Chapter 2005: 2005 Breaking Free From the Chains
It was not until this moment that the movie really showed the behind-the-scenes production team of the reality show "The Truman Show". Thirty years ago, the Omnicom TV production company adopted a baby. They built a studio and created a perfect paradise like Paradise Island. "The only buildings that can be seen from outer space overlooking the earth are Paradise Island. studio and the Great Wall”, and then used more than 5,000 video cameras to record all aspects of the baby in all directions.
More than 200 countries and regions watched him learn to walk, and everyone witnessed his first kiss... 24 hours a week, 7 days a week, non-stop filming, and live broadcasts around the world without any omissions. This created a whole new history of reality TV and made it a part of everyone's life.
"The Truman Show" producer Christopher accepted a live interview on the show. They believe that all the recent chaos originated from Truman's father re-entering the studio. And they think Christopher handled his father very well, turning this possible disaster into the most successful emotional explosion in the history of the show.
After the show opened the audience hotline, Sylvia—that is, Lauren—successfully entered the program group. Christopher recognized the voice immediately. He thought Sylvia was just a speculator who wanted to become famous. "What qualifications do you have to judge him? How do you know what is suitable for him?"
Sylvia vented her anger heartily on the phone, "Then who gave you the right to make a baby's life a farce! Don't you feel guilty at all?"
"I provided Truman with a perfect life!" Christopher had no regrets at all, "The world you live in is sick, and Paradise Island is the ideal model world."
"He's not an actor, he's a prisoner!" Sylvia firmly expressed her point of view, "Look at him, look at what you did to him!"
"He can leave at any time," Christopher said calmly and didn't care at all. "If he is a little bit ambitious, if he is determined to find out the truth, we can't stop him. In fact, there is another reason for your uneasiness, which is Because Truman willingly stayed in your so-called prison."
Sylvia gritted her teeth tightly, "You are wrong, you are absolutely wrong! Truman will prove you wrong!"
But Christopher was unmoved, ended the interview, and the TV show began the next episode preview. In the next episode, "Meryl will leave Truman, and Truman will usher in his second spring."
The program team actually arranged Truman's love life again! It's simply... unreasonable that a person's emotional direction can be determined by understatement! The anger in Leonardo's chest finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he yelled, "Mouth full of shit!" But this time Leonardo didn't apologize, and the other audience in the cinema didn't complain, or even People ignore Leonardo's impolite voice.
Because at this moment, there is no exception in the movie theater. Christopher's arrogance and self-confidence as God made everyone shudder, and the chills that came one after another couldn't be stopped at all, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his chest , couldn't breathe at all, and couldn't speak at the same time, the sad and ridiculous sense of absurdity made all emotions slowly settle down.
In the next few days, Truman's life seemed to have returned to normal. Meryl left his life, and a young girl with blond hair and shawl appeared in his company. Obviously, this was Truman's "second spring" , as if everything had returned to normal together, back to the days before all the chaos started.
Truman once again muttered to himself in the mirror of the bathroom, entertaining himself by playing multiple roles by himself, which was full of childlike innocence, joy and coziness, and made people want to draw the corners of their mouths. However, at this moment, every audience in the cinema couldn't laugh. They could only look at Truman imprisoned in a transparent fish tank with a sad face.
The day-to-day normality made the program team relax their vigilance. One day Truman hid in the basement and was busy again. The program team didn't think much about it. Nothing happened, and there was no movement in the basement. They sent Ma Long to the scene to investigate in person, only to find that all of them had been deceived by Truman, who had long since disappeared!
In a panic, Christopher cut off the live broadcast directly, which made all the audience in front of the TV gasp, and every audience fell into a panic of shock. The program group was even more chaotic. It was already late at night, but the residents of the entire Paradise Island were dispatched collectively. Everyone joined hands and searched the studio.
Everyone is searching for the same person, but no one really means it. The neighbors released the puppies, as if they were looking for spoils; Truman's mother complained dissatisfiedly, thinking that Truman's willful behavior brought about the riot; Truman's father was full of confidence, thinking that Truman I definitely don't want to leave myself...
After continuous searching, there was still no sign. All stakeholders involved in the program became anxious. Christopher was under tremendous pressure. In an emergency, he suddenly realized something, so he ordered the long lens of the camera to search the sea. Sure enough, They successfully found Truman who set sail!
Truman actually defeated the inner demon, returned to the ocean, and chose sailing to leave this small island that bound his life!
Christopher immediately announced the resumption of the live TV broadcast, and the whole world received the signal of "The Truman Show" program again, and the audience even began to bet, "Odds 2 to 1, I don't think he can escape!" Indifference and cruelty rushed over. And all the audience in the movie theater sat up straight, staring at the big screen of the movie intently.
Truman sat on the sailboat and showed a bright smile, but he no longer had the deep-rooted fear. Truman, who put on the captain's nautical cap again, looked like Magellan who was exploring the sea. The smile on the forehead is moving, and the heart is surging without knowing it. Truman took out the collaged picture from his pocket, and it was Sylvia! This made Sylvia cry with joy in front of the TV.
The most ironic thing is that the program group wanted to send a ferry to chase Truman, but found that the driver of the ferry didn't know how to drive a boat at all—"I'm just a driver, an actor." In desperation, Christopher decided to launch the ultimate plan: Tsunami!
Since the entire island is a studio, the sea is a huge pool in which the waves can be controlled mechanically. At Christopher's insistence, the program team started the storm, which caused Truman's boat to toss and roll on the sea, crumbling. But Truman never gave up. He persistently pulled the cable, even tied himself to the boat with the cable, and was still unwilling to give up.
Christopher made the whole sea start to thunder and lightning, and the storm got stronger and stronger, one wave after another, and even the others couldn't stand it, "Stop it! For God's sake, the whole world is watching! Can't let He died in public!" But Christopher was unmoved, and just said calmly, "He was born in public!"
The ruthless sea swallowed Truman's life bit by bit, making all the audience in front of the TV—and in front of the movie screen couldn't help sweating hard, their hearts were tangled up hard, and even breathing Forgot all. At this moment, Truman struggled to grab the edge of the boat and firmly grasped his lifeline. In an instant, all the cheers resounded from all directions, making it difficult to tell whether it was on the big screen or on the big screen. off screen.
In the storm, Truman was still unwilling to give up. Not only the audience, but even the members of the program production team began to cheer for Truman. Truman was almost submerged in the waves, but he shouted unrelentingly to the storm, "Is this your limit? If you want to stop me, you have to kill me!"
Truman's roar made Christopher return to the director's station. He seemed to be completely crazy, crying and singing sailor's songs loudly. Even though the waves were higher and higher, he never hesitated or feared. That stubborn attitude made the program executives feel unbearable, and ordered Christopher to stop the broadcast immediately, but Christopher was uncompromising. Seeing Truman's provocation, he gritted his teeth tightly, "Strengthen the wind!"
But the staff refused to carry out the order, "Blow him into the sea! Blow him over!" Even though everyone around him was opposing and protesting, Christopher was still unmoved and yelled fiercely at the staff, "Shut up! Blow him over!" But the staff shook their heads with tears in their eyes, and Christopher simply rushed to the console and directly increased the wind power to the maximum.
The tsunami surged, one after another, the waves ruthlessly overturned the sailboat, and Truman hung on the bow of the boat like a lifeless water plant. Leonardo's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at the big screen motionless, only feeling that his heart had been pinched severely, and his brain was completely blanked by the cruel and suffocating reality.
It wasn't until Truman was overturned to the bottom of the sea, completely unconscious, and Christopher's blue eyes were slightly incited, that he gave the order to the staff to stop.
The tsunami dissipated, the sun revealed its original appearance, and the entire sea was calm, as if nothing had happened just now. Truman, who was completely unconscious, lay quietly on the bow of the boat like this, motionless, as if he had lost his vitality. This made everyone hold their breath, and everyone stopped their movements and watched quietly. Looking at the body that seemed to have no vitality, fearing that the man named Truman would never wake up again.
At this moment, Truman who was lying on the bow moved slightly, and then moaned in pain. Immediately, the smile on the corner of Leonardo's mouth was involuntarily outlined, not only him, but almost everyone's faces were so similar, with a faint smile, happy and complete.
