Chapter 520
Sitting in Ronan's office, Uvibauer carefully looked through the plan in his hand. Although he was a director who was super confident from beginning to end, he still knew a little bit self-aware after working hard in Hollywood in recent years.
The first movie directed by the director, Death Haunted House, why the box office is so popular in North America, just the box office is thirty times the production cost, the film is very exciting, the quality is excellent, and it makes people unable to stop.
Even if Uvibauer answered by himself, he could only say that it was not.
In the final analysis, it is the promotion and marketing promotion of Embassy Film, which is innovative and shameless, but shameless.
Such a big film company is shameless, what is a director afraid of
Uvibauer felt that nothing on the plan was important.
Ronan still respects Uvibauer's opinion and asked him: "This is the promotional idea designed by Embassy Film for the dungeon siege. Because it involves you directly, I must ask for your opinion."
Hearing this, Uvibauer could feel that the Relativity Entertainment Group still respects him quite well.
"It's very good design." Uvibauer smiled and his face was full of flesh: "Ronan, this is a genius design."
Ronan asked again: "You think it's okay."
Uvibauer closed his smile and said very seriously: "If you have any problem, just follow this plan."
Ronan nodded: "You have to be prepared."
Uvibauer said carelessly: "Ronan, I have long seen those gangsters who don't like them. When the House of Death was released, they scolded me so crazy that I couldn't fight back. Now I can finally tell those gangsters to go and eat shit, why do you miss it?"
Luo Nan didn't know how to answer the conversation, but Wu Bao's thinking was indeed not on the channel of ordinary people.
"My years of practice finally came in handy." Uvibauer was not only excited, but also a little excited: "I can't wait."
Ronan said: "Wuwei, Embassy Film will have a dedicated person to communicate with you."
Uvibauer nodded: "No problem."
After talking about the serious matter, Ronan asked about the copyright of the game adaptation that Uvibauer had never forgotten: "How are you doing at Blizzard?"
"Don't mention it." Uvibauer was not without frustration: "The people in Blizzard are like the hardest stones on the mountain. They don't know how to adapt. They stick to their games and hold them in their hands. They can always be games, adapted into movies, and can also do promotion through multiple channels, which will add a lot of money."
Ronan sighed: "Blizzard's job is not easy to do."
Uvibauer didn't mean to give up: "Blizzard and I have been experiencing it. From now on, I will go there twice a month until they are willing to sell the copyright of the Warcraft to me, is it to us."
Ronan suddenly thought of something. Blizzard is now a subsidiary of Vivendi. Can we start from Vivendi's side?
But this idea flashed through. Uvibauer was obsessed with Warcraft, not relativity entertainment. Unless it is low investment, the risk of making big-scale game adaptations is too great.
Uvibauer did what he said, and after leaving the entertainment of Relativity, he rushed to Blizzard.
Ronan calculated the time and seemed to be about to run in World of Warcraft. This is a cross-age online game and has affected countless people.
It also created the book-eating myth.
When he lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he heard people say that the Blizzard God ate books by himself and forced countless fan authors to death.
More than half a month before the dungeon siege is released, while the Embassy Film Company is also preparing for the "Uvibauer" plan while carrying out regular publicity and promotion.
For example, this weekend, the Dungeon Siege will hold a special press and critics trial show in Burbank.
Many media, especially entertainment media that prefer gossip, have received invitations to previews from Embassy Pictures.
In addition, professional film critics are a group that often appear during Hollywood movie previews.
Even if the commercial films released by Embassy Pictures have held a preview, they rarely invite critics to participate.
This time, the Embassy Film Company invited hundreds of film critics, but after special inspection and design, none of the film critics invited were relatively good professional ethics and had reliable film reviews, most of which were famous but not very famous.
The rise of the Internet has had a huge impact on many traditional industries, and the professional film critic industry is no exception.
Seven or eight years ago, ordinary audiences watched the video. Even if they had any opinions and wanted to publish them, most of them could not find any channels and could only discuss with their friends around them.
Now, as long as the audience wants to watch the movie, they can immediately post their own movie reviews on blogs, forums, idbs, and even Netflix sharing that just appeared.
I have to say that in the past, professional film critics were a high-end industry, but now there are more people who have published film reviews, which has distracted the attention and made the film reviews less and less valuable.
Except for the top ones, most critics can't even support themselves by simply writing film reviews.
The saying that people are poor and have short ambitions are never just as simple as saying.
Charles Eric, a film critic from Los Angeles, is currently facing this situation. More than two years ago, with a verbal battle with Paris Hilton, Charles Eric made some fame. Although many people criticized him for being untrustworthy and without the responsibility and courage of being a man, no matter what, he has changed from obscurity to a film critic who can remember his name.
But fame did not bring significant improvements to his career. After the brief cooperation with the National Herald, traditional newspapers and magazines had critics who worked with them all year round, those veteran critics seized the film review columns of traditional media, making it difficult for young generation critics like Charles Eric to have the opportunity to stand out in print media.
There are so many opportunities on the Internet. The problem is that there are too many people writing film reviews on the Internet. There are so many websites and forums that don’t have to spend money to hire full-time film critics.
This is simply too embarrassing.
Over the past two years, Charles Eric has been writing continuously and has written thousands of film reviews, earning only tens of thousands of dollars.
If you didn’t use the fame you had accumulated so hard to make, and even life would be a problem by selling movies on your blog.
Sometimes, Charles Eric missed the situation when House of Death was released very much. He just wrote some commentary articles to tell the truth, and had a few times when he fought with the bad German director and the rich and bad girl Paris Hilton, and got almost the same income as a year.
But such good things are not happening every year.
To be precise, Charles Eric has only encountered it once.
Just when Charles Eric was worried about his income, someone found him, but he was still an old acquaintance.
In an old cafe in downtown Los Angeles, Charles Eric looked at the person opposite him and was trying to recall.
"Eric, you're still the same."
This man spoke extremely cheerfully, as if he was an intimate old friend: "Nothing changed at all."
Charles Eric gradually remembered: "It's you"
The man smiled and said, "It's me, Madias. Do you remember it? We've seen it here about a year ago."
"Yes, I remember you." Eric suddenly realized, then there was a hint of joy. It was this Madias that gave him the opportunity to angrily criticize Paris Hilton. He coughed softly, suppressed the hint of joy, and said as calmly as possible: "Madias, what's wrong with you suddenly came to me?"
Madias smiled: "A chance."
Eric's mouth unconsciously curled up. Will it be an opportunity to look forward to it?
Madias didn't lose his appetite and said, "It's almost the same as last time, a good opportunity to make money."
Compared to the last time, Eric has become somewhat mature, and he thinks he is also a well-known film critic, and he must maintain the self-esteem and style of a well-known film critic.
He looked at Madias, but didn't say anything, as if he didn't care about the opportunity at all.
Madias appeared here and had already checked Eric's current situation. He smiled and said, "We worked together once before, and now we can work together again. The German director I hate has made another movie and will be released this month."
Eric finds it incredible: "There are people who invest in a bad director like Uvibauer."
"A movie adaptation called Dungeon Siege." Madias neither explained nor explained to the critics clearly the selection criteria of the production company, and said directly: "I got the news that this is still a bad movie. What you need to do is similar to the last time, go to the preview of the film, and write down the real comments and feelings about the film, especially the view of director Uvibauer."
Eric shook his head: "Sorry, I won't do these things now. I am a professional filmmaker and I have my own professional ethics."
Madias did not show any real thoughts, and his tone was still calm: "Mr. Eric, you don't have to write anything against your will. Believe me, this movie is so bad that even if you comment with the most vicious words, fans will stand on your side."
Eric still didn't speak.
Madias simply stretched out his palm and showed five fingers: "Fifty thousand dollars in reward",
"What" Eric was surprised first, then turned into a surprise: "It really has 50,000 dollars"
Madias nodded slowly.
Eric immediately threw his professional ethics on the ground, stamped his stomp a few times, and said without hesitation: "I did it."
"Fifty thousand dollars is more than just a reward for writing film reviews." Madias slowly took out a file bag and handed it to Eric: "This is the plan I made. Just like last time, I need to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Eric quickly glanced through it, a little embarrassed.
Madias reminded him: "You can earn 50,000 dollars in less than a month."
"Okay" Eric made up his mind: "I'll do it"
Madias laughed: "I will bring my first reward and related agreements tomorrow. You can prepare and participate in the preview of the film in a few days."
