.

The two chatted for a while and then started to enter the venue. It was almost early in the morning at a nightclub in a remote theater, and the occupancy rate was still almost half. The two knowledgeable people secretly smacked their lips.

"Do you think this movie can surpass "Transformers 3"?" "Not sure?"

Liu Tianxian looked a little solemn. Even if this drama cannot reach the height of "Transformers", 500 million + is still very promising.

Many professional institutions even estimate that it will be between 600 million and 800 million, surpassing Lao Mouzi's "The Thirteen Hairpins" and "The Founding of the Party", and is regarded as the most popular Chinese-language film this year.

It was supposed to be the most popular movie in theaters this year, but "Transformers 3" performed so fiercely that all parties restrained themselves.

But even so, "Now You See Me" is regarded as the only movie this year that can challenge "Transformers 3", which shows that the outside world is optimistic about this movie and Cao Xuan himself.

If "Now You See Me" can meet expectations, coupled with related box office in Hollywood and Asia, the total box office will easily exceed 2 billion yuan.

For a movie of this size, even if Damimi only plays a supporting role in it, the profit it can make is very scary.

If Liu Tianxian had a more or less relaxed attitude just now, seeing this scene in the theater, the pressure in his heart suddenly increased a lot.

The two found a seat in a corner and waited for a few minutes for the movie to start.

The original version of "Now You See Me" is in English, and there is a Mandarin dubbing version in China. Cao Xuan and Damimi are the original voices, and the audience can choose freely.

Liu Tianxian and the others chose the original version in English. She is good at English and has almost no barriers, and Shu sings somewhat well, not to mention that it has subtitles.

As soon as the movie opened, the magician played by Cao Xuan appeared and cut cards in a careless way, which caused a small cheer from the audience.

Liu Tianxian and Liu Tianxian couldn't help but look at each other. This card cutting was not a close-up of hands, but a half-length shot of Cao Xuan, with his hands, head, and body all in the frame.

Judging from their experience, the chance of special effects is very small, because it is not worth it, so it is probably Cao Xuan himself who is cutting the cards.

"I didn't expect Teacher Cao to have such a skill." "I never heard that he can do magic. He must have practiced it while filming a movie."

Liu Tianxian had filmed a movie with Cao Xuan, and he knew that Cao Xuan liked to practice some character skills in private. During "Hurricane Rescue", Cao Xuan learned a lot of action shooting, and he would go shooting every day when he had nothing to do.

Although his level is far lower than that of some professionals, compared with ordinary people, he is still considered a master.

Talking back to the movie, each of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has a magic trick. Comparatively speaking, the visual effect of Cao Xuan's magic may be a little worse, but the interesting thing is the interaction with the audience.

When doing magic, Cao Xuan faced the audience directly off the screen. He cut the cards twice and asked people to choose the cards. Some viewers may also follow suit unconsciously.

And when the answer is revealed, everyone will find that the cards they think of are the same as those in the movie. This is the most interesting thing.

And the secret is also very simple. Because the cards are cut twice, the magician's technique deliberately keeps the card [7] in the audience's sight as much as possible, and subconsciously picks [7].

And this is also the characteristic of magicians. They have superb skills and like to play subconscious tricks. And the tone of the entire movie also constantly emphasizes this point -

Sometimes, what you hear and see may not be true.

The magician took the girl home, and when he was about to have sex, he suddenly saw a figure outside the window. He chased the girl away and jumped out of the window.

"Hi bro, long time no see." "Daniel, I need your help."

As a result, the main plot begins, and the magician played by Cao Xuan appears at the performance of the unlocking king (Captain America) and the hypnotist (Juan Fu).

Needless to say, the King of Lockpicks has a technical characteristic of having strong stealing skills, knowing some magic tricks, and likes to play traps. He is also a fan of magicians.

The hypnotist's appearance is full of highlights, not to mention his hypnosis skills. The most interesting thing is that he relies on micro-expression interrogation to uncover all the secrets of a man.

"What are you thinking about, the beach, cocktails, going home..."

After the husband paused, the hypnotist immediately asked: "What do you want to do when you get home? Party, watch football, women..."

The husband looked panicked, and the hypnotist concluded: "Woman, it seems that you are not honest. What is her name?"

The husband was anxious: "I don't know what you are talking about?"

The hypnotist ignored it and continued to ask with interest: "a\b\c...j."

Seeing that j was read, the husband's eyelids twitched, and the hypnotist stopped: "The name starting with j, Jane? Jessie? Jane? Julissa..."

Seeing her husband purse his lips, the hypnotist stopped and looked at his wife next to him: "Do you know Julissa?"

The wife's face was ashen: "She is my sister."

Not to mention how the hypnotist in the movie blackmails the husband and uses hypnosis to make the wife forget what happened just now.

Just talking about the scene just now, step by step, judging by micro-expressions, you can make people collapse to the point of death, which aroused the audience's amazement.

"Damn, that's awesome."

In fact, in the original movie, the hypnotist only asked a few questions, but more to demonstrate his hypnotic ability.

On the contrary, the final chapter of "Mao Liang" later borrowed this passage and carried it forward, making it a classic segment in the play. Shao Banxian, who used this method, was also crowned a god in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Cao Xuan made special changes in the script of "Now You See Me" and added a scene for the hypnotist in combination with "Mao Liar", which instantly made it full of character.

Whether it is Detective Sherlock or later Doctor Strange, Juan Fu is very good at playing such mysterious and high-end characters.

The hypnotist in the original movie may have wanted to achieve a contrasting effect, so he chose a strong man with a fierce face. Some people may think it is good, but others may think it is inconsistent.

Cao Xuan is considered the latter. He feels that Juan Fu is more in line with his positioning and vision of the role of a hypnotist.

If we follow the original version, the actor who plays the hypnotist is likely to be Dwayne Johnson...

The last person to appear was Damimi, whose escape magic should also be the most visually effective among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The audience's reaction was also very good, especially when Da Mimi took off her coat, it made waves, and she jumped into her hands. Later, she performed a wet temptation, which caused many audience members without female companions to howl like wolves.

Liu Tianxian couldn't help but take a few more glances, compare himself, and then said sourly that it was all thanks to technology. It is worth mentioning that the original Chrono and Space Damimi has a "Far Cry" this summer, which is terrible.

This movie relies entirely on Damimi's popularity and selling meat, and it is a feast for the eyes of many viewers.

Now that the situation has changed, Cao Xuan still retains benefits for the audience, which can be said to have good intentions. However, "Far Cry" only sells meat, and "Now You See Me" is not that simple.

After several people appeared one by one, Cao Xuan showed up again and used a blueprint that was not stated directly to the audience. He persuaded the other three to jointly form the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The next plot is that one year later, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse officially appeared and held a magic show in Vegas.

And this magic is to teleport a lucky person to a bank vault in Paris thousands of kilometers away in front of everyone, and then empty the entire vault of banknotes.

The magic was a great success, and the video was broadcast live. The lucky person went to the vault and left the tickets and playing cards as evidence. Then the fan in the vault rolled the banknotes into the pipe, and it rained banknotes at the magic show site.

The most terrifying thing was that the Parisian bank later discovered that its vault was indeed empty, leaving only the magic show tickets and playing cards as evidence.

This magic made the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse famous, and also made the audience outside the screen curious. How did this magic happen?

The FBI dispatched detectives to investigate, led by Mark Ruffalo, and his partner was policewoman Gal Gadot.

They arrested the Four Horsemen and interrogated them in various ways, but there was no evidence and there was nothing they could do against them. Instead, they were teased by the Four Horsemen.

Cao Xuan also flirted with a group of police beauties and established a preliminary CP relationship, which also paved the way for what follows.

The Four Horsemen left gracefully, and the detective's investigation reached a deadlock. They could only find the famous magic revealer, the old black man, the villain, to come forward.

The old man was very talented and quickly deciphered the secrets of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The so-called transmission is actually an identical vault built under the stage. Everything the live and live audiences see is the picture of this vault.

As for how the bank in Paris was stolen, it is believed that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse hypnotized the driver of the cash transport truck and the bank auditors, intercepting the real banknotes, and the banknotes in the bank safe turned into counterfeit banknotes printed on glitter paper using magic props. This magic

The props spontaneously ignited when struck by fire, leaving no trace, thus creating the "fact" that the bank was emptied by the magician.

The lucky man also left the magic evidence tickets and playing cards because the magician had been repeatedly hypnotizing him that day, allowing him to select the playing cards as the magician requested.

Through the flashback revelation, the audience understood the principle. Although some details may still have some flaws, the overall logic is not problematic.
