In the Michelin-starred restaurant, Anne was enjoying a French meal. Martin across from her was considerate and graceful, taking care of her in every possible way.
She forked a piece of baked shrimp and brought it to Martin: "This is your reward." Martin took it into his mouth, his face full of happiness, and he also forked a piece and fed it to Annie.
Annie ate it and asked: "Last time I called you, were you in East Asia?" Martin said without changing his expression: "I went to Hong Kong to solicit investment." Annie thought about the movie project: "Don't you have enough funds in Atlanta? We need to go overseas to attract investment.”
"Another project." Martin said vaguely: "It's not a wanted order. I'm going to cooperate with others on another big project with a higher investment. Sorry, it involves confidentiality clauses, so I can't say anything for the time being." When she heard that the investment was higher, Anne thought She should keep it confidential. She smiled and held Martin's hand: "It doesn't matter. Big business must involve many terms." She was particularly concerned about Martin's financial future: "Did the trip go well?" Martin nodded slightly: "We found a few willing investors, and then They will come to Los Angeles for a while to attend the premiere of "The Mountain Has Eyes"." He took the initiative to invite: "Annie, will you accompany me to the premiere, okay?" How could Annie refuse: "I will definitely go." Martin She took out an exquisite gift box with a beautiful starry sky pattern engraved on it: "This is for you, open it and take a look, what a surprise!" When Annie saw so many stars, she immediately thought of bright diamonds, took it and was about to open it: "Can you?" Martin made a gesture of invitation: "They belong to you." Anne opened it excitedly and found that inside was a certificate, an extremely exquisite star map, and a beautiful crystal star.
It wasn't the diamond she was thinking of. Even though Annie is an actor, for a moment, the smile froze on her face.
But when she opened the certificate, she was quite surprised and couldn't help but cover her mouth: "You...you bought the right to name a star for me?" This business is really not popular!
Martin said: "Atlantic Astronomical Society, the naming right of a star." His lines were prepared when he came, and his acting skills exploded at this moment, absolutely Oscar-level: "When I was in Hong Kong City, I couldn't help but miss you, After calling you, I missed you even more, and I was wondering if there was a way that I could see you just by raising my head." Annie pursed her lips, her eyes were slightly red and misty.
Martin continued: "I specifically found the famous Atlantic Astronomical Association and bought the naming rights of this star. In the future, I will be able to see your starlight when I look up, and your starlight will always shine on me." Anne nodded vigorously, Unable to help himself: "I love you, Martin, my love for you will be like this star!" Martin is not afraid that Anne will find out the problem. If she really wants to find out, it is that he, Martin Davis, was deceived by the Atlantic Astronomical Association.
It is normal for a good person to be deceived by a liar. Anne thought this was the most precious gift in the world and put it into her bag carefully: "It's the time when you are using money. It's too expensive." Martin said, "Annie, you deserve all the good things in the world." Anne was stunned. Looking at Martin, he is really good-looking, useful and has a lot of money. It is difficult to find another boyfriend like this.
It’s time to up the ante! Anne tentatively said: "Martin, you have invested in movies one after another, and your funds are very tight, right? If you need it, I still have some money on hand." This was beyond Martin's expectation. He reacted very quickly, with a bit of emotion: "No need. , I can solve the funding problem.”
"Tell me if you need it." Anne didn't force it, and said specifically: "What's mine is yours." She couldn't say the latter sentence now.
"Don't worry, the financial pressure on my side is not too great." Martin finally came back to his senses. When Bruce saw him, he was impressed.
After finishing the meal, Martin paid the bill, walked out of the restaurant arm in arm with Annie, and walked forward along the sidewalk.
Of course, the two of them will not express it clearly, but their respective managers have already communicated with each other. Every time they go on a date, they will walk around in public to show off their affection appropriately.
When the time is right, you can even use a big move. Martin held Annie's hand and talked and laughed all the way. It was extremely intimate.
There is no doubt about his professional ethics. Many of the paparazzi entertainment reporters in the future may not have anything to eat, so they have to earn today’s meal money and gas money.
The two kissed passionately on the street. The Mountain Has Eyes has entered a period of large-scale publicity. After entering a small park, Martin even ran with Annie on his back for a while.
Entertainment news is all manufactured. Later, Martin bought an astronomical telescope and took Anne into the nearby Ritz-Carlton Hotel and never came out again.
Anne was first overwhelmed by the romance from the stars, and then she was swept away by Martin. In her excitement, she even agreed to many of Martin's strange requests.
The next morning, when the two of them left the hotel together, they were photographed by the paparazzi who had been waiting for them earlier in the morning.
These entertainment paparazzi followed him all the way to the entrance of Warner Studios before giving up. Martin wanted Anne to further cooperate with the publicity. Of course, he had to give Anne confidence. It would be too low-level to show others the pitiful savings and might even scare people away.
Arriving at the small studio rented by the Wanted crew, Mene took the initiative to greet him: "Boss." Martin introduced to Anne: "This is Mene, my brother." Annie smiled at Mene: "Hello." The glass office on the other side , screenwriter Mike Bradt ran out.
Martin introduced him and Anne. Bradett didn't want to look at Princess Anne and said directly: "I need a professional action director. Some script scenes must be constructed in conjunction with action." Martin said: "I came here today just for action guidance." Last time at Kate -Chad Starsky, whom he met at Winslet's party, ended his work on the "Constantine" crew last month. After a short break, he contacted Martin and was ready to start a new job.
Martin and Bradt discussed the story direction of the script, and Anne could only listen on the side, feeling that Martin at work was full of passion and vitality.
About ten minutes later, Chad entered the studio and joined Martin and Bradt in the discussion. Just in time, Bruce is here too.
Some of the action scenes imagined by Martin and Chad were simply demonstrated directly by Bruce, which was more intuitive.
Bruce has been keeping fit and training with Martin for a long time, and he is agile. Before noon, Martin had already decided to hire Chad as the crew's action director.
Chad and Martin have many similar ideas and are willing to accept this new job. Bradt also looked forward to a professional action coach and asked for a treat at noon.
Martin found Anne and asked, "Are you bored? We can't stop talking about work." Anne saw the studio being built with her own eyes and was completely relieved: "Men who work are the most attractive, so you don't have to worry about me. , I will go to the set in a moment, you continue to be busy with work." Martin said: "I will treat you at noon, eat and then go over."
"Okay." Annie wanted to get more involved in Martin's life. Martin treated her to lunch, and then he sent Anne to the Hilton Hotel, where her crew would be filming in the afternoon.
Martin went to meet Craven for an afternoon road show. After the New Year, the promotion of "The Mountain Has Eyes" went into full force, with posters, advertisements, promotional soft articles, etc. coming in an endless stream.
The Nevada Nuclear Test Declassification website has been updating information, both true and false, on a scheduled basis. If something is true, use the truth; if it is not true, use it as a fake.
The power of capital is very powerful. Warner Bros. found many veterans who had worked at nuclear test sites and conducted interviews specifically, which earned them a lot of eyeballs.
Movie promotion and marketing are genuine and fake, as long as they can cause a sensation, they dare to create doomsday panic. printed
"Top secret" documents revealed one after another. Residents and veterans who originally lived near the test site, especially those with physical abnormalities, were constantly dragged out for propaganda purposes.
The public opinion heat finally spread to Washington. At a regular press conference at the White House, a reporter from Warner TV asked related questions.
The spokesman flatly denied it and directly stated that he would go to Hollywood. Official refutation of rumors has never been effective in this kind of matter, and it often gets darker and darker.
The fictitious U.S. Atomic Energy Evaluation Agency issued a missing person notice to find data collection personnel missing at the Nevada nuclear test site.
Then, someone else posted similar missing person notices on the Internet and the media, claiming that family members or friends who drove through Nevada disappeared near the nuclear test site.
In fact, at this point, people who are familiar with Hollywood movie promotion and marketing have already seen that this is the promotion of a certain movie.
Viral marketing is not the first time "Blair Witch" was used. After the success of this film, other films have used similar marketing methods in recent years, including The Matrix.
Just after Washington responded and public opinion reached a climax, the homepage picture of the Nevada nuclear test declassification website changed. It was no longer a picture of a veteran with a lipoma on his back, but a missing person notice.
"I am Brian, the principal of Lovisa Middle School in Orange County. Last month, the school's physical education teacher Bob disappeared while driving with his father-in-law's family through Nevada. Their car ended up at a gas station outside the nuclear test site. Now I Looking for clues..." A photo of a family was drawn on the missing persons notice.
The man standing in the C position, holding the dog in one hand and holding the child in the other, is Bob, the male protagonist played by Martin in "Eye in the Mountain".
Behind them is Bob’s father-in-law’s family. Viral marketing can easily cause backlash, and experienced Warner Bros. is well prepared.
At the same time as the missing person notice was released, an SH game was loaded on the web page, called The Mountain Has Eyes.
The content is to assist the male protagonist Bob to find the deformed and perverted murderous maniac colony caused by nuclear testing, control the protagonist Bob to pass through levels and fight monsters, and find the baby snatched away by the murderous maniac.
Those who clear the game before the deadline can participate in a lottery and receive a souvenir mailed by the crew. There are also ten super lucky prizes. The winners will be invited by the crew to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Eyes on the Mountain". All travel and accommodation expenses will be borne by the crew.
In terms of formal publicity, Martin is preparing to appear on a talk show. Two updates today
