Chapter 252 Winning "Blair the Witch"

"What's the matter with this movie?"

"Yeah? DV movies are considered movies these years?"

"This is all nonsense!"

"Yes!"

"Let’s not talk about the mediocre picture quality of DV, which is far inferior to professional camcorders. The director’s ability to control the rhythm alone is a complete beginner! Also, the sensitivity setting of the picture is extremely unbearable; the camera shakes make people think Spit; less than 30 minutes after seeing it, I found at least 5 gangbangers. Oh my god, is this a movie?"

"Blair the Witch, haha, this is just a joke."

Not only did Pressure Mountain and Marco gave a bad review of "Blair the Witch", all the people who watched the film on the spot gave it a bad or extremely bad review.

Lionsgate’s owner Gusta, even less than 20 minutes after seeing it, left angrily.

He declared...well, too hot eyes!

When "Blair the Witch" first opened, there were more than 60 people in the theater, but less than 30 minutes passed, and only a few people remained.

"Boss, I'm dizzy and want to go out a bit." Marco said, shaking his head.

Alexander didn't speak, but stared straight at Zhuke, which also said everything.

Too spicy eyes!

Zhuke got up.

"Since I don't like it, then let's go out."

As soon as these words came out, Alexander and Marco felt even more surprised.

After all, just now, Zhu Ke said he was optimistic about the future prospects of this movie.

"Hehe, being optimistic about the future of "Blair the Witch" does not mean that I am willing to suffer such a harsh treatment." Zhu Ke thought in his heart.

In the original time and space, after Artisan Entertainment bought the full copyright of "Blair the Witch" from Daniel Merrick and Adiyado Sanchiz, it also carried out an extremely difficult re-editing.

Yes, just re-editing.

It is said that the editors of Artisan Entertainment, after watching "Blair the Witch", shouted: "This is an extremely inferior editing technique. To say that they are beginners is completely complimenting them."

One can imagine how bad the original editing of "Blair the Witch" is!

.......

Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon that day.

In a coffee shop in Parker Town, the representative of Artisan Entertainment met with the two directors of "Blair the Witch", Daniel Merrick and Adiyado Sanchiz.

"Man, I opened the skylight and talked, "Blair the Witch" we Artisan Entertainment asked for, 30,000 US dollars to win the full copyright." Artisan Entertainment representative said.

"Eh? Really?!"

The two directors of "Blair the Witch" were immediately very excited.

After all, when the film was broadcast in the morning, almost no one liked it; now someone is willing to buy it, they are naturally very excited.

"Cheers, two young people. The first movie you directed can be seen by the great Artisan Entertainment, which represents your boundless future." The representative of Artisan Entertainment proudly said.

Daniel and Adiyaduo naturally thanked again and again.

but......

"Sir, is the price of $30,000 a bit too low? We filmed "Blair the Witch" before and after, but it cost $60,000." Daniel said.

"Yes, sir, since you are watching our movie well, you shouldn't just pay 30,000 US dollars to take our full copyright." Adiyaduo agreed.

"Humph!"

In an instant, the artisan entertainment representative who was still smiling just now changed his face and snorted coldly: "If this is the case, then we have nothing to talk about."

After speaking, he will get up and leave.

The representative of Artisan Entertainment's face was full of sullenness, and he just didn't say "shame on the face".

"This......"

Both Daniel and Adiyaduo also changed their complexions.

They got up quickly.

"Sir, you can add more." Daniel gritted his teeth.

Get the full copyright for $30,000?

Nima, this is exactly half of the production cost!

No one wants to lose money!

Hearing that, the expression of the representative of Artisan Entertainment has eased a lot, but his tone is still very strong: "I will add another 20,000 US dollars and give you three days. If you agree, we will sign the contract immediately, otherwise it will be ignored."

After speaking, he left directly regardless of obstruction.

In fact, in the original time and space, in addition to Artisan Entertainment, there are two other film companies interested in "Blair the Witch", but their bids are lower!

A bid of US$25,000;

The other is only willing to pay a price of $10,000.

.......

On the other side, Zhu Ke, who had just watched a few fairly good movies, washed his eyes and returned to the hotel.

"Marko, please contact the two directors of "Blair the Witch" and take all the copyrights to it." Zhu Ke ordered.

"Boss, where's the price range?" Marco asked.

Zhuke pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Under $150,000."

This price is enough to impress the two directors of "Blair the Witch".In fact, despite the fact that Artisan Entertainment eventually paid a price of $120,000 to win the full copyright, it took up to 9 days before and after.

Is Artisan Entertainment really optimistic about the prospects of Blair the Witch?

Shit!

They just hold the attitude of trying it out.

We must know that after the artisan bought the full copyright of "Blair the Witch", he didn't invest much money in propaganda and operation. At best, it was 300,000 US dollars.But when the film made a box office of as much as $570,000 in only 27 theaters in the first week, they realized the "fraudulent" excellence of "Blair the Witch".

After that, he began to invest heavily in publicity funds!

In the second week, the number of theaters showing "Blair the Witch" rose directly to 1,100.

Therefore, Artisan Entertainment did not pay much attention to the movie at the beginning.

This gave Zhu Ke a chance.

As expected...

Marko, as a distribution talent of the original Fox Pictures, took up the position of director of the distribution department directly after hopping to Wald Pictures. His ability is beyond doubt.

As soon as he shot, within a few days, he won the full copyright of "Blair the Witch".

Not only that, but the official website of "Blair the Witch" set up by Daniel and the material about "witches" and "disappearances" posted on many forums were also taken.

$130,000!

That's right, the total price is $130,000!

"Two, it's time to sign the contract." Marco said with a smile.

"Thank you." Daniel was extremely grateful.

Another director and owner-Adiyato.He was also very excited because the movies they made made money.

"Two, I want to remind you."

Marko emphatically said: "After signing this contract, the two of you must act in accordance with the contract and are obliged to cooperate with Wald Pictures' announcement of "Blair the Witch", otherwise you will have to pay 2 million US dollars for breach of contract. gold."

"No problem, it should be." Daniel and the two agreed very happily.

Isn't it just to cooperate with the publicity? As the new directors, it is too late to be happy.

but!

However, there will be times when they regret it later!

The success of "Blair the Witch" earned more than $240 million in global box office results not because of how good the film is, but because it is a complete "fraud", "scam", and "viral". Promotional marketing.

Money is good, but it will attract infamy!

The audience are not fools, and when they come back to their senses, they will surely find that they have been deceived!

Therefore, Zhuke, Marco and others need the original crew of "Blair the Witch" to stand in front of the stage as a scapegoat and become the target of the audience's anger!

"The infamy is yours, and the money is made by us."

This is the plan of Zhu Ke et al.

I have to say that Zhu Ke and others are treacherous.

.......

at the same time.

The artisan entertainment representative on the other side also learned the news, but he didn't care much.

"A junk movie, ha ha, and Wald Pictures treats it as a treasure."

"" The first update is sent.
