Chapter 106: The top queen's aura is venting wildly
["Whiplash" was released in North America, earning nearly 90 million US dollars at the box office! ]

[Surprise! Bai Youlou's movies have such high box office abroad! ]

[200 million in China, nearly 800 million overseas, the box office of "Whiplash" has exceeded 1 billion! ]

[A miracle of a low-budget movie! A new generation of genius director! ]

【Cannes Best Actor? This is just the beginning.】

【Bai Youlou earned more than 300 million from this movie! 】

【.】

When the box office performance of "Whiplash" in North America was finally dug out and various marketing accounts frantically followed suit, a bunch of random praise began.

God knows how much marketing China Star Entertainment has invested under Lin Juntao's instructions.
However, the most popular topic is not how awesome Bai Youlou’s movies are or how much Americans buy into them.

Everyone's focus is actually
"Holy crap! He made over 300 million from a movie? Is that true?!"

"According to the share, it seems that there is indeed that much. How scary! I thought that Bai Youlou would not make as much money as before now that he doesn't seem to want to be an idol anymore, but I didn't expect it to be even scarier."

"To be honest, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't be an idol. Not only are there so many restrictions, but I wouldn't earn as much as I do now!"

"That's not right. No matter how I calculate, it's less than 300 million. It should be more than 200 million at most. Are these marketing accounts just exaggerating? Is there such a big share of the box office revenue?"

"Friendly reminder, it seems that he has already made tens of millions of dollars by selling the movie in Europe at Cannes. He actually made that much money before the movie was even released."

"I remember he said in an interview that he sold his house to make the movie, and it only cost a few million."

"Isn't this movie enough to equal his income from being an idol for several years? Sure enough, there's a reason for the contempt chain in the entertainment industry. The gap is too big!"

"Little-known fact: not every director has this kind of ability and strength. Normally, top idols earn more, like human money-printing machines."

"Super little-known fact: the bulk of the income of many so-called top idols actually comes from the company."

"I just want to know, does he really make that much money?! I'm so jealous!"

"."

shit!

"I'll make her grandmother's legs!"

When Bai Youlou saw the messy discussions on the Internet, he couldn't help but want to curse.

After all, there was really no way he could make that much money.

As for the North American box office, when the film was handed over to the Americans and asked them to release it in North America, Bai Youlou and Lao Zhou didn't have much hope.

I just asked around and found that the company was reliable, so we reached a cooperation agreement.

As for how much money can be shared?
do not know.

I really don’t know, because Bai Youlou has no idea how much money they spent on publicity.

These will be counted as costs.

Besides, the entertainment industry all over the world is very complicated.

In a sense, for some outsiders who want to invest in the entertainment industry, the entertainment industry is no less than a huge pig-slaughtering scheme.

It is the laymen who are being cheated.

The movie box office is high? It looks like it made money, right? Do you believe me if I make it a loss directly?
This type of operation is endless in the entertainment industry.

So, if the Americans were a little more realistic, Bai Youlou would indeed be able to get a lot of money, but it would not be as much as netizens imagine.

As for the total profit of more than 300 million, that is complete nonsense!
But the power of this online public opinion is enormous.

It doesn’t matter whether Bai Youlou really made that much money or not, everyone thinks he did.

This public opinion is reflected in reality.
"Director Bai, you smoke."

After going out for breakfast, Bai Youlou, when he came back, was immediately greeted by a wave of "respect" from the paparazzi who were waiting there.

The look in everyone's eyes when they looked at him was breathtaking.

Full of respect for money!

More than 300 million, how many zeros are there? If you put it in the bank and earn interest every day, it would be a lot of money!

However, Bai Youlou soon taught these paparazzi a lesson. It is not known whether he made that much money, but no matter how much he made, he still had to accept your cigarettes!

While he was smoking a cigarette, Jiang Yuanchu, this little girl, actually sent him a message, which was rare.

It just forwarded the content of an online marketing account and added a question mark.

Obviously, this number made her a little overwhelmed.

To the point of breaking a little principle. We had agreed before that we would try not to contact each other unless necessary, but it was she who suggested it.

Bai Youlou replied directly, "Why, you don't want to work hard anymore?"

Jiang Yuanchu ignored him and just replied with an exclamation mark.

I don't know whether to be angry or amazed.
As soon as I walked into the company, Xiaohua at the reception desk screamed when I saw her!
"Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?"

"Boss! The Internet says you make a lot of money!" Xiaohua stretched out her arms as hard as she could and drew a huge circle, as if she wanted to use this method to describe how much "a lot" really is.

It's not just Xiaohua, there are actually other employees in Bai Youlou's company. Although there are not many, each one is more visible than the other today.

While Xiaohua was making a pot of tea, the employees looked at her as if she was looking at a giant panda, and their eyes seemed to be shining.

Facing all these gazes, Bai Youlou speechlessly rolled back to his fourth floor.

What a coincidence! As soon as he reached the fourth floor, he saw Zhang Xiaorong trotting on tiptoe to help him pack his things.

It wasn't dirty, just a little messy. Bai Youlou didn't like to put things back in place, and Zhang Xiaorong had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she always cleaned up things for Bai Youlou after he messed them up.

But today, she is a little different.

"Hey~ I'm in a good mood today." Bai Youlou joked casually.

Zhang Xiaorong blinked at him and hesitated for a moment, "Um, is what they say on the Internet true?"

"Uh, fake."

Bai Youlou sighed inwardly, how could even she...
"It's fake~" Zhang Xiaorong was holding a pillow in her arms and preparing to put it on the sofa. Her face did not show disappointment, but relief. "That's good."

"Isn't it good for me to make a lot of money?" Bai Youlou asked doubtfully.

Zhang Xiaorong pursed her lips and looked at the room full of "toys". "You only made tens of millions, and you bought so many things. If you made hundreds of millions, I wouldn't be able to handle it."

Ah this~
Bai Youlou was annoyed and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "How about I hire an assistant to do this job? Or give Xiaohua some trouble and give her more work?"

"That's not what I meant. I'm just afraid that you'll spend money recklessly again."

"If I don't spend the money, how can I have the motivation to continue to earn it~"

Obviously, this is a difference in their values ​​or consumption concepts.

Bai Youlou was not prepared to impose his own ideas on Zhang Xiaorong, because this was also one of her lovely shining points.

Likewise, Zhang Xiaorong would not nag like an old mother, forcing Bai Youlou to "correct his behavior."

Even after knowing that Bai Youlou didn't make that much money, he comforted her by saying, "You will definitely make money in the future, don't worry."

"If you don't have more than 300 million, then more than 200 million should not be difficult." Bai Youlou took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Zhang Xiaorong:
She stood there for a while, seemingly trying to digest the figure of more than 200 million.

After a while, the girl suddenly blushed and said, "I want a raise."

"Sure~How much do you want to increase it?"

"You decide. Anything is fine."

"One million a month?"

"so much?!"

It was obvious that Zhang Xiaorong just made up the topic of salary increase because she didn't know what to say. After Bai Youlou gave her a "surge" in salary, she was a little overwhelmed.

"If you signed with a normal company, you could really earn this much. Just consider it as my compensation for 'delaying you'."

Zhang Xiaorong disagrees with this statement, because all her songs were written by Bai Youlou.
Similarly, Bai Youlou is not too rich to spend.
To be honest, this was the first time in his decades of life that a girl took the initiative to wash his underwear and socks.

At first I thought some stalker had sneaked into his company to steal his underwear!

Later I found that the disappeared clothes would become clean and neatly folded and put back into the closet.

If the snail in the fish tank had not become a spirit and turned into the Snail Girl, there would only be one person who would do this.
There is no such thing as the Snail Girl. There is only the good wife and mother Teacher Zhang.

However~ after the “salary increase”, Zhang Xiaorong came up with a new trick.

"My bank card has reached its limit. Can you give me a bank card? I can just deposit my salary into it and swipe the card when I need it."

Open a bank card in Bai Youlou's name and transfer Zhang Xiaorong's salary to this card?
Clam!
Even capitalists would cry after seeing this!

The reason she gave was really lame, but Bai Youlou didn't know how to refuse her, just like Zhang Xiaorong didn't refuse the salary increase.
-
"Mr. Zhou, good afternoon~"

"Hello to you too, Xiaohua. Is Brother Lou here?" Old Zhou, looking very happy, asked with a smile.

Xiao Hua spread her hands and said, "I don't know, but Sister Zhang is not here. She went to school. The boss didn't come down from my place anyway."

"Okay, work hard. By the way, let me inform you that everyone's salary will be increased by 1,000 yuan."

"Wow! Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

"Thank you, Mr. Bai. He gave you the raise. I'm an employee as well." Old Zhou staggered, his mouth almost grinning, and walked into the elevator and pressed the floor button.

However, just as the elevator door was about to close, a high-heeled shoe suddenly stretched out and paused in mid-air, blocking the elevator door from closing.

From the perspective of Lao Zhou, who was looking down, he saw first the black high-heeled shoes with red bottoms, then the black stockings that wrapped around the slender calves, and then the black stockings that extended all the way to the thighs.
When he saw clearly who the owner of the thigh was, he was so scared that he trembled all over.

"Liu, President Liu?!"

Outside the elevator, Liu Manli, wearing a mask and a long black windbreaker, looked at Lao Zhou with interest, "You can recognize me even with a mask on?"

"How could I not recognize you? No one else has your appearance and temperament like you, Mr. Liu."

He praised her with his mouth, but in his heart he was wondering why this woman came to his house today.

The main thing is Liu Manli’s outfit, it’s obvious that she’s up to no good!

Black shoes, black stockings, black shorts, and a black vest underneath a black windbreaker. Even the mask is black.

To be honest, this outfit actually looks really good on her.

Especially the thighs wrapped in stockings, which are tight and fleshy, clearly showing the word sexy.

At the same time, that top-notch queen aura was venting out crazily, making people breathless.

Just standing in front of Lao Zhou created an absolute sense of oppression.

Lao Zhou: I don’t know if Brother Lou can handle it!

Anyway, he couldn't stand it.

When they met, his momentum weakened by three points.

If it was the Bai Youlou from before, he would definitely not be able to hold on and would be defeated the moment they met.

But Lao Zhou has confidence in Bai Youlou, who is now "crazy".

Although Lao Zhou was not present when Lin Juntao came, I heard that Bai Youlou was awesome.
It’s all thanks to you, Brother Lou!

egg.

Liu Manli asked her assistant, the driver and others to wait on the first floor, and took the elevator to the fourth floor with Lao Zhou.

As a result, Bai Youlou could not be found on the entire fourth floor.

Liu Manli was not in a hurry, but Lao Zhou was extremely anxious.

Brother Lou, help!

I really can't handle this woman.
Look, even Xiaohua, who always liked to look at stars, didn't dare to look at Liu Manli for too long after the tea was brought over.

This sister has such a strong aura!

It looks like a beautiful snake with full aggression!
"You guys are really something. The movie performed so well, but you didn't even hold a celebration party?"

As if noticing Lao Zhou's nervousness, Liu Manli felt that the time was almost right, so she relaxed her tone and spoke casually.

Old Zhou was relieved. "No way, Brother Lou has the final say. He is lazy and may not like this kind of scene, so it's easier."

Liu Manli: You guys are saving yourself the trouble. I have to wait for more than a week for the celebration party!

She also thought that Mr. Bai Youlou would give her face and send her an invitation.

But in the end, this company didn't even hold a celebration party. Does it look or act like a film and television company at all?
Bad review!

"That's fine. This is your own business. I can't say much as an outsider. But Xiao Zhou, you are all from my family after all. No matter what, we have a bond. Just don't think I'm nagging you."

"How could that be? Mr. Liu, you care about us younger generations."

After saying this, Lao Zhou wanted to slap himself in the face. He was too nervous and said the wrong thing!

As expected, Liu Manli narrowed her eyes slightly. Senior or junior, are you saying she is old? !
Although Lao Zhou said something wrong, he reacted quickly and changed the subject immediately, "But Brother Lou has been busy lately, and he was a little careless before, which offended some people in the circle."

"Ah~ Are you talking about the time when he thought it was troublesome for others to come to audition?"

"Yes, yes, he was a little impulsive. In fact, that was not his original intention. Selling songs is the main business of the company now."

Playing the victim, huh?
Liu Manli rolled her eyes in her heart. "He sells a song so expensively. How can this business be done this way? I wanted to take care of your business and make an album for Xiao Yuan and let him take charge of it, but the company budget is not enough for such a high price."

"That's easy. Mr. Liu, I'll definitely give you my respect. I'll talk to Brother Lou later and ask him to give me a discount."

Old Zhou gradually adjusted his condition and began to enter the old-fashioned mode.

I agree with everything you say, but I can't make the final decision because I don't have enough authority. I can only wait for Bai Youlou to make the decision personally.

Discount?

Bai Youlou’s principle is not to give discounts, and to cheat as many people as possible.

Lao Zhou actually agrees with this point.

Set the tone high from the beginning and use some hunger marketing. As long as the golden signboard is there, business will not be bad in the future.

The money earned from selling more products at a lower profit margin or selling less products at a higher profit margin may be similar in the end, but the latter is more prestigious and requires less work, and the money earned is just as much.

People with ability don't need to earn money through hard work.

But he felt that Liu Manli would not come to his house just for an album.
So the question is, where did Bai Youlou go?

Finally, after Liu Manli had sat on the sofa for half an hour, she couldn't bear it anymore.

He first called his assistant and asked her to send something up.

"Hey? This is..."

"It's an opening gift. Your company is new, so I have to show my appreciation anyway."

The gift Liu Manli sent was quite sincere, a golden fortune cat.

"It's gold-plated. I can't afford pure gold."

"What you said is true. We don't dare to put the pure gold ones on the front desk. I would like to thank you, Brother Lou, first."

"Don't worry, there's another one."

"Ah? There's more? Mr. Liu, you are so polite! I'm really uh."

When Liu Manli opened another box, revealing a small cage and a kitten inside, Lao Zhou didn't know what to say.

Real cat?
It was obvious that the kitten in the cage had not yet woken up. It was curled up and its appearance could not be seen clearly.

Liu Manli added, "This is not from me. It was from Xiao Yuan. I brought it for her."

"Xiao Yuan."

Old Zhou didn’t know what to say. This was Bai Youlou’s “old lover”, what could he say?
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaorong is not here at the moment!

But a real cat, wouldn't it be killed if it followed Bai Youlou? This little thing is obviously much more troublesome than Na Jin's lucky cat.

The tea has been drunk, the gift has been given, now there is only one question, where is Bai Youlou? !
The case was solved quickly.

When Liu Manli made up her mind to wait for Bai Youlou to come back today, she started wandering around the fourth floor.

Of course, she didn't open the door and enter those rooms, but just visited Bai Youlou's various "toys".

When I walked to the window, I wanted to take a breath, so I opened it.

I looked outside, eh?!

Isn’t Bai Youlou sitting right there?
"Ah? He's in the small square!" Old Zhou, who rushed to the window after hearing the news, was furious.

Looking at Bai Youlou sitting downstairs with a group of old men, I was speechless.

My buddy will help you to deal with this female devil, why are you hanging out with those old men downstairs?

Entering retirement early?

Didn’t you say before that you would help the aunts write songs and do square dances? Why are you hanging out with the uncles first?

Just when Lao Zhou was about to call Bai Youlou up, Liu Manli suddenly stopped him, "No hurry."

At this time, Bai Youlou, who was in the small square downstairs, took an erhu from the old man with a smile.
After picking up the erhu, he closed his eyes and gathered his emotions for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a sad melody mixed with a strong sense of sadness flowed out from the erhu.

Melodious and gentle, like crying and complaining.

Just like he conquered so many audiences and judges on the stage.

In the small square, he instantly conquered all the uncles.

After he finished playing a piece of music, Liu Manli spoke up, "Send him a message and ask him what the name of that erhu piece is?"

"Hey, Mr. Liu, I remember you seem to be able to play the erhu."

"How could I know the name of his original song?" Liu Manli looked at Lao Zhou as if he was a mentally retarded person.

cough~
Soon, the message sent received a reply from Bai Youlou.

"Return to the Dream and Journey to the Fairyland."
-
Asking for a monthly ticket.

　Brothers, can you please? I really want to update more. Ten thousand words a day is not enough for me.

　　It feels a bit difficult to get more chapters with rewards, can't you help with more chapters with monthly tickets?

　　Now it's still double, so easy~
　　Can you put some pressure on me?
