At the beginning of the movie, the general background of the story is explained. Among human beings, there are many extraordinary people with abilities. They are divided into two camps, light and dark. The two are evenly matched. After the First World War, they signed an agreement and divided into The night watchmen are two opposing camps.

In a prophecy, there will be the birth of an extraordinary emperor, who can choose either light or darkness. The position of the extraordinary emperor is bound to break the evenly balanced state of the two camps, leading to the start of a new battle.

The Great Sunwatcher Savurong had long anticipated the birth of the Extraordinary Great (the movie did not say how to predict it), so he set up a huge game, and this game is a main line of the movie, and the main target of the layout is the male protagonist. ——Anton, because the son of the male protagonist——Ego is the extraordinary emperor of the future.

Savuron wanted to make Yigo stand in the dark camp, he had to arouse the evil thoughts in Yigo's heart, so he let the male protagonist Anton’s girlfriend cheat, and lied to the male protagonist that the child in his girlfriend's belly (Ego) was not what he belonged to. It's biological, so there is the first event at the beginning of the film, the male protagonist goes to the witch, and wants to use magic to get rid of the child in his girlfriend's belly.

Then, the story unfolds according to two main lines.

The male protagonist knows that he is a superhuman, and his superpower is to foresee a certain scene in the future in an emergency, and he can also get the same feelings as others. Using the latter ability, the man received a task, a pair of vampire men and women, using the magic sound to attract a little boy (Ego), wanting to suck the boy's blood.

The male protagonist, on the subway to rescue the boy, unexpectedly ran into a strange woman—a female doctor. The male lead saw the whirlpool of catastrophe on the head of the female doctor.

The story ends here, based on two main lines.

One main thread is around Yigo:

In order to save Igo, the male protagonist killed the male vampire, the female vampire escaped, and the male protagonist was also seriously injured.

1. The male protagonist was injured and was rescued by the boss of the night watchman, Gaither. The male protagonist saw several scenes in the future and knew that the little boy Igo would be in danger. He wanted to protect him in the past and at the same time meet himself with the female. The doctor told the boss Gaither.

2. The male vampire was killed. Many watchers were dissatisfied and laid the groundwork for the next battle. One of the manifestations is that the male protagonist’s neighbors came to ask the male protagonist why he wanted to kill the vampire.

3. The female vampire runs away, is induced by the watchman, wants to drink Eagle's blood, and then uses Eagle to threaten the male protagonist and avenge her boyfriend.

When the female vampire first came into contact with Yigo, the male lead arrived and rescued Yigo. I accidentally discovered that Igo was his own son.

The second time the female vampire came into contact with Igo was when the two main lines of the story converged.

Another main thread revolves around female doctors:

The male protagonist told the boss about his encounter with the female doctor, and the boss inferred that the female doctor was someone who was cursed by others based on the ancient predictions of Ego. She would bring disaster vortex and cause great disaster.

There are two ways to crack it, one is to find the person who cast the spell and solve it, and the other is to kill the person.

At the last juncture, the city was about to face a major disaster, and no one was found to cast the spell. At this time, the male protagonist was ordered to kill the female doctor. Just when the hero wanted to do something, he learned that his son Igo had fallen into the hands of a vampire.

At this point, the female doctor finally confessed (a bit inexplicable here) that it was not someone else who cast the poison, but herself (this explanation is actually a bit imperfect), so the disaster vortex was lifted, and the male protagonist thought that there was nothing major and ran away. Go to his son Igo.

The two main lines merge:

At this time the finale and climax of the story lies.

The male lead came to Ego's place and wanted to rescue him, but the female vampire asked him to disarm her weapon and protect her body.

When the last few people were chasing. It was discovered that the boss of the sun watcher had come and beat the male protagonist severely. At an urgent juncture, the male protagonist saw the scene of the future again, and the two factions finally broke out in another war.

Seeing that the male protagonist was beaten, Yi Ge came over to give the male protagonist an amulet, and the male protagonist wanted to attack Yi Ge for some reason (is there any explanation in the movie?), at this time, the story ushered in a climax.

The climax of the story is that the sun-watcher boss told the hero that Yigo is the future extraordinary emperor, and the boss told that the hero wanted to kill Yigo in the fetus with dark magic twelve years ago. Yigo's heart Malice was aroused, feeling that the male lead was just a hypocritical person, and took the initiative to stand in the camp of the sun watchers.

The plot of "Sun Watcher" ends here.

Backward:

The first event at the beginning of the story, that is, the male lead goes to find the witch, in fact, the main ending of the story has been finalized. First, the male protagonist learned that he was an extraordinary person through this incident, and the future life of the male protagonist will be finalized accordingly. ; Second, the male protagonist has already been counted in the game. The witch deliberately lied to him that the child in his girlfriend’s belly belonged to someone else. It was a line and foreshadowing for the male protagonist to actively want to use black magic to kill the future extraordinary emperor.

The second event at the beginning of the story:

The male protagonist went to rescue a little boy (it was Yigo), killed a male vampire, and created a contradiction between the two factions; escaped a female vampire, wanted to kill Yigo and the male protagonist to avenge her boyfriend.

While on the way, the male protagonist met the female doctor and started the second main line, the Oolong main line, because the night watchman thought the female doctor incident was the beginning of a catastrophe, but did not expect that the real beginning was Yi Ge.

Setting up an Oolong main line can maximize the emotions of the audience: I took a lot of effort to think that the crisis was relieved, but found that the real crisis has always been hidden under it. It is similar to when cutting the thread of a time bomb, thinking that the time will not move and then succeeding, but discovering that the time after that has been advancing exponentially.

    The director is a genius. Bear paws can be made into pickled chicken feet, and shark fins can be made into vermicelli soup. Spirit is commendable.
