Chapter 976: Chapter 891: Emoji Pack Marketing Chapter 976: Chapter 891: Emoji Pack Marketing In early August, with “Split” having completed final editing, the pre-release promotion was in full swing.
First, the production team held a morial event on the first anniversary of Billy Milligan’s death.
The related promotional articles also provided detailed introductions to Billy Milligan himself.
Then, Martin established a Psychiatric Therapy Charity Foundation, announcing that a portion of the net inco from his $20 million salary would be donated to help those suffering from dissociative identity disorder.
“When I was preparing for ‘Split,’ I visited five psychiatric therapy centers and personally t with dozens of patients,” Martin said solemnly to the cara, speaking into the microphone, “They look healthy on the outside but are plagued by stubborn ntal issues. Having portrayed characters in ‘Split,’ I gained firsthand insight into their struggles, which is why I want to help them as much as I can.”
His words openly spoke of helping others but were covertly a promotion for the film and its roles. The reporters understood and quickly asked, “Did you also suffer similar tribulations while playing this role?”
Martin spoke as if it were all true, “The film primarily features seven different personalities. Each ti I portrayed one, I had to go through a massive transformation. Just acting alone nearly caused a nervous breakdown; I can’t imagine the imnse pain the patients have endured…”
The focus of the press conference wasn’t on how to help those with dissociative identity disorder; the topic was almost entirely centered around the movie “Split.”
Louise also announced on behalf of the crew that 5 percent of the North Arican box office earnings would be donated to the Psychiatric Therapy Charity Foundation that Martin had just established.
Film promotion, after all, needs a variety of tricks to attract attention.
After the press conference, Martin got into the car that Bruce had sent for him.
Old Cloth had completely wrapped up his itinerary in Europe, sold off all his acquisitions in Ukraine, and the funds had been transferred to his company registered in the Cayman Islands.
It was a feast with multiple participants, and after all expenses and profits were accounted for, Martin’s company in the Cayman Islands ended up with $2.7 billion.
Most of this, Martin planned to invest, targeting new funding rounds for Tesla and Netflix.
The forr’s market value had yet to break through $50 billion, while the latter was hovering around $35 billion.
Although Martin wasn’t certain about the specific market value changes, he had so impression, and it was far from the peak period for both companies.
Abundant funds were also the guarantee for Martin’s spending power.
Back at his Burbank studio, his agent Thomas was already waiting there to confirm Martin’s schedule, “Alexandrovich arrived in Washington yesterday and is expected to be in Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon for a eting with you.”
Finally facing the eting, Martin said directly, “I’m free tomorrow afternoon; it all depends on his schedule.”
This eting wasn’t a private one, but an official exchange between the Ukrainian cultural delegation and representatives of Los Angeles’s film and television industry.
Thomas said, “I’ll reply to Washington right away.”
The next afternoon, the Ukrainian cultural delegation led by Alexandrovich and Orlina arrived in Los Angeles, holding a grand exchange event with representatives from Los Angeles’s political, business, cultural, and sports sectors.
Martin and Elizabeth Olsen appeared at the event.
Elizabeth, looking at the short man in the crowd, said, “I never imagined that the codian I t two years ago would actually beco the president of a country.”
She turned to Martin, lowering her voice, “Dear, what you have done is astounding.”
Martin, however, remained calm, “Even without , the likelihood is he would still have beco president, perhaps a few years later.”
Elizabeth believed Martin’s judgnt, “When I first t him, I felt that he was a very ambitious actor.”
Martin reminded, “They’re coming over.”
Alexandrovich and Orlina approached.
The four exchanged handshakes, and Alexandrovich invited Martin to chat privately for a mont.
The two entered a lounge.
Alexandrovich said with a smile, “Martin, I’ve always wanted to thank you in person for your strong support, and today I finally got the opportunity.”
Martin smiled, “Don’t ntion it; you’ve given a generous return.”
As Alexandrovich had entered politics, it was impossible for the two to interact as they had before.
After a fifteen-minute chat, the eting ca to an end.
Alexandrovich extended an invitation, “You’re welco to co to Kiev again.”
Martin shook his hand, “If the ti and opportunity are right, I’ll make the trip again.”
With Alexandrovich’s election, the series “Servant of the People” concluded its second season.
Martin’s collaboration with Alexandrovich was, for the ti being, at an intermission.
While the two n were eting, Elizabeth and Orlina also had a brief conversation.
Now transford into a business powerhouse, Elizabeth handled the occasion with ease.
After the exchange event, there was a reception dinner held by the California governnt. Martin and Elizabeth didn’t return to the mansion until after ten at night.
Lily ca out of the studio and, seeing the Ukrainian gifts Martin had brought back, comnted, “A governnt made up of codians and producers, is that reliable?”
Martin thought for a mont and then said, “Maybe it will bring a drama to the whole world?”
Elizabeth interjected, “Not all codians; one was a forr world boxing champion.”
