Alice only learned about Brown's thank-you phone call and the first-day sales results of the new book when she took the initiative to talk to her home. As for herself, she was filming the first movie for DreamWorks at the small town of Huron, a small city in central California. She was filming her own expense "Ghost Record".

"Jack, you have to hold on. You just have to carry such a big camera to play with selfies in the whole movie. You can't eat more burgers."

"Don't worry, BOSS, I'm the school's football team leader. What a camera is worth. I've been through three cheerleader girls at the same time!"

With green lawns and white stone roads, on a secluded street in Huron City, houses spread from one end to the other. More than a dozen young people are staying at home in front of one of the houses. If someone is careful to collect the nearest newspaper, he will find that this is the house where the bodies of three high school students were found.

As the filming scene of "The Ghost Record", a young man of twenty-five or six years old was waving his arms at the door, chatting with other students loudly. He is the new actor of the male lead in this movie, the UCLA doctoral student rugby captain, strong and amazing, which is very consistent with the script adapted by Alice.

After all, the male protagonist must be able to carry a camera reasonably and take selfies!

This is not the era when the DV machine has been released. The weight of the camera is quite expensive, and the original plot must be modified.

"Actually, now it seems that this protagonist Mick is really a fool."

As the deputy director, David looked at the house with his arms in his arms and laughed: "I guess at the beginning of the movie, the audience should have said, why does this idiot have to carry a camera to play selfies, so he won't feel tired?"

"Yes, yes, there must be complaints."

Alice smiled and said, "Even if we rationalize the plot, the audience will not revolve around the protagonist himself. So, let's just shoot Mick to death and become a fool. And the more idiot the better, the audience will definitely like it."

"So, Alice, why do I always feel that the atmosphere is a little wrong?"

David touched his chin and said, "Although your script is indeed very well written, it is indeed a good thriller movie, but listening to your analysis all day long, I always feel like we are making a... funny movie."

Alice touched her nose and said nothing now. There is no way. She really developed this habit. The Internet in later generations is so developed that no movies can be slapdated by the audience. Especially for those thriller movies and ghost horror movies, netizens are of course doing their best to make them humorous.

So, Alice is actually not sure whether this movie will be a thriller or a funny movie. After all, this is also the first time she has reversed the movie into a script. As the saying goes, everyone has the first time, so long live understanding.

The shooting location is the crime scene, and there is no doubt that it has been a while since the bodies of three high school students were found to the UCLA & DreamWorks team entered, and it has been a while since. During this period, the police have collected all possible clues, otherwise they would not have had the chance to come.

Of course, Alice is good at distanceing from the relationship. At that time, she came to the Los Angeles police station in person to tell Sergei, who had been her bodyguard.

"Uncle~ I heard that the three bad kids who beat my brother were hanging there. After a while, they wanted to go to the crime scene to shoot a movie to enjoy themselves. Can you watch it?

With such preemptive rhetoric, although the police will definitely be quite presumptuous, they will definitely not doubt anything about themselves~

After all, those three high school students...ahem.

The entire movie lasts less than a hundred minutes, and most of the plots only take place in the house, just a couple's daily selfie, plus the incompetent priest and the heroine's supporting girlfriend. In just one week, the plot of the entire movie was solved by more than 80%. Alice calculated that even if the editing after the film was completed, it would be completed in two weeks.

Well, it's comparable to the shooting cycle of "Saw".

So it is common to say that in order to accumulate funds for himself in order to expand the mainland clothing market and to enable this movie to achieve a huge box office, DreamWorks spent a lot of publicity fees. Mr. Grant raised a total of 12 million US dollars in funds through deposits, borrowing and loans, and then based on the channels he had accumulated over the years, he began to make a sharp and decisive public opinion production.

In fact, the whole promotional plan was written by Alice herself, and it had already begun earlier than when the filming started.

One day at noon, when the sun shines vertically on the sky.

"Ah Yeh!"

As an otaku, Harry walked out of the house and walked out of the "geek home" full of instant noodles, sweatshirts, and smells of stinky feet. He came to the corridor of a high-rise apartment building in a humble street in Queens, New York City. Then, because of the sudden cold weather and his special physical fitness of being an otaku, he sneezes without any suspense.

"Unfortunate, I sneeze when I just woke up, I'm so unlucky!"

Rubbing dark circles, rubbing thatch-like hair, and stepping on slippers, Harry walked down his head and easily came to the elevator, then came to the ground with the creaking elevator, then walked out of the apartment building with his head down, staring at the ground with his eyes straight into the street.

Then, he raised his head blankly.

"Uh...where is the newsstand?"

Harry had been a hobby for many years, but after finding the newsstand position, he was frustrated to find newspapers like The New York Times and The Morning Focus are gone.

"I said Tom, you have always had a lot of stock here. How can you lose the stock of newspapers as important as Current Affairs Observation??"

Tom is a little old man wearing a blue striped checkered shirt and an American flag-patterned baseball cap. He now holds a retro pipe in his mouth and says impatiently: "Stupid guy, don't you see when it's now? I'm the only newsstand on the street. Are you questioning my income??"

Harry didn't dare to quarrel with this old man. After all, he actually lives upstairs and looks down. How could he offend easily?

Of course, he would not admit that he was afraid of the shotgun on the wall of Tom's restaurant that could carry live ammunition at any time.

"No, none. All the things you usually watch are gone. Just "The Sudden Sword". I think you can buy one in about a month, so why not just do this!"

Harry was a little dissatisfied when he saw the cover of the newspaper. Although "Surprise" sold a lot, it is a well-known print media in the tabloids. The sales in New York alone can be as many as tens of thousands, but Harry usually treats it as an amateur pastime. Now, he hasn't read the serious Washington Post, so he just looks at the pastime first. Wouldn't he put the cart before the horse?

"......What are your panda eyes? Do you think you are scary? Oh, by the way, I'm afraid you don't know what panda is? Little kid, go to the zoo more if you have nothing to do... I bought it? Oh, just buy it, get out!"

Harry swore that he didn't argue with the old man because he forgot to drink coffee and was not energetic. The shotgun or something was not the reason!

Even in New York in November, the sun was burning enough at noon. Harry looked at the sunny sky and earth in dissatisfaction, found a corner of the cafe, and he opened the second page of the newspaper.

Then, his eyes couldn't move away in an instant.

"... Until now, the police are helpless in the murder case of Huron's high school student and cannot find any effective clues. After multiple investigations, our reporter believed that it seems more useful to pay attention to the scene of the case than the clues of the case itself."

"Huron is not large in size, but its establishment history can be traced back to the beginning of this century, and the street where the crime was found has a history of more than 50 years. According to reporters' visits and investigations, in the past fifty years, No. 11 Walker Street has been resold 95 times, and the most recent reselling occurred three years ago. In other words, this kind of house has an average of one new person every two quarters."

"What is the reason? On average, an ordinary residential household has to move once a quarter, and a private residential household has to change it every two quarters? Why, can the recent group of residents persist for three years without leaving? Why, the current family only has one mobility problems, and the mother with Alzheimer's disease lives here, and the buyer has not visited his relatives in the past six months?"

"This newspaper's reporter will inevitably have many suspicions, and will inevitably move closer to supernatural events. Logically speaking, compared to the two or three hundred years of history on the East Coast, the West Coast should not be a place where ghosts and ghosts appear, but that is just a subjective imagination of human beings, and at most it is only reflected in the movie as a setting. If this kind of event really happens, I believe that ghosts will not care about historical factors, right?"
