Chapter 156. 【Horror Video】
28 May 1999.
In order to successfully complete the acquisition of Google Technologies, Yi Feiyang arranged everything very carefully.
First of all, he very cordially invited Mr. Gusta, the owner of Lionsgate, to act as a notary public for the acquisition.
Gusta was also happy to attend such a takeover, as he was interested in knowing why Yi Feiyang would acquire the small technology company.
As Giga's personal lawyer, Louis Carr drew up the acquisition agreement in great detail, and under the supervision of notaries on both sides, Gigay and Google representatives signed together, and finally shook hands to exchange contracts......
Dream Pictures took out 3 million to finance Google and obtain 60% of Google's shares, of course, Google's actual market value is only 3 million, and the extra 1.2 million was divided by Lali Page and his friends who have not been full, this is the unspoken rule in the acquisition, everyone knows it; In addition, Dream Pictures gave another 1 million to Google to invest in technology research and development.
Since then, Google has officially become an independent subsidiary of Dream Pictures. The future network giant was missed by Yi Feiyang in this way.
It can be said that the entire acquisition was successfully completed in an atmosphere of friendship, harmony and mutual satisfaction.
After taking a group photo, Yi Feiyang couldn't even believe that it was as simple as that, and tens of billions of technology companies in the future would be in his hands.
"Yi, what are you doing in a daze? Come on, let's have a drink! Gusta, who was holding a champagne, looked at Yi Feiyang, who was not in his mind, and said.
Yi Feiyang finally woke up from his reverie and understood that it was time to open champagne to celebrate.
"Thank you. Thank you especially for your help today. Yi Feiyang said politely.
"Huh. Actually, I didn't do anything. It's just a witness to your acquisition of a company...... But there's one thing I really don't understand, this tech company seems to be very average, why are you in such a hurry to buy it? ”
"Am I in a hurry? Nope! Yi Feiyang quibbled.
"Just pretend! I also heard that there is a problem with the technique, and it is about to collapse, why are you still in such a hurry......" Gusta looked at Yi Feiyang suspiciously.
"It's cheap just because it's about to collapse." Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"It's strange to believe you, you guy is a famous freak in Hollywood, you must have your ghost idea in doing this."
"Actually, this is not what I thought. It's one of my subordinates......"
"Oh, who is it?"
"See? The guy named Dures...... Talent is coming! ”
"Ha, are you overloaded with talent here? So much talent! ”
Yi Feiyang rarely told the truth, but Gusta didn't believe it.
"Believe it or not, he made the suggestion this time."
"Okay, it's okay to forget about you and run here, right?" Gusta laughed.
"By the way, when is your "Chainsaw" going to be released?" Gusta suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"It's not like you don't know the truth, this drama has just been edited. The publicity hasn't started yet, so how can it be released. In the face of those blockbusters, they were directly turned into cannon fodder. Yi Feiyang took a sip of champagne glasses.
"Don't lie! If your drama becomes cannon fodder, the whole of Hollywood will probably be paralyzed! God, what kind of person you are, I know very well, to be honest, let's work together, we at Lionsgate will release this show with you! Gusta raised his wine glass and smiled at Yi Feiyang: "How about it, think about it?" ”
"Okay, let's do it together!" Yi Feiyang touched his cup with him and immediately responded.
"Huh?" Gusta was stunned, "What did you say...... It's true? ”
"Of course, work together as you say."
"Good boy! What tricks are you playing? Will it be so cheap for me? ”
Gusta, who had always been vigilant, was puzzled.
"It's very simple, I fell in love with your theater ......"
"Cinemas? If I used to believe it, but now, it seems that you also have 58 movie theaters, why are you still aiming at me? ”
"58 is too few!" Yi Feiyang said, "This time, Universal, Warner, Fox, and Disney are working together, and I need to seize more theaters to deal with it...... Actually, in addition to Lionsgate, I'm going to join forces with Paramount, yes, let's do it together and see what miracles we can come up with! ”
"Yi, since you say so, then let's do something real, as long as your word-of-mouth and box office meet my expectations after the release of this drama, then, I will cooperate with you immediately! What do you think? ”
"Think beautifully!" Yi Feiyang smiled, "If the box office and reputation are good, what else do I want you to do?" It is estimated that at that time, many companies will pounce on them and ask to work together, after all, I am still famous, so you should think about it, either do it together now, or wait to grab it with others! ”
"You kid, you're so unreasonable...... Forget it, you know I'm a very cautious person, but this time, ...... I'm willing to take risks! ”
"So, work together?"
"Let's work together!"
The two of them smiled and raised their champagne glasses, touched them slightly, and then drank them all.
In fact, the reason why Gusta agreed to cooperate with Yi Feiyang immediately was because of his "familiarity" with the play "Chainsaw", damn it, this play almost became his, but he slipped away halfway.
After negotiating the cooperation intention, Gusta couldn't help but nag again, "I have a hunch, Yi, as soon as your drama is released, the box office will definitely roll in a lot!" Alas, to be honest, I like this drama very much, but it's a pity that you kid was cheaper in the end, God, James Win really shouldn't have left Lionsgate! ”
"Ha, who told you not to sign with him at that time?" Yi Feiyang joked.
"So, you have a saying in China that is very right, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, I will grow a wisdom now, and when I meet talented people in the future, I must get my hand no matter what, yes, never give up!" Gusta looked serious.
"Hehe, since you think so, then I wish you success in the future!" Yi Feiyang raised his glass again.
Gusta shrugged. "I don't drink anymore. Prepare some more whiskey tonight. That's enough to taste! ”
In the evening, in order to celebrate the successful acquisition of Google, Yi Feiyang, as the host, held a grand celebration banquet.
Of course, there were plenty of good whiskeys and wines in addition to champagne this time, but Lionsgate's Gusta was out of luck because he had to go back to Lionsgate to deal with something very important. Before leaving the banquet though. Gusta still revealed to Yi Feiyang, he said that Lionsgate is about to start filming a blockbuster film about pirates, and if Yi Feiyang is interested, he can join in.
Pirate genre?!
Yi Feiyang's first thought was the future superstar blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean". Fortunately, under the side knock, I realized that the pirate film of Lionsgate is very different from this "Caribbean", and they are playing Somalia......
However, Yi Feiyang was still very grateful for Lionsgate's kind invitation, and even considered it. Do you want to work with Lionsgate to develop the Caribbean after the completion of "Chainsaw"?!
After all. Earn money together, this is the last word to accumulate contacts!
……
It is said that after receiving the dream funding, Google really bought a patent, quickly completed the patching of vulnerabilities on the search engine, and Google's website was successfully launched.
The five days after the acquisition of Google were extremely busy five days, during which Dream Entertainment completed all the editing of "Chainsaw", and made some of it into video clips, along with the previous ones, and handed them over to Yi Feiyang for screening.
Yi Feiyang did not act arbitrarily this time, but gathered the big guys to choose together. After watching it, according to people's opinions, the selected videos were handed over to Google.
Before handing it over to Google for upload, Dures, who was appointed by Yi Feiyan as the interim head of publicity, said to Google's people, "Secret, weird, upload in parts...... Also, find more people in the back and hype ......"
3 June 1999.
Los Angeles, in a university dormitory.
A white guy was looking at the computer while holding a steaming instant noodle that had just been brewed, when suddenly he called to his friend, "Hey, man, come and see, there's something interesting." ”
"What, man, is it more fun than I watched Jordan shoot?" A black guy asked, sitting on the couch.
"Hey, just take a look, it's a newly uploaded video!"
The black guy came over and looked at the computer with the white guy.
On the computer, open the window of the video, it is dark, only the sound of heavy breathing, and then a line of subtitles appears: Please do not stare at it with all your attention, or you will be ...... in ten seconds.
"Damn, black hole, staring at what?"
"yes, what's the trick?"
However, the two of them still "did not listen to the advice" and stared intently at the window screen of the black hole to see what would happen.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
Wait until the tenth second, suddenly, a terrible scream!
A grimace suddenly flashed in the dark picture!
"Wow, God, that scared the hell out of me!" The white guy was so frightened that he directly spilled the hot instant noodles he was holding!
"Damn it!" The black guy who approached him was splashed with a crotch of his pants, and his balls were hit, almost burned.
"Son of a bitch, who did this prank!" The black guy clutched his crotch in unbearable pain and shouted angrily.
At this time, a picture appeared in the computer window, and a puppet wearing a white-faced ghost mask crunched out on a bicycle, saying: "I told you earlier, don't stare at it, you just don't listen, disobedient guys will be punished, how do you choose to die?" After saying that, the picture changed, and a bloody chainsaw whistled and came head-on......
The horror came to an abrupt end when the chainsaw pounced.
"Wow, this guy is so cool!"
"yes, what video is this? It's horrible! ”
"Hurry up and call Joseph the coward, this will scare him to pee!"
……
At the same time, such a terrifying video began to circulate in the networks of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other major cities in the United States, known as the mysterious "chainsaw killer". And the Google website that uploaded the video also became popular overnight.
The phrase "if you want to test your guts, then stare at it for ten seconds ......" quickly became a buzzword among teenagers.
The greeting from young people who like to look for excitement when they meet also becomes, "Hey, man. Have you tried your guts? ”
Of course. For this one is a simple one. There are some prank-like video clips, and many people have commented that they are "boring", "idle, crazy", and "only fools will watch them", but this does not prevent the video from becoming more and more popular.
In fact, this video that is close to "spoofing" was made by Yi Feiyang by drawing on those classic videos in his previous life. Back then, the Internet just began to rise, and some guys who liked to play pranks. I made a similar video and uploaded it to the Internet, so that you, who were unprepared, stared at the black screen for a few seconds, and suddenly flashed a bloody skull, with screaming music, the thriller was absolutely full!
Of course, such a spoof horror video is not enough, Yi Feiyang immediately uploaded another video three days after the launch of this video, taking on the previous short film.
This. is no longer engaged in unprepared pranks, but a bloody scene of torture and killing.
A man's hands were handcuffed to an iron post. A chainsaw was spinning next to him, and a guillotine was slowly falling from his head......
The video caption is: If it were you, what would you choose? Escaped with a sawed hand, or was your head cut off?!
Then darkness, screaming, blood dripping the screen.
As soon as this video was broadcast, it immediately caused a panic, because the whole shot, the picture looks too realistic, compared with the previous prank, it is obviously a very scary crime case!
"God, who is that poor man?"
"Who is he, why is he tortured and killed like this?"
"Could it be that this video is ......?"
The uneasy factor, the fear of psychology, and the habit of American people who like to think crankily make this video another topic in a short period of time.
A lot of people started doxing the warehouse where the shot was located, searching for the poor man, searching for the chainsaw brand in the shot, searching for ......
In short, the whole of America is lively.
Many police stations in the United States have also received calls to the police, and what they say is about this video.
"Hey, you cops, did you watch that video? Hurry up and save that poor fellow! ”
"Oh my God, it's horrible, it's a nightmare! You cops should do something about it, right? ”
"I'm going to call the police, yes, I'm going to call the police, please catch that villain on the video!"
……
The police ignored these messy police at first, and they didn't know who was playing a prank. Just like the last time in "Blair the Witch", in order to find the murderer of this "documentary", the police dispatched more than a dozen police forces, almost searched the damn witch forest, and didn't even find a fart in the end! and then to the last one, it turned out to be a "pseudo-documentary" playing ghosts!
Damn shit movie, how much manpower, material and financial resources were wasted, and most importantly, how much vacation did our police officers waste?! We are police officers, is it easy to take a vacation, it's not easy! Yes, it's not easy! Originally, we could have gone to the tavern to get drunk, we could fight rabbits with shotguns, and we could stuff money into strippers' milk covers, but for the sake of this bullshit search, it was all in vain! Now it's here again, no way!
Soon, however, under the watchful eye of a high-ranking police officer, a criminal psychologist was found to watch the horror video uploaded on Google's website, and finally came to the conclusion that it was "true".
As soon as this assertion came out, it immediately caused a huge reaction from the police, who began to dispatch people and horses, as well as specialized technical personnel to carry out a thorough investigation and search for this video......
Just as the police were about to make a big move, a third eerie video was uploaded to Google's website again.
Turn on the computer, the video window on the computer slowly brightened, first a burst of red blood, and then a group of imprisoned men and women, looking horrified, shouting: "HEIP! ”
Crunch, crunch, the puppeteer in the suit with a white grimace mask and a bicycle came out again and said, "Do you want to just them?" Want to be a hero? Aren't you afraid of death? Come on! ”
The blades of the weedwer swirled, cutting a locked unlucky egg, flesh and blood flying, and all organs spilled to the ground!
"Oh my God, it's terrible!"
"It's terrible!"
"He's a demon!"
……
While people were shouting, the video began to slowly disappear, and then a line of subtitles appeared: Dream Entertainment, "Chainsaw" Stay tuned!
This subtitle is like a basin of cold water, directly dousing all the angry people to wake up, what, what does it mean?
"Saw Horror"?!
Dream Films?
Oh God, we have been deceived!
Damn fantastic!
Abominable China Easy!
……
Everyone is awake!
It's not some spoof, it's not some evil video, it's just ...... Promotional clip of the movie!
Compared with these deceived American Internet fans, what is even more angry is those American policemen, grandma's bears, what kind of planes, and a ghost film company are engaged in propaganda, but they make us dizzy!
Other Hollywood studios were also dumbfounded by the series of propaganda from Dream Pictures, and finally let out a collective roar: "Shit! It's too good at pretending to be a ghost! ”
But no matter what, these three videos of "Chainsaw" have spread like a virus through the Internet and throughout the Internet world in the United States. In just one week, the number of views of these three short films has exceeded 100 million, that is to say, at least hundreds of millions of viewers have watched these three promotional advertisements of Fantasy Entertainment......
In addition, with Yi Feiyang's deliberate promotion, "Chainsaw" not only became the focus of discussion in Los Angeles on the Internet, but also became the front page headline of popular entertainment on TV and newspapers, and these promotions, except for the initial secret hype spent a little dollars, have not spent any copper plate since!
The reason is very simple, those media are not fools, and they are used to digging materials to dig into your ancestral grave! So one by one, uninvited...... (To be continued......)
