Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 70 Waves of applause
"Shh! This is too scary."

"How can a movie like this be made? Why does it look so ordinary yet so scary?"

In another movie theater in Los Angeles, Ben Affleck crossed his arms and dared not stare at the big screen.

"This is the classic plot setting in the movie, there is a monster in the house, first tell the audience that there is a scary monster in the house, so that the audience will have a strong sense of unease.

As the hero and heroine described the story, everyone kept imagining the monster's shape and terrifying aspects. Before the monster appeared, everyone was already trembling with fear from the monster in their minds.

In addition, the door was too scary. Sleeping with the door open at night and it was still pitch black outside was like pointing a gun at the audience's head, which made the feeling of uneasiness even stronger.

When everyone becomes a trembling quail, they will be frightened and scream at the slightest strange sound or shadow.

Link is amazing, he is definitely a master at stirring up the audience’s emotions.”

Matt Damon said.

"what!!"

On the 19th day, when the heroine was standing in the aisle and her hair was suddenly blown up, a burst of screams broke out in the cinema.

Some people were so scared that they covered their eyes, some were so scared that they hugged their heads, and some were so scared that they left their seats, squatted on the ground, and used the seats in front of them to block their eyes.

"Damn, that's scary, my hair stands on end."

Ben Affleck said, holding his hair with both hands.

"what!"

"There's a ghost!!"

"There's a ghost in the movie theater."

Suddenly, a black youth jumped up in front of me and ran outside in fear, shouting "there is a ghost" as he ran.

"James, don't run. I was the one who blew the wind. Damn, you're such a coward."

Someone later tried to persuade the black youth to come back, but the black man had already run out of the cinema.

"boring!"

Matt Damon continues to watch movies.

As he was watching, he suddenly felt a wind behind him and it was very cold. He turned his head and saw Ben Affleck retracting his hand with an expressionless face.

The plot came to the evening of the 20th day, when a faint shadow floated past the white door. Many people in the cinema covered their mouths, too scared to make a sound.

The bed sheet was blown up, revealing the heroine's feet.

Suddenly, something grabbed the heroine's ankle, dragged her off the bed to the ground, and out of the bedroom.

There was a scream outside the bedroom. The male protagonist got up and ran out. The door was slammed shut by something.

The male protagonist opened the door and ran into the dark corridor, hearing bursts of screams outside.

After a few seconds, the corridor returned to calm, and it was unknown whether the hero or heroine was alive or dead.

The cinema became silent, not even the sound of breathing. Everyone stared outside the dark door with eyes wide open, watching the development of the plot in fear and trepidation.

Three or four seconds later, the hero carried the heroine back to the bedroom.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so scary. Sophia, sometimes I fall off the bed when I sleep. Do you think it's a ghost?"

Milla Jovovich asked nervously while holding Sofia's arm in the cinema.

"Don't scare yourself, there are no ghosts in the world."

"How do you know? Maybe there are ghosts, but we, like Katie, can't see where they are."

"You can also buy a video camera and put it on the table before going to bed to see if there are any ghosts."

"It sounds good, but forget it. If there really is a ghost, it would be too scary. It's better to pretend that I know nothing. Hiss, is the ghost coming again?"

On the night of the 21st, the lights in the bedroom were turned off and the light in the room became eerie.

The camera was still filming the bedroom and the open door, with only the timer on the screen showing the passage of time.

At around 1 a.m., a "kong kong kong" sound was heard. The heroine, Katie, climbed out of the bed stiffly, walked to the hero, and stood there staring at him quietly.

"Katie is sleepwalking again."

Jim Carrey asked in a low voice.

"Shh, don't talk."

"Wife, will you look at me like this at night?"

"Do not talk!"

The cinema was silent. Although the picture on the screen did not change much, everyone felt a chill unconsciously as they saw Katie standing motionless beside the bed.

Especially for those viewers who have sleepwalkers around them, they can't help but shiver all over when they think about being stared at coldly while they sleep at night.

The time on the camera began to fast forward, and soon it changed from a little after one in the morning to a little after two in the morning.

The heroine Katie moved and walked out the door.

Soon Katie's screams were heard from downstairs.

The male protagonist climbed out of bed and ran outside. A few seconds later, sounds of fierce fighting and screams were heard downstairs.

After three or four seconds, the sound from the speakers suddenly quieted down.

The big screen became still, with only a timer counting down second by second.

At this time, the theater became unusually quiet. The audience looked at the screen nervously, not even daring to breathe.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a sound of dragging footsteps outside, which became clearer and clearer as it got closer.

"what?"

Ben Affleck covered his eyes with his hands, leaving only a small gap to look at the dark door.

Boom! Boom!
The footsteps became clearer, as if they were coming to the door.

The atmosphere also became more tense and depressing.

At this time, all the audience looked carefully at the dark door.

call!
Suddenly, something was thrown in from outside the door and hit the camera lens with a bang. It was as if something was thrown from the dark door onto the screen and hit the audience in the cinema.

"what!!!"

Many people screamed, some jumped up and stood on their seats, and some blocked their front with their hands. "Fuck! What is that!"

Bang! The camera in the bedroom fell down, and through the crooked lens, Katie stood at the door with her long black hair loose and blood all over her body, like a zombie.

The thing that was thrown and fell on the ground was the male protagonist, who was lying on the ground motionless.

Although this shot was not as thrilling as the male protagonist being thrown and hitting the camera, Katie standing at the door with blood all over her body still made many viewers shudder.

Katie walked stiffly to the protagonist's body, lay down and bit his neck.

"what!!"

Ben Affleck suddenly shouted.

It scared the people around.

Ben Affleck touched the back of his neck and it felt like something was pinching him and it hurt.

He turned to look at Matt Damon.

Matt Damon withdrew his hand and looked at the screen expressionlessly.

The heroine Katie suddenly raised her head and stared at the camera with a bloody face.

This scene gave many viewers the chills.

Katie stared at the camera lens, walked slowly over, and suddenly pounced towards the camera.

"what!!"

Many people in the audience couldn't help but scream in fear.

Milla Jovovich was so scared that she hugged Sofia, and Sofia was so scared that she turned her head away and dared not look at the screen.

Jim Carrey trembled in the arms of his wife Melissa Wormer, but glanced at the screen with one eye slanted.

The timid Jennifer Connelly was so frightened by the night of the 20th day that she covered her ears, closed her eyes, and dared not look at anything.

"It's so scary. I didn't feel anything when I was acting, so why is it so scary to watch it in the cinema?"

In the audience, Monica Bellucci was trembling in Link's arms.

"You acted so well."

Link patted her back gently.

“No, you took such a good picture.”

Monica kissed him.

The big screen went dark and the lights in the theater became as bright as day.

The audience slowly came back to their senses. Some were wiping the sweat from their foreheads, while others were shivering with their arms hugged.

clap clap clap!
Someone in the corner applauded.

clap clap clap!
Many people in the audience applauded spontaneously.

clap clap clap!clap clap clap!
All the audience in the theater stood up and applauded, and the applause surged like a tide.

"Link, congratulations, this movie is great, it almost scared me to death."

Sofia Coppola clapped and leaned over to say.

"Thank you! Glad to see you're okay."

"Link, your movie is so scary that Melissa almost got scared."

Jim Carrey came with his wife Melissa to congratulate.

"What about you? Are you scared?"

"Me? Haha, how could a grown man like me be scared? Stop joking."

Jim Carrey grinned.

"Link, congratulations, this movie is incredible. Last time you said you wanted to shoot a movie with a handheld camera, I couldn't believe it, but now you have done it, and it's amazing."

Billy Crystal said, clapping his hands.

"Thank you!"

"Director Link, this movie is a surprise, not only to me, but also to the film industry. Before your movie came out, no one could believe that shooting a movie in this way would be so wonderful, but you did it, Director Link. You are indeed a very creative director."

Justin Kroll, editor-in-chief of Variety magazine, applauded and laughed.

"Thank you! It's my pleasure."

Link said modestly.

"Congratulations, Director Link, you made a great movie."

"Director Link, you have pioneered a new way of directing and pointed out a path for all those who want to become directors. This is amazing."

"Director Link, I wish your new movie a big box office success."

Aaron Couch, deputy editor of The Hollywood Reporter, Ross Stanton, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times entertainment section, Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of the Herald Tribune, famous journalist Thomas Miller, film critic Rudin Batchelor and others gathered around to congratulate Link.

clap clap clap!
Three minutes later, the audience was still clapping, with many cheering loudly for Link for the film.

"How was the movie, Jenny?"

Sam Haskell clapped his hands and looked at Jennifer Connelly beside him.

Jennifer Connelly was looking at Link in the crowd. When she heard Sam Haskell's question, she came back to her senses and blinked her light blue eyes.

"good."

"You just said that Link can only make movies worth tens of thousands of dollars. So if I give you $2, or give $2 to a director you approve of, do you think you or those directors can make a movie of this quality?"

".Okay, I admit that Link is amazing and a director with great potential. I will be more enthusiastic towards him next time I see him."

Jennifer Connelly said.

"Why not go and congratulate him now?"

"I didn't pay much attention to him before. Now that the movie is successful and everyone is congratulating him, would it be too snobbish of me to congratulate him as well?"

"No, learn to appreciate the strengths of others and sincerely praise their success. This is the mentality of a strong person."

Sam Haskell pushed his way through the crowd toward Link.

Jennifer Connelly sniffed her upturned nose, hesitated for a few seconds, and then stepped forward to congratulate Link.
