"What is the reason for the memory that you wish you would never recall, and what must you keep it firmly in the deepest part of your heart?"

There is actually no standard answer to this question that the movie needs to give.

What the audience needs is a logical utility.

And the answer given by Li Mo is: "The crimes that have been committed." ”

"Crime?"

"Yes," Li Mo continued to talk in the small conference room, "Only because I know that I am guilty, but I can't bear the punishment of the crime, I want to escape." Deleting one's own memories and letting oneself forget everything is an escape from the past. ”

"To sum it up: the murderous intent caused by betrayal, the torture after murder. ”

Li Mo's plan is to bury another dark line in the process of solving the mystery of the current plot to explain the cause of the whole incident - Xu Ruining, Xu Ruining's girlfriend, Ren Xiaoyan (Gu Jie), Ren Xiaoyan's boyfriend, the relationship between these four people is not as warm and affectionate as the movie shows.

Ren Xiaoyan is indeed an orphan, and her and her boyfriend's respective identities and acquaintance process are indeed the same as originally set, but because Ren Xiaoyan was adopted twice when she was young, she has a strong sense of resistance to the act of 'abandonment';

(PS: For the orphan Ren Xiaoyan, she was abandoned by her parents for the first time when she was born, and her first adoptive parents faked her death and abandoned her for the second time.) ）

Although Xu Ruining does not have the shadow of his childhood like Ren Xiaoyan, the smooth process from childhood to adulthood has cultivated his conceited personality to the extreme, this is an extreme perfectionist, who can accept destruction, but does not accept failure;

Therefore, between Xu Ruining and Ren Xiaoyan, in addition to the friendship of classmates, Xu Ruining also regards him as his only opponent.

And in the process of these four people getting to know and getting along, Xu Ruining's girlfriend and Ren Xiaoyan's boyfriend betrayed Xu Ruining and Ren Xiaoyan respectively and developed a secret relationship.

Ren Xiaoyan is particularly sensitive to the 'abandonment' of this kind of thing due to the shadow of her childhood, when she found out that she was betrayed by her boyfriend, and her boyfriend had plans to break up with her, in order not to let herself be 'abandoned' again, Ren Xiaoyan had murderous intent towards her boyfriend, in her opinion, she would rather her boyfriend die than accept the result of 'being abandoned' for the third time.

And Xu Ruining, under Ren Xiaoyan's notification, also confirmed his girlfriend's betrayal......

So two frustrated high-IQ psychologists, using hypnosis, created a perfect crime and successfully escaped responsibility.

In the time after his success, Xu Ruining was not as calm as Ren Xiaoyan, he couldn't bear the inner torture, and gradually began to collapse.

In order to escape the inner torment, he hypnotized himself and made up new memories, hoping that he would forget the sins he had committed, but he only remembered the mutual love between himself and his girlfriend and forgot the identity of one of his murderers.

In this superimposed state of mind, it is logical that Ren Xiaoyan would accept Professor Fang's invitation so easily:

If this treatment is successful, Ren Xiaoyan will simply let Xu Ruining let go of the guilt in his heart and make him completely relieved.

If this treatment fails, Xu Ruining remembers all the truth, and Ren Xiaoyan will take action to kill him.

………………

After listening to Li Mo's idea, there was a strange silence in the small conference room, whether it was the person in charge of the behind-the-scenes team or the two leading actors, and even Xu Zheng, everyone's brains were running at high speed to digest the ideas put forward by Li Mo.

After a while, it was Lei Jiayin who spoke first.

"Director Li, with this change, can the problem just raised be solved? ”

"You and Sister Qian have been studying the script for so long, and suddenly you found that there is another side behind the characters you created, and it's normal to be a little messy, let's talk about them one by one. ”

Li Mo understands Lei Jiayin's current state very well, and when he talks about the reversal of his new design, he is also ready to answer questions.

"After Xu Ruining caused a traffic accident, why wasn't he punished for drunk driving?"

Because he was not drunk at all, the traffic accident was the result of Ren Xiaoyan's sober hypnosis, and in the eyes of the police, he was just an ordinary improper operation. ”

"Why is it that only Xu Ruining swam out of the water after the car entered the water, and the other two people were trapped in the car?"

"Ren Xiaoyan's boyfriend was really drunk and didn't wake up at all in the back of the car, as for Xu Ruining's girlfriend," Li Mo sorted out his thoughts a little and continued to answer, "When Xu Ruining escaped from the car, his girlfriend was still alive, but he gave up the rescue at that time, which is also where Xu Ruining was really tormented later - in the whole incident, he was just an executor, so he didn't have such a strong psychological quality." ”

"Why did Ren Xiaoyan hypnotize Xu Ruining when they first met, so that he could forget his past impression of Gu Jie?"

In fact, before Ren Xiaoyan met Xu Ruining, she already knew that the other party didn't remember everyone and things except her girlfriend, so in fact, at that time, she was just making a show, and she didn't hypnotize Xu Ruining at all. ”

"And ......"

…………

Half an hour later, everyone in the conference room had basically agreed and decided to add some new shots on the basis of the current script for post-editing to express the hidden plot behind the scenes.

Since the newly added plot will inevitably involve the revision of the script, after in-depth communication with the behind-the-scenes team, Li Mo decided to suspend the filming of the crew of "Hypnosis Master" for three days.

In the past three days, Li Mo needs to add the new plot to the actors' scripts and distribute them to all the relevant actors.

This plot mainly takes place between Xu Ruining, Xu Ruining's girlfriend, Ren Xiaoyan, and Ren Xiaoyan's boyfriend, the two supporting roles are okay, how can Lei Jiayin and Wan Qian also need a few days to re-excavate the characters they have created.

Fortunately, Li Mo proposed to supplement the plot at this stage, if he found out at the end of all the scenes, maybe he would have to reconvene the crew for reshooting.

In addition to the actors, the various departments of the backstage team also needed to evaluate the workload in light of the new story.

Fortunately, the crew has been running so far, and everyone has basically recognized Li Mo's authority on the set, coupled with the support of 'producer' Xu Zheng, even if the extra workload brought about by the revision of the script, not many people have any complaints about it.

Three days later, the crew returned to work, and the movie "Master of Hypnosis" has since embarked on a completely different path from Li Mo's memories in his previous life.
