"Or do you think the projectionists and security guards work too hard, and you want to give them a real-life movie in return when you spend money to watch a movie in the cinema?"
The last three rows of this cinema are so-called couple seats. There are no armrests between the two seats, which makes it convenient for couples to sit together more intimately. On the big screen, a thrilling jungle chase scene had just ended, and the background music turned soft and soothing, so even though Jing Ling's voice was not loud, several restless couples around could hear it.
a bolt from the blue!
All the strange sounds disappeared in an instant, as if someone had forcibly pressed the pause button. Especially the couple sitting next to Jing Ling and the others, the outgoing girl was held on the lap of her boyfriend in a gray coat. When Tan Yunshu turned her head, the timeline of the movie was in the daytime, with blue sky and white clouds, and scorching sun. The light in the screening room was also a little better, so that she saw the other person's hand reaching into the clothes from the hem of the sweater.
After hearing Jing Ling's words, the young couple was instantly frightened like statues, motionless. It took them several seconds to recover. The man quickly withdrew his hand, and the girl sat back in her seat obediently.
But Tan Yunshu no longer cared about this at the moment. Her attention was focused on another thing. "You said that there are night cameras installed in the screening room. Is that true?" she asked in a low voice.
Jing Ling nodded, "Yeah."
"How did you know?" she asked again.
Jing Ling explained, "I noticed when I came in that there are cameras installed in several corners. I looked in that direction probably to monitor whether the screen is normal. Another reason is for the safety of public places. It's dark so it's easier to find evidence if something happens. To do this, ordinary cameras are definitely not enough. Only infrared night cameras can be used."
The principle is simple to explain, but it is indeed not easy for ordinary people to notice.
With Jing Ling's two words of reminder, Tan Yunshu didn't hear any strange sounds afterwards.
As the plot progresses, the survivors die one by one, and the truth about the isolated island gradually surfaces. In the ultimate trailer released earlier, Chen Huaimin said, "We will all die, no one can escape." It's like a prophecy, coming true bit by bit.
When he saw the male and female protagonists being led away, leaving only Chen Huaimin, who had just deduced the shocking truth, alone, Tan Yunshu asked in a low voice, "Is he going to die?"
This plot is not difficult to guess. Before this, the mysterious ninth man had killed five people. If Chen Huaimin also died, the eight survivors of the shipwreck would only be the male and female protagonists, which means the final showdown is coming.
The remaining three people, a lawyer who only cares about money, a policeman with a sense of justice, and a murderous villain, are the portrayal of black, white and gray. It is still unclear who will survive in the end, or whether they will all perish together. However, as of now, the ninth person has an absolute advantage. After all, the male and female protagonists have lost five teammates and will soon gain one more, but they have no way to deal with the ninth person.
If things continue at this pace, there is a 90% chance that the ninth person will become the final winner. However, there is an unwritten rule in domestic films, that is, good will never prevail over evil, and criminals must be brought to justice in the end. The actions of the Ninth Man are of the kind that absolutely cannot have a good outcome, otherwise it would not have passed the review at all.
"Yeah." Jing Ling responded.
The reversal soon came. The ninth person, who had originally fled quickly after his successful attack, came back for some reason and took away Chen Huaimin's body. The plot was a bit disjointed after that, as he was seen bringing the body to the stream, squatting down with a sharp dagger in his hand, and then suddenly jumping into the stream where the water was dyed red with blood.
"I think something is wrong here." Tan Yunshu said.
"Originally there was a scene of dismemberment, but it was cut out when it was submitted for review." This is what Director Gu told Jing Ling. This set of shots can be said to be his favorite. In his words, it is the perfect combination of death and art. But it had to be cut in order to release it, which was like cutting out a piece of his heart.
Tan Yunshu nodded upon hearing this. That makes sense.
The movie continued. Anyone who has seen the final trailer knows that the scene shown in the trailer is almost here, and the ferocious beast is about to reveal its true face.
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard in the dense forest. The camera changed to a bird's-eye view, and a huge black shadow was seen wandering through the forest. A small path about one meter wide appeared out of thin air wherever it passed. The low trees were broken, and the vegetation on the ground was almost crushed into mud. The whole place was in a mess. However, the trees here are so dense that they seem to block out the sun and the sky. The complete appearance of the giant beast cannot be clearly seen through the gaps between the branches and leaves, but its length must be at least ten to twenty meters.
That's a real python.
Humans are built with a gene that provokes fear of snakes, let alone a giant snake that was so hideous that it was beyond imagination. There was a close-up on the big screen, with the snake's body swimming past a big tree. Its entire body was gray-brown in color, and its scales were clearly visible. In the screening room, many people screamed in fright.
Tan Yunshu was also frightened, but at least he was able to restrain himself and not scream out.
Jing Ling patted her shoulder gently and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Hui just looks scary, but he actually has a good temper and is very smart. He lives with a tiger named Xiao Hua, who has raised him to be a bit spoiled. He likes to hitchhike on him while he's on the road."
While Jing Ling was speaking, the giant snake on the screen had already come near the ninth person. He sensed something was wrong, stood up suddenly, turned around, and asked, "Who?!"
The moment he finished speaking, a giant snake emerged from the dense branches and leaves and wrapped itself around his body before he could react. The huge body makes the person look like a doll.
Screams broke out in an instant, one after another.
Tan Yunshu's focus was diverted by Jing Ling. She looked at the ferocious and terrifying beast on the screen and said in a suspicious tone, "Xiao Hui? You have a good temper? You also raise tigers? How on earth did you come up with so many things in such a short time..."
"I'll take you to see them when I'm free, and bring some mutton with me. Xiaohua likes to eat it."
The boy in the gray coat who was frightened by Jing Ling's words could not help but complain after hearing this, "Damn idiot!" He let out a hiss as soon as he finished speaking. Tan Yunshu took a glance and saw the familiar girl's hand greeting the soft flesh on his waist.
"Sorry, he meant no harm!"
"fine."
With the unexpected death of the ninth person, the movie gradually draws to a close.
The male and female protagonists who were deliberately led away found that something was wrong and hurried back to the camp. The bloodstains on the ground that had not yet dried were exactly where Chen Huaimin had been before they left. Obviously, another survivor was killed, but this time it was different from the past, as there was no body left. After a careful search, the two finally found a clue and followed the trail all the way to the stream, but still did not find Chen Huaimin's body. There was only a lot of blood and a small amount of suspicious meat.
Afterwards, the heroine found a dagger and a wireless headset in the woods.
As if it knew someone had picked it up, a voice suddenly came from the headset, "Congratulations on your luck of surviving. A boat will be here to take you ashore soon."
Although the hero and heroine were full of doubts, they still chose to follow the instructions to leave the jungle and go to the place where the ship was docked... The scene finally froze on a luxurious cruise ship. There were about ten people sitting in a room decorated like a movie theater. There was a large screen in front of them, playing a movie, which was showing what happened on the isolated island.
"Fuck!"
"A group of crazy people actually sent people to an isolated island to play a real killing game!"
"I originally thought it was a game between the two sides, but I didn't expect that everything was controlled by a mastermind behind the scenes!"
After the movie ended, the audience got up from their seats and walked out of the theater while discussing the plot. When most people had left, Jing Ling and Tan Yunshu got up and left.
"You acted really well!" Tan Yunshu whispered, "Did you act out the scene on the tree yourself? I saw the behind-the-scenes footage released by the official blog, which showed you climbing a tree. Does it have anything to do with this?"
"Yes." Jing Ling replied, "Because that part is a bit difficult, Director Gu doesn't believe I can do it, so he asked me to try the beginner level first."
The two walked out of the cinema while talking. It was already past four o'clock. Jing Ling and Tan Yunshu were taking a walk in a nearby park. When they got tired, they sat down on a bench. The weather is nice today and many people come to the park to play. Tan Yunshu was really beautiful, and after Jing Ling's disguise, although he wasn't as good-looking as before, he was definitely not ugly. With his height of 1.8 meters, he was considered a handsome guy. A handsome man and a beautiful woman sitting together is undoubtedly a pleasing picture. Almost everyone passing by will turn their heads to take a look or two.
When the clock on the phone showed 17:30, Jing Ling and Tan Yunshu got up and left the park to go eat. Tan Yunshu had booked the restaurant yesterday. It's in a shopping mall near the park, about five minutes' walk away.
"I've been here a few times with Sisi before, their food is pretty good..." After walking through the mall door and entering, Tan Yunshu introduced the food to Jing Ling as he walked. As she was speaking, she saw something falling from the front out of the corner of her eye. Then she felt the person next to her suddenly let go of her hand and rushed forward.
