Since 1983

Japanese, like Americans, do not like to read subtitles.

What Xu Fei watched was the subtitled version, which was dubbed. He doesn't understand Japanese either, so the interpreter explained in a low voice beside him, combined with his own script lines, the viewing experience was not good.

Compared with Train to Busan, Virus has not changed much, but it is more suitable for the Japanese environment.

The background setting is very big. The virus enters the sea along the inland river, polluting fish, livestock, humans and sea areas along the way, and invading East Asia and Southeast Asia. Someone even suggested that the U.S. military base should also be turned into a dead body, but after thinking about it, it was deleted.

And when the plot starts, the virus has been leaked for a while, and the official has been hiding it...

Leslie Cheung plays a Hong Kong man who works in Japan, married a Japanese wife, and divorced to fight for the custody of the child.

He is a financial talent with a cold personality, but he loves his daughter very much. The daughter kissed her mother, arguing to go to her mother's place, so he had no choice but to take the daughter and get on the train to another city.

So the characters appeared one by one, Gong Li's pregnant woman, Song Kanghao's boxer, Sanada Hiroyuki's villain, Hirosue Ryoko's high school student...

The biggest freshness of the film is that the story takes place in the East, as well as the zombie transformation process and action design.

A good train turned into hell because of an infected person slipping into it. At the beginning, the preparations were not rushed, and by the 20th minute:

Passenger, are you all right?

Miss? Miss?

My God, what should I do?

Attractive female flight attendant is overwhelmed, holding a walkie-talkie to call a colleague to help.

The infected person was lying on the ground, already entering the stage of corpse change. I saw her standing up straight without bones, standing in a distorted posture, her face was covered with black and purple blood vessels.

The flight attendant turned around and screamed in terror.

It didn't continue here, it was a small pass, followed by the set of pictures that Xu Fei saw at the beginning.

Two baseball team members are fighting, the camera is very low, the flight attendant's body is passing by, lying on his back, his two strong and plump thighs are drooping, and purple blood vessels are bursting out.

Uh... ah...

The flight attendant groaned in pain and staggered forward.

People turned their heads one after another, and only then did they show a frontal shot: a woman was lying on her back, buried between her neck and gnawed frantically, blood dripping down her clothes.

The flight attendant struggled and suddenly fell to the ground.

The woman was like a hungry wild beast. She pushed her head hard and continued to bite her neck.

When the prey was completely out of breath, the woman raised her head suddenly, her pupils were gray, her hair was sticky with blood, and she really roared like a beast.

What is that?

what happened?

ah!

Before the people could react, another prey was caught, screaming repeatedly.

The flight attendant on the ground suddenly moved, his body twitched violently, he opened his arms like a bow, and stretched his arms in the opposite direction. The slender neck was tilted back, revealing a ghostly face.

The face and mouth were covered with blood, and the teeth were sharp, nailed into the mouth one by one.

ah!

The whole carriage became chaotic, and the disaster began.

Fuck!

Xiao Mo expressed his feelings about watching the movie again, and then looked around.

Really quiet, of course not absolute, the little girl next to him widened her eyes, showed a look of Si Guoyi on her face, and let out a soft exclamation.

oh!

Xiao Mo understood, it wasn't that there was no movement, it was that there was little movement.

The rhythm was suddenly tense, and the soundtrack was like a rapid drumbeat, beating on everyone's hearts.

One bites two, two bites four, four bites eight... the one infected first leads to the infection later, and eventually they all die together. Almost in the blink of an eye, the zombies began to kill everywhere, bleeding from car to car.

ah!

Let's go, let's go!

help me!

Mother!

The zombies are not slow, but fast, with bloody mouths, and twisted hands and feet like strange species.

Tsui Hark was born in cult films, and his rendering ability is extremely strong. He referred to Nobody's Name, and also took a long shot like a horizontal version of an arcade game.

The screen moves slowly from right to left:

People ran into a carriage, and once they were overtaken by zombies behind them, the whole carriage would become a gluttonous feast. The survivors continued to run forward, and more and more zombie armies gathered to chase forward.

Emphasis is on the door, the door at the junction of the carriages.

Every time the survivors opened a door, it was like opening the exit of hell, which instead brought disaster to innocent people.

However, the narrow space of the train is limited, Leslie Cheung is holding his daughter and running, the camera suddenly becomes a subjective perspective, staring straight at the zombie, bloody and bloody, howling crazily...

Zombies gathered more and more, and finally piled together, the front squeezed, the back pounced, and the back continued to pounce...

bang bang bang!

A chase scene freezes in the sea of ​​corpses.

Si Guoyi!

Xiao Mo finally heard someone express his feelings about watching the movie, although it was still in a low voice.

He himself was already stunned. The rhythm of this scene was exciting, the editing was sharp, and the use of the camera was so wonderful that it was almost breathless.

Even if he doesn't understand the lines, he thinks it's awesome!

As soon as the scene changed, the rhythm eased temporarily, and Song Kanghao was replaced by waiting outside the toilet, and Gong Li came out impatiently—also a transnational couple.

The woman puffs her stomach, and the husband is careful in every possible way.

Suddenly the door opened, and one person was thrown to the ground by zombies, followed by Leslie Cheung, who was holding his daughter, and slipped over.

There is a problem with the original version. Everyone's language and actions are slow, and they have to be slow to catch up. If the reaction is slow, it can be explained by being scared, and the conversation between people is also slow, it is simply a matter of rhythm.

Song Kanghao was still watching, Gong Li kicked him directly: Help!

Uncle, what are you doing?

Song Kanghao, who had a cut head and a flat face, was quite gentle, picked up the zombie, and the zombie rushed towards him, blocking it with two thick arms, and said, Uncle, are you crazy?

Uncle, you are so rude.

Hiss... Aw...

Uncle!

You idiot!

Gong Li rushed up, swung his bag and slammed it violently: He is no longer human, hit him!

oh oh!

boom!

True One Punch Man.

Survivors gathered in a carriage, and Leslie Cheung was in charge of intelligence. He found that zombies would not open the door and would only attack when they saw prey, so he pasted newspaper on the glass.

Sure enough, it was quiet outside, and it was safe for the time being.

The original version is to read the news on the mobile phone, but now there is no smart phone, so the TV news is inserted.

Not only Japan, but all of Asia is suffering to increase the (box office) acceptance in other regions - because the virus has been leaking for a while.

People bite people in Hong Kong and Taiwan!

The Thai government is in emergency martial law!

Large-scale riots in Seoul, South Korea!

Two motorcycles collided in India, dozens of people were killed and injured!

…………

Train to Busan is a very good commercial film.

Commercial films are not deep, the truth is easy to understand, there is a change in the protagonist's personality, the greatness and despicableness of human nature, and certain social contradictions in South Korea...

The overall story is very good, well-paced, and always maintains a level that makes people want to continue watching.

The story of Virus has not been changed much, and the background is nothing more than the superficial level of Japanese society, which is also easy to understand.

When everyone is safe for the time being, how will it unfold later? The conductor of the train announced that it will stop at a certain station, and the Self-Defense Forces will arrange it there, and everyone will get off the train.

Hiroyuki Sanada's villain and Tadanobu Asano's homeless man began to increase their roles; Fumyo Kohinata's train conductor also appeared, the most familiar face in Japanese dramas.

When everyone got out of the car, they felt wrong and empty. After entering the station and going out, I didn't see a single person.

The result, the audience has probably guessed.

But when a group of soldier zombies dressed in self-defense uniforms, with black and purple blood vessels all over their faces, and bloody mouths pounced on them, there was finally a unified and low exclamation in the audience.

ah!

Help!

Go back, go back quickly!!

The pot boiled in an instant, screams and screams were joined together, and people were thrown down every second, and the station became a restaurant for feasting, the end of the world.

The number of survivors was greatly reduced, and less than half of the survivors fled back to the carriage.

Hurry up!

Leslie Cheung, Song Kanghao, Bai Yuanchong and others were the last batch, desperately locked the glass door and ran away.

The soldier zombies seemed to be more powerful in fighting, thumping and crowding the gate, and only lasted for three seconds, wow! The glass shattered all over the place.

The corpses rushed in like a tide.

The pile is like a hill.

This shot was shot several times, batches were dumped on the ground, and they were composited together in post-production.

...

Xiao Mo shook his head and understood why it couldn't be filmed in the mainland. Who would dare to deal with this zombie of the People's Liberation Army?

But he fled in a hurry and got into a different carriage.

Gong Li took Xia Fan and the tramp to hide in the toilet. Leslie Cheung, Song Kanghao, and Bai Yuanchong gathered together, and their daughters, wives, and girlfriends were on the other side.

Just get through the four carriages...

The boxer took off his coat, revealing his thick upper body, and wrapped cloth strips and tapes around his hands: I will lead the battle, you will be in the middle, and you will be in the rear.

So the clearance game begins.

This is the good rhythm of the story, and there is no urine point in the whole process.

The three of them broke through one level after another, and Leslie Cheung discovered that zombies can be identified by hearing and cannot attack in the dark, so he used the cover of mobile phone ringing and tunnels to reach the destination without any danger.

As a result, under the instigation of the villain, everyone locked the door firmly and forbids entry.

Boxers sacrificed to protect several people.

Leslie Cheung and others managed to get inside, beat the villain angrily, the villain broke free, and continued to agitate:

He's infected!

He's infected too! Look at his eyes... let's kick him out!

These people have to get out!

...

The sound seemed to disappear, and the camera scanned the survivors, greeted with hostile gazes. In the next second, all men, women and children were shouting:

Get out!

hurry up!

Let's go!

Several people had to leave.

Hey, the audience is so depressed!

But immediately after, of the two traveling old ladies, one had already turned into a zombie outside the door, and the remaining one gave those people a cold look:

A bunch of scum!

She faltered, walked over firmly and opened the door.

The villain yelled: Old woman! Stop that old woman!

ah!

ah!

…………

The film is not long, about two hours.

The audience feels that they have passed through a lot of things, and they are extremely full.

Finally, the train stopped and could not move forward. All I saw was a huge site with more than a dozen railroad tracks, full of all kinds of out-of-service trains.

Flames blazed and smoke billowed.

The train conductor found a still moving locomotive, and at this time there were only four people left: the male lead, the pregnant woman, the daughter, and the villain.

The villain went up first and killed the train conductor.

The remaining few people chased after them, and behind them, zombies overwhelmingly chased after them. A total of three scenes of corpse tide were filmed, the first time was on the train, the second time was at the halfway station, and the third time was now.

Every time is more than one time, and the picture is more shocking than one time.

Leslie Cheung struggled to climb up with his daughter in his arms, then dragged Gong Li up, and went to the cab to check first.

In the original version, the protagonist clearly saw that the villain was already infected, so he didn't do anything, he had to turn into a corpse to attack to resist... This is not human, it is sick!

There are changes here.

Dried straight away.

ah!

dad!

The daughter cried and insisted on going up, but Gong Li held her tightly.

Leslie Cheung was accidentally bitten and threw Sanada Hiroyuki down desperately. He didn't have time for any grief and immediately ran into the cab.

Listen to me carefully, listen to me...

His head was sweating profusely, his body was covered in blood, and the hand pointing at the console was rapidly decomposing: This should be the brake, pull this when you get to a safe place!

Then he picked up his daughter again:

Xiaomei, it's okay, it's okay, look at daddy, look at daddy!

He was breathing more and more quickly, Listen to me, you have to stay with Auntie all the time, you know? It's safe ahead, it's safe, mom will come to pick you up...

dad!

Dad, don't go! It's all my fault... woo woo... woo woo...

Xia Fan contributed his acting skills, at least he cried naturally.

Leslie Cheung looked at her, his facial muscles began to tremble, and he lowered his head to cry, silently. Then he shook off his daughter's hand and ran out of the cab.

dad!

The child was heartbroken, and Gong Li hugged her, also crying.

In this kind of movie, it is easy to ignore the acting skills when the scene is exciting, but this kind of scene is highlighted immediately.

He seemed to be silenced inside, but when he came out, there was a sudden cry, and he staggered to the railing... What everyone saw was a man in pain.

Crying and crying, there was no crying, only soft and sad piano music.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. His pupils were already gray, his face was covered with blood vessels, and he showed a stiff and unnatural smile.

Before the last trace of sanity was lost, he fell forward and fell off the front of the car.

...

When the car stopped, the pregnant woman dragged the girl into the dark tunnel.

The girl sang the song her father taught:

Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me...

This is a well-known song, which means Edelweiss, Edelweiss, welcome me in the morning... Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my hometown forever...

The clear and pure voice of the child echoed in the tunnel and also spread to the opposite side.

On the opposite side are soldiers with live ammunition.

Unable to confirm, please instruct!

Shoot!

Wait a minute, it's a survivor, find a survivor!

Edelweiss, edelweiss, Bless my homeland forever...

The screen goes dark, and the movie ends.

Xu Fei looked around, but the lights were not turned on, and the credits scrolled at the end of the film. The audience didn't move, just stared at the list, and the lights turned on after scrolling.

People got up and walked out, and there was nothing to talk about.

Tsk!

Teacher Xu has been fooled, do you like it or not?

He then left the theater and called Lao Song, who was also puzzled: An Tian said the reaction was very good, but I didn't see any reaction at all!

Anyway, they are quite confident, saying that word-of-mouth will make it possible to do long-term screenings.

...

Xu Fei shrugged, Okay, if you don't experience it yourself, you really don't know what's going on with their habits.

(besides……)
