Fear....

That's the expression of most people in the screening room at the moment.

Obviously, there is no witch in the film, there is only one bloody scene, and there is not even the voice of a witch. There is only the interaction between the three main actors in the whole process... But there was still an unspeakable sense of fear.

What is seen is not necessarily the most terrifying, and the invisible curse can be even more deadly.

Looking back at the foreshadowing before entering the valley, all of them have been fulfilled one by one, and the clearer the memory, the more you can feel its horror.

Zhou Mulan knows everything in her heart, and she has watched it countless times when editing, so she doesn't have too many special feelings. Looking back at Zhou Hao, she found that her father's face was a little complicated: fear, entanglement, excitement... The emotions are different.

After a moment of silence in the room, someone applauded first, and then there was a loud applause.

Zhou Mulan asked Zhou Hao nervously, "I succeeded?"

Zhou Hao was stunned and said, "This.... It's indeed a good pseudo-documentary, and it's in place in all aspects, but it's because of the subject matter limitations. Cheng is also a pseudo documentary, and defeat is also a pseudo documentary, the performance technique is too poor, although the atmosphere in the last few minutes is really good, but the front is a bit boring, not scary enough. I don't think audiences are willing to buy into this movie. ”

"Is that okay or not?"

"Let's see what everyone thinks. ”

Other people are also discussing in pairs, everyone has the ability to appreciate and analyze far-sighted movies, and combined with the film market, it is easy to judge whether a movie can be a hit.

But for now, "Blair the Witch" still lacks some potential.

"As a pseudo-documentary, this film is very good, but it has no competitiveness in the market, and can only attract a small audience. ”

"It's still not scary enough, the frontal impact is too weak. It looks like a witch is the ghost, but what about the witch?

"A shaky camera will drive away a lot of viewers. ”

"I don't think it's worth spending millions of dollars on promotion, it won't box office more than two million, and it won't even recover the cost. ”

"But this is a newcomer's new work, and it's already very good to be able to shoot this effect with a pseudo-documentary. To be honest, at the last minute, I was scared, really scared. I'm curious to know what happened to them in the end, but it seems that the director didn't give it a chance,"

"There's a lot of immersion from the first perspective, like I watched a live broadcast about a witch and then the streamer was killed by an invisible witch. ”

Everyone expressed their opinions, and most people were optimistic about this movie and thought it was not bad, but it was a bit of a fool's dream to get it to the cinema to win the box office. With so many excellent and well-made traditional films, why should audiences choose this shoddy pseudo-documentary?

There is a lack of a sufficiently convincing reason.

Zhou Hao also thinks so, and is pleased that his daughter's directing skills are a lot better, but unfortunately this movie still can't be on the main stage.

After everyone voted, the final consensus was that it was not worth the investment. But you can consider buying out the copyright, spending a little money to publicize, and then releasing it on a small scale. It's usually a midnight show and so on.

Buyout fee: $100.

This is still the price given on Zhou Hao's face.

However, Zhou Mulan obviously didn't want this result, so she worked hard for a month, and was directly bought out of the fruits of her labor?

"Wait!" Zhou Mulan interrupted.

"Miss Zhou, do you have anything else to add?" someone said with a smile, "If you are not satisfied with the price offered by Universal, you can discuss it again." ”

"No, I don't accept the buyout!" Zhou Mulan shook his head, "I only accept cooperative release and release, and finally share!"

"Are you thinking about us? Haha, then you will lose more, there is no box office, and it is very likely that you will not even recover the cost. ”

"Can you listen to my opinion first?" Zhou Mulan said.

"Listen up. ”

"If..."Zhou Mulan took a deep breath, "This is not a pseudo-documentary, but a real documentary?

Zhou Mulan's face was solemn, "Don't hide it from everyone, I didn't shoot this movie, but the three leading actors made it themselves." They decided to go to a small town in Maryland to shoot a documentary about witches in order to participate in the USC Campus Film Festival, and I just provided them with a little money as a friendly friend.

But what saddened me was that they went missing during the shoot and couldn't be contacted at all, and when I went to look for them, I only found the camera and DV in the mountains.

All you're seeing now is that I've made a sequential edit of the video they took.

This is a real documentary, not a movie!"

This is a documentary, not a movie .... This sentence smashed on the hearts of everyone in the audience like a hammer, and everyone was stunned directly.

What is the main difference between a film and a documentary?

Facticity!

For a while, everyone stared at Zhou Mulan in disbelief.

"Miss Zhou, you must be lying to us, right?"

"How is that possible? This can't be real!"

"Oh God, it's unbelievable. ”

"Haha, that's ridiculous, this must be fake, how can a witch exist?"

Zhou Mulan curled the corners of her mouth disdainfully, "May I ask everyone, did I say that witches must exist? Or, have you ever seen witches in the film?"

Everyone was stunned.

Witches, it seems that they have never appeared....

But in connection with those legends and the personal experiences of the three people in the film, the spearhead of all clues points to the witch.

Thinking about it like this, everyone felt a sense of fear in their hearts for no reason.

Could it be that the pictures I saw before are all real.... Indeed, it seems that there is no trace of deliberate performance by the three people in the film, everything is just a "live broadcast".

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

"Miss Zhou, I hope you can give an explanation!" someone slapped the table and stood up, "You have to admit that this is a prank, not a real nightmare!"

"Prank?" Zhou Mulan saw everyone's frightened expressions, and just wanted to laugh in his heart.

These cowards!

Zhou Mulan looked around at everyone and said without hesitation, "Let's skip this question first." If we told the audience that this was a real horror documentary, not a feature film, would they go into the cinema and find out?

Put yourself in your shoes, if you all knew before you watched the movie that this horror documentary was real, and not the movie I made, would you change your attitude? Would you still like to watch this documentary?"

The crowd was silent.

Zhou Mulan nodded confidently, "It seems that everyone should go into the movie theater to take a look, right?

Some people questioned, "Now it's not this that we need to figure out!

"What if it is? What if it isn't?" Zhou Mulan said, "You haven't figured this out yet, we just need to convince the audience that it's true!"

Hearing this, someone suddenly realized, stared at his eyes and said, "This is indeed a feature film, but you want to deceive the audience and make them believe that this is a real documentary?"

After someone brought it up, everyone else reacted immediately, and then stared at the immature-looking Zhou Mulan in horror:

"It's crazy!"

Just like when Zhou Mulan questioned Liu Pian.

Hollywood hasn't had such a crazy plan for so many years, right?
