A month after Leon Luo's farewell, Zheng Shu still hadn't been able to successfully turn this miraculous adventure into a first draft of the script.
As a third-rate director, he always couldn't help analyzing the details of his interactions with the alien, and then he was deeply immersed in self-intoxication about how natural and exquisite the plot handling was and how profound its meaning was, so the script was shelved again and again.
For example, at this moment, he is recalling the first time they met.
Just like countless time-travel novels that always start with amnesia in order to obtain basic information for the next step, many classic movies, TV shows or popular novels about aliens must have the protagonist fall on the hood of someone's car.
This model certainly has its own logical approach: if the place where the alien falls is changed to the back of the car, the audience will easily complain about why the protagonist doesn't pretend to be blind and drives away with his foot on the accelerator; but if the place is changed to the front of the car, it will be a large-scale social program - to help or not.
