The Thieves 2 poster

1905 movie network feature The good news is that the new movie "The Thieves 2" by your Jay Chou, Curly Hair, Potter and the Hulk has been released in North America earlier this month.

　

The bad news is that you won’t be able to see it in China until June 24th.

　

Another piece of good news, the 1905 movie network has poked a bunch of exclusive behind-the-scenes information for you to see how your family is going to play tricks this time.

　

After watching "Amazing Magic Troupe 2", we can say responsibly that director Zhu Haowei has definitely graced the Chinese face. The sequel is better looking and more brain-burning than the first one, lying to you that you are a puppy.

Director Zhu Haowei

In the first, the beloved Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse use magic and illusions to rob the rich and help the poor, and play the FBI like a monkey to become a popular hero. The sequel follows this story and traces the family feud between FBI detective Dylan ("Hulk" Mark Ruffalo) and the "villain" Thaddeus (Morgan Freeman) in the previous episode. The Four Horsemen, who are hunted by the FBI and incognito, take on a new job to expose a tech president’s global new product launch and plan to use this opportunity to see the light of day again.

　

As a result, the action is accidentally disrupted by a more powerful master. Dylan and the Four Horsemen inexplicably come to Macau, meet the mastermind Walter (played by Daniel Radcliffe), and are immediately sent to steal a powerful chip. This action is a matter of life and death for the Four Horsemen, so the plot in Macau and London is very tense, and the characters are also very strange. Did the Hulk and Curly Hair fight? Potter came to persuade him to fight?

　

　

I can only say so much, and there will be spoilers.

Who are the three good students of the magic school?

　

Ella Fischer, the female magician in the first installment, was unable to participate in the filming of the sequel because she was pregnant. The new female member of the Four Horsemen is Liz Capan, the heroine of the American TV series "Masters of Sex".

　

　

This magical girl has a strong taste and belongs to the "Geek Magician", which is the kind of magician who often uses bloody scenes to create magic effects. She cut off her head and hands at the beginning of the scene, and later cut off the head of the white dove, which made the black cat sheriff very sad.

　

1905: How did you land this role?

Liz Capan: I managed to fertilize Ira Fischer and get pregnant, so I managed to kick her out. (Laughter) Hopefully by the time I do the third film, I won’t be pregnant. (Laughter) The fact is, the director David Chu really liked my performance of "Party Crazy," and he came to me and asked if I wanted to do it. It was a dream come true for me, because my selfish desire was to spend a few months with my boyfriend while filming in London.

Liz Capan

　

1905: How did you practice these magic tricks?

Liz Capan: We crammed into a crash course in magic. The so-called magic classroom is actually a conference room. We had classes every day for two weeks before shooting. As you all know, no one can become very skilled at magic in a short time, so our task was to learn "pretend to know magic", such as how my body should bend so that I don’t wear it on camera when my head falls off. The only trick I learned was to let pigeons sleep in my sleeve, which should be practical.

　

1905: Can you tell us the secret of this "trick"?

Liz Capan: Well, you just put the cubes in warm clothing and they fall asleep… and then, if they wake up, you go up and punch them, and the pigeons fall asleep again.

　

1905: You have a scene where you untie your underwear in the air. Please tell me about the filming process.

Liz Capan: In that scene, it was based on the camera position, and it looked like from an angle. I didn’t do it, and the bra buckle came loose. I can now take off the bras of all the women in the room without you noticing. To be honest, even if you don’t know magic, a woman can take off her little underwear in any situation without taking off her clothes. (mischievous laugh)

　

1905: So, what did this magic school teach you?

Liz Capan: Actually, card magic is still the focus of this movie. Dave Franco is very good. After two movies, he really understands card magic. It is the pride of our magic teacher. When other people learn cards, they just throw them around and make the classroom floor full of cards.

　

Jessie Eisenberg: Dave is definitely talented. His fingers are especially dexterous. After a few practice sessions, he will know, unlike us unqualified people.

　

That’s right, cards are indeed a big part of the movie. This card, the four of them threw it for a full ten minutes.

　

　

Dave, who was praised by Liz, also had a romantic scene this time, and the first couple of the Four Horsemen was officially born. Lula, played by Liz Capan, and Jack Sparks, played by Dave Franco, also played mischievously stealing wallets and undoing belts.

　

　

1905: Liz and Jesse both say you’re a card god, right?

Dave Franco: Call me "God", which is too flattering, but I like it~ (laughs) We did think about doing a magic show with four people to promote the movie, but after testing, none of us were at the level of professional card magicians. The skills are terrible, and no one will buy a ticket to see it.

　

1905: In the sequel, your character will also learn hypnotism. Do you believe that people can really be hypnotized?

Dave Franco: I did learn a few tricks from the master hypnotist Keith Berry, and I thought it was too difficult. It requires the hypnotist to have excellent control over his voice, pitch and speed, which are the basic elements of being hypnotized, and I don’t think I can do it in my life. But I do believe that some people can be hypnotized, and I’m a very alert person myself, so hypnosis is not very useful for me.

　

1905: Magic is a technique of deceiving the eye, so to speak. Have you ever been deceived severely?

Dave Franco: Movies are a deceptive trick, haha. Every time I take on a project, I feel confident that I know exactly where the story is going and how the visuals are presented, but every time I see the finished film, I’m stunned. Every time is completely different from what I imagined, so I’ve learned a lot over the years. Some projects can be taken, and some projects are more risky. A movie as interesting as "The Sorcerers", even if it makes 57, I will continue to play it.

　

One night in Macau, who wins and who loses?

　

Marc Ruffalo’s Macao Street Fighter was filmed in a London studio, but the Four Horsemen and Daniel Radcliffe both went to Macau. When everyone thought they were setting off a casino scene, the Four Horsemen’s answer was "We only have a chance to go to the casino on the last night before we leave." Radcliffe, who has a relatively small role, had the opportunity to gamble everywhere.

Macau stills of the film

1905: What did you see in Macau? What did you do?

Liz Capan: Macau is the craziest city I’ve ever seen. At first glance, it’s a Las Vegas; at second glance, it looks like Portugal; at second glance, it’s completely Chinese. I don’t know, the world is amazing! Macau was our last stop, and everyone was severely sleep-deprived and didn’t have time for jet lag, so everyone was sleepwalking, and this feeling is the most suitable for Macau, because it’s amazing.

　

Jessie Eisenberg: Las Vegas + China + Portugal = Macau. The culture of this place is very special, and the atmosphere is very suitable for the whole story. When the Four Horsemen came to Macau, they didn’t know where they were. It just so happens that in Macau, we all feel like we are in the clouds. On the other hand, the story says that Macau is one of the origins of magic, which explains why Daniel Radcliffe’s villain magician came here, and the Four Horsemen are familiar with the background of the magicians in the Macau circus, so it makes sense.

　

Liz Capan: Probably the biggest headache for the crew is Woody Harrelson’s diet, which only eats raw vegetables and fruits, so in Macau, it’s quite embarrassing.

　

Jess Eisenberg: Being a vegetarian in China is difficult, but luckily I can say "no meat, thank you" in Chinese.

　

　

1905: Did you take a gamble?

Liz Capan: After our last day of filming, we went out and played Daniel Radcliffe’s favorite, a card called "Baccarat," and I remember I seemed to win a little bit, but I had no idea how I did it because I didn’t even know the rules.

　

Woody Harrelson: I always lose every bet, so I’ve always been careful to take what I see. As a result, there were too many casinos in Macau, so I won some small money. On the way back, I went into a few more casinos and lost.

　

Dave Franco: There was so much to play with that I didn’t have time to look at it. With so much cash in my pocket, I made a bet and was ready to lose and leave. In the end, I probably won ten dollars.

　

In front of Jay Chou, Harry Potter is not even a coffee!

　

　

Zhou Dong’s appearance was very calm, and the English of "Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Li" was also a bunker.

　

When interviewing four foreign stars, their eyes lit up every time Jay Chou was mentioned.

　

JESSIE EISENBERG: I guess Jay is a perfectionist, and he wants to be the best at whatever he does. I only knew he was the Michael Jackson of China, but I didn’t expect him to be so dedicated and good at acting on set. To be honest, I guessed that this Asian Jackson couldn’t act, but I was wrong. He was also very good at funny in English, very accurate in details, and sometimes improvised.

Mark Ruffalo and Jay Chou for a photo

Mark Ruffalo: I’m a fan of him, to be honest. For me, Jay Chou is the Elvis Presley of Asia. He is very funny and stylish, and I especially enjoy working with musicians, who always bring unexpected surprises to movies.

　

Liz Capan: I was looking forward to working with the world-class child actor "Harry Potter" at first, and when I learned how famous Jay Chou was, Daniel Radcliffe was directly turned into a piece of dust.

　

Woody Harrelson: When I left Macau, the person I most wanted to take with me was Jay Chou!

　

Director Zhu Haowei said that Jay Chou also directed the Hulk’s Chinese lines at the scene, but unfortunately, when the great god Morgan Freeman opened his mouth, the standard and vicissitudes of the pronunciation directly turned the Hulk’s Chinese into Meow Xingyu. Zhu Haowei was surprised that Director Chou knew magic and was so skilled. The magic shot in the movie that did not need to use the camera to "deceive" the audience came from "Director Chou" Jay Chou, which surprised the director. Everyone can look forward to it.

　

Zhu Haowei, who has also filmed music videos, said that he thought he would direct the filming of the theme song, but when he learned that Jay Chou had been directing and acting in the music video, he gave up the idea directly. As the global theme song of "The Magic Group 2", Jay Chou’s "Now You See Me" was the first Chinese global theme song to appear in a Hollywood movie.

　

And finally, the coolest shot of Jesse with his curly hair.

　　According to the British media "Mirror", British technologist Ian Wilson claims to have found the crashed MH370 passenger plane on Google Maps, lying quietly in the jungle of Cambodia.

　　Many netizens searched based on the Google Maps coordinates provided by Wilson (12.089059, 104.151882), and indeed saw the same image.

　　But is this really MH370, which has been missing for four and a half years? Suspicions abound, and so far there is no conclusive evidence to confirm this claim.

　 　 　 　In fact, this is not the first time someone has claimed to have found MH370 on Google Maps.

　　Off the coast of Padang, Indonesia

　　According to the British media "Daily Star", in July this year, some netizens posted a screenshot of Google Maps on social networking sites, pointing out that the picture depicted the crashed passenger plane MH370, which crashed off the coast of Padang, Indonesia.

　　The news quickly spread, and many people believed it to be true. According to Xingzhou.com, Eddie, the head of the Indonesian Padang Disaster Management Committee, then "refuted the rumor", saying that the pictures posted online showed traces of posting productin, and the Indonesian government had never received relevant information.

　　Near the Round Island of Mauritius

　　According to Fox News, in March this year, Australian amateur air crash investigator Peter McMahon said that he had carefully studied Google Maps and confirmed that the wreckage of MH370 was located 16 kilometers south of Round Island in Mauritius in the southwestern Indian Ocean. He has given the information to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and also claims that the fuselage of the plane is full of bullet holes.

　　A spokesperson for Australia’s Joint Agency Coordination Centre said McMahon contacted the Australian Transport Safety Bureau via Facebook and email in 2016 and 2017, but the date of sending the pictures was November 6, 2009, four years before MH370 disappeared.

　　South Africa’s Cape Coast

　　According to the Daily Mail, in March 2016, Scott Waring, editor of the daily UFO sighting newspaper, reported that while searching for UFO sightings on Google Maps, he had accidentally found the wreckage of a plane suspected to be MH370 off the coast of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

　　Mr. Waring said the satellite photo, taken on June 27, 2015, was 16 months away from the accident, and that it was most likely to have drifted there, based on Australian models of currents that floated MH370. But no debris was found in the area in subsequent searches.

　　The Operational Secrets Behind Google Maps

　　Since the disappearance of MH370, almost the whole world has been actively searching, and many ordinary people also want to do their part. Google Maps has become one of the most efficient search tools.

　　According to British technology media Stuff, Google Maps spokeswoman Susan Cadrecha said that Google occasionally captures some difficult-to-explain images, especially objects moving at high speed underwater, such as fish, water currents, etc., which may form an airplane-like outline and give people the illusion.

　　However, Google Maps does capture "special effects images" of real aircraft.

　　A plane appears to have landed on a rooftop in central Adelaide, Australia.

　　It looks like a plane is parked in the yard of a family in Paraguay.

　　Forbes reported that Google Maps uses multiple satellite images to map the world, and satellites occasionally capture aircraft in flight, which may give users the above-mentioned bizarre images.

　　Google Maps’ satellite imagery is sourced from DigitalGlobe, a US commercial space imagery and geospatial content provider, whose Earth Imaging Satellite is capable of capturing 30-centimeter resolution images.

　　Each of DigitalGlobe’s satellites orbits the Earth 16 times a day and can collect 3 million square kilometers of imagery. Working around the clock, these satellites have long amassed a wealth of data that powers Google Maps.

　　In addition, Google has hired a special team to manually check and correct maps using an internal program called "Atlas." Operators not only check for problems reported by tens of thousands of users every day, but also fix them as needed.

　　Google Maps’ "Scientific Open Way"

　　As well as providing users with navigation, Google Maps has long been a "professional assistant" for explorers and archaeologists.

　　Google Maps was first used by an Italian programmer to discover historic sites. He discovered an ancient Roman manor more than 2,000 years ago. Since then, Google Maps has become a weapon for many archaeologists.

　　Last October, archaeologists discovered 400 mysterious stone gates estimated to be 9,000 years old in a remote desert in Saudi Arabia using Google Maps.

　　David Kennedy, a professor at the University of Western Australia who led the study, said he was contacted by a Saudi doctor with an interest in history who spotted the spectacle on Google Maps. The area is a "hellscape" without vegetation or water, so it has not been explored before.

　　The high-resolution images are "democratizing" archaeological research, Mr. Kennedy said.

　　In May of this year, a British butterfly scientist named Julian Bayliss discovered the last "secret garden" on Earth with the help of Google Maps.

　　According to the technology media The Verge, Belize used Google Maps to observe the African rainforest for 15 years. In 2012, he found a volcano-like mountain range between Mabu and Namuri mountains in northern Mozambique.

　　After six years of observation and research, Belize led an expedition into this pristine tropical rainforest in northern Mozambique. The reason why it is called the last mysterious garden on earth is because of its steep terrain and 700 meters above the ground, which keeps this rainforest the most pristine ecology.

　　In fact, ordinary people can also use Google Maps to start their own exploration and archaeological journey. Google Earth also added an "Explorer" tool last year, which contains introductions from experts in various fields to help you rediscover this wonderful world.

Haruki Murakami said this in the book "What do I talk about when I talk about running":

Every time I see this pastoral chicken soup, my mind can’t help but flash out:

The wonderful running posture I saw in the gym in those years.

Like this:

▽

▽

▽

Especially the last one! !

This kind of person’s posture is not only dramatic, but also the whole process must be accompanied by the loud noise of "pa pa pa".

Although running looks simple, you should be serious!

First of all, adjust your posture before starting, hold your chest high, raise your head and abdomen.

This posture correction looks like this on the treadmill.

The sense of professionalism will come out at once, but you have to keep it all the time.

Because some friends run and relax because of their bad physical habits, it will become like this …

The correct running posture should be like this:

Keep the upper body straight, lean forward slightly as a whole, make a fist with both hands, and the big arm drives the body to swing rhythmically.

If you have a pairThe damping effect is particularly good.You can find the ground with your heel, but don’t be too heavy. Otherwise, it will hurt your knees and there will be hidden dangers of injury.

The correct running posture should be the forefoot landing, or the whole foot landing.

Be careful, don’t think it’s running on tiptoe.

If you want to lose weight on the treadmill, practice your physical fitness by the way.

Then this running posture is enough for you to complete the training safely.

What do you think running to warm up is?

Walk at a speed of 4 on the treadmill for a while?

Start running when you get a little sweaty? ?

All wet.

Running is not just about swinging back and forth on two legs, you need your ass.

How to "wake up" your ass during warm-up?

It is enough to use these three tricks on the treadmill.

▽

It can reduce the pressure of knee joint as much as possible and strengthen the strength of quadriceps femoris.

Strengthen hip muscles by maintaining a semi-squat posture.

Action 2: The treadmill walks sideways.

▽

Activate the hip and strengthen the stability of the hip joint.

Exercise the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus to make the buttocks fuller and rounder.

Action 3: Treadmill walks alternately.

▽

Improve the flexibility of hip joint and strengthen the core abdominal muscles.

Strengthen the flexibility of ankle joint and reduce the risk of sprained ankle.

In fact, many students who claim to have "lost their knees" are just scaring themselves.

Have you ever seen what it’s like to run a broken knee?

It’s like this.

This is running away from your knees, and every step will hurt.

So, if every time you finish running, you just feel sore and uncomfortable in your knees the next day, and then you will recover after two days’ rest, then it’s not a big problem at all, just iliopsoas syndrome.

Buy a foam shaft and learn to relax with me.

▽

Put the foam shaft on the outside of the thigh, then press down the weight of your whole body, support the ground with the other leg, and rub back and forth.

If you roll to a very, very painful point, and the pain is the same as my expression in the picture above, then you are doing the right thing.

Repeat rolling for 40 seconds and then change legs, and then repeat rolling for 40 seconds.

▽

In addition to the relaxation of the iliac meridian tract, our thigh roots have to be stretched.

Lunge forward to leg press, straighten your upper body, slowly turn your body, feel the stretching of your thighs and hips, take five deep breaths, and continue on the other side.

You can do the above two moves alternately after running.

▽

Kneel your legs on the foam shaft, support your upper body, and press the weight on the front side of your calf to crush the foam shaft.

If you show the same expression as me, it’s basically that you’ve found the pain point and just keep running over it.

In addition to relaxing the fascia, you also need to strengthen the muscles in the front of your calf and let him help you every time you run.

First lie on the yoga mat and do a hip bridge posture, then hook your toes forward for about 5 seconds, put them down, and then repeat.

From the knee to the calf, there is another part! !

▽

The soles of the feet hurt when running, which is probably plantar fasciitis.

For this kind of disease, you can practice the skill of catching towels when you are free at ordinary times. You can catch towels with a sense of ceremony as shown in the picture above.

You can also throw the towel on the ground and then "catch" it with your feet.

It’s very Buddhist to feel tired every time you scratch your feet.

"10-20-30 training method"It is a very simple but efficient method.

According to a research report in Scandinavian Sports Medicine and Science, compared with normal runners, ordinary fans who use this training method have a very high training level after 8 weeks.

Running must challenge yourself and refuse to be bored.
