Chapter 319 The comet cracked!

The night sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with diamond-like stars. The dazzling comet drags a long tail, and the dust-like light tail stretches across the stars, sweeping through the dark clouds, and the tail part separates into

The warm colors seem to have set up a slender rainbow, turning into a gorgeous ribbon.

Lu Xiao and his girlfriend Yu Xiaoling were sitting in the movie theater with few people around, looking at the dreamlike picture on the big screen in ecstasy.

This scene reminded Lu Xiao of Chen Jingxing's debut film "The Night the Comet Came". In that movie, there is a scene near the end where the heroine looks up at the night sky in confusion and sorrow, and a comet streaks across the dark curtain.

picture.

Lu Xiao always believed that that shot and the ethereal music that sounded at that moment were the highlight of the entire movie. He also began to pay attention to Chen Jingxing, a fledgling young director, after watching "Comet" and gradually became a loyal fan of Chen Jingxing.

That scene has been deeply engraved in his mind. Even after watching Chen Jingxing and even so many movies from DreamWorks, they can't erase the touch that that moment had on his soul.

In his mind, what can be compared with the classic scene in "Comet" is that in "Fatal Identity" the male protagonist wakes up and looks at the broken lens at his feet, and in "Source Code" the male and female protagonist end up under the dazzling bright sun.

The kiss in front of the high-speed train window, and the Tiangong-2 that the heroine was riding on at the end of "Gravity" disintegrated, and the escape capsule and other detached parts turned into meteors streaking across the blue planet.

In Lu Xiao's view, Chen Jingxing is always good at using such striking shots or images to sublimate the entire story in the film in an instant and directly penetrate the hearts of the audience.

And now, at this moment, he found the familiar throbbing in an animation. This is obviously just a small and refreshing movie about the hazy love of boys and girls. Maybe the process is fantasy, and they will be like a dream from time to time.

Generally, they travel into the other person's body, and they are like happy enemies. Due to their differences in personality and gender, they use the other person's body to gain different life experiences.

And in this fresh, daily, and relaxed body exchange, the male and female protagonists' affection for each other also sprouts and takes root in the darkness, making movie fans like Lu Xiao who watch a lot of movies laugh again and again.

vaguely aware of it.

And in the first forty minutes of the typical "light comedy" plot of a boy and a girl swapping bodies, the emotions that gradually grew up were ignited by the extremely gorgeous dark night comet in front of them, and attracted not many viewers in the theater.

Infected by this young man's vague love, a raw emotion surged out of my heart.

Then at the same moment, they looked up at the night sky and echoed each other.

"It's a pity that it's just an animation..." Lu Xiao feels that DreamWorks is completely capable of making idol dramas. This method of quietly rendering the youthful and ignorant love that can make people's hearts palpitate under the light and daily plot is comparable to what's available on the market.

Most romance-themed film and television dramas are much better.

The separated star seemed to be a passenger thrown away by a comet. It broke away from the comet's tail, changed its trajectory across the sky, and entered the atmosphere in a steeper parabolic trajectory.

The setting of "men and women penetrating each other's bodies" in the trailer and the first forty minutes of this animated film is simply a deception.

Girlfriend Yu Xiaoling also suddenly recovered from the previous emotion and looked at the sudden turn of the plot in confusion: "What's going on? What's wrong with Comet?"

"Fuck! Absolutely awesome!" At this moment, Lu Xiao felt an electric current running from his tailbone to sparks and lightning, making his body tremble: "I know!"

"Is this the comet predicted on TV to pass by the Earth?"

Lu Xiao looked at his girlfriend's expression, which seemed to have realized something, and confirmed: "Because that was the past! Before the movie, there was news on the TV at the male protagonist's side that it was a comet two years ago, and there was also news on the TV at the heroine's home.

There was a comet broadcast, but none of us realized that they were talking about a comet! The exchange of bodies between the male and female protagonists was not at the same time and space at all! It was two years apart!"

DreamWorks is really good at depicting this kind of teenage love and ambiguity in such an unconventional way. Although the movie is only less than halfway through, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is not abrupt.

After a "ding" sound effect that instantly lifted the spirits of all the audience, the giant screen fell into a black screen for a moment. When it lit up again, the screen came to the Magic City. The male protagonist was holding a mobile phone on the side of a busy road, with a look on his face.

Full of confusion and confusion like the audience in front of the screen.

The sparse audience in the giant screen hall also made noisy noises. Obviously, the dramatic turn of the plot also exceeded most people's expectations. They were unprepared and unable to realize what the changes in the picture meant. Most people were confused.

Confused.

On the screen, more and more children and adults walked out of the enclosed houses and looked up at the brightest and most beautiful star in the night sky.

Yu Xiaoling couldn't care less about continuing to pay attention to the male protagonist on the screen: "What's wrong? What do you know?"

Just like watching "The Night the Comet Came" and realizing the existence of parallel universes, watching "Fatal Identity" and discovering that the characters who staged Agatha's suspense plot in the hotel are not real people.

"The reason why it is an empty number is because the heroine has died a long time ago!" Lu Xiao continued to explain softly and quickly amidst his girlfriend's shock: "The comet split off and fell into the atmosphere. The black screen in the final scene must mean

The meteorite hit the village where the heroine lives."

“So beautiful!”

He was so moved that he swallowed back the desire to communicate that suddenly arose. He didn't want to talk about his first love.

It's like opening a blind box and discovering a surprise.

Chen Jingxing, of course DreamWorks will not just make an ordinary science fiction movie, even a relatively novel one.

Empty number?

This kind of plot that is completely beyond reality, but also very romantic, makes Lu Xiao seem to have regained the youthful touch he had in his student days.

The repeated reminders from the female voice from the mobile phone made the ideas flashing rapidly in Lu Xiao's brain explode like fireworks.

Lu Xiao once again turned his brain, which had been dulled by the relaxed routine of the first forty minutes of the movie, and felt that the truth was close before his eyes.

Now he was reminded of the feeling of first love in an animated movie. He looked down at the arm around him and stared at the picture seriously. It seemed that his girlfriend was also touched by this beautiful plot.

This is basically a new movie in the "Signal" series, and the core of science fiction is still playing with the concept of time and space.

On one side are girls who live thousands of miles away in a Hakka earthen house full of ancient Chinese customs.

It happened to be that the heroine and her friends walked out of the Hakka house and remembered the date she arranged for the hero when she "went into the male protagonist's body". She should be happy for the hero, but she felt sour again. She was dazzled while looking up at the starry sky.

The comet shocked me, and the throbbing emotions in my heart turned into tears and broke through my eyes. It broke through the veil of the first forty minutes of the movie, which was suppressed in the wonderful but relaxed daily plot, and also infected the audience in front of the screen.

.

Lu Xiao's eyes reflected the heroine's stunned look, as well as the red stars, and his mouth opened wider and wider.

"So beautiful..."

The male protagonist is in the future! The female protagonist is in the past!

This is a...a "Signal"!

But he still underestimated, or was misled into ignoring, DreamWorks’ ability to “turn things around”.

Who doesn’t have youth?

This is a uniquely oriental youthful love between boys and girls.

On one side are middle school boys living in a modern metropolis.

Two boys and girls who are far apart, exchange bodies in a wonderful dream, and thus develop feelings for each other in a novel and interesting life experience, while borrowing notebooks and smartphone notepads to communicate.

It seems that part of the star fell from it.

Moreover, after the male protagonist on the other side of the magic city rejected the romantic love offered to him by the female protagonist's "upper body", he also thought of the female protagonist under the night sky illuminated by neon lights. He picked up his mobile phone and prepared to make a call. The male protagonist had long been familiar with it but never

Number not attempted to contact.

At this time, Lu Xiao's brain felt as if it had been completely washed by toilet water. He was sober and excited as never before.

"But, the male and female protagonists exchanged bodies the day before, and even if the female protagonist dies, it will not be an empty account. At most, it will prompt to shut down the phone..." Yu Xiaoling still didn't understand, but in the process of retorting

I gradually realized something.

"How could it be an empty number?" My girlfriend Yu Xiaoling said in confusion: "Isn't this the number the male protagonist got when he swapped bodies with the female protagonist? There can't be a mistake, right?"

A bright spot suddenly appeared on the comet's dazzling head.

He also always thought that the sci-fi label in "Your Name" refers to "swapping bodies" - in fact, Hollywood has made some romantic comedy movies about this, but this is the first time this setting has been used in a Chinese film and television drama.

If someone uses it, it is still very fresh. This setting alone is enough to support a movie.

The blue-white star quickly turned red, trailing a blazing white comet tail. Under the increasingly fierce piano rhythm, it was reflected in the eyes of the heroine, getting closer and closer, and getting bigger and bigger.

"...The number you dialed is not available. Please check and dial again...sorry, the number you dialed does not exist. Please check the number and dial again..."

The beautiful and penetrating music paired with the beautiful comet scene revealed the heroine's bitter love for the boy thousands of miles away, which indeed made many viewers suddenly wake up to this "happy enemy"

There is an undercurrent of emotion between them, but if you think about it carefully, this hazy and beautiful emotion is not rigid at all, but rather logical.

And he played new tricks!

In "Signal", it was just a walkie-talkie plus the butterfly effect. In the TV series, a more complex and brain-burning concept of circulation was added, closing time and space into a circle. In "Mirage", the tool was replaced by a television, and three channels were created.

The timeline makes the heroine a big winner for both her lover and her daughter.

In this movie "Your Name", all communication tools were even abandoned and replaced by inter-travelling in dreams. This is also the reason why Lu Xiao did not discover the secret of time travel hidden in the movie in advance, using a relatively novel male-female interaction.

The setting of wearing the body, as well as the sweet, innocent and ignorant emotions between men and women in adolescence, cover up the cross-time and space setting hidden in the deepest part of the film.

Lu Xiao, who was already familiar with the settings of "Signal", also got a surprise unexpectedly.
