Chapter 1801 The ending of the new version of the ship
In fact, when Li Yi first thought about it, he was thinking of another ending.
In fact, it was filmed but was not released immediately.
This is also his first attempt. The multiple ending mode is really suitable for a major online movie and "Sniper Phone Booth".
Although the box office of "Phone Booth" exceeded 200 million one week after its release, it can be said to be the highest box office of a major online movie in history, and it is also a ceiling-level box office that newcomers cannot imagine.
But similarly, the subsequent weak box office performance disappointed people who originally had more expectations for this movie and online movies.
It can be said that this time "Sniper Phone Booth" has the strongest director, Li Yi, and the most powerful publicity resources, with four major platforms working together to promote it.
But the result was that it only raised the box office of this movie to 200 million, and the subsequent box office began to plummet.
Li Yi was not surprised at all by this. After all, "Sniper Phone Booth" itself is not a big production, and this movie can only be said to be a coincidence. The connotation and quality of the movie itself are not top-notch.
Such achievements are already the result of various efforts.
The second ending is also Li Yi's reverie and an attempt and inspiration for similar online movies.
Why is this method suitable for major online movies? Because if it is a theatrical movie, changing the ending or something requires re-editing the movie and redistributing copies, even if they are digital copies, but it is still quite troublesome.
matter.
But online movies are different. In online theaters, you only need to update the film source.
One week after "Sniper Phone Booth" was released, on the eighth day, the daily box office had dropped below 10 million.
At this time, the ending of the new version of "Sniper Phone Booth" is released.
In fact, there is no difference in the previous scenes, including the appearance of a mysterious man behind the scenes, and the actor Lin Junrong being unable to see clearly due to the effects of the drug.
The biggest difference between this ending and the previous one is...
The mysterious man swaggered away carrying the rectangular box. The next moment, he stopped!
The cell phone in his pocket rang, but he ignored it and looked down at the red aiming point on his chest.
He let go of his hand and the box fell to the ground.
He reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone, which showed an unknown call.
Just when he was about to answer the phone, the ringing stopped.
The next moment he raised his head: "Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the mysterious man fell to the ground!
The movie ends.
The ending of this new version left many viewers who came back to watch the movie a little confused.
"Holy shit, shit, infinite matryoshka dolls?"
"This ending is a bit interesting! So, the unjust trial will eventually be judged?"
"No, what does this mean? I can't understand it!"
"So, when you stare at others, you are also stared at?"
"This ending is more interesting, isn't it?"
For a moment, the barrage exploded.
In fact, this ending may not be very clever, but with the previous ending, it is very interesting to have another ending like this.
"What the hell, one ending was screwed up, so is there a third version?"
"What does this version want to express? It feels like "The Truman Show"!"
"Does it feel like there is a deeper meaning? You think you are God, you think you are smart, but you don't know that in this world, every mountain is as high as the next?"
"When you judge others, others can also judge you?"
However, Li Yiwan's extravagant work successfully gave "Sniper Phone Booth" a new lease of life, and at least its popularity and box office increased significantly for a short period of time.
Although some people cursed:
“The damn ending tricked me into buying it again!”
"Director Dog, you are a real dog!"
"Director Dog, you have fallen!"
"Although, this method of swindling money doesn't look like the work of a dog director!"
"Holy shit, shit, shit, what the hell is this? Movie DLC?"
"It's not DLC, it's the second version, and then there's going to be a third version? One ending and another movie ticket?"
Although many fans criticized the ending of the second version for being a rip-off.
But this strategy has made the directors and investors of many major online movies shine in their eyes.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it really looks like DLC for a game.
However, as the first person to try it, the effect is obviously very good. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the type and content of the movie itself.
If you switch to other types of movies, you may not have such an effect.
However, this new ending also has a lot of controversy, some people like it, and some people don't like it.
"In a seemingly isolated phone booth and a bustling street, actors were found, the script was written, and the crime was staged. In this script, Stu played a smooth-talking public relations man. The crime he was convicted of was selfishness.
Don't care about others and have extramarital affairs. Unless you repent, you will die.
Like many movie reviews on Douban, I don't like the ending of the film, but it's not just the setting where the criminal appears in the light of the judge at the end. In fact, it may be due to the influence of the film in which many criminals were found out. Originally,
After seeing Stu's little conspiracy and tricks at the beginning, and after seeing the appearance of the seemingly witty police officer, I still look forward to being able to defeat the general in the end.
But obviously the police officers here seemed a bit stupid, and the frightened Stu's cleverness was completely outmatched by the criminals. All the light of wisdom was focused on the criminals who only heard his voice but could not see him. All these made me seem
Somewhat disappointing. But, as I will say later, these just give our criminals the highest sense of honor.
No, no, I am not looking forward to a happy ending where justice will definitely defeat evil. In fact, although the first ending avoids the logic of forced wisdom, it is really not that good. What’s more, the messenger of justice here has already given
The criminal himself. But when I saw many moments when the calm judge’s voice was excited and he revealed some information about himself, I looked forward to the emergence of another protagonist, the emergence of a protagonist who has a deep understanding of criminal psychology, to complete a story.
A double act, not an outright puppet show.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, I am just looking forward to it. The setting of the film itself is not to reflect these, to reflect the charm of solving crimes and the wisdom of law enforcement. These are not the focus at all.
The focus is on a crime in the name of redemption, and the focus is on a criminal who is like a judge.
This is an outstanding criminal. The show is set in a busy street. The man who killed the brothel seems to have been well-written. Because someone died, the media came, and because the media intervened, Stu's death
The crime was made known to the world because of the state of affairs
Only by expanding can the lover be found. Because of this, there are more weights, allowing Stu to surrender quickly. Confession is the only way for the guilty, and death is the final outcome for those who do not repent. This is what I did for Stu early in the morning.
A script written for this guilty man.
However, after repentance, does it mean salvation?
Obviously, when faced with death and the death threat of his loved ones, Stu did feel full of regret. However, when the danger was eliminated and he learned that the perpetrator had committed suicide in fear of crime, Stu was lying in the ambulance.
His expression is filled with excitement for the rest of his life. Maybe he is still secretly thinking in his heart: Even though you have put me in this situation, you still have to die before me.
However, in a daze, the BOSS appeared and spoke a judgment declaration that Stu would never dare to forget in his life. Now, Stu truly understood how terrifying the opponent was, and was therefore always trembling with fear.
Live carefully and repent, not necessarily. If you are forced to change by fate, you will regret it because you are afraid of the consequences.
Therefore, I think it is clear that this is a good drama, and the well-choreographed criminal has achieved his goal, but redemption is impossible.
"Except for suicide, repentance cannot get rid of pain, and suicide itself is repentance." Therefore, Omnipotent Wisdom, Great Judge, if you really want to become God and save this world that you cannot understand, you can only choose to destroy it.
Or, destroy yourself.
However, our skilled criminal is obviously an experienced expert who is good at inducing the other party and counter-inducing him. He is very proud. He may indeed have returned from a bloody battlefield. When he was young, his family may have been ruined due to the greed of stock managers.
Maybe the relatives around him were hurt because of the affair. The incompetence of the police and people's indifference made him decide
Become a so-called "city hero" and transform into a hero in comics to save other people's lives. Surveillance and guidance are his hobbies, but killing is second. Surveillance allows him to see the city and the world needs his existence.
, guidance allows him to enjoy it and feel the absolute leadership and dominance that he has never experienced in life.
It’s just that the ending of the new version is really surprising.
Not to mention whether this strategy is suspected of cheating money, but I have to say that this ending is really not a simple so-called matryoshka model!
We might as well think carefully about why the person who fired the last shot knew the mysterious person’s mobile phone number?
Why did you choose to snipe him at this time, and then kill him after reminding him on the phone?
Therefore, this is the real judge.
Because before this, the people the mysterious man tried, such as the pervert or the financial fraudster, did not have any problems.
When their sins cannot be judged by the law, the mysterious man can be regarded as doing justice for God.
So, can we think that, in fact, what the mysterious man did was always being watched by another pair of eyes?
When the mysterious man was judging Stu, he was also on the other side, admiring and observing.
But when the mysterious man acted as a judge and killed the truly innocent delivery boy, he also committed a crime that was enough to sentence him to death, so he was tried!
There are too many hidden contents in this shot.
And perhaps Director Gou also wants to tell us a truth, that is, the villain dies because he talks too much!
Since there is a trial, people who have committed crimes that are clearly worthy of the death penalty should be tried, and they should not be given a chance to repent.
As for Stu's trial, it was true that he did not die, so it was fair, but what about the groom and the delivery boy?
The mysterious man said that Stu didn't respect them, but in fact, when you killed the pimp and delivery boy, you also had no intention of respecting them. You separated them from Stu.
Since you want to be a judge, you must have your own scale, otherwise, it will not be a trial but an indiscriminate killing!
But a perverted desire for control!
It is an extremely selfish crime!
There is no difference between him and other murderers!
Therefore, he died and was judged silently!
By the way, the controversy surrounding the movie is that many people are confused about why the police did not discover that the deceased was killed by a sniper bullet rather than a pistol bullet. This is indeed a BUG.
But for a movie like this, we must also understand that what the screenwriter shows here is only a possibility.
And there are many possibilities for the same thing.
Maybe the police just didn't notice it right away?
Maybe it was just a moment of negligence?
The movie did not show this. It can only be said that in such an emergency, the police did not immediately check whether the bullet the pimp was shot by was a sniper rifle or a pistol. You can say that it is unreasonable under normal circumstances, but it is indeed the case.
It can happen!
Another one, is it possible to commit suicide by cutting one's throat?
We cannot deny that this possibility does exist, even if it is not consistent with common sense, but this possibility does exist!
As for director Li Yi's strategy of double endings, I personally think there is no need to worry too much. If a movie is not expensive and wants to be a hit, it must have content. "Sniper Phone Booth" is such a movie. It is completely based on dialogue.
Horrifying, you won't stop watching it
We are constantly thinking about what will happen next and what the ending will be like, but what we can think of has been thought about by many people, so Director Li Yi gives us some unexpected surprises. Often excellent movies have endings like this.
It's not the movie that tells you the ending, you have to find the ending yourself.
Do you think the ending of this second version is the real ending?
No, in fact, the ending of this second version happens to be Director Li Yi reminding us and telling us that when the movie has a second ending, it means that there are countless endings to the movie, no matter what your imagination
, because the ending is no longer unique!
As for who the anonymous sniper in the movie is, there seems to be no answer, and I can't guess. Maybe the movie is just to let people know that no matter what a person does, whether he does it right or wrong, someone will always know and someone will pay attention.
Once you go too far, trouble will always find you.
In any case, this is a very thought-provoking movie, and the things reflected in it are rich and colorful depending on the person.
Finally, we might as well imagine how the hero's life will change after the story of "Sniper Phone Booth" ends?
In fact, it's ironic. Because of this incident, he became famous throughout Hong Kong, so he went from a publicist wandering around in the Vanity Fair to a "big star"!
For him, this is actually not a bad thing!
In fact, perhaps his confession will make people think that there are people in Vanity Fair who are so "clean"!
Yes "Clean!"
Therefore, his life will not be worse than before, but this may not be a booster for his career!
