nTianjin, Fei Niao Films.
nDirector Ning Zhixing banged his hand on the table, slavering as he spoke, “Look at this, look at this. Others only produced a low-budget movie, with at most tens of thousands. A film just more than ten minutes. Look at how popular it is! Ah! We also make movies, but how come there’s such a big gap between us?!”
nOne of the staff mumbled, “Why don’t you look at the featured rank…”
n“Featured rank?” Ning Zhixing moved a few steps forward and splattered saliva all over the staff’s face as he spoke, “That’s ability. Without ability, nobody would care about you. With the kind of script you produce, do you think anyone will feature your production?!”
nThe staff was stunned and speechless.
n…
nShanghai, Tianhai City, Wind Pursuer Films.
n“Difference, this is the difference!” Director Wang Haoqi sighed. “Small production, small indeed! The film we made using five million yuan the last time only earned eight million in the box office. Deducting all the expenses, we only made about a million. But look at this.” Wang Haoqi pointed at the screen of his laptop. “A small production that only cost tens of thousands was downloaded more than a million times! Ten cents per download—that will come up to more than a hundred thousand! How long has it been? How long?”
nOne of the staff softly replied, “About… about half a day…”
n“Half a day! More than a million downloads in half a day, that’s a profit of fifty thousand! And it has just begun!” Wang Haoqi reluctantly said, “With the speed of things, there will be 20 million downloads a month at the least. That’s a profit of one million! An investment of 50,000 yuan in exchange for one million! That aside, think about the profit from advertisements.”
nOne of the staff replied, “About… about three million…”
n“Three million? Not even close! More!” Wang Haoqi said, “From the popularity now, if he were willing to insert an advertisement, at least five million!
n“Huge gap! This is really a huge gap!”
n…
nWhen Unexpectedly! came out, it kicked up a storm in the film entertainment industry. Almost all the film companies within the country held internal meetings. And there was only one topic up for discussion—Hong Dali’sUnexpectedly! .
nBut it was clear that the storm that Unexpectedly! had brought about had just begun.
n…
nA man was talking to his girlfriend, who was mad at him. “Rou Rou, don’t be angry, okay? I’m sad when you get mad at me. Besides, staying angry is no good for your skin. Don’t be mad anymore.”
nThe woman appeared upset and pouted as she said, “How can I not be angry? You cannot even be bothered with me usually.”
nThe man held the woman’s hand carefully. “I know. How about we watch a movie together? I heard that there’s a very popular movie recently. Shall we go to watch it? Okay?”
nThe woman was slightly reluctant but agreed. “O… Okay…”
nAt the internet cafe, he turned on the computer, and the movie promptly started. “Unexpectedly, my principals are gone…”
nThe upset woman couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out laughing. Pu chi!
nFive minutes later, they had their hands intertwined.
nThe woman said, “If I get kidnapped by the demon king, will you save me?”
nThe man laughed as he replied, “Yes. But I would definitely bring a better weapon. Better than the shiny toy sword in the show. Hehe.”
nThe woman said, “Um, the demon king would definitely be stronger. You have to be careful.”
nThe man said, “No matter how strong the demon king is, I will beat him.”
n…
nIn the hospital, a man lifted his shirt for the doctor’s examination. “Doctor, take a look at my illness. Will you prescribe more medicine for me? Doctor, have I recovered?”
nThe doctor smiled as he said, “You have almost recovered. You will not need any more medicine.”
nUpon hearing this, the man was upset and reluctant. “How can that be? How can I not need any medicine? Doctor, do you really think I have recovered?”
nThe doctor was stunned and perplexed by the man’s words. He hesitated and said, “Um, maybe not completely. Perhaps I should give you some medicine?”
nHearing what the doctor said, the man’s face brightened up. “That’s right. I want medicine from Tang Medical Enterprise!”
nThe old doctor was confused. “Erm… Why must it be Tang Medical Enterprise’s medicine?”
nThe man shook his head and said, “Tang Medical Enterprise, don’t stop taking the medication! Haven’t you heard of this, doctor? You’re too out of date!”
nThe old doctor picked up the pen and started writing a bunch of prescriptions, and a few minutes later, the man happily walked out of the consultation room. The old doctor shook his head. “It’s weird. There are actually people who would want to take so much medicine. Don’t stop taking the medication?”
nIndeed, all the medicine that the old doctor prescribed was from Tang Medical Enterprise. When the patients took their medicine, they were elated and laughed as they collected their medicine. “Don’t stop taking the medication. This is good!”
n…
nMajor supermarkets across the country.
nA young man asked as he walked into the supermarket, “Boss, Do you have Might? Give me a carton!”
nThe boss looked vexed. “No… I don’t have any more of it… It’s true.”
nThe young person was flushed with agitation as he banged on the table. “Damn! You don’t even have Might? Why are you even open? I have been to five supermarkets, but all Might was sold out! I feel uneasy if I don’t drink Might every day. Don’t you know?”
nThe supermarket’s boss was on the verge of tears. “I don’t wish for this to happen either. I have just called to ask them to send six boxes here, but they were all sold out in half an hour. All of them said the same thing—they feel uneasy if they don’t drink Might every day. They even said that if they don’t drink Might, there’s no reason to work at all. Aside from that, is Might really so delicious?”
nThe young person rubbed his chin. “What do you know! Damn. Too many people feel the same. I’ll go ask at another supermarket.”
nAfter the young person left.
nThe boss was perplexed. “Eh, that’s too weird. Is Might really so delicious?”
nAs he was thinking, another young person walked in. The boss asked, “You’re here. You want two bottles of Fierce Bull?”
nThe young person looked like he couldn’t care less. “Who still drinks Fierce Bull? Everyone drinks Might these days. Might is the right way to go! I feel uneasy if I don’t drink Might every day! Boss, please don’t tell me you don’t have it here either. I have asked several supermarkets, and they were all sold out. If you don’t have it here, I can only order it directly from the supplier!”
nThe boss looked depressed. “The problem is, I really don’t have stock. Could it be something else?”
nThe younger person pouted. “Can the others be compared to Might? Drink Might, acquire Might. This won’t do. I have to quickly ask the other supermarkets. Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy!”
