04. Speaking of being blocked, there are lunatics in 'The Asylum of Ten Thousand Worlds'. Both the s
The screen playing various trailers went dark, and the theater with less than 30% of the seats became silent.
With the popularity of the film industry, a few small-budget R-rated movies are released every month, with a batch of new characters and simple scripts, making a fortune and leaving.
"The Cabin of Horror" falls into this category. The Lionsgate Pictures logo flashes away, and the film begins.
The opening shot of the film overlooks a forest, a waterhole, and a small wooden house from above. Amidst the gentle pure music, the production credits appear in the lower right corner of the subtitles.
After the long tilt of the head, accompanied by a wake-up cry, the scene of the players shaping themselves in the cabin was shown, and the film officially began.
Cutscenes last only a few minutes, and players can only take a quick glance at them. Today's full version of one and a half hours allows them to watch everything clearly, although this is also an edited version rather than a true complete version.
The director's shooting techniques are very immature, but the script is very mature. He seems to know where to foreshadow, where to scare people, and where to relax.
If there is a horror formula for horror movies, then the director of this film must have followed this formula strictly. Although it is not fresh, it is quite satisfactory.
The recording staff of Lionsgate Pictures sitting in a corner thought, judging from the screams in the theater, it would not be a problem to get the money back within two weeks.
That's why Lionsgate picked up the film and spent $50,000 to buy it - even though it only cost less than $20,000.
The recorder turned his head slightly and looked at the six figures in the last row. He didn't expect to have the chance to meet the starring actors of this film, but...
He chuckled and turned back. They were just a group of unknown little actors, so there was no need to say hello.
At this time, among the player community, seeing "themselves" appearing in movies, screaming and being brutally killed, the feeling was a bit complicated.
An hour and a half passed quickly, until the protagonist's team was completely wiped out, the movie ended, and the theater lights slowly came on.
The players each stretched themselves and stood up, preparing to go home.
When they came out of the theater, they saw a staff member outside the gate who was holding the audience after the show to conduct market research and ask them to rate and evaluate "Horror Cabin".
Very few people gave points for A, and most of them gave points for B or C, with the latter accounting for the majority.
When the players passed by, they heard some spectators complaining to the staff.
"It looks pretty good... but the name of the lead actor is too weird, I said... It doesn't matter that Ye Sanhun, who has a Chinese name, is a white man, what's the deal with the one called Rabbit Eating Sugar Cane...
...What a drama. Do you understand the feeling of being scared to death and wanting to laugh at the same time?”
The companion beside him nodded in agreement: "Second, do you know how uncomfortable it was for me to hold back my laughter when I heard the chainsaw killer's hoarse and low voice: 'Rabbit eating sugar cane, you are going to die soon'?"
Swish——
Five eyes focused on the rabbit eating sugar cane.
The rabbit shrank its neck and hid behind Martin.
After leaving the cinema, the group stood at the foot of the steps and suddenly realized that something was missing.
"Where are the Musu people?"
Wen Xiang looked around, and others turned around to look for him.
"I think it should be a."
A familiar voice sounded from behind, and the players turned around to see Mu Su standing in front of the staff, commenting and talking: "The film has just the right amount of relaxation. The horror is also filled with a beautiful sense of art.
In particular, the leading actor named Mu Su left a deep impression on me. I think this guy is definitely capable of winning the Oscar for Best Actor. I am looking forward to that moment."
The staff opened their mouths wide and still didn't react.
Wen Xiang felt so embarrassed that she covered her face and ran over, pulling Mu Su's arm and dragging him away.
"I haven't finished talking yet...what are you doing to me--"
The five people and Mu Su, who was kicking his legs, quickly left...
On the way back, the players were very interested in talking about various topics, such as whether there will be fans and reporters after becoming famous, what will happen if they go to the director? Or discussing how to get involved in the movie.
Although it is a competitive relationship, the atmosphere between players is still quite friendly.
"Where are the Musu people?"
Familiar lines, familiar scene.
Wen Xiang looked around, and others turned around to look for him.
They had returned to the downstairs apartment where Rabbit lived, but Mu Su was missing.
After searching to no avail, Wen Xiang suddenly became discouraged and said, "He might have to go it alone again."
As one of the three people who first met Mu Su, Wen Xiang didn't have a high sense of presence, but she still understood this guy. Based on past experience... I'm afraid he slipped out to play by himself again.
Some of Wen Xiang was worried about gains and losses, but others were slightly relieved. Maybe it was because of their psychology, they could always feel the evil aura on Mu Su's body.
Back in the apartment, several other people ran to watch TV. Wenxiang, who knew how to operate a 21st century computer, entered the bedroom and quietly tried to search for movies on the search engine.
She actually found some good results, such as the famous rating website Rotten Tomatoes, which has included "Horror Cabin".
Currently, there are only 27 people who have rated it, with a freshness rating of 53%. Comments and ratings from professional film critics are not displayed.
Maybe it’s because I don’t like it, or maybe it’s just because the premiere just ended and I haven’t had time to say anything long.
Wen Xiang tried to click on her name in the actor column, but the personal page only had one movie: "Horror Cabin".
After all, it's just the first show.
Slightly discouraged, they returned to the living room. The four players watched TV happily, while Bradman shouted for takeout.
"Let's go hungry until the next movie starts." Rabbit sighed helplessly and showed his wallet to everyone. "I have no money..."
The laughter and laughter stopped abruptly.
…
What should you do if you are famous but have no money? Monetizing your fame is a good way.
At the same time, in a bar a few hundred meters away from the apartment.
"But you are just the protagonist of a small-budget movie, and you are one of the six protagonists."
"So I only borrowed US$2,000." Mu Su said, spreading his hands.
In the bustling bar, Mu Su was discussing with a bank employee he was looking for.
"In fact, my new movie is ready to be released. It won't be long before you see my latest movie released."
The man in a suit opposite his head squinted his eyes: "What movie is it?"
Mu Su shook his head, his voice barely audible in the noise: "I can't tell you the confidentiality regulations yet."
The man holding the back hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can only lend you $1,000, with a daily interest rate of 1%."
"Okay." Mu Su agreed decisively.
"This is my phone number. Go to the bank in Atlanta and meet me tomorrow morning with something that can prove your identity."
Mu Su accepted the business card he handed over and said with a smile: "Do you need a signature? If you want to sign now, it's free."
