The camera focuses on Liu Peiqiang.
He and Han Duoduo have a son named Liu Qi.
The family is happily taking a photo in the snow.
But.
Before the audience could savor this hard-won moment of happiness.
Han Duoduo’s wig suddenly falls off.
Liu Peiqiang quickly gets up to help his wife put her wig back on.
When the audience sees the indwelling needle on her hand and her bald head, they are stunned.
Then, seeing Liu Peiqiang embrace his wife,
Saying it's okay, but his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
His wife is right in front of him, yet he cannot protect her.
That feeling instantly resonated with many male viewers, who couldn't help but tear up!
"He's here, he's here, he's coming with a knife!"
"This damn familiarity, worthy of Dao Nan!"
"I'm in tears. There aren't even many romantic scenes, but the emotions between Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo are portrayed so well. The old thief's skill is incredible!"
"I can't accept this, can we avoid the sadness?"
"Heh, you're too naive. If it's not sad, would it be called Dao Nan?"
"Damn, I thought it was a light comedy at first. Seeing this, I have a bad feeling."
"I was prepared. What light comedy? Don't you know that in Director Jiang Nan's comedies, the protagonist always dies?"
Regarding the finale of "Pegasus," many viewers have vivid memories.
However, after being amused by the many comedic moments earlier, some viewers overlooked the nickname "Dao Nan" and thought the movie was a disaster film of the light comedy genre.
When the plot suddenly took a turn for the worse, many people gradually realized that they were watching a movie by Jiang Nan!
...
To secure a spot in the underground city for his son, Liu Peiqiang applies for a job as a navigator on a space station.
His data is outstanding.
Only the final assessment remains.
"You are married with one son. Your wife contracted Type II radiation sickness three years ago and recently developed Lincoln syndrome. Under these circumstances, your optimal choice should be to withdraw from the selection and care for your family."
This immensely realistic question puts immense pressure on Liu Peiqiang.
The ticking countdown adds to the tension.
With each incredibly practical question, even Liu Peiqiang, who possesses great psychological resilience, feels the strain under the AI's rational and aggressive inquiries.
"You know everything, so why are you doing this?"
"I got selected, but my wife and son didn't. If I get selected for the space station, my son will become a preferential resident, and my wife, as the legal guardian of a minor, can enter the underground city with our son."
"I just want my family to survive!"
Liu Peiqiang's words are incredibly realistic and deeply heart-wrenching!
"I just want my family to survive." This sentence touched Tu Hengyu outside. He remembered his wife and daughter.
"Then what about your other family member?"
"What do you mean!"
"Your father-in-law, Mr. Han Ziang, was also not selected. What about Mr. Han Ziang?"
Liu Peiqiang doesn't know how to answer.
Facing an emotionless machine, he falls silent.
"Your optimal choice is to have Mr. Han Ziang act as guardian and take Liu Qi into the underground city. Based on your wife's vital signs, her life will end in 84.3 days."
Liu Peiqiang is being stabbed repeatedly, his heart breaking.
Completely breaking down!
"You bastards!"
"Stress response test failed."
The machine's cold voice pulls him back to reality.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry."
He apologizes with his hands raised.
The once spirited man, the genius with outstanding achievements, who didn't flinch even in the face of desperate situations and fought bravely against enemies.
But in middle age, for his family, he bowed his head.
For his family to survive, he conceded.
He raised his hands, surrendering to the burdens of life.
"Damn! I'm breaking down! I want to smash this damn camera!"
"Liu Peiqiang is already very strong. He can still control himself. If it were me, I would probably go berserk and smash that damn camera into pieces!"
"As a middle-aged man, the sense of identification is too strong. I'm already in despair..."
"Too real, and too realistic!"
...
After Liu Peiqiang's interview, Tu Hengyu
Seeing the 550w used for the interview, he finally makes up his mind to upload Ya Ya.
14 years!
He finally sees his daughter!
Ma Zhao leads people to stop him.
"Tu Hengyu, you come out!"
"Ya Ya only needs 87 seconds to form self-awareness."
"People are gone when they're gone. You're committing a crime!"
"Ya Ya's life is only two minutes. I want to give her a complete life."
"You've been selected, and you have a long road ahead. Live in reality... Ya Ya is already dead."
"She's not! She's not!! She's not!!!"
It must be said, this scene is textbook acting from Tu Hengyu.
Once again, it breaks the audience's hearts!
It seems that from a certain point on, the movie completely shifted from comedy to tragedy, and tragedies unfolded one after another before the audience could even react!
"If Ma Zhao really wanted to stop Tu Hengyu, he definitely could have succeeded. I think he's deliberately fulfilling his wish!"
"Do I even need to say that? Anyone with a bit of brains can see that!"
"Although he kept advising Tu Hengyu, you can tell he was buying time for him."
Data upload successful!
The anomaly begins!
Tu Hengyu is subdued, but a smile plays on his lips!
He succeeded!
Ya Ya's data was successfully uploaded!
...
The camera shifts again.
Liu Peiqiang takes his wife home.
This scene is a major tearjerker!
Although it doesn't take up much screen time, one can see the deep reluctance and numbness in Liu Peiqiang's eyes.
The most painful thing in the world might be watching the person you love die before your eyes while you are powerless to stop it.
An emergency occurs!
All parts of the world receive an urgent notification: the moon's orbit has deviated and is on a collision course with Earth!
Despair!
The despair of an apocalypse engulfs everyone on the planet!
Due to an urgent summons, Liu Peiqiang can finally ensure his son Liu Qi gets to live in the underground city.
Han Duoduo dies.
It's as if she took half of Liu Peiqiang's life with her.
His son and father-in-law's lives are secured.
At this point, Liu Peiqiang has no more attachments.
"Master."
Liu Peiqiang stands straight before Zhang Peng.
"Everything's good, right?"
"Everything's good..."
The moment this phrase, carrying the taste of all human experiences, is spoken.
Countless audience members in the cinema shed tears again.
This uniquely Chinese reply.
Everything's good.
Ordinary, mundane, yet filled with helplessness and regret.
When the screen shows that there are only 50 hours left until the moon disintegrates.
The only way is for all countries to use nuclear weapons to trigger nuclear fusion in the moon.
To achieve this, the nuclear weapons must first be transported to the moon using the space station, then global servers must be linked to remotely detonate the nuclear weapons, followed by restarting the root servers of the three locations to restore the global internet, and then activating the global planetary engines to escape the moon's debris.
Tu Hengyu, due to the necessity, goes with Ma Zhao to start the root server.
Liu Peiqiang heads to the space station.
The atmosphere at this moment becomes extremely tense and anxious.
