-91- Mechanical Crown
The movie begins.
The story told in "The Mechanical Crown" is that after a mechanical sphere from the universe landed on the earth, it released a cosmic energy that could be controlled by humans, and this cosmic energy was divided into two kinds of mutual reciprocity, so the human beings who mastered this power were quickly divided into two forces, one was the white-winged force and the other was the black-winged force.
In order to compete for the alien mechanical sphere codenamed "The Crown", the two forces have set off a huge war that affects all the countries of the entire earth.
As the male lead, Dai Yuming knows the script of the movie well.
In the script, the protagonist he plays "Canaan" is the number one master of the White Wing forces, but Canaan himself hates fighting, and in order to be able to prevent the world war within mankind, Canaan runs around, but to no avail.
In the process, Canaan decided to go to the heart of the war and destroy the "crown", a mechanical sphere floating in the air.
In this way, the black wing forces and white wing forces of the whole world will disappear, and perhaps the person who destroyed the "crown" will die, but the world can return to peace.
The whole story is that the protagonist sacrifices himself in order to destroy the "crown", the root of all evil, and unlike the passionate atmosphere of "Star Armor", the style of "Mechanical Crown" is full of a faint sadness.
As the plot of the movie progresses, thirty minutes have passed.
Dai Yuming looked at the movie on the big screen, and while he was relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He knows the plot of "Mechanical Crown", and there are no corners in the production, the battle between the black wing and the white wing forces is indeed hearty, and the fight inside the aircraft on the clouds shows the hero's domineering to the fullest, and the special effects are so handsome that they are simply scum.
Dai Yuming's regret is not that the quality of the movie is not good, on the contrary, the quality of "Mechanical Crown" is very good, and at present, it is not much worse than "Star Armor".
There may not be any ups and downs in the plot, but this kind of commercial film is clearly to show you special effects, and the picture is refreshing.
In this regard, director Haruaki Ikawa has done it to the extreme.
But it is precisely because of this that Dai Yuming regrets it.
Originally, "Star Armor" and "Mechanical Crown" were both fast food commercial movies that sold special effects.
But when a shocking song "The Burner" sounded, "Star Armor" was transformed into a word-of-mouth masterpiece that can make people burn deep in the bone marrow.
In comparison.
"The Mechanical Crown" does not show anything that can arouse the audience's emotions after all, and there are only gorgeous special effects that make people visually tired.
Dai Yuming also noticed that his girlfriend had begun to look down at her phone boredly when there was no narrative of the fight.
Two hours passed quickly in the cinema, and before I knew it, the movie was coming to an end.
This is also the place that Dai Yuming cares about the most - the end of "The Mechanical Crown" is the climax of the plot, and it is also the most sentimental bridge, where the protagonist "Canaan" will sacrifice himself and die with the "crown".
If the audience's emotions can't fluctuate here, then there will be no suspense at the first box office of the Chinese New Year.
Inside the cinema, the rousing battle soundtrack fades away, replaced by a quiet that can be heard of pins falling.
Dai Mingwen looked at the movie screen seriously and knew that the most critical place was coming.
Suddenly.
A faint singing voice sounded in the ears of the audience.
"Blooming wildflowers, please tell me"
"Why do people hurt each other and fight each other?"
This song has no great arrangement, no subtle lyrics, but the sentimental ethereal singing can't help but attract everyone's attention.
Dai Mingwen's girlfriend put away the mobile phone chatting on QQ, raised her head, and began to focus on watching the movie screen.
Some viewers who sat for too long and felt tired and closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, but also suddenly opened their eyes.
They listened to the singing and watched the big screen with a look that gradually became serious.
……
in the film.
The black, scorched earth was covered with cracks, and the meadows and forests that stretched for hundreds of miles in sight were all pitch black and barren.
Human corpses are a rarity here, whether they are soldiers in battle uniforms or innocent children who have died tragically, bathed in the filthy rain without anyone looking at them, and their corpses will gradually decompose in the rain until no one can tell them as they were.
In the wasteland, a soldier who had run out of ammunition cried out for mercy to the enemy, and when the enemy spared him and was about to turn away, the soldier suddenly jumped up, sneered and pierced the enemy's heart with his dagger.
In the ruins of the city, a little girl in a dirty dress knelt next to a corpse and cried loudly, and only a few dozen meters away from her, a dying man pointed his gun at the little girl before he died, and pulled the trigger with a hideous expression.
In the middle of the alley, a teenager with the power of black wings picked up the corpse of his companion on the ground and threw it at the enemy as a meat bullet.
"Quietly blooming flowers, what can you see there?"
"Why can't people forgive each other?"
The desolate and mournful singing echoed in the ears of all the audience.
The feeling of sadness gradually spread in everyone's hearts.
People looked at the scene in front of them, and some people's eyes were already shining.
……
in the film.
The male protagonist has a huge white wings of light stretched behind his back, standing above the mechanical sphere, looking like an angel who has fallen from heaven to the mortal world.
He saw the eyes of the little boy who had lost his luster in the midst of the war, the old man blocking the enemy with his flesh and blood to protect his grandson, and the soldiers shouting "Why do we kill each other" and charging forward with guns.
He also remembered what the leader of the Black Wing Force said to him - you will not bring you any benefit if you destroy the "crown", you will neither survive nor go down in history, what you do will not only kill yourself, but also make thousands of descendants nail you to the pillar of shame and scold, because you have ruined the possibility of human evolution.
"I don't regret it." He said to himself.
Along with this phrase.
The whole screen was whitened by a huge light, and everything seemed to be forbidden, but the mournful singing never stopped.
"Summer after the rain, turn blue"
"Blending into one"
"In front of me gently swaying"
"Not a word"
In the song, it seems that everything has vanished.
It was as if it were all a dream, a long, difficult dream, and when I woke up, I could still see the familiar ceiling of my room.
……
Now.
The audience in the entire cinema seemed to be much quieter than usual.
Everyone watched the movie intently, and even the whispers were gone.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Dai Yuming, who was watching the movie carefully, seemed to hear his girlfriend's soft sobs.
She didn't like this kind of movie, but she cried when she watched it?
He thought incredulously.
And then.
Dai Yuming looked at the male protagonist he played on the screen, and faintly felt a little choked in his throat.
……
When the white glow ended, a few words appeared in the center of the screen.
"Ten years later."
Ten years later, the world has returned to order, and it has been rebuilt to be better than before, most of the regimes have been erased by the war, and in the new world, all people live under a unified and peaceful regime, and everyone is equal.
People have built more prosperous and beautiful cities, and their faces are filled with happiness with a capital letter.
The people of the new world are smiling a lot more than they used to, there are no wars, no strife in this world, people live peacefully, and everything about the mechanical crown seems to be just a nightmare ten years ago.
In the history books, because of the destruction of the infinite possibilities of human evolution, the name of the male protagonist has become infamous through the ages, and countless sins have been blamed on him, and the hero who saved the world has another person in the history books.
It's like that sentence -
When people chant heroes, they don't know that the real heroes have fallen.
"Summer parting, the breeze rippling, the two overlapping"
"To prove that I ever lived, I sang loudly"
"For the Nameless Friend"
The song echoes through the streets of the city.
It is like the white catkins flying in the spring breeze, and it seems that someone is thinking about someone.
The camera turned.
There are vigorous birds flying over the city, children on the street smiling brightly, old people under the trees playing chess intently, and men and women happily holding hands and looking up at the sky.
In the sad singing, the movie ushered in the end.
……
Akasaka Soshu walked out of the movie theater with mixed feelings.
Hi, it's because he just watched a good movie worth remembering.
worried, because he knew that when that song came out, "Mechanical Crown" would already be able to match "Star Armor".
Originally, he was going to watch the movie and make a phone call to mock Dai Yuming, but this is a waste.
The ending atmosphere of "The Mechanical Crown" is too perfect, especially the lamentation is no worse than the "Burner" of Master Huang Quwen in terms of atmosphere rendering, which makes Akasaka Soshu very clear that it is unlikely that "Star Armor" will overpower "The Mechanical Crown".
"Dut...... Honk...... Beep ......" the phone rings.
Akasaka Muneshu looked down.
The caller's remark is "mentally retarded".
"Hey." He answered the phone.
"Did you watch the movie? Am I handsome or not? ”
"Roll !!"
……
Entrance to the cinema.
"Cousin, don't cry, it's all outside the cinema." Ogawa Junjie looked at the president of the Yuken Society who was crying in front of him, and he didn't have a good airway.
"This story is so sadistic." Akishi Nagano wiped a handful of tears, "You actually didn't feel anything when you saw it?" You hard-hearted fellow! ”
"What nonsense, of course I think this story is sad." Toshijie Ogawa's expression suddenly hesitated, "Moreover, the last song ......"
"That song is so good!" Akishi Nagano loudly announced, "This is definitely the best song I've heard this year!" The Divine Comedy, definitely the Divine Comedy! ”
"The Divine Comedy is too flooded in your mouth, although the song is indeed good." Toshiyoshi Ogawa pouted, "But right...... I think I've heard this song somewhere. ”
"What?" Akishi Nagano wondered, "What are you kidding?" ”
"Really, I don't lie to you."
"Where have you heard of it?" Akishi Nagano doesn't believe it.
"I can't remember, but the melody is familiar, and the voice is here." Toshiyoshi Ogawa looked serious and thoughtful.
"Come on, you can't say that you have heard this song in advance before the movie is shown." Akishi Nagano patted his cousin on the shoulder.
That's right.
That's it.
Ogawa Junjie was about to remember, but now he can't shoot it.
After all, I've only heard a song nearly three months ago, and it's too hard to recall it later.
"Am I mistaken?" Ogawa muttered and touched the back of his head.
