In Godzilla II, the members of the Imperial Organization, an organization that studies cryptozoology, will face more giant monsters again, among which the powerful Godzilla will also have a fierce confrontation with its strongest opponent in history, the three-headed dragon king Kidora. It is said that there will be a monster "roster" in the film, including Godzilla, Kidora and other 17 monsters, which will appear in different forms. How to accept such a big monster? What are their selling points? The Beijing News reporter specially prepared interesting popular science before the movie Godzilla 2, interpreted the past life of the Godzilla monster movie universe, presented the unpopular knowledge you didn't know, and interviewed the movie protagonist Zhang Ziyi to talk about her "true feelings" about the monster.
Selling point Godzilla defends the title of "king of monsters"
From 1954, when the first Godzilla film of Japan Dongbao Company was born to the release of Godzilla 2 on 20 19, there were 35 Godzilla films (including 32 films of Japan Dongbao, 3 films of Hollywood: Lenovo and Warner co-produced 2 films; Sony/KOLOC-0/),/KOLOC-0/998 and 20/KOLOC-0/4, two Hollywood films, Godzilla, grossed a total of 800 million dollars worldwide, which shows Godzilla's strong ability to absorb gold.
Godzilla, the king, is back.
Godzilla is a rare intermediate form of marine reptiles and terrestrial mammals living between Jurassic and Cretaceous. It looks like a giant lizard. It is 50-300 meters high and weighs over 20,000 tons-65,438+million tons. It lives on the bottom of the sea all the year round, feeds on natural radioactive substances, uses strong front paws and tails in battle, and can spray energy from its mouth in the form of blue radiation hotline when making its unique moves. Its destructive power is immeasurable. In Godzilla, the previous work of 20 14, Godzilla defeated a pair of monsters Wu Teng in San Francisco and returned to the ocean to recuperate. Godzilla's return this time will face more, bigger and fiercer monsters. How to defend the title of "the king of monsters" is the biggest attraction.
Godzilla's battle with Guidola, who has three dragons, for "the king of monsters" will be the biggest attraction of this film.
In Godzilla 2, Godzilla, Raton and Mosla, as well as the "Four Kings" in the world of the three dragons, appeared in the form of melee for the first time, just like the setting in the Japanese movie "Three Monsters: 1964, the biggest decisive battle on earth". The whole film sets up five completely different monster fierce battles, which perfectly presents their great lethality. The biggest challenge of a monster movie is to present the monster realistically with technology. Michael dougherty, the director of the film, told the Beijing News reporter that the whole film uses preemptive shooting technology to capture and restore monsters through action, and only Guidola's three heads have found three actors to "star". In order to create a super monster universe, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures will "hint" at the end of the film. One of the protagonists in the next movie will be King Kong, the owner of Skull Island, who has developed into a monster more than 90 meters high, paving the way for two super-popular monsters (Godzilla vs Kong) to be released in 2020.
Godzilla vs Kong is expected to be released in 2020.

The director himself also revealed in the interview that the setting of these giant monsters also has a source. "They are the source of all our legends of dragons and behemoths. There are creatures from the Bible and ancient Greek mythology. Our assumption is that they are not fairy tales, they are real. They are portrayed as gods and are dissatisfied with what humans have done on their planet. " According to the list of 17 monsters in the screenshot, here is a list of 12 monsters that are relatively strange recently, and a brief introduction is given.

Dialogue 2 Zhang Ziyi also wants to do a sequel.
Why is Zhang Ziyi willing to play a supporting role in the monster universe? In her view, this is not a "soy sauce", but a challenging role. She said, "this role is not so easy to master, and it has some challenges for me;" Of course, there is another main reason, that is, I don't know how this Hollywood monster movie was completed. I think it's meaningful to go through it once. Most of the time, I am communicating with Green Screen. Before I went, I thought Godzilla would definitely appear in front of me, but I found it after reading it. "

Beijing News: The role of doctor is similar to that played by China actors in previous Hollywood movies. For example, Li Bingbing's "Mystery Nest" should be replaced by other actors?
Zhang Ziyi: I got a message that I was asked to play Godzilla II, and then I thought, "Can I play Godzilla?" It seems that I can only play for my daughter at home. In fact, I was quite resistant at first, and I didn't think it was interesting to appear in Hollywood movies. I never want to be a boring character, wasting time and making me feel useless. But this role does give me a lot of space. It's not just Zhang Ziyi and this face. She is really directly related to China. I don't think she is a simple role.
Beijing News: Did you cut your hair short this time? Are you satisfied with the new appearance?
Zhang Ziyi: Yes, I also put forward this idea, because I think she is very capable of cutting short hair, which will be different.
Beijing News: Many boys especially like monster movies, so how can a girl like such an ugly monster? Were you a fan of the monster movie before you joined it?
Zhang Ziyi: Just go with the boyfriend you love (laughs). In fact, monster movies are not simply monster wars, and there are many humanistic concerns in the movies. Frankly speaking, I haven't seen it before, but I'm a Godzilla fan now. If I continue to shoot the third and fourth films, I still want to act.
Interestingly, it is an underwater gorilla.
Jaws King Kong?
In Japanese, the word Godzilla is composed of gorillas and whales. To some extent, it means a gorilla from the bottom of the sea.
How to shoot the earliest Godzilla?
In the first edition of Godzilla, Godzilla is a model made of concrete and weighs 63kg. Two senior stuntmen, Haruo Nakajima and Katsumi Tezuka, alternately entered the model to complete the monster performance. They need to learn the posture and movements of monsters, but also endure the sultry and heavy model. Godzilla's roar is to rub the strings with resin-coated gloves and then slow down the performance.
First generation height
Godzilla was 50 meters high in the early generation, because this height can overlook all the buildings in Tokyo at that time.
