Chapter 270 A Legend That Did Not Survive

The movie officially ended there. Li Xiaoyu sat in her chair, trying to compose herself while reliving the unforgettable scene from just now.

This is the most emotionally overwhelming movie she has ever seen.

The romantic journey of the male and female protagonists, David and Lucy, is less a two-way street and more a story of them walking back to back in opposite directions in order to protect each other.
But deep down, I look forward to the day when we finish this difficult journey and meet face to face on the other side of the world.

However, such an ending only exists in virtual fairy tales and does not exist in the real cyberpunk world.

Just as Lucy's kiss could pull David back from his mental turmoil, it couldn't enable him to defeat a powerful enemy.

Love can be a panacea that pulls people back from the brink of mental collapse, but it cannot be a weapon against this cruel world.

The lights on the ceiling of the movie theater were already on, but none of the people who remained moved.
Everyone is eager to see what Chen Yuan, who always loves to leave Easter eggs at the end of his movies, will have prepared for the audience this time.

After the long end credits finished playing, the audience finally saw what Chen Yuan had left behind.

The scene clearly shows the Afterlife Bar, which Mann frequents, where someone orders a drink named David Martinez.

Li Xiaoyu felt a little relieved. The bar in the movie, called "Next Life Bar," had all its drinks named after legendary names from Night City.

Night City has no living legends, but David's death was not unnoticed; his name became a cocktail, commemorated and sung by those who came after him in Night City.

The method for making a cocktail is to pour a shot of vodka into a whiskey glass filled with ice, and then add an appropriate amount of cola.

In the movie, David explicitly states that he doesn't like drinking alcohol or carbonated drinks.

But Mann's favorite drink is vodka, and Lucy's favorite drink is cola.

When Li Xiaoyu saw David's cocktail recipe designed this way, she immediately thought of David as a glass in a movie scene, living his life carrying the ideals of others.

This glass of wine can be seen as a reflection of his life.

It's infuriating that they still try to stir up emotions even at the end of the movie.

Li Xiaoyu was now experiencing a surge of emotions, her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts. She couldn't wait to go back and give the movie a good dressing down on Weibo.
She cursed it for making her shed so many tears; she even tore half of the notebook off to wipe her tears!

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin were also doing a promotional event at another cinema in the capital.

For this roadshow, Chen Yuan did not make the United States the first stop, but instead chose to start from China and then go to other countries for promotion.

After the movie ended, Fan Binbin pushed Chen Yuan's wheelchair into the theater. Amidst cheers that nearly lifted the roof off, there were also various cheers and encouragements.

This was Chen Yuan's first public appearance since breaking his leg, aside from the time he clarified that he had no suicidal thoughts.

The host warmed up the audience by loudly asking, "What do you all think of 'The Edge Walker 3'?"

The audience members, their eyes red, answered in unison, "It's great!"

Some bolder viewers shouted, "It's not good! It's too heartbreaking!"

"The main characters are all dead, Chen Yuan, you've gone too far!" Chen Yuan laughed as he took the microphone. "Seeing that many people have swollen eyes from crying shows that my movie is at least quite moving, and my hard work over the past few years hasn't been in vain."

However, movies are just movies, a form of entertainment. I hope everyone can adjust their mood and not let it affect their normal lives.

Therefore, I've prepared some movie-related merchandise that I designed myself, hoping to bring some joy to everyone.

As he spoke, Chen Yuan picked up a bag from beside his wheelchair and took out a ceramic mug and a tray from it.

The cartoon image on the mug is instantly recognizable as Adam's Hammer face.
But when Chen Yuan pulled out the Rebecca cartoon round-face coaster, the audience in the front row of the theater, who had just witnessed Rebecca being smashed to death by Adam's hammer, were left speechless with a mixture of laughter and tears.

In particular, Chen Yuan placed the Adam Hammer cup directly on Rebecca's coaster, which completely overwhelmed the female host.

After Chen Yuan became paralyzed on one side, he often told some outrageous jokes about his broken leg, making no attempt to mock his injury.

The concept of 'hellish jokes' was proposed by him and has been continuously innovated and popularized by netizens.

Now, this film director, who plays the most tragic character in his own films, is mercilessly making fun of the characters in his works, which is really hard to bear.

However, his interruption livened up the atmosphere in the theater considerably, and the microphone was handed to the audience after the host's introduction.

"Director Chen, why did you have to arrange for Rebecca to die so abruptly?"

"Well, the plot wasn't designed this way on purpose to make everyone feel bad,"
All I can say is that the way I designed Rebecca's exit was to better develop the character and make a more lasting impression on the audience.

"Why didn't the ending involve Adam being defeated by David with his hammer, and then David eloping with Lucy?"

"I know everyone is a little upset about the ending of the movie. But in this story, David simply couldn't defeat Adam."

Adam was merely a henchman employed by the company. Killing one Adam would create a hundred more Adams for the very order symbol behind him—capital.

This is my understanding of the cyberpunk worldview.

A girl with red-rimmed eyes and a noticeably hoarse voice asked Fan Binbin:
"Binbin, I want to ask, after David rescued Lucy from the top of the Arasaka Tower, how did you act out that extreme sadness without shedding tears?"
That scene was truly unforgettable.

Fan Binbin tossed her long hair and smiled, "Speaking of this, it really took a lot of effort to film this scene."

Chen Yuan's original concept was that Lucy had a modified prosthetic eye and couldn't shed tears. This seemingly unnecessary concept in the first movie really caused me a lot of trouble.

As everyone knows, the scenes at the end of the series were reshot later, after Chen Yuan had already passed away.

I really couldn't control my emotions at that time.

As for why people saw me not cry, it wasn't because of my acting skills at all; it was simply because I had already cried all my tears when the camera was pointed at me.

Fan Binbin spoke casually, but the audience could sense her emotions. Before she even finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted.
It was also interspersed with encouraging messages like "Binbin, keep going!" and "Binbin, don't be sad."
