In March, what Da Cong is looking forward to most is not "Black Panther", "Tomb Raider", not "Pacific Rim 2," but Spielberg's "Number One Player".
"Ready Player One" has best-selling science fiction novels as the cornerstone of the story, ARG (Alrernate Reality Game) sci-fi genre, countless egg mysteries, and quality assurance of famous directors. These labels are all elements of Da Cong's expectations.
"Top Player" is adapted from the American Ernst Klein's novel "Player One". When Dah Cong was reading the novel, he felt that the setting of "Oasis" was the setting of the game he dreamed of playing since he was a child. If someday technology can reach the level of an oasis, it will really be possible to stay home for a lifetime.
The background of "Top Player" takes place in 2040. Environmental pollution, wars, and productivity fatigue have caused the future real world to be messy and messy.
But at that time, there was a game called "Oasis", which almost brought people from all over the world into a virtual world. There are thousands of planets and countless cities in the game.
Nowadays, people can play any game role in the "Oasis", shuttle between the planets and cities of the "Oasis", team up to fight missions, or be a free agent to travel in the game, whatever you choose.
In the oasis world, the game has its own rules and regulations, and the settings are very similar to the mainstream games we play now.
Although players can choose their favorite game characters, no matter how powerful you choose at the beginning, these characters are still ranked according to their ranks.
For example, if you choose Superman or Wizard, the level will be beginner at the beginning. Only if you continue to participate in the missions of the Oasis game can you unlock the hero skills of the character.
And in the oasis, there are regional zoning control. For example, in the science and technology area, magic skills similar to the magician will not be available. Conversely, if you are a scientist and go to the magic area, the high-tech weapons you invent will not work.
Of course, there are many other areas in the oasis, such as free zone, common zone, peace zone and so on.
Luthers Planet in the Heping Zone in the novel has also set up a school . All teachers and students in the school cannot appear in the school in a non-human form, but must be human. Therefore, the education field in the Heping Zone should be similar to reality. The virtual world of order.
There is a scene in the trailer, which is very similar to the description of the school in the novel. The students in it are all human, of course, it may also be a scene of real students in class.
Therefore, the story setting of the movie should be similar to that of the novel. James Halliday, the founder of Oasis Games, left his last words before his death and created a thousands of pages of "Anorak Almanac" (Annorak Almanac).
This yearbook tells players that as long as they find three keys in the oasis, they are bronze, jade, and crystal keys, they can open the three doors and finally get a 440 billion legacy. The most important thing is that they can also have the control of the oasis game. right.
As the saying goes, there is no killing if there is no sale. This will of Halliday in 2040 will make all players in the Oasis eager to try. These players who are looking for key eggs have a proper term called "gunter" (egg hunter).
There is even an enterprise organization called "IOI", which hired a large group of "Navy Army" to snatch the legendary three keys in order to solve the puzzle of the oasis and obtain the ultimate control. In the racing game in the trailer, most of the participants are IOI players.
These professional IOI egg hunters are called Sixer . They have uniform clothes and obey command orders. For the time being, I don't know what the domestic translation is called. Some people call them " Sixers" , and some call them "Men in black".
In the novel, the search for the three keys lasted for 5 years, but in the vast game universe of the oasis, the three keys in the vast game universe do not know which planet, which city and which game level they are in without clues.
As a result, many players gradually lost their interest and motivation to find keys. Until 2045, a person named Wade Woz accidentally found a copper key, which rekindled hope for the legend of the key.
This also made Wade famous overnight and became an oasis game celebrity, but at the same time he was also targeted by the IOI organization.
In the film, Wade is also the protagonist, but it seems that the process of Wade's search for the first copper key has been adapted, because the novel is based on arcade games in the 1980s and 1990s and found the first key.
In order to increase the excitement of the movie, the film is changed to a racing game. It seems that the key can be found through the fierce racing game task, but there is no description of the car in the novel.
In the trailer, there is a picture of a black-robed warrior giving Wade a copper key. This wizard is the incarnation of Halliday, Annarik. This also shows that after Halliday’s death, he still uses virtual AI in the game. The role exists.
The movie plot of "Top Player" should start with Wade getting the first key. IOI is naturally the villain, and the free player headed by Wade becomes the righteous party.
Because "Top Player" has a large number of game characters, many netizens dug out hundreds of character eggs in the trailer. The easter eggs of "Avengers 3" and "Number One Player" are simply insignificant.
Interested friends, you can see the introduction of other characters' easter eggs, Dah Cong will not give examples one by one here, because these so-called role easter eggs actually have no role in promoting the film, and all the 10,000 characters listed are not enough.
Dah Cong only talks about the deep-water easter eggs that played a decisive role in the film.
In the novel, in addition to Halliday who is the founder of Oasis, there is also a man named Moro who is also one of the founders. He takes Merlin as the incarnation in Oasis. He and Halliday are both gods in Oasis. , You can kill other players instantly.
However, in the movie, Morrow’s avatar in the oasis is a robot butler, and the trailer has a scene similar to a party, which is Morrow’s birthday party.
After that, there is a scene where the machine butler gave Wade a coin, which in the novel can bring the player character back to life. I believe that in the movie, the role of this coin is equally important.
In addition, in the racing scene in the trailer, there was a QR code in the short frames of the screen. Now you can scan it directly to the official website of "Ready Player One", but last year, the official website that jumped to after scanning the QR code, A password is required to enter.
In another trailer of the film, there is also a QR code at the bottom left of the poster of the founder of Khalidi. After the mobile phone scans, a report will appear. This report is about the personal biography of the founder of Oasis Khalidi.
But these are not the key points. The key point is the number of 010100101 in the row on the left of Halliday’s photo. Dah Cong adjusts the contrast so that everyone can see clearly.
This number is binary, and binary is only represented by 0 and 1. In computer equipment, binary can represent everything.
The binary of this report photo, translated using professional ASCII, can be spelled into two English words: "Gunters say" (the egg hunter said). Obviously this sentence is incomplete.
Later, the official released a report about Halliday. The easter egg of this report is also a string of binary in the photo, which translates as "Never die!"
Combining these two official binary codewords can become: Gunters never say die! (The egg hunter never say die)
This sentence happens to be the official password entered some time ago. Of course, you can enter the official website without this password.
On the official website, there is also a key video about the evolution of a golden egg from 2D to simulated 3D, which also indicates that there will be many game egg mysteries in the film.
However, sharp-eyed viewers will definitely see the occasional frames in the video, with some English words appearing, which are linked together: "What is the quest" .
There is no official explanation for this sentence, but Dah Cong thinks that a golden egg hidden so deeply will definitely play a big role in the feature film.
Having said so much, what Da Cong wants to express is that this is the deep-water egg in the trailer of "Ready Player One". The film directly interacts with fans and plays the ARG puzzle mode. Such a trailer is also enough. The ultimate.
In addition, Dah Cong saw a foreign media report that the screenwriter of "Number One Player" might accidentally reveal the plot of the movie, and leaked the second mission of the Three Keys. The style of the second mission is the thriller plot, and this The plot is related to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining".
It is said that many important clues in the second mission came from this thriller movie that originated more than 30 years ago, including the room number 237 in "The Shining" , the spurting hallway, and ghost twins.
There is also the protagonist repeats in the novel: "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy" (all work and no play make Jack a dull boy) .
These classic sections of "The Shining" are likely to be the eggs that find the key to "Top Player".
For this reason, Dah Cong was also curious to find the movie distributor of "The Shining" , which is Warner Bros. Pictures like "Ready Player One" , which also shows that the film company can implant "The Shining" into "Ready Player One". .
Regardless of whether this report is true or not, the movie will be released in less than a week, so do n't hesitate, hurry up and move "The Shining" out to make up lessons! This is the most heavyweight egg!
Pay attention to the public account of "Da Cong Watching Movies", do not pursue running volume, only polish fine products.
