Zheng Li soon met the netizen who wanted to challenge him offline.
Surprisingly, everyone was very kind and polite.
Although everyone wants to greet the other person's whole family when they are arguing with each other online, when they meet offline, everyone becomes gentle and just smiles at each other.
After getting the tickets, several people entered the cinema.
Zheng Li sat on the chair and waited until the screening room became dark. Someone was still howling to create an atmosphere.
After the commercial, the movie officially begins.
"Horror movies nowadays are actually just giving people psychological hints, using those scary things to create fear. In fact, people like me who have seen many corpses are not afraid at all. These things couldn't do anything to me when they were alive, so how can they do anything to me after they die?"
Zheng Li said something to the people around him and then focused on the movie.
One o'clock in the morning.
The movie is over.
When the ending song was played, no one in the audience left early.
The ending song played quietly, and even the sweeping lady didn't come to clean.
Zheng Li felt as if he was in darkness, with pitch black all around him.
He is a forensic doctor and has a lot of dealings with hospitals, which is why the movie is more immersive.
Those corridors, those beds, and those equipment are what Zheng Li comes into contact with on a daily basis.
He used to be able to joke around with a scalpel and eat takeout in front of a corpse.
But now, Zheng Li suddenly developed an invisible fear of hospitals.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Zheng Li felt as if he was in the corridor of the hospital. The smell of disinfectant was pungent, the tiles on the floor were cold, and the bottomless fear wrapped around his body like a vine, dragging him into the cold abyss.
It’s not that he didn’t want to leave here as soon as possible, but he couldn’t stand up anymore.
My legs are numb.
Zheng Li had tried his best not to shout out in front of the netizens. His expression was stiff and he turned his head away.
"Can we...?"
He saw that the netizens around him had already huddled together and were shivering in their chairs.
Still crying?
A 1.80-meter-tall man huddled in a chair with red eyes and sniffing his nose, looking quite embarrassed.
After a long time, several people stood up.
They didn't mention a word about their impressions of the movie. On the one hand, it was because the movie completely exceeded their imagination and there was almost nothing to complain about. On the other hand, and more importantly, once the relevant plot was mentioned, those frightening scenes would come to their minds and trigger PTSD.
When I walked out of the cinema, the mall was deserted. Due to concerns about the previous situation, the midnight shows were all on the lower floors. The exits were directly connected to the stairs, which were brightly lit and there were cinema staff waiting to greet people at the stairs.
The night wind was very cold, and there were some taxis parked in front of the mall, soliciting passengers. Zheng Li didn't feel a little refreshed until the cold autumn wind blew into his collar.
"This movie is poisonous."
He said something.
The people around him silently agreed.
"We're going to stay up all night at the internet cafe. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Do you want to join us?"
They invited Zheng Li again.
Zheng Li thought to himself that now whenever his mind was a little free, all he could think of were those images, and he really couldn't fall asleep.
"Walk!"
He waved his hand as he looked at the netizens who had been arguing with him online yesterday but now seemed like fellow patients.
…
No one expected that "The Wailing" would have a box office of less than one million on the first day, but on the second day it would directly exceed ten million.
From the perspective of box office alone, this is already the well-deserved first place in this Yannan College Student Film Festival.
Moreover, as word of mouth spread, more and more people went to the cinema to watch this horror film, which is said to be the most terrifying in the past decade.
Even the old news about Nan Hua Private Renji Hospital was dug up.
Although Lu Ban processed the people who appeared in the movie and basically could not recognize their original appearance and names, some people still linked them to people who were once associated with Nanhua Private Renji Hospital.
With this connection, everyone discovered that the background of this movie was so real!
During the demolition process of Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, an unknown accident occurred, and the demolition of the hospital in the movie also encountered an unknown accident. There are some strange rumors about Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, and there are also strange rumors about the hospital in the movie.
This movie, shot in a pseudo-documentary style, seems like a real documentary!
For a time, Nanhua Private Renji Hospital became a hot topic on various social media, forums, and Weibo. It was like some kind of public carnival, with people discussing the weird things, and even topics related to the supernatural became hot.
For example, on popular online novel websites, novels that follow the trend and take advantage of the popularity have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, such as "Supernatural: Starting from Nanhua Hospital", "Forbidden Land Adventure: Blowing Up Nanhua Hospital at the Beginning", and "Weird: The Secret of Nanhua Hospital Exposed by Me".
There were also some random people who popped up, saying that they used to be hospital staff, patients, etc., and then started telling those weird stories that could not be confirmed. For a time, Nanhua Private Renji Hospital seemed to have become an evil place where hundreds of ghosts lurked.
Fortunately, this hospital has been demolished and the construction site has been fenced off. Despite this, many internet celebrities still go to the outside of the construction site and take pictures with the brick wall.
Of course, there are still more rational people. At the end of "The Wailing", an indescribable monster appeared, and that monster was the culprit. This is very fantastic. Any normal person can see that this is a fabricated story. After all, how could there really be monsters in this world?
Therefore, those things like the walking corpses, the doctors who were stitched together, and all those ghosts and gods are all fake.
This hospital may just be built in a rather gloomy way, and it had accidents due to management problems, so it was used as material. There were many such private hospitals before the rectification.
Lu Ban was happy to see it happen. The more heated the discussion and the greater the attention, the higher the revenue of his film would be. It would be easy to reach a box office of 10 million. Moreover, when the popularity reached a certain level, it would also be easy to win an award.
Several movies released at the same time have the highest box office, the highest popularity, and the best reputation, but if they don’t win any awards at the film festival, the audience will question whether there is something fishy about the film festival’s selection.
This can be considered as manipulating public opinion to a certain extent.
On the second day after arriving in Yannan, which was also the third day of the opening of the Yannan Film Festival, Lu Ban had received many interview requests from reporters, but he did not agree to be interviewed for the time being. Pursuing fame and fortune was not Lu Ban's style.
If I really want to be interviewed, it should be on the last day of the film festival, after I win the award.
After checking in at the hotel, Lu Ban came to the street of Yannan, checked the messages on his phone and confirmed the address.
He was going to have dinner with Feng Yu.
