If movies are the colorful dreams of human beings, then science fiction monster movies must be the most mysterious purple. Since the 30s of last century, monster movies have been a little rudimentary, with the development of science and technology, science fiction monster movies, both in the picture effect and theoretical system have been to a higher level has made a great breakthrough, "King Kong", "Godzilla", "Han River Monster", "Jaws" and other science fiction adventure monster blockbusters, not only to meet the deep adventure attributes of human nature, but also to arouse people's curiosity to explore unknown and mysterious things! Monster movies are essentially the crystallization of science fiction science and fantasy, which is often accompanied by the imagination of the unknown, the pursuit of the strange landscapes that the human world may have!
Monster adventure movies are not only internationally renowned, but also highly sought after in China, from the Youku platform 2020 online movie annual box office list TOP20 film list, we can spy one or two:
We can see that monster and adventure movies occupy half of the box office list, which also shows that the current Chinese film market has a sufficient mass base for monster movies, and the technical talents for special effects also have sufficient reserves and trustworthy professional levels. What we need is a talent who can localize and innovate monster movies in China, as well as high capital investment. In this way, you can create a landmark monster movie like "The Wandering Earth" in Chinese science fiction!
Recently, by the Europa-United Pictures, Beijing Aiyouteng Pictures, Tianjuyuan Pictures, Ink Star Yihe VFX joint production of science fiction monster adventure giant production - "Misty Route" has entered the intensive preparations for filming, it is reported that Ai-Europa Pictures is currently in close negotiations with Zhejiang Bocai Media Co., Ltd., will use the world's top virtual shooting technology, with LEDs instead of traditional green screens, this technology is to let the 270 ° circular LED screen directly display virtual scenes, The led giant screen of the whole surface reaches 99.8% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, 200 million pixels, 8K accuracy, as far as possible to restore the realistic effect of real scene shooting, the visual effect is breathtaking!
According to relevant personnel, most of the main creative team of "Misty Route" has been determined, which will be directed by Yan Jia, a new generation of Chinese directors, chen Xiaoshuai, chief producer, Wang Tan and Zhao Yutong, young screenwriters after 90, and Wu Wei, producers. The entire creative team is biased towards youth, but the seniority and talent output in the film and television field are quite rich. Let's take a look at the director of the film - Yan Jia!
For Yan Jia, you may not know, but Xiaobian believes that the fantasy action comedy "Detective Pu Songling" starring Jackie Chan has heard of it to some extent, and Yan Jia is the director of the film. As a post-85 generation of Chinese directors, he has served as an actor, screenwriter and part-time. He has participated in the filming of "Mission Impossible 3", "The Mummy 3", and the visual effects work of the sci-fi blockbuster "Batman: Red Shadow Trail". His directing works include "Detective Pu Songling", "3D Man-Eating Insects", "Invasion of Brain Nerves" and so on. We believe that under the direction of director Yan Jia, "Misty Route" will be able to add wings to the tiger and present us with an unparalleled visual experience!
In addition to the huge impact that science fiction monster movies can bring to our vision, their ideological core is more worthy of our deep thinking. Chen Xiaoshuai, chief producer of "The Misty Route", said in the script seminar: "Under the appearance of thrilling and exciting science fiction monster movies, what should be expressed is that people are accompanied by the rapid progress of science and technology, while enjoying scientific and technological achievements, human beings reflect on the negative consequences brought about by the rapid development of science and technology. ”
Looking at the global science fiction monster movies, we can find that from "King Kong" that shows the relationship between man and nature to "The Invisible Man" that explores the impact of science on human society, to "Godzilla", "Jurassic Park" and "Han River Monster" that show the classical monsters destroying the human world, science fiction monster movies have undergone a long development process, but their purpose has always revolved around the development of human beings.
This sci-fi monster adventure blockbuster "Misty Route" will "dive" into the deep sea, refresh your understanding of the deep sea, reconstruct the imagination of the deep sea monster, and awaken the deep-sea fear of human instinct! The film tells the story of the explorer Ding Hao, who is threatened by the owner of the biotechnology company Li Haichao, goes to the deep sea of the mysterious sea to search for treasures, encounters the attack of mysterious prehistoric marine creatures, and in the mysterious and mysterious deep sea, the explorer Ding Hao competes with the deep-sea monsters and nature... It not only has temperature, laughter, and a lot of action scenes. The protagonist "dived" into the mysterious deep sea and launched a face-to-face fierce battle with the deep-sea giant beast, which is not only a contest between the protagonist and the giant beast, but also a contest between people and people, people and people's hearts, and people and nature, which leads people to reflect!
It is reported that "Misty Route" is expected to start at the end of May this year, I believe that with the blessing of many professionals and professional technologies, the visual effects of the film will definitely burn to the explosion, let us look forward to it together!
