Chapter 50: Full Marks for "Reading Comprehension" [2/2]
April 20, 8 a.m.
Compared with the previous "vegetable market" concert that did not hesitate to hold in order to promote the movie, this time Zhang Mu is extremely low-key.
Even when the movie was released, he didn't have any premieres, and "The Tuner" seemed to be released so quietly.
Just when the circle ridiculed him for not knowing the severity and putting the cart before the horse, in the backyard of Muye Bar, Zhang Mudu was about to drip blood in distress.
Although "The Tuner" was advertised externally, it was claimed to be a blockbuster with a cost of 20 million.
But Zhang Mu knew in his heart that if it weren't for the special effects rabbit worth 3 million at the end, the actual shooting cost of "The Tuner" would be 4 million at most.
But this time, just in terms of publicity, Zhang Mu really smashed 3 million, and this still did not include the expenses of the "vegetable market concert".
However, the 3 million is really worth the money, without the 3 million, Zhang Mu would not have successfully completed the touch on "Ambush on All Sides", and Zeng Li's album "Red Ling" would not have caught fire as soon as it was released.
But these are not the real reasons why Zhang Mu gave up holding the premiere of the movie.
The reason why Zhang Mu gave up holding the premiere was because he spent all the money for holding the premiere... Spent out... Finished... Finish...
(οΏ£β½οΏ£β)
Yes, that's right, Zeng Li also had this expression after learning the news.
However, looking at Zhang Mu's distressed and dying-feeling appearance right now, Zeng Li couldn't help but feel funny, and immediately gave him an angry look and said:
"Now I know it's distressed? What did you do earlier! β
Zhang Mu on the sofa still looked loveless, but after listening to Zeng Li's words, he thought about it but still struggled:
"Even if I do it again, I'll have to do it!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained:
"The premiere is just a fun to watch, I might as well smash the Internet if I have that money!"
Seeing that Zhang Mu was still unrepentant, Zeng Li shook his head helplessly and said:
"It's over! You're out of control! β
However, compared to Zeng Li's incomprehension, Yang Guang could barely keep up with Zhang Mu's thoughts.
The fact that the premiere of the film can be popular in later generations naturally has its value.
Zhang Mu knew this in his heart, and Yang Guang also knew it.
It's just that compared with the Internet publicity plan proposed by Zhang Mu, the cost performance of the premiere is too low.
In addition, with the influence of the "Caishikou Concert" not long ago, it really makes little difference whether the premiere of "The Tuner" is held or not.
Therefore, Zhang Mu smashed the money for the premiere on the Internet.
However, in this way, the publicity and distribution cost of "The Tuner" is really about the same as the actual shooting cost, and the cost of the whole movie has really reached 10 million.
Maybe he didn't understand it when he saw Zeng Li, so Yang Guang explained with a smile:
"Our money is not spent in vain, you must know that there will be almost 100 million domestic netizens this year, and to a certain extent, these people are actually potential audiences of movies."
According to the plan discussed by Zhang Mu and Yang Guang, they edited five versions of the movie promotional video and put it on the Internet.
Then Makino Film and Television tried to contact a group of network managers of Internet cafes and used them to form a most primitive water army.
These people can get paid as long as they keep posting the "Tuner" promotional video to the major forums they know, and then copy and paste the "Battle Commentary" designed by Makino.
It can be said that these hundreds of thousands of smashed on the Internet have almost a spread effect several times that of traditional media, not to mention the premiere.
But after saying this, Yang Guang smiled at everyone and said:
"But the roadshow that should be run still has to be run, and then we have to work hard for everyone!"
Seeing Yang Guang mention this stubble, a wail suddenly sounded in the backyard.
It's a pity that no matter whether everyone wants to or not, they still have to embark on the road of the roadshow after all, and even Zhang Mu has not escaped.
Starting from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, all the way south, you have to run several theaters almost a day.
β¦β¦
Tang Shan, after coming out of a Yongle theater, saw that Zhang Mu had been looking at the computer in his hand curiously, and the little fairy sitting in the back seat of Zhang Mu suddenly turned her head curiously.
That's right, after some difficult communication between Makino and Tang Ren, the little fairy was finally lent out.
No way, who made the cast of "The Tuner" too shabby.
Among the people, except for Zeng Lizhenghuo, the little fairy is the most famous, and Zhang Mu naturally will not let go of such an opportunity to squeeze.
But the little fairy seems to be quite happy, after all, "The Tuner" is also her film debut.
Looking at the little head arched over like a kitten, Zhang Mu suddenly glanced at her helplessly, and had to give her the computer.
The little fairy looked at it for a while, and found that Zhang Mu was actually reading the comments about "Tuner" on various forums, so she was immediately interested, and even curiously flipped through it.
β¦β¦
γGossip at the End of the Worldγ
"I'm rubbing, "The Tuner" is really interesting, I didn't expect so many reversals."
"Yes, especially the part of removing the corpse, it's in the same shot, the male protagonist in the lower left corner is playing the piano blindly, and the other half of the picture is carrying the corpse, with that piano song...... it, I get goosebumps when I see it! β
"Yes, yes, yes! The director is really a chicken thief, this section seems to be the perspective of the male protagonist's voyeurism, and the camera keeps turning around, almost scaring the old lady to pee! β
"Alas! I really didn't expect so many able-bodied people to let a blind man win in the end! β
β(βoβ)β¦ Dude upstairs, are you sure you understand? β
"Yes, the male protagonist must be lying, if he is really blind, he will not hit the can in the end.
Maybe he killed the doctor, sold the poisonous woman's liver, and then replaced her cornea, and swallowed all 60 million alone.
Otherwise, he would not have had the money to go to London, let alone have the money to hold a solo concert in London. β
"No way, even if he can kill the doctor and the poisonous woman, but how can a blind man drive a car on the road and carry the body of the poisonous woman to successfully connect with the buyer?
The male protagonist should just deliberately beautify himself and conceal part of the facts.
The truth should be that he didn't resist the temptation in the end, and chose to work with the doctor to sell the poisonous woman's liver, get her cornea, and share the stolen money with the doctor.
In this way, after the successful operation, the male protagonist will have the money to come to London and can afford to hold a solo concert. β
β(βoβ)β¦ Could it be that the male protagonist lied from beginning to end after meeting Sophie? In fact, this is a story made up by a scumbag?
There may be no homicide at all, and there is no organ trafficking, everything is just the male protagonist connecting the things he encounters in life and making up a lie! β
"Impossible! There are so many intersections between that poisonous woman, Sophie, and the male protagonist, it can't all be stories. β
"I think there is some truth, maybe this is the story of a scumbag who cheats sex and money.
The male protagonist deceived Sophie's body, and then deceived the rich widow of her money. In the end, he killed her and disguised himself as a suicide. β
ββ¦β¦β
I have to say that there are many talents on the Internet, and the little fairy looks at it and begins to wonder if she has acted in this play.
She glanced at Zhang Mu with some admiration in shock.
The little fairy really didn't expect that Zhang Mu's seemingly meaningless shots still contained so much deep meaning.
Thinking of this, the admiration in her eyes couldn't help but add a hint of ......
