Background

The threat of ice age is serious, and the greenhouse effect

The ice age 65 million years ago made dinosaurs completely extinct; If the new ice age comes, where will humans be? In order to arouse the world's threat to the increasingly serious greenhouse effect and the new ice age that may be caused theoretically, the film The Day After Tomorrow has designed a series of related frozen images for world-famous landmarks, showing the urgency and comprehensiveness of the threat of climate to human beings. Because the climate change in the film was first submerged by seawater and then suddenly frozen due to the rapid drop in temperature, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben in London will all be frozen into icicles, and the horizontal icicles highlight the rapid cooling and freezing of the earth. Choose two images of the Statue of Liberty "Wet Body" and the Statue of Liberty "Ice Cream" as official posters!

noting the horrible consequences brought by the greenhouse effect, Roland Emmerich, the director of The Day After Tomorrow, is determined to make The Day After Tomorrow the world's first completely carbon-neutral A-class production: "The greenhouse effect is aggravated by the extensive use of lights, generators and fuel during filming, and we strive to neutralize and absorb the emitted carbon dioxide to make up for the earth? Why don't you try to pull out stupid porcelain? Frame disadvantages? Future Forests), calculate the total amount of carbon dioxide that will be produced by shooting this film from the future forest, and then plant forests in California and Bhutan! Not only that, the director also funded the purchase of light bulbs to Jamaica and assisted the low-income families in the United States to save electricity! Really do not worsen the greenhouse effect, and prove that blockbuster movies can also care for the earth.

In recent years, no matter where you are in the world, you can clearly feel the climate change of the earth. Hail in mainland China, flood in Europe, heat wave in India, and 16 tornadoes in the United States every day also hit the highest temperature of 38.7°C in a century on August 9 last year. All this makes people wonder, what happened to the earth? The World Health Organization pointed out that the greenhouse effect is the culprit of the earth's climate change. Climate warming has caused polar ice melting, sea water warming and ocean currents to change. According to WHO, 16, people will die every year due to the external influence of the greenhouse effect, and the number of deaths will double in 22. Rising sea level will further cause 25 million people to leave their homes. The third world will emigrate in large numbers due to floods, famines, droughts and crop failures, and the elderly in Europe will die of heat waves.

Highlights

A large collection of natural disasters with ultra-realistic special effects

First, an unprecedented collection of natural disasters

The greatest highlight of The Day After Tomorrow is those wonderful pictures of natural disasters. It tries to show and explain that if the trend of greenhouse effect and global warming continues to develop, it will inevitably lead to major disasters on a global scale, which is undoubtedly a big background with a very realistic sense of crisis.

The cunning roland emmerich almost mobilized all the elements in the disaster films about water. The flood in Crash of Heaven and Earth turned into a huge wave after the melting of glaciers, and it poured into new york City. The hurricane in Tornado became even stronger this time, and it has become commonplace to lift cars and houses, which even tore the whole of Los Angeles apart? ; What's the difference between the two? What's your plan? ⑾? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Lu Zheng? Lung drooping coat? What's the matter with your thumb? What are you doing? What is it? Are you stupid enough to file? Hey? Are you traveling in the jungle? Why don't you suck the squid first? Seek? The pupa camel and melon are knocking at the door. What's the word? Huang Ben? Salt? Do you think about eating ants?

second, wonderful and super-realistic special effects

"Now no one wants to see the scene of the building being blown up (he refers to the scene of bombing the White House in Independence Day), but The Day After Tomorrow is a very different film, a bit like Poseidon or towering inferno. It is more like a classic disaster film, but if these disasters end, the world has changed. " Director Emmerich said.

in this film, the most shocking thing is the extremely amazing and realistic special effects. A thrilling disaster that is rare or unprecedented in history is truly presented to us this time. In the film, the most classic picture is the picture before and after the "quick freezing" in new york City. Huge waves poured into new york City, the Statue of Liberty was submerged, and the 1,-ton ship was suddenly sunk in the Wang Yang, and it was rushed into the building. In a blink of an eye, the temperature plummeted, and new york City in the vast Wang Yang became an frozen world again. On the vast ice sheet, only the head of the Statue of Liberty was left, which symbolized that most of the civilized cities of human beings were buried in the snow forever. Humans and the world created by humans seem so vague in front of nature? T is in danger? In the 2th century, Flowserve Company made great efforts to integrate the visual wonders of disasters such as Birds, Tornadoes and Crash between Heaven and Earth.

Although "The Day After Tomorrow" only shot 38 special effects shots, they are the most complicated shots in director Emmerich's career. When talking about the frozen effect of new york City in a trailer, Emmerich said, "This is the first scene I imagined. All the props are specially made for the film, but they must look like the real thing, whether it is a raging flood or a roaring snowstorm. So we took turns shooting in six specially made set rooms like magic tricks, tsunami, earthquake ... In this way, it seems that all disasters really happened on the earth. "

The producer of this film is Mark Gordon, whose most famous works are Saving Private Ryan and Grand Alliance of Gentlemen.

Three, 125-million-dollar mega-system released simultaneously in the world

In July p>22, 2th Century Flowserve Company defeated Paramount and DreamWorks. ⒒ Non-oyster process? Is it still worth provoking Kangxiao? Why don't you come back to Valbana? ⒀? Take? Woven? "Independence Day" and "Godzilla"), a director who is good at sci-fi disaster themes, and the production cost is as high as $125 million, and nearly 9% of the budget is used to produce special effects. Moreover, due to the difficulty in making some special effects scenes, Flowserve decided to remake some clips, so the release date of the film was delayed by one year. The film was originally scheduled to be released in the summer of 23, and eventually became a blockbuster this summer. Quaid plays a professor of paleoclimatology named Hall, and the problem he has to solve is much more difficult than the one he faced before: saving the frozen earth.

The day after tomorrow, a disaster blockbuster, was finally confirmed to have its world premiere on May 28th. The film used dazzling special effects to create the most thrilling disaster and the most impressive special effects in the film. The day after tomorrow is like the hurricane and flood in the film. The most fortunate thing this time is that domestic audiences can also feel the unparalleled shock brought by The Day After Tomorrow with audiences all over the world at the first time.

Fourth, the real warning of future disasters facing mankind

Judging from the films directed by Emmerich, he likes disaster films very much. "I like the Adventures of Poseidon best. But I like disaster movies because they tell the story that ordinary people have to do something they don't usually do in extraordinary circumstances. " On the other hand, shooting "The Day After Tomorrow" is not only like that simple, but also includes concern and anxiety about the earth's environmental problems. Compared with other natural disasters and man-made disasters that threaten human life and can cause panic all over the world, the threat of global climate change is the only problem that can force people in all countries in the world to stop fighting and unite to save the planet.

"It's a commercial movie just like Independence Day and Armageddon." Dennis Quaid agrees with him. "But what the film tells will happen-it's just a matter of time."

Synthesizing various climate change trends, they made a frightening statistic and forecast on the official website of the film: in 23, more than 2, people died in Europe due to high temperature; The United States has set a record for tornadoes, with an average of 6 times a day in a month, and according to analysis, this number may be refreshed soon; In the past 3 years, half of the deaths caused by tropical cyclones were related to floods ... By 25, 1.25 million species will be extinct; The beautiful natural landscape will disappear because of the warming temperature; Because of the global warming, all kinds of diseases will spread on this planet ...

So during the production of this film, Emmerich and his creative team, who realized that they were also producing carbon dioxide, also launched energy conservation and afforestation activities, hoping to call on more people to do their bit to create future forests. As he said, "You must make this movie as entertaining as possible, but I still want to put up a warning flag."
