Arad was dissatisfied with Kevin's aggressiveness, and this radicality gradually spread within Marvel with the 400 million box office of "Spider-Man", which almost endangered the core principles that Marvel had always adhered to, and under such a trend, Arad had to agree to a tentative cooperation between Kevin and Lionsgate.

Although this is contrary to the duties of the head of Marvel, Arad is more biased towards the failure of this project.

Marvel must wait until there is a good enough chance of success before choosing to transform, otherwise, they may lose the whole of Marvel.

However, this time, Daniel's appearance made Kevin see greater hope, yes, if Daniel joins in and replicates the publicity model this time, coupled with Daniel's inertia assurance that he never misses, the probability of success of "The Punisher" will rise by at least two to three percent.

"Yes, we saw the success of Greek Wedding, and we can indeed assert it at this time. However, the disadvantages of this method are also obvious to all, the network is open, and Shanying and MB will also accept other people's cooperation applications. This means that the threshold for this new form of propaganda is low. The next films, I think, whether they are suitable or not, will swarm up. However, the Internet will not be all fools, after being deceived by one bad movie and two bad movies, do you think this kind of propaganda method still has enough credibility? Can we still have the results we have now? And, with everyone's popularity, the cost of this type of publicity is sure to rise significantly. According to the information we have gotten, we can know that DD Pictures invested as much as 5 million in publicity for this promotion, and their production cost is only about 10 million. They are small system zuò. It's okay to give up the regular propaganda and break through from the Internet, but is it okay with our "The Punisher"? Kevin. Even if you agree, Brenner won't agree, and Lionsgate won't allow you to put your treasure on the Internet. This, then, means that we have to bear both types of propaganda at the same time - and the cost will be multiplied. The investment pressure will also be multiplied - the consequences that Marvel will have to bear in the event of failure, as well as the damage to the subsequent possibilities. It will also be immeasurable.

I don't think this investment should be complicated anymore. ”

Even though Kevin knew what was going on in Arad's heart, he couldn't argue with him. Marvel's inertia is still strong, and emerging trends are still struggling. Kevin sighed, this time the collaboration was obviously going to be aborted.

……

Twelve o'clock sharp.

The box office of "Greek Wedding" exceeded 1.8 million.

Fourteen o'clock sharp.

The box office came to the 2.5 million line.

Sixteen o'clock sharp.

The box office lived up to expectations, soaring by a million. Climb to 3.5 million.

……

Daniel let out a long breath. "Yes, now I can go filming with peace of mind, and the rest of the work depends on you."

Yes, Daniel needs to be in the Fake Gods.

This is the first time he has shot such a straightforward comedy film, which is somewhat exciting, not to mention, it is Morgan who is working with him. Old-timers like Freeman. and Jennifer. Aniston is a popular comedy star.

Although everyone is still a little uneasy about Daniel letting go, the current success has given them enough confidence. Seeing that everyone did not speak. Daniel laughed.

"You've created a new era of film promotion, you know, as long as you go out from here, there will be a lot of companies with high salaries to invite you, even production groups at the level of Paramount and Fox. What I want to say is that I will not stop you, and I encourage you to go better and higher. There are some things that are trade secrets, and I'm sure you all have enough professional ethics, but more often than not, you can give your experience to the new company. ”

After a pause, Daniel winked playfully.

"However, we will not hesitate to charge a penalty - I'm sure you don't have to pay for it."

Everyone was amused.

This is a matter of course, as long as this team leaves the publicity work of "Greek Wedding", it will definitely be seen by the entire Hollywood aspiring publicity department, most of them will not continue to stay in DD, Mountain Eagle and MB, but will go to different companies and different positions.

Daniel had no intention of putting obstacles, and in fact, he couldn't. What's more, the work is not completely technical, and imitation and plagiarism are not that difficult. In that case, why not give it to your friends and give each other some convenience. Maybe there will be a time for cooperation in the future.

"Danny, isn't it too early to say this, we have at least a month left to work."

This is just a screening, if you want to go through it, there will be a lot of work to be done after the national release in September, and this team will of course have a considerable amount of time to work together.

"Yes."

"Daniel, do you want to blast us away so early?"

"We still have to attend the celebration party."

Daniel looked at the team with emotion, and there were almost tears in his eyes, and now that the busy day and night had finally paid off, how touching and happy it was—well, there was some element of performance.

Letting everyone get back to work, Daniel went back to the office.

"How much box office do you predict today?"

"The number of screens in theaters is increasing, and I think it is conceivable that it will rise to about 7 million." Daniel's prediction is actually quite bold, although the next 8 hours are the time for the screening, but a lot of potential is consumed in the previous booking. Then it is indeed quite difficult for them to contribute 3.5 million yuan.

"I think it's about the same if there are 6 million, so that the contribution of a single screen is more than 10,000. Oh my God, I've seen countless dollars. ”

Daniel looked at the intoxicated David amusedly.

"Yes, you're going to be the CEO of a billion-dollar studio soon, congratulations, Mr. David."

"It's unbelievable, Claire won't believe it, neither will the little red sausage, nor will the housewives of East Freybach."

"You're enough."

……

MB, more and more people are paying attention to the live broadcast of the box office.

Box office numbers can always be exciting, it's like someone who has won hundreds of millions of lotteries, which has nothing to do with you, but will still attract you to check and even fantasize about how to spend the money.

And at this time, it is the first time to see the box office growth of a movie in real time, and the stimulation for ordinary people is very intuitive.

This also depends on the fact that the film is only screened in the Los Angeles area, which is impossible to do if it is expanded to several major cities, or even the whole of the United States.

190,000, 200,000, 270,000, 1.34 million, 1.8 million, 2.5 million, 3.5 million, every update becomes a carnival on MB.

MB's registered users are also skyrocketing, and the audience attracted by the Greek Wedding campaign is generally active, motivated, interested and executing people, the most coveted user group on the Internet.

Javier was in a very good mood at this time.

He knew what Daniel had planned, and there were things that were going to be closer to MB.

After the release of the movie, all kinds of merchants who have cooperated with MB and even blogger will be able to give discounts to consumers who enter from MB and blogger's Internet portals if they hold movie tickets for "Greek Wedding".

This is another wave of carnival, and Javier can already anticipate how terrible the cooperation between MB and PayPal, which has just been acquired by eBay, will have a terrible effect, thanks to the advanced investment and strong technical reserves of bloggers in this field, MB has gone very smoothly from the beginning. It can be said that most of the package of ideas that Daniel mentioned to Evan at that time were eventually fed back to MB, and user attraction, profit models, technology trends, etc., all appeared on MB.

Evan sometimes jokes about this when he talks to Daniel on the phone, saying that Daniel has been calculating bloggers and Google.

But Daniel's answer is, of course, straightforward: it's normal to calculate Google, but it's indisputable that both he and Evan are beneficiaries.

Silicon Valley and Wall Street have their eyes on MB, while Hollywood and the entertainment media industry have set their sights on the box office of "Greek Wedding."

They thought that there was no connection between the two, MB and DD were collaborators, DD Pictures was the territory of entertainment media in the direction of Hollywood, and MB was in the financial Internet field in the direction of Silicon Valley. But what they didn't expect was that this qiē had an incomparably concentrated central point -- Daniel.

His company registered abroad is the absolute controlling shareholder of MB, DD Pictures is also under his control, and even Shanying, an important technology partner involved in it, is also his company—this qiē starts with him, revolves around him, and eventually returns wealth and influence to them.

Who would have thought?

The C.I.A. may have some track record, but these industries and close stakeholders have generated billions of dollars in wealth, and the reach is much more impressive, and at such a scale, it is not so easy for the CIA to do anything, let alone reveal it to their sworn enemies, the media.

Those who know this will only be in awe of Daniel – whether it's his partner, his employees, or his friends.

……

Under the uninterrupted high-intensity work of the team, soon, the time node of 18 o'clock was ushered in.

This is the end of the day, and it will also start the box office harvest battle of the evening.

Whether the single screen of "Greek Wedding" can break 10,000 - reach the level of a high-hit movie, a trace may be seen from the number of 18 points.

"The number of visits to our homepage in just ten minutes has exceeded 600,000!"

One of MB's employees stationed here suddenly screamed, which was of course the backstage number he had received from his colleagues.

600,000 - 1/10 MB users at this time. (To be continued......)
