042. [Dark Horse in Summer Vacation]
Some people in the United States, mainly teenagers and college students, also had a heated discussion about this play.
"What the hell is this Blair the Witch?!"
"Even Stephen King has stepped up, what is this show like?"
……
"I heard that this drama is being screened in underground cinemas, I really want to see it!"
"yes, look what the hell this is!"
……
At the same time, Stephen King's comments in the press attracted many loyal readers who liked him, and under the guidance of the horror gods, these loyal fans gave strong refutations and criticisms of the film "Blair the Witch".
"This is a bad movie, although I haven't watched it yet, but I know it, absolutely yes!"
"Stephen King has already said that this drama is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep!"
"If we idols, we must be right, oppose this bad show!"
……
"We're going to find the guy who brags about this drama and kill him!"
"That's right, find the author of "Blair the Witch Past and Present" and splash him with dirty water!"
"Find out this scum! Dig out this poisonous weed! He's a cancer, eradicate him! ”
……
In the face of this kind of verbal criticism that has gradually become huge, as well as threatening human flesh searches, we are always facing the danger of smashing eggs, pouring water, and pouring sulfuric acid after being found...... Fat Jack couldn't support it.
If possible, the fat man would not hesitate to kick Yi Feiyang, who was squatting behind him and making waves, out of the air, and then tell those people, "This guy is my master, he is the mastermind!" "As for whether people will squash China to death, it's not in the scope of the fat man's consideration.
However, Fat Jack quickly cut off this idea, because he knew that his master was by no means a good person, and he would squash him to death before he was flattened!
This loss-making deal is not cost-effective, and it can't be done!
After some deliberation, Fat Jack came up with a trick...... Pretend to be sick and ask for sick leave!
So the fat man Jack took the initiative to find Yi Feiyang, saying that he had high blood pressure recently, fat enlargement, kidney deficiency and weak legs, yellow urine, and needed to go to a nearby hospital for medical treatment, and he could no longer serve the master and your old man.
Yi Feiyang's instructions for his sick leave are very simple: Go back to work quickly, or kick your balls!
Fat Jack didn't say a word, and continued to bury his head in writing with his eggs, of course, deep down he couldn't help but shout: Is this still the United States? And is there democracy ?!
In fact, at this time, Yi Feiyang was already happy that Stephen King took the initiative to stand up.
As long as you are good at hype, you know that any revelation needs to be fried on both sides, and if you fry it well, you can become very popular. On the contrary, if you raise the flag and shout here on the one hand, if you shout for a long time, everyone will get tired of it, which will reduce the effect of stir-frying.
Originally, Yi Feiyang was still worried about this, but Stephen, the terrifying king, came out, as if he was dozing, someone happened to send a pillow, and it was not an ordinary pillow, it was a well-known brand-name pillow at home and abroad, one word...... Refreshing!
Sure enough, with the explosion of public opinion, the popularity of the play "Blair the Witch" has already broken through the underground film market and began to walk on the real stage, facing Los Angeles and North America, ready to set off an unprecedented storm of public opinion.
Stephen King, the great god, knew that he had inadvertently helped Yi Feiyang, a half-writer, and was still criticizing "Blair the Witch" with justice, which caused the sales of "Hollywood Entertainment Newspaper" to increase significantly, and the newspaper director couldn't close his mouth, as for the story of "Blair the Witch", it began to spread more and more widely and faster with the newspaper war......
As for Yi Feiyang's movie, it has already been a mess operated by these media, how can five movies be enough, Yi Feiyang rented more than 30 small movie theaters to continue to screen this film. Unexpectedly, the venue was full, and many spectators didn't even have seats, in order to solve such a problem, the fat man Gao Jiabao bought a large number of plastic benches.
If you don't have a seat, it's okay!
Please let the bench help you!
Selling tickets, selling tickets, one game is no longer thousands of dollars before, but tens of thousands!
Yes, tens of thousands, colorful dollars!
The fat man counted the banknotes softly, but Yi Feiyang was thinking that the influence of this drama was too weak, and it was currently limited to a few in Los Angeles
region, how to make this drama released in the United States, and even the world, this is the key.
As mentioned earlier, the play "Blair the Witch" is only publicly released in small underground cinemas, although more than 30 cinemas work together, and it is not bad that the box office can reach 780,000.
Yi Feiyang was anxious.
Hollywood's major studios are also anxious.
Originally, the situation of Hollywood's summer vacation competition was clear, and the two dramas "Saving Private Ryan" and "Peerless Tribulation" were competing for the world. But halfway through, a dark horse suddenly came out, this dark horse is not taking the right path, but taking the path of underground cinemas, and the box office is high all the way, and many young people are crying and shouting to watch this drama.
Those movie theater owners are so hard, who would have known that this drama would be so attractive?! Your nurse, you don't watch such a good blockbuster, but you watch this kind of low-cost bullshit!
However, commercial films have always followed one principle, that is...... The audience is God!
Anything that the audience likes to watch is a good movie, a blockbuster movie.
Blockbuster movies represent the box office and represent profits!
For the sake of profit, many people can put everything behind, even trample on justice and justice, let alone stoop down the price and negotiate the distribution with the copyright owner of "Blair the Witch".
……
At the same time, the newly formed Lionsgate Film Company.
As the company's president, the banking magnate Gusta, he is carefully studying the data reports.
Sitting in front of him was Mr. Mike, the company's head of distribution.
Mr. Mike was very nervous, and from time to time wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"You seem to tell me that this is a low-budget film that isn't worth the investment?" Gusta asked, looking at the data report.
"Yes, that's right." Gusta replied, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
But now this drama has become a miracle, in just ten days, the box office income of the small movie has reached an astonishing 130,000! It's just a few underground movie theaters, and the box office has reached 130,000, if it really has to be put on the table, what will happen?! Do you understand what I mean? ”
"Yes, I understand." Director Mike was sweating profusely, and he would even dig a hole in the ground if he could.
"I don't care what you think, whether it's your brain or your ass, I'm very interested in 'Blair the Witch', do I want the right to distribute it? Be sure to get it! ”
"Yes, boss, I will definitely do my best!" Director Mike assured.
