Chapter 141: Creating Surprises

In the producer's office, Martin met Susan Levine.

?? Because of the good honey blending with the prodigal son's fiancΓ©, the female producer is full of spring breeze.

?? Martin also heard some news and specifically asked, "When will you attend your wedding to Donnie?" ”

?? At the mention of this, Susan was happy: "I just had a plan, and it will be the first half of next year at the earliest." ”

?? Martin added, "Don't forget my invitation. ”

??β€œ How could I have forgotten you, I would have invited you in advance. Susan had a good impression of Martin, not only because he was also a prodigal son, but also because he helped the crew avoid trouble.

?? The kangaroo really hurt Mene at the time, and there would have been a huge loss in terms of money alone.

?? Susan asked instead, "Is your new drama finished?" ”

??β€œ Just got back from Mexico. Martin handed over a lucky totem and pointed to the newspaper in his hand: "Recently, the entertainment media has been full of Paris, and I am a little worried." ”

?? Susan played with the lucky totem and said with relief: "It's okay, she has had a bigger scandal, and now this scandal will only increase her exposure, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the film she starred in." ”

?? Martin understood what she meant, and the crew wished there was more Paris scandal, and then she asked, "The crew has a relevant publicity plan?" ”

?? Susan smiled and shook her head: "No, she's too uncontrollable. Although she is really responsible for less than five films independently, her ability is undoubted, and she can't help but look at Martin: "What, you have an idea?" ”

?? "Lately people around me have been talking about Paris, and she went to jail after being caught for the second time, and the fire was a mess," Martin said. ”

?? Susan also paid attention: "And the assistant she was in the crew was called ......"

??β€œ Kim Kardashian. Martin reminded.

?? Susan nodded: "Yes, Kardashian, she broke the news about Paris every other week, and Paris is even hotter than "Spider-Man 2". She regretted it: "Unfortunately, Paris is completely out of her control. ”

?? Martin doesn't go around in circles: "What if Kardashian is controllable?" ”

?? Susan looked up at Martin, "You're not kidding me?" ”

?? Martin said appropriately: "My manager, Lao Bu, you have seen, he has a good relationship with Kim. ”

?? Susan suddenly laughed: "Martin, you really create surprises. She looked at Martin again, "I finally understand why Louise admires you so much." ”

?? Martin didn't answer this, but said: "The results of the film are better, and it is beneficial for us as the main creators." ”

?? Susan took Martin's words seriously: "Tell me what you think. ”

?? "I asked a couple of neighbors if they would like to watch Paris if she was killed in the film," Martin said. They were surprisingly unanimous and said they would applaud loudly. ”

?? Susan understands this mentality: "Ordinary people want to see more scandals about this wealthy princess in line with their self-judgment that the rich are all rotten, but they are extremely disgusted with these scandals, and they want the ugly rich to die." ”

??β€œ Like me. Martin couldn't help but say: "Like all ordinary Americans, I think it's okay for a pig to sit on that position in the White House, and if there is a problem with the pig, ......"

?? Susan laughed again, "I'm just like you." She quickly put away her smile: "You go and contact Kardashian, and I'll have someone start a sample survey." ”

?? As for Paris, since another scandal broke out, the relevant funders have been very unhappy.

?? Susan made a few phone calls and quickly convinced them of the producer's professionalism and the film's promising profits.

?? …………

?? Satellite city of Venice, seaside hotel on the enclosed beach.

?? Kim Chao twisted his waist and ran towards the sea.

?? Although it is not as exaggerated as it was later, in normal people, it is also quite warped.

?? Bruce, who wears a floral shirt, is a truly civilized person.

?? The phone rang, and he answered and said a few words to Martin, and shouted at the front, "Kim, come here." ”

?? Kim trotted all the way back, sat sideways next to Bruce, and asked, "Something?" ”

?? Bruce has already grasped her key: "Do you want to appear in more media and get more people to follow you?" ”

??β€œ Absolutely! Kim was thoughtful: "But my personal abilities and resources are limited. ”

?? She shifted her ass toward Bruce, turning like a millstone, "You've got a way again, right?" ”

?? Bruce said falsely and truthfully: "A producer on the crew of "Wax Museum of Horror" called me and asked me if I knew you well, and he knew that we were relatively close when we were on the set. ”

?? Kim realized something, and he hasn't figured it out yet: "The film starring Paris invested in?" The crew asked me to help with publicity? But I'm on the opposite side of Paris, and I can't reconcile with her for a short time......"

?? Bruce said: "You don't need to reconcile, the crew will work with the film distributor to invest more media resources in you, and you will break the news according to the rhythm of the crew." ”

?? Kim knew that Warner Bros. was behind "Wax Museum of Horror", and almost without thinking about it, he agreed: "I have no problem!" ”

?? If the crew and Warner Bros. invested media resources, the publicity effect would be several times better than now, or even ten times better.

?? Bruce got up and walked towards the hotel: "We'll go back and get ready, and in just a few days, they'll send someone to talk to you in detail." ”

?? Jin deliberately walked in front of him, twisting his waist, during which he turned his head and threw a wink: "Lao Bu, you will always support me in the back, right?" ”33

?? Bruce's gaze focused on one point.

?? …………

?? Warner Studios, in the post-production studio.

?? Parker, the show's head of publicity, is dealing with Martin, Eliza and Paris's agents.

?? The three agents quarreled over the placement of the actor's name and image on the opening and ending credits and promotional posters.

?? Although there are provisions in the contract, there is still room for operation in the formulation of specific locations.

?? Eliza's agent demanded that the promotional materials must highlight Eliza personally, and that the image should be at least twice as large as the other main actors, except for the C-position.

?? Of course, Thomas didn't do it, thinking that Martin and Eliza were in the same role, and the image could only be slightly smaller than Eliza, and the opening name of the film could fall behind Eliza, but the size and color should be the same.

?? Paris's agent, who demanded that Paris should be treated the same as Martin.

?? Then there was another argument about the color, styling and so on of the respective customer images on the promotional materials.

?? The three agents are very tough, the crew is not a gentle drizzle, whoever is weak is peaceful and unlucky.

?? Eliza's position as the heroine cannot be shaken, and what Thomas is fighting for Martin is that the treatment of various materials is infinitely close to the heroine.

?? Eventually, on the opening credits, Martin's name is listed separately, appearing in the picture behind the heroine Eliza, and Paris Hilton is also listed separately, after Martin, with the words "special performance".

?? On the main poster, Eliza is still in the front C position, Martin's head is one-third smaller than her, on her right, and Paris is one-third smaller on her left.

?? The poster stars with the names Eliza and Martin prominently above their respective images, and Paris's name on the left side of her profile picture.

?? In addition, Martin and Eliza will have a special poster of the twins showdown.

?? The media event where the heroine Eliza appears, Martin will also be in attendance.

?? As for Paris, she can't get out of prison for the time being.

??β€œ Unfortunately, Eliza and Martin broke up. Parker has no regrets: "It was a good publicity point. ”

?? Thomas and Eliza's agent Victor were arguing just now, but they looked at each other tacitly.

?? The latter said directly: "Do you want to let them get back together?" ”

?? This is one of the most conventional publicity tactics in the industry, and Thomas himself is not against it, like the release of "Spider-Man 2" this year, and the media is hyping Peter Parker and Mary Jane.

?? In fact, Tobey Maguire soaked in the daughter of Warner CEO Barry Meyer.

?? Thomas touched on a key issue: "I can convince Martin that the woman doesn't force Martin to go vegetarian. ”

?? Parker immediately picked up the phone and called Susan for a routine briefing.

?? Susan replied, "No, our key propaganda point is not on this. Parker, have you finished talking over there? Come right now for a meeting. ”

?? Parker ended the meeting.

?? When Thomas left, Paris's agent, Steve, approached him.

??β€œ Why don't you let Martin fall in love with Paris? Steve thinks about his clients: "Martin can use Paris's popularity to get attention. ”

?? Thomas said: "Paris uses romance to divert attention? Let people stop discussing her scandal? ”

?? Knowing that peers are not fools, Steve admits: "It's good for both of us." ”

?? Thomas couldn't call the shots: "I'll ask Martin's opinion. ”

?? Steve exchanged business cards with him: "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

?? ……

?? In the director's office, Martin is chatting with Zomi Sheila.

?? After that special art party, Zommy and Martin are friends, although they can't talk about everything.

?? Directing a film for the first time, Zommy was worried: "The film has been completed, Warner has had an internal test screening, the response is okay, and it will be sent to the MPAA for rating soon, and it is estimated that a theater manager will hold a viewing meeting in mid-September, and then it will be possible to determine how many theaters will premiere." ”

?? Martin said with a smile: "Your first treatment was much better than mine, my first theatrical movie, only 8 theaters on the first weekend. ”

?? Zomi is under a lot of pressure: "I've been dreaming about the release of movies lately, and I'm afraid of failure. ”

?? "You need to take the stress off and go out for a drink in the evening and call Wes, Ajia and Michelle, Wes has a place where it's easy to be inspired," Martin advises. ”

?? Zomi replied: "It's okay to have a drink, wine can help you sleep." He rubbed his temples: "I messed up this time, I won't have a second chance, I can only go back to shoot music videos and commercials." ”

?? Martin joked: "This pressure is not enough, let me tell you how much pressure a director can have, if the film he shoots fails at the box office, he can only go home miserably and inherit billions of assets." ”

?? Zommy was stunned, and then laughed: "Martin, it's still fun with you." ”

?? Martin called separately that Michelle was running a film festival to prepare for the awards and was not in Los Angeles, and Wes Craven and Alexander Ajia were happy to come out and relax.
