"The mysterious "Ninth District" has been revealed, and the aliens have been reduced to the poor of the earth!"

Since March, the propaganda about "District 9" has been constantly appearing in the media, reaching a peak in April.

"Reveal Area 51, the source of the filming creativity of "District 9"!"

"Shocked! The aliens in Area 51 live even more miserable than the prawns in District 9!"

"District 9" restores the truth of Area 51 and shocks the world!"

The Internet promotion advertorials concocted by the Internet Shock Department of Embassy Pictures are endless, attracting the attention of quite a few researchers in District 51.

In addition, large-scale viral marketing was once again offered by Embassy Pictures.

"District 9" adopts a large-scale viral marketing promotion strategy, and movie-related posters and posters overwhelmingly occupy designated advertising areas such as bus stops and buildings in major cities in North America, and these posters also leave a toll-free number, and the bottom says that you can call this phone number to report if you meet aliens, which makes people feel that this is not a movie, but a documentary about real social life.

Ahead of the third weekend of April, Embassy Pictures held a grand world premiere of "District 9" in Los Angeles.

Because of director Neil Blomkamp's relationship, James Cameron, who has been busy filming and producing "Avatar" in Wellington, New Zealand, also rushed back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere.

Coming back with James Cameron, there is also Jessica Alba, the heroine of "Avatar".

This Latino actress is also the heroine of "Thor", which will be released in the second half of the year.

According to the development trajectory of Marvel Comics, it is even very likely to become a female Thor in the future.

As for the invisible woman of "Fantastic Four", like Chris Evans, it has become a thing of the past.

The premiere was held at the Chiefstone Theater in the Hollywood area, and Ronan also came to the premiere and called Jessica Filton.

The liveliness of the premiere scene is far beyond imagination.

Influenced by the promotion of the embassy films, a large number of UFO and alien lovers came to the premiere, and these people held up various slogans to attract the attention of the public and media reporters.

"We need the truth!"

"Area 51 secrets must be revealed!"

Similar protest slogans are all too common, and in the eyes of many, the authorities in Washington are the epicenter of conspiracy.

It's actually pretty much the same.

In the eyes of these people, Area 51 hides a lot of secrets.

This so-called alien hideout is located in an area of Lincolnshire, southern Nevada, 130 kilometers northwest of downtown Las Vegas, where an air base is located, which is believed to be the place used by the United States to secretly develop and test new air force vehicles, and this place is also famous because many people believe that it is related to numerous UFO conspiracy theories.

Calls for secrecy are heard endlessly.

What's more, there are UFOs and alien lovers who are influenced by the propaganda of "District 9" and put up a jaw-dropping slogan: "Protect the rights and interests of aliens in the region, aliens also have human rights!"

"Aliens want to eat, too!"

This is indeed quite speechless, and it can only be said that some people have been fooled and lame by the white left in the West.

"How can the human rights of aliens be guaranteed?"

Walking down the red carpet, Jessica Alba asked James Cameron curiously, "Becoming an alien?"

This question reminded James Cameron of the filming of "Avatar", saying: "Put them on rockets and launch them to aliens to protect the rights and interests of aliens." ”

Ronan, as usual, did not walk the red carpet for the premiere and entered the Emirates Rock Theater early.

After James Cameron entered the theater VIP room, he immediately found Ronan: "You haven't been to Wellington for a long time, so reassuring me?"

Ronan casually joked: "Because I'm afraid that you will make me invest more." ”

These words made several people around laugh.

Jessica Alba leaned over to greet Ronan, her curious eyes circling around Jessica Felton.

Ronan also officially introduced Jessica Felton to James Cameron and Jessica Alba.

James Cameron shook hands with Jessica Felton and said seriously: "The lady who can charm Ronan must be very good." ”

Jessica Filton smiled: "Director Cameron, it's over." ”

Because they are both Latino mixed race and have the same name, Jessica Filton and Jessica Alba are quite close to each other, and the two women talk and laugh together.

Ronan asked about the progress of "Avatar": "I heard that filming is almost over. ”

"It's almost over. James Cameron's hair has turned a lot grayer: ""Avatar" has its peculiarity, it takes the method of filming and producing at the same time, but the shooting will still be completed much earlier than the special effects production, and it is expected that in two months, all the filming will be over, and the crew will fully transfer to post-production." ”

Ronan nodded slightly, facing James Cameron, a veteran procrastinator, he still reconfirmed: "Can it be done as planned tomorrow?"

James Cameron said solemnly: "At the end of April next year, it's the deadline, Ronan, I can assure you. ”

Ronan said: "About next month, someone from the embassy film industry will come over and discuss some publicity and distribution with the crew." ”

"Rest assured. James Cameron said: "There will be someone to meet them. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "I talked to Neil Blomkamp, and the promotion that Embassy Pictures did for 'District 9' was very successful, especially in terms of viral marketing. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "This is also due to Neil. When the filming plan for "District 9" was decided, we had this promotional idea, "District 9" is to tell the story of a place in our world dedicated to aliens, and he will make the audience think, is there really such a thing?"

James Cameron nodded slightly, some people can use viral marketing in the promotion of "Avatar".

Ronan's words continued: "So we wanted to make everything look like that, so I didn't want to give the audience the feeling that they were watching a movie poster, but when he saw the poster of "District 9" on the street, he would subconsciously feel that this was really a government poster about the alien residency policy, and in this way, the sense of substitution for the audience would be very strong." ”

James Cameron put it bluntly: "I feel that viral marketing can be used appropriately in Avatar. ”

"Actually, Embassy Pictures already has plans for this. Ronan knew that viral marketing must be used in moderation, and abuse would be counterproductive: "Of course, a heavyweight work like "Avatar" is more of an orthodox way of publicity, and viral marketing will only account for a small part, such as when we publish recruitment announcements in the media, claiming to call people to colonize the planet Pandora. ”

"Good idea. James Cameron said: "This should get a lot of attention. ”

Ronan said: "Wait for the embassy film industry to make a plan and let them pass it on to the crew first, your opinion is also very important." ”

James Cameron never knew what modesty was and immediately said, "I'll take a good look and give some advice." ”

On the other side, there was a rapport between two Latinos with the same name.

At least it seems.

"There was time for us to talk on the phone. Jessica Alba exchanged phone numbers with Jessica Felton: "I've been in Los Angeles for the most recent time. ”

Jessica Felton had something to say: "I might only have time every weekend. ”

Jessica Alba said: "No problem, just a phone call from you. ”

Jessica Felton still smiles, but with her mind, she can't help but think, after all, people can't be without connection.

Especially like her relationship with Ronan.

Jessica Felton didn't say much, but she knew that she needed to be more careful outside of work.

As for whether Jessica Alba and Ronan would have a relationship before, Jessica Filton didn't think much about it, she had already decided to look forward, and she wouldn't have thought about those things before.

If you have to think about what happened before, it is purely asking for trouble, asking for trouble.

Jessica Felton is a confident person, has faith in Ronan and has more confidence in herself.

Director Neil Blomkamp brought the main cast of the crew to greet Ronan, who shook hands with them one by one and praised them reluctantly.

In fact, including the actor, he doesn't know anyone among the actors in this crew.

As he walked into the main hall of the theater, Ronan said to Jessica Felton: "The film has a limited budget, and it uses unfamous actors, so that more money can be used for expensive special effects. Even so, the film's special effects are rough. ”

The level of special effects in "District 9" can only be said to be okay, and whoever wants to say that it is well-made is absolutely blind.

But the film is unique, on the basis of a certain theme of thinking, it also has excellent commercial entertainment elements.

Of course, the so-called thematic thinking is also a little touch-and-take, and something like this, once it appears too much in commercial films, it often means that the market for the film is going to end.

As for how exciting the film is, I can't talk about it, but the publicity is really good, using Area 51 as a gimmick, plus viral marketing, it has attracted the attention of a large number of audiences.

In addition, the shooting method of pseudo-documentaries appears on science fiction movies, which also gives the audience an inexplicable sense of freshness.

This kind of shooting and production method can give the audience a sense of empathy and realism, which achieves the purpose of impacting the audience's audio-visual, and at the same time effectively makes people ignore the roughness of the production of the film itself.

It is no exaggeration to say that this line of thinking has also had a shocking effect.

Director Neil Blomkamp's experience from South Africa also gives the film its soul, and perhaps the setting of Johannesburg can also make people think more.

South Africa, which is becoming more and more chaotic, also has a strange experience, evolving from a developed country in the last century to what it is now, leaving many people scratching their heads.
