Don't call me Master, call me Director

"That's right!"

In the Tokyo Magician's Club, Aoko was talking to Uzu while checking the computer screen.

"The plot, graphics, special effects, scenes, performances, and even the soundtrack of "Super Eight" are not hundreds of times better than those stinky and long movies! It's its own problem!"

"So "Super Eight" has a high rating on IMDB. Although there are new movies with inflated high scores, at least it means that the website is okay?"

This time it's rare that Youzhu was not the one who complained, but the one who complained.

Although Youzhu became a die-hard fan of Matou Shinji through Aoko's "teaching" at the beginning, even more fanatical than Aoko, the "teaching".

But Youzhu himself is not interested in the rating of "Super Eight" on IMDB.

After confirming that the movie received mostly positive reviews, Youzhu stopped paying attention to the word-of-mouth of "Super Eight" and began to study the plot of the movie instead.

"I'm very interested in the little girl who keeps appearing in the movie but doesn't reveal her true identity. Who is such an important character?"

"Well..."

Qingzi rubbed his chin and guessed.

"I think she should be a mechanical descendant, but..."

Qingzi couldn't help frowning.

The world is in crisis, so heroes are summoned to appear in the real world. This setting is inexplicably familiar to magicians like them.

"Inhibition? But what does this mean?"

"Maybe Mr. Matou is implying that maybe the heroic spirits of the parallel world can also be summoned. And he is ready to do so?"

"Why would that kind of thing be filmed in a movie? It doesn't make sense?"

"How could it be meaningless? Mr. Matou successfully summoned Saber. Alter by shooting HF."

Youzhu retorted: "Maybe this time, I also want to use this method of instilling consciousness in the public, so that he can summon something from other parallel worlds."

"Could it be that Shinji Matou really wants to summon an Ultraman? It should be...impossible, right? Is there a parallel world where Ultraman exists?"

Qingzi still felt something was wrong.

Fortunately, as an activist, Qingzi quickly thought of a way.

"Should we go to see it again today, we should be able to find out more details."

"No problem at all."

How could Youzhu object to such an interesting proposal.

Chapter 251 Which man can refuse to fall in love with a historical celebrity?

Like Qingzi and Youzhu, there are not a few fans who have done a second, or even third, or fourth remake of "Super Eight".

Of course, most movie fans do not want to play magic puzzles like Youzhu. Their reason for watching "Super Eight" many times is very simple and simple-to have a good time.

And those viewers who have already had a good time can't wait to share their cool experience with others online, trying to let others have a good time with themselves.

Naturally, among those fanatical comments on the Internet, there are some trolls from Xingyue Company.

As a time traveler, Shen Er pays more attention to the importance of online word-of-mouth than anyone else.

It is a pity that although Shen Er attaches great importance to the water army washing the ground, the quality of the water army temporary workers these years is really not good.

At this time, Shen Er misses his dream navy leader - Baimao Hassan very much.

One person plays 88 roles. There is no more efficient and more mobile navy than this. It is not an exaggeration to call Baimao a "Navy Admiral".

Unfortunately, because of the randomness of summoning Hassan, Shen Er was hesitant to try to summon the orthodox Hassan.

After all, apart from Baimao, there are too few places where Hassan can use it.

Although as long as it is Hassan, his concealment ability and intelligence collection are definitely not bad. It stands to reason that he is definitely a good player at spying on business secrets.

It's a pity that the restriction of only being able to move in Fuyuki City made Hassan useless at all.

In Fuyuki City, Shinji doesn't need Hassan to get information?

The second master said that with just one look, people can obediently send information to him.

What kind of behavior is it to draw lots in a pool for a specific role?

Clods!

Shen Er, who knows that his face is dark, never bets his fate on his own luck.

It's okay to draw another Hassan, but what if a certain uncle with the same voice as Father Mapo is drawn? !

Although the conditions for summoning the crowns are very strict, what if the world is mysteriously declining and the strength of the spirit foundation drops, making it easier for the crowns to summon?

Wouldn't it be even worse if grandpa was summoned for this reason?

Er Ye strongly stated that he has no interest in restoring humanity, he is only interested in filming stories about restoring humanity.

Of course, Shen Er now has the leisure and elegance to think about what will happen if he summons the wrong Hassan, it is entirely because he is not so urgent about the quality of the navy.

Because after the release of "Super Eight", countless "tap water" quickly emerged on the Internet, spontaneously helping Er Ye speak for his movie.

Judging from the results alone, Xingyue's network propaganda department and those hired sailors are completely promoting loneliness.

They hardly have to do anything, and they earn their wages while lying down.

Regarding this result, Shen Er was entangled in his heart.

It's a good thing for someone to praise his own movie, but the employees can get free money by fishing casually, which makes Shen Er, the boss, feel very uncomfortable.

However, Shen Er is a rabbit-colored characteristic entrepreneur at heart, not a capitalist who is destined to be hung up by the street lamp.

He didn't recover the salaries sent out by the sailors, but just reminded the Internet Propaganda Department to be careful not to be smeared and messed up by some people.

Because Shen Er is more concerned about the commercial performance of the film than the already one-sided Internet public opinion.

No matter how good the word-of-mouth is, no matter how enthusiastic fans are, only when it is transformed into real box office results can the movie be considered a success.

No matter how good the songs are, it doesn't matter how good the reputation is, just like the "Shawshank Redemption" that everyone is touting, but it took nearly 25 years to recover the cost.

Of course, that was the world before Shen Er crossed over. This world was dominated by literary movies. Although this movie didn't make a lot of money, it didn't lose too much.

But that's all. The slow pace and depressing atmosphere of art films are really not suitable for theater screenings. The box office performance of "The Shawshank Redemption" is still a mess, and it can barely make it back by relying on the film's subsequent offline income. Book.

In contrast, Shinji's film is a completely different situation.

"The first day of box office in North America was 2310 million US dollars!? A special feature film!? And the leading actors are all Japanese!?"

Although she had guessed that "Super Eight" would do well at the box office, Cloris still didn't expect the results to be so good.

After all, apart from the special effects, this Japanese special film has no potential to sell well in North America from top to bottom, from actors to IP.

So, when Ms. Lizzy got the North American results, she was in the shower and stood up from the big bathtub in surprise.

Fortunately, Cloris had only one female assistant by her side when she was taking a shower, and there was no incident of being naked.

It's a pity that Director Shen Er missed an opportunity to feast his eyes in vain.

"This result...isn't it another FZ?"

It was about making money, and Cloris was not in the mood to take a bath anymore. She hurriedly put on a bathrobe and walked into the living room, carefully reading the box office data of "Super Eight".

"Japan's first-day box office data is 1.5 million yen, Britain's is 215 million pounds, and France's... emmmmmm..."

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

Cloris rubbed her eyes and said, "It's a headache to convert various currencies, so can't we just use US dollars to do it?"

"This is globalization, miss."

"...What you said makes sense."

Cloris sighed, she gently put down the report, and looked at the sky outside the window.

"I didn't expect my Shen Er's appeal to be so great. This is better than many big-name stars."

"That's because Time Group promoted it well." Cloris' assistant said proudly, "Without Time Group's promotion, the movie wouldn't have such a high box office."

"But this promotional plan was also designed by Shen Er. That guy is really a genius in the film and television industry. He always sees the opportunity one step ahead of others."

Through statistics, Cloris found something interesting

As a special film, the movie "Super Eight" was able to achieve such unimaginable results in markets such as North America and Europe, which actually had extra help.

"IMAX big screen."

Because Shen Er used the new technology of magic's naked-eye 3D special effects in "Super Eight", many European and American audiences chose to watch the expensive IMAX version directly, so as to make themselves in place in one step.

Those who do not have the conditions to watch the IMAX version also choose the 3D version as much as possible to let themselves use these IMAX youth mini versions to satisfy their eye addiction.

According to the current movie ticket price in the European and American markets, the 3D movie ticket is twice as expensive as the 2D movie ticket, and the IMAX version is twice as expensive as the 3D version.

These more movie ticket prices than traditional movies directly piled up the box office of "Super Eight" on the first day around the world.

What's more, after watching the ordinary 2D version, many viewers heard about the magic of the 3D version, so they contributed a 3D movie ticket.

Then, after appreciating the charm of naked-eye 3D, they are ready to watch IMAX for early adopters...

"If it weren't for the fact that there are too few IMAX screens, many places wouldn't be able to see it at all, and this time, the first-day box office of "Super Eight" could increase by tens of millions of dollars—maybe it can approach 5 million dollars!?"

Cloris thought with some regret, then shook her head again.

"I'm thinking too much. If IMAX screens are so popular, there probably won't be such a gimmick. In the words of my family, Shinji, this is the so-called hunger marketing, right?"

"Miss, there is something I want to clarify."

The assistant kindly reminded her.

"what?"

"Shinji Matou is not your family yet. There is something wrong with your address, miss. It's too early for you to get complacent."

Cloris smiled coldly: "Don't worry, this will happen sooner or later."

"Looking at the situation of Matou Shinji, he seems to prefer to mix with those heroic spirits."

Cloris waved her hand: "It's just a few dead people..."

Miss Assistant reminded. "Because he is a dead person, he doesn't have to bear any responsibility."

"..."

"You don't even need a marriage certificate, and you can shoot multiple shots in one shot, which is many times more convenient than ordinary women." The assistant continued to talk about the benefits of Servant.

"..."

"There is also a reputation bonus." The assistant continued to bewitch, "Compared with ordinary women, it is obviously more fulfilling to associate with those historical celebrities. Which man does not want to ride Joan of Arc on the bed?"

"Hehe~"

Cloris smiled coldly: "I don't care about such things."

With that said, she stood up and ordered: "Next, I'm going to Xingyue Company to prepare a suit for me."

The assistant directly took out a suit from the closet: "I've prepared it for you, Miss."

Realizing that she had been tricked, Cloris twitched the corners of her mouth twice, and then silently stepped forward to change her clothes.

"Ah, that's right."

While changing clothes, Cloris suddenly thought of another thing.

"Next week, you will let people keep an eye on the stock market. The craze driven by "Super Eight" will definitely make IMAX's stock soar, and let them sell at a high price."

Investors in the outer circle have no way to invest in Xingyue, but in order to catch the wave of naked-eye 3D technology, they will at least choose companies that can be related to Xingyue to hype and follow suit.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the IMAX company, which is technically popular, perfectly fits the movie-watching trend of "Super Eight" in terms of content, and is still listed, is definitely the best investment target for them.

And this is also the best opportunity for Cloris to sell her personally held stocks and earn a handful of pocket money for herself.

It's just that the assistant was a little puzzled by Cloris's decision: ""Super Eight" made the world notice the commercial value of IMAX. Even if you don't continue to invest at this time, you shouldn't sell it, right?"

"fool."

After changing her clothes, Cloris flicked her long silver hair so that it fell softly on her shoulders.

"Instead of staring at the spare tire in the eyes of outsiders, of course it would be more enjoyable to make money with Shen Er himself."
