The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 319 The Comet Cracked!
The night sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with diamond-like stars, and the dazzling blazing comet drags a long comet tail. The light tail like dust and mist lies across the stars, sweeps across the dark clouds, and the tail diverges. The warm colors seem to build up a slender rainbow and turn into a gorgeous ribbon.

Lu Xiao and his girlfriend Yu Xiaoling were sitting in the auditorium with few people, looking at the dreamy picture on the big screen in ecstasy.

This scene reminded Lu Xiao of Chen Jingxing's debut novel "The Night the Comet Came". In that movie, near the end, there was also a scene where the heroine looked up at the night sky in a daze and sorrow, and the comet streaked across the black curtain. screen.

Lu Xiao always believed that the scene and the ethereal music played at that moment were the finishing touch of the whole movie. He also started to pay attention to Chen Jingxing, a fledgling young director, after watching "Comet", and gradually became a loyal fan of Chen Jingxing.

That scene has been deeply engraved in his mind, even after watching Chen Jingxing, or even so many movies of DreamWorks, he can't erase the touch of that moment on his heart.

In his mind, what can be compared to the classic shot of "Comet" is that the male protagonist in "Fatal Identity" wakes up and looks at the broken lens under his feet, and the male and female protagonists in "Source Code" end under the dazzling bright sun. The kiss in front of the high-speed train window, and the disintegration of the Tiangong-[-] on which the heroine rides at the end of "Gravity", the escape capsule and other parts that fell off turned into meteors across the blue planet.

In Lu Xiao's view, Chen Jingxing is always good at sublimating the whole story in the film in an instant with such eye-catching shots or pictures, and directly touches the hearts of the audience.

And now, at this moment, he found the familiar throbbing in an animation, which is obviously just a small fresh movie about the hazy love between boys and girls. Maybe the process is fantastic, and they will be like dreams from time to time. Generally, they travel into each other's body, during which they are like happy friends. Due to their respective personalities and gender differences, they use each other's body to obtain different life experiences.

And in this kind of small, fresh, daily, and relaxed body swap, the love between the male and female protagonists for each other also sprouts and takes root in the dark, which can make movie fans like Lu Xiao, who watch a lot of movies, laugh again and again. faintly aware.

And in the first four or 10 minutes of the typical "light comedy"-style boy and girl swapping bodies, the feelings that gradually grew were ignited by the extremely gorgeous dark night comet in front of them, and made the few audiences in the theater Imbued by the hazy love of this young man, a jerky emotion gushed out of his heart.

Who doesn't have the time of youth?

DreamWorks is really good at portraying this kind of juvenile love and ambiguity so unconventional. Although the movie is only less than halfway through, the relationship between the hero and heroine is not abrupt.

The beautiful and penetrating music combined with the beautiful comet picture reveals the heroine's bitter love for the boy who is thousands of miles away. It really made many viewers suddenly realize that this pair of "happy friends" There is an undercurrent of emotion between them, but when you think about it carefully, this hazy and beautiful emotion is not blunt, but logical.

What's more, after rejecting the good fortune that the heroine's "upper body" offered him, the male protagonist in Shanghai also thought of the female protagonist under the night sky illuminated by neon lights. Number not attempted to be contacted.

It also happened that the heroine and her partners walked out of the Hakka enclosure, thinking of the date she had arranged for the hero when she "went into the body of the hero". She should be happy for the hero, but she felt sour again. The shock of the comet also made the palpitations in the heart turn into tears and broke through the eye sockets, broke through the window paper that had been obscured in the first four or 10 minutes of the movie, suppressed in the wonderful but relaxed daily plot, and also infected the audience in front of the screen .

This is the youthful love between boys and girls that belongs exclusively to the East.

On one side are middle school boys living in the modern metropolis of Shanghai.

On one side is a girl living thousands of miles away in a Hakka tulou round house full of the ancient customs of Huaguo.

Two boys and girls who are far away from each other exchange bodies in a wonderful dream, so they develop feelings for each other in the novel and interesting life experience, and in the exchange of borrowed notebooks and smartphone notepads.

Then at the same moment, they looked up at the night sky and echoed each other.

This completely surreal, but extremely romantic plot makes Lu Xiao seem to have regained the youthful touch of his student days.

But now it reminded him of the feeling of first love in an animated movie. He looked down at his girlfriend who was holding his arm and stared at the picture seriously, as if he was also touched by this beautiful plot.

He was so moved that the sudden desire to communicate was swallowed back by him, so it's hard to talk about first love.

"It's a pity that it's just an animation..." Lu Xiao felt that DreamWorks could make idol dramas. This method of quietly rendering the youthful and ignorant love hidden in the relaxed daily plot is comparable to that on the market. Most of the love-themed film and television dramas are much higher.

"so beautiful!"

"so beautiful……"

"Is this the comet predicted on TV that will pass the earth?"

On the screen, more and more children and adults walked out of the surrounding houses, looking up at the brightest and most beautiful star in the night sky.

A bright spot suddenly appeared in the comet's dazzling head.

It seems that part of the star fell from it.

The separated star seems to be a traveler thrown by the comet. It breaks away from the tail of the comet, changes its trajectory across the sky, and enters the atmosphere with a steeper parabolic trajectory.

The blue-white star quickly turned red, dragging a blazing white comet tail, reflected in the heroine's eyes under the increasingly intense piano rhythm, getting closer and bigger.

Lu Xiao's eyes reflected the heroine's dazed eyes, as well as the red stars, his mouth opened wider and wider.

Girlfriend Yu Xiaoling also suddenly recovered from the previous emotion, and looked at the sudden turn of the plot in confusion: "What's going on? What happened to the comet?"

The sparse audience in the giant screen hall also heard noisy voices. Obviously, the sharp turn of the plot also exceeded most people's expectations. Unprepared, they couldn't realize what the changes in the picture meant. Dazed.

Lu Xiao once again turned his brain that had been dulled by the relaxed daily life of the first 40 minutes of the movie, feeling that the truth was right in front of him.

After a "ding" sound effect that instantly lifted the spirits of all the audience, the giant screen fell into a black screen for an instant. When it was lit up again, the screen came to the magic city. Full of confusion and puzzlement like the audience in front of the screen.

"...the number you dialed is an empty number, please check and dial again... sorry, the number you dialed does not exist. please check the number and dial again..."

"How could it be an empty number?" Girlfriend Yu Xiaoling said in confusion: "Isn't this the number that the hero got when he swapped bodies with the heroine? It can't be wrong, right?"

Empty number?

The repeated reminders from the female voice from the mobile phone caused the flashing inspiration in Lu Xiao's brain to explode like fireworks.

"Damn! Absolutely!" At this moment, Lu Xiao only felt an electric current from the tailbone all the way to sparks and lightning, making his body tremble: "I know!"

Yu Xiaoling couldn't care less about continuing to pay attention to the hero on the screen: "What's wrong? What do you know?"

"The reason why it is an empty number is because the heroine has already died!" Lu Xiao continued to explain softly and quickly amidst the shock of his girlfriend: "The comet split and fell into the atmosphere before, and the black screen in the end must mean that The meteorite hit the village where the heroine is."

"However, the hero and heroine switched bodies the day before, and even if the heroine dies, it won't be an empty account. At most, it's a reminder to shut down the phone..." Yu Xiaoling still didn't understand, but in the process of refuting Gradually realized what.

Lu Xiao looked at his girlfriend's expression as if he had realized something, and confirmed: "Because that is the past! Didn't there be a news on the TV of the male protagonist before the movie that it was a comet two years ago, and the TV at the female protagonist's home also How about a comet that was broadcast, but we didn’t realize that these two were talking about a comet! The body swapping between the male and female protagonists is not in the same time and space at all! It’s two years apart!”

The hero is in the future!The heroine is in the past!
This is a... a "Signal"!

At this time, Lu Xiao's brain seemed to be completely washed by toilet water, and he was unprecedentedly sober and excited.

It's like watching "The Night the Comet Came" and realizing the existence of parallel universes, watching "Fatal Identity" and discovering that none of the characters who staged the suspenseful plot of Agatha in the hotel are real people.

It's like opening a blind box and discovering a surprise.

The setting of "men and women interpenetrating bodies" in the trailer and in the first four and 10 minutes of this animated film is simply a blindfold.

He also always thought that the sci-fi label in "Your Name" refers to "swapping bodies"-in fact, this stalk has been made in some romantic comedy movies in Hollywood, but this is the first time in Huaguo film and television dramas. Some people use it, and it is still very fresh, and this setting alone is enough to support a movie.

But he still underestimated, or misguidedly ignored, DreamWorks' ability to "reorganize".

Of course, Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks will not just make an ordinary sci-fi movie, even if it is a novel sci-fi movie.

This is basically a new movie in the "Signal" series. The core of science fiction is still playing with the concept of time and space.

And played a new trick!

In "Signal" it was just a walkie-talkie plus a butterfly effect. When the TV series added a more complex and brain-intensive cycle concept, which closed time and space into a circle, in "Mirage" the tool was replaced by a TV, and three lines were created. The timeline makes the heroine a big winner for both lover and daughter.

And in "Your Name", he even abandoned all communication tools and replaced them with interpenetration in dreams. This is why Lu Xiao did not discover the secret of time travel hidden in the movie in advance. The setting of wearing a body, as well as the sweet and ignorant feelings of adolescent men and women, cover the deepest setting of time and space hidden in the movie.

Lu Xiao, who is already very familiar with the setting of "Signal", also got a surprise in the invincibility.
