"Steven? Which Steven? "
"The most famous guy in Hollywood," Chen Zhao said.
"Mr. Chen, can you really insert our beer brand into Mr. Steven's new movie?"
"No problem."
Denver didn't expect Chen Zhao to have such a wide network.
He'd heard that a five-second advertisement in Steven's movie would cost at least tens of millions of dollars.
Moreover, it depended on the size of the brand.
Not everyone could spend money to do it.
Every manufacturer that could do it in Steven's new movie was a first-tier brand.
Actually, according to normal business rules, even though Chen Zhao was the investor of the movie, he still had to pay if he wanted to do an advertisement.
However, this movie was completely Chen Zhao, Steven, and Rasfa's playful work.
Whether the movie would make a profit or not, they would decide it themselves.
Chen Zhao would provide the cheating tools, Steven would be in charge of filming and editing, and Rasfa would be in charge of distribution.
The movie hadn't been released yet, but it was already in PLM's distribution list.
Since the producer and producer of the movie didn't belong to the Big Six, PLM's commission was quite high, as high as 15%.
Even with Steven's name as a guarantee, PLM still asked for a high commission.
This couldn't be helped. Hollywood had always been controlled by the Big Six.
Even as PLM's chairman, Rasfa didn't have the right to decide how much the film would be distributed.
However, with PLM's powerful network, the movie could earn at least 4,500 screens in the first three days when it was released in North America. They were still negotiating the distribution with the cinemas.
Chen Zhao and Steven didn't need to discuss this. PLM would naturally help them.
After all, PLM was the distributor. These were all things they had to do.
The investment for the movie was around 60 million dollars. Including the publicity fees, the total investment would be around 100 million.
If it was just the North American box office, it would have to be above 220 million dollars to make a profit.
Even though the box office was in the hundreds of millions, it was actually rare for an original movie to exceed 200 million in North America. It was even rarer than 100 million.
Even Steven couldn't guarantee that the movie would make a lot of money.
Even if Steven's previous "Sea of Fury" did shock Hollywood, no one could guarantee that Steven could create a second miracle.
Of course, Hollywood movies didn't just rely on box office to make money.
If they only relied on box office profits, 95% of Hollywood movies would lose money.
If it was a superhero movie, most of them still had to rely on peripherals, such as figurines and props.
However, Steven's new movie did not have any side effects.
Therefore, other than the box office, the only way to make money was through the sale of various copyrights, related books, adaptation rights, and DVD sales.
Denver didn't send the ticket to Chen Zhao. Instead, he came to Chen Zhao's house personally.
When he saw Steven chasing after Gerlyn, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
"Hello, Mr. Steven."
"Hello, you are?" Steven looked at Gerlyn who had already run far away, and stopped in his tracks rather unwillingly.
"I'm Denver, Mr. Chen's partner." Denver didn't think of herself as Chen Zhao's employee or subordinate.
"Hello."
"I heard from Mr. Chen that you can help us market our beer brand in the movie. Is that true?"
"Yes, I'm very close to Chen. We don't need to discuss such a small matter. Just give me the logo." Steven glanced at Chen Zhao in the front yard.
"Come here and do me a favor." Steven suddenly lowered his voice.
Denver froze for a moment, then followed behind Steven.
Steven went to the kitchen and opened Chen Zhao's fridge. "Help me carry this piece of meat to my car."
"Huh?" Denver was dumbfounded.
Why did it feel like Steven was stealing?
Fine, he'd listen to Steven for now.
But this piece of meat was really heavy.
After the two carried it to the car, Steven went in and carried some ingredients.
"Tell Chen that I have something to do, so I won't be eating here." Steven was indeed a thief.
Just as Steven was about to drive away, Chen Zhao discovered him.
"Asshole, you stole from my fridge again."
Without looking back, Steven drove away. Chen Zhao chased after him.
"Asshole, give it back …"
Steven stuck out his middle finger from the window.
Chen Zhao chased for a few hundred meters, but in the end, he could only watch Steven's car drive away with hatred.
Denver was dumbfounded, but he could tell that Chen Zhao and Steven were very close.
Seeing Chen Zhao return, Denver felt awkward too.
After all, he was Steven's accomplice in stealing.
"Mr. Chen, I have something to do." Denver left awkwardly.
But he really didn't understand. With Steven's status, did he still need to steal from Chen Zhao's fridge?
To him, it was just a friend's joke.
Denver was more and more convinced that Mountain Beer would be a success.
He also needed to get Mr. Product to produce some of it as soon as possible.
If there was no product on the market after Steven's new movie was released, it would be a huge loss for them.
After receiving the gold coins, Steven couldn't wait to start working.
He felt that there were many ideas and concepts in his mind. He wanted to realize them all in the movie.
To put it simply, it was like a fountain of ideas.
…
Chen Zhao continued practicing Imperial Thousand Swords.
In the battle against Kunka, he used it for the first time.
He wasn't familiar with it yet, but its power was starting to show.
Kunka's clone couldn't do anything before Imperial Thousand Swords.
But Chen Zhao also felt that Imperial Thousand Swords was lacking.
It was indeed effective if the enemies gathered together.
But if the enemies didn't gather together, Imperial Thousand Swords would be useless.
For example, if the enemies attacked from four directions at the same time, Imperial Thousand Swords could only send out two waves of swords.
As for being able to control it as he pleased, it was still a long way off.
"Chen Zhao, pay attention to your breathing." Old Turtle sat on a rock and watched Chen Zhao practice Imperial Thousand Swords.
"Breathing? What does breathing have to do with Imperial Thousand Swords? "
"Of course it's related. Every movement you control has to be in sync with your breathing. The rhythm of your skill is very important. Maintain a sense of rhythm."
Chen Zhao tried a few times but couldn't find the rhythm.
He kept trying, but he still failed, failed, failed …
Why was the rhythm so hard to grasp?
