Chapter 122 Two people's screening hall(1/2)
"Man, this is a traffic jam, are you in a hurry?" The black driver was puzzled when he saw the change in expression on Chen Tian's face.
At the beginning, he felt Chen Tian depressed when the traffic jam, but now Chen Tian smiled.
You know, it has been almost half an hour since the traffic jam started, and in this half hour, I only walked a few hundred meters.
Chen Tian turned his head and looked at the black driver in the driver's seat: "Of course I'm anxious, my family is still waiting for me to go back.
But what can I do if I’m anxious? Why not wait patiently. Perhaps a music song is a good choice.”
"Your mentality is really good, but there is no way. I'm used to this situation, damn traffic jams."
With the complaints, music began to sound in the taxi.
Chen Tian smiled and began to seriously think about the feasibility plan brought by traffic jams.
The six major theaters are not large, but most of them have very good geographical locations. The geographical advantage, coupled with the surrounding supporting facilities and internal environment, has led them to take away a large number of viewers.
In contrast, there is not much difference in the internal facilities and environment of other theaters, especially those with small theaters.
Generally, the location is far less than that of the six major theaters. In addition to urban theaters, the location of theaters in the city is also relatively remote. Such congenital differences have caused them to be unable to gain a large number of viewers.
What Chen Tian wants to take advantage of is this congenital difference, turning the remote location of these theaters into a favorable condition to attract people to the theater.
Although it sounds difficult, people have inertia after all.
Under normal circumstances, few people are willing to give up their familiar environment and choose unfamiliar places, not to mention that this place cannot be compared with what they were originally.
But this time Chen Tian is going to try it. If it succeeds, Chen Tian is going to completely give up the last 300 theaters in the six major theaters.
Chen Tian knew that this time, the gambler was absolutely in the sense of the gambler. If the gambler was not successful, the box office of "The Little Sunshine Beauty" would definitely be greatly impacted.
The original goal of 100 million is not successful once the bet is not successful. The worst case may not even reach the data of 30 million.
Chen Tian still maintained his original view on the promotion of "Hard Fruit Candy".
Develop female audiences as much as possible, and at the same time, promote them heavily in print media and the Internet before developing female audiences.
The publicity method still does not follow the normal route, but takes a detour.
At Grandma Wang's home in Chinatown, Los Angeles, this little guy Eda was squatting beside Grandma Wang and looking at the TV screen with his eyes.
When Chen Tian was about to reach the door of his house, the little guy Eda jumped off the sofa and guarded the door.
Grandma Wang smiled at Ada's appearance, and soon Chen Tian returned home.
The little guy turned around Chen Tian's legs, as if telling Chen Tian how much it missed him.
On the second day after Chen Tian returned to Los Angeles, MGM's promotion of "Hard Fruit Candy" started first, and conducted a survey on Yahoo on how you would treat pedophile men.
At the same time, the prototype article "Hard Fruit Candy" that Chen Tian once saw was reprinted on the forum, and hired people to comment from both positive and negative aspects.
One side supports the actions of these girls and claims that although doing so violates the law, these girls are also trying to uphold justice.
The other party opposed the behavior of these girls. Then he admitted that the men were guilty and was held legally responsible for these girls.
Based on the hiring of employees, it successfully attracted attention.
MGM official website also officially set aside "Fruit Hard Candy". "Fruit Hard Candy", which is classified as R, will be previewed in 100 theaters across the United States on October 10.
What makes people feel most incredible is that MGM specifically emphasized on its official website that it is not recommended for men to go to the theater to watch, and this suggestion slogan is particularly eye-catching.
"Don't let men go to the cinema?"
MGM's special suggestions aroused the curiosity of many people and drove people to click on the "Fruit Hard Candy" page.
On the left side of the top of the home page is a frown girl, and on the other side is a handsome mature man with a camera hanging on it and smiling.
Between the two is the title of "Hard Candy" of "Hard Candy".
The 1-minute trailer was not edited according to the plot. Instead, the scenes taken by Chen Tian were combined with the scenes in the plot.
The two characters played by Jennifer Lawrence and Jeff played by Joe Hamm were edited separately.
The two characters crossed in the trailer, and the first one appeared was Jennifer Lawrence's agile eyes. Jennifer Lawrence supported the desk with both hands and held his chin, as if thinking about something.
As the camera turned, Jeff looked like he was at work. He held the camera and smiled charmingly. Joe Ham looked particularly handsome and mature.
From the first ten seconds, no one could have thought that Joe Ham would be a pedophile at first.
The camera then switches to Jennifer Lawrence showing her mature side and the scene of wearing a surgical suit holding a scalpel in her hand.
Under the scalpel, Jeff was tied to the table and was sweating profusely, shouting NO.
Then the camera turned and appeared. The scene where Joe Hamm rushed into the bathroom with a scalpel. Jennifer Lawrence showed a nervous look.
Here the trailer turned dark, and then the works of Justin Chen, director, will be officially released on October 10.
With just one minute trailer like this, the men who clicked in could not see any reason why they could not go to the theater.
Many people in the message area have sent messages asking why men are not recommended to go, but MGM has no reply.
"I didn't expect you to look for me." Sophie Marceau plucked her long hair.
Chen Tian picked up the coffee and took a sip. He did not disappoint him after seeing Sophie Marceau today.
But Sophie Marceau couldn't give him the feeling he wanted. Chen Tian put Sophie Marceau and Angelina Jolie together in his mind.
In contrast, Chen Tian still feels that Sophie Marceau lacks a lot.
Chen Tian also knew that it was difficult to find an action actress in Hollywood that could be comparable to Angelina Jolie. Whether it was temperament or action, Angelina Jolie was able to get it.
"I like your movie very much, and then I thought of inviting you after having the script."
"Why aren't Angelina Jolie, or Kate Beckinsale, Milla Jovovich all good.
If I play the action scenes in this script, I don’t have confidence.
If there are other types of videos I think I would like to try them out, I have watched your "Burning Live".
If you give me Rita’s character, I must be very interested, and it’s just as free.”
Sophie Marceau's smile seemed to be able to penetrate into people's hearts. Even though she was nearly forty years old.
Time also left traces on her body, but the temperament of a jade girl on her body did not diminish at all, but instead had a hint of smell.
After saying goodbye to Sophie Marceau, Chen Tian felt a little disappointed. It was not Sophie Marceau's departure, but to find an actress who tried not to be inferior to Angelina Jolie.
If there is no suitable actress, the film will be greatly reduced. Chen Tian doesn't want to see such a scene.
As long as the actress is confirmed, the remaining roles will be arranged easily, including the male lead.
After the role is decided, Chen Tian can think about everything about this film based on the characteristics of the male and female protagonists themselves.
One year is enough for him to think about every detail carefully, but it all comes from Chen Tian finding the actress.
David Ellison once tried to dig Angelina Jolie from 20th Century Fox, but at this time the Ellison brother and sister were not as powerful as the future generations.
Now they are just a newcomer who has just entered the film industry, and Angelina Jolie is not an ordinary first-line star either.
In the end, the idea of poaching failed. David Ellison did not tell Chen Tian about the failure of his digging of Angelina Jolie.
"If it really doesn't work, go through the Actors' Union." Chen Tian sighed and walked towards Sunset Avenue.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the car in Los Angeles is far less congested than when he came back yesterday, and the whole road looks much more spacious.
Before he knew it, Chen Tian walked to the entrance of a Cinemark flagship store, and next to the flagship store was a large McDonald's store.
Just like most McDonald's stores in the United States, most people leave directly after buying them. Few people stay in the store and eat before leaving.
Although it is working hours in the afternoon, the McDonald's store will not be as deserted as it is now.
"It's that bastard Justin Chen!"
Chen Tian took a step past McDonald's and took a subconscious look when he passed the temporary sales window open beside him.
At the temporary window was a black woman. Chen Tian didn't expect that after taking a look, the woman recognized him and scolded him.
"Madam, have I offended you?" Chen Tian frowned and stopped.
“Not you, will we have no business? We have canceled the Super Package Plan.
But no one came to my store. If it continues, we will be out of work and go home.”
Chen Tian had imagined the impact of "Super Burger King" on McDonald's, but he didn't expect that this woman would say so seriously.
"I will never eat fast food again! Justin Chen's work is really good. I think I want to watch his next film "The Little Beauty of Sunshine". "A woman's figure came from behind.
Chen Tian turned his head. A tall beauty walked towards him, and a handsome white man next to him: "Milly, I heard that he has a new work "Hard Fruit Candy", but MGM said that he would not recommend men to go."
"Is that so? Then I want to go and see it. You must accompany me at that time."
The two walked past Chen Tian, and the black woman at the window stared at Chen Tian with fierce eyes.
Chen Tian left awkwardly. He was very curious about the impact of this McDonald's store.
I just walked a few steps and found out the reason.
Because the Cinemark flagship store is under the Cinemark Cinema Group, Cinemark Cinema is the third largest cinema in the United States and the second largest cinema in the world.
Looking down the stairs, facing the intersection is a poster of "Kill Bill".
On the side wall of the stairs is a poster of "Super Burger King". Chen Tian finally knew the reason why the McDonald's store had no passenger flow.
Chen Tian looked at Uma Thurman, who was holding a Japanese samurai sword on the poster of "Kill Bill", and was also one of the candidates he once considered.
