Chapter 3 Hype (Ask for Support!) )
(New book set sail!) Ask for all kinds of support! )
Kane just wanted to buy, not to cooperate, and wanted to make the business a one-shot deal.
"I'm going to cooperate, boss!" Li Yaoyang said categorically.
This is a clear intention to spend a small sum of money on yourself, so how is it possible?
I planned for three months, but not just for a small amount of money!
"Man, you know that's impossible~" Kane seemed to feel comfortable with himself, ordered a cigar and smoked it gracefully.
"Without my follow-up script, this play would not have been successful!"
"I don't think so, your creativity is much greater than the content of the script.
Man, you're still young, I'm going to teach you a lesson today.
No matter what business you do, don't expose your core interests, it's easy to be manipulated by opponents! ”
Kane looked confident, and gave Li Yaoyang a serious lesson.
didn't know that people were fully prepared, and Li Yaoyang just looked young.
“boss! I went to the Broadway Theatre and the Brandon Theatre before I went to work..."
Without waiting to finish speaking, Kane took the case:
"How crazy are you?"
"On the contrary, I am very sensible, there is only one way in front of you, either gamble and cooperate with me, or watch the money disappear!"
After a pause, he slowly stood up on the table, a pair of confident and crazy eyes looking directly at Kane.
"Of course, I'm sure you'll make the right choice, boss!"
In the last sentence, he added a strong accent, which seemed to be mixed with a hint of mockery.
Kane thought so, and the embarrassment permeated his body.
He wanted to slap him in the face and angrily reprimand this Chinese boy who dared to commit an offense.
But reason suppressed the impulse, and the financial situation of the theater overwhelmed him.
This is an opportunity, and a villain in his heart shouted at him: seize the opportunity, you can turn over, don't be impulsive, so as not to regret it!
The violent fluctuations in mood choke the nerves, causing the cheek muscles to twitch involuntarily, which looks a little scary.
In Li Yaoyang's eyes, Kane at this time is like a sign before the onset of a patient in a psychiatric hospital.
But the desire to succeed overcame the fear in my heart, and I didn't give in to it.
After a few minutes of stalemate, Kane suddenly deflated, sat down in his boss's chair, and rubbed his temples with his fingers:
"You won, how do you want to cooperate?"
Li Yaoyang felt the boulder in his heart fall, and he also sat down, calmed himself down a little, and then said without hurry:
"I provide the full script, I am responsible for choreographing the whole play, you provide the funds and actors, and we divide it fifty-fifty!"
"What are you kidding, dare to ask for fifty-fifty points for a broken script? Citler's female cousin didn't dare to open this mouth! ”
Li Yaoyang slammed back mercilessly:
"Now if Sitler were to sit here, you'd be talking at gunpoint, boss!"
"You!"
"Money! For the sake of money, put away your damn discrimination.
I just want to make money, I'm not interested in everything in the theater, you know what I mean? b! o! s! s! ”
From the moment he sat down, Li Yaoyang controlled the rhythm of the negotiation, and the momentum was already on his side, Kane was the fish on the chopping block!
"Eighty-two, just eighty-two, no negotiation, damn bastard, do you hear that? Eighty-two! ”
Kane was furious, but he had to admit that Li Yaoyang was right in saying that making money is the key, and everything else can be put aside.
"I'll take a step, six four, you six and I four, but I need a deposit of 500 dollars!"
"F**K, do you know how much $500 is worth? I can go to Chinatown for 500 dollars and buy two of you! ”
"Then you can go and see if they can provide such a high-quality script?"
Li Yaoyang snorted coldly, not taking Kane's threat in his eyes at all.
If he wins the negotiation, he is entitled to 'despise' Kane.
On the contrary, if he loses just now, it is no problem, even if he kneels and hugs his thighs, he has to pinch his nose to admit it.
As for face? That thing is worthless!
However, he is confident in his script, who will compete with the 'giant wheel'?
The charm of the Titanic is a cross-century existence!
"Seventy-three, there is no 500 knife music, only 100, do you want love!"
I thought that Li Yaoyang would be able to give in one more step, but I didn't expect that this time he would not give in one step!
"June Fourth, 500 dollars, this is my bottom line, if I don't agree, I'll find a Broadway Grand Theater to cooperate~"
The Grand Broadway Theatre? He couldn't even get in!
I've been to Broadway and Brandon before, it's just a bluff.
Just playing 21 at the table, holding a three-to-four, doesn't mean you're going to lose, and bluffing is also a skill.
Fortunately, Li Yaoyang is Chinese.
Although he doesn't gamble cards, he reads the Thirty-six Strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he knows the trick of the empty city plan at the age of 8.
Sure enough, Kane's momentum was weak, and he was pinched to death.
"How much do you need to invest? First of all, I don't even have the money to find a female cousin now. ”
"It depends on what level of female cousin you are looking for, and you have the Vestan Theater, so it's not a big problem to get a temporary credit!"
Kane furrowed his brow:
"How much?"
"It's hard to say, it's about 3000 dollars~"
“3000?” Kane's face is extremely ugly, and his cheating Lao Tzu is dead, so it is estimated that he will not be so uncomfortable.
Half a month, I only need half a month for "Titanic" to be officially put on the stage.
"Are you sure?"
It only took half a month to hear it, and Kane's-like stinky face eased somewhat.
"Hmm~ Now you can advertise.
I want all the ladies of the Upper East Side to know that in half a month, the Wistan Theater will stage a beautiful love drama. ”
No one understands the importance of propaganda better than Li Yaoyang, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.
Also, the hype is important.
"Okay! I'm going to have someone make a poster! ”
"Not enough, the ad has to make the front page of the New York Times!"
"Do you know how much that costs? Bastard! Kane had a lot of fire that night, and his hair was almost smoking.
"Uh~How much?"
"It's expensive! Very expensive! ”
"Then change it, how about Vogue?"
Kane bit the mouth of his cigar and said viciously:
"You'd better make sure this show is an instant hit, or I swear to God I'm going to throw you into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish!"
"Okay, if you fail, don't talk about feeding the fish, I don't have a problem feeding the polar bear!" Li Yaoyang accepted the other party's threat.
People, there is a bottom line.
Forcing Kane to this job tonight, Li Yaoyang has already been very successful, can't he let others get over his mouth?
As for whether the fish will actually be fed?
Just kidding, legs grow on him!
If he really failed, wouldn't he run?
Anyway, he has nothing to worry about, and it's a big deal to go fishing in Newfoundland.
Leaving the office, Li Yaoyang waved his fist like a nervous disorder, and did not stop until his brain began to lack oxygen, and changed his breath fiercely.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Martin standing in the doorway, his mouth wide open.
Oops, the scene of the large-scale social death, I was caught up by myself.
However, Li Yaoyang's psychological quality is good, so he pretended to be casual and asked:
"What are you doing there?"
"Uh~"
"Looking for a boss?"
"Huh? Yes~Yes, yes, I'm looking for a boss~"
"Go ahead, the boss is inside, be careful, he's in a bad mood~"
Patting Martin on the shoulder, Li Yaoyang burrowed into the fire staircase.
Martin was stunned by the question mark on that end, it would be nice to have a camera, and it would be a meme when you took a picture.
————————————————
Two days later, the New York Times ran a story on the second page:
Does anyone remember the tragedy of 7 years ago?
It was April 10, 1912, and a so-called 'unsinkable ship' set sail from Southampton to New York.
The wealthy businessmen and celebrities of Britain and the United States who boarded the ship wanted to spend a wonderful week on this new miraculous ship.
Below deck, in the lower cabins, hundreds of migrants are on board to cross the Atlantic to the other shore to start a new life.
The first few days passed without incident, but on the fourth day, the operator received an urgent telegram from the ship ahead, alerting them that the iceberg had floated unusually southward and had reached the nearby sea.
April 14 was Sunday, and the Titanic received another emergency telegram with the same content.
However, these warnings were not heeded by the crew, and their arrogance became the main culprit of the tragedy.
The first alert received was thrown aside, it was not reported to the captain for several hours, and the next two were simply not sent to the command room.
Just after dusk, the temperature begins to drop suddenly.
Although the signs of the iceberg approaching were very obvious, the Titanic did not change its course, let alone reduce its speed, and went straight towards the iceberg.
……
The article came to an abrupt end, and those who can do this must be an online author who has been accomplished out of context for more than 5 years.
And in this era, only Li Yaoyang can do such a heinous thing.
When he went back that day, he figured out that "Vogue" was aimed at the female market, and its audience was not as wide as that of "The New York Times".
If you want your ads to be impactful, you have to be in The New York Times.
Since the front page headlines can't be on the front page, let's go on the second page in another way, and the price is only a quarter of the front page.
Moreover, if you submit in the form of an article, you can also earn a small manuscript fee, which is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.
The most important thing is that people in this era have not yet experienced the baptism of advertorials.
Li Yaoyang used this article to teach the people of the ugly country a good lesson, and let them see the power of advertorials!
There are many people who know about the Titanic, and many people still remember the tragedy that shocked the world.
But the vast majority of people don't know much about what happened.
Li Yaoyang serialized it in the New York Times in the form of a short story, which not only restored the original incident, but also added a beautiful love story.
For a time, many perceptual readers were moved, and they wrote to the newspaper headquarters, strongly asking the author not to engage in serialization, and to send it out in one go.
It's impossible to send it out, it's impossible in this life, and after Li Yaoyang finished writing about the process of Jack and Rousi meeting, he stopped updating.
It was unbearable or unbearable, and angry readers actually ran to the front of the newspaper office to march in protest.
As for how many of them are Tuo, and how many real readers there are, only Li Yaoyang himself may know.
After such a hype, the popularity of the Titanic has completely risen.
If the ladies don't talk about the handsome Jack at the afternoon tea party, they are embarrassed to say that they are rich.
If you have money, you have to chase trends, and even Jack doesn't know it? Eat your brown bread and go.
The blonde Jack, romantic and tender, is simply a favorite of rotten girls.
Sure enough, bloody romance dramas will never go out of style.
What Li Yaoyang has to do now is to shoot the scene well.
The premise of a good play is to find a 'Jack' that best fits the fantasies of rotten girls, and a 'shredded meat' that can best meet the demands of men.
If these two actors choose to fail, the play will be half a failure.
Watching stage plays these days, who pays special attention to the plot, isn't that for the thighs and abs?
