Huayu Entertainment 1995 started with hijacking.

Chapter 3 Admiration
Wu Yuchen smiled and slowly said:
Does it matter whether it's true or false?

I think what's more important is the reflection this story will evoke in everyone.

It's only 95 now. If Wu Yuchen is telling the truth, how will he answer when asked where it happened?
It's best to remain ambiguous.

Upon hearing Wu Yuchen's words, many people below showed thoughtful expressions before slowly nodding.

However, the people present still had many questions, especially since they had developed a habit of discussing each work together after watching it.

A boy raised his hand and, after seeing Wu Yuchen nod, said:
"Although the people on this bus are all indifferent, selfish, and apathetic, I don't think they deserve to die."
Furthermore, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor; any revenge should be taken against the robbers. The robbers escaped, so why should the passengers be targeted for retaliation?

Before Wu Yuchen could speak, a girl below immediately retorted:

"Why should I? The female driver is already thinking of dying, why should I care why you should?"
You feel wronged, but why didn't you retaliate when the female driver was being humiliated?
The female driver was risking her life to defend her dignity!
Wash away this truckload of sins!

Another boy also spoke up in support:
"Silence is the greatest complicity!"

If everyone ignores and doesn't care, then when you encounter such a situation one day, no one will lend you a helping hand!

"right!

During the massacre, five Japanese soldiers dared to slaughter 2000 people, and not a single one dared to resist!
How absurd!
If you remain silent and cowardly, condoning crime and violence, you will also perish!

"Acting bravely for a just cause is a moral obligation, not a duty!"
The robber was holding a knife. Although the passengers on the bus were indeed repulsive, they didn't deserve to die.

From this perspective, the female driver's decision to take them with her to their deaths was an act of revenge; she was selfish in her own way!

"What's wrong with revenge? She's a human being, not a saint!"

Before Wu Yuchen even had to say a word, the people below had already begun to express their opinions and engage in a heated discussion.

The members of this film group are all students majoring in film-related fields, and each of them has a great passion for film and is full of insightful opinions.

Therefore, many issues don't need Wu Yuchen to explain; everyone can basically figure them out after discussing them themselves.

However, there is one issue that many people are still concerned about.

Old Jia asked:

"Wu Yuchen, in the very end you wrote that the young man looked at the mess left by the car accident and smiled."

What does this smile represent?
Did you set that up on purpose?

Wu Yuchen had anticipated this question. In his previous life, at least half of the film reviews of "Car 44" focused on the eerie smile at the end, but Wu Yuchen felt that most of them missed the point.

Because most film reviews are based on the perspective of an audience member, without ever considering why the director and screenwriter made the choice.

Wu Yuchen glanced at the crowd below, then asked in return:
"I'd like to ask, if I change the ending, and the young man looks at the car accident ruins and learns that the female driver and all the passengers on the bus perished, then he breaks down in tears, would that be in line with everyone's expectations?"

That way you'll all understand, and you won't even have any questions.

But if that's the case, would you still think the way you do now?

Wu Yuchen pointed to his head and asked the people below.

Jia Zhangke looked thoughtful.

Everyone asked themselves honestly. If the young man had cried, it would have been exactly what they expected—to grieve for the deaths of the female driver and everyone else on the bus. Anyone could understand that. But Wu Yuchen deliberately set the ending as an unexpected smile, an O. Henry-esque conclusion.

Wu Yuchen continued:

"And now, you might wonder what this laugh means."

Is it gratitude towards the female driver, and a sense of relief and understanding towards her for not letting him into the car?

Are you grateful to have survived?
Are we laughing at these people for bringing this upon themselves?

Feeling smug about the deaths of a group of people?
Are you happy that your good deeds have been rewarded?
Or perhaps it stems from the scorn and mockery of the "noble" towards the "base"?
This smile is actually a mirror, reflecting the different thoughts in everyone's heart. You might wonder, if you were him, why would you smile?

If I can leave the audience with more room for thought and allow them to delve deeper into human nature, then I have achieved my goal!
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not only viewers, but also creators of films, so in the future, let's try to consider issues from a higher perspective.

Wu Yuchen's words were undoubtedly a wake-up call to the students below!
I've heard the same principle before in class, but it was all theoretical. It didn't leave as deep an impression as Wu Yuchen's vivid lesson on "Car 44".
clap, clap, clap...

First, one person clapped, and then a group of people burst into even more enthusiastic applause than before.

"Brilliant!"

"Junior, you're amazing!"

Even Lao Jia felt a pang of emotion as he looked at Wu Yuchen on the stage.

I initially thought the freshmen were just there out of interest, but they unexpectedly brought such an amazing script!
The key point is that they were able to explain it in a very logical and reasonable way, giving everyone a vivid lesson!
At this moment, Jia Zhangke admired Wu Yuchen immensely. This freshman was not only handsome, but also incredibly talented!
Wu Yuchen nodded slightly to the audience: "My script ends here. Please welcome the next student to the stage."

After speaking, Wu Yuchen stepped down from the podium.

When Wu Yuchen returned to his seat, Chen Er, who was usually quiet, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wu Yuchen, I never would have guessed! You're amazing!"

"Hehe, brother, you're handsome and talented at the same time!" Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

However, this time neither of the roommates objected.

Wu Shixian gave him a thumbs up: "A wonderful story! You've really impressed me!"

Talented people are admired wherever they go, and there is no doubt that "Car 44" left a deep impression on Wu Yuchen's two roommates.

Wu Yuchen looked at Wu Shixian and smiled, saying, "Thank you!"

Taking someone's first work for free right in front of them makes you feel like a criminal in front of your husband.

Wu Yuchen actually felt somewhat guilty towards the fat man.

Wu Shixian assumed that Wu Yuchen was thanking him for the praise, so he just smiled at Wu Yuchen and said he was not being polite.

After Wu Yuchen stepped off the stage, a boy stood up and said:

"I originally wrote one too, but to be honest, after listening to 'Car Forty-Four' just now, I felt it was worlds apart, so I won't embarrass myself by showing it off!"

After hearing what the boy said, the others smiled understandingly. After all, this "Car 44" was too amazing, completely different from the previous ones!

"Since no one's reading it, let's start the selection process!"
