Chapter 292 Countless people are stunned
"Hi, dear audiences, good evening. I am your old friend, Winstanton!"
The interview program "I Am a Celebrity" is one of the ace programs of Upn TV. After acquiring and integrating WB TV network, the program was moved to WB TV network as a whole. After all, it is a public TV network and has many natural advantages.
Winstanton, a wise and humorous white fat man, is one of the pillar hosts of the Jin Shuguang TV Group.
Zhu Ke has also appeared on stage.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV and the audience, compared to many people recently, I have watched a dv video called "Blair the Witch" in the theater." Winstanton said.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people nodded immediately.
There is no way, who made "Blair the Witch" so popular recently!
There are many high-box movies in Hollywood every year, but not any movie can easily achieve a good result of over 100 million yuan in box office in North America.
"Everyone, today we will reveal the popular dv video of "The Witch Blair" in the United States!" Winstanton emphasized his tone.
Revealing the secret?
Suddenly, many people present showed an expression of interest.
Of course, many people find it strange.
"Is "I Am a Celebrity" not an interview program? How did you change your career to a secret program?" A young woman said in confusion.
"I find it strange, too." A woman next to me responded.
Winstanton said loudly: "Next, let's invite two gentlemen, Daniel McRick and Edyado Sanchiz, to make a brilliant debut~"
Although hundreds of viewers at the scene were a little confused, they still welcomed them with applause.
Amid this warm applause, Daniel McRick, 37, and Edyado Sanchiz, 31, came to the stage.
Host Winstanton shook hands with him respectively.
The two sat on the stage at Winstanton's gesture.
Winstanton looked at the audience and said, "Everyone must be confused. What are the origins of these two people? What are the reasons and qualifications to appear on the show "I am a Celebrity"? Then, next, I want to tell you that the two of them have an inseparable relationship with the DV video "The Witch Blair".
After a pause, he said, "Or, without Daniel and Edyado, there would be no DV video of "The Witch Blair".
Wow~~~
One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!
As soon as he finished speaking, many people at the scene suddenly burst into an uproar.
"Daniel, Edyado, they are the director of the DVD video "The Witch Blair"!" Winstanton said in a shocking way.
Suddenly, the entire audience focused their attention on Daniel and Edyado.
At the same time, even Kevin Feige, who is backstage of the "I Am a Celebrity" program, is staring at the stage tightly at this moment.
"As long as they admit it, they are determined to scapegoats." Kevin Feige thought to himself.
"That's right!"
Daniel McRickron said: "The DV movie "Blair the Witch" was officially guided by my good partner Ed Yado."
Edyado also nodded heavily.
For a moment, the entire scene fell into a strange state of silence.
"Blair the Witch", it turned out to be a movie?!
A movie shot by people, not a top secret archive or real case.
Many people are confused.
Especially some people spend money to watch "The Witch Blair" in the theater. They are in a very complicated mood at the moment, and even a little angry.
"In other words, am I deceived?" a blonde teenager murmured.
Although many people were angry at the scene, host Winstanton completed the control of the scene well and suppressed all the noisy sounds on the scene.
In the following time, Winstanton asked a series of questions about "Blair the Witch".
Directors Daniel and Edyado tell the story behind the movie vividly...
"It's not a real case, it's just a movie!"
"It all comes from the ideas of our genius!"
"Don't you think such planning is great?"
"As we all know, a movie requires a lot of money from writing scripts, selling scripts, completing shooting, and then release. But if you look at "Blair the Witch", its production cost is only 60,000 US dollars!"
"We don't have a huge financial budget, no stars, and no superb special effects. At the beginning of the DV revolution, we successfully told everyone how a movie without a high budget was filmed!"
...
In fact, "Blair the Witch" is not all deceitful.
Its success also inspired many young directors later. As long as you have ideas and as long as you have a poor DV camera, you can make movies!
Everyone can be a director and shoot what they love!
The term "pseudo documentary" also successfully appeared in front of everyone.
The pseudo-documentary created by "Blair the Witch" has successfully set off a tide around the world. The "Agile Death Video" series, "The Ninth District" and other movies have all been influenced by the movie.
.........
Jinshuguang Entertainment Group.
Zucker finished recording of the special topic of "I Am a Celebrity" on "The Witch Blair".
"Boss, the two directors Daniel did a great job," Alexander laughed.
"That's right."
Zhuke nodded and said, "You inform Old Bill to let the navy work harder. At least before the episode of "I Am a Celebrity" is broadcast, the reputation of "The Witch Blair" on the Internet should not collapse too early."
"Yes, boss." Alexander responded.
Zhu Ke and others' ideas are very simple. Before the movie's reputation collapses on a large scale, maintain good popularity and earn more box office.
If the reputation is really unstoppable, it's okay.
This episode of "I Am a Celebrity" will be broadcast immediately, and the audience's anger of deceiving will be transferred to the director.
Well, Wald Pictures is still the innocent Wald Pictures!
Is Zhu Ke ruthless?
Not to deny it, one thing.
Successfully transferred the audience's anger and made money by covering your head.
The fraudulent and viral publicity plan undoubtedly overdraws the character and credit of the two directors, and is an act of killing chickens and getting eggs.
Look, is this what people do?
However, for Daniel and Edyado, not all of them are bad.
They have benefits, too!
Famous!
Become a famous name!
With a production cost of 60,000 US dollars, the filmed "Blair Witch" achieved a box office revenue of over 100 million US dollars in North America. Such a high profit ratio can be called shocking. In this regard, the two of them will also be famous in film history. And they will inevitably become the target of many Hollywood companies rushing to pursue.
Hollywood pursues success only asks the results, not the process.
In the marketing of "Blair the Witch", Wald Pictures successfully shirked the blame and made profits; and Daniel and the other ones were also sought after by Hollywood and successfully entered this fame and fortune;
Overall, this is a win-win choice.
Daniel and the other two are really fools, and do they really know nothing about the purpose of Wald Pictures?
No!
They pretend to be confused with clarity!
Overdraw your reputation and credit in exchange for the opportunity to become famous overnight.
Zhu Ke did not treat them badly, and each of them gave him a big red envelope, and the three starring actors were also beneficial.
Well, the blame was successfully passed!
really......
When the incident of "Blair the Witch" was exposed, the entire America was in an uproar.
"This is just a marketing campaign?!"
A movie audience looked at the newspaper in his hand and exclaimed: "Oh my God! Can a movie with a box office of over 100 million US dollars be made even $60,000?!"
Countless people were shocked!
However, a considerable proportion of moviegoers are furious!
"Am I a big fool?"
"I was actually cheated!"
"A movie with a $60,000 can actually achieve a box office of over 100 million dollars through marketing. What does it have?"
Chapter completed!
