"No, the entire picture will not be as accurate as this afterwards, right?"

"How much does this set prop and this special effect cost?"

Lu Xiaoping was confused because the details of "Mission and Choice" have far exceeded his expectations!

Although Lu Xiaoping had heard some rumors before, saying that Tengda had invested heavily in the new movie this time, he just listened casually and didn't take it seriously.

Because bragging is the norm in the industry.

Just like in ancient times, 100,000 people could beat the 500,000 people. Anyway, blow the numbers first, and cheat a few of them.

A movie, buying an IP and hiring a big-name actor will cost a lot of money, and then adding publicity and marketing funds to it, saying that it was invested by several hundred million, but in fact, there was not much money actually used in film production.

Lu Xiaoping originally thought that "Mission and Choice" was just a domestic science fiction movie, and the ceiling of domestic science fiction movies has always been there, not very high at all.

But now, Lu Xiaoping is confused.

Is this a domestic movie?

There is no difference between this detail and those Hollywood blockbusters that cost huge sums of money!

Could it be that "Mission and Choice" really saved all the IP money and the pay for big-name actors, and also saved the publicity funds, and actually spent all the money on the production of the movie?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xiaoping only had one idea: crazy!

This is more than just taking risks, it is simply committing suicide!

If other crews do this, it is almost like seeking death. Of course, the crew cannot do this, because the investor will definitely not agree.

But Tengda is different.

Obviously, Feihuang Studio is not committing suicide. They dare to do this because they have strong confidence in the movie "Mission and Choice". They believe that even without regular publicity, it can beat all games in the same period and break through the siege!

Lu Xiaoping realized that there was a big problem with his judgment!

He used to think that "Mission and Choice" was upgraded because he was not confident and wanted to avoid the Golden Week schedule, but now he realized how this is possible?

The quality of this film is probably a big killer in the Golden Week. How could it be afraid of "The Battleship of the Rage"?

Things are not good...

With a very nervous mood, Lu Xiaoping continued to look down.

...

The following plot can be said to be full of twists and turns, with climaxes, and there is no point in the whole process, full of various reversals, which makes people dizzy.

The storyline of the entire movie revolves around the role of Qin Yi, and the audience's emotions are all affected by the role of Qin Yi.

Although it was a one-man show, Lu Zhiyao completely supported the role through his acting skills and successfully completed the task of mobilizing the audience's emotions.

The whole story can be roughly divided into the following stages:

In the first stage, Qin Yi became the commander. Through simulated battles, he learned about the situation of humans and the Zerg's defeat before, understood the necessity of communication between the commander and Ansebo, accepted the position of commander, and trained carefully.

In the second stage, after fully familiarizing itself with the operation of the console, Qin Yi began to conduct simulation training. Everything went smoothly, but when the "realistic elements" were added, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn and the human army was defeated. In order to improve the winning rate, Qin Yi gradually began to get used to accepting aeeis' data and suggestions, and gradually became an emotional command machine.

In the third stage, Qin Yi saw the scene of the as-371-45 team he was originally in performing a mission, and finally made the same decision as his former commander. Qin Yi finally understood the behavior of the former commander in the midst of contradictions and struggles, and made many painful choices for victory.

In the fourth stage, everyone thought that Qin Yi was ready, but what he received was a more brutal slap in the face. In the deduction of the final battle, even if he was commanded completely according to Aeeis's suggestion, humans were still retreating step by step.

Qin Yi was almost in a state of collapse. He no longer believed that humans could win this war. No matter whether they deceive or not, or what kind of command method they used, they could not win the war.

In the fifth stage, Qin Yi realized that it was wrong to use Lengbingbing data to measure the value of everyone. The original command method did improve combat efficiency to a certain extent, but it was absolutely impossible to succeed in using Zerg's tactics to fight Zerg, and it was absolutely impossible to turn all soldiers into Lengbingbing machines. So Qin Yi chose to tell all the soldiers the truth, and a speech in desperate situation rekindled everyone's beliefs, and the war turned around again.

In the sixth stage, the high-intensity thinking made Qin Yi's body overwhelmed. In his coma, he felt the consciousness of the insect nest. The Zerg Queen showed him the truth of the past. It turned out that the war between humans and Zerg was initiated by humans, and the Zerg Queen's behavior in the insect nest was trying to communicate with Qin Yi, but it was not successful until now.

Qin Yi made a reconciliation on the surface, but in fact he deceived the Zerg Queen and carried out the beheading operation, directly establishing the victory.

In the seventh stage, Qin Yi, who thought the war had ended and wanted to evacuate, was betrayed. The command ship he was riding on rushed into the swarm and committed suicide. However, he did not expect that after all the secondary queens were beheaded, he, who had the consciousness of the swarm, became the new brain of the swarm.

At the end of the film, two suspense actually left behind.

The first suspense is whether the executive committee or aeeis decided to betray Qin Yi?

What aeeis said to Qin Yi pushed the pot to the Supreme Executive Committee, creating a feeling of "a cunning rabbit dies, and a lackey is cooked". However, in the meeting of the Supreme Executive Committee, aeeis said that Qin Yi took the initiative to seek death, and the members all expressed their regret.

There are obviously two possibilities: one is that Aeeis deceived his superiors and subordinates, deceived Qin Yi and the Supreme Executive Committee, and killed a human military genius without any effort, clearing the obstacles for himself to take over all the human army in the future; the other is that some people in the Supreme Executive Committee instructed Aeeis and acted hypocritically.

These two possibilities suggest two different sequels, namely the "intelligent weapon crisis" or the "civil war".

The second suspense is that Qin Yi, who was in the Leviathan monster, inherited the consciousness of the insect nest, and his body was transformed by the Zerg and turned into a special living body. He is a soldier with natural loyalty to humans, but he suffered the most shameful betrayal.

Will Qin Yi choose to lead the swarm to revenge? Or will he take another path? Can he still be called a human? How will he know himself?

These contents will obviously not be revealed until later.

...

The big scenes of the interstellar war made all the audience dizzy, and some people were even immersed in this shocking mood and even forgot about their exclamations.

From the initial defeat of humans when they encountered insect swarms, to small-scale realistic training, to the final large-scale battles in the vast starry sky and the planet’s surface...

All the war scenes in the movie are gradual and escalating. The audience follows Captain Qin Yi from weak to strong, and step by step witnessing the protracted and grand war between humans and the Zerg in the universe.

What shocked Lu Xiaoping was that although the special effects of this movie were very cool, it obviously was not just special effects.

This movie also did a great job in telling the story and motivating the audience’s emotions!

Although overall, the war scenes in the movie are constantly escalating, the emotional tone of each stage is constantly fluctuating, like a wavy line, with peaks and troughs, presenting a state of spiraling upward in fluctuations, which is completely unpredictable.

Other movies often show these contents through conflicts between characters. For example, when in trouble, members of a team with different personalities propose different solutions. The fierce debate will make the audience in front of the screen irritable. In the end, everyone agrees and overcomes difficulties, the audience will feel that their emotions are released.

This is a routine commonly used in many literary works. Although it is old-fashioned, it is easy to use and has no risks.

But in "Mission and Choice", Lu Zhiyao completely acted with the cold artificial intelligence electronic sound aeeis, and he supported the emotional tone of the movie alone!

This feeling reminded Lu Xiaoping of a one-man show movie from the past two years, which tells the story of the protagonist being buried alive in a coffin in the desert, constantly exploring the whole process, using various props around him to survive. Finally, he thought that the dawn had arrived, but only hopelessness came.

In that movie, the whole movie was a one-man show with the protagonist alone, but it brought the audience continuous suspense. The unique perspective, superb shots, and twists and turns made the movie successfully win a box office miracle that year, and achieved a box office of $20 million for a cost of $3 million, a great success.

"Mission and Choice" is similar to this movie to some extent.

The protagonists of both movies are trapped in a small space. They are fighting hard against an unknown fate, and despite repeated failures, they are still indomitable.

They all withstood the test of acting skills in a one-man show, and supported the emotional context of the entire movie with their own hands, and allowed the audience to perfectly immerse themselves in the movie.

This kind of performance is very difficult, like a big gamble, betting all the chips in the same game, once you succeed, you will make a fortune, but once you fail, it means you lose all your money.

The difference between the two is that the emotional tone is different.

The protagonist buried alive is in a coffin, extremely narrow. The despair he endured comes from the double destruction of both mental and physical. Like the protagonist, the audience has severely limited perspectives and is in a state of cramped, depressed and desperate throughout the whole process.

Although Qin Yi was in the space capsule, he could see the real situation around him through the bulkhead of the holographic image, and his vision was not restricted at all. The despair he suffered was more of a kind of spiritual destruction, and he endured the pain of human destiny alone.

Both of these performances are a serious test for acting, but Lu Zhiyao's performance seems to be more difficult.

Because most of the despair Qin Yi endured comes from spirituality, the entire set and environment cannot play a lot of role in his emotions. At this time, if you want to mobilize the player's emotions, you must completely rely on Lu Zhiyao's performance.

Fortunately, Lu Zhiyao completed the task well and dedicated his most perfect acting skills since his debut.

It even made Lu Xiaoping feel that what he saw was not Lu Zhiyao, but another person, or... Captain Qin Yi himself!

Since he finished acting in "Bright Tomorrow", Lu Zhiyao's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds as if he had cheated.

Before, many people criticized Lu Zhiyao as a "box office poison" and "excessive acting skills", but from "Bright Tomorrow" to "Mission and Choice", Lu Zhiyao's acting skills seem to be constantly improving, from being outward and becoming restrained. All of the exaggerated expressions are gone, replaced by a more delicate psychology and carefully designed micro-expression. The whole person seems to be completely integrated into the role!

In the last scene of the film, Qin Yi woke up in the hatching pool inside the Leviathan monster, his eyes suddenly opened, and the camera gave a close-up.

There seemed to be too many complicated emotions in his eyes.

In fact, at the beginning of the film, there was also such a close-up, but at that time, Qin Yi woke up from the dormant compartment, and at the end he woke up in the hatching pool inside the Leviathan monster.

The two eyes seem to have some similarities, but the background, the protagonist's appearance, subtle expressions, and especially the eyes are completely different.

The dormant compartment and hatching pool are like uteruses, and this shot obviously symbolizes Qin Yi's rebirth.

However, in these two lives, Qin Yi played the role of the human commander and the heart of the insect swarm.

Just like the beginning of the film, the expression at the end also lasted for several seconds before cutting into the next shot.

His thoughts spread rapidly in the universe, and all the larvae in the hatching pond surrounded him, becoming an extension of his consciousness.

Then, the camera quickly rose to the universe starry sky outside the Leviathan monster. The terrifying Zerg who was wandering in the universe suddenly opened his eyes and accelerated to move quickly towards the endless starry sky!

A large number of Zergs followed the Leviathan monster, like a comet dragging its long tail, disappearing deep into the screen.

The movie ended here, and a list of cast members appeared on the big screen.

The ending song starts, which is an inspiring battle song, describing the scene of a soldier about to set off on the battlefield.

Originally, this song should be very inspiring, but the scene it accompanied was the scene where human soldiers cleaned up the mess, and the Leviathan monster carried Qin Yi to finally disappear into the universe, making this song inexplicably full of inexplicable sadness.

With a "bang", the lights in the cinema lit up.

Many viewers woke up as if they were dreaming, and the praises of "dummy" and "awesome" were endless!

"Fuck, it's so awesome!"

"I really didn't expect this ending!"

"I still don't want to finish it, this ticket is worth it!"

When the premiere of "Bright Tomorrow" ended, most viewers felt unaware of it.
