The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 84: , Movie promotion depends on public opinion

   Regarding the thank you call from Brown and the sales results on the first day of the new book, Alice only learned about it when she took the initiative to talk to her home. As for her, she is in the small city of Huron in central California at this time. It is the first film of DreamWorks, and she is shooting "Ghost Record" completely at her own expense.

   "Jack, you have to hold on. The whole movie depends on you carrying such a big video camera to play selfies. You can't eat more hamburgers."

   "Don't worry, BOSS, I'm the football captain of the school. What a camera is worth, I have carried three cheerleaders at the same time!"

   Green lawns, white stone road floors, and a secluded street in Huron, houses one after another spreading from one end to the other. More than a dozen young people are living in front of one of the houses. Careful people will carefully collect the latest newspapers and find that this is the house where the bodies of three high school students were found.

   As the filming site of "Ghost Record", a young man of 25 or 6 years old was waving his arms at the door and chatting loudly with other students. He is the newcomer to the actor in this movie, and the football captain of the UCLA doctoral student. He is strong and powerful, which is in line with the script adapted by Alice.

   After all, the actor needs to be able to take a selfie with a camera in a reasonable way!

   This is not the era when DV cameras have already been available. The weight of the camera is also quite expensive, and the original plot must be modified.

   "Actually, it seems that the protagonist Mick is really an idiot."

As the deputy director, David looked at the house with his arms folded, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that at the beginning of the movie, the whole audience should say, why this idiot should carry a camera to take selfies, he doesn't bother. Tired?"

   "Yes, yeah, spitting is definitely necessary."

Alice followed with a smile and said: "Even if we rationalize the plot, the audience will not bypass the protagonist. So, let's just shoot Mick to death and make a stupid stupid, and the more stupid the better Well, the audience will love it."

   "So, Alice, why do I always feel that the atmosphere is a bit wrong?"

   David touched his chin and said, "Although your script is really well written, it is indeed an excellent thriller movie, but listening to your analysis all the time, I always feel that we are making a...comic film."

   Alice touched her nose, there was nothing to say now. There is no way, I have really developed this habit, the Internet is so developed in later generations, no movie should be smashed by the audience. Especially like those horror movies and ghost horror movies, netizens certainly do their best to make them humorous.

   So, as to whether this movie is a thriller or a comedy, in fact, Alice is not sure about it. After all, this is the first time she reverses a movie as a script. As the saying goes, everyone has the first time, long live the understanding.

  The shooting location is the scene of the crime. There is no doubt that it has been a while since the bodies of three high school students were found to the joint crew of UCLA& DreamWorks. During this period, the police had collected all possible clues, otherwise they would not have a chance to come.

  Of course, Alice is very good at disassociating herself. At that time, she personally went to the Men's Los Angeles Police Station and told Sergey, who had been her bodyguard, her plan.

   "Uncle~ I heard that the three bad boys who beat my brother are hanging there. After a while, I want to go to the crime scene to make a movie and enjoy it, can you watch it~"

   With this kind of preemptive rhetoric, although the police will definitely be quite big, they certainly won’t be suspicious of themselves~

   After all, those three high school students...cough cough.

   The entire movie is less than a hundred minutes long. Most of the plot only takes place inside the house. It is just a couple’s daily self-portraits, plus the incompetent priest and the heroine’s girlfriends. Within a week, the plot of the whole film was more than 80% fixed, and Alice calculated it, even if it included the editing after finishing, it would be completed in two weeks.

   Well, it's a match for the filming cycle of "Chain Saw".

   So the old saying goes, in order to accumulate funds for myself to open up the mainland clothing market, and in order to make this movie achieve a huge box office, DreamWorks did not spend less on publicity. Mr. Grant relied on deposits, loans, and loans to raise a total of 12 million U.S. dollars. Then, relying on the channels he has accumulated over the years, he began the production of public opinion.

   In fact, this whole propaganda plan was written by Alice herself, and it had already begun before the filming started.

   At noon of the day, when the sun illuminates the sky vertically.

   "Ahie!"

As an otaku, Harry, who is not a geek, walked out of the house, walked out of the "geek house" full of the smell of instant noodles, undershirts, and stinky feet, and came to New York in the cold wind In the corridors of a high-rise apartment building on a humble street in Queens. Then, because of the freezing weather and his special physical fitness as an otaku, he sneezed without any suspense.

   "Unlucky, sneezing as soon as I got up, really unlucky!"

Rubbing his dark circles under his eyes, rubbing his thatch hair, and stepping on slippers, Harry walked with his head down, and easily came to the elevator, then followed the creaking elevator to the ground, and then lowered. Headed out of the apartment building in a daze, while staring straight at the ground, he walked dexterously into the street.

   Then, he raised his head blankly.

   "Uh...Where is the newsstand?"

   Collecting news has been Harry's habit for many years, but after struggling to find a newsstand location, he was frustrated to find that newspapers such as The New York Times and This Morning Spotlight had disappeared.

   "I said Tom, you always have a lot of stocks here. How can an important newspaper such as "Current Events Observation" be out of stock!?"

Tom is a little old man wearing a blue striped checkered shirt and an American flag pattern baseball cap. He is holding a retro pipe in his mouth and said impatiently, "Smelly boy, don't you see when it is now? I am the only newsstand in the whole street anyway, are you questioning my income!?"

   Harry didn't dare to quarrel with the old man. After all, he actually lived upstairs, and he didn't look up. How could he easily offend him?

   Of course, he would not admit that he was afraid of the shotgun on the wall of Tom's restaurant that was always loaded with live ammunition.

   "No, nothing, nothing you usually watched is gone, just a "Hunting and Surprise", I think you kid can buy a copy in about a month, so let's just use this!"

   Harry was a little dissatisfied when he saw the cover of the newspaper. Although "Curious Hunting" has a lot of sales, it can be regarded as a well-known paper media among tabloids, and the sales volume in New York alone can reach tens of thousands, but Harry usually sees it as an amateur pastime. Now, the serious "Washington Post" hasn't read anything, just look at pastimes first. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?

"...What kind of eyes, just your panda eyes, do you think you are scary? Oh, yes, I'm afraid you don't know what a panda is? Little ghost, go to the zoo more than anything else... bought it? Oh, bought it Just go, get out!"

   Harry swears that he doesn't quarrel with the old man, just because he forgot to drink coffee and loses his energy, shotgun or something, it's not the reason!

Even in New York in November, the sun at noon was scorching enough. Harry looked dissatisfiedly at the surrounding sunny sky and land, found the corner of the cafe, and opened the newspaper. Version.

   Then, his eyes couldn't move away in an instant.

"...The stalemate up to now, the police are still helpless about the murder of Huron's high school student ~www.readwn.com~ can not find any effective clues. After many investigations, the reporter of this newspaper believes that it is more than the clues of the case itself. It seems more useful to pay attention to the crime scene."

"Huron is not large in size, but its history of establishment can be traced back to the beginning of this century, and the street where the crime was found has a history of more than 50 years. According to a survey conducted by reporters, it was found that in the past 50 years Here, 11 Walker Street has been resold 95 times, the most recent resale occurred three years ago. That is to say, this kind of house will welcome a new family every two quarters on average."

"What is the reason? An ordinary residential household must move every quarter on average, and a residential house must be replaced every two quarters? Why, the recent batch of households can persist for three years. Go? Why, the current family only has a mother with mobility impairment and dementia living here, and the buyers have not come to visit their relatives in the past six months?"

"The reporters of this newspaper will inevitably have a lot of suspicion, and they will inevitably move closer to supernatural incidents. It stands to reason that compared to the East Coast’s two or three hundred years of history, the West Coast should not be a place where ghosts and ghosts haunt, but it is just human subjectivity. Imagine, at most, it is only reflected in the movie as a setting. If this type of event does happen, presumably ghosts will not care about historical factors, right?"

"The three high school students who were exposed to disappearing in May were found at the end of October, but the death date was about three months after the autopsy, and the coroner found no traces of formalin. The neck with tearing wounds is not a beast. As a result, the total blood loss exceeded 80%...
