Under the darkness of the screen playing various trailers, the theater, which was less than one-third of the seats, became silent.

With the prevalence of the film industry, there will be a few steps of small-budget R-rated movies released every month, and a group of new characters and simple scripts will be released every month.

"Horror Cabin" is one of them. Lionsgate's logo flashed away, and the film kicked off.

The opening shot looks out over a grove of trees, a waterhole, and the cabin. In the soothing pure music, the lower right corner of the credits of the production list keeps appearing.

After the long head turn, accompanied by a wake-up shout, the picture shows the scene of the players in the cabin shaping, and the film officially begins.

The cutscene is only a few minutes, and players can only get a glimpse in a hurry. Today's one-and-a-half-hour full version allows them to see everything clearly, even though it's an edited version rather than a full version.

The director's shooting technique is very immature, but the script is very mature. He seemed to know where to foreshadow, where to be scary, where to be de-escalated.

If there is a horror formula for horror movies, then the director of this film must shoot according to this formula. It's not fresh, but it's decent.

Lionsgate Studios, who is located in a corner, said in his heart, judging from the screams in the theater, it is not a problem to recover the cost within two weeks.

That's why Lionsgate fell in love with the film and paid $50,000 for it — even though it didn't cost more than $20,000.

The reporter turned his head slightly, looking at the six figures in the back row. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet the leading actor of this film, but ......

He chuckled and turned his head. It's just a group of unfamous young actors, and there is no need to say hello.

And at this time, in the player group, seeing "yourself" appear in the movie, screaming and being brutally tortured and killed, that feeling is a bit complicated.

An hour and a half passed quickly, until the protagonist team was all wiped out, the movie ended, and the theater lights slowly lit up.

Players each stretch their backs and get ready to go home.

Coming out of the theater, they saw a staff member outside the gate who was pulling the audience after the end of the show to conduct market research and ask them to rate and evaluate "Horror Cabin".

Very few A points are given, most of them are given to B or C, the latter accounting for the majority.

As the players passed by, they heard a spectator complaining to the staff.

"It looks good...... But the name of the main actor is too weird, I say...... Ye Sansoul, who has a name that only has a Chinese name, is a white man, even if it is not, what is the rabbit called the rabbit who eats sugar cane...... It's a show. Do you understand the feeling of being scared to death and wanting to laugh at the same time? ”

His companion nodded in agreement: "Seconding, do you know how uncomfortable it was for me to hold back my laughter when I heard the Chainsaw Killer whisper in a hoarse voice: 'Sugarcane-eating rabbit, you're going to die soon'?" ”

Hmmm-

Five eyes converge on the rabbit eating sugar cane.

The rabbit craned its neck and ducked behind Martin.

Out of the theater, the group stood at the foot of the steps and suddenly noticed that something was missing.

"What about the Musu?"

Smelling the fragrance looked left and right, and the others also turned their heads to look for it.

"I think it's supposed to be A."

A familiar voice sounded behind them, and the players turned around and saw Mu Su standing in front of the staff, commenting, and talking eloquently: "The film is just right. There is also a sense of beautiful art in the horror. In particular, the actor named Mu Su made a deep impression on me, I think this guy definitely has the strength to win the Oscar for Best Actor, and I am looking forward to that moment. ”

The staff opened their mouths wide and did not react.

Wenxiang felt very embarrassed, covered his face and ran over, pulling Mu Su's arm and dragging him away.

"I'm not done yet...... Pull me to do something-"

The five of them and Mu Su, who kicked his legs, quickly walked away......

On the way back, players were in a good mood to talk about various topics, such as whether there would be fans and reporters when they became famous, and what would happen if they went to the director? Or discuss how to make things happen in the movie.

Although it is a competitive relationship, the atmosphere between players is quite friendly.

"What about the Musu?"

Familiar lines, familiar scenes.

Smelling the fragrance looked left and right, and the others also turned their heads to look for it.

They had returned to the apartment where the rabbit lived, but Makisu was gone.

After looking for some fruitlessness, Wen Xiang suddenly deflated and said, "He may have to do it alone again." ”

As one of the first three people to know Mu Su, although Wenxiang does not have a high sense of existence, he can be regarded as knowing this guy. Based on past experience...... I'm afraid I'll sneak out again and play by myself.

Some people suffer from gains and losses, while others breathe a sigh of relief. It may be psychological, they can always feel the evil aura on Mu Su's body.

Back in the apartment, a few other people ran to watch TV, and Smell, who could operate a 21st-century computer, entered the bedroom and quietly tried to search for movies on a search engine.

actually let her search for some receipts, such as the famous rating website, Rotten Tomatoes has included "Horror Cabin".

At present, there are only 27 people who have rated it, with a freshness rate of 53%, and the reviews and ratings of professional film critics are not shown.

It may be that it is not watchable, or it may be that it has not had time to speak at length just after the premiere.

Wenxiang tried to click on her name in the actor column, but there was only one movie on her personal page, "Horror Cabin".

After all, it's just a debut.

Slightly discouraged, he returned to the living room, where the four players were happily watching the TV, and Brad Dimon was shouting for takeout.

"Let's go hungry until the next film starts." The rabbit sighed helplessly and showed the wallet to everyone. "I don't have any money......"

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

……

What if you are famous but have no money? Monetizing your fame is a good way to do it.

At the same time, a few hundred meters from the apartment inside a bar.

"But you're just the protagonist of a small-budget movie, and you're one of six protagonists."

"So I only borrowed $2,000." Mu Su said.

In the bustling bar, Mu Su was talking to a bank clerk he was looking for.

"In fact, my new movie is ready to be released. It won't be long before you see my latest movie released. ”

The man in the suit on the opposite side squinted: "What movie is it?" ”

Mu Su shook his head, his voice barely audible in the noise: "Confidentiality regulations, I can't tell you yet." ”

The man on his back hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "I can only lend you $1,000, one percent of the daily interest." ”

"Yes." Mu Su agreed very decisively.

"Here's my number, go to the Bank of Atlanta tomorrow morning with something that proves your identity and look for me."

Mu Su accepted the business card he handed over, and said with a slight smile: "Do you need to sign it, it's free if you want to sign now." ”

"Excuse me."
