Chapter 97, The Eve of the Movie

The farce ended instantly. As a passerby, Alice walked across the track and field without any psychological pressure. No matter how the afflicted boy cried, she walked to the gate while Ashley was still surprised.

During the routine afternoon club activity, Alice described her achievements during the winter vacation in the club building shared by Johnson High School and Lincoln High School, the original literary club classroom, and the SOS team station.

"The whole city is selling crazy!"

"Look at the photos I took, these are the clothes of the mainland people today. Just like the look of returning to London in the 19th century, how could they endure the temptation of bell-bottom trousers?"

That's true. For Alice's description, and looking at the photos in her hand, Ashley and Sissi can fully understand it. Most of the bustling commercial streets with brick buildings below ten floors are crowded, although there are crowds of people, but looking around, they are all tempting with either sea blue, cement gray, or seaweed green uniforms. There are really people who can't... want to show off.

"I finally understand why you value the mainland market so much."

Ashley rubbed her nose and said, "As far as the situation is concerned, any company will throw some clothes over, it will be a big rush to buy disaster relief and food. And you also have the box office support of that movie, and the most important problem when developing a company is solved at once."

"But that's all."

Sissi sat on a chair and looked at today's Los Angeles Times: "From last Christmas to March, "The Ghost Record" has been released for five months. Even if you watch the entire Hollywood film history, how many movies can have such a long schedule? When it is finished this month, your capital flow will be greatly reduced."

For five months, it can be said that "The Legend of the Ghost" has really become the most popular movie of the year and the highest box office movie in the United States. After initially arousing the attention of fans with news and public opinion, more and more people began to discover that the movie is also very valuable.

Whether it is the slightly funny style of the beginning or the thrilling plot after the show, it has firmly turned batches of audiences into repeat customers. This movie has lasted for five months in major theaters across the country, which is definitely related to the fans' support again and again.

Many print media entertainment editions, including the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and even the British Sun overseas, have published overwhelming film and television reviews on this movie. Alice has been staying in the mainland for a while, and apart from paving the way for a new career with box office dividends every day, she really doesn't care much about these things.

"Anyway, DreamWorks has become famous. If there is any lack of funds, then make another movie to make money."

As she said with a relaxed look, Alice took today's Los Angeles Times from Sissi, and looked at the entertainment page facing the critics of "Ghost Records".

"The Psycho of Twelve Nights".

This is an article written by a well-known film critic. Although Alice doesn't know much about the industry, she must be a character after seeing his articles occupying such a large area on the page.

"Since almost all horror films will cause heated discussions about 'horror' or not', I need to make it clear at the beginning of this article that the audience who hopes to see a hideous face will be disappointed at the beginning of this article because there is no horror image from beginning to end of the run."

"I want to praise DreamWorks' film company. The promotional strategy of "Ghost Record" is very smart. First of all, with the murder of a high school student last year, it quickly made itself famous without any violation of the law. Even the lawsuit later ended like a farce and easily won more attention. In addition, it used word-of-mouth and viral publicity methods, and it perfectly matched the effects the movie wanted to create. With the ever-expanding reputation of "terror", more and more horror movie fans or curious audiences lined up at the entrance of the cinema. Although I don't know how much publicity the manufacturer has spent on this, it is definitely the world's top rate of return compared to the box office revenue today."

Seeing the content of the opening, Alice wanted to laugh a little. This critic was really a bit unique. Instead of analyzing the plot of the movie first, he praised DreamWorks' publicity strategy from an outside perspective, which is rare. Of course, what he said about word-of-mouth publicity strategy has nothing to do with Alice. It is obviously the official publicity method of DreamWorks, but his behavior has laid a solid foundation.

"Although it was surprising that many viewers were interested in the style of the opening of the movie, and it made it look like a comedy, but overall, it was a very clear and clear film of horror passages. The 12 nights with supernatural phenomena shown in the film are the most concentrated places."

"Although what happened on the first night was short and not worth mentioning at all, it was enough to hold the pillow tightly. This was the 9th minute of the movie. Without more preparation, the power of ‘real’ has begun to appear."

"At 22 minutes the movie goes on, when the camera is aimed at the bed and bedroom door of the male and female protagonists again, and then the subtitles of the 'third night' appear, the audience knows that it is about to start' and their nerves begin to tense up. These horror passages are almost always like this, warning the audience in advance: the scary tricks are about to be used."

"In fact, for a horror film, this formal announcement has a spoiler feeling, which is a very layman's method. But the cleverness of this film is that in the face of the 'reality', it is useless to make a fool of yourself, especially the protagonist is still watching the replay in heaven in the sky."

"So, as the slogan on the poster of this film says, it tells a story like this: What-Happens-When-You-Sleep. It can be said that at least after watching this movie, I would never want to use the camera to record my bedroom when I was sleeping. It's so terrible!"

"In the 42nd minute of the movie, the fifteenth night could be considered a climax. In fact, I have always thought sleepwalking was a weird and creepy thing, especially for people who saw others sleepwalking. Just imagine, if you wake up in the middle of the night and suddenly see someone standing in front of you... So, on the 15th night, the heroine sleepwalking, the TV in the bedroom was turned on, and she suddenly appeared behind the male protagonist, and she looked motionless for two hours. As an audience member, I was so scared..."

With such a review, the author analyzed the horrors of every night of the movie in detail, and even Alice felt her horizons wide open.

"Tsk tsk, movie reviews really fit the old saying."

She trembled with laughter and cry and said, "The audience is smarter than the director's series, and the audience thinks more series than the director. Although his analysis... I did have this idea when I filmed it, but after all, they are all emotional things, and he analyzed it so well..."

"Suddenly I felt so awesome, right?"

Xixi sneered and took the newspaper back: "Isn't that what it means to talk for so long? Well, busy man, I'll tell you another news now. Dreamworks phone number has long been blown up by major media. Now many people want to interview you, a talented director who works as a part-time screenwriter!"

Alice touched her nose, and for this expected reputation, she was silent for a moment and said, "Well, before Microsoft and Cisco stocks rose, she did not get much money for filming."

"But there are many troubles in celebrities. Alice, I don't recommend you to take the literary and artistic circles unless you are just interested in being a celebrity."

At this time, a mature and calm voice sounded, and Maiya, who had been reading books silently, said: "Occasionally, there is no problem to be a director, but if you are an actor, the overall sacrifice is too great. Filming itself is very hard, and as a star, exposing your private life is part of your responsibility. I really don't recommend you to develop there."

Alice smiled lightly, came to Wuya, and slowly combed her hair: "Don't worry, I have never planned to be an actor. It seems that you know it too. Not to mention anything else, making a movie will take several months, so I don't have that skill."

Watching from the side, seeing Alice suddenly combed Maiya's hair, Sissi felt annoyed for no reason and coughed hard, "Also, if you make a movie, you have to interact with other male actors whenever you move. Alice, you bastard, I can warn you, if you dare to hug other men casually, I won't kick you to death!"

Ashley's eyes swept between the two strangely, and she didn't say anything. As for Alice, after hearing Xixi's words, she trembled and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I said what's wrong with you all? I didn't say I want to be an actor."

"This is called preventing problems before they happen!"

"Anyway, I don't want this classroom to become a paparazzi's secret photography venue. Is this a reason?"
