Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 425 President Pei Was Moved to Tears (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Master Qing Xin Ru Zhi Shui)
After "scouting" outside for three hours, Lu Zhiyao returned to his capsule and resumed his monotonous daily life.
The beginning used a lot of space to describe some details of future life, such as relief meals, expensive snacks, and variety shows that could be guessed, and so on.
Lu Zhiyao's performance in this section was just right. He was just a poverty-stricken person at the bottom, manipulated by these simple joys, sorrows, and pleasures.
He would celebrate happily when he earned money from watching TV shows;
He would fly into a rage when his guesses ended up with nothing;
Sometimes he would feel empty and desperate, lying motionless in the capsule;
Sometimes he would look at the tempting advertisements and the upper-class life in the skyscrapers in the distance, full of envy.
Various advertisements were playing on the TV shows, although they only appeared as background, they were still filmed with great care.
Lin Ruyi appeared, gradually established a romantic relationship with the protagonist, and then proposed the idea of participating in a talent show...
...
Pei Qian was very familiar with the subsequent plot because he wrote the entire plot outline, and he had already watched the rough-cut video.
However, as he watched, he couldn't help but immerse himself in it, his emotions completely led by the movie.
Excellent editing made the length of each plot just right, leaving enough room for aftertaste, while allowing the audience's emotions to quickly transition to the next plot;
The actors' superb acting skills perfectly presented vivid characters on the big screen, creating a strong emotional resonance among the audience;
The excellent background music perfectly set off the emotions, and the audience's emotions were induced and highly consistent with the movie;
Exquisite props and expensive external special effects gave the whole film a unique sci-fi temperament, creating a sense of alienation from the real world for the audience, while at the same time, there was a wonderful sense of reality, as if the movie presented a real future world...
This is the magic of film and television.
A simple story outline is ultimately pale and weak, but once it is made into a movie, a large number of details will be added, and at the same time, the multi-dimensional sensory stimulation of audio-visual will give people a brand new experience.
These details were so perfect that even the advertisements in the movie didn't make people feel out of place at all, and even made people think that many of the incomprehensible advertisements were quite interesting!
Pei Qian mechanically stuffed popcorn into his mouth, with only one thought in his mind.
Is this freaking script written by me?
The story outline was indeed similar to what he had written, but the finished product was completely different from what he had expected!
The first half of the plot didn't show anything, but after more than half of the plot, the whole story took a sharp turn and revealed its hideous fangs!
The scene where Lin Ruyi confessed to Lu Zhiyao caused a burst of gasps in the movie theater.
Obviously, many viewers were shocked by this unexpected development and found it difficult to accept for a while.
However, the scene of swearing and cursing that Pei Qian had imagined did not appear.
Instead, everyone watched more carefully!
Even Pei Qian himself did not feel angry or poisoned at all, but was looking forward to the future plot development in shock.
Then he realized there was a big problem here.
That shouldn't be, why don't I feel angry when I see this scene?
Isn't this supposed to be a very poisonous plot?
Stuffing another handful of popcorn into his mouth, Pei Qian tried hard to analyze the reason for this emotion.
It seemed that the movie created a unique sense of alienation.
At the beginning, the movie spent a lot of time describing the protagonist's daily life, including him eating fast food, watching wonderful TV shows, and wandering aimlessly on the street in the early morning, and so on.
However, this did not deepen the audience's sense of immersion, but completely stripped the audience's vision, turning them into an unrelated bystander.
During the filming process, the camera gave people the feeling of being a monitor, coldly and without any emotion overlooking the life of the male protagonist in this world.
The sweetness of the male and female protagonists' love was dissolved, and the pain of breaking up was naturally dissolved. This method allowed the audience to feel the emotional fluctuations of the protagonists, but it was as if there was a layer of mirror, which would not cause too intense emotional fluctuations in their hearts.
Pei Qian suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
Movies are an artistic form of expression, but the same script can be filmed into completely different works when handed over to different directors!
This is because in the process of filming, the director will constantly add some "private goods", shooting techniques, various details in the movie, the rhythm of telling the story...
These will all affect the audience's perception of a story.
Some seemingly very boring scripts become classics in film history after being filmed by directors with strong personal styles, and that's why!
Obviously, Zhu Xiaoce's understanding of this story was completely different from Pei Qian's original intention...
And the director obviously filmed according to his own understanding, so after editing and doing the post-production, the entire movie had completely deviated from the meaning Pei Qian originally wanted to express.
The original "toxicity" was mostly eliminated, replaced by a heartfelt compassion.
What the heroine did was very hateful, but the audience couldn't hate her;
The male protagonist was obviously very miserable and stupid, but the audience's emotions towards him were only a faint sympathy, lamenting his misfortune and being angry at his lack of ambition.
And when the male protagonist finally obtained huge wealth and seemed to become an upper-class person, the audience was not happy for him, but could clearly feel that he had lost himself.
The audience's perception of the male protagonist instantly became strange, and they could feel that in the whirlpool of material and money, he had completely lost himself.
Wealth did not make him superior, but controlled his life and turned him into a pathetic wretch.
In the end, the protagonist played by Lu Zhiyao was framed by the judge played by Zhang Zuting, his reputation was ruined and he was in huge debt, lying on the bed like a living dead.
On the big screen, the woman who was selected by the judges to replace him was doing almost the same things as before, and the story seemed to enter a desperate cycle...
The screen went black.
The movie ended here.
The end credits song played, with a special kind of sadness and desolation in the singing.
This was originally the song sung by the heroine played by Lin Ruyi when she participated in the talent show, and was severely ridiculed and satirized by the judges, who said that she was out of tune. At that time, it did not leave too deep an impression on the audience.
However, after being placed at the end, the singing method of this song seemed to have undergone some slight changes, and the comparison between the two versions added an unspeakable meaning.
Pei Qian looked at the crowd in the theater.
What's going on, isn't this ending poisonous enough?
Shouldn't you stand up and shout for a refund now?
Or, at least make some sounds like "tsk" or "what the hell"?
However, the entire theater was still quiet, and no one stood up, let alone made a sound.
A list of cast and crew.
Pei Qian found that his name was placed first in the screenwriting team, on a separate line, and it also said "Special Thanks".
This did not comfort President Pei, whose heart was chilled.
The first Easter egg was the judge played by Zhang Zuting leisurely enjoying his holiday in his mansion, the wine glass gently shaking, the dark red wine reflecting the judge's face.
The woman sitting opposite was heavily made up, and was the host who was pushed up by the judge to replace the protagonist after the protagonist played by Lu Zhiyao was ruined.
However, the sound of sirens suddenly sounded outside. In the chaos, the woman stood up慌乱ly and walked out. The judge stood up in panic, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, splashing fragments.
After a while, the judge did not return.
But the female host who looked very panicked just now came back and sat in the seat, poured some red wine with another intact glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
The camera finally stayed on her delicate red lips, the corners of her mouth slightly curved, revealing a meaningful smile.
Another list of cast and crew.
The second Easter egg was still in the male protagonist's capsule.
The male protagonist's posture of瘫 lying on the ground remained unchanged, but his long hair and beard and the vicissitudes of wrinkles on his face were hinting that a long time had passed.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and an alarm sounded.
With a "bang", the door of the capsule was knocked open. Someone seemed to throw something inside and then turned and left.
Outside, there were still faint angry roars, and it seemed that the poor were having a fierce armed conflict with the people who came to maintain order.
The male protagonist blankly came to the door and found that it was a blood-stained pistol.
...
With a "snap", the lights in the movie theater came on.
Many viewers seemed to wake up from a dream at this time and stood up one after another.
The audience did not complain or scold, but remained silent, seemingly not completely free from the emotions brought by the movie.
Some people were also discussing in low voices.
"This movie is just amazing... Is this really a movie made by a domestic director?"
"Yeah, this brain hole, this divine reversal, I was stunned!"
"I don't know why I feel a little blocked in my heart after watching it..."
"It's quite good as a drama."
"I always feel that this plot is very profound. I didn't understand many places too well. Let's wait for the movie reviews."
"Don't say, Lu Zhiyao's acting skills in this movie are really good. Unexpectedly, there is no sense of disharmony at all!"
The couple sitting next to him also stood up and walked out with the crowd.
"It's not the love movie I imagined, but it's unexpectedly good."
"Yeah, I think this movie is hinting at us to cherish the people in front of us. Honey, we must be well."
"This movie is really touching. I cried so much." The girl wiped her tears with a tissue.
She turned her head slightly and looked at the seat next to her, and then said in a low voice: "Look, that little brother was also moved to tears."
In the seat, Pei Qian silently stuffed popcorn into his mouth, tears streaming down his face.
It's over, this movie is over!
What are these viewers' comments?
"Worth the ticket price"?
"Pretty good"?
"Profound plot"?
"Looking forward to movie reviews"?
What is this all about!
These viewers, completely misunderstood!
I just wanted to poison you!
"Hic."
Pei Qian burped while crying.
It seems I ate too much popcorn...
