Online Packaging: Micro-Campaigning Hollywood

I woke up this morning with an idea. I mentioned this in a previous journal entry. About the term ‘packaging’. It’s when someone gathers all the necessary elements, actors, etc who would perform in a film and with enough interest, they build the film.

Well, I have no Hollywood influence whatsoever. All I have is a book that is purchased up to 5-10 times a day that gets great reviews from time to time. So I had this idea …

What if I just gradually campaigned for the whole cast and crew … my fantasy list … of people who would play, direct … hell, even write the screenplay … the entire movie to Butta’? Let’s flesh this out…

Goal:

To get talented Hollywood people who want a good story to option Butta’ as a film and eventually make it to Hollywood.

Execution:

Daily subtle Tweeting, online posts, etc ‘suggesting’ (star, director, producer, etc) to direct/act/perform as one of the characters. Nonstop. Constistently. Not enough to be a pain, but enough that it seeps into the  consciousness.

Projection:

Allowed for time for Google and other search engines to capture and when ‘X’ celebrity or director is mentioned, suddenly that ‘suggestion’ pops up connected to that person. Enough times that the right people will eventually read the book, at the very least (.99 cents … come on! Win-win)…and by the time the second book comes out,it makes even more sense. Ideally, some sort of response or connection happens 1-2 years at most. Possibly less if I connect the dots correctly.

Method:

For instance … F.Gary Gray is first choice as director. Meagan Good is Prime Choice to play Butta‘. I just made a category here for her name and ‘Butta’ movie’. Also made tags for it and Mr. Gray. this journal entry is tweeted. This journal entry also shows up online almost everywhere in short time. Especially later on when you Google ’Meagan Good’, eventually. She pops up … my occasional posts “Meagan Good as Butta’” suddenly appear everywhere.

Somebody asks maybe even Meagan herself … ‘Who is this Butta’?’ …. The link is conveniently there…”Oh look, it’s only .99 cents and it’s HOT! Gottta pass this to my agent … agent passes to, I don’t know … F. Gary Gray … wheels spin and I get a call or email:

Stop and desist! 

LOLOLOL… Jokes ….. “Corey, come to hollywood. We wanna talk ‘Butta‘”

And I cry for about a day. Tears of joy, I’m sure.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

And so …. it begins

@meagangood is Butta‘
