The Best Entertainment Era

Inside a middle-class community theater in Orange County.

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

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

Thinking of the big extra money last time, Mario wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, Hehe, I drink iced Coke every day.

Paul was very helpless with his appearance, and said: If you drink again, you will get fat! Be careful to collapse the stage!

The two came to an office, knocked on the door, heard someone responding inside, pushed the door open, 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: Let's talk, I'll go out for a walk.

The two parties had a pleasant cooperation once, and Robert didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed them a simple proposal: I want to invite the two of you to cooperate with me to act in a play. It is much simpler than last time, and the reward is more generous. You guys are going to stay with me in a hotel in Los Angeles for a while.

Paul quickly browsed through the proposal, suddenly realized, and said: The missing person notice on the Internet...

Robert coughed hard and interrupted Paul's words: It's good to understand some things, how about it? Do it?

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

Seeing the generous remuneration figures, Paul nodded quickly: Mr. Robert, we do things, don't worry.

Robert didn't talk nonsense: Go clean up and follow me to Los Angeles.

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

With the experience of last time, Robert has no difficulty in doing it.

A Blockbuster video storefront in Long Island, New York.

prickly——

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

Arthur was tall and big, and he didn't need a ladder, so he easily pasted the new poster on it. He took two steps back, saw that it was not crooked, and went forward to stick it firmly.

He looked at the pictures and words on the poster suspiciously, and said, The store manager, we are renting out video tapes. Isn't it appropriate to post a missing person poster here? This is too strange, and it will make people laugh.

The store manager tilted his head and looked at the words written by the witch Blair and the three college students, and said, This is a notice issued by the head office, and it's beyond your control. Someone is willing to pay for advertising, so why bother so much?

A young man who had rented the videotape was about to go out. When he saw the missing person notice on the poster, he subconsciously stopped, read it carefully, and asked, Have the three missing people been found?

Arthur shook his head: No, didn't you see that they all posted missing person notices in our store.

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

You don't know? said the young man who rented the video tape: Many people are discussing the Blair Witch and these three missing college students. The families of the missing people were interviewed some time ago, and they were all on TV. It's so pitiful that their relatives are missing. , not even a dead body was found.

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

I haven't found any useful information for three years. Isn't it inaction? The young man who rented the video said, I'll check the phone number of the Maryland State Police and call them too!

The young man walked out of the store with the video tape in his arms.

The store manager asked curiously: Arthur, is this story widely spread?

Boss, you should pay more attention to current affairs. Arthur said, relying on his good relationship with the store manager, You are all behind the times, you know?

He explained: Now the Internet is full of stories about these three college students.

There are countless related posts. Even the TV station broadcast a video of the three people before they disappeared, and some volunteers set up a website specially for them. This matter is too hot, too many people are discussing it, and even Fox TV station was alarmed. Yes, this weekend night, Fox has a TV program dedicated to analyzing witches in North America, go watch it if you have time.

Arthur stared at the entrance of a supermarket across the road through the open store door, and said, Look, there's a missing person notice over there too.

A big boy wearing a cultural shirt walked into the store at this time and handed Arthur a piece of information: If you see the person above, please call the number on the missing person notice, and the family will reward you with a lot of money.

Arthur scratched his head, not knowing what to say. On the boy's cultural shirt, the words Blair the Witch were clearly printed, and there were pictures of the three college students underneath.

When the big boy left, Arthur followed him out to have a look, and found that many people in cultural shirts were active in this commercial area.

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

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

Although he is only a videotape seller, he has been engaged in film-related work for many years, and subconsciously feels that there is a problem with this matter, but he can't figure out what the problem is.

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

Has anyone read the latest news on the website? A young black-haired man asked, Have those three been found? Was it really the work of a witch?

The blond man wearing glasses answered: There is a restored recording on the website, and screams can be heard, but unfortunately there is no related video.

A woman asked: Will they be eaten by the Blair Witch?

Witches eat people?

I watched the Fox TV program, and it said that some witches are rumored to be cannibals.

The black-haired young man shook his head: It's a pity that Uncle Jiu is not here. If there is Uncle Jiu, this small problem will be solved in minutes.

Who is Uncle Jiu? Can he beat a witch?

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

These people continued to discuss after reading it, and soon attracted more people, and curious people joined in one after another.

From the beginning of May to the beginning of June, it spread to countless people through various channels such as the Internet, TV, newspapers, magazines, periodicals, posting advertisements, and spreading materials on the street.

This incident was so stimulating to people's curiosity and exploration, that most of the people who came into contact with the incident became the source of the virus, and the news related to the witch Blair and the college students always spread wildly like virus replication.

At the beginning of July, many channels including the Internet, newspapers, TV, and outdoor media announced at the same time that the videos shot by the DV cameras of three college students have been restored and will be played in theaters across North America from July 16. .

The news quickly spread throughout North America like a virus.

Countless people were discussing the fate of the three missing college students, what the Blair Witch would look like, and what was in the video tape...

The most popular thing on the Internet now is the Blair Witch. David Villa accompanied Ronan out of the parking lot and walked towards the small theater where the trial session was held. There are more than 500 websites related to this incident, and the total number of reposts on the Internet is as high as more than 1.7 million.

For the first time, he showed excitement in front of Ronan: Our movie website has a total of 22.5 million visits!

Ronan nodded: Good job.

Looking at the theater in front of me, I don't know if the film-watching experts of the theater company have 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 is hiring people to post online to gather popularity, or various offline activities, they all need financial support. It cost $6 million.

This enthusiasm is actually burned out with money.

However, Embassy Pictures has stayed in the background, never disclosing its name in any communications.

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

For the first weekend, of course, try to get as many theaters as possible.
