This article was first published on the WeChat public account of the behind-the-scenes story of the movie (WeChat "saymovie").
The movie that satisfies me the most in the first half of this year is undoubtedly "Number One Player" .
Film history classics, cult masterpieces, arcade games, nostalgic American dramas, old songs and golden tunes, and the two-dimensional culture of the United States and Japan are exhausted. One easter egg every second makes me want to die .
I found 119 easter eggs just by swiping ...
In order to cater for different moviegoers, I divided these 119 easter eggs into three parts: movies, animations, and games , and everyone can take what they need.
High energy ahead: Don't want to be spoiled and quickly cover your eyes.
01
Movie easter egg
"Star Trek"
1. At the funeral of the founder of "Oasis" Halliday, all the funeral items were made into the shape of the "Star Trek" logo and the Enterprise , and there was even a Klingon machete.
John Hughes Movies
If you often watch American campus youth films, you must be familiar with the name John Hughes .
"Home Alone", "Breakfast Club", and "Spring Is Not a Reading Day" are all written by the legendary director.
Last year's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" paid tribute to Hughes's "Spring Is Not Reading Day".
"Stranger Things" is full of Hughes fan.
"Number One Player", which has exhausted popular culture all at once, naturally pays tribute to him.
2. For example, the windbreaker boy in the game lobby is the rebellious boy in "Breakfast Club" -John Bender .
3. When the protagonist Parsifal confronted the villain Nolan Sorrento, the former also used the stalk in the Hughes movie to test whether the latter was a real dead house .
"Weekend Night Fever"
4. The "floating dance floor" of the nightclub refers to the dance floor in the disco music movie-"Saturday Night Fever".
The male and female protagonists sway with Bee Gees' classic dance music-"Stayin' Alive" in the film.
5. And this song is the theme song of "Saturday Night Fever".
The Shining
In the second level of the film, the protagonist and his party came to the mountaintop hotel in "The Shining".
6. The haunted room 237.
7. "Just work and not play, smart Jack will become stupid".
8. The female zombie in the bathtub.
9. Weird twins.
10. Flood the sea of blood in the corridor.
11. A maze of winding twists and turns.
12. The black and white group photos of the hotel staff have all been restored and become game elements.
"back to the Future"
Since we want to pay tribute to popular culture, how can we forget the trilogy of "Back to the Future" by Robert Zemikis .
13. The DMC "Dronin Flying Car" in "Back to the Future" is Parsifal's exclusive car in the feature film.
14. Artemis jokingly called Parsifal "Mike Frye". That is, the male protagonist of "Back to the Future".
15. In addition, the protagonist in the film uses a prop called "Zemikis' Cube", which can turn time back one minute.
Do you see the "cube"? It should be bought in this item mall.
There is no such prop in the "Back to the Future" trilogy. The name is just a tribute to the elements of time and space travel in the back to the future.
16. This "Batmobile" is from the 66th version of the "Batman" TV series . If you look closely, you can still see the master and Robin.
17. There is also Max's car in "Mad Max"- "V8 Interceptor" .
18. The GMC van in the classic action American drama "Dragon Agents" .
19. Miss Laura drove the murderous sports car in "Christine Charm" -Plymouth "The Nemesis" .
This film is directed by the B-level film master-John Carpenter.
20. The classic cars in the 75-year-old action American drama-"The Two Heroes of the Police" are also racing on the field together .
21. Aiqi's car is the "Big Foot" monster truck, the ancestor of the monster truck.
22. Although there is a Tyrannosaurus rex in the movie, this Tyrannosaurus does not necessarily come out of "Jurassic Park" .
In fact, a careful audience will find that there is no obvious Spielberg movie egg in this film. This is because Lao Si does not want the limelight of his personal films to overwhelm other films.
23. Also in the bridge section where Tyrannosaurus Rex chases Aiqi, the display board outside the cinema shows that Lord Governor’s "Phantom Hero" is being screened .
Although the film is not very popular at the box office, it has become a Cult classic in the hearts of movie fans.
24. Gandalf swayed in the air.
25. This "fancy jet fighter champion" needn't be introduced too much.
26. In the archives, among the group of people who wanted to take a photo with Parsifal, the "Master of the Underworld" appeared .
27. In the game lobby, the 87 version of Robocop looking around .
28. There is also a slogan for "Detroit City" in the movie.
29. The costume that Parsifal wore when he went to the appointment was from the unknown Cult movie "Natural Eros" . Still starred by "Robocop" Peter Willer.
30&31. During the trial period, Parsifal also tried the costume of Prince in "Purple Rain" and the red jacket of MJ's "Shiver" .
32. The Legion of the Living Dead in "Ghost 3" .
33. In the last battle, "Ghost Baby Chaji" appeared, from the B-level film "Ghost Baby Resurrection" series.
The series is about a murderer who sojourns his soul in the body of a doll and continues to do harm to the world.
Can I say that the appearance of the ghost baby in just a few seconds is better than his 7 movies combined?
34. What Zhang Ya Wu Claw rushed to Ai Qi was Freddy, who was "killing in a dream", from the series of B-level film "Most Ghost Street" .
35. The incarnation of the villain has become "Mechanical Godzilla" . Judging from his long neck, it should be from the Heisei series in 1993.
36. The Cyclops from "Sinbad's Sailing Series" also appeared in the final battle .
37. The grenade used by Parsifal in the final battle is from the "sacred grenade" in the nonsensical film "Moncler and the Holy Grail ".
38. There is also a small easter egg here. On the back door of Aiqi, there is a sticker of Mérieux's "Travel to the Moon" .
You know, "Travel to the Moon" is a milestone in movie magic.
39. At the end of "Number One Player", Lao Si used a sentence: "So you are the rose bud ." Point the question.
It not only expresses the reminiscence of the past, but also expresses the tribute to "Citizen Kane" .
02
Anime egg
40. "Steel Giant"
In the original novel of "Ready Player One", Ultraman is the key character throughout.
But because he couldn't get the copyright of Ultraman, Old Si finally chose the "steel giant", a well-known virtual character in the United States.
"Steel Giant" comes from the animation of the same name in 1999, and is the famous work of Hollywood animation master-Brad Bird . It tells the city adventure of a boy and the iron giant.
41. When the steel giant was about to be submerged by magma, he also raised his thumb, obviously paying tribute to "Terminator 2" .
42. The red motorcycle of Artemis comes from Otomo's animation masterpiece- the same motorcycle in "Akila" .
DC Comics Hero
Warner acquired DC Comics as early as 1969, and I am sorry for the money spent without showing a wave of copyright.
However, most of the DC characters appearing in this film are game characters from the "Injustice" and "Arkham" series .
43. For example, the clown girl is the look in "Arkham Knight", and the clown on the side is the look in "Injustice 2".
44. The eldest son of the master-"Nightwing" is also a look in "Arkham Knight".
45. The Death Shooter used the look in "Injustice 2".
46. Outside the gate of the archives, the Arkham Knight (the second son of the master-Jason Todd) and the actor Parsifal walked opposite each other.
47. The death knell of "Arkham Origins" and the Harley Quinn of "Arkham Knight" appeared in the nightclub scene.
48. Master Bat climbs Mount Everest, this should be a tribute to the climbing bridge in the 66 version of the "Batman" TV series .
49. Of course, there are also Superman terriers that can't be recognized by a mother who wears glasses.
50. Gundam
There are many high-energy moments in "Ready Player One", but the most igniting is the stage where Dadong's incarnation original ancestor Gundam RX-78-2 , and the mechanical Godzilla fight to the death.
51. The crawling mecha that appeared on the battlefield should be the robot lion in King Kong .
52. In the final battle, the leading hero of the Image comics, the Reborn Man , appeared in the team that was in charge .
53-55. The three little guys, from left to right, are " Kirobi the Big Eye Frog", Hello Kitty , and "Cool Penguin" , the mascot of the 2006 World Championships in Japan .
56. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles work together in the final battle.
57. Still in the track lens, the protagonist car in the 67-year-old classic anime "Mach 5" -"Mach 5" appeared .

"Mortal Kombat"
A veteran fighting game that spawned a game review agency because it was too bloody, has reached its tenth generation.
59. The four-handed giant that Artemis pretends is Goro in "Mortal Kombat" .
60. The shot of Goro being pierced by the alien afterwards is a tribute to the alien's finishing skills .
Yes, Alien is also a playable character in Mortal Kombat.
61. Casey Cage from "Mortal Kombat X" also appeared in the film.
62. The design of the egg altar refers to the leading logo of "Mortal Kombat".
63. Dadong, who is holding a big move, the badge on the collar is also the logo of "Mortal Kombat".
PS: Minors should not search for this game!
64. "Halo"
XBOX's leading work, an immortal sci-fi epic series.
Naturally, the soul of this series is indispensable in the movie-the master master who never takes off his helmet .
"Halo 1" is one of my game enlightenments, and the figure must be bought.
65. There is also the prop store of "Halo".
66. In addition, the weapon that Aiqi used when he appeared on the stage was the "Ancestral Rifle" of the "Halo" series-the "MA5" series of rifles .
67. The bazooka from "Halo" also appeared in the film.
"war machine"
68. In the final battle, Artemis conjured up a chain saw gun , the ace weapon in the Gears of War series . But the sound of the chainsaw was blown up as soon as it sounded.
I have both the puppet and the chainsaw gun.
69. On the track, I talked to Laura about Ditch Walling in Gears of War 2 , and he was an old driver in the game.
"Mass Effect"
70. Shepard, the commander in the trilogy of the science fiction masterpiece "Mass Effect" , appeared in the nightclub.
71. The female version of Shepard is here, yes, this is a game that can be transgendered.
"Born for War"
An unexpected crash, "Overwatch", turned out to be a dead game of ghost clothes. However, there are still a lot of heroes of the game in the movie.

73. Toby can only be recognized by a shoulder gun.
74. There is also Ambra.
75. Attikus.

86. The pure men who are full of grotesque talk- "The Duke of Destruction" is here.
Express: WWE superstar John Cena confirmed to appear in the live-action film "Duke of Destruction".
87. Regardless of the neckline, I really didn't recognize her as "Vampire Lane" .
88. In the "Borderland" prop store, do you see the little noise ?
Because I like this game so much, I also made a little noise myself (the trash can is changed).
In addition, many people said that the shotgun Parsifal took was from "Mad Max."
But Max’s shotgun actually didn’t have a scope.
89. This gun is more like something produced by the Jacobs family in Borderlands.
"Starcraft"

92. There is also the classic board game " Dungeon and Dragon" that every geek has played .
93. Taking the lead is the "Ninja Frog" on the red and white machine. Compared with the current game, the old game is really difficult to play.
94. Riding an ostrich This is from the 1982 arcade game "Ostrich Rider" , one of Atari's classic games.
95. In the game, after defeating the enemy, they will leave an ostrich egg for extra points.
This setting also appeared in the movie, the details are great!
96. This slightly obtrusive F1 car comes from Atari's 1982 game "Top Racer" .
97. What blows up the mechanical Godzilla is the "Crazy Ball" toy that was once popular in the 1980s . It seems that it should be "Dust Brian".
98. The first game easter egg in history
The third key in the movie is hidden in the Atari game-"Adventure", which is the first video game with easter eggs in history .
The source of this easter egg goes back to the 1980s. At that time, Atari implemented a high-pressure policy, and many employees dared not say anything.
Later, an employee named Warren Binnet couldn't bear it anymore. He left a piece of "mysterious code" when developing this game.
Once triggered, the words "Warren Bennett's Masterpiece" will appear in the middle of the screen to blind your eyes.
This is the first easter egg in the history of the game .
In the end, the egg was discovered by a teenager, but when Atari wanted to pursue it, Warren Binnet had resigned long ago.
Later, the "ET Alien Incident" well-known to players occurred-the "ET Alien" game produced by Atari died in a huge sales volume, which became the last straw to crush the game empire.
99. In the movie, Atari games and Atari logos can be seen everywhere.
"Top Player" is also using its own way to pay tribute to this former gaming empire .
Movies mentioned: "The Open American School", "Animal House", "Love to the Depth", "Change the Fly", "Battlestar Karadiga", "The Quiet of the Universe".
"Dune", "The Adventures of Bill and Ted", "Forbidden Planet", Bolton's version of "Batman", "Scarface", "Full Metal Shell" and many more...
Mentioned games: "Centipede", "Pitfall", "Sword Hunting", "Motorcross", "Mario Kart", "007: Golden Eye", "Asteroids", "Little Bee".
Counting these mentioned eggs, there are a total of 119 eggs ! (If you want to find the whole, there are at least more than 200.)
Others said that they saw Lord Kui and Captain Drake, and they would look for them when I was the second brush.
Don't look at so many easter eggs, but "Ready Player One" is not Lao Si's self-confidence work .
The film uses the dramatic setting of looking for "McGoffin" to make the character's motivation and main story line very clear.
At the same time, the film is also full of innocence in the Spielberg format. It is a commercial masterpiece with a mature operation and a fairly high degree of completion.
It is said that Ernst Klein, the original author of "Top Player", is already writing his second novel.
Disney and Nintendo, don’t you come to play together?
