My palms were all sweaty, and my heart was thumping in the seat in front of me. After more than a month of hard work and experiencing many dangers, whether this movie, which was finally launched, would be successful or not, was about to be revealed tonight.


    I was sitting in the middle of the third row, sitting in a row with Old Man Ma and others. They nestled in the soft and comfortable seats, staring at the screen with a leisurely expression.


    The first thing that appeared on the screen was the studio logo. When the red dragon coiled and roared, the expressions of these people were various. Old Man Ma and Fox were very interested in such an opening title. Malskrov even leaned over to my ear and said that he must make a magnificent opening title when he went back. Although Remer''s face still maintained his usual calm expression, he also nodded frequently. The Warner brothers, however, looked disdainful. The two of them whispered to each other and laughed.


    In the first scene, when the flags of the North and the South appeared in the movie, Old Man Ma and Remer sat up straight. Especially Remer, who held his hands tightly and grabbed the handle on the seat, staring at the screen without blinking.


    Old Man Ma himself liked war movies very much. He was recognized as a tough guy in Hollywood. He had always been extremely fascinated by the tumbling situation in the war. His two hands were clasped together, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Even his big - eyed were slightly squinted, as if he were a rich lady shopping in a mall and found a mink coat that interested her.


    As for why Remer was like this, I think it might be related to his family. His grandfather died in the Civil War. Moreover, he was killed by his former comrades - in - arms after surrendering to the Northern Army as a general of the Southern Army. Therefore, he seemed to have a great affection for George Bush.


    The Warner brothers and Fox seemed to be uninterested. Sam and Fox pointed at a woman in the front row and whispered and laughed with a lewd expression. Several bosses of small companies, such as Bodewin, Olcott and Chani Bara, were fawning on the giants beside them while occasionally glancing at the screen when they were free. They were really dividing their attention.


    The camera on the screen switched rapidly. Two troops collided head - on. Cannons exploded beside them. Bullets shot into the soldiers'' bodies. Heads were cut off. Wounds, blood, mouths crying out in agony, and desperate eyes. All the shots showed the cruelty of war and the insignificance of life.


    Old Man Ma couldn''t sit still anymore. He propped himself on the handle with both arms, leaned forward, left his buttocks off the seat, stretched his neck to look forward. Because of excitement, the blood vessels on his neck were clearly visible. And Remer, who was known for being calm, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth at this moment. His whole body was tense, just like a gradually tightened violin string.


    The Warner brothers and Fox finally turned their eyes from the beautiful woman in the front row to the movie. Sam looked at the heads and blood on the camera and even licked his lips enjoyably. As for Bodewin, Olcott and Chani Bara, they didn''t care about chatting with Fox and others anymore. They sat upright on their seats, just like well - behaved students in a classroom.


    After screaming a few times, Heidi covered her eyes in fear and buried her head in Remer''s arms. Lenny pretended to be shocked, lowered her head to look at her toes, and pulled the strap of her bag hard.


    Such shots were indeed a bit cruel for such young ladies.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    As the plot developed further, Dietrich chatted up Bush in the theater, and the two of them went out to have dinner, exchanging amorous glances.


    Old Man Ma and Remer gradually calmed down a little. The Warner brothers saw Dietrich and stared at her with a dazed look, their tongues stiff, their souls out of their bodies, and drooling.


    "Andre, I didn''t expect that you had such a beautiful girl under your command. Just transfer her to our company. Don''t worry. I will definitely give you a generous transfer fee. How about it? Consider it?" Sam asked me eagerly.


    Trying to poach my employee?! Not a chance.


    I smiled and pointed to the screen: "Mr. Warner, the movie isn''t over yet."


    Seeing me like this, Sam knew that the transfer was unlikely, and a disappointed look appeared on his face. He sighed and continued to focus his attention on the movie.


    The next shot made everyone present fidgety.


    Bush and Dietrich entered the room. He barbarously tore off Dietrich''s clothes, and the two of them entangled on the bed. Under the dim light, Dietrich''s fat and white body could be vaguely seen.


    The people in the cinema had various expressions and postures.


    Old Man Ma opened his mouth wide and looked at me in astonishment, with a short - circuited mind. Fox''s old face was red. He coughed pretentiously a few times, reached out his hand to cover Heidi''s eyes so that Heidi couldn''t see such a scene, while Heidi peeked at it from between his father''s fingers constantly and breathed quickly.


    The Warner brothers almost jumped up from their seats. Sam stepped on the ground with one foot and hooked the chair with the other. He wished he could run to the screen. Jack swallowed his saliva violently, pulled at the tight collar around his neck hard, his mouth was dry, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He was as excited as an African baboon that had eaten aphrodisiac.


    On the one hand, Bodewin, Olcott and the others, as men, were fascinated by such shots. On the other hand, because there were quite a few women sitting beside them, in order to maintain their gentlemanly image, they couldn''t watch too much, so they were in an awkward situation.


    I glanced at Lenny. The young lady bit her lips tightly. Although her gaze remained on the screen, her eyes were also drifting. She even gave me a fierce glance halfway.


    The surrounding audience was in a panic. The screams of women and the cheers of men kept coming.


    I shrugged. Seeing these people being stimulated like this, I felt a great sense of achievement.


    As the plot developed, the people around me had completely integrated themselves with the characters on the screen. Although there were continuous nude shots, the previous shyness had gradually disappeared. Fox put down the hand covering Heidi''s eyes. The old man looked at Bush, who cried loudly after whipping Dietrich, and his eyes were moist. Heidi and Heidi held handkerchiefs sprayed with perfume in their hands. They wiped their tears once in a while and occasionally scolded dead men.


    Old Man Ma supported his face with both hands and bent down. As a Western tough guy, of course, he couldn''t cry in public. But I saw that he occasionally flicked the tears at the corners of his eyes with his little finger quickly.


    The Warner brothers were as stiff as two wooden posts, standing tall on the seats. Their mouths were still open, but the original daze and lewdness in their eyes had completely disappeared.


    When Dietrich took out a knife in the movie and wanted to stab Bush while he was asleep, Heidi was so nervous that she whispered, "Don''t! Don''t!" Even Lenny was restless. Looking at the cold - bladed knife held high by Dietrich, she was about to cry.


    And when Bush led his troops to go on an expedition and was ambushed because of Hankton''s betrayal, all his troops were wiped out. He was injured and crawling hard on the battlefield. Fox was already in tears. Even Old Man Ma, who always had a faint smile on his face, kept sniffing and had tears in his eyes.


    Other people, Fox kept taking handkerchiefs out of his pockets. Sam and Jack cursed in a low voice again and again: "Damn Southerners!" Although Chani Bara was a native Southerner, he didn''t make any retort when he heard what Sam said.


    There were sobs in the theater. Because of nervousness and because I couldn''t guess whether the audience really liked this movie or not, I felt as if I were on a ship sailing in the sea. A storm was about to come. The sky was low, and I felt suffocated.


    The movie continued, and the light beam projected by the projector kept flashing.


    One wave of heat after another hit me. I felt that I was about to be crushed.


    I stood up, walked through the seats of Old Man Ma and others, and walked to the steps outside the cinema. If I stayed in there any longer, even for one minute, I was afraid that my heart would collapse under the tension that was almost suffocating.
