It took Hong Kong's economy not more than a month to go from thriving to dying collapse.

The stock market, the real estate market plummeted, prices soared, unemployment rate soared, and the security environment deteriorated... Today, Hong Kong is like stalled trucks, rushing down the winding highway, and there is a possibility of being crushed to pieces at any time. For ordinary people, this is no less than the end of the world.

The doomsday is coming, and summer is still making its own movies in the United States.

"Butterfly Effect" is about to be completed, and Xia Tian is considering which ending to choose for the film.

There are four versions of the ending in the previous life of "Butterfly Effect", among which three are happy-ending. The male protagonist Kevin traveled back to the party he met with the heroine Kelly for the first time, warning the heroine to stay away from him. In this way, the female protagonist lives with her younger brother and mother, stay away from the father who has become psychologically titanium, and can grow up healthily and happily.

The male protagonist also grew up happily with his good friend Tony, got into college, and became an excellent psychotherapist. Many years later, he and the female protagonist met by chance on the street.

There are three more branches, one is that the two looked at each other, then went their separate ways, and since then they forgot each other; one is that the male protagonist came forward to chat with the female protagonist and made an appointment to have coffee together; the other is that the male protagonist followed the female protagonist, leaving an open ending.

The tragic ending is when the hero travels back to the day of his birth, then strangles himself to death with an umbilical cord, preventing himself from appearing in this world.

Without his birth, the heroine and her younger brother moved to live with their mother and grew up happily. Her friend Tony also had a happy childhood...

In his previous life, the director of "Butterfly Effect" originally only filmed the tragic ending, but because the ending was too tragic, the producer was worried that it would affect the box office, so he asked the director to make modifications and released three happy endings. Later, when the collector's version of DVD was released, all four endings were included.

I have watched all these four versions of the ending in summer. After consideration, he decided to end it with a tragedy.

First, because summer doesn’t have to consider box office like the original director. This movie was invested in and it doesn’t matter if you lose money, so he doesn’t have to compromise with the box office.

Secondly, because this ending is the most logical story. The director used the protagonist's father's mouth to warn him that he "can't play God." The theme of the movie is that only by making sacrifices can one gain happiness. It can be said that the protagonist's self-sacrifice has maximized the theme of the entire movie.

However, he decided to shoot all four endings and use them when he released the commemorative version of the DVD in the future.

...

You know, the DVD market is becoming more and more prosperous now, and more and more people like to rent a DVD and watch it home.

On the one hand, renting a DVD is very cheap. Renting a DVD is only four dollars, so you can sit together and watch it. But if you go to the theater, a movie ticket costs five dollars. Therefore, in terms of cost, renting a DVD is much more cost-effective than going to the theater.

On the one hand, the selection of DVD content is much richer than that of theaters. You can basically only enjoy the latest movies when you go to the theater, and there are only a dozen options at most. However, there are thousands of options for DVD rentals. Especially movies that have passed the screening period can only be seen in the DVD rental store.

Of course, you can enjoy the latest masterpieces in the theater. Moreover, the audio-visual enjoyment of the theater is absolutely incomparable to the DVD. This is also the reason why the home audio-visual entertainment technology has made great progress, but the theater has not been eliminated.

Because DVD rental is becoming more and more popular, film companies are paying more and more attention to this market. In order to promote the sales and leasing of movie discs, many companies will launch various versions of movie discs, such as the release version, extended version, ungraded version, director editing version, director review version, etc.

Just like the same "Pokemon", there will be sapphire and ruby ​​versions separately. The contents are not much different, and it is nothing more than adding or deleting some content, but it is easy to deceive movie fans' money.

In summer, he made four versions of the ending of "Butterfly Effect". If he plays well, he can even sell four different movies in the future. If movie fans have the desire to collect four movies in one go, he will make three more money in summer.

...

Just as the finale was filmed in the summer, private detectives also investigated Dennis Richards' background clearly.

It turned out that Dennis Richards was born in Chicago City, a 71-year-old and is twenty-five years old this year. His father worked in a telephone company and his mother opened a coffee shop. When he was fifteen, the family moved to California.

After graduating from high school, Dennis came to work in Los Angeles. After working as a model for a while, he played some small roles in film and television dramas. In terms of emotional experience, Dennis Richards's emotional life is relatively simple.

After Qin Fen considered it, he decided to ask her out for a cup of coffee.

...

Dennis Richards was surprised after receiving a call from Xia Tian.

A month ago, she gave her contact information to Xia Tianshi, and fantasized that he would call her soon.

But unexpectedly, she waited for a full month and never called her, which made her exhausted and extremely disappointed, and almost fell seriously ill.

Now, Xia Tian’s phone call finally came, and she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

"Drink coffee? OK, I will definitely arrive." She agreed without hesitation.

...

Baihao Hotel, cafe.

In the summer, Dennis Richards had coffee here at five o'clock.

At 4:30, Xia Tian announced that it would be over early.

Then he took a bus to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, the manager personally received the reception and guided Xia Tian all the way to the cafe.

"Hey, you've arrived. Then it seems I'm late." Seeing that Dennis was already sitting there, Xia Tian smiled.

"No, I'm here long ago." When I saw Xia Tian, ​​Dennis quickly stood up excitedly and waved his hands frequently.

"Well, please sit down." Xia Tian smiled, "I'll give you a little gift."

Then he took out a small box with exquisite packaging from his pocket and handed it to Dennis.

Dennis took it, opened it and was stunned. He saw a ruby ​​ring inside, crystal clear, dazzling, flying like a flame, very eye-catching.

"Wow!" Although he knew Xia Tian was a rich man, Dennis did not expect him to take action so generously. Such a large ruby ​​ring is worth at least five digits.

It was a bit beyond her expectations when I first met. Ordinary people would be very happy to send such a expensive gift. At most, it would be nice to send a bouquet of flowers.

"Do you like it?" Xia Tian smiled.

"Yeah, thank you." Dennis nodded happily.

"Come on, I'll bring it for you." Xia Tian smiled.

Dennis nodded and reached out his hand.

Xia Tian held her hand and gently put the ring on her fingers.

At this moment, there was a click and a flash of flash, which shocked Xia Tian and hurriedly looked over.

But Angelina Jolie was standing not far away with a camera.

The hotel security guard immediately stepped forward, controlled her, and wanted to take off the camera from her hand.
Chapter completed!
