Some people in the United States, mainly teenagers and college students, also launched heated discussions about this drama.
"What kind of movie is this "Blair Witch"?!"
"Even Stephen King stood up, what is this show like?"
…
"I heard that this drama is being shown in underground cinemas. I really want to see it!"
"Yeah, look what kind of ghost movie this is!"
…
At the same time, Stephen King's comments in newspapers attracted many loyal readers who liked him. Under the guidance of the horror god, these loyal fans strongly refuted and criticized the film "Blair Witch".
"This is a bad movie. Although I haven't watched it yet, I know it is definitely one!"
"Stephen King has already said that this drama is selling sheep over dogs!"
"If our idols are right, they must be right and oppose this bad show!"
…
"We're going to find the guy who brags about this drama and kill him!"
"Yes, find the author of "The Past and Present Life of Blair Witch" and throw dirty water on him!"
"Find this scum! Dig out this poisonous weed! He is a cancer, eradicate him!"
…
Faced with this kind of verbal and written criticism that gradually became louder and louder, as well as the threatening human flesh search, he was always faced with the danger of smashing eggs, pouring water and sulfuric acid on him after being found... Fat Jack couldn't stand it any longer.
If possible, Fatty would not hesitate to kick out Yi Feiyang who was squatting behind him and making trouble, and then tell those people, "This guy is my master, he is the mastermind!" As for whether people will regard China as
If Yi Bian dies, then it is out of the fat man's consideration.
However, Fat Jack quickly gave up this idea because he knew that his master was by no means a kind person and would kill him first before being beaten!
This loss-making business is not cost-effective and cannot be done!
After some careful consideration, Fat Jack came up with a trick... pretend to be sick and take sick leave!
So Fat Jack took the initiative to find Yi Feiyang and said that his blood pressure has been extremely high recently, his fat is swollen, his kidneys are weak, his legs are weak, and his urine is yellow. He needs to go to a nearby hospital for medical treatment and can no longer work for you, Master.
Yi Feiyang's instructions for his sick leave were simple: get back to work quickly, or I'll kick your balls out!
Fat Jack said nothing, and continued to immerse himself in writing with his balls between his legs. Of course, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help shouting: Is this still America? Is there still democracy?!
In fact, at this time, Yi Feiyang was already happy that Stephen King took the initiative to stand up.
Anyone who is good at hype knows that any breaking news needs to be speculated on both sides. If the hype is done well, it will become very popular. On the contrary, if you just raise the flag and shout for a long time, everyone will
It will taste greasy and reduce the effect of stir-frying.
Originally, Yi Feiyang was worried about this, but Stephen, the terrifying king, came out, as if he was dozing off. Someone happened to give him a pillow, and the gift was not an ordinary pillow, but a famous brand pillow that is well-known at home and abroad, in one word...
Cool!
Sure enough, with the explosion of public opinion, the popularity of the drama "Blair Witch" has already broken through the underground film market and begun to take the real stage, facing Los Angeles and North America, preparing to set off an unprecedented storm of public opinion.
How did Stephen King, the great master, know that he had unintentionally done a great favor to Yi Feiyang, a half-time writer, and he was still righteously criticizing "Blair Witch", which caused a huge increase in the sales of "Hollywood Entertainment News", and the newspaper president was pissed off.
From ear to ear, as for the story of "Blair Witch", with the newspaper war, it began to spread wider and faster...
As for Yi Feiyang's movies, they have already been completely messed up by these media. How can five movie theaters be enough? Yi Feiyang rented more than thirty small cinemas to continue showing this film. But what is unexpected is that the theaters were full.
, many audience members did not even have seats. In order to solve this problem, the fat man Gao Jiabao bought a large number of plastic benches.
If you don’t have a seat to watch, it doesn’t matter!
Let the bench help you!
Ticket sales, ticket sales, a performance is no longer a few thousand dollars before, but tens of thousands!
Yes, tens of thousands, colorful dollars!
The fat man failed to count the money, but Yi Feiyang was thinking that the influence of this drama is still too weak, and it is currently only limited to a few people in Los Angeles.
In each region, how to make this drama show in the United States and even around the world is the key.
As mentioned before, the show "Blair Witch" was only publicly released in small underground movie theaters. Although more than 30 movie theaters worked together, the box office reached 7.8 million, which is pretty good. It is comparable to the serious American movies.
, compared with the global release, it is just a drop in the bucket, childish.
Yi Feiyang felt anxious.
Major Hollywood film companies are also worried.
Originally, it was clear that the competition for hegemony in Hollywood's summer vacation was between two dramas, "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Last Day." However, a dark horse suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. This dark horse is not serious yet.
The route was through underground movie theaters. The box office was soaring all the way, and many young people were crying and wanting to see this movie.
Those movie theater owners are so miserable, who knew this movie would be so attractive?! Damn it, you don’t want to watch such a good blockbuster, but you watch this kind of low-cost bullshit movie!
However, commercial movies have always followed one principle, that is... the audience is God!
Anything that the audience likes to watch is a good movie and a blockbuster movie.
Blockbuster movies represent box office and profits!
For the sake of profit, many people are willing to abandon everything and even trample on justice and justice, let alone lower the price and negotiate with the copyright owner of "Blair Witch" for distribution.
…
At the same time, the newly formed Lionsgate Films.
As the company's president, banking magnate Gusta, he was poring over the data reports.
Sitting in front of him was Mr. Mike, the company's distribution director.
Mr. Mike was very uneasy and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief from time to time.
"You seem to be telling me that this is a low-cost movie not worth investing in?" Gusta asked, looking at the data report.
"Yes, that's true." Gusta replied wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"But now this drama has become a miracle. In just ten days, the box office revenue of this small movie has reached an astonishing 130,000 yuan! It's just some underground movie theaters, and the box office has reached 130,000 yuan. If it is really put on the table, then
What will happen?! Do you understand what I mean?”
"Yes, I understand." Director Mike was sweating profusely. If possible, he would even dig a hole in the ground.
"I don't care how you think, whether it's your brain or your butt, in short I'm very interested in the drama "Blair Witch" and I want its distribution rights, you know? You must get it!"
"Yes, boss, I will definitely try my best!" Supervisor Mike assured.
