After the movie ended, many viewers sat in their chairs and listened to the ending song without getting up.
The name of this ending song is also called "Crying". It is the most desperate song sung by a gentle girl in the most tender tone.
If you simply listen to the lyrics of this song, you will only find it sad and beautiful, but after watching the movie and understanding the background of the song, the song becomes meaningful, full of a mother's infinite love for her unborn child. Even though the child has died, she is still full of affection and hopes to exchange her life for his health.
Bai Qiquan doesn't like sentimental movies. He thinks most of them are awkward. Resonance is something that can't be found easily. He is just a college student who grew up safely. His family members are all alive and well. He cannot understand the sadness of separation from life and death.
But this movie is a little different. In just over ninety minutes, he seemed to have experienced all the strange events in the hospital personally. Even when the mother, whose name he did not know, was telling her own story, Bai Qi seemed to empathize with her.
He didn't understand, but he was shocked.
It can only be attributed to the good director and the strong dialogue skills of the actors.
Many actors nowadays do not have the basic skills to deliver lines. They sound like they are pinching their throats when speaking, and they don’t know how to emphasize or emphasize things. Asking them to recite their lines is worse than a machine.
This is also why some movies and TV series, even though they are spoken in Mandarin, still have to be dubbed.
The movie ended, and it was a bit regrettable that there was no Easter egg.
The problem arose when the audience began to leave.
Many people couldn't stand up.
Either they were like Bai Qiquan, who was so frightened that his whole body was tense and his nerves were highly tense, resulting in numb legs; or they were like Pang Zhen, who was so frightened that his legs became weak.
So, it’s not that everyone really wants to listen to the ending song and be moved by it.
It's a physiological reason.
After a long while, someone finally stood up and walked towards the exit holding the chair next to him.
Bai Qiquan and his girlfriend also waited for a while, and only walked outside after they calmed down.
The mall was closed, and the dim lights made the shops that were busy during the day seem a little eerie. People leaving the cinema split into two groups, actually blocking the exit.
One of the waves was going to the bathroom, because almost no one dared to go to the bathroom alone during the movie, so after the movie ended, a lot of people, especially girls, went to the bathroom.
Another wave, a little funny, was afraid to walk through a shopping mall that was closed.
"Do we really have to walk through here? Is there any other way?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to take the elevator downstairs later. I'm a little scared."
"Can you ask the property management to turn on the lights? What if someone falls in this dark?"
Bai Qiquan found it a bit funny that a group of young people in their twenties were afraid to walk through the dim shopping mall to take the elevator.
At this time, a voice came out.
"You are already a grown-up, why are you scared like this?"
He was a tall boy. He went to see a movie with his friends. When he saw a group of people blocking the entrance of the cinema, he shouted.
"Then you go first."
The person next to him added.
"Let's go."
The boy and his friend walked forward and entered the shopping mall which was not actually very dark.
Seeing the two people walking away, the other spectators seemed relieved and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the front, which made everyone excited.
Then I saw the two boys who had been marching forward bravely just now running back in panic, rolling and crawling, without any trace of their previous bravery.
"It seems, it seems that there is something..."
The boy who had been fearless before pointed at the corner ahead with a trembling voice.
Everyone gasped.
"How about we go back and find the security guard?"
Someone suggested.
As people who went to the bathroom came back, more and more people gathered at the entrance of the cinema. Some people even took out their mobile phones to shoot videos and uploaded them to Weibo or Tomorrow Online's short video account.
Bai Qiquan thought about it. Although he was not too scared, his girlfriend obviously didn't want to take the elevator downstairs at this time.
Moreover, after what happened with the two boys, those who were originally a little nervous and hesitant were even more reluctant to go downstairs.
Some things are better to be believed!
He had no choice but to turn around and go back to the cinema.
There is no midnight show here, and the staff are preparing to pack up.
Bai Qiquan found a staff member and asked.
"Excuse me, could you lend us a high-power flashlight?"
"What do you need a flashlight for? There should be lights outside."
The staff was puzzled.
"Everyone... everyone was scared by the movie and didn't dare to go downstairs."
Bai Qiquan explained awkwardly.
The staff looked at him strangely, then at the other spectators gathered outside.
"Wait a moment."
He went to the utility room and got out a flashlight.
"Let me take you downstairs."
Finally, a very dedicated staff took the lead and finally led this group of terrified moviegoers out of the mall.
"Can you go home by yourself? I'll take you downstairs but I won't be responsible for sending you home."
He also joked.
Naturally, someone filmed this experience and uploaded it to the Internet.
The staff member felt something was strange. When he returned to the cinema, his colleagues had almost packed up and he was the last one to leave. After thinking about it, he became a little curious. How scary was the movie that caused these audiences to not even dare to go downstairs?
He went to the employees' rest area, turned on the movie, and prepared to watch it before going home.
…
That night, topics related to "The Cry" quietly fermented on Weibo.
In addition to Bai Qiquan's show, several other screenings of "The Wailing" also had problems to varying degrees.
For example, there was a scene where a parent insisted on taking his elementary school child to see this movie despite the staff's dissuasion. As a result, the child was scared and burst into tears and was taken out of the cinema.
For example, in one show, an audience member who needed to go to the restroom locked himself in the bathroom for some reason and cried wildly. He was rescued by the staff after a long time, and he scared several people who went to the bathroom.
For example, at the beginning of one scene, a couple was arguing, which disturbed other audiences, but as time went on, the noise died down, and by the end of the movie, the two had reconciled.
It is rare to see a group of people fall into fear and be unable to leave the cinema, as happened to Bai Qiquan.
How can those young people who are not motivated in class or work during the day, but are full of energy when browsing their mobile phones at night, listen to this?
That night, all the tickets for "The Cry" the next day were sold out, especially the latest late-night show.
Many people want to see how scary a movie is that can scare the audience like this!
