Chapter 123: Hyping up a romance
"Huh? How did you end up here? At the end of the shooting, Roland, who rubbed his face and decided to fight in the afternoon, just turned his head and found a blonde loli, who was teasing Mary who was with the group but couldn't shoot smoothly.
The figure of a big and a small person whispering together made him raise his eyebrows, and the sudden spinning brain made him a little confused - hiss...... Isn't "Home Alone 2" already filmed? Why is this guy still running after me?
"What do you say? Of course I'm here for you. β
Looking at the bewildered Roland, a helpless smile appeared on Ivanka's face, looking at Roland, she understood that this guy didn't take himself seriously at all, he was purely a tool for using each other.
"Oh, yes, Marvel ......"
Roland, who came to his senses, slapped his hands, and he was still shocked by the filming process with a confused face, squeezing out a bright smile, and he walked forward quickly, his eyes were full of excitement after the successful confession, but the perfunctory before the face change made the current touch extremely hypocritical, especially after adding Chi Guoguo's money remarks, the smell of copper all over his body directly made Mary on the side feel that the relationship between Roland and the blonde big sister did not seem to be as good as the sister just said.
"How much copyright? How much? How long is the expiration date? How many years? β
Quick and accurate questioning, straight to the point, if you get on the horse and pull out a gun, you will definitely be considered a fast gunner.
But Ivanka doesn't bother with this, and she doesn't even think there's anything wrong with using each other.
"Full copyright, a total of six million, 20 years of statute of limitations, recalculate the time when a work is launched."
When she received a call from Roland that night and learned that her nominal future boyfriend had a plot against Uncle Carl's comic book company rights, Ivanka decisively told her dad about it - well, she had to admit that she was actually staying with his dad when Roland called that night.
After seeing the needs listed by Roland, Comrade Chuan Jianguo did not say much in front of his daughter, since the long-term bundled plans A and B cannot be implemented, there is still no problem with short-term transactions.
No, didn't Roland just put forward his own trading demands!
As for why Roland wants the game copyright?
Chuan Jianguo didn't care so much at all, and when he pushed the news to his old friend, Carl Icahn, who only thought about squeezing Marvel, also felt natural, Spielberg's people, isn't it normal to like comics?
You know, when George Lucas was tinkering with "Star Wars", because the audience response to the film was not strong, only Spielberg supported his old friend, in that case, this pair of young people, that was a sword to the edge, chose to cooperate with Marvel at that time, and released a set of six-issue "Star Wars" movie comic book version, and even once refreshed the record of the highest single issue sales since the emergence of American comics. In front of the ex-convicts, let alone asking for game copyrights, even if Roland proposed to them that he wanted to take over Marvel after they stopped playing, they would be able to understand it......
In this way, continuing to sell the copyright to him is just one of many transactions in their lives.
Not only that, in order to show Spielberg's sincerity, they packaged everything else that Roland wanted for the character except toys and comic book copyrights, and the transaction amount was ......
There really are only six million packed.
Because Marvel is worthless this year, and the high stock price that is about to break through $30 is just a fictitious value that Perelman forcibly pushed up through large-scale mergers and acquisitions. As long as you can make money, it has nothing to do with them!
What's more, isn't he saving his old friend's life now? The copyright is even less valuable than Roland's joint value.
"All of them? Only six million? As in the movie, can the liquidation be reset? β
"Oh, that's really good......"
When Roland heard the price equivalent to an indefinite free gift, the smile on his face became even brighter, holding Mary in one hand, and reaching out to Ivanka with the other, and said, "It's noon, let's go, go to dinner......"
"Don't look at it as a working meal for the crew, but it's even better than the restaurant outside......"
"Maybe it's because this is Morgan's property, right? The chef was great......"
Although Ivanka really wanted to complain, 'If I didn't bring you such a satisfactory price, wouldn't you even want to invite me to eat the crew's working meal', but as soon as she thought about the photographer who came with her, she swallowed her snobbish complaint, yes, the transaction, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other......
I will sell you all the copyrights, and you give me the love photos and pay them in one lump sum, and you don't owe each other.
Because of this, when Roland and Ivanka were eating in the crew restaurant, almost everyone could see that the photographer brought by Ivanka was just outside the window, flying into the sky, they were like Spider-Man possessed, Batman possessed, and used various difficult actions to 'secretly photograph' everything related to it......
Yes, the so-called crew Reuters photos are often released by themselves.
This is actually a very simple question, in private territory, which is sacrosanct, once I break into the territory illegally, I will take out my gun and shoot, where did those paparazzi reporters get so many Reuters photos of the crew?
It is true that in various studios, there are all kinds of crews, but if you want to enter the door of the studio, you have to rely on documents, especially after Spielberg's non-identity office, everyone is very close to the door, and if they want to touch it, they are not wearing the invisibility cloak sold on a certain treasure, or they are eating the face fruit of Shanks.
And the exterior scenes, not to mention.
Unless it's on the road, it's basically private property, take the ranch where Roland is staying now, which paparazzi reporter can buy up and down and get into the ancestral property of the Morgan family?
In other words, if they can really get through, then they are still a fart paparazzi!
Isn't it good to fly straight into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?
As for sneaking in?
Before you know how much the message is worth, life is the most important thing.
In this way, the so-called real gossip is actually only focused on hotel doors, airport doors, and street photography......
Therefore, the photographer's brother-like movements did not arouse everyone's interest at all, and Roland was also very good at cooperating with them, after the table, he kept smiling on his cheeks, regardless of whether he was eating or communicating, the corners of his mouth were never put down, of course, if it was with the topic they were talking about, it would be no better at all.
"When my dad asked me to bring things over, he also asked you, "Jurassic", when are you going to shoot?"
Everything is in the service of movies, which Chuan Jianguo naturally knows.
He already knew the publicity arrangements on Fox's side, but the problem was that according to Fox's plan, the warm-up period for "Home Alone 2" was early October, the bombing period was at the end of October, and the movie would be officially launched on Thanksgiving......
According to the contract, Roland only needs to leave the group after his own role in "Jurassic" is completed, but the problem is that the contract belongs to the contract, and the person belongs to the person, if he doesn't finish filming with the group, the director can peel off his skin.
And if Roland doesn't show up during the publicity period, then-
How can Ivanka's affairs be fried?
If there is no entertainment program, it is not enough to rely on the promotion of photo tabloids and the volatilization of gossip.
In this way, Sichuan Jianguo is naturally anxious.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to give the copyright, he also asked his daughter to find out.
You see, whether you want it or what you don't want, I've given it to you. β
If you don't say a word, aren't you kidding me?' β
Of course, they also have a solution.
"What my dad means is that if you don't have time for filming, they can have FOX News come and interview the crew."
"Of course, if the director agrees."
"FOX News? No problem, I can cooperate. Hearing this, Roland nodded.
He never refuses to be interviewed.
Because there is no public opinion heat, isn't that equivalent to being out of gas?
What's more, if you are mixed in this circle, no one thinks that they have more exposure.
What kind of acting school, the award-winner, isn't it also for fame?
And how does this name embody it?
Don't you have to go through the heat of public opinion?
I went to great lengths to win the Oscar, and then with the media publicity, I became famous all over the world, and in the end?
Isn't it that countless exposures that made you famous?
went around in a big circle, installed a high-end beep, and then on the way you pretended to beep, the guy who joined the business not only made a lot of money, but also became more famous than you, the point is, even if you win the award, the filmmaker will give the invitation to the commercial coffee first......
Angry or not?
So the old drama bones are sprayed!
Where did the old drama bone that bit 61.8 million yuan go?
Learn from Chen Pingping, don't take money!
Regardless of whether it is a commercial transfer to a credit award, or a credit to a business, it is actually for fame and fortune.
A saint who is truly indifferent to fame and fortune will not enter this circle at all!
And the best embodiment port is the heat of public opinion.
Therefore, when the hindsight Roland found out that 'Lao Tzu's propaganda period may be crowded by the old man', he pulled the lunch chop into his stomach, wiped his mouth directly with his hand, and then leaned to Spielberg's side and whispered: "Steven? β
"What? Aren't you having a lively conversation with your girlfriend? β
The old man with glasses glanced at the dining table where Roland was sitting, and saw that his assistant went to negotiate with Ivanka's photographer and asked to see the shooting negatives, then he turned his head with a smile and said, "Is your girlfriend happy to come to see you?" β
βheiοΌβ In the face of that joking, Roland slapped his thigh with a crying face.
"Steven, don't joke with me, okay? I'm looking for you for business. β
"Business? Isn't it the right thing for you to accompany your girlfriend now? The old man asked with a wink of eyebrows.
βOhοΌ Are you serious? Roland clenched his fists with five fingers and hammered down the table, and with his movements, the knife and fork that had been suddenly provoked fell instantly, hitting the porcelain plate with a crisp sound.
The frustrated performance caught the attention of those around them, but when they looked away and saw Spielberg watching Roland perform alone with one hand on his cheek, the guys turned their heads again......
Eat well, drink well, and be normal......
After this period of time, the two of them don't know how many times they have scolded each other, no matter what it is, it has nothing to do with them!
Originally...... If Spielberg was really angry, he would have grabbed Roland by the collar and threw him to the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish!
Roland can bear slapping the table and scolding, doesn't it prove that they are joking!
Then they guys, don't worry about it!
And when he saw Roland's eyes glaring like bells, ready to perform a live fist swallowing fist, the old man did not continue to joke, but knocked on the table with five fingers and said, "Say, what do you want to do?" Leave? It's impossible......"
"Everyone can please, don't think about it."
"If you want to accompany Ivanka, shoot casually in the ranch, and just go out!"
"Who wants to be with her?" Roland rolled his eyes, his skull aching.
"I just want to ask, how did I participate in the promotion of "Home Alone 2"!"
"Seriously, I haven't participated in publicity since my debut, this time "Home Alone 2", I can't go again, right?"
Roland is telling the truth, the premiere of the movie "Home Alone" was not held, that is, after the box office was released, he participated in the follow-up promotion, and it was considered a stop. And what about Terminator 2? Yishui's public opinion blows the water without the main creative team running the roadshow at all, plus dominating the summer file, in order to avoid attracting hatred, even the follow-up publicity has been stopped. As for "Captain Hook", it is really stained with MJ's light, but even if there is no MV, the promotion of the whole movie has little to do with him, so Roland really has a lot of achievements, and the salary is climbing up step by step, but ......
He hadn't even done a decent one-on-one interview.
No way, the popularity is too high, others find a way to hype, and he can only press it to the death, if the news of you is all 365 days a year, then the public will also have aesthetic fatigue, especially in the process of filming, if there are still strange promotional drafts, then people will subconsciously think that you are not dedicated.
Therefore, the intermittent propaganda is actually protecting himself, and this also makes Roland feel that he has no sense of participation.
I'm sitting at home, and you just print out the interview?
This kind of ghost interview is really a special code!
Of course, the ghost interview is actually the embodiment of the fist, what you give to the media, the media will write whatever content, this is how many people can't ask for treatment! It's also the least error-prone operation!
But then, about things like romance, you can't just scribble a few times, right?
And I have to be involved in this, right?
After all, if something appears in the newspapers 'according to reliable sources', 'according to crew members who do not want to be named', 'according to our investigation'...... Isn't this equivalent to the news of the roadside club!
And the love affair that broke the news from the roadside society?
Who believes!
Just like the analysis article about why the national husband didn't pay back, the masters of the self-media wrote millions of articles, and you sang and I appeared on the stage, but in the end? As soon as his mother helped him pay back the money, everyone knew that the money really couldn't be repaid!
200 million more debts!
This special code is simply the best investor! Except for me, no other shareholders can afford to lose!
However, when Roland told the old man his 'worries' under the banner of 'since it is a transaction, then you have to pay attention to integrity', Spielberg, who finally understood, went around and said: "Oh, are you worried about this? β
"It doesn't matter, whether it's the warm-up media for "Home Alone 2", or the business deal that hypes up the gossip and releases the news, Catherine has already arranged it for you, and I will call her later and ask her to do these things."
"Don't worry, the filming of "Jurassic" will not be delayed, as long as you follow me to finish filming, you don't even have to run the roadshow, all the publicity is done by others, we don't have to worry about it......"
I'm rubbing!
Roland really didn't know what to say......
Don't you even need me to end up with this thing of romance hype?
This actor is so cool!
Compared with those who need to be open every day in later generations, Roland feels that his life is too nourishing.
Everything is left to the team, and he just thinks about his own business every day......
It's a pity that before Roland's daydream could continue, a basin of cold water poured him cold.
It took more than half a month to shoot all the location scenes in Hawaii, Roland returned to Los Angeles with the crew, and just when he wanted to go home and prepare to live a life from 9 to 6 in the morning, Spielberg dragged him directly to Warner Studios, looking at the huge studio, Roland's head was full of question marks.
Before he could ask, the old man, who had already seen his doubts, said directly: "Universal's studio is too small, and the dinosaur chase and fighting scenes can only be filmed by Warner's factory." β
"And the condition they lent me was to get your first interview."
"Don't worry, it's the cover of People magazine, and we will release the news that you may be in love through an exclusive interview."
"According to market feedback, we are considering whether to release Ivanka with us."
"Na, the manuscript has been written, you memorize it first, just a few questions, it won't be over-outlined......"
Yes!
Everything in the world can be traded!
After learning that Roland was not opposed to the hype of the relationship, the team that had already taken over the public relations work naturally found Time Warner's "People" magazine, ready to sell them the news of the early release, and it happened that "Jurassic" needed to use the studio of Warner Studios, so that the exchange of resources naturally appeared.
Warner lent the studio studio to Spielberg to shoot "Jurassic", and Roland's first interview may involve the big news of the love link, so he naturally got the cover of "People" magazine.
As for why the first wave of romance was promoted by People magazine?
It's all about it!
Before Time Warner's TMZ website appeared, their People magazine was the largest circulation gossip weekly in America! But although they are gossip magazines, they are very serious gossip magazines!
What does that mean? The things published on this are all news of cooperation between artists and the media, which can basically belong to official announcements, and it is precisely because of this that the people will take the news on this more seriously!
Love hype is actually risky.
Whether the public accepts it or not is the key.
If Roland directly announced to the media that Ivanka and I were in love, it would be over, because there would be no chance to regret it!
If the public thinks it's okay, then he's betting right.
If the public thinks it can't be done, it will be a great blow to him.
And in this case, it is only at the mercy of destiny.
But if the love news is released through "People", it is equivalent to testing the market first.
Eh, I'm probably in love.
If the market reacts well, then a photo of him and Ivanka will be released through the gossip tabloid "New York Post" owned by Fox, and if the market reaction is not good, then Roland will not have to release love news.
Testing the market is actually one of the things that all hype must do first.
The kind of stuffiness and hype that was written in the book succeeded......
That's dreaming.
Test the market first, and then judge whether to continue according to the market's reaction, if the hype continues, find gossip media to put street photography, if it's okay, then you can be on the TV show and answer the host's questions!
That's right, in Hollywood under the industrial system, the so-called propaganda has to look at the right media!
Because you chose the wrong media, announcing it directly on a talk show may mean a catastrophe.
This is not a problem that can be solved by one person, and a team that can communicate directly with the presidents and chairmen of the eight major congresses by phone can minimize the risk of all hype......
That's the power of the Jewish gang.
Not only resources, but the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain.
They know where to make the hype, and even if they can't get the water back, they can stop the whole thing!
So, when Roland took the page that the old man stuffed into him and looked at the questions on it, he really didn't feel sorry at all - what was going on? Why is there no challenge at all?
Shouldn't it be like Jingquan Gege and Xiaolu, and make a direct official announcement?
Of course, this kind of stinky fart idea is just his foolishness, after all, who doesn't want to walk up safely?
If you don't have resources, you can only gamble on your life, and if you have resources, I can watch others gamble......
It's like a Russian turntable.
Watching others play is really exciting!
Play by yourself, who wants to gamble their lives?
In this way, when Roland saw that the official could not be in the official words, he ......
Just want to laugh.
It's nice to have this feeling of not having to worry about anything......
Regardless of what you say, the situation of the agent's arrest, at least it will not appear to him.
And when the reporter arrived, Roland also memorized the words.
"My name is Roland Allen and I was born on January 1st, '80...... My parents were killed in the San Francisco earthquake on October 17, '89, and I will always remember that day because my desire since I was a child was to be different from my parents, but from that day on, my mother's regret prompted me to embark on the path of acting......"
ββ¦β¦ Yes, it was indeed Uncle David who helped me get the audition for "Home Alone", and I am also very grateful to them, although living with them makes it easy for me to recall the past, but the warmth they gave me can make me strong out of that dark experience, and their support is also the key to my current ......"
ββ¦β¦ That's right, it was Director Chris who recommended me to audition for "Captain Hook", and during the audition, Charles, who participated with me, was actually Director James's first choice, but Charles was selected by Director Steven, so Director James asked me to go to his place to see ......"
"Yes, yes, I'm interested in acting, probably because I often find time to ask them for advice on set, right? So they were very impressed with me, and the success of the two movies also had a certain amount of luck, after all, no one can guarantee that I can sell more than 500 million yuan if I make a movie, right? β
"Talk about the sequel to Home Alone 2 and Jurassic Park, which is being filmed? No problem......"
"It's actually a normal thing to have a sequel, just like Ashley and Mary's TV series, fans love it, that's our honor, and we want to give something better to everyone...... And "Jurassic", director Steven was very good to me...... Well, I'll be honest, on the day of the audition for "Captain Hook", Director James and Director Steven were talking about the project, maybe because I was the first to hear it, right? So when it came time to cast, let me try ......"
"Really, to be able to work with director Steven twice in a row, it's like a dream."
"Is there anyone you like? Oh...... This question is really ...... If you have seen my schedule, you will find that I haven't had much rest in the past two years, and there are no girls about my age in the movie project, so ...... Oh? You say someone is chasing me? Well, well, that's exactly what happened......"
"I'm so handsome, if no one is chasing me, isn't that a lie?"
"Normal communication, if it's confirmed, then I will definitely share my joy with everyone......"
The problem Roland faced was very simple, and when the president of Warner accompanied Spielberg to divide the studio, Warner's reporters did not dare to embarrass Roland, so when he was called to stay up late to shoot the dinosaur chase scene, the reporter's voice recorder was already filled with half an hour of interview dialogue.
Looking at the figure that ran away quickly, the special reporters of "People" were not surprised, they didn't even want to care, what kind of deal was behind the interview, they only knew that Roland revealed a lot of real news to themselves today......
With the clatter of reporters in high heels, thousands of pieces of white paper were also fed into the machine, the ink and lead characters were repeatedly printed, and finally formed, and bundles of magazines were transported by plane...... On Labor Day in September, when people enjoying the holidays pass by newsstands, the center of the booth has been occupied by the latest issue of People, and under Roland's cover photo, a line of bold black letters attracts people's attention: Roland Allen, Hollywood's first child star's first interview.
After seeing this slogan, people kept dropping change and grabbing magazines in all corners of America.
"A copy of People, thank you."
As the largest toilet reading book in America, it has a circulation of more than 3 million, which means that on Labor Day, at least 3% of the people learned a message through this magazine......
Roland also thinks that he is very handsome, and he is now being chased backwards......
