Chapter 1117: An Uneasy Story
Don't underestimate the audience's IQ, and don't treat them as morons.
This is a hardware standard that all user experience projects must follow. The Lost City is a successful product. The ticket price of one thousand yuan has almost no negative reviews except for malicious troubles. Although the time for playing is limited, you don't need to queue for one or two hours for one project in a day like in Disney. Basically, you follow the guide given by the park. Three thousand people go on different routes in batches. Fifteen minutes is the longest waiting time. The playing time is enough to ensure that you can play most projects and have enough rest time.
TV programs and variety shows also use user experience to get their own value.
This is even more true for movies.
Someone once said that in the future world, when robots can replace a variety of jobs, all people will sell their time to obtain capital for survival. This time is different from before. It is not to work, not to sell physical strength, but to use your time and human brain to conduct user experience. A good thing requires a large amount of data to determine its value. After the fake is fake and cannot dominate the market, the accumulation of these data requires real user experience.
For example, whether a massage chair is good or not, whether it really has a certain therapeutic effect, is not just good as your manufacturer says. It requires a large number of users to try it and give a conclusion. The summary is the value of your product. And these data require users to take time to experience. The value of this time is the brain labor that robots can never replace after replacing a large number of simple and crude jobs.
This trend sounds a bit strange now. It seems that this argument is made by lazy people. They don’t have to do anything. They lie at home every day. When a game comes out, I go in and play it. Not only play, but also pay for the user experience and gain benefits.
In fact, it is gradually developing towards this trend. Movies and TV are two-way. There is a certain degree of publicity effect brought by user experience, and it also serves the audience to bring spiritual satisfaction to everyone.
In recent years, if you want to be a successful movie, you must first respect the audience’s IQ and follow the audience’s feelings. Finally, your user experience is successful, word of mouth will spread, and those who don’t want to go to the cinema to watch will be pulled in. The "Detective Chinatown" series is a typical example. From the director to the actors, none of them can be considered as popular stars. Compared with some phenomenal movies, this movie uses the brain-burning case that everyone thinks is the most difficult to solve to present a funny atmosphere. The comedy effect is undoubtedly very good. There will always be laughter on the scene when watching the movie, but in fact, it is the plot, especially some designs on the case, that support this play. It respects the audience's IQ and truly makes the word "brain-burning" come true, rather than relying on special effects and atmosphere of horror and suspense to create the so-called brain-burning.
In recent years, similar brain-burning themes, as long as you respect the audience's IQ, your own IQ is online, and you come up with a really good story plot, if there is a good cooperation, such as the funny comedy of "Detective Chinatown" and the explosive acting skills of "The Master of Memory", will become a real word-of-mouth drama. The box office may be affected by different tastes, but the evaluation of the whole play will never change because of the public or the niche.
"Departures" is the product of Chen Hao's respect for the audience's IQ and the subject matter he wants. This is not a detective film, but it is full of similar traces. One of the most important reasons why this film is not released in the mainland is that it does not blur the definition of the final reversal, nor does it maintain the result that justice must win.
There are no good people, and the winners are the bad guys. This is the conventional definition.
There are no bad people. From the perspective of any person, what he does is not a bad thing. Survival is the instinct of natural selection. In front of this instinct, there is no good or evil. This is a more macro definition.
Chen Bin's family, a family of four, lives in a small street. The story seems to revolve around this family and tells the story of Chen Bin's work as a mortician. In fact, it is a series of stories in this family that are finally summarized into the story of the profession of mortician.
In addition to the children who are just simple secret witnesses, Chen Bin's mother, played by Xi Meijuan, has had blood on her hands. Chen Bin's professional skills as an undertaker do not come from his deceased father, but from his mother, who seems to be a Buddhist at home, a former king and a tough character. Her past identity and experience were involved in the accidental events by Duan Yihong and people from all walks of life, forcing her to give up her current life of enjoying her old age.
Chen Bin's wife Liu Miao was unlucky to be forced to do something. When you live with a man who seems peaceful but is actually dark inside, or even a mother-in-law, for a long enough time, you who seem normal have already undergone a qualitative change, but you don't know it yourself. When you really encounter something, you will find that even if your hands are stained with blood, you can still calmly wash off the blood, get everything done, and then go home to cook dinner.
Chen Bin is a person who has witnessed the changes in his family since childhood and actually has a mental illness in his heart. In his world, there is no difference between humans and corpses, and he can do whatever he wants. This is why Liu Miao is scared from the bottom of his heart once he sees his eyes. If you are not afraid, it is very likely that you will close your eyes and never open them again.
The child is a witness and saw a lot of things that she shouldn't have seen. Her father knew all this, which was equivalent to walking her father's path again. So behind the witness, there is a voyeur.
When the peaceful life was changed by the appearance of a criminal, the family underwent a huge change. Chen Bin killed the criminal, which made the police start investigating and investigate him to a certain extent. The alibi witness of the time was his mother. A very urgent job was waiting for Chen Bin at the funeral home, and he was killing people at home at this time. His mother carried the tools in her room and entered the funeral home to help her son complete the work. With the craftsmanship that is almost impossible to imitate, according to the confirmation of the funeral home staff, it takes at least six or seven hours to complete this work. No one can do it except Chen Bin. Although there is no time witness, it indirectly proves that Chen Bin was in the funeral home that night.
Liu Miao witnessed everything and silently helped her husband to clean up everything at home, while the child witnessed everything in the gap of the door.
When the accomplice of the criminal does not need to abide by the so-called evidence, I doubt you and come to your principle. When I found Chen's house, Liu Miao completed her killing.
The policeman played by Duan Yihong disappeared, and he found the Chen family, but eventually they were on the road to destruction. For the three people in the Chen family, killing him and destroying his body was the most effective way they could think of.
Being implicated in a case, a series of things were dug up, from a few years ago, more than a decade ago, thirty years ago, Chen Bin's, Chen Bin's parents', all were revealed little by little along the main plot. Just when everyone was thinking about what the ending would be for this family, the missing Duan Yihong suddenly became the scapegoat. When the plot reached the end, the clues from Duan Yihong's life gradually decreased. Brutality and bloodiness were not the themes, but the efforts made by this family to protect this family and themselves. Even if it was wrong, even if it was sinful, they were trying to protect themselves, until the end, even the concept of "suspect-guilt-from-no" was erased. Relying on the concept of everyone protecting the family and themselves, this family of four never gathered together for the so-called mutual confession, including the child facing the questioning at the end. The innocent eyes gave people a sense of trust from the beginning, but she just calmly lied in the process of narrating the facts in one or two very subtle details, which eliminated the family's suspicion and made the final conclusion.
Liu Miao did not enter her mother-in-law's room because she knew that her mother-in-law had done something in that room, and this old past was exactly the reason why she married Chen Bin. If the old lady had not wiped out some troubles that could ruin her life, she would not have her current life. So many years have passed, and Liu Miao selectively forgot the bloody night in that room, but she knew that she should not enter that room.
Everyone has a devil in their heart. The devil of this family of four is particularly powerful. Once released, it will have great lethality.
Everyone has his own persistence in his heart. No matter what he has done, this persistence is what he thinks is the warmest thing.
In the Chen family.
Chen Bin went out to make money, the old lady lived in retirement, and Liu Miao enjoyed the extreme material life supported by his family's economy.
Every day, following the routine, getting up, cooking, eating, going to work, cooking, eating, sleeping, these boring lives that have been the same for years are exactly what this family needs. The factor that prompted the child to become a witness was not only what she saw happening in her own family, but when she got used to hiding in the dark to observe others and felt that it was very happy, she saw what happened in some families on the small street.
There are many normal people in the small street, but their family life seems peaceful and happy. Privately, they beat and scold, abuse, domestic violence, and even intrigues and fights between relatives, and the absence of family affection, all of which stimulate the child and make her feel that her home is the real home. Our strength is external, unlike these people. Why do they pretend to be happy and why do they face their own family with all their strength?
There are also some abnormal people in the small street. Duan Yihong is a good and qualified policeman, but in this street, he is like a joke. The child of the Chen family saw some things. It is definitely not just her family members who have killed people on this street. This has caused her psychological barriers since she was very young. Even if she starts to get in touch with what the law is at school, she feels that it is unnecessary to exist. On this street, people who have killed people and committed crimes have more or less come into contact with Duan Yihong as neighbors. In the eyes of the child, especially when she secretly saw those neighbors' disdainful smiles with their backs to Duan Yihong, her little heart has long been distorted.
Four people in the family all have different degrees of mental illness, which does not affect their lives, but affects the way and value of survival.
When a young reporter who has lived in the sun since childhood and has no dark side from inside to outside stepped into this case, the truth began to emerge...
