Hua Xia couldn't help but slap the boy on the back of the head: "How many points did you score higher on the college entrance exam? Are you applying to universities? Are you choosing a major?"
What are your dreams? What do you want to do after graduation?
Five deadly questions drove the young man to depression.
The boy said, "Sister Xia, why do you have so many questions? Do adults have to think about so many things?"
Hua Xia: "Then why do you have so many questions? The adult world is not simple at all."
"Didn't we meet at the beach before?"
"There are some things that you can't say even if you guess them, you know? That's the rule."
"You're really something else. You're trapped here, and you still have the mind to ask so many irrelevant questions. If you hadn't run into me, would you even be able to get out?"
Teenagers: ...It makes sense, but it feels like a fallacy.
When the audience heard these sentiments, they couldn't help but smile.
What follows is the three's adventure underground, which is almost entirely devoid of man-made mechanisms, but rather a miracle sculpted by nature.
Various unexpected and interconnected dangers always seem to strike suddenly.
Hua Xia, with two little burdens, always uses strange and bizarre ways to hide and escape, making the audience worry for them while also finding it funny.
The three people moved very nimbly. Even though the boy and girl were not martial arts practitioners, their coordinated movements looked comfortable and made Chinese martial arts seem better, adding a lot of points to China's reputation.
It also allows the audience to see what kind of strange and wonderful natural phenomena, as well as dangers, can form in such an underground world, where a lost dynasty has been buried for thousands of years.
So much so that not only the three characters in the story, but also the audience became extremely nervous.
Sometimes, if I step on something that makes the same sound, I get really anxious, almost to the point of being paranoid.
Unexpectedly, the backstory only lasted forty minutes, and the rest was almost entirely underground adventure.
To be precise, it's just like an escape room, only an outdoor, natural version.
To say it's tomb raiding... well, not really.
There's nothing scary about it, just thrills.
Ultimately, after a series of crises, the Chinese people, led by Lan Yu, discovered the Loulan ruins.
The person has long since vanished, but many things remain.
The entire city is submerged underground, like a quiet, slumbering hymn to the past, telling the story of Loulan's glorious history.
The three saw the well-preserved remains of the Loulan Queen. It could be said that if this site were to appear in the world, not only would the city of Loulan be destroyed, but the remains of the Loulan Queen would also be reduced to ashes and completely disappear.
As the Chinese people who shared the same face as the Loulan princess, the young man and woman ultimately decided to take away some artifacts that wouldn't deteriorate in the light for research, while the city of Loulan would remain quietly there to guard the Loulan queen.
They will also completely seal off the passages leading into Loulan City from the outside.
Furthermore, they would also set up some traps and mechanisms to prevent tomb raiders.
The boy was very interested in the so-called mechanical arts and cooperated actively.
The girl was simply trying to help.
Only the Chinese understand that without Lan Yu, one cannot enter; the main purpose is to take the opportunity to teach young men and women some life-saving techniques.
For a full two and a half hours, there wasn't a single dull moment; it was high-energy from start to finish. Only when the three successfully emerged from underground at the end of the film did the audience finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The naked-eye 3D experience allowed everyone to be fully immersed in the game alongside the main character.
Especially for those who get really into the movie, their thin clothes are soaked with sweat by the end of the film.
Although what we finally saw was the dilapidated city of Loulan, it still bore the marks of time. Every sound made by visitors more than a thousand years later seemed to tell everyone about the city's past glory and splendor.
It must be said that although it is a dilapidated city, it is unforgettable.
If this existed in reality, it would probably become prosperous again after the movie.
Tourists can trample through even the most dilapidated cities.
The post-credits scene shows a group of archaeologists interrogating three people, seemingly trying to extract more information from them.
However, Huaxia is a professional in interrogation.
They had coordinated their statements beforehand and talked about many details.
Archaeologists are not even as meticulous as the Chinese.
The young man handled the situation with ease.
The girl smiled shyly, answering what she could, and saying that she had been hiding behind the boy and Hua Xia the whole time and hadn't seen them.
On the Chinese side... needless to say, in the end it wasn't the archaeologists asking questions, but rather the big shots acting as students listening to the Chinese talk eloquently about what they had heard.
Regarding the Loulan City ruins, the three unanimously agreed that it was exposed to "fresh" air and eventually collapsed completely, including the caves.
As for where? Want to dig it up?
They wouldn't know that even underground!
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't the Loulan flower a member of the Orchidaceae family? Why can it grow in the desert? And why is it edible?"
"The most terrifying thing is, why could the Loulan flower keep the Loulan Queen from decaying for a thousand years?"
"Is this place really like this? Ah, according to Feng Shui, it's a place that gathers evil spirits, but that doesn't make sense."
Hua Xia: ...She wasn't lying. She has an extraordinary memory. When her soul followed the Loulan princess, she really saw the city of Loulan clearly. That's exactly how it was.
"Perhaps Loulan doesn't belong to the Yan Kingdom? So they don't follow the Yan Kingdom's feng shui principles?"
The archaeologist was taken aback: "Huh? Is that so?"
The group seemed to have endless questions, and Huaxia went from initial passion to utter despair in just a few shots.
Director Shao's initial helplessness and speechlessness turned into amusement and schadenfreude in less than a minute.
Everyone's emotions rise and fall, vividly portrayed, full of life.
When the movie ended, some people were in a hurry and immediately found a place to sit down and work on their manuscripts, partly because they were excited after watching the movie.
Secondly, they also wanted to quickly gain this wave of traffic.
Whether it was to make money or to gain fame, the reason for scrambling for tickets in the first place was for this moment.
Some were typing away on their laptops, while others were writing articles at lightning speed on their phones.
Within five minutes of the event ending, a massive surge of long and short articles appeared online.
"Some people say that the special effects in the second movie are better than those in the first movie. After watching it, I believe it. I really believe it."
"Seriously, this is the first time I've realized that China's special effects are so amazing, they can even surpass Hollywood."
"It's incredible, I'm so proud. I never knew that such a pure Chinese film could have such amazing special effects. I'm not envious of Hollywood at all anymore. I can see such wonderful movies in China."
"What's there to envy? Right now, apart from Yan Country, even compatriots on both sides of the strait can't see naked-eye 3D, right? This technology is the most amazing."
"From the Pearl of the Orient, don't mention it. The cinema is being renovated and will soon be able to offer glasses-free 3D, but... I can't wait, so I've already come to the mainland. However, can someone tell me why all the movie tickets for the next seven days are sold out?"
"Haha, didn't you say so? Did we not say so? Oh dear, we were so happy we forgot."
"Everyone is focused on buying tickets, sorry, the information was delayed."
