"I don't know what they're thinking about releasing "This Man is from Earth". ”

Zhou Chen looked at the tall man in a straight suit and a beard, but he couldn't be happy.

It doesn't make much sense just to take a look.

"It doesn't matter, hasn't Mr. Ram already applied for the Venice Film Festival, and after the film festival ends next month, it's not too late for us to consider the release. ”

Zhang Kejia said optimistically.

"But I have to go back to China at the end of the month. Zhou Chen said a little helplessly.

"It's okay, if the movie is released, you can get a new work visa. ”

"Hehe, that's not necessarily, I guess I won't be able to get a visa next time. Zhou Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

For the sake of movie promotion, what he did, and the anger of fans in the United States to know the truth in the future, he was very skeptical that he would be blacklisted at that time.

But thinking that he didn't mark the director's name in this movie, but the three actors, no one should pay attention to him, Zhou Chen relaxed again.

Before the three-o'clock movie screening, another filmmaker came, just enough for ten film companies.

Zhou Chen and the others did not delay much.

Everyone's time is precious, and the information sent before has already introduced the situation of the movie, and now it is the most important thing to watch the feature film.

The movie begins with the camera turned on, and three film school students, Ellie, Joe, and Green, are videotaping, each of them recording a passage into the camera.

It is stated that they will be leaving for the town of Mono to film a documentary about the witch Elsa.

This is the typical way of opening a documentary, explaining the cause of the story.

Then it is to show the youthful vitality and ambition of the three protagonists, and follow the shaky shots, so that the audience will naturally follow the three protagonists to continue to devote themselves.

As the three protagonists arrive outside the town of Morno and see the eerie cemetery outside the town, the plot begins to unfold and the atmosphere of horror envelops it.

The legend of the witch is also mentioned by the spooky old woman who suddenly appears in the town in the evening, and by local residents who are in supermarkets and bars at night.

The next day, the three protagonists begin interviewing more local residents, and various things about witches are more detailed and rich.

The audience begins to doubt the three protagonists, and there are legends about believing in these witches.

On the third day, the protagonists leave the town and enter the dark jungle of the Mono Valley, where they search for the traces of the witches based on the information they have been interviewed.

But within half a day, the three of them got lost in the mountains and forests.

Ellie with the map is questioned for not knowing the way, and the map is taken by Joe, but he loses the map, and then after the witch's mysterious stone mill appears, the three of them get lost in the forest, go around and around, and finally return to the same place.

The three of them wanted to use their mobile phones to connect to other places, but found that their mobile phones had no signal since they got lost.

This terrible situation, which keeps returning to one place and can't get out of it, makes the three protagonists collapse, and they blame each other and almost start to do it.

The moviegoers in the screening hall were also affected by this emotion and felt a little frightened.

In the end, the three of them had no choice but to stop and rest, and camped in the wild overnight.

That night, I heard all kinds of strange sounds in the tent, the crying of babies, and the screaming of babies.

When they got up on the morning of the fourth day, they found three more neat stone moths outside the tent.

At this point in the movie, everyone started to get nervous.

Previously, local residents said that each stone moth represents a person's grave, indicating that a person is about to die.

The three protagonists are even more frightened, and they want to return, but they find seven stone stools in a row.

Legend has it that these represent the seven children who died, and the three protagonists are even more angry, complaining and blaming each other, but they still can't get out of the valley and forest.

That night, they spent the night in the forest again, and heard more and more strange sounds in the tent, and the tent shook inexplicably in the middle of the night.

When they screamed and went out to check, they found that there was nothing, which was extremely devastating.

When this scene was filmed, Zhou Chen didn't tell the three leading actors, so their performances were completely real reactions, which was also a great shock to the moviegoers.

At noon on the fifth day, the three of them continued to walk around the forest, but found that they had come to an abandoned mining area surrounded by dilapidated houses.

This is a small gold mine that was once abandoned.

It also reminded them of what old Fulin had said more than seventy years ago, when a madman looking for gold had said that he had been instructed by a witch to kill someone.

More and more traces show that what he said is true, that the witch controlled him to kill the seven children, each of which represented a child.

Now there are three extra stones, which means that the witch will take their lives.

The three protagonists are so frightened that they don't dare to take a step forward, and they all want to escape from here, but they find that they can't escape by spinning around in the jungle again.

Once again, they walked to the ruined mines.

That night they spent the night in a large area of houses abandoned by the absentees.

The strange noises were clearer and clearer, and they all seemed to come from a large kitchen with a miner's door, only to find no people or animals inside.

The three of them hadn't rested for several days in a row, and they regretted the filming of the witch documentary.

Their fate also seems to be moving towards death step by step, affecting all those present to watch the movie.

At noon on the sixth day, they walked out of the mine, only to find a strange straw man in the trees at the foot of the mountain, and then Joe disappeared, and he just went to relieve himself, and then he disappeared amid the screams and struggles.

There is no footage of Joe in the movie, but those screams of fear suggest that he must have met with misfortune.

The rest of the Ellie and Green searched around and found a mass of shards of clothing wrapped in twigs, all of which were Joe's, and among them were bloodstains and broken entrails.

Ellie and Green fall apart, knowing that it is their fate, but the mysterious witch sees nothing.

"I just want to apologize, to Gran's mother, Joe's mother, and my mother, I'm sorry to everyone, I'm so naïve, I'm really, really sorry for everything that happened to the other person......"

Ellie's snot and tears are flowing in front of the camera, and the close-up facial expressions are empathetic.

In the face of death, her confession, which is like a last word, all reveal that she is completely desperate.

The viewers present felt that this movie was too real in the progressive creation of a terrifying atmosphere.

It's really like making a documentary and encountering a mysterious witch.

They professional filmmakers have watched I don't know how many horror movies, and they all feel like this, let alone ordinary audiences.

Eventually, Ellie and Green set out to find Joe, and before they knew it, they came to a tall abandoned mine.

The walls of the pit at the entrance to the pit are covered with children's handprints and footprints, as well as strange characters.

Green was still looking for Joe, but when Ellie saw all this, she became even more desperate, and the two of them looked forward in fear.

Suddenly, Green was silent.

Ellie went to Green with a shaky camera, only to see him standing motionless in the corner of the room, head down, facing the wall, with his back to her.

No matter how much she shouted, Green didn't respond.

Suddenly, with Ellie's scream, the camera fell to the ground, and the camera was staring at the uneven wall, empty.

Green was gone, and Ellie's voice was gone, save for the subtle rustle of the camera.

The hearts of all the moviegoers of the various studios were raised in their throats, ready for the sudden appearance of the horror witch on camera.

But that's it, it rustled for 5 seconds, and the screen suddenly went black, all of which was an exclamation.

At this point, the whole movie ends, but it doesn't wait for the mysterious witch to show a little.

This is the end of the 90-minute movie.

The mysterious and terrifying witch in the film never even shows a shadow, even a bloody scene, not even a witch's voice.

The whole process is a documentary made by the three leading actors, their interactions, interviews with the residents of the town.

At the moment, the filmmakers who are sitting quietly are still a little unreminiscent, but they all feel a little indescribable.

It's too real, did those three documentary-making students really die because of the documentary?

This kind of invisible, but very real fear, compared to the various bloody horror scenes that are used to it, makes people always keep looking forward to it, keep imagining, keep guessing, and focus on following the three protagonists.

This sense of substitution is really strong, and this is the best thing about this movie.

As the lights in the screening hall turned on, the filmmakers finally came back to their senses.

Looking at Zhou Chen and the others who came over to shake hands with them one by one and thanked them one by one, several people's eyes lit up.
