On the other side, the leader Lao Qian was also watching Lu Ban’s new movie.
The volcano plot at the beginning also left him dumbfounded.
I've seen so many disaster movies, but I've never seen anything like this.
I originally thought that the male protagonist would show his prowess to rescue the trapped people, but in the end, the two people and the helicopter were destroyed by the volcano.
So this is a supporting role to show the power of the volcanic eruption?
But to be honest, the opening scene does a good job of showing the power of the volcanic eruption.
Many volcanic eruptions in movies are more like lava surges, only the hot, slow magma gradually engulfs everything.
But the eruption of this movie is like squeezing a pimple on your face that has turned white and finally bursting and exploding.
There is a refreshing feeling.
What's more, this special effect made Lao Qian feel as if he was there, as if he was at the crater of a volcano. Even though he had never seen a real volcanic eruption, at this moment, he thought that this was what a real volcanic eruption would be like.
And then, the magma that gradually gushed out was another kind of hell.
The entire mountain area was covered with the thick dark red liquid. The original lake disappeared and a larger lake was formed.
It is said that in the ancient times when geological activities were most active, volcanic magma could cover an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, forming a sea of magma more terrifying than hell. Seeing the lava flow that continued to devour everything around it, Lao Qian truly felt the power of nature.
The next moment, the camera turned and came to the sea.
On the quiet sea, a fishing boat drifts with the waves.
Its lights attracted the fish, squids, etc. in the sea. A fisherman was sitting on the side of the boat fishing.
Ocean-going fishing vessels go out to sea for more than half a year at a time. They go deep into the fishing grounds to catch all kinds of valuable marine fish, which they can eat for more than half a year at a time.
Sea fishing is purely for fun.
If you can’t catch any, go to the cold storage.
The fisherman raised his rod and pulled up a small squid. He looked at it and threw it back into the sea. The squid immediately dived into the sea and disappeared.
At this time, another fisherman came out and the two chatted for a while, roughly outlining a classic screen image of a man in a middle-aged crisis, with his wife and children separated and he can only rely on fishing to make a living.
Lao Qian has seen many such characters. Basically, the following plot is that after some hardships, the character's personal ideals are realized and his family returns, or he fulfills himself in the midst of setbacks but ultimately fails and becomes a tragic hero.
However, based on the previous plot, Lao Qian felt that this was definitely not that simple.
While the two people in the movie were chatting, Lao Qian suddenly felt that something was wrong with the picture.
In the darkness on the sea in the distance, it seemed as if something was wriggling.
At this time, the people in the movie also noticed this scene.
The camera looked into the distance and seemed to see land.
But soon they discovered that it was not land, but the tide of a tsunami.
The whimpering sound of seabirds coming from nowhere woke everyone up. The camera rose from the boat and flew rapidly towards the tsunami as high as a mountain, as if it was caught by the seabirds.
Lao Qian only saw that the tsunami of more than 500 meters formed a wall that was unprecedentedly high in human history. This wall was coming towards the fishing boat at an extremely high speed. The camera zoomed in and the fishermen's faces were filled with despair and looked as pale as death.
Shouting, roaring, the sound of machines running, and then the sound of the sea.
The sound of the tide enveloped everything. The tsunami passed by without weakening at all, and the fishing boat sank to the bottom of the sea without even the wreckage floating up.
At this moment, in the farther place, the port and the ships were still unaware, men and women were drunk in the bar, the white-haired old man was chattering in front of the shabby TV, the down-and-out office workers were dragging their tired bodies home step by step, and the young mother had just coaxed her child to sleep, she came to the window, ready to draw the curtains.
Then, not far away, we saw the tsunami that covered the sky and the sun coming towards us with a devastating force.
After the tsunami, everything fell silent.
Old Qian couldn't help but sigh.
In his view, the tsunami not only showed the breathtaking power of nature, but also the insignificance of human beings who were powerless to resist such a huge force.
Whether it is ugly, beautiful, hopeful or hopeless, everything in human society will turn to nothingness in the face of such a natural disaster.
If the plot at the beginning of this movie is to make people feel how terrible the disaster that will sweep humanity will be, then Lao Qian feels that he has done so.
Even in the face of such a natural disaster, he couldn't think of how humans could fight it.
Human civilization has developed for so many years, but we can only prevent and predict these geological disasters, but cannot fight against them. When a disaster strikes, we can only pray that the damage will be less severe.
However, Lao Qian could not understand what Lu Ban’s purpose was in taking such pictures, other than giving people a sense of shock.
Is it just to tell everyone that the power of nature is invincible?
He read on patiently.
…
At noon, Mo Guangyuan calculated the time and stood up immediately as soon as the bell rang, ready to go to the cafeteria.
But as soon as I stood up, I felt something was wrong.
"Strange, they should have finished watching, right? They are usually quite active when eating, why haven't they come out today?"
He looked towards the office and found that several other colleagues were like him, secretly paying attention to what was going on in the leader's office.
Logically, if there was nothing wrong with Lu Ban's movie and it was very good, they should have already asked someone to send the master tape of the sample to the warehouse for storage and then fill in the review comments.
If Lu Ban's movie fails, people will probably come out to complain about it.
But there was no movement at all, what happened?
"Never mind. We can't see it anyway. Let's eat first. Eat people and eat souls. I heard there are pig's feet today. If we go too late, there may only be soybeans left."
Mr. Li, a colleague standing by, said.
The two went to the cafeteria to eat, and when they came back, they found the office door open.
Curious Mo Guangyuan looked inside.
I saw the leader Lao Qian sitting on the chair. He looked much more haggard, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
“Why is this happening…why is this happening…”
Old Qian was mumbling something incoherent, and Mo Guangyuan plucked up the courage to knock on the office door.
"Minister, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Guangyuan asked.
Hearing the voice, Lao Qian suddenly looked over.
His eyes were bloodshot and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Then, he stood up immediately and rushed to Mo Guangyuan's side unexpectedly, grabbing Mo Guangyuan's shoulders tightly with both hands. His voice was hoarse, like a patient who had a serious illness.
"Dark, damn dark!"
Lao Qian's voice sounded like a sigh, but also like an accusation.
