100 『 Unknown 』

By the time Lu Yan woke up from his coma, it was already dawn.

The air was filled with a disgustingly thick smell of blood, and around him lay the stiff, cold remains of corpses.

The phalanges in his hand seemed to have been tightly clutched by him for a long time, and even the palm of his hand was rubbed into the skin.

Subconsciously put his finger bones in his breast pocket, and Lu Yan stood up tremblingly.

He didn't know why he was still alive.

All he knew was that he had to escape.

Stay alive and get out.

Seeing that Lu Yan had spent two days and two nights escaping from the forest, Gu Shengge opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

The film ends in a long shot. Bright sunlight shines through a window and obliquely onto the desk in the room. Lu Yan sat in front of the window, holding on to a pen with empty eyes. After a long time, he trembled his fingers and wrote a line of words on the manuscript paper word by word.

The Misty Forest - The only survivor to see.

The sun was still shining outside the window.

Lu Yan's eyes couldn't light up anymore.

The years go by, the times change. and with him those who bear witness by day and night, he is left alone in the world.

Only the finger bones at the mouth of his heart that he strung as a necklace pendant always alerted him.

The young, indignant, Lu Yan with a light in his eyes.

What kind of purgatory did he die in.

The movie ends in silence.

Gu Shengge, who was in front of the screen, lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time.

Yin Ze on the side rarely didn't speak, and seemed to be deep in thought. Gu Shengge looked at the blackened screen, and suddenly turned his head to Yin Ze and said,

"I don't know why, I suddenly don't want to watch the second part. ”

Empathizing with Gu Shengge's emotions at the moment, Yin Zegang wanted to nod, but was pressed by the stylist behind him. In desperation, he could only say "um" to Gu Shengge, saying that he also agreed with this decision very much.

"Actually, I don't like the second part very much, mainly because the first part is too classic, and the second part will inevitably become bland......" Secretly glanced at Ji Yalan, who was standing in the distance discussing costumes, Yin Ze subconsciously lowered his voice, approached Gu Shengge and said in a low voice, "I feel that the second part is used by Director Feng to win awards, it is all inner drama, Lu Yan has been self-hypnosis, there is really nothing to see...... And on the other hand, there is no centaur in that whole story, so I can't help with reference, and there is no you, the tree spirit boss who only appeared in the third part-" glanced at Gu Shengge with a meaningful smile, and Yin Ze lowered his voice and continued, "...... Looking at it this way, there is almost no reference value, uh, of course, this can't be heard by Director Feng and Sister Ji...... Anyway, we won't watch it, we will play against each other when we have time, and you can just tell what you talked about in the second part!"

"Well, I still know what to talk about. Unexpectedly reached a consensus with Yin Ze, Gu Shengge breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. At the moment when the movie ended, he seemed to have caught something in an instant. But his intuition told him that if he continued to watch the next one, maybe he would fall into that deep depression, and then it might be even more difficult to find the feeling he just had.

Gu Shengge still remembers how tragic the second part of the Misty Forest was criticized at that time. If the first part is a milestone in Feng Yu's directorial career, then the second part can definitely be called the Waterloo in Feng's films.

Probably because the fan one at that time was too classic, when the fan two was released, almost every audience who watched the fan one walked into the movie theater with great interest. However, when they were looking forward to the gorgeous special effects, stunning shapes, and bizarre plots like the first part in Fascination II, what caught their eyes was a dull and depressing life set.

The most shot in the whole movie is Lu Yan, who is wearing gold-rimmed glasses and writing the table.

Lu Yan, who escaped from the misty forest, the first thing he did after returning home alive was to keep writing a lot about what he saw and heard at that time.

It took him two days and two nights to successfully escape from the misty forest, and gave a detailed description of what he saw and heard to the expedition team, but because he did not bring out any video data or research results, although the expedition team was very afraid of the scene he said, it was also a little skeptical. At the request of the scientific expedition team, Lu Yan began to write a book. In the book, he described in detail what happened in the Misty Forest, but for some reason, he secretly left the part describing the little man and hid it in his study, and did not publish it in the book.

In the book, he vigorously describes the brutality of the centaurs when they kill, as well as their hostility towards humans. On the one hand, he pinned his hopes on hypnotizing himself, and people were already brutal beings. On the other hand, he is committed to using his own experience to warn all young people not to die in that forest again.

Unfortunately, not many people believed such unsubstantiated descriptions at the time. People bought the book with relish, and after reading it as a fantasy book, they speculated that the author of the book must have embezzled the legendary treasure.

Because of public opinion, Lu Yan, who was eager to hypnotize himself, had to write reports and articles without ploughing. He has spent his life trying to testify to the truth and danger of people, hypnotizing others while constantly hypnotizing himself. He forced himself to forget his experience with the little man every day, but the phalanx of the little man was worn by him as a pendant and always carried it on his heart.

Later, he married a wife and had a son named "Lu Ming". Watching the child grow up and develop a strong interest in his research field, Lu Yan was calm on the surface, but the sense of crisis in his heart deepened day by day.

So, he began to go out of his way to instill in his children the dangers of people and horses, and to tell him about the past.

In his story, there is no simple and innocent villain, no human greed and cruelty. No conspiracy traps, no bloody dissections. Yes, it's just the dangers of the Misty Forest, and the ease with which the Centaurs tear apart the humans.

At first, Lu Ming believed in his father without doubt. However, perhaps it was the arrangement of fate, one day after Lu Ming grew up as a teenager, he accidentally accidentally turned to the notes in Lu Yan's study.

The experience between his father and the little centaur deeply shocked Lu Ming, and also overturned his previous definition of the centaur clan. The young Lu Ming immediately ran to his father and asked him why he didn't make this paragraph public. His eyes were anxious, and the manuscript paper in his hand was pinched by him. Raising the manuscript in his hand, he indignantly questioned his elderly father, "Why?! Obviously humans did it wrong first! Why mislead everyone, it is the Centaurs who are cruel?"

Lu Yan looked at his son in shock, and for a moment, he seemed to see himself when he was young. He is old, and years of writing have made him sick, and the depression in his heart lingers, and over time it becomes cancer. He sat in the hospital bed, looking at his son's bright eyes, but did not have the courage to tell him the truth.

The young expedition team found him through his various research reports, hoping that he could help them find the entrance to the Centaur Village and explore the mystery again. Lu Yan insisted on refusing, but it attracted the dissatisfaction of the scientific expedition team. Just when things were deadlocked, Lu Ming took the initiative to stand up and say,

"Father's health does not allow it, but I am willing to go with you. ”

When the expedition team saw the backup plan, their eyes lit up, and they immediately agreed to their son's request. Lu Yan was furious and wanted to reprimand his son loudly, but he became ill due to a momentary anger, and his life was in danger for a while.

When Lu Yan was dying, he looked at his son who was sitting in front of the hospital bed, trying to persuade him, and only felt like a world away. He looked at Lu Ming's shining eyes, looked at the corners of Lu Ming's stubborn private enterprise, Lu Yan was silent for a long time, but he still took off the ventilator and told his son everything as it was.

The son was shocked by the truth of the matter, but Lu Yan laughed slowly as if he had done a big thing. Handing over the finger bone that was close to his heart to Lu Ming, Lu Yan smiled. He smiled bitterly, but his tone was one of relief.

"They didn't kill me, maybe because I was holding this phalanx. If you take this with you, maybe they won't attack you...... You remember, they're not much of a killing species...... Back then, I was just forced to be anxious......"

"If you could see them...... At that point, say sorry to them for me. ”

On the hospital bed, Lu Yan died suddenly. Lu Ming, who was beside the bed, clenched the finger bones in his hand and cried on his father's body.

After burying Lu Yan, Lu Ming took the initiative to find the scientific expedition team and asked them to conduct field training for him. The expedition team accepted Lu Ming to join and gave him rigorous training.

In the spring of the second year, walking in the middle of the huge team, Lu Ming grabbed the phalanges on his chest and stepped into the mountains of the misty forest without hesitation.

The last shot of the movie is when Lu Ming walks into the misty forest, immature but full of resolute back.

The audience in front of the curtain fell into deep depression and unwillingness.

Gu Shengge can fully understand why those viewers sitting in front of the curtain feel so strongly dissatisfied after watching this one.

Because change is an unacceptable thing in itself.

Everything he experienced in the misty forest changed Lu Yan, and the only one who escaped was not only forgetting the greed and cruelty of human beings that he had once been indignant about, but also the things he had seen on the little centaur that humans did not have.

What he saw with his own eyes changed him and left him with nowhere to hide. When his teammates were torn apart in front of him, it was destined that he would never be able to find the former Lu Yan, who had no prejudice against nature and human beings.

So he hypnotized himself almost morbidly, and also hypnotized the audience. He was contradictory and depressed, almost like a late-stage manic neurosis. He tried to convince everyone of him, but never succeeded. Because even he himself can't believe what he writes himself.

Lu Yan is pathetic and lamentable, but Lu Ming is full of vitality and new hope.

For nearly an hour of reezing in Lu Ming's oppressive and obscure world, it was not easy to see Lu Ming standing in the light, of course the audience wanted to hold on to the light in front of them, break free from the darkness, and walk to a place where there was light.

However, the most helpless thing is precisely this, just the moment they caught Lu Ming, the movie ended abruptly without warning.

Some people say that Feng Yu is to cut out more box office sets, and some people say that Director Feng is playing tricks and stirring up topics. But more people are endlessly looking at the third part to hurry out - what happened when Lu Ming went in? Did he meet the centaurs? Did the centaurs attack him? What is the style of this expedition?

Too many questions piled up in their minds, transformed into unknown pictures, and accumulated into ardent expectations for the third part.

The first part, defending the title.

The second part, sighing and unbreakable.

What will this third part look like?
