Legendary Pictures, in the meeting room.
Xuan, Breno the appraiser, Dan the distribution manager, and Joe Drake the president of Legendary Pictures looked at each other.
Xuan's expression was firm, his brows slightly furrowed.
"No, since I can't see your company's sincerity, I can choose not to cooperate.”
"Hey, Mr. Chu, wait!”Manager Dan En was a little anxious.
"Chu, let's talk."
The CEO, Joe Drake, who had a full beard and looked like a Judas, also acted as a retainer.
Xuan paused and sighed. He returned to his seat and sat down with his arms crossed.
"I'm all ears."
After watching Paranormal Activity, both of them were very interested.
However, a pseudo-documentary film was a pioneer.
No one dared to take the risk and spread it out.
If the movie flopped, even if Director Xuan didn't lose anything, Legendary Pictures would suffer a huge loss.
Their channels and theater resources were limited, and Paranormal Activity's release would definitely squeeze out the schedule of other movies.
If the reputation was not good, it would ruin the company's reputation.
This forced them to be cautious.
Especially President Joe Drake!
She had heard that the director was an Asian young man in his early twenties.
The filming method of the movie was very strange.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse to cooperate.
But Breno and Dan, who had seen the film, both highly recommended it.
" A groundbreaking film format."
"Maybe it will go down in the history of movies."
"If it succeeds, we'll definitely earn at least 50 million USD at the box office!”
The last sentence moved the CEO.
As long as he could earn 30 million USD, he would definitely not lose out.
After all, the market was a little bleak now. The other film sources in his hands could barely sell for 30 million.
Of course, it couldn't be released all at once. It was too risky to release it in thousands of cinemas at the same time.
After hesitating for a while, CEO Joe Drake gritted his teeth and made the decision. He decided to screen it on a small scale first!
If the reputation and box office sales were good, then he would consider expanding the scale in the United States.
"So, how about 100 cinemas first?”
"Our Legend will also cover the marketing expenses this time. How about it?”
Xuan originally thought that it would only increase to ten or so.
He did not expect the other party to increase the number of views to 100 in one go.
This meant that it wasn't limited to Luo Shengdu or California.
Instead, it was screened in major cities across the United States.
With this level of publicity, Xuan was confident that it would become a hit.
"No problem, gentlemen. You won't regret it.”
The three people from Legendary Pictures looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
The other party was clearly a 20-year-old kid, so why did he give off such an oppressive feeling?
"Oh right, Chu. 500,000 USD is a little low. Do you have any good publicity plans?”
Joe Drake probed.
He always felt that Xuan had something to rely on and definitely had a mature plan to promote the film.
Otherwise, he would not be sitting in front of him so calmly.
Sure enough, Xuan nodded and only said two words.
"Social media.”
"Tell me in detail?" The CEO's heart skipped a beat as if he had an epiphany.
In his previous life, he was already very familiar with Paranormal Activity's promotional tactics.
Moreover, many people were imitating this method of advertising.
As a result, when they saw similar methods later on, everyone was used to it.
Xuan naturally had the confidence to scare these people. He picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip, speaking with assurance.
"We can make up a story and not use this film as a movie promotion, but as a real event promotion.”
"Right next to everyone, there are two young people whose new home is haunted.”
"When the police arrived, Maica was dead and his girlfriend, Katie, was missing. There was only one DV found at the scene, and the top secret images recorded in it even drove a police officer crazy…"
"When they hear this news, they will spread it even without our help.”
" Then, we will announce that Legendary Pictures accidentally obtained the source of the film. In order to prevent an accident from happening again, we will now release the real image to the public.”
"Think about it carefully. When the time comes, will they go to the cinema to investigate?”
These film companies had been passed down from the last century. Whether it was their publicity methods or ideas, they were all old-fashioned.
Even if they used the internet to promote themselves, they would only advertise on different online platforms.
They didn't, or disdained, to use some " unorthodox methods " to promote the movie.
CEO Joe Drake's eyes lit up when he heard Xuan's description.
Not only was he an outstanding director, but he also knew how to do marketing?
Joe Drake was completely moved.
"May I ask Mr. Chu, how much do you plan to quote for this film? Buyout system, or... emmmm, a share?”
Hearing this, Xuan's heart moved and he laughed to himself.
He took the bait.
