After being slag, I became popular in the entertainment industry

On the big screen, the story of "City Without Owner" spread out.

The male lead, who had bread in his mouth and a cup of coffee in his hand, suddenly woke up.

The screen jumps to the perspective of the male protagonist and suddenly becomes a warm home.

I saw an extremely beautiful woman looking at him worriedly. For some reason, the audience read a hint of coldness from that beautiful face.

"My dear, are you okay...why are you always wandering lately?"

The expression of the man on the screen changed.

Obviously, just a second ago, he was rushing home on the street or woke up again in the foggy morning, but suddenly it was sunset and evening.

He shuddered violently.

The male protagonist York realized that a large part of his memory was missing.

At the beginning, many viewers were still immersed in the sudden change of the high-altitude curtain just now, and then they were immersed in the suspenseful plot of this movie.

At the same time, a question quietly unfolded in their minds.

—— Doesn't this movie have the same background as the game of the same name that Chen Zhiwen put on the promotional website before?Why didn't that thrilling bug show up at all?

——If it weren't for the flowing lines of the movie's scene design, most people would think that this is just a pure suspense movie.

And some experienced media people squinted their eyes. When they saw the dinner plate held by the hostess on the screen, with vegetarian food like mulberry leaves that insects like to eat, they crossed their minds. A trace of clarity.

Looking at the male protagonist played by Hubert at the top of the screen, he seemed unaware, and smiled and picked up his little daughter to go to kindergarten. He touched his chin lightly and raised his eyebrows.

"It turned out to be like this." He muttered to himself.

Combined with the opening of the movie, the male protagonist's low and desperate voice.

"This is a city without people."

An idea slowly took shape in his mind.

—Reality and falsehood...despair and lies...

These contents spliced ​​together, coupled with this extremely stunning 3D special effects, may really detonate a frenzy.

But the specifics still have to read on.

To be honest, when this movie was screened, people in the media like Daniel were still very worried that a young director like Chen Zhiwen couldn't use 3D technology flexibly at all.

He does have a good storytelling ability, which is fully reflected in "Luo Shui" and "Life Like a Summer Flower", but it does not mean that he can flexibly use this technology that most companies in emerging industries do not have mastered today.

And after seeing the panoramic image of Licheng that almost shocked everyone, Daniel suppressed this worry in his heart.

He smiled, touched his nose, and said to himself——

——As expected, it was Chen Zhiwen.

——It would be a big loss to underestimate this young man.

…………

The screen continued to unfold in depth.

Those seemingly inconspicuous details are invisible in the background version of the whole movie, which only produces a creepy feeling for those who are interested.

In the picture, the male protagonist York sent his youngest daughter to the kindergarten. The youngest daughter smiled sweetly at the male protagonist York and waved goodbye. The teacher who came out to greet the youngest daughter finally made the male protagonist York feel something was wrong. .

——This teacher... looks exactly like the English teacher he met when he was studying in high school.

——It can be said that a template has been used.

And in the shot of this scene, the originally sweet little daughter stood at the window in a sinister manner.

His pupils seemed to be opaque black holes, and with a completely different voice and tone, he said coldly——

"Did he see... or didn't he see?"

"call--"

Seeing this scene, the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

This is completely different from the R-rated movie they had been previewed before, which contained elements of crazy blood, violence, and force, and it was completely different from the picture they expected...

They originally thought that this was a movie about fighting and killing alien insect creatures without thinking about it. Unexpectedly, the suspense in the first half is very strong.

A look of interest flashed in the eyes of the editor-in-chief of (This is the movie).

His mind was spinning quickly, thinking of the meals eaten by the woman who was the wife of the man at the beginning, the face of his daughter's kindergarten teacher who looked exactly like a high school teacher, and seeing the cold look on the little girl's pass, he was almost certain Well, the people in this world are not living people, most of them are insects hiding around them with a layer of human skin.

"This idea sounds cool, and it's something that no other sci-fi film has ever done..."

Another editor-in-chief touched his chin and pushed the 3D lens on the bridge of his nose, but felt strange in his heart.

But logically, it doesn't seem to make sense.

Why do these alien creatures, whose IQ seems to be no less than that of human beings, choose to hide by people's side in such a weird way?

——This question depends on whether Chen from Huaguo can justify himself, let's answer it carefully.

…………

The shady atmosphere became more and more intense.

The plot at the top of the screen has unfolded to the point where the male protagonist York is in the office and receives a strange letter.

"Congratulations, sir, you are a lucky but unlucky person, your level of awakening has reached 40%...Are you willing to touch the truth, or continue to bury yourself in the falsehood?"

And when he saw that the male protagonist York did not have time to receive the envelope, he was stopped by the boss of the office from the action he chose. In the dark night, the similar phone call was also interrupted by the youngest daughter, which made most of the audience I also realized that there seemed to be no one around the hero who was normal.

After seeing the male protagonist York's "several days of insanity", his wife immediately made a decision and sent him to the "mental hospital" with tenderness and worry... The audience's heart was suddenly raised to the position of the throat.

The first half of the picture is too depressing, and the immersive 3D special effects make them almost completely brought into the perspective of the male protagonist York.

I felt a sense of helplessness of being manipulated by others.

There were screams and screams from the ward next door.

"You need treatment... Don't worry, soon, after smoothing out the degree of awakening in this part, you will be able to become an ordinary person again."

The doctor with a mask covering his face said with a smile.

Panicked, fast-paced and oppressive music deepens this sense of depression.

Seeing the male protagonist York struggling, escaped the last part of the drug injection, and returned to the original house, the scene suddenly pushed to the climax of the atmosphere.

"Honey... you're back..."

The field of view suddenly changed strangely.

The body of the woman who was originally wearing a beautiful skin continued to swell and swell, and the hideous image only now fit the ugly insect face in the popular game of the same name.

The original white skin was torn layer by layer, revealing a body full of blood and black crusts. The 16 compound eyes were extremely eye-catching, and the black eyeballs kept spinning around.

"Honey...it's great to have you back safe and sound."

What makes people feel creepy is that the sweet and gentle voice that still belongs to his wife comes out of the mouth of the ugly and hideous insect in the picture.

"vomit----"

This is no ordinary special effect.

A magnified body of a terrifying insect appears in people's eyeballs with 3D dynamics, which will only make people get goosebumps all of a sudden. I can't help but wonder if such a terrifying and disgusting insect really exists in real life. giant creature.

There were even those who were very timid and vomited out on the spot, their faces white with fright.

——It was too realistic.

Most film critics have watched various types of movies before, and they are prepared for this scene, and the sensory impact they receive is much better than that of the audience. What they think at this moment is that they really verified their previous guesses. .

However, as long as the insects here are disguised as human beings, they can easily blend into human life. Is it also a metaphor for those people in modern life who are like beasts in human skin and have no shame? ?

The plot is still unfolding, and the male protagonist York's original plan of succumbing to snakes was disrupted. As the other party wanted to kiss his cheek as usual, the hideous mouthpiece seemed to bite off his entire head. Naturally, he ran away in a panic.

With a sound like a siren, a burst of turmoil broke out in the entire seemingly peaceful small city.

Almost everyone, the owner of the flower shop, the cleaner who always greeted York kindly, the repairman who repaired the water pipe... almost all turned into various ferocious insects, and started chasing after him. whereabouts of killing.

At this moment, the audience finally realized why this film can be rated as an R-rated film.

Countless bloody and violent scenes unfolded, and anything you can think of can be turned into a murder weapon, constantly challenging people's adrenal hormones.

It's hard to imagine that this is the director who was as youthful and beautiful as "Life is Like a Summer Flower", and who bloomed with stubbornness on the other side of the 18-year-old...

It is simply killing madness!

"God……"

One of Chen Zhiwen's loyal fans couldn't help but took a deep breath, his heart capacity was obviously not that good, his face looked terribly pale, but he looked towards Chen Zhiwen's seat with a fanatical expression.

"How many faces do you have, Chen? Why do movies with such different themes work so well?"

Individual existence and power are always insignificant.

On the tall building, the male protagonist York weakly clenched the ax in his hand. There were clear drops of blood on his cheeks. The clothes on his body were almost torn during the fierce fight just now, and he looked so embarrassed. Unbearable.

As if he had become the enemy of all, countless insects surrounded him, densely filling his surroundings, leaving only a small area in the middle.

This panoramic shot looks extraordinarily intrusive.

Immediately afterwards, to the audience's disbelief, a slightly smaller insect came out.

Slowly, it turned into the face of the hero's youngest daughter.

The girl with a sweet smile explained a story to the audience present, a story that sounded extremely cruel.

The arrival of alien creatures, after successfully destroying most of the human beings on this planet, took over the technological civilization belonging to human beings, and they became interested in the "reality variety show" of human beings.

Human beings were domesticated and raised like pig farms, and placed in petri dishes one by one, and these insects successfully became players in the role.

Human memory has also become a replaceable template.

It is no longer a vivid and real experience, but just the data selected by these insects.

And the memory gap experienced by the male protagonist York before is just a side effect of "replacing memory".

It's just that most people don't realize it.

why?

Compared to lingering back to the life of being chased and killed by alien creatures and tearing the body apart, it seems that such an image of self-deception... is also very good.

To be enslaved and toyed with, so what?

Which dignity is more important than life?

Especially when the sweet little girl disguised by insects stretched out her white and tender little hands, her crisp voice seemed to be infinitely bewitching.

"Dad, take this pill... Is the truth of memory so important? Here, you have a happy life, and you still have me."

"Forget everything you discovered, and continue to return to your original life."

Seeing this scene on the big screen, the audience felt their hearts being pulled violently by something.

At this moment, they even had a complicated idea of ​​being bewitched.

What this monster said is indeed true, even if your body is no longer your own... Even if you can't even control your memory, at least you are alive, alive... Isn't it good?

The media people sitting in their seats recalled this scene, and saw that the audience, whose face turned pale from the blood, violence, and violence, began to sink deeply into the thinking of the plot, and couldn't help thinking about it. He sighed secretly.

- It's too real.

As an R-rated movie, the first batch of newcomers who came to watch this movie were no longer the teenagers flocking to Chen Zhiwen. Some of them were even married and had families, and some of them also had beloved girlfriends or boyfriends.

Seeing this scene, many people are easily drawn into it, and they also ask themselves——

——If it were them, a happy and harmonious life, a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter, a decent IT job, and hiding like a mouse in a stinky gutter on the earth that has already been riddled with holes... Such a big contrast Just because of dignity... just because of dignity, can you make a choice easily?Choose to give up that superficially beautiful life?

And finally, when the male protagonist York was about to reach out and touch the pill on the little girl's palm, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He chose to refuse.

As his body was instantly torn apart by countless ferocious insects, blood mist sprayed out from his mouth.

"for freedom."

A low voice sounded like seagulls flying and circling on the sea.

"For dignity."

His head was also bitten and shattered by the insect in front of him pretending to be his little daughter.

Everyone's hearts kept churning, until the place where the male protagonist York originally stood at the top of the screen was filled with countless insects, crowding the entire big screen in black, and the end of the story came to an abrupt end.

At this moment, after seeing the ending, most people only feel extremely heavy in their hearts.

—for liberty...for dignity...

The last words spoken by the male protagonist York seem to be constantly questioning their souls.

They couldn't help but think of Chen Zhiwen's last movie "Life is like a Summer Flower".

Although "Borderless City" is a sci-fi movie, in terms of special effects and bloody violence elements, it seems to be completely different from the campus fresh air of "Life Like Summer Flowers", but their cores are somewhat similar.

Even "Luo Shui" is the same.

——Redemption, freedom, dignity, anti-evil...

The incomparably vivid struggling image of this individual character was deeply engraved in their minds, making them completely unforgettable.

Daniel, the editor-in-chief of Time Review, suddenly thought of something, and frowned strangely.

"Wait... But, what about the original email sent to the hero York?"

He was still thinking about this matter in his mind, but his body stood up with the crazy applauding audience, cheering for Chen Zhiwen's movie together.

Until that handsome young man walked to the front of the stage, a deep and magnetic voice sounded slowly.

"Don't worry, there are easter eggs."

—Easter eggs?

Most of the audience haven't reacted yet, they already feel that this movie is perfect enough, crazy enough, and amazing enough, but they are obviously convinced of this young director in their hearts.

After sitting down half-believingly, after a series of information from the director, leading actor, and production team were broadcasted, another control room appeared on the screen.

What appeared in the control room was not some insect creature, but another kind of extremely disgusting looking liquid human-like existence.

Above the screen in the control room, there is the insect creature that erodes the male protagonist York, squirming, planning to pick another human being as the leading role of the reality show.

"It's really a wonderful performance. Finally, there is a human being who chooses to resist."

Liquid Man applauded.

Immediately afterwards, the easter egg ended, and the screen suddenly darkened.

At the same time, people in various movie theaters in Licheng watched this scene in a daze.

Some people in the media predicted the purpose of the insects, and predicted the hero's tragic and splendid death ending, but few people guessed this scene...

"A game in a game?"

The media people in Licheng made such a murmur in disbelief.

——A game in a game...it turned out to be a game in a game!

——Alien insects who originally thought that they were in control of human beings, as if they were carelessly playing with human beings like ants. Do they know that they are also interesting games and prey in the eyes of others?

This scene sounds extremely ridiculous and extremely desperate.

After the movie screen went black, it wasn't until this moment that the whole movie came to an end, and most people opened their lips in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

It took a while for Augustine Kevin to come back to his senses, looked at Chen Zhiwen, and said in disbelief, "Wow, dear Chen, how did you come up with this script!"

"It's so perfect, so outstanding!"

Before it was time to interact with the audience, Chen Zhiwen chuckled and raised his eyebrows, a narrow smile flashed in those beautiful peach eyes.

"Is it more perfect than "Luoshui"?"

"Luo Shui" is Chen Zhiwen's first film, and it is also the work in which Augustine Kevin and Chen Zhiwen were connected, so it is of great significance to Augustine.

After hearing Chen Zhiwen's question, a tangled look flashed across Augustine Kevin's heroic face, and he spread his hands.

The mouth is as sweet as honey.

""Luo Shui" is the best in the world, "Life Like Summer Flowers" is the most provocative youth film, and "City Without Owner" can definitely be said to be an epoch-making science fiction film!"

Augustine Kevin blinked and said, "Dear Chen, in my heart, none of the movies you made is not excellent, and none is not perfect."

During the gap between his speeches, Augustine Kevin approached Chen Zhiwen.

Although it was not intentional, the too close distance caused a faint breath to spray on Chen Zhiwen's face.

And Augustine Kevin, who was a well-known prostitute in Licheng before, was born with a gentle and affectionate appearance.

When I say this, it's like saying a sincere confession.

After hearing this, Chen Zhiwen just smiled faintly.

What he needs is not only the affirmation of Augustine Kevin, but also the affirmation of all the media people who are full of doubts about whether he can make a decent science fiction film, as well as the stubborn members of the Oscar review committee.

But before Chen Zhiwen could say anything, a burst of incomparably intense applause erupted from the crowd present.

The applause seemed to overturn the entire movie theater.

"Chen, this is really an extremely exciting movie... I finally understand what a science fiction movie with connotation and depth is! It is indeed completely different from those heroic popcorn movies!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ah Yes! I want to swipe it twice! Swipe it three times! Swipe it four times!”

"Brother... the premise is that you have a way to buy so many movie tickets, right? Don't talk so full, haven't you never seen the long queue at the ticket office of "Borderless City"?"

Hearing these heated discussions, Chen Zhiwen frowned.

At this moment, all the teams of King Power Films, whether it was starring Hubert or the little curly-haired Michelle who was in charge of the special effects team, breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing such feedback, they were finally able to confirm that they had given a perfect score for the future of King Power Pictures.

——Be able to watch a tall building rise and build.
