Chapter 191 - The Movie Producer in the Bar
Chapter 191: The Movie Producer in the Bar
The atmosphere in the bar was very different from the outside.
Because of a video, the people outside were panicking, and it was starting to get chaotic.
But it was different inside. Many people did not even look at their phones and were having a great time.
Flanders found a seat and sat down. Looking at the young people around him, even his heart had unknowingly become lively.
However, in reality, he did not come here randomly.
After he killed the two people from the Mage Association at the entrance of Wentley Stadium, one of them had secretly left the area.
However, Flanders could find his location based on his fear value.
Therefore, he followed him all the way here.
Flanders found a random place to sit down.
Because of his appearance, several girls noticed him as soon as he entered. Some of them glanced at him from time to time, as if they were hesitating whether to come over and meet him.
But when one of them wanted to come over, he suddenly felt a chill. Her body trembled and no one dared to come over again.
This was not something that Flanders took the initiative to do.
It was just that his aura was a little cold.
After all, he had just created a crazed massacre not too long ago.
At this moment, Flanders was smiling as he stared at a man in his thirties who was drinking there.
That so-called fear value was derived from this person.
Was he also a member of the Mage Association?
Flanders thought to himself.
In the past few days, it seemed that more and more forces had appeared.
At the beginning, it was the Mage Association, then the Black Hawk Squad, then The Company… who knew how many new forces he would meet when he reached the Black Swamp.
Flanders was not in a hurry to make a move.
Instead, he watched for a while. He was not in a hurry. After all, this person was destined to not be able to escape.
“Can I sit here?”
All of a sudden, a seductive voice sounded.
The same voice was accompanied by a pungent smell of alcohol.
Flanders raised his head in surprise and saw a oval-faced woman wearing casual clothes and light makeup standing beside him.
“Sure.”
Flanders smiled.
The woman sat beside Flanders and leaned against the sofa, drinking alone.
…
The woman’s name was Joanna.
She was a film director. More specifically, she was a horror film producer.
Because she liked horror.
However, all the horror films in the past two years had poor results.
It was not that the market was not good.
It was that no one could make that kind of feeling. It was not that scary.
Including herself, almost all the recent films had crashed.
Especially the latest film.
She has almost invested most of her assets in this film. It can be said that she has poured her heart and soul into this film, so she is full of expectations for the results of this film.
After making the film, she also invited her friends to dinner.
After telling her friends about the plot of this film, her friends also think that this film is good, and they thought the response from the public would be good.
It could be said that she was looking forward to it.
After a long wait.
Today, the results for the first day were out.
However, the results were not as explosive as she had expected. On the contrary, the results were ridiculously bad!
Moreover, it was bad in all sorts of ways.
The huge psychological gap almost made her unable to bear it. Even after staying in the room for a long time, she still felt uncomfortable. She felt very depressed, so she came to this bar to relax.
“Hey, what’s your name?”
The smell of alcohol wafted into her nose, and the woman spoke.
Flanders smiled and said, “before asking someone’s name, shouldn’t you usually introduce yourself first?”
He had a smile on his face. The woman stared at Flanders and was momentarily mesmerized.
After a full ten seconds, she finally reacted.
“Oh, I forgot.”
“Wait–”
The woman drank a little too much, and her mouth reeked of alcohol as she spoke. “My… My name is Joanna! I’m a filmmaker… What about you, little guy?”
Little guy?
Flanders had a strange expression on his face.
“Just call me Flanders.”
Flanders laughed, then stared at Joanna and fell into deep thought.
Of course, it was not because of the way Joanna addressed him.
It was because of his profession!
Making Movies!
That would be the director, no doubt.
Now, Flanders was able to spread fear regardless of distance. One was a novel, and the other was through Youtube videos. Overall, it was already pretty good.
However, in the face of the current situation where skills were increasingly consuming fear points.
Flanders knew that this was not enough.
He needed to increase the number of ways.
In his previous thoughts, besides novels and short videos, movies, comics, and anime were all channels that he wanted to explore in the future.
It was just that he had been very busy these days, so he did not have much time to do these things.
So he could only stand by.
But it seemed that a good opportunity had appeared in front of him.
Flanders looked at Joanna, and his heart gradually became active.
Perhaps, he could ask this woman to help him with matters related to movies.
Thinking of this, Flanders took the initiative to start a topic. “Lady Joanna, are you alone? Why do you drink so much?”
“Shh.”
“Don’t call me lady. It’s better to call me Miss Joanna.”
The woman in front of him, who was drunk until she was red in the face, then took a deep breath of alcohol at Flanders. After a long pause, she said, “little Guy, why don’t you guess?”
Hah…
Flanders could not help but laugh.
Ever since he came to this world, no one had dared to talk to him like this for a long time.
However, it seemed to be quite interesting.
“Let me guess…”
Flanders thought carefully and then smiled.
“You came alone, and because the new movie did not meet your expectations, you drank so much?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Flanders saw the expression of the woman in front of him freeze.
It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
Joanna’s small mouth opened slightly, and her face was full of surprise. “The little guy is actually so smart. How did he guess it?”
Flanders did not say anything.
He just looked at the woman with a smile.
At this time, Joanna’s drunkenness had disappeared a little, and at this time, she also saw the face of the man in front of her clearly, and she was a little surprised.
“Ahem.”
“Forget it if you don’t say it.”
“Then… I’ll give you a reward.”
Joanna coughed a few times and then leaned her small mouth towards him despite the smell of alcohol.
Feeling the warmth and moisture on his face, Flanders’expression instantly became strange.
“Don’t look at me like that.”
Joanna’s face was slightly red. “Who asked you to be born looking like this, exactly my type?”
Flanders’s expression became even more strange.
Just as he was about to speak, his heart suddenly moved and he looked to the other side.
The man he had his eyes on actually put down his wine glass and was about to leave.
“I’m sorry.”
Flanders immediately stood up with a smile on his face. “I have to go out for a while.”
“Hey!”
“Little guy, you’re leaving just like that?”
Joanna picked up her wine glass and chased after him with some dissatisfaction.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Flanders smiled.
Joanna was reluctant to let him leave, so how could he bear to let Joanna leave?
In the future, he still needed Joanna to help him film movies.
Thinking about it, Flanders casually threw a scarecrow on Joanna to prevent her from running away.
