As the producer of "Fatal Bend", Anthony Westwood's life is not as colorful and thrilling as that of the director and heroine of his own film, from last night to now, except for a few hours of rest in between, Mr. Producer has been waiting boredly by the telephone, waiting for news from everywhere.

Of course, in good conscience, the feeling of "boredom" is only the opinion of outsiders. In Mr. Westwood's own view, he is in the midst of an uphill battle, and the movie "Fatal Bend" is his army, and the nearly 2,000 screens across the United States are the battlefields they want to conquer one by one.

"I now finally get a sense of General Eisenhower's mood in the period before and after Operation Overlord began. ”

Although this is a bit of a shame, it is the truest portrayal of Mr. Westwood's heart at this moment. In fact, less than 17 hours have passed since the official release of "Fatal Bend", and he has already felt his heart beating too fast several times and wants to swallow emergency medicine.

"After this time, I will definitely retire and go home!"

Mr. Producer, who didn't know that he had already set a FLAG for himself, looked at the various reports in front of him with full attention, but his expression gradually relaxed.

"Although the statistics are not complete, judging from the results of the current survey, this time it should be a success!"

In 1994, Rotten Tomatoes had not yet been established, and IMDB was far away in the UK, and it had just been formalized, and the North American cinema chain was not yet able to quickly count the box office and word-of-mouth of the film through the Internet. But even so, using relatively primitive sampling surveys and telephone statistics, it still doesn't take long for the filmmaker to get an overview of the movie's release-

"Attendance was amazing, especially at midnight, when some places were full. Supposedly, this should be thanks to Allen's bastard, but the problem is that many places are full of second games, could it be that the easter egg Charlotte said really works?"

Mr. Westwood, as a producer, of course, has also seen the dailies and the edited version, but because he was discussing some things with Charlotte at the time, he skipped a few shots of Alexis appearing, which made him not appreciate the magical second-brush special effects, and only thought that Charlotte set up something in the movie that the audience needs to watch a few more times before they can notice.

But even so, he realized that Charlotte's little trick seemed to have succeeded.

"Whatever!

As a producer, Mr. Westwood is a result supremacist through and through, and he was contemplating whether to add a fire to the box office when his assistant ran in panting, waving a stack of newspapers.

"Good news, boss! The FBI has made a big discovery in the Bianers Valley!!"

"Big Discovery!?"

Thinking of a hidden worry, Mr. Producer couldn't help but feel nervous. He quietly took the newspaper from his assistant, looked at it carefully, and relaxed again.

"They found a cave full of missing people's bodies in the Bians Valley!?"

Westwood's old face almost burst into laughter,

"That's good news! Absolutely good news!!"

Mr. Producer felt for a moment that he was simply God's favorite,

"With this news, combined with the current reputation of the movie, I can definitely make the box office explosion of "Fatal Bend"!"

- but before that, it seems like he really needs to take some first-aid medication.

So excited!

Agent Kate wasn't in the same good mood as Mr. Westwood.

Although the discovery of a large number of bodies provides more clues for the FBI's forensic officers, it is bound to attract the attention of the media. The series of cases related to Rians Valley did not disappear from the eyes of the media, and now that it comes out again, Kate can already imagine the next scene of the flood of reporters.

"Spare me!"

As a capable FBI agent, Kate Todd is not afraid of bullets, but she is really frightened in the face of the flashing spotlight of the news media.

"Especially since the murderer has not been caught!"

For the media, the serial killer who never catches it is simply a luxurious feast, but for the FBI, it is a complete disgrace. If it was the Hoover era......

Well, if it was the Hoover era, there would not be a single journalist, no media that would have eaten the guts of a bear's heart and a leopard and dared to report on the failure of the FBI. Not afraid to receive FedEx?

"I hope the media will smell it later!"

Kate has a doughnut in her mouth, instant coffee in her hand, and a completely meaningless prayer in her heart. There was a stack of newspapers in front of her, apparently trying to find out about the enemy before the "battle" -

"The FBI worked in vain, and another month has passed, but it still hasn't even found the shadow of the "corner killer"!"

- You still need to tell me this!?

Kate thought hatefully, but her mood relaxed a little. Obviously, this newspaper has not received the news yet, otherwise it would never publish such a text that is essentially equivalent to nonsense.

- By the way, "Corner Killer" is exactly the nickname given by the media to the serial killer in the Lines Valley. And the source is the movie of the deceased who was first discovered, Alan Mike Eloy.

"The midnight premiere of "Fatal Corner" was a huge success, is this the charm of the movie, or is it a bonus to the "Killer of the Corner"?"

- A bonus to the "Corner Killer", of course!

Kate remembers very well how desperately the crew of "Fatal Corner" hyped Allen's case at the beginning, and she even suspected that the nickname "Corner Killer" was also given by them, in order to rub the heat of the incident and promote the movie.

"Is it the advancement of technology, or the curse of the previous director and heroine?"

- Ghost, what does this mean?

For Kate, who had been busy searching all night and didn't have time to watch the midnight show, she had no idea what the ghost in "Fatal Bend" was. This curiosity made her unconsciously read this report, but the result was even more confusing.

"The second time you watch it, you will see a different picture, and even cause the whole plot to change?"

Kate didn't know how to do it, but she was really interested. She flipped through the newspapers one by one, searching for information related to Fatal Bend.

Unfortunately, most of the newspapers either focused on the popular midnight box office and decent word-of-mouth of "Fatal Bend", or simply focused on a series of cases in Bianers Valley. Kate never found the answer she was looking for, until—

"The mystery of the second brush of "Fatal Bend" - this is a very successful application of the visual persistence effect of the human eye, but unfortunately it can only be an occasional phenomenon, and I am afraid that even the director of the film, Charlotte Booth, will have a hard time recreating this effect......"

Later in this report, he gave a detailed explanation of the second brush effect of "Fatal Bend", and finally came to the conclusion -

Because when shooting the female ghost, the photographer repeatedly used fast and slow lenses, coupled with the influence of a series of factors such as the scene, forming an occasional hypnotic effect, so that most of the audience who watched the movie seriously could unconsciously remember some pictures that their eyes did not notice.

And viewers with these memories, if they watch "Fatal Bend" for the second time in a short period of time, they will "see" the hidden ghosts because of the intertwined effects of memories and the hidden low-frame images in the movie.

“...... This may just be an easter egg hidden by Mr. Director in the movie, which originally required the audience to watch it repeatedly, and some people may be able to find out, but because of this wonderful accident, nearly 80% of the audience who watched it for the second time could see the ghost. I have to say that this is an unexpected little surprise from the god of movies. ”

At the end of the report, the reporter also specially pulled a very authoritative figure to testify-

Sheldon Cooper, a professor at Caltech, is a genius with an IQ of 187.

This man also watched the midnight show of "Fatal Bend", and in fact, a large part of the conclusions in the newspapers were drawn by him. There are such figures who support the arguments of this newspaper, and that should be true, right?

I have to say that although anti-intellectualism is prevalent in the land of America, everyone still knows to go to smart people when it comes to things that use their brains.

"That's interesting!"

At this time, Kate, who is obsessed with newspapers, has forgotten her purpose of turning the newspaper in the first place, and she secretly wonders if she will also watch the movie "Fatal Bend" tonight?

Well, you have to watch it twice!!
