Chapter 204:

[3rd January, 2013]

The conference room was filled with people. The meeting was mainly focused to discuss the marketing of the movie release. It was decided to be released on 17th of January.

Among all the important people, Alan, the director of [Catch Me If You Can] was also present. Ever since the meeting started, they had been discussing several things related to [Catch Me If You Can]. People who were in the marketing department, and the PR department was present at the meeting.

A guy, who had a long beard and also was the head of the marketing team in Kron Studio was talking about how they were going to promote the film.

“And as always, the marketing sums up to the talk shows and the number of public interviews. It has become like a drill after every movie, since people love to know about upcoming movies, and it also attracts a lot of crowd every now and then. Not to mention, this will also make people talk about the movie in social media. Apart from that we’d request the actors to spread the word in their social media, and in ours,” The man who was the head of the team said.

Kron studios was known for not using a lot of money in marketing. In fact, it was an average amount of investment which a small budget movie would invest in the marketing process. And the facts about how the marketing process worked in Kron, was known by everyone else in the industry.

It was because how every time, in every movie they would do a minimum amount of marketing and would rely more on word of mouth and actor’s or director’s appeal to sell movies. Even now, they were trying to sell the movie with the support of Leo and Tom Hanks.

Listening to his words, Will thought differently about the entire situation. He was aware that the quality of the movie was great, therefore there’s nothing to be worried about the movie’s box office outcome. But Will thought and knew something different regarding the work

Something Will felt was that Kron was basically living in the past, and using old methods. And he knew that one day, when things drastically changed, this method would not work. Will was someone who believed that a movie should be promoted to the public in an efficient way; a way in which the people could understand and fully embrace the vision of the movie.

“I think it would be easy and simple if we did it that way. But again, it had been how we did things for quite a long time. Don’t you think we should try something new and make a difference?” A guy who sat in front of Will questioned.

Some people nodded at his question, and others kept staring at the man who stood with his beard.

“Not really, what we always do is cost effective. The budget to promote is basically always so limited, and that way we can create more profits. In comparison to other studios, they do the same thing, but add just a bit of stuff more which could go out of hand when we take the budget into consideration,” The head explained while the other man nodded agreeing with him.

“Have you contacted the VFX department asking about the progress of [Spiderman]?”Will questioned.

“Yeah, they are working pretty hard on the movie. But considering it is the biggest CGI work they had ever done, the time they’d take for it might just increase than it is now. Even [Terminator] was easier than this one.” Alexa said.

Hearing her words, a frown appeared on Will’s face.

“It’s alright, they can take as much time as they want, but we need to get the teaser out by the time of the Super Bowl,” Will said, grabbing the attention of Alexa more.

The Super Bowl was a massive event in America. It was an annual playoff championship game of the National Football League. In Will’s previous world, the Super Bowl was an event where even celebrity singers performed, and trailers of famous movies were even released during the event. Basically, the popularity was the same, but the things that attracted the crowd were less than what was in Will’s previous world.

Will wanted to reveal the teaser of [Spiderman] on that day when thousands of people would be present to watch the biggest championship match happen. As it was a place where a huge crowd appeared, and considering the hype the media men give for it, the promotion of [Spiderman] would be the best idea which they could go with.

But, much to Will’s opportunity, that type of marketing during the event was not present—which also meant that Will was the first person to come up with it.

“Yeah, I think we can make arrangements to talk about it with them, they’ll hurry the process just in the favour of the teaser,” Alexa muttered.

“What’s more? How’s the editing for [Hitch] going? Any updates?” Will questioned as the car took a turn to the left of the street.

“I was meaning to talk about this. The process has slowed down.” Alexa said, grabbing Will’s attention.

“Why?”

“Foxtar is trying to get themselves involved in it to not include a few scenes which Carson wanted. It’s becoming hectic in the process of editing, I checked up yesterday,” Alexa said and took a break before saying, “It’s mostly the chairman, Colt who keeps doing that,” She said.

Listening to the words, Will frowned again. ‘What is the deal with him?’ Will thought to himself.
