Chapter 1127 Butterfly Effect
“A butterfly flapping its wings may create a hurricane on the other side of the world——
Chaos Theory.”
Darkness, chaos, depression, Horror.
The movie sets the tone from the very beginning. A rickety figure lurks in the dark night outside the glass window, slams open the office door, and the bearded man stumbles into it.
close the door. Locked.
He blocked the front door with a sofa, grabbed the file box next to him, turned around and hid under the desk, his tall figure curling up.
Obviously, that was Anson.
Although the light is dim, even though his face is covered with stubble, even though he is wearing a hospital gown, he can still feel his unique temperament from the lines of his profile.
For a moment, he firmly grasped the line of sight; and, effortlessly following Anson's movements, he was involved in the solemn atmosphere of the movie, and his heart suddenly contracted.
Anson huddled under the office, grabbed paper and pen, and quickly left a message. In the rapid breathing and flickering flashlight light, chaos and danger spread.
The movie only started for thirty seconds and it has already grabbed the audience's attention.
"If anyone finds this message, it means that my plan will not work, and, I am dead..."
Outside, the pursuer is approaching, beating constantly The door of the office called "Evan"'s name, trying to confirm that he was inside the office.
However, Evan did not stop.
"If I could somehow get back to where it all started, maybe I could save her."
Evan!
Bang bang bang!
Evan!
Shouting, beating, and violent sounds were intertwined. You could hear beatings on the office door outside, and the whole world was shaking together. Finally, the message that Evan was recording also became fragmented.
The broken pieces of paper evolved into butterflies, flapping their wings, flying in the black, and finally evolved into a brain scan, but still continued to shake slightly.
The "Butterfly Effect".
The movie title appears.
An opening chapter that sets the tone of horror.
However, when the camera turned, the blue, gray, and black all melted and disintegrated, and the whole world was immersed in a gorgeous golden color, quiet and beautiful.
Thirteen years ago.
Just like Evan's message, everything is back to where it started; but I never expected that I would go back for such a long time in one breath.
On the screen, the little boy playing with the dog looks like he is about seven or eight years old!
In the screening room, Nicholas took a deep breath, caught his thoughts, and regained his composure——
So, what kind of movie is "The Butterfly Effect"?
Different from the mystery of "Elephant" landing in Cannes, "Butterfly Effect" has been gradually unveiled during the early promotion process and established its own style and genre.
“If you could change the past, what would you want to change?”
“How much does it cost you to save her?”
“So, what? Is it fate?”
Three trailers with three different styles, but they all have one thing in common:
Information about the film's content is very limited.
In the trailer, Anson is always running, as if someone is chasing him, and as if he is catching up with time. In his full speed running, pictures of smiles, sunshine, and happiness are always intertwined, with bright colors. The image contrasts with the dark tones of Anson's run.
Although the audience never understands the focus of the movie, they can be sure:
Anson is the absolute core.
Therefore, the impression created by the entire movie is that Anson has been trying to change his destiny, but a huge shadow has enveloped Anson like a shadow, and a tragic and heroic energy pervades the trailer. But what exactly is going on? What does the butterfly effect mean? What difficulties does Anson face? Is this a science fiction movie, a disaster movie, or a love movie?
And so on, etc., all take a back seat. Although those pictures are all details, they are still not enough to piece together the main plot of the movie.
Nicholas did his homework. He watched the trailers for "The Last Day" and "The Butterfly Effect" over and over again.
The movie story and style of "The Fight" are clear at a glance, and the trailer has already shown clues; but there is no clue about the "Butterfly Effect".
Nicholas believes that this should be intentional——
Create suspense.
Use Anson's charm to capture the audience's curiosity and attract them into the cinema.
All bets are placed on Anson.
However, as soon as the movie begins, the story line jumps directly to childhood?
The situation is not good.
Nicholas knows the dangers of a huge gap in actual results caused by the expectations created by announcements. The audience's attention may not last ten minutes. If the movie cannot summon Anson again in these ten minutes, or it can capture attention through other means, The loss of audiences may be unavoidable.
Nicholas felt a little sad when he thought of this.
But no surprise——
Anson is still young.
Although Anson knows how to promote distribution, and although Anson also has his own unique vision in selecting works, he is still a little green as a producer, and it is difficult to find the right balance between actors, distributors, product managers, artistic creation, and directors. A balance where the philosophy is definitely not that simple.
Look at tonight, from the expectations of the trailer, all the way to the special planning of the premiere, everything is centered around Anson, and the entire screening hall is bustling with everyone discussing Anson.
However, Anson went offline one minute and thirty seconds after the movie started?
Is this reasonable? What do the film crew expect the audience to think?
Success is also Ansen, failure is also Ansen.
If you think about it seriously, this is actually a good thing. After all, Anson is only twenty-one years old. This proves that Anson is not perfect.
Nicholas relaxed a little and began to actively lower his expectations for the movie.
The story begins with an incomplete family.
Andrea is a mother, but she must also take on the role of a father. Her husband, Jason, has been living in the hospital for a long time due to mental instability. She has to raise the young Eyre by herself. arts.
It is not easy to maintain order in daily life, but unexpectedly, Andrea always thought that her well-behaved son was getting into trouble at school.
The teacher asked the children to draw pictures to describe what they wanted to do when they grow up. As a result, Evan drew two broken corpses, and he stood on the corpses holding a big knife.
To make matters worse, when the teacher tried to ask Evan, Evan said he couldn't remember anything.
This brought Andrea to the verge of collapse——
Because Evan’s father had similar symptoms, Andrea was worried that Evan had inherited the disease, so she took Evan there Hospital examination.
The doctor conducted a detailed examination and suggested that Evan start keeping a diary to record what happened every day.
However, the situation did not improve immediately.
Andrea and Evan were at home. One second Evan was writing in his diary, and the next second Andrea found Evan standing in the kitchen with a knife -
Ah!
There was an exclamation in the screening room. It was too unexpected and sudden, and there was no psychological preparation at all. It was comparable to the "Jump-Scare" in horror movies.
Especially the fierce and vicious eyes paired with the innocent and romantic face, the sharp contrast brought a sense of horror that swept the entire screening hall.
Nicholas was also frightened, his heart was beating wildly,
At this point Nicholas realized that it seemed... a little bit interesting, so Anson played a... killer?
