Chapter 604 - Superhero Independent Movie Box Office Record

Nangong Xunyuan is an ordinary office worker who is in his thirties.

I remember when I first graduated, I joined my first company, and I didn't know anything.

After having a good time, he began to be unlucky, and he couldn't figure out why the new leader kept targeting him and giving him small shoes.

It wasn't until now, years later, that he understood.

The boss who had recruited him left the company.

Why did you leave your job?

Because of the failure of the factional struggle, he was demoted.

Demotion is forcing people to take the initiative.

And where did Nangong Xunyuan know, he only knew that the close colleagues around him also left.

It was the old boss's man, who was forced away by the new leader.

And he didn't know that he had been playing with his old boss's people.

I remember that at a dinner, the new leader drank too much, and once told him to follow me, eat fragrant and spicy food.

Nangong Xunyuan is still young and ignorant, and when he comes back, he still plays with his old boss's people.

In the end, of course, he was pinched, and he was so miserable that he voluntarily resigned.

I couldn't figure out why before I left my job.

Recently, Nangong Xunyuan has experienced the cruelty of the workplace again.

He is a veteran of the company, having joined the company when it was just starting out.

But two years later, the veterans and bosses of various departments of the company left one after another.

There are those who take the initiative to go, and there are those who are forced to go.

When the company first started, the relationship between employees and bosses was like friends.

The company is on the right track, and after cultivating new people, the picture is poor.

The identity of the veteran is not ordinary, and the right to speak is too heavy, which is not conducive to the management of the company.

As a result, including Nangong Xunyuan, it was time for the bosses and elders of several departments to be cleaned up.

Although he has found a new owner, Nangong Xunyuan is unhappy in his heart, which is a great shame in life.

But what can be done about this?

It just so happens that now everyone on the Internet is talking about patriotism and going to watch "Doctor Strange".

An old-fashioned but unsolvable propaganda method.

Everyone is looking forward to Marvel movies having Daewoo superheroes, and now that it's here, isn't it unpatriotic not to watch it?

Marvel movies are full of Western elements, Chinese people are so rare, "Doctor Strange" is dominated by oriental elements, and Chinese people don't dislike oriental elements if they don't watch it?

So, Nangong Xunyuan went to the cinema on the important day when the global box office of "Doctor Strange" exceeded 10 billion.

After watching "Doctor Strange", Nangong Xunyuan was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.

There is a narrow blur between science fiction and magic, a huge gulf between superstition and science.

Many charlatans always like to build a crumbling bridge between science and superstition, and always hope to use this bridge to tie superstition and science into marriage.

Those admirers of mystical cultures, agnostics, devout religious believers, and those who indulge in superstitious spiritual worlds to enjoy pleasure fill a huge gap between science and the unknown, constituting a yin and yang world that is almost unsupervised.

Here, they call for wind and rain, form gangs and factions, in a vain attempt to break through the strong barriers of the human world, the divine world and the spirit world, and shuttle freely between the three worlds, so that the spirit can be liberated to the greatest extent.

Under the control of ancient beliefs and demons, they take pleasure in doing so, believing that this devotion can both prolong life and transcend the flesh.

The world's greatest magician can make an airplane invisible through high-tech means, which is a trick, and the audience will never believe that a big living person can move the plane around.

However, Jesus' high-level illusion of feeding a thousand people with a piece of cooking bread is not even an illusion, but only the lowest level of psychological suggestion, which can make many believers convinced.

From this, it can be seen that the best way to control a person is to control his spirit, as long as the spirit is no longer free, the mind is no longer rebellious, and the body will become a living zombie.

Recognizing the nature of illusion is the only way to avoid being easily fooled, but this is extremely difficult, and many people often become more ardent fans of mysticism after encountering major changes in their lives.

How can a mystic defeat a materialist with illusion?

The experience of "Doctor Strange" provides a good answer.

Who is Doctor Strange?

A super scholar, rich and handsome, a good doctor with wonderful hands and rejuvenation, constantly pursuing breakthroughs in neuromedicine, and constantly running all the way on the road of self-respect.

He took almost all of his achievements to himself as a result of the envy of others, and finally verified the saying: "God is a careful eye, and he is not accustomed to the happy men and women and families of the world, and he will destroy them as soon as possible." ”

In Daewoo's words, "if you get carried away, there will be a big disaster", and in the end, the arrogant medical genius was ruined by the speed of the car, somersaulted all the way, and was almost reimbursed.

Although his life was strong, he broke his muscles and bones, and his hands that could do precision nerve suturing were disabled.

For a surgeon, having his hands destroyed is a waste, and Dr. Strange is about to be challenged like never before when he embarks on a path of seeking medical treatment.

The movie has developed so far, and the story is quite normal, but the plot that happened afterwards has completely entered a different dimension.

The super illusion cast by the ancient mage completely transformed a materialist into a mystic.

If the superpowers shown in the Marvel superhero movies in the original Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, and Ant-Man are still related to science, then since Thor, it has entered the divine realm.

Even if you enter the god realm, it is quite reliable, because the gods can be regarded as human beings who have mastered the highest level of technology.

But when it came to Doctor Strange, Marvel's superheroes turned from a heel in the field of science and technology into a supernatural world that was completely contrary to technology, and Nangong Xunyuan felt that it was too much of a.

It is undeniable that the mystical culture of the East has a strong attraction to Westerners, and there are also many absurd and magical legends in India and at the foot of the Himalayas, such as monks floating in the air, taking objects from the air, and so on.

It's okay to appreciate the mysterious culture, if you believe it, you will deviate, and even have a risk of life, for example, a certain actress who has breast cancer and does not go to the hospital for treatment, but asks God to worship Buddha, and finally delays the best time for treatment.

The president of a certain group suffered from pancreatic cancer and was also superstitious about oriental mystical remedies and vegetarianism, but in the end he was unable to turn the tide.

In "Doctor Strange", the movie completely ignores the cruel facts, throws out the bloody concept of "healing the body with spirit", and finally makes a materialist completely fall down the rabbit hole and begin to doubt life.

In the real world, the PhD is a disabled person.

In the spirit realm, he is a powerful and heroic warrior who can go to heaven and earth, change the shape of matter at any time, and gain extraordinary superpowers. Not only did he overcome his physical defects, but he also took on the responsibility of saving the world.

This kind of scene is an indiscriminate method used by Marvel superheroes, and there is at least a trace of scientific basis in other movies, such as injecting serum, being transformed into a super soldier and Hulk, etc.

But it is really unreliable to let a real physical body suddenly be able to travel through the eighteenth layer of hell in the underworld, and even travel to the extragalactic galaxy and other spaces beyond the universe.

In Daewoo's traditional ghost stories, such as going to hell to avenge his father, the monkey made a big fuss in the underworld for the first time, and it was the soul that left the body, all the way down, and the body did not move.

This kind of setting represents the wisdom of the ancients, that is, even if you create a world of gods, demons and ghosts, you must retain the minimum logic and common sense as much as possible.

And the setting of Doctor Strange is anti-logical and anti-common sense, and the dazzling special effects can't hide the shortcomings of this film.

The transcendence of spirit over matter is the core theme of the film, because it violates common sense, which always makes a materialistic viewer like Nangong Xunyuan feel weird.

Nangong Xunyuan felt that it was not so much that the ancient mage of the spirit world defeated a materialist doctor with illusion, but that it was a dazzling life-and-death struggle between the human world and the spirit world, a scene imagined by a disabled neuromedical doctor who was on the verge of mental collapse.

The spirit cannot exist beyond the body, but the power of the spirit can create an illusory space, just like a sweet dream, so that the frustrated people in real life can get into the virtual gentle countryside or the world of ice and fire to complete their unfulfilled dreams.

However, in the end, such a movie set a record for Marvel superhero independent movies at the global box office - 13.2 billion.

Almost equaled the record of Avengers 2.

Nangong Xunyuan sighed, Daewoo people are really united.

The box office revenue of "Doctor Strange" is mainly provided by Daewoo people.

North America became its second vote.

Prior to this, the No. 1 box office for Marvel movies had been North America.
