Chapter 82 Exploiting the Publicity Plan

A piece of news quickly became popular all over the country, starting with the Los Angeles Times, to the reprint of the Washington Post and the New York Times, and then to the joint retransmission of many newspapers across the country, in just three days. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even on the fourth day, the British "Times" and Australia's "Sydney Morning Herald" also dispatched, of course, various TV stations are rushing to report.

The mysterious homicide that occurred in the small town of Huron, California, three students at Lincoln High School in Los Angeles who disappeared in May, the bodies that died at least three months but were well preserved, the main cause of death with blood loss of up to 80% of the whole body, as well as the trauma of a tear on the neck but not a bite of a fierce animal, and the home where the crime occurred with limited mobility and Alzheimer's living alone. There is more than one mystery in this, and it is really impossible not to pay attention to it.

There are many people who have a headache for this, and the Huron police have limited police resources and are unable to carry out an in-depth investigation of the case, considering that the deceased is from Los Angeles, so naturally the Los Angeles police station is pulled in. Moreover, since this is already a matter between two cities after all, Mayor Huron, the mayor of Los Angeles, and the governor of California have all paid great attention to this case, and for a while, half of the West Coast has become lively.

Considering the arrangement of police forces and the distance between the two places, the case was quickly assigned to the head of the Los Angeles Police Department, and a special task force was set up for this purpose. As for the team leader, an agent sent from the FBI, led about 30 police officers and eight police vehicles.

"Sergey, do you mean that these three students disappeared after beating an Asian elementary school student?"

In the office, Inspector Marr tapped his fingers on the table.

"Yes, at that time the child had already been beaten unconscious, was found by his sister on the street corner and sent straight back to school. The call to the police was after that, and then the principal of Lincoln High School found out that they couldn't find the three students. ”

Mar pondered for a moment: "Who is that sister?"

"Alice Wong attends the same elementary school as her brother Oscar, one in fifth grade and the other in sixth grade. ”

Oh, it's just a schoolboy.

Mar nodded and said: "So, our case is actually a follow-up to that case, the brawl case turned into a disappearance case and then turned into a murder case, presumably you should have investigated a lot at that time, what did you gain?"

Sergei pondered for a moment and said: "The police station initially only investigated the disappearance, but after the blood stains were found in the gutter at the scene, it was indeed investigated in the direction of the murder case, and Pauline and I even took over the job of escorting the Wang family's children to school. After all, no one can be sure that if there are really serial killers, they will also set their eyes on them by the way. ”

Mar's gaze turned deeply, and in the dark, there seemed to be a clue that could tie everything together, but he couldn't grasp what that clue was. The two elementary school students are not the focus, the focus is to investigate the lives of those three high school students, maybe they offended something that should not be offended, causing the other party to resent, which led to a series of disappearances and murders.

"Anyway, let's visit everyone first, and the two elementary school students will also take a look. ”

With that, he got up and walked out of the office quickly, leaving Sergei there frowning and pondering.

"Albuquerque ......"

With a mutter, he followed and walked out.

When the national and even global print media began to report a certain news, Alice was not idle at all, with her spirit and the work efficiency of 50 engineers at Microsoft, there were too many facts that could be done if she was really busy.

"A trip to the mainland can be placed during the winter vacation, and toad glasses and bell bottoms are not so popular so quickly, not to mention that we have a lot of preliminary work. ”

In her father's study, Alice is chattering to Sophie about her plans to start a business.

"But it's the end of October after all, so we have to register our clothing brand quickly, and Ashley submitted seven ideas to me, but because her fundamental interest is in designing clothes, she also said that it doesn't matter if I make up another one. Mom, do you have any good suggestions?"

Sophie pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter what the brand name is, as long as the publicity is in place and the brand image is built, any name will become a classic, Apple is the best example." Everything else is easy to say, just one thing, Weiwei, are you sure that "Ghost Shadow" can raise enough funds for us? Mom doesn't know much about movies, don't lie to me. ”

"Let's put it this way, horror films are the genre that is most likely to achieve low-cost and high-box office, don't look at my planned investment of only 20,000 yuan, as long as it is shot well, the final box office has nothing to do with the cost!"

Sophie smiled: "It's like the so-called, the cost is not directly related to the selling price, right?"

Alice Lian nodded.

Yes, although the Basic Economics Society tells you that prices fluctuate around value, it is not absolute!

As long as the price I sell can be accepted by the user, and the user doesn't know the cost, or even if he knows the cost, he can't do anything, isn't that what I like to sell at what price?

From the early days of the refrigerator filled with fluoride with unequal amount of information, the cost of three cents was 300 yuan, and the super profiteering of glasses sales was almost all the same.

Don't look at the shooting cost of this movie is only 20,000 yuan, as long as it is filmed well, the box office will definitely break through the sky!

"In fact, compared to the cost of filming, the real big deal is still in publicity, but fortunately, this case happened to appear recently. Tsk, if you put the filming location of a ghost movie on the scene of a mysterious murder that has caused a sensation all over the country, is there any better publicity than this? It's still almost free!"

Sophie sighed lightly, of course she knew all too well about this recent murder. After all, those three victims beat her youngest son before they disappeared!

"It's really good publicity, but Weiwei, you're really bold enough. ”

She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "The scene of the murder, and it is still unclear what the investigation is, and the corpse is so weird...... Forget it, I can't control you, but do the guys on the crew agree? Just the college students you are looking for at UCLA?"

Alice hummed: "Of course they can't wait to go there to film, everyone is about twenty years old, and they all play with movies, and a few of them are not adventurous." To be honest, I don't even think that even if I don't say it, some of them will have such an offer. ”

Sophie nodded, if it was legal advice, she would definitely be able to give her daughter countless suggestions, but in this kind of macro and wide-ranging entrepreneurial development, Alice is too much more than her.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, in the end he could only say: "If that's the case, let's start with the promotion, after all, it won't take too long for your movie to be filmed, but the time for the box office to be released and the funds to be withdrawn is very long, if you really want to raise enough funds during the winter vacation, it's time to take full action now." ”

Alice finally nodded vigorously and said, "Of course!"

Alice's idea was not wrong, and when the students of the film club learned that they were going to make a ghost movie in the house where the murder occurred in Huron, everyone boiled.

Early in the morning, David Fincher arrived in the classroom early and carefully wiped down his beloved camera. Although she didn't know why, Alice happily handed over the position of assistant director to herself after hearing her name. Although he is only an assistant director, after thinking about it, David is of course very happy to accept it.

Looking at the watch, it was just after half past six, and the big guy planned to meet at the school gate at half past eight, and then drive to Huron City, which was about a three-hour drive. According to Alice's information from the Los Angeles Police Department, all the evidence at the scene of the crime has been collected, otherwise they would not have the right to go in and take pictures.

"It seems that this Alice is indeed very capable, and she can actually get internal information from the police station, and she has relatives working there?"

David looked out the window, he was also a member of the film club, and the graduate student who was responsible for the heroine was walking towards the club building, and it seemed that the climax of the gathering was about to arrive.

Smiling slightly, he wiped the lens more diligently.
