This actor is punished

He doesn't care about popularity or his reputation.

He just wants to do his own work well.

But why are there always people who don't want him to make good works?

Then try it first, and hit it back hard with your work.

At this moment, the time is May 2025, 5.

In China, now is the opening time of the crucial May [-]st file, and it is also an important time for the outbreak of domestic movies.

Most of everyone's attention is now on the movies that will be released on May [-]st.

However, for Wu Zui's fans, they also have a very important thing to pay attention to, that is, the day when Wu Zui's new movie, "Chain Saw", is officially released in North America and Xiang'ao Bay!

Although most of them may not be able to see this movie for the first time, it does not prevent them from paying attention to the latest developments!

(It’s three more today, but the remaining two chapters are updated during the day. I have to adjust my schedule and go back to report, so I can go to sleep after reading it.)

Chapter 210

May [-]st.

America is located in Times Square in the heart of Manhattan, New York City, where there is the largest Broadway theater in America.

Broadway Cinema, as a film and television giant with a history of more than a hundred years, has entered the industry when the world film industry is still in its infancy. Over the years, countless excellent films have gone out from here and spread to all over the world. .

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that Broadway can be regarded as a giant in the film and television industry that can influence the entire world.

This has also caused a problem, that is, Broadway is the most popular theater chain, and the competition is really big. All movies want to be shown here, and almost every schedule is full of excellent movies.

However, there are obviously not many that can attract people's attention and break through the siege.

Unless the quality of your work is amazing, it won't work at all, because North America is a very strange place, they don't recognize actors and directors very much.

Even if it is a work shot by the world's top directors, if it is not good-looking, it is not good-looking. As long as the quality is not good, people will be scolded the next day.

In Hanxia, ​​movies made by great directors, even if they are bad movies, will go through the entire release process, and the box office will not be bad, at most they will lose a little.

But in North America, even if you are a big director, as long as the movie is not good-looking, people will really not watch it after reading the reviews of Rotten Tomatoes and various audiences.

Then there are international directors who rushed to death after three days of release.

So in this place, if newcomers are really promising, it is also a place where they can rise quickly. This is a very friendly soil for newcomers.

The premise is that the newcomers can successfully pass through the early period when no one cares about them.

Now, the Broadway theater is full of excitement. Everyone is picking up tickets or buying movie tickets on the spot, choosing the movie they want to watch.

"Please give me a ticket for "Rainy Night", thank you."

However....

Just when a black guy with glasses and looking stupid took out 50 dollars and wanted to buy himself a movie ticket.

But the conductor said with an apologetic expression: "Oh! Sorry, sir, the shows of "Scary Night" are sold out today, you can choose to make an appointment two days later, can you wait?"

"Oh shit!" The black boy was instantly unhappy: "Why so fast? Such a popular movie, why don't you arrange more scenes?"

"I'm sorry, sir, it's not that we don't arrange a show, but...you know, this is the new work of John Sellers, the king of thrillers."

"Okay, forget it in two days, I can't wait so long, hell! I should have come to line up earlier!" The black boy said regretfully.

However, just when he was about to leave.

The conductor suddenly said, "Hey, sir, you actually have other options."

The little black brother stopped in his tracks immediately, and there was a look of interest in his eyes, because as a housekeeper, he came out of the house with great difficulty, and if he went back like this, he would still be a little unwilling.

Generally, North American theaters also have this tradition. If the movie ticket of the guest's first choice is sold out, they will recommend some movies of the same type to the guest.

"You can elaborate." The black brother said.

"It's like this. If you like watching horror movies, there will actually be two thriller movies released this time. You can find out."

The conductor took out a small ticket and handed it over: ""Saw", this movie is not bad, I have seen it myself, in my opinion, it is not worse than "Rainy Night", and it is still worth watching. Not many people have discovered this fact, I think, for you, sir, it will be a treasure movie."

""Saw"?" The black boy frowned and took the movie ticket.

What was printed on the movie ticket was the image of a man wearing a pale mask, with stumps scattered around, and black blood stains on the background wall.

Does it really look like that?

But the starring lineup and director information.

"Wuzui, xiayuanmo, zhouming...." The black brother frowned: "Why haven't I heard of any of them?"

"This is a movie introduced by Hanxia." The conductor explained.

"Hey, hey, hey, no!!"

Like PTSD, the black brother immediately put down the ticket in his hand in shock: "shit! You want to lie to me! I've seen Han Xia's horror movie. I was disgusted and didn't eat for three days!"

He could swear on his grandma's dentures, it was the worst movie he'd ever seen!

Obviously, he is certainly not the only one.

The conductor was helpless. This was not the first time he had sold tickets for "Chain Saw" today, but it was the same in all the situations he encountered.

So far, the number of tickets they have sold for the premiere of this movie is less than ten!

Yes, it's that miserable, single-digit tickets, and the first premiere is less than half an hour away!

The conductor could only say: "Sir, you have to try everything, don't you? I can guarantee with my life that this is indeed a very good work, even better than "Rainy Night" in some aspects!"

"Are you serious?" The black boy frowned.

"Yes!" The conductor nodded affirmatively.

"This..." The little black brother fought with heaven and man.

But when I think about traveling all the way to Times Square, it will take a lot of trouble.

A letter seems to be ok.

He gritted his teeth: "Okay! I bought it!"

He immediately took the movie ticket and handed over $50.

Soon, the clerk deducted part of the tip after giving the change, handed the change to the black brother, and said at the same time: "Sir, this is a restricted movie, and identity information is required."

"Give."

The black brother handed over his citizenship ID card.

The conductor took it and confirmed it: "Mr. Beetlejuice?"

"Yes, my nigger." Beetlejuice nodded.

"Okey." The conductor nodded: "Please pay attention to the time, the movie will start in 24 minutes, in theater 4."

After buying the tickets, Beetlejuice started the waiting process until after the admission time, he entered the No. 4 cinema hall.

Then I found out, well, the situation of this movie does not seem to be generally miserable.

Because there are few people in the large theater that can accommodate 480 people.

There are not many people at all!

Roughly counting, maybe including him, there are only six or seven!

"Okay, it seems that I mistrusted the clerk, this is another blockbuster movie." Beetlejuice suddenly felt disappointed.

There must be a reason for the lack of people, either movie garbage or movie garbage, or movie garbage.

There is no fourth possibility.

But who let him have already bought a ticket?

So just watch it.

Beetlejuice sat on the seat bored, waiting for the opening of the movie.

Coincidentally, there was someone next to him.

It was a strange-looking person who came to the movies without popcorn, but with a stack of materials, notebooks and pens.

Chapter 211 Death Game (2)

Bryant is a street movie critic...at least for now, that is the case.

As a film critic, it is easy to get a job in North America, a place with a well-developed film and television industry, but correspondingly, it is also difficult to get a job because the competition here is too great.

The film critics here can be said to be like crucian carp crossing the river. Everyone walks a single-plank bridge with millions of troops, and there are only a handful of people who can finally get a meal in this industry.

As for the rest, they were killed by other victors who ate.

Once upon a time, Bryant was able to maintain his status in the circle. Although he was not a top-notch well-known film critic, he could at least earn enough food and clothing, and he could pay off his credit card every month.

But recently, he has encountered some things around him, coupled with the run on by some peers, and he has not written a film review with enough weight for a long time, which makes his situation very difficult.

If he can't write a quality and even film review, he may be at risk of being fired by the magazine he is currently signing, and then withdraw from this circle sadly.

However, for a small film critic like him, how easy is it to write a hit film review?

In itself, he doesn't have a fan base, and no one knows his existence. Naturally, if he publishes a film review, he won't be waiting to be watched by a group of fans like those well-known film critics.

In particular, few studios would invite him to a movie premiere.

This makes it necessary for him to buy tickets at his own expense to see new movies, and then write film reviews.

But it is conceivable that for those well-known movies that received a lot of attention, it can be said that it is hard to get a ticket for the premiere, and he never got one.

Therefore, he can only buy those small films, even films imported from abroad, and watch the premieres of these films.

However, the quality of these films imported from abroad is uneven, and it is not at the same level as the overall production level of Hollywood.

It can be said to be looking for gold in the garbage dump, which can be called hell mode.

Yes, Bryant also has this kind of thinking mode, thinking that Hollywood is more than everything.

But who left him no choice?

And the "Chain Saw" to watch now is the first movie he wants to evaluate.

However, if you forgive him, you don't have any sense of expectation. He just relies on his public instinct to force himself into it.

He didn't even realize that there was another person sitting next to him.

Forgive me for the fact that the theater is too quiet, there are not many people at all, once the lights of the theater are turned off, it will be really ineffective, and there are not even a few people.

Soon, the movie begins.

The theater lights dimmed in due time.

In the next second, an opening title appeared on the huge screen.

Children running on the beach, and then a golden logo appears.

Golden Studio.

It is Hanxia characters, square and upright.

The next title that appeared was a gorgeous aurora intertwined into several large characters, Guangyuan Media.

No more, just these two titles.

A strange green light intertwined, matched with the creepy background music like the roar of zombies, I don't know what kind of musical instrument from the underworld can play this sound.

The words of the title of the film are wrapped with angular wires.

Feature film begins.

The light was extremely dim, with only the faint light that a flashlight could emit, illuminating a man's face.

But this man seems to be in the water at the moment, and the background sound is also the feeling of the muffled sound of water flowing in the water.

This feeling is very suffocating, especially in this kind of dark and empty theater with few people.

In addition, the air-conditioning in the movie hall was fully turned on, and the swishing air-conditioning rushed towards the face.

This makes Bryant feel suffocated, especially when he thinks that this is a thriller, he has an inexplicable sense of excitement and panic about anything that will happen next.

No one knows what will happen next.
