Chapter 705: Take Him Home
The strangely shaped white yacht approached and sounded its whistle, causing Martin to put away his fishing rod and look that way.
Mene asked, "The ship carrying the beauties has arrived?" ”
Martin tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "You called it?" ”
Mene noticed that Celine Dion's eyes swept over, and hurriedly said, "How is it possible! ”
Bruce hurried over with a radio, pointed to the white yacht, and said to Martin, "The guy on that boat wants to talk to you." ”
Martin took the radio, left the crowd, and said, "Hello. ”
"Isn't it Leonardo?" The man over there asked, "Isn't this Leonardo's ship?" ”
Martin said directly: "I'm Martin Davis, are you?" ”
The guy over there laughed: "Hey, old guy can't even hear my voice?" Yes, this damn radio, the sound will be distorted! ”
He exclaimed, "I'm Elon Musk!" ”
The man who spent nearly 10 million dollars to sponsor "The Martian", and there was a lot of interaction between the two sides during the negotiations, Martin simply issued an invitation: "I borrowed Leonardo's yacht for a party, are you interested in coming?" ”
"Wait for me!" The radio hung up over there.
Not long after, a speedboat carrying two men came to Martin's side and boarded from the aft platform.
Musk and Dalullah-Riley beckoned to Martin.
Martin brought Elizabeth to greet them, led them to the place where the crowd was gathered, and gave an introduction to the crowd.
Elizabeth is in charge of entertaining Dalula Riley.
Musk said he had something to talk about.
Martin took two fishing rods and went fishing with him on the other side.
Musk skillfully tied the hook, hung the bait, got off the rod, and said: "The Martian premiere, don't forget to invite me." ”
Martin fastened the rod to the guardrail jack and said, "You're a big financier, and the invitation has already been prepared." ”
Musk said: "Invite more beauties at the premiere. ”
Martin pointed to the back: "You have a wife." ”
"You still have a girlfriend! Haven't you been partying everywhere and looking for beautiful women? Musk has seen a lot of Martin's gossip: "I heard a rumor in the modeling circle, I haven't been tested by you, I can't be considered a supermodel, is this true?" ”
Martin said casually: "Alexandra Ambrosio, Carolina Kokuva, Angela Lindwo have formed a fashion supermodel team, and they used me as a test for newcomers to join the group." ”
Musk is also a fun-loving person: "I also want to join and test the rookie model!" ”
During the sponsorship negotiations, Martin got acquainted with him and said directly: "You fat body is not convincing." ”
Musk looked down and said, "It's too troublesome for you to do this, I'll still use a simple and trouble-saving method." ”
"The banknote power is really easy to use." Martin understood what he meant: "It's going to be a lot less fun." ”
Max became serious again: "I can't waste too much energy on women, I have to put my limited time on promoting scientific and technological progress and landing on Mars as soon as possible." ”
He reiterated his old words: "You have made at least hundreds of millions of dollars in movies in the past few years, invest in space with me, and work hard for mankind to move towards the universe." ”
How could Martin listen to this kind of foolish words, and said: "It's okay to invest with you, but I choose Tesla." ”
Musk said: "Didn't you buy a lot of shares from the secondary market? ”
Martin said half-truthfully: "Soon it will be the end of the year, and many of my share settlements will be in the account, and the money will only depreciate if it is left in my hands, and it is better to invest it in vain." ”
Musk understood: "Do you want to participate in Tesla's financing and share expansion? ”
Today's Tesla tram has just started, and it is not the future, Martin smiled without saying a word, pressed the electric wheel on the fishing rod, and a deep-sea fish that bit the hook was pulled up.
Financing and stock expansion are looking for strong investors, and Musk believes that Martin is far from enough.
But when he saw the fish he pulled up, he suddenly thought of the tram promotion.
Fuel vehicles are the absolute mainstream of the market, and it is not easy to promote electric vehicles.
Musk mentioned again: "How about being the global spokesperson of Tesla? If you are willing to agree, I have enough reasons to convince the board of directors for the next financing expansion. ”
Martin said, "Aren't you talking to my agent? ”
Tesla's negotiations with Thomas have not progressed much, mainly because Cadillac's contract has not yet expired.
The electric wheels on Musk's rod make a buzzing sound, and a fish is quickly pulled up.
He added: "You've dealt so much with Johnny Depp, are you familiar with Amber Heard? ”
Martin turned to look at him and asked, "Are you interested in her?" ”
Both of them are old embryos, and there is no need to hide it, Musk said directly: "Whether it is appearance or figure, Amber is my favorite one." ”
Martin gave him a thumbs up: "You have such a strong taste, aren't you afraid of what she does in your bed, or do you just like the smell?" ”
Musk doesn't care: "What are you afraid of, let her clean herself up beforehand!" ”
Martin said: "You still know how to play. ”
"How's that, do me a favor." Musk is like a super pimp: "You help me with Hollywood, Silicon Valley and the tech world." ”
Martin asked curiously: "I haven't heard of a very famous beauty in the tech industry." ”
Musk waved his hand and said heroically: "I'll introduce you to a batch another day." ”
Not one, but a batch! Martin thought for a moment and said, "You know 'The Lone Ranger', right? ”
Musk nodded: "The movie starring Johnny Depp, I have seen entertainment news, it was during the filming of this film that Depp peed on you and your crew." ”
His heart moved, and inspiration exploded: "Martin, I'm helping you, think about it, I got Depp's wife, and I also helped you take revenge." ”
Martin said: "The Lone Ranger project was snatched from me by Larry Ellison's daughter, Megan Ellison, and with what I know about her, this confident woman will definitely give me an invitation to the premiere when the time comes, and you can go with it." ”
Musk laughed: "Great idea! ”
If Martin is a bastard in the entertainment industry, he is a bastard in the tech industry: "I'll bring a few beautiful women in the tech industry over when I arrive, and you exchange Amber for me, and I'll exchange them for you, this kind of game is exciting to play." ”
Other Martins don't care, but he won't miss out on being able to do Depp's business.
The two fished for a while, and the Musk couple returned to him after lunch on the yacht at noon.
Before dark, the yacht returned to the marina.
The crowd departed one after another.
Martin carried the fish box and put it in the trunk of the Escalade.
Elizabeth helped put away the other items, looked back at the yacht, and said, "Is this Leo's ship?" ”
Martin put it simply: "He bought it from a rich man in Silicon Valley. ”
He vaguely saw it: "I remember that there are a lot of yacht companies in Los Angeles, and when you have time, you can ask Lily to accompany you around, and we will order one, and it will be called the Elizabeth." ”
Elizabeth smiled and said, "Okay." ”
The two got into the car, and Martin drove back to Beverly Hills.
Bruce didn't come back, but went straight to Jody.
Probably stimulated by the yacht and the Elizabeth, Elizabeth worked hard that night and couldn't eat breakfast the next morning.
…………
After a short sabbatical, Martin devoted all his energy to the promotion and marketing of "The Martian", and frequently appeared in various media events along with the main creative staff such as Ridley Scott and Jessica Chastain.
The promotion of "The Martian" has long been in full swing.
In September, Disney Studios teamed up with NASA and SpaceX to endorse the film's story background and technical aspects.
NASA and SpaceX have publicly called the film a promotional video for the human program to inhabit Mars.
The former's astronaut and planetary science minister, Jim Green, has appeared on several occasions for professional interviews with The Martian.
"NASA now requires all employees to read The Martian." His words have already appeared in various news and online videos: "This gives us an opportunity to talk about Mars and how we can send humans to Mars." ”
In October, the finished film of "The Martian" entered the International Space Station, and several astronauts appeared on Earth together, which also brought film marketing into space for the first time.
In addition, a number of special paper-printed posters that went to space and returned to Earth were also pushed into the market and became gifts for the movie pre-sale lottery.
The crew and Disney Studios released the film's main poster, with a new promotional title added to the large close-up of Martin in a spacesuit - Take Him Home!
In the first two preview meetings of the film, the response of the female group was extremely enthusiastic.
You must know that for such a science fiction movie, men are the main audience.
On the basis of the high evaluation of male audiences, having the recognition of female audiences means that "The Martian" may have a larger market space.
Of course, there is a risk, because female audiences are not the main audience for sci-fi films, and it is generally difficult to stimulate their general interest in this genre.
After a series of research and analysis of marketing strategies, Disney Studios decided to finalize the global communication strategy of "The Martian" as "Take Him Home", highlighting the emotional factors in the film as much as possible in various promotional materials, and the space sci-fi elements are only used as auxiliaries, so as to guide the interest and reputation of female audiences.
In the pre-sale, it goes without saying that male audiences have a significantly higher ticket purchase rate than ordinary science fiction movies.
Disney Studios' marketing strategy paid off.
The decade that Hollywood has from now on is also a decade that belongs to Disney.
Entering mid-November, the popularity of "The Martian" is high.
The latest billboards appear on major radio stations, television stations, website videos and social media.
"This is a movie that makes NASA list the original book as a must-read for employees, this is a movie that puts the name of Ridley Scott on it and makes fans list it as a must-see of the year, and this is a movie that Hollywood spends the most manpower and material resources to rescue Martin Davis on Mars!"
