Chapter 70 Why is this bastard so hard to kill?

I don’t know why, but every time I see Bai Youlou and Zhang Xiaorong acting out that kind of idol drama plot, Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang feel as if they should disappear right there.

Or pretend to be a dog.

But no!

They only have one car, which is rented and needs to be returned.

So I had to interrupt the two of them and tell them to get in the car quickly.

Long Ziqiang was the driver, and Lao Zhou took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, leaving the back seat space for the "couple".

However, Bai Youlou did not disappoint them this time either.

It starts as an idol drama and ends as a comedy.

As soon as he got in the car, he touched Mr. Zhang's hand and said that he had recently met an old blind man in Cannes and learned how to read people's palms.
The reason is so ridiculous that it makes people doubt whether he wrote it seriously.

In the end, the bouquet of flowers that Teacher Zhang bought for him became the 38th parallel in the middle of the seat.

Zhang Xiaorong stayed far away from Bai Youlou as if she was guarding against a thief.

It’s a pity that she was wearing a mask, so I don’t know if her face turned red.

Lao Zhou: If you had used half the ability you used to flirt with host Xiao Liu and Hu Manyin to flirt with Teacher Zhang, it wouldn't have turned out like this!

Seeing the helplessness and amusement in the girl's eyes through the rearview mirror, Lao Zhou wished he could personally help Bai Youlou make amends.

It makes him anxious!

This is just like the hero and heroine in idol dramas who create all kinds of misunderstandings and can't be together for a long time. It's clearly teasing the audience!
But so far, he has only been teasing Long Ziqiang and Lao Zhou.

Looking at the speechless Old Zhou, Long Ziqiang wanted to instigate him to give the two men some medicine and lock them up in a room.

He is more social, so naturally the ideas he comes up with are more explosive.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, besides winning the award, was selling the copyrights going smoothly?" Long Ziqiang asked in order to change the subject.

Old Zhou chuckled, "That was pretty smooth! We've made money."

“What does it mean to have made money?”

"Literally, the money hasn't arrived yet. There are some problems with foreign exchange. I have to go back to Yanjing in two days to handle this matter. When the money arrives, Brother Lou will treat us no matter what. He has made a fortune!"

Long Ziqiang swallowed his saliva and couldn't help asking, "How much did it sell for?"

"More than three million."

"Three million. Isn't the investment in our movie five million?"

"Shabi, US dollars!"

"Three million US dollars?! More than 20 million!" Long Ziqiang's hands shook and he almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.

"It's close to 30 million, but it's not a lot. Before I came back, I asked Section Chief Zheng next door how much his movie sold. He didn't win any awards, but he sold the copyright for more than 40 million based on his own name, making a fortune."

Although he said that he envied Section Chief Zheng, Lao Zhou was obviously full of confidence. He felt that Bai Youlou's reputation in the future would not be worse than the other party. This path was completely feasible!

The most important thing is that it bypasses various domestic channels and capital, so there is no possibility of being manipulated! It feels so good!

Having said this, even Zhang Xiaorong's attention was drawn and she looked at him with some surprise.

Amazing!
Whether it was her or Long Ziqiang, their previous understanding of how a movie makes money was the box office.

I never thought there would be such a way of playing. The movie hasn't even been released yet, but it has already made more than 20 million.

In fact, Lao Zhou still had some reservations.

The contract signed in North America provides a guaranteed minimum plus profit-sharing. If the box office is really good, the overseas revenue will go up even more.

But the North American box office is a bit mysterious and hard to predict, so just ignore it for now.

On the contrary, when the movie is released in China, any box office revenue will be pure profit.

Even if the box office is really bad, he can still sell the copyright again with the title of Cannes Best Actor.

For example, video websites or movie channels.

Millions are easy.

As for whether or not to put more effort into publicity and promotion when the film is released in China, Lao Zhou and Bai Youlou have surprisingly similar opinions.

If you have already made money, don't bother. The box office is just a matter of fate.
And it’s not like there’s no promotion, it’s been going on for so long. The live broadcast of the final of “The Voice of China” will be the biggest promotion, so the effort is already quite good.

So neither of them wanted to discuss the idea of ​​releasing the film and promoting it with Huaxing Entertainment.

"Brother Lou, how are you going to spend this money?" Long Ziqiang asked with a smile.

Bai Youlou stretched lazily and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let's share it among you, and buy something you like."

"Are you still taking us to share?"

"Don't pull it down."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm also a shareholder, and I've wanted to buy a car for a long time!" Long Ziqiang grinned, it seemed like he made a fortune from the 250,000 he invested!

"Hey, what do you want to buy?"

Zhang Xiaorong pointed at herself in surprise, "I have one too?"

“You helped promote it.”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaorong seemed to want to refuse, Long Ziqiang interrupted in time, "Brother Lou, what do you want to buy?"

"That's too much. I need to build a recording studio, buy dozens of musical instruments, a sports car, a motorcycle, a game console, a skateboard, a camera, and action figures."

Throw away the thunder.

This series of words gave Old Zhou a headache.

He quickly interrupted Bai Youlou's shopping plan and said, "Brother Lou, should we save more money to shoot the next movie?"

"Next movie?"

"Yeah! We'll have enough money soon. We must plan for the next movie!"

"Let's talk about this after the money is spent. There's nothing I want to shoot for now, so why not have some fun first."

broken!

Going crazy again!

Old Zhou's heart trembled, and he asked carefully in a tone like coaxing a child: "What kind of fun are you looking for?"

"Spend the money! The yacht silver I mentioned earlier"

Bai Youlou looked at Zhang Xiaorong halfway through his words, and forced himself to hold back his words, then said, "Let's rent a yacht and have some fun."

Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang looked at each other: He just wanted to say yacht party!

Issues such as spending money and making money are ultimately matters for the future.

There is still a lot to do at the moment.

The money has not yet been fully secured, and Lao Zhou’s top priority is to get the money into the company account first. After that, the company must look like a company.

As for the artists Zhang Xiaorong and Long Ziqiang signed by the two companies, they should at least be equipped with a team.

Even if it's a bit simple and low-end, makeup artists, assistants, drivers and so on are all necessary and are enough to keep Lao Zhou busy for a while.

The domestic controversy over Cannes has officially begun. With the media's extensive publicity, more and more people know that Bai Youlou won the Cannes Best Actor award.

How to put it? Those who originally “opened champagne” to celebrate his elimination from “The Voice” are now speechless.

Why is this bastard so hard to kill?!
If we say that the output of talent on various variety show stages is Bai Youlou's unilateral show of skills to everyone, then you can continue to criticize him with your eyes closed.

But what about this wave of Cannes Film Festival winners?
You can't just lower the value of the Cannes Film Festival just to criticize Bai Youlou, right?
It is true that some of Bai Youlou's black fans did this, and then they were pinned to the ground and rubbed by fans of various powerful artists in the entertainment industry.

You're losing your mind!
If we deny this level of honor, wouldn't all the other movie stars in the circle become jokes?

This is simply dragging the entire entertainment industry down with it.

Faced with this situation, the haters are helpless.

This guy actually made a golden body out of mud!
In the eyes of netizens, Bai Youlou is now like a copper pea that cannot be steamed, boiled, hammered, or fried, and makes a loud noise.

No matter how people scolded or hit him, he could always stand in front of everyone again with a strange posture.

The light on his body became brighter and brighter, making it impossible to ignore his presence even with eyes closed.

He just stands there, whether he hates, likes or hates.
The idol was pushed off the "altar", the paint was rubbed off and the mud was exposed, but no one would have thought that there was gold foil inside that was dazzling even under the dark clouds!
