Chapter 2127 2127 The six supernatural senses
No one would suspect that the script of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" must have its own characteristics, otherwise Hugo would not have nodded and agreed to star in this work. But even so, when Hugo, Toni Colette, Kate Beckinsale, Haley Joe Osmon and other starring actors thought that "this is not a horror movie", all the reporters were still surprised.
I originally thought the premiere was just a routine, and so many reporters came to the scene for the possibility of "Hugo and Charlize" joining hands on the red carpet. So when I saw this pair of Hollywood golden boys and girls walking on the red carpet together, most of the reporters were already successful. They were more dispensable for the subsequent development of the film. If it weren't for giving Hugo face, many media would probably leave the scene halfway. Of course, there is another advantage to staying, to see the jokes of this horror movie.
But now things are a little strange. Toni repeatedly emphasized, "This is a movie about family affection, not a horror movie at all." Her firm attitude made the reporters confused: Then what's going on? Is it the crew's public relations strategy? In order to attract more viewers who "refuse to go to the cinema because it is a horror movie" to let go of prejudice? But this makes no sense, because the "supernatural sixth sense" is a horror movie, which is officially certified by Bowei Pictures!
After the premiere, everyone began to flock toward China. The Chinese theaters, and the audience and reporters who received the ticket to the premiere were eager to take a look. Those who regretted passing by the premiere were still unwilling to leave, hoping to wait at the door and learn about the situation of the movie from the audience as soon as possible.
Nicholas found Hugo in a circle and he was signing an autograph for a group of fanatical fans. From those words, we can know that these are fans of Glory to Death. They all began to miss the band and asked when the fourth album of Glory to Death will be released. Hugo talked to everyone patiently, and the atmosphere on the scene was very warm.
It was not until the premiere was approaching Kaifeng time that Hugo said goodbye and left. Nicholas quickly followed him. Hugo glanced at him, "Are you here to get me and Charlize exclusive?"
Nicholas glanced at Hugo helplessly, "If so, would you give it?" Hugo smiled and said nothing. Nicholas was very clear about this answer. In fact, Hugo and Charlize attended the premiere together today, which was already the greatest limit. It was a huge surprise, so Nicholas could not ask for more, "No, I'm here to ask you, what's going on with this movie?"
Hugo was a little surprised and cast a surprise look at Nicholas, "I meant it, why did you take on this script? And you kept saying that this is not a horror movie. What's going on?" Nicholas explained further.
Hugo thought seriously, "Let me say this, the horror films that appeared in the second half of the 1980s were mainly 'scared', but the horror films before this were more about exploring psychological thrillers and darkness, and scaring was just an accompanying effect." Nicholas nodded, "For example, the 'Shirting', such as the 'Exorcist'." This answer made Hugo nod and smiled, "Strictly speaking, the 'Supernatural Sixth Sense' is more of a retro horror movie. Horror is just a medium that pours in to convey different stories."
Hugo's answer was very simple, but it was very clear, which made Nicholas suddenly wake up. If it were a work like "The Shining", it would be like Jack Nicholson that made Hugo's franchise not seem shocking.
Suddenly, Hugo seemed to have thought of something again and said seriously, "Remember, you must be sure, have you read it carefully?"
Before Nicholas could react, he saw Hugo leaving quickly. Then he saw Hugo joining the crew and walking towards the screening hall. Nicholas just ran two steps forward, but could only give up and chewed carefully, but still had no idea what it means, "You must be sure, have you watched carefully?" Did he not watch the movie carefully enough?
Unlike ordinary audiences, as film critics and professional journalists, they must watch movies seriously so that the articles they write are interesting, rather than making up random things. Therefore, even popcorn movies, even big and bad movies, they must read them carefully. So, why did Hugo explain this specifically? And it is a horror movie!
Is it because there are details like "Shirt" in the movie? Or is there a scene of paying tribute to "Shirt" in the movie? God, if you devote yourself to watching a horror movie, you will probably be twice as scared... Could this be just Hugo's prank?
Nicholas felt that his mind was full of question marks. Even if he knew that this was a trap, he could only jump in with a heavy mood.
I have to say that the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" filled Nicholas with countless question marks from the beginning and also deeply felt the chill. When he saw Leonardo shoot at Hugo, Nicholas was so scared that he almost jumped out of the chair: If the character played by Hugo died at the beginning, this is the biggest shake point in the whole movie. Everyone was deceived by the gimmick of "starring Hugo", and Hugo ended when he appeared. Then what else is there to watch in this movie?
Fortunately, Malcolm, played by Hugo, was saved next, which made Nicholas breathe a sigh of relief, astonished as him, and the audience in the entire cinema were also shocked.
The story then slowly unfolded. To Nicholas's surprise, the real protagonists of the movie were Hugo and Haley. As we all know, there is a joke circulating in Hollywood, "Never work with children and animals" because children and animals are completely uncontrollable, and there are often too many accidents during the shooting process, which leads to the unknown quality of the movie's finished product, either extremely outstanding or a disaster.
But the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" boldly put Hailey in front of Hugo, even an ordinary actor, his feet are weak when he stands in front of Hugo, let alone children with almost no acting experience. This is simply no different from seeking death.
However, the reason why Nicholas was surprised was that in the first thirty minutes of the movie, Haley's performance was simple but delicate, and it actually had a shocking power. Even in front of Hugo, it was not inferior. This could definitely be said to be a huge surprise.
As for the advancement of the movie itself, it is indeed not like a horror movie. Thirty minutes passed without ghosts or blood. It is just a normal story, telling the story of Cole who lives with his mother, while Malcolm is a psychiatrist. There are also major problems between him and his wife, but he must concentrate all his energy to help Cole out of the predicament.
Nicholas can see why all the actors repeatedly emphasized that this is not a horror movie. Although the movie is filled with a strange horror atmosphere, something seems to happen, but it makes people unable to understand what is going on. However, it is still far from "horror movies", and even psychological thriller is not counted.
But... the story itself is not very innovative, it is just a simple film that helps children get out of their psychological difficulties. This disappointed Nicholas, but he still had to cheer up because of what Hugo said, "Have you read it carefully?"
Until halfway through the movie, he looked at Cole's tears and said softly in a trembling voice, "I can see the dead." The indescribable fear made Nicholas start to shivering in an instant, and there was no way to stop. One after another, he looked at the big screen, Malcolm and Cole's slow and mysterious aura slowly flowing. All the horror atmosphere and Cole's strange behavior were explained, and everything was explained in an instant, causing Nicholas' heart to stop beating.
The entire cinema was in a dead silence, and everyone held their breath and could not move at all. It was not until this moment that the veil of the terrifying "Supernatural Sixth Sense" slowly unveiled.
Although Malcolm believes that Cole is an hallucination, the audience at the cinema knows that things are definitely not that simple. Sure enough, the subsequent plot development is creepy. The ghosts that are invisible around but still exist make the entire theater filled with a cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow. You know, it is midsummer and August, but it is as cold as Canada in December. The biting cold makes the heart shrink into a ball.
Malcolm never believed Cole's words, and at the same time he found that he and his wife were getting farther and farther away. He even suspected that his wife had an affair, which made him completely absent-minded. However, his distrust disappointed Cole. He looked at Cole with tears in his eyes and begged, "If you don't believe me, how can you help me?" This deeply touched Malcolm.
Malcolm remembered Vincent's original situation, almost exactly the same as Cole, so he began to search for the tape he had talked to Vincent before, and unexpectedly found that there was a soft murmur sound in the tape, which was a Spanish passage, and kept calling for help, "Please save me, save me, I don't want to see God." This made Malcolm understand everything immediately.
Nicholas only felt that all the hairs on his back were standing up, because he also understood the whole thing. Vincent could see ghosts like Cole, but no one could understand them. So Vincent was driven crazy in the end and chose to understand himself. Now Cole is facing the same situation.
