"The most mysterious Mr. Morton!"
"The behind-the-scenes hero who uncovered the shocking script fraud case made Su Tan and Director Dai willing to thank him for making a movie."
"Master of reasoning, expert detective, mysterious and understated—who exactly is Mr. Morton?"
…
Morton was born, and countless media reporters and netizens competed to be firmly attracted by this mysterious and powerful man.
Who is this man? How big a role did it play in solving the case? The credit is so great that the family members of the victim, Su Tan, and Dai Ruohan all thanked him successively? Even asked Su Tan to make a special film to pay tribute to him
Such a legendary experience is enough to whet the appetite of many netizens and the media. They are deeply curious about this man who has made great contributions behind the script fraud case. With admiration and admiration.
After the appearance of His Royal Highness Hayden Langman, the Crown Prince of the Empire, no one doubted the authenticity of Mr. Morton's existence.
For a while, everyone was looking for the famous "Mr. Morton". The situation that Su Tan and Dai Ruohan worried about before did not appear at all.
Su Tan found Hayden immediately, and explained to his big cousin that this is just a virtual character created in his new movie, not a real person.
Hearing this, Hayden burst out laughing.
Mr. Morton has a great reputation, and he has become the most mysterious and first understood person in countless people's minds. However, all his information is like a mystery that everyone knows nothing about, but the more so, the more curious netizens and media are about this mysterious Mr. Detective.
When Hayden walked into Laomao Studio, he saw that Su Tan was busy writing a new movie script, and there were a lot of materials scattered around, various news clippings, books and periodicals, and previous months Case files on screenplay fraud.
Even at one end of the room, there is a professional and large writing board, on which a lot of information is arranged and listed in detail, and the details of the script fraud case from beginning to end are recorded on it.
Hayden glanced at it and knew how much work Su Tan had to do. He simply re-deduced the case countless times, which took up a lot of Su Tan's time and energy.
The exquisite and interlocking storyline, the meticulous and progressive puzzle-solving and reasoning process, and the ups and downs and dangerous plot trends constitute the key elements of a reasoning and detective film.
On top of this, Su Tan wants to create a more outstanding and attractive protagonist, which is obviously more challenging and difficult.
Su Tan deliberated countless times before he came up with a somewhat satisfactory first draft.
At this time, Hayden was surprised to see that instead of burying his head in front of the computer, Su Tan curled up in a blanket on the small sofa, wrapped himself tightly, and fell asleep soundly from exhaustion. Only a small lock of hair sticks out.
He walked over quietly, straightened Su Tan's curled up body, and with a sudden movement of his heart, he brushed the other party's soft black hair that was exposed outside, and pressed a kiss on Su Tan's side face with a smile.
After sleeping until the sky was dark and the sky was dark, Su Tan finally woke up belatedly, and the room was already mostly dark.
He opened his eyes sleepily, still feeling exhausted all over his body. In the past few days, he stayed up all night for the script, and finally sorted out the outline of the whole script. After deliberating several times without flaws in logic and details, It took one breath to write the script all night.
In the early morning of dawn, he couldn't hold on any longer, sent the script to Dai Ruohan, and then fell asleep. Unexpectedly, this sleep turned out to be a whole day.
Looking at the dark and quiet night, the room was almost blurry, Su Tan rolled up the blanket, and wanted to continue sleeping comfortably, even his limbs were so tired that he couldn't lift his strength.
Until a gentle kiss fell on his forehead.
Su Tan was stunned, and immediately recognized the other party.
"Big cousin?"
Hearing a deep chuckle in the vague darkness, Su Tan realized that he was pillowing on Hayden's lap, and the continuous heat was coming from Hayden's body, making him extremely comfortable and comfortable.
Hayden didn't answer, rubbed his hair, and continued to kiss him.
Forehead, profile, eyes, bridge of nose, and finally—
Lovingly kissed his lips.
Su Tan seemed to be immersed in a dreamlike dream, and the strength in his body could not be lifted loosely, but the beating heartbeat became more and more obvious, as if it was ringing in his ears.
He smiled and kissed back, seeing that the room was completely dark, he couldn't help reminding him jokingly in a low voice: "Since the script fraud happened, cameras have been turned on in the studio room."
Hearing this, Hayden didn't take it seriously.
Suddenly, a more burning kiss fell.
Two months later.
"'Mr. Morton' is finally in theaters!"
Compared with Su Tan's new movie, another crew "Time and Space Flip" was filmed earlier and has already been released earlier, which has aroused enthusiastic responses among many movie fans.
Due to the famous script fraud case of Laomao Studio, the script of "Time and Space Flip" had been heated up a few months ago, causing an uproar.
Therefore, as soon as it was released, it attracted countless people into the cinema to watch it.
As originally expected, the script that Su Tan and Dai Ruohan agreed to buy was indeed excellent.
In this movie, the protagonist has the special ability to travel through time and space, which is obviously different from ordinary reasoning cases, bringing novelty to many audiences.
In the movie, the protagonist repeatedly travels through time and space to modify the time to reveal the layers of secrets of a thrilling murder case. No matter in terms of logical precision or novelty of the story, it has brought hearty viewing to many audiences. feel.
Therefore, as soon as it came out of the cinema, the film received high praise, and the audience and fans paid more and more attention to Su Tan's new film.
Some media even shouted the slogan of box office competition between the two films, which made the release of "Mr. Morton" attract more attention.
At the premiere ceremony of "Mr. Morton", countless newspapers and media film critics rushed to attend, preparing to be the first to have a sneak peek at this highly anticipated film.
"Mr. Kendall, you are here too." Benny, the entertainment reporter of "New Film Express", just took his seat, and was pleasantly surprised to see an old acquaintance sitting on top of him.
Frank Kendall is the specially invited film critic of "Movie Weekly".
Seeing Frank Kendall sitting next to him, Benny stopped his pen tip with a smile on his face. The notebook in his hand had already recorded some news key words in advance, and he just waited for the movie premiere ceremony to finish watching. Send it out as soon as possible to snatch the front line of publicity reports.
Frank Kendall looked sideways curiously, and it was obvious that the key words on it were scattered like "the most mysterious and great reasoning expert", "gimmick or bloody?", "the story is nothing new, the case Everyone knows" and so on.
For a moment, he was silent and did not veto it.
Compared with the fans who rushed into the movie theater excitedly to watch the mysterious and unpredictable deeds of Mr. Morton, they, experienced media, can clearly see through the relationship between Su Tan and Laomao Studio at a glance. Marketing tactics, for this script fraud case that happened under the eyes of all netizens, I know that the other party can present very little in the movie.
The ins and outs of the whole case have already been carefully analyzed on the Internet. Is it to relive the whole story of the case on the big screen
Thinking of this, Frank Kendall and reporter Benny looked at each other with a tacit look in their eyes, and each was ready to start watching the movie to record their feelings.
Sure enough, the opening ceremony at the beginning of the premiere was short and concise, directly introducing the theme to the screening of the new film. Immediately, everyone sitting in the projection hall couldn't help lifting their spirits and looking excitedly at the big screen.
On the screen, the head portrait of Laomao Studio is jumping and rolling out from the middle of the screen, showing it completely.
Frank Kendall crossed his hands and placed them securely in front of him. Paper and pens were neatly placed on the small table next to the seat beside him, which was clean. At this moment, he didn't have any desire to write.
Just like this movie adapted from a familiar case, all the plots and story trends are already well known in his mind, and he can retell them clearly even without recording them.
Not only him, but all the audience present are like this.
In this case, how can Su Tan adapt the story in a novel and interesting way to catch the audience's attention
Frank Kendall has a calm heart, and he has already made plans. He sighed calmly in his heart, thinking that this "Mr. Morton" by Old Mao Studio would have a hard time surpassing "Time and Space Flip" in terms of script and storyline.
At the beginning of the movie, to Frank Kendall's surprise, the movie didn't follow a chronological line. It started from the script fraud case that Lao Mao Studio encountered, and it didn't start from the most conflicting and crisis-ridden story of Lao Mao Studio. When the storm of public opinion began to unfold, it chose the most unexpected entry point.
"New case!"
On the big screen, a man who couldn't hide his joy rushed into the apartment room appeared.
Small and messy, all kinds of books, newspapers, materials and newspaper clippings are piled up on the old carved solid wood table that is quite old and crumbling. Some novel gadgets with unknown uses, a whole set of disassembled human joint models, and ticking clocks hanging on one wall filled the entire room.
These messy and strange decorations are surprisingly down-to-earth, which makes the audience suddenly arouse curiosity, and have a strong curiosity about the owner of this apartment room.
What's more, he's—
"Mr. Morton!" The man who rushed in was full of smiles, with a paper bag under his arm. The long baguette and fresh fruit were about to fall out of the bag, and he played it again the next moment. On a table full of various materials.
His words continued one after another, and he yelled out a series of crackling, light and fast like a cannonball. "The Script Fraud Case! It's a sensation on the Internet and in the film industry! It has completely locked up the famous film studio and plunged into the abyss! Don't you like novel cases most? This new case fully meets the conditions!"
After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his head behind the crumbling old-fashioned carved solid wood table and the stack of materials.
However, this glance is amazing.
"Dai Ruohan!"
In the screening hall, some die-hard movie fans have already shouted out the actor's name in surprise, unable to hide their excitement and joy.
Hearing this, Frank Kendall pursed his lips slightly, the paper in his hand was still blank, and he had no intention of writing.
He looked at the big screen with great admiration and saw that Dai Ruohan was wearing a straight white shirt and suit pants. Both the color matching and the workmanship were very particular. Coupled with the pair of slightly lowered gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he felt a sense of abstinence. The temperament of a professional fan elite emerges.
On the other hand, Dai Ruohan's neckline was still tied with a slightly torn tie, but it added a bit of unruly and casual temperament, which matched his handsome and steady profile.
This look is obviously completely different from his black, neat, cool, handsome and heroic image in the previous movie "I Want to Find You", but the charm is still unabated.
Frank Kendall could already hear the unconcealable surprise and joy of many fans in the screening hall behind him. He couldn't help laughing, and finally understood why some people said that men in formal suits were the most attractive.
Dai Ruohan's attire in front of him is completely irresistible to the charm.
The image of this detective expert on the screen was completely beyond Frank Kendall's expectations.
According to the model of general reasoning and detective movies, the image of this kind of reasoning expert or protagonist is generally simplified, without paying attention to appearance and appearance, and completely serving the ups and downs and progressive plots.
Therefore, carefulness, seriousness, solemnity, and unastonishing appearance have become the labels of protagonists who have always been in the genre of reasoning and investigation.
Frank Kendall has never seen a male lead in a detective film with such a good appearance and image as Ruohan Dai. On the contrary, such an attractive and handsome image often appears in youth romance films.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know whether it was Su Tan's intentional setting in the script, or Dai Ruohan's own charm was too great to cover this role.
He decided to continue watching.
The subsequent story line was beyond his expectations.
Mr. Morton, who is handsome and temperamental, didn't intend to take on this scripted fraud case without bizarre deaths or bloody thrills at the beginning. This small case obviously didn't arouse his interest.
However, his refusal lasted only a second.
The next second, when the assistant mentioned that Laomao Studio offered a sky-high reward of 100 million interstellar coins to solve the case and capture the culprit, Mr. Morton immediately changed his tone and accepted it without thinking.
Such a sudden change made the audience laugh.
Frank Kendall also realized for the first time that this reasoning expert is different from the image portrayed in previous reasoning and detective films—whether it is in appearance or in acting style.
As the movie continued, it brought him more and more surprises.
Under the leadership of Mr. Morton, this well-known script fraud case was restructured and interpreted from a completely new perspective of the story.
For the sake of a reward of 100 million, he shuttled around the key places and galaxies where various cases occurred. Along with the vast number of netizens who were equally enthusiastic and hoped to win the sky-high reward, he revealed the clues and inside stories behind it one by one.
The plot is just right and the details of the case that are familiar to the audience are meticulously combined. At the same time, behind the cover-up of the case, it re-displays various crises that are powerful, ups and downs, and thrilling. solve.
During this period, his powerful and meticulous thinking, heaven-defying insight and detail capture, and unconstrained but almost genius intuition are all displayed in the ups and downs of the plot.
And Mr. Morton and his fellow writer Benjamin, an unruly and unrestrained, a refined gentleman, from completely different personalities at the beginning, to gradually understanding and agreeing with each other, and finally working hand in hand to solve the case together, it can be called a whole story beyond the plot. The biggest highlight of the movie has firmly attracted the attention of many audiences.
Until the end, the script fraud case was solved, and the culprit was personally captured by Mr. Morton and his companions. The world was full of heated discussions, but the two tacitly hid themselves in a low-key manner and disappeared from the public opinion's field of vision, drawing a happy ending for the whole case. 's finale.
Until now, Frank Kendall suddenly realized that he had watched the whole movie unknowingly, and the paper in hand was still blank and clean, without time to write a word.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly found that he didn't know when he was completely immersed in the movie.
For a moment, Frank Kendall couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Since he took over the status of "Film Weekly" invited film critic, he has not fallen into this relaxed state for a long time.
No analysis, no scrutiny or evaluation, just simply watching a movie.
For him, this is not easy, and he has not seen it for a long time.
Today, it was actually realized in this "Mr. Morton" in which he pre-gimmicked more than the plot.
Immediately, even Frank Kendall himself could not help but sigh with a sigh.
However, the movie was not over yet. When the picture on the big screen flipped again and the familiar and messy small apartment at the beginning of the movie appeared, Frank Kendall couldn't help but look up and continue looking.
I saw a low magnetic and steady voice coming from outside the camera.
"Morton, new case!"
The lines are still familiar, the scene is familiar, even the handsome man sitting behind the old carved solid wood table full of various materials and newspapers is exactly the same.
However, the speaker has changed.
The camera turned sideways, and the face of fellow writer Benjamin, who had experienced the life-and-death crisis of the script fraud case with Morton, suddenly appeared on the screen.
He is a gentleman and elegant, and smiled warmly at the camera: "A new case, will you take it?"
The big screen suddenly went black, the camera was cut cleanly, the ending song played leisurely at the right time, and the list of the leading actors and crew members slowly appeared on the screen.
Seeing this unexpected ending, Frank Kendall, who has watched countless movies and published thousands of film reviews, understood the director's intention almost instantly.
"Is this going to be a sequel?!"
The lights in the projection hall were slowly turned on one by one, and Benny, the reporter beside Frank Kendall, yelled out the answer in shock.
Even Frank Kendall was particularly shocked.
In his mind, Su Tan and Dai Ruohan's original purpose of making this film was to get rid of the predicament of the script fraud case, and to use film techniques to clear the name of themselves and the studio.
At the same time, with the help of the popularity of public opinion, new films of the same theme were released in a timely manner to earn a fortune at the box office.
This view has already reached a consensus among the many media present today.
But they never imagined that the ambitions of Su Tan and Laomao Studio were far beyond this. The hook and foreshadowing left at the end of the movie are obviously paving the way for the second movie.
Frank Kendall and reporter Benny looked at each other, and they both saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
They never expected that this movie is not just an explanation and end of the old cat studio script fraud case, but a new beginning.
Reporter Benny sighed in a low voice, "No wonder the name of the movie is "Mr. Morton."
As soon as the words came out, Frank Kendall nodded silently. One of the most prestigious and well-known cases did not directly use the name of the case that is most familiar to the audience and stimulate attendance as the title of the movie, nor did it use any well-known best-selling author Su Tan or director Dai Ruohan to intervene. One of the most mysterious reasoning experts was chosen as the name of the movie, which initially surprised countless movies and film critics.
But at this time, all doubts have been completely resolved.
Because what Su Tan wants to make is not just this one movie, but the second, third, and fourth...movies, Frank Kendall can already imagine that the stories of each of the following movies must revolve around the meticulous and powerful Morgan Mr. Ton teamed up with the gentleman writer Benjamin to solve the case together.
Therefore, the name "Mr. Morton" was originally named for the entire series of reasoning and detective movies.
Even the movie released today is just an introduction to the whole series, officially introducing and bringing out the two main characters, Mr. Morton and his companion Benjamin.
Immediately, all industry insiders and media people who came to watch the premiere can imagine the second, third... and even the entire series of films of "Mr. Morton" in the future. The exciting and bizarre case has attracted the attention and attention of many movie fans and audiences.
And the extraordinarily unrestrained, unrestrained, handsome, and outstanding reasoning expert, coupled with the gentleman and elegant writer Benjamin, will produce much contrast and wonderful charm, attracting the love of audiences from generation to generation.
As long as the characters are not collapsed and the plot is not scattered, the effect of such a series of movies is almost beyond imagination, and it will definitely become a classic in the minds of audiences and netizens from generation to generation.
In the screening hall, countless movie fans in the back row who watched the premiere of the film continued to discuss and respond enthusiastically, but the many media reporters and film critics sitting in the front row were completely silent, completely overwhelmed by the magnificent performance of Su Tan and Laomao Studio. The creative techniques of the series of films were so shocking that they were speechless.
They thought it was just a money-making work, but they didn't expect that the other party would give them a big surprise no matter in terms of the plot, character design, or the follow-up series of the film.
It's just - reverse!
Frank Kendall pursed his lips and gave a wry smile. He tacitly saw the entries in the notebook beside Benny, the reporter beside him, which had previously recorded entries such as "gimmick or dog blood?", "the story is nothing new, and the case is well known". has been hastily blacked out, leaving only one—
"The most mysterious and great reasoning expert".
Seeing this evaluation, Frank Kendall knew it clearly.
He looked up at the list of actors and behind-the-scenes staff scrolling on the big screen, until the movie finally jumped out of the old cat studio logo again, and Frank Kendall suddenly agreed in his heart.
He is extremely convinced that this "most mysterious and greatest reasoning expert" is destined to shine in the entire film history.
The premiere ceremony of "Mr. Morton" is over, and many netizens on the Internet who have not been to the scene to watch the film are eagerly waiting, anxiously and expectantly waiting for the professional film review of this film.
Unexpectedly, before the media, the impressions of the fans who watched the premiere were released first.
"Meow Meow Meow: There's only one word, it's beautiful!!! Push it without explaining it!!!"
"Orange-flavoured soda: Hahahahaha, it didn't disappoint me to grab tickets to watch the premiere on the official website in the early morning. The movie is super worth it! Director Dai played the most handsome reasoning expert in history beyond imagination. He's so handsome that it makes people's blood boil, I almost took a screenshot of my brain in the movie theater. Director Dai, why don't you just change careers and become an actor [smirk]!"
"Film enthusiast: I went to the movie theater specially for Su Tanda and Director Dai who had been misunderstood and slandered. I didn't have much expectation for the movie itself, because the whole case has already been made public on the Internet. I followed the trend to analyze and reason. But I didn’t expect that the plot of the whole movie was unexpected. The plot was interpreted from another brand-new perspective. The plot was unexpectedly online, with every detail and climax. For this, I must give the screenwriter Su Da a fight call!"
"Star Vagabond: Upstairs, how does this movie compare to Time Flip?"
"Film enthusiasts: The rhythm is completely different, and there is no way to compare it head-on. I recommend every reasoning lover to go to the cinema to watch it for yourself. I am sure it is different from the reasoning and crime-solving movies you imagined. In addition, there is a surprise at the end, you can look forward to it .”
…
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the entertainment media were silent for a while, and then followed up with their voices.
"Film Weekly invited film critic Frank Kendall: The most different reasoning movie, bringing unexpected surprises—'Mr. Morton is destined to become a classic'."
""New Movie Express": A charismatic reasoning expert with a white shirt and formal attire, a man with a strong logic and a high IQ. How attractive is Mr. Morton?"
""Latest Movie Report": "Mr. Morton" is released, and it is expected to become the first series of reasoning movies in history!"
Numerous media comments came out one after another, causing heated discussions in the entire film market and the Internet for a while.
The praise of the premiere has attracted countless fans and audiences to rush into the cinema to watch this newly released new film.
The number of viewers on the first day exceeded 50 million.
Three days later, the box office of the movie has already become the crown.
A week later, the total box office of "Mr. Morton" defeated the best result created by "I Want to Find You", the weekly box office champion of the first half of the summer, and it deservedly won the weekly box office champion of this year.
Although it is still October and there are still two months until the end of the year, everyone is already very sure that this movie will definitely win this year's total box office champion.
The exquisite plot, stunning and charming characters, and the friendship with companions in times of adversity have all become hot topics of conversation in this movie.
Countless viewers and movie fans looked forward to the release of the next movie when they saw the next case where Mr. Morton and writer Benjamin met at the end of the movie.
Such a huge voice even far exceeded the popularity of all the movies in the same period, making Dai Ruohan and Lance, who played the two roles, really popular.
For a while, Laomao Studio completely got rid of the unfavorable turmoil caused by the script fraud case, and became the most popular film studio in the entertainment industry in one fell swoop.
Although this newly established studio has only produced and released two films so far, one of them has dominated the summer box office, and the other has won the hottest topic and reputation in the film market this year. Prove your strength with your works.
Even Laomao Studio, which was hit by the script fraud incident and was devastated by the script delivery craze, surged again, and many new screenwriters with dreams and hopes enthusiastically submitted scripts.
All of a sudden, various script deliveries and event invitations flew in like snowflakes.
At this time, Su Tan, who had finished his work, disappeared again and left the studio to Dai Ruohan. He returned to school and began to make up lessons.
At the same time, his debts began to strike back.
"Editor Hoshino: Open a new article, open a new article, open a new article!!! How long has it been since you wrote a new article! Do you want me to remind you?!"
Su Tan looked at the message sent by her editor on the Fanxing Novel website, and couldn't help admitting her mistake.
Due to the chaos in the studio, he shifted his focus for half a year to movies and screenwriting. Instead, he left his original job as an online novel writer to a wasteland, and even the last interstellar fast-paced explosive novel "Star Trek" also ended hastily.
After that, there was no new article for several months. Thinking of this, Su Tan immediately sent a message back to the editor.
"Su Tan: I have time recently, so I will open it right away."
The editor on the communicator returned quickly. "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you myself."
Su Tan: QAQ
Now, he and the previous "little expert in the pit of the gods" in the author group have finally been reduced to the same treatment, and the editor is personally staring at the reminder.
Su Tan smiled and agreed.
And he owed more than that.
"Lance: The publisher asked, when will your next new book be due?"
"Guilia Children's Stories" editor David: After the end of "Unlucky Amy", many children were reluctant to part with them, crying and not wanting to part with Amy, Mr. Su Tan, can you consider creating another children's story for the children ?"
"Hayden: It's finally time for the movie, let's go on vacation together :)?"
Su Tan couldn't laugh or cry.
He can't go anywhere now, so he has to sell himself to pay off his debts!
