Pick the flowers, then grow a building? Alien plants devour a building! - Tomorrow's War, East Corridor, Surround Chase
Hong Kong is densely populated with numerous buildings and buildings. If you want to move around the city conveniently, you need to rely on the "overpass" system. The continuous pedestrian and vehicular overpasses support the daily travel of seven million people
On the one hand, flyovers do provide "point-to-point" convenience; on the other hand, they eliminate citizens' overall impression of the urban landscape. The results are either good or bad, so I won’t comment here. However, it is an indisputable fact that Hong Kong has many flyovers. For example, Tsuen Wan is known as the "City in the Sky", and its pedestrian bridge network is so impressive that it has a Wikipedia column dedicated to explaining it!
The endless overpasses in big cities have gradually become the filming stages for many movies, just like the recent science fiction masterpiece - "Tomorrow's War" (please note that there are some spoilers below)
How can a normally crowded pedestrian bridge turn into a chase without any interruptions?
"Tomorrow's War" tells the story of the polluted earth in 2055, which was invaded by the alien plant Pandora. The B16 disaster area was devoured by it. The air combat troops were ordered to complete the combat mission, modify Pandora's genes, and save thousands of people
"Ming" borrowed two major flyovers in Hong Kong - the Eastern Corridor and the Kwun Tong Bypass - as the main battlefield in the film, and shot a rather compact fifteen-minute footbridge chase!
The main road, which is usually bustling with traffic, was so jammed with traffic that it was impossible to shoot the scene in real time. Only with the help of Daoben's technology, the production team merged the two overpasses into one, used green screen technology to clear the overpasses, and chased them with robots and armored vehicles that were sworn to complete the mission
In the film, the flavor of Hong Kong is vaguely present, and you can see that the production team has taken great care to capture the details of the city. For example, the real-life buildings on the side of the overpass were "popped" back using a computer to make the background; the street signs on the road also have local characteristics and are familiar to Hong Kong people every day
But I think the most interesting part is Jiang Haowen’s paragraph: We reached the target area in 15 minutes, “if there’s no traffic jam”!
If there were no traffic jams in Hong Kong, it would be so convenient to drive! It's a pity that reality...Oh no!
Although the overall story is not very solid, there are indeed no flaws in the CG aspect. All good, come and support Louis Koo!
Let’s enjoy the thrill of riding in an armored vehicle, speeding along the unobstructed East Corridor, and watching the surroundings! It would be great if I could do it even after work!
