Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 14 Viral Marketing Show
On October 10st, Pang Bing's phone started ringing at around 31: am. Pang Bing, who was galloping for love, fell off his horse and sacrificed himself on the fifth time. He grabbed the phone and said happily, "It's Sister Hua calling. I guess she's bringing Li Bingbing to envy me every day."

Of course, she can be so generous because even though Huayi's group of beautiful girls and handsome guys has been running around, Li Bingbing hasn't gotten a single role so far, let alone the third female role. No one can even go beyond being a supporting role.

Among the four actresses and two ice-cream girls, Xun Ge and Xu Jinglei generally do not lack mainland resources, and at most their box office performance is not good.

Zhang Ziyi, the international star, is still playing supporting roles in heroic blockbusters, while Wei Zhentian became famous with Shaolin Soccer. Putting aside the star-studded qualities of Stephen Chow's movies, her resources are just okay.

Not only can Pang Bing choose the second and third female roles in Miracle, but Zhang Guorong has also promised to let her choose the leading female role in several movies.

Even if the script is not published, the one written by the screenwriters specifically for Zhang Guorong will definitely not be bad.

Listening to Pang Bing's boastful tone, Li Wenyu was speechless, "Go ahead and show off, but be careful that your acting skills won't keep up and you'll be ridiculed by everyone..."

He had been waiting to save up the 3 attributes he had accumulated today, and would lend them to Brother Rong someday to make him healthier. But after thinking about it, he decided to lend them to Fat Bing first so that he could reach 82. Zhang Guorong is now 59, which is considered mildly sub-healthy. Half of the young people in the future will be in sub-health.

He keeps some for himself and saves it slowly. Only when Pang Bing's acting skills reach 82 can they be worthy of being nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards.

After all, Pang Bing has become his girlfriend, someone he knows well. If he can make her a powerful movie queen and a big star, it won’t be a loss for her to make a lot of money.

After the wrap party, his job was editing, doing the post-production of The Shallows, and then slowly accumulating the script for Silver Linings Playbook. After thinking about it, he decided to officially name the script "Let Me Embrace Happiness".

The name of the dark cloud comes from a European and American proverb, similar to the Chinese poem "Mountains and rivers are so steep and deep that you think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village with willows and flowers."

He also needs to arrange personnel to hire online water armies in Hong Kong Island to launch more attacks on the Shark Beach in various forums and portal websites with barrier-free links between Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

You should also take photos of the posters of Pang Bing and others, and show them off at an appropriate time later.

It's been almost half a year since I was reborn, and the lineup I've made up till now is a bit weak. I feel like I might as well have started by selling computers...

At 8:20, when Li Wenyu and Pang Bing went to the restaurant for a buffet, Wang Jinghua, Li Bingbing, Li Xiaolu, Ren Qi, Hu Jun and others came over to say hello.

This mainland's top agent has a lot of stars under her control, not to mention those she has brought over now, including veteran Hong Kong stars such as Rosamund Kwan, Carina Lau, and Yuan Yongyi, who were also on the list of people she took away when she left Huayi four years later.

Li Wenyu simply said hello and left.

After he left, Pang Bing smiled and said, "Director Li is still busy with film editing and post-production. He worked overtime until two in the morning last night."

The class she was talking about was the ice class.

Wang Jinghua sighed helplessly, "Bingbing, you are on the rise now. As long as you have a lot of friends, you can catch up with Azhi's aura of a queen. Congratulations in advance."

Li Bingbing and Li Xiaolu exchanged a glance, and it was Bingbing who spoke most promptly. "Thank you, Sister Bingbing, for reminding me last time. I only knew about the opportunity in advance, but I failed the interview and didn't get the chance. Brother Hua has to wait until Sister Zhi finishes filming Infinite Resurrection, directed by Liu Zhenwei, before filming can begin."

This is the (Wonder Boy) project. The second female lead is still waiting for Azhi. Azhi also has people behind her. There are many people vying for good projects, and the Xiang family is behind her.

Li Xiaolu quickly boasted before asking curiously, "Sister Bingbing, is Director Li so young? He's so talented. He's already directing a film on his own before he even graduated from college. When your blockbuster movie comes out, we'll definitely book out the theater to boost the box office."

Not only Li Xiaolu was shocked, but Ren Quan and Hu Jun were also shocked. It was the first time they knew about Li Wenyu's existence and the first time they knew that Li Wenyu and Pang Bing were filming a movie together.

Pang Bing was completely terrified. Li Xiaolu had already won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, and last year's "Angel Trouble" was a hit in China. Ren Quan's fame rose to prominence with the Shao Bao series and "Angel Trouble." Hu Jun had already finished filming "Lan Yu!"—a strong film that was sure to win awards, but now Wang Jinghua had brought her team over to continue looking for opportunities, like a bunch of younger brothers and sisters paying her respects.

People who are interested in excitement tend to get a little bit high.

…………

In a post-production studio in Tsim Sha Tsui, Li Wenyu methodically edited a film, working until lunchtime. His assistant, Xiao Hu, approached and said, "Brother Yu, as per your request, I've hired 300 web addicts at a daily wage of HK$100."

"What do we do next?"

How to create viral marketing to promote a movie? In 1999, The Blair Witch Project perfectly demonstrated small miracles to the world and made $2.48 million.

Li Wenyu smiled and said, "For now, the networks for Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand will be handed over to these 100 internet geeks. We can expand the team when the need arises. As for the mainland, I'll have to go back and take charge of it myself. So, you can have them post daily on major internet forums and portal forum comment sections in various countries."

"Everyone should post the number 200-12-22 at least 08 times a day. The more intensive the cluster bombing, the better. This will cost about HK$90 a month. But if the marketing is good, there will definitely be profit."

"I'll quickly edit it, ask Brother Rong to help with the music, and then go back to the mainland to sprint across the entire network."

The marketing of The Blair Witch Project was great. In 2008, there was also a movie called Cloverfield that used the release date 1-18-08 for mysterious marketing. As a result, it attracted the curiosity of countless people and grossed $8 million in North America and $1.7 million worldwide.

The quality of Cloverfield is really not as good as The Shallows. At least The Shallows has the best and most promising Ice Age character at his peak, and his acting is worse than the original.

If he plays this trick well, there is hope that he can create a box office of 3000 million in Hong Kong Island, and he can also achieve a small miracle of more than 3000 million in the Mainland. The quality of The Shallows is at this point, and it can't bear two 3000 million, but the virus can.

The bigger the game, the greater the box office expectations will be!

Everyone is curious, and this is after December 12, which includes the long maternity leave period from Christmas to New Year's Day.

Of course, he needs to know the key points in advance about the significance of announcing this date, and he also needs Zhang Guorong to make an effort to negotiate with the theaters first. Brother Rong has already agreed on the release date with the Hong Kong Island Theaters.

Don’t let other movies released at the same hour steal the show!
Xiao Hu's eyes widened as he made the arrangements. This seemed familiar, yet also a bit bewildered. "Only promoting this one number?"

Li Wenyu nodded. "In the early stages, we only need this number. If necessary, we can ask Brother Rong to announce the release date of his new film."

After the conversation, he went back to work on the editing. After a small amount of special effects were completed, the final editing effect was very fast. He had seen "Future Answers".

The first editing started on the 29th, the day before yesterday, and it's time for him to go back to Beijing Film Academy. The champion of the 2001 mainland box office list was Pearl Harbor with 1.05 million yuan, and the second was Big Shot with 4300 million.

Ranked fourth and fifth are My Brothers and Sisters and Mummy, both with only 2300 million.

If viral marketing is done well, the movie will get bigger and bigger. Not to mention the box office of more than 3000 million, it is possible to break through 4300 million and bring down big names.

This is not a competition of film quality, but it will definitely elevate the status of the film and Pang Bing.

You said it was still accumulating box office revenue in 2002? The original trajectory of the big-name film was also to be released at the end of the year, or in 2001.
