After dealing with the mess and eating, Ning Yun returned to the virtual space.

Doraemon seems to be a little interested: "How is it, what does it feel like to be a big star?" ”

Ning Yun smiled: "It's just a wave of craze, it will pass soon, only those who desperately hype themselves are called stars, and only then can they become stars, if you don't give face to the media, the media will ignore you, and if you don't ban you, you have to kneel and beg." Not to mention these boring things, how has "Birdman" changed? ”

Doraemon waved his hand and the screen appeared: "'Birdman' was $103 million at the original box office, $101 million after you changed it." Influence 35 before the change, 23 influence after the change, you're doing a good job. In particular, invisibility cards purchased with only 1 point of influence play a big role. ”

Ning Yun nodded: "This thing doesn't seem to have many functions, but it works very well in a specific environment, it can designate a certain location, so that it can be ignored by the director in an area within a radius of 10 meters, which is very useful, and it can also be turned on and off at any time, but unfortunately it can only be used in a film, and I will have to buy it again next time." ”

"Just the right fit for your approach, restricting the self-esteem of several protagonists. I don't know what the director is doing behind closed doors. Because it is ignored, the influence of reality will not give the director any inspiration, dream clues and the like, and of course it will not have a subconscious influence in this direction. You can toss around as much as you like in the kidnapping room......" Doraemon smiled.

Ning Yun also smiled: "This is exactly what I need." In fact, I think what is more important is to use the stealth card to limit the director's knowledge of my thinking, so he can only shoot according to the external reaction and his own thinking. ”

Ning Yun shrugged: "And the 10 million dollars I paid to the director, in order to change his thinking about literary films, he was more affected by my behavior." ”

"The box office has decreased by two million, which means that you make two million and pay ten million, so you still lose money."

"No way, what is missing the most right now is influence points. So we can only focus on it. There is too little that a completely and thoroughly ordinary person can do in many movies, especially surreal ones. Even identity cards can be purchased with Influence Points. ”

……

Ning Yun opened the changed "The Fate of Birdman" and began to watch it.

The first half of the film is unchanged from the original, and it is very dull and boring for most people, until Reagan's stage play officially premieres.

Reagan was naked on stage. The body is worn only inside. When Yi threatened with a fake gun, a person came on stage, with bright blonde hair and sky blue eyes, a little similar to Ning Yun, but he was a pure white actor.

This white actor Ning Yun has never seen it, and he should be a newcomer.

No nonsense, the white actor simply kidnapped Reagan and shot at the audience, but fortunately it was only threatening and no one was hurt.

Escorting Reagan to the break room, the white actor claimed to be Jack, a big fan of Reagan, and couldn't bear to see Reagan degenerate into a stage play and come to redeem Reagan.

Then there is a large conversation between the two people, memories of their own painful experiences, psychological feelings, and both of them venting and throwing things, mixed with Reagan's fantasy that he is the Birdman, and punishes the kidnapper Jack with superpowers.

The NYPD found the explosives on the door, the FBI intervened, and the kidnapper Jack refused to negotiate, but in order to confirm the safety of the hostages, he posted several videos on the Internet, which was a video of the conversation between Jack and Reagan, which caused a sensation under the psychology of everyone prying into their privacy.

Of course, because the content is boring and not exciting enough, it ends up with only a few million hits.

The camera returns to the break room, where kidnapper Jack asks Reagan to re-emerge and act in the sequel to Birdman, but Reagan refuses.

Then there is Reagan's inner narrative, in fact, kidnapper Jack doesn't understand, of course the current Reagan also wants to act in the sequel to "Birdman" or something, but no one is looking for Reagan to act.

Then is the introduction of the kidnapper Jack, as a fan of Reagan, Jack doesn't believe at all, or doesn't want to believe that no one is looking for Reagan to act, and firmly believes that as long as Reagan is willing, he can immediately star in "The Rising Birds".

Jack the kidnapper asked Reagan if he was afraid of box office failure, which was no match for today's superhero films.

Reagan refused to answer.

The kidnapper, Jack, was furious, roughly tied up Reagan, left the break room, searched the background, and found Reagan's daughter Sammy hiding in the corner, as well as several other hostages.

Jack, the kidnapper, returns to the break room with the hostages and releases a new video demanding that Emma Watson be exchanged for the hostages, causing a big stir.

Then the kidnapper Jack yelled at Reagan, you see, I let this Bichi cooperate with you in "Birdman Rising", with this Bichi as your girlfriend, you will definitely succeed, and you will definitely defeat any superhero.

All the hostages were speechless and looked at the kidnapper Jack with the eyes of a madman.

Reagan poured in more guilt, and visions of Birdman were still chattering on the side.

Emma Watson, persuaded by the FBI and her agent and PR, decided to remain silent and not respond.

After waiting for a long time and getting no response, the kidnapper Jack decided to threaten Reagan with Sammy's life.

Reagan once again fantasized that he had the superpowers of Birdman, fought hard with the kidnappers, rescued his daughter and other hostages, reunited the family, and ended happily, with a standing ovation from the theater audience.

It's a pity that everything is illusory, the reality is that the kidnappers wound Sammy with a gun, and Reagan howled and couldn't do anything.

Jack, the kidnapper, blasted the other hostages out of the door, closed the door, and cut the rope that tied Reagan, smiling eerily.

In a blink of an eye, the kidnapper Jack vanishes, leaving only the open windows and the wind-blown curtains.

The truth is revealed, some reminiscence scenes, and it turns out that the kidnapper Jack also fantasizes that he is Birdman.

Reagan silently glanced at his motionless daughter, Sammy, who had fallen to the ground, and walked to the window to look at the flocks of birds in the sky.

The vision of Birdman appeared again next to Reagan, who was completely disgusted by the illusion and crawled out of the window and whispered, "Goodbye, fuck you. Target! ”

The camera pans to Sammy and gasps violently. Breathing, then coughing, Sammy struggled to his feet, walked to the window, leaned over to look at the ground, then at the sky......

The screen goes black, and the occasional chuckle from Sammy can be heard.

……

Ning Yun found some media reviews.

"Except for the infectious improvisational jazz, nothing else is lackluster."

"Cinema is not lacking in creativity and energy, what it lacks is consideration and direction. There are wonderful performances in the films, yet they are overwhelmed by Iñárritu's ambitions, impulses and fantasies. ”

"A film with deep thoughts but difficult to move people deeply is more like a technical experiment than a flesh-and-blood story."

Ning Yunsou has an award record, a Golden Lion nomination at the Venice Film Festival, an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography, an Oscar nomination for Best Sound Effects, and several other minor awards.

There was only one Oscar for Best Cinematography.

Yes, although the film does not have a single shot to the end like the original, the cinematography is indeed excellent, but it is this excellence that makes the film feel very dull.

In fact, just look at the films made by director Iñárritu before, known as the fate trilogy of "Love is a Son of a Dog" (Amores.perros), "21Grams" (21Grams) and "Babel" (Babel), are not films that can make people excited.

The director is more concerned with life and human nature, and does not care much about telling a clear and complete story.

Of course, if you look hard and carefully a few times, you can still understand it.

But such a movie is naturally not friendly enough at the box office.

And such a director with a literary temperament, of course, disdains to have anything to do with Xiang, dreaming of such a scene, he may vomit when he wakes up in the morning :)

Take off. Clothing. Not to mention dancing, I dreamed that Emma Watson was dancing in my movie, and it must have been too much last night.
