Chapter 165 "The Ninth District" is here!

In the neatly decorated living room, on the screen of the flat-screen TV, Wang Yang, wearing a beige plaid shirt and jeans, and Robert Downey, a little brown shirt, sat on the red sofa, both of them smiling; and behind the wooden table next to him was Conan O'Brien, which was exactly the scene of the NBC TV program "Late Night Talk Show".

After finalizing the theatrical version of "The Ninth District", Wang Yang began to participate in some talk show programs that the distribution department had made appointments. Although viral marketing often has extraordinary results, these mainstream publicity channels are also needed. A considerable majority of viewers still only learn about movie information from newspaper media, TV programs, etc., and choose the person to watch.

In fact, the promotion of "The Ninth District" has been launched very early, such as Patrick Tatepoulos, Art Design Kevin Cavanav, Visual Effects Director Richard Kidd, Computer Production Director Sean Walsh, and Robert Downey Jr., who are all running around. Not only North American cities, but also box office centers such as London and Paris.

As a director, producer and biggest signboard, Wang Yang naturally had to take charge. He conducted countless interviews on the phone and website interviews, and recorded several well-known and unknown talk shows. "Late Night Talk Show" is one of them.

"I was scared that day. I drove to see a street sign. It should be an advertising location! Skin care products, beautiful shoes, weight loss pills..." Conan O'Brien listed it with his hands, and finally said helplessly: "Everything that will drain men's wallet." Wang Yang on the sofa shrugged: "Oh, you should be happy that there are no aphrodisiacs."

The audience immediately burst into laughter. Evelyn Barry, who was watching the TV screen on the sofa in the living room, also laughed. Conan O'Brien reacted quickly on the screen and said with a smile: "Nothing happy, I can stand that kind of thing. Anyway, I didn't see any advertisements, and there was a reward of 10,000 US dollars to capture aliens. What the hell is that?"

"The advertisement for "Men in Black 2". Wang Yang's voice was calm and nodded with certainty. The audience burst into laughter before he finished speaking. Donny spread his hands in surprise, and Conan couldn't help laughing. Evelyn, who was holding the sofa pillow, raised her head and laughed, picked up the remote control and turned the volume up a little. His talk show was always so interesting!

The audience laughed for a while, and Conan stopped laughing, "The advertisement was made very much like a government slogan, like a sign that prohibits smoking. But then I could see those slogans everywhere, bus stops, parks, roadside chairs, and I even saw them in the bathroom, Oh my God!" He looked at the audience with a frown and said, "I doubt whether it has been posted to my house. I did that, and checked the room in detail. Can't my life get rid of aliens?"

Wang Yang on the screen smiled and said, "I think yes, aliens are the guy who has the most movie appointments in Hollywood. You can see him at least three times a year." He smiled before talking about the viral marketing of "The Ninth District": "That's very interesting, mainly because we want to give everyone a strong sense of substitution. Although you know that it's fake, you will be more involved and more able to experience the fun and charm of this movie.

He shrugged and said with a smile: "Just like "Ghost Record", the fun and experience it gives to everyone is something that ordinary horror movies cannot give. Unfortunately, it is only once, ha, it's different from a few years ago..."

"The Ghost Records?" Evelyn suddenly burst out laughing, looking at the TV and shook her head, her ears covered by her blonde hair turned red. Four years ago, she was 14 years old, and she saw something like "supernatural murder" and "evil spirit possessed and murdered people". She believed it and was paying attention to this matter throughout the summer vacation, interviewing those websites, and then a "real" DVD movie was about to be released.

On the first day of the first week, she and her brother Ferton went to the designated theater to watch it. In the end, she was so scared that she had no idea what happened. She woke up and was in the hospital. I heard that she almost died of paralysis at that time. That was her experience.

Evelyn moved her body with cough and continued to look at the magical Yang on the screen. At that time, Lionsgate invited her and Felton to play in Santa Monica, Los Angeles for a few days; then, the truth about the ghost came to light, and it turned out that everything was a trick made by an 18-year-old guy. She was surprised and angry at first, feeling that she was being fooled, but soon felt that the guy was so awesome.

There is no way to feel that, because half a year later, a movie "Singing and Dance" came out, and all the girls in the school were talking about it, and she also began to like this magic director; then the touching "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door" a year later, and then "Juno", which made her completely a big fan of Fantasy Yang. Although she loved Juno so much, she never thought of imitating early pregnancy; she was almost scared to death! Isn't that enough?

Now four years have passed, she is 18 years old, but Shenqi Yang is only 22 years old, but she seems to have grown up with her. It’s such a strange feeling! Shenqi Yang is not far away. He is also from San Francisco. Her high school is Lincoln High School, the same school as him. He has become a legend of Lincoln High School and the most famous senior. Everyone knows him and his high school story is also circulated.

There are many facts and legends. He is very good at playing basketball. He has won the photography award. He is the king of the prom. He is a playboy and has many girlfriends... She thinks that the girlfriend is fake, otherwise how could he have been with Jessica for so long? Although Jessica is getting hotter.

"This movie will make you feel..." Wang Yang on the screen thought for a moment, leaned on the sofa, looked at Conan and smiled, "No, I can't reveal that it is the best thing to watch without knowing it." Conan looked unwilling to buy it and said, "Don't you have to guarantee that? How can I walk into the cinema with confidence?"

Evelyn waved her hand impatiently and said to the TV: "Please, isn't Shenqiyang a guarantee?" As the audience cheered, Wang Yang nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, guys! It's very wonderful, you will like it, I promise!"

"I'll definitely watch it!" Evelyn jumped off the sofa with enthusiasm, picked up the phone and pressed it. She grew up watching Shenqiyang "she" and did not have his directed movie for the whole year last year, and there was a lot of movie viewing fun. Now in "The Ninth District", she has no reason not to watch it. Fortunately, the R-level is only for under 17 years old, otherwise it would be annoying to have parents accompany you.

As soon as the phone was connected, she smiled and said, "Haha, it's me, I'll go to the movie together on Friday? Of course, I'm watching Shenqiyang!" She returned to the sofa and sat down, and said, "God, he's so cool! I'm watching "Late Night Talk Show" now. Don't you know he will be there tonight? Haha, I sympathize with you..."

On August 2nd, another weekend kicked off, and countless excited fans flocked to the cinema. "The Sky" was released and "The Ninth District" was released! For the latter, they felt that they had been waiting for a century. Those fans who have participated in several rounds of viral marketing and fans who were attracted by the ubiquitous promotional posters all vowed to watch it as soon as possible tonight! No one can stop it!

"Hey, do you want to line up?" Under the hazy night, there was a long queue outside the small cinema, and the young people were laughing and talking about something. The blonde girls, Claire, Janet and Alison, walked past the team with great swagger. Claire suddenly saw the girl who scolded them on the day of "Sweetheart" released, and smiled proudly: "Hahaha! Let's go see the magical Yang, d-9!"

Seeing that the three of them were about to enter the cinema, the black-haired white girl roared angrily and asked at the fat black guard over there: "Why can they go in!? This is unfair, unfair!" The young people around also jumped up one after another, the team was scattered, and booed: "This is illegal! I feel ashamed of you!", "They are the daughters of the theater owner? Even if it is not possible!"

"I'm saying what are you quarrel?" Claire looked at them with a funny look, raised the three movie tickets in his hand, and smiled: "I'll buy the tickets early this morning, I'm proud of me! Sisters, let's go in to watch the first scene of "The Ninth District"." After that, she walked into the cinema with her head held high. Janet and Alison smiled at everyone and followed them in.

"See, they have movie tickets." The fat black doorman looked innocent and looked at the young people who were queuing up in a row speechlessly, and persuaded him: "Children, you will see a movie. A movie will be screened for at least one month! We have two weeks here."

The young people laughed at each other, and then blew on him: "Let me be clear, who is the child?", "Brother, don't you know that the movie will be good to watch immediately after it is released?" Hearing this, the black-haired white girl nodded in agreement and scolded: "Look tomorrow? Watch the day after tomorrow? Who can tell me I won't get spoilers? Shenqiyang said that he had to be completely unaware of it, so that he would have the greatest pleasure! But those damn newspapers and those websites always do this..."

"What, the tickets are sold out?" Cliff Marrow pressed the ticket counter with both hands and stared at the middle-aged ticket seller with wide eyes. Such a large cinema was sold out?!

The white ticket seller nodded and said lightly: "Yes, there are still many tickets for "The Heavens Eye", and there are also a lot of "Man in Black 2", which also talk about aliens; but for "The Ninth District", there are only midnight shows left now, and there are still some in the first show, do you want it?"

Cliff Marrow stretched out his hand without thinking and said anxiously: "Of course, give me the tickets! I don't want to lose even the midnight venue." He was part of the website of "Mysterious Visitors", and then "Alien Research Center" and "Alien Secrets". Now he is not going to see it on the first day? What he said on the blog is so funny.

Seeing the curly young man leaving with his movie tickets, everyone in the back also rushed to buy tickets for the midnight venue.

A young, twelve- and three-year-old brown-haired girl smiled at her tall father beside her in a sweet voice, "Papa, let's watch "The Episode" first, and then wait for the midnight show in "The Ninth District"?" Her father Hans frowned and hesitated, "Alice, if you watch the midnight show, we will not be able to get home in the middle of the night." Alice held his arm intimately and smiled, "What's the problem? You're looking at me, please!"

"Okay." Hans nodded with a smile and agreed. Alice laughed and said, "yes, so I said you are a cool pappa!" Hans asked in confusion again, "But there is only Robert Downey Jr. in that movie." Alice shrugged indifferently and said, "It's magical!" Hans said with oh, and suddenly laughed, "Yes, there's him."

Although there was still some time before the start of the movie, the audience was already full of seats in the 300-person screening room. Evelyn Barry, holding a bucket of popcorn, and his good friend Kelly Doyle walked into the hall. They looked for a good seat in the remaining position and looked at the big screen in front, where the movie trailer was playing.

"It's almost time to watch." Evelyn Barry smiled expectantly and picked up a few pieces of popcorn and sent it into his mouth. Kelly Doyle smiled and said, "I wonder if there is anything funny?" Evelyn rolled her eyes and said, "How is it possible? Are slums funny? I'm ready to be in a heavy mood." Kelly said, "Just don't just be paralyzed again, I won't be able to first aid." Evelyn raised her head and knocked her hands behind her, spreading her hands and said, "This is not a horror movie."

In the same queue, I also bought tickets for midnight to watch all night, and I also sat in the screening hall and watched the screen waiting to start... These situations were carried out in 3,550 theaters in various cities in North America. A large number of movie fans believed in the brand "Miqi Yang" and were extremely interested and excited about its science fiction production.

Many people have followed the virus marketing along the way, including blog posts, making up as aliens to take photos, searching for letters, solving puzzles, mini games... This is not just promotion, these things are entertainment in themselves. While they are playing, they have developed feelings for "The Ninth District". Many people are used to refreshing Christopher Fosen's blog every day.

The overwhelming slogan posters such as "Human Only" and "Aliens Ban" that have been spread in recent months have infected various cities and batches of ordinary audiences like viruses.

This is not only happening in North America. Fans from all over the world know about "The Ninth District" and are ready to go to the theater to watch it as soon as possible. However, although it is released simultaneously, cities with too large jet lag that even midnight can't catch up will be screened until the next night after the premiere. Hong Kong, Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, South Africa...

Fans around the world are in a state of hunger ready to go.

The premiere of "The Ninth District" was held at the Shenlan Theater in Los Angeles. On the red carpet from afternoon to night, Wang Yang in a suit and Jessica in a light blue evening dress attended. The stars of the movie itself provide special effects to save costs. The actors in "The Ninth District" all choose cheap and good quality, but it also caused no actor except the "addict" Robert Downey Jr. to attract the interest of the media.

So Wang Yang invited a group of friends who are in Los Angeles and have time to help, including Zachary Levi, Tom Willing, Michael Pitt, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johnson, Anne Darren, Michelle Rodriguez... There are also Zach in "The Hangover" who is still unfamous and other funny foursomes who are still not famous, and the gorgeous and sexy Charlize Theron.

The Will Smith family, who had an extraordinary relationship with him, was originally an invited guest, but they did not come because of the more sensitive relationship of the same type of "Man in Black 2"; Natalie Portman, who was in New York, did not come either. It was not because she had anything to do with "Star Wars Prequel 2: The Clones' Attack". It was purely because she didn't want to come here to join in the fun, and Wang Yang didn't care.

As night fell, the red carpet outside the Selangor Theater was empty, with only sporadic passers-by and patrolling security staff, and occasionally vehicles passed by the road outside. At this time, the screening hall of the Selangor Theater was packed, and the crew of the "Ninth District" and the invited guests were all sitting in the front, with family and relatives; a large number of media reporters and film critics in the middle; and a full audience of fans.

The movie is about to be screened, and the sound of low buzzing conversations are still ringing in the theater. Wang Yang, who is in the middle of the front row, looked at the huge screen with his eyes intent. Over the past year, countless scenes flashed on the screen, the prison in New York, the Slum of Soveto... He whispered: "It's not easy." Jessica next to him understood his mood very much. She accompanied him all the way and said: "Yang, tonight belongs to you, and to everyone in the crew of "The Ninth District".

Although she knew what story this was, the details and shots were, she had never watched the theatrical version in advance. He said, "It's interesting to watch it at the premiere." Her face was full of expectations, and she looked at him and smiled: "I'll see the fifth directed film of Fanqi Yang soon!"

"Be careful to be scared." Wang Yang said in a rough voice, dragged her hand and smiled, "I'll monitor you." Robert Downey, who was sitting on the left, took out his ears and interrupted their playful words: "Hey, I'm here, should I praise me for your performance? "

Harry George, wearing a large-size black suit, looked at the screen without blinking, and there were many shots in it. Michel Rodriguez raised the corner of his mouth with interest. She heard Wang Yang say that this movie would be very depressing, but she couldn't understand how a person who could shoot "The Hangover" could be suppressed? The same question was also in the hearts of Zach, Bradley, and Charlize Theron.

In the dark New York City, in the screening room full of people, no one found Queen Padmei, who was "disguised", sitting in it. Natalie, dressed in star-free clothes, wrapped her arms around her chest, leaned on the back of the chair, muttering secretly: "Look at how powerful you are, so mysterious it is, and even the content is unwilling to say."

At this time, the screening room suddenly became quiet, and the trailer was played on the big screen. It was temporarily black, and the time for the screening was up. Natalie suddenly became focused; Evelyn, Claire, countless fans and fans were excited; in the quiet Selangor Theater, the itchy reporters and critics, Donnie, Michelle, Jessica... Everyone looked at the big screen, "The Ninth District" is here!

In the darkness, a moth rushed into the flames. It came to the beautiful pastoral world. Under the blue sky and white clouds, it flapped its wings with colorful lights and danced with beautiful butterflies. After playing the opening animation of the flame movie, 3,550 theaters in North America returned to peace, without sound, and the black scene and white words were changed on the screen: "Director: young-www.piaotian.comccawww.piaotian.comey-jr...."

This direct introduction method is adopted instead of inlaying the cast information into the story because this will minimize the influence.

"We can see that there is a huge alien spacecraft parked in the sky in Los Angeles!" As soon as the main information ended, the first scene was the NBC Channel, a female reporter holding a microphone, said with a serious expression: "It has only been 15 hours since the Nasa discovered its traces. We have no idea what it intends..."

The audience couldn't help but secretly praised the reality of the big spaceship. The special effects of these shots are very textured and there is no cartoonishness at all. Especially the picture gives the Hollywood logo. The spaceship in the sky seems to be very far away and close, giving people the feeling that it has really existed, but this is already known in the trailer.

The following background details were the first time they knew. Although the government called for not panic, many people evacuated Los Angeles, and humans had no idea what to do. Nasa and the military tried to communicate and approach, and the spacecraft seemed to send a distress signal... After months of discussion and public resolutions, it finally decided to force the spacecraft's hatch door... and then rescued the aliens who were about to die. The excited humans cheered and groups of volunteers were busy.

As the screen changes and the story deepens, aliens also turn from pitiful images at the beginning to various ugliness. So human attitudes turn sharply until they are isolated in the first area of ​​the desert. After more than 20 years, it becomes the ninth area. However, Mnu wants to move them to the "better" tenth area. Wiggs, the director of the ninth area played by Robert Downey Jr., led his men into the ninth area with his men under the escort of a team of armored vehicles and helicopters.
Chapter completed!
