"When I was in Atlanta, I liked surfing the Internet." Martin was actually talking about his previous life, but thinking about certain types of news seen on the Internet, some things do not distinguish between countries: "I found an interesting thing, male netizens When we get together to chat, we often cannot avoid two things."
Ajia asked curiously: "Which two pieces?"
Martin raised one finger: "Women, discuss beautiful women." He raised a second finger: "Government building, to be more precise, it is called discussing current social affairs."
Craven is older and has relatively little exposure to the Internet, but he often hangs out with a group of men: "Yes, a group of grown men get together, and the topic is either about women or recent hot events."
Ajia fully agrees: "When I was young, I often discussed with people on the Internet how to get rid of that bastard in the Elysee Palace."
Craven understood what Martin meant: "Compared to normal social hot spots, the public is actually more interested in Washington's dirty information. Hollywood especially likes to engage in Washington conspiracy theories. Why? It's not that we are hostile to Washington, but that the audience likes it. Look at this, Washington is full of shady material, and all the shady stories come from Washington."
Martin said: "If these are released, keyboard warriors, that is, netizens who like to discuss current social affairs, will definitely pay attention, discuss, and even take the initiative to discuss with others the top-secret black information of Washington and the Pentagon. If I were a keyboard warrior, think about it. Everyone will be excited."
Craven and Aja both laughed.
The former has rich experience in film promotion: "I have discussed with people from Warner Bros. A cycle of fifteen days is divided into three stages. To avoid the backlash of viral marketing, we will start with the second stage at the beginning of the second stage. Movies connect.”
"You are all experienced professionals." Martin is only responsible for coming up with ideas: "I am just a keyboard warrior who can only use my mouth."
Ajia said: “We hope to attract more keyboard warriors to pay attention to our movie.”
Martin looked at the time: "At noon, I'll treat you to the Smoke House. The steaks and pianist there are good."
Craven asked, "Do you like the pianist there?"
"You can't joke about this kind of thing. The pianist is a man." Martin pointed to his chest: "I am male and I like women."
The three of them left Warner Studio together and went to the restaurant opposite to enjoy lunch.
The publicity plan of Eyes Across the Mountain is recommended in an orderly manner.
In addition to formal publicity, the first step of the viral marketing plan was officially launched before Christmas.
…………
At the end of September this year, the report released by the "Iraq Investigation Team" led by the CIA and attended by 1,400 international experts yielded no results. It became a key incident in the dispute between the two parties in the general election, and the aftermath continues to this day.
Although Americans don't care much about things outside North America, it still caused quite a stir when it came to the general election.
On the Internet, there are many netizens searching for and paying attention to weapons of mass destruction.
Ted, who works in Manhattan, goes to the portal Yahoo to read relevant news every day.
Before the Christmas holiday, Ted was surfing the Internet and suddenly found news about new weapons of mass destruction prominently displayed on Yahoo's homepage.
“The Secret of America’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Revealed!”
Ted clicked on the web page, and the bold words under the title instantly caught his eye: It is uncertain whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, but the United States must be the country with the most weapons of mass destruction in the world.
The article lists in detail the three major nuclear test bases in the United States.
Then, a series of secret documents were revealed.
The documents containing multiple photos were all stamped "Top Secret".
The contents are all related to the Nevada nuclear test site, and involve the military's top-secret content of closing the Nevada nuclear test site. For example, the nuclear test caused an indigenous tribe to disappear, and thousands of residents suffered from cancer and deformities in themselves and their offspring. etc.
Followed by a URL link, it said that if you want to see the specific content, you can log in to this decryption website.
There has always been a market for conspiracy theories. Even people who don’t believe in conspiracy theories will be curious to take a look at this kind of content.
Ted immediately clicked on the link, and a website called Nevada Nuclear Test Declassification appeared on the computer screen.
The picture on the homepage of the website shows some veterans who have served at the test site, holding SOS signs high, protesting in Washington, demanding compensation.
There are their names on it, as well as a video of a veteran named Dave Critter being interviewed by the media.
Dave accused the military of concealing the authenticity of the nuclear radiation from the test and causing them terrible health problems, such as severe lipoma. He even took off his clothes on the spot and showed them in front of the camera.
Ted almost vomited. The lipoma on the veteran's back was nearly as big as a grapefruit!
"It's terrible!" Ted murmured and continued to look down.
Later there are interviews with residents near the original Nevada Experimental Site. They were affected by radiation for a long time and their health conditions were also worrying, so they had to move away from their hometowns.
Below are their medical reports, as well as photos of some of those severely affected.
Many people have scary appearances due to tumor lesions.
When Ted saw this, he couldn't help but log in to MSN and forward the website to an interest group he joined.
They are all young people who pay attention to current social affairs. In Martin's words, they are all keyboard warriors. They also have the common characteristics of male keyboard warriors around the world. They like to discuss current social affairs and give advice.
Such groups are also the most likely to believe in various conspiracy theories.
After sending the link, Ted left a special message: "Everyone, take a look at this website. It discloses a lot of information about the military's nuclear testing."
Then, he sent the link again.
The group suddenly became lively.
Many people go to the website.
Just like the troll netizens in Martin's previous life group who posted some kind of QR code, they felt curious and uncomfortable if they didn't read it.
Another group Ted joined had a flashing message. He opened it and found that someone had posted the same URL.
This person also posted some pictures and profile photos that he had yet to see.
"In the 1990s, personnel from an atomic energy evaluation agency disappeared in the Nevada nuclear test area." The man typed quickly: "The information shows that when their bodies were found, their bodies were highly decomposed and they were killed with sharp instruments. Some of the photos they took were found in the camera they left behind."
Ted clicked on the photo and looked carefully. The image above was blurry, but he clearly saw some deformed people.
"It looks so scary!"
"Are these true?"
There are all kinds of things in the group, but one thing is the same: these guys all go to those websites to browse information.
Such black material websites have aroused everyone's interest.
Come back to discuss it after reading it.
Ted also went back to continue reading. A considerable part of the documents and photos with the "Top Secret" seal mentioned that there are still people living in the nuclear test area. In the past six years, two groups of front-line collectors from the US Atomic Energy Evaluation Agency have disappeared, and the latter group has been missing. No bodies were found.
Of course, some people thought of one thing: "Isn't a related movie about to be released?"
Viral marketing is nothing new.
However, similar news and links have appeared on several portals, large forums and well-known blogs in North America.
Decrypted websites spread like viruses from person to person.
…………
Near Warner Studios, a company that undertakes film and television promotion outsourcing.
In an office that can accommodate nearly twenty people, a publicity team is busy sitting in front of a computer.
They undertook the publicity outsourcing of "The Mountain Has Eyes" at the beginning of the month and were specifically responsible for online promotion.
Members of the group mainly promote the Nevada nuclear test decryption website on portals, forums, blogs, and chat software groups such as MSN, guide online public opinion, and attract as many people as possible to watch it.
Daniel from Warner Bros. came over to take a look.
The team leader reported real-time data to him: "The website was officially launched the day before yesterday, and as of today, the number of views has exceeded 300,000."
Daniel asked: "What are the expectations?"
The person in charge thought for a while and said: "This kind of website that exposes the so-called dirty information about Washington is particularly arresting. Judging from today's situation, it is not a problem for tens of millions of people to see the website before it is released."
Daniel reminded: "Keep your pace, pay attention to relevant network trends in a timely manner, and push into the second phase after the New Year holiday."
Every day, some new content will be updated on the Nevada Nuclear Testing Revealed website.
For example, in 1982, a large number of indigenous people near the nuclear test site sued the Washington authorities and the military, but were ruthlessly suppressed.
Relevant lawyer letters and video materials have been exposed.
Warner Bros.'s publicity is professional and well-prepared. What they can't do themselves can be outsourced.
In the face of interests, you can always believe in the power of capital.
At Christmas, Anne returned to New York, and Louise had to accompany her parents for the holiday. Martin had no choice but to drag Lao Bu and Mene to attend Antonio's Christmas Eve party.
Tickets were required for the party, and the three Martins each brought a bottle of wine.
Antonio sat in front of the Christmas tree on the top floor, cheerfully like a super fat version of Santa Claus.
Martin and the other three sat at the same table with him, and Mene brought four glasses of wine over.
The four of them drank and chatted.
Antonio suddenly said mysteriously: "Have you heard about it? The Pentagon's nuclear test in Nevada leaked radiation. Thousands of people got cancer, and it is said that there are even deformed people!"
Mene answered automatically: "Yes, I heard about it, and I even looked at the decryption website. Washington and the Pentagon are too shady and don't treat ordinary people as human beings!"
Bruce glanced at Martin and continued: "In the eyes of the upper class, ordinary people are expendable. If they are gone, they can be remade. If they cannot be remade, there will be a large number of immigrants."
Antonio asked: "Old Bu, you have been a soldier. Is this what the Pentagon really does?"
"I don't know." Bruce raised his hand and pointed at his head: "If I had known, I would have been shot to death."
Martin was very curious: "Who did you listen to?"
Antonio was the first to answer: "I heard from the three tenants on the first floor. They have been discussing it these days."
Mene, who recently worked on a soundstage at Warner Bros. Studios, said: "I heard it from someone in the studio cafe and looked online."
A tenant on the first floor heard it and came over to join in the fun: "I am in a music tutoring class, and all the male students in the class have been discussing this recently."
A guy passing by automatically answered the call: "There are many people in my MSN groups who have posted this."
Martin said that the so-called dirty information from Washington and the military is indeed attractive.
Two updates today
