In the living room, Kirkland looked at the TV, his face a little gloomy, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

Hallie patted his hand gently and comforted, "It's okay, really. It's actually interesting to think about, we ......."

"We've been tricked!" Kirkland's face became more and more ugly as he stared at the TV, "These bastards!"

The fire in my heart is very big, since the first time I saw the relevant news in the Discovery Channel, I have been concerned about this matter, not only promoting and reposting online posts everywhere, but also joined a volunteer organization, volunteered to run on the streets, distributed relevant materials and photos to passers-by, hoping to make a contribution to the recovery of three college students.

However, the reality is too harsh.

All this, everything Kirkland paid attention to, everything he paid for, turned out to be a joke.

The so-called disappearance of the Blair witch and the three students is nothing more than a huge hoax.

It was rumored before, but tonight's talk show made all the speculation come true.

Thinking of the ridicule of the people around him, and the enthusiasm of the devotion, Kirkland felt that he was a joke.

Hallie looked at the talk show on TV, took the remote control, and said, "Shall we watch another show?"

Don't let the shameless creators of the "Blair Witch" crew stimulate their boyfriends again.

Kirkland grabbed Hallie's hand: "Don't change the channel, I'm going to keep watching, I'm going to remember these vile and shameless bastards!

He said word by word: "Daniel Mailik, Edjado Sanziz, Heather Donayo, Michael Williams......"

Harley didn't change the channel, but turned to look at the TV, where a thin middle-aged man with eyes was answering the host's questions.

It was introduced at the beginning of the show, and this is Daniel Malik, the producer and first director of "Blair the Witch".

Kirkland looked at the director on the television with disgust and anger.

This director is shameless and still boasting!

The host asked, "Director Malik, it is said that the idea, shooting and marketing ideas for the film "Blair the Witch" all came from you, right?"

Daniel Milrick knows that this is a huge platform, a rare good opportunity to promote himself, and there are no people from the distribution company who participate in the show today, and the crew is completely dominated by him.

Daniel McLick certainly won't miss such a great opportunity, and he boasts a little: "When I was a kid, I used to listen to my grandmother tell stories about witches, and then I came up with the idea of making a witch movie, and one year when I was traveling in Maryland, I heard the locals tell the story of Blair the witch, and I found it to be great material. ”

Since Ronan Anderson has no opinions, he is no longer polite: "I wrote the script of "Blair the Witch", found Adaddo to cooperate, and together we shot this film with hand-held photography. ”

The host duly asked, "Did you think about pretending to be a documentary at that time?"

"No, it's not impersonation. Daniel Mailik is in high spirits: "I think it's a new genre of cinema, it's 'pseudo-documentary'. ”

The host was silent, and the question was obviously leading: "It is said that all the work in the early stage of the film "Blair the Witch" was formulated by you?"

Daniel Mailik is just a director who can't even enter the industry, and has never dealt with the media in the past, so where can he hear the trap in this remark, and directly say: "Let's just say that." ”

He said this without any ambiguity, and Ronan Anderson and the distribution company have already expressed their support.

"Can you tell us more about it?" the moderator asked again.

Daniel Mollick struggled to highlight himself: "The idea for the film "Blair the Witch" came from me, the script was written by me, the movie was made by me, the website was set up by me, and the information about witches was also collected by me. ”

Thinking that the North American box office of the film will soon exceed the $100 million mark, Daniel Mailik further emphasized his role as a director: "Let's put it this way, the marketing plan for the film also came from me. ”

Daniel Mailrick doesn't think there's anything wrong with that, and Ronan Anderson admits that Embassy Pictures' promotional marketing plan was inspired by the website he built.

The show is still going on, and Kirkland, the audience, is about to burst with anger.

Seeing her boyfriend's increasingly gloomy face, Harley consulted him again and turned off the TV.

Kirkland said with a dark face: "I will never watch any movie in which this bastard director is involved in the future!"

Although Harley was not as angry as Kirkland, she was not happy, and said, "I don't watch either!"

Kirkland stood up and walked towards the computer desk, saying as he went, "I'm going to blog!"

Turning on the computer, he posted a blog post first, and then Hallie also posted a blog post, and the content of the two was much the same, both saying that the crew led by Daniel McLick was despicable and shameless, and called on friends to boycott any film they participated in in the future.

Kirkland took a look on the Internet, and there was already a lot of scolding on the Internet.

Of course, it is not without people who express their admiration for the development of this "viral marketing plan", but the scolding belongs to the absolute majority.

"That director named Daniel Mailik is so immoral that he's a liar at all!"

"The film is so stupid, and the head is all used to deceive people, right?"

"When we are all mentally retarded, Lao Tzu will never watch a movie about this bastard again. ”

"It has created a precedent for shoddy and mysterious pseudo-documentary horror films, and I am quite disgusted with the hype of this film, which is quite undisciplined. ”

"That is, I am not in Los Angeles, if I were in Los Angeles, I would rush to the NBC studio right now and shoot this bastard!"

Kirkland also has an urge to kill, and Daniel McRick and his team have gone too far!

NBC's studio in Los Angeles, after the show was finished, Daniel Milrick was still excited.

"Director Mailik. A staff member from the embassy film industry came to inform: "The car is at the front door, do you want to leave now?"

Daniel Mailik consulted the others and said, "Go back to the hotel." ”

Today's mood is particularly comfortable, and when they go out, the people from the embassy film industry get out of the way and follow them as if they are followers.

Daniel Millik is very satisfied with the attitude of Embassy Pictures, Ronan Anderson respects him and values him very much, and success and obscurity are really the difference between heaven and earth.

Soon he will become a member of the club of well-known directors and directors with a box office of 100 million yuan.

Thinking that the North American box office of "Blair the Witch" was about to break 100 million, Daniel McLick suddenly found that he had overlooked a problem.

"Blair the Witch" has a box office of over 100 million, and Ronan Anderson and Embassy Pictures can make tens of millions of dollars, but what about themselves?

How much can I earn?

Daniel Mailik's heart sank, he had been so drunk with the excitement and joy of the success and fame of his first film that he hadn't thought about it.

Now that he has a name, his mind naturally turns to profit.

No matter how much money "Blair the Witch" makes, how much will it get into my hands?

Daniel McRick thought of the contract, an $80,000 rights buyout, and a $50,000 box office bonus when the film grossed $500,000.

And then...... And then it's gone.

And the $50,000 box office bonus will have to be shared with the rest of the crew.

When all is counted, he can make a profit of $100,000 at most.

Why am I so stupid? I only had this little royalty and a later share! No, I have to talk to Ronan Anderson about this.

Daniel Mailik is still a little confident, Ronan Anderson values him very much, and now he is not the unknown director he was at the beginning, and "Blair the Witch" from the idea to the script to the filming and production is all from him, and he also has the capital to talk to Ronan Anderson about the post-sharing.

While thinking about it, he walked out of the studio, the lights on the side of the road were unusually bright, the lights near the door were bright, and there were many fans and reporters.

Some fans wore cultural shirts with the words "Blair the Witch" printed on them, and reporters were eager to come and interview.

Countless flashing lights lit up, and the dazzling lights almost made people unable to open their eyes.

This feeling of media attention pulled Daniel Malik's sinking heart back, raised his eyes, laughed, and was ready to respond to the people around him.

Whoosh –

Something seemed to be flying from the left.

Daniel Malik subconsciously turned his head to see that an oval object had already flown in front of him, smashed into his face, and then shattered, and his face was clear and yellow.

Whoosh –

Another egg flew out of the fan, grazed Daniel Malik's head, and landed on the ground.

"Kill this bastard!"

Some of the fans were shouting excitedly.

Daniel Mailik was a little confused and couldn't figure out what the situation was.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

A security guard urged.

The staff of the embassy film industry also ran over from behind, pushing the crew to get into the car quickly, and a few more eggs flew out and smashed on the ground behind them.

"Why?" Daniel Mailik asked, sitting in the car, taking a tissue to wipe the sticky stuff off his face, "why?"

I'm a director, they're fans of Blair the Witch, why would they attack me?

Daniel Malik couldn't figure it out for a moment.

The staff of the embassy film company answered: "It may be that some fans are overly emotional. He knew the inside story and was full of nonsense: "During the screening, some fans were scared, and it is said that some people were stunned, maybe they were overly frightened." ”

Daniel Mailik nodded, and there was some truth to that.

The staff member added: "It's not a bad thing, it means that your movie is too good and too scary." ”

When the car came to the hotel, the staff advised: "There will be a media interview tomorrow morning, and a cover magazine shoot in the afternoon, which Mr. Anderson has specially arranged for you." ”

Hearing this, Daniel Malek's mood quickly improved, Ronan Anderson is really good, media activities one after another, or specially arranged to highlight himself.
