"So necessary reorganization and reconstruction are definitely needed. As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If the company structure and personnel cannot make the best use of their talents, then even if there are good film projects, it will be difficult to achieve results. So..." Rowan looked to the side, and Goffman immediately handed over a few documents.
Sean and Henry took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a department design plan and appointment letter for a new company.
The newly formed company was renamed "Stark Pictures". The three regular departments of every company, finance, personnel and legal, were merged into the Shared Resources Department, and the department managers were selected by the original company and recommended by Wells Fargo Bank.
"Goffman will be our legal advisor." Rowan pointed at Goffman beside him and said, Sean and Henry nodded to him quickly.
The production and distribution departments, which are truly related to the survival of the film company, are still managed by Henry and Sean, which made them secretly relieved.
"Well, let's take a look at this new movie first." Rowan took out a recorded videotape from his pocket, on which was written the word "Paranormal Activity" in crooked English with a marker.
"Boss, what is this?" Henry was a little confused.
"Well, let's talk while we walk. Come over here, Sean and Henry." Rowan didn't explain much, but took Sean and Henry to a small screening room used by company executives for previews and meetings, while Goffman and others left the office to deal with other matters.
"This is a movie my friend made," Rowan suddenly said, holding up the tape in his hand.
"Movie?" Henry asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's a Pseudo Documentry that I want to release by next month with a specific marketing plan" Rowan said
"Pseudo Documentry? Boss is it to test our distribution capabilities! I don't think many theaters will show this type of movie" Sean stated
"It's not like that well, first you two watch the movie than we will talk about the distribution and marketing plan" Rowan said as Henry and Sean walked into the screening room, which was a small screening room in the company specially used for reviewing films. Rowan turned on the VCR and turned off the lights in the conference room.
Before they could think about it, the screen lit up immediately, and a large TV was playing a video. Then the camera began to shake, and it was obvious that the camera was held in someone's hand. In the next shot, a young man was holding a small DV camera in front of a mirror and adjusting the bracket.
The next few quick shots were all of the young man filming and doing things around the house with a DV camera. Only then did Sean and Henry realize that these were just the pictures taken by the young man while he was fiddling with his newly bought DV camera, just like some daily life videos taken by ordinary people, such as birthday parties and children's football games.
The two of them looked at each other strangely, but didn't say much. At this time, the man hummed a song and received a call, "Hi, Baby, what's wrong?"
Then in the next shot, the man walked to the door with a DV camera, and a white convertible car was driving in. "Hey, Baby, look at this, da da." The man shook the DV camera in his hand to show off, and the camera immediately shook rapidly, Sean and Henry felt dizzy, they smiled bitterly and gritted their teeth and continued to watch.
At this time, a head popped out of the stopped car. It was a blonde-haired girl. She took off her big sunglasses and said to the man with a smile: "Hey, you are not." With a reproachful expression, she said in a dissatisfied tone: "We have talked about it. We have to save money after moving, dear."
The man laughed heartily and said, "But don't you feel it's very heartwarming?" Then Sean and Henry learned from the conversation between the two that they were a young couple who had just moved to Pasadeno. The man's name was Mika, and he was a freelance stock investor, while his girlfriend Katie, who had red hair, blue eyes, and a hot body, was a "small entrepreneur" who ran a small handicraft business on the Internet.
(Wow, this girlfriend has a really beautiful.) Sean made eye contact with Henry with excitement, but Henry shrugged and said nothing.
Although her looks were great her figure was only above average, Could she have worked at Hooters (known as the adult version of McDonald's in the United States, selling sexy and cool waitresses)? Sean couldn't help but think of this with a lewd thought.
But as the video progressed, Sean and Henry talked less and less. At the beginning, Mika and Katie's small argument about hiring a psychic made the two of them have some strange guesses, but seeing Rowan's serious expression, they didn't ask any more questions.
But soon the so-called psychic really arrived, and looking at the well-dressed elderly gentleman, Sean felt that anyone could play tricks on others. But before he could think about it, the scene at night became more and more weird. When the young couple was sleeping soundly in bed, the light suddenly turned on across the corridor facing the DV camera.
Sean and Henry's breath was held: No, no, there shouldn't be anyone else in the house! Then the light in the corridor was suddenly turned off with a "click".
Get up, get up!!
Sean and Henry shouted to Katie and Mika who were sleeping soundly in bed, but it was obvious that the people in the video could not hear them. At this time, the DV machine made a slight electrical noise, which became louder and louder. Their hearts tightened, and then Katie suddenly sat up.
Sean and Henry were startled, and Katie's next action was even more strange. She stood beside the bed, staring at Mika who was sleeping soundly without saying a word.
Dream, sleepwalking?
Although Sean and Henry thought so, the vague hints just now made them shudder. Could it be, could it be that this is one of those so-called supernatural cases! ?
As soon as this thought came to their mind, the factor of fear was immediately buried in their subconscious.
Although the United States is the country with the most sound legal system, the strongest economy, and the most advanced technology in the world, its enthusiasm for supernatural events has never diminished.
Of course, for most people, the most common way to pass the time is to go to the cinema to watch a horror movie. If that is not enough, you can also gather friends and go to places like haunted houses in amusement parks to experience the threat of ghosts and monsters in person.
But the supernatural case videos leaked from the police are another matter.
In fact, the only officially recognized paranormal event in the United States is that in the early 19th century, in a small town called Adams, Tennessee, a family named Bell was disturbed by various strange events, such as knocking on the door, scratching noises on the wall, and a little girl being hung by an invisible force.
When General Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, heard about this, he went straight to exorcise the demon, but was so scared that he fled the town that night. He also left a famous saying: "I would rather fight an entire British fleet than spend a night at Bell's house."
The events in the video seemed to be exactly the same as these "historical legends". Thinking of this, Sean and Henry suddenly felt a trace of cold sweat on their palms.
As the supernatural events in the video became more and more rampant, Mika and Katie in the screen became more and more haggard, while Sean and Henry in the conference room felt their hearts growing colder and colder. They didn't know if it was because the air conditioner was turned on too high or because of fear, but they just felt their hands and feet a little cold.
Soon the video came to the last high slot, because Katie was unwilling to leave, Mika had to stay with her to wait for the psychic to arrive. After Katie and Mika screamed and shrieked on the first floor outside the screen, the silent silence and the slight sound of electricity made Sean and Henry look at the dark bedroom door facing the camera with fear and expectation.
Suddenly, a man was thrown in and knocked over the DV camera with a "bang". The two men immediately screamed "Ah" in a low voice.
Finally, Katie staggered in and fell down. Her expressionless face instantly turned into a grimace and she slammed into the screen, "Ahhhhhh——!!!" Sean and Henry screamed at the same time.
The screen ends.
"Oh, my God, this is..."
