This director needs to apologize

Chapter 366 No good words

Before Mitu could pick out the clues from the messed up yarn ball, the next scene had already entered on the big screen.

At night, in a small wooden house by the lake, Shen Ming was cooking fish.

From the TV in the background, the background sound of a news broadcast was heard, telling that the much-anticipated virtual Chongqing City project had given up restarting and was officially closed. The chief designer suffered a mental disorder due to this shock and has been sent to Qingshan Hospital for treatment.

Shen Ming turned around and took a look. The woman's face displayed on the TV was none other than Song Jia.

He shook his head and focused on cooking again. The news continued to broadcast, and several experts were invited to comment.

Shen Ming brought the cooked fish to the dining table and sat down. He took the remote control and adjusted the TV to the football match and started enjoying dinner.

He poured two glasses of red wine, moved one to the opposite side, then picked up the other and reached over to touch it with a "ding".

To tomorrow, he whispered these words, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

It was also a night at Pan Yueming's home in virtual Chongqing City. Lao Pan was sitting at the dining table and eating.

The old gentleman lowered his eyes and replied, "Not yet."

The big screen went dark and then brightened, and the credits began to flash from bottom to top, but no one in the auditorium stood up.

In the picture, Shen Ming is minding his own business while fishing, while outside the picture, Pan Yueming is slowly watching and eating. Under the warm yellow light, this slightly cramped small apartment has a warm and quiet atmosphere.

Movie fans got what they had been waiting for: the code flow as the background of the subtitles transformed into images, which were fragments and freeze-frames of Song Jia and Chen Kun.

When passing by the police station, you can see the handsome policeman and the little policewoman walking side by side to a police car in the distance. The little policewoman is still talking happily.

The melodious BGM gradually stopped, and the long subtitles stopped playing. The last image was exactly the room of the otaku at the beginning of the movie. Song Jia stared at the unknown object on the bed, and turned away decisively.

The eDonkey finally stopped at the downstairs of the building opposite the Zhaixinglou Square. Pan Yueming locked the car and entered the building elevator and pressed the button for the 13th floor.

When Pan Yueming entered the company, he was met by the old gentleman who came forward and reported to him respectfully that in the past 12 hours, 44 new AIs with signs of awakening had been added and all had been registered on the 13th floor.

As if fearing that the audience would miss it, the camera deliberately gave a close-up of his fingers.

Early the next morning, Pan Yueming walked out of the apartment with a cheerful face, greeted her neighbors all the way to the street, and then got on a small electric donkey and walked through the streets.

Dating during youth, the sweetness of the wedding moment, the quarrels in married life, the cold war of living in separate rooms...

Pan Yueming said, "Have you ever thought about regenerating one? You know what I mean, that guy has a lot of vests, you can definitely pick the one you like best."

Pan Yueming smiled and said, okay, I won't force you. OK, let's start working. I wonder if any of these 44 people are angry.

Pan Yueming nodded, then asked, does that guy have any clues?

The two of them began to walk in one after another. As they moved forward, the dilapidated office began to turn into a code corridor extending endlessly into the depths, with closed doors on both sides. You can see the ID sign on the right side of the door.

The old gentleman shook his head and nodded again, and then said, memory is unique, and I have the same reason as you.

After the door closed, the quilt suddenly opened, revealing Chen Kun's face.

On the seat opposite him, where Shen Ming placed the red wine glass, there was a tablet computer.

Arriving at the bottom of the cable car, Pan Yueming looked up. Two figures passed by on the top of the cable car. After a few leaps, they appeared on the overpass in the distance. One chased and the other fled away.

In several consecutive cuts, Pan Yueming is like every homebody, watching TV, playing games, and drinking water until he turns off the lights and goes to bed.

A video is playing above, lake, wooden house, trestle, fisherman.

After the screen went black again, the lights in the screening room came on, and Mitu knew that this time it was really over.

The quiet screening room erupted into a noisy discussion the next moment. The first reaction of the audience watching the movie was to exchange the plot of the movie with their companions.

A couple sitting on the right side of Mitu was already involved in a heated argument. The woman asked Chen Kun what happened in the end, and the man answered clearly that he hung up.

Mitu no longer paid attention to the couple's argument and turned to look at the blind date, only to find that the other party was also half confused, obviously not out of the plot yet.

The two of them stood up and followed the crowd outside. It wasn't until they walked out of the passage that the male companion spoke.

"Do you understand? Why can't I figure it out?"

Mitu also nodded his head, "There's something I didn't understand. It turns out I'm not the only one who didn't understand. I'm a little unconfident."

On the way to take Mitu home in a taxi, the two of them had been having a heated discussion. As a result, the more they discussed, the harder it was to reach a consensus. The only thing they both agreed on was to watch it again tomorrow. Mitu was lying on the bed at night, unable to restrain herself from opening Broad Beans to read movie reviews. She couldn't care less about the spoilers (she thought it was outrageous, and she still worried about spoilers after watching it once). She couldn't wait to seek more psychological recognition.

Click on the page of "The Thirteenth Floor". Just a few days after the preview of Goodfellas, the short reviews have already exceeded 1,000.

After clearing her mind for three hours, Mitu had roughly figured out the main line of the story. After reading a few high praise film reviews, she found that everyone had a relatively consistent understanding of the main line.

This is a story about a couple turning against each other and causing the virtual world to collapse. A fan with an account called "Dujiangyan Weird Bean" made a metaphor that made Mitu feel the same way.

When a child urinates and destroys an ant nest, it is just a joke to the child, but from the perspective of the ants, it is undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster.

Fortunately, Chen Yiming arranged a chance for the ants to reverse their course. Pan Yueming, the heroic ant, seized this opportunity, not only teaching the two naughty children a lesson, but also winning peace once and for all for the ant nest.

However, for parts other than the main line, everyone has greater differences, and there are various interpretations.

For example, the female researcher played by Song Jia, what is her purpose?

Some people thought that Song Jia was a PUA and got angry after the PUA failed. They decided to change her husband's brain in one step, kicking out the failed Chen Kun and replacing him with the motivated Pan Yueming.

Some people think that Song Jia still wants to drag out her happy husband, not to change his mind, but to sacrifice Pan Yueming to impress Chen Kun, and then stimulate Chen Kun to stop acting badly.

Some even think that Song Jia had killed her husband a long time ago, and that the time in the ward was a reminiscence on the timeline, and that Song Jia came to the virtual Chongqing City to extract Chen Kun's memories.

As for Chen Kun's characterization, apart from the consensus on the second grade, there are also different opinions on the others.

Some people think that Chen Kun wants to use the virtual city of Chongqing to build an online home and regain the beauty of his relationship.

Some people believe that Chen Kun is a saboteur who entered the virtual Chongqing City to cause trouble. He may still have feelings for Song Jia, but he is absolutely unwilling to go out and be manipulated again, so he left a back door for Pan Yueming.

Some people even nicknamed Chen Kun a cybercriminal. His butt is obviously tilted to the AI ​​side. How can such a person still have feelings for his wife?

Compared with these two humans, the cyborgs headed by Pan Yueming appear to be exceptionally strong-willed, empathetic, friendly, and responsible.

So much so that more than one film review emphasized that Chen Yiming definitely set it up this way on purpose. Don't ask, just ask because people are inherently good in nature.

Before Mitu dropped his phone and fell asleep, he was still thinking about his idol.

Is "The Thirteenth Floor" a bit too ambitious? People who are willing to comment are definitely hard-core movie fans. Their evaluations of the movie are so inconsistent, and their opinions on the plot are not uniform. The differences are so serious that the threshold for ordinary viewers to watch the movie can be imagined.

Is this movie really suitable for release during the Spring Festival, which is about family fun?
The next day, Mitu's second visit failed to happen as the tickets for the preview venue ran out in seconds and it was impossible to grab them.

However, her inner worries came true. As expected, there were many voices questioning "The Thirteenth Floor" and Chen Yiming on the Internet.

This year's Spring Festival show can be called the Five Masters' Huashan Swordsmanship. As a foreplay, the preview venue has attracted great attention from various media early on.

This week two years ago, the number one hot topic was the Spring Festival Gala. Because this year's chief director invited Wang Xiaogang for the first time, people across the country wanted to know whether the King of New Year's Comedy could recover the Spring Festival Gala from the center of the earth.

Following the Spring Festival Gala, the second ranked movies are five Spring Festival movies, three Hong Kong blockbusters, an adaptation of a best-selling book, and a new work by Chen Yiming, all of which have their own gimmicks.

Therefore, although the number of test screenings is limited, the voices from all walks of life have already spread a lot after being amplified by the media.

As for the overall battle situation, the four teams in the southeast, northwest and northwest are each good at winning games. Only the defending champion in the middle received a relatively "neutral" evaluation.

After all, it has not yet been released on a large scale, and the number of viewers who have seen the test screening is limited. After all, Chen Yiming is the shadow of a famous tree. With international double gold awards and N domestic box office records, the media can only do it for a while. It’s because the threshold for watching movies is too high.

Most of the opinions cited by movie fans and critics are that it is too mind-numbing to watch and may not be suitable for a family to relax.

Perhaps it was because Chen Yiming and Bo Jue had been silent to the media for confirmation, which gave some encouragement to their friends and businessmen. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a sudden trend on the Internet, thinking that Chen Yiming would probably overturn this time.

The arguments are quite complete, with data, examples, tables and pictures, which highlights the thorough preparation.

The most convincing thing is the film scheduling rate, which averages 17.5%, ranking last among the top five.

Then there is the attendance rate. A well-known theater manager revealed that the attendance rate at the test screening of "The Thirteenth Floor" was as low as less than 80%, setting a new low for Chen Yiming's works.

In terms of overseas rights, Warner China insiders revealed that there are no plans to obtain the rights to adapt "The Thirteenth Floor". As for overseas release, there is also no specific timetable. This is also the first time for a Chen Yiming film.

Naturally, expert comments will not be left out. It is rumored that the release version of "The Thirteenth Floor" has a lot of changes compared to the version submitted for review. Platinum Jue deleted at least twenty minutes from the duration. This was also confirmed by a member of the Film Bureau's Film Review Committee. Default.

Finally, there were post-screening interviews with the audience. Some said they did not understand, some said they were depressed, some female viewers said they could not identify with Song Jia, and some Chen Kun fans did not accept such crazy criticism from their idol.

Compared with Zhener, none of them are negative remarks, but if you look carefully, there is definitely not a single good word.
