Chapter 3678 Evil Force (6)
Chapter 3678 Evil Power (XVI)
The horror-thriller pseudo-documentary "The Unforgettable" broke the box office record for pseudo-documentaries in the past decade in its first week online, and even became the most popular movie of the week, even surpassing the sequels of two popular movies directed by well-known film directors. Considering that the niche film field of pseudo-documentary itself has a small audience, this can be called a box office miracle.
Audiences have many questions about this pseudo-documentary that suddenly became popular, especially the behind-the-scenes footage of the director. However, the mysterious director has not yet revealed his true identity, but most film critics speculate that the director should be a well-known director in the industry, perhaps Daniel Merrick, who once directed "The Blair Witch Project," or Renny Harlin, the director of "The Dyatlov Incident." However, both parties have denied it.
Some people also speculated that this was the transitional work of the great director James Wan, but James Wan did not come out to express his opinion, which made this speculation rampant. Most people are more concerned about the behind-the-scenes footage between the actors, especially the main actors. Their wonderful performances won the recognition of most people, and the audience wanted to know their mental journey during the filming.
"It was a wonderful experience for me." Danny sat in the studio, and he looked much better than before. He looked stronger, ruddy, and full of energy. He no longer looked like a down-and-out man who needed help, but rather a man who was quite happy. He already had good looks, and now he looked even more handsome.
"I think you guys already know this." Danny covered his mouth and said, "I'm not a professional actor, and neither is my brother. He used to be a stunt motorcyclist, and I was supported by him. Later, he worked part-time as a food delivery man. Our financial situation has never been very good. When the director approached us, he didn't tell us that he wanted to make a mock documentary."
"You are not aware of this?!" the host asked in surprise.
"No, no, no, we knew we were acting, but we didn't know it had already started." Danny shook his head and said, "The director told us that we were going to star in the second part of Ilvermorny."
"Hey, wait a minute," the host said, extending a hand. "The director who found you was Chris?"
“No, not really. But he is also one of the creators behind Ilvermorny. He knows Director Chris, and we even had a video call with Director Chris. We all thought we were going to play the professor in that magic school.”
"Oh my god." The host exclaimed, "So what was the reason they tricked you into going to a nursing home?"
"It's an exorcism," Danny said. "They told us there would be a simple actor training before the official filming began, and then took us to a filming base in the suburbs of New York. It turned out that the sanatorium next door was haunted, and we couldn't rest in peace. We had to go over there to deal with it because we were worried about hurting ordinary people."
"You mean you can really exorcise demons?"
"So they didn't tell you?" Danny said in surprise, "Just like the wizards in Ilvermorny are real, Ghost Rider also exists. Johnny, Carter, and I are all real Ghost Riders."
"God!" The host exclaimed, waved his hands in the air, and then said, "Then you can... you can..."
With a whoosh, Danny turned into a flaming skull. The host was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair, but the flames disappeared in an instant.
"Oh my God, I swear this is definitely not a special effect." The host said to the camera, "I have worked in this studio for ten years, and we don't have such technology. Did you just see it? He can really turn into the Ghost Rider! Oh my God, this is amazing!"
But he quickly showed his good professionalism and said, "So you can really help others exorcise demons? And judge sinners?"
"Yes." Danny said, "But don't worry, the sinners in the eyes of Ghost Rider are not those who commit crimes, but those who are evil and collude with the devil. I will not arrest and judge you for spitting or littering."
"What about robbery? What about murder?"
Danny shook his head and said, "We don't judge people based on their crimes in the real world. Our eyes can observe their souls. Only when their souls are diseased can we judge them with fire. If it's just murder, we can't do that. After all, there are many police officers who kill criminals. Are they also guilty?"
"That is to say, this is just a mystical ability."
"That's right. You have to have done enough evil to make your soul sick before we can see it. And even if we can see it, we may not be able to judge you. We usually only use this ability to deal with demons or their clones."
"How amazing." The host exclaimed, "So you expelled Mephisto from the sanatorium without knowing there were cameras?"
"That's right. You may not believe it, but the guy who plays Mephisto was also hired by the director team."
"Wait, I'm confused." The host said, "Isn't Mephisto played by Dr. Rodriguez?"
"Of course not. In other words, the normal version of Dr. Rodriguez that you saw was played by Dr. Rodriguez, while the demonic version and the one that disappeared at the end were not."
"Who played that?"
"Mephisto."
"what?"
"The actor who plays the Mephisto version of the doctor is Mephisto. I think the audience who have watched the movie "Ilvermorny" should have some understanding of wizards. The wizards' magic power comes from the contract they make with the devil, and Mephisto is one of the devils. In this movie, he turned into Dr. Rodriguez and played the role."
"Oh my god." The host was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He said, "You mean the director found a real devil to play the devil?! How did he do it?!"
"It's not that difficult, actually." Danny explained. "After watching Ilvermorny, many viewers have learned about the existence of Kamar-Taj and the Global Temple. But what you don't know is that the Supreme Sorcerer's office in New York is called the Holy of Holies, which actually has many employees who are responsible for communicating with the Demons. They are responsible for coordinating all matters related to the Earth and the Demons, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Earth."
"So the contracts between mages and demons are not one-on-one?"
"Of course we can formally sign a contract, but before signing it, we always have to study the various clauses and draft a contract. After signing the contract, there will also be a lot of minor work to do. Sometimes the contractor is busy, and the demon gods have to go to the Holy of Holies to coordinate the contractors of other demon gods to do the work."
"Oh my god, that doesn't sound dreamy at all." The host waved his hand and said, "Stop talking. Don't break my fantasy about magic anymore."
Danny shrugged and said, "It's just the reality. There's always a lot of boring and annoying work to do behind the scenes. I also hope that everyone can appreciate the dedication and hard work of the people behind the scenes. Although the mages are cool, ordinary people are equally worthy of respect."
"Let's talk about the movie." The host said, "You contacted Mephisto through the Sanctum Sanctorum and got him to agree to star in it?"
Danny nodded. The host then asked, "But why would he agree to play a role in which he failed and was expelled?"
Danny smiled and said, "Devils are like that. If you ask a high enough price, they will even sell their souls and reputations. The Sanctum Sanctorum paid him for the film, so he will naturally do his best to perform in order to get paid."
"What about the murders that appear in the documentary?"
"Of course it was a camera trick." Danny shook his head and said, "There was only one dead body in the film, and it was a prop created by the director. The rest of the news was made up by splicing the footage together. I guarantee that no one was injured during the filming of the show."
"Including Mephisto?"
"Even if the nail is real, Mephisto will not be hurt by him. His strength is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. There are also high and low demons. Mephisto is the strongest among them. He owns an entire dimension and is known as the King of Hell..."
"Wait!" the host interrupted again, saying, "The King of Hell? Doesn't Hell belong to Satan?"
"No, Mephisto is the Lord of the Hell Dimension. No matter how much you dislike him, this is the fact. And this dimension is just called Hell. In fact, humans will not go to the Hell Dimension after death unless you have reached a contract with the Lord of the dimension."
"Where does that person go after he dies?"
"I can't really explain this, after all, I'm not dead yet." Danny smiled again and said, "If I die one day, maybe I will send you a dream and tell you what the world after death is like."
The two chatted for a while. When the commercials came on, they stood up from their seats and walked backstage together. Danny reached out and adjusted the microphone on his collar. When he entered the dimly lit corridor, a deep red flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, Danny. Your condition is not serious and does not require medical intervention. As I said, your main problem is still in your communication with the Spirit of Vengeance. You'd better go to the New York Temple to study for a while, especially learn meditation. Don't try your own way anymore..."
In the office of Arkham Sanatorium, Schiller said to Danny who was sitting opposite him: "Making a movie to improve your living conditions is only incidental. The most important thing is to stimulate your potential in an emergency situation and let you successfully cooperate with the Spirit of Vengeance once."
"Yes, I know. Thank you, doctor," Danny said. "If it weren't for the movie you made that made me famous, I might still be hiding in a cramped rented house, relying on my brother for support. But is it really okay to let Mephisto be interviewed by me? Will he say something nonsense?"
"Don't worry, the devil understands media and hot topics better than you do. And he is more eloquent than you. If you were facing so many cameras in the past, you might be speechless, and this would not help your condition. As your psychologist, I do not recommend that you over-expose yourself to the public."
"That's right." Danny nodded a little frustratedly. "If a reporter interviewed me, I probably wouldn't be able to say anything. The devil is naturally gifted at lying."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Schiller sorted out the documents in his hand and said, "Come in!"
Several uniformed staff members came in. The leader nodded to Schiller and said, "Doctor, now the only thing left to move is your office. If it's convenient for you, can you let us move the furniture first?"
"No problem, our conversation is over and you can get to work."
