Chapter 046: Three Forks - Before the Premiere

Because it is an R-rated horror film, the premiere of "Fatal Bend" starts directly at midnight.

"Why did you choose this movie theater for its premiere? Didn't you say that Mr. Westwood won 2,000 screens? Wouldn't it be good to choose a better movie theater!?"

Standing beside Charlotte, Charlize grunted with some dissatisfaction.

Charlotte understands Charlize's mood very well, after all, although the movie theater called "Night Stalker" in front of her is well maintained, it is really not very high-end in decoration, and the size of the screening room is also small, it really doesn't look like a suitable place for movie premieres.

In fact, when producer Westwood proposed to him that the premiere of "Fatal Bend" be held in this theater, he was not very receptive.

But then Westwood told him that this small movie theater called "Night Stalker" has a very special place in the hearts of horror movie lovers in the Los Angeles area - it seems that watching a midnight show in this movie theater is three times more terrifying.

While it's unknown why such rumors are circulating, it's true that this cinema has a higher midnight attendance than other cinemas – which is supported by previous box office data.

So, Charlotte finally accepted the suggestion of Mr. Producer and set the premiere here.

In addition, Charlotte's investigation also found that the movie theater called "Night Stalker" was actually built on the site of a church. And this is very beneficial to Charlotte's follow-up plan.

However, Charlotte did not tell Charlize beside him these reasons. Because he knows that the heroine of his own film is not complaining about which cinema the premiere was held, but about the premiere itself.

- According to the plan, the premiere of "Fatal Bend" did not arrange the usual red carpet links, but just let the main creators show up and it was over.

And the reason why it is so shabby, although there are also reasons why the crew does not have stars at all, but more importantly, it is because Mr. Producer, when he was the behind-the-scenes driver of the Allen incident, flew too much with the rhythm, and accidentally spent seventy-seven or eighty-eight on the publicity expenses - there was no money, so naturally the premiere could only be a little shabby.

"It's a pity! I've been looking forward to walking the red carpet for a long time! I also gave Penny a few movie tickets, just hoping that she can see me as the heroine......"

Obviously, what really made Charlize unhappy was that she had no chance to walk the red carpet at all, which made her, who had been mentally prepared for this for more than two months, feel a sense of depression in the air.

"Trust me, Sally, you'll have plenty of red carpet opportunities in the future, I promise!"

Charlotte comforted the blonde girl in front of her who was pouting like a child who hadn't eaten candy, but she kept thinking about her plan in her heart......

"By the way, Charlotte, why did you ask me to prepare two tickets for consecutive shows? Even if you want to rush the box office, it's useless to rely on this!"

Charlize quickly returned to normal, but the question behind her still made Charlotte cry and laugh.

"Have you forgotten the second script I gave you? The performance on it can only be seen by watching two shows in a row. ”

"You meanβ€”"

Charlize suddenly realized.

"By the way, did you bring the bottle I told you to bring?"

"Bring it!"

Charlotte nodded.

"Then let's start preparing!"

At the same time, at the door of this movie theater called "Night Stalkers", four tall, short, fat and thin young men are hesitating.

"Leonard, are you sure you want to use the four tickets Penny gave us to see Fatal Bend?"

The tall young man asked his short friend beside him.

"Don't worry, Sheldon!"

The short young Leonard looked a little impatient,

"Even if the movie really had something to do with a serial killer, it would have been in the Bians Valley as mentioned in the news, not the movie theater. ”

"That's right, don't worry, Sheldon!"

As short as Leonard and as skinny as Sheldon - in general, even Howard, who was one size smaller than both of them, agreed with Leonard's claims,

"However, I'm curious, why did Penny suddenly get four movie tickets, but instead of reading them herself, they gave them to us?"

Because the heroine of this film is a friend of Penny's, she used to work in a restaurant with Penny, and she gave Penny the ticket. ”

It was the fourth Indian young man with a little dark skin who answered, Rajesh,

Penny is happy about her best friend's success, but she is afraid that she will be jealous, so she decides not to do it. ”

"So you gave us the ticket?"

Leonard suddenly realized, and then looked at Rajesh with the wrong eyes,

"Wait, how do you know that!?"

Rajesh smiled wryly,

"If you can't open your mouth to speak in front of women, they will sometimes treat you as a natural person to talk to, like a large pillow - what can I do? I'm helpless!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Leonard patted Rajesh on the shoulder, who shrugged his shoulders,

"I'm used to it. But do we really want to watch this horror movie called "Fatal Bend"?"

Rajesh glanced at the poster hanging on the wall and unconsciously flinched back, which made Howard, who often mingled with him, laugh at him.

"I remember you saying you're not afraid of American horror movies anymore!?"

"Of course I'm not afraid!"

Rajesh's answer was calm,

"But my bladder is afraid. ”

β€œ......”

"I think we'd better get in there, the premiere is about to start. ”

The first four comics can be regarded as in!

Emily despises this kind of behavior of watching a horror movie and having several people in groups.

- You're four big men! Are you the kind of little girl who even has to go to the bathroom?

Well, Emily herself, who despises others so much, is a real little girl. She just turned 18 this year, and it has only been a year since she was able to legally watch this kind of R-rated film.

- Of course, if you count the illegal time, then Emily's R-rated movie viewing history will be much longer.

No way, who let Emily's father be in the video rental business, and his biggest hobby on weekdays is to eat while watching horror movie videos! With such a father, it is normal for Emily to become a horror movie lover.

"Emily, Quentin Tarantino worked under me back then, do you want his autograph?"

Her father often braged to Emily, but the rebellious girl never believed it. She prefers to watch horror movies alone to experience the feeling of heart palpitations.

"If it weren't for the overwhelming reports of successive discoveries of bodies in the Bians Valley some time ago, I wouldn't have noticed this film!"

Looking at the poster on the wall, Emily thought to herself, but suddenly noticed that there was a very inconspicuous line of small words written under the poster-

"Watch two shows in a row and you'll discover more hidden stories. ”

- What is it? Marketing ploy? Or is it ......

Emily finally shook her head,

"Whatever! The premiere is about to start, hurry up and buy a bucket of popcorn to get in!"
