Chapter 374: Fight Wisely

"Last night's citywide power outage sparked panic riots among the population, and many shops reported varying degrees of property damage due to the power outage during the evening rush hour......

After Parvati's surprised expression, the camera pans out of the car, back and forth on the highway according to the traffic, accompanied by a somewhat poetic male voice, which evokes the feeling that a potentially genocidal drug has been invented and could enter mass production at any time, but the world still knows nothing. This can't help but make most viewers with basic common sense feel that they have been touched - of course, the situation in the movie must be exaggerated, but in reality, it is still common for large companies to play with law and politics in applause, and even if it is substituted for the real situation, the audience also found that Kelly is actually very out of control and powerless for the current situation, and no one can compete with such a multinational consortium, which also makes the audience more worried about Kelly, I want to know what she's going to do about it.

"In this regard, "Codename Shero" does a really good job, and their crisis creation can really make the audience feel desperate, instead of far-fetched challenging the audience's IQ, forcibly creating a villain with no IQ and a cannon fodder government with even less intelligence, which will make people unconsciously reduce their sense of engagement - of course, if they are too mentally retarded, the audience may also go directly to the play...... "Alain. Morrison's expectations for the movie are now getting higher and higher, "The martial arts fight just now is handled very well, and it is as wonderful as possible within the scope of the character's ability - now it should be a literary drama, the interaction between Kelly and Tom, Tom is the villain? Whether it's or not, there should be a collision of ideas between the good and the bad, and the protagonist's issue should be as violent as possible. Exposed, well, judging from the previous foreshadowing, the problem that Kelly has to overcome in the first part should be her sense of responsibility to society? A sense of social identity? If Spider-Man was reluctant to be a superhero because he didn't feel he was so capable, then Kelly should now be dealing with the fact that she doesn't feel like she belongs to the general public - or the lower classes...... Is she willing to sacrifice herself for them? With no superpowers and no huge wealth, it's certainly unrealistic to go against an enemy of Wellington's size......"

Alain's 'protagonist's problem' is also a necessary theme for a superhero movie - like a formula, all superhero movies in Hollywood must have problems with the hero's design in the film - low - growth - high. tide, and 'grow up after self-cultivation, overcome difficulties, and finally explode combat power to defeat the boss', this is an ending that has been accepted by everyone, and it belongs to the point that you must not turn your back, so before that, in order to create a necessity for self-cultivation, set up various difficulties in combat power and spirituality, which has also become a necessary job for screenwriters. So for film critics, a superhero movie is like a hamburger, and the two sides of the bun and the meatloaf are definitely wanted, and what they want to taste is whether the bread is fresh and whether the meatloaf is juicy. And "Codename Shero" is obviously very good in this regard, so Alain can't help but look forward to the cliché structure after this. "If it's this movie, it should be able to do something new......"

Coincidentally, when the plot entered Kodaka. When the adjustment point after the tide, Charles also took a sip of Coke and thought about the combat power setting of this movie, "Will the enemy that Kelly has to face be too difficult?" She'll still get superpowers later, right? Damn, unlike ordinary manga movies, the publicity of this movie is too low-key, and there are only a few trailers, and I don't even know whether she is a technological hero or a transformation department...... Her combat power has improved significantly after that, so she should still be transformed, right? If it hadn't been transformed, Wellington's opponent would have been a bit too strong to conform to the conventions of comics. ”

Generally speaking, what kind of hero there is, what kind of villain - if you want to fight against this kind of global consortium, either you are also the owner of the global consortium, or you have to be an alien prince like Superman, and the comics are actually very particular about the right people, and will not arrange villains beyond the ability of the heroes. Otherwise, the story is very likely to find the right pace of advancement - this unspoken rule has always been known to comic fans, Charles is now a little worried that J.J doesn't know this, Kelly's combat power and the Wellington consortium are not balanced, making everything too tragic, and returning to the old path of 'sacrificing himself and his family to stop everything', and because he has a good impression of Kelly's family, and it is not like the death of Uncle Spider-Man, there are years of comic foreshadowing, so it is difficult to accept as long as the thought of this possibility is difficult.

"This spirit of self-sacrifice is not cool anymore." He muttered to himself, "You have to get the cool right now, please, don't ruin my favorite movie, J.J!" ”

Before he knew it, Codename Shero had (probably temporarily) risen to the top of his list of favorites......

When the old audience in the theater was busy deducing the direction of the plot, on the big screen, Kelly seemed to be confused - the radio was introducing last night's power outage, and changed into her daily clothes, and Kelly, whose blonde hair was casually tied behind her head, also drove the car into the parking space, she did not get out of the car immediately, but sat in the car, staring at the steering wheel, pursing her lips, and tapping the edge of the steering wheel with her hands quickly - this is the action she is used to when thinking, and after a while, Kelly's mobile phone also rang, and she took out the transparent panel, Above is Parvati's text message.

"Have you figured out what to do?" Parvati sent a worried look after the text.

With a sigh, Kelly replied, "No, it seems to be over our level, but I'm not sure who can be trusted." ”

"Me too." Parvati said, and she sent another look of frustration, "At least I know that the government must not be trusted, and Wellington should have taken care of the top management." ”

Well, it seems that the government really can't believe it, how can two people go against a big company? Kelly sighed and sent a message back, 'Tonight with Tom. Dinner at Wellington to see if we could get more news, maybe it wasn't what we thought it would be,' and got out of the car and walked to the office building.

‘wait,what? Parvati immediately started a text bombardment, 'That Tom. Wellington? Tom of the Wellington Consortium. Wellington? It's not a date, is it? Oh, please, Kelly, don't tell me you're going to go over in jeans......'

Changing into a white lab coat and passing through the disinfection room, Kelly walked into the laboratory and walked to the surviving guinea pigs, "Kevin, last night's power outage didn't affect the mice, right?" ”

"The accident did not affect the park." Kevin said casually, "Last night was enough, wasn't it?" ”

"yes," Kelly said casually, "but luckily I was home at the time, and I heard on the news that there was a riot in the streets. ”

She looked at the glass pane beside her again, and stumbled upon Glenn standing in the reflection staring at her not far away, as if listening to their conversation.

There was a sudden pause in the background sound, and the 'world in Kelly' resurfaced, and with the effect sound of the VCR rewinding, everything seemed to suddenly go back to yesterday morning, when Kelly bent down to look at the rat, she straightened up and inadvertently glanced out the window, and the 'memory' paused at this time, as if the pause button had been pressed, and the small window was constantly widened and widened, and the appearance of Glenn and Tom talking entered the audience's eyes, and then everything accelerated back to the present - Kelly blinked, Her expression still hadn't changed much, and she still had that somewhat serious geek tone, "It's a pity that I just bought the manga, and I wanted to enjoy it." ”

"Oh, I didn't know you like to read comics too!" Kevin, who looked like an otaku, with a big nose and pimples, said in surprise, "Do you like Spider-Man, or Superman?" Don't tell me you like Iron Man, then I'll have to think of you as a newcomer to the movie - but I have to say, that movie is pretty good-"

There was a soft laugh in the cinema, this time, most of the audience hall just smiled knowingly, while the acquaintances in the main hall laughed: just joke about "Iron Man", as a movie of the same genre, "Codename SHERO" is really bold and really good at playing.

Amid the laughter, Kelly looked unbearable, "Kevin, it's working time - you just have to tell me how the rats are doing." ”

“ok,ok。” Kevin said wryly, "The rats have been fine, everything is normal. ”

"Schedule some trials for them." Kelly said, "Get them moving and see how they react to various stimuli." ”

She opened the terminal version and checked, "What is the current stock of compound 876?" ”

"There's probably 150 milliliters of stock solution." Kevin resumed his professional tone, "Enough for us to experiment with thousands of mice or more, do we need to synthesize more?" ”

"Not at the moment, but I'm going to test it on more rats and send the stock solution here." As she spoke, Kelly manipulated the glass plate as she entered a repository and clicked on the folder for Compound 876 to open a description file with the title of the document flashing at the top of the screen: 'Formula and Preparation of Compound 876'.

Skimming through the documents, Kelly shook her head, "Now let me think about how to get rid of the negative reactions of this compound, how to make it evolve ......"

The camera panned and zoomed the distance, and the focus shifted from Kelly to Glenn - seeing that Kelly was doing everything as usual and fully immersed in her work, he nodded in relief, turned back to his desk, opened the email page, and began to type quickly...... Glenn, who turned around, also became a virtual focus, and the focus returned to Kelly - what he didn't notice was that at some point, Kelly looked at Kevin's body board as if thinking, and at this angle, the reflection of the glass plate reflected Glenn's movements and the letters he typed......

"If Kelly can read backwards, she should be able to read mirror characters, right?" Although Charles couldn't read Glenn's email at all at such a shocking glance, it didn't prevent him from speculating on Kelly's current information, "So, Glenn is the eyes and ears of the villain, but is the villain Tom or who?" Could it be Tom's father? The same structure as Spider-Man? What will the 150ml stock solution do? ”

Although this is a literary drama, the audience's interest is not gradually decreasing - while Kelly is observing the enemy, her mobile phone in the outer door keeps vibrating silently, and the camera zooms out farther and farther, through the glass, into her bag, and 'sees' through the phone screen in the bag: Parvati is still bombarding Kelly, 'Is this a date, or is it not?' ''Oh God, I can't believe my friend is going to talk to Tom. Wellington is on a date! ''Dress up nicely!'' ’

Some lazy, romantic background music played, and the line 'Dress Up' writhed, floated, and then burst into a soft glow, lunging forward, turning the scene into a blank white - and by the time the scene was back to normal, the scene had switched to an elegant dining room, where Tom Zachary played the role of Tom. Wellington got out of a Porsche, he pulled the sleeve of his suit, and a smile confidently tugged at the corner of his lips, making him look a little wickedly handsome - he threw the keys to the parking boy, pressed the headphones, and walked forward while talking on the phone.

"yes, I see, Glenn, well, yes, I saw the footage......"

After a few reminiscent conversations, Tom walked into the dining room and greeted the waiter, who said familiarly and politely, "Mr. Wellington, of course your place is ready—is it for two tonight?" ”

"Yes," said Tom, "my female companion hasn't come yet, and her name is Kelly. Johnson, a blonde girl, wears, uh...... It should be more ...... Nerd's outfit may not fit your dress code, but give me a personal favor, anyway, bring her in to me. ”

“ok。” The waiter's eyebrows raised playfully, "This is news to you, Mr. Wellington?" ”

"Ah, what can I say, it's fate." Tom laughed too, he seemed personable and approachable, and the tone of the joke was half-truthful, even if it was a lie for the average girl, it was beautiful enough. "Anyway, this is my guest, make sure she gets the best hospitality, no matter what she's wearing—"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly noticed a change in the waiter's expression, his eyes looked straight ahead, Tom also looked in his direction curiously, and then, he also showed a shocked expression-

The camera then turns and slows down, the background music becomes romantic and charming, and where Tom got out of the car just now, a blonde beauty walks out of the car. She was wearing an elegant and romantic white silk short dress, holding a delicate small bag in her hand, her hair was carefully groomed, smooth and smooth, beating on her shoulders with the rhythm of her steps, and her perfect makeup and beautiful figure also made her get the admiring eyes of the men around her.

"Ahh

"Wow-"

There was a gentle commotion in the auditorium: although this was far from the first time Jennifer had flaunted her beauty, but in the contrast between the atmosphere of the film and her strong, tough, and rational performance in the previous nearly an hour, they were once again moved by Kelly's beauty, and felt the same sense of amazement as Tom - and, of course, Tom's joy that his assumptions had been disappointed.

"Well, the sense of proportion is here." Nodding his head in pleasure at Kelly's stunning appearance, Alain thought with a smile, "Although I have played many beautiful women, Jennifer still handles the differences between various beauties very well - Monroe and Claudia may be helpless in temperament, and in this slightly distinguishing role, she immediately handed in an excellent answer sheet - the same is beautiful, but you will never mistake Kelly for Monroe: although Kelly's dress has changed, her common expressions are ' The nucleus is still there, and his expression is slightly restrained and dazed, as if he is not thinking on the same level as ordinary people, and he feels nervous when he walks...... This slightly neurotic feeling didn't change ......"

Under Tom's admiration, Kelly walked up to him and showed him a smile that was much more beautiful and soft, but still very 'Kelly'.

"Good evening." She said, her tone not becoming particularly tender, still cool 'Kelly', "I'm sorry, I'm two minutes late - there's a red light that wasn't expected." ”

The waiter's expression became very strange, and he looked at Tom very distinctly, and Tom coughed a little weakly.

"I've just arrived—let's go inside." He gentlemanly gestured and walked into the dining room with Kelly, and the camera followed them around the corner, then circled and followed—it was actually a montage, and after turning the corner, Kelly and Tom were already enjoying their meal and talking.

"Yes, I know it's going to surprise a lot of people, but I know exactly how to dress myself – I've researched it." Kelly's attitude is the kind of superiority she usually has, but before the audience gets disgusted, she says a little naively, "I just feel more comfortable with shirts and jeans." ”

"You know, I assumed you were here in a shirt and jeans," Tom laughed, and from the look on his face he clearly thought it was quite speculative to talk to Kelly, "well--if I was allowed to admit my narcissism and stereotypes, I thought you would come in some outdated suit and outrageous makeup-"

The two laughed together, and Kelly said, "We've only seen each other in the lab, right, I remember wearing a lab uniform all the time, and you can tell if I'm wearing a shirt and jeans?" Then your impression is really quite stereotypical. ”

"I've seen the video of your speech." Tom said, "I'm a fan, remember? Let me think about what you were wearing that day, huh...... Plaid shirts, jeans and Converse shoes - it's a geek uniform entirely, isn't it? yes, you look like the typical geek girl, and I bet you're a heavy anime fan—"

The romantic background music has a momentary change of tone, and Kelly's expression has not changed, but from the side shot, you can see that her fingers on her lap curl up and grab the napkin. There was a soft 'oh' sound in the theater, and Charles nodded: he was very satisfied with the way it was handled, believing in the audience's IQ, not explaining the simple strategy, and it was obvious here that Kelly's temptation worked, and Tom really unconsciously mentioned that she was a fan of anime. - In other words, the Wellington Institute was really secretly monitoring the entire laboratory building, and Tom was aware of it and listened to the report about her.

"I'm really an anime fan." Kylie's hand relaxed again, and she said with her usual expression, "But that doesn't mean anime fans are weirdos, it's just that for most of us, spending money and energy on these things is very boring and vain." I don't understand what the food has to do with the food, as long as you are decent and clean, you should be qualified to walk into a restaurant in any clothes, for me, dresscode is just a marketing ploy and snobbery for the restaurant. ”

"Hahaha," Tom laughed, "I think you have a point—if I don't obey the dresscode, I guess they won't kick me out." ”

Kelly made an approving face, but still faintly with a sense of superiority and alienation, but Tom didn't mind, and said sincerely, "I have to admit that your little dress was a surprise to me - even if you came in a geek uniform, I would have gotten you into the restaurant." ”

"Really?" Kelly asked.

"Really." Tom stared at Kelly intently, smiling on his lips, such an affectionate attitude made many young viewers sigh again, and even Kelly seemed a little embarrassed under such eyes. "I don't care if you're in a dress or a shirt or jeans – I think it's cooler if you wear that...... I don't know if you feel that way, there are a lot of boring rules in this world, and they are all very ...... Made, by boring, very nasty people, like you said, dresscode is a boring rule, and no one knows why we follow it. Sometimes you're just ...... I can't understand it, it's like you have a thick diaphragm with the world, the ordinary people in this world, don't you? You really don't know why the world works the way it does, why people think these ways-"

Oh, the familiar tone!

Many people reacted: Isn't this what Kelly had in mind at the beginning of counseling? It seems that Tom and Kelly think exactly the same thing in this regard - Kelly can't be fooled by him, right? Sided with the villain at first?

There was a subtle change in her eyes, but she still maintained a cool expression, Kelly nodded, opened her mouth to speak, and at this moment, the picture slowed down abruptly, and the familiar 'Kelly vision' of lines appeared in front of Kelly's eyes - the reality was here a blurred scene of false focus, and it seemed that the round hole in the focus of Kelly's gaze turned to become clear: Tom had a fake, nervous smile on his face, and he secretly tightened his hand on the tablecloth. Then, the hole blinked a few times, as if Kelly was thinking, and at the bottom of the screen, a row of small words that the audience couldn't make out quickly typed out - all they could see was a few words of lie and lying, and then the words floated and stamped onto Tom's smile and hand.

Tom is lying...... This means......

Before the audience could get back to their senses, the round hole blinked a few more times, the picture suddenly stiffened, the rewind sound effect reappeared, the picture blurred for a moment, and when it reappeared, it was the search page on the computer screen - a line of words was quickly typed into the search box: 'psychiatrist in this city', and Dr. Liukin's avatar soon appeared in the first line, the mouse clicked in, and in her introduction page, the round hole zoomin a line of introduction words: Wellington Foundation special psychological experts, the group's employees can be reimbursed by insurance in full......

Yes! It turns out that Tom is using Kelly's arguments to confuse her! No wonder the two have such similar views!

Many viewers have already realized it, while some young viewers are still a little confused, asking their parents, "Mom, what does this mean?" But on the big screen, the camera fast-forwarded to 'now', and in the paused environment, the originally frozen Kelly blinked, and everything suddenly returned to normal, and her tone and expression became excited, "Yes! Really-sometimes I think it's not going to be my problem, you know, it's because of my IQ -- we're all one race, but sometimes you really feel like you're not on the same species as a lot of people-"

Her tone was quite sincere, and Tom smiled, and began to nod his head incessantly, 'uh-huh' - the camera hovered slightly over his expression: although he seemed to smile gently, there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes......

"It's the villain!"

"It's the villain!"

"You can't be wrong if it's a villain!"

In various halls, film critics, audiences and even industry insiders have confirmed this, and they are all very satisfied with the process of discovering this, and they have a feeling of enjoying intellectual exercise, "The plot of this movie is really well done!" It's not obscure, it's easy to understand, but it also makes you feel smart! ”

The author has something to say: update ......

Sorry for being late, I didn't finish writing......

Before 12 o'clock tonight, if I can write it, there will be a double watch...... Without the impact drill, at night, the little cat will bear the burden of 'disturbing the owner's writing', and will come to shout once every five minutes on average, so that I can feed her/feed her milk/give snacks/play with her...... It's so hard for TVT to write something.
