0364 [What will happen next moment]
Huang Wei was responsible for the production time memory at the factory. After working hard for a day, he began to queue up to check in and collect today's salary. After finishing the card, Huang Wei realized that the numbers on his wrist schedule were wrong.
"Hey, what's this, what's the rest?"
"You never exceeded the indicator." The person in charge of the clock said coldly.
“My production increased last week.”
"That's the indicator...next."
"Are you kidding?"
"Go away, take it no matter how many."
Huang Wei had to leave the factory in a depressed mood and then went to a bar to find his friends. The only fun of living in a slum is to go to the bar for a drink after get off work.
The friend played by Huang Bo was a little drunk. When he saw Huang Wei coming, he immediately pointed to a man who was hugging the plotter and said to Huang Wei: "Look, that man has been buying wine all day long, he has a century of time."
But Huang Wei soon discovered that this Ji Ge, who had been in the first century and came from a wealthy area in different times, was targeted by the hourly thief who was often robbed in the slums. The kind-hearted Huang Wei couldn't bear to save Ji Ge, but Ji Ge was not grateful. In the process of avoiding the hourly thief's pursuit, he expressed his thoughts to Huang Wei.
He has lived for more than a hundred years, and he still has more than a hundred years on his wrist. He already feels that life has been enough: "We want to die, we have to die."
Brother Century's words made Huang Wei very angry: "Is this your problem? I think I have lived too long? If you know anyone who has died..."
Perhaps he was determined to die, or perhaps because he saw that Huang Wei was good, Brother Century slowly expressed his reason: "Only a very small number of people can live forever, and most of them must die."
"What does that mean?"
"You really don't know, right? Everyone can live forever, it depends on where we put him. Do you know why there are different time zones? Do you know why taxes and prices in slums keep growing every day?"
Huang Wei couldn't answer. Brother Century gave the answer himself: "The cost of living is constantly increasing, so as to ensure that people are constantly dying. By squeezing the poor, the rich can accumulate more time. Otherwise, why do you think some people have millions of years to go day after day?"
"And the truth is..." Brother Ji said with a calm look on his face, which shocked Huang Wei.
However, the camera was told in one stroke. The truth was not explained immediately.
Looking at the shocked Huang Wei, Brother Shi shook his head: "This is far from enough. No one should die before his lifetime... If you had as much time as I did, on that watch, what would you do with it?"
Huang Wei lifted his sleeves and looked at the only 18 hours left: "Don't keep looking at it."
In the low soundtrack, Brother Century also lifted up his sleeves and the schedule on his arms was more than 118 years.
...
Green Lucas was originally an intern reporter at the famous Hollywood entertainment magazine "Variety Show". He graduated from Yale University's international journalism major. He was ambitious to do something big and become a famous journalist. He would be bestowed with the highest Pulitzer Prize in the press.
But the reality is that Lucas, who has no connections, still cannot be reused even if he has a golden education. In the United States, the most democratic and free country, nepotism is the most serious. Every time he sees Robert, the ignorant fat pig, walking into the editor-in-chief's office with a boring manuscript, Lucas is deeply angry and jealous.
Nothing else. The manuscript of the dead fat pig will definitely be published the next day because he has an uncle on the board of directors of the parent company of Variety Show magazine. And Lucas himself, even if he has a wonderful report, signed the name with his boss. Fortunately, his own fault is his own, and the credit is given to others. Lucas deeply feels the unfairness of society.
He was eager to change his destiny. This opportunity finally came soon.
With the popularity and development of European and American networks, online media has brought huge impacts on traditional paper media with its efficiency, speed and convenience. "Variety Show" is no exception, and its subscription volume has been declining continuously. In order to cope with this impact, "Variety Show" opened its own website, but its effectiveness is better than that, and it is impossible to compete with emerging online media such as face waves and lure tubes.
So, "Variety Show" turned its attention to a virgin land full of gold - mainland China.
Considering that there is no professional film and entertainment consulting magazine in mainland China, "Variety Show" reached a cooperation with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and founded the Chinese version of "Variety Show". With the founding of the Chinese version, a large number of talents who understand Chinese are urgently needed to go to China to preside over the overall situation.
As a top student at Yale University, Lucas took Chinese during his college years. Although he was stuttering, it did not prevent him from being appointed to China and becoming a special correspondent for the Chinese version of "Variety Show".
When he first arrived in a foreign country, he had no troublesome bosses to point fingers. Even if he was not used to life, his language and culture were in great conflict. Lucas still tried hard to overcome it. He began to pay attention to this emerging film market and began to pay attention to a large number of Chinese films.
Before coming to China, Lucas had a vague influence on Chinese movies. He knew that one (Bruce Lee), one (Cheng Long), and one jet.li (Jet Li), and their kung fu was very good.
As for Chinese directors, he only knows (Wu John Woo), (Zhang Yimou, no English name), ang.lee (And Lee), oh, maybe he has to add a director of "Saw". Forgive Lucas, he likes to watch "Saw" and is intoxicated by it, but he really can't read it well, the director's subtitles "wan.xiaohu".
"The Chinese people's names are so strange," Lucas often thought.
After coming to China, Lucas improved his Chinese level while collecting various information from the Chinese film industry. After working for a day, he also forced himself to watch a large number of Chinese movies to improve his connotation. With the idea of overcoming difficulties, Lucas did this seriously.
But gradually, Lucas suddenly realized that with his Chinese progress, the originally obscure Chinese movies became interesting. After watching "Farewell My Concubine", he thought it was a classic gay movie. After watching "Sunny Days", he thought it was too incredible. After watching "Infernal Affairs", he felt that it was more profound than any undercover movie.
"Chinese movies are a huge fortune!"
Lucas was soon surprised. Many American audiences had a lot of impressions of Chinese movies, besides the yellow land, shabby clothes and poor life, but also kung fu. They had no idea about the brilliance of Chinese culture and the charm of Chinese movies.
What is unknown is interesting!
With the idea of developing a virgin and making achievements, Lucas began to write a special report on Chinese films. In addition to publishing it in the Chinese version of Variety Show, it will also be sent to the headquarters of Variety Show. The readers of Variety Show are all people who really love movies. After the editor of the headquarters had a try-watch mentality, he published a few articles.
It immediately caused a good response.
Especially Lucas's article, the report on recommending "Infernal Affairs", led to the editorial department of "Variety Show" receiving many letters, praising them for providing them with a very wonderful movie. So, Lucas's Chinese film column was opened. Strictly speaking, current readers are just curious about Chinese films.
If there is no better movie recommendation, the Chinese movie style will soon fade.
Lucas favored Lucas, and he paid attention to Wan Xiaohu, the director of "Infernal Affairs" and the director of "Saw". At the time of filming "Wanted Warrant", Lucas spent a lot of money to help promote. He was gambling, and gambling must be a good movie.
The facts are also quite powerful. "Wanted Order" has collected 452 million US dollars worldwide. It has become the international champion of Chinese-language films and has become the peak representative work of action, violence and imagination. The bullet turns and 360-degree headshot, making people excited. The popularity of "Wanted Order" has made countless viewers pay attention to Wan Xiaohu and start searching for Wan Xiaohu's information.
"Variety Show" with detailed reports naturally makes a lot of profits.
Naturally, soon after, Lucas was promoted to the deputy editor-in-chief of the Chinese version of "Variety Show".
Now four or five years have passed. Because of Wan Xiaohu's rise, a large number of Chinese-language films have led to the global hot sales. Lucas, the first to take the lead, has become the Hollywood Reporter who has the deepest research on Chinese films. Although he is only in his early thirties, he has become the editor-in-chief of the Chinese version of "Variety Show" and also holds the title of "Variety Show" as the general consultant of Chinese culture.
A successful person.
Today, the premiere of "Time Planning Bureau", Lucas, who has no longer easily runs like a young reporter, personally attended the premiere as the representative of the Chinese version of "Variety Show".
"People need to know their confidence in order to go long." Lucas often tells himself that his success depends largely on Chinese films represented by Wan Xiaohu. As long as Chinese films continue to be popular, Lucas will rise. If Hollywood wants to understand the Chinese market, Lucas is their "."
He wants to witness the birth of every Chinese blockbuster.
"Time Planning Bureau" is such a movie.
...
Brush brush.
The sound of a ballpoint pen stroking across the notebook.
"The novel idea, smooth plot, and a story that is less than ten minutes has attracted me."
While Lucas looked at the big screen, Brother Century and Huang Wei had a slightly low conversation while making records in his notebook. The reporters were different from ordinary audiences. They were not here to enjoy the movie, but to interpret it in an all-round way, bringing first-hand information to movie fans.
When a night passed on the big screen, Huang Wei woke up early the next morning and saw that Brother Century had already left, and the dusty window said, "Don't waste my time", Lucas began to write and draw again.
"The story turns out to be expected, not much surprise, but it's full of expectations."
Lucas's record continues, and the movie continues.
Huang Weiben saw Brother Century sitting on the bridge. He ran out, but had no time to stop him. Brother Century jumped into the river and committed suicide. When he returned home, he told his friends and gave them ten years because they had been good friends for ten years and their sons were all born.
The camera switches. At night, Huang Wei's mother, played by Gao Yuanyuan, paid off her loan at the bank after get off work, then walked towards the bus stop with a relaxed look on her face and entered a bus.
"Go to the Sanxiaokou." Huang Wei's mother said, reaching her hand towards the machine.
"Two hours." The driver said.
Huang Wei's mother pulled her hand back instantly, and was stunned for a while before saying, "It's been an hour."
"It's two hours now, the price has increased."
“When did it start?”
"today."
"My son will come to pick me up, and he will make up the difference."
"Sorry, no."
"Please, I have to walk for two hours." Huang Wei's mother lifted her sleeves, "I only have an hour and a half."
The driver turned his head and said, "Then you'd better run."
Huang Wei's mother looked at the carriage for help. Everyone turned their heads and pretended not to see it. She could only turn around and run out of the car.
At that moment, Lucas's hand, which was originally writing and drawing, stopped.
A strong premonition arose.
