A two-hour movie that tells a simple love story.
Zhang Yang is a retired commander of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force. Due to his inability to adapt to the life in the upper city and his addiction to alcohol, his retired life for more than ten years was lonely and painful, and he relied on hallucinogens to fall asleep every night.
One sober midnight, he tried to use Neuromansion's "partner speed dating" function out of boredom. The system matched him with a woman named Xixi based on his life trajectory.
At noon the next day, the two went on their first date. Xixi couldn't stand Zhang Yang's rudeness and looseness, so the date broke up.
Xixi is a devout believer in the Twin Gods, with a piety score of 84. She has even been invited to join the church many times, but she refused every time. As a payload specialist in the marginal business unit of Zos Valve, she prefers space-related work.
After the unpleasant date, Xixi submitted an experiment request for a "dwarf planet heavy element extraction experiment" and was subsequently allowed to board a mining ship affiliated with Deep Space Mining to go to the Varuna Star Mine of the Oort Nebula to conduct experiments.
Unexpectedly, on the day of departure, she met Zhang Yang on the boat.
It turns out that the date failed and Zhang Yang was once again disappointed with Neuromansion. When he was doing nothing, he received a message from his old friend Robben. Robben is a retired Deep Space Defense Front maintenance engineer who was employed by Deep Space Mining after his retirement.
Robben has always been deeply worried about Zhang Yang's decadence. This time he found a reason and applied to the company for Zhang Yang to perform a mining mission on his behalf, so that Zhang Yang could regain his confidence in life during interstellar navigation.
After a lot of force and force, Zhang Yang had to board the mining ship that was about to set off, and met Xi Xi unexpectedly.
Zhang Yang wanted to escape, but was blocked by Robben. After a series of ridiculous coincidences, the pair of men and women who couldn't deal with each other began a one-year voyage.
During the long journey, except for the sleeping time, the two of them almost quarreled. However, in the quarrels, Xixi gradually understood Zhang Yang's heart, learned about the glorious past of a veteran of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force, and the future of his career. Half a period of despair and confusion.
I don’t know when, love secretly sprouted.
However, the mining ship that had just entered the Oort Nebula encountered a sudden comet collision, deviated from its course, suffered a series of thrilling bumps, and crashed into a desolate dwarf planet.
Losing the ability to communicate, the surviving men and women began to struggle to survive.
Using the wreckage of the mining ship, they built a simple base to withstand hurricane after hurricane and violent earthquakes again and again.
They depended on each other for their lives, and talked to each other while living an ignoble existence.
After the food was gone, Xixi taught Zhang Yang how to grow potatoes, how to use propeller fuel to create water, and how to maintain temperature.
They don't know when help will come, tomorrow? the day after tomorrow? The Oort Nebula is too big, and humans have not completely conquered this sea of comets.
However, at the moment when the buds broke out of the ground, they felt the tranquility of life.
Zhang Yang talked about distant interstellar scenes, about supernova explosions, about the magnificent galaxies passing through the regular hexagonal planetary system, and about the gorgeous jump of time and space when the "Needle of Asia" was activated.
Xixi told the story of the Twin Gods, her experiments on Titan, how she got lost in the hazy rain and fog of Titan, and how she thought about giving birth to a girl herself.
pity.
An unimaginable storm destroyed the short-lived beauty.
The base was overturned and the buds withered in the wind.
At the critical moment, Zhang Yang protected Xi Xi with his life. The last words he said were: "Let go and live."
When the hurricane passed by, Xixi lay alone in the ruins of the base without shedding a single tear.
However.
The next moment, Dros's spaceship emerged from the darkness.
Xixi suddenly burst into tears.
At the end of the movie, the pregnant Xixi lowered her head and walked slowly in a green field, accompanied by the softly humming ending song:
"I still remember that the road was filled with bright lights and the lanterns were first lit.
There are diamonds shining in the night sky,
I close my eyes and look at you right here,
But for a moment Huangliang woke up from his dream and his eyes were blinded.
take me Home,
Please take me home,
Back to where my heart is,
Return to my resting place. "
The camera slowly zoomed out, dimmed, and a line of words appeared on the big screen:
Works by Yuan Quan.
Li Liang listened quietly to the humming lingering in his ears, his eyes a little moist.
He thought Yuan Quan would make a dark movie about gangs, depicting blood and suffering from the perspective of urban residents, but he never expected that she would make such a movie.
The plot is a bit cliché, but the emotions contained in it are quite abundant. It details the psychological changes of the male and female protagonists bit by bit, and more importantly, expresses "love".
He once thought that people in uptown no longer cared about "love".
Just like the girl named "Si Si" whom I met when I first came to the moon, she fell in love with K at first sight and immediately started to have sex with him as if no one else was around. Just like what Dr. Xisson described, there are parties every day, and you can have a few hours of love with a different girl every day without any burden on both parties.
Reproduction is entrusted to the fertility center, and material needs can be met at any time. Uptown people only need to pursue their own happiness. Is love, this illusion formed by hormonal changes caused by the need for reproduction, important?
Yuan Quan's film gives a filmmaker's answer: important and great.
Li Liang turned to look at the girl who was still looking at the big screen.
Yuan Quan smiled, grinning and showing his two front teeth: "This movie has never been released to the public, and you are the only audience."
"Why?" Li Liang wondered, "It's very beautiful."
"Really? Thank you," Yuan Quan muttered, and then said loudly, "I can guess what the film critics will say," she imitated a sharp voice, "Oh, thank the Twin Gods, only this era will allow this What do we see when this kind of vulgar movie is released? Xiao Mo’s die-hard fans, a poor script of the retro trend, and clichés praising love!”
"Hahaha" Li Liang was amused by the dancing Yuan Quan.
Yuan Quan shrugged: "Forget it."
"It's not 'dark' enough."
"I also have a movie that has been released, we can." Yuan Quan was just mid-sentence when suddenly, there was a continuous rumbling sound in the dark cinema.
Li Liang was stunned for a moment.
The sound comes from "outside".
He took off the "button" attached to his temple and instantly discovered that the pipe transporter had entered a bright metal pipe.
"We've arrived at the Galaxy," Yuan Quan said regretfully, "There's no time."
Li Liang stood up, sighed silently, and said softly: "I have to go."
"Well," Yuan Quan nodded and handed over the "button" in his hand, "You can look at it when you have time."
"Your movie?"
"Um."
Li Liang nodded, took the "button" and put it into his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around.
The moment he was about to walk into the darkness, Yuan Quan's voice came from behind: "Wait a minute."
He didn't look back.
"Has anyone ever said you look like a statue of the Twin Gods?"
Li Liang was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "No."
"Oh, I want to remake it. If there is a chance, can I invite you to act?" Yuan Quan smiled, "I think you are very suitable to play the twin gods."
Li Liang disappeared into the darkness.
"If you have the chance, yes."
