The theater was silent, and when the eyes of less than twenty viewers were concentrated 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 could not see The few viewers cast disgusting glances, quickly showed an embarrassed smile, and randomly found a back seat and sat down.

The movie is about to start showing. Similar to Jones Butler in the middle, this man also took out his pen and notebook. His name is Tony Guzman, who is also a professional filmmaker from Fox Searchlight.

Unlike the previous three who were invited by Bill Rossis, Tony Guzman moved here occasionally and saw a movie about to be screened, so he came in temporarily.

In fact, before the beginning of each film festival, most of the films with guaranteed quality will basically be screened out by the organizing committee and shown in relatively conspicuous theaters and time. Most professional buyers from major companies are watching That piece.

However, among the neglected films, it is not that there have been high-profit films. For example, "Blair the Witch" was originally discovered by artisans on the roadside.

Everyone knows that it’s easier to find good movies in the Park City Theater Concentration Area, where there are more companies and buyers to watch movies, and the competition is naturally fiercer. People like Tony Guzman going around and looking for projects in remote locations are not a few. .

Before the start of the screening, Tony Guzman looked ahead and confirmed that there are not many peers. Such remote theaters are showing films that cost no more than US$300,000, and it is impossible to attract too many people.

Sure enough, the beginning of the film just marked with dry subtitles that the production company was from Stanton Film Studio, and there was no title image...

Stanton Studio? Tony Guzman asked himself broadly, but he had never heard of such a film company.

It seems that it is the kind of humble sparrow company at the bottom of Los Angeles. The name of the director that appeared afterwards also confirms this. Murphy Stanton, the ghost knows who he is...

Tony Guzman was a little disappointed, leaning completely on the back of the seat. He planned to look at the beginning. If the beginning is not attractive, there is no need to continue wasting time.

Ten seconds of subtitles flashed quickly, black and white images appeared on the screen, and the camera seemed to be a little jerky. A female audience sitting in front of Murphy suddenly cursed in a low voice, "Damn, it's this kind of ghost again."

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

The young girl named Daisy still complained, "Since "Blair the Witch", there have been many inexplicable films, shot by hand, camera shakes, first-person, boring and nauseous!"

"Can you make a good movie!" She didn't stop, "Can you let people watch the movie well!"

Murphy tilted his head and looked at her, and understood that this was a negative effect brought about by "Blair the Witch". The marketing campaign more than a year ago was a magical touch, but it overdrawn the market in a short period of time and was an audience member who had just been in the market. It is inevitable to complain and dislike the same type of films. However, the North American film circle is following the trend. Many people want to imitate this success. The result is backfired. It is difficult to say that it is difficult to succeed, and it further overdrafts the market of the same type of film.

However, the girl quickly calmed down under the persuasion of her male partner.

Seeing the black-and-white images and the shaking lens, Jones-Butler secretly shook his head, thinking that this was another film imitating the type of "Blair the Witch". As a professional buyer from Miramax, she was right The market has enough understanding to know that this kind of film is of little value today.

But the lens only shook for a few times before it stabilized. A big hand covered the lens. It seemed that someone had placed the camera on a shelf. At the same time, Ruo Ruowu women wailed. The sound was not high, but very loud. It's miserable, as if experiencing inhuman torture.

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

The big hand turned the camera, Daisy immediately covered her mouth and whispered to herself, "OH, MY..."

In the black and white picture, a girl is lying on the ground, her raised face is covered with scars, her eyebrows burst open, her mouth is swollen, her skin is cracked, her hair is scattered, and drops of blood flow onto the grass...

Although the picture is black and white, this look is still shocking, especially the girl looks thirteen or fourteen years old, it is the beautiful age of youth, why become this look?

The answer then appeared. The big hand appeared in the screen, clenched into a fist and fell down, and a gray back appeared, but it did not completely block the camera. The fist fell on the girl's nose clearly. Scene.

The juice splashed all over, and the girl's head seemed to be hit by a car, and she slammed backwards, showing the power of the punch.

Violence... Chiguoguo's violence! Jones Butler made a note in the notebook.

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

A mad man's voice sounded, and the gray body turned around, facing the camera lens, "I like a girl of your age. I use every means to please you, but you don't accept my pursuit. This is punishment! "

In just one sentence, he confessed his identity and personality-abnormal, extreme, and pedophile!

His words were fierce and violent, but his face with glasses seemed gentle and kind, forming a peculiar contrast in the picture.

"The actor's performance is good, the makeup is good..." Tony Guzman put his chin up, "The director's shots are also very good, to express this contrast between appearance and inner, there can be no mistakes in the shots."

The ferocious adult man and the miserable little girl, one to be punished, the other to plead, formed a strong contrast, and also led to the conflict in the opening scene.

Watching the film, Daisy unconsciously stood in the position of the little girl, hoping that the savior would descend from the sky and save the girl who was shrouded in death.

However, a sharp wallpaper knife broke her illusion. The man walked up to the girl, grabbed her long hair, and placed the blade on the white-looking throat.

"Please..." The girl's pleading voice made people unbearable to keep watching.

The man made a stroke of a knife, and the screen went blank...

Murphy let out a sigh of relief. The shot behind the cut throat was cut by him and Griffith during the fine cut. Although it was a black and white shot, it is hard to say that the MPAA would not give an NC-17 for such a scene. .

The screen lights up again, and the picture turns to color. It's the same man who was sitting in front of the computer. The camera moves up step by step, and finally shows the screen in close-up mode, on which is a web chat.

Seeing the chat log, Daisy couldn't help but raise her heart, is there another girl who is going to be brutally murdered?

Jones Butler turned his head and glanced at Murphy. This guy obviously knows how to control the rhythm and mobilize the viewer's emotions.
