The moment Mami was called "senior", the tone of the story of "Madoka Magica" began to take a sharp turn for the worse.
As the fate of the magical girl and QB's conspiracy are gradually revealed, the whole movie begins to take on a tragic tone.
The moment the audience saw Sayaka turn into a witch, they were already deeply attracted by the story.
From the very beginning, this movie seemed to be designed to break the audience's inherent impression of movies.
The gorgeous special effects shots at the beginning let the Chinese audience know that "Transformers" is not the pinnacle of movie visuals.
The twists and turns of the plot subvert the audience's simple and crude perception of Hollywood movies.
Especially in terms of the suspense created by the story, this film almost reaches the extreme.
The realism of the scene brought by the 3D stereoscopic effect makes all the audience look forward to how the visual effects of the next scene will be presented.
The incredible scenes of the magical girls on the screen have exceeded the audience's imagination.
Even the most imaginative audience probably couldn't imagine such a gorgeous scene before watching "Madoka Magica".
All the audience in the theater had their eyes wide open. Their nerves had been shocked to the point of numbness, leaving only mechanical sighs.
The filmmakers couldn't even utter an exclamation of amazement; all they felt was a deep sense of frustration.
Everyone here has been immersed in the film industry for many years and is knowledgeable.
Originally, they thought that there was no movie in the world that could amaze them.
But the facts are there, and this movie called "Madoka Magica" really did it.
Even a filmmaker like me finds it unbelievable, so what kind of facial reactions will ordinary audiences have when they see this movie?
Although everyone could see something by looking back, no one did so.
Firstly, they are afraid of seeing the audience's reaction.
Because many people feel that if they witness the expressions of the audience at this moment, they will even lose confidence in making the movie.
Secondly, they were reluctant to take their eyes off the film, as they wanted to know what heights the film could reach.
Both in terms of visual effects and plot.
Many people in the industry have already foreseen this.
When this movie was officially released on a large scale, the sensation it caused was definitely incomparable to any previous movie.
Feng Laopao and Zhang Guoshi sat together with several other film directors they knew.
They watched the shocking scene on the screen, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.
Before watching the movie, Master Zhang still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Madoka Magica" is just exaggerating, it's actually not that exaggerated.
But after actually watching the movie, he knew very well that he could not make such a movie.
It's not just a technical issue, but a matter of the expressiveness of the picture.
As a master of color, Old Zhang naturally knows how to express the beauty of the lens.
But his imagination of movie shots has always been flat.
However, "Madoka Magica" used real images to show him another possibility of film visual art - three-dimensional depth.
If you look closely, you will find that the movie shots of "Madoka Magica" are all specially designed.
They are not simply turning 2D images into 3D stereoscopic images, but from the very beginning when composing the picture, the director has already thought about how to use 3D to express this kind of image.
Therefore, the special effects of "Madoka Magica" are particularly realistic and harmonious.
This is like a hero who has mastered his martial arts skills to perfection, and his martial arts skills are even better than Dongfang Bubai.
So the hero excitedly challenged the number one martial arts master to a duel on top of the Forbidden City, hoping to become famous in one battle.
As a result, during the duel, the opponent slowly took out a shotgun and beat the hero into a sieve.
Then the other party quietly lit a cigarette and said:
"My Lord, times have changed."
"I'm not willing to accept this… I really am not willing to accept this!"
Old Zhang sighed softly and said this to Old Feng who was sitting next to him.
I used to laugh at the other party's movies for being unartistic.
But now Old Zhang only felt that his face was slapped.
Even though the movie hasn't finished yet, the story hasn't quite ended yet.
But with nothing on the screen, who dares to say this isn't art? !
Anyway, Old Zhang knows that this movie will definitely win the Best Visual Effects Award at the Academy Awards in March.
Because it has gone beyond the entire film industry.
"Yeah, it's really quite different."
Feng Laopao nodded slowly, agreeing with Old Zhang's statement.
Originally, he was full of confidence in his film "Aftershock" which will be released this year.
In order to achieve the best earthquake scene effect, he invested almost all of his investment in those few minutes of earthquake scenes.
This caused the budget of the entire film to be seriously unbalanced, so that the film could only be supported by literary drama in the later stages.
But Old Feng has no regrets, because he believes that he has achieved the pinnacle of earthquake special effects in China.
He even thinks he can compete with Hollywood movies.
But now...
Feng Laopao feels that compared with "Magical Girl", his own movie is like a play on the stage.
The two are totally not on the same level.
"I heard that this movie uses almost all CG technology? I can't feel it at all, it seems completely real."
Director Feng asked himself, "Unfortunately, I'm still using models here."
Master Zhang naturally knew what Old Feng meant, and he had also seen the promotion of his new movie.
Normally in previous years, this movie would definitely attract everyone's attention.
But in 2010, all movies that focus on special effects will be compared with "Madoka Magica".
As for the result, it is naturally self-evident.
Old Zhang patted Old Feng on the shoulder and consoled him, "Don't be discouraged. Your movie was already very good. You were just unlucky to have Madoka Magica. It's not your fault!"
Old Feng nodded silently.
Even though I feel unwilling to lose to an opponent like Madoka Magica, I have nothing to say.
"What are you going to do next?" Old Zhang asked again.
Old Feng shook his head. Although he knew that "Aftershock" was doomed to fail, he had poured too much effort into this film and it was not something he could just give up.
but...
[I feel like I can work with Director Kiryu...]
As the number one commercial director in China, Feng undoubtedly has a keen grasp of the market.
3D and IMAX will undoubtedly become standard features of commercial films in the future.
If I handle it well, I might become the first person to try it out in the Chinese market.
There is no need to think about 3D, as the special effects of my own movie are concentrated in one section.
If the audience is asked to wear 3D glasses for that plot, they will definitely be criticized.
But IMAX is worth a try.
Old Feng believes that after "Mana Madoka", the domestic demand for the IMAX market will definitely expand.
If I promote myself as China's first commercial IMAX blockbuster, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Moreover, IMAX's processing only needs to focus on the earthquake scene, which is acceptable from a cost perspective.
Thinking of this, Old Feng had a wish that the movie would end quickly, because he couldn't wait to communicate with Kiryu Nanaya about the cooperation on IMAX.
··
Compared to the filmmakers who have complicated emotions, the audience's emotions towards "Madoka Magica" are much more straightforward.
nice!
Whether it is the level of special effects or the wonderful plot, "Madoka Magica" shows the Chinese audience what a world-class movie should look like.
"I'm so nervous!"
When the movie showed the part where Homura Akemi was fighting Witch Night, Qin Jue couldn't help but stroke his chest gently and sighed to Xiao Jie Mo beside him.
"The plot is so tight that it's hard to breathe."
Little Wasabi bit his lip but said nothing.
At this moment, she was fantasizing in her head, if the actress named Sakutsuki Yumi was replaced by herself, would the effect be better?
I just heard others say that Homura Akemi's performance has a different kind of allure.
But Xiao Jie Mo felt that the effect would definitely be better if he were the one to do it.
At least my figure is better than this actress's.
Although this actress named Yumi has a good figure.
But on such a big screen, wouldn't it be better to highlight the advantages of the big screen by making yourself more curvy?
However, this thought only flashed through Xiao Jie Mo's mind.
Soon her attention was focused on the movie again.
After all, the movie is so exciting that if you don't enjoy it well, you will definitely be punished by God.
At the end of the film, Madoka takes the initiative to sign a contract with QB in order to save all the magical girls, and eventually becomes the Principle of the Circle.
Homura Akemi became a magical girl and continued to fight in the human world.
In a scene that I wasn't sure if it was a dream, Madoka and Homura Akemi walked away hand in hand, leaving their ribbons on the ground.
Then the image on the big screen disappeared and the light from the ceiling came on again.
There were countless applause in the screening room. The applause was extremely warm and lasted for a long time.
Along with the applause, there was also a lot of discussion from the audience.
Many of the fans who came to the premiere in groups couldn't help but start discussing the film that had just ended.
"This movie is really great! The girls' emotions eventually turned into despair, and it's a credit to Nanaya Kiryu for writing it! The moment when Mami turned her head was so touching."
When Gao Chang Gong heard someone on his left express such a sentiment, he immediately moved away from this person with abnormal thinking.
"All of Kiryu Nanaya's movies are really good, but the endings are so sad."
On Qin Jue's side, he also heard many people clapping and talking.
"Yeah, it's like watching Titanic. The two protagonists can never meet again. The only thing that can prove the existence of one of them is the memory of the other."
Another girl showed a longing look on her face.
"This kind of slightly sad feeling is really heartbreaking, but also very impressive."
"I came here because Nanaya Kiryu can speak fluent Chinese, and it turns out the movies he made are also great. I'll go back and look for them online and watch all the movies he made in the past."
My companion who came to watch the movie immediately recommended it to his friend: "You won't be disappointed. His Fate series is also a classic!"
Even a middle-aged fan on the right who looked mature and steady nodded and said, "It's pretty good, the visual effects are great! But the story is a bit sad."
His companions had a different opinion: "But that's why it's so impressive! I haven't seen such an amazing movie in years. No wonder it ranks first in the world."
This also reached Xiao Jie Mo's ears, and she found that the fans at the scene all liked Kiryu Nanaya's movies very much.
Because he was sitting among many ordinary audiences, Xiao Jie Mo had the most intuitive feeling.
This Japanese director is likely to bring a huge craze to this country.
It is even possible that he will replace Cameron's position in the minds of Chinese audiences.
In this case, any news related to Nanaya Kiryu will inevitably become the focus of domestic entertainment media for a long time.
Especially when "Madoka Magica" has become a champion in film history.
This is not simply a 1+1 effect, but a 1x1 effect.
Emmmm...something seems wrong?
Xiao Jie Mo, who had already made up his mind, became even more determined at this moment.
Sure enough, the path of converting exports to domestic sales may really be a shortcut.
Well, together with my good friends, I want to become the most popular actress in the country!
Little Wasabi swore so.
