Hollywood Director 1992

"Link, don't make movies like this next time. There wasn't even a premiere ceremony. I wanted to find some celebrities to support you, but I didn't even have the chance," Sam Haskell said.

"There will be a chance. My next movie is a blockbuster, and the premiere ceremony will definitely be lively."

"The next movie is confirmed?"

Sam Haskell stopped walking, his dark brown eyes looking at him in surprise. "This movie hasn't even been released yet, and you've already confirmed your next movie? Are you always this fast?"

"I have a plan. What to film for the next movie has already been decided, but the filming time is yet to be determined."

"Is there a suitable role for Jennifer?"

Sam Haskell glanced at Jennifer Connelly, who was silently beside him.

"No, the protagonists of the next movie are high school students."

"Jennifer is 22 years old this year. There's no problem with her playing a high school student."

"She looks too mature, but if Jennifer is interested, she can come and try out during the audition."

Jennifer Connelly was 22 years old, not fat, with a slender waist. Her large breasts were quite substantial, and did not look smaller than Monica's, obviously due to overnutrition.

Also, her relatively mature temperament didn't quite match the appearance of the female lead in 'Final Destination'.

However, if this woman is willing to cooperate, choosing her as the female lead could be worth a try.

After arriving in the audience area, Link bid farewell to Sam Haskell and Jennifer Connelly, and then stepped onto the stage to thank the guests and audience who came to attend the premiere ceremony, and chatted with everyone about the creative experience of this movie.

The Museum Art Cinema is one of the theaters under the AMC cinema chain. It is luxuriously decorated and is also one of the theaters that frequently hold premiere ceremonies.

The auditorium can accommodate 830 people. With the strong publicity of Guess Pictures, the audience seats were basically full today.

"Looks not bad."

Sam Haskell sat down and looked around, saying to Jennifer Connelly beside him, "Why didn't you chat with Link a little more? You are a girl, a beauty. Getting along well with people of the same age is your forte. Why are you so cold to Link? I remember you don't discriminate against Asians."

"What is there to talk about? I'm not familiar with him, and we don't have a common language."

Jennifer Connelly stared ahead blankly, her blue-gray eyes equally calm.

"Jen, you know how fierce the competition is in Hollywood. If you want to successfully transition and gain a foothold in Hollywood, you need a lot of resources.

Link is a director and an excellent screenwriter. Befriending him will only bring you benefits and no harm."

"Can a director who only makes small-budget movies of tens of thousands of dollars help me?"

"Why not? When he was 20 years old, he created the movie with the highest box office return in film history with only $20,000. Even Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, etc. can't do this. How can you underestimate such a person?"

Sam Haskell raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"I'm not underestimating him. It's just that the success of 'Buried' has a lot of randomness. No one can replicate this success, and neither can he.

The news said that the screening of this movie was a failure, and no film company was willing to cooperate with him. He could only distribute it at his own expense. I don't think he will continue to be lucky."

Jennifer Connelly crossed her arms, the curve of her chest appearing even more treacherous.

"Who told you the screening was a failure? On the contrary, the screening was very successful. After the screening, it's not that no film company was willing to distribute his movie, but that his expectations for the movie were too high. The conditions offered by those film companies couldn't satisfy his appetite, so he chose to distribute it at his own expense. It's not that other companies were unwilling to cooperate."

Jennifer Connelly listened to his words, blinked her eyes, and looked at the person on the stage, her expression still unchanged.

"Besides, to see whether a person will succeed, you shouldn't only look at whether the things he is doing now are successful or not, but you should look at whether he possesses the qualities that successful people should have.

Link not only has talent, but also ability. He is good at socializing, has flexible methods, a firm character, dares to fight and take risks, and is not afraid of failure.

Even if this movie fails, it will not affect his career. He has the qualities of a successful person and will definitely be successful in the future. He deserves more enthusiasm from you."

Sam Haskell frowned and said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Next time I see him, I'll chat with him more and be more enthusiastic towards him,"

Jennifer Connelly said.

Sam Haskell looked at her, not knowing her true thoughts, but he didn't nag anymore.

In Hollywood, opportunities are fought for. People who see opportunities but don't fight for them will gradually be marginalized in this circle.

At this stage, Jennifer Connelly has the support of the company and does not lack resources, so she doesn't care much about befriending Link.

If her career encounters setbacks in the future, the resources she receives decrease, and she sees her peers surpassing her one by one, or when Link becomes more successful, maybe she will change her mind.

Clap clap clap!

Link walked down the stage, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the movie began to play.

At the beginning, it was the plot of the male and female protagonists discussing around the camera.

The lines of the male and female protagonists were very ordinary, and the camera lens shook back and forth. It really looked like a documentary, not a standard Hollywood movie.

"Is that all? It looks boring."

In the audience, Milla Jovovich chewed gum and said.

"Boring? Don't you think it's novel?

Generally, before a movie starts filming, the set is carefully arranged, and more refined lines are designed. The actors perform hard in front of the camera.

But in Link's movie, there is nothing. There is no set, no script, no professional actors, and not even a director. There is only a male protagonist holding a camera and shooting casually.

It's so cool. It turns out movies can be made like this."

Sofia Coppola clapped her hands and said excitedly.

"Are you serious? This kind of movie is no different from a home video. Anyone with a camera can make it. How can you think this kind of movie is cool?"

Milla Jovovich blinked her silver-gray eyes in confusion.

"It's precisely because of that that it's cool. I heard the screening of this movie was very successful. Many film company producers gave it extremely high praise after watching it. If a movie can be filmed in this way and still receive praise from many famous producers, it means this movie is very successful in some aspect."

Sofia Coppola said.

Milla Jovovich curled her lips, unconvinced.

When the plot came to the first night, the color tone in the bedroom turned eerie, and the open doorway was pitch black, as if monsters could break into the house from outside at any moment.

The atmosphere in the theater also became tense, and many people didn't dare to stare at the doorway.

Boom, boom, boom, boom~

A terrifying sound came from the theater's speakers, constantly stimulating the audience's eardrums, making people feel cold and uneasy.

"It seems a little scary."

Milla Jovovich couldn't help but lean closer to Sofia.

Sofia, however, stared at the screen with great interest. She wanted to see how Link used a handheld camera to film a movie and create a terrifying atmosphere to scare people.

"Ah!!!"

As the plot unfolded, screams came from the theater from time to time.

At first, there were only a few people, with screams rising and falling.

After the 13th night, screams often appeared in patches, sometimes dozens of people, sometimes hundreds.

On the 15th day, after the male and female protagonists left, a gust of cold wind blew into the room, and the Ouija board on the table suddenly moved.

Hundreds of people in the audience screamed, and some shouted that it was moving, that there was a ghost.

The screaming voices were both male and female.

Some people also shivered while hugging their arms.

"How could it be a horror movie? I hate horror movies."

Kim Carrey grabbed his wife Melissa Womer's arm and carefully watched the big screen.

"You're a man, can't you be a little braver?"

Melissa Womer said dissatisfied.

"Courage has nothing to do with being a man. Men can also be cowardly. Ah, it's too scary. If I had known it was a horror movie, I wouldn't have accepted Link's invitation."

On the 17th night, the male protagonist sprinkled a lot of laundry detergent at the bedroom door to track the ghost.

When everyone saw many white footprints appearing on the floor, they screamed in fright.

Many girls covered their eyes with their hands, afraid to look, but they didn't want to miss the exciting plot, so they could only peek through their fingers.

On the 18th night, a hollow sound rang in the house. After the male protagonist woke up, the door was suddenly slammed shut.

"Ah!!!"

Milla Jovovich was so scared that she lay on Sofia's shoulder.

Sofia was also very scared, feeling cold all over, and the hairs on her arms almost stood up.

It's just that she didn't want to miss the opportunity to learn from Link, so she stared at the screen with her arms crossed.

On the 19th day, while the male and female protagonists were eating, a sound of stomping came from the road. The two ran upstairs to check, and the photos of the male and female protagonists were torn apart.

The female protagonist felt something breathing behind her.

Suddenly, a strand of hair on the female protagonist's shoulder was blown up.

"Ah!!!!!"

More than eight hundred people in the theater screamed in unison, and some were so scared that they jumped up and ran out like the female protagonist.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

Kim Carrey shouted.

"Shut up!"

His wife, Melissa Womer, felt ashamed and covered his mouth with her hand.

"Ooh, ooh~"

Among these screaming people, besides Kim Carrey and Milla Jovovich, there were also older people like Billy Crystal, Aaron Kootch, Thomas Miller, and Justin Chang.

They are senior filmmakers who have seen many horror movies and thought they would not be scared.

It's just that this movie, 'Paranormal Activity,' is filmed in a live-like manner, filming strange sounds, filming the daily lives of the male and female protagonists, which is very immersive.

They experience terrifying events with the male and female protagonists, and they also emotionally immerse themselves in the characters.

When the male and female protagonists are frightened, they will also subconsciously scream.

When everyone is screaming in fright, the atmosphere will not become heated, but will become even more terrifying, and even be frightened by the screams of the people around them.

"Sam, you should have told me earlier that this movie was scary. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come. I hate horror movies."

Jennifer Connelly blocked her ears with her fingers and closed her eyes tightly.

"This is a new type of horror movie. You are an actress, you should learn more about it."

Sam Haskell smiled.

Although it was the second time watching it and he was more familiar with the plot, Sam Haskell still didn't dare to stare at the door.

Whenever he heard the hollow sound and saw the footprints on the floor, he would still feel a chill down his spine and his hair standing on end.

This feeling made Sam Haskell very excited.

This is Link's second movie, and it is also a very crucial one. This movie is still terrifying even after watching it twice, which means the movie viewing experience is very good.

The box office results may be very good after its release.

As long as this movie is successful, Link will be able to gain a foothold in the film industry and become a famous young director.

And he is Link's agent.

There are many benefits.

"Ah!!!"

"It's too scary, I'm not watching!"

"Damn it, why do I always feel like there's something behind me?"

"This movie is not right."

Many people in the theater screamed, and some were so scared that they jumped up, and some girls were so scared that they huddled together.

The movie, which was originally only eight points scary, became ten points scary in the screams of these audiences.

Thanks to book friend 'silent * star' for the reward.
