The feature film and easter eggs of "The Phone" represent the two endings of the movie:
The first ending: Shuyan's mother and the witch fell down the stairs together, the witch died, Shuyan was able to escape from the witch's knife, and spent the rest of her life with her mother;
The second ending: Shuyan's mother fell down the stairs with the witch, her mother died (the mother walking on the road at the end of the film disappeared), the witch was resurrected, and after the resurrection, she killed Shuyan who was tied to the basement earlier (at the end of the film wearing a The book research of the white sheet shows a horrified expression).
The first ending is relatively easy to explain. The witch in 1999 used the phone to contact Shuyan in 2019, giving herself the ability to foresee the future indirectly. Relying on the information provided by Shuyan, she did the following things that can change the future :
1. On November 27, 1999, he rescued Shu Yan's father, who should have died at the fire scene;
2. On December 29, 1999, she learned from Shuyan that her stepmother was going to kill her, so she killed her stepmother instead;
3. Killed in sequence on December 30, 1999:
Cheng Hao, a strawberry seller (due to his stepmother's body in the refrigerator);
Shuyan's father (forcing Shuyan in 2019 to help find evidence of his crime);
Kidnapped Xiao Shuyan (same as above) and poured boiling water on Xiao Shuyan;
Scavengers (destroy the evidence murder dagger, avoid getting caught, and avoid being sentenced to life imprisonment);
Police (suspicious of witches)
In the end, on the way to kill Shuyan's mother, she fell down the stairs with her.
Compared with the actions of the witch in 1999, it is not difficult to find that Shuyan and the witch in 2019, their life trajectories have experienced the following rewrites:
Shuyan: Because her father was rescued, Shuyan has a perfect new life for her family;
Lost his childhood friend, Uncle Cheng Hao who sold strawberries;
Losing my father again, getting scalded again;
Because the physical evidence was destroyed, the father died, and the house was not bought. In 2019, I confronted the witch in the witch's house;
The policeman who helped him was killed;
Watching her mother being chased and killed, she and the witch fell from the building.
Witch: Because the stepmother is dead, the witch begins to kill;
Cheng Hao is suspected by Shuyan for killing the strawberry seller, and the relationship with Shuyan breaks down;
Continue to kill Shu Yan's father, scald Xiao Shuyan, and force Shu Yan to continue to be the mouthpiece of her future world;
Due to the destruction of physical evidence, in 2019, I still live happily, and I also met Shuyan who happened to be in this space;
Telephone guidance in 1999, 20 years ago, how to deal with the police and Shuyan's mother who came to search the door;
In 1999, at the age of 28, after killing the police and chasing Shuyan's mother,
In 2019, the 48-year-old witch was slashing at 28-year-old Shuyan with a knife.

I think the key to the plot of the movie "Phone" is actually the moment when the old scavenger was killed by the witch, and the dagger was not burned by the witch. After I understand this node, the easter egg at the end of the film is immediately revealed.
When I watched "Phone" for the first time, to be honest, when I saw that Shuyan suddenly overlapped with the witch in time and space, and the two were in the same room, I was puzzled. It wasn't until the second time that I realized that I had made a mistake. , is that what I understand as Shuyan and Witch's time and space overlap? ——That is not a time-space overlap at all, and it should be the witch's house!
You see, in 1999, the witch killed the scavenger and destroyed the murder dagger, so she was not caught by the police and was not sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, then she should have been in this house since 1999. Lived to 2019, when she was 48 years old. It is proved from another direction that the house could not be sold because of the death of the witch's stepmother and the death of Shuyan's father, so this house could not become Shuyan's home at all.
In other words, on the afternoon of December 30, 1999, when the scavengers and murder daggers were destroyed by the witch, the witch saved her own destiny and lived unharmed until the age of 48, and Shuyan, who happened to be here at that time, It's just that he entered the witch's house before he could correct his own future. After all, he was just an intruder who invaded other people's houses.
Next,
The fight of a house is mixed in two planes:
At the same time that Shuyan and the witch in 2019 fought to the death, mother Shuyan and the witch in 1999 were also in the battle of whether you died or I lived,
As a result, the mother Shuyan and the witch in 1999 perished together, which made the witch in 2019 disappear, and Shuyan survived in the end.
Of course, the story in the easter egg is the opposite version:
Shuyan and the Witch in 2019, Shuyan's mother and the Witch in 1999, two groups of people fighting,
The result of the fight is that the witch wins, the mother dies,
So at the easter egg, you can see that the mother who was walking on the road with Shuyan disappeared,
The 48-year-old witch reminded the 28-year-old witch that she must keep her phone handy and not throw it away under any circumstances.
Then he turned his head to the basement and killed Shuyan who was tied to a chair. (The Shuyan on the chair here is 28-year-old Shuyan, which can be understood as an artistic treatment.)
