As we all know, although 2020 and 2021 have suffered from the impact of the epidemic, the cinema line has also had to enter the frozen stage.
But the commercial obstruction of cinemas has not hindered the determination of film production companies to make new films, such as Disney, who resolutely switched to the Internet so that their films can continue to shine.
And we also feel the success of Disney's transformation strategy above the strong box office of the new film "Black Widow", and this effect will inevitably make them continue to work hard---
I am talking about the new film "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", and netizens who have been paying attention to it should know the news that it is scheduled to be released in North America on September 3.
When we came to August 6, through the reprinting of domestic media, we also saw the latest publicity special, as well as a co-production that can make people a little excited---
The two people in the picture are Destin Creighton (right), the director of "Shangqi", and the other is Yuanhua, a well-known actor in China.
As long as you have seen Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" and Chen Kaige's "Taoist Descending the Mountain", then you can't be unaware of the actor's appearance, and Yuanhua has long been famous for being a "martial arts superstar", which can be said to be quite matching the film style of "Shangqi"---
However, as of now, whether Yuanhua will join Shangqi is only speculation from the media (or it may only be invited to serve as a martial arts instructor).
But is not the opportunity to join is not the most critical, the real surprise is that when the small partners see the above news, their first reaction is actually: Yuanhua? Didn't he die a long time ago?
Originally, I didn't think much about it, but as more and more similar questions emerged, I couldn't help but have such an idea in my mind: It seems that there is indeed something!
Of course, there will be no supernatural events in this world, and the post of the director of "Shangqi" and the media reports have also hammered the fact that Yuanhua is already alive. So what really could just be that we have a confused memory, or that we've encountered the so-called Mandela effect---
Even if you are not an expert in physics, you should have experienced the magic and beauty of parallel universes in countless science fiction works.
In the theoretical depiction of quantum mechanics, the universe we live in is only one of countless universes, and countless different new universes are generated every moment, which also means that there are endless possibilities for characters.
Of course, the above theory does not only appear in science fiction, but also in the real world, it is applied to the Mandela effect---
What is the Mandela effect? And why is it called this name? That's because in the first days, in 2010, some netizens spoke online and asked if South African President Nelson Mandela had died in the 1980s. How did you suddenly see him on the TV news again?
The inquirer stated the details of Mandela's funeral in great detail, including media reports, television footage, and scenes of Mandela's relatives (through text), and more importantly, his behavior actually received a number of netizens' responses, who said that they also had similar and clear memories---
But the truth is that in 2010, Mandela was still alive, and his real death had to wait until the time of 2013, and in the face of such a bizarre thing, netizens also used "are we collectively traveling to another universe" to explain, thinking that it is not ourselves who are wrong, but the whole world, and God is joking about them---
Since then, the Mandela effect has spread across the Chinese Internet at a speed that has been so fast that it has been known, and the most well-known examples include the following:
One is the death of the well-known movie star Wu Ma in Hong Kong, China. Many netizens have made it clear that they have already seen the funeral of the noon horse in 2013, and they can also say the details of "Jackie Chan's big brother carrying the coffin".
But the truth is that Noonma didn't die until February 2014---
The other is the ending of "Rubik's Cube Mansion". If you search for the introduction of this national comic, all you can see is the message that "26 episodes were originally planned, and finally cut into 10 episodes to play", and if we open the 10th episode, the last thing that comes to mind is the protagonist Lake running on the flowers and waving to the front of the screen, and the word "goodbye" slowly appears on the right side of the screen---
To put it bluntly, this domestic animation has no real ending, only such a hasty ending. But what is interesting is that as long as you go to the major forums, you can see countless netizens saying such a thing in the tone of a real hammer---
"I'm 100% sure I've seen the ending, Lake came out of the Rubik's Cube world, the reality time only passed a few minutes, and then Lake hugged his mother and cried and stressed that he wouldn't dare to fall the Rubik's Cube again"
What's going on? The explanation given by fans is also "traveling through time and space to another parallel universe" ---
At this point, I believe you can also understand the terrible power of the Mandela effect, and in view of this, can we really hammer parallel universes to exist? And is our little friend in the same world really from another dimensional universe?
And further, is it true that the argument that "Yuanhua has already died" mentioned at the beginning also happened? And the reason why we can't see it online, and the fact that he can appear alive in the home of the director of "Shangqi" and is rumored to be likely to participate in a new Marvel film.
Is it all because the world has once again jumped, bringing the group of netizens who witnessed Yuanhua's death to another new universe?
It is true that in a certain sense, we really cannot falsify the above statement, after all, as of now, we have no ability to observe parallel universes in the future, and the existence of parallel universes is only a mathematical proof and logical reasoning.
But even so, I wanted to give some more credible explanations.
The material and spiritual civilization of modern society is largely brought about by science, but science does not pursue truths that can never be wrong, including Newton's laws of motion and Einstein's theory of relativity, which can only be called the "most effective" means and tools for human understanding of the universe in a certain time segment.
So when the theory of relativity overthrew Newtonian mechanics for a while, we can't say that the latter is wrong, and more strictly, Newtonian mechanics is just a local application of relativity that is enough to solve the things encountered in daily life, and it is relatively easy to use (which is why newtonian mechanics is still taught in middle schools today) ---
By the same token, the Mandela effect depicts a passage through parallel universes that could indeed happen, but the probability (or confidence) of this happening is far more convincing than the "group delusion" explanation.
There is a saying that goes like this: "There is nothing new under the sun".
The reason why some netizens think that Mandela died in the 80s of the last century, think that "Rubik's Cube Mansion" played the ending, think that Noon Ma died at 13 years old and that Jackie Chan carried the coffin, and think that Yuanhua died before... It is very likely that some similar events, or even the plot of the movie, are confused, and then after one response after another netizens, the illusion is gradually strengthened into "reality".
At the end of the day, this is just a "group delusion", not really a hammer---
In fact, there are many similar things caused by the group illusion, such as "Mona Lisa's Smile" in many people's impression of the woman's smile is extremely subtle and traceless, but in fact she has a clear arc; also such as "Venus with a Broken Arm", many people think that its broken arm is symmetrical, but now it has become jagged---
There are also many netizens who say that the 86 version of "Journey to the West" has appeared in the plot of Yang Li Daxian throwing himself into the oil pot, but in fact, it has never happened.
Similarly, Mickey Mouse is considered by many to be wearing suspender pants (in fact, the upper body is not worn), and that Pikachu has a black section at the end of its tail (in fact, it has a little taupe on the head) ---
There are countless of these, but remember that because the Mandela effect is so common, we should think of it as a "swarm illusion" rather than a "parallel universe."
Otherwise, how can this extreme natural phenomenon, which occurs frequently, have no clearer evidence until now, and why can it only be hammered by memory that resembles an "illusion"?
Finally, please remember one sentence: credibility is the only thing we rely on to understand the world!
