The Best Entertainment Era

In the living room, Kirkland watched the TV with a gloomy expression, obviously in a bad mood.

Harry patted his hand lightly, and comforted him: It's okay, really. It's actually quite interesting to think about it, we...

We've been tricked! Kirkland stared at the TV screen, his face becoming more and more ugly: These bastards!

The fire in my heart is very big. Ever since I saw related news on the Discovery Channel for the first time, I have been concerned about this matter. Not only did I publicize and forward online posts everywhere, but I also joined a volunteer organization at one point and volunteered to run on the streets , Distribute relevant materials and photos to passers-by, hoping to make a contribution to the retrieval of the three college students.

However, the reality is too cruel.

All of this, everything that Kirkland paid attention to and paid for, turned out to be a joke.

The so-called disappearance of the Blair Witch and three students is nothing but a huge hoax.

It was still a rumor before, but tonight's talk show turned all the guesses into reality.

Thinking of the ridicule of the people around him and the enthusiasm he put in, Kirkland felt that he was a joke.

Harry watched the talk show on TV, took the remote control, and said, Shall we change the channel to watch other programs?

It's better not to let the shameless creators of The Blair Witch crew irritate her boyfriend any more.

Kirkland grabbed Halle's hand: Don't change the channel, I want to continue watching, I want to remember these despicable bastards! I will not watch any programs related to them in the future!

He said word by word: Daniel-Malick! Eideardo-Sanzizi! Heather-Donayo! Michael-Williams...

Harry didn't change the channel, and turned to look at the TV. A thin middle-aged man with glasses was answering the host's questions.

Introduced at the beginning of the show, this is the producer and first director of The Blair Witch Daniel Malik.

Kirkland looked at the director on the TV with disgust and anger.

This director is shameless and still bragging!

The host asked: Director Malik, it is said that the idea, shooting and promotion of the film The Blair Witch all come from you, right?

Daniel Malik knew that this was a huge platform, and it was a rare opportunity to promote himself. There were no people from the distribution company who participated in the show today, and the crew was completely dominated by him.

Of course, Daniel Malik would not miss such a good opportunity. He boasted a little: When I was a child, I often listened to stories about witches told by my grandmother, and then I came up with the idea of ​​making a witch movie. One year, I was traveling in Maryland. When I heard local people tell the story of the Blair Witch, I found it to be very good material.

Since Ronan Anderson has no objections, he is no longer polite: I wrote the script of The Blair Witch, and I found Eduardo to cooperate with me, and we shot this film with a handheld camera.

The host asked at the right time: Did you consider pretending to be a documentary at that time?

No, this is not impersonation. Daniel Malick said vigorously: I think this is a new type of film, a 'pseudo-documentary'.

The host remained calm, and the question was clearly instructive: It is said that all the work in the early stage of the film The Blair Witch was made by you?

Daniel Malik is just a director who has not even entered the industry. He has never dealt with the media in the past. How could he hear the trap in this statement, and said directly: You can say it this way.

What he said was not ambiguous at all, and Ronan Anderson and the distribution company had already stated that they would support it.

Can you tell me more about it? The host asked again.

Daniel Malik made a strong effort to highlight himself: The idea of ​​the film The Blair Witch comes from me, I wrote the script, I made the film, I built the website, and I collected information about witches.

Thinking that the North American box office of the film will soon break through the $100 million mark,

Daniel Melick further emphasized his role as a director: Let's put it this way, the promotion and marketing plan of the film also came from me.

Daniel Melick doesn't think there's a problem with this, and Ronan Anderson admits that the marketing plan developed by Embassy Pictures was inspired by the website he built.

The show was still going on, and Kirkland, the audience, was almost bursting with anger.

Seeing her boyfriend's increasingly gloomy face, Harley asked his opinion again, and then turned off the TV.

Kirkland said with a dark face: I will never watch any movies with this bastard director again!

Although Harley was not as angry as Kirkland, she was not happy either, and said, I don't watch it either!

Kirkland stood up and walked towards the computer desk, saying as he walked, I'm going to post a blog!

Turning on the computer, he first posted a blog, and then Harley also posted a blog post. The contents of the two posts were similar, both saying that the crew headed by Daniel Malik was despicable and calling on friends to boycott any future events they participated in. Movie.

Kirkland looked online specifically, and there was already a lot of scolding on the Internet.

Of course, there are many people who express their admiration for the formulation of this viral marketing plan, but the condemnation belongs to the absolute majority.

That director named Daniel Malik is too wicked, he is a liar at all!

The filming is so stupid, did you use all your brains to deceive people?

Will our audience be mentally retarded? I will never watch movies related to this bastard again.

It is the first of its kind to create a fake documentary horror film that is shoddy and mysterious. I am quite disgusted with the hype of this film. It is quite unscrupulous.

That means I'm not in Los Angeles. If I were in Los Angeles, I would rush to NBC's studio right now and shoot this bastard!

Kirkland also has the urge to kill, this Daniel Malik and his team are too much! It's basically playing people like monkeys in a circus.

Daniel Mylick is still excited after the show is done on NBC's Los Angeles studio.

Director Malik. A staff member from the embassy film industry came to inform: The car is at the front door, do you want to leave now?

Daniel Malik consulted the others and said, Go back to the hotel.

Today, I feel very comfortable. When I went out, the people from the embassy film industry stepped aside and followed them like a follower.

Regarding the attitude of the Embassy Pictures, Daniel Melick is very satisfied. Ronan Anderson respects him and attaches great importance to him. Success and obscurity are indeed the difference between heaven and earth.

Soon to be a well-known director and a member of the directors club with a billion-dollar box office.

Thinking that the North American box office of The Blair Witch is about to exceed 100 million, Daniel Malik suddenly realized that he had overlooked a problem.

The Blair Witch has a box office of over 100 million. Ronan Anderson and Embassy Pictures can make tens of millions of dollars. What about yourself?

How much can I earn?

Daniel Melick's heart sank. He was immersed in the excitement and joy of the success and fame of his first work before, and he didn't think about this issue.

Now that I have a reputation, my mind naturally turns to profit.

No matter how much money The Blair Witch makes, how much money can I get?

Daniel Melick thought about the contract, the $80,000 buyout, and the $50,000 box office bonus when the film grossed $500,000.

And then...and then it's gone.

And the $50,000 box office bonus has to be shared with the rest of the cast.

With all his calculations, he made a profit of at most $100,000.

Why am I so stupid? At that time, it only cost such a little copyright fee and post-production share! No, this matter needs to be discussed with Ronan Anderson.

Daniel Malik still has some confidence, Ronan Anderson attaches great importance to him, and now he is not the unknown director at the beginning, and The Blair Witch is all from his hand, from the idea to the script to the shooting and production, and he also has the capital to compete with Ronan. Nan Anderson talks about the post split.

While thinking, he left the studio. The lights on the side of the road were extremely bright, and the lights near the door were brightly lit. There were actually many fans and reporters.

Some fans wore cultural shirts with the words Blair the Witch printed on them, and the reporters seemed to be eager to come and interview them.

Numerous flashing lights were on, and the dazzling lights were almost blinding.

This feeling of media attention pulled Daniel Malik's sinking heart back, raised his eyes, smiled, and was ready to respond to the people around him.

Whoosh—

Something seemed to be flying over from the left.

Daniel Malik subconsciously turned his head to look, and an oval-shaped object flew in front of his eyes, hit his face, and then shattered, leaving a clear yellow stream on his face.

Whoosh—

Another egg flew out of the fans, brushed past Daniel Malik's head, and landed on the ground.

Kill the bastard!

Some fans were shouting excitedly.

Daniel Malik was a little confused, unable to figure out what the situation was.

Go!

Go!

A security guard urged.

The staff of the embassy film industry also ran over from behind, pushing the crew to get into the car, and several eggs flew out and hit the ground behind them.

Why? Daniel Malick sat in the car, took a tissue to wipe off the sticky stuff on his face, and asked, Why?

I'm the director and they're fans of The Blair Witch, why are they attacking me?

Daniel Melick couldn't figure it out for a moment.

The staff of the embassy film industry answered: It may be that some movie fans are overly emotional. He knew the inside story and said nonsense: During the screening, some movie fans were very frightened, and it is said that some people fainted from fright, which may be due to excessive fright. fans.

Daniel Malik nodded, there is some truth to this.

The staff said again: This is not a bad thing, it means that the movie you made is too good and scary.

When the car came to the hotel, the staff reminded: Tomorrow morning there will be a media interview, and in the afternoon we will shoot the cover of the magazine. These are specially arranged by Mr. Anderson for you.

Hearing this, Daniel Malik's mood quickly improved. Ronan Anderson is really a good person, and one media event after another was specially arranged to highlight himself.
