After work, Martin and Bruce go back to their North Hollywood apartment.

Under the parasol at the door, Antonio set up a table, five burgers and two steaks lined up.

He admires the sunset, tastes hamburgers, and enjoys the leisurely life of a million-dollar rent.

Martin went over, took a bottle of ice drink, and said, "Rich man, you are too leisurely, if you eat like this, obesity will crush you." ”

Antonio's leisurely turned into vigilance: "Martin, what do you want to do?" ”

"You've made a lot of money, haven't you? Take it out and invest, now there is a good opportunity. Martin tries to pull investment: "I'm running a film ......"

Antonio raised his hand to interrupt him: "Stop! Martin, don't talk about it. ”

Martin stopped and looked at the fat landlord: "What a chance to make money!" ”

Antonio picked up the burger: "I have food, drink, real estate and savings, as long as I don't invest, start a business or get married, I will live very comfortably until I die." ”

His words suddenly pierced his heart: "I'm a millionaire, a rich man, why should I fight like you?" ”

At this moment, Martin realized the feeling of Lao Bu, turned around and walked towards the door, and did not forget to leave a sentence: "From now on, you don't talk to me for a week." ”

"There's your shipment, Jessica has it for you." After Antonio said this, he took a big bite on the hamburger, and ate it deliciously.

Bruce looked Antonio up and down and gave him a thumbs up: "You're amazing." ”

Seeing Lao Bu's strange eyes, Antonio suddenly felt that the burger was tasteless, and his ass couldn't sit steadily, and urged: "Come upstairs, don't disturb me to eat." ”

After Bruce left, Antonio was inexplicably relaxed, and his ass was settled.

Martin went upstairs, came diagonally across from him, and knocked softly on the door.

Jessica opened the door, saw Martin, and immediately said, "You're back?" Ah yes, the shipment is with me. ”

Later, Emily squeezed past Jessica with a cardboard box, and the box was delivered to Martin.

Martin said, "Thank you. He pointed to the rooftop, "I'll have a drink upstairs in a moment." ”

Jessica was the first to respond: "Okay! We also have something to tell you. ”

Martin glanced at his watch: "See you on the roof in half an hour." ”

"Okay." The two hurried back to put on makeup.

Martin returned to the room, and Bruce followed from behind.

While Martin was unpacking the shipment, he called a nearby restaurant to deliver wine and dinner.

Martin opened the box, and it was full of horn carvings, all of which were in the shape of a large mouth and a red nose, all of which were clowns modeled after him.

Some are hilarious, some are scary.

Bruce picked one up and said, "The carvers are getting better and better." ”

Martin pulled out the envelope pressed at the bottom, and when it was opened, there was a letter written by Lily.

The letter is very short, and it mainly writes about one thing, Marietta Public High School has some people slandering "The Wax Museum of Horrors", and she leads people to clean up the bastards next to each other, roughly stuffing a stinky sock in each mouth.

Bruce asked, "Need a gift in return?" ”

Martin remembered his collection: "Where's my crocodile tooth pendant?" ”

"You've delivered it once." Bruce reminded, "You want to send the same thing a second time?" Man, be a man. ”

Martin put his things away: "Let's wait a minute." ”

Last time, Louise and Kelly mailed back to Atlanta in his name a set of carving tools.

Lily mentioned the film in her letter, and Martin said, "Collect some film materials another day and mail them to her." ”

The restaurant sent someone to bring Bruce the dinner he wanted, and Martin called Jessica and Emily, and then Antonio downstairs, to go to the top of the building for dinner.

Hearing that there was something delicious, Antonio moved his fat body and rolled up.

Five people sat at the long dining table, eating and talking.

Jessica asked, "Martin, have you been following a blog lately?" ”

"Occasionally, I'm very busy preparing a new movie," Martin said. ”

Emily immediately asked, "New movie?" What a large-scale production? When will the filming start, you need to ......"

Compared to her, Jessica, who is younger, is much calmer.

Seeing that her companion was silent, Emily automatically stopped asking questions.

"I've just started planning, and I'm getting ready for it early." Martin muttered and asked Jessica, "What happened to blogging?" ”

He has limited energy and can't follow it every day, and Thomas spends most of his time hosting the blog.

Jessica said: "Rachel is going to gather the activists in the fan section for a fee of AA, and the party will discuss your new film. ”

Martin asked directly, "What do you think?" ”

Jessica pondered and said, "I think so, bring some pictorials or autographed photos about you to Rachel, and let her distribute them to the activists who put the fan section, and they will become a point of support for the fan network......"

She went to a professional art college, and she really has a higher level of education than Martin: "I think fans need to be managed, and a loyal fan may bring five or six people around, maybe more, especially when the movie is released." ”

Antonio suddenly interjected: "It's not entirely accurate, I'm like this, and the ten most iron-clad fans can't pull me." ”

Bruce looked at his tonnage and said directly, "Twenty is not enough." ”

"Movies are all about making ordinary people's money." Martin then: "You're a rich man, plus a miser." ”

Jessica smiled at Antonio, "You're not in the group I'm talking about. ”

"Ignore him." Mattin, after a moment of contemplation, said, "One of my new films is coming out in February. ”

Jessica knew: "There are eyes across the mountain", but except for a main poster, no other materials have been released for the time being. ”

Martin looked ahead: "I'm completely different from the wax museum in this film, I'm the absolute protagonist, I asked the crew for some promotional materials about me, and you bring it to Rachel." ”

Jessica was pleasantly surprised: "Great, they really want it." ”

"Do you have something to do tomorrow?" Martin saw Jessica shake his head and said, "Come with me to Warner Studios tomorrow morning, the crew should have some relevant promotional materials, I will apply for a batch, and you will bring Rachel at that time." ”

Emily said, "Okay, Jesse and I are waiting for you in the morning. ”

The next morning, Jessica and Emily drove Martin to Warner Studios.

Martin told them to wait in the antechamber and went straight to Craven to explain the matter.

Craven has been in Hollywood for decades, and he has made commercial films from beginning to end, and immediately had an idea: "It's been half a month since the first poster was released, and according to the normal rhythm, the crew should also carry out a second wave of publicity, this activity is good, after all, you are the absolute protagonist of the film." ”

Martin followed up with his words: "That's what I think too, this is a formal propaganda campaign, and the informal campaign can't be launched until after the New Year, and the Warner Bros. publicity budget is quite sufficient, can we do both at the same time?" ”

With him as a propaganda center, the benefits are self-evident, and Martin certainly wants to promote: "Weiss, that's what I'm thinking, should it be an official event?" I remember you mentioned last time that the first version of the trailer was cut out, so take this opportunity to have a release ceremony for fan linkage? ”

Craven thought for a moment and said: "It's absolutely possible, the crew can release the first trailer at the event, and then fully launch it on the media platform, and at the same time present promotional materials to fans and media who come to the scene to warm up the film in advance." ”

It has only been a little more than two months since the release of "Eyes Across the Mountain", and the time is not long.

Craven simply called a meeting between the crew and Warner Bros. distribution representatives to discuss it.

Bruce goes to inform Jessica and Emily and tells them to be patient for a while, and if they can't sit still, they can go around the studio.

Emily wanted to check it out, but was stopped by Jessie: "Let's wait here for a while." ”

After more than 40 minutes, a staff member of the crew came to call them.

The two men saw the famous Wes Craven.

A publicity supervisor of the crew came over and discussed the subsequent activities with the two in detail.

Emily didn't expect that an event spontaneously initiated by fans at the beginning was valued by the crew and turned into official publicity.

In order to show his attention, Martin personally logged on to the blog and posted a reply under Rachel's call to action in the fan section.

"I just saw that everyone's support is the most important thing to me, in order to thank everyone for their support, I am ready to give some support to the event and apply to the crew of "Eyes Across the Mountain" for a batch of the latest materials for people to bring over."

I can't finish posting, and multiple replies will soon appear below.

Martin calmed down, waited patiently for a while, and posted another one: "I just contacted the crew of "Eyes Across the Mountain", the crew heard about everyone's support for me, and decided to sponsor this event, and the crew is responsible for the cost of the event. ”

As soon as this reply came out, the blog immediately came alive.

The number of people signing up has skyrocketed.

Rachel may have been notified, and Rachel had asked Martin in person, and a new post was made, calling on everyone to support them on the spot.

The wax museum's popularity helped Martin attract a large number of fans, many of whom used his blog as a base for his activities.

Under Rachel's new post, the number of applicants soon exceeded 100.

The crew also acted quickly, immediately mobilizing the budget, planning the event process, contacting the media, and booking the venue.

Jessica and Emily also became the liaison between the crew and the fan group.

"Let them join the crew temporarily." Martin needs labor to help him do things, and the crew pays the best: "They will be used in follow-up publicity." ”

Craven didn't care about this, and nodded in response, "Yes." ”

Martin asked, "Can you?" ”

Jessica immediately said, "I don't have a problem. ”

Emily hesitated, she still had roles to audition.

Jessica kicked her under her feet, and said that Emily's brain was all over her chest.

Emily reacted, "I'm joining." ”

Wait until the others leave, Wes Craven is still thinking about it.

After a while, he said to Martin: "Just ordinary movie fans, the popularity is still not enough. ”

Martin reacted a lot: "I'll find a way to take Anne over." ”

Two more today. Gather your manuscript and prepare for the next round.
