"I have a suggestion." After learning that the film has been filmed and officially entered the post-production, Adam finally expressed his publicity idea.

Super Bowl Halftime Commercial!Broadcast the preview of their first movie "Jurassic Park" on the Super Bowl, and officially carry out publicity activities for the film's release. So when Turner specifically called to inform him of the good news, Adam didn't keep a secret and told his plan directly.

In fact, this time is just right. If it is early, the filming is not finished and it is still early for publicity. New Line has not yet arranged a publicity plan, and it will be perfunctory if it is mentioned.If it is late, firstly, it will be too late to bid for the Super Bowl advertisement, and secondly, it will take time for the special effects company to give priority to producing the special effects needed for the trailer.

"That's not cheap, Mr. Baker." Since the success of the wizard and Adam's decisive acquisition of the "California Times", Adam has gained more and more weight in the eyes of New Line President Turner, so his opinions must be carefully considered and cannot Rejected rashly, otherwise it is a trivial matter to offend a copyright owner, and it is not a good thing to offend a media, especially the controlling shareholder of the "California Times", which is growing rapidly and may become the highest-selling newspaper in North America .

"The Super Bowl is the most watched game in North America and even in the world, with more than 5000 million viewers! Our early reputation was a bit bad under the influence of those newspapers and media. We must use a stunning notice to tell them—" The movie "Jurassic Park" is definitely a movie worth going to the cinema to watch, it is ten times and a hundred times more effective than our publicity on the ground." Adam said calmly, and Adam had already planned how to persuade the other party.

Hearing Adam's words, Turner, the president of New Line, also fell silent. Adam's words can be said to have touched on the key point. Publicity and distribution channels promote their own films, but New Line is not Warner's headquarters after all, and can receive unlimited support from all sides.

At most, they will promote the film according to the traditional conservative publicity method during the official release period of the film, and they will never be too dedicated, because if they succeed, Warner's income will be only a small amount, and the big head will still be in New Line. If you swallow it, why not do it.

Therefore, without the ability to control the publicity channels, Xinxian, who has no power to parry in front of the media, can only lie flat and be ridiculed. Naturally, he is not reconciled in his heart, and he agrees with Adam when he says it.

In addition, he also knows very well that if he can go to the Super Bowl, the publicity effect will be good, but it will cost millions of dollars in 30 seconds. A good road, naturally there will be a little drumming in my heart, and it is inevitable that I will think more.

So Turner gave Adam an answer that he needed to consider, and then changed the subject. Adam couldn't force him to express his position on the spot, so he also changed the subject in cooperation, and talked about the polite words of Thanksgiving. The two talked for a while After an hour, I put down the phone.

A few days later, Adam received a positive reply from Turner, expressing his agreement to promote the Super Bowl, but he hoped that Adam could control his "California Times" to do positive publicity for the movie during the promotion period.

Promoting the movie is what it should be, and Adam naturally agreed without hesitation.In fact, even if Turner didn't say it, Adam would have ordered it. After all, it was related to his own income, and it didn't take much effort to take a page and occasionally reveal some so-called erotic news to catch readers' curiosity, so that they would not I forgot, when a movie is released, I read news from time to time, and with the novel as the basis, it will attract a large number of people to pay attention.

Adam didn't stay in the town for long, and went back after Thanksgiving, because Christmas was coming right after, and many things had to be arranged in advance, and Carol was walking with Adam, although they still had school holidays. It's not over, but since Adam is not here, he doesn't plan to stay any longer.

In addition, Carol did not go into details with Adam, but Adam felt that there were some things in his hands that were busy, because even during Thanksgiving, Carol rarely rejected the old friend invitation , stay busy in the room.

Adam was distracted from his care and didn't have the energy to worry about it, so he let him go, but he still had a little curiosity in his heart after all, but no matter how close people are, they have secrets, and Carol couldn't help it if he didn't tell Adam.

Back in LA, Adam received a series of good news. First of all, during the past Thanksgiving, the sales volume of the "California Times" returned to one million for the first time since August, and the number of subscribers also returned to 40. In addition, through the newspaper Judging from the responses, the novel Chapter 1 of Thord's Revenge was approved by more than 90.00% of the readers' responses, and only less than 5.00% of the people said they could not accept it, and the other 5.00% asked why the author was not Adam · Baker.

But in any case, this first step was considered a success. When Adam returned to LA, Chapter 2 was also released. This time, the "California Times" printed 120 million copies. When Adam returned, it was eight o'clock in the evening Zhong, when I met with William Smith, I learned that it was officially sold out at five o'clock in the afternoon, indicating that the estimated quantity is still within the normal range, and how many copies will be printed in the future or how many fewer copies will be printed depends on the novel. Let's talk about the evaluation.

However, it is too risky to put a newspaper with a sales volume of more than one million on a novel. This is the main reason why Adam wants to expand the studio and cultivate a new creative team. If newcomers appear, the market for this novel will officially mature.

After New Year's Day in 1993, the "California Times" will be revised under Adam's suggestion, and a new section will be separated based on the extra chapters of "The Witcher", as well as the novels published by the Babel Group and the Eve Group. This section is the novel At the same time, since 1993, in addition to his own three books, Adam will also publish advertisements for buying novels, widely accept contributions from all people in North America, and select popular novels from them, and present them to all readers of the newspaper , In this way, the attention of the extra chapter of "The Witcher" will be shared, so that the sales of newspapers will not plunge due to the impact of poor quality or completion of the extra chapter.

"Sord's Revenge" has completed the content of the first twelve chapters. In this extra chapter, Adam is not going to suppress the content to the number of words in an ordinary novel, but keeps going down. All the plots are controlled by Adam, as long as If you can write down, keep writing down, and finally accumulate enough words, or publish it in a stage. As for how much sales you can win, it depends on whether the readers are satisfied.

Regarding the theme of doomsday, after several discussions by the Tower of Babel novel group, it was finally defined as "Doomsday Crisis". The main line of the plot is that after several years of war, a soldier suddenly encountered a biochemical weapon virus on his way home after being discharged from the army. In the biochemical doomsday caused by the leak, he must move towards his hometown under the test of countless dangers and zombies.

The theme of the story is divided into two parts, one is to describe the American society in the doomsday scene from the perspective of the protagonist, and the other part is the protagonist’s memories of his family and his experience in the army. Feel the protagonist's desire for home, this desire not only guides the protagonist but also guides the readers to move in the direction of home, without being blocked by various difficulties on the road.

However, the detailed outline is still in the creation process. Adam did not ask them to create the whole novel at once, but asked them to divide the novel. Among them, going home is the goal, a distant but must-reach destination, and each plot on the road For a stage or a node, such a one-by-one creation is like an American drama. If it is popular, the node can be stretched infinitely. If the reader is tired, then the middle node will be omitted, and the protagonist will be introduced as soon as possible. To the destination to finish the novel.

Compared with "Doomsday Crisis", Adam's in-depth intervention, this novel named "True Blood" Adam only provides relatively simple suggestions such as background and character settings, and the specific development arrangements of the novel are all made by themselves. design.

These two books will officially enter the serialization stage in the first week after the revision of the "California Times" in early 1993. Compared with the serialization of three chapters a week in the extra chapter of "The Witcher", "Doomsday Crisis" and "True Blood" These two novels were placed on the originally vacant Tuesday and Thursday, so that the time of each other is diverged, and the novel pages of all weekdays can be perfectly filled.

Therefore, for the Tower of Babel working group and the Eve working group, this Christmas will not be easy, because as soon as Christmas is over, they will face the test of the market, which is extremely critical to their future development.

Looking at the busy studio, Adam felt relieved. He didn't think so much at first, but as time went by, his ambitions and ideas began to expand slowly, and even got out of hand.

Entering December, the atmosphere of Christmas became more and more intense, and everyone gradually suffered from Christmas syndrome. Only then did Adam belatedly realize that he and Carol hadn't had anything to do for half a month since Thanksgiving. got engaged.

Thinking of this incident, he became inexplicably panicked. He called, but the phone was not answered, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, so Adam left all the work at hand and asked the driver to take him to San Francisco. See what the hell happened to Carol?

On the way forward, he had thousands of bad imaginations, each of which made him terrified. He found that Carol was extremely important to the work at hand, and he urged the driver to speed up , While praying secretly in my heart, I hope everything is just scaring myself.
