Chapter 68: Emergencies

……

"Alright, we're here!"

Seeing the restaurant that had appeared in sight, Guo Shouyun found a parking space and parked the car on the side of the road.

The two had dinner together, chatted a little about business and private matters, and came to a movie theater owned by AMC at 7 p.m.

Although AMC is the leader of the American cinema industry and has led the multi-screen revolution, from the perspective of Guo Shouyun's later generations, this theater located in the bustling area of San Francisco is too poor in terms of decoration and service. In the past 19 years in China, the cinema hall of any third-tier city is more reasonable and modern than here in terms of decoration design and circulation planning. However, it is understandable, after all, the building age of this theater is the nineties of the last century. At that time, the design and service concept were too different from the future.

In order to keep in shape, Wendy Solo declined Guo Shouyun's offer to buy popcorn. Since she didn't eat it, Guo Shouyun, who was already indifferent to it, of course didn't buy it. The latter two asked for two bottles of mineral water, found two seats in the rest area and sat down.

"Is that a poster designed by the company, and it looks like it fits the atmosphere of "Smart: Ghost Record"!"

Wendy pointed to the poster displayed on the roll-up banner not far away.

Guo Shouyun looked at a man and a woman holding a flashlight in the poster, his face full of panic and fear, and a faint ghost shadow appeared in the dark night around them and behind them. This hazy treatment, coupled with the name of the movie dripping with blood in the last volume of SH Newspaper, and the expressions on the faces of the heroes and heroines, completely express the eerie and terrifying atmosphere of the film vividly, making people scared at a glance, and a little curious in addition to being afraid, attracting them to buy tickets to watch!

"Not bad, right?"

Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Guo Shouyun with a smile on his face, "It can't be designed by you, right?"

"Of course! As the author of a novel, I naturally know what kind of scene best grabs the reader, and I almost forgot that it is the fear and curiosity of the moviegoer!"

In fact, there is another point that Guo Shouyun didn't say, he has seen too much about the poster design of horror movies in later generations. With a lot of templates stored in your head, it's easy to design a good enough poster.

"At 7:30 p.m., the screening of "Spirit: Ghost Shadow" in Hall 3 is about to start, please start checking in now for the audience who bought tickets...!"

"Let's go, it's time to start!"

Wendy Solo nodded, and as Guo Shouyun stood up, the two walked towards the movie screening hall together.

This AMC theater is only five screens, and Hall 3 is not difficult to find. Because Guo Shouyun is used to buying seats in the back, this time it will be the same. The two sat in the back row.

"I didn't expect there to be a lot of people coming to see it!"

When the lights dimmed, Wendy couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the nearly 60% occupancy in the auditorium.

"Of course, I've sold 1.54 million copies of my Spirit: Ghost Story, and if only half of them make it to the theater, we'll be able to recoup the cost." The rest of the international market, the revenue generated from the sale of DVDs and videotapes, as well as television screenings, etc., is purely profitable. ”

Glancing at him, Wendy smiled happily: "So Matrix Pictures is about to get off to a 'good start'?"

"Do you still know about 'good starts'?"

"I know a lot!"

Wendy wrinkled her nose at Guo Shouyun delicately, she was shown in front of people with her noble elegance and gentle intellectuality, and she actually saw more of a girl's coquettishness at this time, which was a change that surprised Guo Shouyun.

"Look, the movie begins!"

Wendy Solo, who was a little uncomfortable with his eyes, hurriedly said.

Nodding, Guo Shouyun took one last look at her and turned his attention to the big screen. Seeing this, Wendy also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she has been teaching herself Chinese recently, but she doesn't want Guo Shouyun to know yet. What she wants is to really wait for herself to master it before giving the other party a surprise.

Thinking of Guo Shouyun's jaw-dropping surprised expression when facing this situation, Wendy was full of anticipation, and her heart burst out with more enthusiasm for learning Chinese.

As the music came to mind, countless small squares suddenly appeared on the screen in the middle of the theater, and then these small squares quickly changed and merged into a large Rubik's Cube, and after a few seconds of rapid rotation of the Rubik's Cube, the English of Matrix Pictures appeared on the screen. This logo is also Guo Shouyun's design, and it seems to be pretty good at present.

Next is the list of main creators, compared to "Smart" 8 years later, both the director and the actors are completely different. However, with more investment and the training of Wen Ziren, a talented horror master, the level of this "Smart: Ghost Shadow" surpasses the version 8 years later.

Soon, the movie began. The newlywed hero and heroine move into the country villa of their dreams. At first, the plot was very relaxed, but at midnight, when the strange sound passed through the speakers, and the scene carefully prepared by Wen Ziren appeared in front of everyone's eyes, no matter who it was, it would feel cold in their hearts, and then goosebumps would arise.

Because he has watched the relationship many times, although Guo Shouyun will have some emotional ups and downs with the plot of the movie, he doesn't feel how scared. But the first time I saw Wendy Solow, I didn't think so.

"Huh?"

Guo Shouyun, who suddenly felt strange, looked down and saw that his left hand, which he had placed on the armrest of the seat, was suddenly tightly grasped by Wendy's right hand.

looked up, and sure enough, a beautiful face that was full of nervousness and fear at this time, but his eyes were still reluctant to leave the screen, appeared in Guo Shouyun's eyes.

Seeing her like this, Guo Shouyun smiled and didn't say anything to comfort her. It's just that the backhand took the initiative to hold the beautiful woman's trembling left hand.

Feeling the sudden warmth and the power coming from it, Wendy was stunned for a moment, then looked at her tightly held left hand, and then looked at the tall and sturdy man beside her, an unprecedented sense of security made her quickly forget her previous fear greatly diminished.

However, the further the plot of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" progresses, the more tense and terrifying the atmosphere becomes, especially on the 21st night, after the heroine "sleepwalks" downstairs, the male protagonist chases down, only to hear the heroine screaming downstairs, and then suddenly there is no sound. After a long time, the movie screen suddenly showed a black staircase, and the atmosphere of tension and fear was completely pushed to a climax by this foreshadowing as the sound of stepping on the wooden floor going upstairs became clearer and clearer.

The screams, which have never stopped during the screening of the film, have reached their climax at this time. Wendy Solo even plunged into Guo Shouyun's arms. However, limited to the atmosphere, he didn't have the happiness of nephrite fragrance at all at this time.

Just as Guo Shouyun was staring at the movie screen tightly, a person who was originally sitting in front of him suddenly fell crooked, and his body slipped to the ground.

"Are you alright, sir?"

The sudden abnormality and worried voices attracted the attention of the people around them.

Through the faint light of the mobile phone screen, everyone saw that the person who fell to the ground was a middle-aged Mexican-American man in his 40s wearing a blue and white plaid shirt.

"I'm a nurse at Calf Hospital, and this gentleman is supposed to have a heart attack. A young girl in a pink coat said quickly.

"Is there anything we can do to help? I've already fought 9/11. Guo Shouyun said quickly.

"Please help carry him outside, this gentleman needs CPR!"

After glancing at him, the young girl said quickly.

Guo Shouyun nodded, beckoned the people around him, and everyone carried the people to the spacious place in front of them. Watch as the young nurse performs CPR on the other side. At this time, the theater staff also turned on the lights in the theater when they heard the news.

After about a minute, the young female nurse wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and smiled: "Okay, his breathing has stabilized." Everyone, who still has water?"

"I've got it here!"

Wendy hurriedly handed over the bottle of mineral water that she hadn't finished drinking.

The young girl nodded, took out some cardiac medicine from the patient's pocket, and asked everyone to help each other take it.

About six or seven minutes later, the hospital's ambulance also arrived. The group helped to carry the patient who had stabilized and then dispersed.

"Bruce, should we go?"

Looking at Guo Shouyun, who was still staring directly at the direction of the ambulance's departure, with a look on his face that seemed to be frozen, Wendy Solo greeted with a little surprise.

"Wendy, call Buddy immediately and ask him to inform the people in the marketing department that they must all arrive at the company within an hour, and anyone who is not present after receiving the notice will be fired directly!"

Although it was not clear why Guo Shouyun did this, looking at his expression, Wendy still faithfully shut up and quickly carried out his order.

"Let's go, let's go to the airport!"

"The airport?now?"

"Yes, let's go to Los Angeles!" Guo Shouyun said with excitement in his eyes.

Looking at him with passion at the moment, Wendy Solo opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything.

Air traffic in the United States is convenient, plus San Francisco and Los Angeles are not too far apart. Guo Shouyun chartered a small business jet and spent more than an hour at the office of Santa Monica Matrix Pictures.
