Seeing that a certain man was busy socializing, Lena Kane and Annika Settle did not stick to each other and seized the time to start socializing on their own, until seven o'clock approached and the staff notified the guests to enter.
The two girls waited patiently until there were not many people left in the lounge and a certain man did not go to the screening hall, then they stepped forward.
"By the way, Danny, regarding some of our new attempts in this project, remember to keep up with audience feedback and send me the report on Friday," Simon was explaining something to New World Pictures President Danny Morris. What? After saying this at the end, he signaled Maurice to go and do his own work, and turned to the two girls: "Why don't you come in?"
"Waiting for you," Lina stepped forward generously, but couldn't help but glance at the two women who had been following the man, and said, "Simon, shall we sit together?"
Simon smiled and shook his head: "I just came back from San Francisco. I just want to say hello to everyone, and I have to go back to Malibu. As you know, I have watched these movies many times in advance."
Of course the two women can understand and have some regrets.
Lina thought of something else, and glanced at the two women next to the man. They must have never seen the sample, aren't they curious
As if in response, after Simon finished speaking, Girl C on the man's right didn't react at all, but Lydia on the left raised her baby face and said with a bit of arrogance in her tone: "I want to stay and watch the movie."
Simon raised his hand and touched the head of the girl next to him: "Okay, but be obedient," he said, looking at Lina and the two girls, and said smoothly: "It just so happens that the three of you are together and have a companion."
Lydia shook her head and tried to shake off the man's big hand, but it was in vain. She lowered the corner of her mouth and said again: "I want to attend the after-party later."
"No drinking allowed."
Simon just said this, took back his hand, and finally said goodbye to Lina and the two girls. He turned around and walked out of the lounge with Girl C. The Wei family bodyguards who were standing around inconspicuously followed naturally, clustering the two of them in the middle. .
Watching the man leave, and then turning around, Lina and Annika found that a certain doll-like little girl had already walked to the screening hall from the other side of the passage. They looked at each other and felt that the man just said something and did not make it clear. It doesn't matter if they take care of you or something like that.
Following me into the screening hall, it was already full. I finally found a seat at the back, only to find that a certain girl was also there.
Not surprisingly.
After all, I arrived late and there were not many seats left.
When Lydia saw them sitting down next to her, she just glanced at them briefly, then leaned back on the seat, stretched out her slim figure so that the men around her couldn't help but glance at her, and tilted her head back to look at the ceiling, looking like she was doing nothing. .
For a moment, at seven o'clock, the hall fell silent.
The premiere is about to begin. As usual, there will be some speeches from the main creator. Then, the lights in the hall will dim and the screen will light up.
Lena, who had been listening intently to the creator's speech on the stage, glanced at her side again and found that Lydia Hester, who was sitting cross-legged, had an exaggeratedly large paper bucket mixed with popcorn and potato chips in her arms. The scent of such snacks wafted over, making Lina, who had been on a diet, feel that her saliva secretion was accelerating.
He looked away, and after a moment of doubt, he figured out that since this girl was a man's little treasure, there must be a maid following her, and they were the ones who brought the snacks.
And it is inevitable to be envious.
Young girl, this is so good. No matter how much you eat, you won’t get fat.
Although, she is also quite young, after all, she is only 26 years old this year, but she has reached an age where she has to control her mouth to maintain a good figure.
The label titles on the big screen passed quickly, and Lina put aside these minor worries and focused on the long-awaited film in front of her.
The main scene of the film begins in a suburban house that is obviously old.
The time is night.
The full moon in the sky seems to have a faint blush, which inevitably reminds people of the previous works in the series. The screams of unknown birds, the sudden wind, and the scattered leaves naturally bring the audience into a sense of tranquility. In a cold and terrifying atmosphere.
The Warrens showed up in their car.
The camera follows us to the door of the mansion.
It was obviously a middle-aged man from the host's family who came with his wife and several servants to greet the couple, a pair of paranormal investigators who had become famous even after the Blood Moon Incident, even though the authorities tried their best to conceal it.
During the simple conversation, in addition to the display of the Warrens' fame at this time, there was also the reason why the couple appeared in this mansion.
This is the mansion of the Skell family.
The Skell family is a famous business family in this city and is very wealthy.
According to the narrative of the male protagonist William Skell, the two were invited to save his father, Vincent Skell, who was troubled by evil spirits.
During the conversation, the group quickly came to a bedroom. On the big bed, there was a haggard old man who was dying. The only thing he could see was the terrifying face of the old man with bulging black veins. It was obviously not the result of a physiological disease within the scope of normal people's understanding. .
The Warrens made an inspection and made a similar judgment as the old man's son, and then began to arrange the exorcism ceremony.
During the busy process, the audience also got more information through the conversation between the couple.
Vincent Scarr, who made his fortune through smuggling, actually had a very bad reputation. He had done many widely publicized evil deeds in his early years, but he had never been caught. Ed Warren therefore hesitated to help the old man, but Lorraine Warren quickly dismissed her husband's concerns and said that they only dealt with the problem of ghosts, and the police should be responsible for human affairs.
At the same time, when the Warrens were dutifully preparing for the exorcism, and the middle-aged William Skye and other family members were also worried, the old man on the big bed inadvertently showed a flash of a strange smile. , there seemed to be expectation in his eyes.
The opening chapter, which is quite informative, actually only takes over two minutes.
In the screening hall, even though the performance of a certain haggard old man caused some doubts in the audience, most people still subconsciously felt that this might be another old-fashioned protagonist's halo display. At the beginning, he would take the minions to practice and show his strength, and then gradually gradually Entering a good state.
Many people also started to compare it with the third part.
The beginning of the blood moon incident caused by an underground abortion doctor was probably difficult to break through.
Audiences like Lena Kane, who had expectations but could not help but look forward to it, would inevitably feel a little disappointed when they saw this.
Is it really necessary to sink into mediocrity
However, since it has invested heavily in the development of the fourth part and has planned the fifth part in advance, Daenerys Entertainment will certainly not allow this mediocrity to happen.
The twist came quickly.
There's a ghost in the Skell family mansion, that's for sure.
However, things are far from as simple as the Warrens and even the audience outside the fourth wall imagine.
When the Warrens started the exorcism ritual, another weird ritual that had been set in advance was also triggered in the bedroom of Vincent Skye, who seemed to be dying.
In the blink of an eye, the Skye Mansion became an evil center with a strong attraction to ghosts. All kinds of frightening evil spirits gathered from all directions. The scene was no less than the scene at the beginning of the previous film. Blood moon night.
Not only that, in the bedroom of the mansion, Vincent Skye's body also changed. It seemed that an evil spirit was about to come out of Old Skye's body. The scene was extremely horrifying.
The Warrens were in a dilemma. On the one hand, they had to resist the evil spirit that broke through the two people's arrangement and broke into the mansion. On the other hand, they had to protect the old Skye who seemed to be killed by the evil spirit. At the critical moment, the old Skye unexpectedly recovered. His consciousness guided the Warrens to a direction in the mansion, and also said that the culprit that caused all this was there.
The Warrens already sensed something was wrong. After some hesitation, they still followed the old man's guidance.
Then, the couple met the God of Death, who was holding a scythe and shrouded in a black cloak!
For this human couple who had obviously disturbed the order of the underworld, the God of Death showed no politeness and launched a direct attack. The urgent situation did not allow the Warrens to think too much. In order to protect themselves, they had to fight back. In addition, there were many evil spirits gathering in the mansion to disrupt the situation.
A chaotic fight.
The owner and servants in the mansion were all killed or injured, and the Warrens were almost killed. At the critical moment, Ed Warren used a coin that became famous in the third part to create a sword of will and killed the God of Death. Other evil spirits also dispersed.
When everyone thought the crisis had finally been resolved, the answer was revealed.
It turns out that everything was a game of old Skye.
Through a mysterious evil ritual, Old Skell successfully transformed into an evil spirit when he was on the verge of death, indirectly achieving the continuation of life and achieving another kind of immortality.
The biggest obstacle to the success of this ritual is the god of death from hell.
In order to prevent his weak spirit body that had just completed transformation from being dragged into hell by the God of Death, Old Skye invited the Warrens in the name of exorcism. The Warrens also lived up to Skel's 'expectations'.
After the old Skye, who turned into an evil spirit, proudly revealed the truth to the Warrens, he turned into a puff of black smoke and floated away.
Seeing the mess in the mansion, many casualties, and even the old Skye who became an evil spirit, he no longer even cared about his own family. When he left, he casually dispersed the soul of a grandchild and still enjoyed it. The Warrens realized that this might be just the beginning of a bigger disaster.
The plot ends here, and the more than ten minutes long wedge ends.
When the official credits started, many people in the screening room just remembered to breathe and heaved a huge sigh of relief.
This opening chapter can only be described in two words: wonderful!
Lena Kane felt the same way. When she and Annika next to her looked at each other, they both felt that a certain man would not let them down.
However, after sighing, Lina remembered a vague thought again.
Regarding the thoughts I had after seeing various pre-publicity materials for "The Conjuring 4: Bleach" before, however, when I tried to grab it, it was always a little bit behind and out of reach.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to think about it for the time being, so Lina turned her attention to the big screen again.
In any case, with just this creative and exciting opening chapter, Lena can be sure that the Conjuring movie universe will once again usher in a huge commercial success.
