"Kane, do you think a non-science fiction fan like me will like this movie?"

When entering the cinema, Lewis asked again. Although he was good friends with Liu Yukun, he didn't usually read science fiction novels, let alone "The Second World".

"I believe it will." Liu Yukun smiled and nodded, "Let's not talk about YU. Isn't Spielberg still worthy of your trust?"

"Let's go, let's go. If it doesn't look good, you have to treat me to two big meals."

"no problem."

The movie starts.

The first picture is a large screen on the outer wall of a building, which is broadcasting news.

The camera moved down, and people were hurriedly walking on the bustling street. Many people were holding a small object in their hands, which seemed to be a mobile phone, because some people were putting it to their ears and saying something.

"It doesn't seem too sci-fi..." Lewis whispered, "Isn't this just the popularization of mobile phones?"

Then we cut to the front of a mobile phone. The phone is very beautiful and has no buttons.

But in Lewis's opinion, it's not unusual. This kind of communication equipment has already been seen in movies, right? This one just looks more sophisticated in design.

"Oh, is this paying money? You can pay by scanning that small square... Isn't this too funny? I think it's better to pay with your fingerprint or swipe your card. This small square is too dangerous."

"Hey, why is there a Nike mobile phone? Oh...it turns out to be a mobile phone jacket. Why do you need this kind of mobile phone jacket?"

"What is this? A large mobile phone? But looking at the keyboard, it looks like a laptop."

"This TV is indeed quite big, but it's not as powerful as a 3D projection."

Lewis kept muttering in a low voice, basically commenting on every new thing he saw. Liu Yukun was used to it, as long as he didn't make a loud noise and didn't disturb others.

In fact, Liu Yukun could discover more things. For example, the mobile phones here are not the same, but are differentiated and hierarchical. Unlike many science fiction movies, all communication equipment is uniform.

People use desktop computers, tablets, mobile phones and laptops at the same time, and there are also many types.

Although all this does not look cool, it has a sense of reality. On the one hand, it benefits from the superb film technology, and on the other hand, the world is so detailed that it seems to be a real and tangible world.

This is the same as the novel, but the movie's images stimulate the senses even more intensely, making people jump right in.

The first twenty minutes of the movie are spent setting up a perfect world. At the same time, people's conversations and the news broadcast on TV are used to introduce the recent unrest in the city, with frequent violent incidents.

The city government reminds residents to be careful when going out.

However, the protagonist meets a group of people with special functions by chance. These people form an organization and call themselves the Awakened.

They claim that the world is being controlled by some unknown force, and hope that the protagonist can join in and fight with them against the mastermind.

The protagonist didn't believe it at first, because these people couldn't tell what force was controlling the world. They were like a group of headless flies, looking for the so-called mastermind every day.

However, before the mastermind behind the scenes has been found, the world has suddenly become chaotic. More and more people have special powers, of various types. Some can breathe fire, some can fly, some can see through things, and some have special abilities.

Infinite, some people will be deformed.

When he saw this, Liu Yukun was a little surprised, because it was different from what was written in the novel. But... as a movie, this plot looks quite interesting, at least the scene is very exciting.

At the beginning, the Awakened Ones organization was very happy to see more and more people having special powers. It attracted many members in a short period of time, and the organization continued to grow.

But later, because there were too many people and each had their own agenda, the organization was eventually destroyed in a war, and the entire world was reduced to ruins.

The protagonist has also awakened his superpower, and it is a very powerful ability. In this world, as long as he thinks about it, he can go where he wants to go.

During the civil war between the Awakened, the protagonist had been helping to mediate, but in the end it failed.

At the end of the movie, the protagonist is standing in front of the ruins in a daze. At this time, a scene is inserted. In a dark space, countless glass cabins are lined up in a circle, and there is a person lying in each cabin.

At this time, the voice-over said: Restart as soon as possible.

Then the scene cuts back to the protagonist, who stares blankly at the whole world being rebuilt, the destroyed buildings re-standing, the dead people resurrected, and the silent world suddenly became lively again.

Everything is as if nothing happened.

The news was being broadcast on the big screen outside the building, exactly like the one at the beginning of the movie.

Then the movie ends.

Watching the curtain call, Liu Yukun fell into deep thought. The movie's explanation of the real world is obviously not as detailed as the novel, and only one scene is revealed at the end.

Why did Spielberg do this? To make the movie more dramatic or to prepare for a sequel?

"Why are you still in a daze? Everyone is almost gone."

Lewis, who was standing next to him, patted Liu Yukun on the head and said, "Well, the movie is very good, and you won't have to eat a big meal. Especially when the Awakened Ones fight later, it was so exciting and exciting."

Liu Yukun smiled. Sure enough, different audiences have different perspectives. However, it also shows that Spielberg does understand the audience and knows what the audience likes to watch. The adaptation in the second half of the movie does give the audience more sensory stimulation.

The rhythm also picked up instantly, completely different from the novel.

"By the way, didn't you notice that there are a lot of advertisements in the movie?" Liu Yukun asked.

Lewis shook his head, "Advertisement, what kind of advertisement, I didn't find it."

"Didn't you notice that the mobile phones inside are basically Motorola? One section even shows Motorola's second-generation mobile phones?"

"Isn't this to reflect the history of technological development? What's the problem?"

"What about Nike? Some people have phone cases with the Nike logo on them."

"Whatever this has, it's not all from Nike. I think there are some other elements, and I think the Nike shell is quite nice and eye-catching."

"..."

Liu Yukun had to lament that the advertisement for this movie was really well done and could make people remember it, but it also made people unable to realize that it was an advertisement.

Liu Yukun even felt that the Premier League match shown in it was just an advertisement.

It was already late, and the two of them followed the large army out of the cinema. As Lewis was walking, you suddenly turned your head and looked at Liu Yukun, as if you had discovered something extraordinary, "Kane, have you noticed that the world in the movie is all

Is it fake? The sleeping people who appear in the hatches at the end are real human beings. They are just controlled by something, so they are living in a dream?"

Liu Yukun burst out laughing. Even if he hadn't read the novel, it shouldn't have taken him so long to realize it. With the scene at the end of the movie and the voiceover, he should be able to guess a lot of things.

Isn’t the phrase “restart” obvious?

What Liu Yukun had been thinking just now was why the whole world went back in time after the reboot, but the protagonist didn't. The reason was not explained in the movie, or it was hidden in the previous plot, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

There are many differences between the movie and the novel, which surprised Liu Yukun because it gave him double happiness.

When the movie ended just now, Liu Yukun noticed that the film's art director and prop director included YU's name, which meant that Yu Dong was involved in the design of the props, and those mobile phones and laptops were most likely made by Dong.

Lewis prefers exciting plots, but Liu Yukun pays more attention to the near-future technologies that appear in them.

Many of these designs are reasonable if you think about it carefully. If this movie is popular enough, will it lead the future design trend of electronic products?

Will those technology companies use the things that appear in the movie as a template to update their technology?

Or maybe those Motorola mobile phones that appear in the movie are actually concept products designed by Motorola itself?

Liu Yukun shook his head. He couldn't understand these questions at the moment. He planned to pay attention to the news seriously in the past few days. There will definitely be news that will report these things. There will also be professionals who will analyze the movie and maybe see some valuable insights.

.

He turned around and looked at the audience members who were walking out together. It could be seen that most people liked the movie very much and were still discussing it enthusiastically after coming out.

And even though it was so late, people were still entering the cinema one after another, rushing to the next show.

Perhaps the premiere was placed at zero o'clock just to test the audience's enthusiasm.

In any case, "Second World" is destined to succeed.

…

The success of "The Second World" exceeded everyone's imagination. Although it missed the summer release, it caused a sensation as soon as it was released.

The most important thing is that this time involves a lot of advertising, and the cooperative brands are also trying their best to help promote it. Motorola's stores put movie posters next to the newly released mobile phones on the day the movie was released.

Many people who don’t know about the movie are curious, how come someone selling mobile phones is still promoting a movie?

Universal itself probably didn't expect that this time they didn't make much effort, but their marketing efforts were stronger than they imagined, and the channels were terrifyingly numerous.

I don’t know about other cities, let’s just say New York and Los Angeles. It’s hard for people to walk on the road without seeing something related to “Second World”.

There are movie theaters, bookstores, mobile phone stores, computer stores, and even clothing stores.

"What kind of movie is "The Second World" and why can it be seen in so many places?"

More people entered the cinema with curiosity.

After the movie came out, analysis of the movie became overwhelming.

It was well received, and of course, many of the first batch of positive reviews were planned.

Many people have begun to study the near-future technology that appears in movies, and there has been controversy about scanning QR codes to pay. Some people think that this method of scanning QR codes to pay is redundant and unsafe, and it is not as good as paying by credit card. It just looks simple.

While everyone was arguing, an organization from Neon issued a statement claiming that they had developed a basic QR code based on the description in the novel.

As long as the technology is mature and security can be guaranteed, it is entirely possible to replace card payment. He also listed the various advantages of scan code payment, indicating that perhaps scan code payment will become mainstream in the future.

However, the problem of scanning QR code to pay does not lie in scanning QR code. There are many other problems that need to be solved.

After the first week, Universal held a press conference, and Spielberg also attended. During the meeting, he told reporters, "There are many things in this movie that you need to discover. The Second World is more than just a name."

."

As soon as Spielberg's words came out, he immediately attracted the attention of various media.
