Chapter 101: Copy propagation

Inside a middle-class community theater in Orange County.

Mario squeezed Paul with the fat on his arm and asked curiously, "What does Robert want to do with us?"

"I don't know." Paul walked forward: "It should be a good thing, maybe there is some extra money."

Thinking of the last large sum of money, Mario wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Hehe, I drink ice coke every day."

Paul felt helpless to him like this, and said, "Drink again to make you fat! Be careful to crush the stage!"

The two came to an office, knocked on the door of the room, heard a response from inside, pushed the door in, and saw a familiar face, it was the middle-aged man named Robert.

The director of the theater nodded to Paul and Mario, and then said to Robert: "You guys talk, I'll go out and go around."

The two parties had a pleasant cooperation. Robert didn’t talk nonsense, and directly handed them a simple plan: "I want to ask two more to cooperate with me in acting. It’s much simpler than last time and the reward is more generous, but You are going to stay with me in a hotel in Los Angeles for a while."

Paul quickly browsed through the plan and suddenly realized, "The missing person notice on the Internet..."

Robert coughed vigorously and interrupted Paul's words: "It's okay to understand something, how about it? Do it?"

Mario also read the plan and said loudly: "Do! Why not do it!"

Paul saw the generous remuneration figures and quickly nodded: "Mr. Robert, we do things, you can rest assured."

Robert is no nonsense: "Go and clean up, follow me to Los Angeles."

Go back and practice for a few days, then find someone to shoot the interview video, and then share it with others to the media.

With the previous experience, Robert has no difficulty in doing it.

Long Island, New York, a Blockbuster chain video storefront.

stab!

The store manager took off the most conspicuous poster at the entrance of the store and greeted the employees under his hand: "Arthur, put the new poster on it!"

Arthur is a tall man, and he doesn't need a ladder, so he posted the new poster easily. After two steps back, he stepped forward to see that it was not crooked.

He looked at the pictures and text on the poster in a puzzled way, and said, "Manager, we are engaged in video rental. Isn't it appropriate to post a missing person poster here? This is too strange, it will make people laugh."

The store manager tilted his head and looked at the words written by Blair the Witch and the three college students, and said, "This is a notice issued by the head office. It's not something you and I can manage. Someone is willing to pay for advertising and take care of so much."

A young man who rented a video tape was about to go out. He saw the missing person notice on the poster. He subconsciously stopped, read it carefully, and asked, "Have you found the three missing people?"

Arthur shook his head: "No, haven't you seen it? I posted the missing persons notice in our shop."

The store manager pointed to the poster: "What? They are famous?"

"Don't you know?" said the young man who rented the videotape: "Many people are discussing the Blair Witch and the three missing college students. The relatives of the missing were interviewed some time ago and they were all on TV. It's so pitiful. Their relatives are missing. , Can't even find the body."

Arthur lowered his voice and said, "I have a friend in Maryland. I heard that the public phone calls of the H County Police Department of the State Police Department have been upset. Many people accused the Maryland State Police of inaction."

"I haven't found any useful information for three years. Isn't it inaction?" The young man who rented the videotape said, "I will check the number of the Maryland police and call them too!"

The young man walked out of the store holding the video tape.

The store manager asked curiously: "Arthur, is this spreading widely?"

"Boss, you should pay more attention to current affairs." Arthur relied on a good relationship with the store manager and said, "You are all out of date, you know?"

He explained: "Now the Internet is full of these three college students, and there are countless related posts. Even the TV station broadcasts a video taken by the three before the disappearance, and volunteers have set up a website for them. Things are too hot, too many people are discussing, even Fox TV station is alarmed. This weekend night, Fox Station has a TV show dedicated to analyzing North American witches. You can watch it when you have time."

Arthur stared at the door of a supermarket across the road through the opened door, and then said: "Look, there is a missing person notice posted there."

A big boy wearing a t-shirt walked into the store and handed Arthur a document: "If you see a person on it, please call the missing person notice. The family will thank you heavily."

Arthur scratched his head and didn't know what to say. The boy's t-shirt was clearly printed with the words Blair the Witch, and there were three college students' portraits below.

When the big boy left, Arthur followed out to take a look, and found that many people wearing cultural shirts were doing activities in this commercial area.

"Is there a rich second-generation among the missing people?" He muttered back to the store: "How much does it cost?"

The manager next to    shook his head slightly: "This is not quite right, it's a bit strange."

Although he is only selling video tapes, he has been engaged in film-related work for many years. I subconsciously feel that there is a problem with this matter, but I can't figure out where the problem is.

In the Silicon Valley in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, after a long day of busy work, many programmers had dinner and chatted together.

"Who read the latest news on the website?" A black-haired young man asked, "Have you found the three? It's really the witch?"

The blond man wearing glasses answered, "A recovered recording was posted on the website, and screams can be heard. Unfortunately, there is no related video."

A woman asked, "They will not be eaten by the Blair Witch, right?"

"Witch cannibalize?"

"I watched a Fox TV show and it said that some witches are rumored to be cannibals."

The black-haired young man shook his head: "Unfortunately, Jiu Shu is not here. If there is Jiu Shu, this kind of small problem will be solved in minutes.

"Who is Uncle Jiu? Can he beat a witch?"

The topic was crooked, and after a long while, I turned it back because the website updated another video.

After seeing these people, they continued the discussion, and soon attracted more people, and curious people joined in.

From the beginning of May to the beginning of June, it was spread to countless people through many channels such as the Internet, TV, newspapers, magazines, periodicals, posting advertisements and disseminating materials on the streets.

This incident can stimulate people's curiosity and exploration too, causing most people who were exposed to the incident to become the source of the virus. News related to Blair the witch and college students spread like a virus replication.

In early July the Internet, newspapers, TV and outdoor media, and many other channels, announced one thing at the same time. The videos taken by the three college students' DV cameras have been restored and will be available from July 16 Played in theaters across North America.

The news spread quickly throughout North America like a virus.

Countless people are discussing the fate of the three missing college students, discussing what the Blair Witch will look like, discussing what is in the video...

"Now the hottest online is the Blair Witch." David Villa accompanied Ronan out of the parking lot and walked towards the small theater where the trial was held. He said as he walked: "Preliminary statistics, there have been large-scale discussions. There are more than 500 websites on this matter, and the total number of online reposts is over 1.7 million.

For the first time, he showed excitement in front of Ronan: "The total number of visits to our movie website is as high as 22.5 million!"

Ronan nodded: "Good job."

I looked at the theater in front. Did you know that the filming experts of the theater company made a decision?

David Villa smiled: "Your plan is well formulated and very targeted. Large sums of money are also the key."

Ronan also laughed. The latter is the key. Whether it’s hiring someone to post on the Internet to gather popularity or various offline activities, it needs financial support. In just two months, it’s just a matter of promotion and marketing. It cost $6 million.

This heat is actually burned out with money.

However, Embassy Pictures has always been hiding behind, and has never disclosed his name in any communication information.

When I came to the theater, the filming session was over. Garcia and Robert were negotiating with people from the theater company. Ronan went directly to the lounge and waited patiently.

The first weekend, of course, is to strive for as many theaters as possible.
