The first episode of "Octopus"
In 2000, the first episode of "Octopus" was born. The director is John, the famous American director who wrote and directed "Judge and Jury". John Eyres.
The first episode of "Octopus" mainly describes how the former Soviet Union defied the U.S. embargo policy and used submarines to smuggle supplies to Cuba during the missile launch in Cuba. It was accidentally discovered by an American warship while being transported, and was hit by a torpedo and sank to the bottom of the sea. Large amounts of dangerous goods carried on ships were spilled everywhere. A few years later, the United States used submarines to secretly transport terrorists back to the country for trial from Europe. On the way, they were attacked by a sea monster - an unusually large and ferocious octopus. So the ship sank and the tsunami broke out...
Following the great success of the first level of "Octopus", NU IMAGE once again launched an action thriller about the giant octopus - "Octopus: East River Horror". Screenwriter Michael Weiss once again penned the story. This time police officer Nick and his colleagues need to fight giant monsters in a narrow tunnel while rescuing trapped citizens.
The monster shown in front of the audience in this film is an extremely powerful octopus. Let us see what kind of disaster this big octopus has brought to mankind, how humans fight against the big octopus, and how to deal with this ferocious and cunning monster. "Killer".
② Made in the United States, the mysterious computer stunts and shocking audio-visual effects truly reproduce the terrifying moment when the giant octopus eats people, shakes the earth, and screams.
The behind-the-scenes production team of this film is strong. A large number of staff and animators were used in the film, and the most advanced computer special effects synthesis technology was used. It took several months to complete all the scenes in the film. The breathtaking special effects and stunt shots, whether it is the terrifying giant octopus devouring the Statue of Liberty in Manhattan, the collapse of the cross-sea tunnel, or the earth-shattering and stormy mermaid fighting scenes, are all breathtaking. It is huge and spectacular, and the fire is extraordinary. .
③Some scenes of horrific disasters are reminiscent of the "Terrorist Tsunami Incident in New Orleans" that shocked the world
I believe that Chinese audiences must be familiar with the "Terrorist Tsunami Incident in New Orleans, USA" that shocked the world last year Still fresh in my memory. It is undeniable that the tsunami terrorist incident was a historic shock not only to the United States, but also to the whole world. In this film, the audience can also clearly see horrific scenes similar to the "tsunami incident". Particularly worth mentioning are the tragic scenes in the film of turbulent waves, swaying wind and rain, and crowds fleeing in all directions. They are absolutely shocking and frightening at every step, and one cannot help but think of the severe damage suffered by the "Tsunami Terrorist Incident". In the film, you can deeply feel a painful fact - the economic losses and serious consequences caused by serious natural disasters are no less lethal than terrorist attacks. The difference is that the story of this film takes place in New York rather than New Orleans, and the huge disaster in the film is caused by monsters, not Hurricane Katrina. However, during the promotion stage of the film's release, we can use the "shipwreck incident" as a good entry point to further expand the audience's interest in watching the film.
④Tips
※ Understand the octopus
The big octopus that appears in the film stimulates our eyeballs, impacts our brains, and brings excitement to the audience. Come endless fantasies. So, let us get to know this "fierce, witty, and cunning" octopus.
Octopus is not a fish, it is a mollusk, also known as "octopus". The life cycle of an octopus is short, about one to three years. The main enemies are large fish, sharks, dolphins and moray eels.
When it comes to octopus, he is the "biggest one" in the ocean. The astonishing intelligence of the octopus gives it a very unique personality. It is extremely powerful, cruel, aggressive, and resourceful, and many marine animals are afraid of it.
The reason why the octopus can run rampant in the sea is inseparable from its special "magic weapon" of self-defense and offense.
First of all, the octopus has eight sensitive tentacles. Each tentacle has more than 300 suction cups, and the pulling force of each suction cup is 100 grams. No matter who is entangled in its tentacles, it will be difficult to escape. Interestingly, the tentacles of octopuses are highly sensitive like human hands and are used to detect movements in the outside world. Whenever an octopus rests, there are always one or two tentacles on duty.
The octopus can spray ink six times in a row, and after half an hour, it can accumulate a lot of ink. Octopus ink is not poisonous to humans.
Secondly, octopuses have an amazing ability to change color. Their skin will change color when they experience changes in emotions such as panic, excitement, or excitement. Some people have seen that even if an octopus is injured, it still has the ability to change color.
Furthermore, octopus has a strong regenerative ability. Whenever the tentacle is broken, the blood vessels at the wound will contract as much as possible to make the wound heal quickly, so the wound will not bleed. It will grow back the next day, and a new tentacle will soon grow.
Last point, octopuses have superb escape skills. It can survive for several days without seawater.
Octopuses are also excellent "architects".
Octopuses can carry away large rocks that are 5, 10, or even 20 times heavier than themselves. In places where octopuses like to live, "Octopus City" often appears. These "Octopus Homes" built of stones are lined up in rows, which is quite impressive. For spectacular.
The octopus is aggressive by nature, but it is also a bit afraid of bullying. When it encounters an opponent who is stronger than itself, it will use the tactic of "losing pawns to save its rook". If it encounters an opponent who is not as good as itself, it will definitely kill the opponent. defeat.
The octopus is cruel, cruel and cunning. It is very dangerous for people who go to the sea to encounter it. However, people still have ways to deal with it. As long as they quickly cut off the nerve slightly higher between the octopus's eyes, they can get rid of it. Danger.
The following little story will help us understand octopus better:
A big octopus is swimming with a leer, and a big lobster is swimming quickly from the opposite side. The lobster is swimming beside it. While thinking: "With my pair of big pincers, when I encounter a small fish, the fish will be broken every time." At this time, it has arrived in front of the octopus. The two males met and first glared at each other. , for a moment, the lobster, which could not hold its breath, pounced towards the octopus first with its hard shell and sharp claws. The octopus knew that this fight would be 100% successful, so it dodged calmly. Then the lobster attacked the octopus for the second and third time, but the octopus deftly dodged them one by one. At this time, the lobster was a little frustrated and out of breath from exhaustion. The smart octopus began to use the first tactic - changing color. The octopus turns red for a while, green for a while, bright for a while, and darkens for a while, which suddenly dazzles the lobster. At this time, the lobster became more and more angry, and kept beating its chest with its tail. After all this tossing, the lobster was really exhausted. The octopus used its second tactic - releasing its tentacles, using its tentacles with hundreds of suckers to surround the lobster tightly. The lobster, which had been furious for a long time, was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, so it immediately stretched out its big claws like a hacksaw and clamped tightly on the octopus's tentacles. At this time, the lobster thought to itself: "It's strange, it usually grabs fish so hard." Easy, why can't it be pinched this time? "Even though it is pinched constantly, the lobster will never relax. At this moment when the outcome was hard to decide, the octopus finally came up with the third tactic - spraying "smoke bombs". Suddenly, the surroundings were dark, choking the lobster so that it could not see its direction and was paralyzed and unable to move. A wonderful fight ended with the octopus winning.
