The cinema was silent. When less than 20 people''s eyes were focused on the screen, the door of the projection hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A man with fluffy hair and glasses came in. He saw a lot of audience cast disgusting eyes, quickly showed a embarrassed smile, and casually found a back seat to sit down.

    The film is about to start showing. Similar to Jones Butler in the middle, this man also takes out his pen and book. His name is Tony gusman. He is also a professional film viewer from Fox Searchlight.

    Unlike the first three people who were invited by bill rosis, Tony gusman occasionally came here and saw that a movie was about to be shown, so he decided to come in.

    In fact, before the beginning of every film festival, most of the films with quality assurance will be screened out by the Organizing Committee and shown in relatively prominent cinemas and time. Most of the professional buyers of major companies are staring at that film.

    However, among the neglected films, there are not high profit films. For example, "the witch Blair" was first discovered by Lion Gate in the roadside screening.

    As we all know, it''s easier to find good movies in the park city theater area, where there are more companies and buyers to watch movies, so the competition is naturally more fierce. There are not a few people like Tony gusman who go around and look for projects in remote places.

    Before the screening, Tony gusman specially looked at the front and confirmed that there were not many peers. In such a remote cinema, films with a cost of no more than $300000 could not attract too many people.

    Sure enough, at the beginning of the film, it''s just marked with dry subtitles that the production company is from Stanton film studio, and it doesn''t even have a title image

    Stanton studio? Tony Goodman asked himself that he had a lot of experience, but he had never heard of such a film company.

    It seems that it''s the humble sparrow company at the bottom of Los Angeles. The name of the director later also confirms this. Murphy Stanton, who the hell knows who he is

    Tony gusman can''t help feeling disappointed. He leans back on the back of his seat and intends to look at the beginning. If the beginning is not attractive, there''s no need to waste time.

    More than ten seconds of subtitles flashed by, black and white screen appeared on the screen, the camera seemed to shake a little, a female audience sitting in front of Murphy suddenly muttered a curse, "Damn, it''s this kind of ghost thing again."

    "Shh..." Her boyfriend made a silent gesture, "Daisy, be quiet."

    The young girl named Daisy still complained, "since" the witch Blair ", there have been a lot of inexplicable movies, hand shooting, camera shaking, first person, disgusting vomiting!"

    "Can we still make a good movie?" She didn''t stop. "Can you make people watch movies?"

    Murphy looked at her and realized that this was the negative effect of "the witch Blair". The marketing more than a year ago was a magic stroke, but it also overdrawn the market in a short time. The audience who had just been a pawn would inevitably complain and dislike the same kind of films. But the North American film circle was popular. Many people wanted to imitate this success, but it backfired It is difficult to succeed in itself, but it also further overdraw the market of the same type of films.

    However, the girl in the man''s persuasion, soon quiet down.

    Seeing the black-and-white image and the shaking lens, Jones Butler secretly shakes her head, thinking that this is another kind of movie imitating "the witch Blair". As a professional buyer from Miramax, she knows enough about the market and knows that this kind of movie is of little value nowadays.

    However, the camera only shakes a few times, and then stabilizes. A big hand covers the camera. It seems that someone has put the camera on the shelf. At the same time, the wailing voice of a woman is not high, but it is very sad, as if she is experiencing inhuman torture.

    "Er..." The girl named Daisy opened her mouth slightly. "What happened?"

    When the big hand turned the camera, Daisy immediately covered her mouth and said to herself, "Oh, my..."

    There is a picture of a girl lying on the grass, her face full of swelling, her hair dripping, and her face full of blood

    Although the picture is black and white, it''s still frightening, especially when the girl is only 13 or 14 years old. It''s a beautiful age of youth. Why does it look like this?

    The answer then appears. The big hand appears in the picture, clenching into a fist and falling. A gray figure appears, but the camera is not completely covered. The picture clearly shows the fist falling on the girl''s nose.

    Juice splashed, the girl''s head is like being hit by a car in general, suddenly backward, this shows the strength of the punch.

    Violence Chiguoguo''s violence! Jones Butler wrote it down in his book.

    "You are very proud, you think you are great..."

    A crazy man''s voice rang out, the gray body turned to the camera lens, "I like a girl of your age, I use all means to please you, but you do not accept my pursuit, this is the punishment!"Just a word, he confessed his identity and personality - abnormal, extreme and love. Pedophilia!

    His words are ferocious, but his face with glasses seems gentle and kind, forming a strange contrast in the picture.

    "The actor''s performance is good, make-up is also good..." Tony gusman chin, "director lens use is also excellent, express this kind of appearance and internal contrast, lens can''t have any mistakes."

    The fierce adult man and the miserable little girl, one to be punished, the other to beg, form a strong contrast, but also led to the conflict in the opening play.

    Watching the film, Daisy unconsciously stood in the little girl''s position, looking forward to the Savior coming down from the sky, saving the girl who was shrouded in death.

    However, a sharp wallpaper knife broke her fantasy. The man came up to the girl, grabbed her long hair, and put the blade on the white throat.

    “please……” The girl''s cry makes people can''t bear to continue to watch.

    The man makes a stroke of the knife, and the screen is black

    Murphy breathed out a breath, and the shot of cutting his throat in the back was cut off by him and Griffith during the fine cutting. Although it was a black-and-white shot, it was hard to say that MPAA would not give a NC-17 to such a scene.

    The screen lights up again, and the picture turns into color. It''s the same man who was sitting in front of the computer just now. The camera moves up step by step, and finally shows the screen in a close-up way, with an online chat on it.

    Seeing the chat record, Daisy couldn''t help mentioning that another girl was going to be killed?

    Jones Butler turned to Murphy, who obviously knew how to control the rhythm and motivate the viewer.
