Chapter 24 I Love Hollywood

(I would like to vote, please encourage me!!!!)

The shooting of the night scene was quite smooth. The crew started shooting at 19 o'clock and basically ended in the early morning. The forest in the night itself gave people a huge psychological pressure, and it was also a horror film, so everyone in the crew felt frightened. After the filming was completed, Ram, the owner of the wooden house, proposed that everyone sleep in the wooden house tonight. However, this opinion was opposed by all personnel.

Especially Zoe, she insisted on going back to the hotel to sleep. In the end, Ike decided to let Ram lead the way and even touch the dark side, she would go back. Uncle Ram smiled helplessly and kept saying, Why are you young people so brave?

In fact, at this time, everyone admired the guardian of the forest very much because he could spend the night alone in this wooden house.

The crowd slowly walked out of the forest with the lights and followed Uncle Ram with his hand-held shotgun.

The end of the night scene means that the filming of "Blair the Witch" has come to an end. According to Ike's plan, the pseudo-documentary can be completed in three days at most. After the filming of the entire crew is completed, he himself has to go to the distant Maryland to take some outdoor scenes. However, these are much simpler.

Just as Ike was strode forward in filming, Green, who was guarding the 3D company headquarters, was also very busy. At present, he has two major tasks, one is the promotion of "Rose Boy's Dream", and the other is to conceive how to build online momentum for "The Witch Blair" based on Ike's plan.

Promotion is very important for a modern film, and it can even be said to be one of the most important factors for box office sales. Of course, the premise is that the film has certain competitiveness. If a bad film is well promoted, the box office may also be popular, but this is not a long-term solution for a film company to develop, because the audience cannot be deceived by publicity every time.

However, for a powerful movie, publicity is particularly important. If the publicity is not effective, a good movie may lose momentum in the box office.

Therefore, with the development of movies today, the cost of film companies' promotional investment is even equal to the production costs.

But what 3D companies lack now is funds. Without funds, they cannot place advertisements. Although various posters of "Rose Boy's Dream" have been posted and people have been asked to do the web page, the effect is very average, the number of visits is extremely low, and there are almost no comments.

This is a very headache for Green. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. "The Rose Boy's Dream" cannot carry out viral online publicity like "The Witch", because it is a traditional niche art film.

In desperation, Green called Ike to ask for his opinion. But what could I do? He wouldn't use modifiers to increase funds. The reason is that it was fatal, and the other was that he felt it was unnecessary, because Ike knew that as long as he survived this section, a movie "The Witch" could make him and the company earn enough money. Moreover, he did not plan to have any box office miracle in "Rose Boy's Dream", it was just a random event given by the system.

But then again, you can't let "Rose Boy Dream" lose money. When Ike thought of that fat Bobby, he wouldn't let this white-skinned pig with serious racism look at his own jokes.

The funds don’t need to be modified. This is something that can be obtained by relying on current strength, but what about other things? Ike opened the computer and entered the game. He saw this column in the company’s data. If he changed this data himself, would something happen? It’s impossible that the next day, the 3D company will become the focus of attention of major media.

But no matter what, now we can only try it out, because the increase in this data will be permanent. Not only will the income of "Rose Boy's Dream", but all the company's movies will be useful in the future.

Change! Ike made up his mind and dragged the company's promotional value from 10 to 40. At this time, the system prompt sound appears: Dear player, you are currently modifying the company's ability value. The soul point deducted by this value is much higher than the individual modification. This time the system will deduct 15 soul values. Do you continue?

Fake Ike cursed again, 15 o'clock!!! You just took my fortune and made up. From this, it seems that the company's modification is to deduct soul value by 2:1.

This cost is too great. If modified, your soul point will directly become 54 points. Before you find the soul point, this approach is like flying a moth to a fire and drinking poison to quench your thirst. It is really unnecessary to be a movie "Rose Boy's Dream" with no box office competitiveness.

But thinking about it carefully is correct. When Ike modified the company's funds, he discovered this kind of sign. Just 2,000w can directly erase himself. From this, it seems that the system restricts the company's changes more strictly, and even reaches the point where it is not allowed. Just changing a promotional value to 40 can take away 15 points. If you change the prestige value, production value, distribution value, media communication value, etc.... Oh, you can't hold on to your life.

Seeing these, Ike clicked no helplessly. But...oh, don't change it?

Ike walked around the hotel room for more than 20 laps. After a difficult ideological struggle, he returned to the computer again. He dragged the promotional value to 20, then placed the mouse in the yes position, and closed his eyes and clicked.

5 souls allowed the system to take it into.64, which is all the points that Ike maintains in this world!!

Two days later, the crew of "Blair the Witch" was completed, which is a pleasure. Because no matter in any world, this is Ike's first movie as a director.

Ike led all the crew back to Los Angeles, and Grin specially arranged a "finalization banquet" to reward the crew.

During the meal, everyone recalled every bit of the filming for 10 days. Ike also felt a little emotional. Although the filming time was not long, the crew got along very well. He knew that after this meal, everyone would go their separate ways. If they wanted to gather together to film in the future, I don’t know what year or month it would take.

Ike and everyone left behind ways to connect with each other, and especially encouraged Zoe to work hard. He hoped that Zoe would become a big star that everyone loves in Hollywood in the future.

Of course, he also emphasized the confidentiality agreement, and he warned everyone to abide by it. Ike also joked that you are already "dead" for this documentary, so you must evaporate the world.

Ike knew that the key to the success of this movie was to make everyone think that this was a real event. So, from the moment, no problem with any details.

After the banquet, Green pulled Ike back to the office, and he said there was an important thing to tell him.

"Man, yesterday there was a man who claimed to be a movie website and wanted to help us promote "Rose Boy's Dream"." As soon as he entered the house, Green told Ike the news.

"What?" Ike was stunned. "Is there such a good thing? What website?" He asked while secretly thinking, would it be the result of modifying the promotional value?

Green smiled, he asked Ike to sit down, and then explained to him, "This website has not been held for a long time, but it is a professional website for film reviews and discussions, called 'I love Hollywood'."

"I love Hollywood?" Ike became even more confused. No matter in any world, he had never heard of such a movie website in the United States. "What do they mainly do?"

"Oh, they're like ImbD, but the professionalism is a little worse. They just ask netizens to vote on the movies being screened, and make predictions and discussions about the movies being screened." Green explained to Ike.

Ike frowned slightly, and then asked Green. "What's this about us?"

"Haha." Green sat down and continued, "This website has a forum discussion area. They will give some movie themes for netizens to discuss, and also invite some professional film critics to make annotations. More importantly, this website will recommend several upcoming movies every week, which are like movie guides."

Ike nodded in contemplation and then said, "What do you mean is they are willing to recommend our "Rose Boy's Dream" to netizens?"

"That's right!" Green replied affirmatively.

"Why?" Ike was a little puzzled because they had never dealt with this website.

Hearing Ike's question, Green shrugged and shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about the specific reason. Their people said that after seeing our promotion of this movie, they thought the theme was good and might be a more controversial topic."

Ike shook his head. "This is unlikely. There are many controversial movie subjects. Why just look for this one? Oh, are there any conditions? I mean, their website recommends our movie?"

"Oh, the conditions are simple. You must know that their website was founded for a short time, and the number of clicks and visits was not very high, but it was much better than the web page we made. They only required that the sponsors put their website's name and logo in the movie when the movie was screened." Green told Ike.

At this time, Ike was in the middle of thinking. An unknown small website promoted "Rose Boy's Dream", and the effect was definitely not strong, but... it was better than nothing.

"Who is the person contacting you?" After a moment of silence, Ike raised his head and asked.

"Well... this person is the founder of the website. He is actually just a movie fan, named Sen Du Ang." Green said.

"Sen Du'ang?" Ike said to himself.

Seeing Ike's hesitation, Green smiled, and he walked over and patted his shoulder. "I said, man, this is also an opportunity. Although the effect may not be very good, you should know that it is not enough for us to get recommendations from a professional movie website without spending a penny? All we have to do is give them the first advertisement."

"Haha." Ike smiled, "You are right, this should be considered as recommendations from both companies."

"Haha." Green laughed, too. "This is called third-rate push third-rate. Who knows what effect will be?"

Ike nodded and then asked, “Are you sure the name of this website is ‘I Love Hollywood’?”

"Of course, I have their boss's business card. Look!"
Chapter completed!
