Chapter 212

"This used to be a tribe of Indians, and it is said that Malibu's name originated from the Indian language at the first time."

as she walked slowly along the path full of palm trees towards the hotel, Lisa Hewitt was very conscious, and deliberately fell behind. Murphy and Gail gado in sports clothes talked about the city at her feet as they walked, "in Indian language, Malibu is the most beautiful city in the world It's a noisy beach. ["

with both hands in the pockets of his sports jacket, Gail gado slowly moved his long straight legs and followed Murphy calmly." indeed, sometimes I can hear the sound of the waves, especially in the quiet of the night. The waves here are very special. "

"This may have something to do with Malibu's geographical location," Murphy pointed to the mountain on the left. "Malibu's back is against the Santa Monica Mountains and faces the vast Pacific Ocean. I think this may be caused by the lapping sound of the waves being pulled back by the mountains, which also makes Malibu's waves and beaches world famous."

"You know a lot," said Gail gado with a twinkle in his eyes. "I've done a lot of homework before I came here"

Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Gail, if you want to pursue an excellent girl like you, how can you not do enough preparatory work"

Gail gado turned to look at Murphy, but took the initiative to turn away from the topic, "I heard that in Malibu There are a lot of Hollywood celebrities living here "

" in the past, Malibu was a city occupied by wealthy elderly hippies in a low-key way, "Murphy said, following galgado's topic." since the mid-1990s, there have been more movie stars, directors and producers living here than Beverly Hills. "

He pointed around, "this city has no noise of Santa Monica, no luxury of Manhattan, no charm of Beverly Hills, but there are wild and free, and there are seagulls, wild ducks and egrets everywhere."

Hearing these words, Gail gado laughs, "are all the directors as eloquent as you '

" almost, "Murphy also laughs," eloquence, in order to get investment for their own projects, to face the media reporters and paparazzi, not stage fright "

the distance between the restaurant and the hotel is not far, then gradually close to the hotel, Murphy suddenly Asked, "Gail, you should have a rest at the weekend"

Gail gado thought about it and nodded. From the first contact to now, she has been very happy with Murphy, and she has no aversion to this person.

Walking to the side door of the hotel, Murphy stops, turns to look at galgado, and asks, "this weekend, my new film will hold a media and film critic audition. Are you interested in going to see it"

"city of sin" sees Murphy nodding, galgado thinks about it for a while, and says, "watch the time."

Murphy put a note into her hand and gestured, "here's my number. I'll wait for your call."

Lisa Hewitt caught up with Murphy. She should have heard Murphy's invitation and asked, "can I see it?"

"of course." Murphy gave a positive answer, "a warm welcome."

Gail gado gave Lisa a little bit and said, "it's time we went back."

"Well," Murphy nodded, "goodbye."

"Goodbye." Two girls waved to him.

Back at the hotel, the rose in the lobby is gone. When passing by the front desk, a waiter brings a card with the name of the person who sent the flowers. Gail gado just takes a look and throws it into the dustbin before she gets on the elevator. Murphy gives her a note, which she holds tightly in her hand all the time.

Come to the floor, Lisa did not go back, but followed Gail gado into the room.

Galgado closed the door, sat on the sand, looked at the number on the note, and his eyes began to wander.

"Shall we go?" Lisa came and sat next to her. "I haven't been to a movie show yet"

"it's an audition." Gail gado can tell the difference. "It's not a movie that makes you stand out."

"That's not bad." Lisa seems to be looking forward to it. "Maybe she can meet some Hollywood celebrities. Go, go. "

Gail gado turned to her and said, "did he buy you off when I went to the bathroom"

"no, absolutely not." Lisa raised her hand and looked innocent. "I just feel sorry"

"what's the pity?" Gail gado shook his head and said again, "after the game, I want to go back to Israel."

Lisa sighed and asked, "are you going this weekend? If not, I'll go by myself."

He opened the note in his hand and looked at it again. Galgado was still hesitant. After a while, he said, "go, why don't you go?"

Think of it as going to a movie.

Like all the upcoming films, the city of sin will hold a trial screening meeting before it officially enters the North American cinema. The participants in the trial screening meeting are mainly relevant media reporters, film critics, representatives of the cinema and a very small number of audiences.

This is Hollywood's convention. Generally speaking, as long as the film is not too bad, it can get a good reputation in the trial run, which can let the industry continue to build momentum for the film.If the film is too bad, it is difficult to avoid bad reviews. Although bad reviews will definitely affect the box office after the release, they are not entirely bad. The producers and the industry can also improve the film in time according to the public praise of the trial, so as to avoid the complete failure of the film.

Of course, word-of-mouth is only the reaction of a small group of people, which may not represent a wider audience. In the history of North American screening, there are absolutely not a few films with high word-of-mouth and high box office. The films with poor word-of-mouth but high box office sales can not be counted with two hands.

In a word, word-of-mouth is just a reference data like a wind vane.

If the quality of the film is guaranteed, it is Miramax's promotion and marketing of sin city that can really determine the box office number after the release.

For such a film, the North American publicity and marketing expenses of 15 million US dollars are quite sufficient. After making use of multiple channels to create topics, Miramax once again aimed at the director Murphy.

The reason is very simple. The chainsaw ended all the overseas shows where the copyrights were sold, and the overseas box office also broke through the $60 million mark. In this way, the global box office figure of the film also successfully passed the $100 million mark, and Murphy also entered the global box office Club of $100 million.

More than 90% of Hollywood directors can't cross this barrier in their whole lives.

This has also become the capital Miramax can use to promote.

In addition, although the overseas screening of terrorist planet has not ended, it has also won nearly 50 million US dollars at the box office. The global box office of this film has exceeded 80 million US dollars, and the market performance is also excellent.

As a result, the latest masterpiece by Murphy Stanton, director of chainsaw and planet of terror, has also appeared on the latest poster of sin city.

Anyway, after directing three films in a row, Murphy also has his own influence, especially in a part of the cu1t fan group, which is quite popular.

These fans, like the cartoon fans of sin city, are the basic audience of the film.

Now in this era, the way of film publicity is more diversified, especially the rise of the Internet, which has made important changes in the film marketing.

Miramax's propaganda of the city of crime certainly can not ignore the important position of the Internet.

In addition to traditional Internet publicity such as online news, videos, materials and posts, Miramax also launched a crime city map game with a game company. The game was officially launched before the film audition, warming up the market for subsequent screenings.

This is an interactive map game which is unprecedented powerful and easy to operate. Through this map game, players can reach every corner of the crime city, and even further observe the people and things that live in these places. Here, they can see the whole structure of the crime city, as well as many complicated relationships between the characters.

Through the map of sin city, the audience can get to those places full of temptation and sin, including Nancy's apartment, Sin City Hospital, Gail's residence, Sin City prison, Mimi Hotel, motel, wharf, farm, rock's castle, old town, Cady bar, tar pit, Shelley's home and other scenes involved in the film.

When players enter these places, they can not only see all the things born here, but also see the people who have been here through the system, and understand their stories and the people and things related to them through these people.

For example, players try to go to a corner of the city of sin. When they come to the "Cady bar", they can see all the things born here and learn about the people who have been here all the year round.

If you want to know about muffle's birth in the bar, you can click his avatar, and then the player can see the introduction of muffle. After the introduction, the player can enter a new menu, and continue to observe all the characters involved in the event in the selection bar at the top of the screen, or view other things born in muffle.

By analogy, all the places, events and characters of sin city can be linked in this way. The whole link content never ends, and there are almost thousands of combinations. It's up to the players to decide where to play and how to play.

The launch of this highly interactive map game also declares that the pre screening publicity of sin city has entered a new stage.

The focus of this stage, as well as the audition, is that Miramax has assembled a large number of journalists and well-known film critics. It's not finished yet. 8
