I'm really immortal

I don’t know since when, the word vampire has been connected with words such as elegance, nobility, inheritance, and history. And its Eastern colleague, Mr. Zombie, has almost fixed its image with the movies of senior Lin Zhengying, with a pale face. It looked like it was smeared with lime, with big dark circles under its eyes, blood-red lips and blackened teeth, and a clown-like uniform of a Qing Dynasty official.

Similarly, the area where vampires live, the so-called nobles and the lives of nobles in that land are also beautifully depicted.

For example, when describing a valet who appears to be the daughter of a noble family and places a female scholar in front of a female scholar, this is how it is written:

"A small interlude, although it delayed some time, did not disrupt Lu Sien's unhurried pace. He admired the quiet and independent scenery of Cynthia District, and stopped from time to time to look at the celebrity sculptures standing on both sides of Maplewood Avenue. Read their life stories, pick up a maple leaf, and look at the fine veins of the tree. Through the golden land brought up by the carriage, Lu Si'en saw Magiluda Yalansi Sansvota on the house plate. With his name, he gently clicked the door knocker. Inside the door was a courtyard covered with maple leaves. The maid was not diligent in cleaning this scene. A gust of wind passed by, and the drifting gold leaves fell on the window sill. The white lace door curtain opened, revealing a A snow-white face without any unnecessary repairs."

This is just the novelist's imagination of the Western fantasy world. Although it is not set in Europe before the 18th century, there is no doubt that in the minds of many people, Europe of that era seemed so elegant and sophisticated.

This is not the case with this movie. It has almost nothing to do with elegance, and vampires have nothing to do with nobility.

The movie also begins with a visit to a mansion:

A group of gentlemen wearing wigs, linen cravat, and knee breeches appeared behind the door of Thomas Gresham's mansion. Among the group was an Oriental face that was rare in London at this time.

Thomas Gresham was the Director of the Mint during the era of Queen Elizabeth I. When it comes to the famous "bad money drives out good money", anyone with a little bit of education will know it.

Oliver Cromwell's head was erected on the flagpole in front of Westminster Hall, the coachman's rude shouting, stinking rubbish piled up everywhere, dust flying in the sky, urine and feces thrown randomly on the street, This is what London is like at this moment, and has nothing to do with elegance and nobility.

Among the gentlemen who walked into Gresham's mansion were Robert Boyle, Robert Hooke, Christopher Wren... This group of famous figures gathered together to form the Royal Society for the Advancement of Natural Knowledge in London.

Every one of them is famous, except the Easterner who left no name or record.

The movie is foreshadowing the horror of London at this time. The life expectancy of aristocrats was only thirty years old. Diseases were rampant and medical knowledge was almost non-existent. Any physical discomfort was a sign of death. London at this time seemed very suitable. The vampire is born, a creature that rises from death.

According to the theory of evolution, only abnormal deaths and a huge number of deaths can give birth to creatures like vampires that are more adapted to the current environmental conditions.

The scene turned to Charles II. The royal doctors gave him two cups of blood. Then they gave him an enema, laxatives, and a dose of sneezing powder. Then they gave him another cup of blood. They also tried using pigeon droppings and Pearl powder was mixed with ointment to rub the king's feet, and after shaving his hair, he used a red-hot iron on it, including the soles of his feet... Finally, the king fell into convulsions, and the doctor used "40 drops of human skull extract potion." Four days later, when the court doctor had no choice but to call the Oriental who participated in the Royal Society, Charles II finally died after drinking the plant medicine prepared by the Oriental.

Of course, this Oriental was just a scapegoat. Although he knew many important people, the death of Charles II in his hands became an unpardonable crime. After the Oriental was arrested, he fled all the way and finally hid in a singer's house. in the room.

Following the routines of many Western movies, this plot naturally became more relaxed and ambiguous, but the Orientals were eventually discovered, and the singer was pierced through the chest with a sword by the pursuing soldiers who dared to come, and fell in a pool of blood.

After the Easterner got rid of his pursuers, he returned to the singer's room again. He pierced his chest, took out the blood from the heart, and poured it into the singer's wound... A miracle happened, and the dying singer came back to life.

She became a vampire, and the oriental man wore a cloak and disappeared into the night.

Since then, the showgirl has been looking for the mysterious Easterner. The last scene is that she appears in the East India Company building, with a map of another ancient Eastern country on her desk.

The lights in the cinema come on and the movie ends.

"It turns out that this is how vampires are born." Liu Changan said to An Nuan with sudden realization.

"This is not new... I can only say that the mainland film market is too big. Any film company with ambitions and strength will not give up this market. Properly incorporating oriental elements will naturally attract our local audiences more. It is a commercial Technique...Vampires in the West originated from the East. Sure enough, in the face of interests, capital will not give up at all." An Nuan said nonchalantly.

"What?" Liu Changan grasped the key point.

An Nuan's cheeks turned red, and her image of a reserved and elegant girl who never said dirty words had a big hole in her face.

"I must have heard wrong." Liu Changan reflected on himself.

An Nuan stared at him.

"How could An Nuan say such words to make people look embarrassed, right?" Liu Changan was convinced.

"You provoke me!" An Nuan refused. She jumped up and hugged Liu Changan's neck, trying to push him down on the seat and ride him.

"Do you have the qualities? What's the fuss about?"

The girl who had put the bottle into her mouth by Liu Changan came over from the other end and took the opportunity to retaliate against Liu Changan's original teasing.

Liu Changan took the opportunity to hold An Nuan, who was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, in his arms and sat there, shrinking his feet and letting him out of the aisle.

The two girls snorted and walked over. An Nuan huddled in Liu Changan's arms, looking at Liu Changan with sparkling eyes.

"We and others are gone, there is no one around, we can touch the scene."

"I'm so stupid for you! Movie theaters are actually full of dark-light cameras."

An Nuan hit Liu Changan, took his hand and left.

After walking out of the screening room, Liu Changan looked around.

An Nuan went to take out the trash.

People were coming and going, including a noisy little boy, a little girl staring blankly at the doll machine in front of the claw machine, a young couple buying desserts, and a middle-aged woman snoring in a paid massage chair. There were more people of all races looking down at their phones, waiting for the movie to start.

Even though he and An Nuan felt that it was unlikely that he and An Nuan would be able to watch a movie on a whim, and the release of this movie was not just for today, Liu Changan still borrowed paper and pen from the front desk of the theater and wrote a sentence on it: to be or not to be, that's a question".

Liu Changan posted the paper next to the trash can.

"What are you doing?" An Nuan asked confused.

"Pretend to be cool." After Liu Changan finished speaking, he pulled An Nuan away.

"Disgusting!" An Nuan thought he was responding to the rude words she blurted out, and trotted to keep up with Liu Changan.
