The filming footage is full of shaking, but it gives people a strange sense of reality. The edited picture is not long and ends in five or six minutes.

On the sofa in the office lounge area, Harvey Weinstein nodded with satisfaction, but he was not in a hurry. What was going to be broadcast later was the top priority.

"Hello everyone, everyone, I'm Rebecca Leslie, I'm very happy to watch this episode of "Late Night Exploration"..."

After the video ended in just a few minutes, a beautiful blonde host appeared outside a forest, holding a microphone and constantly introducing it.

"The video tape just now was picked up by a farmer from here." Rebecca Leslie pointed to the forest behind him and turned to a stone tablet on the path. "Note that here, this is an ancient stone tablet, which has probably existed for at least a hundred years, with some warning words carved on it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the camera's camera's camera suddenly narrowed, and the carvings on the ancient stone tablet were vaguely visible. "Stay away from the forest! Be careful of the witch!"

Rebecca Leslie reached out to take a stele, turned his head to the camera and said, "No one knew when and who erected this stele. However, in local legends, the earliest time of these things can be traced back to the great immigration period of North America.

According to legend, those witches who were hunted by churches in Europe followed the early immigrants to this continent and hid in the large forests in eastern North America. Even now, legends about witches are still circulating in Talaware, Maryland, Massachusetts and other places!

Many witches’ information and historical stories are still one of the most terrifying legends in the local area, and Blair mentioned in that video tape is one of the most widely circulated witches in our place in the past few decades…”

Witches have always been widely circulated in North America, and the stories of these groups always appear together with horror legends.

Especially on the east coast of North America, there are many legends of witches with a long history, and there are also many people who are interested. Otherwise, everything about witches would not have been like this.

Moreover, in many traditional American horror movies, there are shadows of witches. The kind of stories of witches falling in love with a young man, then exposed their identity, and before being burned to death, they were cursed and killed the entire town, which is always happening one after another.

"The local legend about the witch Blair has also appeared with the disappearance of the townspeople."

On the TV, host Rebecca Leslie was still giving an introduction. "The video tape that just played at the beginning of the show was handed over to us by a farmer after seeing it. In addition to this damaged video tape, there are also the personal belongings and some relics of the three college students who disappeared.

Based on our interview with the townsmen before, we learned that the three young people were always looking for traces of the witch, wanting to find out the secrets of the witch Blair. However, due to the serious damage to the videotape, it is still under emergency repair..."

With a "bang", Harvey Weinstein reached out and turned off the TV, but did not continue watching.

Through the program reports just now, he believes that there will definitely be no fewer people interested in this matter. After all, this type of exploration program usually plays documentaries such as the Bermuda Triangle and the ancient Egyptian pyramids.

Today's pseudo-documentary should create an illusion for many viewers, making the audience in front of the TV believe that all this happened.

"In order to get the witch Blair to appear on this late-night show, we invested more than $2 million in just the money. I hope we can achieve better results."

Bob Weinstein squinted his eyes and looked at his brother and said softly: "But there are only one programs for the whole United States. The remaining twenty or so late night TV stations are all local, and the audience is definitely not as many as ABC."

"That's enough!"

The fat man had a smile on his face. If this wave of bombardment continues, there will definitely be many people who are interested. With the subsequent publicity and guidance, those who are curious about witches will be like a virus, and the more they are infected.

"There is still half a month left in the film. Every step of the publicity plan is very important. Bob, you have to keep an eye on it yourself and you must not make any mistakes!"

"I understand." Bob Weinstein nodded, he knew the importance of this matter.

To promote the film, the two brothers invested all their working capital. They did not have a terrifying net worth like Wayne Greenberg.

Miramax is not their brother either. The major shareholder is Walt Disney, and they do not have much shares in it.

The wealth Harvey Weinstein possesses is very inconsistent with his status in the circle. Miramax started out by making careful calculations and running low-cost movies, and he didn't make much profit.

That's why this fat man envies those high-box movies, such films that often have 100 million or 200 million North American box offices, are almost impossible for Miramax to appear in, and this company cannot invest in such big productions.

The next morning, when all the media and the public were talking about "Batman: The War Moment", which started the summer season, a large number of people were discussing the incident of Blair, the witch who explored the show yesterday. After all, three living lives disappeared into the forest.

Not only did ABC's late-night program report this incident, but more local TV stations also reported it in detail, and both used the videotape as a documentary to play it.

In the first day or two, people just used it as gossip and discussed this matter with friends and family on a small scale, but the subsequent development gradually changed.

When many people are not sure what is going on, a missing person notice appears in various second-stream media, whether it is newspapers, magazines, or radio stations, even Pepsi videotape rental stores across the United States.

"In March 1994, three college students studying film and television brought photography equipment to Boer Town, trying to find and learn about the secrets of the witch and investigate the local legend about the witch Blair. But shortly after they found some clues, the three young people disappeared.

Their family searched for them everywhere, but there was no clue at all. It was not until a broken video tape was picked up. Through the video tape and the relics notes he picked up at the same time, it was not until now that these three young people met the legendary witch.

From the notes they lost, I learned that these three young people not only met the witch, but also had a series of horror things."

When the publicity reached the second stage, the discussion about the witch Blair gradually formed a trend, with various media helping to fuel the fire, which little by little increased the mystery of the matter, and made the North American people feel a lot of curiosity.

There are also many kind-hearted people who spontaneously start promoting this missing person notice, hoping to find the three young people.

Although this trend is getting bigger and bigger and more people are gradually believing in this matter, they have not noticed that the media reporting on this matter are all second-rate tabloids and magazines and radio stations, and there is no authoritative big media.

To put it bluntly, the plan customized by Wayne is not complicated at all. It only allows things to be spread in the form of news in a short period of time through various wide-coverage but cheap publicity channels, creating an illusion for ordinary people that they are real and inspiring these people to spread things to their families and friends around them.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Commercial means of viral marketing usually appear in other commercial fields. This thing can be used in movies and spread on a large scale in the form of deception. This is definitely the first time it has happened.

"The effect is better than we thought!"

The Weinstein brothers have always been watching the development of this matter, especially Bob Weinstein, who is the executor of the entire plan.

Harvey Weinstein nodded. "Okay, we will invest more later and invest all the funds on the Witch Studio's books. It is necessary to ensure that more people look forward to the specific content of the video before the film is released.

Now we must pay attention to confidentiality. We increase the investment of various TV stations to allow them to continue playing the short film, then buy more advertising spaces and publish missing person notices. These are all our bargaining chips for more theaters."

"Leave it to me," said Bob Weinstein.

The mystery of this matter still needs to be maintained now, but as long as you spend more than a week, it doesn't matter in the later stages of the publicity work. This trick will deceive ordinary people and it will not be possible to hide it from the elites in society.

This is especially true for people in the Hollywood circle. It has only been a few days since it was promoted, and many people have already smelled the familiar smell from it. I almost played "The Joker's Resurrection" before, but although it is not so excessive, this execution method is very similar.

In addition to those very sober people, even if ordinary people have some doubts about this, they will still be aroused by curiosity and desire to explore through the lies fabricated by the witch Blair, coupled with the propaganda of the TV station and the spontaneous spread of the people around them.

Time was slowly advancing. Outside the Warner Bros. Studios, Wayne and his group, who had been busy with post-production for a day, were about to get on the bus, suddenly noticed a volunteer and walked towards them.

The girl walked up to them with a large stack of information in her arms. "Sir, ma'am, if you see the three people above, please call the number above. Their family will be crazy, thank you!"

He handed them a missing person notice, and the girl turned around and walked towards another passerby, continuing to distribute the information.

"Boss, it seems that Harvey Weinstein's progress is very fast." After the car started, Nina looked at the missing person notice curiously and said to him.

"Don't worry about this, this has nothing to do with us." Wayne didn't even raise his eyelids, and the plan was almost made by him, and no one knew these things better than him. "We'll just wait and collect the money, and don't worry about how the fat man operates."

The Oscar is coming soon, and the post-production of the film has reached a critical moment. He has no intention of worrying about these bad things. After all, he is just making a quick money.
