Chapter 458: Candidates

"If I don't make that mistake if I can, maybe, my life will be better?" Under this assumption, people can face a life with choices like the male protagonist Peter, and if this is really the case, what will everything become? This kind of fictional delusion can only stay in fantasy, but the editors want the film to tell people that even if there is such an opportunity, things may not be as good as people think

Peter learned his lesson by using the same method to gain the trust of his "self" 50 years ago, and this time Peter is not encouraging his past self to pursue the school flower, because he knows that the woman will eventually betray him. He guided the past "self" to correctly understand love, know himself, and tell him who is the woman worthy of his own cherishment.

At the end of each call, Peter's status quo changes. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, this time Peter did not interfere too much in his past "own" life, so in the end he was just an ordinary ordinary person, with an ordinary-looking wife who loved him deeply, and lived a peaceful life.

Peter was so satisfied with this life that he ended up destroying the one in his hand and severing all ties with himself in the "past".

Faced with a life with infinite possibilities, how to choose? The life that follows and the life that has become history before it. With an infinitely beautiful desire to correct your life and all the people around you, it will also become a better life. All our mistakes will be corrected, but the outcome is better. Or is it not so rosy?

The screenwriter of "Connecting to the Future" gives his own answer at the end of the script, the future Peter died because of greedily rewriting his life, and now Peter is enjoying his old age because of contentment.

When he closed the script, Chen Feng suddenly had the idea of wanting to meet the screenwriter.

――――

What Chen Feng didn't expect was that the screenwriter of "Connecting the Future" was actually a young Michi-Chinese. When they first met, he wrote this surprised expression directly on his face.

If Chen Feng's reaction is a kind of Mi Guo-style frankness, then in this screenwriter named Chen Zixuan. It also reflects that the modesty and introversion of the Chinese people have become an obvious characteristic.

Because of this, Chen Feng's first impression of Chen Zixuan was excellent, and the other party's Chinese identity gave the two an extra layer of intimate connection. Even when he first ordered coffee, Chen Feng specially asked: "Does Mr. Chen drink coffee or tea?" ”

Chen Zixuan smiled: "I'd better follow the customs." ”

Chen Feng nodded, and then ordered two cups of coffee. But before the coffee was served, the two chatted first.

"I've already read Mr. Chen's script, and with all due respect, the story you wrote can basically be seen as a synthesis of "Black Hole Frequency" and "The Butterfly Effect", if it weren't for the deep self-reflection of the film's theme, maybe we wouldn't be meeting today... I wonder why Mr. Chan came up with the idea to write such a story. ”

"I've always insisted that life moves forward under a rule that can't be changed."

Chen Zixuan's answer smacked of fatalism, while Chen Feng preferred to interpret the question from a scientific point of view: "Has Mr. Chen ever heard of the 'grandmother paradox'?" Hawking's explanation for this paradox is that there is a physical principle in the world, even if humans can go back in time. Nor can it intervene in history. I think your views are very similar to his. ”

"I know that Mr. Chen is very familiar with Chinese culture, but I wonder if you also know about Buddhism? In fact, what you see in the script is just like the cause and effect that the Buddhists say, but the cause and effect that the Buddhists must go through reincarnation for several lifetimes all happened in the life of the protagonist Peter. ”…,

In order to explain the concept of causal reincarnation, Chen Zixuan continued: "If we assume that the process of human life development is a coherent straight line. This cause is the other effect, and the conclusion is the current life. But if we change what has happened at a certain point before, then the life that has been changed because of this point will change many points later because of the chain reaction, and more points that have been changed, and the dots that will be interlocked will be rewritten for a whole period of life. And because of this. The whole life will be completely different. ”

"Perhaps we should be thankful for what we have now. Every important decision we make in life affects our whole life. And everything that has been decided before has forged our current life. Contentment is not about thinking about changing everything that has happened, but about how to change your life in the future. Perhaps, God has given us the best path when it chose for us, and all we have to do is to cherish everything we have now. No one's life is completely beautiful and flawless. So, perhaps, it is only when we accept the existing shortcomings that the world will become a better place instead of constantly praying for better and more vain things."

Chen Feng listened attentively, and he didn't even bother to take a sip of the coffee in front of him. He didn't expect that a science fiction movie could be interpreted from such a perspective, although he didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, more often people don't have a way to require science fiction movies to fully follow all the existing scientific evidence. Otherwise, science fiction movies may all become vulnerable. If you put aside the special relativity, general relativity and the "grandmother's paradox" to look at this script, even Chen Feng has to marvel at Chen Zixuan's extremely exquisite idea in the script.

Chen Zixuan saw the changes in Chen Feng's entire expression in his eyes, in fact, after revealing his thoughts and thoughts, he himself was also a little apprehensive. Seeing Chen Feng's expression several times, Chen Zixuan was afraid that he would be wrong, so he hurriedly explained: "Actually, the idea of this script is still in science fiction, but in terms of theme expression, I tried to introduce some religious thinking. ”

Chen Feng shook his head, "Mr. Chen is actually too worried, many philosophical concepts in religious thought are actually not in conflict with science fiction movies, and the Matrix will not be regarded as a science fiction classic if it is not allowed to be regarded as a science fiction classic." Mr. Chen's words just now have benefited me a lot, but what really puzzles me is why you are so interested in science fiction movies, and you still choose to travel through time and space, which is a very profound theme in science fiction movies? ”

Chen Feng asked very implicitly, but Chen Zixuan still understood what he meant, because this question involved the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, and Chen Zixuan gave his own answer after careful consideration.

"Whether it is Chinese film and television works or fantasy works, they are far more than science fiction works. On the theme of time and space travel, in fact, there are many film and television works related to Chinese themes, but unfortunately most of the stories are based on fantasy. Although this phenomenon is closely related to China's long-standing culture, Chinese people are overly addicted to history and often lack sufficient sense of innovation for the future, which is not necessarily a good thing for the cultural creativity of the whole nation in the long run."

"Mr. Chen doesn't need to be too pessimistic, I think this situation has a lot to do with the Chinese cultural environment." Chen Feng comforted Chen Zixuan at this time, Western society advocates natural science, and the rich atmosphere of popular science has naturally become a hotbed for the development and growth of science fiction films. Moreover, many science fiction movies need advanced film and television production technology as support, and the prosperity of science fiction movies in Hollywood is not accidental.

"So I came to China to try to change that, or at least I wanted to prove that Chinese people are not inherently uncreative when it comes to science fiction." …,

After meeting with Chen Zixuan, the filming of the film "Connecting the Future" was officially mentioned on the agenda of Huayu Company. The script is there, but the director has not yet been decided, which makes Li Haitao a headache.

Chen Feng, who was once pinned on "high hopes" by Li Haitao, not only was not interested in the protagonist of the film at all, but even Li Haitao proposed to let him be the director of this film, he shook his head again and again.

At this moment, Li Haitao was at a loss, he crossed his hands on his hips and asked in front of Chen Feng: "Since even you think that this script is well written, even if you refuse to be the leading actor, why do you even have to refuse the director?" ”

Chen Feng replied nonchalantly: "I'm very busy during this time. ”

Li Haitao waved his hand impatiently, "Don't tell me those useless ones." ”

Chen Feng shrugged helplessly, "Okay, "New Sherlock Holmes" is about to start filming, do you think I can have time to do anything else at this time?" ”

Li Haitao was still unmoved, "This is not the answer I wanted." ”

Chen Feng, who was forced to be helpless, had to come up with the last killer feature: "As a director, I have never only filmed the scripts I wrote, this reason is enough, right?" ”

Li Haitao stared at Chen Feng for a long time, and then sighed helplessly. He admitted that what Chen Feng said was the truth, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart: "You don't want to do it, who should I go to at this time?" ”

"Christopher Nolan?" Chen Feng blurted out without thinking: "Aren't you good friends with him?" Calculating the time, I estimate that "The Dark Knight" is also about to be released, and Nolan should have time to be the director of this film, and we sold him a favor in that film, at this time, it will be invalid if it expires."

Li Haitao slapped his head, why did he forget that person? Just when he was remorseful, Chen Feng reminded again: "If you want to ask Christopher Nolan to be the director of this film, you must start quickly, and you must negotiate with him before the release of "The Dark Knight". ”……
