Chapter 39 Challenge
"Manny, let's go to the movie together today." Melanie Sloan sat next to Scarlett.
"Watch a movie? Oh, mom, how long has it been, you haven't been to the theater anymore? Why do you want to go today?" Scarlett was wearing a facial mask on his face, and "Friends" was being played on the TV.
Melanie Sloan touched Scarlett's long hair: "It's because I haven't been there for a long time, so I want to go today, let alone see the latest movie you starred in. Isn't this possible? Get it done quickly."
"Okay, but mom, you need to be mentally prepared. That's not a comedy. Maybe we can go to the Terminator or the Beautiful Lawyer and call Christine. He must be happy to go to the movie."
"No, I just want to see your new film. I read the newspaper and many people have high praise for your acting skills."
Seeing that Scarlett couldn't persuade her mother, she could only agree to accompany her mother to the cinema to watch "Burning Live".
At nine o'clock in the evening, Scarlett drove with her mother Melanie Sloan to 234 West 42nd Street, which is the central area of Times Square.
There are many cinemas here, and tonight they are going to AMC Cinema. AMC Entertainment Group has 5,325 screens in North America, ranking second only to Emperor Entertainment Group.
There are theaters in Asia and Europe, and it is also the second largest theater in the world. It is worth mentioning that in later generations, AMC was acquired by Wanda from China in 2013, and Wanda also became the world's first theater.
"There are so many people." Melanie Sloan and Scarlett appeared at the door of AMC Cinema, and today coincided with Friday.
From Friday to Sunday, the box office revenue in these three days usually accounts for the big part of a movie's box office in a week, which is also the reason why many movies are painted on Friday.
"You can only queue up, it should be very fast."
Lisa Louise is a junior at New York University. When Rita Conroy's recordings were circulating online, she was worried about Rita Conroy like many people.
After knowing that Rita Conroy's fate was announced in "Buried Live", she decided to go to the theater to watch it, so she brought her boyfriend Jack Brandt here today.
Her boyfriend Jack didn't know that she was going to watch "Buried Live". Jack prefers big productions. After coming here, the two had a disagreement.
"Lisa, why do you want to watch "Buried Live"? I want to watch "Terminator 3" or "The Pretty of Law" even more."
"Why do you need to look at justice? Because there are beautiful women, Terminator, I'm not interested. I want to see buried alive. Don't you know what Rita Conroy happened?"
"Come on, everyone knows that it is used by the Lion Gate to deceive people. Everything is fake. You are too naive."
"Jack, I only watch it alive, if you don't want to, I can watch it alone. Also, I bet if Scarlett Johnson was not like the character in the stills but like the one in "Lost Tokyo", I'm sure you will support me without hesitation.
I don't want to force you, you can choose to see what you want to see, and then we can say goodbye."
Scarlett touched her nose awkwardly, but she didn't expect that she would hear this sentence when she was queuing up.
"Manny, this means you're successful." Melanie Sloan said softly.
"Lisa, how could you threaten me with breakup? I just wanted you to watch a movie to start our happy weekend, and what kind of movie do you expect to make for $10,000? The cost of a DV camcorder is also higher than this."
Scarlett was about to tell him that the man in front of him could make a good movie for 10,000 US dollars, and a man in front of the man and woman turned his head: "Brother, a man can make a good movie for 10,000 US dollars, have you not read Roger Albert's film reviews? He gave four stars."
"Jack, look at him saying that too. If it is not a big production, it must be a good movie. There are too many examples of this. If you insist on asking, I can only say sorry."
Lisa Louise is more confident at this moment. Of course, she said that breaking up is more about putting pressure on her, and she doesn't have the courage to see her buried alive alone.
"Okay, I didn't say I won't look, my dear, let's just look at it and bury it alive." Jack Brandt hung his head.
Hearing the helpless compromise of the man in front of him, Scarlett smiled, and the long line quickly lined up in front.
"Give me two "Buried Alive" photos." Jack Brandt took out his wallet.
"What seats do you need? Now this game is almost full. If you want to see it, the location is not good, and there is still a good place to end up." The ticket seller said gently.
"Oh, is it almost full? It's incredible that such a movie is so popular. I have to say that the Lions Gate has made a fortune with the anti-war era. Perhaps they can consider awarding box office incentive awards to politicians."
"Jack, you're talking too much nonsense, and you shouldn't affect others' feelings about it. Give me two current sessions, and it doesn't matter if the seats are." Lisa snatched the wallet from her boyfriend's hand and paid directly.
"Mom, do we want to wait for the next game?" Scarlett turned his head and asked.
"No, we'll have this one."
Scarlett nodded and paid for two tickets. The seats were two on the far right of the first row. In such a position, you not only need to look up but also have a good angle.
When Scarlett walked in with her mother, she immediately saw a lot of people gathering together, as if they were looking at something, and people screamed from time to time.
"Jack, you can consider giving it a try, this is the time to test your courage."
Jack Brandt looked at the big coffin and frowned: "Oh coffin, this is not a joke. I have no interest in this at all. And I am still alive now, I don't want to lie in it. That's not a good idea."
"Meaning? Do you have to see God when you lie in? So what should Scarlett do? If you are afraid, I'll try it myself."
A man standing beside Lisa and Jack whistled at Lisa and said, "Brother, don't underestimate this coffin. I promise that you will be scared to pee your pants when you go in. Many people can't even stay for a minute when they go in. Maybe thirty seconds are enough."
"You can't stay for a minute? Man, you're so exaggerating. I've never been afraid of these things. The haunted house is like a toy for a child to me." Jack Brandt naturally doesn't want to be looked down upon, especially in front of his own women.
"Everyone can brag, but the facts have been scared, and they all come out crying.
Now there are twenty minutes left to the beginning of the next game. If you can stay in for ten minutes, I will give you a hundred dollars. If you can’t stay, give me a hundred dollars, OK?"
The crowd of people watching started to cheer, and Jack Brandt stood up under Lisa's gaze: "Am I still afraid of you?"
"I'm going in," Jack Brandt said to the staff.
"Sir, do you have claustrophobia? Or sudden diseases such as heart disease?" The staff asked carefully. He didn't dare to be careless if an accident occurs, the responsibility would be high.
"I don't."
"You can go in, but you can't bring your phone watch in. If you can't stand it, there will be a switch inside. As long as you press it, we will turn it on and let you come out.
Also, our record is 25 minutes. If you can exceed 25 minutes, you will receive a $1,000 reward from our Lions Gate." The staff signaled the switch position.
Jack Brandt hugged his girlfriend: "Lisa, I'm going in, it's not a problem for me at all, I'll get you $1,100."
"Yes, I'm looking forward to you giving me $100 so that I can buy some snacks and bring them in." The man who bets with Jack said with a smile.
"Let's see." Jack Brandt stepped in.
This coffin is of characteristic and can accommodate two people in size. The key is that except for oxygen inside, the coffin is completely sound-proof, and you will not hear the sound of the outside world after entering. More importantly, there is a small speaker inside, which will emit a dripping sound of water.
Many people have already entered today, but they can't bear it anymore.
Chen Tian’s suggestion attracted many people and made many people interested in burying alive.
