Those who are familiar with Lao Si know that Lao Si has a great dream of revitalizing Chinese cinema.
Basically, the fourth elder is about 108,000 miles away from this dream.
Although it was so far away, the fourth elder still did not give up.
Obviously, you can eat by the face, but you have to rely on talent, saying that it is the fourth person like the oldest...
But today, the fourth elder wants to talk about not himself, but dreams.
Specifically, it was the dream of an old French man to make a comic book into a movie.
This old man is the well-known director Luc Besson with "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
As a child, Luc Besson, whose dreams had nothing to do with movies.
At that time, Besson wanted to become a diver and navigator.
However, due to a diving accident at the age of 17, Luc Besson adjusted his life goals and turned to being a filmmaker.
Besson, who made this decision, worked as an assistant at Gaumont Film Company before graduating from high school, and later went to Hollywood for an internship, and began to work as an assistant director after returning home.
Besson, who applied for the French National Film Academy at the age of 18, was rejected by the interviewer, saying that Besson "does not belong here.".
So Luc Besson went to Los Angeles to study filmmaking for 3 months and began shooting experimental short films.
Later, Luc Besson's debut film The Last Battle, a silent science fiction film that won a special prize at that year's Cannes Film Festival, is said to have been made by Besson at the age of 23 with 3 francs and six sus.
Because of this film, Besson was once regarded as a pioneer for young French directors.
His success proves to the world that even without professional film education, you can still make good movies.
One of his "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Douban 9.4 score, is regarded as a classic by Chinese film fans.
Later, "The Fifth Element" was called "a science fiction film that is not outdated now".
Relying on the cost of "Superbody" for $40 million, it leveraged the global box office of $400 million.
It is such a great booming Luc Besson, from the film for more than 20 years, has been dreaming of making a French comic into a movie.
After waiting for the special effects technology to mature and 7 years of preparation, Luc Besson finally managed to bring it to the big screen.
This is the "Interstellar Agent: City of a Thousand Stars", which has finally been confirmed to be introduced into China and is scheduled for August 25.
So how does Besson's dream work perform?
The foreign media commented on the film as a brilliant surprise for Luc Besson's sci-fi blockbuster.
Screen Crush also believes that it is undoubtedly Luc Besson's most imaginative film since The Fifth Element.
After watching the final trailer of "Interstellar Agent: City of a Thousand Stars", there are two intuitive feelings -
Magnificent city of a thousand stars, dazzling alien species.
The film takes place in the future, when humans discover how to travel through time.
The protagonists of the film, Weller Ryan and Lorraine, are agents of the "Time service".
They were on an interstellar mission as usual, and along the way they found that this mission was not so simple.
But this time, it's not how they perform their tasks, but where they perform them.
Wellerine and Lorraine live on a space station called Alpha, the City of a Thousand Stars.
There are 3,236 species, nearly 30 million people, speaking more than 5,000 languages, living here in harmony and prospering together.
In the final trailer, more than ten alien creatures appeared...
For the film, Luc Besson worked with the screenwriting team to create a chronicle of nearly 700 years of interstellar evolution from the 20th century to the 28th century.
They laid out a perfect set of cosmic rules for the peaceful coexistence of alien creatures, and this city of a thousand stars is where the story begins.
With such a huge cosmic science fiction concept, it is no wonder that some foreign media said that "the first 25 minutes of the film should be framed and placed in the Louvre as an exhibit."
From the age of ten, Besson fell in love with the French comic strip Weller ryan and Lorraine (Chinese the star agent").
This original comic has profoundly influenced many science fiction movies over the past half century, including Star Wars.
About 10 years ago, he bought the rights to Agents and began writing the script.
Making the comic strip "Interstellar Agents" into a movie was almost impossible in the 1990s.
It wasn't until After James Cameron's Avatar brought about technological innovations, that Luc Besson began working on Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars again.
In order to complete this dream work, Luc Besson also made a bloody payment -
The film cost $210 million (about 1.4 billion yuan) in super-high production costs, and at a length of 129 minutes, each second of the movie burned 180,000 yuan.
In order to create this grand, epic city of a thousand stars, the film produced 2734 special effects scenes, more than 3000 alien creatures, and the special effects cost 130 million US dollars.
It is not one company in charge of the film's special effects, but three top special effects companies, Industrial Light and Magic, Weta Digital and Rodeo fx, which is the first time they have joined forces in the same movie.
This also makes "Interstellar Agent: City of a Thousand Stars" a new benchmark for heavy industry commercial blockbusters.
Also because of the special effects production of this movie, the production of the sequel to Avatar was delayed by more than a year.
The reason why "Avatar" was hailed as the most awesome science fiction film in so many years was because the film built a new world view.
Remember the year "Avatar" was released, the fourth was still just a child.
The only theater that can be screened has a ticket price of up to 100 yuan, and the fourth elder has no money to watch.
After so many years, a cosmic vision that could rival the planet Pandora in Avatar finally emerged.
This is the "City of a Thousand Stars" created by Luc Besson.
And this "Interstellar Agent: City of a Thousand Stars", which was scheduled for August 25 yesterday, has become the most anticipated movie in the whole of August.
