Chapter 82: Finished

With Luna's strong suggestion, Theolod still visited the doctor he had made an appointment with on the weekend. The doctor looked at his injuries and told him that the wound was not infected, but because the stitches were removed in advance, and the bandaging was not professional, the scar may be more obvious in the future, and if he minded, he could have a laser scar removal surgery in the future. As for the injury to his bones, it was not a big problem, and it could be removed if he insisted on wearing the brace for another four weeks for the sake of safety.

It was completely harmless, and Theolod was relieved, after all, he didn't want this injury to accompany him for the rest of his life.

Filming is going on day by day, and the plot of the script is gradually improving.

Alex left the footage of the final battle between John and the alien in the middle of the filming, and this part was almost all done in the green screen state, for which Theolod was also hung on Wia for almost a whole day, and the actor of K, Ian Richardson, who played opposite him, is a sixty-three-year-old man, of course, Alex couldn't let him hang himself on Wia for a day, so most of his shots were done by stand-ins throughout the day.

When Theolod was put down from Wia, his back hurt so much that he could barely straighten his back, which also reminded him of the experience of hanging himself for several days in a row in his previous life. Fortunately, after the end of this day, there is no plot that can be used by Weiya, in fact, he only has two more literary emotional scenes left.

One is the final confrontation between John and Mr. Hand after John's victory, and the reunion between John and the amnesiac Emma played by Theolod during the interview.

In order to find John, who had been on the run, Mr. Hand chose to inject John's previous memories through Guò to find clues to John's every behavior—the memories of the aliens that the aliens believed to be humans, creating a unique human entity—which might have killed him.

These aliens are a group of symbiotic beings with collective memories, and it is the monotony of their race that makes them gradually disappear, so they figure out how to find a way to save the race by studying humans. They have always thought that memory makes everyone different, and they have been using memory to make real yàn to the humans they captured, and the results of real yàn seem to prove this again. However, when they choose to inject the memories of their creation into themselves, those memories become the □□ that kill them.

But Mr. Hand miraculously survived, with memories that John shared with him, but John had long forgotten. This memory keeps him in pursuit of John, and eventually, he is caught at the wall of "Shell Beach" at the end of the city and tied him back to his home base.

The aliens wanted to use John, the alien and evolutionary of the human experiment, to inject him with their common memories, and use him to get symbiosis and reproduce smoothly, but they didn't expect that the human doctor they caught, on the way, changed the memory potion, and he incorporated everything he knew about the ability into the potion and injected it into John's brain, so that John began to learn to control the ability "from a young age".

In the end, John used the symbiosis of the collective memory of the alien race to eliminate all the aliens, except for Mr. Hand, who survived the alien race that had become isolated due to the injection of "human memory". And in the end, John appeared in front of John when he used the power of the alien race to change the city and went to Shell Beach again.

John ...... I've been waiting for you......" Mr. Hand appeared in front of John very weakly, the vague voice like the fluttering throat when he exhaled, like his body, gradually dying and dissipating. With his voice alone capturing the loneliness of a dying racial loner, Richard O'Brien's performance has reached a point of incredibleness, "What did you do......?"

"What did I do?" John stopped when asked about the question, and when asked by Mr. Hand in the script, he was transforming the real yàn chamber floating in the universe. For some reason, John looked down and smiled, as if he didn't think the question was worth mentioning, "I just made a small change, it doesn't matter......"

There was a pause in John's voice, he turned sideways and looked at Mr. Hand, who was as thin as paper, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were extremely calm: "The important thing is, do you remember what you did?"

Theolod likes to play freely is not a day or two, he always likes to suddenly make people shine when he is acting well, after nearly two months of running-in, the crew whether it is the director or the actors, is very aware of this, not to mention that Richard's adaptability is very good, of course he will not be at a loss when he finds that the lines and the script are different like some newcomers.

"I did what I should have done and I needed to do, and you, are you sure you're doing what 'we' need......? I'm dying......" he said, and the script of being dragged away by Theorod was rounded back, but Theorod, a "rebellious" kid, would definitely not be to his liking.

"'We'?" the title in the script's lines made John's eyes squint slightly, and the final battle not only gave him the power of being as powerful as the creator god, but also made him see a lot of things clearly. And the look on his face, I couldn't tell whether it was indifference or mockery, or just a kind of pity for the sober to the confused, in short, he smiled shallowly, the eyes that were obscure in the darkness, like the eyes of a falcon.

"The alien race has been searching for ways to make humans unique, believing that memories affect the soul, but the so-called ethereal 'soul' that they have been exploring for a long time may just be what humans call their nature. I think we should also think about what makes 'we' so special, and hopefully you can come up with the answer before you die. ”

After John had said these words in a bland tone, he turned around, left his back to Mr. Hand, and walked to the end of the aisle, not giving anyone behind him a chance to speak.

In fact, Mr. Hand had no intention of speaking, and John's words plunged him into complete silence, and at that moment, he may have realized something, or he was simply confused by the profound words of the other party.

Not only did Mr. Hand fall silent, but Richard also fell into deep thought. He thinks that he has a thorough understanding of this character tailored for himself, but every time he plays with Theorod, he finds that his understanding of the character, the race, and the macro structure is not as deep as he imagined.

The word "we" is such a good word, it already says a qiē.

John understands the symbiosis of these alien creatures that live in the brains of the dead, and their singularity leaves them without any arguments, wars, preferences, unique personal memories, or even loved ones, to the point of gradual extinction.

But in these groups that are so ordinary that they don't have any personality traits, an outlier suddenly appears, an outlier who shares his "memory".

Memories beget memories, memories lead to thinking, thinking produces thinking, thinking breeds individuality, personality shapes individuality, individual is independent of the whole, and the individual creates the whole. In fact, when Mr. Hand chose to implant John's "memory" and recall his life according to his "memory", in that constant analysis and thinking, he was already unique to his species.

He was more cunning and intelligent than the rest of his species, and he experienced the love that belonged to humanity in John's "memory", he experienced anger, he experienced sadness, he experienced resentment...... Under the influence of this kind of qiē, Mr. Hand will brutally kill the call girl who had helped John in the way before John's "amnesia".

He became the murderer John had become before, but there was still a good side to these memories, childhood seaside memories, Shell Beach.

Shell Beach, Shell Beach again, Alex remembers that when Theolod and he analyzed the character before, he clearly pointed out what Shell Beach symbolized, it represents a sense of belonging to home, a kind of free consciousness, and this consciousness will of course affect Mr. Hand.

Memory is not the only thing that makes a person unique, but it is indispensable, and the influence of the living environment, the integration of various emotions, and so on, create an individual with a different sense of free thinking.

Watching John and the amnesiac Emma reunite at the beach, and looking at the genius who almost said "sure" with a "no" look on camera, Alex once again thinks that his choice of Theolod as his male protagonist is simply the most correct decision he has made in his life.

How many actors in this world can keenly grasp the deeper things behind the script under the framework given by the script, and sublimate it into their acting skills, expressing the profound connotations that no one wants to listen to or see, in the form of a performance, although they do not mention any philosophical issues or any relevant lines, but can still make others fall into contemplation after watching it?

This child can no longer be described by the word genius, genius is just to describe a particularly good ordinary person, and this child, who is only nineteen years old this year, was almost born from performance.

Seeing the look of doubt and surprise flashing on Jennifer's face in the camera, Alex clapped his hands and threatened everyone with a straight face - "It's the last scene! The last line! A few shots! It's Friday, and you can't shoot it today, do you want to delay it until next Monday? Anyway, I don't want to stay in Australia to blow the cold wind, don't even think about being lazy and cutting corners! Again, if you don't finish filming today, don't think about going back to the hotel!"

Of course, anyone knows that this fierce director is actually in a very good mood, as can be seen from his narrowed eyes, but these part-time workers are not so unsightly and dare to run into the muzzle of this fat man's gun, plus the Sydney beach in winter is sunny but still cold and biting, so they immediately raised their energy and hurried to work.

At Alex's urging, the crew finally killed Qing when the sun was setting.

After a day's rest, the crew left for China on Sunday.

After returning to China, a bunch of publicity tasks came to Theorod, who was filming before and had no time to take care of the publicity work of "Devil's Advocate", which naturally pressed on Pacino and Theron, and now that Theorod's schedule is vacant, of course they will not let him have a good time.

"Soul City" was completed on September 20, and "Devil's Advocate" was scheduled for October 23, and there was still a month before the movie was released.

Of course, in the meantime, Theolod had to prepare for his new role.

'I know it's inhumane to put you to work right after you've flown back from Sydney, but it's an Anthony Minghella movie! Do you know Anthony Minghella? Anthony Minghella, who just won the Academy Award for Best Director this year because of The English Patient! I've always heard that he's working on his new film, so I fought for you, and I thought I would have to do a few more jobs, but he quickly told me that he was interested in you too. ’

Marshall on the other end of the line sounded very happy, as if the person who was favored by Anthony Minghella was himself. As soon as Theolod got off the plane, he got into Herman's car to meet him, and took the details of the itinerary for the next month handed by Nattle, and he didn't sigh much that this kid's rapid progress The itinerary was from the hands of professionals at a glance, and the various matters were even specific to the clothing construction of the day's activities, and the mobile phone ringtone interrupted his action of opening the itinerary, and the person who came was Marshall.

Of course, I only have the right to build yì, after all, you only know about the characters and the script when you meet with director Minghella, and the filmmakers are very tight about this new film. If you're not interested, or if you want to take a break for a few months, that's fine, but you'll have to give me a specific answer on the day you return from Germany. ’

Theolod thought for a moment: "You haven't even revealed the general situation of the film?"

'Drama, thriller, crime - if those three words work for you. ’

"It's another familiar subject, it looks like I'll have to think about it, don't worry, I'll give you an answer before I get back. Theolod rubbed his temples as he spoke, the two effects of a long-haul flight are always unavoidable, one is a headache, and the other is sore eyes.

The next second Theorod hung up the phone, a bottle of eye drops appeared in front of his eyes. Theorod looked at the people around him and smiled, "Thank you, Nat." ”
