Chapter 2, Movies from the Future

The lines on the big screen are exactly the same as what Wang Yang had said in advance, word for word. Moreover, the scenes in Wang Yang's mind are also identical to those on the screen. In other words, the "City of Angels" that exists in his mind is indeed this one; he is not experiencing a mental breakdown.

However, Wang Yang had already appreciated "Titanic" when it was first released, so he did not choose this film. After browsing through the movies in his mind and the posters on the wall, Wang Yang opted for a new release this week, "City of Angels"

Movie? I must have gone crazy from being hit. Or, I've heard that when a person is about to die, they will see some invisible things, illusions, and so on...! ... Wang Yang was overwhelmed by these images and sounds, lost in his thoughts, but he quickly became completely engrossed, as these movies were truly spectacular

"What do you mean?" Maggie asked in confusion

Los Angeles certainly does not lack for cinemas. Located in the city center, Wang Yang walked for a while but did not go far. This area was relatively familiar to him, and soon he arrived in front of a medium-sized cinema. The wall of the ticket booth was covered with posters of currently showing films. The romantic poster of "Titanic," featuring Jack and Rose striking a flying pose at the bow of the ship, still occupied a prominent position. The film was still being screened, marking its 17th week in release. Despite having already grossed over 500 million in North America, its momentum remained strong.

What kind of record does Tianhe - Tu - Shu know it will ultimately set?

Once again... Wang Yang continued to murmur: "What do you mean? Oh, I mean, why does the body exhibit the behavior of crying? Oh, well, um, the function of the tear glands is to lubricate and protect the eyes. When you are emotionally stirred, the tear glands will secrete tears"

This, this is true

As he watched Seth on the screen about to speak to Maggie, Wang Yang murmured, "Why do people cry..."

Oh heavens, can someone tell me what is happening?! Am I going crazy?! Wang Yang heavily patted his own head, then frantically rubbed his hair for a while, but the images remained there, not only failing to disappear but becoming even clearer...! These images seemed to be from movies and TV shows, with spectacular scenes and profoundly moving lines...!

"Why do people cry?" Seth said to Maggie on the big screen

Thank God! It landed right on your head when it fell, and you weren't hurt. The blonde woman tenderly hugged the baby in her arms, then awkwardly apologized again: I am very sorry, I accidentally let it slip just now, fortunately, sir, you were not injured

Please give me a ticket for "City of Angels," thank you. Since it was daytime, there weren't many people in line at the ticket counter, and Wang Yang quickly purchased a ticket. Habitually, he also bought a bucket of popcorn, and with a cardboard box in one hand and a bucket of popcorn in the other, he walked into the cinema.

The cinema was very quiet, with only the voices of the characters on the screen. Wang Yang was completely focused on the large screen; Nicolas Cage's performance was outstanding, yet Wang Yang's attention was entirely on the visuals and the dialogue.

Wang Yang was momentarily stunned, his heart suddenly racing, as his imaginative mind told him that this was a movie from the future

Damn it, am I going to meet God himself? Wang Yang's mind was filled with a chaotic array of images and a series of incomprehensible dialogues, constantly shifting and surging in, as if it were a rapidly playing movie, one after another, bizarre and fantastical

Before long, with the conclusion of the advertisement, the film officially begins. "City of Angels," starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan, is a romantic love story that roughly narrates how an angel named Seth (played by Nicolas Cage) falls in love with a female doctor named Maggie (played by Meg Ryan). In order to be with Maggie for a lifetime, he is willing to give up his angelic identity to become mortal. However, after a brief period of happiness, Maggie tragically dies in a car accident.

Wang Yang raised his head, gazing at the expanse of blue sky above Los Angeles, and slowly exhaled, well then, let's determine the truth from the falsehoods

When they ask me what I love the most, I will tell them... it is you. With Maggie's passing, the film also came to an end. Wang sat dazedly against the back of the chair, having not missed a single shot or misread a single line in the 114-minute film

Seeing Wang Yang with no reaction, lying motionless on the ground, the noblewoman couldn't help but feel a bit worried, and asked again: "Sir, sir, are you alright?"

However, including the bystanders around, no one thought that Wang Yang would have any issues; he was merely bumped on the backside by a stroller covered in cartoon stickers. It wasn't as if he were an old man leaning on a cane, so what could possibly happen?

Suddenly, the fast-forwarding film reached its end, and with a click, both the image and sound vanished, abruptly returning to the real world. Wang Yang exclaimed, instinctively rising to his feet, bouncing up from the ground. He brushed off the dust from his clothes, saying, "It's nothing, I'm fine, it's nothing!"

The cinema was shrouded in darkness, with only the large screen at the front radiating light. The audience was scattered in their seats, and essentially, you could sit wherever you liked. Wang Yang found a good spot to sit down, watching the advertisements on the big screen while casually eating popcorn, waiting for the movie to begin

The information in Wang Yang's mind indicated that "Titanic" would gross 600 million at the North American box office, plus over 1.2 billion overseas, totaling 1.843 billion U.S. dollars globally! This is a myth, a groundbreaking myth! This is also Wang Yang's dream

I can't believe it, I can't believe the books! Is this true? ... Wang Yang stared in astonishment, his mouth agape, completely at a loss as to what to do. Was it that his nerves had gone awry, leading him to think that these images he imagined were classics; or was it all truly real?

What the hell! Isn't that Leonardo DiCaprio, the male lead of "Titanic"? How has he become so haggard, so fat and old? Oh my God, what movie is this... Unbelievable... "Foundation"?! A movie released in 2010?! Please, it's 1998 now!

Wang Yang, who studies directing, is very clear about how classic these ghostly things are! However, the question arises: among the classic films in this world, there is not a single one that he has not seen. Yet, the films that inexplicably appear in his mind are ones he has indeed never watched! Moreover, he has not even heard of them!

"Oh, what I mean is, why does the body exhibit the behavior of crying?" Seth was quite puzzled. Maggie paused for a moment and said, "Oh, well, um, the functioning of the tear glands..."

The images in his mind all come from the future

Wang Yang glanced behind him and was both amused and exasperated to discover that the one who had knocked him over was actually a baby stroller! He looked at the astonished lady and asked, "Is the baby alright?"

Suddenly, his thoughts became clear. It was probably when he was knocked down by the stroller that, for some unknown reason, many future movies and TV shows flooded into his mind. He did not know how they came to be there, but they were just piled up.

What are those images and sounds all about? Wang Yang sat down on a long bench by the roadside, calming himself and attempting to recall those visuals. It was as if a door to a room opened in his mind, a room filled with rolls of film. As long as he thought of playing them, those images would clearly appear in his mind, one shot after another, one line of dialogue after another

"Oh, sir, are you alright?" The blonde noblewoman, with a look of fright on her face, hurriedly picked up her baby, ensuring the child was unharmed before letting out a sigh of relief. She then bent down, her face filled with concern and apology as she looked at Wang Yang on the ground

This minor incident on the road passed without a hitch, and the street in Los Angeles quickly returned to order. After repeatedly apologizing, the lady pushed her stroller away, leaving only Wang Yang aware that something had occurred.

In his mind, countless films were stored, including those from 1998. Wang Yang's idea was simple: to watch a newly released film that he had not seen before, yet existed in his mind. If they matched, then it would be real

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Wang Yang smiled. At that moment, the vehicles waiting at the traffic light saw that he was fine and honked their horns a few times. Wang Yang gestured to those vehicles with a quick signal, then swiftly picked up the scattered items on the ground and returned them to the cardboard box. Most of these items were books on directing, along with some toy models of cameras.
