Chapter 209: Game of Death (2)
Bryant is a street critic, at least for now.
As a film critic, it is easy to eat in North America, a place where the film and television industry is very developed, but correspondingly, it is also difficult to eat, because the competition here is too great.
The film critics here can be said to be like carp crossing the river, everyone is a million-strong army walking a single-plank bridge, and there are only a handful of people who can eat in this line of work in the end.
As for the rest, they were killed by other victors who ate on the food.
Once upon a time, Bryant was still able to maintain his status in the circle, although he was not a top well-known film critic, but at least he could make a living, eat a meal, and pay off his credit card every month.
But there have been some things around him recently, plus some runs on his peers, and he has indeed not written a weighty film review for a long time, which makes him in a very difficult situation.
If he can't write a high-quality, even film review, maybe he will risk being fired by the magazine he is now signing with, and then quit the circle gloomily.
However, for a small film critic like him, how easy is it to write a blockbuster film review?
In itself, he has no fan base, and no one knows about his existence, so naturally, he will not be waiting to be watched by a group of fans like those well-known film critics.
In particular, there are hardly any producers who invite him to the premiere of a certain film.
This makes him have to buy tickets to see new movies at his own expense, and then write film reviews.
But it is conceivable that for those well-known films with a lot of attention, premiere tickets can be said to be hard to find, and he didn't buy them at all.
Therefore, he can only buy those small films, even imported movies from abroad, and go to see the premieres of these movies.
However, the quality of these foreign imported films is uneven, and it is completely different from the overall production level of Hollywood.
It can be said that looking for gold in the garbage heap can be called hell mode.
Yes, Bryant also has this mindset, believing that Hollywood is bigger than anything else.
But who left him with no choice?
And the "Chainsaw" he wants to watch now is the first movie he wants to evaluate.
However, forgiving him and having no sense of expectation, he just relied on public instinct to force himself into it.
He didn't even realize that there was another person sitting next to him.
Forgive this theater for being too quiet, there are few people at all, once the theater lights are turned off, it is really called heaven and earth, and there are not even a few figures.
Soon, the movie began.
The lights in the theater dimmed at the right time.
In the next second, a title appeared on the huge screen.
Children running on the beach, and then the golden logo appears.
Golden Name Studios.
It is a Hanxia script, square and square.
The next opening is a gorgeous aurora, interwoven into a few big characters, Guangyuan Media.
It's gone, just these two titles.
An eerie green glow intertwined, with the creepy background music of a zombie roar, and it was unknown what kind of netherworld instrument could play this sound.
Angular wires are wrapped around the title of the film.
The feature film begins.
The light was particularly dim, with only a faint glow from a flashlight shining on a man's face.
But this man seems to be in the water at the moment, and the background sound is also the feeling of muffled water in the water.
It's a breathtaking feeling, especially in a dark, empty theater with few people.
In addition, the air conditioning in the theater is open again, and the swishing air conditioning is blowing in the face.
This made Bryant feel a kind of suffocation, especially when he thought that this was a thriller, and he had an inexplicable sense of excitement and panic about whatever would happen next.
No one knows what will happen next.
Bryant was secretly shocked.
What? I was so quickly called out by the director?
As we all know, a good enough thriller must be able to make the audience fully immersed in the atmosphere created by the movie in the shortest possible time.
If you can't do it, you can't be called a good thriller horror movie.
Why are many thriller horror movies called bad movies?
It's because they don't grasp the essence at all, it's not scary, it's not scary, it's not scary!
However, this movie, called "Chainsaw", surprised Bryant.
The background music is getting more and more weird, and the classic playing sound of the water organ appears.
The picture is gradually becoming clearer.
As you can see, it is indeed a piece of edema, it is a very old bathtub, and the plug of the bathtub is made of copper.
The man suddenly opened his eyes and opened his mouth.
Dense bubbles bubbled out of his mouth, and the man choked instantly, struggling to wake up and crawl out of the bathtub.
Then, the surrounding environment is captured by the camera.
I saw that the man's feet were shackled at this moment, the thick, rusty iron chains restricted his freedom, and the environment he was in, there were patches of blood on the wall, jet black, and the surrounding environment was very dark.
It was a dark toilet, but it looked like it hadn't been used in a long time, and there was a rotten smell everywhere, and there were blood stains on the walls.
Only the words 'Aoyama Hospital' were written on the wall, which was almost invisible.
The man struggled to his feet and shouted in panic: "Help! Come on! ”
"Is anyone there?"
But no one responded to him at all, and he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly.
The man suddenly thought he was dead: "Maybe I'm dead, this is hell." ”
Soon, however, a voice burst in and answered him: "You're not dead. ”
"Who is it?" The man was suddenly shocked: "Who are you?" Turn the lights on! ”
"I want to, too." The lifeless, desperate-sounding voice replied.
"What the hell! This is where it is! The man roared, his eyes full of panic.
"I don't know yet."
"What's that smell?!"
"I didn't see it."
However, at this moment, just as the man was talking to the voice, the lights suddenly turned on.
The sudden light dazzled the man and quickly blocked the light with his hand.
It wasn't until his eyes got used to it that he could see his surroundings clearly.
He also saw the man who had been responding to him.
It was another man locked in a water pipe, wearing a blue shirt, looking sven, but now his body was covered in blood.
The two were locked away, one on the far left and one on the far right of the large bathroom, separated by a very long distance.
It's a large bathroom in disrepair, and all the fixtures look very old from the last century, and it's all rusty.
However, just when both were walking towards each other.
The background music gradually became more and more eerie, and the camera movement became more and more erratic, and then, at the distance between the two of them, there was a camera movement.
The next moment, suddenly, there was a thrilling scene in front of the camera.
I saw that there was no obstacle between the two, a corpse with blurred flesh and blood and a decomposed head lay directly between the two, and the pool of blood flowed down the floor tiles into the floor drain.
This close-up shocked Bryant, who is a professional film critic.
He felt his heart beat faster.
