The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 140 Watching a Movie Can Drive People Crazy
Li Zihao strung together the entire clues in a flash, and was amazed by the film's sophisticated clue setting, but most of the audience did not connect the clues.

Li Zihao was able to quickly connect the whole clue because the face that appeared in the hospital was too familiar. Although he didn't know the actor's name, he had appeared in "Comet" and "Fatal Identity", so he recognized it at a glance. Come out, it is certainly impossible for such an actor to appear in a movie just by playing tricks.

But most people feel both bewildered and shocked at this time.

"Good guy, I just saved my father and then my mother died. This father hasn't been completely saved yet, isn't it true that both parents have died? The protagonist is too miserable."

As the plot progressed, the audience also roughly understood the whole logic of Lei Jiayin's wife's murder, which can only be described as good fortune.

It is also the first time to feel the butterfly effect under the timeline setting of this non-parallel universe view on the big screen.

Butterfly effect is the core framework of this type of film. The intersection of all dramatic contradictions can trigger certain philosophical thinking, and light can also set up a wonderful storyline based on it.

It's just that it's the first time for the Huaguo audience in this plane to see this type of movie, and they feel shocked inexplicably, and have a kind of awe of the impermanence of fate.

They all shed tears of sympathy for Luo Chen's miserable experience.

In fact, in this kind of Butterfly Effect works, the protagonist often shows a change that gets worse. If you really look at it logically, it is actually a bit far-fetched. If you think about it carefully, there is a feeling that the screenwriter is hard and coincidental, and there is a kind of fatalism. Heavy and pessimistic.

But usually in literary and artistic works, the more fatal, the heavier, the more pessimistic there will be greater dramatic tension, and even the so-called artistic depth. If it is handled optimistically, it will appear shallow, and even the audience will think so.

Perhaps the audience will applaud Dzogchen, but only tragedy can leave a deeper trace in their hearts, and cheapness is the nature of human beings.

Fortunately, "Signal" is a commercial film, and Chen Jingxing didn't have that kind of inexplicable artistic persistence. He couldn't change HE to BE.

Soon, Lei Jiayin and Luo Chen embarked on the story of father and son chasing after the murderer as promoted in the first version of the trailer.

If the first half of the film is about the son saving his father.

Then the second half of the film is the process of father and son chasing the murderer together, and the father saves his son, saves their family, and saves more innocent victims.

Under the sci-fi setting that spans time and space, the process of father and son making murders is naturally wonderful and unconventional.

The clues found by Lei Jiayin were handed over to Luochen 17 years later. Based on the clues, Luochen captured even bigger clues and fed them back to his father 17 years ago.

This method of tracking across the timeline made the audience including Li Zihao feel extremely novel. Everyone was deeply immersed in this wonderful murderous plot, worried about Lei Jiayin's distress, and worried about the relationship between father and son. Cheers for the wonderful cooperation across time and space.

The difference is that fans like Li Zihao will continue to applaud the director who arranged these wonderful plots in the process.

Because the director and screenwriter shown in the title are both Chen Jingxing.

Then the plot entered a more exciting stage.

Lei Jiayin and Luo Chen's tacit cooperation in the investigation alerted the murderer, and the murderer was from two timelines.

The murderer, played by Ma Xinang, a drama actor who has collaborated with Chen Jingxing in the previous two films, infiltrated/broke into Lei Jiayin/Luo Chen's house in two timelines respectively.

Although this plot will appear a little blunt and too coincidental if it is rigid.

But when it is shown on the big screen, the audience has no time to find fault at all, because Lei Jiayin and Luo Chen and his son are on two timelines at the same time with the same murderer on two timelines—a A middle-aged old man, the scene of entanglement and fighting is too dramatic.

Li Zihao was completely stunned at this moment.

This plot is so absurd, but full of dramatic tension.

In the timeline 17 years ago, after Lei Jiayin pierced the murderer's palm with a single knife, the old murderer's right hand pinched Luochen's neck and pressed him to the ground 17 years later, and his right hand shrank strangely until it disappeared. The grizzled elderly Lei Jiayin appeared like a god descending, and knocked down the murderer and passed out.

This overwhelming plot caused a burst of exclamation in the theater, and Li Zihao also uttered the second sound since the beginning of the film: "Fuck!"

Although he has already praised the director countless times in his heart during the movie watching process, but at this time he can't say anything else.

Just when he was inexplicably excited, the roommate next to him, Yang Fan, said leisurely, "Oh, I don't know if Lei Jiayin's action can be regarded as a legitimate defense by the police."

Li Zihao: "...that's all you thought of?"

However, after the film ended, sporadic applause from the front row interrupted Li Zihao's complaints.

While watching the subtitles of the cast and crew, Li Zihao nudged his roommate with his elbow, signaling to applaud quickly.

Sporadic applause seemed to merge into a sea from different streams. Amid the applause of the audience in the theater, the lights were turned on, making Li Zihao seem to have returned to the world, as if he had just had a wonderful dream for two hours.

He tried his best to applaud louder, and secretly decided to post Amway's post on various forums after he left the theater, oh, and of course Douban Five Star.

……

As the voices of people in the theater slowly dispersed, two figures slowly walked out of the corridor.

Zhang Meng took a careful look at Wu Tingxuan beside him. Wu Tingxuan was wearing a hood and sunglasses, making it difficult to see his emotions.

As a manager, she couldn't think of words to comfort the young master for the time being.

If you want her to belittle "Signal" out of conscience, she won't be able to form a language that sounds a little bit reasonable.

"The applause just now may not necessarily represent the opinions of the majority of the audience. Although it is not the premiere, this is a theater of the United Cinemas after all. Maybe there are staff who follow the rhythm. People have the mentality of following the crowd. Yes, someone took the lead in applauding, and the movie can't be said... too bad, it doesn't take much effort to applaud at the right time."

Seeing that Wu Tingxuan still didn't respond, Zhang Meng sighed inwardly, and continued to comfort him: "Besides, Zhang Weiping is also a gold medal producer, so he's not easy to deal with. If "Signal" has created such a big momentum on the Internet, it won't be rewarded by "White-haired Witch". Pressed one end on the row?
In my opinion, Jingying Films will definitely try to suppress "Signal" during the National Day file. Even if DreamWorks sells it again, the box office will not be much higher if this lineup is not enough. Luo Chen is proud of it for the last time. "Source Code" Didn't you use him as the main character? "Fantasy City" is the big IP. The domestic box office is expanding so fast. Didn't Director Guo say that it is not impossible for "Fantasy City" to win more than one billion box office when it is released. "

Wu Tingxuan finally broke out in silence: "Mine! Mine! This movie was originally mine. If he hadn't rejected it at the time and went to DreamWorks for an audition, Chen Jingxing would definitely have taken a fancy to me. My number of fans is higher than Luo Chen's. Much more, the leading actor will definitely give it to me!"

Zhang Meng was speechless. You were given a supporting role, not a leading role, and you had to audition. Do you think you can pass it?Besides, isn't that your mother's decision?What are you yelling at me for?Looking for your mother?
She tried her best to suppress the desire to complain, because she had seen that Wu Tingxuan's madness had attracted some people's attention, so she hurriedly dragged him away.

Just as Li Zihao and Yang Fan came out of the bathroom, they looked at the man and woman who were acting strangely and hurried away with question marks all over their heads.

"Watching a movie can drive people crazy?"
