When the trailer began circulating in Hollywood, the entire industry was abuzz with discussions about the movie.
Although the movie trailer was claimed to have been accidentally leaked, it quickly spread throughout Hollywood within a few days.
This result made people feel that Enigma Company deliberately leaked it to take advantage of the publicity. The media actively promoted the movie, and the trailer also lived up to their ideas. There is a strong interest in discussing the trailer for this movie.
Although this trailer is short, it already reflects a lot. After watching this trailer, people can draw many conclusions from it.
First of all, it is the technical strength shown in this trailer. The speeches seemed to be straightforward, but during the process of these speeches, the sound effects were produced very well. These words gave people an extremely rare sense of spaciousness and heaviness - these speeches seemed full of charm, and such a voice was very surprising.
These voices clearly aren't the actors' original recordings. While the actors themselves are undoubtedly talented, anyone familiar with filmmaking understands that achieving such spacious sound during filming is impossible.
The recorded audio needs post-production treatment to simulate the sense of movement and distance. Skilled sound effects professionals employ simulation and digital modification techniques to craft these effects, transforming them into sound clips that ultimately shape the atmospheric soundscapes in the film.
When combining such sound effects with movie shots, the sound effects need to be firmly fixed to each shot point. It takes a lot of experience to know when to approach and when to fade out.
Generally speaking, even if this kind of technology is used in movies, it is more often used in some musicals. For those musicals with strong rhythms, such details are meaningful. And this time, Levi shot a science fiction film, but it has the same control over sound as a musical, which is really amazing.
If this kind of control appears in a movie, it means that Levi has really put enough effort into this movie. Whether a film is good or not can often be seen in the details.
Although some commercial films cost a lot of money and have cool fights, they are not outstanding enough in terms of detailed structure.
In comparison, this movie takes sound effects so seriously, and you can see the investment in the movie.
Maybe this will be a great movie. The media was also believing at this time. Lord of the Rings 3 won the Oscar, so people no longer believe that science fiction movies will definitely not win Oscars. Moreover, judging from the film trends in the past two years, it is not a bad thing to let commercial films win awards.
This year's Oscars didn't include Levi, but the most popular one was Brokeback Mountain. Other movies are either not good enough or poorly shot. Even the best, Crash, is not recognized because its structure is close to Three-Body Problem 1. This year, it looks like Ang Lee is going to be a big success.
In addition to the seriousness of Levi's film from the sound, the other thing is naturally the picture.
Levi has said before that his movie will be made into a 3D version. Everyone knows the characteristics of 3D movies. Such movies are shot with two cameras.
Although the 3D version will make people feel very beautiful when shown, the blurring of the 2D movie pictures is also a significant problem.
However, Levi's films don't seem to have this problem. Although this trailer is only a 2D version, it looks very clear, even better than ordinary low-investment movie images.
Such a result cannot naturally be due to a breakthrough in Levi's film shooting technology - if there is such technology, it is impossible for no one to know about it. This result is more likely that while Levi was making the 3D version, he also made the 2D version. What people see is the 2D version of the movie footage.
This news still gives people a lot of comfort: although 3D movies are very good, there are still too few screens that can play such movies. With only a 3D movie screen, it is impossible to create a box office miracle no matter what. If you want to get a truly amazing box office, 2D is still the top priority.
Levi did not ignore this issue. His movies already pay attention to the 2D version. However, they don't know how much difference there will be in the production of the 3D and 2D versions of his movie.
If there really is a 2D version, will people still be willing to see the 3D version?
This question also surprises people.
Among this year's movies, the one with the highest box office should be X-Men 3. This movie unexpectedly earned more than 1 billion at the box office and gained a lot of reputation.
However, such a movie is still a 2D version. Levi's movie will be shot in 3D, so will his movie surpass this one at the box office and reach a new height? This also makes people fascinated.
The next problem is, naturally, the problem of special effects.
There are not many special effects in this trailer. Except for the Mercury nuclear base, the Space Research Institute, and the alien spacecraft that is constantly approaching, there is basically nothing else in this trailer.
However, even these simple pictures have caused people to discuss them for a long time.
Over the years, there have been many science fiction films, and people have seen a variety of cosmic images, but the production of various cosmic images has never been particularly satisfactory.
After all, the picture of a movie is limited by technology. Without enough technology, it is impossible to produce good enough pictures.
Levi's movie seems to have made new breakthroughs in terms of pictures. Compared with previous space scenes, the production of weightlessness this time seems to be even better.
Moreover, those buildings on Mars, those spaceships in space, those space suits of the astronauts in space - some of these things exist in reality, and some do not exist; regardless of whether they exist or not in the movie, their appearance looks very close to reality.
Compared with those exotic spaceships in some science fiction movies, the things in this movie are actually very consistent with the scientific development of humanity.
In the first part of The Three-Body Problem, there were alien buildings whose styles were completely different from those on Earth. However, it was introduced there that the environment of Trisolaris caused the characteristics of their buildings. In the second part, the focus has returned to the Earth. It seems that human technology has also returned to the Earth.
Does all this indicate that Levi's films have new production technology? Was the film's technology derived from reality? Will those things really appear in the future? This is something people discuss with great enthusiasm.
Levi's films are true blockbusters, and films like this will have a huge impact on cinema in every aspect. Such a huge impact is of great concern to everyone, which also makes all news about this movie attract attention.
In addition to these, people also have some ideas about the plot.
Although the methods of the four Wallfacers in the plot all look good, if you think about it carefully, you will find the problem: since they said they would deceive aliens by deceiving all mankind, how much is true? What kind of traps are hidden behind these people's words?
Judging from the structure of this story, it is very likely that these four people will talk about their plans in the movie and prepare their own action plans.
As for Levi's movie, rather than letting them deceive the Earth and the Trisolarans, it is better to let them deceive all audiences. So, what kind of puzzles are set up in the movie, and can it really be ensured that the audience will never see them?
Moreover, it seems that the people from the Earth Trisolaran Organization are still active in the second part. That sentence, "Lord doesn't care," also arouses great interest in people: The huge difference in technology is the biggest problem between Earth and aliens.
People on Earth want to win by outsmarting, but ingenuity cannot be achieved in the face of the absolute power gap. How effective it can be is a question.
Although the method of fighting aliens like the one in Independence Day looks very enjoyable, it is not very rigorous after all. So, in Levi's movie, what will be relied upon to smooth out the huge differences with aliens and achieve the victory of humanity?
And all of this seems to be focusing on Robert Downey Jr.
The media are not fools. They know very well that as the former Secretary of Defense of the United States, Taylor is 100% cannon fodder. Someone needs to take the blame for Rumsfeld in the movie.
As for the Latin nationalist, there is a great possibility that he was also cannon fodder. However, compared with his status as Minister of Defense, his status as a politician can be recognized by some people, and his personal charm seems to be higher.
As for the British scientist, his status makes people suspect he is either a supporting role or an assistant to the protagonist.
Sherlock Holmes needs a Watson; Batman needs a Robin. The protagonist always needs someone to help him. A scientist, British, married, and deeply in love with his Asian wife - such a person is simply a natural supporting role.
And these speculations have also focused people's attention on Downey. It seems that Downey will be the only protagonist of this movie. However, the only thing not mentioned in this trailer is what Downey's vision looks like. What will he do to defend the Earth?
This damn trailer says absolutely nothing. Clearly, Levi's film is still keeping people's appetites from seeing the full picture.
Moreover, what makes people even more resentful is that in the first film, those aliens who never showed their true form still did not appear in the trailer in the second film. What do aliens really look like? This issue also bothers many people.
But everyone knows that Levi will definitely not answer these questions so quickly.
"It seems that all we can do now is look forward to the movie being released as soon as possible." In this regard, the media can only express this emotion, "Judging from the existing trailers, this movie is definitely worth looking forward to. We can't wait more and more for its release!"
