Director’s Legend

On the way to the cafe, Shao Shuaijun and Mitchell said, "How do you plan to promote?"

Mitchell took a picture of his hairstyle in the rearview mirror of the car. He is an image-conscious person: "What we mean is to use viral marketing and spread the Internet to catch the curiosity of the audience. You can start now, At the Comic Con, we will distribute some T-shirts with the "Inception" pattern, print a QR code on the back, and hide the built website address in the QR code."

"Will they scan the QR code and find that website? Even if they find it, it will only be a small number of people?" Shao Shuaijun asked nonchalantly.

"Don't underestimate our American comic fan otaku, how interested in this kind of thing, and how high the spread rate. We will also distribute some small tops and USB flash drives, we will also hide mystery, and pay their attention The force is transferred to the website. This website is the first lock. We design an instruction for the "Inception", and then put some clues and tasks. Once these tasks are completed, you can jump to another website."

"Another website?"

"Yes, the first Inception website is mainly used to illustrate the possibility of Inception. Then the second website, we can call it a'conscious crime'. There is also a third website, we can call it For'what is dream sharing', I hide it on a poster on the street, and then mainly introduce the source and theoretical basis of the dream machine, trying to uncover the conspiracy of the'inception', and finally you can jump to the'conscious crime' website."

Mitchell is very comfortable with his design: "The crime awareness website will be our main promotional venue. We can release some posters, trailers, etc. at each stage. To be the first to see these contents, we must first complete some Small tasks such as maze games attract everyone's interest."

“It’s a good way of publicity, but I want to emphasize one point. I need to master it. I don’t want to reveal the content of the movie too early to make people lose the interest in watching the movie. Confused and give up.” Shao Shuaijun thought for a while, “It can be emphasized in this way that'your brain is the crime scene' and'dreams are real'. We can also find some experts who study dreams to elaborate these arguments and create There is a feeling that this is not an illusory movie, but a real scientific documentary!"

Mitchell added: "These alone are not fascinating. We'd better come once or twice. For example, design a huge poster to hang on a building in Los Angeles. Make the poster design a little more mysterious, for example, it looks like the building is distorted. , For example, it seems that the building has become a waterfall. Wait."

"Yes, very creative, Mitchell, if you don't do marketing, it's a shame."

Talking about the advertisement, I soon arrived at a cafe in Hollywood. After entering the door, Shao Shuaijun and Mitchell ordered two cups of coffee and waited slowly. After a while, the waiting person arrived.

"Excuse me, Mr. Bruce, there is a traffic jam on the road." The handsome and handsome man came, and it was Leonardo DiCaprio, a popular Hollywood actor.

"It doesn't matter, we just arrived." Mitchell introduced, "Shao, this is Leonardo, the actor of Jack in "Titanic". Leonardo, this is the "Inception" Director Shao Shuaijun."

"Hello there."

"Hello there."

After introducing each other and ordering coffee, Shao Shuaijun went straight to the topic: "Leonardo, I didn’t know the script on the phone before. I brought the script and you have a look. I invite you very sincerely. Joining the crew of "Inception" as the actor Dom Cobb, this will be a movie like no other."

While Leonardo was reading the script, Shao Shuaijun couldn't help but look at the "Jack" who fascinated thousands of young girls. Leoner became famous for many years. In 1997, with the image of Jack, the hero of the epic romance film "Titanic", he became popular all over the world and became a Hollywood superstar.

Last year, with "Infernal Affairs" and "Blood Diamond", he was nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Globe Awards and became an actress with both acting skills and idols. The original version of "Inception" was starred by Leonardo, and the performance was very brilliant. Shao Shuaijun didn't even consider letting others play it, and directly locked him in.

To this end, Shao Shuaijun took out 20 million US dollars in remuneration, which is Leonardo's current worth. In the original version, Leonardo took the box office share, and the final remuneration was more than 50 million US dollars. Knowing that "Inception" would be popular, Shao Shuaijun never thought of using the share to pay the remuneration.

Leonardo looked carefully, and occasionally turned to the front and continued to look up the previous article. After spending an entire hour, Shao Shuaijun drank three times the coffee and went to the toilet. Leonardo finally closed the script.

"how is it?"

Leonardo praised: "The script was conceived so wonderfully. Although I have not fully figured out whether it is a four-layer dream or a six-layer dream, I must admit that I was moved. Director, I am willing to join the crew, specifically Just talk to my agent for the details!"

"Relax, we have prepared a salary worthy of your worth, 20 million US dollars."

"Then can I keep this script?"

"After signing this non-disclosure agreement, the script will be handed over to you. You can familiarize yourself with it first. We may start the machine in a week."

"Ok."

After leaving Leonardo, Shao Shuaijun smiled to Mitchell and said: "With Leonardo's participation, the film is at least half the success. Hollywood knows that he is a good script and not accepting the play. Let's go and get in touch. One."

The next one is not someone else, but Jack Gyllenhill. After the failure of the imax blockbuster "The Nightman" cooperating with Shao Shuaijun, Jack was also criticized and Shao Shuaijun felt very sorry for him. Jack has acting skills, but there is no defensible blockbuster, which greatly reduces his commercial value.

Fortunately, Jack is not the kind of person who likes to complain. "The Night Watcher" is messed up. He and Shao Shuaijun are still in touch, and they often comfort each other.

When I saw Jack, it was at the home of Jack's sister Maggie Gyllenhill. Jack comes from a family of acting. His father is a TV drama director, his mother is a playwright, and his sister is also a Hollywood actor. Of course, compared to the handsome and handsome Gyllenhill, his sister looks more general.

"Hi Jack, it's nice to see you again."

"Me too, Shao, and Mr. Bruce."

After eating the pancakes made by Maggie, Shao Shuaijun stated his purpose: "Jack, this is the case. My new movie "Inception" has been approved, and we have invited Leonardo to star in. I hope you can accept it. The other protagonist in the movie is the target character Fisher. Trust me Jack, this movie will be very exciting, you can understand after reading the script, I sincerely invite you."

Since his debut, Jack has generally been the protagonist or dual protagonist. Shao Shuaijun is not sure whether he will play a secondary role. However, he is still very optimistic about Jack. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
