This is the first time Harvey Weinstein saw the project plan written by Wayne, which is just a very simple version. From this thing, he can imagine that the other party’s previous project plan must be more neat and rigorous.

He had only seen such things from another producer, who was a producer named Jerry Brookheimer, and was also a genius.

Putting down the thing in his hand, Harvey Weinstein leaned on the chair and began to recall the entire plan in his mind, considering the feasibility of the matter, the money needed to be invested, and the price he had to pay.

"Wayne." He squinted his already small eyes and paid attention to the change in the expression of the young man in front of him. "Are you not afraid that after I go back, you can get a piece of this kind of thing yourself? This thing is not difficult."

Wayne really considered this. He knew very well what Harvey Weinstein was. This fat man had never had any moral bottom line.

But today, his status has long been different. He is definitely not the unknown young director a few years ago. If this fat man dared to play this trick with him, he would have a way to make the other party pay the price.

"If I dare to take this thing out, I won't be afraid that you will leave me alone."

Wayne lit a cigarette with a smile, and didn't take his words seriously. Instead, he asked, "Tell me what you think. If this matter is left to you, how long will it take?"

The fat man stretched out his hand, lit the documents on the table one by one, and said while thinking: "You can just find someone to shoot this kind of film. If you want to be faster, it will not even take a month.

However, the subsequent viral marketing plan requires a large amount of media resources, which is the main investment point of funds. If you want to gain the influence in the plan, you may have to spend tens of millions of publicity and distribution costs, and this number may not be enough."

A pseudo-documentary with a horror color. It is very easy to make such a thing, but the film itself is not the main selling point. On the contrary, this marketing plan is.

If we look at this marketing plan alone, if we think about the results of this unprecedented method, we can clearly understand the business opportunities contained in it, and we can also invest a lot.

The investment in publicity and development of tens of millions of dollars is just a conservative estimate by Harvey Weinstein. If it wants to create a hot event, this number may need to be several times higher.

If this thing is given to others, it will easily make the plan bankrupt if it is given to one issue channel. However, Miramax has its own issuance department and improves mature issuance channels.

So the only thing this fat man is worried about is the high publicity cost.

"Harvey, we can set up a studio together and get this witch project out. After passing through the Miramax distribution channel, I think you can't see the profits therein."

Wayne understood that what he was worried about was that he could not be unable to lose face and conduct unlimited speculation, but the capital cost that might be invested in the early stage, so he continued:

"We can discuss an investment ratio, and the initial investment can be distributed in proportion. Of course, the profits obtained also need to be settled in this proportion."

“A very crazy marketing method!”

Harvey Weinstein looked at the young man with an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes. He was silent for several minutes before he spoke.

"First of all, I have to say that this thing is very feasible, and with it from your hands, I believe the success rate will be higher, but...

However, this viral and deceptive publicity method will definitely ignite public opinion, and once movie fans enter the theater, this matter will naturally be exposed. At that time, we will definitely be overwhelmed by countless angry movie fans and media saliva, and the deceived public will definitely find ways to tear us apart!”

Wayne smiled and let out a sip of green smoke, saying indifferently: "The production company is an unknown studio. Although the distribution company is Miramax, the first goal of the media and the public is the film director. I think this is definitely not a problem for you, right?"

That's right, what does the anger of the movie fans have to do with Wayne? He doesn't plan to show up in this matter at all, otherwise he wouldn't have asked this fat man to cooperate with him.

As a director who is constantly successful, he can't bear such a reputation even now. Once the credit of movie fans is lost, it will never be recovered by two films.

And Wayne is sure that this fat man is definitely not afraid of being scolded, and he will not do it himself. At most, the distribution company Miramax has been criticized, but compared with the benefits he has obtained, this criticism is nothing.

No one would refuse the dollar that was easily obtained, especially a greedy Jewish fat man.

"This ratio..." Harvey Weinstein happily skipped the topic and started talking about the investment ratio directly. "You know, after Miramax released this video, it will be affected more or less, so I want 70% of the profit!"

Wayne understood that this was the reason why the other party was picking and constantly complaining about the difficulties. To put it bluntly, it was all for the benefit.

He shook his head, and a sarcasm suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Have, do you think it's possible? Or do you want to kick me out in this way?"

"Not that, I need it..."

"Fifty percent!" Wayne waved his hand and interrupted him. "Harvey, this is my bottom line, 50 percent of the profit! I made the creativity, but I need you to do it, and the project also needs you to host it. So, whether it is early investment or late income, we each get half of the profit, isn't it fair?"

Seeing that Harvey Weinstein wanted to refute, he continued: "Don't look for such ridiculous reasons. I don't need to teach you the operation method here. Wouldn't you register a new distribution company, apply Miramax's distribution channels, and publishers? Isn't this difficult to push the new distribution company and director to the front stage, right?"

Hearing these words, the fat man finally fell silent. Wayne's words were very realistic and straightforward. What he had to consider now is whether to accept this ratio or not, otherwise the ending would definitely be a breakup. There would definitely be no need to talk about the "Lord of the Rings".

In fact, Wayne is really not a fool. In his memory, this witch movie was released by Yijiang. Yijiang's approach is to put the director and actors on the stage together to accept the anger of countless movie fans and media.

But I basically didn't say a word, hid behind the scenes, and made a lot of money in silence.

"Okay, that's it." After thinking for a long time, Harvey Weinstein finally nodded and agreed. "I will find a young director who wants to become famous as soon as possible, get the film out before the New Year, and turn around and ask your agent to contact me and register a studio together."

Wayne also laughed and reached out to shoot with him. It was impossible to shoot such a film with almost a small director and a few actors. It was not difficult to rent two cameras and find two behind-the-scenes staff.

"Harvey, in two days, you can get rid of all your doubts about this marketing plan. Believe me, you will see the results in advance!"

Faced with the fat man's puzzled eyes, he did not explain much. Warner Brothers will launch a simplified version of this marketing plan starting Monday, and I believe the result will give the fat man more confidence.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare." Harvey Weinstein put the items in his bag, stood up and shook hands with him, and said something specifically before leaving. "The invitation to "Pulp Novel" has been sent to your agent, and you must come and support the premiere."

Wayne nodded. "No problem, I will definitely go."

Just as Wayne talked to others about viral marketing, Warner Bros. had already quietly started to take action.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the North American Cable News Network, a TV station owned by Turner Broadcasting Corporation, provides news columns 24 hours a day to cable news users through satellites. On Monday afternoon, it interspersed an emergency news report.

Because it conducts global news reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and in the face of breaking news, the International News Network will also conduct on-site news reports as soon as possible, which has unparalleled credibility among the general public.

"The latest report from reporters, in a satellite city in the Greater Los Angeles area, in a U.S.-wide artist cinema chain in Cheng County, two young people were watching the movie "The Joker's Fright" this afternoon and were frightened to have a sudden myocardial infarction. Before the ambulance arrived, they were confirmed to have died.

According to the reporter's interview, the two young people who died were a couple and a pair of veteran horror film lovers. At three o'clock this afternoon, they came to the theater to watch the movie with their friends, but suddenly had a heart attack when the horror scenes appeared.

The couple had a history of heart disease. When the friends around them noticed something was wrong, their heartbeat had stopped for a long time. This emergency caused strong protests from the family of the deceased. The friends and family of the deceased have now surrounded the cinema..."

The clear reporting images in the news instantly spread to thousands of households in North America through 16 satellites from the News TV network, and also to more than 180 countries around the world.

According to this year's statistics, a total of 184 million families have watched it for a long time, which has also caused a huge influence in a short period of time.

There are conservatively estimated that tens of millions of people in North America have received this emergency news together. Less than two hours have passed, and the news has been published in major evening news newspapers.

Authoritative media such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times have all released additional news reports in special issues in evenings.
