Hollywood.
This was already the fifth Round Table Conference centered around "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World."
In history, there had never been a meeting as frequent as this one.
"40 million box office earnings! Just one day, and they swept away 40 million in box office earnings! " James violently slammed the table and roared, "Our 'Air-Raid of the Trump Cards' and 'Moment of Screaming' only added up to 10 million! 10 million! And now those damn retarded children don't even watch it anymore. Every day, other than the prodigal Hong Dali, their topic of discussion is the real martial arts of Heavenly State! "
He roared for a while, then sat back in his chair dejectedly and helplessly said, "Can we still play happily in the future …"
"Dear James," Someone said, "don't mind it too much. Temporary gains and losses don't mean much. Our main goal should still be the Fran International Film Festival in six months. "
"That's right. 'Air-Raid of the Trump Cards' and 'Moment of Screaming' are just previews. Our main focus now isn't on them." Another person slowly said, "Isn't your film going to be screened soon? By then, we just have to make a beautiful comeback. "
The atmosphere was tense, but it wasn't discouraged.
For Hollywood to be able to develop to where it was today, it had faced many challenges. If it was so easily defeated, it wouldn't be called Hollywood.
"Increase the investment! I want to increase the investment! "James crazily shouted." I don't believe that I can't defeat that Hong Dali! If I can't even defeat a prodigal, I will quit the film industry! "
Actually, it was no wonder he was so angry. They were both young people, and Hong Dali had just celebrated his 18th birthday this year. The difference between them was really too obvious. For his face, James had to stand up to him no matter what!
"En, if you need any help, just let me know." Someone said, "This time, besides the box office earnings, our target should also be the Fran International Film Festival. I think that if that Hong Dali only has one film, it's not enough to fight against us. After all, there are more than 30 nominations in every film festival. It's already not bad if he can get one or two. "
"That's right." Another person said, "This time, we were too careless. We underestimated our enemy and acted too rashly. Next time, we'll prepare well. When the time comes, we'll have a good fight with him. We'll definitely not be inferior to him. "
"Good!" James gritted his teeth. "Let's show him what true strength is!"
…
Merika, Hexagon Building, Film and Entertainment Department.
"'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World' swept away 40 million in a single day. Luckily, we took action early. Otherwise, if this continued, the battle of the box office this time would definitely become the biggest joke of the year." A middle-aged man sat on the sofa, frowning as he smoked a cigar. He was dressed in a suit and had short blond hair. He looked quite capable.
This man was the head of Merika's Entertainment Department, Horace.
"But even so, we still suffered heavy losses this time." A woman who looked like a secretary next to Horace said, "A box office of 40 million in a day is enough to prove the excellence of this movie. If we don't take follow-up measures, those citizens who didn't have the chance to watch this movie will … Minister, our Merika is known for equality and freedom, the will of the people cannot be violated. "
This woman had long blond hair and extremely fair skin. She had the unique angular features of Europeans and Americans and was quite beautiful.
Especially her full chest and slender and round thighs, extremely eye-catching — the development of the breasts of European and American women were usually slightly bigger than those of Heavenly State …
"I know, my dear Catherine." Horace thought for a while and then slowly said, "Looks like we can't be careless when facing this prodigal. We've lost the battle of the box office this time. It's impossible to rent Big Turtle again. Now, we can only think of ways to make up for our losses. How about this, immediately contact a few video websites and put up the pirated video of 'Pugilistic World.' As for how to do it, I believe I don't need to explain further, right? "
"Pirated video?!" Catherine was obviously dazed for a while, then anxiously said, "But that way … Our country is free and equal, we can't ignore the copyright issue! Once pirated video appears, it won't be easy to deal with it! "
"Hehe, Catherine." Horace took another puff of the cigar, smiled and said, "Of course I understand what you're saying. But we can use another method. Find a few prisoners and secretly put the crime of pirating video on them. You should understand after that, right? "
"You mean …" Catherine instantly understood and said in surprise, "Find scapegoats? Let the people download some first, then we'll catch these few scapegoats. In this way, the part of the video that has already been downloaded will be freely spread by them? "
"That's right, you're very smart." Horace laughed loudly. "This way, we can satisfy the curiosity of the people and let their energy be diverted to other areas. We can also give a good explanation on our side. As for those few prisoners, hehe, after being locked up for a few years, who would still remember what crime they were charged with, what do you think? "
"This …" Catherine thought for a while. "It's indeed a good idea. Then, I'll go and arrange it now, for Merika. "
"For Merika, my lady." Horace smiled and said, "Oh right, after this matter is settled, go to Heavenly State and think of a way to get close to Hong Dali. By then, send back all the information about him in secret. Remember, don't do anything overly aggressive to him. I just want to know what he's doing, and that's all I need. As for the results of the things he's doing, I think our team will definitely be able to analyze it. "
"Minister, this …" Catherine said in surprise, "Hong Dali doesn't need us to specially set up a team just for him, right?"
"Dear Catherine." Horace slowly said, "We must firmly grasp any possible accidents in our own hands. This Hong Dali is a huge variable, very huge. We can't ignore him. "
"Okay, I understand." Catherine remembered Horace's words firmly, then turned around and left.
"This Hong Dali, looks like we really can't underestimate him." Horace mumbled to himself and lightly sucked on his cigar again. "This time, I was too careless. When the news from his side comes back, I want to see how he can escape from my grasp."
On the other side, Catherine walked out of Minister Horace's office, her heart thumping wildly. "Minister asked me to look for Hong Dali. This person is said to be extremely magical, and his luck is extremely good. If I go, will it … I hope not. He actually asked me to be a spy, this is really …"
…
Merika, on the Internet.
More than ten pirated torrents of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World" appeared overnight, causing the citizens to crazily download it. After all, now that the cinemas were officially offline, other than watching pirated torrents, there was no other way to watch this legendary movie.
The number of visitors to the few big video websites kept increasing, and the pirated version of "Pugilistic World" also spread wildly like wildfire. Merika's National Police Bureau arrested more than twenty people who spread the pirated version and finally completely eliminated the pirated version.
But even so, people used USB drives to copy, torrents to download, and other methods. At the start, the National Police Bureau prepared to arrest a few people who spread the pirated version, but it was obvious that they couldn't suppress this trend and could only let it go.
And this time, before the pirated version storm had passed, a large number of Young Master's hardcore fans had already appeared in Merika and set up a dedicated hardcore fan group website on the Internet.
It was said that a smart person specially got Young Master Hong Dali's profile picture and printed it on T-shirts. Overnight, tens of thousands of them were sold and he earned a crazy million USD, instantly evolving from a short and poor person to a tall, rich, and handsome person.
And his advertising slogan was: "Do you want to get rich overnight? Do you want to have Young Master's luck? Buy a Young Master brand T-shirt and you'll be guaranteed to win the lottery. Everything you eat will be delicious, and you'll meet beautiful women when you go out! "
Instantly, there were many people who followed the trend, and all kinds of products with Young Master were registered. The most ridiculous thing was that someone registered "Young Master brand toilet paper", and the advertising slogan was: "Use Young Master brand fingers, ah no, it's toilet paper. You'll have good luck in your chrysanthemum and definitely won't get hemorrhoids!"
As for "Young Master" brand condoms — I won't mention that advertising slogan, everyone can use their own imagination … But it was said that the sales were quite good, and it was especially favored by a large number of young women @ _ @ …
…
Merika was overjoyed and turned its gaze back to Heavenly State.
Hong Dali hugged Quentin and sat in Lin Chuyin's laboratory. The person in front of him was none other than the mysterious Bureau Chief.
"Dali, have you been doing well recently?" The Bureau Chief looked at the lazy Hong Dali, smiled, and said, "This time, 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World' has earned a lot. You must be in a good mood, right?"
"Uncle Chief …" Hong Dali played with Quentin's little head. "You definitely didn't come to find me to invite your parents, right? What exactly is the matter, just tell me directly, we're not outsiders. "
"Haha, what a good 'not outsiders'." The Bureau Chief laughed heartily, in an extremely good mood. He said, "Yup, the box office war this time was done quite beautifully. The higher-ups said that you have vindicated the Heavenly State's film industry. I have a 10 million USD card here, I'll give it to you as a gift, how about that? "
"Giving money?" Hong Dali sniffled and listlessly said, "You have to find Xiaoyi to give money. I have no concept of numbers, and I can't be bothered with this kind of small money …"
The Bureau Chief almost choked to death upon hearing Hong Dali's words.
10 million USD!
That's 10 million USD! But in the mouth of a big prodigal like you, it became small money?!
But the Bureau Chief thought from another perspective. That was true. This little rascal could casually use tens of millions of USD now. 10 million USD, when converted to RMB, was only slightly more than 12 million. To the Hong Dali in front of him, this was really small money …
Damn it, this rascal was going against the heavens!
"That, OK …" The Bureau Chief blushed. "Then, take it as me personally sponsoring on behalf of the higher-ups. Hehe, hehe …"
"This red packet is not small." Hong Dali beamed with delight. "What about the others? Uncle Chief, you don't have to personally come out just to give money, right? "
"Little rascal, your brain is quite good." The Bureau Chief laughed heartily. "Of course, I have other matters to discuss with you today!"
