Chapter 244 A letter from a girl
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
In order to attract attention and make more profits, Hollywood has never lacked ingenious publicity methods. Promotions such as hyping up the scandal between Matthew and Kayla Knightley can only be said to be one of Hollywood's conventional methods.
At the Angel Brokerage Company, Matthew entered Helen Herman's office, looked around, and asked Helen Herman behind the desk, "Why haven't you seen Amanda these two days?"
Helen Hermann said lightly, "I'm back to New York."
Matthew didn't ask much, pulled open the chair, sat opposite Helen Hermann, and said, "Tell you something, Kayla Knightley and I couldn't help but get together."
Helen Hermann was not surprised at all. A young man and woman, who are good-looking and are still the most impulsive age group. It is normal to live under the same roof. Matthew is not a good bird, and is Kaira Knightley a good person? Who is the one who promises to use this promotional method to attract more attention?
She thought for a while and asked, "You and Kayla Knightley won't come, are you?"
"It's true to make a piece of it."
This matter is different from purely personal life. Matthew must have told Helen Herman to prevent her from being caught off guard when something suddenly happened. He said, "Of course my boyfriend and girlfriend are fake."
Matthew pondered for a moment and added, "Kela is more rational than I think, we just enjoy it..." He coughed, facing a woman like Helen Hermann, who looks very conservative, some things were really hard to say, and instead said, "You don't have to think too much about how to implement my previous plan and Keela."
Helen Hermann knew it, "I got it."
She suddenly picked up a piece of letter paper from her desk and pushed it to Matthew, saying, "This is a letter mailed to Disney Pictures by one of your little movie fans. Disney Pictures has transferred it to me."
"How do you let me see these?" Matthew was quite curious.
In the past, there were no fans who had mailed him letters, but the Angel Brokerage Company had a dedicated person to reply to the letter, so there was no need to worry about it.
Helen Hermann did not answer him, but pointed to the letter and said, "You'll talk about it after reading it."
Matthew nodded, opened the letter, and looked carefully.
"Dear Matthew Horner, dear Will Turner..."
The letter fonts are graceful and neat, much better than the crooked letters he wrote.
Matthew continued to look down.
"I am an ordinary girl from Harvard West Lake School. Since I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in the theater last weekend, I have begun to worship you crazy. You must be the hero who appeared in a shining light and saved me from the bad guys!"
Seeing this, Matthew couldn't help scratching his head. Why does this look so much like a Disney fairy tale? The princess in danger is waiting for the prince to arrive...
"In the middle school I attended, there was a very bad principal who always targeted me and bullied me. Not only me, but all the classmates around me were threatened by him all the time. We kept plotting to resist, but we didn't have enough confidence."
"Matthew Horner, you are the powerful blacksmith Will Turner. You can easily knock down a dozen pirates by one person. How I wish you could appear in the school and eliminate the bully principal..."
The more he looked back, the more Matthew felt the urge to laugh. The letter from the little girl focused on describing his extraordinary heroism and the viciousness of the principal. He infinitely hoped that he, a powerful and handsome blacksmith, could rescue them from the so-called sea of suffering and completely beat the principal.
Matthew speculated that the school management should be extremely strict, and the principal may like to capture typical examples. This girl was probably caught by the principal for a negative example. Then she was angry with the principal. She wanted to take revenge but had no courage, so she could only endure it silently and finally resorted to this virtual idol.
This is essentially the same as the kid he once saw that she imagined Ultraman defeating all the bad guys.
At the end of the letter, there was another sentence that made Matthew laugh at him.
"If you can defeat the bad principal, I will definitely fall in love with you!"
The signature reads "Lily, a girl who endured the oppression of bad guys!"
After reading it, Matthew put the letter on the table and asked curiously, "Helen, why did he let me read such a letter?"
He believes that with the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", there must be many fans who wrote letters to him.
Helen Hermann suddenly laughed, and she was still very bright, and she rarely smiled like this.
"Is it so funny to just a little girl's boring fantasy?" Matthew really couldn't stand her unusual expression. "When you were a little girl, did you never have a similar fantasy?"
"Me?" Helen Hermann said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Matthew stretched out a finger and pointed at her from a distance, "You lack interest."
Helen Hermann put away his smile and did not answer Matthew's words, but said, "How about you go and help this little girl realize her dream?"
"What?" Matthew suspected that he had heard it wrong, "What did you say?"
Helen Hermann said calmly, "You did not have auditory hallucinations, and there was nothing wrong with what you just heard."
Matthew scratched his head a little, "You really want me to defeat the principal?"
"Not me," Helen Herman quickly explained, "After receiving this letter, Disney Pictures' publicity department planned an event to help a kind little girl get the bully principal who oppressed her."
Speaking of this, she smiled slightly, probably thinking that the promotional event planned by Disney Pictures was interesting. "Of course, the media press conference will be accompanied by the cameras of Disney TV and ABC TV Entertainment Channels. "
Matthew also smiled, "Disney Pictures is really..." He originally wanted to say he was crazy, but he thought that such a promotional method could attract attention and was also very helpful to him personally. He changed his words and said, "It is indeed a good idea."
The personal benefits of this kind of publicity activity are obvious. It can easily attract a group of hardcore fans, and it also gives people the illusion that he is very caring, which makes people feel more likely to have a favorable impression.
"It shouldn't be a big problem for me to handle the principal of a school." Matthew frowned again, "How to solve the problem with so many teachers and security personnel in the school?"
Helen Hermann waved his hand, "Don't worry about this. Disney Pictures has contacted Harvard West Lake School, and the school principal agreed to hold such an event."
"Agree?" Matthew was even more surprised, "Did the principal actually agree?"
In his impression, the principal is arrogant and inviolable. Not to mention students, even teachers should be careful when facing the principal. In a school, the principal is absolutely authoritative.
Helen Herman is sure of this, "The principal of Harvard West Lake School has officially confirmed with Disney Pictures that he will convene a school-wide student meeting in the school auditorium on Wednesday. You will appear at that time and subdue him in front of all teachers and students in the school, so that everyone can see it."
Matthew couldn't understand at all, so he had to ask, "Why?"
"It's actually very simple. Harvard West Lake School is a famous private school." Helen Hermann saw Matthew really didn't understand and said a few simple words, "The school's management is very strict. Strict management can not only bring about good order and atmosphere, but also cause psychological rebound for students. According to the principal of Harvard West Lake School, doing so can effectively alleviate students' rebellious psychology and is conducive to future management."
Matthew understands this truth that if people's nerves are tense, they should not continue to put pressure on them to break even harder, as it will cause greater trouble. At this time, proper relaxation will benefit the school and students, especially for those students in adolescence.
From the letter from the girl named Lily, it is not difficult to see that the principal is usually a very strict existence. At this time, he was knocked down under the noses of many students, which would definitely allow the students to release all their resentment and pressure.
Then, Matthew thought of another point. When he collaborated with Disney Pictures, the name of Harvard West Lake School will appear in many media. It can be regarded as taking advantage of the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and has brought a wave of free publicity.
There is no doubt that this is a very smart principal.
Helen Hermann said at this time, "The event is scheduled on Wednesday. I have contacted Elena Boyal. She will go to the scene. The Internet will explode on Wednesday and then go to the news of Disney TV and ABC TV on Wednesday night. Thursday is a traditional paper media. With the hype these two days, it is also very beneficial to the box office trend of the film's third weekend."
Matthew nodded and asked, "Is there no activity on Depp and Kayla?"
"There are all," said Helen Herman. "Disney Pictures has arranged corresponding publicity activities, so we don't have to worry about them, we are good at doing ourselves."
She specifically reminded, "The sooner the box office in North America exceeds 200 million US dollars, the more beneficial it will be for me to negotiate with Sean Daniel. Sean Daniel has proposed to Universal Pictures to appropriately increase the budget for "Dawn of the Living Dead", and I believe I have the mental preparation to pay high pay for you."
Matthew only said one sentence, "Don't worry if I do things."
Helen Herman nodded slightly. Matthew was really reassuring in his work and he had not made any major mistakes so far.
"Okay, let's get here today." Helen Hermann took the letter and said to Matthew, "You go back and prepare early, remember to bring the prop sword that the crew gave you when you get it."
"I got it." Matthew stood up and prepared to leave.
Helen Herman reminded again, "You don't need to mention this to Kayla Knightley."
