"You idiots, you have so obviously returned to reality. He has completed his mission on the plane, and Saito has fulfilled his promise to help him get home. Don't be suspicious because of Lin Han's deliberate misleading!"
Lin Han held the phone, shook his head and said: "There will be no sequel to "Inception," don't worry."
"Lord of the Top House! This should be the most perfect analysis, and it also solves all the doubts. The real key item is the ring, and the top is just a superficial totem. Visible totem + invisible ring = distinguish between reality and dreams! "
Marketing accounts that are not too big on the excitement have spotted the business opportunities here. One of the marketing accounts launched a voting post: "I just finished watching "Inception" that countless people praised, and I don't understand something. What happened to the ending? ? Lin Han didn’t even come to give readers an explanation, let’s vote! A The protagonist has returned to reality; B This is all just a dream; C I just look at it and say nothing.”
After carefully reading the novel, a netizen named "Black Feather Crow" posted a post in the Hanlin Academy: "The strongest analyst in history has appeared. This is not a dream. The wedding ring revealed the truth!"
Among these votes, a large number of people think that the protagonist has returned to reality. In the results of more than 70,000 votes, more than 60% of people think this way, but more than 30% of people think that this is a dream. In addition, a small group of people actually chose to use soy sauce!
"No, since this is back to reality, why do Lin Da's words and sentences describing Cobb's children hardly change? It's been a long time since Cobb didn't go home. Could it be that his children won't grow? This child's Who will explain the problem?"
"When I saw the ending of "Inception", I felt full of malice from Lin Han. He just wanted to use this open ending to get us into a dispute. I reviewed the content of the novel five times to look for any possible clues. Please listen to me below for clues that tell whether Cobb is dreaming.
However, this post immediately attracted many rebuttals, "The poster is a bit arbitrary in using only rings to judge reality and dreams. Cobb recalled the scene where his wife jumped from the building, and Cobb was also wearing a wedding ring."
What Lin Han said was so reasonable, just like an Internet joke. Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my own ability!
"This is my honor, the world will remember me!" Lin Han said as he took out his mobile phone. He was now going to the cinema with Chen Jiaxuan to watch a Hollywood blockbuster. He never expected that Zhao Han actually called.
"After reading the poster's analysis, I feel that I need to read the novel again carefully. I will read it carefully this time and support the poster!"
"I still can't accept using the ring to judge reality and dreams, but thank you for your hard work. I hope there will be more exciting analysis."
However, Li Han vowed: "It's one thing to read it for free, but it's another thing to read it in a paper book. The sales of this book will never be bad. Do you want to make a bet with me?"
"The author's analysis is too complicated. I was completely dizzy after reading it. Anyway, it looks very powerful."
"Not to mention anything else, whether Cobb is in reality or a dream in your ending has been voted by netizens as one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the world, ranking it with Jing Tian's background!"
Who made the open ending of "Inception" become the most popular topic on the Internet in the past two days? It is impossible for the navy company to spend a lot of effort to surpass it, even if all the zombie accounts of several companies are used. To no avail.
"The question is what if Cobb himself didn't know he was in a dream? If he thought he was in reality, he would naturally not wear a wedding ring, because he knew he was in a dream when he wore a wedding ring before. Could it be that someone else accidentally implanted a thought in him to make what he most wanted to happen happen?"
The same goes for "Inception". People who have too much time to do anything put forward a "father-in-law conspiracy theory", believing that Cobb's father-in-law is a conspirator. Cobb once met Cobb in Paris and asked Cobb He recommended his student Ariadne as the new dream maker.
But the ending is not the only point of controversy. There is another controversy about the ending, and that is whether the top can distinguish dreams from reality!
Let's skip the plot of committing the crime in the target's dream. When he completed the mission on the plane, his hands were empty. When Cobb walked through the terminal and reunited with his family, he still did not wear a ring. Isn't this hint obvious enough
Because of the Hanlin Academy post above, more and more netizens have a deeper interpretation of the plot and believe that the ring is the real totem!
…
But once the conspiracy theory was raised, even "Journey to the West" had to change its flavor. The entire "Journey to the West" was almost destroyed by some so-called interpretation and analysis, and it even became one of the darkest novels in China.
"Since there is no sequel, our publishing house will now organize your manuscript and prepare for publication. You can see if you want to add some content to attract readers to buy it."
"Oh? What's there to talk about?" Lin Han was confused. If he didn't talk about the plot, could he talk about the royalties
More and more people came after hearing the news. After they completed the previous chapters, they one by one plunged into the Internet discussion to find out what the last sentence was trying to express!
"Lin Han, you are such a swindle. You disappeared after posting the chapter. Can you tell me if this is a dream or reality?"
However, Lin Han had something on his mind just now. He had nothing to tell the media, so he replied: "Refuse for me, I can't do anything to the readers! Why should I fill the hole I dug based on my ability? The novel requires readers to think for themselves, and I can’t help them.”
Various ideas emerged. Even those who experienced the great discussion after "Inception" was released by Lin Han had to admire the ideas of these readers. It was amazing!
What really appears in the novel is that the protagonist Cobb repeatedly uses a top to distinguish reality from dreams, not to mention that he got this top from his wife.
"Is this an official series that forces readers to death? My head is fried. Can anyone help me burn a clear version of the finale?"
Ariadne is a very talented dreamer. She seemed to be free and easy in the process of learning to create dreams, even surpassing Cobb. However, she did not perform well in the final implantation of Fisher's thoughts because she The protagonist Cobb was implanted with the idea of "his wife is dead, accept the reality", so at the end of the novel, Cobb happily returned home to see his children!
Of course, the most famous one is the discussion about the ending. Is this a dream or reality
"Obviously you can read novels for free on Weibo, why do readers still have to spend money to buy physical books? I think there are not many people who are willing to read them. If a book is published, the sales situation is not likely to be good." Lin Han's point of view is somewhat Pessimistic, if the ending of the novel was not published, it would be almost the same. Now everyone can see it, who would want to spend money
This is not a movie, this is a description in a novel. Didn’t you all see Lin Han’s obvious description? If you don't care about the plot, why do you repeatedly mention whether you wear a wedding ring or not
Let's take a look at the scenes in which Cobb is wearing a wedding ring. The first is the first chapter. Cobb and Arthur are in the Japanese palace trying to convince Saito to let themselves enter his consciousness to protect him, and this When he came to the small apartment in the rioting city after the dream was shattered, Cobb was still wearing his wedding ring. But when they woke up on the high-speed train and when Cobb called his children in the hotel, Cobb was not wearing a wedding ring. This is the difference between dreams and reality.
When Saito commissioned Cobb and the two to implant the target person's thoughts, Cobb was not wearing a wedding ring when he found Ariadne at the French Architecture University, but he was wearing it when he came to Ariadne's dream in a blink of an eye. When Ariadne woke up from the studio frightened by the dream, the wedding ring on Cobb's hand disappeared.
Everyone, whether they understood or not, joined in the exploration, and even read the novel again in order to find their own arguments. There were all kinds of opinions, and everyone couldn't stand still.
"At first I thought Cobb was in a dream, but after reading the poster's analysis, I felt that this should be the case. Lin Han wanted to explore the true meaning of reality and dreams, so I am more inclined to the answer that he finally returned to reality. .”
"In the novel, Lin Han only designed a framework, but also left a lot of blanks. Every reader is a participant in the dream. It makes sense no matter how you say it. But I am on the side of reality!"
According to the orthodox plot in the "Inception" novel, Saito hired Cobb and his team to implant the mind of Fisher, the young heir of a rival company.
Lin Han was the first to say: "Mr. Zhao, please don't ask me about the ending when you call me. I have no comment!"
…
First of all, I want to give a little reminder to newcomers who are sloppy in reading. The top is not Cobb's totem, but his wife Mel's. Cobb's totem is a wedding ring. Everyone's totem must be unique and cannot be touched by others. Mel has passed away, so it is acceptable for Cobb to use the top to determine whether it is a dream.
"Dear, what does this ending mean?" Chen Jiaxuan asked while driving. She only realized that Lin Han had tricked so many people with the ending after reading the online voting post.
Lin Han didn't expect that his girlfriend would also fall. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand readers. Any ending is possible. Isn't this kind of open-ended ending just right?"
"Here, can you please stop being so mysterious? My head can't support my own thinking."
This poster's analysis quickly gained a large number of fans. They sometimes know that this idea is difficult to express in their own words and words. Now that they see others agree with their own ideas, they not only support it but also become more supportive!
There is also a debate about the fourth level of dreams. Is this Cobb's dream or the Lost Realm? Even Cobb and his wife Mel, who is the one in the dream? They both entered the Lost Realm together, and his wife committed suicide in reality. Perhaps Cobb was stimulated and became schizophrenic
This is reality, folks! "
Who knew that Zhao Han on the other end of the phone was stunned, "Okay, I wasn't planning to ask this question. You reminded me, and I'll ask you again after I finish talking about the business."
"I think it's reasonable to explain it with a ring, okay?"
There are many analysts on the Internet, especially those who are good at psychology. There are even many readers who have caught science fiction writers asking whether the top has stopped spinning at the end. This is their obsession and they must know a result.
Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, of course you like open endings, but we readers don't like it! Just like when you wrote The Last Man on Earth, you have to tell us what happened after hearing the knock on the door. Ah, how else would you know!”
As "Inception" becomes increasingly popular, a wave of analysis is surging. Many people have bold guesses and unexpected interpretations of dreams, and various controversies have arisen.
Nowadays, it seems difficult to sell novels without a sequel. Even "Harry Potter", "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Twilight" are popular series, and the earning power of series novels is far greater than that of ordinary singles. This novel.
"Because of your ending, many people are asking me now. Even your Weibo has exploded. Fans even created a topic for you called Lin Han to explain, asking you to explain to them. Weibo Bo's side also made an article about this topic, and many reporters want to interview you, and I also have invitations from two TV stations and a radio station."
Once the mind is opened, it can no longer be contained. More and more strange thoughts come out. Many readers of conspiracy theories even raised another question worth thinking about: Who is the real person? target person!
"Mom asked me why I knelt down to read the novel and knelt down for Lin Da. Can you please come back and give an analysis when you have time?"
This is the resentment from readers. Lin Han smiled. What he should say has been said in the novel. At this time, readers are left to think for themselves.
Not surprisingly, this small voting post has been regarded as a battleground between the two sides. A steady stream of readers have joined in, and even some third-tier stars have come to vote and repost to gain popularity!
Lin Han has no doubt who is the most popular writer this year. In addition, "Inception" is so hotly discussed. The media all want to get the most recognized answer to the ending from Lin Han, so no matter what, they have to Get down low and make an appointment for an interview or something.
Zhao Han, the vice president of Renmin University Publishing House, smiled and said: "I'm calling to remind you, is this really the end of "Inception"? Have you ever thought about writing a sequel, like "The Three-Body Problem"? Write a trilogy? I think there is still a lot to explore within the framework of the world you created, so a novel of 100,000 words is a bit of a waste!"
The mainstream theory is that the top can distinguish dreams from reality. Readers do not have much trust in the totem of the top. Each dream stealer has his own totem. Arthur's dice and Ariadne's chess have only been mentioned. , never appeared in the novel.
The completed version of "Inception" not only did not weaken the voice of discussion, but actually increased it a lot, and the discussion about the last top almost reached its peak.
