Hollywood Drawing

When the premiere at the China Theater began, a total of 2,000 advance screenings across the United States also began screenings.

The film's official release date is Friday, early tomorrow morning. But there were many movie fans who wanted to watch the movie in advance. Ector Henry took his girlfriend Daisy's hand and walked to the door of his alma mater again.

The boy, who had just finished his day's work, didn't bother to change out of his cheap suit. The girl, who was also dressed like a white-collar lady wearing a skirt, hurried over together.

However, their attire is not special. The seven friends who were together at the beginning were all dressed in the same way. The few people I had less contact with after graduation all have busy jobs, and all of them have lost their youthfulness in their student days.

"Hurry up, I'm just waiting for you two. Fortunately, I didn't work overtime today and bought early movie tickets in advance. Let's go quickly."

The little fat man who used to like to collect models related to monster movies now also wears large-sized suits. He was lucky and entered a good company as an intern after graduation.

Ector Henry followed the crowd and chatted with everyone. After a few words, the strange feeling of being separated for a year disappeared.

They are both children from middle-class families, and their similar family environments allow them to have more common topics. Even the problems and worries they encounter after work are not much different.

With tickets for the 8:55 pm movie, several people rushed to the theater around 8:30. Just like before, they all sat in the seating area and waited for the movie to start.

"Ector."

The little fat man patted him on the shoulder, with a sincere smile on his face. This kind of smile is very rare after work. "Congratulations. I didn't expect you to be the last to find an internship, but to be able to enter a company as big as Warner Bros. It's simply unbelievable!"

"Thank you. To be honest, I probably took advantage of watching more movies."

Speaking of this, Ector Henry still seemed to be in a dream. That day he was in Burbank, the media capital, applying for jobs at one company after another. Just when he was feeling frustrated, he didn't expect that things would turn around in the afternoon.

Applying for an intern position in Warner Bros.'s distribution department was definitely the most courageous thing he ever did. At that time, I thought that all the small advertising companies had rejected him one by one, so why not give it a try?

Things were far easier than he thought. The interview questions were basically related to movies, but this aspect was the part he was best at and the part he was least interested in.

In recent years, the film market has been muddied by two big crocodiles, Wayne Greenberg and Steven Spielberg. However, he especially likes to pay attention to this aspect and can analyze various aspects. The impact of a marketing plan on a film.

This is the whole secret of his smooth entry into Warner Bros. Without any special circumstances, he directly became an intern in the distribution department. After several months of hard work, becoming a regular employee has become a certainty.

"do you know?"

Ector Henry grinned and showed off to his friends: "I participated in the distribution of movie copies of "The Return of the Clown."

His girlfriend Daisy rolled her eyes. He had shown off this to himself several times, almost every day after get off work.

"Hey, Ector, I really hope to get Wayne Greenberg's autograph one day. I heard that very few of these things come out. If you have a chance to meet him in the future, remember to ask for a few more copies for everyone. "

Under everyone's expectant gazes, he puffed out his chest and blurted out. "No problem, I will definitely ask for a few more when the time comes!"

Hearing that her boyfriend was in bragging mode, Daisy shook her head helplessly and turned her attention to the movie theater.

The advance screening of "Return of the Clown" was not as deserted as she imagined. It was about ten minutes before the show started, but there were already about a hundred people waiting.

This situation is simply contrary to common sense. More than 90% of these fans waiting in groups are young people. She also found that many people's attire was almost exactly the same as hers, and they obviously all rushed over after work.

Today is a working day, but tomorrow will still be a working day. So many people give up their precious rest time just to watch the movie two days in advance. The charm of "The Return of the Clown" is most likely underestimated by the media.

"Hey guys, stop talking."

Daisy interrupted the conversation between several friends, pointed to the growing crowd and said: "Ours is going to line up now, there are no less than 120 people in the hall."

Several people looked at the crowd that seemed to appear suddenly, glanced at each other, stood up in unison, and walked to the ticket gate to prepare to queue up early.

They knew that Daisy's warning was right. If they squeezed in at the back, they would have to waste half a day trying to find a seat in the movie theater.

They were not the only ones who had this idea. When they lined up and waited to enter, more people also took the initiative to line up early. After a while, the team behind Ector Henry began to turn around in the hall. , which means there are too many people.

"Oh my god, this early show of "The Return of the Clown" won't be full, right?"

The person who spoke was the investigator waiting at the ticket gate. He was sent by Warner Bros. to collect questionnaires. The more people there were, the greater the workload he had to put in.

"Haywood, you are destined to be very busy tonight." The theater ticket inspector ran back from the front desk. "I just asked the ticket seller. More than 90% of the tickets for the early screening of "The Return of the Clown" have been sold. As long as all the ticket-buying audiences come in, there will be about 150 people."

Heywood looked at the dizzying crowd, shook his head and retreated a few meters away. The ticket inspector had already started letting people go one by one in advance. He was afraid that letting people go late would cause unnecessary confusion.

Hundreds of people are crowded together, and no one can guarantee what bad things will happen.

This crowded scene reminded Haywood of the movie "Get Out". He was an investigator on that film, and he was also an investigator in charge of theaters for communities of color in downtown Los Angeles.

That time was just like today, except that the skin color was not as white as now. A movie for entertainment could make the gangsters put down their work and queue up to watch the movie in the cinema. The weird and fantastic scene left a deep impression on him.

Suddenly, he still missed the theater surrounded by iron cages. The second time that situation happened in that theater, it was another Wayne Greenberg film, the "Joker" that swept the world.

Once again, let those black guys enter the theater and watch it again and again.

I just don't know if this "The Return of the Clown" can have the same effect. Thinking of this, he shook his head. It shouldn't be possible. The social incitement caused by those two films was too great, and it made those black guys feel the same.

This film is just a pure horror film, and it is basically impossible to cause such a big social response.

Daisy and the other seven were the first to enter the theater and were the first to sit down safely. Looking at the crowd entering in a chaotic manner behind them, they were all very lucky to have entered earlier.

Sitting in the row in front of them was a couple, each holding popcorn and Coke while waiting for food. They chatted quietly and waited for the movie to start. From time to time, you could hear the "click" and "click" of popcorn. the sound of.

Seeing the performance of these two people, Daisy and the little fat man looked at each other, opened their mouths and laughed silently, and several friends also laughed silently.

Eat popcorn and drink Coke while watching Wayne Greenberg’s work? How courageous is this? Moreover, it is a masterpiece that returns to the horror genre, and there will definitely be something good to watch soon.

Amid the commotion, the lights in the screening room were turned off, the voices of chatter gradually became quieter, the beam of light projected by the projector hit the curtain, and the film officially started.

After Warner Bros.'s opening commercial, the story officially entered. Except for the occasional sound of chewing popcorn, the theater became completely quiet.

Most of the people who are willing to come to the early screening are fans of this type of film, which makes the viewing order in the theater particularly good.

At the beginning of the story, when the little boy chased the paper boat to the sewer entrance and innocently reached in to pick up the boat, many emotional girls, including Daisy, shouted out. "Don't pick it up."

"Ah, ah!"

"ohmy..."

"Oh my god!"

"God!"

As soon as the girls finished speaking, before they could close their mouths, there was a scream.

Daisy grabbed her boyfriend's arm and pushed her head into Hector Henry's arms. However, she still stared at the big screen with squinting eyes. The initial scene flashed by and the story officially entered the small screen. Actor's perspective.

The background of each child is narrated by the camera, and more and more horror elements are interspersed.

When the heroine was tied up with blood-stained hair and pulled closer to the sewer mouth, and then the blood spurted out wildly, dyeing the entire bathroom red, the horror of this period completely reached its climax.

Like a girl who likes horror movies, Daisy would lie in her boyfriend's arms and scream from time to time, but she couldn't help but look away, her eyes never leaving the front.

When this scene that caused fear among more than a hundred people in the auditorium appeared, these seven friends laughed. The couple sitting in the front row, who had been chewing popcorn for a long time, screamed together and sprayed countless crumbs from their mouths, just like the plasma spewing on the big screen.

That's not all. They sprayed out chewed popcorn, as well as clearly visible saliva and cola, all of which sprayed on the two backs of the couple's heads in front!

This was very embarrassing. Hundreds of people were horrified together, including some senior horror movie fans. The lovely Ketto Henry and the others were happy, but the couple in front were in no mood to explain to the fans who were glaring at them. They were choked and lay on the chairs coughing non-stop.

"So Daisy, don't eat popcorn when watching horror movies, especially Wayne Greenberg horror movies!" Hector Henry joked, hugging his girlfriend and returning his attention to the movie.
