I have to say that there are many smart people in Hollywood!
Barry Meyer of Warner Bros. deeply feels that there is something wrong with "the witch Blair"!
"It's weird!"
Barry Meyer is a wise man and a firm activist!
As soon as I noticed something was wrong, I immediately set out the next day to go to the cinema where I could watch "the witch Blair".
At the moment, there is a theater named "Hassen" under ximanke, one of the three major cinemas, which is about to show the film "the witch Blair".
"Mr. Mayer, here's your coke, well, a large one!" Miss daisy, the Secretary, also sat down to see the film.
"Thank you
In Hollywood, it is well known that Barry Meyer likes to drink a coke when he is watching movies.
Miss daisy glanced around and frowned: "there are not many people watching" the witch Blair ". There are only 17 people in this scene. So, this inferior film without star actors, famous directors and special effects is not good either?"
As for the so-called "real cases" and "top secret files" in the film, Miss Daisy, as an insider, doesn't believe a word!
"Don't jump to conclusions, daisy."
Barry Meyer solemnly said: "although the mainstream media's evaluation of Zucker ward is that he is a" lucky "guy, we Warner have played him no less than twice, and we have not taken advantage of him. You should know that he is not a person who can be defined simply by" lucky ". On the contrary, he is extremely cunning!"
"Oh?"
Miss daisy nodded blankly.
Soon, the movie began to play.
At the beginning of the film, there was no so-called actor list and producer list as in previous films!
This point attracted the attention of Barry Meyer.
He frowned.
Miss Daisy was so happy at that time that she said with a smile, "Mr. Mayer, do you think Wald pictures is really going to make this DV movie a so-called" real case "
"Well!"
Barry Meyer nodded and said, "don't you think this kind of publicity works well? We are insiders and will not be deceived, but most movie audiences will believe that this is a "real case."
Yes, he guessed right!
That's what Wald pictures is planning!
We don't want to deceive everyone, as long as we can deceive some people, that's enough.
Is it a joke that three people become tigers?!
The film begins
"Josh, Mike and heather, two men and a woman, are all students of the film academy. They come to the small town of bridgesville, Maryland, with handheld DV video equipment to investigate the local legends about witches and prepare to make a documentary."
"To find the witch, they went deep into the woods!"
"But... Who knows, they're missing!"
"A year later, their backpack was found. The tapes, HI-8 cameras and 16mm cameras in it clearly recorded their last journey."
Movie voice over, resounding in the cinema~
The extremely insipid tone was like asking "good morning" and "good afternoon", but with the propaganda keynote of "real cases" and "top secret files", the people in the cinema suddenly felt chilly and numb!
Soon, Josh, Mike and heather, the three main actors, appeared on the screen.
At the beginning, the three interviewed the local people in buzizville and asked them about the legend of witches.
The local residents (extras) immediately told the stories they knew in a vivid, frightened or shocked way
Then they went deep into the woods, but the map was gone;
They were trapped in the woods;
One of his companions, Josh, suddenly disappeared;
Heather found pieces of Josh's clothes, as well as human teeth and hair;
.......
âhelpï¼â
âhelpï¼ helpï¼ helpï¼â
The heroine Heather ran to the extreme, facing the DV camera, her eyes filled with tears, clearly in front of all the film audience!
Two men, Josh and Mike, are also running away one after another!
"We're done!"
"Witch! There are witches. We're dead. We can't escape! "
Unlike previous Hollywood films, "the witch Blair" is known as the originator of the "pseudo documentary". It is shot by DV camera, and the whole shaking picture makes you experience the scene.
Even if the shaking camera pictures make you dazzled and headache more than once, but the screams of panic repeatedly remind you that it's not a movie, it's a real missing case!
"Is that true?"
"The top secret files of the police station, it turns out that witches really do harm to people!"
It's hard for movie audiences to hide their excitement and fear.
Of course, in the original time and space, there is a very conspicuous scene of gang crossing in the picture of the witch Blair.
When the three people lost their way in the woods, they could see the road through the gap between the trees
Such an obvious scene, now that Zhuke takes over, naturally does not allow it to continue to exist.
"Mr. Mayer, what the hell is going on?"
After watching the movie, Miss Daisy looked at her boss in confusion.
"What do you mean, what's going on?"
There was a hint of clarity on Barry Meyer's face.
Miss daisy took a deep breath and said, "before, I firmly believed that witches were false, and this film is not a" real case "or" top secret file ". But after watching the film, I felt that it was not like a film, just like a real missing person."
She was confused.
Her heart was full of doubts.
Barry Meyer said with a smile, "you're wrong!"
"Eh?" Miss Daisy was more puzzled.
"Daisy, I can now tell you responsibly that" the witch Blair "is a movie! Well, it's a man-made movie! As for what is missing, I will tell you from decades of Hollywood experience that it is a propaganda, a propaganda to win the box office. "
Barry Meyer whispered, "it doesn't matter if you don't understand now. If you look down, I think it won't be long before the Internet will be full of news about "the witch Blair."
In his words, Barry Meyer was light.
But in fact, his heart was as rough as the sea at the moment. He is an extremely intelligent person, through a little data and analysis, he roughly deduced the routine of Zhuke.
"This guy is so dirty!"
Of course, Zucker is not afraid that Barry Meyer knows his own propaganda routine!
Recently, Time Warner Group is discussing the merger with AOL. At this critical moment, they don't want to make trouble.
As for the small film company, Zhuke is not afraid!
In the face of Hollywood's big six, Wald film can't compete. But in the face of other film companies, who dares to stab and show their teeth?!
Hum!
I can't kill you!
On the second day of the film's release, 29 theaters grossed $29000.
Well, it's a full $5000 higher than the $24000 on the first day.
On the third day, the box office reached 33000 US dollars;
On the fourth day, the single day box office was as high as US $49000;
The increase of box office is extremely obvious.
Zhuke immediately issued instructions: "19 million dollars of publicity funds, can start the first batch of funds!"
The second watch is on.
