Chapter 171: Black Material
"When I was in Atlanta, I loved surfing the internet," he says. Martin is actually talking about his past life, but when you think about the kind of news you see on the Internet, there are some things that don't distinguish between countries: "I found an interesting thing that male netizens often can't avoid two things when they get together and gossip. ”
Ah Jia asked curiously, "Which two?" ”
Martin cocked up a finger: "Woman, discuss beautiful women." He put up a second finger: "Establishing a government, more precisely, is to discuss current affairs in society." ”
Craven is older and has relatively little contact with the Internet, but often hangs out with a bunch of men: "That's right, a group of big men get together, and the topic is either women or what's going on in the recent past. ”
Ajia fully agrees: "When I was younger, I used to discuss with people on the Internet how to get that bastard in the Elysée Palace. ”
Craven understood what Martin meant: "Compared with normal social hot spots, in fact, the public is more interested in black material in Washington, and Hollywood especially likes to engage in Washington conspiracy theories, why?" It's not that we are hostile to Washington, but the audience likes to watch these, Washington is full of shady black material, and all the shady scenes come from Washington. ”
Martin said: "These are released, keyboard warriors, that is, netizens who like to discuss social current affairs, will definitely pay attention to it, and discuss, and even take the initiative to discuss with others, Washington and the Pentagon's top secret black material, if I am a keyboard warrior, I will be excited to think about it." ”
Craven and Aka both laughed.
The former has a lot of experience in film promotion: "I discussed with the people at Warner Bros. that the fifteen-day cycle is divided into three phases in total, and to avoid the backlash of viral marketing, we will link it with the film at the beginning of the second phase." ”
"You're all seasoned professionals." Martin is only responsible for coming up with ideas: "I'm just a keyboard warrior who can only move his mouth." ”
Ajia said: "I hope to attract more keyboard warriors to our films. ”
Martin glanced at the time: "At noon, the smoke house, I'm in for a treat, the steaks and pianists there are good." ”
Craven asked, "Do you have a crush on the pianist there?" ”
"It's no joke, the pianist is a man." Martin pointed to his chest: "I am male and female. ”
The three of them left Warner Studios together and went to the restaurant opposite to enjoy lunch.
The publicity plan that has eyes across the mountain is recommended in an orderly manner.
In addition to the formal publicity, before Christmas, the first step of the viral marketing plan was officially launched.
…………
At the end of September this year, the report released by the CIA-led "Iraq Investigation Team" with 1,400 international experts was fruitless, and became the focus of the bipartisan entanglement in the general election, and the aftermath has continued to this day.
Although Americans don't care much about things outside of North America, they still cause a lot of turmoil when it comes to the election.
On the Internet, there are many netizens who search for and pay attention to weapons of mass destruction.
Ted, who works in Manhattan, goes to the portal Yahoo every day to read the news.
Before the Christmas holidays, when Ted was surfing the Internet, he suddenly found news of new weapons of mass destruction in a prominent position on Yahoo's homepage.
"America's Weapons of Mass Destruction Revealed!"
Ted clicked on the web page, and the bold text under the title instantly caught his eye: It is impossible to determine whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, but the United States must be the country with the most weapons of mass destruction in the world.
The article lists in detail the three major nuclear test sites in the United States.
Then, a series of secret documents were revealed.
The documents of many photographs are all stamped with "top secret".
It was all about the Nevada nuclear test site, and it involved the military's top-secret closure of the Nevada nuclear test site, such as the disappearance of an indigenous tribe and the loss of thousands of residents with cancer, deformities in themselves and their offspring, and so on.
It is followed by a URL link, saying that if you want to see the specific content, you can log in to this decryption website.
There has always been a market for conspiracy theories, and even people who don't believe in conspiracy theories will be curious to take a look at this kind of content when they see it.
Ted immediately clicked on the link, and a website called Nevada Nuclear Test Decryption appeared on the computer screen.
On the homepage of the website, some veterans who served at the test site hold up SOS signs and protest in Washington, demanding compensation.
It has their names on it, as well as a video of a veteran named Dave Crete being interviewed by the media.
Dave accused the military of concealing the reality of the nuclear radiation test, causing them terrible health problems, such as him suffering from a severe lipoma, and taking off his clothes on the spot and showing them in front of the camera.
Ted almost threw up, the lipoma on the veteran's back was close to the size of a grapefruit!
"It's horrible!" Ted muttered and continued to look down.
Later, there were interviews with residents of the former Nevada experimental site, who had to move out of their hometowns because of their long-term exposure to radiation and the same health concerns.
Below are their medical examination reports, as well as photos of some of those who were severely affected.
Many people have a scary appearance because of tumor lesions.
Seeing this, Ted couldn't help but log on to MSN and retweet the website to an interest group he joined.
It is full of young people who pay attention to social current affairs, in Martin's words, they are all keyboard warriors, and they also have the common characteristics of male keyboard warriors all over the world, and they like to discuss social current affairs and point out the country.
Such groups are also the most likely to believe in various conspiracy theories.
After Ted sent the link, he deliberately left a message: "Everyone take a look at this website, which discloses a lot of information about the military's nuclear tests. ”
Then he sent the link again.
The group suddenly became lively.
A lot of people run to see the website.
It's like the sand sculpture netizens in Martin's previous life group who post some kind of QR code, and it's uncomfortable not to look curious.
Another group Ted joined flashed a message, and he opened it to see that someone had posted the same URL link.
The man also posted some pictures and profile photos that he hadn't seen yet.
"In the nineties, personnel from an atomic energy evaluation agency disappeared in the Nevada nuclear test zone." The man typed quickly: "The information shows that when their bodies were found, they were highly decomposed and had been killed with sharp objects, and some photographs were found in the cameras they left behind. ”
Ted clicked on the photo and looked closely, the image on it was blurry, but he clearly saw some deformed people.
"It looks scary!"
"Are these true?"
The group said everything, but one thing was the same, these guys all went to those websites to look through the information.
Such a black material website has stimulated everyone's interest.
I'll come back to discuss it after reading it.
Ted also went back to continue looking, and a considerable part of the photos of the documents with the "top secret" seal mentioned that the nuclear test area was still inhabited, and that in the past six years, two groups of front-line collectors have disappeared, and the bodies of the latter group have not even been found.
Of course, some people think of one thing: "It can't be a related movie to be released, right?" ”
Viral marketing is nothing new.
But similar news and links have appeared on several portals, large forums and well-known blogs in North America.
Decryption websites spread from person to person like a virus.
…………
Near Warner Studios, a company that undertakes the outsourcing of film and television promotion.
In an office that can accommodate nearly 20 people, a propaganda group is busy sitting in front of a computer.
At the beginning of the month, they undertook the publicity outsourcing of "Eyes Across the Mountains", specializing in network promotion.
The members of the group mainly promote the website of Nevada's nuclear test declassification on portals, forums, blogs and related groups of chat software such as MSN, and guide online public opinion to attract as many people as possible.
Warner Bros.'s Daniel came over to take a look.
The team leader reported real-time data to him: "The website was officially launched the day before yesterday, and it has more than 300,000 views today. ”
Daniel asked, "What about expectations?" ”
The person in charge thought for a while and said: "This kind of website that reveals the so-called black material in Washington is particularly arresting, and judging from today's situation, it is not a problem for tens of millions of people to see the website before the release." ”
Daniel reminded: "Master the rhythm, pay attention to the relevant network dynamics in time, and push into the second phase after the New Year's holiday." ”
Every day, the Nevada Nuclear Test Secrets website is updated with something new.
In 1982, for example, a large number of indigenous people in the vicinity of the nuclear test site sued the Washington authorities and the military, which was ruthlessly suppressed.
Relevant lawyers' letters and video materials have been exposed.
Warner Bros. is professional enough to publicize, and the preparation is very thorough, and what can't be done by itself, can be outsourced.
In the face of interests, you can always trust in the power of capital.
At Christmas, Anne returns to New York, and Louise has to accompany her parents for the holidays, so Martin can only pull Lao Bu and Mene to Antonio's Christmas Eve party together.
Tickets were required for the party, and the three Martins each brought a bottle of wine.
Antonio sits in front of the Christmas tree on the top floor, happy like a super fat version of Santa Claus.
Martin sat down at a table with him, and Mene came over with four glasses of wine.
The four of them chatted as they drank.
Antonio suddenly said mysteriously, "Have you heard?" Pentagon nuclear test radiation leak in Nevada, thousands of people got cancer, and supposedly deformed people! ”
Mene automatically answered: "Yes, I heard about it, and I also looked at the decryption website, Washington and the Pentagon are too dark to treat ordinary people as people!" ”
Bruce glanced at Martin and continued: "In the eyes of the upper class, ordinary people are consumables, and they can be rebuilt without it, and there are still a large number of immigrants who can't be built. ”
Antonio asked, "Lao Bu, you were a soldier, did the Pentagon really do that?" ”
"I don't know." Bruce raised his hand and pointed to his head, "If I knew, I would have been shot and killed." ”
Martin was very curious: "Who do you listen to?" ”
Antonio was the first to reply: "I heard from the three tenants on the first floor, they have been discussing it for the past few days. ”
Mene recently worked in a studio at Warner Studios: "I listened to people in the studio café and went online to look at it. ”
A tenant on the first floor heard it and came over to join in the fun: "I took a music tutoring class, and the male classmates in the class have been discussing this recently. ”
A guy passing by automatically answered: "In several groups of my MSN, there are a lot of people who post this. ”
Martin Xin said that the so-called black material of Washington and the military is really attractive.
