Chapter Seventy-Eight. 【Sudden Situation】
In the face of Yi Feiyang's Dream Pictures, the most resentful are the brothers Dennis and Adjado, who are known as the creators of "Blair the Authentic Witch".
This pair of unlucky guys, originally thought that with the support of Lionsgate Films, coupled with the good reputation of "Witch 1", they only needed to take advantage of the east wind to fly thousands of miles, become popular, and then get ahead in Hollywood and show off their might.
The two of them have even designed it, and when they become popular, they will run in front of the damn Chinese guy Yi Feiyang, humiliate him, insult him, sarcastically mock him, laugh at him, in short, slap him in the face...... But now, no one expected that that damn China Yi would be so difficult to deal with, and he would come up with a "Ghost Shadow Record"!
What's even more hateful is that this drama actually takes the route of "pseudo-documentary", and the filming techniques are even more "advanced" than their own!
As soon as "Ghost Shadow" was released, he immediately suppressed his own drama...... Shit, I can't imagine that after the two of them are busy to the fullest, they still can't resist the new film shot by others!
The person who was supposed to be slapped in the face was slapped in the face by others!
This is the saddest ending!
The brothers Dennis and Adellado both wanted to reach the top, but they were ruthlessly trampled under the feet of Yi Feiyang, and at this moment they had no confidence in front of Mr. Gusta, the president of Lionsgate, and they lost the previous look of Lao Tzu is "Maxima".
Gusta bit his cigar, looked at the two, and sighed, "I don't blame you, even God wouldn't have imagined that the result would be like this!" ”
"Whew!" The two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Gusta, you mean that we are not too bad?" Dennis asked cautiously.
"Keep up the good work. I don't want to say anything more. Gusta kindly sent the two away.
Look at the backs of the two. There was an imperceptible hint of disgust in Gusta's eyes.
Dennis and Adjado had just left. Mike, the dwarf melon who is the head of distribution at Lionsgate, walks in.
"Boss, I heard that Paramount is planning to increase the number of "Ghosts" to 750 theaters!"
Gusta didn't show the slightest surprise or surprise, "Oh yes, if I were Paramount, I'd do the same!" Even, do it even more out of the ordinary! ”
"Ahem, could it be that the Chinese Yi drama is really so good?" Director Mike couldn't help but ask.
"You didn't go to see it?" Gusta asked abruptly.
Director Mike's expression was unnatural. "Huh? This one...... Do you need it? ”
Gusta stared at him for a few seconds. It can be seen that Director Mike's scalp is numb.
"Boss, I'...... Am I afraid of saying something wrong? ”
Gusta withdrew his sharp gaze and shook his head, "No, you're not wrong about anything, it's me who is wrong...... Yes, I did it wrong...... Pack up your office stuff. ”
"Ah, what to do?"
"From now on, you don't have to be in charge of the distribution department anymore. Let's move to the warehouse, there's a warehouse manager missing......"
Director Mike's face turned gray. Dead Grey!
……
Just when the entire North American film industry was waiting for the third week of "Ghost Shadow" to create another miracle and win the top spot at the weekly box office in one fell swoop, an unexpected event happened!
In the newly established Dream Pictures Company, Yi Feiyang, as the director of the new film, is talking on the phone with Paramount representatives to discuss the sharing...... Now, Paramount's talent has learned about the "treachery" of Yi Feiyang's previous "brain-dead" contract.
Originally, I thought that Yi Feiyang took the initiative to ask for a contract, and 25% in the first week, 35% in the second week, 45% in the third week, and 55% in the fourth week...... It is idiotic behavior; Now Paramount knows that he is a real idiot!
According to this sharing agreement, as the box office of "Ghost Shadow" exploded one after another, week after week, the higher the proportion of the share received by Dream Pictures; In contrast, Paramount suffered a loss, after all, the theater was produced by itself, and the later publicity was also done by itself, but the income he got became less and less, just like the bitch who sold himself the most but gave all the money to the bustard...... Isn't that hard?!
Therefore, Mr. Raymond, the president of Paramount, specially appointed a business representative to come to negotiate with Yi Feiyang to "modify" the content of the sharing agreement.
For Paramount's intention, Yi Feiyang is clear,
As a person who thinks he is a "good person" and has a "very thin" face, Yi Feiyang directly stood firm, took a deep breath, and put on a posture of doing a long-term "tug of war".
Just when the two sides were inseparable, Yi Feiyang's phone suddenly rang, and it was the fat man Gao Jiabao calling.
Gao Jiabao looked very anxious on the phone, and he couldn't speak well.
"Jan, it's terrible! It's terrible! ”
"Fatty, calm down, can't the sky fall?"
"It's worse than the sky falling!" The fat man was about to cry.
Yi Feiyang also felt that things seemed to be a little serious, but the fat man's words still hit him deeply.
The fat man said, "Our movie ...... It's scared to death! ”
At first, Yi Feiyang didn't understand, "What 'scared to death'?" What are you talking nonsense about? ”
"Woo, I mean, when our play was showing, it scared people to death in the cinema!" The fat man cried.
"Huh?!"
Yi Feiyang completely understood.
The "Ghost Shadow Record" that he filmed, which is known as "scaring people to death", really "scared" people to death!
This time, really, it's dead!
……
Mr. John is a veteran "horror movie lover", as long as there is a new horror movie or thriller, he will definitely be the first to sell tickets to see it. In his words, watching horror movies, what you are looking for is that feeling of heartbeat; And watching the latest horror movie is like marrying a long-awaited bride, making your heart flutter and beat non-stop.
John Sr. didn't have much family, he was a lonely old man, and he usually kept him alone with a puppy named "Bobo".
The puppy "Bobo" was taken in by John Sr. when he was wandering on the streets. Old John remembers very well that it was a drizzly and cold night, and Old John went out to take out the garbage. But in the corner of the garbage can, I saw Bobo, a puppy shivering from the cold. Dull fur. A skinny little body. And the poor little eyes, when old John was moved with compassion.
"What a poor puppy." "If it's colder, it's going to freeze to death," he said. ”
So old John took the puppy Bobo to his house, roasted him on the stove, and then fed him some milk. When it regained its spirits, old John was relieved.
In this way, the puppy Bobo and Old John lived together. When John Sr. sat on the couch drinking beer and watching TV. Bobo lay beside him; While John Sr. was reading the newspaper with his reading glasses, Bobo the dog snuggled up at his feet.
Lonely old John loved it, treated Bobo like his own son, and liked to take him everywhere on weekdays, such as going to the supermarket to buy groceries, going for a walk in the nearby park, and of course, going to the cinema to watch a movie......
In John Sr.'s view, horror stories are like fairy tales for adults...... It's just a black fairy tale that can make you feel the existence of life thoroughly. In particular, he likes to watch horror movies in the cinema, and his heart is pounding. An atmosphere of shouting with many people.
This feeling made him no longer feel lonely and lonely, he could hear his heartbeat, feel that he was flesh and blood, he would be afraid, he would be afraid, and he knew that he was still ...... "alive".
This time, as usual, Old John held the puppy Bobo in his arms, waited in a long line, and finally bought a ticket for "Ghost Shadow".
Old John heard that this play was very terrifying, and it was said to scare people unconscious, and John Sr. scoffed at this.
Put on a show!
It must be a show again!
I haven't seen any horror movies, from "Dawn of the Living Dead", to "Evil Dead", "The Shining", and even "Blair the Witch", which was released not long ago, none of these legendary super scary movies can scare him down.
In Old John's view, as a veteran horror movie fan, he already has a strong "horror immunity", and he will not be intimidated no matter what drama he watches.
So after buying the tickets, John Sr. bought another pack of popcorn as usual, then found his seat according to the ticket stub, and sat there leisurely, eating popcorn while waiting for the movie to start......
Wait, wait, wait, the movie finally begins.
First there was the mermaid factory logo, and then there was a quick flashing reminder sign from Dream Pictures: R-rated movie, this story is pure fiction, and any similarities are purely coincidental......
The movie began.
John Sr. munched on popcorn while watching the movie.
A white curly-haired young man watching a movie next to him thought he was chewing too loudly, and the two had a few verbal altercations very unhappily.
To the effect that the white man curled his hair and scolded old John, "Old fellow, why are you chewing so loudly?" Go to hell! ”
Old John replied: "Damn it, it's you!" Uncultured guys! ”
The two of them were arguing and yelling, affecting the rest of the audience around them, so much so that someone yelled: "Shut up! ”
The surroundings were finally quiet.
……
In the seat, as the movie became more and more terrifying, the white curly hair no longer cared about what old John was doing, his heart was beating wildly, and he was frightened by the "evil spirit" that suddenly appeared on the movie.
There were also bursts of screams and frightened shouts throughout the cinema.
To be honest, Yi Feiyang integrated the story of "Curse" in his previous life into the play "Ghost Shadow", and the terrifying effect created was absolutely terrifying, and even Yi Feiyang himself was shocked by the story he conceived when he wrote this script.
It was not until the end of this extremely terrifying movie screening that the lights in the cinema were turned on, and people breathed a sigh of relief from the terrifying atmosphere, which felt like suffocating in the sea, finally swimming to the shore, and coming back to life.
The white curly felt that way, and he patted his chest, trying to get his almost suffocated self back to breath.
When the subtitles were over, the white man got up to leave, but saw Bobo, the dog in Old John's arms, barking at his master's face. John Sr., on the other hand, leaned back in his chair and tilted his head, holding his popcorn, motionless.
"Damn, the movie is over, old guy, want to go to bed and go to sleep!" The white curly hair was very upset with old John who was blocking his way.
But no matter how the white curly curls cursed, old John still didn't move.
"Damn, I slept so much!" The white curly scolded and reached out to push the other party.
With a "poof", Old John fell crooked on the chair, popcorn fell to the ground, and looked at him again, his eyes were wide, hollow, and the muscles on his face were stiff, but he still maintained a frightened expression, obviously, he had been dead for a long time! (To be continued......)
