Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 22 Someone agrees (seeking recommended collection)

The main venue of the Cinema Palace is located in the south of Lido Island, with a very good location and convenient transportation.

Early in the morning, Lyman, Ryan, Thomas, the three went to the rental company and got a set of projection equipment.

Then rushed to the screening location.

Lyman was sitting in the taxi and looking out the window, he could see pedestrians walking slowly on the street.

Casual, relaxed, and orderly, this is his impression of this town.

The taxi was still driving smoothly, and soon arrived at the destination.

The three got out of the car, took the equipment in the trunk of the car, and started walking.

They want to pick a suitable location to show.

Looking around, in fact, many people have already started in the open spaces on both sides of the movie palace.

They pulled up a curtain and were playing their open-air movies.

Lehman and the three continued to walk, and saw a black man in his thirties walking around on the side of the road, talking non-stop.

When I got closer, I realized that he was promoting his movie.

"Hi, buddy, do you want to come and enjoy my work? It's really good."

There were indeed passers-by who stopped and watched at his encouragement, but they basically walked away after watching for a while. The blacks were not angry, and continued to solicit customers in his fairly standard English.

"Let's take a look." Ryan looked excited.

I don't know if it was exaggerated by the environment or the courage of the black man.

As he said so, his steps had already passed.

Seeing that Lehman and others were willing to watch his movie, the black man was so happy that he danced and said, "This is my movie! I made it!"

Ryan listened quietly and suddenly said, "Can your movie sell for money?"

When the black man heard it, although a little confused, he still smiled and said, "Hey! Man, I made this movie in two years. In order to get here from Dre Dawa, I struggled and endured all the hardships. But these are not important. The important thing is that I screened my film at the Venice Film Festival and many people watch it! God! This is my long-time wish, and it has come true. As for making money? I never thought about it. "

Lyman listened and was silent.

How can I continue my beloved career if the movie can't generate benefits?

Rely on love to generate electricity?Stop teasing.

Anyway, he couldn't understand the thinking of such a movie fanatic.

"Oh, brother! Then you have a big loss, come here from your hometown, and spent a lot of money." Ryan obviously did not agree with the black point of view, he continued: "You must be quite rich."

To be so extravagantly wasteful, Lehman added silently in his heart.

"It doesn't matter..." The black man was about to explain his creative experience, Lehman cast a look, and the three of them slipped away.

This black film didn't even have a complete story. It had a scene in the east and a scene in the west, just like watching a personal landscape.It's really boring.

Continue to walk forward and come to behind the gate of the movie palace venue.

There is an intersection here, one leading to the venue, and one leading to the exit.

The flow of people is so woven, it is very suitable for showing movies.

"Just here."

After the decision was made, the three of them began to adjust the projection equipment.

After operating as the business said, pull up a screen to put the image.

Then, take out the film copy from the backpack, put it in the machine, and everything is complete.

"Try it."

Ryan quickly pressed the switch and started playing their movie Buried Alive.

This is the nth time the trio has watched this long filmed movie, but it is the first time to enjoy it in the public.

Just seeing Heath Ledger's panic expression caused Lehman to be in a daze, subconsciously watching around, and then laughing wryly.

Except for him, Ryan, and Thomas, there is no audience.

The movie is still playing, and Ryan apparently also discovered the problem.

After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go to the intersection to pull people over, too. That trick looks pretty good."

"I'll go too." Thomas volunteered.

"Well, let's go together, Lehman, you are here watching the equipment and film copies."

Seeing him nodding, Ryan took Thomas to the intersection just now.

It’s not far from the screening point, probably less than 15 meters.

Lehman watched the two of them open their mouths, and commanded intentional passersby with his hands.

In a short while, an uncle left the road and walked towards Lehman along the lawn.

It only took less than three minutes, and one audience member was willing to give it a try.This method is really effective.

Uncle passersby stopped to watch, and at this time Paul was already beating on the coffin for help on the screen.

In the movie, the character played by Heath Ledger is lying in the coffin and struggling. The camera goes around a large circle from left to right, allowing the audience to know the environment inside the coffin more directly and clearly.

Small, dark, and then a few flash close-ups focused on Heath Ledger, the wound on his forehead is still vivid.

The uncle subconsciously wrapped his arms around his chest to relieve his anxiety.

He thought to himself how to escape if he was trapped in the coffin.

After a while, some little girls came.

Seeing how they are twittering, they are probably together.At least they are chatting.

"Is that tall guy so handsome just now?"

"Oh, do you think so too? I thought it was only me..."

"Did you say he made this movie?"

Okay, this is attracted by Ryan's beauty.

Lyman couldn't help looking at him, and saw Ryan's mouth closed and his face still had a sincere smile. He looked like a prostitute, a duck, who was in that industry. He thought faintly. .

......

Andrés couldn't help getting irritable. From the very beginning of his coming, the movie entered a very fast-paced story scene, but there were always irrelevant noises in his ears, and he could hardly hear the movie. The voice of it.If these people continue to be so noisy, then they will definitely miss some important plot.The emotions of tension, worry, and expectation were mixed together, and the fists were clenched and loosened. In the end, he couldn't hold it back. The uncle shouted fiercely:

"Don't make a noise!" He turned his head and said to the girls next to him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it a little, and his tone seemed a bit strong.

The uncle turned his head silently to continue watching the movie, thinking that nothing had happened.

The girls were taken aback, but their own qualities made them understand that it was their fault. They stopped chatting and making noises, and did not choose to leave. They just stood and watched the movie together.

The uncle is even more uncomfortable, and he will slander in his heart with this small voice instead of yelling impulsively.

But the sound of this movie really needs to be listened carefully to be able to hear clearly-this venue is next to the road junction, there are many pedestrians, and the sound of the projector speakers is serious, and it is necessary to pay attention to understand the movie. In the scenes of the scene, the lines of the protagonist calling are mainly the point that promotes the original appearance of the background. Can you not hear it clearly?

At this time, the murmur that was close to the ear gauge was simply a torture. No wonder the uncle yelled at a group of girls.

On the screen, the man trapped in the coffin began to call 911 and began asking for help.

The call was connected, and a female operator's voice came.

"Hello, I am buried alive." The man stumblingly said as he took a deep breath, "Please, save me, I may be dying."

"Sir?" The operator seemed confused.

"I'm trapped in the coffin, come and rescue me, send someone to rescue me!" The man held the phone tightly in his right hand, while holding the lighter in his left hand, his eyes wandering at the faint flame.

"Sir, you have to calm down. Tell me first, what is your name?"

"Paul Conroy."

"Okay, Mr. Conroy, can you tell me where you are now?"

The man closed his eyes in pain, "I don't know." His voice was hoarse and terrible, "I am trapped in a coffin, I don't know where I am. Please, help me, I don't want to die."

"Are you in the coffin?"

"Yes, yes!" Paul felt that he was almost out of breath, as if an invisible hand was pinching his throat, and the suffocation made his face red, "an old-fashioned wooden coffin."

"Are you in the funeral home?"

"No!" Paul quickly denied, "I don't know, I'm trapped underground, come and save me."

"Can you remember why you were trapped in the coffin?" the operator still asked unhurriedly.

"When I was driving in Afghanistan, the road suddenly exploded. Then...then, I woke up and I was in a coffin." His eyes were also blank.

"Then why were you attacked?"

"How come you have so many questions! I'm dying, come and save me...Don't ask, please, find someone to save me." The operator wasted his time endlessly, this The man became more and more furious, "I'm somewhere in Afghanistan, find someone to save me!"

"Are you a soldier?" the operator asked calmly again.It didn't seem to be affected by the man's anger.

The man suddenly sneered and laughed, a kind of inexplicable sadness lingered in his heart, becoming a huge irony, "I am not a soldier, I'm just a... businessman." He breathed heavily, even A coherent sentence cannot be said completely.He knew that there was less and less oxygen.

The operator said helplessly: "You said you were buried alive in some underground in Afghanistan, but how did we find you in a short time?"

Is she asking me for a solution?The man thought blankly.

"Isn't there a U.S. garrison there? Tell them to come and look for it. I'm really dying, please, save me...Save me!"

The operator’s words interrupted the man’s endless cry for help, “Mr. Conroy, this is the police station in Michigan. We cannot notify the soldiers stationed abroad.”

"Then... forget it!" The man hung up.
