"Sniper Phone Booth" was released on Galaxy Video three days in advance. It was in the best position right above the online movie category. Several movie posters scrolled in turn, occupying a position.
The new film reservation column below also occupies a quota, and there are still three days left in the countdown.
As one of the largest video websites in China, Galaxy Video’s traffic is quite considerable.
Although the vast majority of online movies are shoddy and bad movies, there are too few domestic screens and only a few movies are produced every year, so it is not that easy to watch new movies.
There are still a lot of viewers watching online movies, otherwise "The Master Goes Down the Mountain" would not have been able to win 8 million at the box office.
A valid click costs 5 yuan, which means that this online university has received a total of 1.6 million valid clicks.
This is not a click generated by swiping. A valid click costs 5 yuan. If it were easy to swipe, the website would have been poached long ago.
Within three days, people discovered the movie "Sniper Phone Booth" one after another, and most people clicked on it to watch the trailer first.
Anyway, the trailer does not require membership, money, or time.
As a B-level movie lover, Lu Chao has watched more than 20 online movies in the past two months. Every day when he returns to his dormitory, he habitually opens the three major video websites: Galaxy, Penguin, and Tomato to see if they suit his taste.
The new network is big.
For this reason, he got the VIP status of three websites in a row!
I went back to the dormitory today and turned on the computer as usual, ready to see if there was anything I could watch online.
Although he knows that most of the movies on the Internet are bad, they don't have as many restrictions as theatrical movies, and they can make many types of movies.
The quality is basically the same, but it's better than nothing. One movie only lasts an hour, which is not long.
First, I opened Galaxy Video and saw that "The Taoist Master 2" would not be released until two days later. Then I discovered that there was an additional movie in the top row of posters in the major online categories.
"Sniper Phone Booth"?
The name is quite interesting.
Clicking on the trailer shows a man answering the phone in a phone booth.
There was a deep male voice on the phone, "Hello, this is really interesting."
"When you hear the phone ringing, it might be someone else's phone, but you still can't help but pick it up, right?"
The shots are not complete, but short segments are taken from each shot and edited into a fast-paced short film.
"who are you?"
"Don't think about hanging up the phone. I originally wanted to give you a takeaway so that you can have the energy to deal with what's going to happen next."
"I'm going to hang up the phone next, this joke is not funny at all!"
"No, you won't!"
"Who are you?"
"If you want to know, you can look around. There are hundreds of windows around."
"You're scratching your head now."
"Call your wife and tell her about you and Lily."
"As long as you say a word, he won't bother you anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang", and the gangster leader who wanted to snatch the protagonist's phone was shot dead and his body was found on the spot.
After a close-up of Lei Jiayin's frightened face, the scene changed to reveal that the protagonist was surrounded by a large group of police.
Lei Jiayin was on the verge of collapse at this time and sprayed two Chinese curse words into the phone.
The scene changed again, and Lei Jiayin suddenly took out a pistol from the top of the phone booth, rushed out of the phone booth almost frantically, and raised the pistol high.
He yelled crazily, "Come on, you fucking shot, come on..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a violent gunshot, and Lei Jiayin's raised hands suddenly froze, and then he fell straight to the ground.
As soon as the picture went dark, the five characters "Sniper Phone Booth" appeared on the screen.
The trailer is short and there is only one.
After all, it is a 60-minute online movie. Just like an ordinary movie, it has four or five trailers, each two minutes long. The trailers are all included in the trailer.
Apart from being very exciting in itself, the footage in this trailer does not reveal much key information.
It can not only attract the audience's attention, but also maintain a sense of mystery.
Lu Chao's eyes lit up in front of the computer screen. To be honest, this trailer shocked him.
Although in terms of excitement, there are many movies on the Internet that are more exciting, such as some erotic films. People who watch the trailers are eager to move, and their hearts are burning.
But the trailer of "Sniper Phone Booth" gave him a rough idea of the plot of the movie.
A man, who was having an affair, answered a strange phone call on the street. The person on the other end of the phone was supposed to be a killer, who killed a gangster who seemed to have a conflict with the protagonist.
Then the police came, suspecting that the protagonist had killed him. The protagonist cursed the killer a few words, then took out a pistol from the phone booth, rushed out, and was beaten to death.
However, we have no idea who the protagonist is, who the killer is, what his purpose is, and whether the protagonist was killed by the police or the killer.
Lu Chao became interested in movies and read the comments below. There were about ten comments.
"First!"
"what movie???"
"The trailer seems pretty good. The one making the phone call is the protagonist, right? Why is he dead?"
"Maybe the person on the other end of the phone is the protagonist, and the protagonist is a killer!"
"That's right, top killers never take action themselves. You can see that the person who answered the phone is getting more and more emotional. The killer probably wanted to stimulate him and let the police kill him."
"Fuck, that's what I thought too. I killed that gangster just to frame him. He also attracted the police. The gun in the phone booth was also placed by the killer. He stimulated the man to come out of the phone booth with the gun, and then the police killed him naturally.
He got it."
"Maybe there are gangsters and killers, and the one who shoots is the gangster."
…
It has to be said that viewers who have watched too many movies and TV series have a very strong ability to make up their own minds. After watching a relatively complete trailer, they can make up the rest of the plot in their minds.
Lu Chao carefully read through the dozen or so messages and thought about them carefully.
Is the protagonist the one who answers the phone, or is the protagonist the killer on the other end of the phone?
"Damn it, I seem to have been led astray. Could it be that the killer is really the protagonist!"
The more I think about it, the more likely it is that if it was the protagonist who answered the phone, it wouldn't be right for him to be killed like that.
Lu Chao became more and more interested and wrote down the time of going online.
…
Two days later, at ten o'clock in the evening on Saturday, Lu Chao arrived late after the dinner party.
When I returned to the dormitory, I remembered the movie I had been waiting for two days and immediately turned on the computer.
"I don't know what is going on, who is the protagonist, whether the protagonist is dead or not, and whether the killer has been caught."
I suppressed my curiosity to read the comments, found the movie, and clicked to play it.
At the same time, turn off the barrage.
After thinking about it, I decided to use the barrage. If I don’t open the barrage, I always feel that something is missing. There should be no spoilers at this time.
When the movie started playing, there were very few comments and there was no risk of spoilers, so Lu Chao felt relieved.
The beginning still shows satellites flying over in space, and the camera drops rapidly from the atmosphere to the ground.
After several close-ups of passers-by answering phone calls, the character who looked like the male protagonist in the trailer appeared and was also on the phone.
There was also a submissive little follower behind him, and at the same time, there were obviously more barrages.
"Coming, coming, the killer is coming!"
"The killer has appeared!"
"The little follower who comes from behind is the killer, you're welcome!"
"What I said before is right!"
"I testify that the little follower is the killer!"
"Spoiler Dog Sima!"
…
Lu Chao's face darkened as the number of barrages gradually increased, but this little follower looked like he was suffering a little, and he didn't look like a killer at all.
However, immediately afterwards, Peng Yuchang was scolded by Lei Jiayin for a trivial matter, which made Lu Chao also become suspicious.
The thing that looks the least like a murderer is actually a murderer. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this scene before.
It is very possible that this little follower has been bullied for a long time, which is why he sidelined this revenge.
Spoilers for Dog Sima!!!
Lu Chao cursed those people on the barrage in his heart, and then also posted a barrage.
"After reading this, the little follower is the killer, you're welcome!"
After sending out the barrage, a satisfied smile appeared on his face and he continued to read.
