I remember when I was in middle school, color television was popularized. And with that, there are some video recorder equipment. For example, in the early videos, I saw the first naked woman in my life. Later, VCD appeared, and if anyone had such a machine at that time, it would definitely be regarded as a local tyrant, because at that time, the price was very high. And after I went to high school, DVDs became popular, and in many small stores near my home, there were small shops that rented and sold CDs, and I was a person who liked to patronize these small shops, a disc, a dollar, and rented for a day, at that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, so when you know that a certain film is being staged, but you don't want to go to the cinema to watch it, it is a good way to choose to rent a disc and go home.

But at that time, I often believed the posters on the cover of the disc, which led me to rent a pirated disc. The so-called piracy is not just a reproduction of the image quality, but someone really took a camera or something else and secretly shot it in the cinema. I remember very well that the first pirated disc I watched was "Hero" shot by director Zhang Yimou that year, and throughout the film, I was accompanied by the heavy echo in the movie theater as a reverberation, and the picture of crooked and oblique ghosting, and from time to time because of the focus relationship, there was a blur of people around when they saw a wonderful place, and suddenly someone stood up and walked in front of the screen.

So when Mr. Lee talked about their movie theater, I think I could imagine that kind of scene at that time. And the reason why I asked him was that I was more concerned about whether those who watched the movie saw a person walking past, or just a shadow.

But Mr. Lee said that they didn't even have the person they complained about didn't even exist, so I asked him what else happened after that. Mr. Li told me that after receiving the complaint, because no one could be found, and no one took the initiative to admit it, as a theater company, he could only apologize to those who watched the movie. For this matter, they also gathered the employees for a meeting and said how to avoid such a situation as much as possible. So some people proposed that each screening hall should be equipped with a professional staff when the movie is played, so as to maintain order on the scene, and propose corrections to some improper behaviors, even if they can't be corrected, we can at least know who did it. The proposal was unanimously adopted. After a few days of trialing, they thought it worked well, but just when they felt that they should keep it up, that night, the same midnight movie, the same screening room, there was a problem again.

Mr. Li told us that this time there was a young staff member in the hall, a girl, and he had been guarding the edge of the passage where everyone was going to leave after the screening, maybe she had watched these movies countless times, but she was not tired anyway and played with her mobile phone there. Mr. Li said that when the second part of the three movies was about to end, there was a burst of boos from the audience, and some people were saying, "It's dangling." "Someone else, is the projectionist dozing? Anyway, someone started to start, and everyone began to heckle. So our staff wanted to see what was going on, and at this time we found that the picture on the big screen had been tilted about 30 degrees, so that one side was not within the scope of the screen at all.

I smiled and said to Mr. Li, I think the audience's complaints are very normal, if it were me, maybe something ugly would come out at this time. Mr. Li nodded, symbolically echoed me, and continued, but the problem was that there was no projectionist at all for that midnight movie!

Hu Zongren asked Mr. Li and said, "If there is no projectionist, how did your movie come out?" Mr. Li said that this is the case, because the movie at midnight is a preferential benefit for those night owls in the movie theater, and it can be regarded as a promotional strategy, but in any case, it is on the big night after all. You said that if we wanted to leave a staff member in one of the halls, it would already be considered to be asking the family to work overtime, and if we also left the projectionist, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so hard. Mr. Li told us that the projector does not need to be a cumbersome operation, the program is all set, and now it is long past the age of film, who can't double-click on the computer screen to play the film, so their cinema projectionists, at most, just make the best adjustment to the distance of the projector through the window.

Mr. Li explained to us that there are some films nowadays with different formats. For example, Indian films are different from those in the United States, and those in China, South Korea and Russia are different, but the size of the screen is fixed, and at this time, some distance adjustments need to be made. That night, in the screening room, we all went home after the projectionist was adjusted, and it was only time for the movie to start, and our staff would play it. That night, there was no one in the screening room at all.

When I used to go to the cinema with people, I always liked to pick the back row, because the back row was often higher and there were fewer people. I especially prefer the middle of the back row because it happens to be the best angle to see the movie, and I can see the light from the projector above me through that small window. When I was a child, I was naughty and ignorant, and if there were few people in the cinema, I would pretend to be careless and put my hand on those light curtains, and then leave a huge handprint of mine on the screen. And whenever I do this, I always hear someone scolding me through that little hole.

So until then, I always thought that there was someone in that little room, and there had to be someone.

Mr. Li went on to say that when the staff member saw that the screen was crooked, he was thinking about what was going on, when suddenly there was a huge human head, which flashed by, almost dominating the entire screen. Hu Zongren asked him, could it be that the audience in the last rows stood up in grief and indignation? Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Definitely not, because everyone has seen that the head is upside down."

I gasped, I was a little overwhelmed by this sudden shock, in order to cover up my panic, I quickly said to Mr. Li, so many people are in the theater, this strange appearance must have been seen by everyone, you have been complained again, right? Mr. Li said that it is very strange to say, everyone must have seen the black shadow of the person's head at that time, but few people seemed to notice that the person's head was upside down, maybe they also noticed it, probably thinking that they were dazzled. Mr. Li went on to say that even our staff at the time didn't think about it in detail, but immediately ran to the screening room, intending to check whether the machine was crooked.

Mr. Li said that our projectors are fixed with a tripod and the nuts are screwed, unless it is a violent collision, maybe it can be crooked. When our staff saw that it was crooked, she thought it was a mouse or something, but when she was in a hurry to fix the machine again, she suddenly heard the audience in the theater start to make a loud noise, and someone was scolding: "it!" The whole screen is now black! "It's dark, let's turn on the light!" So our staff member wanted to see through that opening to see what was going on outside, but when she looked out through the small opening, she found that it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

Hu Zongren said that the movie theater was originally dark, what is so strange. Mr. Li said that even if it is dark, the emergency exit sign on the wall will still emit a faint light. Our staff member didn't see anything, so she tried to get closer. After saying this, Mr. Li probably wanted us to be more immersed, so he leaned slightly towards me and Hu Zongren. Then he said, she found that it was not black at all, but blocked by something black. The black thing is a woman's long hair.

I thought about that scene at that time, and if it were me, I guess I would be scared half to death. Mr. Li said, and those hairs are a person's back with loose hair, and when our staff member just reacted and screamed, the body suddenly turned around and dropped a few inches, so in the whole small square hole, there was a woman's face.

Mr. Li said that I also listened to the staff member himself after the fact, and I didn't see it in person, so she told us that the face looked very white, and it was a little sickly. The cheeks are thin and slightly sunken. The mouth is half-open, but the corners of the mouth are facing down, it looks a little distressed, the eyes are also very hollow, the eye circles are very dark, there are bangs so you can't see the hair, that expression looks very scary under the circumstances, because the woman has a half-open mouth, and her lips are still moving slightly, I don't know what she wants to say.

Mr. Li said that the staff member was so frightened that she fell to the ground, covered her eyes with her hands and began to scream, trying to attract other colleagues with screams, but there were few people at night, and the sound of the movie in the screening room was so loud that no one heard it, and it didn't take long for her to feel her fingers covering her eyes, as if they had been touched by a cold object, and then the thing began to break her fingers hard.

Mr. Li said that the staff member described the cold thing at that time to the touch as much like chicken skin that had been dead and had been left outdoors for a long time.
