Chapter 174 Don’t show off your IQ
At the beginning of the film, an old woman got out of the car. She is a lawyer who claims to have "never lost a lawsuit." This time she came to help the male protagonist clear the suspicion of murder.

"Who is this?" The girls watching the movie were all confused. Was there this person in the creative team just now?

"Don't panic, he's just a soy saucer. These big directors love to do this trick too much." A person who looks like a senior movie fan swears that he is an old movie fan at first glance. His words are convincing.

Based on the formula he had seen in so many movies, this was a sure thing.

The girl next to him seemed to trust him and nodded, which made the movie fan Tianling Gai feel relieved.

However, what happened next made him a little uneasy.

In the movie, the death of young artist Laura is being broadcast on TV at this time, and the suspect is the male protagonist. The lawyer tells the male protagonist that he may be summoned tonight because a witness suddenly appears, and This witness may be able to convict the male protagonist.

The lawyer asked the male protagonist to tell all the details so that she could find a way to help him.

The male protagonist still wanted to be tough, but the lawyer told him that he would be given 180 minutes to tell the truth clearly, and if he didn't hurry up, the police might arrest him at any time (the male protagonist was under 24-hour police surveillance).

Timing begins!
The tense atmosphere has already begun
Then the male protagonist started to reminisce.
Directors such as Nolan and Chen Kaige watched it very carefully, and the editing techniques interspersed in it are quite skillful.

At this point, the film feels like a story about finding the real culprit and proving innocence.

The male protagonist's lover was killed in a closed room. He was the only one present and could not escape suspicion.

Is that really the case?
Brother Chen Kai felt that Li Mu would not shoot such a boring story, and he was still looking for details carefully.

However, the veteran movie fan in the audience seat felt a little embarrassed. Although the girl next to him did not cast a questioning look, the role of the lawyer was obviously not a soy sauce, which made him somewhat unexpected.

The story was very compact at the beginning, and the case seemed very simple, but the slap in the face at the beginning made him afraid to continue guessing.

The film then involves another hit-and-run case from the secret room murder case, and the experiences of a family changed by these two cases.

The movie's twists and turns again and again wash away the audience's nerves.

And when it was shown that the boy who was hit was not actually dead, but was still pushed into the river along with the car, the reversal struck again.

So what is the truth.

"Nima, it's a bit brain-burning, this movie is impossible to guess." Some boys who think they are smart even show off to their girlfriends.

Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face again and again.

Then the movie cuts back to the confrontation between the hero and the lawyer. Is this memory really the answer?
Based on the memories of the male protagonist, the female lawyer put forward a statement that is closer to reality: it was the male protagonist who insisted not to call the police after the car accident because he was more afraid of losing his career and family, and the deceased female protagonist was the one The person who was forced to conceal the facts was the male protagonist who used his strong connections and power to frame the dead young man and abscond with the money.
The plot twists again.

The audience couldn't help but exclaimed quietly, it was so clear in the auditorium where there was only the sound of the movie.

Brother Chen Kai couldn't help but glance at Li Mu in the center. The plot design was too compact and clever, and a new narrative started before the audience had time to think about it.

The truth revealed step by step surprised the audience. Under the pressure of the lawyer step by step, the male protagonist's psychological defense slowly collapsed.

And the audience here breathed a sigh of relief, the truth of all the cases was revealed?

The lawyer knew everything and helped the male protagonist clear up the suspicion?Or do you think that the male protagonist is extremely guilty and give up defending him?

Another shocking reversal is coming.
After watching the ending, everyone present was stunned. No one expected that the story would develop step by step and eventually return to its original beginning.

"Is this what you call soy sauce?" The girl seemed to be still immersed in the plot and inadvertently asked this obvious question.

The veteran movie fan blushed instantly and cursed secretly. He spent all day hunting but was blinded by an eagle. Li Mu's suspense movies are indeed not that simple.

"Come on, don't show off your IQ from now on. The director pushed her to the ground and rubbed her." A girl from the back said to her boyfriend. Apparently, the man kept showing off his IQ while watching the movie.

The first applause came from the film producers, and then everyone watching stood up and applauded vigorously.

"Wonderful! I want to watch it again!" The fans behind them shouted, wanting to watch it again.

The directors all looked at Li Mu, wondering what kind of brain he had. It was a movie with a small investment, but it was so good that it was not inferior to those top blockbusters.

After the screening, the film producers were ready to make a move, and Liu Weijuan went over to negotiate with them one by one.

"Director Li, may I ask why you made such a movie?"

The reporter's question also made everyone present turn their attention to Li Mu.

"Is the movie exciting?" Li Mu asked.

"Wonderful, I believe all viewers who have watched it will find it wonderful."

"Then that's why I made this movie." Li Mu answered cleverly.

Those present gave warm applause again.

"It's difficult to deal with." This is not the first time that reporters have heard colleagues complain that Li Mu is a black hole in interviews, and it is difficult to follow the routine they envisioned.

"Director Li, what are your expectations for this movie?"

"I want to create a benchmark for suspense films."

As soon as these words came out, the reporters were all excited. What they wanted was this effect and this kind of answer. This kind of report also has traffic and hits.The fans at the back were even more excited. This is a great director, full of courage.

"Director Li, we support you!"

The sound of support grew louder and louder, and the atmosphere in the venue reached a new climax.

The reporter also calmed down for a long time, and couldn't help but see Nolan in the front row below, and rolled his eyes: "Director Li, can I interview Director Nolan?"

"If Director Nolan is willing, he can do it."

Nolan did not refuse, took the microphone, and waved to the audience present.

"Director Nolan, what do you think of this movie?"

"I think this will be the pinnacle of suspense movies!"

The reporter was extremely excited after hearing this and quickly shouted to the audience: "Director Nolan said that he thinks this will be the pinnacle of suspense movies!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into exclamations.

The director and film company representatives also exclaimed.

"Brother, they are not colluding, right?" Although Wang Zhonglei also admitted that this movie is the most classic suspense movie he has ever seen, but not long after, Li Mu's evaluation of The Dark Knight came back with feedback. Suspicion.

"If you have the ability to give me an evaluation of a major international director, I will accept it no matter how much it costs." Wang Zhongjun glanced at his brother. No matter what happened, the publicity effect has been fully achieved.

This August, no one can challenge Li Mu’s ability in this movie.

"Fortunately, it didn't meet "Red Cliff"." Han Sanping looked lucky, otherwise "Red Cliff" would have been a loser.

Although I can make up a lot from "The Invisible Guest", this is not the optimal solution.

The film producers have now made up their minds, but Mengying Media is currently refusing to sell it, saying it will wait until the box office comes out.

After the premiere, CJ's Park and Tai immediately came over, "Director Li, we meet again."

"I hope to discuss copyright matters with you, as well as the adaptation rights."

After Park and Tae watched the movie, they immediately wanted to discuss the rights to adapt it. You must know that this type of movie is also very popular in South Korea. If you adapt it and release it a few years later, you can reap another wave.

"Mr. Park, don't be anxious about anything. We can wait until the box office comes out to talk about it."

Not only South Korea's CJ family wants the adaptation rights for this movie, but judging from the news just reported back by Liu Weijuan, some countries also want the adaptation rights.

This is a long negotiation. It is in line with Mengying's strategy to maximize profits without rushing to sell.

Seeing how tough Li Mu was, Park and Tai knew that there was no chance. After bowing and leaving, they immediately called and reported the matter.

"How much will the box office be?" Han Sanjing felt that the reporter was completely confused by Nolan's answer just now, and even ignored such an important question.

"Director Han, don't worry, we'll know in a few days." Li Mu smiled and did not answer Han Sanjing directly.

"I'll wait for your good news then." Han Sanjing wasn't upset either. Looking at this tonight, the box office will definitely be the same.

The major theaters of Xingmeng and Wanda were full of people at this time.

"Don't worry, everyone, we have temporarily added three games, please line up if necessary." The conductor looked at the dark crowd and felt a bit like the time in "Transformers" and "Kung Fu Panda".

At times like this, they are the busiest, and they are exhausted from punching tickets.

Tonight’s remarks are clearly visible on major portal websites.

"Li Mu said bluntly: The movie will set a new benchmark for suspense films!"

"Nolan, the great director of The Dark Knight: This will be the pinnacle of suspense movies!"

"An irresistible suspense film with the most twists and turns in history!"

These titles shocked some viewers who had not yet watched the movie. What was going on tonight? Why did these titles look so attractive?

"Anyone who has watched the movie can tell me what happened? Is the title true?"

"Stop guessing and go buy tickets quickly. I'm already preparing for the second ticket."

"It is recommended that if you have a girlfriend, don't show off your IQ, otherwise you will be slapped in the face!"

"If a domestic suspense film can produce such an effect, I can only say that it is worthy of Li Mu. The second shot is not enough, it must be the third shot."

Li Mu and Nolan are still communicating. After all, being here has given them such a big face, so of course they have to be grateful.

"No, Lee, what I said is true. Your movie is better than my "The Prestige"!" Nolan said very seriously.

Li Mu also believed what Nolan said. After all, this film has always been at the top in later generations. Many suspense film adaptations have the shadow of this one, or are adapted from "The Invisible Guest".
