Chapter 61: Block Mobilization

On September 6, Tang personally sent Charlie and Brian to report to USC, and on the way back, he received a call from Harvey.

"Haha, Sean, good news for you. ”

"The date of the premiere has been set!"

Counting the days, from the end of the test screening to the present, it is only a short ten days, and it is impossible to set it so quickly.

Therefore, Tang Feng didn't believe his nonsense, "Come on, Harvey, let's get down to business." ”

On the other side of the phone, Harvey smiled proudly: "I knew you wouldn't believe it, haha!"

"Really, the premiere is scheduled for the 21st of this month. ”

"Come back quickly, I'm in your company now, let's study the specific plan. ”

Hearing what Harvey said, Tang Feng couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

He knew very well that even if Harvey was a jerk, he wouldn't joke about it.

This news caught him a little off guard for a while, and he didn't even know what to do in the next half a month.

After a while, he hurriedly said to Cooper: "Hurry, hurry back to the company as fast as possible!"

The corners of Cooper's mouth turned up now, "Fifteen minutes, let you see Fat Wei." ”

Cooper is so different, the people of the two companies are all combined, and he is the only one who dares to give Harvey a nickname, and strangely enough, Harvey seems to like this nickname.

Now even Tang Feng is a little smooth, but Tang Feng still gives Harvey face in public, and he has never called it like this.

Fifteen minutes later, Tang Feng got out of the car in a daze, shook his head, and said to Cooper with some dissatisfaction: "Damn! Cooper, don't drive like this next time, you almost threw me up." ”

"Also, you should hurry up and find Hunter and ask him to help you find out how many red lights you have run along the way!"

"Within an hour, pay the fine, and come back to see me!"

"Even if you're in a hurry, you shouldn't run a red light, aren't you looking for death?"

"This month's bonus is gone, and my salary is halved! If I find out that you ran a red light again, I'll go back to Upton!"

Cooper doesn't care about this, in the eyes of others, Tang Feng is the boss, Bole, and even an idol!

But in his eyes, Tang Feng is like his little brother, who always likes to play pranks from time to time. It seems that spoofing his boss has become one of the indispensable pleasures in his life.

It stands to reason that an old driver like Tang Feng shouldn't get motion sickness easily, but Cooper is so crazy that he went on a rampage along the way, not to mention several red lights.

In addition, in order to maintain his image, Tang Feng sat in the back seat, even if he was a thousand-year-old driver, he couldn't bear it.

Tang Feng vented his dissatisfaction and staggered towards the office building.

Sanchez, a Latino security guard who was on duty, hurriedly opened the door for him, nodded and said flatteringly: "Mr. Sean, you are back." ”

Tang Feng waved his hand to say hello, then habitually handed him a banknote and walked into the elevator.

As soon as they met, Harvey couldn't wait to shout: "Haha, guess how many theaters are willing to join our program?"

At this time, Tang Feng's motion sickness had not yet passed, he sat on the sofa and asked weakly: "Don't talk about this first, let's talk about what's going on first, why did it suddenly get in line?"

Harvey shrugged, "There's a movie that was supposed to be released in September, but because post-production wasn't finished, it was rescheduled to late December. ”

"It just so happened that I was the first to know about it, so I found a relationship to put our movie in the front. ”

"By the way, it cost more than 50,000 dollars to give gifts and treats, and the invoice has been handed over to William, so this must be yours. ”

Tang Feng nodded, "Okay, sooner or later, you will have to suffer this knife, and it is not bad to be released in September." ”

"Now tell me, what do you want to do?"

Finally got to the point, Harvey immediately said with a smile: "Up to now, there have been seven or eight theaters willing to release our movies." ”

"Loews, Union Cinemas, Marcus, Rave Theatre and Edwards, and even Kamaek, want our premiere to be there with them. ”

Tang Feng frowned, although so many theaters were enough to make him happy, but there was no news from the three largest theaters, so he asked strangely: "What about Royal Entertainment, AMC and Happy Manrk?"

"Don't they have any news?"

Harvey's face collapsed instantly, and he said unconvinced: "Don't mention them, I'm all worn out, but they still insist on waiting for the box office data of the first week to come out before giving me the confirmed news." ”

Hearing him say this, Tang Feng understood the reason, these three major theaters and several major studios are inextricably linked, unless it is the kind of movie that causes a sensational effect, they will not easily reduce the schedule of several major studios.

Seeing that Harvey was indeed angry, he persuaded: "It's okay, don't be angry Harvey." ”

"Although we don't have the support of the three major ones, isn't it good that we can contact so many theaters now?"

"Even without them, when we fully roll out these theaters, there should be thousands of screens, and I'm very happy to have such a result. ”

Harvey looked a little annoyed, "This is a fact, even if it is only now, it is enough for us to eat." ”

"If all the bullshit movies I voted in could reach this level, I would have become a billionaire long ago. ”

"But I'm just not convinced, obviously our movies are of that level, why don't they schedule them?"

Tang Feng shook his head helplessly, Harvey is like this, he can carry it clearly many times, once the little temper comes up, he will lose the ability to think calmly, and get into the tip of the horns.

"That's good, didn't they say they wanted to see the box office in the first week, so let's let them see it. ”

"Okay, now is the time to test us the most, the bargaining with those bosses will be left to you, I'll go to Jossen and them now, and the big draw he said should also be prepared. ”

......

In the days that followed, Harvey and the owners of the theater chain finally settled on a plan for the premiere after painstaking negotiations.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of September 21, "The Killer's Tragedy" will be screened simultaneously in 35 theaters in six cities, and there will be two consecutive screenings on this night.

As long as the box office data can meet expectations, then other theaters will also be released one after another!

And Tang Feng has already made a plan with Qiao Sen and them, not only to hold a discount lottery throughout East Los Angeles, but also to hold the same event in other shopping malls.

This time, Johnson managed to convince the board of directors to fully support his plan throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

On the third day before the film's release, stores large and small in East Los Angeles were already plastered with movie posters.

Anyone who buys a designated item and reaches a certain amount of consumption can receive a lottery card, which can be scratched on the spot to see if they have won the lottery.

As long as the winner holds the raffle card, he can go to the shopping mall to claim the reward with the card before the weekend.

There are five tiers of prizes, and the fifth prize will receive a $5 voucher with a winning ratio of 15 percent.

The fourth prize is a three-day movie ticket on the weekend, with tickets ranging from six to eight dollars, and according to the principle of proximity, all tickets from local theaters, and the winning rate is 10%.

The third prize or above is the physical prize, and the third prize is an electric shaver, plus a couple movie ticket with a serial number, and the winning rate is 5%.

The second prize is a new microwave oven and five movie tickets for the family carnival, with a winning rate of 3%.

The highest first prize, the prize is a color TV set plus a family movie ticket, and the winning rate is 1%.

Wool naturally comes from sheep!

The cunning Jossen joined forces with other merchants to replace almost all the price tags.

Therefore, even if they even toss hard with discounts and lotteries, they will definitely make a lot of money in the end.

Not only them, but Kane also took the lead in doing the same in his own bar.

However, he is more generous, and during the three days of the weekend, as long as he spends more than a certain amount, he will give away a movie ticket for the next day.

Restaurateur Steven has launched a weekend package where anyone who buys a set menu will also get a movie ticket.

Driven by them, other businesses have also launched similar activities, all hoping to make a fortune through the release of the movie.

While the event was in full swing, the movie had not yet been released, and Tang Feng and his movie "The Killer's Tragedy" once again became a topic of discussion in East Los Angeles.

Even in other regions, his name will be mentioned often, and if there is a hot search list at this time, he will definitely be on the list!

Similarly, this unprecedented promotion has also attracted the attention of major media.

Tang Feng not only appeared on the pages of major newspapers, but also accepted interviews with several television stations, and even entertainment radio channels reported on the matter.

It can be said that for the past two days, everyone has been asking the same question, "Who is Sean?"

"How much background and influence does he have to let so many people toss with him?"

"What kind of movie is "Killer Tragedy", and what kind of story does it tell?"

In just over a day, the name Sean Taylor Don, like a virus, spread rapidly through the Los Angeles area and continued to spread outward at a breakneck pace.

And his movie "The Killer's Tragedy" has also become the most anticipated movie in a short period of time......

For such a result, not only Qiao Sen and Tang Feng did not expect it, but even Harvey, who is well-informed and has already made a lot of fame in Hollywood, did not expect it.

"Oh my God, Sean, do you know how many calls I took today?"

"It's all called to ask about you, you know what, you're the hottest star in Hollywood now!"

"There are still some shameless ones, who actually bother me to ask for tomorrow's movie tickets!"

"Please, where am I going to get them so many movie tickets?"

Although Tang Feng was also a little distressed, he was more excited!

"I don't know what tomorrow's premiere will look like, but I hope they won't scold me when they come out of the cinema!"
