Chapter 77 - Choice (1/2)
Once again returning back to the theatre, Su Min had become used to it.
This time there were still quite a few people in the theatre, but they were not wearing helmets and were just watching the movie directly. Everything was still dark.
There was still the ending credits and the Easter eggs remaining.
This horror movie didn’t have anything major and even the songs played at the end was quite ordinary. As for the Easter egg, it revealed how Xiao Chen really cooked.
It was the scene Su Min saw. He used his hands to stir through the food and it wasn’t achieved through special effects. Instead, the actor had his hands hidden in his clothes and he had used a fake hand to cook.
After adding in a little effect, it looked extremely realistic.
Su Min saw this and wanted to laugh. It was really shocking seeing that scene in the movie earlier because it was his first time seeing something like that. He had seen many things in horror movies, but he had never seen something like this before.
As usual, Chen Su’s name didn’t appear in the cast list. He was used to this. He placed his helmet down and got ready to leave.
Speaking of leaving, he had actually fulfilled Chen Su’s wish at the end before he left the movie. That was truly a shocking decision of his and he even suspected that something had possessed him at that time.
Su Min could faintly tell that he was a real person.
But Chen Su himself didn’t say anything. He seemed to be preparing something. Unless he personally found out about it himself, even if he asked about it, he probably wouldn’t get the answer he wanted.
The lights in the theatre turned on and the audience started to leave while quietly chatting with each other.
“Unbelievable. I bought a ticket for holographic viewing, but I ended up just watching the movie the normal way with the others.”
“Next time I’m not coming with you. We agreed that we would live until the end, yet you ended up dying before I did.”
“Fortunately, I managed to last a few minutes longer than last time. This can be considered making a progress. Maybe next time I’ll be able to make it to the end. Wouldn’t that be great?”
“………I almost wet myself because of that child. To think that he could do something like that. I almost chose to leave the experience voluntarily.”
Su Min listened to their conversation in silence.
No staff came in this time. When Su Min finally came out of the theatre, he just happened to run into Xiao He who was about to enter.
He quickly stepped forward, “Mr. Su, please come here.”
Su Min nodded.
“Have you thought about the proposal last time?” Xiao He asked hesitantly: “If you haven’t thought——-”
Su Min said: “I have decided.”
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, “Then can you tell me your decision?”
The gift from the cinema last time was the option of choosing from a list of upcoming movies. Although the release date for them weren’t very close, most of the movies have already been set.
The range was quite wide. It ranged from horror movies to romance movies, and even included suspense and animations.
Following the experience last time in a romance movie, Su Min even wondered if Chen Su would also appear in the animated movie.
At that time, it would have turned into a horror animation which can be very scary.
Xiao He smiled, “Then please come with me Mr. Su.”
Su Min followed Xiao He out through a different exit and entered a new room filled with various posters.
Some of them were posters of recently released movies while others had not yet been released. Most movies would have already had their posters done before the movie is even released.
If the box office and reception of the movie is good, they would then release another limited-edition poster. It would be released while the movie is still hot commodity amongst the fans.
Xiao He said: “Then please let me know of your decision. At that time, the movie will only have you as the its holographic audience.”
This was something the cinema regarded very highly of.
Because holographic viewing was a means of attracting audiences, once it is locked onto only one person it would mean that there would be less ticket sales. Although it originally may not have many ticket sales, it would at least reduce in number after this is set.
But now, they have given Su Min this opportunity.
Su Min thought about it and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, “This one.”
Xiao He looked at and started to search for it on the computer.
He had originally thought that it might be a horror movie with a strange name, but he was shocked after reading the synopsis.
It turned out to be this movie. He even wondered if it was a mistake by the superiors. How could they even let 18+ movies through…….
Xiao He asked: “Are you sure you didn’t choose the wrong one?”
Su Min said: “No, it’s this one.”
Xiao He sneaked a few glances at Su Min but Su Min remained expressionless. Internally he was in awe at how brave he was. With an18+ movie like this, the script given by the cinema would definitely be very stimulating. He didn’t even know if he would be able to bear it.
Although he had not seen the movie, he could guess what it was about.
Holographic viewing technology had only been out for a few months and had not yet released any 18+ movies. This would be its first one.
The gift for him was something one of the heads of the cinema gave. Although he didn’t know why they would give him something like this, he was just a lowly staff so he could only do as he was told.
Xiao He prepared everything and said: “Done. We will notify you when it is released. You just need to bring along with you your ID card.”
Su Min nodded, “I can go now?”
“Of course you can.” Xiao He quickly stood up and said: “If you pass the scoring this time, you will receive a text message.”
This had been said many times so Su Min already know of the procedures. After leaving the staffroom, he returned to the cinema hall.
There was a long line outside the ticket machine.
Su Min glanced over at the poster for “The Last Supper”, listened to some of the discussions and proceeded to leave the cinema.
