On Zhuo Jingsi's side, she thought that since she could not achieve her goal in school, continuing to stay in the laboratory would only bring trouble to Professor Shu. She simply left the school for the time being and ran to her rented house outside the school in a daze.
Hua Ling and Zhong Yue also did not want to go to other people's experimental groups. With Professor Shu's tacit approval, they temporarily put aside their work in the school's laboratory and remained as nominal graduate students.
The matter of converting the five god-tier formulas from formulas into finished products had to be completely put on hold because of this.
However, wanting her to return to the United States to plead guilty and compensate was also a pipe dream. Prince was also well aware of this.
America did not have the ability to extradite such high-level talents from China. The fundamental purpose of Prince's lawsuit was nothing more than a show of force to prevent Zhuo Jingsi from completing the transformation of the results in China and turning Prince's patent into something that belonged to China.
Let's not talk about international relations, but the concept of intellectual property protection must be respected!
Prince's original purpose was only to force Zhuo Jingsi out of China's domestic scientific research institutions, that was all.
Of course, no matter what the final result was, whether it was left unsettled or Zhuo Jingsi compensated for the losses, Zhuo Jingsi's global academic career should basically come to an end.
From now on, unless China's domestic scientific research institutions quietly accepted her, she would no longer have any place in the world, especially in the field of photocatalysis.
In addition, even if she could produce second-class scientific research results in China's domestic scientific research institutions, she would not have any qualifications to sign her name, let alone obtain fame and fortune.
Otherwise, once the results with her name were taken to the world, it would be impossible to obtain any recognition and support.
When she chose to leave the United States with Prince's samples, this outcome was destined.
Originally, Prince had thought that this would be a long and drawn-out battle. He did not expect that he would be able to get the help of a major corporation in Hua Xia. Zhuo Jingsi herself seemed to be exceptionally decisive. When she saw that the situation was not good, she immediately withdrew.
Prince's goal was basically achieved, and Tiansong Water was even more satisfied.
Song Ningyuan felt that he had completely cut off Chen Guang's escape route. No matter what he did now, after four months, if he could not get the support of the new photocatalyst technology, Chen Guang would know that he had no choice but to accept Song Ningyuan's offer. Letting go was the only way out.
Chen Guang couldn't come up with any good ideas for the situation in the country. He sighed. "Forget it. If it's too late, then so be it. Teacher Zhuo, you don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault. If the domestic conditions can't be met, we don't have to force it. "
Hearing this, Zhuo Jingsi still blamed herself. She felt that she had failed to live up to Chen Guang's expectations. She sighed and did not reply.
Chen Guang heard her disappointment and comforted her. "Don't worry. There's still a long way to go. How about this, from now on, you prepare your own laboratory. Even if it takes more time, we can slowly spend money to buy equipment and people. From now on, we can start preparing our own laboratory. This will save you from disputes over intellectual property rights when you use the school's laboratory to produce results."
Zhuo Jingsi's eyes lit up, but she quickly sighed. "But this will cost a lot of money, right? Besides, it definitely won't make it in time for the Tongshan factory. "
Chen Guang said carelessly, "Don't worry, money is not a problem. You haven't seen the recent news, right? There's no harm in telling you. I'm going to make a fortune soon. Let's not talk about an investment of one or two hundred million US dollars. Let's take it slow. We can even spend one billion. The five major formulas represent a market of hundreds of billions of US dollars. As long as we can produce results, any investment is worth it. As for the Tongshan factory, if it's gone, then so be it. It's less than two hundred million. We can afford to lose it. "
Chen Guang silently calculated the North American box office that 'Women' might get. Based on the current situation, he was really confident.
In five hours at the latest, he would be able to see the box office statistics for the second day of release. Without twenty to thirty million US dollars, he would be letting down his 33.8% screening rate and more than 90% attendance rate!
After deducting the theater division's share, the initial forty million US dollars of advertising budget would be fully recovered in five days at the latest.
All that was left was profit!
North American movies could be released for up to three months!
Women had a chance of hitting a billion US dollars at the box office!
By then, his Tianguang Group would have more than three hundred million US dollars!
It was just enough to cover the cost of building a Prince-level laboratory that Zhuo Jingsi had previously estimated!
This was not even considering the domestic box office profits!
This meant that he didn't need to look for financing at all. He could easily build a laboratory that belonged to Zhuo Jingsi and himself.
As for the share of the distribution company that Tang Xiao opened?
Sorry, no!
Sometimes, I'm a miser too!
"Okay, since you think so, I won't say anything else."
Zhuo Jingsi was still a little unwilling, but she didn't insist on it. She chatted with Chen Guang for a bit more and hung up.
Chen Guang also calmed himself down and continued to write.
At one o 'clock in the morning, the North American box office statistics for the second day of release were released.
It was a terrifying number that could be described as historical.
Only then did Chen Guang realize that he had underestimated the explosive power of the North American box office.
He had only estimated the situation of Women based on the box office statistics of other people, but he had forgotten a very important problem.
In the past, although the box office champion of the day also had a screening rate of over 30%, the attendance rate usually didn't exceed 60%. However, today's "Heroine" only had a screening rate of 33.8% at night, but it still had an attendance rate of over 90%.
With just these two peak screenings at night, Women had completed a magnificent turnaround and successfully achieved a perfect counterattack on the second day of release, reaching the top in one fell swoop!
Chen Guang took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
Since the box office had reached the top, the second and third volumes of World School of Performing Arts would be officially released tomorrow. It would officially be the first shot that he had made at the Olympic Games!
Ever since he came to Los Angeles, the Old Man had been low-key for too long.
It was said that a kind person would be bullied, and a kind horse would be ridden.
The Old Man was in a foreign country, and based on the principle of being kind to others, he didn't fight back even when he was scolded. Did you think that he was easy to bully?
You guessed what I was thinking, so you started to cause all kinds of trouble.
Yes, my actions were Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knew it, but I didn't say it out loud, did I?
Did I eat your rice?
You messed with me on the screening schedule!
Messed with me on the premiere guest!
Even called on your fans and audience to boycott me?
Did you really think that I was a sick cat if I didn't show my power?
Damn it! It's time to show my real skills and let you see how I aim for the Oscars!
Tomorrow, I will openly tell all of you that I, Chen Guang, am indeed aiming for the Oscars.
I am going to open the next era of the performing arts. Are you not convinced?
Continue to boycott me?
Can you boycott me?
You are just ants in front of the wheel of history!
Chen Guang reverted to his old ways and muttered all kinds of things in his heart.
In fact, he had completely forgotten one thing. Although he did not openly admit that he was aiming for the Oscars, he really did not have the ability to be low-key.
Finally, at 11: 30 AM on the third day of the screening, Chen Guang let out a long sigh of relief and threw the keyboard away. After 48 hours of fighting without rest, he finally finished the second volume of World School.
He waved his hand and called Lu Xiaoliang and Fang Tianyu over. He threw the USB flash drive containing the script to them and said, "Get to work, guys."
At 1 PM, the box office of the second day of screening in China was released. Women finally made a comeback and reached the top, with a box office of 80 million RMB!
At the same time, the box office statistics for the morning screening in North America were released. The screening rate increased again, reaching 41.2%, and the occupancy rate was still as high as 91.5%!
At 3 PM, the freshly printed first volume and the second volume of World School were out from nearly 100 large printing houses in nearly 50 cities in America and sent to countless newsstands, bookstores, and Amazon's warehouses.
Originally, Chen Guang wanted to provide the electronic version for free, but he was stopped by Fang Tianyu in the end.
At that time, Fang Tianyu said, "Boss, don't be anxious! There are still three months until the Oscars. Just sell the book. People who want to read it will be there sooner or later. You don't have to shoot yourself in the foot. You can't go against money! "
Chen Guang agreed. Now that the box office had turned the tide and there were still three months to build up the reputation, there was really no need to burn money.
"Alright, it's decided. How many copies did you print?"
"Five hundred thousand copies."
"Okay, that's settled then. Tell the printing houses to prepare more copies. I personally think that the total sales in North America can reach five million copies. What about in China?"
"Only a hundred thousand copies. Boss, you know that piracy in China is a bit of a problem, especially on the Internet."
Chen Guang waved his hand. "You worry too much, Fang Tianyu. This is called a reference book. But I write it in a simple way, suitable for all ages. It's a reference book that everyone can read. Acting skills are not only useful for actors, but they are also useful in real life. In addition, you have to consider my popularity in China. I'm afraid my fans will buy more than a million copies. Of course, just considering the fan economy is still a small group. What I really need is a wider audience. Also, what others read on their phones and computers are the kind of boring online novels that I read all day long. A famous book like World School needs to be chewed on slowly and carefully. You even need to take notes while reading. If you don't buy a paper copy and hold it in your hand, you won't be able to read it. "
When Chen Guang said this, his face exuded the brilliance of a great man.
Fang Tianyu didn't even notice that he had become a Fang Tianyu. Our boss has become a cultured man?
"Then, boss, how many copies should we print in China?"
Chen Guang waved his hand. "Ten million copies for the first print!"
"Damn, boss, do you have to be so arrogant?"
Chen Guang flipped his hair. "I can't help it. I'm born to be arrogant. You go ahead with your work. I'm going to take a walk. There's nothing for me to do for now. Let me tell you, ten million copies is just a small target. Well, forget it. It's too arrogant to call the first print of ten million copies a small target. Let's call it a medium target. Let's go! "
After saying that, he turned around and left the temporary office of the Tianguang Group with his head held high.
Now he felt very secure and couldn't find any reason to fail.
A few minutes after Chen Guang left, Lu Xiaoliang came in from outside. Fang Tianyu pulled him over. "Lu Xiaoliang, boss just said that we need to print ten million copies in China? I feel like it's a failure! "
Lu Xiaoliang rolled his eyes at him. "Think about your past. Think about our past. Did the boss make any mistakes in his decisions? Why is your Fang Tianyu still unwilling to be enlightened? "
Poor Fang Tianyu was laughed at by Lu Xiaoliang again. He muttered to himself as he went back to his office and made a call to China.
After hanging up, he looked at the electronic version of Chen Guang's manuscript in front of him and murmured to himself, "Can we really sell ten million copies of the English version in China? We deserve it! "
