    Under the night sky, the battle for exorcism begins. Cinemas in major cities in North America welcome midnight audiences. Cinema managers are happy and nervous. Experience tells them that this is the crowd scene during peak weeks!  A busy week is coming.

    Most of the audiences have clear expectations on their faces. They are not just random viewers who come to watch a random movie. They come here for a specific movie!

    An exorcism film.

    Yes, midnight is the best time to watch horror movies. Most of the audience comes for an exorcism horror movie. Among the three, maybe this one, maybe that one

    "I would like two copies of "Exorcism Video", thank you."

    "Please give us four TET tickets."

    "I want ten tickets for "The Exorcism Video."

    Ten pictures!  ?  At Seattle's AMC Pacific Cinema, the ticket seller looked a little surprised at the curly-haired white man at the front of the line, who looked like he was in his twenties, and handed over a stack of small-denomination bills. At first glance, he knew that he was a teenager who was not old enough to watch R-rated movies.  The leader asked, "Where are your companions?"

    "Right over there, I'm 21 years old." The curly-haired boy quickly showed his driver's license. "See, I'm 21 years old. Those people are under 17 years old, and I am their guardian." See.  The conductor paused, a little anxious, "They have been looking forward to it for a long time."

    The conductor looked at a group of male and female teenagers not far away, shrugged, took the money and gave ten tickets to him, "Take it." He also reminded: "This movie is very scary, but it is not real, it is just a movie.  Movie. Please be safe when watching. Don*t scare yourself. There are vomit bags over there, so bring some with you.§

    "Oh, thank you." The boy took the ticket and left quickly, as if he was afraid that the ticket would be taken back.  As soon as he walked over, the group of teenagers cheered and walked to the screening room with laughter: "I really bought it!", "I said he looks like he is thirty!"

    How could the conductor not know that the boy was not 21 years old, maybe under his age, he just looked old-fashioned.

    A few more tickets were sold, almost all of which were TET. At this time, a young and fat boy came to the queue, already holding a bucket of popcorn, "I want a ticket for "The Exorcism Video"."

    "Sorry." The conductor looked at the computer screen, "The tickets for this show are sold out. You can book tickets for the next show, or choose other movies. You know that our cinema has also released two new exorcism movies. They are also  There are lots of tickets#§

    "I want to watch "Exorcist Video"!" The young fat boy said with a stare, "Why is it sold out so quickly? There's not even one more copy?"

    "Uh, really no." The conductor said helplessly, "TET tickets are very popular."

    The fat boy gasped in frustration: "Then you should give it an extra hall." Many young people lining up behind also exclaimed, "There are no tickets for the first TET show?", "What's going on? There's no opening now!  "There were boos, and someone else said dissatisfiedly: "That guy just bought ten of them in one go."

    Just as it was about to turn into a riot, the bald middle-aged manager in a suit walked over quickly and said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is how it is. Our cinema has an online ticket pre-sale service for this weekend.  Some of the tickets for each of TET's evening and midnight performances have already been sold, so they are selling out very quickly. But I would like to introduce to you another exorcism horror film, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose""

    ※Screw-you, dude!§ the fat boy cursed, and there were other complaints around him: ※Suck.§, ※It*s-not-fair.§#

    "Yeah, online pre-sales are really unfair! What's the difference between them and jumping in line?" Another group of nearly ten young people who came together to watch TET also said, "We don't want to watch TEOER, it is the enemy of TET."  , "Hey look at that poster, you can tell it's a bad movie right away." "Don't those movie critics just say it's not good to watch." "It's a money rip off!"

    The former bald manager rubbed his hands without spreading the floor, and said with a smile: "How about "The Exorcist"?"

    "Boo!!!" A louder boo suddenly sounded, and everyone raised their middle fingers.

    At the same time, the TET screening hall was already packed. Looking at the past, there were almost all ages in the audience. There was already a tense atmosphere before the film even started.

    In another theater not far away, you may be able to hear the sound of TET over there, because the space here is too quiet, and only less than a third of the audience is seated. They are still looking forward to watching TEOER.  , a production of 20 million yuan, adapted from a true story, with the advertising slogan "the most realistic and terrifying exorcism".

    But look around, where are the people?  Don*t a lot of people want to see Exorcism?

    The DPTTE screening hall not far away is even emptier and quieter. There are less than ten people in the one hundred or so seats. I am a super hardcore fan of the "Exorcist" series (I have watched the prequel and am willing to watch another version)? doesn*t have many fans), random viewers, fools

    ※I heard that the heroine died in the end.§

    ※Oh come on man, no spoilers! You ruined my night!§

    This night is a night of terror for many people.

    ?Cities after cities, every venue was full, and bursts of screams!

    There was no applause, but there were tears.

    There were no cheers, but sighs.

    There is entertainment, there are thoughts, there are sad songs, and there are imprints on the soul:

    The-Exorcism-Tapes

    ##

    Someone is robbing a bank!  Male and female robbers!

    "Hello everyone, we don't want to hurt anyone, it's best not to be our enemy. No one moves, no one is hurt, whoever moves, whoever, dies."

    Cold sweat!  He*s talking about Sony Pictures* head of distribution, Roy Brewer.  The face is earth-colored!  He*s talking about Sony Pictures CEO, Michael Linton.

    Dismal business!  We're talking about the midnight premiere of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."  Fail, fail, fail again!  What I*m talking about is its reputation, pre-sale box office and actual box office It didn*t reach the expected figures, and it didn*t appear to be the inextricable fight or even victory over the opponent that was envisioned

    "It's really it's really a damn thing"

    "It's crazy, it's a crazy movie! This is a damn crazy movie It's crazy!"

    From time to time, the film industry goes crazy. Every company hopes that their films will be crazy. But this time, it*s not Sony. This time, they are crazy!

    He swallowed, then smiled awkwardly.  It's Dan Fairman, head of distribution at Warner Bros.  The action of fishing in troubled waters seems to only push the opponent and help others create a market hot spot, a lot of media topics, a lot of audience attention and then, I just stare at others counting money.

    It*s about the box office of the midnight premiere of ※The Exorcist§!

    Who are you looking at?

    "If you move your eyes up from the middle of the list, move a little further, it's faster, it's faster, move it a little bitno? It's at the top, do you see it?"

    I sawa miracle!  Cinematic miracles happening!

    A miracle that belongs to others.

    "It shouldn't have been arranged to 500 homes, ugh Damn it, damn "Exorcism Video"!"

    The power of hot spots is gathered there, and nothing can stop the audience from watching it, R-rated?  For horror movies, that*s a respect!  TET, take it.

    And, thank you.

    Without your help to open the vault, how could it be so golden?

    "Thank you, but it's all ours."

    Bang!  Gunshots.

    "Why? You guys moved."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Exhale and raise your eyebrows!  I'm talking about Lionsgate CEO Jon Feilheimer, distribution director Tom Oldenberg I'm talking about everyone in the TET camp!  Laughter is their voice, high fives are their movements, blowing away the gun smoke, and their graceful demeanor!

    Those people squatting in the corner, if you want to tremble, just tremble!

    That doesn*t count as moving.

    Really, I*m not going to lie to you.

    "Remember, our name is"

    "The Trembling Ocean"?  No!  "Saw"?  No!  "Blair Witch"?  No!  "The Exorcist" prequel, spin-off, sequel?  No no no!

    We only have one name.  Yes, it's us robbing banks, yes it's us flying in the first place, yes it's us scaring the world.

    We call:

    The-Exorcism-Tapes

    ※CUT!!!§

    June 3rd is also the wrap-up day for ※Little Miss Sunshine.§  In the past few days, the crew completed filming the beauty pageant scene without any danger, and today they went out on location to shoot the final scene in the dining area of ??a roadside restaurant near the hotel.  After a morning and half an afternoon of shooting, the excitement finally sounded.

    "A very good one, passed, passed, passed, our final shot is completed!"

    The set was filled with joyful cheers, whether it was superstars like Hanks and Roberts, or little kids like Abigail, or Tim Roth, Paul Dano, or Maurer, Donald Burr.  Special, Jennifer Anderson and other offline staff, everyone is laughing at this moment!

    This incredible and unprecedented genius project, after two months of intense shooting, fighting against time every day, was completed today as scheduled!

    Enough footage was taken, and?The flesh, bones, and soul of a good movie are all there.

    The blue sky reflected the bright smile of Ye Wei. He walked into the performance area with his hands spread out, walked to the wooden dining table, and hugged Hanks who stood up.

    "Thank you, Tom. How can I not thank you for your great help in getting me to this point? Thank you!"

    "Wei, even if I didn't give you a chance, you are destined to be extraordinary. In this matter, we are all lucky." Hanks patted him on the shoulder and said with a sigh.

    "Thank you, Julia. I'm such a bastard. I made you come back half a year after giving birth. I was busy for two months and lost the most precious two months with the babies. I really don't know what to say. I'm sorry. Thank you! You are so important to me."  I have never forgotten your expectations, thank you!§

    "You brat, of course I lost a lot by making this movie of yours, but I also gained a lot, haha, keep working hard!" Roberts hugged him lightly, kissed him on the cheek, and showed his sweet smile.

    ※Thank you, Tim, for a great performance#Thank you, thank you all!§

    Ye Wei hugged Tim Roth, fist-bumped with Dano, lifted Abigail, spun it around in a circle, and put it down. The excitement and joy in his heart was hard to express. He looked at the set filled with laughter and the guys who had been working together for a long time.  Let's go to hell with the director's authority, go to hell with the etiquette on set, go to hell with it!

    He suddenly controlled his emotions, clenched his fists, jumped up high, shook his fists, and shouted "Yeah! It's done!" He jumped up and down again and again, shaking his fists again and again, and the feeling in his heart could not be clearly distinguished.  , everything was intertwined, making him keep shouting: "I did it! We are champions, we did it!!!"

    Abigail also laughed and danced, and Ye Wei danced around her as if in a dance. Everyone clapped, raised their fists, and laughed!

    When you are young, you can dance whenever you want!

    ※Dance! I have nothing to do but dance! When I*m in a bad mood, I just dance!§

    〞〞Yunique Kuler*s blog, June 3, 23:10

    Just when the TET release day is about to pass, the mysterious genius updated the third diary, making fans excited!  Still in the usual style, this sentence is a lyric from "Canned-Heat". This song is the soundtrack to the climax of "Napoleon". Napoleon dances on stage in front of the public, which won the MTV Award for Best Song and Dance Scene.

    What does kule mean?  ?

    Bad mood?

    "Hahaha!" All the fans laughed. Is it because they couldn't bear to see the miserable situation of their opponents?

    And the media knows that in the controversy between "Wedding Day is Coming" VS "Big Shot Napoleon", Cooler sided with Napoleon!

    The incident originated from the fact that MTV channel broadcast this year's MTV Movie Awards last night on June 2. The whole world immediately saw that "Napoleon" won three awards and became the big winner of the night, while Ye Wei became the biggest  Loser, he was the only one who had multiple nominations this year but ended up empty-handed.

    Although he is handsome and will celebrate happily every time someone else wins a prize, the result is everything. In today's media reports, when mentioning him, they all said that "in the confrontation with Napoleon, VIY was completely at a disadvantage" and "the entire  Ceremony 'God of Weddings' did what he does best, blessings", "Prodigy reduces fever"

    Today is definitely a festive day for the black people, and it is inevitable to joke and even laugh at them on the Internet; a gossip tabloid broke the news that VIY approached Lindsay Lohan, but was met with a cold response. An insider said, "He asked Lindsay again and again.  phone number, but she had no interest in him§.

    Some people lamented that VIY should win an award, no matter which one is fine; some people shook their heads and said no, the current result is the best.

    At this moment, Yunik Culler!  The attitude is clear.

    ※Dance! I have nothing to do but dance! When I*m in a bad mood, I just dance!§

    ##

    The announcement of the successful completion of "Sunshine Little Beauty" attracted media reports. First, Ye Wei announced it on his blog and revealed that he would take a good rest for a week to finish the school year and save energy.  , and then the post-production of LMS will begin.

    These are not what people are most interested in. He wrote a very meaningful sentence at the end of this diary: "Buddy, You-wanna-dance? Let's-dance!"

    You want to play tricks with me?  Then have fun!

    What does VIY mean?  ?  Who do you mean?  Yunik Culler?

    A war of words between geniuses is looming No, no!  The media reporters saw the mystery. VIY wanted to take advantage of the situation and hype it up, but who cares about VIY now?  What does it matter what he says?  What does it even matter if the LMS is finished?This week, now!  The whole world only cares about Kule and TET!

    When the box office rankings for June 3 on Boxofficemojo were released, the media was in an uproar!  The whole of Hollywood was shaken. This was a huge earthquake that could destroy the old era. From now on, many things in the film industry will be changed

    Instant kill!  !  !

    The winner of this exorcism battle has been decided in a very short time. "Exorcism Video" beat the other two exorcism films in an instant with an absolute advantage!

    Nothing can stop it from creating amazing miracles, and nothing can stop Yunique Culler from becoming an amazing genius.

    It won*t work if the earth explodes. The question is not who can make him stop, but when he will stop on his own!

    "Master, to be honest with you, I didn't expect it. Really, this is beyond my expectation."

    "Is it okay if you don't pretend? Listen to me, you are already cool. If you pretend anymore, you will be uncool, so don't pretend with me now! I really want to strangle you to death."

    "It's really not true. I was a little scared. I was very optimistic about the market for mockumentaries and I was very confident in the quality of TET. But at the beginning, I thought it would be great if the total box office reached tens of millions, and then the response was great.  I thought it would be 30 million, right? In the second week, I adjusted it to 50 million for a single restaurant. Now I didn*t expect it. This is the chocolate of life, you never know what the next one will taste like.  §

    "You've made a fortune, right? You've made a fortune by cooperating and sharing dividends, right?"

    "Hahaha, that's right. Even if it's divided into cents, I want to buy a lot of things, I want to do charity, and I want to make more movies!"

    ※Don*t pick up girls?§

    "Yes, of course I will. How about I buy you a new director's viewfinder?"

    "I'm not a girl, I'm Master Gia."

    June 3rd to 9th has passed!  The week of Exorcism has come to an end. Looking at the latest North American box office rankings for the week, the world is shocked!  Another pseudo-documentary craze, reappeared yesterday after six years, with even more crazy attention!

    Sony, Warner Bros., Universal, DreamWorks Now if someone takes a photo of the head of those company executives, the whole photo will probably be black or red, and their faces will be black and angry!

    Who was the first person to say that one consumption of pseudo-documentary horror films is enough?  Stand up!

    Who on earth said that "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" is capable of fighting?  Stand up!  !

    ※After all# wait, isn*t that what you said?

    ??Eruption, 2110 theaters are exploding!  Crazy, the whole world is crazy!

    This week the North American film market experienced a blowout, with the weekly box office total reaching $280 million, a new high this year, surpassing the $250 million in the same period last year. Who is responsible?

    Sony!  Warner Brothers!  itThey're failing miserably, not just with their two exorcism films, but with two other new films.  "Lords of Dogtown" is over, Sony will inevitably lose money; "The Summer of Jeans" performed mediocrely, and WB will laugh if it doesn't lose money.  Isn*t Universal miserable?  Under all the pressure, "Tekken Man" looks like shit.

    DreamWorksCrying DreamWorks!  As expected, "Madagascar" failed to win the weekly championship. For a film that cost only $450,000, its box office in its opening week was more than $6 million higher than that of "Madagascar" in its first week. If this was produced by DreamWorks, then damn what if  .

    There is only one champion!

    The battle for exorcism, the king is born!

    It is the official launcher of the pseudo-documentary trend. It is a perfect example of new media*s victory over traditional media. It is an epoch-making symbol that will go down in film history forever!

    This is only the first week of its release, how crazy will it get?  The North American box office exceeded 100 million?  Who knows!

    Its name is:

    The-Exorcism-Tapes

    ##

    There are tourists everywhere in Cliff Park, and the scenery in summer is just right.

    Ye Wei and Nina held hands, laughing and walking in the woods, on the lakeshore, and on the beach. From time to time they danced and played casually, and kissed passionately.

    If life is a movie, this is the best singing and dancing scene between the two so far.
