Chapter 23: Questions

Compared with those big productions that take several years to shoot and post, the production cycle of witches is undoubtedly very short. But as with other B-grade horror films, this movie took enough time, from writing the script to filming in more than a month.

Leila is in a hurry to release it, not only because she wants to be a blockbuster on Halloween, but more because she is afraid of the person named Cooper. She doesn't know exactly what happened before, only that this person will not give up his grudge with the company, and his revenge will likely start with this movie.

Much of the witch's success lies in its marketing tactics and the gimmick of the first DV film in history. Once these two points are exposed in advance, it will definitely be a considerable blow to the movie. It's like a magician who has performed a very powerful magic trick, if you know in advance how that magic trick works, how many people will be willing to watch it?

The same is true for witches, once it is revealed that the missing person notice in the entertainment newspaper was a hoax from the beginning, an "advertisement" made to attract people to watch a movie, then how many viewers are willing to go into the movie theater? It is estimated that the vast majority of people will feel fooled because they have been deceived.

So before the film started, Leila asked Louise to use the company's distribution department to contact the theaters. It's a pity that the company's previous works really didn't have good results, so that the boss of the theater chain didn't have much confidence in them, which caused only a dozen theaters to be won for such a long time.

Think about it, a company that only produces B-grade films, the last movie released was a few years ago, and the box office is very dismal, how many theater owners can continue to be optimistic about this company? Not to mention that the once talented boss has passed away and has been replaced by a young girl who has just come of age!

Leila believes that those who shake their heads and reject Louise must be thinking to themselves, the little girl who has not yet grown up still wants to be a director? Please! This is Hollywood! Not a place where you can succeed with a few bucks!

If she is willing to spend money, it is better to say, but the problem is that she didn't even spend money on this movie, so she used those dazzling movies to attract the audience to the cinema? Or dress up beautifully to go to high-end cocktail parties and fashion shows, and be a competent wealthy lady!

"Well, I'll do my best to find it. Louise sighed to herself, and could only bite the bullet. I hope that seeing her face can make some old guys relax.

After Louise went out, Leila was left alone in the office again. She thought about it for a moment and picked up her phone to dial a number.

"Anthony, the plan can be implemented, go for it!"

"It's ready, you'll see what you want to see. "Anthony is confident.

Leila smiled slightly, "I'm looking forward to it." ”

When it was finally time for the last effort, she put down the phone and put her hands crossed on the table. The witch has already sent the MPAA (American Film Association) rating, G, PG rating, she doesn't have extravagant expectations, she just hopes to get PG-13 (special tutoring grade), so that more people can enter the movie theater without hindrance.

She is well aware of the potential of the film and that young people will be the biggest contributors to the box office of the film. Let's see if they can contribute the power to shock the whole world like they did in their previous lives!

The results of the review were quickly sent in, and as Leila expected, they were placed in the PG-13 column. Maybe there wasn't much plasma and foul mouth, but if she was assigned R class or NG-17, she would have cried.

October 31 is Halloween, and now Hollywood doesn't care much about this time, it can't compare to the summer and Christmas files, and the basic films released at the same time are some small films. It's not without big productions, but Layla feels that she doesn't need to pay attention to it at all, after all, the subject matter is different.

By the time they were actively arranging copies to be sent to various theaters, the outside world had already almost fallen out due to the further discovery of the disappearance.

The latest news is still from the "Entertainment Home Daily". According to their follow-up report, a professor of anthropology at the University of Maryland took his students to study the forest where the disappearance took place and found a large travel bag in an old log cabin.

They delivered the belongings to the police, where the family identified them as belonging to one of the three missing students. The discovery of this incident made some people who speculated that the missing person was not in the woods here, and the missing people honestly shut up.

It's just that the next development stunned countless people, because in the travel bag, the police found what the missing person had filmed.

After the family of the missing person took the belongings, they found amazing information on them, as well as incredible fragments. They asked the police for help, only to get an answer that "it was a student fake" and did not believe that the footage was real.

The family members were furious, accusing the police of inaction and demanding that they immediately send someone to search for the children.

Readers who read the news also wondered what kind of images were left behind that would make the police think that they were fake, and the parents thought that they were in danger? Some people and the media asked the police, but the information they got was that there had been no disappearance at all.

People who wanted to know the truth simply didn't believe in such an understatement and began to pay more attention to the dedicated website, which lived up to expectations and released more shocking "good news", such as some video clips that were said to have been circulated from family members.

Seeing those scenes of crying and screaming, panicked thoughts kept flowing in my heart - was there really a witch? Were the three missing students really killed by the witch?

But the website didn't give an accurate answer, maybe even they didn't know.

So not satisfied with that little bit of understanding, and the frightened people began to accuse the police, accusing them of deliberately concealing the facts and not letting the public know the real situation. Some conspiracy theorists have even started to post statements that some places are reluctant to admit it because they are controlled by witches!

"Leila, are we going too far?" Louise felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat as she watched the people gathered in front of the police station on TV to find the real answer.

Leila put her cheek in one hand, tilted her head and smiled, and asked her, "What did we do?"

"The ones in the newspapers, of course. Missing person notice or something, I always feel that things are getting bigger and bigger. ”

"Does it matter?" Leila pulled out an entertainer newspaper from the side, the one with the missing person notice printed on it, "Look where this was published?"

Louise looked at the place where her finger pointed, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Entertainment version ......"

"Now do you have any questions?"

"......" Louise could still have any doubts, apparently the little boss already knew what he was doing from the beginning. The entertainment version is not a place to tell the truth, otherwise what would be the lace news of those stars?

Is her little boss really only eighteen years old? If there is any doubt, this will be the only question she will have.
