I'm so old, I need to rely on my ex-girlfriends to turn around.

Chapter 144 Reversal, reversal or reversal

Because he is obsessed with the filming of "Box", Shen Huai has been quiet recently.

There was no such thing as a teaser, and there was no news at all on the official blog. The anti-fans were a little concerned.

[What’s going on with Huaizi recently? I haven’t broadcast live for a long time! 】

[Does anyone know the latest news about Huaizi, please let me know. 】

[I saw that he had no interest in participating in a love show last time, so he just lay down! 】

[Is Huaizi in retreat to create? 】

……

In the [Anti-Huai Alliance] chat room, the anti-fans were chatting and discussing.

Although they don't deal with Shen Huai, life without him is really a lot less fun!

While everyone was talking about it, a statement suddenly attracted the attention of all the black fans.

[Damn it, Huaizi actually went to act! 】

As soon as this statement came out, all the anti-fans were shocked and asked what was going on.

Soon, the anti-fan gave a reply: [Go and watch the short film competition just launched on Kudou.com. There is a short film starring Huaizi! 】

[Hey, is it true? Huaizi sings well, but he actually goes to act? 】

[Going to act in a short film? Huaizi has gone astray! 】

[Huaizi is confused. How can he act as a singer? 】

[If we have this time, we might as well write a few more songs, and let’s scold him to wake him up! 】

[I'm going to see what Huaizi is doing! 】

【Let’s go together! 】

……

Everyone clicked on Kudou Video Network.

As expected, the cover of the homepage is [Kudou.com Short Film Competition]!

After clicking on the link, the website jumps to the short film creation contest interface.

There are a total of fifteen videos in this interface, including short films of various types.

Naturally, the anti-fans did not pay attention to other short films and immediately clicked on the short film called "Box".

Although Shen Huai once showed off his acting skills in a live broadcast, most of the fans did not believe that he could perform well.

Therefore, many anti-fans watched this short film with scrutiny and criticism.

The cover is a long shot, a figure whose face cannot be seen is swallowed up by the darkness, which is frightening to watch.

Click on the feature and the video officially begins!

It opens with a violent attack. The protagonist who is doing an experiment is knocked unconscious with a baseball bat as soon as he turns his head.

When the protagonist woke up again, he found that he was locked in an iron box.

Five centimeters before his eyes was the lid of the box. The protagonist struggled to push it open and kicked it open, but to no avail.

The protagonist could only lie down, unable to straighten his hands, and the turbid air in the box even made it difficult for him to breathe.

The short film did not give the audience any chance to breathe at the beginning, and the audience was instantly attracted by the tense and compact plot.

[I wiped it, it scared me! 】

[Yes, this shot cuts very smoothly. 】

[This beginning is interesting, keep reading. 】

[Seeing Huaizi getting slapped makes me feel inexplicably happy! 】

Most of the barrages are messages from black people...

The short video continues to play.

In the play, the protagonist bangs on the iron box hard, and his slightly pale face looks more and more frightened under the light of the flashlight.

He roared crazily. At this moment, the protagonist's eye muscles froze, and he turned over violently in an instant, and screamed in surprise!

He struggled to tear open his sleeve and saw a bright red centipede crawling across his arm...

This scene was so real that many viewers in front of the screen were shocked.

Shen Huai's efforts during the filming were not in vain. The effect of using real centipedes is far beyond the special effects.

Although it only passed by briefly, the visual impact and realism made all the viewers terrified.

Until the centipede crawled away, Shen Huai was still panting with fear on his face, and his voice even trembled.

[This centipede is definitely not a 50-cent special effect, it’s too real! 】

[Holy shit, is this a real centipede? It’s scary! 】

[Huaizi's acting skills are okay, at least he won't make a scene. 】

[More than just good, I can’t even describe it as outstanding! 】

……

at home.

Although this is not the first time Shen Huai has seen a finished film, he is still a little proud of his performance on the screen.

With the atmospheric rendering and soundtrack, this shot is more visually impactful than what I’ve seen on the set before!

This also makes him glad that he insisted on using real centipedes for filming despite all the objections. Haha, it’s me as expected!

"What a great performance!" Mu Chan on the side gave a thumbs up and said, "I really didn't expect you to have such a talent in acting."

Shen Huai chuckled and said, "I've told you before, my acting talent is no worse than music creation!"

"Then why didn't you perform like this when you starred in "Air Combat"?" Mu Chan asked doubtfully.

She didn't mean to poke Shen Huai's pain points, but she was really confused.

Judging from Shen Huai's acting skills in "The Box", no matter what he does, he will never act like that!

Shen Huai coughed lightly and said, "Don't you allow me to improve my acting skills?"

"Really? That's a huge improvement..." Mu Chan said doubtfully.

Shen Huai responded without blushing, "Yes, maybe this is talent..."

The two chatted while continuing to watch the short film.

In the plot, the protagonist who has recovered from his energy keeps hitting the box, but it has no effect at all.

The anxious emotions accumulated in the protagonist's heart, which also made every audience member feel a little tense.

Who knocked him unconscious, where is he being held now, and when will he be rescued?

With such questions and confusion, they continued to watch intently.

It wasn't until the protagonist picked up a mobile phone that they breathed a sigh of relief from this tense plot!

[You must be rescued next... Damn, it’s so real, I feel panicked! 】

[I think it’s definitely not there. I didn’t see the name of the short film, so it’s called “Box”. Why should I watch it if I rescue it now? 】

[At least there is hope, let’s watch the next plot development! 】

……

The plot gradually got better, and most of the viewers who clicked on the video were attracted by the suspenseful and tense atmosphere and continued to watch.

The protagonist got the phone, but it was locked with a password. Fortunately, he could call 110 for emergency help.

At this point in the story, things seemed to suddenly become clear.

Because Shen Huai's performance was so real, the audience had a strong sense of involvement, as if the people locked in the iron box were themselves.

After seeing the protagonist dial 110, they all breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously!

After a few twists and turns, everything seemed to be going in the right direction.

He is finally saved! He even imagined the police opening the door and coming in to save him.

The audience is also looking forward to the moment when the protagonist is rescued!

But reality is always extremely cruel!

Twenty minutes passed and there was still no movement, so he became anxious and called 110 again.

But the police's reply once again made his mood hit rock bottom. The police searched the entire church and found that there was no organ inside, so of course it was impossible to find him.

After several twists and turns, and the police suspected that Shen Huai was playing a prank, they decided to give up the search.

The audience's hearts also became lowered along with the protagonist's emotional changes.

Hopes continue to appear and are shattered again and again. Despair accumulates in the protagonist's heart, making the hearts of all the viewers tighten more and more.

It seemed that there was no hope of relying on the police. The only hope was placed on his wife, but the password of the mobile phone could not be opened after several attempts.

The protagonist kept trying the password, and suddenly a smile broke out on his restless face, and the password on his mobile phone was unlocked!

The attentive audience even exclaimed, "Hurry up and get on the phone!"

"The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please leave a message after the beep!"

"Xiaoling, I am Xiang Cheng, please call the police for me now..."

While Shen Huai was leaving a message, he seemed to hear his wife's call, and he suddenly became excited. But soon, he discovered that this was just empty joy, and the call was not connected.

At that moment, Shen Huai's half-opened and half-closed eyes were dim, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

Hope again and again is met with despair again and again, the protagonist Xiang Cheng collapses!

The audience looked at the protagonist curled up and crying, and their hearts became more and more depressed, especially when the protagonist said the sentence "I might die here...".

The intense despair and the helpless feeling of not being able to survive instantly hit the hearts of every audience!

Later, Shen Huai's confession to his wife Xiaoling moved many viewers to tears.

Shen Huai's helplessness and despair in the camera also moved all the viewers!

【So touching! Never give up! 】

【They will definitely get together, right? 】

[This... the acting is too real. 】

[Depressive short film, you deserve it! 】

[Director, come out, I will never beat you to death! 】

……

But at this moment...the reversal is coming!

Just when he was in despair, when even the protagonist had given up, a light suddenly appeared on his cheek.

A bright light shone on his eyes.

The box was opened and his colleagues stood outside the box and asked him if he was okay.

It turns out that the root of all this actually stems from himself, because he has been committed to research on brain changes in a closed state...

It was really a false alarm. Both the protagonist Xiang Cheng and the audience in front of the computer felt like they were surviving a disaster!

Seeing this, the audience in front of the computer breathed a sigh of relief. They had had enough of this depressing and desperate atmosphere!

Hope again and again, despair again and again, made them eager to escape from this iron box.

Although this ending is a bit satisfactory, as long as the protagonist can be saved, they don't care so much.

[I finally breathed a sigh of relief. This movie was really a bit depressing, but fortunately it had a happy ending! 】

【Are you saved? It’s really great! 】

[Applause should be given here, it was so difficult, I finally escaped! 】

[Here I go, that’s what happened! 】

Of course, some people complained.

[It feels unreasonable. We use real centipedes for experiments, and people will die! 】

[Then why was he knocked unconscious at the beginning? Is it a gimmick? 】

[It feels a bit anticlimactic! 】

There was a lot of discussion on the barrage, but in the next moment, everyone changed their original minds.

Just when the protagonist felt like he was surviving a disaster, his eyes suddenly darkened.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the box again!

what happened! The audience felt a thrill for no reason!

Could it be that being rescued before was just his fantasy?

Everyone's minds were instantly attracted to the plot... They couldn't wait to find out what happened.

When the camera turned, the protagonist Xiang Cheng was lying on the hospital bed with a ventilator.

【What exactly is going on! 】

[Can anyone tell me what happened? 】

The audience was very confused about what was going on and why he was suddenly in the hospital bed again.

At this moment, the attending doctor gave the answer.

"The patient has a brainstem hemorrhage!"

"The patient must have been hit by a hard object!"

"Actually, there is a report about this, saying that the patient was hit from behind by someone during the experiment, but the person could not be found nearby!"

On the side, his wife Xiaoling was looking at her husband with concern and pain.

[He actually fainted... Could it be that everything that happened before was the protagonist's subconscious! 】

[Am I not intelligent enough? What is the situation? 】

[It’s just a short film, how can it show off your IQ like this! 】

With emotions of confusion and shock, the audience can't wait to see the next plot.

The camera changes to show the previous treatment scene.

"Laryngoscope!" the doctor ordered.

A medical staff inserted a long, curved laryngoscope into the protagonist's mouth.

Subconsciously, the protagonist feels breathless, as if someone is holding his throat!

Everyone’s eyes widened—it was like this!

The audience all felt their scalps tingling, and their hearts were so shocked that their breathing became short.

It turns out that the reason I subconsciously felt difficulty breathing was because of the laryngoscopy!

What about the things that the protagonist encounters next...will everything correspond to reality?

The audience felt their hearts beating loudly and felt indescribable shock and horror!

In the exciting soundtrack, all the mysteries are about to be revealed!

"It's time for an injection." In the video, medical staff wearing masks give the protagonist an injection.

Some viewers who reacted quickly were extremely shocked - this is a centipede! This is a centipede biting him!

The audience felt their blood boiling and their emotions became agitated!

This solution is really shocking and amazing.

Sure enough, the next scene is the scene where the protagonist is bitten by a centipede!

When he was put on a stretcher for rescue... subconsciously he felt the box moving towards his feet.

During a brain CT scan, the sound produced by the instrument corresponds to the protagonist's feeling that he heard the sound of a pipe organ.

After hearing the news, his wife Xiaoling rushed over and called his name twice in the ward. Subconsciously, he heard his wife's voice while dialing the phone!

The doctor used a flashlight to check her pupil reaction. Subconsciously, the light shone on his face when the box was opened, and he was saved!

Everything that happened before corresponds to this moment!

It turns out that the protagonist Xiang Cheng has never woken up.

He said in the box that everything he encountered happened in his subconscious mind.

But the protagonist's heart-stopping despair and helplessness are real.

The hope that comes to his subconscious again and again is his desire to survive that bursts out under the stimulation of the outside world!

But failure after failure dragged him into an abyss from which he could not extricate himself, and he could only sink deeper and deeper.

He could hear his lover's cry, but except for desperately answering in the world in his mind, he could not make any physical response.

This feeling... is creepy just thinking about it.

Just like the last scene of the film, the protagonist is struggling and shouting desperately in the box, and the camera gradually rises and zooms out - the box is actually invisible, so it is indestructible.

The protagonist is eventually engulfed by endless darkness, which also means that the protagonist has never woken up. His consciousness is permanently locked in an iron box and cannot escape!

The physical body is dead, but the consciousness is still alive. This situation... is the real despair!

"Being locked in a small, dark space may be one of the most common fears humans have."

But when the conclusion of the short film appeared on the screen, the audience woke up from the heart-pounding emotions!

The video barrage exploded instantly!

【It turns out to be like this! Oh My God! I'm going crazy! 】

【It’s so shocking! All of this is subconscious! 】

[Shocking reversal, unexpected ending! 】

[I was so frightened watching it that I had nightmares at night. 】

[Wow... so scary! Is this what the world of vegetative people is like? 】

……

No one can describe the shock in their hearts.

They have seen too many clips about vegetative states in TV dramas, but they have never thought about what a vegetative state is like!

But it wasn't until this moment that they entered the subconscious of a vegetative person...that they truly understood the despair and helplessness of a vegetative person.

If you can't sympathize with their pain, naturally you won't be able to appreciate their joy after they are lucky enough to wake up!

After watching the film, they unconsciously sympathized with the vegetative people - locked up in iron boxes day after day, year after year!

In this situation, maybe life is really worse than death!

After continuously deepening their involvement in the characters, what they saw from this short film was not just the short film itself!

Being locked up in a box is certainly depressing, but with all the bustle and bustle outside the box, can we be free and happy?

Deception, betrayal, the despicability of human nature, animal desires, the instinct to hurt each other, none of them are inferior to the despair and loneliness that fills the box.

Or maybe, life is just a box, but we just keep it for a long time, and we who are boiling frogs in cold water are not aware of the loss every minute and second.

While they felt shocked, they also felt a little palpitated...
