Chapter 449 Trumans life is broadcast live every day
On the big screen, Huaguo UnionPay’s advertisements have always served as the backdrop.
The shot at this time is also very interesting. It was shot from upwards and downwards, making the twins look a little funny.
However, what is even sadder is that Truman obviously didn't know that he had unintentionally cooperated with the two supporting actors in an advertisement.
He also greeted them warmly and tried to sell insurance to the two supporting characters.
Truman’s occupation is also revealed here. He is an insurance salesman for China People’s Insurance Company!
This also confirms why at the beginning of The Truman, when greeting the neighbors, he would say: "Maybe we won't be able to see each other for a while, so I wish you good afternoon and good night!"
This also makes the audience look forward to the subsequent plot even more.
Movies are not advertisements. Once you have a great idea, you still need to derive it, expand it, and use this idea as the core of the story to show the plot!
This is a great test of the abilities of the director and screenwriter.
Truman came to the company and suddenly secretly called the Fiji Islands Service Office to ask a girl named Sophia if she had left any registration information.
It's a pity that no, he didn't find anything!
This scene makes people a little confused. It is obvious that Truman is married, but why do he still need to inquire about someone who knows that he is a girl just by his name?
However, the movie does not explain it.
Of course, everyone subconsciously thinks that this girl named Sophia should be a foreshadowing. As for the specific details, we need to continue to read.
Truman then secretly took out a fashion magazine and used an exaggerated cough to cover up the sound of tearing off the model's eyes from the fashion magazine.
However, his approach is still confusing.
A colleague asked him to go overseas to handle an order.
But Truman used various excuses to refuse, which is also confusing.
Why was it normal at first, but as soon as he talked about crossing the sea, his color changed.
Soon, the audience understood why Truman was so resistant.
He came to the ferry, which is where Huaguo UnionPay hangs out.
He paid for the boat ticket with UnionPay Cloud QuickPass.
Well, after all, they paid for it!
But Truman's reaction soon made everyone understand why he was so resistant.
Because when Truman saw a small boat sinking in the water, his face suddenly turned pale, his feet were trembling, and he couldn't even stand. Finally, he raised his head in fear, not daring to look at the water.
Left here.
He finally failed to cross the sea!
When the crew asked him if he needed help, he smiled and said, "I'm fine!"
But everyone can see that he is very bad!
Obviously, he resisted crossing the sea because he was afraid of water!
But why are you afraid of water?
The movie still doesn't give an immediate answer.
This is setting the stage again.
Including the previously mentioned Fiji, the girl named Sophia, and the torn-out fashion magazines, etc., etc., are all foreshadowing.
Truman returned home.
The wife is back.
The audience suddenly discovered that Truman’s wife was the actress interviewed at the beginning of the movie!
I couldn't help but feel more and more sad. Even the closest lover I shared the same bed with was actually an actor and all fake!
And if the twin brothers’ advertising methods were relatively subtle before, then the wife’s advertising is very simple and crude!
Truman's wife got off the bicycle and took out something from the basket in front of the bicycle.
"Look, the supermarket is doing a promotion. I got this for free when I checked out. Mrs. Fang's Chef's Companion, it won't be dull when chopping and grinding... it can also be washed in the dishwasher!"
The audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.
There is no way, this scene, from the perspective of the audience, it would be really stupid to advertise like this in reality, but in Truman's world, for Truman, this is reality!
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Truman responded awkwardly and symbolically, obviously he was used to his wife's situation.
He has no idea what his wife is doing at this moment, just like he was pressed against the billboard by the twins before. He has no idea at all.
Little did he know that at this time, audiences around the world were watching him.
At least the audience, well, not only the audience watching "The Truman Show", but also the audience in the cinema, their laughter is also the same?
The average audience in the theater at least found this scene very funny, but they would just wonder how much this product placement cost?
But some directors, some filmmakers, and some film critics cannot laugh, or in other words, after laughing, they feel bad.
Because, this is very humorous, but it is black humor.
I am the only one in the world who doesn’t know that I am...the protagonist!
I don’t know why, but many people have an inexplicable feeling of horror. It seems that the movie has even dragged the moviegoers into it!
The scene suddenly changed.
A man appeared on the screen holding a bottle of beer.
It is Qingdao beer.
The audience will know that advertising is coming again.
He picked up the beer and took a sip, then pointed the beer's trademark towards the camera and said, "This is real beer!"
He didn't put away the beer until Truman looked over.
It turns out that he is a good friend of Truman, and the two played ball together.
Truman told the other party that he wanted to take a long trip.
It turns out that Truman has lived in this place called "Taoyuan Town" since he was born, and he has never even left. Therefore, he has always been eager to get out of here, go farther, and see the outside world.
And the place he dreams of is the place called "Fiji".
He longed for that place, and he shared the place in his imagination with his friend named "Ma Long".
If you go there, you won't want to come back.
Malone asked him: "When do you want to leave?"
The smile on Truman's face faded, and he said: "It's not that simple, you need money, and you have to plan well! You can't just leave!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Later, through Truman’s memories, it is explained why Truman is afraid of water.
This stems from the psychological shadow he had when he was a child.
When Truman was a child, he went boating with his father on the sea. His father said it was too dangerous outside, but he insisted on going there to take a look. As a result, they encountered a storm and Truman's father accidentally fell into the water and died.
"This logic makes sense, but damn, was his father's death also arranged by the director?" Liu Fei originally nodded as if he was stunned, but then he looked at Chen Jingning with wide eyes and asked.
Chen Jingning nodded and said: "It should be a fake death, right? This is a reality show broadcast live around the world, it can't really make people die, right?"
"Then this is too scary, isn't it? Artificially creating a psychological shadow? Why?" Liu Fei felt a little horrified.
"Perhaps you don't want Truman to leave? After all, this Taoyuan Town is under the control of the producer, and Truman is the protagonist! He is indispensable!" Chen Jingning analyzed.
"Fuck, in this case, even Truman's father should be an actor. In order to make Truman give up the idea of leaving, he deliberately arranged such a death scene for Truman's father. But can the storm also be artificially created?"
This was originally just a relatively conventional plot, but because the background of "The Truman Show" is a super reality show, naturally this incident made countless viewers think that they were similar to Chen Jingning and Liu Fei.
doubt.
Was Truman's father's death really an accident?
Or is everything arranged?
And the next moment, the audience was sure that it must have been arranged.
Because Truman was sitting on the beach, recalling the past with his father.
Suddenly a very special "heavy rain" fell.
Why is it special?
Because, the heavy rain was like a spotlight, facing only Truman!
It just fell from the sky, but it happened that there was only rain in the circle where Truman was!
At the same time, there was lightning and thunder.
Yes, the director team can create storms and thunder and lightning!
Truman also discovered this strange situation. Instead, he laughed and shouted curiously.
But at this moment, the heavy rain finally started falling indiscriminately.
Truman ran home.
He excitedly told his wife that they only needed to raise 50,000 yuan to travel around the world for a year!
But his wife poured cold water on him and told him, what next?
It will be like five years ago, with nothing!
There seems to be another foreshadowing here.
What happened five years ago?
Why did Truman lose everything?
The wife told Truman: "Don't be such a reckless child, we still have a mortgage and a car loan! If we just leave, who will repay these debts?"
But Truman still insisted. He felt that it was an adventure.
As a wife, oh, not as an actress, "The Truman Show" is her job.
Of course she couldn't let Truman leave.
So she added: "Didn't we plan to have children? Isn't that considered an adventure?"
But Truman was very determined this time. He believed that the child's matter could be postponed, but this time, he wanted to leave here first!
"Go see the world and have an adventure!"
But his wife only thinks that he is childish.
Kissed him and said: "You will give up this idea soon!"
She seemed very determined, maybe this was not the first time Truman had such an idea.
But obviously he failed to make the trip every time. His wife believed in the director's skills, so he must have a way to make Truman give up such an idea.
"Take off your wet clothes and go to (Harmony) bed early to rest!"
Screen switching.
Two men in security uniforms looked at the TV and said: "You can't see anything. At this time, the camera will always be removed, and then the music will play!"
"If the wind blows and the curtains move, you won't be able to see any wonderful scenes!"
The audience in the theater couldn't help laughing.
Some people even laughed and complained: "This show is so awesome, and I even give it to my wife! Tsk, tsk, even though she is an actress, life as a couple is always real, right?"
"By the way, you won't even make arrangements to have a baby, right?"
"Those two security guards are also amazing. If we really let them see wonderful scenes, can this program still be broadcast?"
However, there are still a small number of people who cannot laugh no matter what.
Yes, it seems like everything is arranged.
But even his closest lover is an actor, and "love" is all arranged. So what else is real in The Truman World?
Maybe, except for Truman, everything is fake.
If it weren't for that, such scenes are not allowed to be broadcast, otherwise, I'm afraid they wouldn't be let go, right?
Even if the outside world can’t see it, what about the crew?
Will the producer see it?
It’s so scary when you think about it!
The plot continued, and Truman went to the newsstand to buy newspapers and magazines as usual.
Every time he was asked if he bought it for his wife, he would always smile and say yes, no amount was enough.
However, in the next scene, Truman's father actually appeared!
The father who died in an accident actually "came back to life"!
"dad……"
Truman was a little confused.
Isn't his father dead?
It’s just that Truman hasn’t figured out the situation yet.
The "passerby" who was originally serving as the background suddenly rushed out and left Truman's father quickly.
And when Truman wanted to chase him.
It was as if the whole world was against him. First, a group of runners stood in front of him.
Then someone blocked him on a bicycle, and more than that, he watched the two people get on the bus with his "father".
But when he rushed over, the bus refused to stop no matter how he shouted.
When he chased after him, there were even cars on the road blocking him.
In the end, he could only watch his father go away helplessly.
This scene can be said to be very unexpected.
The audience in the theater was also confused.
Truman's father died and now comes back to life, so the audience can be sure that the accident that year was simply a script arranged by the director.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The purpose is to give Truman a psychological shadow. Of course, maybe the actor of the "father" is no longer available?
But, forget it.
But why did the dead person reappear in front of Truman?
Bug?
Out of control?
Or, could it be that the person who played Truman's father had his conscience discovered and re-entered Taoyuan Town to remind Truman that this was all a scam?
It can be said that this scene left the audience in the theater with questions on their minds.
Why?
Why?
Why?
They have many questions.
However, the movie still didn’t give the answer right away!
Truman went to his mother and told her that he saw his father.
But his mother just said: "I often think of passersby as him. Last Thursday, I almost hugged a stranger!"
Truman naturally could not be persuaded by his mother so easily: "I swear that's dad! He was dressed like a tramp, and it was very strange. A businessman and a woman walking a dog ran out of nowhere and took him with them.
Got the bus!”
It’s just that his father is an actor, but what about his mother?
Apparently an actor too!
Therefore, the more I watch it, the more sad and scary it becomes.
Father, mother, wife, friends, colleagues, neighbors, everything, they are all actors and they are all fake.
Therefore, his mother would deny it repeatedly and feel that Truman had seen the wrong person.
She asked Truman all kinds of questions and tried in various ways to make him believe that he was wrong!
Doubts still accompany the audience.
The plot did not stop there.
Truman returned home and found a photo of him and his father.
He was convinced that what he saw was his father!
How could a son misidentify his father?
When his wife came down from upstairs, he pretended to be repairing the lawnmower in a hurry.
As a result, the wife found another opportunity to advertise: "We should get rid of this lawn mower and replace it with an Elk lawn mower!"
What's more, what's interesting is that every time it's commercial time, the camera will always zoom in deliberately.
I just want to tell you directly that I am advertising!
At this moment, Truman dug out a girl's clothes.
Through the words of outside viewers watching "The Truman Show", the story of this piece of clothing was revealed.
A female audience member wondered: "What is he doing?"
In fact, this is also the doubt of many movie theater audiences.
At this time, another old viewer of "The Truman Show" said, "Look, they took away the actress, but they couldn't erase his memory!"
Ironically, the TV actually started playing a video clip of Truman and the mistress of this dress.
Memories, the director helps you remember and helps the audience remember!
It also revealed why Truman wanted to go to Fiji and why Truman wanted to leave Taoyuan Town, because he was not ignorant!
Also because of the girl who was taken away!
The girl named Sophia is Truman's real first love.
Even if that girl had not violated the director's will, she might be Truman's "wife" now!
Truman liked her very much, and it can even be said that he fell in love at first sight when he saw her for the first time.
So, he later took the initiative to pursue her.
But she showed resistance.
Truman asked her many reasons, but Sophia shook her head and denied it, saying it was not because of those.
Not because of that girl, not because Truman is not handsome...
Among them was a medal that Truman noticed, which read: "hows
it
going
to
end?"
Meaning "How does it end?"
Because the camera doesn't stay for too long, ordinary viewers won't pay too much attention.
But inside the cinema, there are many "extraordinary" insiders.
But they were sensitively aware that this was also a foreshadowing!
Yes, how to end it. How should you end it? After all, it is not a real world, everything is false, only Truman is real!
Lies and deceit, how can you end it?
But soon, they no longer had the time to think about it.
Because of that girl, that girl named Sophia, or the actress?
She clearly knew that there were cameras everywhere, and their every move was being monitored, filmed, and broadcast to a global audience.
But she still felt compassion. She couldn't bear to see Truman being held here like a prisoner.
She actually knew that once she told the truth, she would definitely be taken away.
So she told Truman: "If you don't leave now, there will be no chance!"
The girl knew that she had violated the director's arrangement by doing so.
She actually tried to tell Truman the truth!
"Everyone knows everything about you, and everyone can see your every move clearly, but everyone is acting, do you understand?..."
She also told Truman that her name was not Roland, but her real name was "Sophia!"
When a man claiming to be her father was about to take her away, she made a last-ditch effort.
She grabbed a handful of sand on the beach and told Truman: "This is all faked for you. The sky, the ocean, are all the scenery. Everyone is watching your show! Don't listen to them, everything they have to say is
I’m lying to you!”
As a result, the man who claimed to be the girl's father told Truman that the girl had schizophrenia!
In the meantime they will move, to Fiji!
This also explains why Truman always wants to go to that place!
This is obviously another motivation for Truman to leave Taoyuan Town.
