Chapter 1695: Sudden Kidnapping

1695

Los Angeles, a hotel.

"Kurt, this person is the president of the Hollywood Film Association, and he is also the focus of our party tomorrow, this person is very important in the Hollywood House, I have already contacted people in advance, if there is no accident, he will come to our party!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"What does this person like?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I like to read, and I also liked acting when I was young, but I don't act anymore. Guo Yunpeng said.

"Like to read, it's not good to give things!" Xu Taiping said.

"You can talk in detail after we meet the day after tomorrow, and there is no need to worry now, if we can get this Kurt the day after tomorrow and let him help us talk, then our participation in the Oscars will be safe!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"Is his words useful?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Of course it works, if he can support us, then we must have no problem nominating for the Oscar, even if we win the Oscar, it is possible, the Oscar needs to have more than a thousand judges to vote, we don't know who the judges are, but he probably knows that if we can use him to contact those judges, the benefits to us are undoubted, so, this trip to Los Angeles, the person we need to get the most is this Cotter!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"Then I really have to have a good chat with him!" Xu Taiping said seriously.

"By the way, we have received a lot of media interview applications for tomorrow's film promotion meeting, and it is estimated that the attention of tomorrow's publicity meeting will reach an amazing level!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"That's what we hyped up before. Xu Taiping said with a smile, "Hype, attract attention, naturally, the attention will be high, and it will be well publicized tomorrow!"

"Hmm!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.

"By the way, why didn't Jiang Yingying come tonight?" asked Xu Taiping.

"He? He went out to play, saying that he had a few friends here! Why, do you want to see him?" asked Guo Yunpeng.

"I don't want to see it, I'm just asking, but L.A. is too big and mixed, so you remember to tell him when you go out to play, remember to bring more people, it's safer." Xu Taiping said.

"I told him this a long time ago, in addition to Fengqi, he also brought a number of people, no problem. Guo Yunpeng said.

"Well, that's okay, okay, it's not too early, get ready to rest!" Xu Taiping said.

"Well, then I'll go first!" Guo Yunpeng said, leaving Xu Taiping's room with several other members of the team.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day.

Today is the second promotional event for the film at Arlington University.

The first publicity can be said to be a complete failure, the auditorium was robbed, and then it was attacked, but fortunately, this failure attracted a lot of attention for the film team, so today's second level of publicity at Arlington University, although it has not yet begun, but there are many media reporters who came to set up camera positions in the venue early, in addition, there are many students rushed to the auditorium early in the morning, ready to occupy a good position.

Suffice it to say, this campaign was a success before it even started, because it attracted enough attention.

The ultimate goal of any movie promotion is to gain attention.

Because of Martin's relationship, the attention that the "Skywalk" film team has now received is unprecedentedly high.

Here, Xu Taiping really wants to say thank you to Mr. Martin.

Entrance to the auditorium.

Lu Damin and a large group of rich Chinese second generations in the school came here early.

A large group of people occupied all the entrances and exits of the entire auditorium, and they did their best to screen everyone who entered the auditorium.

Not to mention, under their screening, many people with ulterior motives were directly blocked out of the door, and there was also a person with a hot pot who was also blocked.

These people with ulterior motives wanted to enter the Great Hall, but there were too many Chinese, and they couldn't break through the other party's defenses at all.

It didn't take long for the auditorium to fill up.

Lu Damin directly ordered to go down, block all entrances and exits, and no longer let anyone enter the auditorium.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the entire film team successfully arrived in the auditorium, after which the promotion of the film soon began.

It was a very successful film promotion event, with thousands of students from Arlington University participating in the film promotion meeting, and at the same time, media reporters from many places also spread the content of the entire publicity meeting to all parts of the country through cameras on the spot.

Xu Taiping arranged the best spot for Jennifer's team, and Jennifer is said to have applied to their television station to produce a special episode to cover the "Skywalk" movie.

This is very important for the entire film team, and Xu Taiping is naturally grateful.

The promotion of the film came to an end with bursts of applause.

This publicity meeting was very successful, some tidbits of the movie, as well as some stories of the main creator, all made the people present have a strong interest in the movie.

These people are likely to become the first audience of the movie, and if the reputation of the movie is good enough, then this good reputation will spread and radiate through the first audience.

If a movie really wants to get a very high, or even record-breaking box office, the most important thing is to have a good reputation by word of mouth.

Xu Taiping thought of "War Tiger", which created a box office miracle for Chinese movies back then, this movie was not popular at first, but because the reputation was too good, the box office showed explosive growth in the later stage, and finally created a box office miracle.

Therefore, if the current "Tianxing" wants to get a good box office, what is most needed is a good reputation.

Only when publicity and word-of-mouth are done well can the movie be truly successful.

The audience is not a fool, no matter how good the publicity is, if there is no good reputation, it is possible that it will usher in a short box office peak when it is released, and then it will quickly fall to the bottom, in this case, you can refer to a film called "Aisen Apartment" more than 100 years ago This movie is known as one of the top ten pit movies in the history of film for hundreds of years, relying on selling feelings to trick a large group of audiences into the cinema, but it turned out to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it was a movie that had nothing to do with feelings, and the box office exploded at the beginning, but the box office fell sharply in the end, and as of the end of the release, the box office on the first day accounted for 50% of the total box office.

Xu Taiping invested in this movie, although it was to make Zhao Xiaohua popular and take out money laundering, but Xu Taiping also hoped that this movie could achieve a good result, so Xu Taiping also specially went to understand the development history of Chinese films, in his opinion, only by fully understanding the development history of Chinese films, it is possible to make better movies, although he is not a producer, but he knows more, and he can give Guo Yunpeng some advice.

The Anlington University campaign ended with applause from everyone, and the team moved on to many other locations to promote it.

For Xu Taiping, he doesn't need to participate in the entire publicity, he is the boss, and what he needs to do more is to do a good job in the upper echelons, so tomorrow's party will be fully responsible for Xu Taiping.

As the richest man in China, Xu Taiping's appeal is amazing, according to Guo Yunpeng, at least 30 celebrities have said that they are willing to attend tomorrow's party, and at the same time, the president of the Hollywood Film Association, Kurt, also made it clear that he will attend the party tomorrow, which is very good news for Xu Taiping.

Night.

Xu Taiping arranged a grand dinner banquet for Lu Damin and some Chinese students studying abroad after the first stop of the movie's promotion was over.

These international students are basically rich second generations, either their families have mines, or they are demolition households, or their parents are upper-class people, they helped Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping invited them to dinner, this is a matter of course, but for these rich second generations, it is definitely a great honor to be able to eat with Xu Taiping.

Half past seven in the evening.

Los Angeles, Ballroom on the third floor of the Kelmos Hotel.

Xu Taiping chartered the entire banquet hall and set up more than a dozen tables.

This time, in addition to the banquet for those rich second generations, Xu Taiping also asked these rich second generations to call many students studying at other universities in Los Angeles, or some Chinese who are begging for a life in Los Angeles.

In Xu Taiping's view, everyone is Chinese and overseas, so since they have a treat, they will invite them together, anyway, it won't cost much more, and by the way, they can get closer to each other.

So, tonight, in addition to a large group of rich Chinese from Arlington University, there are many other Chinese.

Xu Taiping has the name of the richest man in China, and his appeal is huge, whether he came to see him or came with a stammer, anyway, more than a dozen tables were almost full before eight o'clock.

Xu Taiping looked at his watch, frowned and said to Guo Yunpeng beside him, "Lu Damin hasn't come yet?"

"yes, I didn't see him, I just called him, but I didn't answer. Guo Yunpeng said.

"Where did you run this kid?" Xu Taiping muttered.

At this moment, Xu Taiping's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Xu Taiping looked at his mobile phone and found that it was Jennifer calling.

Xu Taiping picked up the phone.

"Taiping, have you watched the news?" asked Jennifer.

"No, what's wrong?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I just got the news from the police station on the floor that a Chinese student has been kidnapped, and the robbers are demanding a ransom of $10 million from the family of the student! Now, the parents of the international student have called the police!" Jennifer said.

"The international student was kidnapped?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "Did I know him?"

"It's... It's that Lu Damin!" Jennifer said.

"Lu Damin, he was kidnapped?"
