Yes, I'm talking about sports cars, not movies. Chevrolet with the golden cross on its head can cut "Change 2" into an unprecedented Camaro commercial without spending any money. The American bull Camaro and the German horse Audi R8 have been given new life by the mysterious original form from the planet Cybertron this time. If you walk out of the theater, what you see is no longer the cars rushing in the blurry lights in the middle of the night, but the weird Transformers, and even the bulldozers working at night on the side of the road can do it. Crackling turned into a ground-digging tiger digging three feet. OK, Chevrolet MS's promotion strategy this time will definitely make a lot of money.
Closer to home, let's talk about this audiovisual blockbuster that relies heavily on computer special effects.
Although the pre-sale of tickets for the second episode was exhausted, I was lucky enough to see the premiere with reporter Pei. The scene was really embarrassing, and it is estimated that no one can match the "gold-absorbing" ability of this year's movie theaters. Although it was midnight, the enthusiasm of the crazy "wires" was not inferior to this hot weather. Maybe everyone has an eight-year-old child in his heart, and Transformers is the key to release him. In the metal aura for nearly two and a half hours, everyone happily relived the childhood complex of playing with Transformers while wiping their noses.
Sure enough, the dazzling and shocking fighting scenes and special effects in "Change 2" are unforgettable. It is really worthwhile for Michael Bay to smash money into the movie. It is said that in order to make up for the regret of the first episode of the small test, the US Department of Defense loaned the White Sands Missile Test Field in New Mexico to film the final battle. The military resources directly used include 2 A-10 fighters and 6 F-16s. Fighter aircraft, 10 armored Hummer military vehicles, "Golden Knight" military parachuting team, 2 M1A2 tanks. The Pentagon also generously loaned soldiers who had just returned from Iraq and Afghanistan to directors as extras. Not to mention the ideological communication behind this move, the shocking effect of such a massive production that mobilizes everyone to make you feel really cool. From Shanghai to the Pyramids of Egypt, earth-shattering explosions, firepower attacks, heart-piercing screams, special effects at any cost, and dizzying action scenes, 42 "New King Kong" debuts... if you don’t know what these King Kong fighters are. In the past and present, if you are not interested in all kinds of Autobots, if you don't pay attention, you will be surrounded by this dazzling "group car melee show".
Undoubtedly, as far as the film industry is concerned, "Change 2" produced by the "Industrial Light & Magic" team perfectly proves to movie fans the modeling power of special effects technology and an extremely cool new aesthetic. The robots created with computer special effects and those incredible and breathtaking live special effects have become the absolute protagonists of the movie without any suspense. Compared with the eye-catching King Kong fighters, whether it is Shia·LaBeouf with a sky-high salary of $5 million, or Hollywood sexy goddess Teresa·Palmer, or even a cameo appearance of his own black president Obama, the role of a human star in this show But it's just an inconspicuous foil. The whole process of disintegration and reconstruction of the body parts of a large number of group battle scenes with medium shots and close-up shots is real, dynamic, subtle and precise. The mellow integration of live action, real scene, CGI synthesis, and green screen technology has made you forget to distinguish the difference between special effects and real shots. From this level, "Change 2" will be an epoch-making milestone in film special effects technology, setting a new standard and mode for the synthesis of multiple special effects technology.
However, for some fans, the failure of "Change 2" is not much more subtle than its audiovisual shock. If you are a plot control or original control, I advise you not to blindly follow the bombardment of the film by the major media and entertainment editions. Because in the 157-minute film that has broken the original sequence of time and space, you can see almost endless scenes of robot wars. The plot seems to have always been a climax from beginning to end. Each segment is naturally sparkling and exciting, but there are too many good scenes, which seem to be aesthetically tired, enough to make those who do not like to watch the special effects of the scene accidentally fall asleep. The shaping and innovation of American-style heroic roles is also unsatisfactory and superficial. In particular, Optimus Prime hastily ended after repeated lore, so that the "Degenerate King Kong", a villain who bears historical charges, died scribbled and not powerful enough. The traces of a few shots are very obvious. The perfect makeup of the big beauty Teresa Palmer makes the film look a little fake, and the supporting actors who have nothing to do with the plot are more like the promotion specialists before the launch of Camaro. .
It is said that after the release of "Transformers" in 2007, three Transformers fans in Nanjing immediately took action. Using the Bumblebee and Jazz as prototypes, they modified their own Transformers X2 with Citroen C2. And subsequent Transformers dolls, digital products, car accessories and even household items have also sprung up in various markets. The dust of the war between the Bo and Kuang factions has not yet settled. Two years later, they have come back to fiddle with the old things and staged this metal autobot war in a magnificent manner. It is not difficult to imagine that soon, the scene of bumblebees all over the city must be the most disseminating and influential live-action free AD before "Change 3". However, the third part of such a long epic series is often hard to escape. We really couldn't help but sweat for the director.
After the premiere night on the 23rd, a group of people stood in the sultry summer evening breeze and couldn't get a taxi. They had no choice but to look up at the "Bumblebees" shuttled back and forth on the viaduct, continuing in the real world shrouded in hallucinations. Excited.
