Last week, Beijing Wanda CBD Cinema was crowded, and our micro online editorial team had the honor to participate in the Chinese premiere of the first independent film in the Transformers series, "Bumblebee"!
Around 19:35, Hall 9 welcomed four main creators, director Travis Knight, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, starring Hayley Steinfield and John Senna, who collectively appeared and greeted everyone and chatted about the creative process and feelings. At the end, everyone took a group photo together, and finally Comrade "Zhao Xina" (Senna Chinese name) gave an order, and the positive film began!
The overall rhythm of the film is coherent and compact, the story style is warm and cute, and the cute little bee and the heroine Charlie complete each other's redemption in a short encounter, while guarding the earth.
The biggest feeling of the whole film is that for the sake of dreams and justice, use love, kindness and courage to chase fearlessly! juvenile!
The character's appearance restoration pays homage to the 1984 version of the G1 animation. The applause and laughter continued throughout the film, and the audience reluctantly left at the end of the film's subtitle rolling. But today's article is not over, let's talk about the four characteristics of this movie in detail!
This little bee is really cute!
Charlie, an adolescent rebellious girl who has lost her father's love, hopes to get her first car on her eighteenth birthday, and the "indifference" of her stepfather and mother makes her cold, and by chance, in the abandoned garage of the garage, she stumbles upon an old-fashioned Beetle car...
Whether it is the beige Beet model incarnated as bumblebee, or the intimate feeling of the heroine and bumblebee, compared with the mechanical and explosive feeling of the previous game, "Bumblebee" more restores the warmth and retro of the animated version.
In the film, this little bee changed the image of the "iron-blooded lieutenant" in the previous work, and became a cute pet to become Charlie's warm heart", and many of the dialogue and body language between the two in the battle made the audience laugh.
Character tribute to the 1984 Transformers g1 anime
The character setting in this movie further restores the 1984 version of the series of animations, and also gives the feelings of the majority of fans a sustenance (there is a detailed comparison chart below).
Bumblebee is a popular Transformers character who can transform into a Volkswagen Beetle or Chevrolet Camaro sports car. It was named Bumblebee in 1984 by Marvel editor Bob Budiansky, and first appeared in the first episode of the Yuanzu comic book The Transformers in September of the same year.
Brother Pillar does not need to be repeated, the leader of the Autobots, the motto "No sacrifice, there is no victory", but this time it should be a friendship cameo.
Sonic is the Overlord Tiger Intelligence Officer, who controls the intelligence system of the Mad Faction. In the g1 animation can be transformed into a blue Sony Walkman cassette tape recorder.
During the Battle of the Stars, the robot dog also appeared, which is actually a cat that resembles a black panther. In animation, it can be transformed into a tape, and it is the right hand of the sound waves. In the spin-off animation "Super Warrior", he also made a cameo appearance in the form of a primitive beast.
This character who resembles a red spider is actually a three-change King Kong, Lightning. He is the Land and Air Commander of the Decepticons in Transformers g1, belonging to the Triple Kong, with the motto "Destroy first, then think." ”
The two Decepticon characters of Smash and Bounce Ball have been identified as triple-transformers, who are transformed into blue Plymouth satellites (flying as jets) and red amc javelins (flying as helicopters).
Detailed and realistic special effects
In terms of special effects production, "Bumblebee" is still the royal special effects company of the Transformers series of films, Industrial Light and Magic, which was created by director George Lucas in 1975 to shoot the first Star Wars film.
He pioneered the film special effects industry and has worked on Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, and many of the Marvel series' mega blockbusters.

The top-notch audiovisual experience makes people feel as if they are really in the fierce battle between bo and crazy sai star, the gripping car chase scene, the fierce hand-to-hand combat and gun battle between bumblebee and villain!
Director Knight's 80s song style
Director Knight said in a previous interview: "I was a child in the 1980s, and I really liked the inspirational movies made by Director Si, and what I wanted to bring to everyone with this film was this feeling." "The director is indeed doing what he says, and the soundtrack classics accompanying the whole film are warm and trendy, and the editor has specially found a few songs for everyone.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or a "tribute", when Charlie recommends tapes for Little Bee in the garage, Little Bee pops up the player in the classic bgm "Never Gonna Give You Up" movie released by Di Bao in seconds, and said "it's too ugly to hear"
Combined with the previous rumors that director Knight will take over the movie "Silver Guardian 3", although it was debunked, the editor listened to this full sense of golden age in the movie, and felt that the "rolling director" may be "followed by someone"!
In order to prevent spoilers, but also because of the limited space, the "Bumblebee" view of the micro online is over! Admittedly, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and when the film is released on January 4 next year, it will still depend on everyone's word of mouth and specific box office data.
