Chapter 289: National Feelings
Martin was stunned by the hero's generosity, and a one-minute advertisement burned 30 million moldy gold.
Otherwise, how to say that publicity and distribution are more expensive than film production, the witch Blair made a mere 20,000 mold gold, and used a hand-held home video camera to make a 90-minute videotape, which actually swept 250 million mold gold around the world.
This seems to be a good deal, creating more than 12,000 times the profit, but the publicity and distribution cost of this film has reached more than 30 million, and viral marketing on the Internet is the reason for the big hit, otherwise you would think that a video tape would have a chance to be released in theaters.
If there were no production costs of 1.5 billion, Martin would also want to burn like this, he actually agrees with Yingshuai's generosity. But it's the same as drilling, you spend a lot of effort to build the drilling platform, the drilling machines are bought, and in the end you find that you don't have the money to buy the drill bit, even if you know that the deeper the well is drilled, the more oil will be produced, but you just don't have the money to buy the drill bit.
What's more, Martin's purpose in investing in Paramount is to speculate on the stock price so that he can sell it at a good price, and now a company is in contact with him, and with the intention of acquiring it, he has no reason to invest a huge amount of money in it for publicity.
"Do you just let this big guy run rampant in the moldy country?" Martin said hatefully.
He is a descendant of John Bull, a typical ASP, who is extremely hostile to non-white races, and even those of impure blood among the white people are disparaged by him.
He first despised Yingshuai, a director from Daming, but after seeing Yingshuai's methods, he became hateful. Originally, you are an inferior person, just be ruled by our Anglo-Saxon Protestants, what are you tossing?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking desperately of a way to rectify the hero.
"Ban him, what reason do you find, saying that he is involved in the Yellow Mold, and there is no such law. ”
"Contact the theater chain to not let him be released? I don't seem to have such a big ability. ”
"That's right!"
。。。。。。。。。。。
"Unruly love, Director Daming has a special fetish?"
"Hodgepodge, love, shootouts, handsome new film genres are confusing. ”
Yingshuai frowned at the pile of newspapers in front of him, and he sniffed out the smell of conspiracy.
With so many newspapers open black at the same time, it is impossible that there is no one behind the command of the people.
However, Yingshuai is not the slightest worried, he is not a fledgling novice, and it has long been common for opponents to buy news and smear before the release of new films.
What's more, under his own powerful propaganda offensive, this bit of black material can't make much splash at all, at most it's disgusting and disgusting, after all, Yingshuai spent so much money on advertising in the mainstream media, which is equivalent to spending money to buy a talisman, and the mainstream media can't be too cold against this killer, so these are just some small newspapers.
Yingshuai then threw down the newspaper and ignored it, but the next day the media was in a different direction.
"Do the people of the moldy country need a movie of the Ming people?"
"The Moldy Country movie is dead, and it needs to be saved by Daming?"
It turned out to be just a tabloid comparison of the two films that were about to be released, but the results of the analysis hurt the self-esteem of the moldy people.
David Fincher's new film didn't do much publicity, and the audience's eyes were attracted by this killer who was not too cold, which made people think deeply.
Benjamin is a member of the whole mold country, from the actor to the main creator, they are all natives of Yishui, and this killer is not too cold The two leading actors, one is a bullfighting countryman, and the other is a moldy countryman, but it seems that the origin is unknown, and the information of his parents is unknown, as for the screenwriter and director, they are all Ming people.
Someone with a heart gently dialed, and the people of the mold country suddenly realized that this is a competition between mold country movies and foreign monks, and if you can't do it, you must support your own country's films.
To say that the moldy country film has declined in recent years, affected by the economic crisis, the number of moviegoers has fallen by three percent from the peak, although there has been growth this year, but it has not recovered to the best time.
Therefore, the media exclaimed that moldy films need to be saved, and a film that boosts the box office is needed to save it. This film appeared quickly, and in the first half of the year, a film swept the North American market, and became the box office champion strongly, and even broke the box office record in the past three years.
But the embarrassing thing is that this is a Ming film, and A Chinese Ghost Story has trampled on the special effects that the moldy people are proud of, which makes the media a little unhappy, but after all, the film has rekindled the moldy box office, which is a good thing for film practitioners, so everyone invariably ignored the identity of the film and did not suppress it.
Unexpectedly, in the second half of the year, Yingshuai came up with a new film, which made the formation quite big, and the media people were even more unhappy.
Yingshuai is very sensitive to the fact that it is wrong, he can ignore the reports that discredit the film, the film has not been released yet, can anyone believe you if you shoot indiscriminately?
But this time the difference has risen to the height of national feelings, which is likely to cause the people of the country to be disgusted with the film.
The reason why Yingshuai chose to shoot a foreign language film was actually to prevent this from happening, but he didn't expect to lie down.
Naturally, he couldn't let the propaganda trend continue, so he hurriedly contacted the company's public relations department and threw money at the major media to let them voice their support.
"Haha! I'll just make you scramble with just one move. Martin rested his feet on his desk in his office, lit a cigar, and snorted triumphantly.
For an ASP committed to restoring purebred white blood, he knows too well the lethality of this kind of reporting, whether it is really patriotic or not, no one will like other people's things better than their own, this is human nature.
His move can be said to hit the death hole of Yingshuai, even if Yingshuai desperately explains, I am filming in a moldy country, and most of the shooting team are moldy people, this killer is not too cold, it is really a pure moldy country, and the effect will not be too good.
Explanation is a cover-up, and the difficulty of crisis public relations is that the more you explain, the more people will not believe it.
"Well, I know, just say I don't have time recently, tell the other party to talk later!"
At this time, Martin received a call from the secretary, but the company that wanted to buy Paramount saw that the situation began to move in a favorable direction for Benjamin, and his interest in the acquisition became greater, and he wanted to talk to Martin, but Martin, a cunning businessman, how could he let go of this good opportunity to raise the asking price, so the secretary politely declined the other party's invitation, and he wanted to hang the other party's appetite again.
Martin couldn't help but hum a minor tune from his native California, triumphantly waiting for things to unfold.
