Chapter 90 090, Horror Movies Are a Must for Couples

Chapter 90 090, horror movies are a necessity for couples~

It was a hastily shot, so naturally there are a lot of areas for improvement.

At Shuichi Itou’s suggestion, several people went to the scene to reshoot some scenes.

Fortunately, none of them were celebrities with busy schedules, so we just got in a car and passed away.

The final length of the film reached 90 minutes, not including the opening and ending credits.

"Naoki-san, after adding the opening and ending, the movie is really almost ready. Have you figured out how to distribute it?"

The opening credits of Shuyou Pictures were already prepared during the production of "Wonderful Stories of the World", but the ending credits were a bit short, and the creative team only had 10 people in total, which was very shabby.

"Otomo-san is talking about it. Several theaters are already willing to try to release it in the night time slot. However, if you want to roll it out across the theater chain, you still need the endorsement of a big company."

"Naoki-san, if necessary, I also have some classmates and university teachers I know in Dentsu."

Although Itou Shuichi is young, he is still a college student who graduated from a formal directing major, and he still has some connections.

However, the past few years were all about commercials, and there was no improvement. Such a young director with a relatively strong self-esteem still has the energy of a literary youth in his heart, and he was embarrassed to contact his seniors and teachers to ask for help.

"Shuichi-san, it is indeed difficult to distribute this movie, so I won't say anything more. If you have any resources, try to use them."

"Hi, then I'll contact you first."

At this time, Naoki Nagayama was also thinking about whether there were other ways. Many of the low-budget movies of later generations relied on high reputation to attract traffic, thereby completing a counterattack at the box office. Can this movie do the same?

The audience for horror films is mostly young men and women.

Not only because most horror movies are released late at night and only young people go to see them so late,

It’s because there’s a saying: Horror movies are a must-have for couples.

For young men and women who are in an ambiguous relationship or have just fallen in love, horror movies are equivalent to emotional catalysts.

As one of the most basic human emotions, fear will make people retreat and instinctively seek help from those around them.

This shows that the frightened party will unconsciously move closer to the other party.

Many frightened girls will crawl into boys' arms.

Of course, if a boy is frightened, he can also crawl into a girl's arms, as long as he is not afraid of being considered a pervert or a pervert.

What if both parties freak out?

That's better!

This is a two-way trip!

At this time, Naoki Nagayama thought of the place where young men and women gathered most - nightclubs.

Promoting publicity in such a place seems to attract many young people.

You can also do a preview screening in advance before the official release to increase the popularity of the film.

Anyway, he is very confident in the quality of the film.

So Nagayama Naoki came to the disco that he hadn’t been to for a long time, and directly approached Araki Shigetomo,

"Maozhi-san, it's been a long time since I've been here. How's the disco doing lately?"

As a boss, it is normal to occasionally care about the business situation.

"Naoki-san, the disco business has been very stable, but for college students, it seems that several similar dance halls have been opened, and they are all under the name of disco."

"Haha, there's nothing we can do. If you see meat, there will always be evil wolves coming over." Nagayama Naoki had already predicted this, "We can let the news out in the future. The DISCO brand is with us. If anyone wants to join If so, it can be negotiated.”

"In the form of a chain store?"

"No, it's a franchise store. They pay the franchise fee, and we provide the brand with guidance on decoration and operation. We can also hold large-scale events simultaneously."

"Eh? Will they also give you money?"

"Yes, who told us to take the lead and build a brand?"

In the eyes of today's young people, this discotheque in Takadanobaba can be said to be the most famous among discotheques, and it is also the oldest. If you have not danced here, you cannot say that you have been to a discotheque.

"Hey, I get it." Shigeru Araki nodded, admiring the young boss's foresight.

After talking about management, Naoki Nagayama started talking about movies.

"Mozhi-san, Halloween is coming in a month. Are there any activities planned in the store?"

"Well," there is still one month left, and of course there is no planning. Generally, discotheque planning is done one week in advance. But if you answer like this when the boss asks, then you should not even think about getting promoted.

"As for Halloween, we actually plan to organize a costume party, a Halloween carnival night."

"It's a drag party, it's not bad~" This is also a relatively conventional activity.

"Mochi-san, if you don't mind, would you like to start promoting it in the store in the first half of Halloween?"

Nagayama Naoki looked into Araki Shigetomo's eyes: "I have a movie here, a horror movie, I want to promote it in the disco, and I also have some preview screening tickets as a bonus, which can be given to frequent guests. "

"Is that so? Of course it is."

Araki instantly understood what his boss meant. Movie promotions were common in live houses, underground concert halls, and bars. This time, there are also preview screening tickets, which is equivalent to giving disco guests an extra benefit. .

In other words, even if the movie is bad, it will not affect the disco.

"Also, if there are other nightclubs or other places where young people gather, if you can help promote it, even if you have to pay some money, that would be great."

"Such a thing is totally fine."

In fact, since Araki Shigetomo became the operator of this disco, the heads of nightclubs and other places often treat guests to meals and share what they have. It is very common to invite the resident band to sing today and help promote your event tomorrow.

Nagayama Naoki gave Araki Shigetomo 10% of the profits and almost all the rights to daily operations. Araki Shigetomo can be said to have lived a very chic year.

"Then I'll leave it to Mochi-san. The posters and other related materials will be sent to you later."

"Hi!"

This time, Naoki Nagayama is using the idea of ​​surrounding the city from the countryside again.

Rely on early publicity to build a reputation among young people.

Another preview will let some young people who often go to nightclubs know the quality of the film.

In October, some screenings will be arranged in some agreed cinemas. It would be best if it can create a hunger marketing effect.

Then during Halloween at the end of the month, it would be best if it can be rolled out on a large scale. If not, at least it can be rolled out in Tokyo cinemas.

For Naoki Nagayama and his team, as long as this movie can have box office success, it will be profitable!

In the afternoon,

we drove to the studio,

Naoki Nagayama found a group of staff members huddled in a projection room,

Idou Shuichi, Yoshimura Otomo, three wild cats, and two shooting assistants, Komori Masataka and Inada Masatami, were all staring at the screen,

Naoki Nagayama walked in and patted an assistant on the shoulder: "Masataka-kun, what are you doing?"

But unexpectedly, Komori Masataka was frightened and screamed "Ah", and almost fell on Inada Masatami,

You two don't have any weird relationship, right? !

Others in the screening room were also frightened:

"What, why is Naoki suddenly so scary?" "That's right, people are so scary." "I was really scared just now."

Naoki Nagayama knew that they were all watching a horror movie.

"Hahaha, who told you to watch a movie without me? How is it, is the movie good?"

Yoshimura Otomo said: "It's really scary. I definitely don't dare to watch it at night."

Katagiri Ayano, the most lively of the three kittens, laughed: "Otomo-san missed the essence. Horror movies are fun to watch at night."

"Can you be a little more considerate of me, an old man?"

Idou Shuichi said to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, the opening and ending credits have been added, and this "Paranormal Activity" is finished."

"Hey, Shuichi-san, you worked hard."

Seeing that several people were about to discuss, the others walked out of the screening room.

"Otomo-san, I'll ask Shigetomo Araki to help promote it in discos and nightclubs. How about movie theaters?"

"There are already three movie theaters in Tokyo that are willing to give us a chance, but we're only trying to schedule it for a week."

"Tape, as long as we can get a spot, we'll try to negotiate with other theaters. If that doesn't work, we can lower the price. As long as it's not free, as long as we can get it on the stage, it's profitable for us."

"Shuichi-san? What about you?"

"My friend at Dentsu promised to help with the promotion, but my university teacher wants to see the movie first."

"Then make a copy of the movie and bring it to your teacher. Have you completed the copyright registration?"

"Hey, it's done."

"That's fine. We need to hurry up with the promotional posters and other materials. Halloween is not far away."
