Chapter 562 "Silence of the Lambs" (Lots of Plot Warnings)

"There's only half a month left. Are you interested in attending the Sony PS launch conference?"

On the phone, Miki called specifically and asked.

In the console game industry, Sony's PS conference is one of the most trafficked conferences. Many masterpieces hope to be featured on the Sony PS conference for a wave of publicity before they are released. This is much more traffic than the trending searches on Twitter.

Luo Quan would definitely not refuse Miki's invitation.

Japanese game geeks are an important target for this game. The payment rate for games there is one of the highest in the world.

However, after all, the game is still under production. Although the popularity is exploding now, it will probably have to be played again in a few months. Whether it can become a phenomenon-level game depends on the effect of the complete game.

After finishing the game work, Luo Quan also devoted his energy to the new movie.

"The Silence of the Lambs" is about to be released, and all aspects of promotion have been hosted and launched by Universal.

Universal Pictures is solely responsible for the promotion and theater arrangements of this movie. Last time they missed Luo Quan's "Resident Evil", and they will not make the same mistake again this time.

Posters of the film have been put up on advertising boards at bus stops and subway stations.

In the dark blue background is the pale face of the heroine Carillian, with a colorful moth perched on her lips. If you look carefully at the back of the moth, the pattern looks like a skull.

But if you zoom in, you will be surprised to find that the skull is composed of the backs of multiple women.

This kind of poster with hidden secrets is indeed quite rare. Most people didn't notice this detail when they first saw it. After reading it, they only felt a chill in their scalps.

Soon, the film’s rating was also released.

Children under the age of 12 are prohibited from watching. Teenagers under the age of 16 must watch with the company of their parents.

This rating system shows that the scale of the movie is not particularly large, but it is not filled with blood-pressure-raising bloody scenes like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

But since it is a thriller, there will definitely be scary scenes, so it makes sense that it is not suitable for children to watch.

However, this rating has also disappointed some thriller fans who were looking forward to the movie. How scary can a movie that can be watched by people over 12 years old be?

Originally, everyone thought that this would be a horror movie that would make everyone scream like "Resident Evil", but judging from the current situation, all the fear is probably due to Luo Quan's appearance.

With this in mind, people have been waiting for the live broadcast of the movie premiere.

The premiere was held at the Hilton Hotel in New York. Not many actors were invited. After all, Luo Quan didn't have many acquaintances in the United States. However, two big-name stars, Carillian and Leon, were present, and Universal also made arrangements. Some celebrities who had no schedule came to support us.

In addition to celebrities, the largest group Luo Quan invited this time were professional film critics and reporters from film review websites.

As she said when she was making the movie, she went for the Oscar for this movie.

What's most important if you want to win an Oscar?

Of course, film quality is one aspect, but public opinion and public relations are also indispensable. This is almost an established rule in the industry.

And in some cases, the opinions of public relations and media people are sometimes more decisive than the film or the actors themselves.

The Oscars have been held for so many years, and there are quite a few Academy Awards and Best Actors and Best Actors who have been called parallel imports by the public.

Since Shui Na is definitely not as strong as his competitors, and winning the award is very controversial, it is natural that he relies on public relations.

Therefore, although Luo Quan does not feel that he is not strong enough, he still wants to follow the crowd and publicize. After all, the fragrance of wine is afraid of the deep alley.

The film critics invited this time basically include those at the top of the American pyramid. Many of them are industry leaders. They have reviewed many more movies than Luo Quan has ever heard of.

Eloquan's connections definitely didn't have the ability to recruit everyone. She asked Seifert to help, and then Seifert used Universal Pictures' influence to invite them.

After the premiere started, the guests attending the meeting sat upright and listened to Luo Quan and a group of creatives on the stage chatting about some interesting things they encountered during the creation process.

These include the experience of filming at the famous Sethi Hotel, and the production being brought to a standstill due to strike demonstrations.

In short, the filming of the movie is made as difficult as possible, so that it can also reflect how difficult it is for everyone.

After speaking for about an hour, the premiere ended with the joint thanks from all the main creators, the screen slowly lowered, and the movie began to play.

At the same time, "Silence of the Lambs" also began playing in theaters across the United States.

Sandok is an independent film critic. He often makes film review videos and uploads them to YouTube. Because of his vicious and humorous language, he has more than one million fans on YouTube.

In the United States, quite a few horror movies and bad movies are basically synonymous. Shoddy production, nonsense scripts, exaggerated acting skills, and crotch-stretching special effects are basically the labels of this type of movie.

This type of movie is what Sandok likes to comment on most. Every time a video is released, there will be a garbage horror movie that is scolded bloody.

However, he still has high expectations for "The Silence of the Lambs". After all, who knows Luo Quan's name?

This is a rising star in the film and television industry, both in terms of directing skills and acting skills.

The only shortcoming is that they are not very open and open enough in the movie. This is a great regret for the majority of Western men.

I don’t know if I can see Luo Quan give a performance like Carillon’s performance in “Titanic” this time?

This is a thought in Sandok's heart, and it is also his greatest expectation for this movie.

As an academic, he actually looks down on horror movies, and since the Oscar ceremony, no horror film has won an award. He doesn't think "The Silence of the Lambs" can be an exception.

With this in mind, Sandok crossed his hands in front of his stomach and stared at the big screen in front of him.

The movie has ended. The first scene is in a forest training ground, where the heroine Detective Starling, played by Carillian, is undergoing physical training.

After a while, a male police officer ran over and told her that her boss, Crawford, was looking for her.

Starling panted, stopped, and headed to Crawford's office.

Here, she saw a lot of newspapers and case analyses, all related to the recently famous murderer Buffalo Bill.

Crawford also came to her for this case. He hoped that Starling could go to a prison to meet a psychiatrist named Hannie, communicate with her, and ask her to analyze Buffalo Bill.

Although Starling didn't understand why as a police officer, she had to find another criminal to solve the case, she didn't ask any more questions about what her boss told her, but nodded and accepted it.

When the camera turned, Starling changed into civilian clothes and came to the prison.

The dressed-up Starling wore a dark coat, exuding intellectual and mature beauty.

Originally she thought it was just an ordinary interrogation, but the warden's series of notes made the atmosphere tense instantly.

Starling had an intuition that behind these bans one after another, they were probably all summed up at the cost of blood. At this moment, she understood that the prisoner she was about to face was probably not an ordinary person, and was probably someone bigger than a bison. Bill is also a dangerous and brutal criminal.

At the corner of the stairs, the warden once again reminded Starling not to stay away from the cell for too long, and told her that the criminal once used a trick to break free from the restraints and ate half of a nurse's face.

And when this prisoner was eating people, her heart rate did not even exceed 80 per minute!

This warning made Starling swallow, and her heart suddenly trembled.

Also nervous were the audience watching the movie.

Before the movie was aired, everyone knew what kind of character Dr. Hannie was.

But when the word cannibalism actually appeared in the movie and was narrated by the characters, people still felt a creepy feeling.

This is due to the emotions in the genes. Normal people will only feel disgusted when hearing these two words, but after seeing people who behave like this, they will only feel fear.

The atmosphere of terror was exaggerated to the extreme at this moment, and everyone was imagining what kind of human devil was being held in the prison.

In the movie, after entering the prison alone, Starling briefly chatted with the black guard before finally entering the prison corridor.

There are several cells here, and each cell contains prisoners of different shapes, and Dr. Hannie is at the end of the cell.

Starling walked slowly past these cells. In one of the cells, the prisoner suddenly leaned on the iron railing and said a rather vulgar word.

This made Starling frown and quicken his pace.

But when she reached the end of the cell, her pace slowed down involuntarily.

Before this, she had imagined what Dr. Hannie looked like countless times.

Maybe he was a tall and strong man like a bear, or maybe he was a short and insignificant monkey, skinny or fat. In short, she had guessed what he looked like.

But Dr. Hanni who really appeared in front of her was a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

She just stood in the cell leisurely with a smile on her face, carrying an aristocratic temperament, and quietly looked at Starling who walked to the opposite side of the cell.

"Good morning." Hanny greeted softly and was the first to break the brief silence.

Starling knew that the confrontation between her and Dr. Hanni had already begun. In order not to be taken over, she expressed her purpose of visit in a natural expression and showed Dr. Hanni her police card as requested.

Across the transparent cell, Hannie just said "come closer" to Starling in the distance, which made people's hair stand on end.

This was originally a normal request, but in the eyes of the audience, it was a conspiracy of Dr. Hanni. If he got close, it was very likely that she would break free from the shackles of the cell in the next second and hurt Starling.

This is the first reaction to the inherent image of the character. There is no doubt that Luo Quan conquered all the audiences in an instant with her unparalleled acting skills.

At this moment, she seemed to be the murderous demon, with every move hiding a turbulent crisis.

However, despite sensing the danger, Starling still boldly took a few steps forward.

After Hannie read the police card, she didn't take any extra action.

The first round of confrontation passed like this. This was a test of Hanni's courage against Starling. If he couldn't pass this level, then the interrogation would naturally not be possible.

Next, the two presented an intense and wonderful dialogue performance to the audience, and Luo Quan, who played Hanny, used his breathtaking acting skills to tell the world what a high-IQ gentleman criminal is.

Her performance was flawless and perfectly integrated with the role she wanted to play. Every look and movement she made made people feel scared, but her words were full of politeness and wisdom.

These two huge contradictions also make the image of Dr. Hannie more three-dimensional, making his impression in the hearts of the audience extremely profound.

This performance, with only two people talking, lasted for more than ten minutes.

After all, Officer Starling was no match for Dr. Hannie. Her request to help the police was flatly rejected, and she was also ridiculed by Dr. Hannie's language.

But just as Starling left the cell, she was attacked by an unknown liquid from the prisoner in the next cell.

Dr. Hannie felt that this was extremely impolite behavior, so in order to make up for it, he called Starling back and gave her some hints about the case.

In this plot, the background music makes the atmosphere extremely urgent, as if unforeseen danger will occur in the next second.

Obviously nothing dangerous happened, but the audience's hearts were lifted into their throats, and their palms were already covered with sweat.

Just at the beginning of this paragraph, the film's excellence has been clearly demonstrated. All the film critics at the premiere who were discriminating against horror films put away their stereotypes and began to seriously examine this film wholeheartedly. work.

On the big screen, the plot of the movie progressed steadily. Starling returned to prison again during her period as a police officer, and exchanged information with Dr. Hannie again. Using the change of cells as a reward, she obtained more accurate information about Buffalo Bill.

After an hour of reasoning, investigation, and conversation, the plot finally reached its climax.

The congressman's daughter was kidnapped by Buffalo Bill. The police, who originally did not intend to compromise with Dr. Hannie, finally gave in to pressure and agreed to Starling's request.

Soon, Dr. Hannie was transferred out of the prison. After meeting with the congressman and telling some false information about Buffalo Bill, she was imprisoned in a room on the top floor of the hotel.

And here she will complete a painting that will shock the whole world!
