...
With this perspective of viewing things from Yuan You's angle, I, Mint, went back and watched the film again, and truly found traces supporting this speculation.
[Quetiapine bottle photo.jpg]
This is the empty dication bottle that fell under Yuan You's desk.
Since Mint lacks knowledge about this type of psychiatric dication, I specifically researched what kind of drug quetiapine actually is.
This drug is technically a type of sedative, a psychiatric dication. The analyses I've seen online generally believe this dication is used because Yuan You suffers from depression, which also corresponds with the comnts he made later when using public opinion to attack the school, ntioning that "so students have suffered psychological trauma and even illness due to the school's atmosphere."
But in fact, this drug is used to treat depression mainly because of its sedative effects. The most fundantal use of this drug is actually treating bipolar disorder and schizophrenia!
Why couldn't Yuan You's reason for taking dication be to treat schizophrenia?
After noticing this point, I also saw the offensive words that bullied students had scrawled on Yuan You's desk. When I first saw them, I only felt the malice, but the second ti, I discovered that mixed among these insults were so other words: "crazy," "ntally ill," "sothing wrong with his brain"...
This suggests that Yuan You might not only suffer from ordinary depression but could also have symptoms related to schizophrenia.
And what are the manifestations of schizophrenia? Perception and thinking disorders, cognitive deviation from normal people, and ntal discoordination.
Realizing this, Mint feels there's another explanation for "why the police officer and the deceased have similar appearances."
Because this film, like the promotional ga, is all from Yuan You's perspective!
And since Yuan You may suffer from ntal illness, from his perspective, the world he sees is actually sowhat distorted.
I wonder if anyone has considered this possibility—what if the police investigation was correct from the beginning?
Bai Ye truly did fall accidentally, neither suicide nor homicide;
The biological father's high-value insurance policy was genuinely out of concern for his child;
The stepsister's conflict with him was actually just hoping he would focus on his studies;
The horoom teacher was blinded by prejudice but didn't sar the student's image before the police after his death;
The ex-girlfriend was simply unable to forget the past and still missed him...
The deceased cannot speak, and those seemingly motive-driven contents were all just hearsay from others. How the truth actually unfolded, we can no longer know, but beyond what the film portrays, there truly remains this ray of hopeful possibility.
If so, the police officer and the deceased having the sa face also has another possible explanation.
It's not that they are genuinely similar, but that they have similarities in Yuan You's heart, which, when expressed through his perspective, becos similar faces.
If asked what the similarity is, Mint believes it might be the word "redemption."
I believe everyone has already discovered that the nas Bai Ri and Bai Ye are opposites.
Then in Yuan You's heart, they might also have similar yet opposing positions.
To him, Bai Ye brought the redemption of death; while Bai Ri might have brought the redemption of life.
Everyone believes Bai Ri returned to the school to reinvestigate the falling incident.
But beyond the perspective told by the film, is there a possibility—that he noticed the similarities in this bullied, tornted middle school student living in pain, and specially returned after school just to open the locked teaching building for him? And that the subsequent so-called investigation was just his unrecognized effort to save this young man?
After all, the police officer also has a watch on his left wrist that he never removes, just like Yuan You's refusal to remove his autumn school uniform that conceals his scars.
..."
Reading to this point, Shao Yichen was shocked.
Wasn't Cat Mint's imagination running too wild?
Yet it sohow seed reasonable—if Shao Yichen weren't the director of this film, her thinking might genuinely have been led astray by this review!
All this talk about film perspective versus non-film perspective, about viewing things from Yuan You's angle, about saving a bullied youth...
But fundantally, Yuan You was never established as being bullied in the first place! It was purely Li Xingyu adding drama to his role that created this misunderstanding!
As for the ga, it was entirely handled by the system, and apart from using photo materials from the film, it essentially had no relation to the movie!
Not to ntion hints about quetiapine, a watch constantly worn on the wrist, desk graffiti... those were all coincidental developnts from discussions between Qin Lu and other creative team mbers, with no connection to the script!
Shao Yichen recalled the original script content and sadly rembered that back then, Yuan You was purely a troublemaker, the suspects were purely suspects, with no bullying, no public opinion conspiracy, and the final leap from the building seed more like a chuunibyou teenager suddenly receiving a spiritual calling.
Where did things go wrong to end up in this state?
She quickly scrolled past a large section of emotional rhetoric that followed, such as "we can choose to stare into darkness or choose light" and "changing perspective might reveal a whole new world," jumping directly to the end of the review.
"...As I initially said, this is just one person's judgnt.
Whether a film is good or bad has different evaluations in everyone's eyes. This film is a bold experint, which predetermined that from the beginning, its screening journey would be accompanied by various controversies.
But at the very least, the sincerity of this film is indisputable.
Whether it's the thoughtfulness of the props, the atmosphere created within the shots, the ticulously chosen styling, or the softly humming acoustic guitar whenever the deceased appears, the burning sunset in the evening, and even the continuously improving acting skills of the leads and the flawless performance of the third male lead—all embody these two words.
I hope more people can see such films. Only this way will more works that dare to experint appear before our eyes."
Shao Yichen stared at this review for a long ti, feeling that she recognized every character individually, but together they were so perplexing.
No matter how you looked at it, the word "sincerity" had nothing to do with this film!
How could listing these advantages item by item make the film seem decent?
Shao Yichen almost suspected she had a sleepwalking habit, paying this public account master during her sleepwalking after each film release. How else could one explain Cat Mint's desperate promotion of her awful film as if being paid to do so?
Truly worthy of the na Cat Mint—appearing to fairly evaluate this film without avoiding its flaws, yet reading through the entire article, even Shao Yichen beca interested in her own film!
Cat Mint public account, I'm keeping an eye on you!
Shao Yichen exited the public account, and outside the WeChat group, the creative team mbers were still discussing.
[Green Celery: Actually, that quetiapine was just a random depression dication I found, never expecting it to have this coincidental effect.]
[Green Celery: But I think this might have been Director Shao's true intention.]
Shao Yichen: It definitely wasn't.
She closed her eyes, about to withdraw into herself, when her phone vibrated again. Opening her eyes, she found that Qin Lu had sohow beco excited after his previous ssage and sent several shaking window notifications to the group.
[Green Celery: !!!!]
[Green Celery: {Weibo link}]
After the recent shock, Shao Yichen approached every link with extre caution, even though this one had changed from a WeChat public account link to a Weibo link.
She rarely used Weibo and wasn't very familiar with it. Clicking the link, she only saw an account with a VIP badge specifically reposting the public account link, with an added comnt: [This speculation about "The Web" is very interesting. I was also fortunate enough to attend the film's premiere and watch it. I won't say too much about the plot, but the production team definitely has interesting ideas.]
Though the Weibo post was just minutes old, it already had over a hundred likes.
Shao Yichen stared at this account nad "Yuwood Mystery," feeling completely unfamiliar.
[Lose All Million: Who is this]
[Lose All Million: I don't recall inviting anyone from mystery magazines to the premiere]
As soon as this ssage was sent, the small group was instantly flooded with exclamation marks from Qin Lu, achieving the screen-flooding effect that the twins had struggled to achieve for two days with such ease.
[Green Celery: Director Shao! You don't know them?! As a mystery enthusiast, you've never read Yuwood Mystery magazine?!!]
Shao Yichen: What? Blockhead Mystery? Does that an the magazine's readers are all blockheads? Can such a magazine really survive in the market?
After all, although Shao Yichen had indeed written a mystery script, she wasn't actually a mystery enthusiast and had never read this magazine.
anwhile, Qin Lu continued his exclamation marks in the group.
[Green Celery: Yuwood Mystery! The top mystery magazine in the country! The kind that every mystery enthusiast has a copy of!]
[Green Celery: Even if you haven't read Yuwood Mystery, then, Director Shao, you know Yuwood Fashion, right?]
[Lose All Million: I know that one, a top-tier fashion magazine in China, I still have a stack in my room. But isn't that an entertainnt magazine?]
[Green Celery: These two magazine publishers are actually the sa company, originally called Yuwood Magazine, covering various topics. Later, the editor-in-chief discovered that the most popular sections were fashion and mystery, but the readers of these two parts didn't overlap, so they simply split into two magazines, though they still work in the sa place.]
[Green Celery: Judging from the tone of this Weibo post, it should be from Editor Chen, who has worked there for a long ti. But I heard he transferred to fashion and interview work, so how can he still manage the mystery official account?]
[Green Celery: Could it be specifically for "The Web"? No, isn't that a bit too confident? I can't believe it...]
[Green Celery: But regardless, I can guarantee that "The Web" is now undoubtedly well-known throughout the mystery circle! It's the first ti Yuwood Mystery has specifically reposted and recomnded a film on Weibo!]
Afterward, Qin Lu continued mumbling things in the group that no one else understood—after all, besides him, no one else knew about mystery.
Shao Yichen naturally couldn't really understand what he was saying either, but reflecting on the combination of blows she'd received that evening, she had an ominous feeling.
First, the veteran overanalysis expert Cat Mint made her move, performing a series of maneuvers to forcibly elevate the already inexplicably elevated film the to another level;
Then, a mysterious Weibo account reposted the analysis, inexplicably praising the production team for having interesting ideas...
It looked like this film might make money again!
