When female reporter Hannah walked into the theater of Run Lola Run, she found that there were so many people and there were not many empty seats left. At a glance, she saw that most of them were young people.

After she sat down, she heard the two young men next to her talking quietly:

I wonder what you mean by a game-like movie? Is it a live-action game movie like The King of Fighters?

I don't know, I hope it won't be a junk movie like Super Mario!

As a reporter responsible for tracking the movie, Hannah also knew what these two people were talking about.

The King of Fighters is a live-action movie version of the game Mortal Kombat. An investment of 20 million yuan has earned a global box office of 120 million yuan, and it has also been recognized by the public. It is currently the only successful case of a game adapted into a live-action movie. And Super Mario is known as using the hottest game IP to make the worst live-action game movie!

Just when she was still thinking about the relationship between the movie and the game, the lights in the theater went out, and everyone stopped talking and looked at the big screen involuntarily.

The screen lit up, and in the darkness, a few poems appeared:

We should never stop exploring,

All our explorations,

will eventually return to our starting point,

And get to know the place for the first time.

——Thomas Eliot

Many viewers have heard of Eliot. He is a famous modern British writer and poet who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948.

Of course, even those who have never heard it can roughly understand the meaning of this poem. I guess the director must have had a purpose in putting this poem at the beginning.

After a while, the poem disappeared and the screen fell into darkness again, but a ticking clock sounded in the auditorium, which made people subconsciously feel that time was running out and a countdown was in progress.

Looking again, a pendulum enters the picture, swinging back and forth, making a mechanical swinging sound. When it swings back and forth for two consecutive times, the creaking sound slows down, and it freezes in the center of the picture. At this time, everyone saw clearly that the pendulum was a sculptural monster head.

This is the monster that devours time in Greek mythology! The young man next to Hannah couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

As the dynamic music played, the camera moved up along the monster clock's pendulum and saw the entire clock clearly. The hands kept moving, making a ticking clock sound. The next moment, the mechanism creaked, and the carved monster opened its mouth, and the camera immediately entered the big mouth.

Up to now, even the title of the film has not been released, but the whole audience has already realized the uniqueness of this film, and many young people's expectations have been further raised!

The next moment, various groups of people were moving quickly on the screen, and the camera seemed to be moving quickly among the busy people following the dynamic music. Almost everyone looked hazy.

A magnetic narration voice sounded: Human beings may be the most mysterious species on earth, a mystery that can never be answered... Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going...

As he spoke, several clear portraits appeared one after another, including Zhang Jiahui wearing a Manchester United jersey, a woman holding a baby, and finally Luo Jiaying wearing security clothing.

Luo Jiaying smiled and said: The ball is round and the game must last 90 minutes. There is no doubt about it. Everything else is purely theoretical! Start now!

After saying that, he picked up a football from under his body and kicked it into the sky. The lens seemed to have grown on the football. It followed the football as it flew up to a high altitude. As it rose higher and lowered the camera, the crowd just seemed to be like ants, forming a few words, Lola, run!

Then the ball fell into a tunnel, and the scene turned into an animation. A cartoon girl with red hair, a blue shirt, and green pants kept running in a tunnel, constantly jumping over or breaking obstacles that hindered her. Whenever an introductory word such as Director - Wu Yuchen comes out, the cartoon girl will jump up and smash it with fists, as if she is trying to pass a level in a game!

This unprecedented and unique title has already caused some young viewers in the theater to say cool! involuntarily.

Although Hannah is a reporter, she is also a young person, and she couldn't help but be attracted by the film's novel and unique way of filming and telling. The style of this audio-visual language is really suitable for the new generation of young people. Got it!

In the animated tunnel, the cartoon girl finally encounters a strange flower with teeth and claws, and is swallowed by it with its mouth wide open. As a result, the scene once again switches back to reality. The perspective is shot down from a high place. It is not a direct switch, but a long shot with continuous acceleration. In 3 seconds, from the entire city in the air, to the neighborhood, the camera enters through the window, and then to the ringing phone of Laura's house. The movie officially begins!

The audience in the theater had no time to marvel and were immediately attracted by the phone conversation between Laura and her boyfriend Manny.

Fu Dalong cried and complained on the phone. It was all because Laura did not arrive on time to pick him up on his motorcycle. He had to take the subway. Then when he saw the patrolman on the subway, he instinctively got up and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. As a result, he lost the diamond in the transaction. The 500,000 Yuan that came was left on the subway, and he could only watch the homeless man next to him through the subway window. Ni Dahong picked up the bag containing his money and showed an incredible smile of surprise.

The audience also understood that the two of them must get 500,000 within 20 minutes, otherwise the club boss will definitely kill his boyfriend. Fu Dalong decided that in 20 minutes, that is, at 12 o'clock, if he has no money, he will rob the city center opposite. a large supermarket. From this, the heroine Lola wants to save her boyfriend. A fund-raising operation will begin within 20 minutes.

Hannah was very excited to watch it. This movie was really anti-traditional. Her boyfriend was so cowardly that he was so angry that he blamed others for not being able to think of a way and kept crying and nagging, while his girlfriend was responsible for saving everything. Compared with previous Hollywood movies where only the male protagonist rescued the vase girl, this made her so damn happy!

Of course, Hannah knew more than that. The series of fast camera movements and high-frequency different editing techniques and compositions used by the director were also the reasons why she could get involved. But now she no longer cares about analyzing these in detail, she just wants to get involved in the plot.

Laura searched all the possibilities in her mind. Only her father, who was a bank executive, could have so much money, so she opened the door and started running!

What follows is like an adventure, with various angles of footage recording Laura's running process, different scenes, encounters with different people, and different directions. The combination of the side and the front and the overlapping paintings extend the time, making the audience feel that Laura is running desperately.

first.

When Laura went downstairs, she met a bad guy with a vicious dog. At the corner, she met a woman pushing a child and was scolded. A series of flashback photos foreshadowed the woman's future. The woman drank too much and quarreled with her husband and got divorced. Deprived of custody rights, he eventually went to the park to steal other people's children and was caught.

She met a cyclist wearing a Manchester United jersey to sell her a bicycle. The same series of photos showed that he was hospitalized for stealing a car, and then met a nurse and got married.

A middle-aged man who was driving got into a car accident with another car and got into a dispute because he saw her running.

A female bank employee will commit suicide in the future due to paralysis after a car accident.

Finally, she rushed to the bank, but encountered the scene where her executive father was having an affair with his lover. After being sternly rejected by her father, she also discovered the truth that she was not her biological daughter, and cried with the help of security guards.

But Laura, who was thinking of her boyfriend, ignored her sadness and continued running, and encountered another ambulance, which almost broke a large piece of glass being carried on the road ahead.

When Laura finally arrived at the supermarket, Fu Dalong had already entered the supermarket and fired shots to rob. With the help of Laura, the two grabbed the money and ran away, but they were surrounded by the police. When Fu Dalong threw the money bag away, a new policeman panicked and shot Laura in the chest.

Laura's consciousness entered a red space, which was a fragment of her and her boyfriend lying on the bed, shirtless, talking about love. This kind of red is not only the color of desire, but also gives people a kind of illusory peace, and is shrouded in an atmosphere of death, making us understand that this unreal and illusory plot is a kind of fantasy or memory after death. So as to long for another possibility.

So, Li Xiaoran, who exited the red space, murmured: I don't want, don't leave!

The camera switches to the red money bag still flying in the air, constantly changing between it and the red phone that initially rang, and as the music speeds up, when both fall at the same time, Li Xiaoran finally says: Stop!

The scene returns to the beginning, and Li Xiaoran opens the door again and rushes out!

Some viewers haven't reacted yet, but many young viewers have already shouted:

This is a reload! The game has been reloaded! It's so cool!

There was inevitably some commotion in the theater, but no one took their attention away from the big screen.

Start the second time.

When Laura went downstairs, she still met the bad guy holding the vicious dog, but this time he stretched out his foot and tripped Laura. But Laura, who was pressed for time, had no choice but to rub her legs and continue running.

Due to the impact of tripping, she meets the woman pushing the stroller again a few seconds late. Through the flashback photo, the audience clearly sees that the woman's future has changed. This time she went to a lottery shop to buy lottery tickets and won the top prize. She became rich and lived a happy life with her husband and children!

而骑自行车的张佳辉这次躲过了暴揍,但因此没有认识护士收获爱情,而成为一名流浪汉,最后在独品中死去。

Yes, the audience discovered that everything has changed. The fate of the people Lola met on the road has changed, and they were only met a few seconds late because they were initially tripped by the bad guy!

Wow!

Butterfly effect?!

Now no one can understand what this movie is about. All the audiences are glued to the big screen, wanting to see whether Laura can succeed in reloading the movie this time, and how much impact she will have on other people.

This time Laura stepped on the front of the car and jumped over, still attracting the attention of the middle-aged man driving the car, causing a car accident. But unlike last time, she hit the front of the car, this time she hit the rear.

The fate of a female bank employee changed. In the photo, she did not get into a car accident in the future, but hooked up with the bank's front desk guy. The two even played an offensive and defensive game. The female employee was the queen, and the guy was whipped with a whip.

In the bank, Laura, who was slapped, angrily grabbed the security guard's gun, hijacked her father, robbed the bank, and ran away again with 500,000.

Laura met an ambulance on the road and asked the driver to give her a ride, but was refused. The next moment, the driver didn't look at the road ahead and hit a large piece of glass that was being moved at the intersection.

Laura continued running without hesitation, and at the last moment when Fu Dalong was about to step into the supermarket door, she called him loudly from the corner, and both of them walked toward each other with smiles on their faces.

Just when the audience thought what would happen to the two after getting the money this time, Fu Dalong was hit by a car while crossing the road.

This car was the ambulance that Laura had just encountered. Due to the accident just now, the driver was in a hurry, so he knocked Fu Dalong away.

Li Xiaoran threw away the bag of money in his hand and rushed towards Fu Dalong. Fu Dalong, who was covered in blood, also entered the blood-red space this time. The two were still talking on the bed, and they continued the previous conversation.

After Fu Dalong's consciousness exited the red space, the money bag flying high in the air fell down in his eyes, and he read the file again!

With a snap, the camera switched back to the beginning. Li Xiaoran opened the door and ran, and the third time started!

WTF!

Can Manny still read the file after he's dead?

It's because the mission was not completed. The first mission was to successfully save Manny!

Regardless of the murmurs of discussion in the audience, the third time continued.

This time Laura jumped directly over the head of the vicious dog without giving the bad guy a chance.

On the same path, she met a woman pushing a child again, and this time she did not touch her stroller. The woman did not scold her. Her fate changed again. She met a church volunteer in front, so she joined the church and became a member of the church. Became a devout believer.

Cyclist Zhang Jiahui changed his route this time because he was hit by Li Xiaoran. He met homeless man Ni Dahong at a burger restaurant and sold him the stolen bicycle.

When she ran to the intersection where a middle-aged man was driving, Laura stopped and stopped the middle-aged man's car to prevent it from getting into a car accident, before running wildly again.

However, what she didn't know was that this middle-aged man was the client her bank executive father was waiting for. The middle-aged man did not have a car accident and therefore met the executive father smoothly. When Laura rushed to the bank, she only saw her father. Get in a middle-aged car and leave.

On the other side, Fu Dalong happened to run into Ni Dahong who was riding a bicycle and chased after him. When the two chased each other across the road, they caused a traffic commotion and two cars crashed into each other. The camera peered into the car, and it was clear that the people sitting there were the middle-aged man who had been in two car accidents before, and his father, a bank executive, who was both in a coma.

Laura rushed into a roadside casino and won 500,000 from the casino by relying on her super high-pitched special move.

Is this Laura's skill? It seems to have appeared twice. Each time it would shatter the glass and interrupt other people's thinking.

Who knows? It's cool anyway!

While Laura won 500,000, Fu Dalong also caught up with Ni Dahong and got back the money he lost. The homeless Ni Dahong picked up the gun thrown away by Fu Dalong and walked into the bank opposite.

Laura met the ambulance again. This time she didn't ask. She got in from the back as if instinctively. Then she saw the security guard Luo Jiaying who was lying with a gunshot wound and was being rescued. She understood that this was her biological father. Laura held his hand tightly, and then under the nurse's surprised eyes, Luo Jiaying's heartbeat miraculously stabilized.

At the intersection in the city center, Laura got off the ambulance and looked around but did not find her boyfriend Manny. Just when she was a little anxious, she saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked not far away. Fu Dalong got out of the black boss' car with a smile, hugged him and closed the door.

He walked to Li Xiaoran with a relaxed smile, then hugged her and said, Don't worry, everything is fine, let's go!

Li Xiaoran was pulled around by him in a daze, and Fu Dalong asked: What's in your bag?

Li Xiaoran, who was walking around, raised his head, with a bright smile on his face, and the scene was frozen.

At this time, the film ended, the staff list appeared again, the dynamic music also switched, and all the viewers could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

It can be said that there was no need to urinate during the entire movie before. Everyone’s attention was always following the protagonist Lola, and paying attention to the detailed changes she caused each time, which led to the changes in the fate of different people. Now I can finally relax. !
