China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 11 The premiere of "Comet" (7500-word chapter) (contains movie spoilers)

He Yunfeng was a staff member of an advertising company. With a tired look on his face, he opened the door with the key and returned to his rental house in Jiangcheng.

I washed my face, put the fried noodles I bought in the plastic bag on the plate, slumped down on the chair, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, and turned on the computer at the same time.

Speaking of fatigue, it is not fatigue caused by excessive mental exertion, but fatigue caused by fishing.

Catching fish is not easy either.

You said that your advertising company also imitates Internet companies and engages in 996. Are you worthy?

Human energy is limited. Even if you have 4 extra hours of working time every day, the human brain will not work for 4 more hours. In fact, the real effective working time of a normal person in a day generally does not exceed 5 hours.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. You extend the time and I reduce the efficiency. He Yunfeng has mastered the three flavors of it. He has become a fishing master within a few years of graduation.

It is said that fishing is happy, but a trace of confusion about future career development seriously eroded his happiness of fishing, so he became more and more eager to seek spiritual solace on the Internet.

When I first started working, I still insisted on going to the gym after get off work. After all, I was not married yet. My girlfriend I dated from college broke up after graduation. When singles are looking for a partner, physical fitness is also very important. At least the beer belly should be hidden as much as possible.

Now He Yunfeng has a "tired, destroy it" attitude towards "healthy lifestyle".

The heroine and her boyfriend Zhang Wei also reached a deadlock because of his ambiguity with his ex-girlfriend.

The heroine reacted first.

In the movie, everyone calmed down and began to study the photos in the box.

The heroine writes down the names of everyone and the corresponding numbers behind the photos in the book one by one, trying to find out if there are any patterns or the meaning of the numbers themselves.

"In other words, your brother thinks that Miller's Comet will put us in the state of Schrödinger's Cat? We are in the box now, and we are the cat? So... So there are two states at the same time? Two separate ones

Reality?"

This is a perfect world.

The sudden power outage caught everyone off guard, so they quickly found a candle and lit it on the dining table.

Under the quiet night sky, accompanied by the poignant soundtrack, the heroine passed by identical buildings and windows one after another, looking at the different situations of eight identical people inside the windows.

And the best way to accurately locate yourself among countless selves and countless houses and not let yourself get lost is to mark yourself!

When He Yunfeng saw this, he suddenly realized that the photos of each person in the box and the numbers behind the photos were used for marking.

"Maybe they've got it now!"

"...It's also possible that everyone is in peace with each other? Then isn't there something else written on it about quantum decoherence? The two states continue to exist, but they are separate and irrelevant to each other, and each one will create a new reality?"

"Even after you go, what will you do? Do you want to have contact with...them?"

There were also five people opposite, four men and one woman. The dark light made it impossible to distinguish the specific faces.

A few friends were chatting while preparing food.

"This director is very suitable for making horror movies."

Although everyone was still confused, the call again gave everyone a sense of security.

A woman who believes deeply in Feng Shui is trying to recommend enzymes to her friends.

"Gravity: An Introduction to Research Trends"

Everyone started arguing over each other's words.

"Zhang Wei?"

The two people who brought the box back were vague about how they went out. Among them, the boy who found the box seemed to be frightened and kept hesitating. Under the urging of the extremely uneasy people, he told what he saw and heard.

"Can we think twice before doing anything stupid? Are we Schrödinger's cat or a decoherent parallel universe?"

Wow! How many times have I watched TV dramas and classic movies that will never come back again? The barrage of sand sculptures accumulated over the years will be wiped out in a flash, and I feel heartbroken!

Under He Yunfeng's disdainful gaze, the short animation cutscene of Fantasy World Network ended.

In the constant quarrels and doubts, everyone falls into negative emotions.

The background of the photo is the wall facing the window!

This caused everyone to panic even more. Some people speculated that someone was secretly taking photos outside the window, but this was immediately denied because he was facing the camera in the photo. Judging from the distance in the photo, the person who took the photo must be standing in the house.

He Yunfeng, who has been tested in horror movies for many years, feels that the atmosphere created by the movie is very good. From this point of view alone, it is much better than many horror and ghost-themed movies.

The hostess came in.

Science fiction, suspense, brain-burning.

Although everyone noticed the broken cup in the movie, they didn't pay much attention to it. Someone suggested going out to see if there was a power outage in the entire community and asking the property management company if they knew the cause of the power outage.

But everyone opposed him going out alone again.

The violent knocking on the door suddenly reminded me!

After saying that, the boy took out a pen and paper and started writing.

There is no doubt that even if you don't accept the ridiculous information told by the boy who just returned, the contents of the box alone are enough to make people's hair stand on end.

Everyone agreed to go out to see Miller's Comet, which was predicted by the news.

"Yes! The key is books. Without books, they won't think of Schrödinger's Cat as irrelevant!"

Suddenly there was another knock on the door, once again causing everyone to panic.

"...Give me your key, and I'll get the books from their car."

The heroine revealed a strange story she had seen online that was caused by the passing of a comet.

After the digital marking, the heroine, who thought she should be foolproof, suddenly found out in other people's conversations that she was no longer in the original team.

"What if the comet passes by? Will the two states collapse back into a single event? Will I and...the other me merge together? Or...will one of them disappear?"

Reminiscent of the movie label, um, could it be a superpower?

There was only one candle in the dim room, the shadowy faces of the people, and a sudden knock on the door.

What the hell!?

He Yunfeng began to really find this movie interesting.

The exact same handwriting on two identical notes flashed alternately, accompanied by the weird sound effects of the horror engine (the horror engine and the water piano are two instruments commonly used for sound effects in horror films), and Zhang Wei's trembling voice, which was enough to

Create a creepy atmosphere.

He Yunfeng chewed the food in his mouth and raised his eyebrows slightly.

I glanced at the up owner under the video playback box, the official account of Huanshi.com.

This plot that took place in a dark environment made He Yunfeng feel like he was watching a horror movie.

The heroine's boyfriend Zhang Wei found a kitchen knife from the kitchen, bravely opened the door and found no one outside.

Back in the movie, everyone else also understood this logic, and the air fell into a silence of fear and confusion.

"The feeling of suspense comes out."

One person stood up and expressed his opposition because his brother, a university physics professor, had previously sent him a text message saying that strange things might happen when the comet passed by, and asked them to stay in the house and not go out at will.

Zhang Wei couldn't hold back his emotions and went out with everyone to check. He found that the window of the car with the document bag had been broken, but at this time the heroine returned to her car and gave her boyfriend in the car a gift.

He put the ring on his finger.

I also brought back a small box.

Two boys who went out to borrow candles never returned, and everyone argued over whether to go out to look for them.

"I'm going to kill them!"

"Can you fucking calm down, you idiot! If you want to do this, do you know who you have to deal with first? You have to deal with yourself first! You will bump into yourself! Maybe you in that house are also holding

There's a kitchen knife waiting for you!" Zhang Wei, the heroine's boyfriend, shouted angrily.

The male host took the key and left the room, leaving only the other seven people looking at each other.

"Hi, hello, I don't mean to scare you, my phone is broken, I just want to...borrow your phone..."

Start a game or station C?

After hesitating for two seconds, He Yunfeng opened Station C, a famous barrage website.

He Yunfeng felt a little cold on his back.

The playback page appears.

His eyes were immediately attracted by a line of small words under the poster.

The title and logo of DreamWorks have not yet been filmed and require a lot of effort. Chen Jingxing plans to use them in his next real screen movie.

Chain of suspicion!

Although there is no "Three Body" in this plane, so He Yunfeng did not blurt out the "Law of the Dark Forest", but he also understands the logic of the chain of suspicion.

Due to demands from major shareholders and multiple lawsuits from other long-form video platforms over the past year, Station C had to make up its mind to move from the shadows of gray to the poker table.

The mouse cursor stopped above this line of small characters and clicked on it.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell into silence.

"...I saw a window on the first floor of that building with a light on...that window...I walked closer and saw through the window..."

A girl's boyfriend has something he wants to discuss before attending a friend's party with her.

"Hi, hello. I don't mean to scare you. My phone is broken. I just want to borrow your phone for 5 minutes at most. Thank you very much."

Looking at herself in that room, smiling like a flower and happily with her boyfriend, a trace of murderous intention came to her heart. She broke the glass of the car window, led everyone out, and drugged her other self when she got into the car to get the ring.

Stun him and then "make up" himself to go to the party.

Then there was another knock on the door. After opening the door in a wary mood, I found that the two boys who borrowed the candles were back.

The heroine, on the other hand, tends to think that it is a parallel universe and a quantum decoherence. After the comet passes, they will continue to be separated from each other and have nothing to do with each other.

As soon as the heroine closed the car door, she found Zhang Wei standing next to the car. The heroine begged her boyfriend to make peace, hoping that the two of them would forget the unpleasantness that had just happened in the house, but she found that Zhang Wei had no memory of the dispute she said.

But when she was copying the numbers, she was horrified to find that the handwriting on the numbers behind the photo was almost exactly the same as her own handwriting.

But this movie exceeded He Yunfeng's expectations in every way, tempting him to eagerly pursue the truth of the incident, and letting him feel a bit like when he first read a detective novel in his childhood. It has been a long time since a movie like this could arouse him in such a way.

A curious movie.

"So, it's possible that I will disappear?"

He Yunfeng looked dull outside the computer screen. Why is this quantum mechanics? He has heard of Schrödinger's cat. What is decoherence? Is this a movie?

"...a dining table."

There is a book in the document bag.

Zhang Wei's voice was trembling and he lost the courage to read on.

The scene shifted to the house.

In the movie, none of the other seven people could accept this extreme idea.

These key pieces of information planted some questions in He Yunfeng's mind, and these questions gave him some expectations for the next plot.

The movie didn't end here. The next morning, the heroine woke up and went out and met her boyfriend Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei's cell phone rang and found that the phone number was actually from the heroine. Zhang Wei continued

While on the phone, he looked at the heroine in confusion.

"Wait, we shouldn't act blindly, it's too risky! We shouldn't go out again."

A broken cup.

He Yunfeng was a little confused when he saw this. Why were several people in the movie silent? Is there anything wrong with this sentence?

Some are quarreling with each other, some are fighting, some rooms are empty, some people are in a cold war, and some are confronting each other.

"Did the switch just trip? Why is it so dark outside?"

Open Station C, and on the homepage, in the quiet night sky, there is a light point that is brighter than all the stars, dragging a brilliant white comet tail.

Another boy also discovered the problem with his photo. The clothes he was wearing in the photo were exactly the same as what he is wearing now, and the long-sleeved T-shirt he was wearing was just bought this morning.

After the heroine escaped back to the room, she calmed down and discussed with everyone why someone broke the car window.

Although everyone does not understand quantum mechanics, they can all understand the process and results described in this paragraph in the notes.

A crisp clicking sound.

Although these small talk that did not seem to advance the plot seemed a bit boring, He Yunfeng watched the movie well and received several obvious foreshadowings that the director wanted to convey from the conversations between the heroine and her friends.

"We have already taken away the document bag in the car! The document bag is in the back seat of the car and can be seen through the window? Why bother?"

Everyone is anxious and uneasy, and their negative emotions are constantly amplified.

The boy suddenly remembered that his brother had left a document bag in his car a few days ago, so he went out with another boy to retrieve the document bag from his car.

Frustrated with her relationship with her boyfriend, confused about finding her own place, being attacked by breaking into the house, endless accusations and quarrels, the heroine quietly left the room.

"No, I will write a note, saying that my mobile phone has no signal and I want to borrow a mobile phone to contact my brother. After I knock on the door, I will stick the note on the door. I will retreat outside and observe secretly, depending on the situation.

I just need to borrow a mobile phone before making a decision for development. This reason is very reasonable."

After everyone's discussion, everyone finally discovered that they were not in Schrödinger's cat's box, but in a box in a parallel universe of quantum decoherence. Different decisions at every moment would give birth to a branch, not just two.

They only have two states, and there are countless of them wandering around.

Could it be some kind of love movie? He Yunfeng, who had a sense of déjà vu, immediately came up with this idea.

"Quantum mechanics tells us that Schrödinger's cat is in a superposition of two states, life and death. Only when you open the box do the two states collapse into a single event, but there is another theory: the two states continue

exist, but are separated from each other and have nothing to do with each other. Based on these two results, each will create a new reality, and quantum decoherence ensures that there will no longer be any difference between these two different results.

interaction."

"Are you talking about parallel universes?"

"According to the description of Schrödinger's cat, the moment the box is opened, there will only be one certain outcome between life and death."

The price paid was that He Yunfeng's source of happiness and spiritual food was deleted, and the vast white ground was so clean.

These strange things have left everyone at a loss. Some people think that they cannot sit still and wait for death. Instead of being suspicious and making all kinds of unreliable guesses here, it is better for everyone to go out together to find out what is going on with the other group of them in another building?

It seems like the power outage was obviously caused by tripping. Why is it still dark outside? What happened?

Because Station C finally welcomed Series C financing.

The heroine's boyfriend Zhang Weizhuang dared to open the door to check and found nothing unusual. Everyone was in a false alarm. The male owner of the house got up and checked the electrical box. After turning the switch back on, the lights came on again.

"This movie is really... wow, the director is really a genius."

"There was food and drink on the table... there were eight people sitting at the table... eight of us."

There are a few pages tucked into the book, which are his brother's class outline notes.

He Yunfeng has been completely attracted by the plot after plot. Just as one accident subsided, another unexpected appeared. He could not guess the next plot of the movie at all. Every twist and turn was beyond his expectation.

.

He Yunfeng, who was in front of the computer, also felt like his brain was being shocked by electricity.

"Even if it's possible, I don't want to take this risk!"

At this time, the boy who said he saw himself wanted to see the building again and the familiar window on the first floor. He was also looking for excuses to convince himself that it might be an illusion caused by his fear. If not, he would

Need to confirm again.

In the midst of the panic, a loud noise made everyone frightened again.

By rolling the dice, marking each person with a random number, and then putting the combination of numbers into the box, which is equivalent to double marking, each person can determine whether he is on the "right" team by comparing his own number with the others' numbers.

middle.

But He Yunfeng's happiness came to an abrupt end last month.

The remaining people in the house were waiting for the two boys to return while discussing matters related to Miller's Comet.

"I...it was a little dark outside, so I kept walking forward...and then I saw another building."

The sound of conversation came from the slowly focused picture. The girl was on the phone while driving. From a few words, it was possible to tell that the person on the other end of the phone was probably her boyfriend.

Although Huanshi.com has opened up some free film and television resources to Station C, it still cannot make up for He Yunfeng's losses.

"What exactly did you see?"

"I can't hear you."

"Listen to me, I can't risk them getting the book you know! ... Oh my god, this is me, this is who I am, you know? This is who I am!! This is what I think! I have to

Strike first to gain the upper hand!"

Of course, what they have in common is that they are basically pirated resources.

In addition to supporting Station C to use the funds raised in this round to purchase a batch of animation copyrights that are relatively cheap in China, Huanshi.com also opened an account at Station C to sell some of its own copyrighted movies and TV series for free.

Uploading can be regarded as helping C to stand firm during the pain of transformation.

"Are you going to the left? That should be Building No. 7, we are Building No. 8." The hostess of the house replied.

The pseudo-documentary style shooting technique greatly increases the sense of reality, and the sense of reality has a great additive effect on the horror plot.

The other seven people were stunned by his words!

The topic turned to the heroine's mobile phone screen being broken and there was no signal.

"Tell me what you saw!"

There are photos of eight people in the box, with different numbers on the backs of the photos.

He Yunfeng was also frightened, so why did he have the idea of ​​murder?

But then I thought about it, if I bring myself in, if the whole event is Schrödinger's cat, after the box is opened, the two simultaneous states will collapse into one result. The current self may disappear, and the other self will become myself?

The heroine soon discovered that the photos of him and her boyfriend Zhang Wei were a group photo, cut into two halves, and the group photo was in her bag.

"Book!"

Back to the movie, everyone remembered that one of the boys said that his brother was a physics professor and had warned him in advance to stay home and not go out when the comet passed by. They asked the boy if his brother had any other explanations about the comet.

.

The man seemed unable to even accept his own words, his expression was mixed with confusion and fear.

"Then we just do nothing here? Resign ourselves to fate? Wait for the box to open?!"

In the movie, this weird and terrifying statement was naturally unacceptable to everyone. The heroine's boyfriend suspected that it was the two of them who just knocked on the door violently, and everyone had another dispute over this.

This website was He Yunfeng's happy base when he was in college. He loved comics and animation and read almost all the popular comics, animations and comic-adapted movies from the United States and Yingdao during his four years in college. He even watched them on site C later.

Regarding movies and TV series, it can be said that a certain network disk meets half of his spiritual needs, while Station C meets the other half of his spiritual needs.

"Heh... hit a stick and give me a sweet date."

"Not necessarily. Anyway, maybe we can give it a try first!"

For example, the male owner of the house claims to be a drama actor and has starred in a TV series, but the ex-girlfriend of the heroine's boyfriend insists that he has watched the TV series and thinks that the male protagonist in the TV series does not look like him.

The five heroines met others and themselves.

He Yunfeng felt goosebumps spread from his back to his arms.

The core of the problem returns to the photos of the people in the box and the numbers behind the photos.

In the process of searching, the heroine finally found a warm version of reality. Everyone in the window was enjoying themselves, there were no quarrels or confrontations, and there was no emotional rift between her and her boyfriend Zhang Wei.

"Bang bang bang bang"

The heroine suddenly discovered that her mobile phone screen had several cracks.

Zhang Wei's work has to be transferred to another city, but the heroine is hesitant about whether to go to another city with him. This is also what Zhang Wei and the heroine discuss at the beginning of the film. During the dispute, the relationship between the heroine and her boyfriend begins.

rupture.

"No, we can't take risks. Maybe after the comet passes, the box will be opened and it will collapse into them? How can we ensure that we are the definite result after the box is opened? No, I can't accept it. I am the only one who really exists and should disappear.

It’s them!”

The male owner of the house who had the intention to kill and wanted to kill another of his own also reflected it like He Yunfeng off-screen: "He also wants to kill me? Yes, he is another me. We have the same thinking logic, the same

Character, oh my God!”

But everyone in the movie and He Yunfeng outside the computer screen no longer had any doubts.

The night the comet came.

Speaking of station C, this poor station is also one of the reasons why He Yunfeng has been depressed recently.

The four boys and the heroine were groping their way in the darkness, but they bumped into several other figures halfway along the way.

Not only were everyone in the room frightened during the movie, but even He Yunfeng was startled.

"Calm down, they are exactly the same as us, they are us! Can you do it to the other self? I can't do it anyway!"

Even horror movies have their usual routines. Audiences like He Yunfeng who watch enough movies can often guess the development of the plot. They can even predict when the scary scenes will appear, although they are still inevitable.

will be frightened.

Has anyone been in the room? He Yunfeng, who has watched a lot of movies, quickly came up with various guesses.

Later at the dinner table, everyone's chatting led to the conflict between the heroine and her boyfriend. The screens of other people's mobile phones also shattered strangely, and they all lost the signal. Everyone started talking about the news forecast that there would be a comet passing by today.

topic.

She had long been lost. It turned out that the house she came back to every time she went out was not the same house.

When He Yunfeng thought about it, it was not completely impossible for him to have murderous intention towards his other self.

"When I came up with the idea of ​​killing them, he probably had the same idea! You wanted to leave a note before, and the note also appeared outside my door!"

The male owner of the house couldn't accept it. He believed that he was Schrödinger's cat. Once the comet's transit was over, only one of the two could exist.

In this round of financing, Huanshi.com, the leader in domestic long-form video platforms, became the site’s major shareholder.

Or a ghost? After all, this is the traditional configuration of the Internet University.

"Hello?"

The title of the movie is The Night the Comet Came, which is a good point? What strange things will comets cause?

Although everyone was a little uneasy, the male owner of the house pointed out that there were almost no power outages in this community, so they did not prepare enough candles. There was only one candle on the dining table and a flashlight. The light was not enough to clear the table and wash the dishes.

It's not very convenient, so I suggest you go out to the community and buy some candles, a flashlight, or borrow some candles.

This statement not only made everyone in the movie a little uneasy, but also made He Yunfeng curious.

The heroine finally realized that the Zhang Wei in front of her was not her boyfriend Zhang Wei.

The discussion about the broken mobile phone screen led to the fact that the ex-girlfriend of the heroine’s boyfriend will also come to the party.

Of course, Huanshi.com, as the majority shareholder of station C, is not in a panic because of the money, nor does it want to directly kill this new recruit.

The strong fear drove the five heroines to run back in panic and returned to the room.

"You also have this document bag in your car!"

Looking at his face reflected on the black screen, He Yunfeng let out a sigh of relief. He had not experienced this kind of enjoyable movie-watching experience for a long time.

But He Yunfeng was somewhat of a movie fan, and he watched a lot of movies, so he immediately responded: "Oh my god!"

"Is this the impact of a comet?"

The title is "Decoherence and Schrödinger's Cat".

Although the girls were firmly against it, the heroine was worried about her boyfriend Zhang Wei and went out with the boys with the intention of dying together, leaving only three girls in the house.

The video ends here.

There's just a note on the back of the door!

Zhang Wei took off the note with trembling hands and read the contents above in the silence of everyone.

"Why are they smashing the windows? It doesn't make sense?"

The sight of the beautiful comet streaking across the night sky amazed everyone. After returning to the room, a close-up of the comet cheered up He Yunfeng.

After the discussion, we sent two boys out to borrow candles and inquire about the situation.

Quickly drag the progress bar back to the beginning, he wants to read it again!

After reviewing it in detail, I found that it was still too long and the word count was too high, so some parts of the second half of the movie were omitted.

But without such a narration of the film’s content from the audience’s perspective, it would feel a little less enjoyable.

I will think carefully about it later to see if I can control the word count while also reflecting the audience’s perception of the film’s content while watching the movie.

The main reason is that it is really difficult to summarize and describe the plot of "Comet", and the movies chosen later will be much better.
