557. Premiere (2-in-1)
PS: Thank you HERO-YOU for your valuable monthly pass!!
Quake is a true fan of the TV series.
Compared with the movie that ended in two hours, he has been able to act in many episodes, and the TV series that can tell the story in detail is his favorite.
He likes the feeling of watching a drama, and he also likes to be able to see a lot of different things for a long time, at least he thinks that the two hours of the movie are too short and it really doesn't look enjoyable.
After school today, Quake returned home, helped Mom and Dad with some of the work he could, and then finished his poor homework, Quake took his place in front of the TV with a bucket of popcorn.
Just yesterday, his favorite "ER: Story" came to an abrupt end, which made him feel very sorry, after all, this TV series has been on the air for 14 seasons, and he has seen it from beginning to end, and "ER: Story" is followed by a new drama called "The Walking Dead".
This name is not unfamiliar to Quake, for a while the local media kept sending out news about how bad the film was, but these did not affect Quake's interest, and even after watching the trailer in the last two days, Quake still thinks that this TV series is very interesting, think about the zombies like a sea of people, and the rapid and tense rhythm, as if telling himself that he must not miss this TV series.
As for those people who say that Orientals can't make good TV series, Quake feels that he just wants to give the middle finger to that group of people, and what he hates most is these racist remarks, maybe this also has something to do with the fact that he is 'dark skin'.
"Hey, Quake, you've taken my place."
Just as Quake was looking forward to the release of the new TV series, a girl's voice interrupted his thoughts. Quake looked back and saw a black girl standing behind him.
"Alice, today is Wednesday, and this position belongs to me."
"No, it's Tuesday, you must be mistaken. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at my watch. Alice stretched out her digital watch as she spoke, but a sly look flashed in her eyes.
Who knew that Quake didn't watch it at all, but shook his head directly: "Alice, you have already used this trick on me twice, I just won't be fooled no matter how stupid I am, you don't want to occupy my TV, it belongs to me tonight." β
It turns out that Quake's kid still has some potential to be a 'stupid', but Quake has naturally grown a lot of memory after being deceived, and communicates with his 'shrewd' sister. Quake also knows to keep an eye on it.
Seeing the failure of her 'deception', Alice was obviously very frustrated, but she was also very unwilling.
"My dearest brother, tonight is a costume show of Master Fanny, you know, that's my dream, are you going to kill your sister's dream?" After saying that, Alice also put on a very pitiful expression. Look at Quake.
It's a pity that Quake's heart has long been indestructible under his sister's tricks.
Seeing that there was no fluctuation in his eyes, he replied directly: "My dearest sister." If you still think that I am your dearest brother, then listen to me, you really have no talent for fashion design, I still remember how you were ridiculed countless times, give up, that is the greatest respect for this industry! β
βSHITγ Quaker!!! Before Quake could finish speaking, Alice ran back to the room with a roar, apparently hurting the little girl's poor self-esteem.
However, Quake didn't pay attention to this, and sure enough, half an hour later, Alice came to Quake with a pot of fruit. After sitting down, he didn't speak, just stared at the TV with his eyes scattered, eating fruit vigorously, of course, just eating by himself, as for Quake? Hehe......
The little girl's angry appearance all fell into Quake's eyes, eating alone? Is this kind of thing still something that Lord Quake will care about, what a childish method, thinking of this, Quake smiled disapprovingly, and this smile fell on Alice's gaze, and it turned into a provocation.
The girl was furious, secretly made a note of this failure, and prepared to find a place to come back later.
Before I knew it, it was time for the TV series to be broadcast, and Quake, who had been very lazy and constantly changing TV stations, finally made up his mind to cut the signal to NBC, and at the same time the whole person was much more energetic.
Alice also knows about this TV series, but she is not very interested, in her opinion, girls should watch something beautiful, not zombies, which are terrifying and disgusting creatures, but today and the future to hit her hateful brother, she doesn't mind watching it for a while, so that she can criticize it.
Even she has figured out how to compare this TV series with "Resident Evil", and she has to solemnly tell her dear brother what a haode show is.
Quake didn't know what his sister was thinking, and his attention was on the TV series at the moment.
On the wide road, there was only one car coming, and the whole scene was surprisingly quiet, even making Quake think that his TV stereo was broken, until the car approached and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground made Quake breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the next scene made the two siblings sitting hold their breath.
It was surprisingly quiet, and the officer who got out of the car seemed to be surprisingly calm, facing the wrecked car that was either overturned or hit around, the policeman did not change his face, which was really amazing.
Soon, however, the surprise escalated.
"Oh my God, I'm disgusting......" Alice couldn't help but call out when she saw the next shot.
Because at this moment, the pictures are flying with mosquitoes and flies, and the cars that have happened are not empty, but full of people, men and women, old and young, but they all have their eyes closed, and the swarms of mosquitoes that fall on their faces obviously remind the audience in front of the TV that these are dead people.
Quake was also intrigued, obviously this scene gives people a very weird and attractive feeling, this is a horror movie, even if you know that something terrible may happen in the next scene, but you still can't resist the curiosity to watch.
Especially the police officer in the film, although his face is painful, it is obviously strange that he is still so calm in the face of so many dead people.
The police carrying oil drums were apparently looking for oil. But when he really walked to the gas station, he found that there was no gasoline here, and in desperation, the policeman had to turn around and walk in the original direction, but when he turned back and took a few steps, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, which made the policeman freeze in place.
Quake and Alice swallowed at the same time at the same moment. I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe when I felt nervous, and in such an environment, what was the ...... behind me?
Especially the policeman on the TV boldly took off his hat at this moment and lay on the ground to watch, which made Alice, who was already a little timid, cover her eyes in fright, and keep muttering: "No, no, no, no, go, go......"
If only Quake could glance sideways at his sister at this point. You can see that although she covers her eyes, the gaps in her fingertips allow her to see everything on TV, and it is obvious that Alice is also scared and expectant.
At this moment, the lower body of a pair of children in front of the camera suddenly appeared in the officer's sight, the calves looked very black and dirty, and the bear slippers they were wearing seemed to be very dirty. However, the little girl didn't seem to care, and bent down to pick up a bear doll that had fallen to the ground.
The officer watched as the calves disappeared from his sight. Hurriedly got up and looked over, and saw a child of about eight or nine years old wearing a very dirty sleepy attitude, tapping and dragging slippers, walking away with his back to him.
"Little girl, I'm a police officer?" The officer tried to say hello, but the girl did not respond. Still walking forward, which made the originally relaxed atmosphere tense again, and it was obvious that the audience had also discovered the abnormality of this little girl.
"Little girl?" The officer tried to say hello a second time, and the girl stopped.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a police officer......... "The officer said in a gentle voice as if trying to defuse the girl's fears. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the scene at this moment is indeed too scary.
The girl turned around slowly, her long blonde hair was very charming, and her fair skin seemed to be a little paler at this moment, but what was this blood, oh God!!
Alice screamed in fright, and Quake was still a little mentally prepared, but when Alice screamed like this, he couldn't help but tremble in fright.
In front of the TV, a little girl with the corners of her mouth completely torn into a triangle, half of her face already rotten, and a mouth full of blood with her terrifying teeth exposed appeared in front of everyone!
The police were obviously frightened, and what was even more terrifying was that the little girl turned around, as if she had seen delicious food, and roared with a shrill sound, dragging her feet towards the police, Alice and Quake both pursed their lips nervously, watching the police hurriedly pull out their pistols, and then as the gunshot rang out, a bullet mercilessly pierced the girl's skull......
The zombie fell, but with the rapid music, it seemed that a greater fear was coming towards the people, because with the sound of the gunshot, there seemed to be a faint number of suppressed roars around them, how similar this voice was to the voice made by the little girl just now......
At the moment when Quake and Alice were worried about the situation of the police officer, the camera suddenly became the opening of the TV series, a room full of cobwebs, a turning doorknob, a blood-stained floor, of course, there are also the names of the leading actors, the music is low and rapid, it sounds like a nervous feeling, often at this time Quake will be distracted, after all, what is so good at the beginning of the film, but I don't know Weishenme, at this moment Quake is watching very seriously.
The motivation to support him to be so serious is undoubtedly the next feature film, and the beginning of the film is not long, after Zuihou played the title of "The Walking Dead", accompanied by a big "Ye Su Mang screenwriter", "Ye Su Mang director", the TV series once again entered the main topic.
And at this moment, Quake and Alice both remembered a name, Ye Sumang, who made him make his name so obvious, and the title was so powerful.
But it doesn't matter, the content of the feature film is what they are curious about.
Obviously, the content of the feature film did not disappoint them in the slightest, and the first episode introduced in detail that the Weishenme police would appear alone next to the terrifying gas station, and also showed the apocalypse of the sudden arrival of zombies in front of the audience for the first time.
And Quake and Alice discover that the zombies in this TV series are not so scary, walk slowly, and have fatal weaknesses. But as long as you are touched a little, it seems to be infected, which is more like an invisible deterrent, and what is more terrifying is no longer only zombies, and the human nature that leaks in this disorderly society is also very scary.
A black kid who looks like he's only a teenager dares to raise a shovel to kill police officer Rick in order to survive, and although Zuihou is stopped by his father, the consequences of this endless amplification of fear are still heartbreaking. When Quake saw this scene, he wondered more than once if he would do this, and after thinking about it for a long time, he had an answer, maybe in that kind of place, his choice would be the same as that child.
Of course, the persistence of some people in the apocalypse is also touching.
It was the black father and son who gave up the opportunity to flee with the policeman Rick and returned to their residence, when the audience saw the black father raise the sniper rifle in his hand several times to aim at his wife, but several times he couldn't do it. Zuihou didn't press the trigger even if he mustered up endless courage, and everyone's eyes were moist at this moment......
Although his lover has passed away, he has become a terrifying creature, and even comes to his house every day and every night, twisting the doorknob and trying to open it.
knew that it was very dangerous to indulge like this, but he was reluctant to shoot, even if he could just sneak into her and wander outside the door. It seems that you can feel that she is close by......
This is the most ordinary but most loyal feeling, and some viewers scolded this black father for being stupid. Some were moved by his infatuation, and many people understood that perhaps in the last days, survival is not the only purpose.
In contrast, the affair between Officer Rick's wife and his friend has become a typical example of the opposite, before it is determined whether her husband is alive or dead. Rick's wife chose betrayal in order to survive, which also made many people very disgusted with this role, and before the TV series was finished, the messages on NBC's official website were piled up, many of which were crusading against the betrayed two.
Nearly 70 minutes of plot. But at the end of the play, both Quake and Alice have a sense of unfinished.
"Well, isn't it much better than your designer stuff?" Quake asked with a smile.
Alice's eyes twitched, why did she forget, didn't she want to hit her brother well while watching the TV series? Damn it...... But this TV series seems to be really good, although it is not beautiful at all, and those zombies are disgusting, but I always want to watch it under the feeling of fear.
Thinking of this, Alice couldn't help but replied stiffly: "So-so, hum!" β
After saying that, the little girl walked back to the room with her fruit bowl in her arms, and Quake couldn't help but be happy when she looked at her sister's back, not caring about the little girl's hard performance.
Turning off the TV, Quake opened NBC's official website for the first time, and sure enough, there were already a lot of messages on it, Quake was itchy after reading a few hot posts, and couldn't help but open his message board and post his thoughts after watching it this night, and at the same time announced that he had found a good series worth chasing to the end.
As the director and screenwriter of this TV series, Ye Sumang watched it with Liu Yifei at home, and the girl gradually fell asleep in Ye Sumang's arms, but Ye Sumang waited for the answer while reading a book by the light of the bedside lamp.
When the moon hadn't set yet, Ye Sumang's mobile phone finally trembled.
"Is it Tim, the results are out?" Ye Sumang answered the phone and asked with a smile.
"Yes." Tim's voice was a little low: "Ye, there may be a bad news to tell you, the results of the first episode are not ideal, and there are only about 300,000 viewers." β
"300,000? Very good. After hearing the news, Ye Sumang didn't seem to be affected at all, but replied with a smile, which made Tim on the other end of the phone wonder, maybe Ye Sumang didn't understand what this achievement meant?
"Ye, it's only 300,000, do you know the first season of "Prison Break", its average number of viewers per episode exceeded 8.6 million, can you understand the difference? If we continue this achievement, then I am afraid that this TV series will be cut in a quarter. β
"Of course I understand, but don't worry, I have confidence in my TV series, Tim, listen to me, get a good night's sleep now, get up tomorrow and open the Youtube website, I believe it will give you a satisfactory answer." Ye Sumang still had a confident smile, and he didn't sigh until he put down the phone.
Tim is anxious, how can he not be like this, the start of 300,000 is indeed beyond Ye Sumang's expectations, this number of viewers is indeed a little low, but now Ye Sumang still has confidence in himself, and in addition to the ratings data of the TV station, this cooperation with Youtube will also be a big data, Ye Sumangzhi expects that in the case of the failure of the premiere TV station, the network data can look better.
Thinking of this, Ye Sumang adjusted the phone to a ringtone and entered the dream.
Early the next morning, the first thing Ye Sumang did after getting up was to pick up his mobile phone, but unfortunately there was no call from it, Ye Sumang rubbed his temples and turned on the computer as soon as possible, and sure enough, the click-through rate of the first episode of The Walking Dead was not very impressive at this time, and it was right to think about it, after all, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and it was definitely impossible to cause a sensation in such a short time.
But at this moment, Ye Su Mang can't be allowed to guess, after all, he still has work to do, a new day of filming is about to begin, and the whole content of the first episode is getting closer and closer...... (To be continued......)
