Chapter 10: Witnessing Together
Guan Haifei invited the whole class to watch Zhang Yao's movie, because he was afraid that the movie would not be able to sell a single ticket, so he made him popular, and he had the attitude of giving you face at the beginning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
also invited Zhang Yao to join him, so naturally he hoped that what he wanted would become a reality, and it was best to have some other situations, and the movie itself was as good as expected, so it would be better to mock him.
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, how can I not accept it." Zhang Yao agreed without pressure.
Guan Haifei said: "Okay, everyone will see you in Wansheng Cinema tonight, so it's decided." ”
Movie premieres, generally speaking, if they are mainstream commercial films, the theater will arrange a show at 0:00 on the premiere day, and if it is a blockbuster, it will be played in several halls at the same time, and there will be several screenings a day.
As for "Buried Alive", it is a low-cost small production, the main creator is unknown, and the only gimmick is the tragedy of the recent family destruction that has been fired.
In fact, even if the director and starring in this genre are big names, the attention it will get will only be very limited, and it has inherent limitations, which is why investors are not interested in small and medium-budget films.
The first premiere of "Buried Alive" was only scheduled at 7 o'clock in the evening, and there were only three shows a day, and the number of films scheduled was negligible.
There are a total of 28 students in Zhang Yao's class, plus Xia Yaohan and Luo Xianxian are just 30 people, Guan Haifei not only generously bought all the tickets, but also came with a cup of Coke and a bucket of popcorn.
If you buy tickets online, there will be about thirty 2D movies, which is a drop in the bucket for Guan Haifei, and the gift promised by Zhang Yao on Weibo/Weibo is actually a movie ticket, and it is only ten, and now this is also a huge amount of money for him.
Someone invited a treat, in line with the principle of not eating for nothing, Xia Yaohan took the lead in asking for a large portion of popcorn and Coke, and the others ate and drank but still couldn't keep their mouths gagged.
"It's also good to eat some popcorn, so as not to look sleepy and have nothing to do."
"This is one of the largest theaters in the district, and the result is obvious that there is only one hall arranged."
"Alas, Guan Shao, speaking of which, why didn't you charter the venue before? At least the data will look better. ”
Guan Haifei smiled and said: "Although the theater is only arranged in a small hall, it can also seat more than 100 people. ”
"Guan Shao, you want to fork in here, you can't watch the movie lively." Someone immediately shook his head.
was sneering from beginning to end, Xia Yaohan raised his eyebrows when he heard it, "Grandma, if you don't give him some color today, he won't know why the flowers are so red." ”
Seeing that she was going to beat someone, Zhang Yao hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Grandma, we are just annoyed and angry if you do it now, let's watch the movie first." ”
“****。” Dragged by Zhang Yao, Xia Yaohan still couldn't help but scold that guy.
Zhang Yao is not a master who can swallow his anger, but he really has no confidence now, and he is still very weak about what kind of results the movie can achieve.
A group of them is huge, directly accounting for one-third of the theater, Zhang Yao and they are looking forward to being able to fill it up eventually, and some people are looking forward to no one except them.
As a result, by the time the lights went out and the movie started, no one got their wish.
In addition to them, there were also thirty or forty people who came to watch the movie, and a rough estimate of the attendance rate has reached seventy percent, which is not a good result, but it is not bad.
If it is a popular blockbuster, even if it premieres at zero o'clock, it will almost always be full, and the attendance rate will slowly decrease in the future, and the attendance rate of the first show can only be said to be passing.
This is still the result of only one theater arranged, if another hall is added, it will look even more desolate, Zhang Yao sighed, but because of this, he didn't give those people a reason to mock.
"There are still a lot of people, and I don't know what the movie will be."
"That's because it's just a hall, and there's nothing to praise about it."
The dragon logo appeared on the big screen, and some people were whispering, and it didn't slow down until the subtitles began, although many people didn't have the mentality of watching the movie at all, but there were many other audiences, so they didn't deliberately make trouble.
After Starlight Media's rather beautiful logo, the list of cast members began, and Zhang Yao's name first appeared on the screen, fixed in the middle position.
The director, screenwriter, and leading actor floated by, and floated up after a second, telling the audience that Zhang Yao did all the work alone, and then Wang Lei and Xia Yaohan were also on the list.
It didn't take long for the subtitles to come out, and then it was dark, with a few quick gasps for a minute, and then silence.
The audience thought they had heard it wrong, and it took about a minute before there was a clearer coughing sound, accompanied by a few insect chirps, and gradually the wheezing sound became stronger and stronger, followed by the sound of thrashing.
"What is this, Zhang Yao, don't you even know the most basic editing?" Some people think they have caught a loophole and start lashing out.
The same goes for the rest of the audience, and there was a commotion in the movie, which was a bit hard to understand at first.
When a burst of sparks flashed, everyone knew that it was the sound of a lighter, and every time the ignition flashed, part of Zhang Yao's face flashed, and after a few times, it was finally ignited, and Zhang Yao's face gradually appeared.
At this time, the audience understood that Zhang Yao had been buried in a coffin and buried in the ground, and he couldn't see the light at all, and he could only use a lighter to illuminate it, and the darkness of nearly two minutes in front was reasonable.
Far from being a mistake, it's just the right thing to do.
The claustrophobic space, with a strip of cloth on his mouth and his hands tied, why is it so difficult to light the lighter, because the protagonist's situation is even more dangerous than imagined.
The dim firelight, helpless shouting, looks particularly infiltrating, as a thriller and suspense film, Zhang Yao has handled the opening scenes very well.
Except for those who originally came to pick the bones in the egg, the other audiences have been attracted by the movie, from the casual at the beginning to the current engrossed watching, they have been substituted into it.
In the film, Zhang Yao struggled to call for help, and the lighter went off several times because of this, and each time it went out, it fell into darkness, but now no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
Struggling, while Zhang Yao understood his own situation in the movie, he also passed this information to the audience, the coffin could not be opened at all, and it was simply impossible to rely on brute force.
This pushed the protagonist and the audience into a desperate situation, many of the audience's expressions were already solemn, and some girls even showed nervous expressions.
Tightly grasped the hearts of the audience, from which it can be seen that the result will not be too bad, Zhang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and began to look forward to it.
