Chapter 8 Real supernatural events? To the scene only found this DV
Legendary Pictures, in the conference room.
Chu Xuan, Evaluator Breno, Distribution Manager Dan, and Legendary President Joe Drake looked at each other.
Chu Xuan's expression was firm, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"No, since I can't see the sincerity of your company, I can choose not to cooperate and leave."
"Hey, Mr. Chu, wait and don't go!" Manager Dan was a little anxious.
"Chu, let's talk again."
The bearded, Judas-like CEO Joe Drake also starred in Retention.
Chu Xuan paused, sighed softly, and went back to the seat and sat down with his arms crossed.
"All ears."
After watching "Smart: Ghost Story" just now, the two of them were very moved.
But pseudo-documentary films are, after all, pioneering.
No one dares to take the risk and roll out the promotion in an all-round way.
In case the movie hits the street, director Chu Xuan has nothing to lose, and Legendary Pictures will suffer a lot.
Their channels and theater resources are limited, and the release of "Ghost Story" will definitely crowd out other films.
If the word of mouth is not good, it will smash the company's signboard.
This makes them have to be cautious.
Especially President Joe Drake!
Originally I heard that the director of the film is an Asian young man in his early 20s.
The way the movie was shot was weird.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse to cooperate.
But Breno and Dan, who have seen the film, both strongly recommend this film.
"Groundbreaking film form."
"Maybe it will go down in the annals of film history."
"If it is successful, it will make a steady profit, at least $50 million at the box office!"
The last sentence moved the president.
As long as you can make 30 million US dollars, it is absolutely not a loss.
After all, the market is a little bit bleak now, and the other film sources in hand are enough to sell 30 million.
Of course, it cannot be fully rolled out all at once. Thousands of theaters are showing at the same time, and the risk is too great.
After hesitating again and again, President Joe Drake simply gritted his teeth and decided to show it in a small area first!
If the word of mouth and box office are good, then consider expanding the scale in the United States.
"So, how about 100 movie theaters first?"
"Our legend will also cover the marketing expenses this time, how about it?"
Chu Xuan originally thought it would be raised to a dozen or so at most.
Unexpectedly, the other party directly rose to 100 points in one breath.
That means it's not just limited to Los Santos, and it's not just California.
It's a show in major cities across the United States.
With this level of spread, coupled with a certain amount of publicity, Chu Xuan is fully confident that it will be completely popular.
"No problem, gentlemen, you won't regret it."
The three of Legendary Pictures looked at each other secretly, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
Obviously the other party is a 20-year-old hairy boy, why does it bring such a sense of oppression?
"By the way, Chu. The publicity cost of $500,000 is a bit low. Do you have a better publicity plan?"
Joe Drake finally probed.
He always feels that Chu Xuan has something to rely on, and there must be a mature plan to promote the film.
Otherwise, sitting in front of him would never be so calm.
Sure enough, Chu Xuan nodded and said only two words.
"Social-media."
"Tell me in detail?" The president moved in his heart, as if he had an epiphany.
In the reality of the previous life, he was very clear about the propaganda method of the movie "Ghost Records".
And many people are imitating this kind of propaganda.
So much so that everyone is accustomed to seeing similar methods later.
Naturally, Chu Xuan was sure to frighten these people. He took a sip of the mineral water on the table and talked freely.
"We can make up a story, not as a movie propaganda, but as a real event propaganda."
"Besides everyone, the new homes of two young people are haunted."
"When the police arrived, Micah was dead and his girlfriend Katie was missing. Only a DV was found at the scene, and the top-secret footage recorded in it even drove a police officer crazy..."
"When they hear this news, they will spread it consciously without our publicity."
"Then we will announce it again. Legendary Pictures obtained the film source by accident. In order to prevent the accident from happening again, the real image is now released to the public."
"Think about it carefully, will they go to the cinema to find out?"
These film companies are all inherited from the last century, and they are relatively old-fashioned in terms of publicity methods and ideas.
Even using the Internet to promote, it is just advertising on different online platforms.
They did not, or disdain to use some "wild way" to promote the film.
President Joe Drake heard Chu Xuan's description and his eyes lit up!
Not only is he an excellent director, but he is also so knowledgeable about marketing?
Joe Drake was completely moved.
"Dare to ask Mr. Chu, how do you plan to bid for this film? Buyout system, or...emmmm, how about the share?"
Hearing this, Chu Xuan moved in his heart and smiled secretly.
