Chapter 90: Horror movies are a rigid demand for couples~

The filming that was done in a hurry naturally has many places that need improvement.

Under the suggestion of Shuichi Ito, several people also went to the scene to film some shots.

Fortunately, they are not stars with busy schedules. They just got on a car and went there.

The duration of the final film reached 90 minutes, which is not yet added with the opening and ending.

"Naoki-san, after adding the opening and ending, the movie is really almost done. Have you thought about how to distribute it?"

The opening of Tree Friend Films was already done during "World's Fantastic Stories", but the ending was a bit short. The creative team had a total of no more than 10 people, which was very shabby.

"Otomo-san is talking about it. Currently, several movie theaters are willing to try to release it in the night file, but if you want to spread the whole line, you still need the endorsement of a big company."

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

Although Shuichi Ito is young, he is after all a college student who graduated from a regular director major, and he still has some connections.

However, the commercials filmed in the past few years have no improvement. Such a young director with a relatively strong self-esteem and a literary youth spirit is embarrassed to contact seniors and teachers to ask for help.

"Shuichi-san, the distribution of this movie is indeed difficult. I won't say much. If you have any resources, try to use them."

"Hai, then I will also contact and see."

And Naoki Nagayama is also thinking about whether there are other ways. Many low-budget movies in later generations rely on high word-of-mouth to attract "self-coming water", thereby completing the box office counterattack. Can this movie also do it?

The audience of horror movies is mostly biased towards young men and women.

This is not only because most horror movies will be released late at night, and only young people will go to watch them so late,

It is because there is a saying: horror movies are a rigid demand for couples.

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

As one of the most basic emotions of human beings, fear will make people shrink, thereby instinctively looking for people around them for help.

The performance is that the party who is scared will unconsciously lean towards the other party.

Many girls who are scared will drill into the boy's arms.

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

What if both are scared?

That's even better!

This is a two-way rush!

Naoki Nagayama thought of the place where young men and women are most concentrated—nightclubs.

Doing publicity in such a place seems to be able to attract many young people.

You can also do a preview 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 Naoki Nagayama came to the disco that he hadn't been to for a long time and went directly to Shigechi Araki.

"Shigechi-san, I haven't been here for a long time. How is the disco business recently?"

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

"Naoki-san, the disco business has been very stable. However, in the college student sector, it seems that several similar dance halls have been opened, and they are all in the name of disco."

"Haha, there is no way. Seeing meat, there will always be evil wolves coming." Naoki Nagayama had a prediction about this, "In the future, you can release news that the DISCO brand is on our side. If anyone wants to join, it can be discussed."

"Is it a chain store form?"

"No, it's a franchise store. They pay the franchise fee, we give the brand, we can give them guidance on decoration and operation, and large-scale activities can also be held synchronously."

"Eh? Will they give money like this?"

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

In the eyes of current young people, this disco in Takadanobaba can be said to be the most famous among discos, and it is also the earliest. If you haven't been here to dance, you can't say you have played in a disco.

"Yes, I know." Shigechi Araki nodded, admiring the foresight of this young boss.

After talking about the business, Naoki Nagayama began to talk about the movie.

"Shigechi-san, Halloween is coming in a month. Does the store have any activities planned?"

"This," there is still a month, of course, there is no plan. Generally, disco plans are planned a week in advance. But if you answer like this when the boss asks, then you don't want to be promoted...

"For Halloween, we actually plan to organize a costume party, Halloween Carnival Night."

"Costume party, not bad~" This can also be considered a relatively conventional way of activity.

"Shigechi-san, if you don't mind, can you start promoting it in the store in the two weeks before Halloween?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Shigechi Araki's eyes: "I have a movie here, a horror movie, and I want to promote it in the disco. There are also some preview tickets as benefits, which can be given to guests who often patronize."

"Is that so! Then of course you can."

Shigechi Araki instantly understood the boss's meaning. Movie promotion, livehouses, underground music halls, bars often have it. This time, there are preview tickets to send, which is equivalent to giving guests of the disco an extra benefit.

In other words, even if the movie is very bad, it won't affect the disco.

"In addition, Shigechi-san, if there are other places where young people gather, such as nightclubs, if you can help promote it, even if you want some fees, it is very good."

"Such things are no problem at all."

In fact, since Shigechi Araki became the operator of this disco, the people in charge of places like nightclubs often invite guests to dinner, communicate with each other, invite resident bands to sing today, and help promote your activities tomorrow, which are all very common things.

Naoki Nagayama gave Shigechi Araki 10% of the revenue and almost all the authority of daily operation. Shigechi Araki has been very chic this year.

"Then I will trouble Shigechi-san. Posters and other related materials will be sent over later."

"Hai!"

Naoki Nagayama is thinking about the idea of surrounding the city from the countryside again.

Relying on early publicity to make a name among young people,

Then have a preview, let some young people who often go to nightclubs know the quality of the film,

Arrange some sessions in some movie theaters in October, and it is best to create a hunger marketing effect,

Then during the Halloween period at the end of the month, it is best to spread it on a large scale. If it doesn't work, at least it can be spread in Tokyo's movie theaters.

For Naoki Nagayama and the others, this movie, as long as there is box office, it is profitable!

Afternoon,

Driving to the studio,

Naoki Nagayama found a group of staff huddled in a screening room.

Shuichi Ito, Otomo Yoshimura, together with the three wild cats and the two filming assistants, Masataka Komori and Masami Inada, were staring at the screen.

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

However, I didn't expect Masataka Komori to be scared and "Ah" a sound, almost rushing to Masami Inada.

Don't you two have any strange relationship?!

Others in the screening room were also scared:

"What's the matter, Naoki-san, why scare people suddenly..." "Yes, yes, people scaring people is scary..." "I was really scared just now."

Naoki Nagayama knew that they were all watching horror movies.

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

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

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

"Can you guys be a little considerate of this old man..."

Shuichi Ito said to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, the opening and ending have been added. This 'Paranormal Activity' is finished."

"Hai, thank you for your hard work, Shuichi-san."

Seeing that a few people were about to discuss, others walked out of the screening hall one after another.

"Otomo-san, I asked Shigechi Araki to help with publicity in the disco and nightclub. How about the movie theater?"

"3 movie theaters in Tokyo are willing to give opportunities, but they only try to arrange a week."

"Daijoubu, as long as you can arrange it, try to talk to other movie theaters. It's okay to lower the price if it doesn't work. As long as it's not free, as long as it can be on the field, it's profitable for us."

"Shuichi-san? What about you?"

"Friends in Dentsu promised to help with publicity, but the teachers in the university want to see the movie effect before talking."

"Then copy a movie and take it to your teacher. The copyright registration has been done, right?"

"Hai, it has been completed."

"Then there is no problem. Subsequent publicity posters and other materials must be seized. Halloween is not far away." ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
