It turned out that in order to "find out the enemy's situation", Jon Philheimer excluded the members of the production department led by production manager Henry to watch "Pearl Harbor" on the premiere day, in order to get as objective viewing and evaluation as possible before the major media published film reviews.

If you talk about the distribution and promotion of movies, Henry may not be good at it, but when it comes to the touch of movies, Henry, who was born as a producer, still has experience and ability that ordinary people can't match.

"What do you mean?" Fellheimer asked suspiciously, hearing Henry's evaluation of Pearl Harbor, and the others also showed curious expressions.

Henry immediately sat down and told everyone about the plot of "Pearl Harbor", his experience of watching the movie, and the reaction of the audience.

After Henry's remarks, everyone couldn't help but show an incredible look, and Philheimer was silent for a while.

"So, 'Pearl Harbor' really tells the story of a crappy love triangle, and then there's a whole bunch of explosions?" Sean, the distribution manager, asked excitedly.

"Well, that's good. Henry nodded, then corrected, "It's a gorgeous but hollow explosion." ”

But the question is whether this kind of empty and gorgeous scene will be popular with the audience. Fellheimer began.

"Not bad. Henry nodded, "If it's just 'Pearl Harbor' with these explosions, I'm hard to be sure, but with that crappy love triangle, I'm pretty sure 'Pearl Harbor' is dead." ”

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Sean curiously.

"This love triangle is like this...... Henry spread his hands and said, "At first, the heroine Kate was attracted to the male protagonist Ben Affleck, and then the two began to date, and the male number two, Josh Hartnett, has always been just playing soy sauce as a sworn friend. ”

But when Ben Affleck went to England to fight in the war, was shot down by the Germans, and his life and death were uncertain, Josh Hartnett took the opportunity to get close to the heroine Kate, and then the two had a one-night stand. ”

"Blah blah. Philheimer raised his hand, "You mean, when the male protagonist became a war hero and his life and death were uncertain, the female protagonist was on the bed of his best friend?"

"Not bad. Henry nodded heavily, but the teasing smile on his face could not be concealed.

"TF!?" Sean on the side had a grass-holding expression on his face, feeling that his three views had been seriously impacted.

You must know that the soldiers and fighters of the United States imperialism have always been regarded by the public as defending their homes and defending the country, and they are heroes of war. And "Pearl Harbor" made a play in the film, the plot of the war hero being cuckolded!?

It's like infinite death.

"Wow, this kind of plot was actually blown up by Bey and Jerry Brookheimer?" Fellheimer looked incredulous.

"Maybe they want to learn from Titanic too much. Sean said uncertainly.

"It's completely different. "Philheimer," the love line of "Titanic", is a poor boy and a rich girl who break through social constraints and repression for true love***. ”

"And "Pearl Harbor" ......" Fellheimer shook his head, and couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while: "It's more like a bloody reality show drama in "The Bachelor", where two men compete for one woman." ”

"Hahaha——, when you say this, the emotional drama of "Pearl Harbor" really feels like a blind date reality show. Henry burst out laughing.

After relaxing, Philheimer touched his chin and pondered.

"What's wrong? Jon. As soon as Sean, the distribution manager, saw his expression, he knew that Philheimer must have had something in mind.

"I felt like I could take advantage of this opportunity. Philheimer was worthy of being the first manager in Hollywood, and his brain was spinning very fast, and after listening to Henry's story, he immediately thought of a marketing method that Sid had used before.

"How?" asked Henry, curious.

"Sean, do you remember back then, in order to promote the viral marketing of "Ghost Record", the boss asked you to do on the Internet?" Fairheimer asked with a smile.

"You're saying that the Boss has us impersonating the family members of the 'victims' and people who believe in ghost stories online to spread fake news online?" Sean certainly remembers Sid's first big deal vividly.

"Not bad. Firmheimer nodded, "I want your colleagues in the distribution department and the publicity department to conduct another online propaganda offensive." Of course, this time we are not trying to 'make Yao', but to borrow portals such as Yahoo Forum to carry out public opinion attacks on "Pearl Harbor". ”

I have to say that Philheimer is really not a shot, and he will be fatal as soon as he makes a move.

"However, the cyber offensive of that year actually didn't play that big role. When Sean heard Philheimer's big plan, he couldn't help but remind, "At that time, we still put more resources on physical newspaper propaganda and personnel disguise. ”

"Well, I know. Philheimer nodded without changing his face, "But now it's different, the Internet environment is much better than a few years ago, and I think many young people have begun to have the habit of reading movie reviews on the Internet." ”

"So we don't need to influence everyone, we only need to influence a small group of people who will play a leading role, and we can change the next word-of-mouth trend to the greatest extent. ”

Philheimer's words made everyone nod their heads, the key is that such a short period of "network publicity" will not cost too much, and it will not cause too much burden on the company and the project.

"Okay, then I'll immediately organize people from the distribution department and the propaganda department to post on Yahoo and MSN and engage in publicity. Sean is also a man who does what he says, knowing that the three-day box office result of the first weekend is crucial, and every minute should not be wasted.

"Well, that's good. Philheimer nodded, "In addition, I will also have people contact Google, Boss said that they have acquired Blog, we can contact those celebrity bloggers who specialize in writing film reviews, ask them to write us advertorials, and then complain about "Pearl Harbor". ”

The task was arranged, and the Fire Lion Pictures in the early morning was in full swing, and it was very lively.

In fact, the method used by Philheimer had a more down-to-earth name in later generations, "Hire a Water Army", and it was only at the beginning of the 21st century that he was able to come up with this set, which is indeed quite good.

And with the concerted efforts of Jon and his colleagues in Fire Lion, word of mouth about "Pearl Harbor" and "Harry Potter" also took the lead in spreading from the Internet.

Under the rather offensive love triangle plot, the original wonderful explosion scene of "Pearl Harbor" has become strange because it is the premise of a Japanese bombing of the American army.
