At a restaurant in East Hollywood, three men and women of different ages get together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They occupied a table by the window, where they were arguing fiercely.

"Jeremy, are you sure this kid named Sid isn't making fun of you? I still don't believe a 14 or 5-year-old junior high school student can make any movies. An old white man said with a skeptical face, he was nearly sixty years old, but his good spirit made him look energetic with white hair.

A young woman next to her, with dark hair and a rather rebellious smoky makeup, lit a cigarette and opened her mouth as an independent characteristic: "Collins, if you're not interested, you can't come, and no one is forcing you." ”

"Sarah, do you talk like that!" said old Collins, who was immediately choked by the words of the smoky girl.

"Don't quarrel as soon as you meet, okay?" Jeremy said helplessly, "Collins, Sid is 16 years old, I promise it's not a prank, he's really talented, and you'll understand when you see him." ”

"I don't care, as long as he pays me. Smoke girl Sarah said nonchalantly.

"You can't just look at the money, the script and the director are the most important thing, it's because you're always like this that you can't go too far on the road of actors. Collins said to Sarah.

"Hmph, Collins, this is not your acting classroom, what's the use of getting an Oscar if you don't have money?" Sarah said unconvinced.

"You ......" Collins watched as his blood pressure was about to get high again.

Seeing that the atmosphere became intense, Jeremy had no choice but to suppress the scene loudly: "Okay, everyone listen to me, I know what you are all worried about, Sid will come over with the script today, you can read it and decide whether to join or not, there is no point in arguing like this now." ”

"I just wish he was a punctual man. Collins looked at his watch and muttered.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's ......already there," Sarah said with a frown as she caught a glimpse of a young figure outside the dining room window.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the dining room opened.

Dressed in a classic black and white baseball jacket and a light blue slim shirt, Sid looked sunny and clear, and he walked into the restaurant to look around, and then saw Jeremy raising his hand by the window to greet him.

"I'm not late. Sid nodded to Jeremy and said hello, then he looked at the old man Collins and the smoky girl Sarah sitting at either end. Collins' energetic elegance made Sid nod secretly, and Sarah's smoky makeup surprised Sid, but if the heavy makeup was washed off, it might have an unexpected effect.

"The timing was just right. Jeremy stood up and moved a seat to Sid, and then after Sid sat down, he introduced his friends to the room, "This is Collins." ”

"He used to be a professional actor in Hollywood, and now he is retired and teaches acting at an art school in Pasadeno," he said, pointing to the old man, Collins. ”

"Hello, nice to meet you. Sid and Collins shook hands vigorously across the table, and at the same time his eyes were blazing and looking directly at Collins, Collins just wanted to say hello perfunctorily, but was disrupted by Sid's powerful handshake, and he couldn't help but look at Sid opposite.

Sid's bright and powerful eyes shook his heart, and then he involuntarily said, "You...... Well, I'm glad to meet you too. ”

After Sid nodded to him, Jeremy moved on to the next one, "This pretty lady is Sarah, and she's a bartender at a bar. ”

"It's a pity you can't drink yet, or I'll treat you to a drink, boy. Sarah, the smoky girl, said to Sid with a provocative charm.

"How do you know I don't drink?" Sid asked rhetorically, with a playful look in his eyes.

"I like you, boy. Sarah, the smoky girl, didn't expect to bump into someone more rebellious than herself, and suddenly laughed heartily.

Seeing Sid's face-to-face make the originally doubtful old Jianghu Collins and the rebellious and unruly smoky girl Sarah become "tame", Jeremy couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

"Na Sid, you brought the script. Jeremy has always been very curious about the script that Sid said, because there are always many precedents for good ideas to write bad books, although Sid's description of DV movies is indeed exciting, but in the end, it depends on the level of the script.

"Well, wait a minute, I remember Jeremy, didn't you say that all four actors had been found?" Sid asked unhurriedly as he pressed the script.

"Oh, yes, the other female candidate is ......," Jeremy explained, but Sarah, the smoky girl, interrupted him and said, "The other one is my friend, she's not a local, she's traveling from Minnesota." ”

"What about her?" asked Sid, frowning.

"She went out yesterday and hasn't come back today. Sarah said nonchalantly.

Why did you just say it directly!!

Jeremy looked at Sarah, and in his heart a hundred thousand slots of your horse galloped by, such an irresponsible person, can Sid still use it. Jeremy was speechless and held his forehead.

But Sarah had already left her a voicemail with the address and time of the meeting here. Jeremy couldn't help but explain.

"Well......" Sid nodded expressionlessly, didn't say anything, and didn't waste much energy on this matter.

"Then let's get started. "I know you all have your own doubts, both for me and about the film itself, but I think as long as you read the script, you won't have any problems." ”

"What about the script?" asked Collins, "you're done, aren't you?"

Sid took a bound printout from his backpack and threw it on the table, Collins tried to reach for it, but Sid grabbed the script.

"Don't worry. Sid said with a smile, and the calm and composedness of the sixty-year-old Collins was like an impatient and frivolous hairy young man. Smoke girl Sarah laughed as she ate and Collins glared back at her.

"I know that everyone is Jeremy's friend, and it was because of Jeremy's request that I came to this film, but before I showed everyone the script, I had to ask everyone to sign an agreement. Sid said as he took out a few printed documents from his backpack, and everyone looked at them to see that it was actually a non-disclosure agreement.

"Non-disclosure agreement!, God, you think you're Spielberg or James Cameron, we haven't agreed to participate in your movie yet, you don't think you're feeling good. The smoky girl Sarah screamed at first.

"As long as you can participate in my movie, you can get at least $1,000 a week, and if you are a starring actor, you can get $3,000. Sid didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw out a clear price.

"Hmm......" Smoke girl Sarah's eyes lit up when she heard Sid's price, a thousand dollars a week, which was very tempting compared to her current job as a bartender, she struggled for a moment and said, "I'll sign it!"

Then everyone looked at the rest of Collins, and under Jeremy's pleading eyes, Collins puffed up and said, "You'd better not let me down, boy." ”

"Of course. Sid confidently handed over the pen, and after Collins and Sarah signed the non-disclosure agreement for the script, Sid patted the script and said, "Our film is called Paranormal Activity, and it's a DV movie. ”

"DV movie?" Smoke Girl looked confused.

The old man, Collins, sneered and asked, "You don't mean to use that kind of home DV machine to make movies?" ”

"Yes and no. Sid said with a smile.

"Huh??" the crowd was confused.

"When a couple moved into a new home, they started making all sorts of strange noises, like fingernails scraping against the walls. In order to find out the truth, the actor bought a DV machine and wanted to find out what was going on. But after they used the DV machine, strange things became more and more intense, the key began to appear in the middle of the living room, and in the middle of the night, there was a sudden alarming noise downstairs, and the chandelier in the living room was shaking violently for no reason, as if it had been hit by something. Sid began to tell the story straight to the point, and his brilliant storytelling skills aroused the interest of the smoky girl and the old man, and they gradually quieted down.

Seeing that they were attracted by their own story, Sid smiled in his heart and continued, "In order to find out the truth of the matter, the male protagonist put the DV rack in their bedroom and turned on the infrared night vision function of the DV machine, wanting to capture what was going on at night at night. ”

"What's that...... Something?" The always bold Smoke Girl asked nervously.

"The first day, the second day, nothing happened. Sid said with a smile, "But after the psychic invited by the heroine came, at two o'clock in the morning on the third day, when the hero and heroine were asleep, the bedroom door suddenly moved, and the range of movement was not large, but after it was half-closed for no reason, it returned to its original position." The protagonists who found out about it through the video were very uneasy. ”

"After a few more nights, things got worse and worse, and there were all sorts of unusual noises coming from the downstairs club in the middle of the night. One night, the heroine was suddenly woken up, she got up and stood on the edge of the bed with her eyes blank, and this stop was an hour, while the male protagonist was asleep without knowing anything. An hour later, the heroine walked downstairs. ”

"The male protagonist, who found that the heroine was missing in the middle of the night, searched all over the house with a DV machine, and finally found her by the swimming pool in the backyard. After the heroine's sleepwalking incident, the male protagonist sprinkled white powder on the corridor and bedroom door in order to prevent anomalies, and the black shadow appeared for the first time on the white bedroom door that night, and the white footprints walked all the way out along the bedroom, and finally disappeared at the end of the corridor. Sid finally advanced the story to Little Tall Grass, and Smokey Girl and Collins listened to him intently and tremblingly.

"Next, the black shadow also caused various supernatural events more and more frequently. In the end, the heroine went downstairs after sleepwalking again, and after a long time, her screams suddenly came downstairs, and the male protagonist was awakened and rushed downstairs, at this time our DV was forgotten in the bedroom, and we could only hear the screams of the heroine downstairs getting louder and louder, and the male protagonist's exclamations were getting smaller and smaller, and finally after the impact of several heavy objects, all sounds stopped abruptly. ”

"The DV camera was so vain to shoot outside the black hole outside the bedroom, and after a period of almost suffocating silence, something suddenly smashed in from the outside, it was the hero! No, it was his corpse. The DV machine was smashed and fell, and the heroine stood at the door at some point, covered in blood and with a cape. Then she walked up to the actor step by step, squatted down, her movements were stiff and weird, she sniffed the hero's body, and then she noticed the DV machine that was still running, she looked at the camera blankly, and suddenly showed a weird smile. But this smiling face immediately turned into black eyeballs and sharp teeth, and the heroine made the same tearing sound as when the supernatural event crashed into the camera, and the DV picture came to an abrupt end. ”
