"It's definitely zombies." Lin Zhiling protested in the sweet and greasy Taiwanese accent next to her, wanting to grab the small blackboard to change the answer, but was held down by Li Xiaole with one hand, turned her head and looked at her speechlessly: "This is the beginning of the plot of the second act, of course there must be new characters, you don't understand this simple truth, you still want to be an actor?" ”

"I ......" Lin Zhiling was stunned by what he said, so she could only let go of her hand, but she still felt that it should be a zombie.

"Roar~ I'm afraid half of them will be eliminated this time, let's see the answer." Quentin Tarantino finished speaking, and the big screen continued to play the plot, and sure enough, the elevator door opened, and three supermarket security guards with guns appeared.

The 4 contestants could only sigh and walked off the stage in disappointment, Lin Zhiling couldn't help but look at Li Xiaole with some embarrassment, but found that he was not a little proud, just very intoxicated watching the big screen and enjoying the movie.

Then one question after another arose.

"May I ask what happened to the back of the main character with a gun pointed at the security guard?"

"How did they get to the musket shop across the street from the supermarket to refill their ammunition?"

"What do zombies do to pet dogs?"

"Did the man who had a crush on the nurse get on board? How did it end? ”

"How many people in Zuihou survived?"

After a series of more than ten questions, two more groups of the remaining four groups of people were eliminated, and Zuihou was left with only the legendary Coen brothers in the independent film industry and Lin Zhiling and Li Xiaole's group of competition, both groups of people looked at each other and smiled kindly, obviously the directors on this occasion are mainly looking for a fun pastime, and no one really has a competitive mentality.

At this time, the movie screen stopped again, and Quentin Tarantino stood up and looked at the two groups of people, shook his head and sighed:

"I didn't expect that there would be two groups of people who stayed until now, and I noticed that there was another group of people who filled in the answers almost without thinking about answering the questions, and I wanted to ask him a question." Saying that, Quentin Tarantino walked to Li Xiaole's side, pointed the microphone at him and asked in a skeptical tone: "Excuse me, this gentleman, do you know someone from the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead"?" ”

"I don't know, I'm just guessing." Li Xiaole looked at the hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience, and could only answer with a wry smile, what can he say, say that he has seen it in his last life? I'm afraid that no one will believe this big truth.

"Well, I believe this Japanese kid of ours isn't telling the truth~" Quentin Tarantino shook his finger and said dissatisfiedly: "Let's continue watching, zuihou a question, what is the ending of the film?" ”

Everyone at the scene laughed, what can be the ending of a commercial film, of course, the 4 people of Zuihou have survived and lived on the island.

The Coen brothers glanced at each other, and also made a helpless shrug of their shoulders, saying that they didn't understand what to guess about this question, the iron law of this commercial movie, let people survive to make a sequel, no one is stupid enough to cut off their own back road, and also filled in: "Zuihou 4 people survived on the island, and this island is a paradise for human Zuihou." ”

"What's the end?" Lin Zhiling looked at Li Xiaole curiously.

She has been staying by Li Xiaole's side, and she has found out from the beginning that this student-like Chinese compatriot answers almost every question of Quentin Tarantino without hesitation, and after continuing to play the film and learning that he is correct, he does not have any happy expression on his face, as if he has known it for a long time, so Lin Zhiling, like Quentin Tarantino, decided that this kid had watched this movie at all.

Li Xiaole lowered his head and calmly filled in the ending, put the small blackboard in front of everyone, and watched him write on the big screen: "The island was finally infected by zombies, and humans have nowhere to stay." Immediately burst into laughter, thinking, this Japanese is really a bit psychopathic, how can he come up with such a desperate plot. Are you sure? Quentin Tarantino put away his smile for the first time, and looked at Li Xiaole with a strange expression on his concave face.

"I'm sure." Li Xiaole nodded faintly, this time even the Coen brothers showed excited expressions, and their eyes began to stare at the "Star Wars" laser sword, as if they felt that they had won.

"Let's see the results." Quentin Tarantino gestures, and the film continues.

The plot on the big screen is the same as everyone imagined, after going through hardships, the 4 protagonists are finally equal to landing on the island, and this little bird is quiet and serene, rich in resources, in the sunset, in the beautiful seascape, sure enough~~ The suffocating plot is finally over, and the film returns to the peaceful and quiet countryside at the beginning, and the subtitles slowly rise.

Everyone couldn't help but applaud, this is the horror film that the audience likes to see, struggling in despair to usher in the dawn.

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit." Lin Zhiling sighed in her eyes, but thinking that she had already shown her face on the big screen just now, she felt that her goal had been achieved, and looked at Li Xiaole and comforted: "Li Haiping, it doesn't matter if you can't get the prize, you are really great, come on~~ This time, if you are doing me a great favor, I will invite you to dinner tomorrow as compensation for you." ”

She is a person who doesn't like to be close to people very much, and is used to maintaining a certain sense of distance, but she doesn't know that Weishenme wants to talk to this mainland child who can see through her mind at a glance, and she has a feeling that this Li Haiping knows her very well.

"I'm afraid I don't have this time~" Li Xiaole said with an embarrassed expression, pricking Lin Zhiling's nerves again, didn't she say that she was a fan......? Don't you really say that you are his fairy sister, why is this little pot friend like this, do I make you so embarrassed when I invite you to dinner?

Just when everyone thought the movie was over, suddenly in the subtitles, the camera began to be switched, and fragmentary shots appeared, the protagonists leisurely enjoyed life on the yacht, but were surprised to find zombies floating in the sea, and then the entire yacht was infected, and the protagonist burned the yacht with a flamethrower.

And when the next shot cuts over, everyone is stunned, there are zombies on the whole island, more and more people are killed, zuihou a shot, all the zombies pounce towards the only two protagonists left, and in the protagonist's loud shouting, the big screen suddenly goes black......

Everyone was suddenly shocked, their breathing seemed to stop, and they collectively fell into a deep silence...... Finale...... How could this be......

"You guessed it~! Li Haiping, you guessed it right~~! Lin Zhiling looked at the screen in surprise, and excitedly took Li Xiaole's hand and shouted.

"Congratulations, someone finally won in the 'guess the plot' link~" Quentin Tarantino walked over with a strange expression with a laser machine, and lowered his head to ask Li Xiaole and Lin Zhiling's names. "Excuse me, what are your names and where are you from?"

"My name is Li Haiping, I am from Chu and Zhejiang, this is Lin Zhiling, I am Taiwanese, and I am an actor." Li Xiaole took the microphone and introduced himself first, before turning his head to Quentin Tarantino and saying:

"I want to explain to Quentin here, I'm from China, not Japanese, am I that short?" Li Xiaole made a gesture on his waist, which caused everyone to laugh.

"Well, when I go home at night, I'll definitely go and beat up that bastard who told me that Chinese don't like crowding people." Quentin Tarantino said with great embarrassment, and then handed the microphone to Li Xiaole's mouth with a serious expression:

"Excuse me, Mr. Li Haiping, can you tell me, can you guess that there will be such an ending after the subtitles? On what basis? ”

Many directors in the audience, including the Coen brothers, looked at him curiously, looking forward to his answer, but most of them were very contemptuous, thinking that Li Xiaole must know someone from the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead".

"Actually, the reason is very simple." Li Xiaole didn't know what to say to explain, so he could only hold the microphone and analyze it from his own perspective:

"This kind of easter egg horror continuation technique, in traditional horror films, we usually have to let good people stay and give people hope, but this is too natural and can't surprise the audience, so there is an ending technique like "Death is Coming" that directly makes the protagonist die at the end and shocks the audience, but this technique is not clever, which will affect the mood of the viewer......"

Li Xiaole said that there was a sudden pause here, and he turned his head to look at the big screen:

"Compared to Zack Snyder, the director of "Dawn of the Living Dead", he is much more clever, he found a new rhythm in addition to the twelve rhythms in the "Save the Cat" script arrangement, called the easter egg rhythm."

Easter egg rhythm? All the directors in the audience know the epoch-making movie script rhythm classification of 'Save the Cat', everyone has a book under the pillow in everyone's bookcase, everyone can memorize this great twelve rhythms backwards, but no one has ever heard of it, in addition to the twelve rhythms, there is a new rhythm!? This Chinese kid must be talking about it!?

"Can you tell me what Easter egg rhythm means?" As the president of the Cannes jury, Quentin Tarantino asked curiously:

"It's simple." Li Xiaole looked at the people below and said with a flat expression: "The so-called easter egg rhythm is the rhythm after the subtitles are outside the plot of the whole movie, which can not only derive the clues of the sequel, but also launch a real hidden ending, creating a new suspense, which makes people unsatisfied." ”
