Outside a newly opened theater in Beijing's Chaoyang business district, various movie posters are plastered all over the glass door.

Among them, the most conspicuous and special thing in the center is a poster that looks eerie.

The poster has a black and gray background, and in the center of the poster, a red gate is erected.

The door was ajar, and the open part was pitch black, which seemed to indicate that it was dark outside, but in the darkness, there was a bunch of bloodshot pupils, staring directly at all the people looking at the poster, breaking the third wall.

At the top of the poster, there are three big bloody characters.

Don't Knock

Below the poster, there are only a few small lines of white words:

Director Liu Meichuan's work.

Starring: Lei Jiayin, Sun Yizhou, Jiang Combing, Liu Zhiyang, Zhang Han, Tong Liya.

And the group of leading actors on the poster are now in Hall 1 in the theater, accompanying director Liu Meichuan, waiting for the movie to start screening.

"Don't Knock on the Door" is naturally not qualified to hold a premiere.

From the director to the actors, there is no one well-known.

The director is a newly graduated rookie director, and the actors are all students who have just graduated or are still studying in the performance departments of Chinese opera and Shanghai opera.

Counting on this group of people to open the premiere, who can be invited to attend?

So after "Don't Knock on the Door" was finalized, although there was some online and offline publicity, after the trailer was released on many platforms on the Internet, the painting was directly started.

Liu Meichuan and others, if they want to watch this movie, they have to buy movie tickets and go to the cinema to watch it.

After discussing it, these creators bought movie tickets for the same show and watched this movie that is a "debut" for many creators.

In the fifth row of seats, Lei Jiayin was still chattering in Liu Meichuan's ear: "Director, my head is really not big." ”

"It's just a visual effect."

"Don't call me a big head, if this nickname spreads, how will I be in the circle in the future."

"People's nicknames are Chaoyang Xiaoyanzu, the magic capital Jin Chengwu, my name is Lei Datou, this is not impatient!"

Zhang Han, who was sitting on the other side of him, grinned when he heard this, showed a "domineering president" smile, and happily hugged Lei Jiayin's shoulder: "Jiayin, accept your fate, this nickname is the most vivid for you." ”

"What Chaoyang Xiaoyanzu, the demon capital Jin Chengwu, do you say that you are worthy of this title?"

"Why don't you deserve it?" Lei Jiayin was anxious: "I was originally going to be a model, but when I was interviewing, I was taken by Mr. Lu at a glance, saying that I have a good image and am suitable for being an actor, so I took the Shanghai Opera exam!" ”

"At that time, the result was still the second place in the country!"

"After entering the school, no one said that I was not handsome!"

"Why am I not worthy of being called the demon capital Jin Chengwu?"

Don't say it, don't say it, Lei Jiayin when he was young now is really handsome, a proper little fresh meat, except for a big head, there are no shortcomings.

Jiang Sofa Ying echoed with a special face: "Lei Zi is indeed praised by everyone at school, and the teacher also likes him." ”

"No, as soon as we graduated, we were taken by the Modu Drama Center, and we couldn't get into the exam if we wanted to."

Lei Jiayin was stunned at this time, causing the other actors to laugh frequently.

They are all newcomers, and the situation is different from those old fritter actors who have a clear separation between work and private life in the crew.

After the filming of "Don't Knock on the Door", students from the two colleges of Chinese opera and Shanghai opera have already become very familiar with each other, calling each brother and brother recognize each other's sisters.

Everyone got along with each other, and the atmosphere was very good.

Liu Meichuan, the director, is not very old, and "Don't Knock" is his first feature-length film, which has a different meaning, and he also gets along very well with everyone.

Ten years later, twenty years later, when this group of actors has become famous in the circle, this is a very deep network.

This is how the connections in this circle are gathered and operated, especially the academic school.

"Alright, don't make a fuss."

"The rest of the audience is almost there, and the movie is about to start."

"Be quiet."

Liu Meichuan spoke, and immediately the other main creators quieted down, and the director's words still worked very well.

Everyone cast their curious eyes on the big screen.

Except for Liu Meichuan, the other leading actors have not seen the edited film, and they don't know how they performed, and they don't know what the director will cut into in the end.

To be honest, Liu Meichuan is so young and it is the first work, everyone is still a little worried in their hearts while they are excited.

I was worried that the final result would not be good, and I would cut it in pieces.

Soon, in the screening room, where about a third of the audience was seated, the lights began to go out and the big screen slowly lit up.

The movie is now showing.

On the other side, in another Light and Shadow Times Cinema not far from the Morning Sunshine Movie Times Cinema, Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan, who were wearing masks and glasses, also walked into the cinema.

Unlike Liu Yifei, who was mainly staring at the poster, from the moment he entered the door, Wu Yuan was carefully observing the layout of the theater and observing the attitude of the ticket seller.

This is the first time he has come from a company-owned theater.

Beijing is one of the key cities in the development of the light and shadow era, and five cinemas have been opened in Beijing alone, and a cinema is under construction.

In the future, Lin Wei is also preparing to open five more theaters and one cinema.

After all, this is the capital, and it is one of the mainland cities with the highest consumption level, and it can only be accompanied by the magic capital that focuses on economic development.

After observing with an introspective gaze for a while, Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Wei, as a middle-to-senior member of the Hollywood cinema chain, does have two brushes.

The layout of the theater is very modern, very similar to the cinemas in Europe and the United States, the conductors are also well trained, smiling and whispering, and when the audience has difficulty choosing, they will carefully introduce the characteristics of each movie in theaters, but they do not take the initiative to push which one, or give the choice to the audience who buys tickets.

"Holding the movie ticket that Xiao Zhang bought in advance yesterday, Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei's hand, entered the theater through the ticket gate, and walked into the No. 2 theater."

The biggest feature of the newly opened cinema is that everything is new.

Sitting on the seat of the screening hall, Wu Yuan could even smell a faint smell of leather.

This shows that the cleaning staff of the theater has a good working attitude, and every day, or even every half day, all the seats in the theater will be wiped down to prevent any odor from remaining.

"Senior brother, have you seen this movie?" Liu Yifei's enthusiastic inquiry interrupted Wu Yuan's thinking.

He smiled slightly: "I haven't seen the finished film either, only roughly read the script." ”

"The horror films made in the mainland used to only be made in Hong Kong and Taiwan." Liu Yifei is still very interested: "I don't know if the content is stimulating or not." ”

"You've read the script, but don't spoil it!"

Liu Yifei's big hobby in life is watching horror movies.

And it's a big night, sitting alone on the couch and watching DVDs

Wu Yuan didn't know why a little girl like her loved watching horror movies.

What's even more interesting is that she also likes to watch cartoons.

It's not the kind of Japanese anime, but the kind of cartoon movie that tends to be younger, which is the kind made by DreamWorks.

In Liu Yifei's words, watching this kind of cartoon doesn't require brains, it's very relaxed and enjoyable.

Watching horror movies is very exciting and can relieve stress.

As for literary films, although she didn't watch them less, most of them watched them with a learning attitude, and even took notes.

Just like directors pulling films every day, there is no talk of relaxation and entertainment at all, it is completely another kind of overtime.

In order to take care of the movie-watching needs of the two, in the big mansion of Dongshan Villa, two private screening halls were made in the basement, which allowed Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei to pull the film at the same time.

It's just that every night when he was studying in Lapiao, Wu Yuan could hear the screams coming from the screening room next door.

Don't get me wrong, it's not Liu Yifei screaming, it's the hoarse voices of the actors in horror movies.

His girlfriend's courage is not ordinary, and she won't be startled when watching horror movies, and then rush into his arms to hug him.

It's a pity that one of life's great joys has been lost.

Who hasn't fantasized about taking his girlfriend to the cinema to watch a horror movie, and then his girlfriend screams and hides in his arms, while he carries out his manhood and softly comforts his girlfriend.

However, this is not the case at all.

As the movie "Don't Knock" began to be screened, Liu Yifei stared intently at the development of the plot on the screen, and "tsk" a few times from time to time, constantly commenting: "How dare they open the door?" ”

"Why are you standing there stupidly when you hear the sound and don't run?"

"This ghost can't do it, why is all the hair covering his face, pretending to be Sadako?"

"Haha, this hero's head is so big, it's almost as big as the heroine."

"But these actors are acting well, they have a sense of substitution."

"Senior brother, has your company signed them?"

Liu Yifei, who has been staring at the screen since the beginning of the screening, finally has the energy to turn her head and chat with her boyfriend.

Then, she saw Wu Yuan, whose lips trembled slightly, his hands clenched on the armrests, and his pupils constricted.

Although I have read the script, the text is very different from the sudden thriller shots, and the sense of picture and effect are completely incomparable.

Stunned, Liu Yifei smiled, and was overjoyed: "Senior brother, you won't be afraid, right?" ”

"Don't you dare watch a horror movie?"

"Who wouldn't dare to look at it?" Wu Yuan glared at Liu Yifei, put his hands back on his lap, and coughed dryly: "I'm just a little too immersive." ”

"You know, as a good director, you first have to have a high enough fantasy ability, I just put myself too much into the movie and empathize with the protagonists."

"Yes, yes, my brother is amazing." Liu Yifei said very distractedly.

still doesn't expose her boyfriend's false cover-up.

However, with a roll of his eyes, Liu Yifei immediately thought of a lot of interesting things, which can be regarded as discovering a weakness of Wu Yuan!

"Ahem." Seeing Liu Yifei's appearance as a little witch, Wu Yuan immediately guessed what she was thinking, anyway, nothing good happened, so he had to quickly change the topic and said: "These rookie actors are very good, but the company has not signed them all." ”

"Only Lei Jiayin and Jiang Combing, as well as the newcomer named Liu Zhiyang, signed into the company."

"Next, the company plans to do a big project, and Jiang Soying and Liu Zhiyang will participate in it."

"Big project?" Sure enough, Liu Yifei was immediately attracted.

"What's the big project?"

The corners of Wu Yuan's mouth curled: "Internet streaming streaming." ”

"Sissi, have you heard of Netflix?"
