157. Contradiction and Conflict Sense (4000 words for subscription, for monthly passes!)
Xu Shi's return once again made the crew busy again, especially Xu Shi's state at the moment is completely different from before, so those who have been filmed before need to be re-filmed.
There is also Xu Shi who has added a little scene, that is, a kitten.
"Xu Shi, tell me, what is the purpose of this kitten?" Cheng Guochao asked as he looked at the well-behaved kitten in Xu Shi's arms.
In the past two days, he has also been thinking about the purpose of Xu Shi's arrangement of this scene, but he can't think of anything.
Hearing him ask, Xu Shi didn't sell the lawsuit again, and said: "This kitten is an accidental product that was inadvertently picked up by Truman when he was a child, so it is the only one of all the things that Truman touches that is not arranged."
And since this is a virtual world, in essence, this is a kitten and a program, so Skynet didn't care about this kitten.
But what if the kitten played a key role in Truman's understanding of the virtual world?
Also, in the movie, the essence of a cat is a program, but if you think about it, what did Truman become in the end?"
When Xu Shi said this, Cheng Guochao suddenly hit a spirit and blurted out: "God?"
Xu Shi nodded and said: "Yes, it is the god of the virtual world, because of the special circumstances, he is the only person who can be completely uncontrolled by the virtual world, and he can do whatever he wants in the virtual world."
But this point needs to be considered, that is, how to reflect Truman's ability in the virtual world?
Fighting? 10 or 10,000? I feel that this is just a manifestation of stiffness, and the only manifestation that can reflect Truman's domination in the virtual world is the creation of life!"
Xu Shi's words really shocked Cheng Guochao, he really didn't expect this, yes, creating life is the most great manifestation of 'God'.
Xu Shi continued: "In the end, Truman gave this kitten real thoughts and wisdom in the virtual world, so that Truman is the real god of the virtual world. ”
Cheng Guochao completely understood that Xu Shi was completely setting up a problem for Truman's choice.
In the original script, Truman was indeed able to fight ten at a time, and no black-clad agent could beat him, and would even be killed by him in the virtual world, including life in reality.
But this can only reflect the strength of Truman, although it is said that leaving the virtual world will make Truman lose these all at once, but if you think about it carefully.
Truman has lived in the 'Taoyuan World' since he was a child, no matter how fake this world is, no matter how much despair Truman encounters later, some essential things still cannot be changed.
Truman personally doesn't like violence, so giving up his power in the virtual world is nothing to Truman.
But what if he could create life in the virtual world?
It's a completely different concept.
With such ability, will Truman finally choose to leave the virtual world? Will he return to the real world?
Speaking from his heart, if Cheng Guochao had the same ability as Truman, there was a high probability that he would not choose to leave the virtual world.
And Truman also has a natural good excuse, that is, this world is the world he has lived in since childhood, and in his eyes, this is the real world.
"Shhh
Cheng Guochao gasped, he now feels more and more that this film is testing human nature, putting all the temptations in front of Truman, and even finding excuses for him to make a choice.
I don't know why, Cheng Guochao suddenly feels a little distressed now, and feels distressed for the virtual character of Truman.
When he felt like this, he was stunned for a moment, he is a senior director, when did he feel like this?
As a director, he needs to stand on a high ground to grasp the overall situation, and now he actually feels a little distressed for a fictional character.
Suddenly, Cheng Guochao sighed: "Xu Shi, I feel that it is best for you not to go out after filming this film, I am afraid that you will be beaten to death." ”
Indeed, even he, as a senior director, has such a mentality, let alone those audiences.
If you know that these are all planned and arranged by Xu Shi for 'Truman' alone, some viewers with a deep sense of substitution will definitely hate Xu Shi for Truman.
Cheng Guochao could have imagined that after the release of this movie, Xu Shi may become the target of everyone's shouting.
What's more critical is that Cheng Guochao thought of the current evaluation of this movie on the Internet, which is basically a warm and loving action movie.
But if they go to the movies with this mentality, then Cheng Guochao won't dare to imagine the consequences.
Xu Shi smiled and said: "It's okay, the audience is not as irrational as you think, I just want to make a good movie, they will understand." ”
"Huh. Cheng Guochao could only give Xu Shi this, he felt that this was completely Xu Shi's self-comfort.
In the past two days, Xu Shi has re-filmed the previous scenes, so the scenes that are being filmed now are to continue shooting.
Now Xu Shi and they are going to finish filming all the scenes of Truman in 'Xanadu', and then move on to other places.
.................
Zhai Meirong plays Truman's mother in the virtual world, and her name is not arranged in the play.
Zhai Meirong sometimes wonders, does Xu Shi also imply that this is also a common problem for most mothers in the world, wanting to control everything about their children?
During the time when Xu Shi left the group, Zhai Meirong was also studying the script in detail, and the more carefully she figured it out, the more depressed Zhai Meirong's heart became.
Especially some time ago, she went to shoot some scenes in the 'real world'.
In the real world in the play, she also has a husband, a son, a daughter, and everything she should have in reality.
And in the face of children in reality, she needs to show a truly amiable appearance, the kind that does not require a trace of pretentiousness.
What she needs to show is the kind side of Truman's 'mother' in the real world.
She relied on Truman and lived a life of superiority in the real world, living in a big house, and her son and daughter lived a prosperous life.
But it all depends on Truman.
So when facing Truman, her smile needs to be changed, which is different from the smile of facing real children in the 'real world'.
Such a small difference requires extremely high acting skills to express, and originally Zhai Meirong took over the role of Xu Shi's movie largely because of the excellence of the script, not her role.
But now she feels that she has been deeply attracted to this role, not the connotation of the role, but the acting skills required.
According to her own inner thoughts, in fact, she doesn't like this character at all, especially when facing her family members in the 'real world', she always has a feeling that her smile in the 'real world' is very hideous.
...............
Truman took his wife Qin Xiaolan to his mother's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he ran to his mother like a child.
"Mom, are you back from your trip???Is it fun?" The smile on Truman's face was sincere and bright, he was happy for his mother to go out to play, and he wanted her to be happy every day.
............
"Okay!" Cheng Guochao couldn't help but whisper as he stood behind Zhang Kui, Xu Shi's current state is really good, sunny and brilliant, simple and beautiful.
It seems that just this smile can make people think of all the good things in the world, and the world is so clean and pure in this smile!
Zhang Kui didn't speak, the whole person stared at the monitor, he wanted this scene to stay on the screen, so there must be no mistakes.
And Cheng Guochao may not have undertaken the task of directing, so he slowly began to wander when he looked at the monitor.
He thought about the whole script, and then looked at the smile of 'Truman', and suddenly there was a dazzling feeling.
.......................
The mother played by Zhai Meirong travels every month, which is a holiday specially arranged for her by Skynet.
After seeing Truman, Zhai Meirong's originally calm face suddenly showed a smile, this smile was very sudden, it seemed to be an instinctive reaction, and there were some differences between her in the 'real world', but Truman didn't see this scene.
With just a smile, Zhai Meirong distinguishes the virtual world from the real world, which is the ability of an old actor.
"Very good, the place to play this time is very good, how about we go to play together as a family when you have time?" Zhai Meirong said with a smile.
In fact, she didn't have a good time back in the real world this time, it seems that she hasn't been with her family for a long time, her family's attitude towards her is not very good, and her children don't want to talk to her about anything other than the topic of Truman except for asking her for money.
Every time the children talk to her, they either ask for money or talk about Truman, and they want to get first-hand information about Truman from their mother, something that they can't see on TV, so that they can have more face in front of their friends.
When Truman heard his mother's words, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Okay, but I still need to work, Mom, when I earn enough money, we will travel together as a family, I have thought about it, and I will ......... then"
Truman began to talk about his plans, and all the plans were beautiful, especially what he said, it was all about his wife and mother, and everything he thought about was about them.
This scene is in stark contrast to Zhai Meirong in the real world, a person she regards as a tool, a person she never really cares about, and a person who has no blood connection with her.
has always put her first in her heart, and the people she really cares about, the people who are really connected by blood, never care about her.
This seems to be an extremely strong irony again!
What's even more ironic is that Zhai Meirong won't feel guilty for Truman's concern for her!
"Okay, by the way, I heard Xiaolan say that you have a physical condition?how is it?, what did the doctor say?" Zhai Meirong asked with a 'concern' on her face.
.................
When they saw this scene, Zhang Kui and Cheng Guochao, who had seen Zhai Meirong's filming of the plot in the real world, couldn't help but applaud again.
This scene coincides with a scene in the real world again, this time Zhai Meirong returned to the real world, her son was also sick and went to the doctor, and she asked the same question at that time, but her tone and face were all different.
It can be seen at a glance that Zhai Meirong's inquiry is full of professionalism, and the comparison between the two sides shows the gap, and there is a strong sense of conflict.
And Truman's answer is completely different from Zhai Meirong's son's answer in the real world.
"Mom, I'm fine, the doctor said that I was too tired from work during this time, just take a little rest, you can rest assured, by the way, you haven't done your physical examination today, right? I will accompany you to the hospital in two days." Truman first briefly talked about his situation, and then he cared about his mother's body again.
In the real world, Zhai Meirong's son's reply is like this.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it!"
It is these simple four words, full of impatience and alienation, and Truman forms two extremes.
Zhai Meirong didn't seem to feel this sense of disparity at all, because in her eyes, Truman was just a tool, and she didn't need to be moved by Truman's concern.
"That's okay, I'll go brew you a XXX brand decoction, which can replenish your spirit. This time, Zhai Meirong's smile became more natural and brighter than when she talked to Truman.
This is different from Qin Xiaolan, Qin Xiaolan's smile is professional when she broadcasts commercials, which is one of her professions.
But Zhai Meirong's side is an income that represents money, and the two sides have different ideas.
Monetary income can make her and her real family live a better life, so her smile is extraordinarily bright.
Truman has long been accustomed to the words of these people, and sometimes he will do it along, which is a habit he has developed since childhood.
Truman had a hearty dinner at his mother's house, and then took his mother and wife out for a walk.
Originally, her mother didn't want to go, she was too lazy to move around, but Truman was very persistent, saying good things and being coquettish, so that she could exercise more, which would be good for her body.
While walking, Truman encountered all kinds of things again, just like a stranger who came over to greet him excitedly just now, and called out his name directly.
Seeing him was as exciting as seeing a big star.
However, before Truman could ask clearly, someone took this person away, saying that he had escaped from a mental hospital.
"By the way, tomorrow you have a cousin who is coming to our house to play, and then you can come over and see you. Mother said suddenly.
Truman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Which cousin?
Mom, I've wanted to ask for a long time, how many relatives do we have, I've seen more than thirty or fifty of them over the years, and most of them don't come once they come. ”
"It's all some relatives, come over here to have a look, you just remember to come over. Mother didn't want to say anything more.
