Compared to those big productions that take several years to shoot and post, the production cycle of the witch is undoubtedly very short. But like other B-level horror movies, this movie took a long time, and it took more than a month from writing the script to finishing the filming.
Laila was in a hurry to release it, not just because she wanted to make a blockbuster on Halloween, but also because she was afraid of the man named Cooper. She doesn't know exactly what happened before, only knows that this person will not give up grievances with the company, and his revenge is likely to begin with this movie.
Much of the success of 'the Blaire witch' lies in its marketing methods and the gimmicks of the first DV film in history. Once these two points are exposed in advance, it will definitely be a considerable blow to the film. It's like a magician performing a very powerful magic. If you know in advance how that magic is done, how many people will be willing to watch it again?
The same is true for witches. Once it is revealed that the missing person notice in the Entertainer's newspaper is a scam from the beginning, an "advertising" made to attract people to watch a movie, then how many viewers are willing to enter the cinema? It is estimated that most people will feel fooled because they have been deceived.
So before the film started, Laila asked Louise to use the company's distribution department to contact the theater. It's a pity that the company's previous works really didn't have any good results, and the owners of the theaters didn't have much confidence in them, which resulted in the results of only a dozen theaters in such a long time.
Think about it, a company that only produces B-level movies. The last movie that was released was a few years ago, and the box office was bleak. How many cinema owners can continue to favor this company? Not to mention that the once talented boss has passed away, replaced by a young girl who has just grown up!
Laila believes that those who shook their heads and rejected Louise must be thinking in their hearts, the little girl who has not yet grown full of hair still wants to be a director? Please! This is Hollywood! It is not a place where you can succeed with a few money!
If you are willing to pay for it, the problem is that she didn't even pay for the film this time, so she recruited the audience into the cinema with those dizzying movies? It is better to dress up beautifully to enter and exit high-end cocktail parties and fashion conferences, and become a competent socialite!
"Okay, I will try my best to find it." Louise sighed secretly, but she could only bite the bullet and answer. I hope to see her face, can let some old folks relax.
After Louise went out, Laila was left alone in the office again. She thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Anthony, the plan can be implemented, let's do it!"
"It's ready, you will see what you want to see." Anthony said confidently.
Laila smiled slightly "I am looking forward to it." It
was finally time for the last fight, put down the phone, and put her hands on the table. The Blaire witch has been sent to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) rating, G-level, PG-level. She does not have any extravagant expectations. She only hopes to get PG-13 (Special Tutoring Level) so that more people can enter the cinema without hindrance.
She is well aware of the potential of this movie, and she also understands that young people will be the biggest contributor to this movie's box office. Let her see if they can contribute the power that shocks the whole world like in the previous life!
The result of the review was quickly sent over, and, as expected by Laila, it was put on the PG-13 column. Maybe it was because there was not much blood plasma and foul language. If she was classified as R grade or NG-17, then she would cry.
October 31st is Halloween. Now Hollywood doesn't care much about this time. It can't compare with summer and Christmas files. At the same time, the screens are basically small films. There is no big production, but Laila feels that she does not need to pay attention to it, after all, the subject matter is different.
When they were actively arranging copies and sending them to various theaters, the outside world had already almost turned uproar due to the further discovery of the disappearance.
The latest news still comes from "Entertainer" News. According to their follow-up report, when a professor of anthropology at the University of Maryland took his students to study the forest where the disappearance occurred, he found a large travel bag in an old wooden house.
They delivered the things to the police, who were identified by their families as belonging to one of the three missing students. The discovery of this incident made some people who speculated that the missing person was not missing in the woods here honestly shut their mouths.
It's just that the next development stunned countless people, because in the travel bag, the police found what was photographed by the missing person.
After the family of the missing person took the things away, they found amazing information and incredible fragments on it. They asked the police for help, only to get an answer that "that was a fake by the students", and they didn't think the footage was real.
The family members became angry, accused the police of inaction, and demanded that they immediately send someone to search and rescue the children.
Readers who saw the news were also curious about what kind of images were left that would make the police think it was a fake, while the parents think it was in danger? Someone and the media asked the police, but the information available was that no disappearance had ever happened.
People who want to know the truth eagerly did not believe the understatement of the answer and began to pay more attention to the dedicated website, and the website did not disappoint, releasing more shocking "good news", such as some allegedly from family members Video clips circulating in the hands.
Seeing those weeping and screaming scenes, panicking thoughts kept circulating in my mind-are there really witches? Are the three missing students really killed by the witch?
But the website did not give an accurate answer, maybe even they don't know it.
So not satisfied with that little understanding, and those who were frightened began to criticize the police, accusing them of deliberately concealing the facts and preventing the public from knowing the real situation. Some conspiracy theorists have even begun to publish remarks, saying that the reason why certain places are reluctant to admit this is because they are controlled by witches!
"Laila, are we going too far?" Louise saw on TV the people gathered in front of the police station who wanted to find the real answer, feeling like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
Laila put her cheek in one hand, tilted her head and asked her with a smile "What did we do?"
"Of course it was in the newspapers. Missing notices or something, I always think things get worse."
"Does it matter? "Lila pulled out an entertainer's newspaper from the side, it was the one with the missing person notice "Look where it was published?"
Louise looked down the place where she was pointing, two His eyes widened suddenly "Entertainment version..."
"Do you have any questions now?"
"..." What questions can Louise have. Obviously the little boss already knew what she was doing from the beginning. The entertainment version is not a place to tell the facts, otherwise, what about the lace news of those stars?
Is my little boss really only 18 years old? If there are any questions, this will be the only question she has.
