Bringing Culture to a Different World

Carrie could hear the discussion between the two people behind her.

The best ending that Carrie could imagine for this movie was that the father would take his wife and son away from here.

But Gloria had already guessed what was going on just by looking at the suggestive scenes and the hints of the plot.

The father had been bewitched by the ghost long ago, and his behavior had become a little crazy!

When the camera turned to the little boy lying on the bed in a daze, the music in the background became harsh and depressing again. The words “Murder”were written on the door, and the surging blood once again swept through the corridor.

At that moment, the discussion in the surroundings stopped once again.

The audience was already mentally prepared for something terrifying to jump out at any time.

Carrie vaguely heard someone holding their breath, and in fact… she held her breath as well.

But there was no more… there were no more terrifying scenes after that.

The father and his wife, who were in a bad mood, had a disagreement over the idea of leaving the manor and staying here. Then, they had a fierce argument.

I Won’t let you mess up my life again

On the screen, the father shouted at her in this way. Then, he left the room and walked through the basement, violently pushing everything on the ground.

This scene was also suitable for the appearance of all kinds of ghosts and spirits. However, the next second, the camera turned again and her father came to a decorated corridor.

Was something going to appear?

Carrie’s nerves were tense. She began to imagine the terrifying scene that would follow.

Was it a Ghost? Or a rotting corpse? Or was it a skeleton?

But there was nothing… the father on the screen came to the ballroom. There were no spirits here. Instead, there was a luxurious aristocratic ball.

The ball was filled with nobles who were dressed luxuriously and behaved in a reserved manner.

“Isn’t there a lot of people here? Herland… There shouldn’t be any need to be afraid of those ghosts, right?”

Sansa whispered to Herland next to her again.

A lot of people?

No… that’s not right. Looking at the luxurious ball on the screen, Carrie suddenly realized that there were only three people in the manor from the beginning to the end, which was that family

Where did this group of people come from? The explanation was that there was only one… They were all ghosts!

Realizing this, Carrie instantly hugged her legs and curled up.

The male lead on the screen was participating in a feast… made up of ghosts!

What happened next was as Carrie expected. The father played by Sir White Thorn Flower had completely gone mad. He had given his soul to a ghost, or some kind of monster, he picked up the AX and chased after his wife and children.

When he crazily hacked at the wooden door with the AX, every time he hacked, there would be screams in the audience. The AX seemed to become the baton of the orchestra, every time he swung it, a female singer’s high voice would be heard.

Carrie was one of those female singers. In the later part of the movie, she had already forgotten how many times she had screamed.

Carrie began to regret. She should have disobeyed her mother’s order and left this place as soon as possible!

Fuya was right… she was absolutely right. She should not have come to watch this movie.

..

For two long hours, when the actors behind the scenes appeared on the screen, no one in the entire theater applauded.

One could only vaguely hear the sobbing of someone in the audience.

Mrs. Caesar looked around at the reactions of the audience.

Normally, after the premiere of a movie, the audience should stand up and applaud. This was the most basic etiquette.

Whether it was the premiere of “The devil is not too cold”or the premiere of “The eight faithful”, most of the audience’s eyes were filled with tears, however, they all stood up and congratulated the birth of this wonderful movie.

However, this time, no one took the lead to congratulate the set of “The shining.”The surroundings were so quiet that it was terrifying. The appearance of this movie was like a curse.

Everyone who had seen the movie had been cursed by a curse called fear. Mrs. Caesar took a look at her daughter. She had never seen such a fragile Carrie.

As the flower of Faroese, she loved to play childish pranks, but Carrie still had the pride of being the flower of Faroese. She knew that she had to maintain her perfect posture at all times.

But now, Carrie did not. It was as if she had returned to the little girl who had to hide in her arms to fall asleep.

“Mr. Jose, why… Do you want to make this kind of movie?”

Mrs. Caesar held Gloria’s hand and turned to look at Jose.

“Is there anything wrong?”

Jose couldn’t think of a way to answer Mrs. Caesar. He couldn’t say, “I made it to scare people.”.

“The shining only brings fear and unease to the audience. This is not the emotion that a performance brings to the audience.”

Mrs. Caesar had been involved in stage plays for so many years. The most simple goal of all the plays she wrote was to make the audience feel happy and moved. Fear and nausea were the elements that needed to be avoided the most.

“The reason?”

Joshua had intended to spend a few minutes listening to the experience of the manager of the Black Swan Theater.

“If the emotions of the audience were treated as commodities, the audience would be more willing to spend money to buy ‘happiness’and ‘moving’. No one would be willing to spend money to buy fear,”Mrs. Caesar said.

“No one is willing to spend money to buy fear. Allow me to correct your thinking, Mrs. Caesar. The emotions brought to the audience by ‘The Shining’are not only fear, but also the stimulation after that.”

In fact, Jose did not quite understand why people would like to watch horror movies. He did not even understand why he would watch movies that scared him so much that he could not sleep at night.

However… Joshua just wanted to watch them. Occasionally, he would like to watch them with his friends.

The reason for this was that a large part of the human nature had the word ‘courting death’, or ‘curiosity’.

“Mrs. Caesar, are you afraid of snakes?”Joshua suddenly asked.

“Yes, I am, especially those species that are highly poisonous,”Mrs. Caesar chose to answer Joshua truthfully.

“I’m also very afraid, but if there really is a poisonous snake in front of me, and it’s separated by a thick enough glass, I’ll go up and watch. This is called curiosity.”

When Joshua said this, the theater was already filled with scattered applause.

The audience had already recovered from their previous fear and subconsciously clapped.

“And, Mrs. Caesar, the purpose of my filming has never been for the box office. The premiere has ended, and I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After saying goodbye to Gloria, Jose walked out of the theater with Healy.

“You seem to be smiling very happily,”Healy whispered beside Jose.

“Am I?”

Josh touched his cheek. When the premiere had just ended, Josh had been trying his best to suppress the expression on his face.

“Well, actually, I’ve done this kind of thing before.”

Hiri trotted to Josh and turned around to say to him.

“I brought my sister to an abandoned manor. I felt inexplicably happy when I saw her frightened by the ghosts inside.”

“Have you ever done such an outrageous thing to your sister?”

Joshua finally understood why herlan was so frightened.

“I helped my sister chase away the ghost at that time!”Hiri said.

While Joshua was talking with Hiri, the audience in the screening hall also came out one after another.

“Mr. Joshua, are we really going to use this poster for tomorrow’s premiere?”

Sir White Thorn Flower quickly walked up to Joshua and asked.

“Let’s change to a more realistic poster. Also, young children should be accompanied by their parents to watch this reminder.”

Joshua took a glance at the yellow-clothed man and Sophia who walked out of the screening hall. If Sophia were to attend the premiere alone today, the venue would definitely fall into panic.

Although there were some accidents during the premiere of the shining, Joshua was very satisfied with the response from the audience. The only thing left was to wait for the official release tomorrow, it was time to test the endurance of the audiences in this world.
