Chapter 142 Brainburning
When the movie started, the theater immediately became quiet. They were all professionals, so there was no need to remind them to watch movies quietly. Even Luo Jingchuan and Pang Bo, who were whispering to each other, stopped talking and turned their attention to the screen.
Most filmmakers are very self-centered, but neither of them was arrogant or conceited. They did not look down on Yan Ran. Although young filmmakers may be immature in filming, the thinking of young people can often bring them a lot of inspiration.
At the beginning of the movie, four pairs of young couples gathered together at night to chat. There was no explosive point that caught the audience's attention at once, making the film look mediocre and even a little boring.
But Luo Jingchuan knew that it would never be that simple. When he saw the broken screen of the mobile phone and the information gap in the conversation between several people during the chat, combined with the name of the movie, he knew that it must have been foreshadowed.
Sure enough, not long after, perhaps due to the influence of the comet, all communication equipment could not be used, and the power was out in the house. One of them took out a box of blue fluorescent sticks and distributed them to everyone.
Everyone went out to check and found that except for a room across the street with lights on, there was a power outage in other places.
They did not stay outside for long. After checking, they returned to the room, but found that the cup on the dining table was broken. After several people discussed, two young men among the eight went to the lighted room across the street to inquire about the situation.
At this point, the direction of the plot began to become confusing. Many people in the theater just had the leisure to comment on the details of the shooting. This camera movement was not good, and that light had some problems. At this moment, they had no time to think about it. They just wanted to understand the plot.
The two young men who went across the street entered the lighted room, which was exactly the same as the room where they had a party. They took back a box from the room, which actually contained photos of the eight of them.
The others were a little scared and did not believe in evil. This time, a group of people went out collectively and went to the opposite side again. As a result, as soon as they crossed the street, they saw a group of people appearing in the lighted room, and these people were actually themselves.
They did not dare to go in and hurried back. At this time, a group of people on the opposite side came out and looked at them across the street. The only difference was that the other party was holding a red fluorescent stick in his hand.
Seeing this scene, the eight people hurried back to the room. After some discussion, they determined that it was because of the comet that a parallel time and space was created. Both sides were a little frightened at the moment, so they were not sure what the other side would do. They had to try to avoid conflict, but if necessary, they had to take the initiative.
At this time, many people noticed a detail. Among the eight people who were supposed to hold the blue fluorescent sticks, the two young men who had taken the box from the opposite side were quietly hiding the red fluorescent sticks.
"Hiss..." Luo Jingchuan let out a breath. When did these two people change?
Pangbo was also very puzzled. He could understand that a parallel time and space appeared and saw himself, but how could the two people who had just held the blue fluorescent sticks become red fluorescent sticks.
Goof?
He shook his head. It couldn't be a goof. This was a special detail close-up. This was a clue!
More strange things happened afterwards. Many viewers were confused, but many people gradually understood.
After burning his brain for so long, Luo Jingchuan couldn't help but discuss it with the people around him. He leaned slightly, trying not to affect others, and said to Pangbo: "Do you understand it?" Pangbo said uncertainly: "I probably understand it. No matter who they are, as long as they make a choice, a parallel world will be born. Countless variables lead to the birth of countless parallel worlds, so every time they leave and come back, they are not facing people in their own world?" When Pangbo was talking, the characters in the movie were also having the same discussion. Seeing that the conclusions given by the characters in the movie were consistent with his own guesses, Pangbo was secretly relieved and thought to himself: "Fortunately, I understand it. If I didn't understand it, it would be embarrassing!" "Yes, and didn't you notice that the foreshadowing was made at the beginning of the film. In fact, the eight people who got together at the beginning were not people from the same world." Luo Jingchuan reminded excitedly. "Right!" Pangbo suddenly realized that he hadn't noticed it before, and when the movie was about to end, he realized that although this movie seemed to be brain-burning, it was actually not complicated. Many things were explained clearly by the characters in the movie, and at the end of the suspense, the discussion was still about human nature, jealousy, suspicion, fear and selfishness.
When seeing that the heroine killed herself in this world in order to get into one of the worlds, many people at the scene felt chilled.
"What a bold idea." Pangbo exclaimed.
"Awesome." Luo Jingchuan also exclaimed, "I kind of want to watch it again to see if I missed any details. The conception of this movie is really great. If you want to understand the plot, you don't have the energy to care about the texture of the movie. She uses suspense one by one to take away your harshness in other aspects."
"Indeed, at the beginning I paid special attention to some problems with camera movement and light and shadow, but now..." Pangbo shook his head, "I forgot."
The lights in the theater were on, and the two were still discussing as if no one was around. Not only them, but many viewers were also chatting.
"Did you understand?"
"It's explained very clearly later, didn't you understand?"
"I'm a little confused."
"Let me explain it to you. The first eight people... Anyway, if you watch it carefully, you will find that the explanation is quite clear, but it's really confusing in the early and middle stages. After you understand it later, you feel... How should I put it..."
Someone else reminded: "What the hell?"
"Uh, okay, it's the feeling of 'what the hell'." This person also admitted it. Although he is a cultured person, sometimes no description is as direct as these two words.
At this time, Yan Ran also came to Luo Jingchuan and asked politely: "Director Luo, Director Pang, how do you feel about the movie? I hope you two teachers can give me some advice."
Luo Jingchuan and Pang Bo looked at each other. There are flaws and problems. They are also willing to point out problems and give advice to the younger generation, but the biggest problem now is that they just focused on the plot and didn't pay attention at all.
Pangbo thought for a moment and praised: "It's a very good movie, the suspense is great. Although the ending is an open ending full of suspense, the content of the film is very complete. However, there are still some flaws in the lighting and camera movement. By the way, how much money did you invest in this movie?" Yan Ran answered truthfully: "Less than 800,000." Pangbo gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!" Luo Jingchuan, who was standing by, heard Pangbo talking nonsense. He praised it and mentioned the problems, but it didn't help Yan Ran much. As a senior, he couldn't hold his face, so he said: "Here, add the contact information. Some details are hard to say here. I'll send it to you later." Pangbo glanced at him and didn't say anything. He thought to himself: "You are really shameless!" Yan Ran was very surprised and quickly exchanged contact information with Luo Jingchuan and sent them out of the theater. Luo Jingchuan and Pang Bo went back to the film forum. Many acquaintances saw them and asked with a smile, "Where did you go?"
Although Pang Bo was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed when Luo Jingchuan compared him to him, so he took the initiative to recommend, "I went to see a movie, The Night the Comet Came. I suggest you go see it."
