[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 27

That's right, in fact, everything from what happened on Facebook to the appearance of a website to apply for movie theaters to play DV movies was all planned by Fopper.

The ones that have not been obtained are always the best, and since the curiosity has been hooked, most people will of course choose to take a look.Even if some people feel wrong, but in the context of the general trend, it is still insignificant.

So just like that, when the release date was set on August 15th, the number of movie theaters displayed on the website had already reached [-].

We must know that the current time is mid-August, and in a sense, it happens to be the busiest time of summer vacation, and at this time, there are 300 movie theaters playing "Spiritual: Ghost Story" which is considered very good.You know, at the beginning, Lionsgate Films arranged only more than 100 theaters.And more than [-] more were all affected because of the website.

On the day of NO.15 in August, many young people also walked into the cinema, ready to watch what Smith filmed.Of course Bolt was one of them. In fact, on the morning of August 15th, he made an appointment with the goddess Annie, who had already gotten a date, and went to a movie theater marked on the website that would play DV.

"I have to say that this promotional technique is really good." Bolt said while entering the movie theater with Annie.As a top student in management at Harvard University, even if he didn't figure it out at first, it was enough for him to figure it out after such a long time.But this does not hinder his interest in movies.

"You're the one who talks a lot, and your analysis is clear and logical, and you've lost any sense of mystery." Annie rolled her eyes, and opened her mouth to Bolt as she got into a seat in the movie theater.

"Ahaha..." Bolt could only laugh dryly at this time.

While the two of them were talking, the lights in the theater slowly dimmed.At this time, the movie hall was very quiet, and the audience was all looking at the big screen in front of them.

I saw that after the unfamiliar logo was released on the screen, the more familiar Lionsgate logo appeared again. After these two appeared, the big screen became dark.

"There is a logo of the film company..." The audience in the cinema seemed to feel that they were cheated.

But they didn't have much time to think about it, because immediately after the film company logo appeared, a person appeared on the big screen. He took a selfie with the camera and said with a smile: "Hi everyone, I'm Smith ! This is the new home for me and my friends!" In the shot, it is the missing Smith who is known to most people in the movie theater now.

"In fact, this new home is very special, because it is Defoe's haunted house..." After speaking, Smith recounted all the deeds of Defoe's haunted house.

On the screen, Smith walks around the apartment with a DV player in one hand, filming the kitchen, bedroom and other places of his and his roommate Jax's new home, introducing with a cheerful tone.

"Oh...it looks like this house is not bad!" Although the content of the movie is A. The image quality of the V level is poor, and the person in charge of the camera is not so full of camera sense, but when the camera shakes, people can still see the composition of the house clearly.

"There is no horror as imagined..." Many people were muttering.In fact, it is also the case. After a few hands, the original scary Defoe haunted house has now become a sunny furniture villa.If it didn't have such a mysterious background story, it would have to be given the title of the warmest house.However, the current thinking of movie audiences is slowly being subverted.

It was very normal at the beginning, but after only three days, everything started to be abnormal.Jax always felt that inexplicable screams accompanied him in the middle of the night, making it difficult for him to sleep.What's even more frightening is that Smith seems to have encountered a ghost in a dream.And also told him the terrible news that his roommate may have been uppered.So Smith, who didn't believe this, decided to turn on the camera even when he was sleeping, and then record everything.

At the end of the movie, there are more and more scary places. After seeing Jax's expression in the mirror, the audience felt their scalps go numb.In the dimly lit projection room of the movie theater, only the big screen had a little light atmosphere, coupled with the sound of the movie, the oppressive environment almost made their nervous hearts stop beating.

As Jax's behavior became more and more weird, and the content recorded on the DV became more and more weird, it seemed that Jax had been possessed by ghosts.

"My God! He must have been bent over by a ghost!"

"Smith should get out of here quickly!"

The audience was worried about the photographer of the DV, and when they thought of the news that Smith hadn't appeared yet, their hearts sank.

Time passed slowly, and the movie was coming to the end. Of course, these audiences didn't know that they had already been in the shooting story of DV.

In the middle of the night, Jax woke up suddenly, and then sat alone on the bed, looking at the DV camera thoughtfully.Suddenly, he jumped up, and then rushed straight to the camera.The camera captured a man with a hideous face and a strange expression.On one side of him was Smith, who was still fast asleep.At this moment, the camera stopped turning, and the entire space became deadly silent...

After the movie theater was quiet for a while, a loud noise suddenly broke out.

"my Lord!"

"My God!"

"Oh!"

Almost all the audience were frightened by this sudden shot.In fact, they were scared a lot today, but the last moment almost made their hearts jump out. Jax in the camera looked like he saw them through the camera. His expression and eyes made them feel like In an instant, I was too scared to move, as if I didn't even have the courage to speak.

On the other side, the movie screen changed again.

Director: James Win

Screenwriter: Fopper

……

A piece of information leaked out, making people understand that this is a movie, not real.But even so, what the movie just showed was too real.

"... Didn't you write the protagonist's information just now..." A person suddenly asked his companion.

"It doesn't seem to be there, maybe I forgot." The other person thought for a while, and then said.

"Will the film company forget this kind of thing? Tell me, could it be because...we already know the name of the protagonist. And if you want to release this kind of thing, you must name the film company..." Having said that, the man fought a cold war.

"Please! Don't scare me!" Hearing what the man said, a person on the other side said, "I wasn't afraid at first, but after being analyzed by you, my chills came back."

"That's right." The audience who heard the man's words said this one after another.

And there are so many people who pretend to be smart like this, so another chill spreads in people's hearts.

The person people believe in the most is always themselves, and most of the things they reason and believe will not be shaken when there is no conclusive evidence.Therefore, the saying that "Spirit: Ghost Story" is true has also become popular...

"It's crazy! Oh my God! It scared me to death in the end, my God, are there really ghosts in this world?"

"This is the scariest thing I've ever seen, damn it! I regret coming here now, I think I won't be able to sleep, I'll have nightmares when I fall asleep, will ghosts come out, please my family Live near New York Avenue."

"I feel like my whole body is under control, which is too scary."

All kinds of news came out from the audience, which also made "Spiritual: Ghost Story" more and more famous.And audiences in other regions are also curious about "Spiritual: Ghost Records", and want to watch this DV video one after another.Yes, DV video, no one calls it a movie now, because most people think this DV is real.

On the second day, the number of movie theaters played increased from 150 to 500, and then became 900 on the third day.And the movie's box office also changed from $[-] million on the first day to $[-] million on the second day to $[-] million on the third day!

You know, the current time period is the most popular summer vacation time. It is unimaginable that "Smart: Ghost Story" can achieve such a great popularity.

On the third day, the entertainment media also started to report "Spirit: Ghost Story" by coincidence.Knowing that the topic should be attractive, the media are of course fighting with each other for the sake of sales, so one said "Spirit: Ghost Story" is true, while the other said "Spirit: Ghost Story" is fake.All in all, it was too much to say, and of course, it also made their newspapers and magazines hot.

Against this background, after the eighth day of airing on August 22, "Spiritual Ghost Records" reached the top of the box office with 900 theaters and a box office of 5000 million U.S. dollars. box office champion.The box office on the first day was not counted because it was a Sunday.But if you count it, "Spirituality: Ghost Story", in just eight days, the box office exceeded [-] million US dollars!

Such a result would make any film company excited!
