Chapter 156: Reversal? Reversal!
Chapter 156: Reversal? Reversal! (Additional chapters for 4 monthly tickets in April)
The plot is nearing its end. Under Ruan Wen's persuasion, Li Wen tells everything to the police and is granted the right to be released on bail.
However, seeing such a straightforward plot, some viewers were somewhat dissatisfied.
In their opinion, perhaps the texture and rhythm of the entire film are very compact, and the scenes of making counterfeit money are also very detailed, which is eye-catching.
But the whole story is a bit monotonous and boring, lacking some unexpected surprises.
They could even guess that with Li Wen being released on bail, the escaped "painter" would inevitably cause trouble for Li Wen.
Then, justice will inevitably triumph over evil, and the "painter" will either be arrested by the police who are lying in ambush around Li Wen, or shot dead. The result is no more than this.
The subsequent development of the film seemed to confirm their guess. With Li Wen's cooperation, the Hong Kong police also obtained a portrait of the "painter" William, and took action to prepare to issue a wanted order for the "painter".
At this time, the female police officer who was determined to arrest the "painter" was smoking a cigarette after working all night, when she unexpectedly saw the "painter" walk into the police station.
This scene, of course, also appeared before the eyes of the audience, who were surprised by the audacity of the "painter".
After all, this is a police station. How dare he walk in so brazenly without even a little disguise? !
Of course, the audience didn’t know where the “painter”’s confidence came from, but the “painter” who walked into the police station was eventually captured by the special police department led by a female police officer.
Even though he was agile and managed to knock down several special police officers with his smoke bombs, he still fell down twitching under the attack of the Taser.
However, when the senior police officers arrived, the direction of the whole story was completely beyond the expectations of many viewers.
It turns out there is no such thing as a "painter"!
The arrested "painter" was actually just a foreign special police officer who was about to retire. He had only come to the police station to handle his retirement procedures these two days. The only time he had met Li Wen was when Li Wen was escorted out of the car yesterday. The two looked at each other.
"What kind of plane is this? Commander He, we worked together before, don't you remember? I'm Brian from the special forces!"
As Brian, who looked like the "painter", shouted loudly, the policewoman who was chasing the "painter" widened her eyes, and then the scene began to flash back rapidly.
When Li Wen got off the escort vehicle, he looked into the eyes of the "painter" William.
Originally, the "painter" was supposed to be explaining to the gang how to make watermarks, but when the camera panned and switched, the figure of the "painter" turned into Li Wen.
Then there was the warlord fight in the Golden Triangle, the Canadian ink robbery, the trading of counterfeit money with criminals, and the shooting of Uncle Xin. In all of this, the figure of "painter" William was replaced by Li Wen.
"Hurry to the hotel!"
As the policewoman screamed in anger after being fooled, the audience at the scene, like many policemen in the movie, woke up.
"Awesome!"
This was the voice of the audience, including the actors in the front row and the invited media reporters and guests, who were all shocked by the plot twist in the movie.
Everything seems to be clear, yet everything seems to be still shrouded in layers of fog.
What is true? What is false? Does the "painter" really exist? Or is he just an illusion created by Li Wen?
No one knew, and no one was clear. Even the leading actor Aaron Kwok, who was sitting in the first row, was thrown into confusion after watching the movie he had filmed.
"Is this really the movie I'm starring in? Why does it feel different from when I first read the script? Did I misunderstand it?"
Originally, as for the plot, everyone just followed the rhythm of the movie and watched it for excitement.
However, after this reversal, everyone has to start thinking.
However, the audience’s thoughts are their own business, and the story in the movie continues.
"I just found out that the real Ruan Wen is currently painting in the northwest of the mainland. Since her husband was arrested by the police, she has stayed there and has never left. The Ruan Wen we saw yesterday was a fake. The Ruan Wen we saw yesterday was a fake. Ask Inspector He to answer the phone!"
Following the words of the Chief of Police, some of the doubts among the crowd seemed to be resolved, but more new questions arose.
As for the real "painter" Li Wen and the fake Ruan Wen, they had already boarded the speedboat and were about to escape from the police.
On the speedboat, Ruan Wen looked at the letter that Li Wen wrote to her in prison at the beginning of the movie.
As the letter was opened, a hand-drawn portrait of a person appeared in the camera.
At this time, the plot flashed back again, and the audience finally understood.
It turned out that when Li Wen rescued Wu Xiuqing at the warlord's residence, Wu Xiuqing was burned by the fire, so Li Wen specially had someone change Wu Xiuqing's face and made her look like Nguyen Van. He even bought her a new passport with the name Nguyen Van on it.
It was also because of this that when Wu Xiuqing discovered that she was just a substitute for Ruan Wen, she decided to go to the mainland to kill Ruan Wen in anger.
The reason why Li Wen came out from his hiding place was to stop Ruan Wen.
If Li Wen had not been arrested by the Thai police for using counterfeit money and had not written a letter to Wu Xiuqing in prison, I am afraid Ruan Wen would have been in great danger.
In the big screen of the movie, Li Wen and Wu Xiuqing, who looks like Ruan Wen, are driving a speedboat across the sea.
However, amid the melodious music, Wu Xiuqing threw away the letter paper with his previous appearance drawn on it, and turned off the engine of the speedboat.
Such strange behavior naturally made Li Wen very confused.
"Why are you stopping the boat?" Li Wen put down the champagne in his hand and walked behind Wu Xiuqing.
Wu Xiuqing said, "I'm tired."
"Then let me do it."
Li Wen said hurriedly, but he didn't expect Wu Xiuqing to be sitting in the driver's seat with no intention of moving.
"I am really tired. I finally understand that we are like this boat, spinning in circles all the time and will never move forward."
Li Wen realized something was wrong at this time, looked at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
Wu Xiuqing stood up with a smile, and remembered what Li Wen said to her last night: "Sometimes fake is better than real. As long as we try our best to love sincerely, isn't that enough?"
She felt heartbroken at that time, but after pondering for a night, she now seemed to have figured something out.
"What you said last night was absolutely right, but whether it was true or not, what does it matter?
The most important thing is that we are together, that’s all.”
Wu Xiuqing looked at Li Wen and smiled brightly. When the coast guard ship in the distance gradually approached and when Li Wen saw the bomb on the driving seat and changed color, her smile became more calm and relaxed.
Maybe it is true as Li Wen said, she is fake and can never become real, and can never replace Ruan Wen's position in Li Wen's heart, but so what, they will still be together in the end. This is the best ending, isn't it?
"Are you sure I'm not Ruan Wen?"
Wu Xiuqing asked this question with a smile, and then, at Li Wen's shaking head and the gaze of the female police officer, she let go of the bomb detonator in her hand.
boom!
