Episode 7- Super PR Blitz Go!! Hooooooo, what do we have here, Zapp Brannigan? Something interesting? Ah I see...
~Expectations~
~Reality~ But before we get to that movie, let's turn the clock back a little. Another box has appeared in our labs and is almost instantaneously researched by our award powered scientists. This unlocks FULL TECHNICOLOR FILM. So no more filters, no more black and white, no more some color some black and white!
Naturally, this advanced cutting edge technology is applied to Iron's new Sci Fi film. Despite the war in Europe turning people away from Sci Fi movies and to Comedy, don't forget our 'Trend Setter' bonus for being NUMBUH ONE STUDIO
Judged by Machine- The one where the robot kidnaps the lady! Zapp has never looked better in a clunky box robot costume! At least until the next movie where he's in a clunky box robot costume. A Sci Fi masterpiece by Iron! (Who else?)
I'm very pleased by the ratings. Verrryyyyy pleased. THREE STARS
This release pushes us through our set goals! I am now a 'Respected Studio Head.' Onto the next one!
As a 'reward' for becoming a 'Respected Studio Head', I earn a Publicity Office for our studio adding
another annoying layer of micromanagement more exciting possibilities! Now instead of filming a movie and shipping it out all willy nilly, I have to competently manage how much public exposure a movie gets and the appropriate funding. All through dragging and dropping! Yay!
Slimy and insidous things like
marketing happen here!
As one can see, the previous movie is just kinda...floating there.
Future releases all have to be assigned an appropriate release budget!
Failure to do so will result in penalty!
Iron's previous success with crude looking box robots has inspired him to create another screenplay featuring a crude looking box robot! His kinda not romance kinda not Sci Fi kinda sorta comedy reeks of potential. After all, he is the number two man in Hollywood, right before the lovely Ms. Einst.
Top Charts v Bottom Bin
I tell him to sit on it and chill. Did he not listen to the PR spiel I rambler on about earlier? I throw it in the publicity office so our boys can do some sort of exclusive radio trailer or whatever it is people do in the 1940s world of advertisement.
COMING SOON, YOU POOR FOOLS!
Elsewhere on the lot, Barney and his action boys also disregard my PR advice and begin shooting a movie. Featuring NAZIS! And COWBOYS! Mainly because we're all at war with them. The Nazi's I mean.
This patriotic weirdness is bound to be remembered for it's greatness
PR on Iron's RomSciCom continues as Alfimi gets a taste of *gasp*
Speaking to the press! What does she talk about? The world will never know.
At lease this is a step up than the usual way the media and press interact with her. Bunch of creeps
Creepin' Creepin' Creepin' n da bush
Barney's movie comes back to me and its
dripping with patriotismTime Rifle- Union soldier Abe Lincoln is mysterious sent foward in time to fight nefarious Nazi men Jack Euchre and Zapp Brannigan, before all three are time fluxed into a high noon showdown. GOD BLESS AMERICA
I do a half-assed PR thingy and pick an equally half-assed release budget for such a movie with half-assed publicity. The ratings come in
HOLY SHI-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Yeah....
That's right....
I'm reading that right. 4.2 stars.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo
*Ahem* Filming starts on Iron's thingy after he has sufficiently chilled (read: crammed massive amounts of food and alchol down until the stress went away)
What an interesting crew!
I look at my watch and it tells me that its already 1945! Gee, where does all the time go! That says alot about the time investment in these big complex stories! Compare that to the rapid fire movie production of the 20s. And as always, its off to the award show!
No surprises, I hope.
Yup. The cycle of domination continues. We net the usual 'Best Lot' and 'Top Studio'. Alfimi nets her second 'Highest Charting Star' award. We also net the 'Best Picture' award for the first time since our studio's founding. Old Rope and Rigormortis retain the 'Most Prolific' and 'Highest Rising' awards respectively while Gusset steals the 'Best Employer' award. THOSE FIENDS.
Next time there's a 'Best Direction' award up for grabs. Hmmm. You hear that Iron? Barney? Yessssss..
Our activated bonuses continue to activate
Just in time for Iron to finish filming on his multi genre somthing and I do a couple more PR spins on it before I ship it out.
Love Robo- In something that is absolutely not from Japan, Zapp Brannigan sneaks out of a relationship with Alfimi using a robot that looks nothing like him! A comedy for the ages!
The reviews come back in. 4 STARS!
So this....is...the power....of PR!
Iron and Alfimi get a trailor improvement for their troubles!
Note the presence of Iron creepin' on Alfimi. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?
Lastly, before I go, here's a look at the current state of the studio lot. As usual, NEW SETS!
School's out on this set!
A seedy bedroom for seedy business and seedy sex
A field in the middle of nowhere. EXCITING!
And now for the whole shebang.
The Great Majestic GNEISS PICTURES LOT
NEXT TIME!
Something Spooky?
