On October 31, 1997, Halloween, the death video began to be screened in 500 theaters across the United States under the attention of the whole people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why it is preliminarily set at 500 is that the effect of viral marketing is considered, and because of the news effect that is getting louder and hotter, Wang Jie plans to wait until he can't hold it anymore, and then Miss Paris Hilton will announce the true situation of this movie.

The whole film shown in the cinema does not have the names of the actors, directors or any people behind the scenes, not even the opening credits, which means that there are no markings at all, and of course, there is no grand premiere, no star appearance, no red carpet.

It can even be said that if Paris wants to see this movie, she will buy a ticket to enter like everyone else, and she will be mixed with a large audience.

Of course, Wang Jie quickly registered a film company, and gave it a very loud name, gems, which can be regarded as very suitable for the situation, this kind of leather bag company is simply more than locusts, it is not worth mentioning at all, in fact, Wang Jie asked Anqi's father to handle this matter, basically in Los Angeles, there are many such film companies, and it is very convenient.

The effect of the early publicity is obviously very satisfying to Paris, after all, 20% of the income of the movie belongs to her, after all, she found out that the box office of the movie is strong, although Wang Jie can not be contacted, but vigorously and Robert, the distributor, called and asked for more theaters, she is located in the West Side of Los Angeles at the door of this small movie theater, looking at the long queue, in these crowds of people who buy tickets, not only there are some curious students, but also a lot of middle-aged and elderly people, Completely covers all age groups, that's right, as soon as the movie was released, Paris was already clamoring to increase the number of theaters.

Sitting in the cinema, looking at the people around, the attendance rate here has almost reached seventy percent, except for some side positions, which are basically crowded heads, in such a small movie theater, in such a Halloween, it is already a miracle to have such an attendance rate, and Wang Jie also knows that these people sitting next to him are definitely good propagandists after watching the movie.

There is no prelude. When Paris took the large bucket of popcorn handed over by Nikki. The whole movie theater also goes dark, the movie begins, and Nikki Halloween finally comes back from boarding school, but is pulled over by her sister

This is Paris's first movie, as the "investor" of the film, of course she hopes to see her film on the big screen for the first time, but at this stage, Wang Jie is not ready to reveal that this is a movie, so she can only resist accepting interviews with various media, and fantasizes every day that Wang Jie said that he could confide the truth to the media when he was proud.

There is no opening directly in the darkness, which makes the moviegoers believe that it is real.

A slightly shaky lens, even the fingers on top of the screen can be seen adjusting the lens, and on the opposite side of the lens is a wall, a shadow covering most of the wall, and there is this chair placed there near the wall, etc.

After the camera is completely stabilized, a person can walk into the camera and sit on the chair, and most of the shadow covers the upper body of the person, and only one can feel that it is a man according to the outline. The man sat on the chair, as if he was very uncomfortable facing the camera, his body was constantly writhing, and he was talking with a little slurred.

"I found this tape in a very unexpected situation, at the beginning, I didn't understand the meaning of it, but later, I gradually discovered the meaning of this tape, and after editing it, it was released, hoping that those who know the truth can stand up and tell me all the truth, thank you."

After saying this, the man in the dark stood up and walked around the outside of the camera, and after the sound of approaching footsteps, he saw a hand reaching out from the camera, and the entire screen was instantly filled with snowflakes.

When the screen comes on again, it's in front of a two-story building, and the red-brick two-story building is clearly visible as the West Side Fire Department of Los Angeles, and the voiceover also appears.

Five-four-three-two-one, after reporting the number, a blonde woman walked into the screen,

The words are still tense, making people feel very clearly that this is an intern reporter, for the sorting of clothes, some uncertain noises in the lens, and the constantly reshot shots, it is easy for people to feel its authenticity.

For a full ten minutes, it was a normal follow-up interview, recording everything in the fire station, the lives of the team members, betting, bragging, playing ball, and the real life scenes in the process of waiting for the mission.

Because a lot of the pictures presented on TV are edited images, there are many scenes that don't usually appear on it, swearing, shaking, and jokes.

A sudden mission begins to arouse curiosity, with dilapidated apartments, firefighters, and police officers arriving early, and the shaking camera really looks like a home video.

Seeing that this is a very common task to save people, it was just an old woman's accidental fall, when the firefighters and the police controlled the scene, the old woman's sudden outburst plunged the scene into chaos, she bit directly on the neck of one of the policemen like a mad dog, and the camera can see that the large piece of flesh was bitten off.

But this kind of chaos has just begun, the closed apartment, the constant alarm bells outside, so that the people in the apartment began to be overwhelmed, the wounded lost too much blood and needed treatment, but it was at this time that a firefighter fell directly from the upper floor, the dead cleaner, the old woman who was killed, everything was more chaotic and more confusing, the police who shot it, and the reporters who witnessed it all showed some signs of collapse.

From the continuous exclamations of everyone in the movie theater, it is obvious that they are driven by the plot, which also makes their curiosity even stronger.

As the house was blocked little by little, the doors and windows were tightly nailed, the escape routes were closed, quarrels were inevitable, and even soldiers with guns appeared outside the window, coupled with the complete cut off of communications, it completely collapsed the people in the house.

And the sudden appearance of the firefighter who broke his leg in the hall also made the veterinarian seem to have found the key to the matter, these people seem to have rabies, those symptoms are like signs of rabies, such an explanation also makes many people in front of the big screen begin to believe that it is rabies, of course, some people are questioning, such rabies seems to be attacking too quickly.

And the following epidemic prevention personnel entered, bitten, isolated, and the source began to be found, and the sick little girl played by Taylor caused a series of chaos, first her mother was bitten, followed by the remaining policeman, and all the sick people also swarmed out, although the people in the room died one by one, and the female reporter completely collapsed.

The last ten minutes of night vision made everyone nervous, and everything in the attic gradually revealed the reason why the whole thing happened, and when the humanoid monster in the attic appeared, many people had already guessed that it was the person who studied the virus and was the first to be infected.

At this time, the audience in the theater no longer cared about whether the events in the video were real or not, they were deeply attracted by the plot, and they were nervous and breathing quickly as the characters in it were nervous.

The whole room was left with only the cameraman and the female reporter, although they were full of fear, but no one dared to make a sound, the screen was not clear, and the screen was only some furniture, but it made people more integrated into this environment, worried about the remaining two people inside, hoping that their movements would be lower.

The screams of the female reporter, and her body didn't know what to pull in, and disappeared into the dark door, the screen just shone on the dark door, without the slightest sound, in the corner of the screen, the time also accelerated the passage, and the display of power in the upper left corner also continued to decrease in the acceleration of time, until the red light in the corner turned on, and the whole screen fell into darkness.

Paris followed the crowd out of the cinema, and she was still basking in the excitement and joy of her first film, which was being discussed around her. Of course, at this time, they didn't think that this was a film, but a film of real events, but the more people around them thought like this, the happier Paris became, which was also an affirmation of her first acting.

The audience sighed, discussed, and rang out, filling the entire hall, they, the first people to eat crabs, already believed that "Death Video" was real, and blamed the damn government for hiding everything, and the sense of substitution and fear obtained from watching the film was also the highest, and they were also the key to whether viral marketing could be realized.

"God, bless us, it's crazy, it scared the hell out of me, oh my God, is there really anyone doing a terrible experiment."

"I'm going to have to call that guy Sean to take a look, I can't wait to see what that guy will be scared of!" Two white youths walked beside Paris, ignoring her big beauty, one still immersed in the horrors of the movie, and the other enthusiastically preparing a terrifying plan.

"It's the scariest thing I've ever seen, damn it, I regret it now, tonight, I'm sure I won't be able to sleep, and I'll have nightmares when I do." A young man kept scolding his fellow people, and he used this to dispel his fears.

Paris was in excitement, dialed Wang Jie's phone, turned off the phone again, she was sullen, threw the phone aside, opened her legs without a lady's appearance, and lay on the back seat of the stretch car, Nikki looked at her sister, didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "Sister, did you really invest in this movie?" I think there is a lot of traffic, maybe you can earn, well, a lot of money. ”

Paris sneered and said, "Do you think money is very important?" ”

Nikki said: "Of course it's not important, but if you don't have money, you don't have everything, and ah, Paris, I seem to have asked you on the phone before, I often don't go home at night, do you have a boyfriend, is it Wang Jie who invested in movies with you, I will be very powerful when I watch this movie, you look at those people who have heated discussions after watching the movie." ”

Paris said: "You don't know, Wang Jie is Anqi's boyfriend, I ......" She shook her head, how do you look at it, she and Nicole are completely amazing, and even invited her to come out to watch a movie was refused, this feeling of being "abandoned" really made her feel unwilling.

Forget it, she sighed secretly, now let's focus on her career.

"Death Video" was released on Halloween, which is also a good choice, this Halloween, director Ang Lee's Ice Storm has been in theaters for 5 weeks, and it has gradually approached the box office limit, and this street-hitting work directly made Ang Lee honest for two years.

On October 17, "Capital Vertical", "I Know What You Did Last Summer", and "Devil's Advocate" were released one after another, but the box office results can only be said to be okay, "Me" grossed $72.21 million in the United States, and "Devil" had a box office result of $150 million, but they were all directly killed by "Death Video" from behind.

"Death Video" faced a sudden outbreak of frenzy, 534 screens of screening, the box office in the first week set a box office result of 27.45 million US dollars, and this achievement is still based on the shooting cost of 500,000 yuan, the publicity cost of 300,000 US dollars, directly put the box office record and investment amount on the weekly box office list of the hand-sick "Hollywood News", everyone was surprised, how is it possible, invest 500,000 yuan, and get so much income! It's not scientific.

This is not just a cost recovery, but a crazy box office miracle, especially when the momentum of the movie has not decreased, especially in the last few days, quite a lot of movie theaters in good locations are full, even if it is a late night show, the attendance rate is close to 90%, and there are countless young people who come to stay up late to watch the movie, and there are also people who come to watch the movie several times, with friends who "don't know the truth".

The choice of this schedule is too perfect, the previous movie is over, and "Star Troopers" released on November 7 is definitely a comparable opponent, this super-sized movie filmed the war between humans and alien zergs beyond imagination, the scene is grand, and the Zerg torture and killing humans is cruel, which can be said to be facing the main audience of "Death Video", young people.

It is conceivable that the box office war between the two films is destined to be a fierce fight, and Wang Jie's already prepared release plan and 2000 copies are already hungry and thirsty, but at this time, he in Washington, he can't receive a call from Paris urgently, everything is handed over to the distribution company to operate, just waiting for the time to come, after Dafang admits the facts of the movie, it sets off the next round of movie viewing fever.

Wang Jie is in Washington, and the trouble he encounters is the biggest trouble a man can encounter.

Question: Who is the biggest disaster for a man, the one who suffers him the most?

Enemy?

No, the enemy will hurt you, but he will not necessarily make you miserable, but will only make you grow and fight back.
