Act 70: Change of face

Considering that some people are not interested in romantic romance films like "Roman Holiday", Roger also deliberately filmed a film called "Face Change" or "The Two Heroes of Faces". Moreover, this film "Face Change" was completed earlier than "Roman Holiday" and was released in the United States at this time!

In original history, "Face Change" was a wonderful action film directed by John Woo in 1997. Nicholas Cage and John Travota co-starred and staged a wonderful show of acting. John Woo's iconic dove and bullet shots are even more impressive.

This time, Roger is also preparing to change his background. While making money in the cinema, he can also cooperate with "Roman Holiday" to promote Qiongya, which has been greatly changed, to reverse the backward image of the Republic of China in the hearts of Europeans and Americans, and lay the foundation for future plans.

In the original "Face Change", Kester was originally a terrorist. However, the profession of terrorists was not popular during the Republic of China period. It was not the case that any villain in Hollywood movies had to intentionally or unintentionally involve terrorists. Therefore, in order to conform to the characteristics of the times, Kester was set as an opium dealer from the UK.

When he was in the United States, Kester was also engaged in the opium business, but because he was chased by American police, he had to flee to the East to continue his business. Before leaving, he was preparing to deal with the agent Sean who had been against him for the purpose of venting his anger. So he prepared a sniper rifle to snipe Sean, who was playing with his son in the amusement park. However, although the bullet hit Sean, it failed to kill him. Instead, the bullet that penetrated Sean's body would kill his son who was tightly attached to his arms by accident. Sean thus formed an irreconcilable hatred with Kester.

In order to bring Kester to justice and avenge his son, Sean followed Kester's footsteps and immigrated to Qiongya with his family, hoping to arrest him in this new criminal site. At this time, Qiongya officially started a comprehensive anti-drug operation. She was very particular about Sean, an old agent with rich anti-drug experience, and asked him to be a captain in the drug control team, specifically responsible for dealing with British drug dealer Kester. As a result, the plot of "Face Change" was officially transplanted to Qiongya.

As a freelance writer in Los Angeles, McCree has written many kinds of articles, but the most famous of them is his movie reviews, especially when most media in the United States are not optimistic about it. Before the release of "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" he boldly predicted that it would be a successful film, which made him famous in the circle of film critics.

After becoming famous, McCree still maintained his objective and fair commentary style, and often analyzed the success or failure of a film very thoroughly. Even for a movie with praise, he could point out the shortcomings. However, this accusation was convincing. This consistent attitude made him even more famous as "hawkeye" in the circle of film critics, meaning that he had a pair of sharp eyes that could see through all the details.

It is precisely because of his love for "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" and the countless glory this film brings to himself that McCree gradually became interested in the Eastern Kingdom, which created the revolutionary and colorful audio films. He also collected Roger and Qiongya information while watching movies and writing reviews on daily basis.

Originally, as an ordinary person, his understanding of Qiongya about Roger was just a glimpse of the reports on antibiotic x in the newspaper. At that time, McCree had no special feeling.

When he deliberately collected Roger's intelligence, he immediately began to be surprised. A guy who was still unknown a few years ago actually became the head of a province in the Republic of China in just a few years with antibiotic x. In fact, a warlord controlled the life and death of millions of people. This explosive rise is indeed amazing.

What surprised him even more was that Roger seemed to have new products and technologies that he could never finish, and everything was amazing, either amazing creativity or a brand new technology, an advanced technology that neither the old European power nor the emerging power of the United States has mastered!

Relying on new technologies that are generally unthinkable, Roger continues to launch various new products to the market, plucking a lot of money, from the initial antibiotic x to the later nylon stockings, "Dongfeng" Suv cars, to the current AC tube radio and cheap TVs. This makes McCree doubt whether the Oriental boy was God's illegitimate son, otherwise how could he explain how he made so many inventions.

Of course, McCree did not suspect that Roger was an alien or a future person. After all, there was a precedent for a perverted person like Edison. Roger only had such a few new things and was really not too surprised. McCree was just curious why such perverted geniuses appeared in that backward Eastern country.

For all these new technologies and products of Roger, as a person in the film circle, McCree likes the most the technology of full-color audio films, because this brings a revolution to his favorite movies! A complete revolution!

In addition to these well-known new products, McCree believes that Roger must have other good things in his hands, otherwise it will not be explained why he was able to shoot some "supernatural" shots in "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" that are simply unexplainable!

It is precisely because of these fascinating special-effect shots that Stardust Film's "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" has become a strange phenomenon in the world cinemas - other movies will no longer be screened after a period of time or will be transferred to some small cinemas that do not have the ability to buy the latest films, but "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" is different.

Even though it has passed for a long time, and even its follow-up film has been released in the third one, this film is still active in major theaters around the world. Although many people have watched it more than a dozen times and are no longer familiar with its plot, they still want to watch it again. Not only will those small cinemas use it as their own profitable sign, but even some large and medium-sized cinemas will occasionally let the movie come back and bask in the sun. Therefore, although nearly two years have passed, "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" can still bring considerable profits to Roger.

Not only McCree, but also McCree, are extremely curious about the amazing and even obsessed "supernatural" shots in "The Mummy of Tomb Raiders", but all film practitioners in the United States are extremely curious. Everyone wants to know how these shots can appear.

Some of them can be done by means of montage and other means, but more are unexplainable! Hollywood filmmakers undoubtedly put a lot of effort into understanding these secrets, and thus they have also explored a lot of experience in shooting special effects, laying the foundation for the future development of Hollywood movies. However, no one can completely imitate the special effects that are close to "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders".

Not to mention anything else, just the wind-erosion changes of ancient Egyptian gods at the beginning of the movie have stumped everyone.

Since McCree is familiar with the director of "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" and has asked him privately about the secrets, although the other party did not tell him the "business secrets" in the form of usual formulas, he gave him a more desperate answer - all the technology is Roger's secrets, and as a director, he didn't know the key to it at all. Even those "supernatural" shots were not shot by him. He just "put it into the movie" as the finished shots provided by Roger.

Although he was unable to get the ultimate secret of "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders", McCree became more curious about Roger and everything about him. As a result, he was increasingly looking forward to the surprise that Chinese would bring to the film industry again.

As expected, it was not beyond McCrazy's expectations. The next "The Return of the Mummy" launched by Roger's company Stardust Film and Television did not disappoint those who were waiting for it. It was still a gripping storyline and still a gorgeous special effect.

When the Scorpion King was taken away by the God of Death Anubis and formed an oasis in the desert in an instant; when O'Connor and his airship were chased by magically controlled water waves; when Anubis's army of Death condensed from the desert and rushed endlessly towards the army of the descendants of the Pharaoh's guards; when the countless arms extended in the abyss pulled Imoton off hell, McCree was as excited as all the audience.

After "The Return of the Mummy in Tomb Raiders", Stardust Film's third film, "The Tomb Raiders" turned the protagonist to Laura. Although McCree admitted that this was also a classic film, he asked a question in his own reviews - can Stardust Film and Television continue to make good films after leaving the dazzling special effects?

In this question, McCree waited for Stardust Film and Television's fourth movie "Face Change".

"face/off? This name is really strange." McCree sat in a good seat as a special guest at the premiere, and the person sitting next to him was still the old friend who sat next to him at the premiere of "The Mummy of the Tomb Raiders" - film critic Stephen.

After a brief speech, the movie began, which was also the convention at that time - I will talk about everything until the movie is over.

The first thing that appeared was a four-pointed star that passed through the screen. After sliding around the screen with the four-pointed star, the four Chinese characters "Star Dust Film and Television" gradually emerged.

"Haha, my dear Stephen, do you know how to pronounce these four Chinese characters now? Come on, read them with me, xing-chen-ying-shi." Before the movie officially began, McCree played a joke with his old friend when he saw this scene. He still remembered that when Stephen first saw this scene, he complained that the name of the Chinese character was unrecognizable.

Stephen naturally didn't want to pay attention to McCree's words, but just pouted in dissatisfaction, and then focused on the big screen.

Although Stephen didn't say anything, McCree knew that this guy actually asked a university Chinese scientist for the four words of the name of the film company after he went back. No matter how much a famous film critic said, he didn't know the meaning of the name of the most famous film company in the world. This is too embarrassing.

As the music started, the movie officially began, and McCree also focused his attention on the movie.

Strangely, the opening of this "Face Change" does not look like the style of Stardust Film and Television in the "Grave Robbers" series. It does not use any gorgeous special effects, it just narrates the story in a plain way.

"Is that Oriental in this movie "Face Change" not going to continue playing special stunts?" McCree was puzzled, and the progress of the subsequent film seemed to confirm his idea.

As the scene of the movie moved to Qiongya, Agent Sean and his team members appeared in the police station. As the camera went on, in the rooms with bright floor-to-ceiling windows, the office spaces separated by telephone lines and grinding glass and the serious policeman instantly refreshed the audience in the theater.

In previous movies, although the image of Chinese people has been greatly improved, the image of the Republic of China is still at the stage where sewage is rampant and bandits are everywhere. No one thinks there is anything modern there, although there are already many modern technology products produced by Qiongya in the homes of European and American audiences.

But the police office that appeared in the movie at this time was so trendy. Its method of dividing office space and floor-to-ceiling window-like layout are hard to see even New York.

Neat, bright, and trendy. This is the audience's evaluation of the Qiongya Police Station in the movie! Is this the backward and dirty Republic of China? The audience couldn't help but start to doubt their views - the reason why they did not suspect that the movie was fake was because the host said long before the opening that the movie was all filmed on the spot, and the locations in the movie appeared in Qiongya are real!

Therefore, the police station that looks even more beautiful than ordinary rich families is actually from that Eastern country!

And when Kester disguised as a pastor in the scene of a church security bomb, McCree saw Kester jumping up flamenco in the song of the Messiah, and openly a choir girl.

"This madman!" Stephen, who was sitting next to McCree, couldn't help but whisper, but he had to admit that this plot did make Kester's image clear, because this blasphemy was carried out before God, fully demonstrating that the devil had no faith in the heart.

Compared to Stephen, McCree not only saw the main plot of the movie, but also noticed one of the details - a picture flashed in the movie shot, and the nameplate of the church carved it and it was built half a year ago.

Why did such a gorgeous Christian church be built in Qiongya? This is really strange to an Eastern country, because in McCree's impression, most of them did not believe in Christ.

In fact, this church, Roger, was not built for locals, and there were not many religious believers in Qiongya and even the entire Guangdong Province. Although the Chinese people at this time were superstitious, they were more of a utilitarian belief, that is, they believed in which god they believed in if they could bring more benefits to themselves. This church, Roger, was built specifically for foreigners who would immigrate to Qiongya in the future. How can we attract immigrants without complete supporting facilities?

Next, as the plot of the movie progressed gradually, and finally, with the repeated secrets from informants, Sean finally had the opportunity to arrest him personally, and brought them to justice before Kestroy and his brother fled. In this set of shots, the "Dongfeng" Suv was once again in the limelight, and the plane Kestroy was on was a civilian version of the bomber prototype produced by Qiongya imitating the Doniel Do-17 "Flying Pencil".

After a gunfight, Kesterroy was unconscious due to being seriously injured. Sean originally thought that everything was over, but unexpectedly, he learned from Kester's younger brother that before being arrested, Kester's powerful bomb had been placed in a public place with a large number of people. No matter how the police force him to ask, Kester's younger brother would rather die than tell the location of the bomb. Just when he was at a loss, Sean's chief proposed a "face-changing" plan - that is, through the magical high-tech plastic surgery of Oriental Pharmaceutical, he exchanged the appearance of Sean and Kesterroy, and then let Sean, who pretended to be Kesterroy, go to prison, making Kester's younger brother think that his brother's injury was cured and imprisoned him to tell the location of the bomb. After gaining his trust, he tricked him into telling him about the location of the bomb.

Of course, since there was no such artifact as computer during the Republic of China—the modern products used by Roger and others did not include—the bomb was changed to a clock to detonate.

The explanation for "face change" is naturally impossible to use the magical laser cutting, special material masks, etc. in the movie. The explanation given by Roger here is the leading technology of Oriental Pharmaceutical and the so-called disguise technology of the so-called human skin mask that often appears in martial arts movies. After the combination of the two, this so-called "face change" technology was born.

Naturally, this technology is still very unreliable and cannot be explained. However, the audience will not be confused about such trivial things. All they care about is whether the plot of the movie is attractive, and only some more real film critics will complain about this.

And then, when Sean sneaked into prison, things went beyond his expectations.
