Emerson Carter climbed up from the outdoor pool, jumped into the house in two of three steps, and shouted, "Lily, is it time?" ”

At this time, the room was crowded with at least 50 people, boys wearing beach pants, girls wearing bikinis, beer bottles all over the floor, mixed with used avoidance/pregnancy/condoms, this was only the second day of spring break, and the air was already filled with the sour smell of vomiting.

Emerson stepped over two "corpses" and around several strangers who were playing ******** with undressing, and then saw Lily Carter sitting at the top of the stairs. Lily had their laptops on her lap, and a group of boys around her, at least nine of them, including three girls, who had a strong suspicion that the stairs were about to collapse, leaving Emerson standing in shock.

"You're late." Andy Isaac shook his head and walked in the direction of the kitchen, with a beer in his hand and a box of leftover pizza from last night, and turned next to Lily, "Move, this is my place, mine!" ”

Looking at his best friend and his twin sister, Emerson only felt gritted his teeth, "You two traitors! "Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have found out that Lance's new work was about to be released!" ”

As he spoke, his movements were not slow at all, and before Andy, Emerson squeezed down next to Lily, which made Andy immediately shout, "Hey! Hey! Then he tried desperately to squeeze in, but apparently it was too late, and he was pitifully excluded.

In a moment's astonishment, everyone stood up and snatched out the beer and pizza in Andy's hand, looking like wolf cubs who had been hungry for a week. In the end, Andy stood in ragged clothes, wanting to cry without tears.

Emerson looked at his friend, grinned, straightened his legs, and raised an eyebrow. Andy didn't say a word, he just sat on Emerson's knee, and then got under Lily's left arm, even if he was ravaged by Lily's cheek, he swore to die, and actually occupied a position.

The annual spring break officially began yesterday, Emerson and a group of college classmates came to Miami for a vacation, and Lily and Andy also came with their classmates.

Emerson found this promotional video when he visited the Yahoo forum yesterday, and it was originally just an advertising link, "Welcome to Sin City", and he saw that the comic-style font was very distinctive, and he clicked on it out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to see this video.

After a careful Google search, Emerson quickly found the relevant information. On March 3, at 12 p.m., the Sin City website was officially launched, and the original version was very rudimentary, with only a poster and a trailer, and no other links. However, the website will be updated every two hours, and it can be seen that the website is in full swing.

The video was not only posted on several large websites such as Yahoo and Google, but also on several forums where comic book fans gathered, and landed on MTV, which is the most popular station for teenagers, and was played on a loop twelve times in 24 hours. Such a propaganda strategy is really ingenious, almost no mainstream media is used, MTV with teenagers as the main audience has limited influence and is very limited, the advertising cost is naturally not high, the whole publicity cost can be described as low, but it makes full use of the power of the online platform to spread the strong visual message.

The effect is also very obvious, in just 24 hours, the official website of "Sin City" has reached 400,000 visits, and the first version of the trailer has exceeded 100,000 views. This is only the first day of publicity, and it is conceivable that the effect will grow exponentially faster with the opening of the propaganda strategy little by little.

Like, now. The second version of the trailer is about to be revealed, and many people are already looking forward to it.

"You say, is the second edition a man or a woman?" Andy asked suddenly curiously.

"Men of course." Lily said it as a matter of course, but as soon as these words came out, all the people around began to discuss, and the answers of "men" and "women" were flying all over the sky, and everyone was strongly expressing their opinions, such a lively form was really no one expected,

"There is no gender distinction in the Sin City story, and both men and women have great power. Maybe it's a transgender/sexual/human? Emerson said aloud, and the voices paused for half a second, and then the discussion began again. Many people have read the original comics of Sin City, and for their generation, comics are still a representative of otaku geeks, but the sense of label is not so heavy.

"Is the second version trailer out?" A boy ran over excitedly, ignoring the dense crowd in front of him, and looked directly from above, like a giraffe turning back, and his whole face completely occupied the screen.

This move immediately aroused public anger, and everyone pushed the boy out of the air at once, and the whole person fell into the sofa, with his feet in the air, causing everyone to laugh.

"It's out! It's out! Lily shouted, and in an instant everyone focused their attention, only to see that on the website screen, the second skull also appeared with a red cross, which meant that it was time to click, "I'll click!" Lily finished speaking, but did not do it immediately, paused for a moment, the air seemed to condense, and then Lily quickly clicked the right button.

It was still a black screen, the light point in the middle slowly bloomed, and finally the light and shadow reflected a dilapidated room, a worn-out mattress was placed on the ground, cotton and springs had been exposed, a man like a monster sat in the corner of the mattress, the strong muscles, the strong physique made people naturally think of the Hulk, he alone could crowd the whole room, the patched cheeks were even more unrecognizable, and the face was even more terrifying because it was stained with blood.

Just by appearing, a powerful visual impact comes to the face.

"Mickey Rourke!" Someone gasped and shouted in surprise, but everyone around them said in unison, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh In an instant, it was quiet again.

Mikey sat quietly like this, wiping the blood on his palms, arms, and chest with a dirty sweat towel little by little, and the blood that was still flowing slowly on his cheeks made him look even more disgusting, and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, the looming cigarette butt seemed to be the only light source in the whole room, making his face flicker.

At this moment, the sweat towel kept wiping some pimples, originally thought it was dirt, but when I looked closely, those were broken flesh and blood, and the strong feeling of nausea instantly hit my heart. Under the mattress, bright red blood gushed out, drowning the blurred pieces of flesh and Mickey's scarred feet, and the large expanses of blood gave the whole black and white picture an indescribable thick color, as if the whole world was about to be submerged in blood.

Suddenly, Mikey raised his head, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the screen, which made people shudder. Mickey took the cigarette butt with his left hand, and with a flick of it, the cigarette butt smashed towards the screen, and finally landed directly on the screen, burning a hole, as if the entire picture scroll was burning, and the strong sense of realism made everyone can't help but tilt their heads back.

When a large hole was burned in the scroll, Mikey's face was revealed again, and Mu Ne said, "I have killed countless people. ”

Then, the picture drowned out the bright red tongue of fire, engulfing everything. The line appeared on the screen again, "See you on April Fool's Day." ”

The short video is still controlled to about 30 seconds, which is the same as the first version of the trailer, but the information revealed in the picture is very rich and thick, and the characters jump on the page. The strong visual impact is deeply imprinted in the mind.

"Wow, Lance is really a genius! Oh, God! Oh, God! Andy's voice was completely untenable, and the man behind him shouted again, "This is Mickey Rourke, I know him, how did he become like this, like a monster, oh my God!" ”

Just as the discussion was about to start, Lily raised her voice to cut off, "Wait, the website has been updated." Lily's words focused everyone's attention again, Lily nodded at the first skull position, this time it was not a video, but a drop-down menu, showing three options: video, photo, and comic, Lily thought about it, clicked on the photo first, and then the page jumped.

Suddenly, a large number of Jessica Alba's set stills appeared on the screen, including life side shots, official stills, etc., at least thirty, which is very rich in content.

Curious, Lily clicked on the homepage again, and a lamentation came from behind her, "Eh, eh, wait, wait." Lily rolled her eyes - this group of men, but they didn't care at all, they clicked directly into the comic option, and then they saw that there were more than a dozen pages of comic books inside, with "Nancy" written on the page, and the first one clicked on, and it was a pure comic.

Lily looked at it briefly, and her pupils began to dilate, "Jesus Christ, this is ...... This is Nancy's biography! Lily looked around and gasped, "This is Frank Miller's drawing!" Lily turned her head to look at Emerson next to her, "Is there a personal biography of Nancy in the original comics?" ”

Emerson thought for a moment and shook his head. But then, Emerson realized what this meant, which means: Frank created a separate character comic biography for the "Sin City" movie, so is it Frank's biography that drove the completion of the movie script, or is it Frank who wrote the movie script after the movie script is completed?

Emerson looked at Lily, and their eyes sparkled with excitement: the latter, they believed it was the latter, because the script adaptation of the film was in charge of the one called Lancelot Strello! (To be continued.) )
