Chapter 498

The two entered the theater.

Sitting in their seats, James looked around; it was almost full.

"Bro, there are a lot of people."

"That's not surprising. Although I didn't like the two movies Qin directed before, they were just gimmick movies."

"But I have to admit that as commercial films, they are very good, with strong selling points. Qin is very successful as a commercial director."

"And the elements inside……"

James nodded. He actually liked *Now You See Me* and *The Matrix*; they were very good.

But he didn't know why Michael didn't like them.

What was even stranger was that even though they had different tastes, they could still be good friends.

James shook his head; with his IQ, he shouldn't think about such profound questions.

A few minutes later.

The movie started.

Michael sat straight in his seat, his eyes fixed on the huge screen in front.

Meticulous.

*The Chumen World* actually wasn't as boring as other art films.

The movie started with Qin Yu appearing in front of a mirror.

Washing his face and brushing his teeth.

After that, it was just some daily routines. After Chumen, played by Qin Yu, finished tidying up and said goodbye to his wife.

He prepared to go to work.

As soon as he stepped out, he met his neighbors.

Chumen, played by Qin Yu, smiled brightly.

"Good morning, Chumen."

"Good morning."

"Oh, by the way, in case I don't see you again."

"Good afternoon, good evening, and good night~"

After saying that, Qin Yu smiled very happily.

"It's pretty good, Michael. The movie is just some daily routines, but it looks very warm."

"Could it be a warm healing movie?"

"Seeing Qin smile, I couldn't help but smile too."

Michael didn't speak, his brows slightly furrowed; he felt something was unusual.

The mirror at the beginning seemed to be hinting at something, and the movie's visuals were too perfect.

Even perfect to the point of being unreal.

"Maybe."

But just as Michael finished speaking, on the screen, Chumen, played by Qin Yu, had just gotten into his car when a huge, unknown machine fell from the sky.

It crashed onto Chumen's car.

Michael quickly became serious.

But he also became very confused; it seemed like nothing much.

This machine had fallen from a plane.

Afterwards, accompanied by light music, the movie returned to peace.

Many people on the road would kindly pull Chumen over to talk.

The whole journey was warm and healing; the residents of Peach Blossom Island seemed very friendly.

"Could it really be a warm healing movie?"

Michael muttered.

But not long after, an accident happened. On his way to work, Chumen actually saw his father, who had drowned to death.

He was very surprised, and his father also stared at him blankly.

Chumen wanted to find his father, but he didn't expect that many people along the way would block him.

Finally, his father was forcibly sent onto a bus by the crowd.

"No, there's a problem."

Michael reacted quickly, his young face full of excitement.

He saw the problem; there was something wrong with this island.

The residents inside also had problems.

"What problem? Maybe Chumen just recognized the wrong person; his father has been dead for over twenty years."

Michael rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to this guy.

He shook his head and continued watching the movie.

Not long after, Chumen also discovered the problem; he seemed to be the center of the world.

Everyone around him seemed to be living around him.

Everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on him.

Even his closest wife had a problem.

When Chumen was looking at a photo, he suddenly discovered his wife's strange gesture.

This gesture seemed to be begging God for forgiveness.

As the plot developed, many people in the theater also felt a hint of weirdness.

"Michael, you're right, there's a problem with this movie."

"Hmph, I told you long ago. Could it be the same as *The Matrix*? A virtual world?"

Michael frowned; if it were really like that, he would definitely sneer at it.

*The Matrix* had already used this gimmick; if it were used again, it would make Qin look like he had run out of talent.

But when the camera panned, Michael was also surprised.

In a bar, several waiters and some customers were watching TV.

On the screen was Chumen, played by Qin Yu.

"What is Chumen doing?"

"Don't you know? He's watching his first love."

"First love?"

"In the nine-thousand-something episode, they met when they graduated."

"I have the disc at home; I'll lend it to you later."

"Sure, thanks~"

"……"

In an instant, everyone in the theater was stunned. Discs, TV.

This turned out to be a live broadcast, a live broadcast about Chumen's life.

A reality show.

No wonder.

Michael understood instantly; he understood everything.

The thing that fell in front of Chumen's house earlier wasn't a plane part at all, but a huge camera.

Everyone was kindly greeting Chumen just to advertise.

Even his wife was the same.

No wonder every time she talked to Chumen, she would introduce the things in her hand.

Even the old man he met might have been his father.

The entire Peach Blossom Island was a huge film set.

Soon, the movie confirmed his guess.

Chumen also gradually realized something was wrong and wanted to leave Peach Blossom Island.

But everything didn't go as he wished, whether it was planes, ships, or even wanting to drive away.
