Chapter 101: The Second Dealer and the MV are broadcast

The founders of IMDb are coming?

Although Roland had already hit the other party with his idea, he didn't expect that in this era when the Internet of Everything was not as strong as later generations, that movie fanatic would turn the opportunity to meet idols into reality within half a year.

Hewlett-Packard's researchers in the UK do not stay in the research laboratory to ponder the project, but come to the Silicon Valley headquarters to study on a business trip?

Not to mention that the research directions of various branches of technology companies are not the same, just this time is too coincidental, right?

Mohami, who is immersed in games, may not have paid attention to the entertainment news of the outside world, but Roland, the recent news in the circle, is well understood, "Captain Hook" will be released in December, with the blessing of various giants, Sony held a premiere for the whole movie, which is naturally a natural thing, and without announcing a specific date, IMDb founder Cole Niedhan actually directly reserved the whole December?

It's not an overt attempt to tell them that I have time in December and that I can be there if I have the chance!

Look at my sincere eyes, send me an invitation!

What is the difference between such behavior and fighting the landlord directly?

If you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, if the uncle and aunt don't give him a super double, then I'm sorry for him!

However, although he was deeply surprised, Roland accepted it with a smile.

"No problem, "Captain Hook" premieres in December, I'll get him a ticket then, hey, by the way, are you coming?"

"Let's ......" Mohami glanced around, because he was pulling Roland aside to talk, so the brothers in those companies didn't know what they were thinking about in this corner, "If you give a ticket, then of course we are willing to go." ”

"It's like the company has a holiday for the annual meeting in advance."

The affirmative answer made Roland high-five and patted it, and while inviting them to go to the movie, he didn't forget to tell this guy to bring a message to the other party, "Didn't you say before that Cole used to make games?" ”

"You asked him to bring his old work."

"What's the point of meeting and chatting with Steven!"

"Since everyone loves games, let's sit back and play slowly."

As Roland said this, Mohami, who was listening, kept nodding his head.

Since the last time he talked to Spielberg, he has found out that this guy is really special and likes to play.

Let Cole Nedham bring his masterpiece over, maybe it can directly enhance everyone's relationship.

Unlike Mohami, who deeply agreed, Roland, who was speechless, found a strange problem.

Steven Spielberg, who loves to play games – succeeded.

Steve Jobs, who made his debut as a gamer, made a success.

Cole Nedhan, who relied on games to accumulate viewing funds - succeeded.

Mike Mohami, who turned down offers from major companies to make his own games - it worked.

Tripp Hawkins, who amassed capital at Apple and switched to making games, succeeded.

Gabe Newell, who left Microsoft to play games – succeeded.

Tut-tut, it seems that it is still a prosperous game!

No way, who let the money of the dead fat house and the little boy be so easy to cheat?

…………

I invited all the silicon and nerve bond companies to rub their heads up and down, to celebrate the opening of their game, and to wish their new work can be successfully developed and launched, and after the sales are on fire, the time has quietly come to September.

With eight weeks of continuous screenings, "Terminator 2", which was entrenched in the summer file, finally retreated.

Although it will continue to schedule films in the township theaters of those remote towns and cities, and show them in mobile drive-in theaters everywhere, the theaters in major cities have invariably lowered the film schedule in accordance with the requirements of the North American Cinema Alliance, and put it into the midnight show, so that those who are tired but want to pursue excitement seek fun.

According to the past, box office movies like "Terminator 2" will not experience such treatment at all, just like "Home Alone", it is a very reasonable thing to postpone it for a few months to half a year, but who made it too ostentatious before?

Now that you've enjoyed the whole summer season, don't go to other schedules!

Because of this, when the number of movies has declined, on September 3, the cassette of "Terminator 2" appeared in major video rental stores in North America, and not only that, but the promotional advertisements shot by the T-1000 also appeared on major TV stations.

Those who want to watch movies, but are not satisfied because of their age, seem to have won a gluttonous feast.

All kinds of bizarre and various rental methods are endless.

Many second-class dealers who had relied on helping people buy rental video tapes in violation of regulations seemed to have seen a great business opportunity, and the bold guys even directly got a batch of cassettes in the rental shop, and then sold them recklessly at the school gate.

Their target group is all high school students who are fifteen or sixteen years old and have money in their pockets, but they can't go to the theater because of family reasons, and when they go to school, they listen to their classmates talk about the content of the film, but because they don't have a common language, they don't fit in.

Selling cassettes at the gate of a school that is not high or low is much better than working to earn money, as for what kind of garbage school and excellent high school? None of this is on their sale!

The former brings together many people at the bottom.

Want to do business seriously in a chaotic gathering place of all colors and ethnicities?

IC, IP, IQ card, tell me the password!

And the latter-

Do you expect to sell movie cassettes at the gates of those aristocratic schools?

Wear a raincoat and knock on the door of a luxury car?

Do you believe that the school security guards who are standing guard and patrolling on the sidelines can beat you out of before those drivers call the police?

'Boss, do you want a saucer?' ’

Go into the bureau and say that!

Of course, no matter how they sell cassettes and how many illegal things these second-class dealers have done, the real sales still make the industry very hot - 8 million sold in a month, and the rental income is still 20 million, taking into account that there are still films scheduled in theaters around the country, this number is still very good.

However, the popularity of a movie is at most about 100 days.

No matter how spoofed "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" is, it just makes "Wuji" scolded for half a year, and-'Chasing dreams, chasing dreams, chasing dreams, circles,

As for the storm video, let alone the audio.

How many people who have used it know that it is dead?

In the era of the Internet, the speed of topic change is fast, and at the moment when traditional media still has spare power, three months is enough to make a popular topic gradually fall silent, not to mention -

When the day gradually entered October, a traffic larger than Roland + Schwarzenegger + Cameron appeared.

Michael Jackson's new album "Dangerous" will be released worldwide on November 26, and not only that, but the music video for "black or white" will premiere simultaneously in 27 countries around the world on October 11.

As a song in response to the problem of skin color, when the title of the song and the time of its premiere came out, fans of the king of pop immediately exploded!

Even if there is no Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram now, Roland, who is at home with a baby, can feel the attention that overflows the dimension.

When I went out shopping with Aunt Garneti, there were MJ's music posters at the entrances of major shopping malls;

When driving past those public facilities, the street corner billboards were all covered by epic records;

Not only that, but even outside the building in the CBD, MJ's stitched images were hung, and this kind of overwhelming publicity made Roland smack.

If the Nike emperor came to Los Angeles in the future, the enthusiasm with which people welcomed him would have reached eight.

The current treatment of MJ is a real ten!

Don't say that Roland has an advertising hallucination, because all of this is what he has experienced!

When I went to the comic book store in the villa to buy comics for James, the boss who was familiar with Roland would ask-

"Oh! Rowland! MJ's single MV premiere on the eleventh? I heard that you also participated in the recording of the music video, how about it, how about it, can you tell us? Talk about the MV? Talking about singles? Tell us about him? ”

Pushing the mother and baby stroller and taking Elizabeth for a walk in the park in the villa area, the neighbor who lives in the local area will ask-

"Wow, Roland, didn't you go to MJ's new song promotion? It was said in the news that you participated in the MV recording of "Black or White", and I thought you had already left with the group......"

Even the technician who came to Roland's house to mow the courtyard lawn would ask-

"Hey, Roland! What's going on with MJ? Since you've recorded a music video with him, you should know something, right? ”

If the guys who live here at Sherman Osk all yearn for the Universal Studios next to it, it's normal to care about MJ, but when David also looked at Roland at the table with a curious look and asked about the MV publicity arrangement, Roland was really-

Dumbfounding.

What kind of international superstar is it? (Tactical backlash.)

If the children's love makes "Home Alone" reach the 500 million hall, if the children's pursuit makes the three days become a fact, if the children's care makes Roland 'no privacy', then-

With MJ, all of Roland's previous encounters are simply a younger brother.

During the Chinese New Year, you were surrounded by fans at the airport?

At the party, was rubbed with oil by an old classmate?

When it was released, it was the most beautiful boy in all of America?

That's right, Roland is indeed very popular now, especially with the blessing of the two movies "Home Alone" and "Terminator 2", he has been able to shake Macaulay Culkin in his previous life, and he can't even see the taillights, but if he and MJ are put together, then the whole world will feel that the current Roland is stained with MJ's light.

That's MJ's MV!

If you rub it in, you will have exposure!

Not only that, but when "Black or White" was hyped, many people also found a problem.

Since September last year, Roland seems to have been active in the news!

In September '90, the red carpet of "Goodfellas" was Roland's first meeting with the media; In November, Home Alone took him to the world; In January, the awkward dance at the Golden Globes boosted box office growth; In July, "Terminator 2" made R-rated films a target for children; And this October, MJ's MV will also have him......

In the following December, "Captain Hook" will be released again......

What the hell is he doing?

If you use the Internet feedback standard of one headline a day and one earthquake every three days to measure Roland's current exposure, it is definitely not enough to see it, but the problem is that now is not the era of a mobile phone in everyone's hand!

A lot of actors don't make headlines once a year!

And what about Roland?

It's like buying a house on the headlines!

The point is that all the news is either a work promotion, or a positive report, the editors who write the manuscript are all talents, and the anchor of the broadcast has a good voice, in this case, anyone likes to stay on it!

Of course, no matter how jealous these guys were, they couldn't change the fact that Roland had spent the whole year in headlines.

However, there is one thing that they are deeply pleased with......

At the time of the premiere of "black or white", they watched the MV on the radio and found that Roland's proportion in the MV was very, very small, except for the clip at the beginning that metaphorically alluded to the reluctance of modern white parents to let their children listen to the songs of black singers, there was no other singing and dancing links, and all the pictures were related to MJ.

These guys thought that Roland, who could play, sing, and jump to kill people, could mix in chorus, group dance, guitar slang and other plots by virtue of the relationship between the Jewish gang and MJ, but now-

MJ or Aung who loves music?

However, if they learn that MJ and the epic record behind him have already written the script for Roland, but after being killed by Spielberg, then these guys will probably find a piece of tofu and kill them directly!

When other people are tearing up resources and stepping on peers in order to fight for positions, Roland, this kid, can pick and choose the plot in MJ's MV? It's really special that people are more popular than dead people!

However, even if the plot is not changed, the focus of Michael Jackson's MV can never be Roland.

On the day of the premiere, when 500 million people watched the MV at the same time, with the appearance of Roland, the audience's minds suddenly popped up with the names of "Home Alone" and "Terminator 2".

It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the impact of racial issues and MJ, the presence of Roland at the beginning is extremely small for the audience, but under the pen of those media reporters and editors, everything is different.

At the beginning of "Black or White", the appearance of the famous child star Roland Allen hints at Michael's dissatisfaction with the current status quo, many young people like his songs, but because of their parents' racial thoughts, their love has become a vice hated by adults, which is despicable; As Michael's lyrics say: 'I firmly believe that everyone is equal, whether you are right or wrong, you can't change this', parents should not use rude methods to deprive their children of interest, everyone is an equal individual, and no one can impose their own ideas and wishes on others......"

β€œβ€˜My life being a color Dont tell me you agree with me’! This is the coolest lyric in the whole song! MJ gave his powerful response! He never lived for a certain color in his life! And the appearance of Roland Allen also makes the race in the whole MV show a delicate balance, I really admire Roland for having the courage to appear in front of the camera, if it was replaced by another actor, he may have refused a long time ago! In reality, he is as brave as in the movie! ”

After seeing the overwhelming broadcast script, Roland's face was full of helpless smiles.

He's brave?

How did he not know it himself?

To be honest, it was in Francis's face that he took on the project at that time.

And after learning that the leader of the MV is MJ, he only has the desire to rub the heat in his heart......

You know, this is 500 million instantaneous traffic in 91 years!

The number of viewers of MJ's MV is much more reliable than the popularity of stinky fish and rotten teeth!

From beginning to end, Roland didn't think about taking the lead.

For him, as long as there is a percentage of the audience who are curious about his appearance, then he earns!

After all, MJ's fan base and Roland's fan base don't coincide!
