Chapter 410 Returning to Seventeen Years Old (End)
The next scene was many years in the past. On this day, technology tycoon Yu Huanshui attended the completion ceremony of the school's experimental building. There were two buildings, each named after his children.
Yu Huanshui's Daben has been replaced by a Maybach. On the way, the Peking Opera "The Monkey King" is playing on the car screen:
The two monkeys were fighting with each other and were inseparable. They worshiped in front of the Buddha. Unexpectedly, the Buddha saw through it at a glance and used his magical power to contain the six-eared macaque.
The six-eared macaque kowtowed on the ground and argued: "I can also take the Western Scripture. I mean this sincerely..."
Without telling him, the golden bowl was covered and he could not move. Wukong used his golden cudgel to lift the golden bowl...
Zhao Juemin said: "Like "Journey to the West" so much? It has been many years and I am still reading it now."
Yu Huanshui: "Always look at something new."
Zhao Juemin: "The scene where the six-eared macaque was beaten to death is very satisfying."
"Snapped!"
The screen cut to another place.
There is a photo of Yu Huanshui on the signboard of the laboratory building, which introduces his life after receiving financing: his career is successful and the company is about to be listed.
After some polite exchanges with the school leaders, Yu Huanshui stood in the middle of the two experimental buildings, with the scorching sun beating down on his head. Zhao Juemin got him an umbrella and held it up. The school leaders continued to talk to him, but no one thought that the action was wrong, and soon it turned out that
When it started to rain, the group belatedly hid. Yu Huanshui grabbed Zhao Juemin and handed him the umbrella.
Zhao Juemin said: "Why don't you want it?"
Yu Huanshui shook his head: "The rain is fake."
At this time, some contradictory scenes began to appear, as if the world had collapsed. The leaders were talking mechanically about how Yu Huanshui's two children were both good at school and popular in school. At the same time, Yu Huanshui saw in the reflection of the stagnant water.
Completely opposite record: Children have been bullied for a long time.
After leaving school, he met his daughter and was beaten.
The laboratory building had just been built, and I didn't see a single student along the way. What kind of class would his own child be attending?
Bug!
An even more devastating scene appeared at the end. Yu Huanshui left the school and met the hysterical man on the side of the road again. He got out of the car and helped the man, who raised his head.
Exactly like him.
These two appear in the same picture, one half-kneeling and the other standing.
He stretched out his hand to explore, and found that it was empty. Zhao Juemin suddenly reminded him, "You are about to go to Nasdaq to ring the bell. You are about to..."
Yu Huanshui asked, "Is the time given to me so short this time? It's getting shorter and shorter."
Zhao Juemin didn't reply to him.
The hysterical man who was kneeling suddenly disappeared. If you look closely, you can see that the man was buying cigarettes in a convenience store, and the aunt wearing a red armband on the street was walking towards her.
It's like a written program that goes over and over again. Soon the man will be caught by the aunt and fined fifty, then cry hysterically, and then be met by him again.
Yu Huanshui was furious: "How many more years are we going to dance? I know what's going on. I know everything about him now... This world is simply fake."
These words seemed to open some kind of valve, and the biggest special effects shot in the whole film appeared:
When Yu Huanshui was awake, the heavy rain was pouring, and everything around him was like ink washed away, revealing its original background, skyscrapers, neon signs, an endless stream of pedestrians, the copper bull symbolizing the rainbow of the stock market... until Times Square
Building No. 4 appeared in front of him, and the world changed again, from the East Eighth District to the West Five District.
This is the Nasdaq building.
Zhao Juemin seemed to have been poured a memory out of thin air, and suddenly he jumped up excitedly: "You are going to the Nasdaq to ring the bell soon, no, no, we are going to be there soon..."
Financial migrant workers and media reporters appeared from nowhere and crowded around and pushed Yu Huanshui inside.
——Guo Fan looked back again at this time.
Almost all the directors, including the actors, were watching carefully. At this time, they became ordinary viewers, and they all became involved in the plot of the movie itself, and realized that the end of Yu Huanshui had come.
Obviously Yu Huanshui is currently living in a dream, and everything he does is a re-creation of his original memories.
Yu Huanshui remembers the things in college, those things were beautiful, so his time at that time was long, and the further back he went, the faster his days jumped, because they were all the same.
The experience in his dream comes from real memory, and what will happen after Nasdaq, Yu Huanshui does not know in reality, so when the dream world and the external world are close to the same, there will be no next scene.
. If memory is the energy that sustains his dreams, then this energy is really almost exhausted now.
What will Yu Huanshui encounter next?
Life and death depend on this bet.
Actually... it is difficult for ordinary movie fans to realize that Yu Huanshui is in a dream before the middle of the movie, or even notice the problem, because they do not have the details in this novel, and they will not know in advance Director Fang's filming location.
This is all because of the secret...
It wasn't until I encountered this confession that I became convinced: He was really dreaming?
Chen Kaige imagined that he was participating in some kind of director's appointment game. He rated the movie in his own notebook. With the script and production, he thought he could give it seven points. Fang Yi's performance was particularly outstanding, and he carried the entire movie.
One more point, no more.
Why?
Because many things are too straightforward.
Director Chen once went to the UK, and after getting a relatively satisfactory budget and cast, he shot a movie "Fatal Tenderness" that has not been released to the public and has only been released on DVD. After watching the finished film, the producer did not know whether it was
Whether it's a romance movie or a thriller, it's not a movie that can be sold in theaters anyway, so I was shocked and argued with Director Chen for a long time, but this time the foreign gun couldn't beat their Chen family's marksmanship, so the foreigner admitted defeat.
.
Jiang Wen's score was even lower because he felt that the film's values made him uncomfortable.
Why do you think you are a six-eared macaque and inferior to humans? Isn't it bad to occupy the magpie's nest? In the final analysis, you are not evil enough. You should use the opportunity to beat Wukong to death with a stick and sit next to the Buddha:
I can also talk about it, and I can also learn from it!
Well, Guo Fan himself liked it very much. He gave it a score of 8 in his heart. Unfortunately, the scene was not big enough. It was not exciting enough.
——————
Nasdaq.
The bell that Yu Huanshui rang sounded very strange, like a muffled sound through glass, and it didn't stop. But before the audience had time to think about what happened, they saw everyone around Yu Huanshui gradually disappearing.
.
Then came the data on the Nasdaq big screen, and then Yu Huanshui's best friend, or the mission guide NPC Zhao Juemin, without leaving a word. Yu Huanshui ran around the entire Nasdaq hall. In the process, his suit
Starting at his feet, it gradually turned into blue and white hospital gowns, and Nasdaq seemed to have become a closed hall. He stretched out his hand to climb out, and suddenly found that his skin was glowing.
Then his strength was disappearing and his steps became heavier and heavier.
The muffled sound finally became clear. I don't know when it turned into the "ticking" sound of the electrocardiograph. Of course, it can also be understood as the countdown before the bomb explodes, because after a slightly longer idle period,
The Nasdaq hall was flooded by water falling from the sky.
Real shot, no special effects.
Water is difficult to simulate, and it looks fake when rendered. The 4090ti rendering is still fake. As far as the texture shown in the current movie is concerned, it cannot be made by special effects.
A bunch of knowledgeable directors were finally shocked. In the last fifteen minutes of the movie, they jumped up from their chairs and stretched their necks forward, wondering how Fang Yi arranged this section.
Liu Yifei probably thought of Fang Yi's hospitalization, so she scratched his palm, then patted her forehead and made onomatopoeia:
"boom!"
Fang Yi flicked his brain, indicating that he was an indestructible body and had practiced the Iron Head Kung Fu.
Liu Yifei thought he was not paying attention: "Why don't you stop watching? It's the most exciting time."
Fang Yi was helpless: "I almost vomited after watching this part."
If Guo Fan heard this, he would definitely feel the same way.
——The swimming skills developed in the Water Cube finally paid off. Yu Huanshui danced left and right, showing off his figure just right. Along the Nasdaq screen, he nailed it with both hands. There were signs on the ceiling.
There was a faint light, and it looked like he was about to climb up and escape, but when he finally reached the beam of light and got out of it:
The entire Times Square was submerged, and the water level was rising rapidly.
What collapsed was the entire world, not a hall.
I didn’t dare to give a close-up shot in this section because the water was a special effect.
But such a distant scene gave him the feeling of being on the last isolated island - it seemed that Director Fang did it intentionally.
The water level continued to rise until the whole world was submerged. Yu Huanshui was about to drown. He struggled until he had no strength and could only let himself sink.
After sinking to a certain depth, he saw him on a hospital bed in blue and white clothes on the bright Nasdaq screen.
and the surrounding relatives.
Gan Hong desperately shouted his name: "Yu Huan Shui"
"Yu——Huan——Shui"
Tears rained heavily.
Jin Yong once criticized Liu Yifei, to the effect that this girl cannot make ugly expressions. By extension, even when she cries, she still sheds tears like a fairy. This expression has a narrow employment scope and is not very popular among fans.
Outsiders are welcome.
But Liu Yifei was not like that at this moment. She cried until her eyes were swollen, her expression was so sincere and her expression was distorted. Watching it on the giant screen in the cinema, there was even snot hanging on her lips.
Perhaps it was the most sincere crying scene in my life.
When Feng Dapao was filming "The Great Earthquake", there was a scene where Xu Fan acted in front of him with a crying expression. Xu Fan cried too much and knelt in front of him. After the scene, Feng Dapao couldn't help but hug Xu Fan.
, both of them were crying there.
When people have true feelings, it is of course a hundred times stronger than "acting".
So even though the scene where Fang Yi was underwater was not in the same time and space as the scene where he was lying on the hospital bed, he was probably infected. He was almost suffocating while still trying his best to see clearly.
In this last scene in his life, even though it was separated by different time and space, he opened his mouth slightly, showing a gentle expression, but could not say a word.
Many viewers choked up, thinking that Yu Huanshui would definitely die.
——————
Films about mid-life crisis, or in other words, how middle-aged people define their own existence and find themselves... This kind of film is actually not unmade in China, and Fang Yi is not the first in the world.
It's not a man's midlife crisis, it's a woman's.
"Aunt's Postmodern Life" is a black comedy about an intellectual woman who retired.
The actress was Siqin Gaowa - there was no sheep placenta supplement at that time, and the actor was Fa Ge - whose popularity had not yet faded at that time, and "Red Cliff" and "Pirates of the Caribbean III" were both competing for her.
Director Xu Anhua, Academy Award for Best Director; soundtrack is Joe Hisaishi.
Top quality.
Jin Yong said "This is the only good movie since the new century", and Fa Ge said "the most satisfying movie in my life".
It was released in mainland China in 2006 and took away a total of 5.54 million yuan at the box office.
The filming was so tragic, my aunt ended up with nothing. In fact, with the current configuration, even if you shoot "Twenty Generations of Ancestors" or "Chasing Dreams", it will not only have a box office of 5 million, but Xu Anhua is
The filming is so tragic and doesn't give any hope, it makes you not want to remember it for even a second.
The frame structure of the 1998 Hollywood film "The Truman Show" is similar to "17 Again". As an absolute literary film, it received 120 million US dollars that year. It must be your middle school film.
Or the British and American chicken soup movie recommended by the university teacher. If the final ending of "The Truman Show" was not that Truman broke out of the cage and said in front of all the live broadcast viewers around the world:
"If I never see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night."
It's just that The Truman Show went through all the hard work and just died. "The Truman Show" will become an ordinary movie. When the time is right, the emotions are in place, and the protagonist should be given a little care. It really won't
Affects the artistic achievements of films.
Therefore, Fang Yi does not plan to give "Seventeen Again" such an ending.
Yu Huanshui's love story is here, and it's a common love story in commercial films.
——Yu Huanshui and Gan Hong have watched movies many times. Of course, the one they remember most is the first time, because they were slapped, whether it was in this life or the previous life, whether it was "Titanic" or "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", the screen
In the dark and deep sea, there was a submarine sailing here... It became the background board in the depths of his memory, but when he was about to go through life, he remembered that this kind of memory could never be forgotten.
In fact, the main reason is that I can't forget Gan Hong's cute but cruel slap, and I can't forget the movie scene that was played at the time - after all, he was so shameless that after receiving the slap, he really could only watch it honestly.
Movie.
Therefore, if this is a fantasy and the world is collapsing, then the owner of the fantasy at least has the opportunity to use his deepest memory. As a weapon, it must be the last to die and his last hope.
So in the memory of the submarine on the screen, it finally crossed many years and sailed to Yu Huanshui's side now, and lifted him to the surface of the sea.
Yu Huanshui heard Gan Hong calling him again.
"Yu——Huan——Shui"
He was able to open his eyes in reality. In front of him was a very familiar ward. Gan Hong looked at him next to him:
"Are you awake?"
"..."
"You don't have to speak in a hurry. The doctor said that your will to survive is still relatively strong. Of course, benign tumors are not a big deal and can always be overcome... How could this hospital diagnose the wrong disease? I'm calling the children now.
, let them come over."
While talking on the phone, Yu Huanshui observed the surrounding furnishings, swallowed saliva to moisten his throat, and prepared to speak.
The inside of the ward was the same as what he had seen in the school infirmary when he was seventeen years old. It was just that the window sill seemed to be shorter and no one needed to set up a bench to reach it.
The audience was thinking, is Yu Huanshui alive?
Yu Huanshui said intermittently: "I..."
"What happened last night? I found out last night that your diagnosis was wrong. I threw myself on you and cried loudly. It's nothing now. Didn't you wake up?"
Gan Hong leaned closer to listen to what he was saying:
"You said you just lived through twenty or thirty years? You must have been sleeping in the lake."
"——What else do you want to say?"
"I still want to say..."
After hearing this, Gan Hong suddenly laughed and patted his face gently, "We are an old couple now, so don't talk about these things."
The camera zooms out, subtitles appear, children, colleagues... all the characters that have appeared in the movie visit him on his hospital bed one after another, and the movie ends here.
