Chapter 95 Battle of Abilities

The filming location of the second episode of the first round of the Battle of the Abilities is in an abandoned small building that has not been used for a long time.

People who are a little old may remember that in the 80s, a certain local studio once produced a horror film called "Small Building Ghost", and the main location of the film was here.

At that time, the country's control over strange powers and gods was not as strict as it is now, so a number of horror films were released.Interestingly, perhaps because of the underdeveloped special effects technology at that time, the crew paid more attention to the use of script rhythm, actors' acting skills, scene atmosphere and soundtrack to create effects, and the produced dramas were often scary.

"Small Building Ghost" mainly tells about a beautiful and intelligent "Cinderella" who found a job as a housekeeper in a wealthy family, and many strange and bizarre things happened in this family after that.The owner of the small building is also the male protagonist is a gentleman who lives in seclusion. He is unsmiling but handsome and rich. In today's romance films, it is a story of a domineering president and a pretty maid. However, "Ghost in Xiaolou" "Since it is a horror film, it is naturally impossible to follow the path of tenderness.

The atmosphere of the whole film is oppressive, weird, full of uncomfortable mysteries everywhere.In the beginning, the work of a gentleman was not clearly stated in the film. The audience only knew that he was rich and often went out to do errands, so the heroine was often left alone to watch the house.There is an attic in a gentleman's house, which is usually locked. At first, the heroine was not allowed to clean it or even approach it. However, by chance, the heroine accidentally saw the things in the attic and found that it was full of hair. All kinds of puppets are displayed.

The gentleman whose secret was exposed told the heroine that he was very interested in dolls since he was a child, so he spent money to collect many dolls from all over the world as a private collection.The heroine believed the gentleman's words, but something terrible happened.The subsequent plot is a very typical doll haunting route. The heroine has nightmares and encounters strange things constantly. It is not until the end that she realizes that the so-called gentleman is a mental patient. He is addicted to violence and killed many women who came to his house as servants. , and cut off their hair to make dolls one after another, and the so-called weird incidents are the bad taste of a gentleman playing with others. His so-called going out to do business is actually hiding in the secret room at home to create all kinds of weird things event.At the end of the story, the heroine killed the gentleman and saved her own life by relying on her intelligence and the help of the supporting role.

There are two interesting points about the content of this movie today. One is that it is not a male protagonist who helps the heroine to defeat the gentleman in the end, but the heroine’s fellow, a very uncomfortable-looking The second is that the heroine at the end of the film was going to burn all the dolls and escape from this magic cave, but at the last moment she was attracted by the beautiful clothes and shiny jewelry on the dolls. Instead of burning these dolls, they chose to inherit them and become the new dolls' masters.When, at the end of the film, a plainly dressed strange country girl rings the doorbell of the gentleman's house to apply for a domestic job, the foot in the beautiful high heels stepping up the high staircase is generally regarded as the heroine's.When some Weibo accounts interpreted this film, they believed that the male protagonist killed a woman to make a doll in this script, which had a symbolic meaning, representing the persecution of women by the traditional patriarchal class. The so-called killing a man and making a doll meant strangling women’s independence Thinking, turning a living person into a doll at his mercy, and the heroine finally indulged in jewelry and inherited the doll represents the transformed woman willing to give up her independent personality and become a new perpetrator.

Regardless of whether this interpretation is correct or not, at least it illustrates one point, that is, after more than 30 years, the film "Small Building Ghost" suddenly became popular again!

Although people now praise this film, "Small Building Ghost" did not receive much attention when it was released, perhaps because there were several other films at the same time. In terms of the cast and the depth of the script, it was not as good as another film with a very similar name at that time, "Small Buildings and Shadows", so that it was eventually abandoned by the audience in obscurity.However, in recent years, some supernatural accounts or horror film inventory accounts that appeared on the Internet repeatedly mentioned this film when they took stock of domestic horror films. Because I don’t know who found a still photo of this movie in an old movie monthly magazine, and there is something strange about that still photo.

The capable person program team got a remake of the still photo, which was a photo of the heroine in the play walking in the small building with a candle in the middle of the night.In the photo, the beautiful heroine full of the style of that era opened her big almond eyes and looked around in horror.She is alone in the attic of the small building, behind a narrow window, occupying most of the space in the picture is a large number of puppets stored in the small building.It was in that photo that someone found a strange face reflected on the seemingly ordinary window.

The photos were only circulated on the Internet at the beginning. Netizens had various opinions after watching them. Some thought that the faces of the staff members who participated in the shooting were reflected by the reflection of the window glass. Some thought it was purely an optical illusion. It might be the reflection of a puppet, while others insist it must be a ghost.If the whole thing ends here, this may be a more controversial photo, but the ending of the main creators of "Small Building Ghost" is unavoidable.

Through investigations, it was discovered that Qi Qiaoli, the actress who played the heroine of "Small Building", had been unable to become famous for a long time, was addicted to alcohol, and had a disagreement with her husband after marriage. As a result, she committed suicide two years after the filming of "Small Building"; The hero, the gentleman, was burned to death in an accident when he was middle-aged; the director of the film died of a serious illness when he was in his early forties, and the screenwriter went crazy early due to some kind of stimulation, and was locked up. Into a mental hospital.

These things are not uncommon when viewed separately. Unrecognized talents and family disharmony make people in pain commit suicide; it is not uncommon to see fires or even explosions in traffic accidents; illness is something that people cannot control, especially directors who often have heavy workloads; As for screenwriters, most of the creative people are sensitive and introverted, so it’s not too strange to accidentally go crazy; but when everything is concentrated on the main creators of a film, this coincidence is not so funny up.Especially when someone zoomed in on the photo, people could clearly see a woman's face reflected on the window glass of the still photo, and that face belonged to the heroine.The hostess was facing the window with her back, even if the glass reflected light, she should only be able to see the back of her head, but in that photo, the hostess had a pale face, with the corners of her lips curled up and smiling strangely, like a demon , a demon who had already anticipated the future showed a complacent smile at the prey that would sooner or later belong to him.

Because this photo reproduces the relationship between Jianghu and Jianghu, many supernatural lovers are eager to try and find out. The filming location of "Small Building Ghost" suddenly attracted countless uninvited guests. At one stage, there were posts like "Surprise! Xiaolou Quest..." all over the Internet, and all of them claimed to have encountered strange events.The ability person program group obviously has insight into the trend, and arranged the puzzles of the second episode of the program here, but because of the general outline of the ability person program, the content of the puzzle in this issue is called "Analysis of Xiaolou'ghost" from the core perspective of materialism The characteristics of contemporary rumor spreading reflected in the shadow phenomenon".

When Liang Zhou saw this title, he felt a surge of respect for the creators of this program from inside to outside!It's not easy, it's really not easy. It definitely takes a little skill for a supernatural program to be so serious and nonsense.Right now, the program team is still making preparations, so the capable users are still waiting.I don’t know if it’s because this episode is a knockout match, and the eight capable people will eliminate one on the spot after passing this episode, so the atmosphere on the scene is a little tense, which is completely different from the previous episode’s peaceful atmosphere. A look.

Liang Zhou happened to see Xiao Beini getting off the car, wondering if what happened last time would affect him, so he greeted him: "Xiao Xiao..." After saying these two words, he realized that Well, he wasn't the only one in Xiao Beini's car, there was also Feng Xu behind him.

The first issue of "Battle of the Abilities" gained the expected popularity and word-of-mouth after the careful operation in the early stage and the wonderful performance of the guests in the current issue. Yinghua's image began to show signs of going uphill. However, no one expected that it was The lunatic became popular earlier than him.As the only guest among the eight capable people who relied on "science and technology" to solve puzzles, the program team appropriately gave the lunatic a lot of shots in order to meet the needs of the audit. This is one of the reasons, but the most fundamental reason why the lunatic became popular in advance The reason is that some paparazzi took photos of him and Beini Xiao privately dating!

When Liang Zhou saw the scandal of a lunatic broke out in an unknown studio, he felt so delicate, especially when the photo was accompanied by a live photo of him and Yinghua who were captured during the recording of the program. , the headline is "Paparazzi also have spring", with a Doge face of a husky next to it.

Liang Zhou: "..."

Liang Zhou really can't do his paparazzi work recently, and now he only needs to show his face on the street, and the effect will be so wonderful.Once he drove a small e-Donkey to secretly follow and photograph a female star, but within 200 meters of driving, a group of little girls rushed over from behind.

"Look, look, that's Liang Zhou, the one that Hu Jiaxiang confessed to in public!"

"Wow, the real person is so handsome and cute!"

"I don't believe that the devil really likes it...I'll go!! His skin is so white and tender, I really want to touch it!"

The most frightening thing is that with the sound of brakes, the female celebrity in front actually stopped the car and ran back to look for him, shouting: "Liang Zhou, Liang Zhou, I have been a little confused recently, can you help me contact Hu?" Daxian? Please!"

Liang Zhou escaped so much that he almost lost his shoes.

For a paparazzi to live like him, it is considered unprecedented.

Oh no, a lunatic is another meaning that has never been seen before or since.When he saw the madman's scandal, Liang Zhou was very worried that Xiao Huang would be unhappy, but he couldn't tell Xiao Huang that Xiao Beini was a big girl.Feng Xu has never appeared in Yumu studio since he disappeared to participate in the competition. Liang Zhou sometimes went back to the studio and saw Xiao Huang cleaning the table and sitting alone playing games, and he felt a little weird .But Xiao Huang was very calm: "No, he and Beini Xiao are not that kind of relationship." Xiao Huang said confidently, but even enlightened Liang Zhou, "He has reported to me, brother Xiaochuan, you don't have to help him." We are worried." Liang Zhou could only hope that he was just thinking too much.

Xiao Beini was startled by Liang Zhou's shout, she raised her head to look at Liang Zhou, Liang Zhou waved to him, but right after, the little fox looked away without saying a word, that way As if he had never known Liang Zhou, Feng Xu behind him waved at Liang Zhou: "Small boat!"

Liang Zhou nodded at the lunatic, feeling an indescribably strange feeling in his heart.
