Chapter 408: It's a bit stressful
The roar of the motor from far and near attracted a lot of attention, and a crystal sky blue Porsche 911 drove up like a speed, then slowly slowed down and finally stopped on the side of the road in front of the office building.
Ronan got out of the passenger seat and said to Anne Hathaway, who was driving, "Don't drive too fast. ”
Anne Hathaway waved at Ronan and said excitedly, "I see." ”
Ronan said goodbye, turned and walked towards the office building, and when he entered the gate, the Porsche 911 started again and drove towards the end of the street, leaving only a roar of motors.
Coming to the office, Ronan moved his hands and feet, this kind of typical supercar, the driver is cool, and the person who sits in the car suffers, compared to the official car, the comfort is much worse.
Connie brought in the brewed black tea at this time, and said to Ronan: "David Villa from Embassy Pictures just called, saying that important information has been sent to your mailbox, and I hope you can take a look at it as soon as possible." ”
Ronan nodded, "I see." ”
Opening the office computer and logging into the mailbox, Ronan saw the information sent by David Villa, downloaded it and read it carefully.
After reading it, he pressed the intercom: "Connie, do you have any other important trips today?"
Connie replied, "Go to Warner Studios for the crew of "Enemy of Love" ......"
Ronan said: "Push it to tomorrow, you and I will go to Embassy Pictures now." ”
Ten minutes later, Ronan and Connie came to Embassy Pictures and found David Villa directly.
"David. Ronan asked directly, "Is the information you sent true?"
"Yes, absolutely no problem. David Villa replied.
Ronan clasped his hands to his chest and said, "This world is really full of wonders. ”
David Villa said simply: "We were originally collecting about the disappearance of American teenagers and related follow-up developments, and we are also planning to set up a related rescue charity organization to better publicize and promote." ”
Ronan nodded slightly, Garcia had already made relevant reports to the head office, and he had agreed, and the use of charity for publicity was also one of the most commonly used and effective publicity and promotion methods in Hollywood.
David Villa's words continued: "We collected information on a number of cases of missing girls, and we got this information, which was incredible, and then we checked with the police and the FBI, and it was all true. ”
"Some people are always more legendary than the movies," Ronan said. ”
David Villa smiled and said, "I can only say that the love of parents is really great. ”
Ronan nodded again, then asked, "Did you get someone to contact her?"
"Not yet. David Villa said: "I just got the verified results last night and called you this morning. ”
Ronan said, "Have someone reach out to her and see if she's willing to come forward." He thought for a moment and said, "Don't force it. ”
David Villa said seriously: "We won't force her. But when she stands up, it is actually good for the whole society, and it can remind some parents and girls that there are really many dangers in this world. ”
"Hmm. Ronan said, "Let people go." If she agrees, you have a plan specifically for that. ”
He suddenly had another idea: "I can let her work for the upcoming rescue foundation, I think she should be very interested." ”
David Villa said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”
Ronan went to Garcia's office instead, and discussed with him about making charitable donations for the upcoming Rescue Charity Foundation after the release of "Hurricane Rescue".
Charities like this kind of charity, Embassy Pictures and "Hurricane Rescue" will only account for a very small percentage of charity, and the vast majority of charity funding will of course rely on fundraising.
In fact, charitable donations from the North American box office revenue of "Hurricane Rescue" will not have much impact on the film's profits, and these donations can offset some of the taxes.
As time went on, the pre-screening promotion of "Hurricane Rescue" also kicked off.
Embassy Pictures released an official poster showing Amanda Seyfried, with her hands tied and her mouth gagged, with tears in her eyes, being dragged into the darkness by two blurred figures.
Amanda Seyfried has the title above her head – "Hurricane Rescue".
Below is a line of bright red letters: The girl was kidnapped by a human trafficking organization, and the rescue time was only seventy-two hours!
Soon, the first trailer of the film was released, which still featured Amanda Seyfried as the heroine.
The trailer, which is just over a minute long, tells the story of the heroine and her female classmates traveling to Paris, meeting a handsome guy at the airport, being kidnapped by the criminal organization behind the handsome guy's calculations, and the female classmate was forced to pick up customers to death because she was not injected with drugs.
All of this is creating a tragic situation after the disappearance of the girl, making people feel the sense of urgency of burning eyebrows and waiting for rescue.
"A girl living in the sun, coerced into the dark world, and urgently needs to be saved!"
Relevant propaganda and news began to be widely disseminated in print media, television stations and on the Internet.
This topic has attracted a lot of attention, and in recent years, there has been a steady stream of media reports about the disappearance of the girl.
For most families, who doesn't have children?
Then, in the media and on the Internet, there were suddenly many reports of the disappearance of young girls, as far as more than ten years ago, and as recently as these months, which seemed to have become a hot topic in society overnight.
Several media outlets and websites are driven by the power of money, and when they report on these events from a righteous standpoint, they may become a small hot spot, and once the hot spot has enough potential to attract attention, more media will spontaneously follow up in a timely manner to push the incident further to the center of public opinion.
"A few weeks ago, a minor girl in Pennsylvania disappeared after school and has not been heard from since, and the police suspect that she has been trafficked. ”
This is the news on Yahoo News, as well as interviews with the girl's parents and the local police.
The case was a recent occurrence and attracted a lot of attention, but with the coverage of Yahoo News, the incident quickly spread across the United States.
"A fifteen-year-old girl went missing while out playing and was found in a man's backyard container a few months later!"
More and more cases are appearing on the Internet, including detailed information about the cases and so on.
There are too many cases of disappearances of young girls like this every year.
Even the four major television networks in the United States are following up on the news.
"Three young girls were imprisoned for 10 years, but they escaped by chance asking for help. ”
A series of related cases have been disclosed by the media, and NBC has also taken advantage of the heat to produce and broadcast a prime-time program with this as the main body.
"Police in Cleveland, the capital of Ohio, announced on May 5 this year that investigators rescued three women who had been kidnapped and imprisoned for many years in a home in Cleveland, and captured Ariel, the 52-year-old suspect who abducted the three women......
More and more cases are coming into the public eye.
In 1997, Brittany, a 17-year-old girl from New York State, went on vacation to Mexico and disappeared on the beach, only to be killed seven years later when her family learned of her in an underground brothel and rushed to rescue her. The girl was shot and killed after being gang-raped and then fed to a crocodile after Brittany was hooked up with a drug addiction while picking up customers. ”
Many of the cases are really shocking, and the proportion of girls who have disappeared is higher than that of underage men, and they have all been subjected to extremely tragic abuse after disappearance.
There is even a website that revealed that several American girls who traveled to South America disappeared, and when the police found them, even their bodies were trained into human oil and sold to Europe.
"What do you do as a parent when a child is kidnapped?"
"Hurricane Rescue" took the opportunity to release a second promotional poster, which has two posters, showing an anxious mother hiding her face in pain, as if she is about to collapse at any moment.
The other is Liam Neeson's male protagonist, his face is gloomy, and his whole body is filled with worry and anger, as if he wants to not only find his daughter, but also burn the flames of anger at the group of scum!
In the case of a certain amount of heat created by the momentum in the early stage, Embassy Pictures held a special test screening for media and fans for "Hurricane Rescue".
Influenced by public opinion, "Hurricane Rescue" has been well received by most people.
"It's great for families to watch together, especially those with daughters. ”
"I am a father, after watching this film, thinking of so many disappearances, I really want to say to my daughter, you really need to learn to protect yourself!"
"Young girls, don't get into the car of a handsome guy easily, because that could be a trap!"
"The pure love of father and daughter is touching and exciting. ”
The blockbuster's praise flooded the Internet and the media, making "Hurricane Rescue" even more attention-grabbing.
Although there is still a killer feature that has not been released, the film has won enough attention after public opinion was mobilized by the issue of missing girls.
For a while, its popularity was even close to "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which was also painted before Thanksgiving.
Every year, the Thanksgiving schedule is crowded with a large number of popular movies, and this year is no exception.
Two weekends before Thanksgiving, "Hurricane Rescue" was released in full theaters in North America.
Initially, Embassy Pictures wanted the film to be released on the weekend before Thanksgiving, but Warner Bros.'s "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was chosen on this schedule, and in order to avoid colliding with this magical family carnival giant ship, Embassy Pictures had to adjust the schedule.
Although the audience of the two films is different, Harry Potter's influence has risen, and with such a huge disparity in investment, no one wants to collide with Harry Potter head-on.
The weekend before the release of "Hurricane Rescue" was the release of Pierce Brosnan's final Bond battle, "Die Again".
Sandwiched between two first-line productions, "Hurricane Rescue" is a bit stressful.
