This director is vindictive.

Chapter 395 A Space Wedding? No, this is Chen Mo's Grand Versailles!
The premiere of "Space Odyssey" has ended.

However, many viewers were completely bewildered.

It's not that the movie is bad, it's just that it has some...
"Don't you guys think Chen Mo's performance is practically a Versailles showdown?" one viewer couldn't help but whisper to their companion.

"Yeah, yeah, although it's all true, it's definitely a bit too Versailles-esque. It feels like they're just showing off their legendary experiences," the female companion next to her couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"But that kiss under the stars is so beautiful and romantic! Do you think it's possible to do that in real life?" Women's focus is always different from men's.

"Ah, this must be very difficult, right? Not to mention anything else, going to space is impossible at this stage, isn't it?" The man couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, while inwardly cursing Chen Mo, that rich bastard, for playing such high-end games.

It's alright, because it's too high-end, so unlike "The Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" and "Flying Sword Immortal," it can't be imitated to some extent.

While many viewers criticized Chen Mo for being a big spender, film critics and media personnel at Versailles were thoroughly amused.

There's so much to write about this film.

Film critic Zhou Xiaobin, a staunch supporter of Chen Mo, was also left feeling a bit itchy-headed by Chen Mo's outrageous actions.

The main reason is that this film was so unexpected; he can already imagine what will be the headlines tomorrow.

Do I even need to think about this?

Sure enough, when the premiere ended, Zhou Xiaobin rushed out of the theater clutching a hot recording pen, his glasses still reflecting the blue light of the star trails.

While running, he didn't forget to furiously type in his memo: "Chen Mo redefines wedding movies with 'Space Odyssey' - this isn't product placement, it's throwing a two-dimensional foil at the wedding industry!"

So instead of going back, I found a beverage shop nearby that was still open, went inside, sat down, and started writing.

Looking at what he had written in his notes, he suddenly shook his head, deleted it, and rewrote it.

However, despite his best efforts, he hadn't even finished half of it when it went viral on social media.

A well-known film and television public account published a clickbait-style article titled: "Newton's coffin lid can't hold AI down. In-depth analysis of how Chen Mo used science fiction to create a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Yang Mi's acting career."

"From Li Xiaotao in the Republican era to the goddess Bai Qian, the order in which each character appears coincides with the turning points in Yang Mi's career, and the background music of 'The Power of Love' is absolutely killer—you think he's making a joke? Actually, he's giving the audience an immersive career report!"

"More than that, this is less of a wedding promotional video and more of a nostalgia trip, not only for Yang Mi, but also for Chen Mo's Versailles epic!"

Zhou Xiaobin couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Wasn't that right? It truly was Versailles.

The topic gained traction as quickly as Chen Mo's rushed premiere, exceeding everyone's expectations.

It's late at night, and the trending topics are already dominated by Chen Mo and "Space Odyssey".

The top ten trending topics on Weibo prominently featured:

#ChenMo'sVersaillesLive#
#YangMi's Career Report#
#ChenMo's Backstabbing Cult Archaeological Site#
Netizens joked, "You thought this was a wedding? No, this is Chen Mo's grand Versailles!"

"What's truly speechless is that those things are actually real!"

"The 'Backstabbing Cult' has been inexplicably dragged into archaeological research again!"

"It's not just Chen Mo, it's Yang Mi too. This is practically a career planning report! Goodness, Chen Mo is finally dropping the pretense, isn't he?"

"Those who talk about Versailles, wake up! They're just filming a true story—although this truth is even more outrageous than fiction (lemon.jpg)"

"I burst out laughing when the background music for 'The Power of Love' started playing! Boss Yang: Chen Mo, are you being polite? This wave of nostalgia doesn't even spare our embarrassing past!"

"The most outrageous part is the archaeological excavation of the 'Knife-Stabbing Cult'! They're still desecrating corpses after more than ten years. This director is truly vengeful!"

"The saying goes that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but Chen Mo takes revenge from morning till night, dragging out the corpse to whip it every now and then, tsk tsk!"

Meanwhile, the outrageous extravagance of "Space Odyssey" has also been ridiculed by many netizens and viewers!
"While watching the movie, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As we all know, when it comes to Valentine's Day celebrations, the worst thing is for your girlfriend to follow suit. After the movie, my girlfriend suddenly said, 'Actually, a traditional wedding is pretty good too!' The main thing is that this was just outrageously extravagant!"

"No problem, Chen Mo's move is a complete game-changer! While others post wedding photos, he's making a sci-fi movie. This is the ultimate romance of the super-rich, something most people can't pull off!"

"Wow, a rocket wedding procession, a space station sending blessings, Chang'e as the master of ceremonies—who else can compare?" "So, here's the question: Yang Mi seems to have had on-screen partners in various films and TV shows, so is Chen Mo...hehe?"

Everyone's talking about nostalgia, Versailles, and how Chen Mo holds a grudge, still bringing up the 'Backstabbing Cult' after all these years.

Zhou Xiaobin decisively deleted what he had written, because what he had written before was similar to this.

As a film critic, he also needs to make a living. If everyone is talking about it and reporting on it, then it's no longer novel.

Therefore, he decisively changed his strategy and did not follow the crowd.

He checked it out and found that everyone was making fun of the memes, joking, and criticizing, but very few people were seriously trying to understand the core message of the wedding promotional video!

What else is there to say?

As a well-known film critic, it's natural to take an unconventional approach!
He hadn't thought about this carefully before, and suddenly he really felt a bit lost.

Therefore, he began to flip through his memos and review his records of watching movies.

Soon, he began typing on the keyboard.

Deconstructing the Three-Dimensional Universe Narrative of "A Space Odyssey"!
"Many people are criticizing Chen Mo's Versailles, saying that he made the film like a memoir, showing the Versailles scene, etc., but they have overlooked the core of this film!"

"This 'Space Odyssey' is different from the previous two Chinese-style wedding costume series, but what remains unchanged is the emotional core hidden beneath the technological exterior!"

The film constructs a unique system of ritualistic symbols through science fiction settings such as the "Starry Sky Oath Ceremony" and the "Civilization Hourglass".

Weddings, weddings, since ancient times, marriage has been a promise between two people. Take the earlier "Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" as an example. Because of the ancient Chinese classical wedding customs that have been passed down for thousands of years, the rituals such as the three letters and six betrothal gifts have extremely profound symbolic meanings.

However, there are obviously no ready-made examples for space weddings. So how can the ceremony highlight the core of the emotional vows?
We often wish newlyweds a happy marriage and a long and happy life together, but why only a hundred years? Because for human lifespan, a hundred years is already considered old age, and it is a beautiful symbol.

The same wedding vows are made: from that moment on, we are husband and wife, bound together in life and in death!
Ultimately, it's about a beautiful vision of love: eternity!

For humankind, the process from birth to death is eternity.

Therefore, Chen Mo designed another symbol for the space wedding.

When vows are transformed into "star trails that never fade away," Chen Mo has essentially completed a quantum transformation of the traditional wedding ceremony—concretizing emotional commitment into an observable physical existence.
Secondly, regarding the nostalgia factor surrounding Yang Mi, Yang Mi is an actress. For an actress, what could be more gratifying than having people remember the roles she has played?

Therefore, Chen Mo used a Möbius strip to showcase Yang Mi's acting career. The circular arrangement of Yang Mi's holographic projections is meaningful: from Li Xiaotao in the Republic of China to Tu Ling, these characters are not arranged linearly, but form a closed spacetime loop.

Each character has a unique significance, especially for Yang Mi.

Li Xiaotao was the first role she played after growing up, and every role that followed represented a turning point in her acting career.

From her early role as the spirited Guo Xiang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," to her immense popularity as Qingchuan in "Palace," and then to Xuejian in "Chinese Paladin 3," Yang Mi has come a long way to become who she is today!
When "The Power of Love" played, it perfectly illustrated the artist's theory of "eternal cycle" in his creative life.
Many people say this is Yang Mi's dark history, but it is also nourishment for her growth. Just like the "Backstabbing Cult" incident that Chen Mo mentioned, I personally think it's not that Chen Mo is holding a grudge, because the grievances of that year have long been settled. However, that incident can be said to be a key point that affected Chen Mo's future.

If he hadn't encountered the "Backstabbing Cult" incident, perhaps he would have gradually honed his acting skills, and perhaps he would be a decent actor today, but that's all.

Because of the "Backstabbing Cult" incident, his acting career was cut short, forcing him to embark on a new journey.

He probably never imagined that he would be even more gifted as a director!

Therefore, it's not just Versailles, but precisely the subversive nature of Versailles' aesthetics!
It is worth noting that Chen Mo's "Achievement Showcase" adopted NASA's data visualization style. This treatment of personal experience into a cosmic form cleverly eliminates the sense of showing off.

Just as the AI ​​in the film jokingly remarks that "Newton will turn in his grave," the film itself is also deconstructing serious narratives.
Finally, Chen Mo has once again brought a new paradigm to wedding movies!
Compared to the documentary style of traditional wedding videos, Chen Mo's Huayun Wedding Attire series, "Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness," is probably the most imitated. "Flying Sword Immortal" was already difficult to imitate, but it is estimated that few people can imitate "Space Odyssey." First of all, in terms of cost, the special effects are top-notch. I believe that those who have seen it will find that the special effects in the film are no less than those of science fiction blockbusters.

Therefore, the netizens' jokes about the inhuman extravagance have deterred the vast majority of imitators.

Secondly, this wedding film pioneered the "prophetic documentary" genre—using unrealized space technology to record a wedding that has not yet happened.

This forward-thinking approach perfectly aligns with the essence of marriage: What is the essence of marriage? It is the unknown, the transformation from one person into a family, a beautiful vision of future life, and at the same time, a solemn vow to the future.

After finishing writing, Zhou Xiaobin clicked "publish".
