Seeing his companion's neurotic appearance, the other minion raised his head impatiently and looked around, saying, "What's the matter..."
Halfway through the speech, the voice seemed to be stuck.
Seeing the companion's appearance, the other person also looked up, and there seemed to be a figure standing on the tower crane more than ten meters high not far away.It's hard to believe that someone would appear in such a dangerous place in the middle of the night, and I said in an unbelievable tone, "What is that?"
The voice fell, and the camera switched.
In the panoramic shot, on the top of the tall tower crane, a figure wearing a black cloak and a mask with pointed ears stands in the night shrouded in moonlight and lights.
The soundtrack with a battle-like drumbeat sounded, and the figure realized that he had been spotted, leaned slightly to gain momentum, and jumped directly from the tower crane more than ten meters high.
In the screening hall, some unprepared audience could not help but let out an exclamation.
Even knowing that this is Batman, jumping from such a high place is too exciting, can people still live?
As soon as this thought flashed through, the cloak behind the figure unfolded in an uproar, showing the state of a huge bat, but the momentum of the descent did not slow down too much, and it reached the ground in a blink of an eye, taking advantage of the momentum of the fall to strike the ground neatly. Two dumbfounded minions fell down.
While the audience was still admiring the thrilling shot of falling from a high altitude in one go, the figure didn't stop, and quickly climbed to the top of the container with a pedal relay, rushing towards the busy crowd like a ghost.
then.
The trail follows a certain clearly planned route, clearing out the outer sentries like an assassin, and gradually attacking the core, accompanied by the increasingly tense soundtrack and the chaotic crowd after being discovered, with crisp and sharp blows, and the figure erratically traverses , a ghostly deception, a gun that was torn apart, and a figure leaping out.
Gunshots, human voices, fists and feet, the explosion of grenades.
The battle lasted for more than four minutes.
All in one go.
Hearty.
In a blink of an eye, the entire pier was in a mess.
When a small boss was knocked down without any suspense in the 1V1 battle, he fumbled to pick up a pistol and struggled to get up, pointing at the opposite figure with a grim face and said: "What the hell are you, what are you?"
Facing the gun, the figure finally said in a low voice with a hoarse voice: "Batman."
After saying this, a cold light flew over, accurately shot down the pistol in the hand of the little boss, and nailed it to the iron sheet of the container not far away with a bang.
The camera zooms in and freezes on the dark batarang.
The picture gradually zooms in, twists, the music style shifts, the title 'Batman' appears on the big screen and the title credits begin.
Inside the theater.
After just 5 minutes of opening wedge, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cool."
A voice even overwhelmed the sound of the opening music in the auditorium, and sounded a little abruptly.
However, no one in the auditorium had much distaste for the sound, because everyone felt that way at this moment.
so cool!
When Batman appeared on the stage, the high-altitude jumping off the scene in one go has already made many people feel a sense of surprise, but this one shot gave the audience an image of Batman that should be what they imagined.
The subsequent well-designed fighting scenes subverted the definition of Hollywood action movies in the minds of many viewers.
It turns out that fighting can be so full of crisp power.
It turns out that the action of grabbing the gun and dismantling it can be so handsome.
It turns out that you can deal with grenades like this.
It turns out that one-to-many destruction can be taken for granted.
This is Batman.
It seems, shouldn't these extremely cool action shots be placed at the climax of the end credits?
Now that it's all in the plot wedge, so, what's next.
Thinking of this, the expectations of most of the audience in the screening hall have been raised to another level.
Inside look at the doorway.
Compared with ordinary movie fans, many famous filmmakers at the scene saw a series of unprecedented innovative film techniques in just a few minutes.
Some people can't even suppress the curiosity and excitement in their hearts. You know, just the shot of Batman jumping off the tower crane has made many filmmakers wonder how this shot was shot.The action design in the wedge makes Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner and other big names involved in action movies even more itchy.
What if your own movie can also have such a level of action design?
Speaking of which, the reaction of these people is not surprising at all.
During the months-long preparation of the film, Simon intercepted the essence of many classic Hollywood action movies in his memory as a reference. These action designs are better than the 90s "Matrix", "Rush Hour" and so on, which triggered a revolution in Hollywood action movies. The action design in the classic film of "The Movie" is even more mature, which is equivalent to directly raising the level of Hollywood action movies from the 80s to more than 20 years later, which will naturally give everyone a feeling of surprise.
Moreover, there are many innovative technologies utilized in this short wedge.
Among them, the shot of Batman leaping down from a high altitude is completely a CG scene. Simon also thought about trying live-action shooting, but finally gave up because the risk factor was too high. Instead, he gave this shot to Dan. The special effects team of Nellis is in charge.
After more than a year of technical research by the Daenerys special effects team, a large number of data calculations and detail improvements for simulating physical scenes, coupled with the cover of the night scene, achieved the effect that satisfies Simon.
Chapter 317: Thirty minutes in the beginning (2) (Revised)
After the official opening credits, the picture on the big screen is already early in the morning.
In the quaint and luxurious mansion, the butler Alfred Pennyworth, played by Anthony Hopkins, pushed the door with a plate and entered a bedroom. The TV was playing in the room, and he sat shirtless Bruce Wayne at the head of the bed was treating the wound on his shoulder.
After saying good morning, Ah Fu put the dinner plate on the table with a worried expression, sighed and stepped forward to help Wayne deal with the wound.
The camera turns to the TV.
In the noisy scene, a group of media reporters surrounded Gotham Police Chief James Gordon played by Tommy Lee Jones, asking about what happened at the city dock last night.
"Mr. Chief, is it true that a Batman attacked more than twenty gangsters?"
"It is said that the gang leader Sal Maroney is involved in this arms smuggling case. Is this true?"
"Director Gordon, I'm Vicki Val, a reporter from the "Gotham Times". It is rumored that this is not the first time Batman has made an attack. How would you define this behavior?"
"..."
"..."
Originally, James Gordon just squeezed through the crowd of reporters and walked silently. He finally stopped when he heard Vicki Val's question, and said to the surrounding reporters: "I have nothing to say about the details of this case, but I am Does not approve of any private law enforcement action, which is very dangerous and equally a crime."
With Director Gordon's answer, the scene became noisier.
Ah Fu withdrew his gaze and continued to help Wayne treat the wound, while whispering: "Look, they don't approve of your behavior."
Bruce Wayne was silent for a moment, with a little more sadness in his eyes, but he still said firmly: "Ah Fu, I don't need these."
"Okay," Ah Fu helped Wayne treat the wound, took out an invitation card from his suit pocket and handed it to Wayne, saying, "Maybe you need this."
Bruce Wayne took it over and took a look. It was an invitation letter for a shareholder meeting of JANUS Group, and it was signed by the Chairman and CEO of JANUS Group, Roman Sionis.
Ah Fu brought the dinner plate over and said while laying out the tableware: "Roman Sionis, remember? You and him used to be classmates. The Sionis couple died in an accidental fire a few years ago, and Roman inherited JANUS Group."
Bruce Wayne was still looking at the invitation letter in his hand, and suddenly said: "There seems to be something wrong with that fire."
Ah Fu just shook his head lightly: "Maybe, the police didn't find anything."
Bruce Wayne threw the invitation aside and said, "Ah Fu, I'm not interested in these."
A Fu picked up the invitation letter and put it in Wayne's hand, and said, "Master, you must be interested. Or, you want everyone to notice that the male master of Wayne's family returned to Gotham City after traveling for many years, and has lived in seclusion since then. , and then there is an extra Batman in the city who fights criminals everywhere."
Bruce Wayne retreated, looked at the butler and said, "But, Ah Fu, what should I do on this occasion?"
"Communicate, meet a young girl in Gotham City, marry her back, have a baby, give up going out to 'fool around' every night, and pass on the glory of the Wayne family." With an indifferent appearance, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's start with communication."
In the Holy Citizen's Great Hall, Ah Fu's chanting and final helpless tone caused a burst of laughter.
At the same time, in the few short minutes at the beginning, it seems to be just a dialogue between master and servant, but the amount of information is very large, and it is friendly to both comic fans and non-comic fans.
For comic book fans, apart from the familiar Bruce Wayne and the butler Alfred, the identities of Director Gordon, Roman Sionis and the gang leader Sal Maroney all need no introduction.
At the same time, fans of comics can also capture many familiar details from this short episode.
For example, in the conversation between the master and the servant, the Sionis couple died in a fire. Anyone who has read the comics knows that the Sionis couple were set on fire by their crazy son.Going deeper, Bruce Wayne questioned that there was a problem with the fire, but Afu was unwilling to talk about it. In fact, it was to prevent Wayne from thinking of his parents who also died unexpectedly.
Another example is Sal Maroney. In the "Batman" comics, it was this brutal gangster who threw acid in public in court and ruined the face of prosecutor Harvey Dent, creating a 'two-faced man' birth.
For non-comic fans, even if they are not familiar with the plot of the comics, they will get several important plot points.
Sheriff Gordon's distaste for Batman's actions, a fire that caused the deaths of the Sionis, gang leader Sal Maroney who was attacked by Batman in his business, and the film's villain 'Black Mask' Roman Sheen Nice.
The following stories will obviously be related to these people.
on the big screen.
The plot has turned to the evening.
In another mansion in the city that is obviously luxurious but not much different from the Wayne Mansion, the busy servants are setting up the party scene. The poster was reprimanded by the butler who stepped forward.
During the brief conversation, everyone knew that 'Angel' is a new cosmetic product that JANUS Group will launch.The purpose of the party tonight is to recommend this upcoming product to JANUS shareholders.
Immediately, the screen turned to the upstairs of the mansion.
Roman Sionis, played by Willem Dafoe, looks up from a document with obvious anger in his face: "One in a hundred thousand, Jack, it took the company three years to develop 'Angel' , it will be on the market soon, you tell me now that this product has a [-] in [-] chance of causing an allergic reaction to the user, do you know what this means?"
"Mr. Sionis, this is a fact we have to admit. Once the allergic reaction produced by 'Angel' occurs, the most serious one may even lead to sudden death of the user."
Roman Sionis clutched the document in his hand, his expression was uncertain for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Will it disfigure you?"
The executive named Jack Slade froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, mainly..."
Without waiting for Jack to introduce him, Roman Sionis interrupted: "Jack, you must know best how much we have invested in the research and development of this product, as well as the company's recent stock price. So, do you understand?"
"but……"
"It's only one in a hundred thousand." Roman Sionis stared at Jack closely, and said, "Since it won't disfigure, then maybe it's food poisoning, or pollen allergy, who knows it's caused by 'Angel'."
Jack Slade looked at the boss's almost ferocious face, and still dutifully reminded: "Mr. Sionis, once this matter is discovered, the consequences will be serious."
Roman Sionis slammed the hammer on the table and broke out completely: "Once 'Angel' fails to go on the market as scheduled, JANUS will collapse. Is there anything more serious than this?"
Jack Slade was taken aback by Roman Sionis' outburst, and he didn't dare to speak for a moment.
There was a knock on the door at this moment, and the butler who had just reprimanded the waiter pushed open the door, reminding Roman Sionis that the guests were starting to arrive.Sionnis' expression of losing his composure just now gradually returned to calm, he waved Jack Slade away, got up and put the 'Angel' test report document in the safe, and went downstairs to entertain the guests.
Night falls.
The party at Sinnis's house started to get lively, and Bruce Wayne was late driving a silver sports car alone.
Just after getting out of the car, some reporters guarding outside the mansion of the Sionnis family saw the heir of the Wayne family appearing, and surrounded them excitedly to take pictures and interview.
After Bruce Wayne dealt with the reporters, he was about to enter the mansion when he held one arm. A girl in a red dress with neat black short hair and an Italian accent approached him and said, "Sir, do you need a female companion?" ?”
Bruce Wayne nodded gentlemanly, handed the invitation letter to the doorman, and led the girl into the party scene.
Entering the hall, before Wayne could ask any questions, the girl came over and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "Thank you."
Then drift away.
Bruce Wayne shrugged his shoulders, watched the girl disappear into the crowd with a different smile, and braced himself for Roman Sionis who warmly greeted him.
On the other side, played by Valerie Golino, the "Catwoman" Selina Kyle, who is well known to all audiences, skillfully shuttles through the crowd, and occasionally flirts with the male guests who come together, and bypasses it unconsciously. The waiters and guards came upstairs.
A moment later, a rather secret door was quietly pushed open.
Selena Kyle stepped in, looked at the various types of pistols in the room with some surprises, said to herself 'a boy's private corner', and then backed out.
Catwoman is clearly not interested in guns.
In front of the big screen, when many viewers laughed knowingly at Catwoman's phrase "boy's private corner", some people understood that this was the director's foreshadowing of the plot for Roman Sionis.In the comics, Roman Sionis is capable of confronting 'Deathshooter' in terms of marksmanship.
In a blink of an eye, Selina Kyle came to the study where Roman Sionis and Jack Slade were talking, and found exactly where the safe was.
In the hall of the mansion, the feasting party still continued.
Bruce Wayne obviously wasn't used to this kind of environment, tried his best to entertain the compliments of a group of guests, and went to the bathroom with an excuse.
Camera switch.
In Roman Sionis' study room, Selina Kyle had already opened the safe and was flipping through the 'Angel' test report file when suddenly, an unexpected alarm sounded.
With a low curse, Selina Kyle cleaned up the mess in twos and twos, rolled up the document and walked out.
There was a little commotion at the party, but nothing serious.
Selena Kyle passed the bodyguards rushing upstairs without any risk, and walked out of the Sionnis mansion all the way. Seeing the reporters who were still guarding outside the mansion, Selina Kyle stuffed the documents that she had been holding just now into a reporter. inside the satchel.
A familiar silver sports car appeared and stopped beside Selena.
