Chapter 171: Film Critics' Public Screening
September 15th is not a big day. Xu Song entered the rematch after two rounds of competition in the Beijing Station audition of "Super Boys", only to reach the finals in the last round; Johnny directly advanced without the mentor's action and was about to enter the live broadcast scene in "The Good Songs of China". Shao Yingxiong's "Source Code" also launched a film critic release, even if there is only one.
On this day, the red carpet was also laid in the theater of Huayi Cinema. Two hundred critics from home and abroad walked past the red carpet like stars. Shao Yingxiong confessed at the press conference that he wanted to use these critics to build momentum for "Source Code". This is his first film written, self-acting and directing, and even if he used some means, it was understandable. On that day, Fan Bingbing did not attend the performance of "The Legend of the Swords", but Lin Xilei came from Xiangjiang all the way.
"Why are you here?"
After the press conference, Shao Yingxiong asked curiously. He knew that Lin Xilei had his Baodao ID card, and that Lin Xilei developed in Xiangjiang, and had recently turned to the mainland. But he never knew that Lin Xilei was so enthusiastic. The key was that Huayi did not notify the main creators to participate in today's event. The publicity on entertainment programs in various places a few days ago was the main creators who had to participate.
"I am also one of the leading actors, this is my duty." Lin Xilei's answer made Shao Yingxiong really unable to say anything. There is a feeling that he would feel that he would be too much, but he would not say too little.
"Hey." Lin Xilei took out a one-yuan coin when Shao Yingxiong was speechless, then stuffed it into Shao Yingxiong's suit pocket and said: "Do you still remember our bet? I decided to raise the bet. I can win the "Assembly" with this dollar."
Shao Yingxiong laughed out loud: "You are not stupid at all, we just bet. You still have to both goals, which means that you will not lose or win no matter what. I can't even win a dollar, right?"
"Are you missing this coin?" Lin Xilei asked quirkyly. She was wearing a black long skirt and let her long hair draped over her shoulders and her hands were behind her back, looking very playful.
When the other party asked this, Shao Yingxiong could only answer: "No shortage."
"That's fine. You don't lack this coin, why should you beat me?"
Lin Xilei said as if she was acting coquettishly with her own brother: "Actually, I am not here to participate in this event. I am an endorsement in Beijing. When I saw the news, I found that our movie was promoting..."
It would be fine if this is not explained, but once it is explained, it seems that all the words said become redundant.
"Xiao Shao Leilei. The movie is about to begin, what are you two doing?" Wang Zhongjun was busy and arranged the film critics. He turned around and found that there was no real master Shao Yingxiong behind him. So what is this?
When I came out, Shao Yingxiong and Lin Xilei were crying silently. No, they lowered their heads silently. Since there was no chance to watch it, Wang Zhongjun simply called Shao Yingxiong back: "You said you, I don't know whose movie this is. I was so busy that I was sweating all over the door. You're good, standing at the door as if nothing was wrong." When the three of them walked towards the entrance of the cinema, Wang Zhongjun said to the security guards on both sides: "Look tight, no one is allowed to let it go."
In that situation, the entire United Nations summit held a secret meeting, and more than a dozen security guards stood at the entrance of the cinema and the screening room. Not to mention that someone had always recorded the videos, even mosquitoes could not fly in.
Shao Yingxiong, Wang Zhongjun and Lin Xilei sat in the last row of tiredness, while Lin Xilei sat between them. As a result, Wang Zhongjun called out the phone less than five minutes after entering the venue.
At this time, various trailers on the screen stopped playing. After the opening of the "Dragon Biao" appeared, the opening of the hero Huayi appeared.
Shao Yingxiong has not changed any changes to the opening, and he also used the opening of Lao Huayi, so that he can directly inherit the original attractiveness of Huayi and will not make the audience feel unfamiliar when watching the opening.
When the opening of the film ended, a dark scene appeared on the screen. This was a dark scene that Shao Yingxiong deliberately cut out. It took about ten seconds to create a repressive mentality for the audience.
Ten seconds later, Shao Yingxiong's voice came again, which was next to him who matched the movie: "Do you believe that everything we see is just a program?"
There is no explanation given in the opening of the dark movie. Shao Yingxiong came up and asked questions to all the audience, and grabbed the audience's suspense.
boom!
A flash of lightning fell on the screen, and the original black screen suddenly turned into a night sky without stars, without any warning, and what could be connected was so wonderful.
Lightning fell on a dead tree, and the current rolling after the tree was hit by lightning caused a raging fire.
Then...
The night turned into daylight, the dead trees were burned into coke, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
At this time, the camera turned into a wide angle of aerial photography. The rain filled the river, making the river rush, and the flood rushed through the embankment in the turbulent waves...
Lightning, flames, floods, next, mudslides, avalanches, hurricanes, and natural disasters.
This process lasted for about a few seconds, and then the ice and snow melted on the screen, the seeds sprouted, and the baby grew up crying and aged as he moved.
No one explained what these things mean, but every moviegoer remembered the question raised by Shao Yingxiong. If all this is just a program, then unzipping this program is equivalent to becoming a god!
When the movie was played here, these critics became interested. This "Source Code" made such a big proposition. Even if StarCraft appears next, it will appear too small. They all want to know what kind of story Shao Yingxiong used to combine such propositions and how to solve this proposition.
Swish.
There was another change on the screen, and the change in perspective made the image just now appear on the screen in the movie. With the adjustment of focal length, the audience saw a university classroom. In the classroom, Fan Fei was playing this video as an assistant, while Kou Shirong was extremely excited to explain his understanding of the world.
"The reason why the world is grand is because we are all in the world. I wonder if you have ever thought that maybe the universe is very small, just like humans looking at bacteria through a microscope. Maybe what we see is the world of bacteria, but the so-called world is not worth mentioning to us. So, how should we know whether this world is big or small, and what is it composed of? This is what we are going to study today. After getting the answer to this question, we are equivalent to getting a formula. At that time, the entire universe will become a constantly changing program in our eyes, and we can use this formula to unravel all mysteries..."
The camera turned around. Kou Shirong's enthusiasm was a depression of two or three big cats in the university classroom. Except for a few people wearing back glasses, they were extremely boring natural students who were studying astronomy or archaeology.
bell……
After the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Kou Shirong said to everyone: "Okay, classmates. Let's be here today."
All the students left the classroom almost at the same time. Fan Bingbing approached Kou Shixiang in a white coat and glasses. "Professor, the laboratory is urging me again. If we still can't get all the money on time, I'm afraid people will kick us out. Also, many of our equipment have not been maintained for a long time. As long as you are not persistent in this field where you don't know if you can touch the edges, a company will immediately hire you with a million-dollar annual salary."
She paused for a moment and said regretfully: "Why do you have to?"
Kou Shirong, who was cleaning up the textbook, looked up at Fan Bingbing and made an extremely disdainful voice, "hum". He reached out to take out the chalk and wrote a bunch of messy symbols on the blackboard, but these symbols looked like a formula through arrangement.
When, when, when, when.
Kou Shirong threw away the chalk, tapped the blackboard with his index finger joint a few times and said, "This can change the world, disappear the world, and see the world. Compared with it, is money still useful?"
The camera flashed, and the string of formulas was dissatisfied with the huge blackboard, growing so far that it was outrageous.
"Unlock this, I am God."
Kou Shirong spread his hands and looked at Fan Bingbing with God's eyes at believers. He couldn't understand why "people" were so naive.
boom!
A loud bang came, and Kou Shirong on the screen felt the vibration of the earth, and even the roof of the classroom was constantly falling.
At that moment, Kou Shiyue turned his head and looked in the direction of the loud noise, and black smoke rolled in the distance.
"Where is that?"
Fan Bingbing took a closer look: "It seems to be near the train station."
"It's bad, my daughter is back today!"
...
Wang Zhongjun had already come back. In order not to disturb these critics' viewing, he sat in the first row that no one wanted to sit, and was still watching the movie with his head raised in the first row.
Seeing this, Wang Zhongjun must admit that Shao Yingxiong does have two tricks. The opening of the movie alone has a very Hollywood style. No wonder Shao Yingxiong is able to be successful in this circle. If you want to be in this industry, you have to see whether you have real things in your hands.
...
The next plot is more like a scene taken by Hollywood. The professor was stopped near the train station due to a traffic jam. In desperation, he led his assistant to rush into the train station. At this moment, the camera changed again, and the picture turned into a news report. When the host was sitting in the studio to play the news, the movie scene just now appeared in the upper right corner of the host in the form of a small screen. In the host's introduction, the audience learned that this was a terrorist attack, but this was not the purpose, but just introducing the plot. In the picture below, the professor saw his daughter's body in the morgue of the hospital.
At that time, Kou Shirong was going crazy. He didn't smash things. The red bloodshot in his eyes, the big snot hanging on his nose and the spit on his mouth all proved that this person was about to collapse.
At this critical moment, two nurses carrying the bodies had a conversation and said that there was another passenger about to enter a brain-death state. They also said that in fact, the terrorists were ready for the next attack, but the relevant departments did not announce it.
bass.
Kou Shiyue ran out of the morgue. During the female assistant's inquiry, Kou Shiyue replied with a big nose on his face: "I only have one daughter, I want to take revenge!"
Fan Bingbing didn't say anything, chased after him and grabbed Kou Shirong's arm, and whispered: "Professor, I am an orphan. It was you who helped me to go to school that I have today. I will help you."
A gentle music sounded. In the music, Kou Shirong and Fan Bingbing stole the body that was about to enter a brain-death state. In the music, they stole a critically ill patient in the intensive care unit of the hospital who would immediately die as long as the oxygen tube was removed.
Their experiment began. Kou Shirong's sleepless calculations were introduced on the screen in the spring and autumn style. There was no mention of time here, but he mentioned in his conversation with Fan Bingbing: "Actually, I have been calculating, and it's only the last step away."
...
Seeing this, Shao Yingxiong knew that he had won. Kou Shirong, an old actor from Baodao, played a brilliant role, combining the image of a father and a professor who regards money as dirt just right.
However, this beginning has attracted the attention of more than 200 film critics on the scene, and almost every one of them is immersed in the plot.
...
The movie continued, the experiment failed, and the cycle of stealing corpses three times in a row, Kou Shirong put his vision on these people not strong enough. When Shao Yingxiong was lying on the hospital bed and was stolen by them, the experiment finally succeeded!
Here, it is basically seamlessly connected to the original film. The only problem is that the puzzle that Kou Shirong has not solved for so long is that it was too coincidental to solve after his daughter's accident. If you insist on saying it, it may be too easy to add a plot of stealing a severely ill patient.
But, are these problems for movies?
No, absolutely not. There is no problem with that movie? Some movies are even linked together through countless coincidences, such as "Pulp Novel".
...
bump.
Shao Yingxiong woke up leisurely on the train and bumped his arm into the table. This was his first eight minutes. He wasted the complete eight minutes without knowing it. After that, the train exploded for the first time.
The explosion scene produced by Hollywood Special Effects Company is too real, and the scene where airflow and steaming flames are combined makes everyone think they are watching Hollywood blockbusters.
When Shao Yingxiong woke up again in an object similar to a space capsule, the film critics present discovered that Kou Shirong was not the male lead. They wanted to strangle themselves to death. The critics actually forgot to analyze and fell into the plot, unable to control their thinking at all.
The first conversation between Shao Yingxiong and Fan Bingbing appeared. When the audience had learned that Fan Bingbing was a fake military personnel, Shao Yingxiong on the screen did not see any flaws. He learned about his location through conversation and his mission, but did not get any other information and was thrown back into the eight-minute cycle at once.
The second round of the cycle began, and finally a film critic began to record. From the angle that Shao Yingxiong could see, he found that a film critic wrote the name of "Groundhog Day", and a foreign film critic next to him also wrote the English. Shao Yingxiong didn't know these English very well, but he could figure out what this was.
The plot is repeated again and again, and Shao Yingxiong has been persisting in the movie, and even with the idea of running away, he does not retreat.
During this process, Shao Yingxiong fell in love with Lin Xilei, who could only spend eight minutes with him. After kissing Lin Xilei when he was about to die, the two's feelings quickly heated up, but Lin Xilei did not show the passion of a couple.
The film critic just wrote down this paragraph in his notebook and immediately crossed it out with a pen. Indeed, for Lin Xilei, every time Shao Yingxiong returns to these eight minutes, she is experiencing the first time. How could she show the intimacy between lovers?
Chapter completed!
