Nina helped Wayne whisper the introduction of the person he met, and he didn't sit down and take a breath until he walked into the second floor lounge.

There were three or four theater companies who just greeted him, and the theater companies that came to participate in the preview were almost all relatively large groups.

All theaters are important targets in the release of films, because the quality of the films displayed at home directly affects the company's revenue. No film can be easily opened in thousands of theaters.

These theater companies also have a complex and standard rules for introducing videos. Only by passing the review of their viewers can the quality of the video determine the scale of the screening.

Wayne is facing much better now. Compared to the pre-screening of the first film "Happy Death Day", his past achievements have affected Warner and various theater companies' distribution strategies, and it is natural to open a large-scale painting.

The specific quantity of this range depends on the quality of today's video, and the responses from various trial viewers.

Because the film was tried by Warner's filmmakers, and the response they gave to Jeff Robinoff was very good, so there were many media and famous film critics in the lineup that Warner invited today.

When he first came in, the little assistant Nina saw Todd McCarthy of the Hollywood Reporter and Kenneth Tulane of the Los Angeles Times.

Most importantly, without Nina's identification, Wayne saw a chunky and famous film critic, Pulitzer Prize winner, Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun.

He calculated in his mind that Warner Bros. is just a few film critics, and the cost of spending is at least six figures.

Before the film begins, he will not take the initiative to say hello to the critics. He is just a small character, and they can come because of Warner Bros.'s PR.

At this time, Roger Albert, an authoritative person in the film critics, was already sitting in the middle of the cinema. He observed his surroundings, took the initiative to greet the critic on his right hand, and said hello.

"Good evening, Kenneth."

Kenneth Tulan was stunned when he saw him and replied, "Good evening, Roger. I didn't expect you to come to Los Angeles too!"

"Of course, I'm very interested in this young director." Roger Albert smiled and pointed at Wayne who was sitting in the first row. "I watched his last film "Happy Death Day" afterwards. He has a very thoughtful and potential director, right?"

Kenneth Tulan also had a smile on his face, and he curled his lips in his heart, and tried hard to resist the urge to roll his eyes. Interested? Stop talking. If it weren't for Warner's six-figure PR fee, you wouldn't have traveled far to Los Angeles!

In the first row of the theater, Wayne took his assistant and Harry Berry to the middle of the creator, and Nina kept looking back.

"Boss, not far behind us are two film selection experts from Imperial Cinema. On their left are AMG film selection experts, these two are the largest theater companies in North America now."

As Nina whispered, Wayne also looked back. There were a lot of people, and he didn't see who was who.

Then the little assistant continued: "Several Warner Bros. investigators sat among the fans at the end, and it seems that they will receive first-hand news."

Questionnaire surveyors are mixed among fans, which is a common practice for Hollywood film companies. They can not only observe the audience's reactions at the first time, but also collect first-hand information.

"Don't worry about them, Nina. The video begins soon, don't look around."

With Wayne's reminder, the lights in the theater began to go out one after another, and a beam of light was cast from the end of the screening room, hitting the front curtain.

The big screen slowly lit up, and the cinema that was just noisy just now slowly quieted down. The film only added the opening of Warner Bros. without any advertisements. After the opening, there are a line of big words, works by Wayne Greenberg!

"Well, the beginning of the catch." Todd McCarthy, who was sitting behind the side, muttered softly, took out a pencil and opened the notebook in his hand. This is the habit of many film critics. It is much more convenient to write a film review while watching it.

The bright colored beginning directly points out the theme, black boys and white girls. Such plots are the highlights in this era, which will attract the audience's curiosity and allow them to continue watching.

"The lens language is well expressed, with seemingly warm tones, but it reveals a pale background."

Todd McCarthy briefly recorded in the book, yes, maybe only the critics who came today know this director best because he had watched the previous "Happy Death Day".

That dystopian film attracted his interest immediately. Todd McCarthy carefully studied the film, and the independent production at such a small cost actually made a lot of new ideas.

After watching "Escape from the Deadly Town", he knew that this film was also a dystopian thriller.

He could clearly feel that this young director has made great progress, and compared to the most tender lens language in the first work, this one is much better.

As the plot gradually deepened, there was no sound of speech in the theater, and Todd McCarthy also focused on the story.

The film was better than half of it. The biggest feeling he gave was that the director made a story that should have become weird and dark through the role of camera language.

Especially since he entered the town, whether it was the suspense setting or the performances of the actors in it, even a senior moviegoer like him was full of interest in this story.

When the film gradually came to the end, Todd McCarthy was excited when he saw that the male protagonist was not hypnotized and actually had cotton blocked in his ears.

The black male protagonist picked out the cotton from the chair and stuffed it into his ears, thus killing the other party. What is the significance of picking cotton? Because picking cotton is the most representative job of black slaves...

And those deer are also metaphors for black people. This young director's grasp of the details of the film is simply amazing.

The twisted video is a temporary definition of the film when Todd McCarthy saw this. From the fact that most viewers in the theater are amused by the cold humor, to the accumulation of all the details in the end, it will make people unconsciously feel cold on their backs and even their scalp numb.

Everyone was worried with this black guy. When they saw him start to fight back, everyone felt a sense of joy and pleasure.

"He still pays too much attention to bloody scenes. Playing with dark humanity has become the director's instinct, and it may be that he only has some excitement."

Todd McCarthy shook his head a pity when he saw the end of the film. He had just seen Wayne Greenberg in the distance, a very young and refreshing person. I wonder why he always likes to play with these things. Could it be that without this style of dark twisted human nature, he would not make a movie?

This will not be Wayne Greenberg's last movie, nor will it be the last movie where he takes "the devil in society" as the main entry point. Todd has met directors of similar styles, but none of them can be as mixed with personal style as Wayne, and can attract popular movie fans.

The video did not add subtitles, and the screen immediately went dark after the end, and the lights in the cinema also lit up. Many viewers were still immersed in the video, until half a minute later, everyone realized that the video was over.

Not only the movie fans sitting in the back row, but also the large number of media reporters in the front half were silent. Everyone was watching the director in the first row, as if they were brewing something.

Suddenly, no matter where it started, the applause rang out like a tsunami, and the sound even reached the door of the theater, especially the crowd of fans behind, who were clapping and shouting loudly!

The applause continued, and John walked over with his head down and gave him a thumbs up.

After watching the video, applauding politely was the customary rule that everyone agreed upon. Wayne thought so, but he didn't expect the applause to last for so long.

The fans in the back row have already started to line up to go out slowly. Warner Bros. investigators are now at the entrance of the cinema, taking back the questionnaires from the discussing audience.

"When the video is officially released, I will definitely call my friends and watch it again."

"Yes, I kept opening my eyes wide, and I didn't dare to miss any details."

Listening to the audience talking one by one, Warner's questionnaire was also constantly collecting feedback.

“A”

“A+”

“A+”

"A, this is a perfect horror thriller!"

“…………”

Warner staff understood the target group of the film, and today they invited all these young people, but they were still shocked by the overwhelming reputation of the audience.

These extremely eye-catching audience ratings made the staff very excited. According to today's screening trend, the film has a very high possibility of box office hitting.

Wayne was still staring at the audience behind him and slowly went out. The critics invited by Warner Bros. had already left the cinema first and went to the banquet hall in the hotel next to the cinema, where there was a reception party.

The three main actors of the film have already gone to the second floor of the theater for interviews.

Just as Wayne watched the audience trance, Warner Bros. producer John hurried over.

"oh my god! Wayne." John hugged him hard. "We have a great chance of success. Have you heard the applause from those people just now? Did you hear it?"

"yes! John, yes, I heard it!" This hug interrupted Wayne's trance, which was the long-lasting applause just now. He instantly felt that no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it.

"Oh, we have to hurry up. Jeff asked me to come and call you, he would introduce those people to you."
Chapter completed!
