On the way to the cafe, Shao Shuaijun and Mitchell talked: "How are you going to promote it?"
Mitchell looked at his hairstyle in the rearview mirror of the car. He is a person who pays great attention to image: "What we mean is to adopt viral marketing and spread it through the Internet to arouse the curiosity of the audience. You can start now,
We will distribute some T-shirts with the 'Dream Inception' pattern printed on them at comic exhibitions, print a QR code on the back, and hide the built website address in the QR code."
"Will they scan the QR code and find the website? Even if they find it, it will only be a small number of people, right?" Shao Shuaijun asked incredulously.
"Don't underestimate us comic-loving otakus in the United States, how interested we are in this kind of thing, and how high the spread rate is. We will also distribute some small spinning tops and USB flash drives, and we will also hide secrets to attract their attention.
The power is transferred to the website. This website is the first lock. We design an instruction manual for 'Dream Inception' and then place some clues and tasks. As long as these tasks are completed, you can jump to another website."
"Another website?"
"Yes, the first Dream Inception website is mainly used to illustrate the possibility of dream inception. Then the second website, we can call it 'consciousness crime'. There is also a third website, we can call it
"What is dream sharing?" It is hidden on posters on the street, and then it mainly introduces the origin and theoretical basis of dream stealing, trying to uncover the conspiracy of "dream stealing", and finally jumps to the "consciousness crime" website."
Mitchell is very proud of his design: "The Conscious Crime website will be our main publicity venue. We can release some posters, trailers, etc. at each stage. If we want to be the first to see these contents, we must first complete some
Small tasks such as the maze mini-game attract everyone’s interest.”
"It's a good way to promote the movie, but I want to emphasize that it needs to be well controlled. I don't want to reveal the content of the movie too early and make people lose interest in watching the movie, and I don't want to talk about it in a foggy way and make people lose interest in watching the movie.
They were confused and gave up." Shao Shuaijun thought for a while, "We can emphasize that 'your brain is the crime scene' and 'dreams are real'. We can also find some experts who study dreams to elaborate on these arguments and create a
There is a feeling that this is not an illusory movie, but a real scientific documentary!"
Mitchell added: "These alone are not attractive. We'd better do something big once or twice. For example, design a huge poster to hang on the building in Los Angeles. Design the poster to be more mysterious, for example, it looks like the building is distorted.
, and it’s like the building turned into a waterfall, etc.”
"It's very creative. Mitchell, if you don't do marketing, you are simply underestimating your talent."
After chatting about advertising, we soon arrived at a coffee shop in Hollywood. After entering, Shao Shuaijun and Mitchell ordered two cups of coffee and waited. After a while, the people waiting for them arrived.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bruce, there's a traffic jam on the road." The man who came was handsome and graceful. He was the popular Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
"It's okay, we just arrived." Mitchell introduced, "Shao, this is Leonardo, who played Jack in "Titanic". Leonardo, this is the actor in "Inception"
Director Shao Shuaijun.”
"Hello."
"Hello."
After introducing each other and ordering coffee, Shao Shuaijun went straight to the point: "Leonardo, I couldn't explain the script clearly on the phone before. Now I've brought the script. You can take a look first. I invite you sincerely.
Joining the cast of "Inception" as the male lead Dom Cobb, this will be a unique movie."
While Leonardo was reading the script, Shao Shuaijun couldn't help but look at the "Jack" who had fascinated thousands of girls back then. Leonardo became famous at a young age. In 1997, he starred as Jack, the leading actor in the epic romance film "Titanic".
His image became popular all over the world and he became a Hollywood star.
Last year, he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond", becoming an actor with both acting skills and idolatry. The original "Inception" was starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
It was so brilliant that Shao Shuaijun didn't even consider letting anyone else play the role and directly locked in him.
For this, Shao Shuaijun paid a remuneration of 20 million U.S. dollars, which is Leonardo's current net worth. In the original version, Leonardo got a share of the box office, and the final remuneration exceeded 50 million U.S. dollars. You know "Inception"
It was so popular that Shao Shuaijun never thought of using his share of the film to pay for the film.
Leonardo read it very carefully, occasionally turning to the front to continue searching for the previous text. It took a full hour, Shao Shuaijun drank three times the coffee and went to the toilet, and Leonardo finally closed the script.
"how?"
Leonardo praised: "The script is so wonderfully conceived. Although I haven't fully figured out whether it is a four-story dream or a six-story dream, I must admit that I was moved. Director, I am willing to join the crew. Specific details
Just discuss the details with my agent!”
"Don't worry, we have prepared a salary worthy of your worth, US$20 million for you."
"Can I keep this script?"
"After signing this confidentiality agreement, the script will be handed over to you. You can familiarize yourself with it first. We may start filming in a week."
"OK."
After seeing off Leonardo, Shao Shuaijun smiled and said to Mitchell: "With Leonardo joining, the movie is at least half a success. Hollywood knows that he won't accept a movie if he has a good script. Let's go and contact him."
One person."
The next person is none other than Jake Gyllenhaal. After the failure of the IMAX blockbuster "Nighthawks" with Shao Shuaijun, Jack was also criticized, which made Shao Shuaijun feel sorry for him. Jack has acting skills, but he doesn't stand up.
blockbusters, which greatly reduced his commercial value.
Fortunately, Jack is not the kind of person who likes to complain. After "The Night Watcher" was messed up, he and Shao Shuaijun still had contact, and they often comforted each other.
When I met Jack, I was at the home of Jack's sister Maggie Gyllenhaal. Jack was born in an acting family, his father is a TV drama director, his mother is a playwright, and his sister is also a Hollywood actor. Of course, compared to the delicate and handsome Ji
Lencier, his sister looks average.
"Hi Jack, nice to see you again."
"Me too, Shao, and Mr. Bruce."
While eating the pancakes made by Maggie, Shao Shuaijun stated his purpose: "Jack, it's like this, my new movie "Inception" has been approved, and we have invited Leonardo to star. I hope you can accept it.
The other protagonist in the movie is Fisher. Believe me, Jack, this movie will be very exciting. You will understand after reading the script. I sincerely invite you."
Since Jack's debut, he has usually been the protagonist or dual protagonists. Shao Shuaijun is not sure whether he will play a secondary role. However, he is still very optimistic about Jack. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
