Chapter 108: Deserved honor

Public opinion is surging, and there are many angry voices after being deceived. Ronan needs someone to help him, and the best candidate is the chief creator of the crew who was sent to the African savannah to travel.

Ronan also invited the main creative staff headed by Daniel Malik back to Los Angeles from Africa.

As soon as these people arrived in Los Angeles, Ronan was going to meet them.

"How are they doing in Africa?"

On the car to the hotel, Ronan asked Robert, who had taken a trip to Africa in person: "Why don't you want to come back?"

When calling, Daniel Malik refused to return to Los Angeles immediately, saying that something very important had not been done, so Ronan almost thought that he was going to marry a black girl and rooted in the prairie.

It dragged on for a week, and finally Robert went to Africa himself.

"Daniel Malik is shooting a documentary about the African grasslands." Robert learned the situation on the spot: "Just finished filming a few days ago."

Ronan nodded: "Do they know much about the situation here?"

Robert smiled and said: "The news on the African grasslands is blocked, that is, I learned a little after I came back. I was almost overwhelmed by the excitement of the success of the film. I think we must show them to the media and audience as soon as possible, otherwise we will have trouble after we understand ."

Ronan had already arranged: "Garcia has already contacted the talk show for tomorrow. In NBC where he used to work, the news has also spread to the fan community. As long as they fight the first wave, the rest will be very important to us. It's easy."

He saw that Robert was a little puzzled, and simply explained: "The news and the anger of the audience are time-sensitive, but there must also be channels for pouring out. Those who come out first must bear the most. When the outside world is about to vent, even Our exposure, in fact, has little impact."

The first to show up is often the worst.

As for whether this will affect the future of director Daniel Malik and others, it is not within Ronan's consideration.

Ronan will not cooperate with them a second time.

I vaguely remember that none of these people could make a splash in their previous lives. Instead, it was the artisan film industry that released the film. The development was so smooth that Lionsgate spent a huge amount of money to acquire it.

This "Blair the Witch" is like using a credit card, or the kind of overdraft. If you use the credit card of the creator of the crew, Ronan will take advantage, so why not do it.

In a reception room of the hotel, Ronan met the director Daniel Malik and others who had just returned from Africa.

These people smelled of alcohol, and they seemed to be a little over excited.

Ronan shook hands with them and greeted them one by one, just like saying goodbye to the death squad officer. He said some words of encouragement and praise, and then saw Daniel Malik. He only knew Daniel Malik, and Daniel Malik was also the leader. .

"The film is successful, everyone is very happy." Daniel Malik explained with a drink of alcohol, "So drink and celebrate."

Ronan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you are the biggest heroes of this movie."

Daniel Malik is not even a marginal figure in Hollywood. Hearing this compliment, he laughed unconsciously, and said with suppressed excitement: "I didn't expect that this film could get tens of millions of dollars. box office."

"North American box office must exceed 100 million yuan." Ronan emphasized.

"Yes! Yes!" Daniel Malik doesn't seem to know what to say: "I...I...I can become a box office director of 100 million yuan, so... incredible."

When he said this, his hands trembled a little: "Mr. Anderson, what you have done... it's amazing, it's amazing."

Just coming back from Africa, Daniel Malik is still in excitement and joy, without too many thoughts: "You are really amazing!"

Ronan smiled modestly and said: "In fact, you are the one who contributed the most to this film. Director Melick, remember the website you transferred to us? It is your website that inspired the company to develop a targeted The promotion and marketing plan and the witch materials you collected have also helped us a lot. All that you did earlier is the key to success!"

"Nothing, nothing." Daniel Malik is also appropriately humble.

Ronan said very seriously: "You are the source of this plan. Without you, the success of "Blair the Witch" would not have been possible. Director Melick, you and your team are both key, and you should enjoy the honor you deserve. Instead of staying in obscurity."

Deserved honor? Daniel Malik was immediately attracted by these words.

Ronan smiled like a spring breeze: "You are the heroes behind the scenes, this must be known."

In fact, Ronan doesn't need to say, Daniel Malik thinks so too. Now "Blair the Witch" is a big hit, and the box office will exceed 100 million in the future. It would be too sad if no one knew him as the director.

No one knows it means that he is still a marginal director without capital.

Ronan has been observing Daniel Malik and said in due course: "We also have a contract. The Theory of Relativity has to prepare media activities for the crew, and I am ready to fulfill the contract."

Daniel Malik laughed uncontrollably. This film did not sell the wrong person. Ronan Anderson is very contractual. Maybe he can cooperate with him for a long time in the future? Looks like a good partner.

"Mr. Anderson." Daniel Malik couldn't suppress the excitement and curiosity in his heart: "May I ask, what media activity is it?"

Can four or five third-line tabloids and first-line media participate in activities of the same nature?

Ronan smiled and said, "It's the "Jay Leno Tonight Show" from ABC."

Daniel Malik doesn't know what to say. This is one of the top talk shows on the four major television networks in the United States. As long as you are on this show, the name will be posted throughout the United States.

This is the rhythm of going to the pinnacle of life!

A single film has a North American box office of more than 100 million yuan. Even if you look at Hollywood as a whole, more than 90% of directors will look up to the top TV stations' first-line programs.

Ronan beckoned, Robert immediately handed over a document to Daniel Malick, waited for him to take a look at it, and said: "We communicated with the program team. This is the general process and content, and there may be on-site changes. But it won’t be too big, you guys will get acquainted as soon as possible.”

Daniel Malik looked at this document and felt full of sincerity. He didn't expect Ronan Anderson to give such a generous gift just after returning from the African savannah.

It's hard not to be famous.

"The content of the show..." Daniel Malik said politely: "Too much prominence of the crew, right? This success would be impossible without you."

Ronan waved his hand: "You are too modest, Director Melick. In fact, all the ideas come from you, the handheld DV shooting of the film, the established movie website, the information collected on the website, these are you and you What our team did, we just did a trivial promotion."

Daniel Malik did not speak, his first great success in his life, coupled with these beautiful words, made him feel soft under his feet, as if he could float at any time.

"This show is my return to the crew to the producer." Ronan looked sincere: "You are the key to the success of the film. Director Melick, don't think about me and the distribution company."

Daniel Malik is just a courtesy. Isn't that an idiot if he doesn't promote himself vigorously and emphasizes the importance of the producer?

Ronan is full of sincerity: "To be honest, there are many opportunities like this for me and the company. It doesn't matter if we miss one. But for you and your team, this is a rare opportunity. You are willing to sell me the film, I am very grateful, so this platform should belong to you."

"Thank you." Daniel Malik was grateful: "Mr. Anderson, thank you very much."

At this moment, the final determination was made. Ronan Anderson and his company have considerable influence, and there are too many opportunities to show their faces, and for these little people, maybe the opportunity is missed and there will be no more.

Go to his distributor, the success of this film is originally the key! The film was filmed by myself, and the website was established by myself The information about the witch was also collected by myself. Even the marketing plan used by Ronan Anderson was inspired by himself?

Even Ronan Anderson himself admitted, what is wrong with the media?

Looking at Daniel Malik, who was excited and even a little excited, Ronan felt that it was almost done, and the producer on the show was Garcia’s colleague back then. The show’s problems may be tricky, but it won’t involve too much distribution. square.

After this show, the names of Daniel Malick and other creators of the crew are expected to spread throughout the United States immediately and become frequently discussed figures in the mouth of the media and movie fans.

However, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is hard to say.

Daniel Malik felt very relieved to work with someone like Ronan Anderson, and said: "Mr. Anderson, I made another film in Africa. Can you help me see it? If possible, I want to make the film Give it to you."

Ronan nodded, "Could you let me see first."

Daniel Malik asked someone to bring a videotape and handed it to Ronan: "This is a videotape I copied."

"I will watch it carefully." Ronan took it over solemnly.

The two talked about other things and agreed that Ronan would send a car to pick them up to NBC's Los Angeles studio tomorrow, and then Ronan and Robert took the initiative to leave.

As soon as he left the reception room, Ronan heard an excited cry from inside.

Ronan glanced back, strode towards the elevator, and said to Robert as he walked: "Tomorrow Garcia will personally bring people to pick them up. You will arrange the vehicle."

Then he gave the video tape to Robert: "Take it back and let the people in the distribution department look at it. It is worthwhile to write a specific report; if it is worthless, return it to Daniel Malick."
