On the second floor of an office near the entrance of Warner Studio, Mene was rubbing his hands nervously. Looking out the window, he could see many reporters and paparazzi blocking the entrance of Warner Studio.
When he returned to Los Angeles after filming "Land of the Living Dead" three days ago, his boss gave him a big gift of appearing in front of the media.
Manager Munir, who is also a black man, came over and said, "Don't be nervous. You often say that big events are trivial to you."
Mene forced out a smile, which was uglier than crying.
Publicity director Parker asked Martin: "Is his psychological quality not very good?"
Martin said: "He has a very good mental quality, but he just hasn't adjusted for a while. Going from being unknown to becoming a celebrity in the media requires a process of adaptation."
Parker understood this, and many people suddenly became famous, their mentality collapsed, and they fell off the cliff.
Martin said at this time: "Mene, can you? If not, don't force it. I'll switch to someone else. The kangaroo you beat in Australia was more relaxed than you are now."
Mene came over: "I haven't experienced it before."
Martin pointed at Bruce: "You have memorized the manuscript, what are you afraid of? Do you want me to accompany you? Let him support you behind your back?"
"No, no need." Mene shook his head quickly: "Just stay with me, Munir."
Martin lowered his voice: "Man, think back carefully. Those people you served, your swollen lips and tongue, you were so poor that you had to live with Lao Bu. Isn't this the opportunity you have been waiting for?"
Mene pursed her lips and nodded silently.
These are not very effective. Martin frowned and suddenly thought of something: "Are you afraid of those bitches in the media? Man, do I have to remind you to remember that you have nuclear weapons!"
Mene looked at the back of his hands and skin color and said, "Yes, I have nuclear weapons."
He raised his head and straightened up: "I have nuclear weapons!"
Except for Bruce, no one else present understood what this meant.
Mene called Munir: "Let's go out and fuck the media!"
Munir followed Mene out of Warner Studios.
Just after leaving the security post, the flashing lights suddenly exploded and almost blinded people's eyes.
Munir was just a small agent of a small company and had never experienced such a scene. He subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes.
Paparazzi reporters swarmed him.
"Are you still in a relationship with Paris?"
"Tell me about your experience in Australia!"
"Why does Paris fall in love with you?"
This question fell on his ears, and Mene almost released a nuclear weapon on the spot, but the nuclear weapon was kept at the bottom of the box after all, so he resisted.
The cowardly agent was so unreliable that he was pushed to the outside by the paparazzi.
Mene regretted not asking Lao Bu to follow.
It's okay to support him from behind.
Parker, the production's publicity director, had already made arrangements. Several burly security guards rushed out and erected a human wall between Mene and the paparazzi reporters.
Mene took a breath and shouted loudly: "You are so messed up, I can't answer."
The paparazzi reporters present all have experience in adjusting the order after the initial rush, because if the chaos continues, no one will get news.
It gradually became quiet here.
"You want to know about me and Paris, I can tell you, free of charge, no charge."
Uncle Mene was bold once. When he was actually in front of the paparazzi media, he found that he was not as nervous as he thought. He said loudly: "This is a mistake that should not have happened, but Paris is young and beautiful. You all know this."
The male reporters at the scene smiled knowingly.
It's very obvious, having all seen the tape.
Mene continued: "Paris is so beautiful and sexy, and she threw a thick pile of money at my face." He spread his hands, very helpless: "You think, what can I do? Who in the right mind can refuse? ?”
These guys nodded slowly to show their understanding, and even if they didn't give money, they would move forward even if they didn't.
"Later I returned the money to her. I'm not that kind of person!" Menei's chest thumped loudly: "I thought love had arrived, but it turns out that love comes and goes quickly."
A female reporter was dissatisfied and said, "Why did Paris choose you?"
Mene said with a smile: "During filming, Paris teased a male kangaroo. It was very dangerous at the time. I rushed to seduce... No, I attracted the kangaroo and saved Paris. I thought a hero saves a beauty. Love comes, but it doesn’t.”
After asking some random questions, some reporters shouted to take pictures, Mene put on a POS and let the reporters take as many pictures as they wanted.
Then he got into the car and left under the escort of security personnel.
Two hours later, Mene returned to Warner Studios and found Martin in the studio's cafe.
"Boss, I give my performance full marks!" Mene came in and ran across from Martin: "You are so right, those people are not as strong as the Australian kangaroos."
Martin added: "Let your agent maintain communication with the crew in the future. Susan Levin is a very powerful producer and will supervise more film projects in the future."
Menei nodded frequently: "I understand, I understand, boss, if anything happens to you in the future, just tell me."
Just as he was talking, Louise and Susan Levin entered the coffee shop.
Susan glanced at Mene: "I remember you. The crew played a supporting role and did a good job."
Mene took out his business card and sent it over: "Madam, if you need anything, just give me a call. I'll be on call."
Susan put it away.
Menei winked: "You guys chat, I have something to do."
Louise pulled out the chair, sat on Martin's side, and said, "You have so many ideas."
Susan sat opposite Louise and laughed: "The feasibility is not bad."
Martin asked the two of them what they were drinking, and then said: "Susan, it was you who made my idea feasible. Without you, it would just be a fantasy."
Susan kicked Louise: "Did you hear that? You speak so nicely, better than Donnie."
Louise's long brows raised: "Can the person I like be wrong?"
Susan finished her cup of coffee and said, "I'm going to work."
Martin and Louise sat for a while.
Louise said: "Come for a walk with me."
The two left the cafe and walked along the road with the most palm trees.
Louise asked: "Have you been planning Paris's matter for a long time?"
Of course Martin would not admit it: "Does it need planning? Isn't it normal for her to do this series of things?"
Louise did not pursue the question: "Actually, this movie has done well at the box office. The biggest gain for actors is the heroine. You won't get much benefit."
She suddenly thought of a possibility: "Because I participated in the platter? You want to repay me?"
Martin just said: "My benefits are not as great as those of the heroine, but there are still benefits. I played the second role, and the film has a high box office. When other crews use me, at least they will not reject it as a commercial failure."
Louise said: "If the film's box office response is good, it will be like repaying the debt you owe me."
Martin asked deliberately: "Didn't I pay it off last time?"
But Louise didn't speak, and walked forward with her head held high.
Martin inquired about "Alexander the Great" from elsewhere, and it will be released in November.
Pacific Pictures participated in the investment of Platter. Although most of the funds for Platter came from various foundations, if the film failed miserably, he estimated that it would have a great negative impact on Pacific Pictures.
If House of Wax is well-received, things will be a little easier for Drunkard.
Martin didn't say much and walked with Louise on the road.
After a while, Louise reminded: "The agent has prepared a promotional article for you, right? If the film succeeds at the box office, you are the leading actor. If it fails, you are just a supporting role."
"I understand," Martin said.
The promotion of "Horror House of Wax Museum" has been steadily advancing, with some newly released films being posted before the screening to warm up the market in advance.
TV and Internet promotional videos are also being released.
There are many conventional promotional methods such as posters, road shows, trailers, various media advertisements and outdoor advertisements, etc.
This film is a remake of an old horror film, and it has some appeal among people over the age of 25.
The Paris promotion plan that the crew focused on is also progressing steadily.
Twenty days before its North American premiere, distributor Warner Bros. held a screening meeting for theater managers and media.
The former has an estimated market value score of 65, which is at a medium level among traditional American murder horror films.
Warner Bros. easily secured 3,220 North American theaters for the film.
This is a relatively high theater opening among R-rated horror films.
By the beginning of October, all aspects of publicity began to work hard, especially Kim Kardashian revealed more shocking news, such as Paris being extremely narcissistic and deliberately calling the paparazzi when she went out to have them take pictures.
She also went to see reproductive diseases several times, even hiding it from the people around her, suspecting that she was suffering from some disease because of the blue glue.
Paris's agent Steve also stood up and declared that he was fed up with Paris's various evil behaviors and wanted to resign as his agent.
Gradually, there is a voice on the Internet. Do you want to see Paris Hilton get the punishment she deserves? Go to the theater to watch House of Wax.
This was followed by a wax figure poster released by the crew.
A week before the premiere, the crew made a big move.
A female anchor at Warner TV lashed out at the media for pursuing Paris Hilton. She refused to read Paris-related news while hosting the show, and even openly took out a lighter to burn the press release, but was stopped by her colleagues.
Later, she said on the show: "I will definitely watch "Horror House of Wax" to see how that lawless woman was executed in the movie! This will at least make me feel comfortable for many days."
The next day, Paris's lawyer sent her a lawyer's letter.
This matter has been dragged out and stirred up again.
Mene was also invited to appear on a TV show to face the camera and tell the story of how he and Paris Hilton became connected through a large kangaroo.
The loyal Kardashian has spread throughout the United States, and whether she has a good reputation or a bad reputation, she is already famous.
In a talk show, Kardashian announced that she was planning to write a book, and she had already thought of the title - "What Paris Hilton and I Had to Say."
As long as you find the right promotion and marketing method, there is no need to doubt Hollywood's execution ability.
Even if they are dead, they can be dragged out and cashed in.
In comparison, the regular publicity of Martin and Eliza was much smaller.
But more or less works.
Thomas has been hosting Martin's blog, which is updated two to three times a week.
After the promotional materials related to "Horror House of Wax Museum" were posted on the blog, there were at least hundreds of messages saying that they would go to the theater to support it.
Some people died, but not completely...
