Chapter 149
At Fenghuo Entertainment, Secretary Gao, who had just received this month's salary, couldn't be happy at all. Well, it wasn't because his boss suddenly cut his salary, but just now, the tickets for the new season of Sparkling Fire were available for purchase again. Secretary Gao was just unlucky. Since Sparkling Fire was launched, he hadn't been able to get a ticket once.
As a veteran fan of Director Huan, my fan journey would definitely be incomplete if I hadn’t been to Sparkling Raoyuan.
As a qualified husband, if you can't grab a ticket to "Sparks of Prophecy" to take your wife to "Sparks of Prophecy" for their honeymoon, you are even less qualified!
Fortunately, the stars shine brightly on those who are on the road. Just today, just now, Secretary Gao’s good luck finally broke out and he got a ticket to the Spark.
Then why is he still sighing?
Looking at the time on the ticket, it was neither too early nor too late, exactly the day Zhu Tian returned. Secretary Gao used his elite secretary-general brain to calculate and confirm again and again, and it was correct, it was that day.
Although Zhu Tian's return is a big event, it should not affect Secretary Gao's normal life and travel. However, don't forget that on the day of the new star's return, he and his wife's common idol, Director Huan, will release a new video to welcome the return of the new family members.
Secretary Gao calculated with his fingers and found that, by coincidence, taking into account the time difference between Zhutian and Cangtian, the premiere time of Director Huan's new work also happened to be the prime time for playing in Sparkling Raoyuan.
Although she hadn't actually been to Spark Park, Secretary Gao had already made a ton of guides for the attractions. Whether it was a haunted house, an escape room, or many other experiences, none of them were the kind you could stop midway through. You couldn't just say to the NPC in the haunted house:
"Iron Juice, wait for me for two hours. Wait until I finish watching Director Huan's new movie before you come and scare us."
Now the tough choices arise.
Sparks Spreading Across the Land is the long-awaited holiday for Secretary Gao and his wife. However, as veteran fans of Director Huan, with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and collecting addiction, they really don't want to miss the premiere of any of Director Huan's films.
Secretary Gao sighed for the hundred and first time today. It was too difficult. Why couldn't he have his cake and eat it too?
Secretary Gao never expected that the problem he was worried about could actually be solved. Just half an hour before getting off work, the official website of Xinghuo and the homepage of Xinghuo Liaoyuan released new news notifications.
The new area of "Eden" in "Sparks of Fire" has opened in advance at the retro Blue Star offline cinema. Grab a glass of sparkling water and a bucket of popcorn, and join other audiences in the theater to experience the offline movie-watching experience, screaming and laughing with other audiences.
With the development of interstellar society and the booming entertainment industry, countless films of all sizes are released every day. Not only has the scheduling of offline cinemas become a problem, but also disadvantages such as environmental problems and time issues have caused offline cinemas to gradually be replaced by online viewing, which does not require going out to queue and wasting travel, and provides more free time.
If you want to interact with others, there are countless netizens in the barrage area when watching movies online. It’s so fun to watch the movie and joke together. If you don’t want to be disturbed, you can also turn on the no barrage mode.
In short, due to various reasons, offline cinemas have long been eliminated by society.
Seeing the announcement released by Xinghuo, Secretary Gao did not expect that one day he would be so grateful for the existence of offline cinemas. So what if they were eliminated?
As long as he and his wife can have fun in Sparkling Catalana and not miss the premiere of the new drama, he will be grateful.
At this moment, Secretary Gao didn't think he was unlucky anymore, and he laughed very arrogantly, hahahaha. He and his wife were the first lucky ones to experience the Eden experience area which was opened in advance!
Different audiences hold different opinions on the establishment of the Sparking Liaoyuan offline cinema, but most of them, like Secretary Gao, have good intentions.
Although some of them questioned the viewing experience of offline cinemas, there was no problem with Spark. Who can guarantee that when they buy tickets to visit, there will be no new Spark movie released on the same day?
It is said that in the future, on the day of a film premiere, offline cinemas in the Eden area will play the new film simultaneously with the online version, so that audiences watching in the venues do not have to worry about missing the premiere.
At other times, the cinema will also play famous films directed by Spark directors in a loop, and the audience can choose their favorite films to watch. This is also a point that the audience particularly likes, which is enough to make everyone tolerate the legendary "naughty children ruining the atmosphere" that may appear in offline cinemas.
Even if the offline movie experience is not as good, it doesn't matter. Watching Spark's movies in Sparkling Fire and reliving the classics is a very meaningful thing in itself.
Every design of Sparkling Fire always hits the mark for me as a fan, making it my absolute favorite theme city. Personally, it's my absolute favorite!
As for the offline moviegoing experience, I'll be joining many other audience members. Most of the people who came to "Sparks on Fire" are fans of the film. It feels like an offline fan gathering, which is pretty cool. I just happened to get tickets on the first day of availability, so I'm looking forward to it.
[The family upstairs is very lucky, let me get some good luck ww]
…
Amidst everyone's expectations and concerns for Director Huan, the Zhu Tianxing merger came as expected, and Director Huan's new drama "Eden" from Xinghuo Entertainment was also released on all platforms simultaneously with Xinghuo Liaoyuan.
The official website of Xinghuo Entertainment released a link to watch the movie: [The Bible records such a sacred and beautiful place. It is an incomparable paradise, full of vitality, harmony and stability. It is the last unpolluted paradise in the world.
Xinghuo Entertainment's new work, the large-scale disaster film "Eden" is coming!
As dusk falls, tranquility is no longer a gentle lullaby. A virus spreads across the globe, dragging human society from its glorious pinnacle into an endless abyss of darkness. When despair shrouds the earth, when the prosperity of the past becomes a bubble, when our former compatriots become bloodthirsty zombies, when every minute and every second becomes a countdown to life, where will we go?
@Xinghuo Entertainment Huan Xu @Actor Qin Dongxiao @Actor Cheng Gaoxiang @Specially Invited Xiang Hai @......
The end is near, and there is no escape. Where exactly does the journey end?
The film is about to begin, hurry up and buy your doomsday ticket, and listen to this cry of despair with us! 】
The promotional poster echoes the title of the film. The sun shines through the thin clouds and gently falls on the earth. The oasis below extends to the endless horizon. The stream gurgles, and flowers bloom in clusters of various colors. Butterflies spread their wings and fly among the flowers. Combined with the warm-toned filter, the beauty of nature makes people relax.
However, don't forget that this is not a real paradise, but a disaster movie.
With the river as the dividing line, what is reflected in it is no longer the paradise created by God, but the completely opposite apocalyptic scene. The dilapidated and decaying city is filled with smoke, and countless people with unclear faces and strange postures are standing on the road, looking around as if they are looking for something.
The audience of Interstellar naturally regarded the "people" wandering in the disaster-stricken city as homeless refugees, and subconsciously assigned them reasonable identities in their minds. What they were looking for should be the legendary paradise without disasters.
We can’t say that the audiences of Interstellar are wrong, but we can’t say that they are completely right either. After watching the film, the audiences of Interstellar will find the real answer:
The "zombies" do want to find the Garden of Eden where people who have not been infected gather together, in order to "occupy" it, because there is "food" there that is extremely attractive to their instinctive desire.
There is a sentence below the poster: You have to keep moving forward until the lights come on.
On the other side, the Sparking Prairie Theme City.
Secretary Gao was in high spirits and came to the Sparkling Theme City with Xu Yue early in the morning.
The two of them also had a clear goal. After entering the theme city, they went straight to the cinema, bought tickets for the premiere, reserved seats, and then went to other places to play. When the movie was about to start, they immediately ended their entertainment and waited to enter.
Sparks of Prologue also issued a city-wide notice one hour before the movie was released, reminding tourists and friends that if they want to watch the movie on time, they should not enter the large-scale experience projects for the time being.
Secretary Gao and Xu Yue looked at each other. Xu Yue took Secretary Gao's hand and said, "Old Gao, let's go. The ticket lady reminded us that we can check in and enter the venue 20 minutes in advance."
"Honey, give me three minutes. There's a milk tea shop over there. The guide says it's better to watch a movie offline with popcorn and milk tea."
Along the way, the closer they got to the Garden of Eden, the more "like-minded" people they met. They listened to the chatter of people around them.
There were many people who had the same idea as the young couple. Fortunately, on the day of the premiere, "Eden" was being screened simultaneously in several theaters, and several theaters could accommodate thousands of people.
"I heard that zombies are the same thing as 'dead' humans. Will it be like in the haunted house, where the zombie king runs into the village and starts killing people?"
"Damn it, wouldn't that bring back the horrors of the Red and White Happiness Festival?"
"It's okay. We're going to watch it in a theater this time. One theater can accommodate more than a hundred people. I'm sure I won't be scared with so many people around."
"As a Yantian, I'm so blessed to be able to see our home planet's specialties in a disaster movie. Perfect!"
"When did zombies become a specialty of Yantian Star!?"
"Alas, Director Huan must have felt that we Zhu Tianren were too pitiful, so he thought of opening a cinema to let more people accompany us."
When Secretary Gao first heard that Director Huan was going to reopen offline cinemas, after the joy of having the best of both worlds, he was still worried about others. However, now, seeing the passers-by around him chatting and laughing in anticipation of watching the movie, his heart is much more at ease.
Secretary Gao also chatted quietly with Xu Yue: "It seems that everyone is looking forward to Director Huan's film."
Xu Yue raised his chin proudly: "That's for sure. Director Huan will definitely not let everyone down."
After getting the tickets, Secretary Gao and Xu Yue lined up together to enter the theater. After entering the theater, they took their seats according to the seat numbers on the tickets.
"Wait, don't throw away the ticket stub!"
Secretary Gao almost threw the ticket stub into the trash can when passing by it, but fortunately Xu Yue stopped him in time.
"Hmm?" Secretary Gao looked back innocently, only to see Xu Yue snatch the ticket stub, carefully flatten it, and carefully put it into her bag. After making sure there were no wrinkles, she zipped up the bag with satisfaction.
Xu Yue: "You almost committed a serious crime."
Secretary Gao also realized it belatedly and broke out in a cold sweat: "Wife, I plead guilty."
In addition to the promotional illustration of the movie, the movie ticket also has a number covered with a layer of blood. When picking up the ticket, the machine also reminded me that with the unique number on the ticket stub, I can receive limited-edition peripherals after the movie. This is also another small benefit of watching movies in the Spark of the Liaoyuan cinema.
Secretary Gao slapped his head and said: How could I forget such an important thing!
Even if there is no prize, just keeping the beautifully designed ticket stub is a souvenir. Judging from my wife's expression, I think that's what she thinks.
Secretary Gao secretly took note of it and immediately made a "commemorative album" for his wife to collect movie tickets after returning home.
Secretary Gao, Xu Yue and other audience members all took their seats early, waiting for the film to start with curiosity and anxiety.
Secretary Gao wanted to show off his boyfriend power, so he whispered to Xu Yue, "Wife, if you get scared later, just tell me. I'll protect you, and you won't be afraid anymore."
Xu Yue couldn't help but think of the time when they watched Red and White and Tomb Raiders together. If she remembered correctly, it was her husband Gao who tried every means to find her to accompany him to the toilet.
However, facing Secretary Gao's firm gaze, which vowed to restore his dignity, Xu Yue sighed inwardly and nodded silently.
Secretary Gao also made a scissors hand gesture in his heart. He could finally let his wife see his boyfriend power. It was just a disaster movie, so the horror level should be average. Besides, he is not the same person he used to be. In order to become stronger and to protect his wife, he gritted his teeth and secretly watched the appearance clip of Brother Zongzi many times. He has become immune to it!
All the lights in the theater went out, and the theater fell into darkness for a short time. Then, the entire three-dimensional surround screen at the front of the viewing area lit up, and the exclusive gold-plated logo of Xinghuo Production appeared in the center of the screen. This opening has become the exclusive process and ritual of retro theater movies since then.
The curtain slowly opens, and the Garden of Eden is about to begin.
The viewing area, which was originally filled with low conversations, became quiet. Before coming, everyone carefully read the viewing instructions. In order to maintain the image of high-quality fans, no audience member wanted to be the unethical and conspicuous person.
The giant screen slowly lit up, and a line of words slowly appeared against the noisy black background.
At first, no one cared that it was a disaster.
This was nothing more than a bad joke, a poor show, and a confused speech made by a drunk subordinate.
Then the screen quickly presented several scenes in the form of flashback.
In the picture, there are raging fires everywhere in the streets, and the sounds of car horns, police sirens, and ambulance sirens are mixed together in a chaotic manner. From time to time, the crying of children and the screams of women and men can be heard.
…
"Officer, my husband, he, he, is standing up again, please save me!"
"Don't be nervous. Please tell me in detail about your current situation."
"He died yesterday, but he's standing up again today, and he's walking towards me..."
"Ma'am, you will be held accountable for making a false police report."
"No, don't—"
Beep, beep, the call was hung up.
…
"Commander, requesting support, something unbelievable has happened in this city!"
"Request for support! Ah, they're standing up again."
"Could you please repeat that?"
"The dead are alive!"
…
"Please protect yourselves, stay at home unless necessary, and wait for rescue. The country will not abandon any citizen."
"Please protect yourselves, unless necessary--" The line signal was suddenly cut off.
…
Until this disaster is closely related to everyone.
Director Huan took less than a minute to attract all the audience.
Secretary Gao couldn't help but rub his raised hairs at this moment, and suddenly had an ominous premonition. From the current point of view, the disaster created in the movie has a wider impact than just one village or a town.
The story continues.
In the film, the hero Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he was lying on the hospital bed. The hospital gown and bandages on his body all told that he had suffered serious injuries.
He staggered to his feet slowly, pressing his still swollen temples, and for a moment he couldn't remember what had happened.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
Lu Ming spoke in a hoarse voice, but no one responded to him.
He tried to get out of bed and look for the nurse's bell, but he found nothing after searching around. He was not in a ward, but rather a storage room. At this moment, he saw the densely packed tables and chairs outside the door out of the corner of his eye, and frowned in confusion.
If this was a hospital, it was indeed a bit too quiet, even a bit eerie.
Lu Ming took a quick look at his body. Apart from a few scabbed wounds, the most seriously injured part was probably his head. After confirming that there was no problem with his movement, Lu Ming tried to open the door, but the tables and chairs at the door were as motionless as a small mountain.
He recalled the memories before being admitted to the hospital, but the pain in his head made it impossible for him to remember what had happened.
"Ding ding ding!" Lu Ming slammed the door hard. If he wanted to go out, he could only rely on the people outside the door to move the debris away.
"Is anyone there?" Lu Ming shouted.
There has been no response.
Just when Lu Ming was about to find another way out, there was a rustling sound outside the door.
Lu Ming looked through the transparent glass window on the door towards the source of the sound and vaguely saw an old man crawling on the ground, trying hard to move a pile of miscellaneous tables and chairs with his hands.
The situation now seemed even more bizarre. Lu Ming tried his best to be polite and spoke to the person outside the door: "Thank you, old man. Why don't you get up first, and I will..." and think of other ways.
Lu Ming's voice stopped abruptly.
Although the old man did not give any response, he still pushed the tables and chairs with his dry hands.
But his head rose stiffly little by little in the direction of the sound.
"Buzz" The moment he saw the old man's face, Lu Ming took a step back suddenly, and his back hit the storage rack behind him. However, Lu Ming seemed not to feel the burning dull pain, and his brain was still buzzing.
"Hiss--" The audience couldn't help but gasp when they saw the old man raise his head, and the more timid audience members were trying hard to suppress their screams.
I saw that half of the old man's face had been drooped, and the other half looked like it had been torn off by a wild beast, leaving only bones.
This is clearly not a living human being, if it can even be called a "human".
Secretary Gao's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He tried hard to calm himself down to avoid embarrassing himself in front of his wife, but his stiff body betrayed him.
Lu Ming, with a pale face, slowly moved his body backwards until his whole body was pressed against the wall, barely supporting his body that was about to fall.
"This...what is this thing?" Lu Ming was still in shock, but the bad news didn't seem to be the only one. Soon, more and more roars continued to be heard outside the door, and more "monsters" gathered, representing the desire of this group of "monsters" for fresh life.
“Crack—”
The tables and chairs at the door seemed to have been pushed and moved a little.
Lu Ming tried his best to suppress his pounding heart. He bent down and moved to the windowsill, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
Outside the window, countless monsters were either walking or crawling. Lu Ming even saw that some "people" had only half of their bodies left, but they were still greedily gnawing on something.
Lu Ming closed his eyes in despair. If there is a hell, it should be like this.
However, before he could calm down, as more and more monsters gathered outside the door, the speed of moving the tables and chairs became faster and faster. Perhaps it would not be long before these monsters would break in.
The audience in the theater also clenched their fists nervously, as if they were the ones in the room at that moment. There were also soft whispers from the audience, and they were desperately urging in their hearts:
"Run!"
"No matter what, at least climb out of the window first. Staying here is definitely not an option."
"It feels like they're coming in, but once they do it's too late!"
In the last row of the audience, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap and a mask nodded secretly. He is a platinum director and also a fan of Huan Xu. In addition to "chasing stars", he also came here with the intention of "learning from others".
“The horror atmosphere at the beginning is just right, and the film is very good at creating the characters’ dilemmas and providing the audience with an exciting sense of tension.” The director wrote these down in a small notebook in his mind.
In the film, Lu Ming later found a way to go downstairs. Relying on the escape rope tied with the curtains, he kept moving down from the third floor. However, when he landed, he was unfortunately scratched on the feet and legs by the sharp glass.
At this time, many monsters heard the noise and walked towards the source of the sound in unison. Lu Ming, who had difficulty walking, could only dodge and move as hard as he could, using uneven railings, car doors, trees and other obstacles to block their steps.
A staggering man is being chased by a group of staggering zombies. To put it inappropriately, the scene is really funny.
Just as the blood on Lu Ming's legs was flowing more and more and his strength was becoming increasingly exhausted, he turned a few corners and when he passed a warehouse door, he was suddenly pulled into the house by a pair of big hands.
"Ah!" A scream was heard both inside and outside the movie.
