[Rebirth] King of Theater

Wilkins continued to promote his Cleopatra.

What's more interesting is that he has been promoting it for more than a month, but there is still no actual content coming out. No one knows what the hell he is up to, but it has been delayed for so long that... he even encouraged Al to go up Those who fought with him are too lazy to continue to pay attention to this matter now.

As a result, the content of everyone's chats gradually changed from [Wilkins' "Cleopatra" is really menacing] to [I heard that the XX poet secretly bought a house for his lover behind his back. ] This is obviously a topic of gossip when you are full.

Compared with these people, Al is obviously in a happy mood and writing smoothly.

His food column is getting bigger and bigger, though the food world doesn't seem to be admitting it (what? You mean Alfred Sylvie? No, no, he's not a foodie, he's just a comedy writer who tells jokes).But the readers like it very much, the rich and fresh atmosphere of life, the down-to-earth reviews of various restaurants, and the "I will write you into the recipe if I am not happy" is a stroke of genius, which makes everyone unable to stop watching get up...

Later, when a reader recalled this time, he even said directly:

[Actually, I don’t see food at all, I just want to see what Al said today. ]

Due to its popularity, after the original author responsible for this gourmet column recovered from illness, the newspaper office hesitated kindly whether to return the column to the original author.In the end, Al voluntarily returned it, and discussed with the person in charge of the newspaper to reopen a column: "After all, I can't be considered a professional food writer, and professional ones should be handed over to professional ones. As for me, if I don't mind, maybe I can open a column What do you think of the 'eclipse-related' column?"

The newspaper was clearly unwilling to part with a popular author, so it was quick to agree.

It was also at this time that Al finally jumped from the status of a 'substitute' columnist to a full-time columnist, and more letters of invitation for contributions were sent in one after another.

On the other side, Vincent's movie was also released.

Before the release, the Bright director told Al very frankly: "There is a lack of publicity, because the production company is not particularly optimistic about Vincent, because as a horror film, it is neither bloody nor violent..."

When he said this, the director couldn't help but made a disgusted expression: "I'm afraid these idiots didn't watch the movie I made at all. Who said that if it's not bloody or violent, it won't scare people to pee their pants? Etc. Let's see, maybe it won't make a lot of money, but I think we can't go wrong with this movie."

Thus, the movie "Vincent-Because of the Head..." quietly appeared in the midnight show.

At that time, many horror films did not need special promotion (of course, the effect would be better if they were publicized), they were all played at midnight shows, and they had a fixed audience who liked thrills.

Randy asks Al to watch the movie with him before the official release.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation: "Don't you want to see us appear on the big screen together?"

"To be honest, I don't really want to."

Al replied honestly: "Think about it, the ending is that you cut off my head! God, what a terrible death! I really have no interest in this kind of unfortunate scene."

"But this is the only way to enjoy yourself, to be crazy about love."

"Nonsense, have you forgotten that I wrote the script? Vincent has no love line, thank you."

"Okay, let's go! Come with me!"

Randy behaved like a child asking for a Christmas gift, and because he had spent a whole year being obedient and sensible to be a good boy, he was extremely urgent and pitiful, so, no matter how hard-hearted his parents were to him, It's hard to say the P words that Santa Claus doesn't exist at all.

Al agreed.

Moreover, he was fully prepared, came to the movie theater early, bought two movie tickets in advance, bought popcorn and Coke, and then, like a fool boy on a first date, stood at the door of the movie theater and waited for 10 minutes. After the other party arrived, he lied casually without complaint: "It didn't take long, only for a while."

Please!

Your popcorn is getting cold, baby!

Randy couldn't help looking at him, not wanting to miss a look on his face, a gesture in his hands.

Then, he was so happy that his whole body was light, as if he was about to fly to the sky at any time, and he thought over and over in his heart: "If it weren't for the people around, I would just want to kiss him faintly right now."

But unfortunately, there is no shortage of night owls in any age.

It was already midnight, but there was still a lot of people around.

In particular, what surprised the two of them was...

There was a long line gradually forming at the ticket booth of the movie theater.

Al rejoiced that he came early and bought tickets early, and said curiously, "There are so many people wanting to see it?"

Randy was very relieved: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm really afraid that the acting is not good, I'm sorry for your script."

"Actually, I didn't expect that people would like to spend money to scare themselves."

"You think about all the popular haunted houses."

While chatting, the two walked towards the theater.

Although it's a bit strange for two men to go to the movies together, it doesn't seem strange if they watch a horror movie together with the courage of each other, and, out of "afraid of being found out that they are the actors of the movie", They also do some 'hat and glasses' camouflage, so there's no need to worry about being noticed.

When it was time to watch the movie, Vincent was greeted with a...

scolding!

Yes.

Many of the audience watching the midnight show are generally male audiences who love blood and violence.

This group of people may have originally hoped for a hearty massacre, preferably severed limbs, and some spewing blood, so as to vent their bad emotions.

But what happened?They ushered in a crying, weak and pitiful student hero who was bullied by the school!

what?

This student hero looks good-looking?

Be sober, everyone is not here to watch idol dramas, good-looking has a P use!

As a result, many spectators present thought they had been deceived.

At this time, a strong man sitting next to Al and Randy was still chewing popcorn fiercely, cursing in dissatisfaction with the film: "Damn it, fuck him, weak chicken! Fight back, fight back!"

Al couldn't help but glanced at Randy with a smile, and asked quietly, "How does it feel to be scolded as a coward?"

Randy thought for a while: "I don't feel it, it's Vincent who scolded me."

However, Vincent in the film unfortunately failed to live up to the expectations of this strong man.

He just hugged his head tremblingly on the screen.

This disappointed most of the normal audience in the theater, including the strong man.

But because they want to see 'how useless this person can be' and 'what will happen in the future, will they be bullied to death, or will they stand up and resist', none of them chose to leave for the time being.

Of course, there are also some abnormal audiences.

These people are completely on the side of the bully. Whenever Vincent is beaten, they will yell 'good fight', or pretend to be very strong, and comment on it. An unmanly sissy deserves to be beaten to death'.

It is conceivable that this group of people should be more stimulated later than the former.

In this atmosphere, the plot gradually ushered in a turning point—the appearance of a human head.

The students thought Vincent was the hidden killer.

Fearing Vincent's revenge, they begged for mercy.

Obviously it is a very absurd plot, but the movie is shot extremely meticulously and seriously.

For example, there is a scene where a student breaks his own arm with a stone, over and over, to beg forgiveness.

Vincent pretended to be expressionless, but actually walked forward with fear in his heart.

The student dragged his broken arm, bleeding, and chased after him desperately. He cried a lot of snot and tears, howling on the screen...

There was no sound in the theater.

Al noticed that the strong man beside him could no longer eat the popcorn, and his face turned pale instead.

Director Brett used music and video to make Vincent extremely ghastly, and Randy's acting skills did not drop much.

Vincent began to frequently appear in front of and behind the students who had bullied him. He wanted to clear up the past with everyone and get back together, but the small noise in the music concealed uneasiness, and the students looked at him His frightened eyes are sometimes facing the camera, so if there is substance, it will give people a feeling of real fear.

Suppress, suppress, keep suppressing.

Every character presents an extremely morbid feeling, from bullying people unscrupulously at the beginning, to being inexplicably fearful later, even going over to curry favor at the expense of self-mutilation, all of them are insane...

"Is this a lunatic asylum?"

The burly man next to Al and Randy couldn't help muttering to himself.

The rivalry between Vincent and the students is still going on.

The students gradually became more and more tense, more and more tense, trembling all the time, and were startled by Vincent's sudden appearance from time to time.

As a result, screams began to sound continuously in the theater.

Al was not frightened by the plot he wrote, nor by the depressive scenes shot by director Brett, nor by the horrible soundtrack. In the end... he was frightened by these 'who knows when will suddenly pop up' Screaming' scared: "Damn, what's so scary about this, can you please stop screaming."

Randy took advantage of the dim light of the screen to watch it quietly, very pleased with it.

He also took the opportunity to lean over and whispered: "If you are afraid, lean against me, I will hold you."

"I am afraid?"

Al immediately sat up straight and explained in a low voice: "I'm not afraid. I wrote this. What's so scary about me? I'm just not used to these...these screams one after another."

Randy immediately changed his words and whispered, "Actually, I'm scared."

He deliberately put his face in front of Al: "Look, my face turned pale with fright."

"Yes, yes...it's quite white." Al looked at his pretty face up close, and stammered a bit.

But that's really no different from Miss Grace pointing to his green eyes and saying 'Your eyes are green'.

But human beings just like to lie to themselves so much.

Al finally leaned over slowly: "Why are you so timid? There is nothing to be afraid of the movie you star in."

"Oh, I don't want to, but...it's really scary. Let me hug you, I'm scared to death."

"Okay, if you're afraid, hold me tight."

The two of them watched the whole movie together, but it is estimated that neither of them paid any attention to what the movie was about.

Moreover, no one in the theater would care about their hug.

Because when Vincent finally decided to kill with a knife...

The audience was already shivering like quails in fright, and there were not a few people who hugged each other.

After the follow-up, the blackened Vincent squatted there and beheaded the head seriously, holding the head towards the camera and smiling at everyone...

This scene is probably enough to scare many people into nightmares for several nights in a row.

When the lights came back on, the brawny elder brother next to him had long since lost his bold words, and turned his head slowly with a genuinely pale face...

He maintained his expression of the rest of his life, and forced a smile towards Al and the others, probably for the purpose of relieving tension, and sighed casually: "Really, I didn't expect it! This movie is not very bloody. , but it's really scary."

Al and Randy quickly separated with a guilty conscience.

Then, both of them raised their heads together, and said repeatedly: "Yes, it's quite scary." "Fortunately, the two of us have company."

Who knows!

The big brother of the strong man stared blankly at them, the smile on his face froze little by little, and then became stiff.

Then, his teeth chattered, as if his bones were vibrating violently, he jumped up suddenly, and after turning around, he screamed "Ah-Wen, Vincent" and started to run forward desperately, as if It was like seeing a ghost.

"are you crazy!"

"What is it called? The movie is over!"

"Stupid!"

"Scared you crazy!"

There was a burst of shouting and cursing in the theater.

Apparently, many people who were just in shock were terrified by the big brother's voice.

Al and Randy looked at each other.

After a while, the two of them realized that the uncle regarded them as "Vincent and the little friend who was hacked to death by Vincent" in the movie.

Come to think of it, just watched a horror movie and thought it was all over.

Then, the lights in the theater were brightly lit, and I chatted casually with the surrounding audience in the mood of seeking comfort, but when I looked up, I found that the person speaking in front of me was actually the leading actor in a horror movie, what kind of 'surprise' would that be?

Al looked at the back of the burly brother running wildly, and couldn't help saying distressedly: "What a poor guy."

Randy added empathetically, "God bless him."
