Some are happy and some are sad.
This world is so real.
When "Final Destination" brought heavy losses to the aviation and other industries in the United States, and these industries regarded "Final Destination" as a thorn in their side, the insurance industry was very keen to see the business opportunities.
Yes!
They suddenly realized that it would be a very exciting thing if the opening advertisement and the ending credits of this movie contained the advertising slogan of their insurance company.
Although "Final Destination 1" is no longer possible, what about "Final Destination 2"?
After seeing the heart-pounding suspense left at the end of the first act of "Final Destination 1", anyone could tell that "Yongyuan" was planning to shoot "Final Destination 2"!
As a result, all these insurance companies opened their eyes red and greedily as if they had seen some prey. They immediately used various connections to contact Lu Yuan to inquire about the filming of "Final Destination 2"...
They want to buy advertising space for "Final Destination 2" and they want to seize the opportunity!
…
"Mr. James, in fact, our Traveler Insurance Company has always had a close relationship with our Remote. Many leading actors have been insured by Traveler. So, after careful consideration by our company, and my personal respect for Mr. Lu Yuan's talent and Director James' talent, I hope we can have a closer cooperation. What do you think?"
“…”
"Mr. James, Mr. Lant from our FLY company admires your talent very much and is also quite interested in Final Destination 2, so Mr. Lant really hopes to have dinner with you. I wonder when you are free, Mr. James?"
“…”
"Mr. James, Mr. Aier from our Tai Ping An Insurance Company hopes to have a good chat with you about Final Destination 2. If possible, he hopes to have a certain opportunity to cooperate with the crew. At the same time, our philosophy is..."
“…”
As soon as the crew of "Final Destination 2" was preparing, these insurance company managers called James to invite him.
Although their excuses are varied, they all reveal one message.
That is...
If possible, they hope to buy advertising space for "Final Destination 2"!
Why don’t you invest in Final Destination 2?
nonsense!
All of Lu Yuan's movies since his debut have been invested in by Lu Yuan personally or his company. Unless Lu Yuan is willing, they know that they will never have the opportunity to invest in "Final Destination 2".
So they had to settle for the next best thing and just get the advertising spot for Final Destination 2!
Think about it!
If their insurance company's advertising logo and slogan appear in movies with all kinds of unexpected accidents, wouldn't their insurance company's business soar like crazy and directly crush its competitors?
after all……
Insurance companies are just selling crises, aren’t they?
And doesn’t the movie “Final Destination” fit their theme perfectly?
After receiving this series of calls, James found that his plan of making the movie "Final Destination 2" to start with a negative and then rise was suddenly shattered.
There seemed to be an invisible trend that pushed out "Final Destination 2" right when "Final Destination 1" just became popular!
Hey, you can't even keep a low profile!
Since it is impossible to keep a low profile, then just deny all previous publicity plans of first suppressing and then promoting, and just make a high-profile debut like "Titanic"!
"An announcement: Due to strong requests from many companies, the Final Destination series will officially open an ad space auction, and the time is set to be tomorrow on the EBY network..."
After getting Lu Yuan's consent, James followed suit and without saying a word, he directly listed "Final Destination 2" as a commodity on his personal Twitter and auctioned the only advertising space for "Final Destination 2".
…
"What? Is this guy crazy? Auctioning advertising space? What kind of company would be interested in a movie like this?"
"Mr. Lawrence, according to the information I received, many insurance companies are interested in this movie, and they seem to be scrambling to buy it... The top ten insurance companies in the United States have all signed up to participate in tomorrow's auction!"
"Insurance company?"
"Yes, the latest data shows that although many companies have been affected by Final Destination, the ground transportation and insurance businesses have experienced a small boom in the past few days. The number of people buying various accident insurance policies has increased by 20% compared to last month. At the same time, the ground transportation business..."
“…”
San Francisco International Airport Office.
Lawrence took a sip of coffee and almost spit it out when he saw James' tweet.
"Final Destination" has dealt a heavy blow to their airline, and its performance has hit a record low in recent days.
After hearing his assistant telling Lawrence about the sales business of the top ten insurance companies in the United States in the past few days, Lawrence suddenly felt extremely fucked up and felt like he was screwed.
We are crying here and the whole department is in chaos, while you guys are making a lot of money over there...
Especially after seeing that the ground transportation business was also booming, Lawrence felt a little unbalanced.
but……
What can he do?
He is also desperate!
I can only continue to be so unbalanced and pray that this storm will end soon.
…
"Director James, what's wrong with you? We have known each other for so many years, are you doubting my financial ability now? Do you look down on me and think that I can't afford your advertising space?"
"Mr. Tefal, that's not what we meant. Really, our advertising auction this time is aimed at the insurance industry."
"The auto industry is not okay? Director James, given your relationship with Mr. Lu Yuan, can't you ask Mr. Lu Yuan to reserve an ad space for me? How about this, whatever price their insurance company finally agreed to, we at Tefu will also ask for an ad space at that price!"
"Mr. Turf..."
"Director James! We are friends, you wouldn't refuse to help me with even this little favor, right?"
"Mr. Tefal, that's not what I meant. I'm doing this for your own good!"
"What? You're saying this for my own good?"
The advertising space for "Final Destination 2" has entered the auction process, and almost all of the top ten insurance companies in the United States have signed up.
Then……
Among them, he signed up to get into a car company called Teflon.
When James saw this company, his expression changed, and he eliminated it without saying a word.
As soon as the case was eliminated, Tefu, the chairman of Tefu Motors, immediately called James angrily to question him.
A thousand horses were running through James' heart.
It's normal for insurance companies to come here. "Final Destination 2" will definitely bring them good benefits, but what the hell is your intention, Tefu Auto Company?
Do you think your company is making too much money and want to do some reverse publicity?
James's expression was very interesting when he thought that the script of "Final Destination 2" would begin with a series of car crashes.
"Mr. Turf, please listen to me..."
"Director James, I don't want to hear anything else. Today, I hope you can help me get an advertising space, otherwise, we will no longer be friends. It's not that I can't afford it..." James' attitude made Tefu feel that he was despised, so without saying anything, he explained the financial strength of his company in various ways, and his words were very excited.
"Mr. Teflon, the first accident in Final Destination 2 was a series of car crashes..." After James listened to Teflon's words patiently, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you...what?"
"The first accident was a pileup..."
“…”
“…”
The other end of the phone.
Tefal's voice was dull for a moment.
After about thirty seconds...
Tefal's voice rang out with even more agitated cursing.
…
"What? Final Destination is still being filmed, and Final Destination 2 is planning to hold an ad auction? Wait, Final Destination 2 is about to start filming?"
"According to the information I heard, some large props for the Final Destination 2 crew seem to have been prepared..."
“What? Are you really planning to film Final Destination 2? But I’m actually looking forward to it, after all, Final Destination 1 is such a classic!”
"yes!"
"But what's even more strange to me is that wasn't Titanic going to hold a worldwide audition? Why is there no sound now?"
"Didn't 'remote' mean it was postponed to October 20th?"
“October 20th? Postponed again? Well, this is really Lu Yuan’s personal style… However, I am still very interested in how much the advertising space of Final Destination 2 can be sold for.”
"Me too... I guess it's about three million!"
"I guess four million!"
“…”
“…”
On the Internet.
All netizens discovered one thing.
That is...
The audition for Titanic was postponed again.
Lu Yuan stood them up again.
All right!
Can you even stand up someone for doing this?
Netizens were shocked at first, but then calmed down.
The original recipe, the familiar taste, if Lu Yuan could be on time, then he wouldn’t be Lu Yuan…
put off……
I understand!
After all, wasn’t that world-renowned Vienna concert also canceled?
So, it is quite normal to stand someone up.
Netizens are used to it!
Then, they set their sights on the auction of advertising space for Final Destination 2...
In the early morning of the 18th, people had already begun predicting the final transaction price for the online auction of advertising space for "Final Destination 2"!
More than 80 percent of netizens believe that the advertising space for "Final Destination 2" will eventually be auctioned off for four million U.S. dollars.
Ten percent of netizens thought it was less than four million dollars, while another ten percent guessed an astonishing price of six million dollars!
After all, selling an ad space for $4 million is already pretty impressive, and if it goes up further...
It will be very difficult.
The advertising price for the previous "Titan" was only six million.
It’s impossible for Final Destination 2 to reach six million, right?
but……
When EBY Mall directly revealed the starting price, all netizens were shocked instantly!
"What! Oh my God, am I seeing things?"
“Is this the starting price?”
"this……"
"Six million?"
"????"
