When Charlize Theron arrived at the art cinema in El Monte, the entrance of the small cinema was crowded, this art cinema only has four halls, and all of them are used to play "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow" at midnight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So many people are really beyond Charlize Theron's expectations, her mood is a little complicated, she began to worry that no one is watching, and now she is worried that there are too many people watching, and what to do if everyone has a bad evaluation.

She looked at the time, there were fifteen minutes before the show started, and her heart beat a little, as if she was facing the most important exam of her life, at this time the doors of the movie theater had opened, and everyone was queuing up to check in and wait to enter.

Charlize Theron then remembered that she hadn't gone to the ticket office to change her ticket, so she picked up her mobile phone and quickly went to change the ticket, she looked up at the poster wall on the side of the ticket hall.

On its left is Colin Efron and Keira Knightley's "****** on the right is Ben Snyder and Orlando Fraser's basic drama "Boys Don't Cry."

And the poster of his "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow" does not have a star's name on it, and the only figure is a silhouette in the window, maybe the protagonist of this movie should be a building called Cecil.

Charlize Theron thought that he would not look at this poster more than he was an audience, let alone buy a ticket to see it, it is said that the publicity cost of this movie is almost zero, all relying on Cheng Xiaoyu's own publicity on "Whispers", plus the production cost, this Charlize Theron knows that less than 350,000 US dollars, of which labor and rental costs occupy the vast majority.

This should be the cheapest in the history of Hollywood films, and there is no other film that can be released by Charlize Theron that is cheaper than this film.

Any information is indicating that the film is unlikely to be a big hit.

She exchanged her tickets at the ticket window, and then followed the tail of the line into the cinema a little lonely.

At this time, the United States plus the more than 300 screens provided by AMC, a total of more than 600 screening halls are full, Cheng Xiaoyu's horror movies have a loyal group of fans in North America, and these people who pay attention to "Xichu" know from the official website that as long as they download "WeChat", they can watch movies for free, and naturally they will not miss this rare opportunity to watch movies for free.

After all, this is the most thrilling documentary in Cheng Xiaoyu's history, yes, he said one less "pseudo" word.

And Huaxia is even more different, Shanghai United Cinema Cinema all over the country have this "pseudo-documentary" at zero o'clock, unlike North America, only the first time to log in to the "WeChat wallet" to buy something, you can get free tickets for this movie, others can watch the movie at seven folds.

Even on Sunday, this still can't stop Cheng Xiaoyu's avid fans, all tickets can be said to be sold out, no one cares how this movie came about, since Cheng Xiaoyu personally promoted it and gave a very high award, fans were moved.

This is nothing surprising, Cheng Xiaoyu's mass base in China is much better than in North America.

Charlize Theron, unaware of the frenzy of movie-going in China with her films, sat nervously in the corner of the second row of the auditorium, not far to her left by the emergency exit door.

The people around were chattering about Cheng Xiaoyu and this "pseudo-documentary", a couple on the side was obviously not in a high mood, and the tall boyfriend was still complaining: "It's silly to spend time watching a documentary in the middle of the night, I have to go to work tomorrow....."

The short-haired woman sitting next to Charlize Theron was a little dissatisfied with her boyfriend's attitude, and said unhappily: "I don't want you to spend money, besides, when did you go to work on time." ”

The boyfriend muttered: "The main thing is that I think it's a waste of time, let's say it's okay first, if it's not good-looking, we have to leave early." ”

The girlfriend said a little impatiently: "I know, it's not good-looking, I'll leave immediately, you've said it a few times." ”

Charlize Theron sat next to him and didn't look at a couple embarrassed, their conversation gave Charlize Theron a lot of pressure, which made her regret that she came to see the movie for the first time, she should observe it first, if the evaluation is high, she is watching it.

In order to prevent the details from being leaked, the promotional film was not made, and the actors did not have a chance to see what the film was like, so Charlize Theron had no bottom in his heart.

She was a little scared that the couple next to her would get up and leave after watching it for a while, because if one person was bored to leave, more people would follow, and finally a herd effect would be formed, in case there were only a few people left in the entire movie theater in the end, which would be too embarrassing.

Charlize Theron looked at the advertisements on the big screen with great concern, the lights in the screening room began to dim, and the noise in the movie theater gradually became quieter.

In her fear, all the lights went out, the movie screen turned black, and a row of white words appeared in the middle, and patients with heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and pregnant women were strictly forbidden to watch this film.

The tall man on the side laughed quietly and sneered: "It's like a matter, I really don't believe that I can scare a few people, and Cheng's own movie is not scary at all." ”

His girlfriend said angrily: "I don't know who watched "Lights.Out" and didn't dare to close their eyes all night. ”

At this time, the person in the back row patted the two people and whispered: "Excuse me, please don't talk....."

The two men snorted coldly at each other, and the air fell silent again, leaving only the slightest breath.

The huge symbol of "Xichu" emerges, and Asian women holding torches shine brightly between the sea and the sky.

Charlize Theron heard that this lifelike three-D figure was based on Cheng Xiaoyu's sister, and she thought that Cheng's sister was really beautiful, but why hadn't she heard him mention it or seen it?

But the thought was only fleeting, and immediately her attention was drawn to the movie, and for the first time there were snowflakes on the big screen, and there was the chaotic sound of electricity in the stereo, and if you looked closely, you could see the red dot flashing in the lower right corner and the beating recording time.

Immediately the picture returned to normal, and the screen appeared Chris Evans's rather handsome face, holding the camera to the camera and saying in a typical British accent: "Hi! Hello everyone! My name is Chris Evans, the founder and host of the British "Weekly Talk" program, and the audience who knows me well knows that I am very bold and have never believed in ghosts. A year ago, I started planning the "Weekly Talk" column and broadcast it on YouTube. This column is to collect anecdotal clues from the society, and then I will personally experience, investigate and reveal the secrets, and then report the process and results in the program. In the six months since the opening of the column, all the strange things have been reasonably explained by my personal experience, and today I am at the strong request of the audience to reveal the secret of the Cecil Hotel..... This hotel is a killer ......"

Saying that, Chris Evans turned the camera to the Cecil Hotel behind him, at this time it was approaching night, the cloud pressure was very low, and the whole sky felt very gloomy, the old Cecil Hotel stood lonely in the gray, plus this was an elevation angle, and there was no one around.

It gives people an eerie and solemn feeling - this building is like a huge tomb.

Immediately after that, Chris Evans's rather sunny face appeared, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which made the gloomy feeling disappear, Chris Evans first introduced the history of the Cecil Hotel, which focused on the Lanker incident that happened last year, and said that he would lead the audience to see the first-hand video about Lankeer.

Charlize Theron's heart raced and she began to get excited, because she knew she was about to show up.

"In this episode, we also have a special guest, and the audience is blessed, this is a big beauty, she claims to have a sixth sense since she was a child, and after watching my show, she sent me an email claiming that ghosts are real..... This time I specially invited her to participate in our show to see if what she said was true or not....."

"This is Miss Charlize Theron, who has a sixth sense. The camera turned to Charlize Theron on the side, her face was a little sickly pale, her blonde hair was shawl, she was wearing a black sweater and gray pants, tall and thin, very cold, she was very stunning at first appearance, and it also gave people a sense of isolation and indifference.

At this time, there was a restless sound in the cinema, and it was obvious that many people were slightly shocked by the beautiful Charlize Theron, and the unexpected beauty.

But soon everyone turned their attention back to the big screen, watching the movie with their eyes closed, Charlize Theron in the camera staring at the old hotel, after a while, and then turned to the camera and said in a low tone: "This building is very dangerous." ”

The unique picture feeling of a home camera, the shooting time in the lower right corner continues to beat, giving all the audience in front of the big screen an extremely deep sense of involvement, as if they are the person holding the camera.

As the picture progresses, Chris Evans goes to the front desk to open a room, and the greeting standing at the door is an old man in a black suit, and the front desk is an old woman in her old age, and the old woman sits behind a front desk with only a window slit to open a room for them, the room that was specially chosen for someone to jump off the building.

Regarding their choice, the old woman looked calm and did not ask more.

The old man in the black suit put their luggage on the luggage cart and pushed it into the elevator.

When Chris Evans stood in the elevator and asked with some curiosity why it was full of older people.

The greeter in a black suit glanced at Chris Evans very indifferently, and then said coldly: "Young people are not suitable to come here, including most of the residents here are also elderly..... Because we are old and well-informed, even if we see something, we are not too surprised and afraid..... We won't live long anyway. ”

The old elevator, which was a little old when he said this, began to rise with a humming sound, and Chris Evans asked, "Was this elevator that Lanker was in when he had an accident?"

The old man in the black suit seemed to turn a deaf ear and didn't pay attention to it at all.

Charlize Theron looked at the number of floors jumping in the elevator, and interjected coldly: "Yes, four elevators, we chose this one very accurately." ”

At this time, the twelfth floor B, that is, the thirteenth floor, arrived, and the old man in the black suit unloaded his luggage directly at the elevator door, and then said: "I'm sorry, I won't go to that room and this floor, please carry your luggage in by yourself." ”

After speaking, regardless of the stunned eyes of the two, he pressed the door directly.

As the elevator gradually closed, his wrinkled face had a dead man-like expression, numb, dull, lifeless, and his glass-like eyes were so dim that there was not even a trace of brilliance, and when he looked at the camera, it was as if his eyes were staring at everyone in the audience through the movie screen.

The whole hall is silent only the slight sound of breathing, elevators, corridors, and lights are all extremely familiar scenes, but they seem to be full of invisible crises, and this depressing feeling makes people's hearts very uncomfortable.

The picture passes forward frame by frame, and the general horror film is scary with music, and the horror effect will be greatly reduced without music, but because it is a pseudo-documentary, Cheng Xiaoyu tried to cut the background music as much as possible, and instead adopted more natural sound effects to create a thrilling effect, such as the sound of the wind blowing glass, the sound of water droplets, the sound of electricity, etc.....

It makes people think that there is no background music, but in fact the hidden music has an even more intimidating effect in the silence, and on the first night of the two's stay in this suite, Chris Evans puts the infrared camera in Charlize Theron's room, and puts a regular camera in his room.

In the dim night, there was nothing but the sound of water dripping in the bathroom, and Charlize Theron was lying alone in bed, because the room was not big, and the camera could take care of the bed and the bedroom door, while Chris Evans slept in the other room.

Such an environment makes the audience feel cold on their backs, and their hearts are lifted again, as if there will be unknown things at any time, everyone who watches Cheng Xiaoyu's short film "Lights.Out" knows that Cheng Xiaoyu is the best at creating an atmosphere, everyone accelerated their breathing because of nervousness, and many people reached out and grabbed the people around them.

Everyone didn't know what they were afraid of, nothing had appeared until now, no blood, no severed limbs, no paranormal phenomena, just two people had been exploring the history of the hotel, but at this moment it made everyone feel creepy.

Suddenly, the TV in the room lit up like this, and the screen was full of snowflakes, and some timid people couldn't help but scream, although the sudden broadcast of the TV was not a terrible thing.

But after being suppressed for so long, the person who has brought himself into the protagonist has completely imagined himself as being in that house, and he will naturally be horrified when he sees this scene.

The woman next to Charlize Theron also screamed and grabbed her boyfriend's arm, and his boyfriend's voice trembled and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"

But in fact, his own hands were also holding the corners of his clothes, and his palms were full of sweat.

There is also the sound of the cold wind blowing through the glass at night, the eerie old TV face flickering black and white dots, as if transformed into the miserable face of a dead man, and the blue and white screen glow on the bed where Charlize Theron slept.

Charlize Theron sat up, turned on the bedroom light, staggered out of bed, and woke up Chris Evans, who was sleeping next door.

Chris Evans came in and turned off the TV, and then said sleepily, "Maybe it's because the TV is so old! ”

Charlize Theron, leaning her back against the wall, leaned against the door, as if she was about to flee at any moment, she hesitated for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "No, I feel it, someone has come..... No, he's not human...."

Chris Evans laughed, picked up the home camera and started showing it to Charlize Theron, and said, "You don't see anything, it's just a problematic TV, sleep well, we're going to interview the manager of this hotel tomorrow." ”

Then the two of them went to bed separately, and the night was fine.
