After lunch, the warm winter sun was just right, so Xu Chaohan and Chen Lan sat on the sofa watching TV.

There was no communication, no embarrassment, a warm and peaceful atmosphere slowly overflowed in the living room.

Chen Lan brought a bunch of snacks, opened a bag of jerky and threw it to Xu Chaohan, then leaned cross-legged on the sofa, gathering his scattered hair. Seeing Xu Chaohan looking at him in surprise, his cheeks were a little shy, and then he said angrily: "What are you looking at?"

"Why do you like snacks so much?"

In Xu Chaohan's heart, Chen Lan has always been a person with a very regular and respectable life, but at this time, he saw Chen Lan's unrestrained appearance, which was a bit funny.

Hearing this, Chen Lan pulled the pillow covering her legs and rushed towards Xu Chaohan: "I don't want to eat it and return it to me-"

"How is that possible?"

Xu Chaohan avoided Chen Lan's attack and said with a smile.

The atmosphere is harmonious.

Looking at the smile on Xu Chaohan's face, Chen Lan was very happy. She had no breath of fireworks at home except for her aunt, and she was not like a family. However, Xu Chaohan's arrival suddenly made her feel refreshed, and even the tasteless snacks she ate on weekdays were particularly compatible.

"By the way, do you have any plans this year?"

After a while, Chen Lan and Xu Chaohan stopped playing. Some things were too much, especially when men and women were alone in the same room.

That's why Chen Lan asked Xu Chaohan.

Xu Chaohan smiled when he heard this, and then thought for a while before saying, "After Resident Evil, there is a small-budget movie that I want to make--"

After a pause, Xu Chaohan said to Chen Lan: "It's an art film."

There was indescribable joke and playfulness in his tone.

In the early stage of filming of "Resident Evil", he was terrified by a group of film critics and scholars. He was arrogant, overestimated, and had no idea how much he could, and so on, so he was relieved to Xu Chaohan for not having money. So Xu Chaohan was a little angry when he thought about it, so he prepared an art film and wanted to slap those idiots in the face.

As for this low-cost movie, Xu Chaohan had a sudden idea.

That is "Manchester by the Sea".

What is despair?

What is a walking dead?

This movie interprets these very well.

A person who lives like a walking corpse can survive in the world. No one can resolve the pain he experiences, and even death is a kind of relief.

This is a movie that definitely doesn't have the courage to watch for a second time.

The whole movie does not have a touching cry or a big scene, but with the promotion of the plot, the feeling of despair and depression is like overflowing from the screen, making people suffocate and unable to breathe.

In terms of commercialization, "Manchester by the Sea" is definitely not a big-name commercial film, probably because this movie is so depressing that the audience feels that the colors of the world are all dark.

But from another perspective, this documentary-style work has enough tension and the actor's performance. At some moments when the emotions are released the strongest, the audience can feel more sincere from the atmosphere and performance. Such a story certainly cannot relax the audience, but it has another "release" effect, which will make the audience cherish the happiness in front of them more.

This is a story without reversal and positive energy, and from the perspective of the audience, the movie "Manchester by the Sea" is simply overwhelming.

It's simply a pity that penetrates the center of the earth.

The male protagonist lee     chandler is still alive, but in fact he is dead. The movie uses a narrative method of flashback, and inserts the reason why he accidentally caused a son and a daughter to be burned to death in the decadent process of lee    chandler.

The biggest feature of this movie is that it uses the first perspective of lee chandler to look at the progress of the entire event, and does not open up the perspective of omniscient and omnipotent God, so the whole movie has a strong sense of substitution. Both advantages and disadvantages. Also, because the narrative of the first perspective is adopted, the story in the camera is incomplete, and some details are involved, so it cannot be explained clearly.

The movie is divided into two clues. The hidden thread is the broken family caused by the tragedy of Chandler's family. The open thread is the lee. Chandler's brother passed away, and the nephew left behind needs his guardianship. One is the father who cannot get out of the pain of losing his son, and the other is the son of his father. These two people with special identities come together, and various life contradictions have become a profound discussion on family affection.

This film does not seem to care about conveying a value or bringing a dramatic visual presentation through the reversal of positive energy, but only conveys such a lost emotion, which makes the audience almost desperate.

Xu Chaohan did not describe the story in detail to Chen Lan, but just joked that it was a sad story.

Is it literary?

In the eyes of the so-called film critics in China, literature and art are flaws, and they must not be perfect, nor can they make people laugh. They must be suppressed, and the suppressed audience burst into tears.

Moreover, in this atmosphere, they also have a lot of so-called spiritual cores, aiming at what insights you can gain after watching the movie.

This is an art film.

This is the style and logo of an excellent director.

In addition, no matter how much the box office of "Resident Evil" reaches, it is false and soulless-

Xu Chaohan sneered at this and wanted to curse.

Go fucking.

Because of this default industry rule, some famous or new directors seem to have entered a dead end. Even a shit movie is mixed with some high-end and interesting philosophy of life, just like sketches. It is obviously entertaining and funny, but in the end it has to preach and sensational.

I'm mixed with the shit and enjoy it.

So, under this circumstance, Xu Chaohan wanted to bring out this movie that was so devastated.

Don’t you like to suppress and like defects?

Such a movie that is so devastated that all gods and ghosts are probably in line with the appetites of these film critics.

Xu Chaohan thought secretly.

When Chen Lan heard Xu Chaohan say it was a sad story, he became interested, and then he acted like he was breaking the casserole and asked to the end. In the end, Xu Chaohan couldn't stand it and could only roughly reveal the outline of the story.

Then Chen Lan was stunned.

What kind of brain circuit can write such a script?

Killing someone to kill his heart—

Such a movie has no room for reversal.

Just thinking about it, because of my mistake, three young children were killed in the sea of ​​fire. Anyone with a little human touch, I am afraid that this life will only be like a walking corpse.

Even death is a kind of happiness.

"If you really make this movie, I warn you not to know me-"

Chen Lan looked at Xu Chaohan with a vigilant expression.

Xu Chaohan laughed and didn't care when he heard this.

He also wanted to use this movie to help Will Cage turn the tables.

"Manchester by the Sea" has won 9 nominations and 19 awards in another world. This film has won one of the top ten films of the American Film Association and won the Oscar for Best Drama Trailer.

It's enough to shut up many film critics who are still criticizing Xu Chaohan's young film critics.

Of course, in addition to the bad taste of slapping some people in the face, Xu Chaohan chose this movie because the production cost of this movie is low enough.

There are no extra visual effects blockbusters, and the plot is driven entirely by the actors' performances. As long as the filming is done, the movie will become a textbook-like classic.

This is Xu Chaohan's courage to make up his mind.

Seeing Xu Chaohan's lazy expression, Chen Lan laughed and shook her head and ignored it.

Listening to this story alone is enough to make her sad. If this movie is released, she will definitely avoid it early—

——

The warm winter sun shines on your body through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The sun is bright but not dazzling. When the sun gradually sinks, the bored Chen Lan remembers something, then jumps off the sofa, and then hurried into his bedroom in Xu Chaohan's inexplicable eyes.

It took Chen Lan a long time to walk out of the room.

Chen Lan changed out of loose home decoration, wore a pair of simple jewel blue jeans, and a pair of simple flat shoes and a bun with her originally loose hair, which made her fair neck look more elegant and slender.

Chen Lan put on light makeup and struggled to bring a set of live broadcast equipment. Seeing this, Xu Chaohan quickly got up and put on the handle. Then, with a wry smile on Chen Lan's excited expression.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Chaohan had no choice but to take the baseball cap thrown by Chen Lan, then laughed in silence, and threw it aside.

"I'm bored, start a live broadcast-"

Perhaps because he is used to being lonely on weekdays, Chen Lan was obviously very excited. At this moment, Chen Lan did not have the intellectual and elegant appearance in the past, and she looked like a little girl.

However, Xu Chaohan can also understand Chen Lan's current mood.

As her, she naturally has no way to enjoy herself. Ordinary people's usual shopping trips are a luxury for her. On weekdays, Chen Lan is either busy with work or staying at home to watch TV. Xu Chaohan may be willing to enjoy such a day, but for Chen Lan, it is very monotonous.

Now that the family has finally become more popular, Chen Lan's reaction is so abnormal.

Even, they brought a bunch of snacks to coax Xu Chaohan.

Smiling and shook his head, Xu Chaohan let it go.

"Do you want to help you with light makeup? It's more natural to be on camera-"

Chen Lan hurriedly set up the live broadcast equipment. If this scene was filmed, it would probably be the headlines.

When did the queen also care so much about live broadcast?

After a long time of trouble, Chen Lan looked at Xu Chaohan and asked in a prank.

Xu Chaohan had a black look on his face.

Only then did Chen Lan decisively break this topic.
