The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 276: Thunderstorm

Hope wanted to close her eyes. Three minutes after the beginning of the movie, she wanted to close her eyes. The claustrophobic fear and desperate panic firmly grasped the heart, making people stunned.

Especially the ubiquitous darkness of the entire projection hall, surrounded her like a tide, leaving only the gleaming cold light of the big screen shining, magnifying the immersive reality to the extreme, pulse beating. The rhythm is highly consistent with Paul in the movie screen, and the feeling of suffocation swept through.

However, Hope doesn't want to close his eyes, even blinking is a luxury. Every picture reveals a strong sense of reality and shock, firmly grasping her emotions, not even a second. Relax.

In a daze, she even forgot that the man on the screen was Lan Li, that was an ordinary person trapped in a desperate situation but struggling to survive. It could be Paul Conroy or everyone present. , The strong sense of survival penetrated the barrier of the screen and injected into her blood, empathizing.

The whole viewing process was too cruel, too exciting, too tight, and even more thrilling than a roller coaster.

After seeing Paul's video recording of his will, he quietly looked at the flames on his chest, his expression was serene and peaceful, as if lying on a pile of soft pillows with hot milk in his hands and a large pile next to him. Pile of snacks, the laughter of the children and the nagging of the wife surrounded the ears, bathed in the lazy afternoon sun, enjoying this moment of leisure, but also a moment of luxury.

Hope finally couldn't help it anymore, covering his mouth, looking at the big screen dimly with tears, bewildered.

They can always read relevant news on TV or in the newspapers, "There was an armed conflict in Iraq, and three soldiers were killed and 17 soldiers were injured in the shooting confrontation." Or "A civilian was encountered in Afghanistan." During the kidnapping, the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 10 million dollars, but the White House said it refused to compromise with terrorists"...

Every time they see these news, they will feel sad and sigh with emotion, even anger, and seek justice for the victims; but more often, they just sigh and sigh, because of that. Too far away from themselves, because it was just a stranger, because they couldn't imagine how cruel the situation on the ground was.

But now, through the big screen, they can clearly see the process of "death" and the process of "kidnapping", and witnessing a person step by step towards the end of life, which is even more terrifying than electrocution, as if their hands It was also stained with blood, as if they were in it.

The shock from the depths of the soul burst to the extreme in Paul Conroy's calm and happy smile, and easily destroyed the psychological defense of every audience.

Will he be saved? He should be saved, right? Can he be saved? This is a movie, isn't it? A Hollywood investment movie? In Hollywood works, the main theme always runs through, and the ending is always happy and happy. The White House, which sings heroism, can always turn the tide at the last moment and reshape the tall image of the American emperor, right?

Like never before, Hope expects a clichéd, offensive, and cookie-cutter ending. This belief is now the only motivation that supports her to continue watching, otherwise, this is too cruel, she really can't keep opening her eyes.

But Hope was disappointed.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

The last ray of light from the flashlight was also cut off, and the tragic and magnificent melody was also cut off, everything fell into calm like this, and the entire projection hall was completely evacuated into the darkness, and the darkness of five fingers can not be seen. The movie is over like this.

Hope was stunned, his eyes widened inconceivably, and he stared at the big screen dumbly. He even forgot the movement of breathing. The tears of joy still lingered on the eyelashes and did not fall, but the whole person But he was stiff in his seat, like a porcelain doll whose soul has been lost, indifferent.

There was no sound in the ear, as if the entire movie theater had become an empty city, and there was no trace of soul left. This silence was like the ice and snow of the Arctic Circle. The cold permeated the skin little by little, eating away the body's temperature and letting the blood flow. And the heartbeat gradually slowed down, as if the vitality was slowly disappearing, this slow and deep feeling of drowning was even more terrifying than despair.

The movie is over.

But no one got up and left in the theater. Everyone sat quietly and watched the subtitles slowly scrolling upwards. Even their eyes couldn't move away. The brain stared completely and couldn't move. .

Edith sighed deep in her heart, and complained, "This guy is really...what kind of movie he is in. It is so exciting and there is no room for breathing. I want to pretend to be a little bird and get into the next one. In the man’s arms, there is no time. It’s really disappointing. He might as well act in a little chick movie, sell handsome, sell cute, isn’t it great? Occasionally take off his shirt and sell his abs. Really. Why do you have to suffer so much?"

Edith raised her right hand and quietly wiped away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes. Her trembling fingertips revealed her true emotions, but soon she curled up her fingertips, and all emotions were concealed. He breathed out a breath, but his chest was still faintly stuffy, which made Edith's eyes momentarily absent. It seemed that she was caught in the emotions of the movie, and she seemed to be caught in her own emotions.

Under the cover of darkness, no one can find it.

The lights in the auditorium slowly lit up, and the emotions in Edith's eyes were fleeting, and she regained her usual rebelliousness and arrogance. Even the delicate makeup was not damaged, as if the movie just now had no effect at all. general.

Hope turned his head blankly and looked around, but his vision was out of focus and focus at all. There was only a dim void. Finally he looked at the little friend sitting next to him, "Bill, the movie is not over yet, is he? Saved, right? There are easter eggs in the back, right?"

William sat down in a chair, the shock of the ebb and flow could not be stopped. Now he was in a stage where he could not think and breathe hard, as if he could feel the magnificent dying and emptiness in the depths of his soul. He never knew it. , The original performance can be so simple but so shocking, the original movie can be so simple but so deep, the original reality can be so cruel and so desperate at the same time...

Hearing the sound, William turned his head and looked at Hope, but the vague focus still couldn't find the target. He just floated empty and uncomfortably sad.

"Hope..." Graham opened his mouth and called out.

He wants to say that the movie is over and life is over. This is reality. Behind those dreams of heroism is the death of more innocent lives. Just like those terrorist attacks, unless the family and friends you know are among them, some of them are just a bunch of numbers on the news, and there is no real feeling.

However, his voice was stuck in his throat, Graham was choked by his saliva, and the hot tears fell off guard, and a sorrow came out spontaneously.

A thriller movie, a one-man movie with a small cost and a small format, and a movie with a simple story and a simple connotation, but it firmly grasps the heartstrings of every audience, ups and downs, and makes people want to stop. The whole viewing process may be a torture or an enjoyment. The hearty but abruptly ending mixed taste is abhorrent and can't stop.

I saw that the warning light at the exit was on, and a staff member walked in and seemed to remind everyone that it was time to leave. One after another, some people started to stand up, and the quiet auditorium finally recovered a little noisy. Angry.

"Hey, everyone is still there." The caller shouted, the plain words in the quiet projection hall were like thunder on the ground, and they attracted everyone's attention in an instant.

Hope raised his head, and then he saw the figure walking in the middle of the projection hall in a leisurely courtyard. The eyes burst out like a pool of stagnant water, gradually and slowly dispelling all the haze, and the whole person was brightened. It's Lan Li.

"Master!" Hope finally couldn't bear it, and shouted in a loud voice.

Lan Li couldn't help but was stunned. At that moment, he had the illusion of returning to London, but he quickly reacted and nodded towards Hope with a smile, "I just realized that you are here to watch midnight. This is undoubtedly the best affirmation for the movie. Not to mention whether you like this movie..."

Before Lan Li's words were finished, William shouted with all his strength, "Like!" Then others shouted, "I like it", "I love it", "I am crazy about it", "It's really exciting", "What's the ending?"...The sound of one after another filled the theater, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is very lively.

The smile at the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, "I decided to believe this is true. Although you always say something against your intentions because of the actors on the scene." This ridicule made everyone laugh, "Now In the evening, the director and other members of the crew did not come, so on behalf of the crew, I made a special trip to thank you for your support, thank you."

This is a spontaneous move by Lan Li. He clearly knows what the midnight scene represents. No matter what mentality these audiences come with, they are solid after watching the movie. This is good for independent films. news.

"'Buried alive' is an independent film with a small cost. We don't have much money to promote it, so today I specially brought the entire crew of'Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5'over to help with the promotion; Here you are." Lan Li's half-truths were full of ridicule and jokes, and the laughter in the audience couldn't stop at all.

"There is still a short period of time before the party. I can stay here for a while. Is there anyone who wants to ask questions?" Lan Li asked tentatively, but did not expect that the whole audience raised large arms. It was so densely dense that Lan Li raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Wow, I hope I won't be late for the party."
