Chapter 980 -893: Full Mobilization
As the premiere of “Split” commenced, Disney Studios and Davis Studio ramped up their promotional efforts for the film, focusing especially on word-of-mouth marketing.
The emphasis was on the leading role played by Martin.
Every major film website and entertainment publication was filled with reports and promotional articles about “Split.”
“Martin’s new work ‘Split’ will show you what explosive acting is all about!”
“With 24 personalities portrayed, Martin Davis delivers an unparalleled performance, showing the world what an extraordinary act looks like.”
“‘Split’ is not only a movie about dissociative identity disorder, but a suspense thriller exploring human nature and challenging the psychological limits of its audience.”
The public praises were almost unanimous, sparking the interest of many movie fans.
Subsequently, David Fincher was interviewed by Hollywood Reporter, mainly discussing his work on “House of Cards Season 2” for Netflix, and the soon-to-be widely released “Split.”
“Since I started directing, ‘Split’ has been the easiest film to shoot.”
Having won the Academy Award for Best Director, David Fincher knew how critical Martin’s role was. When faced with media interviews, he also highlighted Martin: “The real challenge during filming was the lead actor’s performance. As you’ve seen, Martin did an exceptionally splendid job, giving ‘Split’ its true soul.”
Not just David Fincher, but other crew members also lavishly praised Martin.
If only the film crew praised him, the promotional effect might have been average, but with rave reviews all over the media, when the film officially premiered, it drew large crowds into theaters.
“Split” offered more than just a cursory glance at personality shifts. Under David Fincher’s direction, it included a plot as dark as a religious ritual.
The seven battling personalities of the lead character eventually led to the emergence of a murderous persona.
The chilling “soul cooking” scene, and the last supper of the protagonists, left the audience shivering.
Those who had seen “Split” felt that the film was worth the ticket price, not a penny wasted.
For fans of this style of film, watching the movie was exhilarating.
Similarly dark-themed, “Batman v Superman” received terrible reviews, whereas “Split” earned nearly unanimous praise.
Just on its opening day in North America, the internet and social media were flooded with positive reviews.
“After watching this film, my perception of Martin was almost overturned. I used to think he was only slightly better than Leonardo, but now I think even the word ‘exquisite’ doesn’t suffice for Martin!”
“Folks, it’s totally worth watching Martin take on eight different roles in one show!”
“This movie, under David Fincher and Martin’s helm, delivered a dual shock of plot and performance. To describe it, I’d use Quentin’s foreign word—awesome!”

“I’m not a fan of Martin Davis, but I must say, if you like psychological thrillers, then ‘Split’ is definitely worth watching. This movie will take you into a world full of unknowns and thrillers, challenging your psychological threshold.”
Excellent audience reviews brought in high attendance rates.
On Friday, with no competitors, “Split” dominated North American cinemas. By midnight, the precise box office numbers had already been released.
Anya Taylor Joy stood on her bedroom balcony, gazing at the stars, waiting for something.
Her manager Julia rushed in from outside, phone in hand, exclaiming as she walked, “Anya, my dear, congratulations! You were amazing!”
Anya turned around and asked Julia, “Are the numbers out?”
Julia, leaning on the balcony railing, showed her the tablet displaying the numbers from a website; behind the name “Split” was a long string of figures.
Anya clutched her chest to prevent her heart from pounding out of her chest, carefully counting the digits—a total of eight!
“$25,250,000!” Anya spoke with a noticeable tremor, extremely excited, “It’s fantastic, my debut film as a leading actress has been a massive success!”
Julia, not wanting her to get carried away, intentionally reminded her, “Technically, it’s a supporting role!”
It was a one-man show for Martin, but Anya didn’t see it that way: “Throughout the entire pre-release promotional period, I was the lead actress.”
Julia, stopping while she was ahead, smiled and said, “Okay, lead actress, congratulations on becoming the lead in what will be a super blockbuster. Your future is secure.”
Anya directly stated, “As long as I’m with Martin, my future is guaranteed.”
“Honest power players like Martin in Hollywood are rare,” Julia had done her homework on Martin’s past, “With him, at least your efforts will be rewarded.”
Anya said, “I’ve agreed with Martin that I’ll be his lover in peace until I’m 25, trading seven years of my youth for career development.”
Julia cautioned, “You really need to think this through.”
Anya struck an S pose and replied, “Besides my youth and my body, I have no other capital.”
Julia advised, “Do well in ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ next, and try to get more exposure with the audience and media.”
Anya responded, “I’ll make Martin even more pleased; he has also recommended a role for me.”
…
As the number of viewers who watched the film rapidly increased, “Split’s” reputation and ratings inevitably slid, but it didn’t face a debacle like “Batman v Superman.”
