Chapter 60 - Released
A good movie is one where you can guess the ending, but not the process.
Not everyone will be like film critics or Luo Jianzhou, who are guilty of occupational diseases when watching a movie, and unconsciously analyze it from beginning to end.
Just when the vast majority of the audience thought that the protagonist would chop melons and vegetables all the way and continue to challenge fate with high-IQ cheating, the director arranged a dilemma for the protagonist-
It wasn't until the male protagonist Xiaoban who wanted to hit him reported that the classmates who changed papers with Xiao Lin cheated, and Xiao Lin was also invited to the principal's office.
There was no evidence at first, and the audience had just breathed a sigh of relief for Xiao Lin, when the principal accidentally found evidence from scratch paper.
Cheating real hammer!
The father was also invited to the school, and his disbelief in his eyes made Xiao Lin break the defense, and the lip gun fought back to expose the hypocrisy of the school and offend the principal, not only was the scholarship and tuition waived, but also lost the opportunity to participate in the competition to guarantee admission to the top universities.
When the father and daughter came home, a fierce quarrel broke out, and the father insisted that Xiao Lin return the "tuition" to other classmates, and decided to sell the car to pay the tuition for Xiao Lin.
Seeing the tears of her distressed father left by the heroine on the screen, Yin Youyou seemed to empathize, both aggrieved and disappointed - aggrieved by the rules of the adult world, and disappointed by the rules of the adult world.
The movie scene transitions to the restaurant of the second woman's boyfriend's house, and the second woman is asking Xiao Lin to help her cheat in order to pass the SBD international exam; As long as she and her boyfriend pass successfully, they can get 100,000 yuan, which is enough to make up for her tuition fees and lost scholarships.
But her father's disappointment was not without effect, and Xiao Lin did not give an answer.
The scene cuts to her coming out of the elevator and going down the stairs, and when she goes down to the bottom of the stairs, she suddenly stops and looks at a mirror next to her, which is an infinitely extended mirror reflection.
- Yin Youyou felt that this scene had a deep meaning, but he didn't have time to think deeply, so he followed the lens of the movie to see how Xiao Lin completed the psychological transformation from rejection to acceptance.
Xiao Lin first left a note of "I'm sorry, I can't help you" at the front desk to the second female, and then turned around and went home.
But in front of the house, seeing her father groveling in order to sell the car for as high a price as possible pierced her heart.
How could she be comfortable leaving her father alone to bear the consequences of her incurrery?
The dappled light and shadow hit half of Xiao Lin's face, she turned around, the shadow covered the whole face, and returned to the front desk of the restaurant to take back the rejected note.
While waiting at the front desk, Xiao Lin was reminded by a transnational call from a foreigner next to her, and when she saw the world time on the wall, she seemed to think of something.
At this point, the film's soundtrack is hopeful, and the camera pushes to a clock that shows the Australian time.
She burst out with the idea of using the time difference to cheat across borders.
The pace of the film picks up suddenly.
A familiar and unfamiliar scene appeared to the audience.
Familiar because - just like in many high-IQ crime films, a seamless crime plan requires a strong team to implement, Xiao Lin has also formed a cheating team that includes all kinds of experts:
The rich second generation who is eloquent and responsible for selling and explaining cheating schemes to customers;
The second female who understands computers and is responsible for typesetting and printing the answers on the pencil;
Fly to Australia for the exam, each person memorizes half of the correct answers, and then transmits them back to Xiaolin and Xiaoban in China......
It's strange because - this campus cheating film is really getting more and more high-end!
The hardest to recruit is the small class of integrity.
But on the one hand, the old equipment used in his dilapidated small breakfast shop was broken, and he had no money to buy new ones, and his business was getting worse and worse; On the other hand, he was beaten by unknown and thrown into a deserted garbage dump, where he missed the competition exam to secure admission to a top university.
Under Xiao Lin's persuasion of "even if you don't cheat, the world will still deceive you", a once upright young man turned his back on his principles.
At this point, the "censorship" plot that was interspersed from the beginning to the middle of the movie was unveiled by the director, and it turned out that this was the countermeasure of the cheating gang after the cheating was caught in the rehearsal.
The theater resounded with the exclamations of the audience clapping their hands.
Luo Jianzhou also pursed his lips, which was also beyond his expectations, this film is too TM to play!
And there are turns in the transitions.
After the team's preparation had just made substantial progress, the rich second generation accidentally leaked out the bad things he had done to Xiaoban, which made him lose his mind.
Xiaoban crossed the table and directly knocked down the rich second generation, and launched a crazy beating, and on the way, he reluctantly stopped because he injured Xiao Lin, who persuaded him to fight.
He picked up the rich second generation and shouted out the words that were pressed in his heart with a crying voice: "I am the only one with my mother, she got up early in the morning to buy breakfast for me to study, and her hair was gray. My dream is to give my mother a good life, and going to college is my only way out, what about you, ruined all my hopes, what kind of onion are you! ”
As for the rich second generation, he just begged: "If I don't pass this exam, my dad won't spare me, beg you not to go, okay?" ”
The whole movie theater was solemn.
In the small corner where Luo Jianzhou is located, the person who feels this scene the most deeply is not Luo Jianzhou, who is from a wealthy background, nor the youthful Yin Youyou, but the most inconspicuous reporter Lao Liu.
This is the saddest scene for him in the whole movie so far.
He is also from a small town, and he knows that there are too few opportunities left for the bottom in this world.
If what happened to the male protagonist in the movie happened to him...... You just lost the opportunity to change your fate, but what I lost was my father's favor!
Ma's, the heart of murder is gone!
What's even more desperate is that the male protagonist hasn't been chosen.
Xiao Lin completely lost her trust in the team and decided to abandon this mission.
However, the turning point came very quickly.
Xiaoban, who left angrily, saw a billboard with "complete kitchen equipment", and he stood still, his anger slowly dissipating.
Xiao Lin chased him out and met the returning Xiao Ban at the overpass.
The shot gives a profound composition -
Xiao Lin, who has given up on the cheating plan, is on the left, facing the traffic light with a green arrow below; The small class you want to continue is on the right, with a red cross traffic light underneath.
The victim's Koban in turn convinces Xiao Lin, who had just given up, to take her responsibility for being dragged into the water.
Eventually, the two got on a flight to Australia and embarked on a journey with an uncertain future.
Before the war, a very calm scene was given to the two of them to see the scenery, which also made the audience feel comfortable with their emotions.
Luo Jianzhou was sitting precariously, and he realized that the climax of the movie was ahead.
Wang Wei has already paved all the plot contradictions with a genius before, and has also accumulated the tension in the audience's hearts to a critical point, how can he make the climax more exciting?
This climax is not brilliant, how amazing the front is, how bad the ending is.
Everyone waited with bated breath.
I don't know how many twists and turns this movie has come again.
The two were just about to get ready to go, but they didn't expect that the exam questions would be leaked this time, and the invigilator would be more vigilant than before.
Before entering the test room, go into the toilet and hide your phone as planned.
The music was rendered, and Xiao Lin entered the examination room with a pencil in hand, like a soldier carrying a sword to the battlefield.
There are four phases to the exam.
The first stage is the familiar music rendering, with the fast-paced editing, the two can be regarded as having completed the task without danger.
In the second stage, the unexpected appeared.
The small class took too long to send answers in the toilet, which aroused the suspicion of the invigilator. And he was like a rookie who had just debuted, panicked, and finally broke the flush cover in a panic, and even wanted to flush his phone down the drain and was caught!
And Xiao Lin, who hid the toilet position of the mobile phone, was occupied in advance, but forcibly calmed down, like a well-trained agent.
However, the tactics and strategies laid out in the second stage were all ineffective.
In the third and fourth stages, Xiao Lin was the only one who fought alone.
Not only does she have to memorize the answers that were not given in the previous stage, but she also has to write down all the answers in the third and fourth stages by herself.
Under tremendous pressure, Xiao Lin suddenly associates the answer with the familiar piano - she imagines a space that does not exist in a strong tense atmosphere; Every time I memorize an answer, it's a piece of music played in another space – a very advanced psychological montage.
At this time, the film narrative has been divided into three lines in parallel:
Xiao Lin recorded the answers in the Australian examination room;
Candidates wait for answers in domestic printing houses;
Xiao Lin's father is looking for his daughter according to the address on the printed sheet.
Cross-editing, layer-enhancing and three-line staggering.
The critical step came, Xiao Lin used a pen to induce vomiting, pretended to be sick and exited the examination room early.
At this time, the two lines in China intersected in parallel, and Xiao Lin's father found the printing house and forced Xiao Lin to find her whereabouts.
On the other side, Xiao Lin escaped from the examination room, and the invigilator kept chasing, and the three lines were staggered.
Focusing on Xiao Lin's actions, through cross-editing, the scene switches back and forth between the subway and the printing house in parallel time.
The father who was deceived by love lies, the lost time, the aggressive chase of the invigilator, the surrounding environment that interfered with memory, the running out of printer paper, and the roaring army of test delivery teams...... This, coupled with the suffocating music, creates an immersive sense of fear and tension for the audience.
In the audience, many viewers were really nervous and couldn't breathe, and the anxiety and heart-wrenching index exploded.
It wasn't until Xiao Lin finished passing on the answer and wittily used vomiting snacks to pretend to be sick to dispel the invigilator's suspicions, that everyone's hearts fell.
Luo Jianzhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but it was so loud that an echo sounded.
He was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it was because most of the audience was relieved almost at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Luo Jianzhou smiled and smiled, turning into a wry smile.
The examination room was filmed as a battlefield, cheating was filmed as a tactic, and the chase between candidates and teachers was filmed as a spy hunt...... While maintaining a certain level of expectation, he was still really amazed.
For the first time, he deeply admired Wang Wei's brain hole!
Although the movie is not over yet, such feelings linger in the hearts of almost every audience.
Yin Youyou exploded for the second time: "My goddess and his man, it's awesome!" ”
Reporter Lao Liu is mourning in silence for his media colleagues, hurry up and apologize to Wang Wei, don't struggle!
He's awesome!
