After the press conference, the aftermath has not subsided for a long time.
The next day, a promotional video that lasted less than one minute was uploaded on the Internet. Under the brightly colored lens, in the misty rain and mist, the boy in a simple white shirt smiled through the window, which was particularly moving.
A new movie called "The Monologue" is hot before it airs.
For other films, from promotion to pre-heating, advertising is overwhelming, or the entire crew is promoted on variety shows, and commercial performances are performed all over the country to make the film popular.
Instead of doing it, he found another way. By killing the two major groups in just a few days, he sacrificed a top trafficker, a new flower, and his own father, and harvested a large amount of money at once. heat.
Of course, all this enthusiasm has been transferred to his new movie.
[Looking at the name of the movie and the clip of the promotional video, it should be a small? Fresh love movie, right? ]
[Shooting a small? Fresh love movie in a mental hospital? Is this subject really okay? Redemption between nurse and patient? I always feel something is wrong...]
[Ah, the promotional video is amazing, little brother is super handsome! I have to support this beauty! ]
The comments on the Internet are roughly divided into two categories, one is fans who only care about the protagonist's appearance, and the other is serious speculation about the plot, but most people think this should be a small and refreshing movie, And it is very likely to be redemptive and healing.
Although the last "Deep Palace" was a complete failure, even the investment cost was not recovered? But I recalled the amazingness of "Ghost", and this time the movie happened to be related to the mental hospital case a few days ago. The connection still greatly aroused the curiosity of netizens.
You know, the whole process that was not broadcast live that day was screenshotted and turned into a lot of emoticons, the most popular so far is the picture of him yawning quietly, and the background next to it is the picture of other people impassioned.
The picture is also accompanied by #But? It is to cure a disease, solve a case, and shoot a scene by the way. Don't be six in basic exercises. You guys? Never seen? What the world looks like? Makes me just want to doze off. #、# Ah, another peaceful and boring day. If I have nothing to do, I will die. #和#Get out of the way, it's my turn to perform! #Wait a little? Joke?.
Many people are very curious about how special this film, which claims to be self-directed and self-directed, has no other actors involved, and all scenes are shot on-site in a mental hospital, is different from ordinary movies.
Due to Star Entertainment's suppression and restrictions, those who choose to cooperate with Yuan Buwei are those who have a festival with Star Entertainment, or don't care about Star Entertainment's theaters at all. On the first day, a total of 800 theaters were screened at the same time, and the screening rate 70%.
Whether it's a coincidence or on purpose, Star Entertainment also suddenly announced that the movie that was originally planned to be released next month will also be released on this day.
— This is a fantasy film directed by a famous director. It has been promoted for a month, and there is no lack of popularity.
Didn't it happen that when I turned on the computer for the first time in the mental hospital, I saw Star Entertainment mentioned that "Deep Palace" was shot, and said that I had misread the director before, and the next movie will definitely not disappoint everyone. ——At that time, the new movie that the other party stepped on his enthusiasm to promote was this fantasy blockbuster "The Tide of Youdu".
People in the circle just had enough lemons these days, and now they are all waiting to see the joke that Yuan did not make.
From their point of view, such a movie has low investment, low cost, no big-name actors, and even the only actor is the director himself, and a group of doctors, nurses and patients in a mental hospital who act as a set... there are countless movies, However, it was aroused by the ingenious operation, and many viewers came to watch it purely for the novelty.
It just so happens that there are no movies that are too competitive recently. This movie has become popular, even if the content is not good, it can make a small fortune after it is released. But? Now that they are colliding head-on with Star Entertainment's blockbuster, they will be beaten to the brim, and the contrast is extremely tragic.
Many people are waiting for Shengshi's side to deal with it, but? Shengshi's side is calm and calm, with a calm attitude. This is obviously the rhythm of preparing for a direct hard bar.
Seven days later, "The Monologue" was released as scheduled, without any grand premiere or opening ceremony, it landed in major theaters amidst the much-anticipated attention.
At the entrance of a certain theater, people come and go, Mo Qing comes along with the crowd, the expression on her face is extremely subtle.
She doesn't chase stars herself, but she is an avid movie lover. Whenever I hear that there is a good movie released, I can't help but come to the cinema to 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? It also wasted two hours of her!
For this reason, she wrote a long review, criticizing the whole movie as useless, and also @the spicy chicken director who made this spicy chicken movie?, which won likes and likes from fans of the original book.
Afterwards, all kinds of black material about the other party exploded on the Internet. Mo Qing didn't realize that she had been incited by the navy, vented all her anger, and became a part of the Internet mob. member.
It wasn't until Yuan Buwei was named and praised by the official twice that she vaguely realized that she seemed to have made a mistake. After watching the live broadcast of the press conference a few days ago, Mo Qing suddenly realized: "Yes, those Why don't people call the police when they are really wronged, and just cry and sell miserably on the Internet?"
People like Yuan Buwei who just disagreed with each other? It is like a mudslide in this entertainment industry, but they washed people like Mo Qing out of the shadow of public opinion and let them recover. sober.
These people only feel that they have learned a new way of looking at problems from the actions of Yuan Weiwei, and they have turned to followers one after another, and regard Yuan Weiwei as their new idol in their hearts.
Today, Mo Qing came to watch this movie with the feeling of supporting her idol. Before, she did not indiscriminately wrong her idol. This time, no matter whether the new movie is good or not, she will support it to the end!
For this extremely discerning fanatical movie lover, making such a decision is tantamount to a top gourmet? Forcing himself? To taste pig food, it is too great a sacrifice.
Mo Qing made up her mind and walked into the cinema.
The lights went off, but the screen didn't turn on immediately, instead it was pitch black.
"A. A. A. A..."
There was a full ten seconds of silence. Just when Mo Qing was puzzled, several extremely weird sounds suddenly came out from the darkness. It was indescribable, but at the very first moment they sounded, one's heart couldn't help but tense. .
On the completely black screen, handwriting gradually appeared.
As the first word fell, the darkness on the screen dissipated like smoke, and only then did everyone realize that this was a page of the open diary.
A hand is holding a pen and writing on it.
"September 17th, the weather was fine. What woke me up was the creaking sound on the window. Someone was scratching the window with long fingernails. It wanted to enter my house. It came... it came... It's coming, it's coming!"
The last stroke suddenly made a long scratch.
I don't know why, seeing this, Mo Qing's whole body trembled, and suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
She couldn't help but folded her hands, touched her arms, and said to herself, "Maybe it's the background sound? It's too scary. Where did you find this soundtrack master?"
In the background of this movie, there is always a kind of strange sound that seems to be everywhere, like the sound of wind, or someone shouting and screaming from a very far away. The audience felt inexplicably flustered and had goosebumps.
And that's when the film really begins.
The diary was slowly closed, and two distorted black characters appeared—"Monologue".
These two words have been dripping ink continuously, like bleeding. As the camera turned, the thick ink slowly dripped into the transparent water, and the water droplets spread outward in circles.
A male voice with clear texture sounded from one side.
"Ah, it's raining. Moving in rainy days?!"
The first thing that appears in the camera is the steps that are constantly being dropped by raindrops, revealing a gray-white corner of the wall. Then move up slowly, from mud-splattered shoes? and trouser legs, to clean, neat shirts of ordinary texture, and then a delicate collarbone and chin...
In the end, what appeared in the shot was a young, clean-cut and good-looking face. He was sitting on the steps, his legs slightly bent, and he was panickingly covering the diary in his arms with the jacket he had taken off, with a troubled expression on his face.
In the background behind him, people could be vaguely seen coming in and out in the distance, and he could hear noisy and noisy human voices, as well as the sound of wheels crushing the ground. It seems to be moving?.
This one-man show, which is said to have only one protagonist, just started from this rainy day.
It can be seen from the surrounding background and the dialogue between the town residents who are not in the picture and the protagonist that it is August. In order to avoid a fanatical suitor, the protagonist temporarily moves to a strange small town to relax.
Mo Qing subconsciously nodded her head: "So it's a flashback." Then she suddenly realized, "The filming technique of this movie seems to be a bit special."
how to say? It’s a bit like the way of shooting documentaries in the last century. Everything presented in the lens gives people a feeling of “real and natural”. Watch an unbelievably true story that happened somewhere in the world live.
Almost all the shots in the movie are focused on the protagonist. From the first day he moved here, he got up early alone, cooked, drew in the room, read books, etc., sometimes looking at the rainy weather and worrying...
In addition to the protagonist, there are occasional other shots that will shoot the rainy scene outside the window and 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, hiss, 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 relaxation, there is an inexplicable depression from time to time, and it always feels like some kind of hidden danger is slowly creeping in from the dark ?.
This is a kind of? silent?, a surge of depression.
In the movie theater, many people have long since forgotten the popcorn and drinks they brought in at the beginning, and they tightened their hands unknowingly, grabbing their thighs, or the arms of their boyfriends and girlfriends next to them. superior.
What happened next? The plot changed as expected.
After a few days of peace and relaxation, strange things began to happen, things missing from home from time to time, hairs appearing on the pillow at night, suspicious shadows flashing past the window... many, many The accumulation of tiny "events" and the superimposition of subtle and weird feelings made the audience's nerves tense unconsciously.
The residents of the small town who are still not in the picture and only have voices, their attitudes when talking to the protagonist have also changed.
It seems that after the protagonist's arrival, all sorts of weird and ominous things happened in this small town, and rumors grew in secret, which gradually changed other people's attitude towards him.
The director's lens always focuses on the protagonist.
The audience can clearly perceive how he went from being relaxed at the beginning, to being angry later, and then after a long time of not being able to find the mastermind behind the scenes, he became more and more restless, restless, and panicked.
It has to be said that this contagious acting skill made the audience feel involved, so that they completely ignored the familiarity brought by this face that became popular on the Internet not long ago.
—The current him is either the "Yan Dao" who has been "directed" by netizens in various ways, or the protagonist in the play.
Mo Qing had completely forgotten about the previous thoughts of coming? Her eyes were fixed on 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 brushed sharply? The window, as if there were a pair of eyeballs? Sticking to the outside of the window, staring at him closely with eager eyes!
"ah!"
This scene is portrayed extremely strangely under the director's lens, even every micro-expression of the protagonist under the fear is also included in the lens, and the atmosphere is rendered just right. Some audience members in the movie theater couldn't help screaming, and the popcorn in their hands was scared away.
In the extremely real, documentary-like camera footage, everyone? nervously and uneasyly following the perspective of the protagonist, seeing him panting heavily, carefully? opening the door?, and looking out!
The courtyard was empty, the windows and the walls were covered with blood splatters, and there was a smashed hole on the ground, and there was a strange twisted mark in the hole.
—It seems that someone jumped from his roof? When he was about to die, his twisted limbs kept struggling on the ground until he died.
The picture supplemented by the protagonist's brain is naturally presented by the movie lens in an illusory way. The twisted and grotesque fuzzy human figure struggling on the ground exaggerates the current panic atmosphere more than ten times.
The audience in the entire movie theater fell into an inexplicable panic along with the protagonist.
As an avid movie buff, Mo Qing didn't know much professional knowledge, but the more she watched the movies, the higher her discrimination level would naturally be.
She was trembling with her arms in her arms, and she didn't forget to analyze randomly in her heart and think wildly, so as to get rid of the creepy fear:
"Amazing. The director's camera language and atmosphere rendering are so strong! They didn't use too powerful special effects or too many props, yet they were able to achieve this kind of effect! Maybe it's also related to the protagonist's acting skills? Ehhhhhhh Isn't the director and the protagonist? the same person? So, after all, Director Yan is too 6!"
Thinking of those emojis of the enthusiastic citizen Yan Yan, when I looked at the protagonist again, I unconsciously regained my composure. Even if there were ghosts, Director Yan would probably arrest them and report them all.
After silently reading "Trust Yan Dao" ten times, Mo Qing calmed down her beating heart a little, and continued to read.
In the subsequent plot, the director maximized his ability to render panic. There was no exclamation in the movie theater, but almost everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, unknowingly immersed in the plot, like It's like worrying about some monster suddenly appearing in the dark.
Under the lens of the movie, the protagonist's emotional changes are almost progressive. His sanity slips rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he gradually becomes more and more nervous.
And the atmosphere in the small town also changed from relaxed and peaceful at the beginning to extremely depressing. The townspeople who are not in the picture maintain a sense of presence with their voices.
Affected by some kind of weirdness, the voices of these people also changed from peaceful at the beginning to neurotic at the end, with indescribable weirdness.
"Stay away from that house?!"
"There is an ogre living there, will it 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!"
As the plot continues to progress, the protagonist has become the target of small town residents? One day, he was almost dragged out by crazy small town residents to share his food!
Fortunately, at the last moment, the protagonist struggled desperately and finally escaped back to his house. He used boards, nails, iron chains, and everything else he could use to desperately seal off the entire room, and also locked himself here.
He shivered in the room.
Crazy residents? Unknown strange monsters that may be lurking in the dark surrounded this house? They were all watching him outside.
——This episode is very fast-paced, and it is also the first time that the residents of the small town appear on the stage, but they do not show their faces. Their figures are blurred and distorted under the camera. Only when a pair of hands grab the protagonist, they appear clear .
The protagonist finally escaped safely? After that, the camera turned again and re-freezes.
It was another night, in a completely dark room, the protagonist was sitting on the bed alone, staring at the window with wide-eyed eyes, and his lips were still moving.
The weird sound sounded outside the window again.
"A. A. A. A..."
There is only darkness on the screen, and a little bit of moonlight peeking through the window splits the protagonist's face into two halves.
Half of the face is abnormally calm, and the other corner of the mouth is bent, as if about to be relieved; half of the face is terrified and distorted, and the wide-eyed eyes are full of extreme fear.
——The director's use of the lens is too perfect, and the proportion of light is just right, so that the picture presented in the eyes of the audience has an extreme impact.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"
"Boom" sound?!
The screen suddenly went black
"call-"
Suddenly there was the sound of breathing one after another in the movie theater. Many people really held their breath just now, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
To say that the plot of the story is particularly novel is not necessarily true, but the exaggeration of the panic in the film is really unbelievably brilliant. Coupled with the sense of reality brought by the documentary-like images, all the audience only felt that they had experienced such an experience just like the protagonist, and there was a feeling of escaping from death.
Many people here actually came here with the same thoughts as Mo Qing, because they misunderstood the director before, and decided to contribute to the box office out of guilt. Unexpectedly, the final harvest is unexpected.
A film critic who got in the way wiped the cold sweat from his brow: "There is something about this director."
Then 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?, which was particularly eye-catching.
The film critic couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and complained: "It seems? Not just the director, but all aspects, there are so many billions? Points? Things."
Just as the audience was about to leave, they heard a sudden sound on the screen, which sounded a bit like the emergency bell in a hospital.
Didi Didi…
The audience looked up in astonishment, and saw that the camera, which had always been dim before, suddenly became brighter, revealing an empty ward.
"On the 23rd, it's time to take medicine."
The voice of the young female nurse sounded, and a thin and pale boy wrapped in a hospital gown sat down on the bed, and he raised his head little by little.
Showing a young, clean and good-looking face.
He smiled slightly at the camera.
It seems to overlap with the scene at the beginning of the film.
"hiss!"
There was a sound of gasping in the theater. This smile is completely different from the opening chapter, so that they can't appreciate the idea of admiring the beauty of the beautiful boy, but feel an indescribable panic in an instant.
— This smile is simply too weird, it is by no means a normal person's smile, the other party is completely insane.
The picture on the screen dimmed a little bit? A little bit? A calendar could be vaguely seen flying in the corner.
The door of the ward? When it was pushed open, there was wind blowing? Calendar. Show the above date—
September seventeenth.
The appearance of the last episode seemed to subvert the previous content. There were constant whispers in the theater, and many audiences began to discuss excitedly. Mo Qing also forcibly calmed down the mood of ups and downs, and then walked out with the flow of people. Eyes brightened with excitement.
She is like an old gourmet who has eaten a full meal. At this time, she is radiant, full of energy, and extremely satisfied, and even has the idea of having another meal.
And she is obviously not the only one who thinks like her. When she walked to the door, she heard many people shouting:
"Again? A "Monologue"!"
"Didn't you read it just now? Did you read it again? Do you still want to watch it?"
"Don't mention it, I didn't notice a lot of details just now, I feel like I haven't watched enough, I have to watch it again carefully! This movie is really unexpected!"
"That's true! I can't believe that there is still a director who can make this kind of film without half a ghost? It's so scary, and obviously there are no powerful special effects. It's really immersive. It scared me just now In a cold sweat."
"Have you noticed the date on the calendar just now? According to the records in the diary, this day should happen to be the day when the protagonist was eaten in the previous scene. It turned out that the last scene was in a mental hospital. Could it be that before The protagonist is dreaming, and now he is awake? I don’t think it’s that simple, does it?”
"Can you still think like this? I didn't even think about it so much. I was shaking so much that the popcorn shook all over the floor. It seems? This movie is really worth watching again."
Hearing the discussion next to her, Mo Qing became more and more itchy as she listened to it. Suddenly, she felt an impulse, and rushed to the ticket office proudly, ignoring the crying of her wallet:
"Come again? A "Monologue", I want to read it again!"
