Chapter 520： Poor people

Sitting in Ronan’s office, Uvibauer carefully looked at the plan in his hand. Although he belongs to the kind of director who is super confident from beginning to end, he is somewhat self-aware after working hard in Hollywood over the past few years.

The first film directed by the director of Death Haunted House Why did the box office sell well? Only the North American box office is 30 times the production cost. The film is very wonderful and the quality is excellent.

Even if Uvibauer was asked to answer, he could only say no.

In the final analysis, it is the innovative and shameless publicity and marketing of Embassy Pictures.

Such a big film company is shameless, what is a director afraid of

Uvibauer felt that the plan was nothing.

Ronan still respected Uvibauer's opinion and asked him: "This is a propaganda idea designed by Embassy Pictures for the dungeon siege. Because it is directly related to you, I have to ask for your opinion."

Hearing this, Uvibauer could feel that the Relativity Entertainment Group still respected him quite a bit.

"The design is very good." Uvibauer smiled and said, "Ronan, this is a genius design."

Ronan asked again: "You think it's okay."

Uvibauer put away his smile and said very seriously: "If there is no problem, follow this plan."

Ronan nodded: "You have to be prepared."

Uvibauer grinned and said: "Ronan, I've seen that group of **** are not pleasing to the eye. When the House of Death was released, they scolded me so crazy, I couldn't fight back, and now I can finally play with the group of bastards. I said go to eat shit, why should I miss it"

Ronan didn't know how to answer the conversation, but Wu Bao's thinking was not on the average channel.

"My years of practice finally came in handy." Uvibauer was not only excited, but also a little excited: "I can't wait."

Ronan said, "Uvi, there will be someone from the Embassy Pictures to communicate with you."

Uvibauer nodded: "No problem."

After talking about the business, Ronan asked about Uvibauer’s obsessive game adaptation copyright: "How are you doing at Blizzard?"

"Don't mention it." Uvibauer was not without frustration: "Blizzard people are like the hardest rock on the mountain. They don't know how to work one by one. They stick to their games and hold the games in their hands. They can only be Games, adapted into movies, can be promoted through multiple channels, and a lot of income."

Ronan sighed: "Blizzard's job is not easy to do."

Uvibauer didn't mean to give up: "I'm consuming with Blizzard, and I will go twice a month from now on until they are willing to sell me the copyright of Warcraft. No, it's to us."

Ronan suddenly thought of one thing, Blizzard is now a subsidiary of Vivendi, can you start from Vivendi?

But this idea passed quickly. It was Uvibauer who was obsessed with Warcraft, and it was not Relativity Entertainment. Unless the investment is low, the risk of making a big game and adapting a movie is too great.

Uvibauer, he did what he said, and after leaving Relativity Entertainment, he rushed to Blizzard.

Ronan counted the time, as if World of Warcraft was about to run, this was a cross-epoch online game that affected countless people.

Also created the myth of eating books.

Once living on the other side of the Pacific, he heard people say that the Blizzard God himself ate books and killed countless fellow authors.

More than half a month before the release of Dungeon Siege, Embassy Pictures is preparing for the "Uvi Bauer" plan while carrying out regular publicity and promotion.

For example, this weekend, Dungeon Siege will hold a special screening for media and film critics in Burbank.

Many media, especially entertainment media that tend to gossip, have received invitations from the Embassy Pictures for the preview.

In addition, professional film critics are a frequent group in Hollywood movie screenings.

Commercial films released by Embassy Pictures in the past rarely invited film critics to participate even if they held previews.

This time, the Embassy Pictures invited hundreds of film critics, but the invitation list was specially designed and studied. None of the invited film critics were established film critics with relatively good professional ethics and reliable film reviews. Most of them were somewhat famous. It's not a very famous kind.

The rise of the Internet has had a huge impact on many traditional industries, and the industry of professional film critics is no exception.

Before seven or eight years, ordinary viewers watched the film, and even if they had opinions that they wanted to publish, most of them couldn't find channels and could only discuss with their friends around.

Up to now, as long as the audience wants to watch the movie, they can immediately post their own film reviews on blogs, forums or idbs, or even the Netflix share that just appeared.

I have to say that in the past, professional film critics were a high-end industry, but now there are more people who publish film reviews, and their attention is scattered.

Except for those at the top, most film critics simply rely on writing film reviews, and they can't even support themselves.

The phrase Renqianzhishuan has never been so simple.

The film critic Charles Eric from Los Angeles is currently facing this situation. More than two years ago, Charles Eric gained some fame with the help of a fight with Paris Hilton, even though he refused to drink Paris Hilton. His footwash has caused many people to criticize him for being unbelievable, without the responsibility and courage as a man, but in any case, he has changed from obscurity to a film critic who can remember his name.

However, his fame did not significantly improve his career. After the short-term cooperation with the National Herald, as traditional newspapers and magazines all have film critics who have worked with them all year round, those veteran film critics firmly grasp the traditional media. The film critic column makes it difficult for younger generation film critics like Charles Eric to have the opportunity to make an appearance in the print media.

There are a lot of opportunities on the Internet. The problem is that there are too many people who write film reviews on the Internet. There are too many websites and forums to hire full-time film critics.

This is simply too embarrassing.

For more than two years, Charles Eric has worked hard and has written thousands of film reviews, and the income in exchange for it is only tens of thousands of dollars.

If you don’t use the reputation you have accumulated so hard to promote some movies on your blog, your life will be a problem.

Sometimes, Charles Erik missed the situation when the House of Death was released very much. He only wrote some truthful commentary articles. He fought with the bad German director and Paris Hilton a few times and got almost Equal to one year's income.

But such good things do not happen every year.

To be precise, Charles Eric has only encountered it once.

When Charles Eric was worried about his income, someone found him and he was an old acquaintance.

In an old coffee shop in downtown Los Angeles, Charles Eric looked at the person opposite, trying to remember.

"Eric, you are still the same."

This person spoke very openly, as if he were a close old friend: "Nothing has changed at all."

Charles Eric gradually remembered: "It's you"

The man smiled: "It's me, Matthias. Remember, we met here about a year ago."

"Yes, I remember you." Eric suddenly realized, and then there was a hint of ecstasy. It was this Matthias that gave him the opportunity to anger Paris Hilton. He coughed softly, suppressed the glitch, and said as calmly as possible: "Madias, what's the matter with me suddenly?"

Mathias smiled: "A chance."

The corners of Eric’s mouth twitched unconsciously, could it be a chance for hope?

Matthias did not lose his appetite, and said: "It's almost the same as last time, a good opportunity to make money."

Compared to the last time, Eric is somewhat more mature, and he considers himself a well-known film critic, and must maintain the self-esteem and style of a well-known film critic.

He looked at Matthias, but didn't speak, as if he didn't care about this opportunity.

Mathias appeared here, had already checked Eric’s current situation, and said with a smile: "We have worked together once before, and now we can cooperate again. The German director I hate has made another film, which will be In theaters this month."

Eric finds it incredible: "A bad director like Uvibauer still has someone to invest in"

"A film adapted from a game called Dungeon Siege." Matias neither explained nor explained to the film critics that he did not know the selection criteria of the production company, and said directly: "I have received news that this is still a bad film. What you need to do is the same as last time, go to the preview of the film, and then write down your real comments and feelings about the film, especially the opinion of the director Uvi Bauer."

Eric shook his head: "Sorry, I don't do this now. I am a professional filmmaker and I have my own professional ethics."

Matthias did not show his true thoughts, and his tone was still calm: "Mr. Eric, you don't have to write anything against your intentions. Believe me, even if you comment in the most malicious words, fans will stand On your side."

Eric still didn't speak.

Mathias simply stretched out his palm showed five fingers: "Five thousand dollars in reward",

"What" Eric was surprised at first, and then turned into surprise: "There are really fifty thousand dollars"

Mathias nodded slowly.

Eric immediately threw the professional ethics on the ground, stomped a few times, and said without hesitation: "I did it."

"Fifty thousand dollars is not just a reward for writing a film review." Matthias slowly took out a file bag and handed it to Eric: "This is a plan I made. Like last time, a confidentiality agreement is required."

Eric went through it quickly, a bit embarrassed.

Mathias reminded him: "In less than a month, you can make $50,000."

"Okay" Eric made up his mind: "I'll do it"

Mathias laughed: "I will bring the first payment and related agreements with you tomorrow. Please prepare and participate in the preview of the film in a few days."

After getting Eric, Mathias left the cafe and rushed to the next game.
