The movie was still going on.
Lu Zhiyao returned to his capsule after 'taking a breather' for three hours and continued his boring daily life.
At the beginning, he used a lot of space to describe some details of his future life, such as relief meals, expensive snacks, and variety shows that allowed him to guess, and so on.
Lu Zhiyao's performance in this section was just right. He was just a poor person at the bottom of society who was controlled by these simple emotions.
He would happily celebrate when he earned money from watching TV shows.
He would be incompetent and furious when he guessed that he would lose everything.
Sometimes, he would feel empty and hopeless. He would lie motionless in his capsule.
At other times, he would look at the tempting advertisements and the upper-class life in the distant skyscrapers with endless envy.
There were all kinds of advertisements on TV shows. Although they only appeared in the background, they were still very carefully filmed.
Lin Ruyi appeared and gradually established a relationship with the protagonist. Then, she proposed to participate in a talent show …
…
Pei Qian was very familiar with the subsequent plot because he had written the entire plot outline. Moreover, he had already watched the rough cut version of the video.
However, he still could not help but immerse himself in the movie as he watched. His emotions were completely led away by the movie.
The excellent editing made the length of each plot just right. At the same time, it allowed the audience to quickly move their emotions to the next part of the plot.
The actors' superb acting skills allowed the vivid characters to be perfectly presented on the big screen, causing the audience to have a strong emotional resonance.
The excellent background music set off the emotions very well. The audience's emotions were induced to be highly consistent with those in the movie.
The exquisite props and expensive external special effects gave the entire movie a unique sci-fi vibe. At the same time, it created a sense of alienation from the real world. At the same time, there was a wonderful sense of realism as if the movie was showing a real future world.
That was the magic of film and television.
A simple story outline was ultimately pale and weak. Once it was filmed into a movie, a lot of details would be added. At the same time, it would be stimulated by multi-dimensional audio-visual senses, giving people a whole new feeling.
These details were so perfect that even the advertisements in the movie didn't feel like they were out of character. In fact, it even made people feel that many advertisements with unclear meanings were quite interesting!
Pei Qian stuttered as he stuffed popcorn into his mouth. There was only one thought in his mind.
Am I the one who wrote this script???
The story outline was similar to what he had written, but the result was completely different from what he had imagined!
The first half of the story didn't seem like much, but halfway through the story, the whole story suddenly took a sharp turn, revealing its ferocious fangs!
Lin Ruyi and Lu Zhiyao's showdown caused everyone in the cinema to gasp.
Obviously, many of the audience were shocked by this development and found it hard to accept it.
However, the scene that Pei Qian had imagined did not happen.
Instead, everyone looked down even more seriously!
Even Pei Qian himself did not feel angry or poisoned at all. He only looked forward to the development of the plot in shock.
Immediately, he realized that there was a huge problem here.
That shouldn't be the case. Why am I not angry when I see this scene?
Wasn't this supposed to be a very toxic plot?
After stuffing another handful of popcorn into his mouth, Pei Qian tried his best to analyze the reason for this emotion.
It seemed to be because the movie created a unique sense of alienation.
In the beginning, the movie spent a lot of time describing the protagonist's daily life, including him eating fast food, watching exciting television programs, wandering aimlessly on the streets in the early hours of the morning, and so on.
However, this did not deepen the audience's sense of immersion. Instead, the audience's vision was completely stripped away, and they became irrelevant bystanders.
During the filming process, the camera gave the audience the feeling of a surveillance camera, looking down coldly and emotionlessly at the male protagonist's life in this world.
The sweetness of the male and female protagonist's love was dispelled, and the pain of the breakup was naturally dispelled as well. This method allowed the audience to feel the protagonist's emotional fluctuations, but it seemed to be separated by a layer of mirror, and it would not cause too much emotional fluctuations in their hearts.
Pei Qian suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
Movies were a form of artistic expression, but if the same script was given to different directors to shoot, they could produce completely different works!
That was because during the filming process, the director would constantly add 'personal goods', filming techniques, various details in the movie, the rhythm of the story …
All of these would affect the audience's perception of a story.
That was the reason why some seemingly boring scripts, after being shot by directors with strong personal styles, would become classics in the history of film!
Obviously, Zhu Xiaoce's understanding of the story was completely different from Pei Qian's original intention …
The director obviously filmed according to his own understanding, so after editing and post-production, the entire movie had completely deviated from the original meaning that Pei Qian wanted to express.
The original 'toxicity' was mostly dispelled, and in its place was a kind of heartfelt pity.
What the female protagonist did was very despicable, but the audience could not bring themselves to hate her.
The male protagonist was clearly very miserable and stupid, but the audience was only left with a kind of faint sympathy for him. They mourned his misfortune and were angry at his incompetence.
When the male protagonist finally obtained a huge amount of wealth and seemed to become an upper-class person, the audience was not happy for him. Instead, they could clearly feel that he had lost himself.
The audience's perception of the male protagonist instantly became unfamiliar. They could feel that he had completely lost himself in the vortex of materialism and money.
Wealth did not make him superior. Instead, it controlled his life, turning him into a pitiful worm.
In the end, the male protagonist played by Lu Zhiyao was schemed against by the judge played by Zhang Zuting. He lost his reputation and owed a huge debt. He lay in bed like a living dead.
On the big screen, the woman chosen by the judge to replace him was doing almost the same thing as him. The story seemed to have entered a cycle of despair …
The screen turned black.
That was the end of the movie.
The ending song started. There was a different kind of sadness and desolation in the song.
This was originally the song that the female protagonist played by Lin Ruyi sang when she participated in the talent show. She had been ruthlessly mocked and ridiculed by the judges, saying that she was tone-deaf. At that time, it did not leave a very deep impression on the audience.
However, after the ending song was played, the singing of the song seemed to have changed slightly. When the two versions were compared, there was an additional indescribable meaning.
Pei Qian looked at the audience in the theater.
What's going on? Isn't this ending poisonous enough?
Shouldn't you be standing up and shouting for a refund?
Or, at the very least, making sounds like 'tsk' or 'what the heck', right? '
However, the entire theater was still silent. No one stood up, and no one made a sound.
There was a list of the cast members.
Pei Qian realized that his name had been placed first on the scriptwriter's list. There was another line, and it even said 'special thanks'.
This did not comfort Boss Pei, who felt a chill in his heart.
The first Easter egg was a judge played by Zhang Zuting. He was leisurely enjoying his vacation in his own mansion. He swirled his red wine glass, and the dark red wine reflected the judge's face.
The woman sitting opposite him was wearing heavy makeup. She was the emcee that the judge had chosen to replace Lu Zhiyao after he lost his reputation.
However, police sirens suddenly sounded outside. In the midst of the chaos, the woman frantically stood up and walked out. The judge stood up in a panic. The red wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and the shards flew everywhere.
After a while, the judge did not return.
The female emcee, who had looked very flustered just now, returned to her seat, poured some red wine into another undamaged glass, and downed it in one gulp.
The camera finally stopped on her delicate red lips. The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
There was another list of the cast members.
The second Easter egg was still in the male protagonist's capsule.
The male protagonist's posture did not change. However, his hair and beard had become very long, and the wrinkles on his face hinted that a long time had passed.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. The alarm sounded.
With a 'bang', the door of the capsule was smashed open. It seemed like someone had thrown something inside and then turned to leave.
Indistinct angry roars could be heard from outside. It seemed like the destitute and the people who had come to maintain order were in a violent conflict.
The male protagonist walked to the door in a daze and realized that it was a blood-stained handgun.
…
With a 'pa' sound, the lights in the theater lit up.
Many people in the audience seemed to have woken up from a dream. They stood up one by one.
The audience did not complain or curse. Instead, they all fell silent. It seemed like they had not completely broken free from the emotions brought about by the movie.
Some people were also discussing in low voices.
"This movie is amazing … is this really a movie made by a local director?"
"That's right. The hole in the brain and the reversal of the gods. I'm dumbfounded!"
"I don't know why, but I feel a little stifled after watching it …"
"It's quite good as a drama."
"I feel that the plot is quite deep. I don't understand many parts. Let's wait for the movie reviews."
"Lu Zhiyao's acting in this movie is quite good. Surprisingly, he doesn't feel out of place at all!"
The couple sitting next to him also stood up and followed the crowd out.
"It's not the romantic movie I imagined, but it's surprisingly good."
"That's right. I think this movie is hinting to us to cherish the people in front of us. Dear, we must take care of ourselves."
"This movie is really touching. I can't stop crying." The girl wiped her tears with a tissue.
She tilted her head slightly to look at the seat next to her and then said in a low voice, "Look, that young man is also moved to tears."
In his seat, Pei Qian silently stuffed potato chips into his mouth, tears streaming down his face.
It's over, this movie is over!
What the hell were the audience's comments about?
'Worth the ticket price'?
'Quite good'?
'Deep plot'?
'Looking forward to the movie reviews'?
What the hell was that?!
The audience had gotten it all wrong!
I just wanted to feed poison to you!
"Burp."
Pei Qian burped as he cried.
He seemed to have eaten too much popcorn …
