The premiere of "The Truman Show 2", the sequel of this classic movie, has attracted the attention of countless audiences since it was announced and accepted by Zhou Xingchi.
The dragon logo flashed across the big screen, and with the anticipation of hundreds of spectators at the scene, the screening finally began.
After the dragon mark passed, the big screen went black for an instant.
Just when the audience thought there was a malfunction, an extremely exciting sound came from the top-notch audio equipment, which made people's eardrums hurt.
"Truman!"
"The most popular superstar in the world for more than a hundred years, no one!"
"At one time, more than 2 billion people in more than 120 countries around the world watched him in front of the television."
"Since he bravely emerged from the studio five years ago"
An passionate male voice spoke a long paragraph quickly, and when Truman bravely walked out of the studio, the big screen finally lit up.
What was playing in the movie was an entertainment news, and the screen in the news was playing the scene when Truman walked out of the studio.
After walking out of the studio, the screen on the news turned and began to play highlights from several film and television dramas that Truman has acted in the past five years, as well as funny scenes from variety shows.
The host's excited voice did not stop, "Truman is still the same him, the same Truman who brought us countless happiness. Now his first global concert tour has arrived in Los Angeles. The concert has not started yet, but the venue
There are already countless fans outside who are eagerly looking forward to it.
According to Hollywood reports, the venue can only accommodate 80,000 people, but at this time, the number of fans staying outside the venue and blocking the road has reached 120,000. Traffic for several kilometers around the venue is completely paralyzed, and most of Los Angeles
The police turned into traffic police at this time.”
On the big screen, the host of entertainment news was spitting out saliva as he kept talking about how popular Truman was.
This series of words was so fast that the audience did not react for a while.
The picture did not give the audience time to think about it. The camera kept zooming in and entered the display screen in the news program studio.
Passing through the screen, the camera came to Hollywood on the other side of the ocean.
An aerial shot shows a huge stadium surrounded by densely packed people, like countless ants crowding around the venue.
And around the stadium as the center, every road was crowded with all kinds of cars, and the traffic was blocked.
In the sky, more than a dozen police helicopters and news helicopters from major TV stations were hovering over the stadium.
Looking at this posture, MJ was only like this at his peak.
Coupled with the entertainment news just now, it was said that this was Truman's first global concert tour, and the audience was shocked.
"Let me go, what is this?"
"Is Master Xing crazy? He held a concert with 100,000 people in Hollywood and blocked half of the city?"
"This is too outrageous. As for Deng Chao, that funny guy, he can sing whatever songs he wants. Don't be too cliche."
Although "The Truman Show" is a movie full of fantasy, this opening scene is still difficult for the audience to accept.
Even though the audience of this second film has already guessed that Truman will definitely become a global superstar after he is released. After all, people all over the world know him, and it will be difficult for him not to become popular.
Singularity YY doesn’t even dare to write this.
However, when the camera turned, there was no picture of the concert, and the screen went black again.
"The Truman Show 2"
The title appears on the big screen and the main film begins.
Instead of continuing the previous performances, Zhou Xingchi used a narration, and the main film begins three months after Truman left the studio.
"Good morning."
In the morning, Truman, played by Deng Chao, brushed his teeth and washed his face in the bathroom, and said hello to himself in the mirror.
This time, there is no monitor inside the mirror.
When he turned around and came to the restaurant, his first girlfriend, played by Tong Liya, had already prepared breakfast for him.
"Truman, morning."
"Morning, dear."
The two of them were like many young lovers in love, enjoying breakfast leisurely early in the morning, talking and laughing while eating.
After breakfast, the two of them picked up their briefcases and headed out to work.
I met a neighbor at the door and greeted him warmly.
Deng Chao looked at the neighbor who was leaving after saying hello, and said to Tong Liya in a helpless manner, "It's only been three months, and you don't ask me for an autograph anymore. People these days like the new and get tired of the old too quickly."
Tong Liya covered her mouth and said with a smile, "What's the matter, big star, weren't you bothered by people blocking the door of your house 24 hours a day, not even asking you to sign your name?"
"Please, I signed hundreds of names in one morning, and my hand almost broke after signing for a week."
Deng Chao showed off his funny nature, but fortunately it was not as exaggerated as the previous comedies, and he basically continued his performance in "The Truman Show".
When you perform something, you will have a memory. If you play the same role too many times, you will basically instinctively follow the same performance as before.
This is just like many old TV drama actors, they are so easy to die when they act in TV dramas.
Take Zhang Jiayi for example, he can play 90% of TV drama characters that fit his image just by relying on experience and routines, without even thinking about it.
The older generation of actors will easily overwhelm the new generation of actors in the field of TV dramas. No matter what kind of talented actors they are, as long as they are young people filming TV dramas, they will definitely be overrun by the older generation of actors.
They don't need to study the role too much, experience and routines are enough, they just act too much.
The Truman in "The Truman Show" is also real, so Deng Chao can just continue the performance of the previous work.
The movie continued, and Deng Chao and Tong Liya drove to work.
Truman worked at a TV station. As soon as he entered the TV station, everyone he met on the road greeted him with a smile. It was obvious that everyone was familiar with him. Truman even complained to a colleague that the neighbor next door was a little cold to him today. He was not like before.
Still chasing for autographs.
As a host, Truman's hosting effect is also very good. He has all kinds of jokes at his fingertips and constantly makes the guests and the audience laugh out loud.
This scene, which lasted less than ten minutes, left the audience a bit baffled.
At the beginning, Truman was already the most popular superstar in the world, holding a concert with 100,000 people in Hollywood, but now he suddenly returned to the time when he had been out of the studio for three months.
And this beginning is also very familiar to the audience.
Brush your teeth and wash your face, eat with your lover, greet your neighbors, go to work
"I'll go, it's not like this is also being monitored."
"It's a show within a show. Could it be that the show team built a bigger studio outside the studio?"
"That's not right. Isn't it true that after five years of global popularity, I went to Hollywood to hold a concert? Is it possible that the studio can even cover Los Angeles?"
"Could it be an alien?"
"No way"
Just as the audience kept guessing, the subsequent plot of the movie also gave an explanation.
After Truman left the studio, he rejected invitations from Global Ignorance Media and Entertainment Company. After repeated consideration, he finally chose to become a TV host.
For ten consecutive minutes, Truman's work and life were played out. Basically, the programs he hosted had the highest ratings in the same period. He was still more popular than many big stars. In three months, the audience has not forgotten him.
.
Moreover, when you go shopping or eat, you will definitely become the target of crowds of people watching.
Zhou Xingchi spent nearly half an hour using Truman's life and work to tell how popular he was when he left the studio.
Among them, people kept coming to contact Truman, including the leaders of the TV station.
However, Truman still only wanted to be an ordinary host, until a good friend who was an actor he met when he hosted the show asked him to help him play a small role in a comedy movie.
A friend helped, it was just a small supporting role, Truman agreed.
However, it was this supporting role that attracted countless audiences because of the addition of Truman, and the movie became a hit.
After this turning point, more and more friends came to him to make guest appearances, and the leaders of the TV station also came to him, begging him to make guest appearances in TV series produced in Taiwan.
In the beginning, it was just a guest appearance, but then the roles became bigger and bigger, and many of them were promised guest roles at the beginning, but then they faked the role at the last minute.
Until more and more things were added, the guest roles became the third male lead, the second male lead, and the crew even cut off the role of his male protagonist's friend, and he became the first male lead.
It was a semi-forced move, but Truman gradually began to like acting, and he was also a helpful person who couldn't resist all kinds of requests.
The plot developed like this, Truman became an excellent actor, and because of his comedy talent, he was invited to various variety shows, even if he only appeared in one episode.
The movies he acted in were always hits, the TV series set off a ratings frenzy, and the variety shows he participated in also did the same.
Everything was of his own free will, without any coercion from anyone or capital, at least not on the surface.
Three years later, Truman has begun to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people.
As the closest person, Tong Liya also noticed this change in him, but no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Truman got used to it.
Tong Liya didn't say anything else. The film and television dramas played by Truman really brought joy to the audience, and each one was well received.
From home to abroad, Truman began to have his own team and company.
Because of the previous reality show, the whole world is his fans, so the team proposed to hold a global concert tour to meet his fans all over the world.
Truman, who had been filming, wanted to sing, but Tong Liya firmly opposed it, and the two had a big quarrel.
Truman also embarked on a global concert tour, which is exactly what happened just now.
More than 2 billion people around the world have watched him on TV, and his concerts are naturally sold out.
Although it was the first time to hold a concert, the team managed to collect a few good songs, and it started surprisingly smoothly.
As time went by, Truman, who was not a professional, began to have bad sounds in his concerts.
However, relying on the huge popularity and the support of several good songs, the first round of global concert tour ended successfully.
Truman has completely entered the role of a superstar and is intoxicated by everyone's adulation.
Gradually, he also started to act in bad movies, and the audience became fatigued after watching too many of his performances. Although he was still a hit, it was limited to that, and his reputation began to decline.
Tong Liya tried to persuade Truman again, but Truman couldn't listen to her anymore, and they had a big quarrel again.
The next round of tour concerts began, and this time the team did not come up with classic songs. Every concert was basically a mixed bag of praise and praise.
After the tour ended, many people criticized him for over-consuming himself.
The popularity of The Truman began to decline. Every time the movie's reputation was not good, it was eager to restore it. However, the more anxious it became, the less good the movie was. Under the influence of the team, a vicious circle was formed.
Finally, Truman, who had completely changed, faced the breakup. He thought that his lover left because he was angry, so he held his breath in his heart and wanted to prove that he was still very angry.
Several years have passed, and Truman is still popular, but this fire has been mixed with too many curses.
There are a lot of movies, TV series, and variety shows all year round, and occasionally there are concerts, but the quality is not as good as each year.
When the audience finds out that the Truman they like has changed, they no longer like him.
Truman even began to consume his past. When greeting the audience in variety shows and concerts, he used the signature phrase "In case I never see you again, I wish you a good morning, afternoon and evening."
.”
In addition, this kind of lines have begun to be included in movies and TV dramas, and they are also used in various interviews.
This helped him regain some of his fans, but using too many memes became not only useless, but also annoying.
By the 80th minute of the movie, Truman was no longer popular and had become a washed-up second- and third-tier star, starting to support newly rising stars.
He began to be ostracized, including film and television companies and directors who had asked for his help before but were rejected, as well as friends who he had helped.
The actor friend who changed the male lead to the second male lead due to his participation in the movie frequently targeted him in a movie in which he co-starred, and let out a sigh of relief that he had been holding back for many years.
When the wall fell and everyone pushed him, Truman began to be surrounded by all kinds of negative information, and even slandered him for sleeping with underage female fans.
Truman began to completely degenerate. At this time, there was no story about the appearance of a bloody girlfriend or the return of the prodigal son, but the story of continued depravity.
Finally, while filming with the crew, I came to a city by the sea, near the original studio island.
Even on the beach, from a long distance away, Truman could still see the huge studio towering into the clouds.
Every few days, he would stare at the studio on the beach in a daze, until one day he saw groups of people going out to sea carrying various equipment.
Truman seemed to have thought of something, spent a large sum of money to join a group of people, and followed them onto the ship.
After arriving on the dream island and entering the long-abandoned studio, Truman felt extremely comfortable.
When the show was restarted, Truman still imagined that he was still the protagonist.
However, when the real protagonist, a little baby, appeared, Truman was stunned.
More than a hundred meters apart, Truman just looked at the lucky one who was selected. Perhaps the gap was enough to catch his eye, but the baby also kept staring at Truman's eyes curiously.
The two people, one large and one small, seemed to be fixed, looking straight at each other.
The camera is zoomed out, and countless people are busy in the studio. All this shows that this program is restarting.
The screen then went black. The reality show "XX's World" is as popular all over the world as it was many years ago. The rapid flashback scenes, the growth of the new protagonist, and the audience's reaction are overwhelming.
The audience had stopped thinking at this time. From the moment Truman and the baby looked at each other, everyone felt an inexplicable heaviness and depression in their hearts. Faced with this kind of scene, they were speechless.
Many years later, the little protagonist began to grow up and became a high-spirited young man, walking hand-in-hand with a young girl on the road.
At this time, a figure in a suit and leather shoes on the roadside attracted the attention of the audience. He turned back inadvertently, which surprised people.
"It's Truman!"
He resumed his life in the studio and became an office worker. He was not too decadent. Instead, he was like countless office workers on the road. Only when he passed by the little protagonist just now, his eyes changed for a moment, and then he resumed his busy pace.
Start your own work and life day after day.
The movie ends here.
However, the applause in the normal procedure did not appear.
