"Mr. Kaufman, thank you for your support!

...I know this is the last time, but none of us want our film to lose money, right?

...We must kill him, otherwise we...

...Don't worry, I'm different from those showy wrestlers!

...I'm waiting for your news, see you again!"

Martin Lawrence put down the phone, faced his friend Bobby Brown and his agent, and said: "Mr. Victor Kaufman supports our plan, but he needs to report to Mr. Barry Diller. After all, now

Mr. Barry Diller is the big boss..."

When the recording of "A Line Between Love and Hate" started, it was a project jointly invested by Martin, New Line Cinema and Victor Kaufman. However, when the film entered post-production at the end of last year, Victor Kaufman

His production company was sold to Hollywood tycoon Barry Diller, who had been an executive at Paramount and 20th Century Fox and now went it alone, and he became an executive at IAC Media who took dividends and did nothing.

If there weren't so many troubles with investors, the publicity expenses wouldn't be so stretched, Martin Lawrence complained in his heart.

Martin Lawrence's plan is to suppress the momentum of "Bonnie and Fraker" through hype. At present, "Bonnie and Fraker" is entirely relying on touting Quinn to gain popularity and build him into a fighter.

Attract action movie lovers into the theater to watch the movie.

There is a successful precedent for this. New Line Cinema introduced "Red Zone" which was released in February and was translated into "The Bronx Brawl". It followed this kind of promotion route. By promoting how powerful Jack Cheng's kung fu was,

It lured many Americans who had never watched foreign films into theaters.

In the end, "Red Zone" took away a total box office of 32 million U.S. dollars from the United States by grossing 10 million U.S. dollars in its first weekend. Of course, most of the money fell into the pockets of New Line Cinema, and Jack became

Didn't get much.

However, Jack Cheng, who has become famous in North America, still qualified to present the award at the Oscar dinner!

Martin Lawrence, who works closely with New Line Cinema, feels that he has seen through the low-level promotion methods of action movies. As long as he strikes accurately at key points, he can kill the momentum of "Bonnie and Frank".

The key point is Bai Quinn, specifically, whether Bai Quinn has real kung fu.

As long as it is proven that Bai Quinn is just a wrestler who plays tricks and tricks, most action movie audiences will lose their enthusiasm for watching the movie.

And he, Martin Lawrence, has exactly this ability, even the excuses are ready.

Martin's agent was very supportive of his plan, but his old friend Bobby Brown was a little worried. He advised: "Martin, you are thirty years old, and Quinn Bai is only twenty. I think you should know that in

What does age advantage mean in fighting sports..."

Martin was unmoved, pointing to a pair of gold-plated small glove trophies on the display cabinet, and said: "Brother, I am the champion of the Midwest Amateur Boxing League! And I exercise every week..."

This trophy was won by Martin Lawrence ten years ago. Although he later gave up boxing and embarked on the path of acting, he believed that this pair of "Golden Gloves" was the most important trophy in his life before he won the Oscar.

.

Boxers have always looked down on wrestlers.

Soon, the news about Victor Kaufman came back. Barry Diller agreed to Martin Lawrence's plan and would arrange for media friends to help build momentum.

…

Early on the morning of April 2, Bai Quinn opened the door and walked onto the balcony. Just as he was about to feel the cool sea breeze in the morning, his eyes were almost blinded by the sudden flash of light.

Outside the small courtyard, reporters were surrounded with long guns and cannons. The low courtyard wall could not block their lenses at all, and it just served as a stand for the camera.

Although Bai Quinn had experience in facing groups of reporters, this was the first time that someone blocked the door. She was so frightened that she quickly hid in the house, comforted Sarah who was awakened, and immediately called Harvey to ask.

Asked if it was his handiwork.

This is an unplanned situation!

Harvey's assistant said that the boss stayed up late to practice immortality and had not gotten up yet, so he asked him to wait for a while.

But Sarah needed to report to the crew, so Bai Quinn had no choice but to go out and deal with the reporters, hoping to send them away.

Bai Quin opened the courtyard door with a smile and walked to the street. He was immediately blasted by countless microphones in his face. From the reporters' incessant questions, Bai Quin finally figured out the reason why they were here.

It turned out that a black movie star named Martin Lawrence challenged him to a boxing match.

Bai Quinn wanted to refuse immediately. He had nothing to do with boxing with a movie star. There would be no benefit if he won, and it would be embarrassing if he lost.

But the battle in front of him made him feel the flavor of conspiracy, especially the provocative questions from some reporters. It seemed that the hole had been dug, waiting for him to jump into it!

Bai Quinn now felt the pain of being isolated and helpless. There was no manager, no assistant, no bodyguard, no friend, only Sarah who was inconvenient to show up. At this time, he didn't even have a chance to ask for other people's opinions.

After calming down and thinking about it, considering my status as a wrestling star, if I refuse the challenge, it will be a sign of weakness, which will definitely hurt my newly established popularity and quite ruin my character.

But the black movie star came to challenge because it was nothing more than the incident on Oscar night.

According to the publicity strategy, the incident was dominated by the public opinion environment, and the civil lawsuit was postponed by Alan Shaw until next month, avoiding the release of the movie. Anything related to the injury case, in the end,

The best thing is to wait until the first week's box office results are released to prevent unpredictable changes or even reversals. Therefore, this challenge should be decisively rejected.

Bai Quinn hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he first asked reporters who Martin Lawrence was and why he wanted to challenge him.

Quinn White didn't even know Martin Lawrence! Many reporters wrote down one more crime against white supremacists with narrow vision.

After the reporter's explanation, Bai Quinn found out who Martin Lawrence was and that he had a movie released at the same time as his. The reason turned out to be to increase topics for their movies, which was considered a marketing tool.

This really can't be blamed on Bai Quinn for not knowing her competitors.

The promotion of the movie is mainly run by the Miramax team. Only Chris of Wedmark Image is following him to learn some promotion methods. In addition to coming up with a project that uses his identity as a wrestler to promote, he also

I didn't care about the announcement.

Because no matter how good the box office sales are, their creative team can only look at Harvey's face and get a small consolation red envelope, and they can't even think about sharing the box office share.

If he hadn't thought that a better box office would allow Miramax to put the remaining money into the joint custody account of "The Bad Guys", he wouldn't even come up with the publicity plan. For him, in addition to improving his reputation,

The actual benefits are not huge.

Now knowing the identity of Martin Lawrence, Bai Quinn decided to accept his challenge, because if he backed down, he would immediately be crazily smeared, affecting the movie's box office and his own reputation.
