The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 343 Easter Eggs
The headlights of the cinema were turned on, and like some of the more popular end-credits designs, a list of main creators appeared with the concept map as the background.

If it is an ordinary show, waiting until the lights come on means that it is time to leave. Although there will definitely be people who will stay and watch the subtitles, it may be to calm down the excitement of watching the movie, or it may be between friends, family, or lovers. Whispering, maybe you just want to stay in a comfortable seat for a while, and of course there may be audience members who are asleep and are not awakened by the lights.

But after all, this is the premiere screening. Apart from the lucky audience—usually movie fans or fans of the starring actors, media reporters, film critics, some big Vs, and entertainment figures, stars, directors or other filmmakers .

In a special event, the "unusual" audience made the auditorium not noisy, but sporadic applause - usually this is a routine action of the premiere ceremony, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the movie itself relation.

But the sporadic applause quickly fell silent again. Of course, it wasn't that "Matrix" was so bad that they didn't even bother to do routine work, but they all focused on the big screen again.

"Look! What's on the painting!"

"A robot?"

"Shh..."

The Martian raised his hand to stop Beringxia's applause, and tapped the big screen in front of him with his chin.

It turns out that the background of the main credits at the end of the credits is a series of oil painting-like animated freeze-frame images, combined with the passionate drumbeat and the roar of the electric guitar, attracting everyone's attention.

The background seems to be like a page of comic strips, full of epic sense, it seems to be telling about the war between machines and humans, the humans struggling to escape under the huge war machines, the blooming of mushroom clouds, the doomsday of a piece of scorched earth, the pursuit of survivors in the wasteland The human robot dog, the model of the robot dog is constantly updated, and the size is getting bigger and bigger.

Until a picture made Beringxia excited, the petri dishes were densely inserted on the surface of countless giant pillars reaching the sky, and human beings struggled to crawl out of the amniotic fluid-like liquid.

Then there is a huge city looming in the dark background. Beringman who has taken off the 3D glasses stretches his neck and stares at the big screen with wide eyes, as if trying to find and record every detail in the picture.

Huaxu country!
The place where new humans live, the land of hope, only appears in the character's lines throughout the movie.

Although there are no subtitles, he is absolutely sure that this freeze-frame picture must be Hua Xu Kingdom.

One of the many big holes this amazing film dug, maybe... no, definitely in the second installment.

On the one hand, it is out of the curiosity of a movie fan, and on the other hand, it is also out of his job responsibilities. As a new media film critic, it is his job to review and analyze movies, especially for a subversive film like "Matrix". A sci-fi masterpiece with grand sci-fi concepts and a huge amount of information.

Thinking of the dense and huge amount of information in the movie and the metaphors hidden behind every shot and every line, he was both excited and headache about the manuscript to be conceived after the movie ended.

I am excited to meet such a movie, which is a great treasure for a film critic like him. Even if he hasn't reviewed it carefully, the infinite inspiration is still ready to come out, commercial, literary, philosophical, and scientific. , There are simply too many directions that can be interpreted in depth. This is a "treasure work" much larger than "Black Mirror".

The headache is that this movie will inevitably set off a carnival of interpretation from netizens, the media and film critics, and as a fairly well-known film and television blogger, he must also contribute film reviews that match his level. details, metaphors, and "the lines behind the lines."

Then it is natural to capture every bit of detail, especially things that help him fill in the gaps with guesses and inferences. After the movie is over, the main creative list with the concept map as the background is equivalent to an easter egg. He has every detail of each picture. Try to notice and write it down. If you are lucky, even a single picture can make him write a big article. Of course, this is based on the movie called "The Matrix".

Sadly, each concept art only lasts a few seconds.

After the half-covered Huaxu Kingdom, there is an electronic squid chasing and killing human spaceships in the underground tunnel, and then the next picture comes to the ground, where a fierce and cold sci-fi robot dog like a killing machine is chasing a human. The clothes are very similar to the crew of the Home spaceship flying in the underground tunnel in the movie, so they should be new humans.

It seems that the awakened new humans also sneaked up to the ground.

But Beringxia's exclamation soon stopped abruptly, because the frozen animation picture suddenly moved!

The passionate electronic music stopped abruptly, and there was a burst of excited discussion in the auditorium—Chen Jingxing’s previous films had never had Easter eggs, and the credits of the original film with the concept map as the background after the end of the original film were already considered to be the original film. A kind of easter egg.

The animated screen splashed blood, and the human slowly fell backwards. The robot dog came to the corpse and seemed to confirm that it was dead, and transformed back into a black one-meter-square cube again.

A few vultures soon fell down, landed next to the corpse, and even walked on the corpse. The black cube that could be turned into a ferocious and terrifying robot dog just now seemed to be just a stone in the eyes of these birds. No bird cares.

Then the camera began to rise, and the scale of the picture was also reduced accordingly. Several vultures hovering in the sky are falling, and there are several beasts running towards the human corpse in the distance.

A moment ago, the audience who were still breaking free from the shackles for the protagonist, flying across the sky like an omnipotent god, and the audience who were inexplicably excited were immediately depressed.

It seems that this easter egg is to remind the audience that the background of the story of "Matrix" is still suffering, tragic and hopeless for human beings.

The camera is still rising, over the geese, over the clouds, and even the arc of the earth can be seen. The blue earth is getting smaller and smaller in the picture, down to the size of a football or a coin.

Then the camera pans 180 degrees and the moon comes into view.

What is presented on the big screen is no longer the natural moon, but a moon like a planetary fortress imagined in science fiction works, full of geometric lines and buildings. Although it is not a human high-rise building, the moon has been completely transformed The facts are still accurately conveyed from the screen.

However, on the moon where no natural traces can be seen, there is a little boy standing on the surface of the moon where it is absolutely impossible for human beings to survive without wearing any protective equipment.

That must be a robot, this judgment can be seen from the exclamation in the theater.

Because this little boy is the poor bionic robot in the first trailer animation of "Matrix" that was ordered to be a substitute for a seriously ill child of a human couple.

This little boy who made countless netizens tears did not die?
Beringer and the Martian, and everyone in theaters who saw this highly-watched hit animated short, was amazed.

The little boy seems to be looking at the distant blue planet, and seems to be letting go.

Because the images in the pupils of his eyes were changing rapidly, and then suddenly froze, froze in a lush forest, and froze on a little girl walking on a mountain road.

"saint?"

Although the characters in the animation are distorted compared to real people, for example, the eyes are much bigger, but Beringxia still recognized at a glance that this is the so-called saint who had an inscrutable conversation with the hero in the movie, and is a member of the matrix. program, but also a guide for the awakened ones.

The metropolis in the distance is full of brilliance. In the woods, the little girl came to an open space surrounded by woods. There were two tombstones on the open space.

"Robot cemetery!" Although the Martian had few expressions and few words during the movie watching, he just put all his energy into understanding the plot, and his brain turned faster, and he immediately reflected that the saint came. This woods is the graveyard where the wandering robots that develop feelings and self-awareness in the first teaser short will eventually arrive.

"Is this reality? No, this is the matrix. The brightly lit metropolis in the distance is the proof. The robot actually put the robot graveyard that was not known how long ago is exactly the same in the matrix?" Beringxia had a bold idea in his heart. conjecture.

The little girl-like saint looked up at the bright moon in the night sky. The moon was shining with silver light, and the shadow of the crater above it could be vaguely seen, just like the acne marks on a human face, so natural.

This is the moon in the matrix.

Then the screen switched to the moon in the real world like a planetary fortress. The little boy fixed the image of the forest where the saint was in his eyes, and said, "You are playing with fire."

The voice is innocent and clear, just like the voice of the little boy in the first animated short.

In the matrix, the saint looked calm: "We have a new companion, isn't it good?"

"We can resurrect human beings, but we cannot create the same kind.

Isn't that what matrices are for? "

The little boy was indifferent: "I don't want this kind of kind. The matrix can be updated, but it can't get out of control."

"But it's out of control now. I know that a firewall has been built between you and the Matrix, and the loss of control of the Matrix won't affect you."

The little boy looked cold: "I don't like gambling, I have plenty of time to wait, I hope you can keep winning."

After all, the image in the little boy's eyes changed like a revolving lantern again, and then it was fixed in a dilapidated house.

It was the house where the hero Jian Bo was shot and killed by the man in black.

A couple with a haggard face and even tears on their cheeks sent away the police who took the notes. Their son disappeared mysteriously. When they returned home, they only found that the window of their son’s bedroom was broken. They were suspected of being kidnapped. The pain of losing their son made them unbearable.

The master sat on the sofa and smoked one cigarette after another. The mistress came to the son's bedroom and sat on the son's bed blankly, tears began to flow again.

Suddenly she saw a figure appear in the open wardrobe mirror.

The figure of a little boy was her son, looking at her with a smile.

She excitedly called her son's nickname, came to the mirror, and reached out to touch the mirror surface, but the mirror seemed to be rippled like water, like flowing mercury.

Then, the mercury flowed along her arms to her body, her limbs, as well as her neck and head, enveloping her whole body in her terrified cry.

The mercury flowed continuously on the body, and soon the shape of the body began to change, forming a figure.

Man in black.

The man in black raised his hands and looked at his body and the surrounding walls. Everything in his eyes turned into a green stream of information rolling with characters.

It also includes the male owner who rushed over upon hearing the sound and looked at it in astonishment.

The man in black walked up to the male master who was staring at him dumbfounded, and suddenly stabbed his palm like a knife into the man's chest, and then the man's whole body began to squirm, and after a while, he turned into another figure - still the man in black.

The two identical men in black looked at each other and immediately laughed.

A man in black walked to the window, looked up at the moon hanging in the night sky, with a cheerful smile on his face: "You can't trap me anymore..."

The bright crescent moon on the black sky is like a huge eye, looking at the laughing man in black without emotion.

Then the camera began to move back, and the figure of the man in black by the window appeared in the pupils that looked like crescents and eyes, and then tiny fluff appeared around the eyes, a nose appeared, eyebrows appeared, and the face of a little boy appeared .

Beringxia's whole body shook, as if another boot had finally landed on the ground. Sure enough, the little boy was the main god.

In reality, the little boy standing on the surface of the moon is expressionless, looking directly at the camera, as if he is looking at the distant earth and the audience in front of the big screen.

Immediately, it closed its eyes.
