Ryan, who was bent on preparing a new script, didn't pay much attention to the release of "Blair the Witch", even though it was the first film in his life.

Fortunately, Helen has been paying attention to this matter, and will call him every few days to explain in detail about the promotion and release of the film, and has already booked two movie tickets.

Even though Helen's tone had been calm, Ryan could still feel it, and there was a hint of excitement in her words.

Twentieth Century Fox's promotion of the film has not stopped, which can be described as overwhelming, and a lot of money is spent like water.

Of course, "Blair the Witch" cannot and is not suitable for a premiere, and it is better to be released quietly.

On the morning of April 1, Helen drove to a very remote theater, and she could see the entrance of the theater from afar, and there was a rare queue.

"As the director, investor, and screenwriter of the film, should you pay more attention to the release of the film?"

Looking at Ryan's calm eyes, Helen couldn't help but feel a little indignant, isn't he afraid that once the film does not perform well at the box office, he will leave Hollywood completely.

"Alright, Helen, I'm working on a new script these days. Ryan glanced at the line at the entrance of the theater and beckoned Helen to get out of the car.

I feel that the distribution department of Twentieth Century Fox is a little too cautious, and it can be directly released on a large scale, and there is no need for screenings at all.

How did he know that it was not that Twentieth Century Fox did not want to be released on a large scale, but that the theater companies agreed to be cautious and screen on a small scale first.

"New script!" Helen closed the car door and stared at Ryan with beautiful eyes.

She naturally knew that Ryan had been preparing a new script these days, but she had never had a chance to ask.

"What kind of film!"

Ryan got out of the car and closed the passenger door, and said lightly: "If nothing else, it should be a low-budget horror movie." ”

Small-budget horror films!

Helen's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and she said, "American horror?

"That's right. ”

Ryan took Helen's arm very skillfully and walked towards the theater.

Helen remained silent, gently pulled her arm out, and said, "Very smart choice." ”

Originally, she wanted to find a suitable time to remind Ryan not to write any creative scripts, but now it seems that she can completely do without it.

Almost all new directors will shoot some bizarre films, or they think very highly of themselves, want to take the helm of commercial blockbusters, or pursue artistry, and can only mix in the independent film circle for the rest of their lives, until they finally leave Hollywood.

There are very few directors who can choose an American horror film like Ryan.

American-style plasma horror films, with low investment costs, have a large number of loyal fans in North America, as long as the shooting is not too bad, it is easy to collect the cost.

It can be said that it is the best choice for new directors.

As soon as the two walked into the theater, Ryan saw a few missing person notices and couldn't help whispering: "It seems that Twentieth Century Fox has invested a lot in publicity." ”

"As far as I know, Twentieth Century Fox has a $5 million publicity budget alone, and that's not counting the money spent on printouts. ”

"So, if the film doesn't do well at the box office, Twentieth Century Fox will definitely blacklist you, and for a long time, it won't have anything to do with you, even me. Helen glanced at Ryan, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.

"So if the film is released and it is a big hit, will Twentieth Century Fox become more talkative? ”

"Like how the next film will be released!" Ryan said with a laugh.

"Attitudes will definitely change, but in terms of specifics, it depends on the quality of your next film. ”

Helen shook her head, trying to get Twentieth Century Fox to agree to the film's share distribution was not an easy thing to do, or even necessarily a good thing.

As they spoke, the two walked into the theater, and as far as the eye could see, there were almost no empty seats.

"There were quite a few people, and there were almost no empty seats. ”

"It seems that the plan was successful. ”

Ryan looked at the screening room in front of him, which could accommodate more than a hundred people, and except for a few empty seats in the corner, the rest were full.

"I hope so. ”

Helen couldn't help but remind: "Don't forget, today is Friday and the weekend, and starting next Monday is the key." ”

In fact, the screening of general niche films can have more than a dozen audiences, which is already a very good result.

The scene in front of you is just a special case.

As the film began to play, the two of them were silent, focusing on the film.

In fact, the two of them have watched it several times before, and they are very clear about the content of the film.

But for Helen, the film on the screen in front of her is of great significance to her or Star Agency, and it can completely change the development trend of the company.

The content of the film is very simple, and it can even be said that it is shoddy, and most people's attention is not on the film at all, they want to know how the three college students disappeared, and the legend about the witch Blair.

After a while, someone began to whisper.

"What a beautiful girl, it's a pity that she's also missing, and the guys in the search and rescue team are simply incompetent. ”

"I think maybe there really is a witch, otherwise the search and rescue team wouldn't have found anything!"

"Witches are just ridiculous lies, maybe they're being imprisoned. ”

"No, no, who's going to have nothing to do with imprisoning three college students! I think it was out of love and hatred or because of money or something, two of them murdered another college student and had to go into hiding. ”

Listening to the whispers around her, Helen's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and as long as there are no accidents, this film is now halfway there.

Ryan on the side, a little drowsy, the camera of the film shook badly, plus he had watched it several times a long time ago, and it was hellish if he could watch it at this time.

Even the people in the screening hall are mostly not rushing to see the movie.

Most of them were motivated by curiosity, or they wanted to help find the three missing college students.

At the same time, in a large theater in Los Angeles, an employee skillfully pasted missing person notices one after another, and couldn't help muttering quietly.

"Although it's the off-season for movies, there's no need to post a missing person notice. ”

Another employee in the distance walked over and asked with some confusion, "Yasen, what are you posting!"

"Doesn't it seem like a movie poster?"

The employee called Yasen couldn't help but complain and said, "You haven't come to help yet." ”

"I don't know what's crazy about the manager. ”

He came over and helped post a missing person notice together, saying, "Maybe it's because of the off-season of the movie, I want to earn more advertising money." ”

At this time, a screening hall ended the screening, and several audience members walked out of it, glanced at the missing person notice that was being posted, and asked, "Have the three college students found it?"

Yasen shook his head and said, "I don't think there should be, otherwise I wouldn't have posted the missing person notice in the cinema." ”

"Hopefully God can bless them. One of the women made a silent gesture.

"By the way, I heard that the tape seems to have been restored, and some small theaters can see the whole picture. ”

"What's fixed? You can see the whole picture!"

"So what are you waiting for, maybe we can find some useful clues. ”

For a while, several audience members walked out of the theater one after another, leaving the two staring at each other.

Yasen lowered his voice and said, "I bet that someone must be behind this matter, maybe it's just a propaganda hype." ”

"Okay Yasen, you just know it in your heart, don't talk nonsense, otherwise the manager will really kill you. Another employee hurriedly stopped Yasin from continuing.

Although they are just ordinary employees in the cinema, ordinary experience tells them that this must be a difficult matter.
