After "Replace the Battery" was released, its popularity immediately exploded.
Even though it was midnight, the audience's enthusiasm could not be stopped.
In just one hour, the combined views on the two video websites exceeded 5 million.
And there are countless messages underneath.
"Finally, I knew that the dog director had tricked me again. The robot had a sore nose when it stuffed batteries into the old lady's pocket!"
"After one of them failed to respond, he held all his batteries over - "I'll give you all mine, get up quickly!" I burst into tears instantly!"
"I miss my mother. Please see more of your relatives in the future and accompany them when you are studying. Because when you finish studying for 20 years and enter the society, you will find that there is almost no time to accompany them. Spend more time with them.
!”
"Director Dog, I'm here to torture you again!"
"I just cried to death!"
"I couldn't help but call my mother in the middle of the night. She was crying and thought something had happened to me! No, why would a short film like this be released in the middle of the night? Isn't this an obvious attempt to cause trouble?"
"Go home and see your parents tomorrow!"
"It's very similar to the loyal dog Hachiko. He is your past and you are everything to him!"
"I hope the robot has feelings, because then at least grandma will not be so lonely in the last time, but I also hope not, because in that case, he will not understand what birth, old age, illness, and death are, and what sadness is!"
"The old lady started crying when she was putting out the batteries. I don't know what she was expecting. She was so sad when the robot put out the batteries for her."
"This little robot is actually a symbol. It is our most innocent and pure emotion towards our parents and grandparents at first. This is what we can see and feel here, but cannot do it, and we will not understand it deeply.
Already.
This is our memory and care!”
"Damn it, it's you as expected, Director Dog. The smell is familiar and the formula is familiar. But I know clearly that he just wants to trick you into crying, but I still can't help but watch it!"
For a time, the messages on the Internet were full of tears!
And many film critics couldn't help but give various in-depth interpretations of this short film.
Wen Anjun wrote: "As expected of the work of director Li Yi, the short film is called "Replace the Battery". The battery is a very important clue, from the old woman changing the robot when the battery is dead, to the robot changing the battery for the grandma, to the robot with the dead battery.
After shutting down, I felt that the battery was losing its function as I went to the back. In the end, the robot met my grandma in heaven even if there was no power. Moreover, he could actually change it by himself, but he didn't, which shows that the real energy source is love!
The same is on the 5th. A month apart, grandma has been in poor health, but she has persisted because she has not given the ticket to the robot and she has not taken him to the circus. Therefore, love is the real energy.
ah.
It was love that made grandma persist until the day when the circus started!"
Du Xianghai's perspective is different. He is more interested in interpreting the details of the short film.
“I don’t know if you have seen it, but the first two photos, one is a family photo, and the other is a photo of mother and son. In fact, this also means that from now on, grandma’s wife is gone, and she only has her son.
.
When she saw her son's message on the box, she was very disappointed because she didn't know how long she had been looking forward to it, or maybe because she didn't know how long she could hold on and whether she could see her son again.
Grandma came back from going shopping and brought engine oil to the robot. The robot was very happy. Isn't it very like when we were children? Mom or grandma came back from going out and brought us some snacks, which always made us happy.
Grandma changes the battery of the robot, and the robot changes the battery of the grandma. In fact, it is very similar to when we were children. When we were injured and cut our fingers, our mother or grandma would say that the pain would go away after blowing on it. Did we also experience it when they were sick at that time?
When I was doing it, I blew on it and said, "It won't hurt anymore after you blow it?"
At the end of the short film, the robot meets grandma again. Doesn’t it feel familiar? It’s like the scene in the story of the loyal dog Hachiko, where Hachi and the professor reunite at the end!
Cry first as a sign of respect!”
"Replace the Batteries" does not have a single line of dialogue in the entire film, but it still allows people to understand what the short film wants to express without any obstacles.
Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video are actually used to it.
Why are they willing to provide the highest level of promotional resources every time they encounter Li Yi's short film? It's because, as long as it is Li Yi's short film, it basically means that a large amount of traffic is coming.
This time is no exception.
At the same time, Li Yi was a little depressed.
Because he and Director Mu had just finished the first half and were preparing for the second half. However, Director Mu watched Li Yi's short film "Replace the Battery" with great interest, and then the sentimental girl burst into tears.
Similar.
"I, I miss my grandma!" Mu Qing cried.
Once a person's emotions rise, no amount of persuasion from Li Yi will be of any use.
He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Actually, there is another version of this story. Do you want to hear it?"
Mu Qing was indeed attracted and asked curiously: "Another version? Is it still so sad?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "No, no, on the contrary, the other version is not sad at all!"
"Then tell me!" Mu Qing blinked and looked at Li Yidao.
"There is no difference before. The old man is still accompanied by a robot, but this time, the robot is just a robot. He does not understand human emotions and cannot understand human emotions!"
Robots don't understand what death is. They won't die. Machines can be continuously iteratively upgraded, so they are very curious about death.
The old man's bed faced the setting sun, the robot held her hand, and the two of them stared at the slowly setting sun.
The old man said, with you by my side, I feel at ease facing death. Thank you for staying with me.
The robot said that this was his duty. His duty was to accompany the old man at the end of her life and make her less lonely!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old man muttered this word and said, "Don't you understand human emotions at all?"
The robot shakes its head!
Then he asked the old man: "What are you thinking about now?"
The old man replied: "I'm thinking about the first time we met. You came to my house and I said, look, this is your new home. From today on, you and I have a family. This is how we spend our lives together.
the starting point.”
The robot corrected the old man and said: "This is not my life!"
The old man talked a lot about her days with the robot, but every time she was refuted by the robot with calm logic!
The old man said: "Am I going to die soon?"
The robot said calmly: "The probability of death within ten minutes is greater than 90%."
The old man looked at him again and said: "I can't bear to let you go. You have been with me for so long. I regard you as my family, and you are willing to accompany me, an old man like me. I don't have anything good to leave you before I leave."
.”
"We have a contract!" the robot said.
The old man laughed, and even laughed so hard that she coughed repeatedly, but she still said: "You may not understand, but companionship is really important to humans. Humans
The companionship of two people is sharing the same life, and you have brought me great happiness."
Robot and old man holding hands.
The sunset is slowly setting, and the old man's vital signs are gradually disappearing.
The robot said: "But I haven't understood humans yet, so my mission will fail."
The old man used his last strength to tell her: "I left a gift for you. It's in the box. Maybe you can find the answer in it."
The old man died.
The robot finds the machine in the box and presses the button.
The old man's voice came out: "Hey, I should be dead when you hear this. Humans are animals that die easily. Don't be sad. Although you are not a human being, you are still my only concern. I love you, you don't
It doesn’t matter if you understand.”
The robot listened to the old man's voice repeatedly, and the old man said the answer was inside, but he couldn't feel it."
Listening to Li Yi's story, Mu Qing's eyes turned red again. She glared at Li Yi, as if asking him, didn't you say this story is not sad at all?
Then she heard Li Yi say quietly: "The robot listened repeatedly, and suddenly she suddenly realized: It turns out that the essence of human beings is a repeater."
"Ahhhh! Are you a devil?" Mu Qing went crazy.
Then, Li Yi succeeded, because through this story, he succeeded in making a huge change in Director Mu's mood!
The second half of the game was a matter of course!
