Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Hi, dear viewers, good evening, everyone. I'm your old friend, Winstanton!"

The talk show "I Am a Celebrity" is one of UPN's trump card programs. After the acquisition and integration of the WB TV network, the program was moved to the WB TV network as a whole. After all, it is a public TV network with many natural advantages.

Win Stanton, a wise and humorous white fat man, is one of the main hosts of Jin Shuguang TV Group.

"I am a celebrity" program, Zucker also appeared on stage.

"The audience in front of the TV, the audience at the scene, compared to everyone recently, there are many people who have seen a DV video called "Blair Witch" in the theater." Weinstanton said.

The voice fell, and many people nodded immediately.

No way, who made "Blair Witch" so popular recently!

There are many high-box-office movies in Hollywood every year, but not any movie can easily achieve a good result of over 100 million at the North American box office.

"Everyone, today we will reveal the DV video of "Blair Witch", which is very popular in the United States!" Weinstanton increased his tone.

Reveal?

Immediately, many people present showed expressions of interest.

Of course, many people find it strange.

"Isn't 'I Am a Celebrity' a talk show? How can it be changed to a revealing show?" a young woman wondered.

"I also find it strange." A woman next to her agreed.

Winstanton said loudly: "Next, let's invite Mr. Daniel Merrick and Mr. Eduardo Sanchez to make their debut~"

Hundreds of audience members at the scene, although a little unclear, still applauded.

In this warm applause, the 37-year-old Daniel Merrick and the 31-year-old Adeyado Sanchez came to the stage.

The host, Win Stanton, shook hands with them respectively.

The two took their seats on the stage at Weinstanton's gesture.

Winstanton looked at the audience,

Said: "Everyone must be very confused, what is the origin of these two people? What reasons and qualifications do they have to appear on the "I Am A Celebrity" show? Then, I will tell you next, the two of them are the same as "Witch Blair". A DV video, there is an inseparable relationship."

After a pause, he added: "In other words, without Daniel and Adeyado, there would be no DV video of Blair Witch."

wow~~~

One stone creates a thousand waves!

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar from many people at the scene.

"Daniel, Ed Yardo, they are the directors of the DV video of "Blair Witch"!"

Immediately, the entire audience at the scene focused their attention on Daniel and Adeyado.

At the same time, even Kevin Feige, who was in the backstage of the "I'm a Celebrity" show, was staring at the stage closely at the moment.

"As long as they admit it, then they are the scapegoat." Kevin Feige thought to himself.

"That's right!"

Daniel McCrone said: "The DV movie "Blair Witch" was officially completed by me and my good partner Ed Yardo."

Eduardo also nodded heavily.

For a time, the entire scene fell into a strangely quiet state.

"Blair Witch", it turned out to be a movie? !

A film made by people, not top secret files or real cases.

Many people are confused.

Especially when some people paid to watch "Blair Witch" in theaters, their mood at the moment is quite complicated, even a little angry.

"In other words, I was deceived?" a blond boy murmured.

Although many people at the scene were outraged, the host, Winstanton, managed to control the scene very well, suppressing all the noisy sounds at the scene.

In the following time, Weinstanton launched a series of questions about "Blair Witch".

Directors Daniel and Ed Yardo vividly tell the story behind the film...

"It's not a real case, it's just a movie!"

"Everything comes from the ideas of our genius!"

"Don't you think such a plan is great?"

"As we all know, a movie needs a lot of money to write the script, then sell the script, complete the shooting, and then release it. But you look at "Blair Witch", its production cost is only 60,000 US dollars! "

"We don't have a huge financial budget, no stars, and no superb special effects. At the beginning of the DV revolution, we successfully told everyone how a movie without a high budget was shot!"

...

In fact, "Blair Witch" is by no means all deceit.

Its success has indeed inspired many young directors later, as long as you have an idea, as long as you have a poor DV camera, you can make movies!

Anyone can be a director and shoot what they love!

The term "pseudo-documentary" has also successfully appeared in front of everyone.

The pseudo-documentary created by "Blair Witch" has successfully set off a wave all over the world. Movies such as the "Smart Death Video" series and "The Ninth District" were all influenced by the film.

......

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.

Zucker finished watching the recording of the "Blair Witch" episode of "I Am Celebrity".

"Boss, the two directors Daniel did a great job." Alexander laughed.

"That's right."

Zucker nodded and said, "You inform Old Bill and let the sailors work hard. At least before the broadcast of "I Am a Celebrity", the reputation of "Blair Witch" on the Internet should not collapse too soon."

"Yes, boss." Alexander responded.

The idea of ​​Zhu Ke and others is very simple. Before the reputation of the movie collapses in a large area, maintain the popularity and earn more box office.

If the word of mouth really can't hold back, that's fine.

Immediately broadcast this episode of "I'm a Celebrity", when the audience's anger of being deceived will be passed on to the director.

Well, Wald Pictures is still the innocent Wald Pictures!

Is classmate Zhu Ke ruthless?

No denying, one point.

He successfully passed on the anger of the audience and made money by covering his head.

The fraudulent and viral propaganda plan undoubtedly overdrafted the character and credit of the two directors, and it was an act of killing the chicken to get the egg.

Look, is this what people do?

However, it wasn't all bad for both Daniel and Adeardo.

They also have benefits!

famous!

Get famous!

With a production cost of $60,000, the filmed "Blair Witch" earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the North American box office. Such a high profit ratio can be called appalling. For this alone, the two of them will surely leave a mark in film history. Moreover, it is bound to become the object that many Hollywood companies are vying for.

Hollywood chases winners and only asks about the results, not the process.

In the marketing of "Blair Witch", Wald Pictures successfully shied away from the culprit and made a profit; and Daniel, who was also sought after by Hollywood, successfully entered this Vanity Fair;

Overall, this is a win-win option.

Daniel and the two, are they really fools, and do they really know nothing about the purpose of Wald Pictures?

Do not!

They are pretending to be confused!

Overdraft your reputation and credit in exchange for the opportunity to become famous overnight.

Zhu Ke did not treat them badly either, one person gave a big red envelope, and the three leading actors also benefited.

Well, the dumping was successful!

really......

When the "Blair Witch" incident was exposed, the entire United States was in an uproar.

"It turned out to be just marketing?!"

A moviegoer looked at the newspaper in his hand and exclaimed, "My God! Can a movie with a box office of over 100 million dollars be made for 60,000 dollars?!"

Countless people were stunned!

However, there are also a considerable proportion of moviegoers who are furious!

"Am I a big fool?"

"I was deceived!"

"A $60,000 movie can earn over 100 million dollars at the box office through marketing. What does it have?"

" "The first more sent.
