How did I become famous?

Chapter 102 The Movie's Meaning (I'm asking for anything!)

The next morning, the young lady woke up yawning, which was unusual for her.

She made breakfast for someone surnamed Fang as usual, and then called him to get up and eat, but she completely ignored him during the meal.

After finishing her meal, she went to school by herself.

This is one of Su Mulin's strengths; although she can get angry, she doesn't often act childishly.

Or rather, even if she were to throw a tantrum, she wouldn't make a scene about not cooking.

Last night, there was a problem that belonged to Fang Bie himself.

However, she never had a moment of peace after starting school.

Liu Mang and his group stayed in the office all morning and didn't go anywhere else.

Fang Bie turned off the Lianliankan game on his computer, glanced at Liu Mang who was holding his phone and grinning foolishly, and said helplessly, "Is the old sow in your house pregnant? Why are you laughing so disgustingly?"

Liu Mang put down his phone, boasting, "How about it, Lao Fang? My idea for adding this Easter egg was pretty good, wasn't it? And that issue you mentioned about only Stand users being able to see each other's Stands, I've handled that perfectly too!"

Yes, he changed the setting so that even non-Stand users could see Stands, which was a setup for the later "superhero universe".

The final Easter egg is the finishing touch, and it's fair to say that half of the current online discussion is due to it.

Fang didn't see the post-credits scene when he watched the sample footage, but that didn't matter much. After all, just by watching the finished product, Fang knew the quality of the film.

If all the right timing, location, and people are missing, then don't call GG.

"Yeah, you're amazing! I fucking love you!"

But this does not prevent Fang from using his professional skill, "Yin Yang Wei Qi".

"Don't say that." Liu Mang chuckled and handed his phone to Fang Bie. "Is this Wang Ming the PR person you paid? His movie review is pretty good. He not only praised you but also took the opportunity to criticize others."

"It wasn't me." Fang Bie took the phone and looked at it, his face darkening.

The title above reads, "Why I say 'Shadow of Light' is a film with great depth."

That's not the key point; the key point is the source below.

(Su's Media)

Isn't this Su Erge's company?

Brother Su, didn't you dislike me? Haven't you been trying to sow discord between me and others?

Why are you treating me like this?

Oh right, the movie taking off is definitely not good for me.

He sighed and continued reading:

"I just watched the movie yesterday. The dazzling special effects, novel setting, amazing world view, excellent plot twists, tight editing and outstanding music all maintain the high quality that Director Fang has maintained since his last film."

But I always felt that something was wrong.

Upon closer reflection, I realized that the problem lay in the plot.

Although the plot of "Captain China" is relatively simple, it is still a complete story.

However, this film, "Shadow of Light," is different. Even in the film, there are problems with the way the characters address each other as "older brother" and "younger brother."

I don't think this is a problem that an Oscar-winning team would make.

So I thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered something that everyone knows but no one cares about—Director Fang said this is a profound art film.

Everyone took it as a misleading statement or a joke by Director Fang, and so did I, especially after watching the movie and discovering that it used a lot of special effects and had a fast-paced and intense rhythm, making it seem like a complete popcorn movie.

But is Director Fang that kind of person? Is he the kind of person who deliberately mystifies things?

I'm afraid not.

So after careful consideration, I think, maybe this really is an art film?

Fang Bie looked up and said, "This Wang Ming is quite interesting."

He had actually been deliberately concealing some information.

Just as written in the previous movie script, this film "Shadow of Light" has two storylines, one light and one dark.

The main plot is that Kira is the serial killer, and he is also the enemy who killed Chen Qing's family of four ten years ago. Since Chen Qing cannot punish Kira through the law, he chooses to take revenge himself.

This is a popcorn movie. Although the plot is relatively tight and there are no dull moments, there are indeed many plot holes.

But these plot holes are actually clues left in the movie, it just depends on whether others can decipher them.

He continued reading.

"Since I thought this might really be a foreshadowing left by Director Fang, I managed to snag a ticket from a colleague for this morning to see it a second time in the theater. Sure enough, this time I found a clue."

After careful thought and analysis, I discovered the truth behind this movie.

This is indeed a profound film! Director Fang truly deserves to be called a genius director!

On the surface, this is just a popcorn blockbuster, but there is actually a hidden storyline!

Let me share my clues with you first.

First, there's the movie title, "Shadow of Light," and then there are the two boys at the beginning. It's clear that the black-haired boy is the mastermind, but he's not Chen Qing, because the clown shadow behind him is half-crying and half-laughing instead of having a full smile!

Then there's what everyone considers a major plot hole: Chen Qing says it's his deceased older brother, and Kira agrees, but Officer Huang says it's his younger brother who died.

Besides this, there's another subtle inconsistency: age! The film clearly states that Kira and Chen Qing are the same age and were classmates in elementary school. However, Kira had already graduated from university ten years ago when he committed the massacre, while Chen Qing was still in university when he received the news!

Kira also said before he died that you and your brother are not the same.

Isn't it obvious?

From these clues, I drew a bold conclusion: Chen Qing is not actually Chen Qing! His brother is Chen Qing! That is, the two children who appear at the beginning of the film are Chen Qing's brother and Kira!

Now I will reconstruct the film's underlying themes.

When they were children, Chen Qing (the older brother) and Kira awakened superpowers. Then, under Chen Qing's leadership, the two killed the owner of a video store and stole a DVD player and a Mona Lisa portrait.

Ten years later, Kira killed his brother, Chen Qing's parents, and his sister.

My guess is that the DVD player might be the reason they gained their abilities. Chen Qing's (brother's) ability is definitely not as simple as recording evidence of Kira's murders. Combining the previous clues, perhaps his ability is replacement! Replacement of his and his brother's lives!

If their abilities are all related to DVD players, then all of this makes sense.

Kira's ability is to rewind, Chen Qing's ability is to pause, and his brother's ability is to change discs. Perhaps in the future, there will be characters with the ability to fast forward.

When they were young, Chen Qing (brother) and Kira came into contact with a DVD player and awakened their abilities. Later, under Chen Qing's (brother's) leadership, the two killed the shop owner because they believed that they had transcended mortals and were "gods" who could be above the law.

Ten years later, Chen Qing (Brother), who has been saved by family love, is living a happy life. He has given up on becoming a "god" and is living as a "human".

But Kira didn't get over it; he even hated Chen Qing (Brother), who had dragged him into the abyss but then pulled him out.

So he wanted to kill his brother's family to force him to change back from "light" to "shadow" like himself.

That's right, Kira is like the dark side of Chen Qing (brother), he is the other's shadow.

But after his parents and sister were killed, Chen Qing (the older brother) made a choice. He wanted to atone for the mistakes he had made in the past, so he chose to die at the hands of Kira.

But his parents and sister were innocent, so he used his abilities to exchange his life for his brother's, wanting his brother, who lived in the light, to avenge his parents and sister through the law. That's why Officer Huang said that it was Chen Qing's brother who died.

Kira was unaffected because he was also an esper.

Ten years later, Chen Qing returned, seeking revenge.

But fate is cruel. His brother would rather die than let him live in the light, and he always planned to use the law to punish Kira.

But they are capable individuals, and the law cannot restrain them.

So in the end, under the torment of his heart and Kira's coercion, he made a choice: he chose to step out of the legal framework and become a shadow living in the dark.

So Kira ended up smiling, saying, "You'll be just like me."

He won.

This is the truth I gleaned from this book, "Shadows of Light".

Why is this movie considered to have depth?

Because such things happen in reality. Some people don't have superpowers, but they have the power of money, and they can do things that the law can't.

So, if you had superpowers, in this situation, would you choose to live in the light or become the shadow?

This film review generated a huge response online.

Some people are dismissive, but they dare not speak out, because those who say it online are attacked by 59E Fang fans.

Some people think he over-interpreted the situation, but they don't dare to say so, for the same reason as above.

The rest were all viewers who shouted "666" and those who planned to watch the show again to find clues.

As a result, the comment section of the ticketing website was filled with accusations against the website because movie tickets were only available for pre-sale within seven days, and audiences could not buy tickets.

So why doesn't the website open a pre-sale window seven days later?

Because this has always been the rule, and other movies follow the same pattern.

For example, films released around the same time such as "Life Is Not Worth Living" and "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

However, "Life Is Not Worth Living" did not sell out every time.

To be honest, this movie is really good. After a day of positive word-of-mouth, its box office performance will obviously be better than the first day.

As for "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

Aside from the die-hard fans of the young male idols, everyone who has seen this movie criticizes it.

Well, actually there aren't that many die-hard fans.

Because the popularity of those young male celebrities is all "managed" by their companies.

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that if the flowers of our motherland are all so positive and motivated, who would like a sissy who can be called a tough guy just because he has a small cut on his finger?

Even if they work hard for 25 hours a day, rehearse with a fever of 50 degrees Celsius, go without sleep for two months and only drink water for three months to make a movie, a mother is a mother, and he can't become a tough guy.

This does not conform to the laws of evolution.

So when the box office figures for the first day came out, Xu Kuangfu was dumbfounded.

"Director Xu, the first day's box office results are in."

"How many?"

"Seven million."

"This..." Xu Kuangfu pursed his lips, picked up his teacup, took a sip to calm himself, and asked, "Where does it rank?"

"fourth."

What are the top three?

"Third is 'Little Deer Returns Home,' which sold for 7.5 million."

"You mean my movie couldn't even beat an animated film?"

"Yes."

"continue."

"The second is 'Life Is Not Worth Living,' which sold thirteen million copies."

"Wu Kai, this kid, can actually turn things around?" Xu Kuangfu couldn't help but take off his glasses. "And who's in first place?"

"First place," Xiao Ye glanced at the data in her hand, a complex expression on her face. "It's 'Shadow of Light,' with a first-day box office of 78 million."

Xu Kuangfu's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
