Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 296 "Life of Pi" sparked a global discussion.

"I never expected Director Chen's acting skills to be so strong."

"What do you think? He started as a backstage worker and played all the way to the last level."

"That's true. But with such great acting skills, it would be a shame if he didn't become an actor."

"Don't worry, the movie starring Chen Cheng will be released in a few days."

"Ah, which movie starring Chen Cheng?"

"You don't read the news in the industry, right? Life of Pi."

Han Zhan made a cameo appearance.

the other side.

Life of Pi began to be released worldwide.

It's a pity.

The global release time is not synchronized this time.

Although Chen Cheng wanted to push this step forward.

The impact of a global simultaneous release, as well as the box office... are better than if they were released separately.

But this operation is still too complicated.

However, it was not released simultaneously around the world.

In the North American market, where the film was first released, "Life of Pi" quickly won the box office championship of the day.

The audience who walked into the cinema were quickly attracted by this fantastic story.

Watching Life of Pi and a tiger drifting on the ocean.

The rising humpback whale and the flying fish.

Sunset over the ocean.

In addition to being attracted by the boundless beauty, many viewers also have a feeling of conquering the world and conquering nature.

“It’s so beautiful, I love this movie.”

“I feel the graphics are no worse than Avatar.”

"Yes, the story is better than Avatar. At least, I feel that surviving in the wilderness is more meaningful than invading some alien planet."

A lot of good reviews kept coming.

"I feel like there are some differences between the public release and the preview version of the film."

"Oh, what's different? Have any plots been modified?"

"It's not a revision, just some content was deleted. Let me take another look."

Although the preview version seems to be similar to the released version.

Even if some parts are cut, it will not affect the public's perception of the film.

but.

Some people had wanted to study this film before, so they kept an eye on it.

Unlike the preview, which only had a few shows and then was gone.

It’s the public release version, you can watch as many shows as you want.

most.

It's just a few more movie tickets.

"I seem to have discovered that the preview version is indeed different from the public version."

"I also discovered that this was not just a simple drift."

"Oh, what else did you find?"

"I can't say for now. I have to keep watching."

There are still audiences in this world who can delve into the details and appreciate the essence of this film.

As they delve deeper into their research.

A series of questions about Life of Pi keep emerging.

"Everyone, I want to say that this is really not an ordinary drift."

"???"

"Does everyone feel that if Pi's family all fell into the sea, where did Pi's parents go?"

"This may have fallen into the sea."

"Why was Pi the only one who survived?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence."

"Then why did Pi and several animals survive?"

"It could also be a coincidence."

"Yes, maybe it's a coincidence... But if we compare these animals to humans, wouldn't it be more appropriate?"

"people?"

It would be better if there were no such doubts.

Because no one would think in this direction.

Everyone will just feel.

This is a very fantastical drifting.

People will admire the young man's courage to survive in the sea.

It wasn't just him who survived.

He also bravely fought with a tiger and eventually tamed it.

But when someone pointed the animal at an adult, in an instant, people discovered that the story they had seen before seemed completely different.

"Animals are people. Holy shit. My worldview seems to be shocked."

"I was shocked too. Damn it, why didn't I think of it before? Yes, there are no animals at all. They are clearly all people."

"Yes, but who do these animals represent?"

"I'll guess the gorilla first. This gorilla looks like a female gorilla, and she saved Pi. She looks very maternal, so she should be Pi's mother."

"Yes, if the gorilla is the mother, then the hyena may be the cook in the boat. He had a conflict with Pi's family before. So, after they fell into the water, the hyena wanted to kill Pi and his mother in order to get food."

"God……"

As one speculation after another continues to emerge.

Countless spectators were simply stunned.

Some spectators bought their tickets again and entered the cinema.

Because some of them couldn't believe the story.

but.

When they finished watching it again, they finally discovered.

Yes.

People's speculation is true.

Where are there so many animals?

Where are the tigers?

It was obvious that the crew members on the ship were killing each other in order to survive.

"Who's that zebra?"

"I don't know. I feel like the zebra represents kindness, like a Buddhist."

"Yes, it was the Buddhist monk. Didn't he talk to the boy on the boat? He looked so kind, but he was also the first one to be killed by the hyenas."

As truths continue to emerge one after another.

The box office of Life of Pi is also rising.

In North America that week, Life of Pi grossed $6000 million.

But that's not the end of it.

One week after its release in North America, Life of Pi began to be released in other countries around the world.

……

"Life of Pi, everyone watch this one, it's great."

"Oh, really? What's your opinion?"

"The North American box office has exploded. Not only that, countless people in North America are discussing this movie."

"Oh, then watch this one."

Hollywood movies often serve as a reference for various countries or regions.

A movie that is a big hit in North America will often perform well in countries around the world.

Even if the performance is not good.

At the beginning, it will attract countless people's attention.

Life of Pi is still being shown in North America.

The box office also continues to set new records.

What's even weirder is.

The discussion about Life of Pi has never stopped.

"Haha, I want to ask, do you really think that hyena is the cook?"

"Is not it?"

"Not really."

With the continuous release of Life of Pi.

The discussion about Life of Pi has become crazy again.

The frenzy of discussion is not just about the increase in audiences.

More importantly.

People found out.

They didn't really understand this movie.

or.

They only understood the first level of Life of Pi.

but.

The metaphors in Life of Pi have several layers.

It's like Inception.

You thought dreams had only one layer.

Excuse me.

I tell you.

In the world of Inception, there are four levels of dreams.

It is said that some people have seen the fifth floor.

The same is true for Life of Pi.

"Everyone, I think Life of Pi is definitely not as simple as we imagined."

"The leading male character in Life of Pi is the producer of Life of Pi, and he is also the screenwriter of Inception. Everyone should remember that Inception burned countless billions of my cells."

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Hyena, really a chef?"

"What do you think?"

"In principle, everyone may think that the hyena is the cook, because he is very fierce, just like the hyenas on the ship at that time. However, did you notice a detail? When the hyena was about to attack Pi, the gorilla slapped the hyena, and then the hyena stopped attacking Pi. If this hyena was a cook, how could he retreat? Could it be that he was afraid of this female gorilla?"

As the discussion progresses.

The deeper metaphors about Life of Pi are gradually revealed.

Some people who had seen Life of Pi before bought movie tickets to watch it a second or third time.

"What you said makes sense. A hyena cannot be afraid of an gorilla. If he is attacked, he will definitely attack back. Even if he cannot defeat the gorilla at the moment, he will find ways to attack back later. This is the characteristic of hyenas. However, he actually backed off and did not fight back. This is very strange."

"What if the hyena is Pi's brother? That seems to explain it."

"elder brother?"

"Yes. Only when the mother hits the child will the child not hit back. The hyena is Pi's brother."

"Nima."

It’s better not to continue researching.

This research.

all of a sudden.

The three views of countless people have been overturned again.

But this is not over yet.

“I wonder, is that zebra really a Buddhist?”

"Is not it?"

"Maybe not. Could he be Pi's father?"

"Fuck, don't scare me."

"I'm not trying to scare you. Remember, Pi's father had polio when he was a child, and his legs and feet were not in good condition, so the zebra sprained his foot."

"I, I, I..."

The more the truth is revealed, the more it subverts people's three views.

"Well, this is actually the story of Pi's family."

"Yes, there was no one else in the boat except Pi's family. But unfortunately, in order to survive, the family killed each other."

“Isn’t that too cruel?”

"I don't know, but under extreme conditions, we can't test human nature."

The life of Pi in the movie is not fictional.

at this time.

Someone dug up an incident that happened more than 100 years ago.

At that time, there were three people drifting in the sea.

In order to survive, two of them killed the other.

With the help of another person's supplies, the two men finally managed to reach the shore.

Although everyone knows that it was two people who killed one of them.

But finally.

Both were granted amnesty.

This is a choice made under extreme conditions.

……

“I think maybe we still don’t really understand the story.”

"Isn't it clear? The hyena is the older brother, the gorilla is the mother, and the zebra is the father."

"What about the rat?"

"Where are the rats?"

"Damn, I remember now, there really are mice."

at this time.

Life of Pi has already been released in China.

Countless fans have been looking forward to this movie for a long time and have flocked to the cinema.

But the discussion about Life of Pi is still fermenting wildly.

"Who's the rat?"

"I do not know."

"According to everyone's previous speculation, there are no animals on the ship, only people. So, all the animals are referring to people. The mouse is hiding in the cabin, which means he doesn't want to be discovered. So, who is this person?"

"I know, this is Pi's girlfriend."

"Sister."

Yes.

It was Pi’s girlfriend.

Although Pi said goodbye to his girlfriend, he still secretly brought her on board.

But he didn't want to be discovered by his father.

So he hid his girlfriend.

"But, but... the mouse died too."

"Yes, when Pi was fighting against the tiger, he threw the mouse over in a panic and the tiger ate it."

The appearance of the mouse once again shocked everyone's three views.

Simultaneously.

A series of metaphors about the girlfriend were also discovered little by little at this time.

"Remember the Cannibal Island? That island looks like a woman's body."

"This symbolizes Pi's girlfriend."

"Yes, the young Pi came to this island, got supplies, and survived. However, at night he was frightened by one of his teeth. He thought this was a cannibal island. In fact, he was not frightened by the cannibal island, but reason gradually took over. He found that he had eaten his girlfriend. It was not until he ate a tooth that he suddenly woke up."

at this time.

The domestic box office of Life of Pi has reached 8 million.

The global box office of Life of Pi has exceeded $6 million.

"The question arises again, who is Tiger?"

"There is no doubt that Tiger is Pi."

……

"Chen Cheng, I suddenly found that you have become more charming."

"Oh, really? Has he become more handsome?"

"No, it just becomes more attractive and attracts more attention."

"Hahaha, that's because Life of Pi was a huge box office success."

of course.

It wasn’t just a box office success.

Li An said so.

But Chen Cheng understood.

This is because my charm has increased.

At this time, the system prompted: [System: Host has gained global attention, Charm +3. ]

"Oh my god, the system has become so generous."

Before, things like understanding and charm were just added little by little.

Now add 3 points directly.

No wonder Li An said that he has become more charming.

Touched his chin.

Chen Cheng looked in the mirror.

He also discovered.

I became much more handsome.

Or.

Not only handsome, but also more charming.

Just like the Life of Pi played by Chen Cheng.

Even though Chen Cheng is a Chinese.

But at this moment.

He has gained a large number of fans around the world.

"Director Chen, congratulations on the box office success of Life of Pi."

"Thank you."

"The domestic box office seems to have exceeded 10 billion."

“Yes, this result is not very good.”

"Director Chen, you are so Versailles. One billion is not good enough."

"At least not as good as Lost on Journey 2."

"But in terms of global box office, Life of Pi is horrible, almost $7 million."

"It's still a little worse."

"Director Chen, do you want to share anything with us about the movie Life of Pi? By the way, what I want to ask is, are the metaphors used in the media real?"

"I do not know how to say it."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Part of it is correct. But... the most crucial part of this story is something that no one has guessed."

“Could it be that there are metaphors in Life of Pi?”

"Yes."

"What is it?"

“This will test everyone’s wisdom.”

Chen Cheng did not answer.

But Chen Cheng's interview this time has set off a new round of global exploration and research.
