I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

May 1st should have been a holiday for fishing.

But in the movie circle, everyone feels very grim.

Lu Yi's movie is not just a box office hit.

The clues behind this movie are surprising.

Under the famous role-playing website Do you understand, and how to evaluate "The Mouth of the Madman", several hot replies have been updated.

[Filmmaker Aping]: I take back my previous comment. "The Mouth of the Madman" is a breakthrough in the field of horror movies, and even for domestic movies. Its content is not limited to the works , and even extends beyond the work. This technique of combining reality and illusion and blurring the boundaries is very novel. It can be said that the viewing experience of the whole movie reached its peak when the last part revealed the secret. To be honest, I am a little curious now, are we actually living in a book, are we just characters in the book, and are manipulated by others?

[My name is Teacher Zhao]: I think there are only a small number of people who can rationally evaluate this movie. Most people are still in the chaos that seems to have their brains stirred. Another movie shocked us, changing our cognition of Lu Lian, is it very similar to the famous artist in the movie? After watching this movie, I really thought about the possibility of whether I am a fictional character. Of course, If this is a plot of a novel, then maybe Lu Juan is the absolute protagonist of this plot, and I am just a shameless dragon touting him.

[Deep Blue Melancholy: My face hurts a little. I thought that according to the normal production speed, Lu Jian’s movie would take at least two years to be seen, but I didn’t expect it to be released in half a year. Did this guy secretly save more than a dozen movies? , One after another, this will not give other directors a chance to survive. Some people shoot well and the speed is fast. How can other people beat him? It's unreasonable! 】

However, more people are actually still stuck in the shock of the movie.

In Lu Jian’s previous films, the discussion of the fourth wall was very superficial. In most films, the actors ignored the audience and performed completely immersed in the world view of the film. The audience felt that this was "acted out".

But in "Madman's Mouth", the interaction between the family and the protagonists, and the main plot of the movie, obviously broke the fourth wall of horror stories in the movie, connecting reality and fantasy together. The audience can think that this The movie is the story of "Madman's Mouth". The home is separated from the story, and it can be considered that the home is also a part of the story. This is a movie about how to complete it.

This can easily lead to a thought, that is, are the audience watching the movie another character in an event called "The Mouth of the Madman", and is the world we live in real?

Bai Qiquan came back from watching the premiere,

The whole person is bewildered.

He got up very early today, and barely slept last night. His dreams were all about those spiders crawling over people's bodies, the heads of men in suits turning around, and the scenes of vicious dogs with tentacles on their heads exploding.

Waking up in the morning, Bai Qiquan rubbed his eyes.

He suddenly saw a man in a suit standing in his bedroom.

Hearing Bai Qiquan's movement, the other party turned his head.

"Fuck!"

Bai Qiquan sat up as if he had been electrocuted, his head almost hit the wall, tremors swept through his whole body, he even felt his hands and feet twitching.

"What are you doing? It's like seeing a ghost."

The man in the suit asked.

Only then did Bai Qiquan realize that this was his roommate.

"You, what are you doing in a suit?"

he asked with a trembling voice.

"Oh, didn't I find an internship before, and I went to the interview today, so I got a suit."

The roommate laughed.

"Oh......"

Only then did Bai Qiquan feel relieved.

Then he fell into that inexplicable sadness again.

"You said, is it possible that we are just a member of the book, and the whole world is fictional?"

He suddenly asked his roommate.

"what?"

The other party didn't understand, so he asked back.

"Forget it, you don't understand."

Bai Qiquan shook his head.

Now he feels like the scientist who was the first to understand the heliocentric theory, while others are still in ignorance, and only he has glimpsed the truth.

He lay on the bed, picked up his mobile phone, and searched for knowledge about the end of the universe, the end of time, and the destruction of the earth.

"do you know?"

Bai Qiquan asked his roommate again.

"what do you know?"

The roommate didn't understand again.

"The sun will expand into a red giant in five billion years, and the earth will be completely engulfed by then, and human civilization will be destroyed!"

Bai Qiquan said seriously.

"Oh, five billion years, that's still very early."

The roommate suddenly wondered if Bai Qiquan had some serious illness.

"Are you really okay, do you want to see the school doctor?"

"It's okay, I'm fine..."

Bai Qiquan waved his hand, lay down again, and searched for some thought experiments such as Brain in a Vat and Ship of Theseus, and became melancholy again.

This situation continued throughout the night.

A few buddies in the dormitory set a fixed opening time, and found Bai Qiquan to play a few games. After he knelt down five times in a row, he forgot about the destruction of the universe, the end of time, and the brain in a vat.

"Damn it, I won't sleep if I don't win a game today!"

Bai Qiquan clicked the mouse and opened the next one.

Then he stayed up all night for another day.

...

On May 1, the box office of "The Mouth of a Madman" reached 170 million, creating a domestic first-day box office record for a horror movie.

And, with the continuation of the holiday and the fermentation of word-of-mouth, its box office is still rising.

Lu Jian readily accepted.
