This side, Makari State."
Blair the Witch" is in full swing for the final shot of the film.On the other side, with the publicity of the globe.On the Internet, the topic of witches is gradually burning."
I think it's all deliberately hidden by the government, they don't want us to know about the existence of witches, like aliens in District 9.""
But, why, someone has already been killed because of a witch.""
They weren't killed, they just disappeared.""
Come on, you really believe the excuse given by the government, don't you know, the police have found the video tape left by the missing person, which is said to record everything that happened to them before they disappeared, and the government must have seen the contents and will hide everything!""
I heard that the real appearance of the witch was recorded in the videotape.""
How is it possible, the witch is just a legend!""
Where did that legend come from, maybe the witch really exists, otherwise why would those students have disappeared?""
Blair the Witch" began to become more and more intense under the power of the Internet and the global push behind it.More and more people know about witches, and they are curious, worried, or suspicious to tell the story of the 'witch' to the people around them.The phone call asking about the missing person even broke the local Maryland state government.They want to know the news of the missing, they want to know the truth about the witch.Maryland's state simply doesn't know how to answer these calls because they don't know what the truth is.They don't even know what the rumored tape actually recorded."
That's it."
On the other hand, Zhao Yuan, who has mastered the 'truth', is in New York, in the office of Ron Meyer of Universal Pictures.Looking at the latest reports in the media about "Blair the Witch", he said with a smile.Universal did not invest money in the media for publicity, which means that the content of "Blair the Witch" in the newspapers was completely spontaneous by the media.And such a report also indirectly shows that the topic of "Blair the Witch" is now hot in the whole United States."
I've reached out to theaters, and so far more than 50 theaters are willing to show 'Blair the Witch.'"
Although the topic of "Blair the Witch" burned throughout the United States, theaters still showed a cautious attitude towards movies.They can't guarantee that a film as rough as "Blair the Witch" will actually attract audiences."
That's enough."
Zhao Yuan is not worried about the problem of the theater chain.The original "Blair the Witch" was originally only released in about 20 theaters, but then the explosive box office results caused the rest of the theaters to introduce it."
Alan, do you really think 'Blair the Witch' will be a success at the box office?"
Compared with Zhao Yuan's self-confidence, Ron Meyer began to show a worried look.In the film market, no one can guarantee that they will always make money.Taking Universal as an example, if it weren't for the appearance of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", a box office dark horse, last year, which increased the company's film market share, Universal's year-end report would not have been so bright."
Of course."
Nodding his head without hesitation, Zhao Yuan looked at Ron Meyer in front of him, and replied in an affirmative tone: "With the current popularity caused by "Blair the Witch", as long as the movie is successfully released, there is no possibility of loss, I am confident in my script, but ......"
"But what?"
”Hearing Zhao Yuan's affirmative answer, the look on Ron Meyer's face began to relax, but Zhao Yuan "However, with the viral propaganda method of "Blair the Witch", I dare to guarantee that when those media and audiences know the truth, it will definitely attract a series of scolding and accusations from film critics. ”"As long as 'Blair the Witch' can make money at the box office, the accusations of the media and film critics don't matter at all."
As a member of capitalist society, Ron Meyer does not care at all about the so-called media accusations.…… On February 17, in the reports of major media outlets, the website that originally announced the information of "Blair the Witch" released the news of the release of the videotape.A few days later, at midnight on February 21, "Blair the Witch," a P-13 horror film, was officially released in 56 theaters in Los Angeles.By now, there are many keen people who are aware of the problem.A videotape recording the disappearance will never be released in theaters in such a grand manner.However, the vast majority of the public is willing to believe what they see.They go into the cinema to see the truth about "Blair the Witch".Wen Ziren is also one of the audiences who enter the theater, but compared to those who are looking for the truth, he knows the truth about "Blair the Witch" from the beginning, and it is just a movie written and shot by Zhao Yuan."
Sure enough, just like Alan said."
Sitting in the theater, looking at the shaking camera on the big screen, Wen Ziren couldn't help muttering.Judging from the filming time of "Blair the Witch" in just a few days, Wen Ziren knew that "Blair the Witch" would definitely not be an exquisite movie.In fact, not only Wen Ziren, but most of the people in the theater showed disappointment when they saw the first scene of "Blair the Witch".However, they did not choose to leave.Because, the viral publicity for nearly half a month made them believe that what they saw was a real documentary, not a fake movie.And it is precisely because of this cognition that they endured all kinds of shaky amateur shots of the movie and threw themselves into the plot of the movie.Once in the worldview of the movie, the thriller in the plot of "Blair the Witch" will become a real sense, stimulating the crowd watching the movie.The movie ends."
Huh~" Sitting in the back row of the theater, Wen Ziren breathed a long sigh of relief.Even though he knew that "Blair the Witch" was just a fictional plot, under the influence of the theater atmosphere, he was still taken aback by many of the scenes."
A very unique thriller movie, the shaky camera does not affect the horror of the movie, but has a bonus effect."
commented on "Blair the Witch", Wen Ziren looked at the people in the theater, there were not many people watching the movie at midnight, but it was also forty percent of the theater, and from their shocked expressions, Wen Ziren knew that "Blair the Witch" was successful.
