Chapter 264: Halloween Horror Night

"Next up is Jan, watch out for him! He's a good storyteller. ”

The blue-purple lighting in the spacious box is blurred, and although the soundproofing effect is very good, you can still faintly hear some noise outside. Taking advantage of Halloween, Wang Yang also wanted to relax his busy nerves, so he was invited to join Zachary's party in a nightclub that he hadn't set foot in for a long time. Tonight's theme is Halloween makeup, of course, but not everyone is wearing heavy makeup and fancy dresses, maybe just wearing a horn.

Dancing and drinking are the eternal content of nightclubs, and if any fan recognizes that the tall man wearing a Monkey King Peking Opera mask and wearing a black leather coat is Magic Yang, then they will definitely exclaim, it turns out that the rumors are true! This guy's dancing skills are very good. However, the superstar on the dance floor is Jessica, who wears the mask of Zhu Bajie, and her professional-level hip-hop dancing skills and sexy and charming dancing postures make all the young people around her scream wildly.

So there were a lot of Zhu Bajie's accostings, and in the face of everyone, Jessica gave a left hand in response: "LOOK!" Seeing the ring on her ring finger, everyone walked away silently.

Wang Yang found that he really didn't feel like he was 17 or 18 years old, when he could be one of the masters of the whole party; The two left the hustle and bustle and returned to a relatively quiet box, where Zachary and Eileen, Joshua and Alexis in love, and several of Zachary's best friends.

"OK, it's my turn, but I'm urging to turn the lights off, it's so unatmosphere now. Wang Yang sat in the corner of the sofa with his arm around Jessica's shoulders, and when he saw that it was his turn to tell ghost stories, he got up with a smile and walked to the light switch. Soon the box became dim and dark, and everyone could see the surroundings clearly, but there was a strange atmosphere. Joshua on the couch pretended to be nervous and opened his hand: "He's coming, he's going to be scary again, be careful......"

"Hehe!" everyone chuckled, and Zachary laughed on the back of the sofa: "A few years ago, when I was in "Ghost Record", I would be startled when I looked in the mirror. Erin next to her spread her hands and said, "I really thought you were dead before." "Drinking and laughing in the box, as well as playing party games, and taking turns telling horror stories and ghost and demon stories on November 1 is a popular choice.

Almost all previous ghost stories were related to religion, possessed by demons, priests exorcized, old castles, and eerie vampires...... However, Zachary, Joshua and others did not have much effect, so that in the end everyone laughed and applauded, and the joy was not intimidating.

As soon as the lights in the box dimmed, Wang Yang was expressionless, returned to his position and sat down silently, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said lightly: "First of all, guys, I have to say that the next story is true." Joshua hurriedly asked, "Oh, Jan is on, it's his trick!" Zachary's friends Buckman, Sally, and Elaine all smiled curiously.

"I don't know. Jessica shrugged her shoulders thoughtlessly as if she were looking at her as if everyone was asking, she couldn't spoil his atmosphere. Joshua shook his head confidently, "Dude, it must be fake." Alexis pulled him and smiled helplessly, "Don't talk yet." Joshua suddenly shrank back and looked at Wang Yang with everyone as if he was remembering something.

"Okay, believe it or not, whatever you ......" Wang Yang slowly put down his wine glass, his face was full of indifference, telling ghost stories naturally requires skills, he thinks that such a form of narration without images and words depends on the atmosphere and the personal imagination of the listener, and the speaker needs to give them a high sense of substitution, just like a psychological horror movie, so that the audience can scare themselves. Otherwise, if there is no atmosphere, no sense of empathy, who would find it scary?

Fortunately, his storytelling ability has never been bad, and if you want to have a terrifying atmosphere, you must first be careful and serious.

"This is ......" glanced at the young faces, and finally stopped on the wine glass on the coffee table, Wang Yang said softly: "What happened when I was a child. Maybe this Halloween, in this atmospheric room, it's a good choice to share it with you guys. But do you really want to listen? OK, let me start with a question, which of you has ever had an out-of-body experience?"

"I had it once. "Me too, it's scary. ”…… Suddenly, Zachary, Erin, Jessica, and the others all raised their hands, and Joshua looked left and right, trying to raise his hand or put it down, and smiled at Ali who raised his hand, "Well, I've heard of it." ”

"Well, it's scary, isn't it?" Wang Yang still has a calm face, when the listener and the speaker have a common experience, they will subconsciously have more connections, substituting into the storyteller's story, which is a storytelling technique. He continued: "I've checked the information before, and this phenomenon is called sleep disorder in medicine, which is probably that your brain wakes up earlier than your body, and your muscles can't keep up with consciousness, so you will have that hazy and can't move pain. ”

Everyone nodded, and the scientific explanation of the ghost press bed made them gradually focused. At this time, he suddenly saw Wang Yang frowning in the dark light, and his voice was low and fast: "But is this true? Is it really that simple? There are too many things and mysteries in this world that our existing science cannot explain, so it is science if it is explained, and theology if it cannot be explained." Different religions have different opinions, your soul floats out, and the devil presses down on you to squeeze in and take your body......"

"It was 12 years old and it was a camping trip. ”

Wang Yang's explanation of the ghost press came to an abrupt end, leaving the audience with room for their own imagination and supplementing their own explanations. But they have been instructed that the ghost press is not a normal physical phenomenon, but is related to gods and demons. He made hand movements and described the camp: "You know that by the river, there are many big trees, and at night the leaves are blown by the wind and the river flows loudly......

Everyone had a camping experience, and the atmosphere gradually became thicker. Jessica naturally leaned closer to Wang Yang, and several couples such as Erin and Joshua also sat closer, and the ghost stories of the whole night were not enough to be mysterious and depressing.

"I was sleeping in a tent, I was out of my body! I was lying on the ground, I could see my surroundings, but I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe, my chest was so tight that I felt like I was dying......

Wang Yang covered his mouth and took a deep breath, shaking his head very unbearably. Jessica couldn't help but grab his arm, and the red-haired white girl Sally asked nervously, "And then?" Wang Yang twisted his neck very slowly and said, "Then my neck can move, uncontrollably moving, I slowly turned to the left, oh my God...... The tent, a floating head, hung there. ”

Everyone was a little creepy, and Wang Yang continued to speak in a deep voice unpleasantly: "It was a white man's face, a lot of beard, and he looked at me and laughed, laughed, laughed. He grabbed his hair in pain: "I'm scared, I'm very scared! But I can't move! I kept shouting for help, help, but I couldn't make a sound." The guy just kept laughing, and for about a minute, I didn't know, and he floated towards me, and I woke up. ”

After a pause, he immediately added, "I thought I was awake, but I didn't." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Jessica, confused, her hairs standing up. The others were also a little frightened by the dim and gloomy atmosphere, and Zachary let out a clear oh and asked, "You mean you're still dreaming?"

"Yes, I don't know if you've ever had a dream like that, it's weird. Wang Yang spread his hands, looked at them, and described: "You thought you were awake, got out of bed and went to the bathroom, drank a glass of milk, and suddenly someone rushed in and shot at you, and then you really woke up." Joshua immediately raised his hand and said, "I've done it, I've done it! It's amazing!" Ali, Zachary and several others also raised their hands, and Erin was a little unsure: "It seems to be, it seems to be ......" Jessica smiled: "I have it too!"

After that "wake-up", she ran outside the house and opened the mailbox, there was a letter from San Francisco, she was happy, but when she opened it and saw that the letter was all blank, she woke up. Jessica remembers this dream very clearly.

Wang Yang didn't wait for them to think too much, the atmosphere was to be controlled by him, and continued: "Dreams are actually layered, I don't know why, anyway, its structure is layer by layer, most people only have the experience of two layers of dreams, maybe forever stop at the first layer. Buckman, who had never dreamed in a dream, looked at them with a look of understanding, and suddenly felt a little envious, what was that feeling?

So I thought I was awake, oh, it was just a nightmare, and I ran out of the tent, and there was no one, but I was not surprised in the dream. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and waved his palms: "There was no one, I walked for a while, and in the woods, suddenly many people rushed out and grabbed me, they were all crazy people, and they wanted to tear me apart...... I woke up all at once! Joshua couldn't help but interject, "You're still dreaming?

In this terrifying atmosphere, everyone only felt more creepy.

Wang Yang nodded silently, sighed before saying, "In the tent, the body is the third layer, the forest is the second layer, and then I will return to the first layer." In fact, he did have three layers of dreams, which is also a personal record, from waking up from school to home and then to home. He was not in a hurry to talk about the scene on the first floor, his eyes scanned everyone steadily, giving them a sense of terror: "Guess what? It's dark and narrow, it's in a hole in the ground, and you can only crawl to a little light in front of you......"

He crawled forward with both hands, and everyone's brows were already furrowed, and they heard him say, "That bit of light turned out to be from a watch, tick-tick." There was no way to go, and I was about to turn around and crawl back, but when I turned my face sideways...... It's that man's smiling face!"

"Oh......" Everyone suddenly felt a torrent rushing by, and their scalps were numb and goosebumps all over their bodies. Joshua hurriedly looked back, and there was nothing in the darkness, and Zachary, Erin, Ali, and the others all looked around unnaturally, no! Jessica had already hugged Wang Yang's arm tightly and muttered, "The Lord is with us, the Lord is with us......"

Looking at everyone's reactions, Wang Yang couldn't help but smile, wiped his forehead and said, "That face woke me up all of a sudden, this time I really woke up, and I slept in the tent." Joshua gritted his teeth and asked, "So those ...... just now Are you talking about dreams?" Wang Yang shook his head and said, "I'm talking about reality." And guess what? I heard some voices from underground, tick-tick......"

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Later, the police found a body under the tent, which was on the TV news, it was a white man who had been missing for a long time, and it was that man, he was killed and buried there. ”

Another torrent rushed by, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they all felt stuck by a creepy and weird sense of horror, which was the feeling when watching "Ghost Shadows...... "Peng!" At this time, there was a sudden sound, the door of the box was opened, and the noise outside immediately rushed in, which was undoubtedly like the violent throwing of corpses at the end of "Ghost Shadows", which made everyone immersed in horror lose control.

"Oh my God, ahhβ€”β€”!h Jessica, who was most afraid of psychological horror, threw herself into Wang Yang's arms, and that man was coming.

"HELLO, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" THE BLUE-PURPLE LIGHTS WERE RESTORED TO THE BOX, AND SEVERAL OF ZACHARY'S YOUNG FRIENDS STOOD IN THE DOORWAY, ALL LOOKING CONFUSED AND FUNNY, ONLY TO SEE THAT EVERYONE ON THE SOFA WAS IN SHOCK. Zachary, Joshua and the others all protected their bodies with one hand and pulled their girlfriends with the other, only Wang Yang sat there normally, caressing his fiwife's shoulders and shrugging at them: "It's nothing." ”

"What's wrong with me, I'll let Wang Yang tell ghost stories!" Joshua exhaled repeatedly, and Zachary frowned, "What's wrong with me, listen to Wang Yang tell ghost stories......

Everyone looked at each other's frightened expressions, and they couldn't help laughing, and they drank their drinks to calm down. Sally smiled and praised: "Amazing Jan, I know why you don't make a horror movie, you really can't make it, it will scare people to death!" Erin looked at Jessica who was laughing happily helplessly, and said, "Jesse, take care of your fiancΓ©, I almost fainted!" Alexis pulled her hair and said, "I'm going to have a nightmare tonight, Lord......"

"Hahaha!" Jessica laughed wide, and although she was one of the "victims" herself, she was naturally very happy to see them being intimidated by the people she loved the most. She laughed and looked at Wang Yang, only to see him blink his left eye with a smile, and she laughed and said, "You bastard." ”

As the door was closed, the box fell silent again, and everyone who walked in asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" and "What's the funny thing?" Zachary raised his glass and took a sip of it, and laughed happily, "Jan told a ghost story that scared us all out." Erin shouted at Wang Yang and asked seriously, "Yang, this is fake, right? Those dreams, that man, are all fake?" Joshua said with certainty: "Fake!"

"You know...... Wang Yang's smile slowly froze, and he became expressionless again, and he exhaled a long breath: "You know...... That story is true, no, no, no, I'm just kidding...... It's true, no, it's just made up. Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, everyone laughed and said, "What tricks do you want to play?" He said calmly: "Maybe I should tell you all about this, in fact, this is a four-story dream, and finding the corpse is just me going back to the first layer, understand? I talked to the man......"

"Don't let him say it, change people!" Joshua, who felt creepy again, couldn't help but shout, covering Wang Yang's voice, and looked left and right: "Ali!

Everyone nodded in agreement, except for the only unmarried couple in the audience, who unanimously passed the decision to seal Wang Yang's mouth, and let the non-threatening Alexis take over the microphone, and soon a Catholic priest exorcism type story appeared.

On the night of Halloween, less than ten people in North America were frightened by the psychological horror "supernatural dreams", and countless people were scared by the bloody metamorphosis of "Chainsaw" in various theaters and wanted to vomit, which also made the fans and audiences who are looking for horror scares quite satisfied.

"I really like unexpected endings, and that's very impressive! I don't usually like plasma horror films, but I don't include SA. "I don't see any dissatisfaction with critics, it's the scariest, most suspenseful horror film I've ever seen. "I didn't finish watching them all, I was afraid I'd throw up (I was scared when I watched "Ghost Record"), I didn't watch many horror movies, but SA was unforgettable. ”——Evelyn…… Time continued to rush after Halloween, and when October 31-November 6 became a thing of the past, "Chainsaw", which cost 3 million to produce, collected 36.19 million at the box office in the first week, winning the North American box office champion this week. In second place is "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution", which received 35.31 million in three days of release, and the third is the Disney animated film "The Legend of the Bear", with a box office of 18.09 million.

In the third week, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" ranked fifth with 10.19 million, followed by "Dance Out of My Life" received 9.56 million, and the total box office in North America has reached 68.08 million US dollars, and "Freddy vs. Jason", directed by Yu Rentai, which was released in dozens of theaters, ranked 43rd with 103,800.

"Another business miracle of the flames. Yahoo Entertainment's weekly box office review reported the incredible success of "SA", with a cost of 3 million, 90% audience like, and 36.19 million in the first week! According to normal conservative predictions, its final North American box office is at least 70 million or more, and the global box office is very likely to reach 130-150 million US dollars, 50 times more recovered! How is this not a success, not a miracle? And the miracle happened so densely and intensively, everyone had to praise again: "Flame is really a gold rusher." ”

"The birth of "SA" was not easy, in order to get the investment in the filming, James Win Ray Warner searched all the studios in Australia, no one paid attention to them, and they came to Hollywood and met the same fate, and finally found the magic Young, and Young agreed in one go. From the very beginning, he admired "SA" very much, spared no effort to promote it, and set a sequel plan before it was released. Now Mr. Fantastic has once again proven that he has an extraordinary vision. ”

praised the magic Yang a few words, and the review report wrote: ""SA" has a delicate and thorough character psychology, and it also has a bloody and undoubtedly masterpiece that is no less than any horror film. The 26-year-old James Wing made his stunning screen directorial debut, and he has a bright future ahead of him. I believe that in the next few years, he will bring more shocking "SA2" and "SA3", and the flames will not hope that he is a director. ”

Yahoo Entertainment's opinion is half of the mainstream voice, and the media and film critics on the other side believe that James Win is a psychopathic psychopath, a murderer, and that "SA" is saying something distorted about human nature, and should be smashed on Rotten Tomatoes and taken offline, and there should be no more 2, 3, 4.

Boulderweek's Thomas Drapa sarcastically wrote: "Hellover film, I was totally ready to give up an arm and a leg and run away. Frank O'Sheen of Cinema Eye writes, "Wen treats horror shows as sacred pleasures as a way to realize the full potential of perverts. Sadly, SA just said a bunch of big talk. FilmJerk's Brian O'Dofo also quipped: "If there was an annual election for the Dancing Girls, SA would be the best candidate in 2003." ”…… On Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness of "SA" has dropped to 50% and 37%, and it is expected to continue to decline, with more sophisticated and brutal set props that fans like more and more intense criticism in the United States.

If the director was Ray Warner, who was white, or James Win, who was Asian-American, might have enjoyed a different story, and directing such a box office miracle at the age of 26 would have deserved praise and praise for the film itself.

Richard Kelly, who also launched "Death Hallucination" at the age of 26, received two freshness scores of 85% and 63% for his debut film, and the audience liked 77%, and the film critics were "amazing" and "smart" endlessly, Richard Kelly was even known as a supernova, because he was unparalleled and was afraid of becoming a "director" and had no new work plan, and also declined Flame's several arrangements.

The 18-year-old Wang Yang, who was born in the United States and grew up in the United States, has a more tolerant treatment, and the DV movie "Ghost Shadow" has a freshness of 72% and 98%, of course, because of the age, the Rotten Tomatoes that had just been established at that time were not yet ripe, and the number of film reviews included was very few and most of them were recent, if it was at that time, it was estimated that there were only 70%+ and 60%+ treatment. But from the DV-BOY, DV-KID, and DV-baby, who were jokingly called at the beginning, to being questioned about "whether he will have a second movie", to Mr. Fantastic, who has conquered everyone, Wang Yang has still walked a longer way than others.

But with that came growing expectations and demands, such as the fact that almost everyone thought that the last large-scale release of the 2003 Flames, Wonder Young, and Meryl Streep's "The Devil Wears Prada" would be a treat, which was Wonder Young's Law.
