I Persuade People With Reason

Chapter 38: Director 9

After the press conference, the aftermath set off has not subsided for a long time.

The next day, a promotional video with a duration of less than one minute was uploaded to the Internet. Under the bright-colored lens, in the misty rain and fog, the young man in a simple white shirt smiled slightly through the casement, which was particularly moving.

A new movie titled "Monologue" is a hit before it airs.

From publicity to preheating, other films need to be advertised overwhelmingly, or the entire crew should be promoted on variety shows, and commercialized all over the country, in order to make the film popular.

I didn't do it but found a new way. By killing the two major groups in just a few days, I sacrificed a top traffic, a new young flower, and my own father, and harvested a large amount of money at one time. heat.

Naturally, the heat has been transferred to his new film.

[The name of the movie and the clips from the promotional film should be a small, fresh love movie, right? ]

[Shooting a small, fresh love movie in a mental hospital? Is this subject really okay? Salvation between nurse and patient? I always feel that something is not right...]

[Ah, ah, the promotional video is so cool, little brother is so handsome! Going to support this beauty! ]

Online comments are roughly divided into two categories, one is the fan who only pays attention to the protagonist's appearance, and the other is speculating about the plot seriously, but most people think that this should be a small and fresh movie. And it is very likely that it is redemptive healing.

Although the last "Deep Palace" was completely smashed, and even the investment cost was not recovered, but I recall the amazingness of "Ghost", and this time the movie happened to be related to the case of the mental hospital a few days ago. Related, or greatly aroused the curiosity of netizens?

You know, the whole process of the live broadcast that day was not made into a lot of emojis from screenshots. The most popular one so far is the picture of him yawning quietly, and the background next to it is the impassioned picture of others.

The picture is also accompanied by #but? It's to cure a disease, break a case, and stop Liao by filming a scene by the way. Don't be six. You? Haven't seen the world? Makes me just want to doze off. #, # Ah, another quiet and boring day. I have nothing to do, I'm going to die. #and #Get out of the way, it's my turn to perform! #Wait a little? joke?.

Many people are very curious, what kind of special will this film, which is called self-directed and self-acted, without the participation of other actors, and all the scenes are shot in a mental hospital, which is different from ordinary movies.

Due to Star Entertainment’s suppression and restrictions, those who chose to cooperate with Yuanbuwei were those who had a holiday with Star Entertainment, or did not care about Star Entertainment’s theater chain at all. On the first day, a total of 800 theaters were released at the same time. 70%.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but Star Entertainment also suddenly announced that it will upgrade the movie that was originally planned to be released next month, and it will also be released on this day.

——This is a fantasy film directed by a famous director. It has been publicized for a month, and there is no shortage of popularity.

It was not because when I turned on the computer for the first time in the mental hospital, I happened to see Star Entertainment mentioned that "Deep Palace" was smashed, saying that I had read the wrong director before, and the next movie will not disappoint everyone. ——At that time, the new movie that the other party was promoting with his popularity was the fantasy blockbuster "The Tide of Youdu".

In the past few days, the people in the circle have just had enough lemons, and at this time they are all waiting to see the jokes that they should not do.

In their opinion, such a film with low investment, low cost, no big-name actors, and even the only actor is the director himself, as well as a group of doctors, nurses and patients in a mental hospital who act as the facilitator... Slots? Countless movies , but it was fired up by clever operation, and many viewers came to watch it for novelty.

It just so happens that there are no movies that are too competitive recently, and this movie has become popular. Even if the content is not good, after it is released, it can make a small profit. But? Now that it collided with Star Entertainment's blockbuster head-on, it was like being beaten all over the head, and the contrast was extremely tragic.

Many people are waiting for how Shengshi will deal with it, but? Shengshi's side is calm and calm, with a calm posture. This is obviously the rhythm of preparing for a direct hard bar.

Seven days later, "Monologue" was released as scheduled. There was no grand premiere and opening ceremony. It landed in major theaters with much attention.

At the entrance of a certain cinema, people came and went, and Mo Qing came along with the crowd, with a very subtle expression on her face.

She doesn't chase stars herself, but is an avid movie lover. Whenever I hear that a good movie is released, I can't help but come to the cinema? Experience the experience. And the last time she watched "Deep Palace", she just wanted to ask the producer to refund the money - what kind of spicy chicken movie? And she wasted two hours!

To this end, she wrote a long review, criticizing the whole movie for nothing, and also @ the director of the spicy chicken who made this spicy chicken movie, and won a lot of likes from fans of the original book.

Later, regarding the explosion of the other party's various black materials on the Internet, Mo Qing did not realize that she had been instigated by the navy, vented all her anger, and became one of the Internet mobs. member.

It wasn't until Yuan Buwei was praised twice by the official that she vaguely realized that she seemed to have done something wrong before. After chasing the live broadcast of the press conference a few days ago, Mo Qing suddenly realized: "Yes, those If people are really wronged, why don't they call the police and only cry and sell miserable things online?"

People who report a disagreement like Yuan Wei is like a mudslide in the entertainment industry, but they have washed away people like Mo Qing from the coercion of public opinion and let them recover awake.

These people only feel that they have learned a new way of looking at problems from Yuan Buwei's actions, and they have turned into fans one after another, and regard Yuan Buwei as their new idol in their hearts.

Today, Mo Qing came to watch this movie with the feeling of supporting idols. She had wronged her idols indiscriminately before, this time, no matter whether the new movie is good or not, she will stand by her to the end!

For this extremely picky avid movie lover, making such a decision is tantamount to a top gourmet? Forcing himself to try pig food, it is a sacrifice too much.

Mo Qing made up her mind and walked into the cinema.

The lights went out, but the screen didn't turn on for the first time, instead it was pitch black.

"A. A. A..."

There was silence for ten seconds. Just when Mo Qing was puzzled, several extremely strange sounds suddenly came out from the darkness. It was indescribable. .

On the completely black screen, handwriting gradually appeared.

As the first word fell, the darkness on the screen dissipated like smoke, and then everyone realized that this was one of the pages of the diary that was spread out.

A hand is writing on it with a pen.

"September 17, the weather is fine. What woke me up was the creaking noise on the window, someone was scratching the window with long nails, it wanted to enter my home? It's coming, it's coming? Here, it's coming!"

The last stroke suddenly made a long scratch.

I don't know why, but seeing this, Mo Qing's whole body was jolted, and she suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

She couldn't help holding her hand, touched her arm, and said to herself, "Probably this background sound? It's too scary. Where did you find this music master?"

In the background of this movie, there has always been a strange sound that seems to be everywhere, like the sound of wind, or someone shouting and screaming in the distance. The audience felt inexplicably flustered, with goosebumps all over the place.

And that's when the movie really begins.

The diary was slowly closed, and two black distorted fonts appeared - "Monologue".

These two words have been dripping ink, like blood. As soon as the camera turned, the thick ink slowly dripped into the transparent water, and the water droplets spread out in circles.

A clear male voice sounded from the side.

"Ah, it's raining. Are you going to move on a rainy day?!"

The first thing that appears in the shot is the steps that have been continuously smashed by raindrops, revealing a gray-white corner. Then move up slowly, from the mud-splattered shoes and trouser legs, to the neat, textured shirt, and then the delicate collarbone and chin...

Finally, what appears in the shot is a young, clean-lined face. He was sitting on the steps, his legs were slightly bent, and he was hurriedly covering the diary in his arms with the jacket he took off, looking distressed.

In the background behind you, you can vaguely see people coming in and out in the distance, and you can hear the noisy and clamorous voices of people, as well as the sound of wheels rolling on the ground. Seems to be moving?.

This one-man show, which is said to have only one protagonist, just started from this rainy day.

From the surrounding background and the dialogue between the town residents who are not in the picture and the protagonist, it can be seen that it is August. In order to avoid a fanatical suitor, the protagonist temporarily moved to an unfamiliar town to relax.

Mo Qing nodded subconsciously and said, "It turned out to be a flashback." Then she suddenly reacted, "The way of shooting this movie seems to be a bit special."

how to say? Some are like the way of filming documentaries in the last century. Everything presented in the lens gives people a real and natural feeling. The overall tone of the picture is dark, and occasionally it shakes quietly, making the audience feel as if it is real. Watch an unbelievably true story happening somewhere in the world on a live stream.

Almost all the scenes in the movie focus on the protagonist. From the first day he moved here, he gets up early, cooks, and paints in his room~www.wuxiaspot.com~, etc., sometimes looking at the rainy weather and worrying ...

In addition to the protagonist, occasionally there are other shots that capture the rain outside the window, the gray sky.

As a veteran movie lover, Mo Qing already had a faint feeling, and even sat up straight: "This doesn't seem to be a small thing? A fresh love movie, oh, I always feel that there will be surprises later."

The atmosphere at the beginning of the movie seems to be calm and relaxed, but in this ease, it gives people an inexplicable depression from time to time, and it always feels like some kind of hidden danger is slowly spreading from the dark. ?

It was a "silent", surging feeling of depression.

In the movie theater, many people have long forgotten the popcorn and drinks they brought in at the beginning, and unknowingly tightened their hands and grabbed them on their thighs, or the arms of their boyfriends and girlfriends next to them. superior.

The next scene really took a turn.

The peaceful and relaxing days passed, and all kinds of strange things began to happen, things lost from time to time in the home, the hair that appeared on the pillow at night, the suspicious shadows that flashed past the window... many, many How many small incidents have accumulated, and the subtle and eerie feelings are superimposed layer upon layer, making the audience's nerves tense unconsciously.

The residents of the small town, who are still not in the mirror and only have voices, have also changed their attitude when talking to the protagonist.

It seems that after the arrival of the protagonist, all kinds of strange and ominous things have happened in this small town, and rumors have grown in the dark, which gradually changes the attitude of others towards him.

The director's lens is always focused on the protagonist.

The audience can clearly perceive how he went from being relaxed at the beginning, to anger later, and then after a long time when he couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes, he became more and more restless, restless, and frightened.

It has to be said that this highly infectious acting makes the audience not aware of it, so much so that they completely ignore the familiarity brought by this face that has only become popular on the Internet not long ago.

——Now, he is not the "Director Yan" who has been "completed" by netizens, or he is the protagonist in the play.

Mo Qing has completely forgotten about those previous thoughts. She stared at the screen without blinking, and she was completely immersed in the plot.

Finally one day, the protagonist woke up in the middle of the night and heard a dull sound of something falling to the ground. He suddenly turned his head to look.

In the dark night, something sharply brushed? The window, like a pair of beads? Sticking outside the window, staring at him with eager eyes!

"what!"

This scene was portrayed extremely strangely under the director's camera, and even every micro-expression of the protagonist under the fear was also included in the camera, and the atmosphere was rendered just right. There were already audiences in the cinema who couldn't help screaming, and the popcorn in their hands was scared.

In that very real, documentary-like camera lens, everyone followed the protagonist's point of view nervously and uneasy, watching him panting heavily, opening the door cautiously, and looking out!

The yard was empty, the windows and walls were covered with blood splattered, and there was a smashed hole in the ground, with a strange twist in the hole.

——It seems that someone jumped off his roof? Before dying, his twisted limbs struggled on the ground until he died.

The picture of the protagonist's brain supplement is naturally also presented in an illusory way by the film lens. The distorted and grotesque blurred human figure struggling on the ground has rendered the current panic atmosphere more than ten times.

The audience of the entire cinema fell into an inexplicable panic along with the protagonist.

As an avid movie lover, Mo Qing does not know so much professional knowledge, but the more she sees it, her level of discrimination will naturally improve.

She was trembling with her arms in her arms, and she still didn't forget to analyze it in her heart, and spread her thoughts wildly, so as to dispel that creepy sense of fear:

"It's amazing. The director's camera language and atmosphere rendering are so strong! They didn't use too powerful special effects or too many props to achieve this kind of effect! Maybe it's also related to the protagonist's acting skills? Aren't the director and the protagonist the same person? So, after all, Director Yan is too much!"

Thinking of the enthusiastic citizens? Yan's emoticons, when I look at the protagonist again, I unconsciously regain my composure. Even if there are ghosts, it is estimated that Director Yan will arrest them and report them all.

After silently reciting "I believe in Director Yan" ten times, Mo Qing calmed down her beating heart a little and continued to read.

In the follow-up plot, the director brought this ability to render panic to the extreme. There was no exclamation in the cinema, but everyone almost couldn't help holding their breath, unknowingly immersed in the plot, like Worrying that some monster will suddenly appear in the dark.

Under the film camera, the protagonist's emotional changes are almost progressive, his rationality slipped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he gradually became more and more nervous.

And the atmosphere in the small town changed from relaxed and peaceful at the beginning to extreme depression. The townspeople who were not in the mirror used their voices to maintain a sense of presence.

Infected by some kind of weirdness, the voices of these people also went from peaceful at the beginning to finally becoming nervous and indescribably weird.

"Don't go near that house?!"

"There is an ogre living there, and it will come out in the middle of the night? Eat people, many people in the town have disappeared..."

"No, we can only live if we kill him..."

"Grab him, drag him out?...Eat him!"

With the continuous progress of the plot, the protagonist has become the target of the small town residents, and even one day was almost dragged out by the crazy town residents to share and eat!

Fortunately, at the last moment, the protagonist struggled desperately and finally escaped back to his own house. Using wooden boards, nails, iron chains, and everything he could use, he desperately blocked the entire room and locked himself here.

He shivered in the room.

Crazy inhabitants, unknown and strange, and monsters that may be lurking in the dark, surrounded the house, and they all spied on him from outside.

——This episode is very fast-paced. It is also the first time for the residents of the small town to appear, but they do not show their faces. Their figures are blurred and distorted under the camera. Only when a pair of hands grabs the protagonist, they appear clear.

The protagonist finally escaped safely? After that, the camera turned again and re-fixed.

Another night, completely plunged into a dark room, the protagonist sat alone on the bed, staring at the window with wide eyes, lips still moving.

The strange sound rang out the window again.

"A. A. A..."

There was only darkness on the screen, and a little moonlight through the crack of the window split the protagonist's face in half.

Half of his face was unusually calm, and one corner of his mouth was bent, as if he was about to be relieved; half of his face was twisted in horror, and his wide eyes were filled with extreme fear.

——The director's use of the lens is too perfect? ​​The proportion of the light is just right, so that the picture presented to the audience has an extreme impact.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"

"Boom"?!

The screen suddenly went black?

"call--"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breathing one after another in the cinema. Many people were really holding their breath just now, and they didn't dare to breathe, until now they spit it out.

To say that the plot of the story is particularly novel, it is not so, but the rendering of the panic in the film is really clever to the point of inconceivable. Coupled with the realism brought by the documentary-like pictures, all the audience only felt that they had also experienced such a situation like the protagonist, and they felt like they had escaped from death.

Many people here actually came with the same thoughts as Mo Qing, because they had misunderstood the director before, and decided to contribute to the box office for that little guilt. The end result was unexpected.

A film critic who was in the middle of it wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This director, there is something."

Now look up again.

Director: Yan Xun

Screenwriter: Yan Xun

Editing: Yan Xun

Starring: Yan Xun

...

On the pitch-black screen, the same two words kept scrolling past, especially striking.

The film critic twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "It seems? It's not just the director, it's all aspects. There are so many million points of things."

Just when the audience was about to leave, they heard a sudden sound on the screen, which sounded a bit like the emergency bell in the hospital.

drop by drop...

The audience looked up in astonishment, and saw that the scene that had always seemed a little dim before suddenly became brighter, showing an empty ward.

"On the 23rd, it's time to take the medicine."

The voice of the young female nurse sounded, and a thin and pale teenager, wrapped in a hospital gown, sat on the bed with his head bowed, and he raised his head little by little.

Revealing a young face with neat lines and good looks.

He smiled slightly at the camera.

It seems to coincide with the scene at the beginning of the film.

"hiss!"

There was a gurgling sound in the theater. This smile is completely different from the opening one. It makes them not even the slightest idea of ​​appreciating the beauty of the young man, but instead, they feel an indescribable panic in an instant.

——This smile is simply too weird, it is definitely not a normal person's smile, the other party has gone completely crazy.

The picture on the screen dimmed a little bit, and I could vaguely see the calendar flying around the corner.

When the door of the ward was pushed open, there was wind blowing the calendar. Show the date above -

Sept. 17.

The appearance of this last plot seems to have subverted the previous content. There were constant whispers in the theater, and many audiences began to discuss excitedly?, and Mo Qing also forcibly calmed down the mood of the ups and downs, and then went out along the flow of people. Eyes lit up with excitement.

She is like an old glutton who has eaten a full meal. At this time, she is radiant, full of energy, extremely satisfied, and even has the idea of ​​another meal.

And she was obviously not the only one who thought the same way. When she walked to the door, she heard many people shouting:

"Again? A "Monologue"!"

"Didn't you watch it just now? Did you watch it again? Do you still want to watch it?"

"Don't mention it, I didn't notice a lot of details just now. I don't think I've seen enough. I have to watch it again and watch it carefully! This movie is really unexpected!"

"That's true! I can't believe that there is still a director who can make such a film without half a ghost? It's so terrifying, and it obviously doesn't have many powerful special effects. It's really immersive, it scared me just now. A cold sweat."

"Did you notice the date on the calendar just now? According to the records in the diary, this day should be exactly the day when the protagonist was eaten in the previous picture. The last scene was in a mental hospital. The protagonist is dreaming, and now he's awake? I always think it's not that simple, right?"

"How can you still think so? I didn't think about it so much. I was shivering while patronizing, and the popcorn was shaking. It seems? This movie is really worth watching again."

Hearing the discussion next to her, Mo Qing became more and more itchy. She suddenly had an impulse, and she ignored the crying of her wallet, and rushed to the ticket office with arrogance:

"Again? One "Monologue", I'm going to do it again!"
