If it weren't for Foday's belief that the quality of "Life Remote Control" was not bad, he wouldn't have come to talk these nonsense to Li Xiaole, an ignorant Chinese director, but this kid still doesn't appreciate it? A hairy boy with no experience in the American market dared to teach him a lecture in person? This makes Foudy very angry, do you think you are Tom Cruise!? Dare to talk to me like that!
"I stick to what I do." Li Xiaole didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and turned around and left the president's office after speaking, "Life Remote Control" is a movie filmed by Lianmei, Sony has no right to interfere at all, not to mention that no matter how he curries favor with Foday, this guy is just counting on Tom Cruise, and he doesn't have to negotiate with him.
Fody looked at Jiashi, who didn't take him seriously at all, and was so angry that his mouth was crooked, and he scolded Li Xiaole's back with hatred: "Idiot." ”
Although there is no small conflict, but in any case, the ability of the young Chinese director still exceeded Foday's expectations, Foday wrote a report to Sony headquarters The film is expected to have a box office of 15 million-21 million, which has greatly exceeded expectations, and the investment loss should be less than 10 million.
In other words, the results of "The Lion into the Sheep's Mouth" only need to reach the box office of 80 million, he is not a failure this time, he can hold his position as the nominal CEO, if he can exceed the box office of 100 million, he can completely ease his breath, and he still has hope of turning over at MGM in the future~~
Thinking of this, Foday couldn't help but feel good, but he didn't plan to let Sony invest more publicity support for "Life Remote Control", Sony's approval of the two film distribution budgets in the United States this time is a total of 43.7 million US dollars, which should have been almost half according to the investment, but everyone will think that "The Lion into the Sheep's Mouth" is the key promotion movie this time.
So in the end, the publicity cost of "Life Remote Control" was only a pitiful 7.2 million, and the rest was used for the release of "Lion into the Sheep's Mouth".
Getting this news, Li Xiaole was not surprised, he didn't expect Sony to give him any help in publicity, he clearly knew that his main audience group was men over 25 years old, and now what he needed to do was to impress a small number of them to become diehards of the show, and then promote word of mouth.
For this, of course, he has to use some tricks, very simple, there are usually only a few topics that men are interested in, beauties, cars, technology, IT, Li Xiaole quickly caught one of them, ha, IT man, this is simply the most suitable audience for "Life Remote Control", and Jobs, Apple, plus future technology? Smartphones that are already coming soon~~ Isn't this all together attractive?
On Wednesday night, because Lei Ting was busy with the organization of the pre-propaganda work, Li Xiaole could only stay alone in the apartment, eating instant noodles while jihua, when suddenly the doorbell rang.
When she opened the door, before Li Xiaole could react, Scarlett, who was wearing a long black trench coat and sunglasses on her face, had already walked in in in a charming manner.
"I guess you must have used your special abilities to read my heart's 'Welcome, please come in.'" Li Xiaole closed the door speechlessly, turned his head and looked at Scarlett helplessly, this beauty is really not afraid of scandals, and always runs to her side......
"No, I think you're saying in your heart 'I hate it, why is it her again'" Scarlett showed a lazy and charming smile and rushed straight to Lei Ting's bedroom to turn on her computer.
"Don't dream, what Lei Ting put in the computer, even if Bill Gates comes, he may not be able to find it." Li Xiaole followed up with an instant noodle bowl and said with a pout.
"Who said I was looking for my picture?" Scarlett looked at all kinds of unknown software and dense programs on the computer, and could only quibble helplessly with her mouth open, but she knew that Lei Ting was not at home so she came to look for her photos.
"That is, you write the word 'thief' on your face, and you really can't recognize it if you don't speak English." Li Xiaole took a bite of noodles and said.
"Hah! Then you're mistaken~" Scarlett took off her trench coat, revealing a purple tight woolen sweater, gently brushed her hair, turned her head and looked at him angrily: "I'm not here today for anything else, I'm here to question you!" ”
"Questioning what?" Li Xiaole sat back at his computer desk without raising his eyes.
"Weishenme's "Life Remote Control" starred me, and the investment was 30 million US dollars, but I couldn't see my poster in any theater!?" Scarlett stared at Li Xiaole with her rippling blue eyes and asked.
"Because...... I don't need such vulgar propaganda, there is already a new jihua...... I've found a good ambassador. Li Xiaole felt Scarlett's charming aura spraying on his face, and seemed to feel that Scarlett's face had passed a safe distance from him, so he couldn't help but retreat a little.
"What are you hiding, am I a cactus? Will it stab you? Scarlett was suddenly annoyed by Li Xiaole's reaction, and if she couldn't seduce him, she didn't succeed, and now she even showed a disgusted expression, sister, I am the third sexy woman in the United States in "Charm...... Beyoncé, López are in the back, what is he when I? Neurotic to come to rob in the middle of the night? You've seen my nude photos, but you're still indifferent? What does that mean!?
"I'm afraid you'll hit me......" Li Xiaole said innocently with a bubble face in his mouth, but he remembered the way Scarlett, a femme fatale, was furious.
"Alas...... That day, I was just too angry. Scarlett suddenly thought of the violent side she showed when she met for the first time, and immediately put away her aggressive expression, lowered her head and chin in her mouth, made a girlish shyness, and gently nodded Li Xiaole's arm:
"If you want me to be your ambassador, you can say it earlier, and I can give you a discounted price......"
"Do you feel like you're twisting your image in front of me right now...... It's a little too late......" Li Xiaole shook his head and sighed: "Besides, the propaganda ambassador I need is not you." This Hollywood good girl probably pretends to be more obedient in front of the camera, and her real personality is even more reckless.
"Really~?" Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that it was useless for him to pretend in front of Li Xiaole, anyway, he had also seen the nude photos, and he had also seen all kinds of dark sides, but he became more relaxed, and his tone was no longer so pretentious, and he looked at him with disdain and said:
"Li, you don't seem to understand, there is no other publicity value in the crew except me, Matthew's popularity is no longer the "Friends" period a few years ago."
"Who said I was going to use him as a publicity ambassador, my trump card is here......" Li Xiaole couldn't hide his smugness and put down the instant noodles, seeing that the time was almost up, he also turned on the Apple computer in front of him, and after entering the page, he clicked on the video call button, crossed Erlang's legs and waited for about five minutes, and the other party finally responded.
Jobs's sage face covered with stubble appeared in the small window of the screen, Li Xiaole deliberately pretended not to care and turned his head to look at Scarlett, but the subtext in his heart was, how about it, isn't our propaganda ambassador awesome~?
Scarlett opened her lips slightly, and was stunned for a long time before she turned around to avoid the range of the camera, looked at Li Xiaole in disbelief and exclaimed: "This sloppy old man is your so-called trump card?" ”
"What...... This scruffy old man ......!? Li Xiaole's mouth stiffened, and he had nothing to say to Scarlett, a tech idiot, and he even had some doubts about whether the talented actress who was dedicated to acting didn't even know Bill Gates......
"Lee, have you already read the documents I faxed?" Jobs on the other side of the computer didn't pay attention to their conversation, his expression was a little haggard and asked, obviously because of the high-intensity work consumed a lot of energy, but he looked at Li Xiaole's eyes were radiant, the recent rapid progress in iPhone research and development work has put the entire R&D team in a kind of surprise.
"Steve, I've seen it, those are all minor problems, I'll pass the solution to you within three days, this should be a batch of problems for iPhone testing zuihou, right?" Li Xiaole nodded.
"Well, I think it's a pity that we Jishu can't fully realize all the ideas you put forward for the time being." Jobs smiled a little regretfully: "But this first-generation product is amazing enough, and I plan to develop it in late April." ”
Li Xiaole is not surprised by this situation, the design he proposed is the design of iphone4S, but Apple's current jishu cannot achieve all the functions of 4S, but the development of the iphone generation is more than enough, so calculated, his cooperation with Jobs made the iphone market nearly a year earlier, right?
"Steve, now that I'm done working on the R&D team, I can do what you promised me." Li Xiaole looked at him and said.
"Okay...... I think this is a bit ridiculous, but I've signed up for a Facebook account as you said. Jobs looked a little helpless and touched his glasses.
"Well, next, I will set up a promotional website for my movie "Life Remote Control", and you will send out some new Apple gadgets in my movies on Facebook every day to promote our movie." Li Xiaole instructed:
"Remember, first you have to learn to exaggerate, explain that Apple Formula is about to release a technology product that changes Shijie in April, how epoch-making the iPhone is, you can describe it, but remember not to reveal what this new product is......"
"If you don't tell others what it is, how can it play a propaganda role." Jobs asked with a frown.
"Steve, don't worry~!! Hear me out! Li Xiaole couldn't help but drink him with a calm face, and Jobs immediately closed his mouth honestly.
I really don't know how those Apple fans would feel if they saw that Jobs, who only taught others a lesson, would be taught by a young man in his 20s......
