149 Quietly Finished
Albert opened the latest issue of the Washington Post. The front page headlines are the latest progress of the Iraq War’s “prisoner abuse gate”, and the headlines are George Bush’s positive response at the White House regular press conference. “The greenhouse effect is an issue that must be paid attention to, there is no doubt!”
A week has passed in January 2004, but the debate on greenhouse effect has obviously not cooled down. Instead, things are becoming more and more intense. ≥ Open the inner page of the newspaper and you can see professional articles on the harm of greenhouse effect:
"Under the current global warming trend, the ice age is likely to come again. The melting of the Antarctic ice sheet leads to a large amount of fresh water injected into the ocean, and the concentration of seawater is reduced. The oceanic conveyor belt gradually stops: the warm current cannot reach the cold sea area; the cold current cannot reach the warm sea area. The global temperature is reduced, and another ice age is coming. Most of the northern hemisphere is frozen, and blizzards and tornadoes will sweep across the continent. The ultimate harm may cause the dinosaur era to come again!"
The article is signed as a greenhouse effect research project sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation.
Albert looked at the article in a dumbfounded state, "This... isn't this our script?" He felt that his tongue was about to be tied, and he turned to the front page and confirmed again that it was indeed the "Washington Post", one of the top ten highest-selling newspapers in the United States, and one of the most authoritative newspapers. Especially after the scandal of the Watergate incident was exposed, the political correctness of the "Washington Post" was unquestionable.
Then, I turned back to the page just now and read it carefully. Albert was still stunned, "This is our script!"
Percy, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes, "You don't have to repeat the same thing twice. We are not deaf, you don't have a language barrier... Wait, or do you have a language barrier?"
Albert laughed dryly. "It's funny, the person who licked the plates clean after dinner yesterday was talking." The counterattack made Percy treat it as a warning, and he could not admit it or refute it. Albert stopped when he saw it, turned to look at Lance on the other side, "Is this also our arrangement?"
"No, of course not." Lance waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't have that much ability yet." At present, Lance can only be regarded as an unknown person, Theo, Ian, Gowen, and Twentieth Century Fox, and he has tried his best to promote it. Except for Ian's inciting environmentalists to take to the streets to demonstrate and march far beyond expectations. The effects presented by other parts are predictable, and there is not much increase.
The matter of the "New York Times" is not something that Lance can control. He has made two plans. One is that the "New York Times" publishes Javier's article as planned; if the "New York Times" refuses, Javier will publish it on his blog and then use the audience power of "City of God" to hype the article on the Internet. Lance has even thought about how to fan the flames on the Internet.
However, in the end, the New York Times keenly captured the fighter jets and firmly grasped them to maximize their influence. Compared with the massive start-up ceremony of Troy, the "day acquired" of low-key work did not spend a minute, but quietly extended the early publicity front for five months. Although the problem of greenhouse effect has not been linked to the "day acquired", once Lance makes efforts, the influence accumulated in the previous five months will be directly pushed to the extreme!
As for this article in the Washington Post, it does have nothing to do with Reims.
"Lance, did you expect all these situations?" Albert looked at Lance incredibly.
Percy, who was sitting next to him, rarely did not sing the opposite tune with Albert. However, he couldn't help but ridicule Albert and picked the grammatical error in his words, "Lance is not a prophet." Then he asked first. "How are you sure that they will unswervingly believe that the problem of the greenhouse effect is getting worse and worse?"
"Enterprise." Lance gave a simple answer. The greenhouse effect is not just as simple as "save" the earth. Those real environmental enthusiasts are too simple and simple. They don't know that a so-called "environmental problem" can involve tens of billions of interests, and can even be elevated to the level of national policies and guidelines. Protecting the environment is important, but compared to the environment, money, rights, reputation, etc. are more important in real life.
"Protecting the environment" can become a carrier of interests, destroying the environment in order to win benefits, and also protecting the environment in order to win more benefits. The greenhouse effect is such a problem. Javier's report is 99% of the truth. This project has been promoted for nearly ten years and maintains too many interests, which affects the whole body. No one will hope that the "truth" will be discovered.
In fact, in 2015, people suddenly discovered that the greenhouse effect was not as serious as imagined, and the rise in average temperature was far from reaching the expected height; sea level rise, land desertification, climate abnormalities and other phenomena appeared one after another, which cannot be ignored, but it is far from reaching the height of media alarmistness. However, this "serious problem" must still be serious because of "interest".
"But I didn't expect it to be so lively," Lance said teasingly.
Considering the situation in his previous life, Lance believes that the result after he fanned the flames was at most to attract the media and cause more discussions, and mainly to let more environmental protectors stand up and do free preliminary publicity for the movie. But now, things are out of control, and cleverly use the methods of news media, public opinion leaders, and conflicts of interest to completely hype this matter.
The effect now is at least triple than Lance expected, and even mobilized half of Hollywood, which was a complete unexpected gain.
"What's next?" Albert couldn't wait to ask, then looked at Percy with pride, obviously very proud of asking questions before Percy. This made Lance, who was watching coldly, laugh and cry.
Without waiting for Lance to answer, Dennis Quaid also came over, "Yes, Lance, do we need to cooperate with us after we go back?"
Just fifteen minutes ago, the crew of "The Day Afternoon" completed the filming of the last scene in Montreal. Since joining the crew in September, it took nearly five months to finally announce the completion of the filming.
This year, Montreal ushered in the coldest winter since record. Whether in the studio or outdoor shooting, the temperature was unbearable, especially when shooting scenes of blizzards. Even though the actors were wearing four or five thick layers of protective clothing, they were facing artificial snow sprayers and endured the wind at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. Their mouths and noses were covered by thick snowflakes, and even with eye masks, they could hardly open their eyes.
Over the past few months, the crew has been extremely exhausted, and today it was finally finished.
Lance looked up at the actors coming towards him, and thought about it seriously, "Uh, do nothing?" This made everyone chuckled, "No, I'm serious. Recently, the environmentalists are obviously very excited. If the movie is promoted at this time, it will only backfire. If you encounter an interview, you just need to say that the greenhouse effect must be paid enough attention and the earth must be protected enough, otherwise future disasters will be unbearable for us."
Lance pondered for a while, then nodded again. "Yes, emphasize disasters. Just say it according to your own ideas. Those who are good at speaking can talk more about how terrible disasters will be; those who are not good at dealing with the media can just support the position of environmentalists."
Dennis spread his hands, looked back at the other actors, and said with a smile, "This is not a difficult thing, right?" Everyone was amused by Dennis's teasing.
In the next period of time, the emotions of environmentalists will gradually calm down. But Lance cannot let this emotion cool down so quickly. It is still not time for the actors to go to the front stage, but the time to play the role of the trailer. A truly excellent trailer not only allows people to have a basic understanding of the content of the movie, but also awakens people's curiosity and expectations, and attracts people to go to the cinema to watch the movie.
The first trailer for "The Day Afternoon" is about to land in Super Bowl 38. At the critical moment when the enthusiasm for the greenhouse effect discussion declines, ignite the second flame. So, now the real burden is on Lance, he must cut a wonderful trailer with Aaron Menker - all the energy of this trailer is placed on the apocalypse brought by the greenhouse effect.
Lance glanced at the "Washington Post" in Albert's hand, and had a draft in his mind.
More importantly, the post-production of the "day acquired" must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise this year's summer vacation will be missed, and the previous half-year brewing period will be squandered. What's even more terrifying is that it may lead to the collapse of Chaos Film.
So, for the next period of time, the actors can rest, but the heavy work behind the scenes will begin vigorously.
"Lance." Jack Gyllenhaal walked forward and regained Lance's attention. "In two weeks, it will be the Golden Globes. Can I mention this work on the red carpet?" After Jack asked, he seemed a little shy and restrained. "My agent is very eager to promote it."
In the eyes of outsiders, the "day acquired" is almost silent and silent. Even if the movie is finished, no media will be present. No wonder Jack's agent is so urgent.
Lance couldn't help but chuckled, "Of course, you can say that the premise is that no content about the plot of the movie is allowed to be leaked. You can say that you participated in the filming of the 'day acquired', and you can also say that there are actors in the crew, including your thoughts during the filming process, but, the only one," Although Lance still smiled, his eyes became extremely serious. "Not allowed to talk about the plot of the movie. Do you understand?"
Jack nodded randomly and smiled, "Of course. Of course!"
He almost forgot about the awards season that the first real awards season in his life has slowly begun.
