The Vice President's Office.
The Alibaba executive knocked on the door and only opened it after receiving permission.
"Vice President, you wanted to see me?"
The deputy general manager of the Emperor Cinema was a man over fifty years old with gray hair; he was from the United States.
The vice president didn't beat around the bush and asked, "How many film files did you review today?"
The producer from Alibaba replied, "About 13 films."
The vice president nodded, then asked, "Do you have any videos registered by Sunset Music Company?"
Ali was about to shake his head when he seemed to find it familiar... Sunset Music Company, wasn't that the movie he had just watched?
He nodded immediately: "Yes."
Vice President: "Very good. This film will be available at noon four days from now. Four hours after it is available, it will be taken down immediately, on the grounds that the screening share and box office revenue are not proportional."
The producer, Ali, looked puzzled. He initially thought the movie was terrible, but after discovering the foreshadowing, he found it quite interesting and worth watching.
But the vice president wants to remove this movie from the platform now?
Has someone at Wanxia Company offended the vice president?
The vice president said discontentedly, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
The Alibaba producer was startled, regained his composure, and shook his head, saying, "No, no, Vice President, I was just thinking about something else... It will be taken down after four hours, right? I understand."
"Alright, go out now."
After the vice president finished speaking, the Alibaba producer immediately left the office and returned to his own workplace. He originally planned to take a lunch break as soon as he got back from the vice president's office and continue working after 2 p.m.
He felt it was very necessary to watch the movie that the sunset had registered for.
It's a pity, because in this industry, the biggest taboo is offending the leaders of the film studio company.
I don't know how Wanxia offended the vice president.
I sat back down in front of the computer.
Alibaba's supervisor continued to review the Truman Show, "Sunset Glow."
Let's start by looking at that little foreshadowing from before.
The next ten minutes or so were still the same boring plot.
The Alibaba-supervised production team was quite boring.
"So what exactly did that little foreshadowing mean?"
Alibaba's producer is having a headache. Why aren't these new directors filling in the plot holes they've planted in their movies? Are they going to have to wait until the end of the film to fill in the gaps?
But your plot so dull and boring, do you really want to improve the quality at the end with a foreshadowing?
Obviously not.
Films directed by well-known directors are generally of higher quality.
Even if foreshadowing is used, the plot will still have some depth.
Okay, let's turn it on 4x speed.
The producer's job is to review and, incidentally, check the quality of the film.
Once he starts watching at 4x speed, all he cares about is the censorship; as long as there's no sensitive content, he'll approve it immediately.
Ten minutes later, the producer discovered several points that contained a great deal of information.
The story in the show clearly states that Truman's father died, and then he encountered him again?
Combined with what we see later... the wife seems to be praising some products to Truman, as if she's advertising them.
Most importantly, the Alibaba producer noticed something: in the first ten minutes or so, two men were complaining that the camera always moved away whenever Truman slept with his wife.
I didn't notice that just now.
Looking back now, there are many unreasonable aspects.
Why does the camera keep panning away?
Damn... how did those two guys know that the protagonist slept with the female lead?
Hiding next door to spy didn't work.
"What a terrible movie... It's full of illogical parts. I can accept the rest, but the protagonist's father died and he still gets to meet him again? That's ridiculous. Is it some kind of science fiction movie?"
The Alibaba-supervised producer practically watched it on fast-forward.
Not only were the movies bad, but they were also Chinese films, which he hated watching the most.
They were all people of Asian descent.
Only a few of the extras were from other countries.
It's notorious that China produces bad movies.
Despite my frustration, I continued watching at 4x speed; I had an hour left to get rid of it.
But then, something else shocked him again.
The story that follows revolves around Truman discovering the truth.
He was watching it at 4x speed up the process.
He didn't realize something was wrong with his wife until he went to the hospital where she worked.
My wife was performing surgery on a patient at the time.
By this point, Truman had already begun to suspect something.
Extending all the way back, I recalled the product my wife had been praising, which was actually an advertisement directed at the camera.
It must be said that Song Zhihua's portrayal of the wife was quite convincing.
Knowing that her husband seemed to have discovered something, she kept using a smile to hide her nervousness. Her nervousness was so genuine, as if she were truly experiencing the event.
Since the story revolves around Truman discovering the truth, the subsequent plot involves Truman trying to see if his guesses and doubts are true.
Drive away!
Coincidentally, as soon as the car left the street, several other cars came out to block or stop it.
Before I had this thought, I wouldn't have thought about it so deeply.
Now that there are doubts and speculations, everything seems so coincidental.
Someone is orchestrating everything behind the scenes.
Upon seeing this, the Alibaba producer suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, turned off the 4x speed, and went back to see the details.
He began to have a chilling thought.
"Isn't this just a slice-of-life family drama?"
The plot is a bit unconventional, and the way of thinking is also unusual.
He was in a daze for a moment after he finished reading it.
The entire plot revolves around Truman being arranged to live and film in a small town for the entire nation to watch.
Everyone around me is fake; they're all actors.
Especially Fan Cong, an actress from China, after discovering that everyone around her was an actress, especially her first love whom she had known for so long... she actually got back together with her.
The first love was played by Lin Chan. When she came back, Truman thought that this was also arranged, and that everything was true!
Finally, this first love revealed the truth.
Truman even knows that his first love was also an actress, just like his current wife, but... the only difference is...
She fell in love with her first love, so she told him the truth. Then the police superintendent in the drama appeared and took her away. The plot took a turn here.
A song from the movie "Ten Years" was played.
That sense of depth immediately comes through.
Because she was my first love, I didn't know her ten years ago.
Because it was her first love, she gave her true feelings, only to find out ten years later that she was an actress.
They're all fake.
It's all fake!!
At this moment, Fan Cong's acting skills went completely off the charts.
There is also a second interlude, which is when Truman discovers the truth of the world and drifts on a boat to the other side of the town, through that door.
He looked back.
That glance, filled with deep melancholy, ultimately brought a sense of liberation and relaxation.
His expression even showed a complex mix of emotions.
Although the truth was eventually revealed.
But... my most precious memories and youth were left in this fake place.
The theme song from "The Wind Rises" powerfully enters the scene in a climax.
One minute later, the curtain falls!
The film concluded with a purely instrumental piece titled "Longing Across Time."
shock!
