In the screening room on the third floor of the Great Hall of the People, after Deng Chao greeted his neighbors rather comically at the door of his house, the atmosphere in the entire screening room became much more relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, I was frightened by another neighbor’s old man’s unleashed puppy.
Deng leaned back and held his hands in front of him, looking cautiously at the puppy on his calf, just like anyone who is usually afraid of dogs.
For such a small dog, Deng Chao was quite frightened and made the audience feel a little funny.
"This is a comedy, of course!"
In the crowd, Li Tao slowly stuffed popcorn into his mouth one by one, thinking to himself.
After graduation, I stayed in Beijing and worked for two years. I went to and from work in the high-rise CBD. I wore suits and ties all day long and looked like a decent person.
However, in his advertising design business, he was tortured by Party A every day. He worked exhaustingly and worked overtime for free until midnight every day, and he didn't make much money.
After finally changing the plan for the last order N times, the customer was finally satisfied. I didn’t have to work overtime today. I could have a relaxing weekend and have time to watch the premiere. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to come even if I grabbed the tickets.
look.
I have been taking free classes for a week in a row. This time it seems to be a comedy. I need to relax and be happy.
Hope Li Qian can make me laugh for two hours!
As he was thinking about it, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound and an unknown machine fell from the air on the big screen, which startled Truman.
He tentatively walked towards the thing slowly, reached out and touched it, and found that there was no problem. He picked it up and looked at it in his hand.
It looked like a large lamp with a note on it that said "Sirius A".
Truman was confused and looked up at the sky, still confused.
Not only Truman, but the audience was also confused as to how such a thing could fall from the sky.
But then the movie explains that the radio broadcast in Truman's car was because a plane passing over Taoyuan City had a malfunction and parts fell off.
The reason for such nonsense also amused the audience present.
However, some people were still confused. Li Tao remembered that the thing that fell seemed to be a lamp.
In the previous final trailer, four giant searchlights that could illuminate the entire town also appeared.
But the one that fell was too small and wrong.
But what the heck, I'm just here to relax.
Immediately afterwards, Truman drove to the square in the city center. After parking the car, he bought a morning paper and a fashion magazine from a newsstand. When passing by a fast food restaurant, he was stopped by two people who looked somewhat similar.
Ask him about insurance.
There is a close-up of the Wallace sign on the wall, which Li Qian said is a very important advertisement.
But Li Tao didn't think that much. Looking down at the camera, the two people looked so funny.
The camera follows Truman walking on the street, his steps brisk, and he is obviously in a good mood.
On the way, two people next to me pointed their mobile phones at the bicycles of various colors on the roadside. They scanned the electric bicycles, unlocked them and rode away.
Public bicycles are available in many cities, but this is the first time I have seen electric bicycles. Li Tao thinks they are quite convenient, and there are no fixed stations and they can be parked anywhere.
However, he was even more eye-opened when he discovered that there were even shared cars that could be driven away by just scanning the QR code.
After a long day at work, Truman felt much more relaxed as he leisurely walked to work.
Then Truman met another little girl who was broadcasting live on the road with her mobile phone. She walked over to her and made a V sign to her mobile phone.
The big screen gave a close-up of the mobile phone screen, which was obviously much larger than today's full-screen mobile phones. At this time, countless barrages were frantically flashing the word "Truman".
I’ve never seen a live broadcast on a mobile phone, but it doesn’t prevent viewers from understanding it. Now it’s even more strange. Everyone watching the live broadcast knows Truman.
Also, what they said at the beginning, about life records, what exactly do they mean.
However, the little girl who suddenly screamed after seeing Truman was taken away by the police nearby because she could not live broadcast on the street.
“It’s funny, but it’s a bit tricky!”
Li Tao continued stuffing popcorn into his mouth, still confused about the content of the movie.
But it's enough to be funny.
After Truman went to work, he was sent on a business trip, but when he boarded the ship at the dock, he seemed to be afraid of the sea water and did not dare to get on the ship.
In the blink of an eye, at night, Truman invited his best friends who grew up together to come to the beach to drink and play football, and talked about his dream of traveling around the country.
Two close friends had a great time drinking, talking, and playing football, which made Li Tao envious.
I repeat the busy work day after day, and basically don’t have much time to drink or play ball with friends at night. Even on weekends, I would rather sleep at home, play games, and watch movies.
Relaxing times are always short-lived. Truman, who had always been optimistic and cheerful before, sat on the beach and began to reminisce.
When I was a child, I went to sea with my father. Because of his persistence, he refused to return even when the weather was bad. As a result, my father was swept away by the waves and his body was not found.
After reminiscing, it happened that at this time, it suddenly started raining heavily.
However, the strange thing is that the diameter of the heavy rain is only about one meter, and it falls right on Truman.
Li Tao, like all the viewers, was stunned. The rain was so strange. I had heard of it raining on one side and the sun shining on the other, but this kind of rain was unheard of.
Truman was also stunned, and looked up at the sky blankly.
He stood up and walked to the side, but the rain moved with him and still drenched him.
He suddenly ran to the left, and Yu also moved to the left.
Running to the right, the rain moved to the right again, as if it had locked onto him.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Truman laughed crazily on the spot. He had never seen such a spectacle in his life.
He continued to shout excitedly, but not long after, a thunder exploded, and heavy rain poured down elsewhere.
However, in the heavy rain, where Truman was originally located, the one-meter-diameter heavy rain range was clearly visible in a close-up, and seemed to be incompatible with other rains around him.
"????"
Such a ridiculous spectacle really made the audience happy, and Li Tao could clearly hear uncontrollable laughter from around him.
"Haha, it's raining so hard, it even has a tracking function."
"Real local rainfall is simply an astronomical spectacle."
"It amused me to death, as if there was a hole in the sky and water was leaking."
...
Li Tao was also extremely happy. This was simply a complete comedy, and it didn't rely on jokes or performances. It just used such an outrageous plot to make people unable to help but laugh.
Although it is strange and has many doubts, I don’t have time to think about it so much and continue to follow the movie.
When Truman came home soaked in the rain, his wife looked puzzled and asked him what he was doing.
Truman did not explain, but talked about his travel plan.
After her wife's persuasion failed, she could only comfort Truman and ask him to take off his wet clothes and go to bed to do things. She had always wanted a child.
Meat show?
Many viewers' eyes lit up. Although they didn't know Wang Ou, she was indeed the kind of woman with a look that makes people lust after her. She was particularly attractive.
However, at this moment the camera turned and Lei Jiayin and Zhou Dehua appeared on the big screen wearing security uniforms.
Lei Jiayin, who looked like a loser, was still commenting and sighing, "Every time when the critical moment comes, the camera will move away... When the wind blows, the curtains move, you can't see any wonderful scenes."
"???"
All the audience were stunned. At this time, even the stupidest people realized that Truman was being watched.
"Fuck!"
Li Tao cursed secretly in his mind.
It was so exciting, I was actually being watched, and cameras were installed at home, even when people were doing errands.
I thought it was the security guard at the hero's home before, but it turned out not to be the case. It looked more like some force was spying on the hero.
At the same time, I don’t know why, but I am also slightly excited, looking forward to the plot that follows.
After dawn, Truman continued to work and bought a morning newspaper and a fashion magazine as usual.
This time, there was a man pretending to read a newspaper outside the newsstand, secretly looking at Truman from time to time.
?has a problem!
After the previous surveillance, Li Tao could tell that there was something wrong with this person without even thinking about it. Nine times out of ten, he was one of the people who went out under surveillance.
After buying the magazine, Truman continued to go to work, but this time he met a familiar figure on the road, a homeless man who looked exactly like his father.
However, just as his face was full of wonder and excitement, two policemen suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kidnapped Wanderer.
Truman yelled and chased after him, but was blocked by people frequently on the road. At an intersection, he was almost hit by a passing car.
There was no trace of the homeless man, and Truman was left standing helplessly at the crossroads.
The scene turned, Truman returned home and talked about this with his mother, but his mother said that of course it was because of him that his father died, and she was definitely wrong.
Under the self-blame for killing his father, the guilty Truman still did not ask this question.
He went to the basement and found the toys his father had bought for him before, as well as photos of him and his father when he was a child.
At the same time, a photo of his wife was also found.
But on the back of the photo frame, there is a photo of another woman.
No, I shouldn’t say photos, but photos of several fragments put together.
Hair, forehead, eyes, eyebrows, face, nose...the pieces are pieced together to form an incomplete photo of a woman.
Truman picked up a few fragments nearby and continued to put them together.
At this time, all the viewers suddenly realized that the photos of the model that had been secretly torn off in the company were used here.
Truman, who had a wife, was still missing another woman, and from countless magazine photos, he found parts that were similar to that woman and put them together one by one.
“So romantic!”
Although I don’t know why, many female viewers were very moved.
Then, Truman began to recall. It turned out that this was his first love, whom he met in college. However, not long after they met, her family came to take her away by force.
Before being taken into the car, the first love played by Tong Liya kept saying, "This is all a scam. All the sky and the sea are just the scenery. They are all fake. This is just a show!"
What?
Li Tao was stunned. If she was not mentally ill, wouldn't it mean that the sky and the sea were fake?
A show.
Life records.
There is no script, no lines.
When the previous scenes were connected together, Li Tao seemed to have caught something in his mind.
And the next scene made him solidify his idea.
The scene cut to a restaurant, where several waiters and all the guests were all staring in the same direction on the wall, while two gossiping waiters were still discussing The Truman.
Although the footage does not show what they are watching, it is obvious that they are watching a TV, a screen or something.
In other words, when Truman was under surveillance, not only the mastermind behind the scenes could see it, but it was probably a live TV broadcast that everyone could see.
Li Tao was shocked.
It’s all right, Zhou Xingchi said before that people are tired of exaggerated and artificial performances, so this is a real life record, live broadcast!
What Tong Liya said about a show was also literal.
Before, those who were interviewed were Wang Ou and Zhang Wei, Truman's wife and best friend. The meaning of their words was everything, and they coordinated with the performance.
They are all actors, but compared to Truman who was under surveillance, they acted with knowledge and cooperation.
"Fuck!"
After sorting out the front and back and thinking clearly, Li Tao couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.
This is too scary. To monitor a person and expose every second of his life to the audience has become a show!
Not only Li Tao, but most of the people who came to see the premiere were movie lovers. There were thousands of spectators in the screening hall, and they roughly understood what was going on.
Everyone looked like they had seen a ghost, looking at the big screen in disbelief.
"I'll go, it's too perverted!"
"Monitoring a person around the clock and live broadcasting it for everyone to see. The mastermind behind this must be a psychopath!"
"Both my wife and my best friend are actors? They can't be fake, right?"
"This is too imaginative. Isn't it illegal to monitor others and broadcast it live? How dare you broadcast it on TV?"
"It's a bit scary. No wonder I occasionally feel like someone is peeping and following me."
.......
In the huge screening room, some low-pitched discussions began to occur. This scene was really so terrifying that anyone who saw this kind of thing could not help but feel panicked.
The movie continued, and it was daytime again, and Truman drove to work.
There seemed to be something wrong with the car radio. There was constant noise. After some fiddling and kicking, it was resolved.
A male voice came from the radio: Get ready for action, he is coming soon, actors are on standby!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Truman was about to turn around.
Just as he was turning the corner, there was another voice on the radio: Take the puppy out, make sure the coffee is hot, everyone is ready, and he turned into Jiefang Road!"
Truman unconsciously glanced at the road sign, which read Jiefang Road.
I was stunned at that time and almost bumped into an old lady on the roadside.
Along with the rapid sound of braking, the radio continued to make a sound: Be careful, he almost hit someone, change the channel quickly!"
"Bah..."
A harsh sound came, and everyone on the street stopped in unison and put their hands in their ears.
After a second, everyone who stood still returned to normal and continued to do what they were doing.
Truman was left in the car in shock. Even if the host on the radio said that he had just communicated with the police channel, he could not clear up his doubts.
This short ten seconds also scared the audience. Now it seems that this surveillance is not simple. It is obvious that the people behind the scenes have all the whereabouts of Truman, and everyone on the street is
Watcher.
horrible!
The sudden change in painting style made many viewers even more excited.
But it also made some viewers who just came to watch a comedy and have a laugh a little depressed.
Li Tao just wants to relax and don't want to see any conspiracy.
However, Truman then broke into an office building. When the elevator opened, it was not an elevator but a lounge where people were drinking coffee and chatting.
Truman asked frantically, but was thrown out ruthlessly.
The next day, he secretly came to the hospital where his wife worked, broke into the operating room, and entered the preparation area. Through the glass, he saw his wife, a nurse, next to the doctor, and there was a patient lying on the bed.
Seeing Truman outside, the doctors and nurses in the operating area were all stunned.
However, the doctor was still very conscientious and took the scalpel from the nurse to cut the patient's right leg.
However, as soon as the surgery was performed and the patient was touched during the operation, the patient suddenly wanted to sit up, and the nurse had to use quick eyesight and quick hands to press the respiratory mask on his nose and pin him firmly to the hospital bed.
As the patient struggled, he knocked over the tray next to him with a bang.
Outside, Truman's eyes widened and he looked at all this in disbelief through the glass.
However, the hospital security arrived on time and took him away.
After the absurd scene passed, the audience was already overjoyed.
"Haha, I was laughing so hard!"
"If you really want to cut someone, that person will be unlucky."
"The elevator is fake, the operating room is fake, the doctors and patients are fake. This is too nonsense."
"This actor has suffered a big loss and needs to pay more!"
"In order to cooperate with the surveillance, it is simply invincible!"
.......
Li Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud. This scene completely met his expectations. In terms of comedy, although it was not very dense, the movie was funny enough.
However, I don't know why, but while I couldn't help but want to laugh, I suddenly felt a little sad for no reason.
Truman's life is a live show, but he doesn't know it. How sad that is!
