The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 122 Magical Change "Source Code"
In the original film, the military, or the source code project backed by the military, was the second-largest villain after the bomber.

And in the plot at the end, there is even a hint that the doctor who designed the source code may be the biggest boss. He even expects more terrorist attacks, so that the source code project can have more room to play.

In the eyes of the person in charge of the source code project, the male protagonist is purely a tool man. After completing the task of tracking down the bomber, he also wants to delete the memory of the male protagonist so that he can continue to shine in subsequent missions.

In the end, the male protagonist persuaded the female officer to risk going to court-martial to violate the orders of her superiors, so that the male protagonist’s surviving body in the real world fell into a peaceful sleep of death, and the consciousness of the male protagonist could thus be created in the parallel world created by the source code. freedom in the world.

Obviously, setting the military, or at least a source code project that is closely related to the military, as a villain in the Chinese version is absolutely unworkable.

Therefore, the last part of the female officer's disobedience and the physical death of the male protagonist had to be deleted.

In fact, Chen Jingxing thought from the bottom of his heart that it would be better to delete it. The female officer who had never met before would go to court-martial to disobey orders for the sake of the hero. The motive was too far-fetched. When you waged war against other countries, you never saw the Virgin Mary Come disobedient, this setting is too inconsistent.

It's not that you can't show kindness, but the original film is obviously insufficient.

In this version shot by Chen Jingxing, the military of the Republic and the hero are on the same side from beginning to end.

At the very beginning, the reason why the female officer was vague about the male protagonist, avoiding questions, and unwilling to reveal the truth, was because the male protagonist realized that he was dead, which would affect his brain function and cause problems in the operation of the source code.

But with the emotional instability of the male protagonist, and gradually approaching the truth in the source code world, the female officer still confessed all the truth to the male protagonist after asking her superiors for instructions.

And the military did not erase the memory of the male protagonist and let him continue to be a tool man. After all, the male protagonist is an air force pilot who died in a training crash and has been posthumously awarded as a martyr. If it is not really desperate and it is related to the lives of millions of people Safety, the military is actually unwilling to activate the source code so that the martyrs will not rest in peace.

There is no doubt that this change will make the film less conflicting in the later stage.

Then the contradictions and conflicts must be made up elsewhere.

After discussing with the screenwriting team, Chen Jingxing decided to make up for the conflict from the terrorist organization.

What is the name of this terrorist organization?Where?Leave everything blank.

It is only assumed that there are three members of the organization who finally carried out this serial terrorist attack.

And all three are on this train, waiting for the final death to come.

In this way, the hero's pursuit of the real murderer in the source code world will be divided into three scenes, which will also produce three times the conflict of the original version.

When the hero thought he had caught the real culprit who planted the bomb on the train, the real culprit revealed that he was just a member of a terrorist organization and he was only responsible for planting the bomb, but he didn't know how to stop the countdown of the bomb on the train, and There are other members of the train who have different divisions of labor but have never met each other.

This news shocked the male protagonist and the military behind him. With the cooperation of the military, the male protagonist found a second member of a terrorist organization on the train. The password, but he is only responsible for setting the countdown to the train bomb. He did not place the radioactive explosive device in the city. Only the third person on the train inside the organization knows the details of the bomb.

And this third person is his upline and the person in charge of planning the entire terrorist incident.

Then the male protagonist suddenly discovered the truth by chance. It turned out that the history teacher possessed by his consciousness is the biggest boss, and he himself is the third person of the terrorist organization on this train!

It turns out that I am the real murderer!
The dramatic contradiction caused by this reversal is enough to fill the conflict plot between the protagonist and the military in the original version, and it is more than enough.

But the consciousness of this body is dead, and what is left is only the male protagonist's physical body descended in the source code world. At the same time, he does not know the password of this body's mobile phone, so he cannot find any clues in the mobile phone, even if he gets off the car to find It is not something that can be done within 8 minutes for the repair shop to crack the password.

This turned the whole incident into a deadlock, and the military fell into despair. The hero asked the military to give him another chance.

In another 8 minutes, the male protagonist was no longer in a hurry to deal with the terrorist suspects, but fell into a warm and pleasant conversation with the female protagonist.

And this is also the last change of the male lead's relationship with the female lead set by Chen Jingxing.

The female protagonist and the history teacher possessed by the male protagonist are colleagues. During the conversation with the girl, the male protagonist found clues to the mobile phone password specially set by the real murderer.

After opening the phone with the password, he finally found clues to the radioactive bomb in the city.

In this way, the peaks and turns will turn, and the willows will be dark and the flowers will be bright.

This is the last twist of the plot.

The latter is similar to the original version. The hero informs the military of the clues, and the military finds the explosive device in the real world city and eliminates the threat.

After entering the source code repeatedly, the male protagonist also realized that the source code does not seem to be as simple as the 8-minute rollback described by the military, so he asked the military to let him enter the source code world for the last time, and after 8 minutes Stop his life support for his crippled body in the real world and let him die.

The military naturally readily agreed.

Then the male lead and the female lead continued after a kiss paused.

At this time, the audience will also suddenly realize that the original source code is another parallel world, not just a so-called memory rollback.

Of course, in this Chinese version of the source code, Chen Jingxing still left a few buttons.

For example, why are members of terrorist organizations willing to die safely on the train?

Since he is not even afraid of death, why would he reveal the information he knows after being caught and subdued by the protagonist?
Why does the history teacher possessed by the protagonist, who is also the leader of the terrorist attack, record the installation location of the radioactive bomb in his mobile phone, so that after the protagonist breaks the mobile phone password, he can easily stop his subsequent terrorist attack plan in the city? .

Why does the military seem to know nothing about the source code and just think it's an 8-minute rollback?
In fact, in the magic reform setting, the source code itself is a machine that creates parallel worlds, and this machine was invented by the terrorist organization that planned the bombing, and the machine in the hands of the military was seized from this terrorist organization , but the military was misled by it, thinking it was just an 8-minute rollback, which could only be used to solve cases.

In other words, the so-called "real world" where terrorist attacks occur is already a parallel world created by terrorist organizations using source code.

Terrorist organizations use the source code to enter the parallel world to create terrorist activities, which can explain why their members can die safely, because they, like the protagonist, have consciousness descended into the parallel world.

Terrorist organizations use source codes to descend and create terrorist activities, while the military in the parallel world uses source codes to create other parallel worlds to obtain clues to prevent terrorist activities.

It's a bit like the wall-facers and wall-breakers in the Three-Body Problem.

And this setting Chen Jingxing will leave enough hints in the movie. Viewers and movie fans who have read a lot of movies will definitely find these details and hints, make various interpretations, and make up all kinds of amazing truths.

At the same time, this also leaves an interface for possible sequels. Although the original version of "Source Code" does not have a sequel, it may not be impossible in this plane. When the sci-fi blockbusters in Chen Jingxing's mind are always exhausted, DreamWorks should also have the ability to self-generate blood. .
