China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Whispers resounded throughout the cinema hall.

The filmmakers were in a commotion, and the film critics' area was also whispering to each other.

"Aren't there any cuts in the middle?"

"I have no impression..."

"So this is a long shot that lasts ten minutes from the beginning of the movie? And it's still going on?"

Zhang Mo also muttered incredulously to himself and seemed to be asking his father beside him: "There was no editing before?"

Lao Mouzi slowly shook his head: "No."

As a director with a background in photography, he couldn't be more sensitive to lenses, so he can be sure that there has been no editing or switching of lenses from the beginning of the movie to the present.

This long shot that is not over yet and does not know how long it will last made him extremely amazed.

Not just because of the length of this shot - the last time I saw such a long shot in a theater was in "Gravity". It also lasted for a full 13 minutes from the beginning of the film and became a textbook storyboard.

This long shot in "1951" tends to exceed its duration.

But there was no "breathing effect" in this long shot, at least it was not noticed by him.

In one shot to the end, or rather a pseudo-shot to the end, I could only distinguish three or five hidden editing shots. After that, I completely forgot about them and was completely immersed in the story.

A large part of you is the younger brother who is eager to save his elder brother.

"Li Yannian" tells you why we can win and how to win, while "Nineteen Five One" tells you how cruel the war is and how miserable the people who have been ravaged by the war are, thus once again telling you why we must win this war.

!]

But in this long-shot scene, the characters entering the country and the environment are not only large in number, but also dense in information, and the span is also very large. The camera never switches as the scene changes.

A long shot lasting sixteen minutes...this is not the kind of low-budget art film.

From the beginning of the movie to the present, the scheduling and span of the scenes are no less than those of industrial war blockbusters, from campsites to fortifications, to underground tunnels, to battlefields filled with pits and corpses.

It's a video parody of a video game.

In the beginning, you are in two places.

This kind of long lens cannot be completed by designing a split-shot script. The shooting process is more difficult and has more problems.

The Beijing News reporter on the side also looked a little unbelievable. He looked down at his phone, slowly shook his head and said: "Sixteen minutes..."

A war movie made from one shot!

You are just like them. You will be covered in mud even after rolling for a short distance. If you accidentally fall into a ditch, you will be cut and bleeding profusely. If you are hit by a comrade, your hand will be inserted into the back of the rotting corpse next to you.

While Lao Mouzi was marveling at the long shot of the movie that was still going on, there was a commotion in the media reporter area.

[Just got off the plane... Well, I just got home from the theater. Let me tell you how I feel.

Chen Jingxing turned war movies into works of art!】

As the viewing process continues, this incredible feeling is gradually engulfed by the irresistible immersion, and becomes gradually numb.

Even if they are journalists, they understand the significance of this kind of long shot.

…

The result was beyond my expectation!

I thought that Director Chen was playing tricks on the narrative structure, and even speculated that he would incorporate some high science fiction concepts (of course this is unlikely).

Although Chutian has participated in many movie screenings or premieres, he is not a film practitioner after all, so he is still a little unsure.

I have already bought a ticket for the movie to be released. If you are still hesitating, don’t hesitate. This movie belongs to the cinema.】

The movie is only half over!

I was immediately stunned!

I was originally extremely curious about how Chen Jingxing would interpret a war tribute film, because as we all know he is a very creative and imaginative director, and I especially wanted to see his talent put into a war-themed film about the Korean War.

What kind of surprises will the movie bring us...or disappointments?

Long shots are not only about showing off skills, but also have a huge impact on the immersion of the audience in the narrative and creating a sense of reality in the background and environment!

This is definitely a work of art!

There is not even a breathing effect of the lens.

A small part of you is that calm and experienced scout.

There are also factors such as the recent spat with Beijing Film Studio and the comparison with "King Kong River".

The narrative is understated, and even the soundtrack is light, without a sense of grandeur, and is completely integrated into the scene. There are no point-to-point gun battles, and no highly skilled fighting scenes.

Generally speaking, when the lens changes focus, the focal length will also change slightly. Even if only part of the lens group moves, this displacement will affect other lenses and the position of the lens group. Even if it is only a slight change, it will also cause

Slight zoom effect.

In the dark night, the occasional flash bomb illuminates the ruins. The light and shadow are so shocking, cruel and beautiful that you can only experience it on the big screen.

I won’t spoil anything else. The plot of this movie is very simple, but the viewing experience will definitely shock you!

To sum it up with what Director Chen once said: You just need to feel it!]

[Amazing! Chen Jingxing actually made "Battlefield 1" into a movie.

[When everyone thought that Chen Jingxing said in his acceptance speech at the Golden Rooster Awards, "I am not willing to wait for the years to pass, and I hope to make more movies and win more awards before the years pass... I sincerely hope to come again next time"

"The judges will not directly award me a Lifetime Achievement Award." This sentence is a ridiculing and humorous statement.

You can only be pressed into the screen by the director and cinematographer throughout the whole process, and you can only be attached to the protagonist and unable to break away.

But because they are walking the same path, you will be with them all the way, through crowded trenches, on muddy roads, over corpses crawling with flies and maggots, and seeing beautiful rhododendrons and gurgling water.

The charred corpse was used as a wayfinding sign...

Unlike other movies where death and sacrifice are so tragic, this is the first time I have seen such a clean and tidy death, and it is so cruel that it makes people shudder.

It’s too shocking!

Damn, I always thought that the protagonist saved an enemy pilot because of a moment of weakness, and then was stabbed several times, and then lost his breath in the arms of his comrades in pain and hopelessness.

Because they have realized that the first part of "1951" will definitely leave a mark in the history of war movies. Tomorrow, no, tonight's report on "1951" will be covered by this previously unknown story.

The unprecedented shooting technique has hit the screen.

The movie lasts for more than two hours, and it is not draggy or boring. Except for a few beautiful and relaxing moments, the tension is almost from beginning to end.

But he also knew that if this was a real long shot, it would be absolutely amazing.

Therefore, on various forums and social platforms, questions like "Has anyone who has watched the screening said what the movie was like?", "How was the filming of "1951"? Is it very imaginative?", "With "Li Yannian"

Is it similar?" Questions like this.

What is reflected in the screen is that when the focus is switched, the size of the image in the screen will change, and this phenomenon will occur both inside and outside the focus.

What an exaggeration!

But I never expected that Chen Jingxing could still perform tricks that no one could have expected!

One shot to the end! Of course, I think many people say it is a fake one shot, or there are several shots cut, but no matter what, the viewing experience brought about by this so-called fake one shot is simply amazing!

I don't have the words to describe it in detail. Imagine playing games in a movie theater, and the IMAX big screen is your display screen.

If Chen Jingxing is not the winner of the next Golden Rooster Award for Best Director, I will stand on my head!

It was him and you who knelt down and cried beside the corpse of his comrade.

[… It’s so immersive. One shot is definitely not a show off, or it can be considered a show off, but it is perfectly integrated with the narrative of the movie. It allows you to be like a ghost possessing the characters and share them with them.

Perspective, advance and retreat with them.

Of course, I also thought that Chen Jingxing would complete a gift film in a satisfactory way. After all, this subject matter is really not easy to use his advantages.

Although he didn't know how it was done, Zhang Yimou's brain was filled with excitement and questions at this time, because the "breathing effect" has always been something that lens masters like him hate deeply.

If you don’t go to the theater to see this movie, you’re watching it in vain. If you don’t buy an IMAX ticket, you’re spending money in vain!

The whole movie!

Naturally, there were also film critics and fans who had watched the movie and excitedly posted their feedback online.

Chen Jingxing slapped him in the face with practical actions.

The screening of "1951" itself has attracted widespread attention. After all, this is Chen Jingxing's screening, and it is his first non-science fiction film and his first war film.

At this moment, the questions that Chu Tian and other reporters had been brewing in their minds at the media conference after the movie were all thrown out of the window.

Because this "1951" is obviously not the stunning long shot replica of "Gravity" they thought it was.

[Zhang Ruoyun received the lunch box so suddenly...

Instead, the entire movie is one long shot!

It creates an absolute sense of immersion, making you feel as if you are the third soldier behind the two protagonists.

The first wave of feedback came out on Weibo, Douban, and Zhihu, and all major media outlets that were invited to watch the movie screenings also rushed out short drafts of "1951."

What they see is what you see, what they hear is what you hear, and what they encounter is what you encounter.

After shuddering, I felt a huge surge of sadness. This movie was so poetic and cruel, so amazing that I still haven’t recovered yet!]

The most important thing is that this ten-minute long shot not only explains the identity of the protagonist, but also explains the environment and daily life of the entire army. It allows the audience to see bunkers, daily training, underground tunnels, and trenches, and it also gives the audience a sense of immersion.

So true.

But it’s that strong sense of immersion, reality, fear, sadness and anger that directly overwhelms you. It will definitely be a regret if you don’t experience this kind of movie-watching experience in your life.

Chu Tian, ​​the editor-in-chief of Sina Entertainment, asked his colleagues around him in confusion: "It's really a long shot? No editing?"

But the long shot in "Gravity" is essentially a special effects shot, so it can only be said that the director's storyboard design was too powerful.

[I can only use three words to describe "1951": horrifying, cruel, and true.

And it has great stamina!

This kind of immersion is unprecedented. It gives me the feeling of playing a first-person action game. On the big screen, you follow the two protagonists through fields of trees withered by bullets, and speed with them through shells and shells.

The ruins of the shrouded walls, and the corpses they saw with their own eyes were strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowed into them.

To be honest, the story is quite simple. It is a road movie among war movies, but the information density is extremely high.

The one-shot, poetic shot with a war-damaged aesthetic overlays this minimalist story with layers of rich emotions, excitement and worry, tension and relaxation, determination and despair, sadness and awareness.

Coupled with the unusually thick string soundtrack, it is so realistic and immersive]
