Watching "Shattering Thief 2", you may be dazzled by the protagonist's super fast speech rate, fast progress of events, and even fast switching scenes, but another The problem is the plausibility of the story. Many people who haven't watched the previous work said that the rest of the time is basically in the clouds except Jay Chou's appearance to keep up with the rhythm. What is worth affirming is that even those who have seen the previous work will not understand this movie.
After reading it, I thought for a while, and suddenly a feeling entered my mind. This may not be a gorgeous magic show at all, but a luxurious "death show" that can currently be done by human beings. Next, it's better to sort out the story of "Now You See Me 2" from the beginning.
In fact, the whole movie has nothing to do with the "Four Horsemen of the Eyes of the Sky", nor is it a continuation of the grievances between Dylan and Bradley. The central character is Walter.
This person is known as a scientific genius, coupled with a prominent family, he could have been rich for a lifetime. It is a pity that, for some unknown reason, in order to escape prison, he must bear the name of dead. It is obvious that he can live a "rich second-generation" life with a big swagger, but he can only hide in the dark and luxurious every day. For such a talented person, it is definitely unbearable for a long time, and the main psychological problem is also prone to problems.
Sure enough, this dear man's brain became hot, and he decided to go to prison to restrain the Fa. After the Fa was finished, it would be better to come out and live a normal high-profile life. But then I thought about it, a lot of people thought I was dead, and in today's world there is not a whole week of headlines, and all famous people have to be forgotten. After a few years in prison, how many people will remember me when I come out? So, Walter decided to make "the fact that he didn't die and then went back to jail" to everyone on the planet. In this way, going to prison will also be accompanied by a full sense of security and a sense of anticipation of being released from prison. But Walter knew that he couldn't do it himself and could only turn to his father's strength.
If the world is really that big, Walter's father is none other than Arthur. The two of them summed up, and the strength needed this time is "to harm themselves as their own responsibility, and the means of harm must be cool enough, and at the same time, they must be known to the world." The old man suddenly slapped his forehead. Some time ago, four buddies happened to cheat me for more than 100 million, and then is the world famous? Is there any other choice for this life?
So the father and son hit it off and decided to let the "Four Horsemen" help.
However, the life on the Four Horsemen's side is not very easy at present. The most talented Daniel is suffering from "bulkhead disease" and cannot extricate himself. He thinks that he is fully capable of doing "Dylan", so he does not want to be directed anymore; "The Four Horsemen" became famous After that, some poor relatives of the members began to ask for money, such as Merritt's younger brother; as for Jack, who performed street magic and stole something by the way, it was the most worry-free, but he was also dead, which would affect the overall process. Not to mention the impact of Henry, who left the team silently, on the team.
Therefore, after learning of this situation, the Walter father and son have no idea what effect the team can make now. Therefore, we can only secretly get in touch with the opponent's core Daniel first.
Daniel thought after learning that, it's a good thing, now he is in the stage of "people are scattered and the team is not easy to lead", it is better to use this to solve the troubles of the members, and to enhance his leadership ability. . The two parties hit it off at random, but after all, customers have high requirements, at least they have to give a guarantee, how much movement can they make about the dead man. Daniel thought for a while and said, it just so happens that my team has someone like you, so let's use him as a preview first, and then your movements will be guaranteed to be bigger than this. But we can only do magic, so you have to cut a video for me to use later. And there is another condition, I want to play with my brother by myself, and you have to help me get Dylan away. Then you have to feel satisfied with the rehearsal, take us to Macau, and that's it.
Seeing that the other party was so sincere, without saying a word, Walter decided to actively cooperate. So, the first lively magic show started. But Daniel kept a careful thought. After all, this matter has not been finalized, and he can't tell the team members immediately, and Daniel has no idea whether Jack can accept the exposure of his identity. So, let's let everyone finish the show without knowing it.
Fortunately, everyone had a good tacit understanding. The whole show basically followed Daniel's plan, summoning new members, exposing Jack's existence, and making a very loud voice. Daniel kept watching the live broadcast and found that the effect was good, and immediately decided to let the four join the team. Even the air tickets were booked in minutes, and the group came to Daniel in the fog.
So far, Daniel's comeback show has officially entered the preparatory period. But after all, he's an IT man, and his ability to express himself is not good. After talking for a long time, except for Daniel, the other three people didn't understand and almost left. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Daniel used his leadership to retain the three and draw a beautiful pie of freedom.
The three of them thought about it later. After all, they have been hiding for a long time. At this time, there is no reason why someone can praise themselves like this. But after all, it is a high-profile show, so it is necessary to train the team and cultivate tacit understanding. After a few people combined, they decided to use the most basic magic trick of collecting cards to find their feelings.
Next is another practice exercise. Four people are in a closed space, trying their best to make cards, and they are desperate. But who would have known that they were acting very seriously, and the Four Knights suddenly became very playful and did not play cards according to the routine at all. It should have been a team battle, but it turned into a solo show of four people, and others had no choice but to cooperate. Everyone watched the four people pass a broken card around like monkeys, and they had to pretend to be invisible and play the role of monkeys.
Finally, when one of the group performers couldn't take it anymore and was about to get angry, the Four Horsemen felt that the game was almost over, and then they returned.
After practicing for a while, the comeback drama was finally put on the agenda. Everyone had a good time at first, but unexpectedly, there was an unexpected scene-Dylan came here. Originally, Daniel wanted to fully attribute the credit for this incident to himself, so when Dylan came, he was naturally afraid of being robbed of the first credit, and began to feel scruples.
Seeing that the Walters were fine, suddenly Daniel began to waver, so he brought him angrily and wanted to have a good talk with him.
The content is also very simple. We have finalized the sale here, so don't make trouble. But Dylan refused to accept it, thinking that he was still the boss. In fact, the father and son also know Dylan's role in this team, but out of respect for Daniel, how can he be convinced to accept Dylan? At this time, Bradley came up with a tricky plan. The four little brothers were still inexperienced, so they honestly let him return to the organization.
Next, the main event finally kicked off. Everyone is doing their best for this matter. First of all, the huge sum of money that the Four Knights made through Arthur has already made the audience look forward to it. Arthur also fully handed over the programming rights to the Four Knights, and at the same time he used his strength. Let the local police give some cooperation.
The warm-up session is a few little magic tricks.
Several people drew inspiration from the footprints of Chinese director Zhang Yimou in the 28th Olympic Games and started to build momentum for the home event through magic shows along the way. On the other hand, Arthur also began to prepare nervously and orderly on the "airplane" at the main venue. In fact, everyone has already seen the big scene. As long as everything is done step by step, there should be no problem. Only Walter hasn't appeared in the public for a long time, so he has been using the walkie-talkie in the waiting area to ask which link is he, and his nervousness is beyond words...
Finally got to the final home show. Walter relaxed for a moment, the whole performance was natural, and the father and son also entered the play instantly, and the performance was mesmerizing. This made the four knights who were in the show a little uncomfortable. The young man was always so nervous before, who would have known how powerful he would be in actual combat. Thinking of this, everyone began to have a tendency to laugh. Walter and his son wanted to add more lines, but when they saw that the momentum was not right, they hurried to the end, and threw them off the plane to complete the final performance.
So far, this "resurrection from the dead" and "high-profile prison" show has come to an end in the eyes of people around the world. Walter also fulfilled his wish and went to prison with confidence.
One step further.
The so-called "Ginger is still too old", Bradley, who has been watching, suddenly realized that there is still one more explanation. If the people know that this is a show, then the effect of the campaign will be greatly reduced. So I hurriedly contacted the knights, and I had to give an explanation for this matter, or it would be bad to explain it until the masses figured out how it happened that everything went smoothly. The knights also accepted this statement, but after all, they are still young, and it is a bit difficult to face this problem. What should I say? Bradley took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I still think about it, just organize the team members to come over..."
At this point, everything is finally over.
Perhaps, the development of the story in this way can better explain the film with Walter as the source, revealing the breath of death from beginning to end.
