The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 302 A masterpiece! A monster movie that hits all the right notes in art, commerce, history, and religion!

……

Starting at the 95-minute mark, the film enters its final, wrap-up phase.

And that will be the most exciting part.

The audience member who was about to pee has been holding it in for an hour. Now he can't leave or sit, so he can only stand there dumbly by the aisle.

In the end, he made a difficult choice: "Hold it in for another 35 minutes!"

……

On the screen.

The leaden-gray sky hung low, like the inner walls of a coffin.

At a nuclear waste disposal site in Nevada.

The sharp thorns of the MUTO slowly emerged from the ground.

During this process, its joints protruded first, grabbing onto some nuclear waste storage containers. Using this as leverage, it immediately pressed down on those storage containers, causing them to dent and twist instantly.

"Squeak~~"

The metallic clang was sharp and unpleasant, making one's ears itch.

At the same time, eerie green nuclear waste poured out of the ruptured storage tanks, like boiling poison on a hellish altar, leaving a pool of corrosive marks on the scorched earth.

Muto emerged from underground.

It shook its body and moved forward slowly.

With each step he took, a tremor would emanate from the ground, and at the same time, the peculiar magnetic energy ripples emanating from Muto's body would occasionally spread outwards.

An invisible magnetic field fluctuation, like a sickle-shaped ripple, swept across the entire ground in a semi-circular pattern.

A cloud of sand and dust billowed up.

The streetlights on the nearby road flickered on and off under the influence of this magnetic field ripples, then crackled and went out one by one.

……

"Drip drip drip!"

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to a National Guard command center in Nevada.

Inside the building, alarms were blaring everywhere.

Inside the command center, people were constantly making phone calls and calling for backup.

Immediately afterwards, fighter jets, armed helicopters, tank units, and missile units on the ground took their positions.

……

The Titan-like monster, MUTO, originally had absolutely no interest in humans, who were like ants.

However, the National Guard's attack completely enraged it!
……

"Om~~"

Muto roared to the sky, and the sac in his chest and abdomen trembled, releasing huge sound waves that included a peculiar electromagnetic pulse.

An approaching fighter jet was the first to be affected; with a "whoosh," all its electronic equipment was instantly destroyed by the electromagnetic pulse.

"boom!"

The fighter jet lost control, flew in an unnatural parabola in the air, and crashed directly at Muto's feet, exploding in a burst of sparks.

At the same time, Muto casually extended his forelimb, and a long, scythe-like limb flashed through the air, directly destroying an armed helicopter.

"Fire, fire!"

"Don't get close to that guy! Use long-range missiles for a barrage."

Seeing this, inside the command center, a man who appeared to be a general began issuing combat orders.

The next second, armed helicopters in the sky, fighter jets circling the MUTO, and long-range missile units on the ground unleashed countless flames, launching a barrage of attacks on the MUTO.

"Om~~"

Deep sonic booms echoed from Muto's body.

The overwhelming barrage of firepower left only some black, scorched marks on Muto's scarred armor.

The camera quickly zoomed in, giving Muto a close-up!
It turns out that Muto's body has a special magnetic field defense shield.

The missiles were unable to penetrate the magnetic field shield and were detonated on the outside.

At this moment, the explosion ended, and the special magnetic field shield crackled on MUTO's body.

It distorted the surrounding space.

……

"my Lord!"

"This monster is incredibly powerful!"

"Unless someone can summon a meteorite, they can't kill it by smashing it down!"

"Otherwise, I can't imagine how humanity could defeat it?"

In the audience, everyone was captivated by the plot of the movie, and everyone was on the edge of their seats worrying about the fate of humanity.

Monsters in monster movies generally follow three rules.

Invincible, uncommunicable, untouchable.

In movies, anyone who violates these three principles will not have a good ending.

……

The U.S. National Guard is still bombarding the MUTO.

But they were helpless.

All we could do was watch as MUTO destroyed everything, wiping out the entire National Guard.

Moreover, they eventually discovered, ironically, that Muto didn't take them seriously at all.

After destroying all their power, Muto spread his wings and flew away from the ruins, the terrifying shockwave sending billows of dust into the air below.

It felt as if the end of humanity was imminent.

……

The scene shifts to Los Angeles.

The setting sun is like blood.

Muto spread its wings, blotting out the sky, and slowly glided across the horizon, its massive body, hundreds of meters long, leaving a terrifying shadow on the ground.

This caused widespread panic throughout Los Angeles.

"Oh my God, what is this?"

"Look at the sky!"

People in Los Angeles noticed the anomaly in the sky, looked up, and immediately screamed.

Lu Zhiyuan used a low-angle shot.

In the steel jungle of the city, a giant monster streaks across the sky, casting a shadow over the streets!
And at the street corner, he deliberately gave a perspective that contrasted the MUTO with humans... Compared to the MUTO, a 2-meter-tall black man was not even as big as its toenail!

This stark contrast made Muto's appearance bring an immense sense of oppression to the entire city.

In this shot, Lu Zhiyuan paid homage to Peter Jackson.

In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the dragon Smaug brought a similar sense of terrifying oppression when he flew over the human city walls!

However, although Smaug's appearance was incredibly awesome, his death was unfortunately too undignified.

……

After a while.

MUTO flew over the entire Los Angeles area, and like a fallen angel, slowly descended from the sky.

It folded its wings and looked down ahead.

In the city streets ahead, people screamed in terror, and countless cars were stuck in traffic.

In the distance, smoke billowed.

The entire city of Los Angeles was plunged into chaos.

Muto stood on the high mountain to the northwest, and crushed the Griffith Observatory with one foot.

This is a landmark building in Los Angeles, symbolizing human civilization's exploration of outer space.

This is a form of visual mockery.

Because humanity has not yet fully grasped the Earth's interior, yet yearns to look up at the stars and explore outer space.

……

Through Muto's perspective, Lu Zhiyuan gave the entire city a distant view.

The setting sun is like blood.

Muto stood high above, looking down at the human world below. His vision stretched out to the distant horizon, which was blurry, but a faint green light appeared.

Muto's eyes narrowed slightly, turning cold.

The camera followed MUTO's line of sight, extending outwards.

Soon, they arrived at the Pacific Ocean.

On the endless, distant sea, Godzilla, under the watchful eyes of the US aircraft carrier fleet, continuously cleaved through the waves, approaching Los Angeles.

……

"Sigh, I guess I'll have to hold this pee until the very end."

The atmosphere has been built up to this point!
The two monsters once again faced each other across the coastline, creating a sense of destiny as they battled for supremacy atop the Bauhinia Peak.

……

Inside the aircraft carrier fleet.

"General, the monster will arrive on our territory in one hour. Should we intercept it?"

On each of the escort ships, people were constantly issuing combat requests.

As the general hesitated, he suddenly received a phone call, and his expression immediately changed: "No attack! Stay on guard!"

……

at the same time.

The American scientific advisory team contacted Dr. Brody and the Japanese scientific team on Keiko Kitagawa's side.

After a brief encounter.

Dr. Brody and Keiko Kitagawa decided to travel to North America.

Outside the door, a helicopter was already ready.

Clearly, they were heading to the United States to discuss how to stop MUTO and Godzilla and save the world!

Both of them are experts in this field.

"Take me with you!"

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Zhang Ruonan volunteered to follow them out.

Keiko Kitagawa glanced at it but didn't say anything.

Dr. Brody shook his head: "Child, it's too dangerous."

Zhang Ruonan didn't speak, but took out a delicate instrument from her bag: "This is my brother's plan B. Maybe I can help."

Dr. Brody looked on with suspicion, but ultimately did not refuse.

……

The camera cuts to the next scene.

Keiko Kitagawa, Dr. Brody, Zhang Ruonan, and Tom Hiddleston all boarded a helicopter and slowly took off from the ruins.

……

North America, Los Angeles.

At Griffith Observatory.

In the hazy gray sky, another [MUTO] slowly descended from the sky.

The two monsters, male and female, began pairing up at Griffith Observatory in the northwest corner of Los Angeles, affectionately greeting each other with their necks.

And across from these two monsters, 4 kilometers away, is the huge Hollywood sign!

"Roar~~"

The two monsters greeted each other and occasionally let out their monstrous roars.

The voice at this moment sounded somewhat different from the angry voice just now; it was higher in frequency and carried a hint of joy.

As the two monsters roared, the electromagnetic pulses emanating from their bodies involuntarily spread outwards in circles of semi-transparent light.

The Hollywood sign was the first to be affected, creaking loudly.

Meanwhile, the glass curtain walls of the nearby high-rise buildings began to shatter with loud crashes, falling to the ground and eliciting screams from countless people.

……

far away.

on the Pacific.

Godzilla's dorsal fin slowly rises in the orange sunset.

The shimmering blue light captivated the audience, drawing their attention and making it impossible to look away.

……

Countless people were running around the Santa Monica pier.

I want to escape this wretched place.

Disaster is imminent!
However, they were moving far too slowly.

The moment Godzilla touched the shore, a massive tide surged up in the Pacific Ocean, instantly engulfing everyone.

Godzilla is not a savior; it doesn't care about humanity at all.

Muto too.

They consider themselves ancient gods of the earth.

Why would the gods care about the thoughts of ants?

The life or death of ants is meaningless to these Titans!

These two sides are destined to clash.

Humans are nothing more than pitiful creatures who happen to appear on their battlefield.

……

The sun has already set.

In the Pacific Ocean, half the sun had already sunk into the sea.

It turned the entire Pacific Ocean west of Los Angeles into a crimson red.

Godzilla dragged its heavy steps along the Santa Monica pier and onto the Los Angeles coast.

Sensing the presence of their old rival, the two MUTOs slowly turned their heads, their movements as slow as metal gears meshing.

……

The camera shifts, and Lu Zhiyuan gives a low-angle shot from below.

From a human perspective, a close-up of MUTO's claws was given.

One of the Mutos suddenly pushed off with its feet, and its entire body was lifted into the air.

It flew down from Griffith Observatory and landed on the highway in the blink of an eye.

The asphalt on the highway was squeezed by tremendous force, and it immediately bulged out like waves. The entire street was squeezed and deformed like putty.

As the street was compressed, the cars parked on both sides were also lifted into the air.

Inside the car, the panicked expressions on people's faces were like moths trapped in amber, frozen in time.

At the end of the street, a dilapidated building suddenly began to collapse, with twisted steel bars exposed inside, rattling and popping.

It makes your teeth feel sore.

……

"Wow!"

"It's so exciting!"

The final showdown lasted 35 minutes.

There are approximately 1000 shots, of which 800 are either special effects or miniature models.

The audience was truly treated to a visual feast.

Lu Zhiyuan demonstrated his mastery of camera angles to the fullest in this special effects blockbuster.

……

On the screen.

MUTO didn't care and continued towards Godzilla.

Wherever it went, all of humanity's creations were utterly destroyed.

Humanity's proud civilization and order are as fragile as paper in the face of such a super monster.

How insignificant are humans? How terrifying are monsters?
In the context of film, such a contrast between high and low, between the insignificant and the grand... serves only as a symbol.

That is, in the face of disaster, humanity is simply powerless to resist.

……

Although powerless to resist.

But humans can record this disaster to warn the future.

In the sky, the Los Angeles media all came out in force.

Countless news helicopters and countless fearless reporters, with cameras in hand, are broadcasting the Battle of Los Angeles to the world!
At this moment, countless televisions around the world are watching the battle in Los Angeles!

……

The audience watched with great interest.

However, as an expert and connoisseur of art films, James was also very excited.

"The Feast of Belshazzar!"

"Light peeks through the clouds in the sky. And amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Godzilla and MUTO are about to clash."

"On the ground, the human city of Los Angeles, luxury stores, expensive cars, and upper-class people in suits were all fleeing in fear."

"The news helicopter on the left side of the screen, radiating light, proclaims to the world the judgment of evil!"

Although the specific scene depicted has no connection whatsoever with the world-famous painting "The Feast of Belshazzar".

But as Lu Zhiyuan's old friend, James immediately recognized it as John Martin's world-famous painting, "The Feast of Belshazzar".

The use of light and shadow effects and artistic metaphors by Lu Zhiyuan here is exactly the same as that world-famous painting!
……

Humanity discovered nuclear physics, used nuclear theory to create super weapons and nuclear power plants, and human civilization entered a completely new realm.

Everyone cheered.

Just like in the world-famous painting "The Feast of Belshazzar", after King Belshazzar conquered Jerusalem, he held a feast, drank wine, and celebrated with joy!

Then, the discovery of the MUTO in the Philippines, the ancient Titan king reappeared in the world, causing great unease among mankind.

Human scientists, represented by Dr. Lee, are essentially the Babylonian sages summoned by King Belshazzar.

King Belshazzar promised everyone that whoever could decipher the "writing on the wall" would be granted high office, great wealth, and endless riches.

That very night...King Belshazzar was killed!
Dr. Li was still explaining the origins of the monster and how to control it... but then, MUTO and Godzilla went out of control.

They stormed into America and destroyed Los Angeles.

From a certain perspective, this scene and plot are equivalent to the king of human civilization being killed by monsters!
……

"Boss, what a crazy guy!"

"He actually incorporated the story and meaning of the painting 'The Feast of Belshazzar' into the entire movie."

"I wonder how many people in the world can see through his intentions?"

"He said he wanted to give up his addiction to making art films... Haha, I knew it, he'd never be able to!"

"However, it was handled very well!"

The movie "Godzilla 2014" seems to have no connection with the world-famous painting "The Feast of Belshazzar" at first glance.

However, after analyzing it, James was able to clearly see that... this movie is a remake of "The Feast of Belshazzar"!
"The thought process of artsy young people is truly unfathomable!"

"He filmed a commercial blockbuster with the feel of an epic myth!"

"It is full of fatalism."

James was filled with emotion.

Fortunately, Lu Zhiyuan was his boss and his business partner.

Otherwise, if he saw someone else make a film like this, he could also incorporate religious metaphors and historical stories from world-famous paintings into the film's plot structure and philosophical reflections.

He'll be insanely jealous!
Because there are quite a few people in this world who can make superhero movies, and Lu Zhiyuan is no exception.

However, the person who can so perfectly blend philosophical metaphors, mythological connotations, religious ideas, and Gothic cold style and dark aesthetics in superhero movies, or rather monster disaster movies, is truly remarkable.

There is one and only one!
Since the birth of cinema, no director has ever achieved this level of skill!

The word "genius" is not enough to describe Lu Zhiyuan!
He is the only one in history!

"Damn it, I'm almost in love with him!"

As an actor, Lu Zhiyuan may be considered to be at the peak in Asia, but on a global scale, he can only be described as mediocre.

Because he wasn't acting; he was playing himself.

However, as a director, he is absolutely the best in history.

Given enough time, James is very confident that Lu Zhiyuan will break all records!
In this world, there are very few directors who are truly deserving to be called "artists" by the audience.

However, Lu Zhiyuan definitely qualifies as one of them!
Moreover, it truly lives up to its name!
True art is always unique.

Directors like Lu Zhiyuan are unique in the entire history of humankind.

It's something that outsiders simply can't imitate!

As a commercial film, Godzilla almost reached its peak.

In addition to his own artistic interpretations, Lu Zhiyuan incorporated elements of his own artistic vision into the commercial film, elevating its artistic quality to a whole new level.

Anyway, James absolutely loves these kinds of movies!

On one hand, you can smell the scent of US dollars, on the other hand, you can enjoy top-notch art style, and you can also experience the dedication that director Lu Zhiyuan puts into his work.

Without a doubt, this film is a masterpiece!
It's worth at least $8 million!
It is undoubtedly the king among countless monster movies!
……

On the screen.

The Japanese delegation, led by Keiko Kitagawa, finally arrived in North America after a long flight.

They quickly entered the U.S. military's joint conference room.

"Use nuclear bombs to kill them!"

Among the Japanese representatives, a group of actors portraying the human forms of Ultraman were shouting incessantly in the conference room.

Among them, the one shouting the loudest was Nagano Hiroshi.

"No! We can't use nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons won't kill them; they'll only make them stronger," Kitagawa Keiko firmly opposed.

Dr. Brody also repeatedly objected: "The hydrogen bomb dropped on Bikini Atoll in 1954 didn't kill it!"

However, high-ranking military officials repeatedly emphasized: "Times have changed! The power of today's weapons far surpasses that of the past! Please have faith in the military strength of the United States! If even the U.S. military cannot kill it, human civilization will be destroyed!"

This statement is indeed true in this era.

The strength of the U.S. military is beyond doubt.

The discussion was adjourned.

The US military leadership is acting unilaterally.

As a bomb disposal soldier, Captain Brody is temporarily drafted to join a nuclear missile delivery team on a mission.

After all, both Godzilla and MUTO possess electromagnetic attack capabilities, which can disable long-range bombs.

Only the oldest type of mechanical nuclear bomb can be used, with a countdown detonation device set, and then dropped to the ground from a high altitude.

Captain Brody is an expert in this area!

……

Unfortunately.

This plan failed miserably!

During the transport of the nuclear bomb, the female MUTO sensed the "nuclear radiation" and launched an attack on the troops transporting the nuclear bomb.

The nuclear bombs were intercepted before they could even be loaded into the bombers.

Brody's squad suffered heavy casualties.

Meanwhile, at Griffith Observatory, the female MUTO lay prostrate, seemingly resting.

The camera quickly zoomed in, giving it a close-up.

The female MUTO's belly began to swell, covered with countless tiny red dots, indicating that she was breathing.

It's pregnant!

It placed the stolen nuclear bombs in its abdomen and used the nuclear radiation emitted by the bombs to replenish its nutrition and serve as its reproductive energy.

……

Griffith Observatory.

It has now become a monster's lair.

If the MUTOs successfully reproduce, humanity will likely be wiped out.

Several news helicopters hovered in the sky, broadcasting the scene of the female MUTO's pregnancy to the world.

Residents of other countries around the world are all gathered around the television, extremely tense.

Some people clasped their hands together and prayed continuously.

Some people kept kissing the cross, hoping that God would punish them.

……

"Reclaim the nuclear bomb! We must not let it become breeding grounds for the monster!"

On the US military side, the second plan was implemented.

Captain Brody has once again embarked on his destiny's journey.

……

at the same time.

On the Pacific coast, U.S. military forces are being continuously deployed.

Large numbers of aircraft carrier groups began to sail in from all over the world, preparing to fight the monster to the death in the Pacific Ocean off Los Angeles.

……

The male MUTO and Godzilla have been fighting for a day in Los Angeles, almost destroying half of the city.

The entire city was filled with ruins and broken walls.

The once bustling city of Los Angeles has been reduced to ashes.

In this battle, at least hundreds of thousands of humans died or were injured.

……

Keiko Kitagawa, Dr. Brody, and Ruonan Zhang got together.

"Now that things have come to this, I'll use my method."

Holding the sonic device, Zhang Ruonan decided to take a gamble.

Keiko Kitagawa and Dr. Brody chased Zhang Ruonan out: "You're still a child. This isn't a place for you."

Zhang Ruonan remained silent, then took out Dr. Li's watch: "Listen to me. Without me, you simply cannot succeed!"

"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Dr. Li!"

Upon seeing Dr. Li's watch, the two fell silent, their expressions showing great struggle.

……

Exterior shot.

Godzilla and MUTO are at war once again!
Meanwhile, Dr. Li and his assistant Wang reappeared in Los Angeles, even in the central area of ​​the battlefield.

Assistant Wang, holding the equipment, said excitedly, "Doctor, the data collection is almost complete. Can we leave now?"

These two are crazy.

Godzilla and MUTO's cataclysmic battle destroyed half of Los Angeles, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people, but they didn't care, all they wanted was to collect data.

"not enough."

Dr. Li shook his head and looked at Godzilla in the distance: "I already have the DNA of [MUTO]. Now I need the DNA of Godzilla."

"I want to know, what are the differences in their life structures?"

Wang Baoqiang opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately decided to remain silent.

What's the point of talking to a madman?

……

Next shot.

Dr. Li and Wang Baoqiang donned highly futuristic jet suits, specifically designed for obstacle traversing such complex terrain.

Soon, the two of them used jet propulsion, making a few easy leaps and bounds, completely ignoring the ravaged city terrain.

A few seconds later, they approached the spot where MUTO had fought Godzilla.

They wanted to collect Godzilla's DNA.

At first, I thought that as long as I got Godzilla's blood, that would be enough.

But they soon discovered that it was impossible to collect them.

Wang Baoqiang frowned slightly as he looked at the string of highly corrosive marks on the ground.

He just watched Godzilla's blood drip down.

However, the blood vaporized in mid-air, leaving only a black residue when it fell to the ground.

"Roar~~"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

The male MUTO, struck hard, staggered. In the distance, the female MUTO realized the male was no match for Godzilla and moved closer to help!

At that moment, Dr. Li and Wang Baoqiang turned their heads at the same time and noticed that the female Muto's abdomen had become swollen.

It contains granular luminescent particles that are constantly twisting.

These are the reproductive spores of MUTO!
Upon seeing this, Dr. Li's eyes immediately lit up.

"No, no... Doctor, this is too dangerous!"

Wang Baoqiang instantly realized what Dr. Li was thinking, and shook his head repeatedly, a pleading look in his eyes.

"Plan B, to collect Godzilla's DNA, has failed."

"Now, we will execute plan c!"

Dr. Li's expression was firm, but he also knew that asking Wang Baoqiang to go with him was somewhat unreasonable.

He gave all the unnecessary equipment he was carrying to Wang Baoqiang: "Assistant Wang, you stay here. I'll be right back!"

"No, Doctor, don't go!"

Wang Baoqiang kept trying to persuade him.

However, Dr. Li remained unmoved.

Wang Baoqiang was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

boom!
Just then, a building collapsed, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.

When his life was at stake, Wang Baoqiang couldn't care less about Dr. Li; escaping was his top priority.

However, as he fled for his life, he kept glancing in Dr. Li's direction.

Amidst the billowing dust, Dr. Li's figure gradually receded into the distance until it disappeared completely.

……

at the same time.

Thousands of meters in the air.

Keiko Kitagawa, as the pilot, flies the Hercules transport plane with a dashing and heroic air.

Inside the transport plane, Tom Hiddleston and a group of human warriors, fully armed.

Their gazes fell on Zhang Ruonan, with a hint of strangeness in them.

Inside the cabin, everyone else was a burly soldier, except for Zhang Ruonan, who was quite small.

This scene was like a little quail blending into a flock of vultures.

It looks out of place and doesn't quite fit.

"Hey, little angel, what's your name? How about I treat you to a glass of Texas milk after the mission is over?"

This must be a redneck soldier from Texas.

In response to the teasing remark, Zhang Ruonan looked up and asked, "I've tried milk from Dezhou, Shandong; it tastes pretty good. Is it popular in the US too?"

……

"Ha ha!"

The human warrior in the movie had a puzzled look on his face, perhaps because he didn't understand.

Because the cabin was just too noisy.

However, many people in the audience burst into laughter upon hearing this line.

In such a tense moment, Zhang Ruonan still had the mood to joke. What a lovely little girl, and she's really brave.

No wonder she's Dr. Li's sister.

Both siblings are equally insane!

……

When Zhang Ruonan saw her performance in the movie, she immediately covered her face, feeling extremely embarrassed.

She quietly tugged at Lu Zhiyuan's sleeve: "Brother, I feel this line is really silly. Should we change it?"

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and whispered in Zhang Ruonan's ear, "I specially invited a manager from Bright Dairy to this screening. After it's over, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will sign a contract with you immediately."

Bright Dairy has a milk company in Dezhou.

Based on Zhang Ruonan's line alone, she's definitely going to be the milk spokesperson!
Moreover, Zhang Ruonan has a great image; her skin is fair and she looks very healthy, and her smile is so cute.

Who wouldn't want their child to grow up to look like this?
"Brother, how much is the endorsement fee?"

Upon hearing about the endorsement fee, Zhang Ruonan's eyes lit up, and she felt a warm glow in her heart, thinking that Lu Zhiyuan was truly kind to her.

They really went to great lengths to get her some endorsement fees.

"It should be around five or six million."

For Lu Zhiyuan, this amount of money is just a matter of getting a special effects shot, but for a young girl like Zhang Ruonan, it's an immense fortune.

"Brother, when I get my endorsement fee, I'll buy you a world-famous painting, okay?"

Even before receiving the money, Zhang Ruonan had already planned how to spend it.

At the same time, Zhang Ruonan glanced silently at Reba, who was standing to Lu Zhiyuan's right.

She seemed to understand why Alita, who was invincible in the universe in the movie, and Dilraba, who had become the number one female lead in film history in real life, would choose to become a mistress and take her place, such an undignified thing!
Lu Zhiyuan is so good to his leading lady!
Even better, Dilraba has retired!
I am the only one!

……

The milk incident was just a minor episode.

The next second, the audience's eyes widened and they became excited.

The climax of the entire movie: an angel descends upon Los Angeles—it has finally appeared!

……

On the screen.

Under a burst of camera flash.

At this time, 10,000 meters above the ground, the sun has not yet risen.

It was still dark and gloomy outside the porthole.

The night sky was dark and hazy.

Half of the Earth was completely covered, as if by a vast, inky canopy.

Only the navigation lights flashing on the wingtips shone in the darkness, becoming the only points of light in this chaos.

The camera then switched to the interior of the transport plane.

"Get ready. 10-second countdown."

In the cockpit, Keiko Kitagawa calmly and methodically began informing the soldiers inside the cabin while continuously pressing buttons.

"3, 2, 1..."

As Keiko Kitagawa finished counting down, she pressed the button to open the hatch.

"Boom!"

The cabin door opened.

Outside the transport plane, dawn breaks.

On the crimson horizon, a gleaming, whitish dot unexpectedly appeared.

Soon after, a gleaming, circular arc appeared on the horizon.

Immediately afterwards, countless golden arrows were launched, radiating across the sky and the earth.

At this moment, the sun is like the ruler of the universe, full of grandeur and magnificence.

Countless golden rays burst forth.

Golden sunlight streamed through the porthole.

There was a warm and cozy atmosphere inside the cabin.

Bathed in golden light, human warriors, fully armed, lined up to parachute.

……

At this moment, the camera shoots from above.

Even from a distance of tens of thousands of meters, one could vaguely see Godzilla and MUTO, two monsters, wrestling amidst smoke and flames in the city below.

The conflict between the two forces continuously crushed the city's buildings into ruins.

……

"Jump!"

The cabin door opened, revealing the faint glow of the sky.

One by one, human warriors, as insignificant as dust, emerged from the aircraft and jumped down in single file towards the city cluster below.

Zhang Ruonan followed at the back, took a deep breath, and then jumped down.

The powerful airflow makes it impossible for humans to control themselves in the air.

Zhang Ruonan opened her eyes and could vaguely see other soldiers nearby struggling and tumbling in the air, their descent trajectories extremely chaotic.

In her ears, there was the whistling wind and the faint rumbling of explosions and the lingering echoes of alarms coming from the ground below.

The insignificance of humanity and the oppressive feeling of civilization's collapse are vividly portrayed through Zhang Ruonan's helpless state of being suspended in mid-air.

……

Suddenly, the camera slowed down.

At this moment, the camera's focus shifted from Zhang Ruonan to one of the human soldiers, giving him a close-up shot.

puff!
At that moment, a turbulent current appeared in the air and suddenly grabbed a soldier, who instantly lost control of his body.

The soldier, in despair, spun and fell, completely separated from the main force, and quickly disappeared from the camera's view.

……

Zhang Ruonan withdrew her gaze, her jaw clenched.

Against the gray sky, Zhang Ruonan was dressed in white, a stark contrast to the black combat uniforms of the other human warriors.

At this moment, Zhang Ruonan appears clean and delicate to the audience, exuding a sense of lonely and sacred purity!

It was like an angel descending from heaven.

In this situation, a ray of morning light, a warm orange-yellow, suddenly pierced through the gap in the clouds, radiating outwards onto Zhang Ruonan.

The warm orange light covered Zhang Ruonan's body, making it seem as if she were wearing sunlight.

Thin clouds and light mist greatly enhanced the layers of light and shadow.

In the backlight, the edges of Zhang Ruonan's hair, facing away from the light source, created a glowing, velvety effect.

An unparalleled "holy light hair" effect appeared.

……

A memorable scene has occurred!

……

"My God, I think I saw an angel!"

"What's this girl's name?"

"At first, I thought she was plain-looking, even lacking facial definition, and looked a bit like a small catfish."

"But now, I must admit that I was terribly wrong."

"She's so beautiful!"

"So beautiful it takes your breath away!"

Zhang Ruonan is the kind of person who seems ordinary at first glance, but becomes more and more beautiful and adorable the more you look at her.

If a director is willing to create an atmosphere for her, she can always bring a unique experience to people, making it very easy for male audiences to fall in love at first sight.

"Li Na".

"Her name is Li Na, and she's Dr. Li's younger sister!"

Someone nearby offered a quiet explanation.

"Lina, Lina? The Slayer from DOTA? Nice name! But she looks more like the Crystal Maiden."

For a movie, iconic scenes don't advance the plot in any way.

But it can forcibly stretch a movie to a height that doesn't belong to it... and make famous scenes appear multiple times in a movie.

Although the plot remains unchanged, it greatly showcases the director's artistic skill!

It can also make some amateur actors famous overnight and cause a sensation around the world!

The reason why movies are an art form is because these memorable scenes are unforgettable, even after 10 or 20 years.

Why is it that some celebrities, despite having acted in many productions, are still not remembered by the audience?
Some celebrities, despite only having made a few films or TV series, have left a lasting impression on countless people and become a shared memory for a generation.
The key question is, does it have any memorable moments?

A five-second memorable moment can have a greater impact on a celebrity's social media presence than a 40-episode TV series!
As a director, Lu Zhiyuan may not be that great at controlling the plot of a film... but what he excels at is creating memorable scenes for the characters!

……

The entire shot begins with Lu Zhiyuan's preparation for Zhang Ruonan's skydive.

The changing light and clouds in the sky, and the sudden loss of contact with the other human soldiers, made this mission seem incredibly difficult.

Even so, Zhang Ruonan jumped down without hesitation.

During the descent, she even had strands of holy light appear on her body, a visual symbol with strong religious connotations.

At that moment, to these Western viewers, Zhang Ruonan was like an angel incarnate!

……

On the screen.

Other soldiers landed sporadically, creating chaos.

Zhang Ruonan, dressed in white, appeared unusually light-footed, and she landed precisely between two collapsed high-rise buildings.

A ray of sunlight slanted in and fell on her pure cheek.

The camera zoomed in, giving Zhang Ruonan a close-up of her face.

A ray of sunlight pierced through her cheek and shone on her cat paw print band-aid, making it appear like a sacred mark.

In this chaotic world, her eyes were unusually calm and clear.

Looking at the surrounding ruins, she pursed her lips slightly, even showing a hint of pity.

Zhang Ruonan naturally possessed the pure, innocent eyes of Bambi.

In the face of such a human catastrophe and a scene of utter destruction, such a gaze is extremely precious, capable of evoking the audience's deepest empathy!
At that moment, the golden sunlight fell on her eyelashes and the contours of her face, creating delicate halos around the edges.

At this moment, the background around her completely lost focus and became a blurry mess.

In the movie, Lu Zhiyuan gave Zhang Ruonan a two-second close-up of her face, which was enough to make the audience remember her.

Most actors simply can't withstand such close-ups.

If she can persevere, Zhang Ruonan can become a world-class actress.

Two seconds later, the camera jerked slightly.

In the distance, Godzilla and MUTO are once again engaged in a fierce battle.

Lu Zhiyuan took a low-angle shot from below.

Based on the ground, the camera focuses on Zhang Ruonan's lower body and legs, showing her running in a trembling world... A close-up of her upper body is impossible because Zhang Ruonan's running style is too similar to Seven's. It would easily pull the audience out of the story.

Thick smoke billowed, the city skyline was shattered, and the enormous shadows of Godzilla and MUTO roared amidst the ruins.

In the background, there was a constant, earth-shattering noise.

However, as Zhang Ruonan started running, Lu Zhiyuan added a section of ethereal, wordless female chanting, which, combined with the ambient reverberation of the wind, created a surreal religious atmosphere for Zhang Ruonan!

This makes her seem even more angelic.

……

at this time.

Zhang Ruonan suddenly stopped and stood on a high point of the ruins, looking into the distance.

"elder brother!"

She couldn't help but shout it out.

The audience was eager to know what Zhang Ruonan had seen.

However, the camera suddenly cut to something else...

Behind them, amidst the ruins, the epic battle between Godzilla and the MUTO was drawing to a close.

"Roar~~"

Godzilla gripped the MUTO's neck with both hands and unleashed an extremely blinding [Atomic Breath] into its mouth!
This is Godzilla's coolest scene.

Lu Zhiyuan thought about it for a long time and decided to focus on this moment when all the characters faced their fateful choices, a moment that all the audience had been eagerly anticipating.

Contribute a memorable scene to Godzilla!
The stage was set up, drawing everyone's attention, and the emotions and plot were brought to their peak.

This moment belongs to Godzilla!
After all, this is a monster movie.

Godzilla will always be the main character.

……

"Wow...that's so awesome!"

In the theater, Godzilla suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, instantly killing the MUTO, who was previously evenly matched with him.

The audience stared in disbelief, involuntarily mimicking Godzilla's atomic breath, emitting gasps of surprise.

Another iconic scene!

……

Boom!

The male MUTO died, and Godzilla turned around and headed towards the female MUTO.

At this moment, Godzilla's power reached its peak.

"Roar~~"

In this situation, the female MUTO was furious and showed no intention of backing down, charging straight forward.

As a result, Godzilla performed a tail whip and slammed it heavily onto a building!
On top of the building, the remaining glass curtain wall suddenly exploded, and countless glass crystals rained down like raindrops.

The female MUTO suddenly became critically ill.

Godzilla stepped forward, grabbed its neck, and stomped down hard, causing the ground to shake and blood to splatter everywhere.

……

The camera couldn't even bear to give a close-up.

All that could be seen was a cloud of black blood mist, constantly bursting out and scattering across the surrounding streets, quickly evaporating and turning into a black residue!
The female MUTO lay on the ground, utterly powerless to resist, only trembling slightly.

……

The camera switches to this angle.

It was given to Zhang Ruonan.

Around the ruins.

Zhang Ruonan looked ahead, stretched out one hand, her eyes filled with tears, and cried out repeatedly, her voice trembling with sobs, "No, brother... don't!"

In the ruins.

Dr. Li was seriously injured and was bleeding all over his body.

Hearing the sound behind him, he turned around and glanced back, but his hands moved without any hesitation.

He took out a special box, painstakingly cut off a portion of the cluster of insect egg spores left by the female MUTO, and put it into his experimental box.

Meanwhile, Tom Hiddleston's character, a bomb disposal expert, finally made it across the battlefield.

They arrived at the location of the nuclear bomb.

He first protected the nuclear bomb.

Turning around, he saw the MUTO monster had laid so many eggs. Enraged, Tom Hiddleston opened a nearby tanker truck.

Soon, the fuel filled the entire crater.

Tom Hiddleston pulled out a grenade from his waist and threw it in without saying a word.

"Do not!!!"

Zhang Ruonan noticed this scene, was terrified, and burst into tears.

boom!
Unfortunately, she only caught a glimpse of Dr. Li's back before the next second, the fuel in the crater burst into flames.

The massive shockwave sent Zhang Ruonan flying, leaving her unconscious on the ground.

The view gradually darkened.

……

When Zhang Ruonan opened her eyes again, she was lying on a stretcher.

The entire city of Los Angeles was in a mess.

After the battle ended, Godzilla did not leave, but lay prone on the spot for a short rest.

Godzilla's enormous body, like a small mountain, lay across the ground.

Its enormous dorsal fin emitted a faint, eerie blue light, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

Humans dare not approach it.

Zhang Ruonan struggled to her feet, took out a sonic control device from her bag, walked near Godzilla, and played a frequency.

This is a sound wave that is almost inaudible to humans.

As Zhang Ruonan's sonic control device played that silent frequency, the eerie blue light on Godzilla's body began to grow brighter and brighter.

It slowly opened its eyes.

His golden pupils were like those of a deity, noble and mysterious.

Godzilla glanced silently at Zhang Ruonan, its pupils narrowing for a moment, and in an instant, its aura surged.

"Careful! Stay back!"

Keiko Kitagawa sensed danger and immediately stood in front of Zhang Ruonan, wanting to protect her.

"Need not."

Zhang Ruonan waved her hand and gave Godzilla a gentle smile: "This is good for you. It's an infrasound frequency therapy method."

After killing the MUTO, Costa did not continue its attacks on humans.

Moreover, Dr. Li is dead.

As Dr. Li's younger sister, Zhang Ruonan inherited his will and wanted to continue researching these Titans.

However, she represents the kind and law-abiding side.

Unlike Dr. Li, who is chaotic and evil, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!
"It really works!"

A moment later, Kitagawa Keiko and the others saw that Godzilla's wounds were slowly healing, and they all looked at Zhang Ruonan in astonishment.

Zhang Ruonan wanted to proudly say, "This was left by my brother," but in the end she said nothing and just forced a smile.

She acted very well in this part.

His acting skills are simply superb.

……

The movie has finally come to an end.

After recovering from its injuries, Godzilla stood up again and, without harming humans, slowly walked into the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

The enormous dorsal fin emitted a faint, eerie blue light before slowly disappearing.

It must be said that the scene of the giant beast entering the sea is always thrilling and unforgettable every time I watch it.

……

The movie credits began to appear in rows.

However, the audience felt somewhat unsatisfied after seeing this moment.

"This is the end?"

"It looks good, but I feel like something's missing."

"Is Dr. Li really dead?"

"His so-called Monarch Plan is probably just about controlling monsters and using them for humanity's purposes, right? Actually, if you think about it carefully, he's the real pragmatist!"

Although Dr. Li appears to be a villain.

They've been stirring things up all along.

From 1999 to 2013, Dr. Lee was present at every scene involving monsters.

It can be said that many of these things were caused by Dr. Li.

Without Dr. Li, the MUTO monster might not be so powerful.

However, as rational adults and utilitarians, everyone present greatly admired Dr. Li.

Once a goal is set, never give up until it is achieved!

Even if it costs me my life, I will have no regrets!
Dr. Li just lacked a bit of luck.

It's truly heartbreaking.

"Wait a minute."

"Knowing Director Lu as I do, the Easter eggs in a movie are always more exciting than the main feature!"

"Believe me, this time will be no exception!"

Most of the audience members who came to Los Angeles to watch the preview screening were longtime fans of Lu Zhiyuan, having at least seen the "Real Steel" series.

They are very confident about the Easter eggs in Lu Zhiyuan's movies.

……

On the screen.

The screen went black for a moment, then gradually brightened up again.

There really was an Easter egg!
……

Gulf of Mexico.

Wang Baoqiang drove a second-hand pickup truck, having bought some delicious food from the market, and excitedly headed towards the seaside.

On the beach, there was a man who looked exactly like Dr. Lee, wearing a fisherman's hat, with half of his burned face showing.

He sat there fishing without saying a word.

Not far away are Shell's oil wells.

The camera slowly panned to the drilling platform.

"Quick, quick!"

"Report this to your superiors immediately! The underwater survey team has discovered an unidentified monster!"

Someone was shouting something on the drilling platform.

Countless workers were attracted to it.

Immediately afterwards, someone took out a drone and began launching it towards the sea surface. At the same time, someone else threw a deep-sea camera onto the sea surface.

"Oh my God!"

The next second, the workers on the screen and the audience in the theater gasped in unison.

Because a monster appeared in the picture.

The monster's arms and tentacles are about 10 meters long, and it looks like a large squid, but you can vaguely see the shadow of the MUTO!

Without a doubt, this is a completely new creature!

The camera switched back.

Near the port, Dr. Li took out a special sound wave control device and pressed a button.

"Om~~"

The invisible infrasound, inaudible to humans, spread towards the sea.

Upon hearing the infrasound, the sea monster froze for a moment, as if listening intently.

The next second, the monster flashed and disappeared into the deep sea.

……

That concludes the film.

……

"Oh my God!"

"Dr. Li, did you really create an obedient Titan using the MUTO's insect eggs and spores?"

This Easter egg is more exciting than the whole movie!

Because humanity has finally found another way through monster movies.

Biological genes!

This is something Alita did in Real Steel 3!

But this was not Lu Zhiyuan's true intention.

What he really wanted was—

"and many more!"

"I think I've seen this news before?"

Someone suddenly realized something and frantically scrolled through their phone, eventually finding a news article.

— [Shell Oil Company, while exploring for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, discovered a mysterious monster, which they called the "Hellbeast"!]

"what?"

"real or fake?"

"This is news? It was something that was released last month?"

"Fuck!"

The movie once again connected with reality.

There's no doubt this movie is going to be a hit!

This single news story, combined with all the things Dr. Li did in the entire movie... at this point, the audience can no longer tell whether Dr. Li is a real person or a fictional character created by Lu Zhiyuan.
The character of Dr. Li has once again broken down the barriers between dimensions!
Moreover, this time, even more difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake is than Li Wen, who made counterfeit money in "Art Students".

After all, counterfeiting money is something that can't be done openly.

A potential Nobel Prize winner in biology deserves the admiration of all humankind!
