At the premiere ceremony, Zhou Xingzhi, Li Mu and Liu Yifei only said hello to the audience briefly, and then returned to their seats, and then Li Mu and Zhou Xingzhi chatted quietly, while Andy Lau, Fan Wei and other actors stayed on the stage to continue to interact with the audience.

Offstage.

Li Mu asked Zhou Xingzhi: "I really don't plan to play the starring role in person in the future?" ”

Zhou Xingzhi said: "It shouldn't be." ”

Li Mu thought that there would be a reason not to act later, and he deliberately waited for Zhou Xingzhi to continue, but there was no result, there was only one result, no reason.

Li Mu said: "That's really a pity, the audience won't be able to see the purest nonsensical comedy in the future." ”

Zhou Xingzhi said: "If you don't act, you don't retire, you will continue to film, as long as there are still audiences who like it and you can make money, the movie will continue to be filmed, but it will not be filmed as an actor again." ”

Li Mu smiled: "In this way, won't we Huashang make a lot of money?" The last time Xing Ye appeared was in our "Source Code", wow, it's very commemorative. ”

Zhou Xingzhi: "I like the scene near the end of the movie very much, the picture is frozen, the machine is pulled away, everyone is laughing, everything is so beautiful as far as the eye can see, and the ending with that picture is really very much to my liking." ”

Stage.

Andy Lau said to the audience: "I just heard someone say that the investment in "Source Code" is only 30 million US dollars, which will definitely not be too good-looking, Huashang's sci-fi film, the investment amount is not 100 million US dollars, are you embarrassed to say hello to people?" I would say that this is wrong. ”

"I've been making movies for decades, and in my company, I really can't afford to invest more than 30 million in movies, I'm talking about Hong Kong dollars, and the source code investment is 30 million dollars! Why do you think the investment is small? That's an investment of 200 million! I really didn't know that it would cost so much money to make a movie, and the investment in "Source Code" is really a lot, and there are not a few films in the country with this amount of investment, so please have confidence in "Source Code", this is a very wonderful science fiction movie! ”

Offstage.

Li Mu continued to chat with Zhou Xingzhi until the premiere was in the film playback session.

The creators of the movie returned to their seats one after another, the lights in the playing hall dimmed, and Li Mu also turned his attention to the big screen in front of him.

The movie has officially begun.

After the logo of the investment companies such as Dragon Standard and Huashang Media, the bustling street scene of the magic capital comes into the eyes of the audience, which is shot by helicopter aerial photography, and many Hollywood blockbusters will use this opening method, subtly, many viewers will subconsciously feel that they are watching a blockbuster when they see this kind of opening.

Co-producer, director, producer, chief planner, co-producer, co-producer, starring - all roles and names appear on the big screen, but it is clear that no one will pay attention to these behind-the-scenes staff, and at this moment the audience's attention is all focused on the beginning of the film.

Until the words "special performance" appeared on the screen.

Special Performances:

Zhou Xingzhi, Li Mu, Liu Yifei.

"Special Performance Zhou Xingzhi - Zhou Xingzhi ???"

It's true that the audience's attention is not on these subtitles, but if you suddenly see a particularly familiar and familiar name, and it is a completely unexpected name for the audience, the audience's attention will be instantly pulled back.

"What's the situation? Special performance Zhou Xingzhi? ”

"Did you hear it before?"

"Is there something wrong with the crew? Zhou Xingzhi participated in such a big thing, but he didn't vigorously publicize it? ”

"I'm grass, I remembered, it seems that someone broke the news on the Internet before, and I saw it as a joke at the time."

"There are also Li Mu and Liu Yifei in this piece? I grass! Awesome! ”

"Andy Lau, Fan Wei, Yang Ziqiong, Zhou Xingzhi, Li Mu, Liu Yifei - what kind of immortal combination is this!"

"I've never seen such a crew, the movies have been released, and the biggest selling point of the film is hidden, is this a grudge against the box office?"

Li Mu and Liu Yifei did appear in the movie, and they were re-shot after the two returned to China, but in fact, there were very, very few scenes, so there was no publicity for me.

This is Li Mu's version.

Just those two scenes, you hyped it up in advance, and the audience came with great interest, but there were too few scenes, and it was inevitable that you would be disappointed, on the contrary, if you don't publicize it to the outside world, the audience will find out for themselves, but it will become an unexpected surprise.

Li Mu's role is actually very simple, the actor found through the car window that it was not his face, he hurriedly ran to the toilet, and finally confirmed that his face had become a completely unfamiliar appearance.

Li Mu is the owner of that completely unfamiliar face.

In a sense, Li Mu's appearance is the real appearance of the protagonist of the story, and the protagonist that everyone on the train sees is actually Li Mu's face.

Liu Yifei's role is even simpler, that is, at the end of the film, the male and female protagonists met a passerby girl walking on the road, the girl is also called Liu Yifei, but in the movie she is just a very ordinary salesperson.

"Source Code" creates a real parallel world, so what is so strange about Liu Yifei in the parallel world being just an ordinary salesperson?

The movie officially begins, the actor Shi Wenzhou wakes up from a train, he doesn't know why he is here, and he remembers that he should participate in peacekeeping in Africa.

In front of him was a young woman, who seemed to be very familiar with him, but he didn't know her at all, the woman called him Xiao Wen, but he didn't know who this Xiao Wen was.

As Li Mu and Zhou Xingzhi said before, Huashang Media made a lot of money this time.

As soon as the film began, attentive viewers found Zhou Xingzhi's figure from the flashing lens, which was a complete surprise to the audience.

Immediately afterwards, the actor found that he was not himself in the mirror, and he had become a stranger, but this stranger was not strange to everyone at all.

Li Mu!

For the audience:

"I'm grass, a lot of big coffee!"

"Suddenly you feel like it's worth the fare, don't you?"

"I guess the role of Xing Ye will definitely not live for ten minutes, and he must be the same as the crocodile gang boss played by Feng Xiaogang in "Kung Fu", he appeared early and received a boxed lunch early!"

"Do you still have to say that? Definitely! You see that the crew didn't promote Xingye, it must be because there are very few scenes, either die or get out of the car to finish, I also guess that the possibility of dying directly is a little greater. ”

As a result, just after the heroine played by Song Ji said the sentence "everything will be fine", the whole train suddenly exploded!

The whole two trains of people all went straight off the line!

Many viewers were stunned by this scene.

The good news is that everyone guessed correctly, Xing Ye really went offline to receive a boxed lunch in ten minutes; The bad news is,It seems that even the male and female protagonists have gone offline to receive a boxed lunch together.。

"Captain Svenzhou, did you get it?"

"You're in the midst of a siege of Fort and everything is normal?"

After receiving simple training, Andy Lau's male protagonist is asked to find the killer who detonated the bomb, so he returns to the train for the second time.

The dialogue with the heroine, the spilled coffee, the ticket check, and the star who is online again.

This time, the actor's first object of suspicion was Xing Ye, because he kept asking why the train was delayed, and he looked very anxious.

The actor snatched the newspaper in Zhou Xing's hand.

"What are you worried about?"

"What?"

"You seem to be constantly worried about time, what are you going to miss?"

"I'm about to miss your front-page celebration."

Andy Lau: "It's funny, who are you?" Acting in comedy? ”

Song Ji finally discovered Zhou Xingzhi's identity: "Yes, he is a comedian." ”

The character played by Zhou Xingzhi thought that he had met a crazy fan, but the heroine played by Song Ji seemed very excited, and when the male protagonist sat back beside her, she hurriedly said:

"It's him, Zhou Xingzhi, comedian, who has won the national box office championship many times, we talked about his movies before, you forgot."

The actor's face was a little dazed, and the heroine asked again: "You can't really remember anything, right?" Name an actor or director you know! ”

The actor said: "Li Mu? ”

Heroine: "Fortunately, it seems that there is no amnesia, don't move, you look very much like Li Mu." ”

The heroine asked the male protagonist to turn to the glass of the train, and the human face reflected from the glass was Li Mu!

This plot incorporates some original plots, such as the talk show actor in the original version turned into comedy movie actor Zhou Xingzhi, for example, when the male protagonist in the movie looked in the mirror, he saw Li Mu's face, and then the heroine said that the male protagonist looked like the great director Li Mu, which echoed Li Mu's face in front.

Entering the world of the source code for the second time, the male protagonist finds the bomb, but time is too late for him to do anything.

Immediately after, an explosion.

The protagonist returns to the cabin.

"Who's in charge of this mock test? Where are my troops? ”

The female officer played by Yang Ziqiong said to him: "Captain, this is not a mock test, life is at stake." ”

The protagonist wants to know the truth, but Yang Ziqiong just insists on asking about the bomb, the male protagonist has a tough attitude, and Yang Ziqiong asks the superior played by Fan Wei to tell the protagonist part of the truth.

"At 7:48 this morning, there was an explosion on the Jingmo high-speed railway, and all passengers were killed, and you were on that train."

"There's a man on the train named Chauvin, and he's you in every sense of the word."

"The train explosion was just the first wave, and there were many more to come."

The protagonist then returns to the train again, this time taking the heroine off the train and then falling off the tracks in a scuffle with a suspicious man.

returned to the cabin again, but this time the power was cut off in the cabin, and it took a lot of effort for the actor to repair the cabin.

Repeated again and again, and dying again and again, made the actor Shi Wenzhou's spirit on the verge of collapse, and he needed to know more information.

This time he saw a strange old man on crutches, the eccentric lame old man was directing the female soldier played by Yang Ziqiong, the male protagonist was keenly aware that this person was the boss here, and he told the commander that he saved a female passenger to get off the bus, and he might be able to save more people.

The old man, played by Fan Wei, finally begins to reveal the secrets about the "source code" to the protagonist.

"When a light bulb goes out, there is an afterglow, and the same is true for the brain, even after death, the brainwave energy remains for a short time, and the brain circuits remain open. The brain has another characteristic that maintains a short-lived memory track for about 8 minutes...... Brain circuits that remain after death and memories that can be traced back to 8 minutes ago – the world of source code allows us to harness both at the same time......"

The actor asked, "What will happen after 8 minutes?" ”

Fan Wei: "After that?" Nothing! In the world of source code, you can only exist for those 8 minutes. Source code is not time travel, in fact, source code is just a time and space reproduction. ”

It is not uncommon to keep repeating the setting of a certain period of time in movies, such as the movie "Groundhog Day" released in 1993, in which the protagonist is constantly repeating the day of Groundhog Day, and the protagonist of the film begins by using this constant time and space to make his own profit, casually taking the money in the cash truck for himself, or using this characteristic to pursue women.

Until the constant repetition caused the male protagonist to have a nervous breakdown, and then there were all kinds of death-seeking, but in the end, the male protagonist still woke up and began to live every day positively and optimistically.

Helping the townspeople fix their cars, saving a boy who fell from a tree, rescuing an old man who gets his throat stuck in a steak, and learning to play the piano, the hero finally gets rid of the repeated groundhog day and gains love in the end.

Unlike Groundhog Day, which is repeated for no reason, Source Code gives a seemingly more scientific explanation:

The human brain retains a brief memory of about 8 minutes after death, and the so-called source code uses this feature of the human brain to build an 8-minute mirror world.

The world of source code and the overworld are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, but the information obtained from the source world is still valid in the overworld.

The setting looks similar to the constant cycle of Groundhog Day, but when you think about it, there seems to be a big difference between the two.

And this difference is reflected in innovation, and the 8-minute loop of "Source Code" is clearly more urgent than the one-day loop of "Groundhog Day".

And compared to "Groundhog Day", the truth of the world of "Source Code" is undoubtedly more worrying.

Viewers watching "Groundhog Day" will feel that it seems good even if they are stuck in a loop forever, because in the world of loops, the protagonist is God.

And the world of Source Code is undoubtedly much more desolate.

For those who have only watched half of the movie, all the people on the train are actually dead, and these people who are communicating and interacting with the protagonist are actually just images left in the brain after the death of the person named Xiao Wen.

The heroine played by Song Ji has a good impression of the protagonist, and every audience can see this, the heroine is very gentle and kind, and when someone spills coffee on her shoes, she just laughs and passes.

However, in terms of the movie setting, this woman who is very nice and gentle and obviously likes the protagonist is actually a dead person.

In the constant cycle, the male protagonist also develops a crush on women, but this favor is destined to be fruitless.

What can happen with a woman who has already died?

It can be said that from the moment the chief played by Fan Wei revealed the truth of the source code world to the protagonist, the hearts of the audience have been pinched.

At the same time, I also had a strong curiosity about the later development of the plot.
