In Director Lu's office, Wang Meng came here after participating in the exchange.

"Xiao Wang, what you said is true?" Lao Lu was surprised by the plan Wang Meng just mentioned.

I thought I knew my favorite disciple, but I didn’t expect that I still didn’t understand it. Looking at the plans mentioned by Wang Meng, they were all big plans, almost to promote the transformation of Chinese films.

"It's true, and we've been preparing for it, including the "Diet Dee" series that worked with director Tsui Hark. The script has been completed. This year, due to director Tsui Hark's time, our company has no time, so it's pushed to next year."

"Yeah, it's not bad." After hearing Wang Meng's affirmative answer, Director Lu felt relieved.

"In fact, it's not just that. I also booked another series with Director Chen Kexin, the "Xu Xiake" series, a domestic magic adventure series that makes Xu Xiake a Hollywood superhero. This series has no script yet, and it's an idea at the moment."

"It's very good, it's very good. It seems you've taken your heart."

After hearing this, Director Lu was relieved. He didn't care how grand Wang Meng said, but only knew that Wang Meng had been working hard.

Moreover, I still have to take one step to watch three movies.

"I think we will shoot the "Die Renjie" series next year to see the market's reaction. If everyone likes us, we will continue. If not, we can pause."

"Well, don't go blindly, look at the market reaction before talking about it, so be prepared for any trouble."

"In fact, there are many well-known novels that have been bought out of the film and television copyright, such as "Ghost Blows the Light", "First Intimate Contact", "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", "Step by Step", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", etc. We hope to shoot TV series first to see the market's reaction. If the market reacts well, some special ones, such as "Ghost Blows the Light", "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", will become movies to release, showing their value in all aspects."

As Wang Meng spoke, Director Lu stopped asking and just nodded to express his understanding.

He had nowhere to give advice, and Wang Meng's development had exceeded his thinking.

Looking at what Wang Meng said, he doesn’t know what he wants to say?

So, having such disciples is pride and painful, and you have nothing to teach?

"Okay, very good. As long as you are optimistic, do it boldly. We will give you great support in the theater." Director Lu said.

He also said: "In just a few years, your development has exceeded my imagination. I am very pleased that the future belongs to you young people. I want to see where you have gone."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

...

After saying goodbye to Lao Lu and leaving Shanghai Opera, Wang Meng turned his mind to "Painted Skin".

In fact, there was not much of his business, it was the special effects company. Wang Meng couldn't help there. At most, he decided to set a topic.

After the special effects staff was ready, he asked him to see if it was possible and whether it met his requirements.

Wang Meng has already prepared his next plan.

All the work of "Painted Skin" is completed, and it will not be liberated until at least October.

If you want to make a work, especially if you want to meet the audience at the end of the year, it is impossible to make a big production and you don’t have time.

Moreover, Wang Meng wants to make a movie that takes less time and completes it early, and can prepare for next year's big plan.

So Wang Meng chose a movie that he really wanted to make.

Perhaps this movie will not be very popular, and not even many people like it.

But it is crucial to Wang Meng.

It's July 200 now.

Two years ago on July 24, Wang Meng came to this time and space.

Everything is like a dream.

From the beginning, he became acquainted with a movie, a movie that was still scared when he remembered it—"Butterfly Effect".

In his previous life, Wang Meng still remembers this movie that almost became a god.

"Butterfly Effect" is a movie about traveling through time and space, which is different from other time and space travel movies set in the same type of campus youth protagonists.

The film is the opposite. Through the chaotic theory of the butterfly effect, it tells the story of returning to the past and changing destiny is not as relaxed and pleasant as films like "Back to the Future". Instead, it often causes human tragedies that change things and people due to coincidence.

It can be said that at the beginning of the day, Wang Meng was afraid that his arrival would trigger such a reaction.

Now that I feel relieved, everything at the moment shows that I am not doing well and have achieved extraordinary achievements like in "The Butterfly Effect".

However, Wang Meng felt that this seemed to be his own inner demon. If he did not make this movie, there would always be a heart knot in his heart.

Sometimes he always thinks that he is not an existence in this world, he is always lonely.

However, in this life, there are family, lovers, and careers.

Wang Meng cherishes everything now and thanks the God of Destiny for the arrangement.

Now, I want to say a complete farewell to his past (the previous life).

Everyone may have their own inability to let go, while Wang Meng’s is a bit special, and it is an absolute that no one can tell.

This kind of depression sometimes makes Wang Meng feel lonely and everything is fake.

Now, he has to face the past and say goodbye to the past.

Then use this movie to say goodbye to your past! I also hope that through this movie, I can dare to face everything.

Cutting off is also a new life!

The butterfly effect was analyzed by American meteorologist Edward Lorenz in 1963 in a paper submitted to the New York Academy of Sciences.

"A meteorologist mentioned that if this theory is proven to be correct, a seagull flapping its wings is enough to change the weather forever."

In his later speeches and papers, he used more poetic butterflies.

The most common explanation for this effect is: "A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, with occasional flapping of wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA in two weeks."

Of course, the "butterfly effect" is mainly a metaphor about chaos science. It is also the real reaction of the butterfly effect. An inconspicuous small action can cause a series of huge reactions.

Later, the butterfly effect was not only a theory of meteorology, but also a statement that echoes many aspects, such as humanities, society, economy, etc.

In fact, there was such a saying in ancient my country.

There is an example in "Lüshi Chunqiu·Chawei":

"The border town of Chu is called Beiliang. His virginity and the border town of Wu are in the territory. They play and hurt the virginity of Beiliang. The people of Beiliang are cheating on their wounds to let the people of Wu. The people of Wu respond to it and are angry and killing them. The people of Wu go to report it and slaughter their families. The Duke of Beiliang is angry and said, "How dare the people of Wu attack my town?" He raises troops to fight back, and the old and weak kills them..."

The general explanation is:

"There is a border city in Chu State called Beiliang. The girls there and the girls from the border city in Wu State were picking mulberry leaves on the border. When playing, the girls from Wu State injured the girls in Beiliang. The people of Beiliang took the injured girls to blame the people of Wu State. The people of Wu State were disrespectful, and the people of Beiliang were very angry and killed the people of Wu State. The people of Wu State went to Beiliang to revenge and killed the whole family of the people of Beiliang. The guard of Beiliang was furious and said, "How dare the people of Wu State attack my city?" So they sent troops to fight back against the people of Wu, killing all the people of Wu, young and old..."

It’s just a small thing, what we do inadvertently, can cause a chain reaction.

The previous life's "Butterfly Effect" was a science fiction thriller directed by Eric Brace, J. McKay Gruber, and starring Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart, etc.

It was officially released in the United States on January 23, 2004.

The movie tells the story of Ivan who experienced a series of bad things when he was a child, which damaged his originally perfect life.

Tortured by the terrible memories of childhood, Ivan asked for help from a psychologist. The doctor encouraged him to write down what happened one by one, but things got worse and worse.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a person who is very dissatisfied with his life. He accidentally discovered that his own ability to travel back to the future, so he changed himself when he returned to the future, but found that the ending of the change was not beautiful, but worse and worse.

After many experiments, it is worse than the other.

In the end, the protagonist, who really couldn't accept it, found in despair that if things were not bad, he could only return to his mother's 10 months pregnant belly and kill her unborn self. As long as he didn't come to the world, there would be no such bad things.

So, the ending is to return to my mother's belly and kill myself.

Of course the plot is not that simple, and there is also a mentally ill father who is also tortured like this. This is the inheritance of the family.

Among them, the shooting technique adds a lot of montages and crossover clips, just like Nolan's "Memory Fragments".

This time, Wang Meng wanted to shoot it, but she didn't want a sad ending.

However, the sad ending is an important reason why this movie has almost become a god and ranks in the classics.

If you have a happy and reunion ending, then all the horror and bizarre created before will appear embarrassed and speechless, just like the unevenness of the acceptance, it will ruin the movie.

So, Wang Meng found the ending when filming "You, My Deskmate".

But? This time it's not two endings, but three.

One is a beautiful ending, the other is the original ending, and the other is the ending that sadness continues to not kill oneself.

There are three choices for the three endings, and the good or bad depends on everyone.

Of course, Wang Meng did this, and she looked a little indifferent.

However, my ending is a beautiful ending, and a beautiful ending is obviously impossible in this movie, so I have to have multiple endings for everyone to choose.

Even if he can't become a classic, Wang Meng doesn't care anymore, just live in the present.

This movie is not simple, not only the butterfly effect, but also theories of psychology, psychiatry, chaos science, etc.

In fact, the most obvious educational significance of this movie is:

It provides opportunities to repent again and again, provides multiple possibilities for life, a dream that changes destiny when it returns to the past.

Based on the madness of a perfectionist, the protagonist Ivan builds the memory he deserves at the assembly points where his memory is blurred.

After these memories are built, all his memories will be rewritten due to the butterfly effect, so his life will be constantly rewritten.

No one's life is completely beautiful and without flaws, so when you identify with the existing flaws, the world will become better, and you will not keep praying for better and more vain things.

The story tells us that we must live in the present. No one’s life is perfect, and shortcomings are also a kind of beauty.
