Chapter 277: We Robbed the Bank

Under the night sky, the exorcism battle began, and a movie theater in a major city in North America ushered in a midnight audience, and the theater managers were happy and nervous.

Most of the audience has clear expectations on their faces, they are not random viewers who come to watch a random movie, they are coming for a specific film!

An exorcism movie.

Yes, the midnight show is the best season to watch horror movies, and the vast majority of viewers are rushing for an exorcism horror movie, and among the three, maybe this one, maybe that one......

"I want two Exorcism Videos, thank you. ”

"Trouble to give us four tickets for tet. ”

""Exorcism video, I want ten tickets. ”

Ten tickets!?Seattle AMC Pacific Studios, the conductor looked at the curly-haired white man at the front of the line, in his twenties, handed over a stack of small-denomination bills, and knew at a glance that he was the leader of a group of teenagers who were not old enough to watch R-rated movies, "What about your companions?"

"Over there, I'm 21 years old. The curly-haired boy quickly showed his driver's license, "See, I'm 21 years old." Those people were under the age of 17, and I was their guardian. Seeing the conductor pause, he was a little anxious, "They have been looking forward to it for a long time." ”

The conductor looked at a group of young men and women not far away, shrugged his shoulders, took the money and gave him ten tickets, "Take it." He also reminded: "This movie is very scary, but it's not real, it's just a movie." Pay attention to safety when you watch, don't freak yourself out of anything, there are vomit bags over there, bring a few. ”

"Oh, thank you. The boy took the ticket and hurriedly left, as if he was afraid that the ticket would be snatched back. As soon as he walked over, the group of teenagers immediately cheered, laughed and walked to the screening room: "I really bought it!", "I said he looked like he was thirty years old!"

How could the conductor not know that the boy was not 21 years old, and he was probably not old, and he just looked old.

A few more tickets were sold, almost all of them tet, and at this time there was a young and fat boy in line, already holding a bucket of popcorn, "I want a ticket to "Exorcism Video." ”

"I'm sorry. The conductor looked at the computer screen, "This one is sold out, you can book tickets for the next one, or choose another movie, you know we have two new exorcism movies in the studio, and they still have a lot of tickets......"

"I want to watch 'The Exorcism Video'!" the young fat boy glared and said, "Why is it sold out so quickly?

"Uh, really...... No. The conductor reluctantly said, "TET tickets sell very well." ”

The fat boy gasped in frustration: "Then you should give it one more hall." Many young people in the queue behind also exclaimed, "There are no tickets for the first game of TET?", "What's the matter? This is not the beginning!" Some boos rang out, and someone said dissatisfiedly: "That guy just bought ten tickets in one go." ”

Seeing that it was about to turn into a riot, the middle-aged manager in the suit who was bald walked over quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, that's the case, our cinema has an online ticket pre-sale service, and some of the tickets for each of the TET night and midnight shows this weekend have already been sold, so they are selling very quickly." But I'm going to introduce you to another exorcism horror film, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose......"

β€œscrew-you,dude!” The fat boy scolded, and there were other complaints around him: "suck." β€γ€β€œitβ€˜s-not-fair。 ”......

"yes, it's so unfair to pre-sell online! Another group of nearly a dozen young people who came to see the TET also said, "Let's not look at the TEOER, it's the enemy of the TET." "Hehe, look at that poster, you know it's a bad movie at first glance. "Didn't those film critics just say it wasn't good-looking? "Cheating money!"

The former bald manager rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Or "The Exorcist's Gaiden"?"

"Shhh!!h

At the same time, the TET screening room was already full, and the audience was almost of all ages in the past, and there was a sense of tension before the film even opened.

In another theater not far away, you may be able to hear the sound of tet over there, because the space here is too quiet, and less than one-third of the audience is seated, and they are still looking forward to the teoer they are going to watch.

But look around, where are the people? Aren't there many people who want to see exorcism?

Across the DPTTE screening hall not far away, it was even more empty and quiet, with less than ten people in a hundred seats, super hardcore of the "Exorcist" series (there are not many fans who are willing to watch another version after watching the prequel), random audiences, and fools......

"I heard that in the end, the heroine died. ”

"Oh come on, dude, don't spoil it! you've ruined my night!"

This night is a night of horror for many, many people.

Cities are full, and there are bursts of screams!

There was no applause, but tears.

There were no cheers, but there were sighs.

There is entertainment, there are thoughts, there are sad songs, and there is the imprint of the soul:

the-exorcism-tapes

......

Someone is robbing a bank!

"Hello, we don't want to hurt anyone, it's better not to be our enemy. No one moved, no one was hurt, whoever moved, who, died. ”

I'm talking about the head of distribution at Sony Pictures, Roy Brewer. It's Sony Pictures CEO, Michael Linton.

It's about the midnight premiere of "Emily Rose's Exorcism." Failure, failure, failure! It's about word of mouth, advance box office, and real box office...... The expected numbers were not reached, and there was no envisaged inextricable fight, or even victory over the opponent......

"Really...... What the hell ......."

"Crazy, I've got a crazy movie! It's a damn crazy movie...... Crazy!"

Every now and then in the film industry, every company wants to be crazy about their own films, but this time it's not Sony, this time they're mad!

He swallowed, then smiled wryly in embarrassment. Talking Warner Bros. head of distribution, Dan Fellman. The action of fishing in troubled waters seems to have only pushed the opponent and helped others create a market hot spot, a lot of media topics, and a lot of audience attention...... Then, he stared dryly at the others and counted the money.

I'm talking about the midnight premiere box office of "The Exorcist Gaiden"!

Who are you looking at?

If you move your gaze up a little bit from the middle of the list, move it a little more, it's faster, move it a little more...... No?, it's the highest there, see?

See...... Miracles! Movie miracles are happening!

A miracle that belongs to someone else.

"It shouldn't have been 500, alas...... Damn, damn "Exorcism Video"!"

There's a hot spot there, and there's nothing stopping the audience from watching it, r-rated, that's a kind of respect for a horror movie!

And, thank you.

Without your help in opening the vault, how could it be so golden?

"Thank you, but, it's all ours. ”

Bang!

"Why? ”

Ecstatic! exhaled and raised eyebrows! said Lionsgate CEO Jon Fairheimer and distribution director Tom Odenberg...... It's about every member of the tet camp! Laughter, it's their voices, high-fives, their movements, the smoke that blows away the muzzles, it's their demeanor!

Those people who are squatting in the corner, if you want to tremble, tremble!

That doesn't count.

Really, I don't lie to you.

"Remember, our name is ......"

"The Thriller"?no!"Saw Strike"?no!"Blair the Witch"?no!"The Exorcist" prequel, outfall, sequel? No, no!

We only have one name. Yes, it was we who robbed the banks, yes, it was we who spread our wings in the first place, yes, it was we who scared the whole world.

We are called:

the-exorcism-tapes

......

β€œcut!!!”

June 3 is also the final day of "Little Sunshine Beauty". In the past few days, the crew has completed the filming of the beauty pageant scene without danger, and today they will go out on location and shoot the final ending scene in the dining area of a roadside restaurant near the hotel. After a morning and half an afternoon of shooting, the excitement finally sounded.

"It's a very good one, it's over, it's over, our finale shots are done!"

The set set set off a cheer of joy, whether it is a superstar like Hanks and Roberts, or a child like Abigier, or Tim Ross, Paul Dano, or Maurer, Donald Burt, Jennifer Anderson and other offline staff, everyone is laughing at the moment!

This incredible and unprecedented genius project, after two months of intense shooting, every day is a struggle against time, and today, on schedule!

has filmed enough material, the flesh, blood, bones, and soul of a good movie.

The blue of the sky reflected the bright smile of Ye Wei, he walked into the performance area with his hands outstretched, walked to the wooden dining table, and hugged Hanks who got up.

"Thank you, Tom, I can get this far, how can I not thank you for the great help you have given me?

"However, even if I don't give you a chance, you are not destined to be ordinary, and we are all lucky in this matter. Hanks patted him on the shoulder and smiled with emotion.

"Thanks, Julia, I'm such a bastard to make your comeback half a year after giving birth, two busy months, losing the most precious two months with the baby. I really don't know what to say, sorry, thank you!

"Stinky boy, of course I lost a lot by making this movie of yours, but I also gained a lot, haha, you keep up the good work!" Roberts hugged him lightly and kissed him on the cheek, a sweet smile on his sign.

"Thank you, Tim, you have a great look...... Thank you, thank you!"

Ye Wei hugged Tim Ross, boxed with Dano, lifted Abigier and spun around, put it down, the excitement and joy in his heart were really hard to express, looking at the set of laughter, the guys who have worked together for a long time, go to his directorial authority, go to his on-set etiquette, go to his go!

He suddenly clenched his fists, jumped high, shook his fists, and shouted "Yaha!!!

Abigier also laughed and danced, Ye Wei jumped around her like a fight, and everyone applauded, raised their fists, and laughed!

When you are young, you can jump if you want!

......

"Dance! I don't have much to do but dance! I dance when I'm in a bad mood!"

- Yunik Kuhler blog post, June 3, 23:10

Just as the release day of TET was about to pass, the mysterious genius updated the third diary, which made fans excited!

What does Cooler mean!?

Get up on the wrong side of the bed?

"Hahaha!" all the fans laughed, is it because they can't bear to see the miserable situation of their opponents?

And the media know that in the controversy of "The Wedding is Coming" vs "Napoleon", Kuhler is on Napoleon's side!

The incident originated from last night's June 2 MTV channel broadcast this year's MTV Movie Awards ceremony, the world suddenly saw that "Napoleon" won three awards and became the big winner of the night, and Ye Wei became the biggest loser.

Although he is handsome and showy, he will happily celebrate every time someone wins an award, but the result is a qiΔ“, and in today's media reports, he is mentioned as "In the confrontation with Napoleon, VIY is completely inferior", "The whole ceremony 'wedding god' did his best work, blessing", "The prodigy is feverish"......

Today is definitely a festive festival for the blacks, and it is indispensable to make jokes and even ridicule on the Internet, and some gossip tabloids broke the news that Viy accosted Lindsay Lohan, but was responded to coldly, and the insider said that "he asked Lindsay for his phone number again and again, but she had no interest in him".

Some people lamented that VIY should win a prize, whichever is fine, while others shook their heads and said no, the current result is the best.

At this moment, Yunik Kuller's attitude is clear.

"Dance! I don't have much to do but dance! I dance when I'm in a bad mood!"

......

The news of the announcement of the completion of "Sunshine Xiaomei" caused media reports, first Ye Wei announced on his blog, and revealed that he was going to take a good rest for a week, on the one hand, busy with the completion of this school year, on the other hand, save energy, and then start the post-production of LMS.

These are not the most interesting things, and he concludes this journal with a rather meaningful sentence: "Buddy, you-wanna-dance?let's-dance!"

Do you want to play tricks with me?

What does viy mean!?Who do you mean?Yunik Kuller?

A war of words looms between geniuses...... No, no, the media reporters saw the mystery, and viy wanted to take advantage of the situation and hype, but who cares about viy now? What does it matter what he says? What does it matter if the LMS is finished?

This week, right now! The whole world only cares about Kuller, only cares about tet!

When the June 3 box office charts on boxofficemojo were released, the media was in an uproar! The whole of Hollywood was shaken, it was a huge earthquake that could destroy the old days, and since then, there is a lot to change in the film industry......

Spike !!

This exorcism battle, after only a very short time, has already been divided, and "Exorcism Video" killed the other two exorcism films in seconds with an absolute advantage!

Nothing can stop it from creating a miracle that is amazing in the world, and nothing can stop Yunik Kuhler from becoming a genius in the world.

The earth will not explode either, the question is not who can stop him, but when he will stop himself!

......

"Master, let's be honest with you, I didn't expect it, really, it was beyond my expectations. ”

"It's okay if you don't pretend? Listen to me, you're already cool, and if you pretend again, it won't be cool, so don't pretend to me now! I really want to strangle you. ”

"Not really, I'm a little scared too. I'm very optimistic about the pseudo-documentary market, and I'm confident in the quality of TET. But at the beginning, I thought it would be good if the total box office could be tens of millions, and then the response was great, so I thought there would be 30 million, right? In the second week, I adjusted it to 50 million, and now it is ...... I didn't think of it. That's life chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like. ”

"You kid is rich, is it right to cooperate in dividends?

"Hahaha, that's it, I'm going to buy a lot of things, I'm going to do charity, I'm going to make more movies!"

"Don't pick up girls?"

"Bubble, of course bubble, how about buying you a new director's viewfinder?"

"I'm not a girl, I'm Master Gia. ”

......

June 3rd passed, June 4th passed, June 5th passed......

June 3rd-9th has passed! The Exorcism Week has come to an end, looking at the latest weekly North American box office rankings, the world is shocked! Another pseudo-documentary frenzy, after six years, reappeared yesterday, and it is even more crazy to pay attention to it!

Sony, Warner Bros., Universal, DreamWorks...... Now whoever takes a big picture of the company's top executives, it is estimated that the whole picture is black, or red, and their faces are black and angry!

Who was the first to say that the audience should consume a pseudo-documentary horror film once?

Who the hell said that "Emily Rose's Exorcism" has the power to fight?

Finally...... Wait, isn't that what you guys said?

Eruption, 2110 theaters are erupting! Crazy, the whole world is crazy!

This week, the North American film market showed a blowout, with a total weekly box office of $2. 800 million, a new high this year, surpassing the $2 in the same period last year. 500 million, whose credit?

The Exorcist Gaiden - 12th place - Week 1 - 550 - $1,781 - $979,550 - $979,550 - $30 - Warner Bros

Sony, Warner Bros., they're failing miserably, not just because of the two exorcism films, but also because of the other two new films. "The Lord of Dog Town" is over, Sony can't escape losing money, "The Summer of Jeans" is mediocre, and WB has to snicker if he doesn't lose money. Isn't Universal painful? Under the weight of layers, "Man with Iron Fist" is like.

DreamWorks ...... "Madagascar" really didn't win the weekly title, a film that cost only $450,000, and the box office in the opening week was more than $6 million more than the first week of "Madagascar", if this is DreamWorks, then ...... Damn if.

There is only one champion!

The battle of exorcism, the birth of the king!

It is the official opener of the tide of pseudo-documentaries, it is a perfect example of the victory of new media over traditional media, it is an epoch-making symbol, and it will forever be recorded in film history!

This is only the first week of its release, and how crazy will it be? North American box office broke 100 million? Who knows!

Its name is:

the-exorcism-tapes

......

The cliff park is full of tourists, and the summer scenery is just right.

Ye Wei and Nina held hands, laughing and talking, while strolling in the woods, on the shore of the lake, and on the beach, dancing and playing from time to time, and kissing emotionally.

If life is a movie, this is the best song and dance scene between the two so far.
