178 [Terror (1)]
March 21st.
There is a cinema in a square in the city center. The theater is full of spectators, and among these spectators there are some professional film critics sitting in their respective seats with pens and notebooks in their hands.
An Hao is a film critic.
As a film critic with his own film review column, An Hao is currently waiting for the screening of a movie, and the name of this movie is "Human Purge"!
correct!
Today is the day when "Human Purge" is released. I believe that there are professional film critics like An Hao sitting in many cinemas in China...
"About two minutes."
Next to An Hao was a colleague named Yan Chuan, who belonged to the same film review organization as An Hao. However, Yan Chuan was not in a happy mood at this time because he and Yan Chuan were sitting in the first row of the theater.
Watching a movie in the first row is very tiring.
For this position, it was hard to get the tickets. Yan Chuan really couldn't understand why Luo Yuan didn't just hold a premiere. If a premiere was held, there would be dedicated people who would send invitations to their film critics to watch the movie.
, including seats, will also be arranged by the officials, because the comments of their film critics can affect the performance of the film to a certain extent.
Maybe it's a lack of confidence?
Yan Chuan's guess is that various news has increased the popularity of the movie, so that the premiere day of "Human Purge" attracted a lot of attention, but some film critics in the circle are not optimistic about the movie.
.
Horror movies also have the title of science fiction.
Considering the cost of this movie, it is difficult to have any expectations for this movie. If the director of this movie was not Luo Yuan but an unknown person, An Hao and Yan Chuan would not even walk into the cinema.
But there are quite a lot of people here.
Yanchuan glanced at the theater and found that the attendance rate was almost full. Although this was caused by various influences, it was obvious that the first-day performance of this movie was worth looking forward to.
"The movie has started."
An Hao suddenly spoke, the light on the big screen flashed, and the crimson logo appeared on the big screen.
The red lotus blossoms quietly.
Some viewers who have watched "Crazy Stone" couldn't help but smile knowingly at this moment, remembering that the beginning of that movie also had such a red lotus logo.
Yanchuan, on the other hand, was less interested.
He didn't have to think about it to know that it would definitely start with a long and stinky subtitle, introducing various film creators, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.
An Hao smiled.
He knew that Yan Chuan was in a bad mood. In addition to the poor position, there was another reason. This guy had always admired Lu Tianqi's film style. Luo Yuan suppressed Lu Tianqi in this year's director rankings, which made Yan Chuan quite unconvinced.
Look up at the screen.
He also thought that the movie would start with long subtitles, but what he didn't expect was that the subtitles passed in just a few seconds, and a burst of slightly depressing music came from the surrounding speakers, groups of slightly eerie sounds.
The picture actually jumped out directly
"Huh?"
Yanchuan raised his head in surprise.
The background of the picture is black and white. A girl in white clothes exudes an aura of despair with her head lowered and her body is stained with blood. Two groups of people are fighting fiercely. There is no sound of gunfire, only music, but it is inexplicably heavy...
Groups of pictures flickered.
All were violent crime scenes in the form of documentaries, as if there was no order in the world, and there was only blood and killing. Staring at the big screen, many viewers at the scene even forgot to eat popcorn, and Coca-Cola was bubbling.
Click, click, click…
There was a sound of keyboard tapping, followed by a line of eye-catching subtitles: "In 2022, the global unemployment rate is only three percent, the crime rate has reached a record low, and violence almost no longer exists, except for one kind of violence...
…”
This is the background introduction.
It turns out that due to overpopulation in the future, the world government launched a plan to reduce the number of humans by allowing all criminal activities within twelve hours!
"hiss……"
There was a gasping sound at the scene.
Before the movie title "Human Purge" was revealed, many people were speculating on its meaning, but no one expected that it actually meant such a thing!
"I am a little scared."
This was the voice of a female audience member, and then the female audience member's male companion said confidently: "Don't worry, I'm here."
There are quite a few similar conversations.
Yanchuan did not expect that the opening would be shown in the form of a documentary. This kind of documentary-like beginning added a sense of reality to the background of the film.
"Don't say anything else."
An Hao spoke and quickly wrote a few words on the paper with a pen: "At least this idea is very good, it is a natural horror movie theme!"
Yanchuan nodded.
As a professional film critic, he would not be frightened by the terrifying scene at the beginning of the movie. He must keep his mind away from the movie in order for him to write a film review.
The colors of the picture finally became brighter.
The slightly depressed mood of the audience finally calmed down, and those who ate popcorn continued to eat, and those who drank Coke continued to drink.
It's daytime.
There are specialized people selling guns in the mall. According to the background of the movie, on this day, guns are banned all over the world. People can trade freely. Each gun has a special number. After this night, there will be official inspections of guns.
Carry out recycling.
The gun trade is booming.
On the busy streets, pedestrians walk in a hurry, and it seems that time has become very precious on this day.
A child with delicate features appeared.
The camera panned across the roadside, and a homeless man in tattered clothes was walking on the street with a sad face.
The music suddenly changed!
An emergency horn sounded, and a car that had no time to stop was rushing towards the child. However, the child walking on the road was suddenly unaware of all this.
The homeless man saw it.
Without any hesitation, he rushed forward and pushed the child away, but his calf was hit by a car tire...
"You must be sick!"
The car did not stop, leaving only a curse. The frightened child looked at the homeless man: "How are you..."
"I'm fine."
The homeless man endured the pain.
The child looked at the tramp's legs, with worry written all over his innocent little face. A smile appeared on the corner of the tramp's mouth: "Child, it's very dangerous outside. Go home early. Where are your parents?"
"Mother is shopping."
The child spoke, and the camera turned to a woman, who was rushing towards the child with a worried look on her face: "Xiao Di, are you okay?"
"fine."
Xiao Di looked at the homeless man: "A car rushed over just now. This uncle saved me, but he seemed to be injured..."
The woman looked at the homeless man.
The tramp's legs seemed a little unnatural, and he was obviously seriously injured. She seemed to have thought of something, and after a slight hesitation, she quietly took out a gun and handed it to the tramp: "You may need this tonight..."
Apparently!
This woman just bought a gun in the market. I don’t know if she is preparing for action at night or for self-defense?
"Thanks."
The homeless man did not refuse the gun.
The woman hugged Xiao Di and left. Xiao Di looked at the homeless man, his little face was still full of worry, but the homeless man smiled, looking a little ugly because of the pain...
"what to do?"
"This homeless man injured his leg trying to save his child, and that's when the cleanup begins at night..."
Some audience members whispered.
Chapter completed!
