Vol 2 Chapter 350: The blade is coming out of the sheath...

"This is the work you finished shooting in two months? God... I don't know what words should be used to describe it, God... The vampires who see money in the theater will definitely regret it."
In the office of the general manager of Klelev, Saul used two gods to express the shock brought to him by "Effect". He is a person who talks a lot, and he has smashed the table several times to vent his feelings while watching movies. Dissatisfaction, even if this is just a hot movie that has just been released.
Even if "Effect" would follow his channel and first distribute the goods in the British video tape store, as a beneficiary, he also felt that this film should not be profitable in the video tape market in the form of Blu-ray discs. It should belong to the theater chain and cannot be sold. Watching this movie on the big screen is definitely a big loss for movie fans.
He thinks so, and he says so, because he can’t help but praise the film’s charm, even if he is the owner of a film company, in the final analysis, he is just a movie hobby. If you don’t love, who would invest in movies? In front of a good movie, he should follow his heart, either from counseling or from his heart.
"Click...pop."
Pressing the switch of the optical drive with a finger, a double-sided reflective optical disc with a marker imprinted on it was ejected by the optical drive, picked up by Mickey, gently placed in the disc box, and lightly dropped on Sol's office.
"how about it?"
"Unexpectedly good."
Obtaining Thor's affirmation, Mickey looked at Lu Ze sitting on the sofa, quietly playing soot. The two seemed to smile, and they didn't seem very basic, because the faces of the two were full of pride and pride.
"Since you think it's good, show some sincerity and tell me, how many goods do you plan to shop? You take 45 percent. The more you vote, the more you earn, man."
"It’s not about making a steady profit without losing money. Do you think the market can digest 100,000 copies? After the word-of-mouth fermentation, the domestic market should not be a problem. If 20,000 copies can really be sold, other countries’ People should come home by themselves. According to the plan for the shelves in Europe, it is almost... 150,000? France and Italy can sell more. The online market...Leave a buffer period, one month after the shelves in Europe Go online later."
"Twenty thousand is a bit too small... fifty thousand."
Sol stared at the CD on the desktop with a hesitant expression, but after seeing the quality of the movie, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded.
"Fifty thousand...Yes, if you can't digest it, just use it as inventory. It won't last long. The tax on video tapes is not high and it can be affordable.
Mickey didn’t expect Saul to agree so quickly. It’s also because he was not familiar with the video tape market. He had not done market research. If "Effect" became a hit, 50,000 copies of the UK could be eaten. The album sold by people-watching singers sold more than 300,000 copies in one month. Although movie discs are not as good as albums, they have fewer collectors, but movie lovers and people who like to join in are definitely not small. Purchasing power.
After all, it’s because Sol has no courage. If "Effect" is really popular, 20,000 copies are really not enough to sell, but he can’t be blamed. After all, the movies produced by Klelev over the years have lost a lot of money. You were scared and lost his ambitions. He didn't want the company to expand, but only wanted stability. This was understandable. Mickey saw Saul agreed. There was no problem, but when he looked at Lu Ze, his eyes suddenly turned twice.
"What about one hundred thousand?"
"Puff! Are you crazy? One hundred thousand? Do you need such a large order in the early stage? It's impossible. I am not so rich. In case the goods are crushed and the capital chain is broken, I will have to jump off the building immediately. My pressure on fifty thousand tickets is no small, do you really plan to be a multi-millionaire with one vote? Sorry, I have no time to be crazy with you."
"Sol, listen to me, have you seen him? China's big star has tens of millions of fans. As long as he advertises, is it difficult to sell 100,000 copies?"
Seeing Mickey suddenly pointed at him, Lu Ze almost ate his cigarette in his stomach, coughed a few times, raised his brows and gave Mickey a hard look. The grandson of sentiment hit himself with attention, and his mother's millions of fans, he When the fans were the most open, the fans had just passed 6.5 million, and the emotional British guys also played rounding this set?
"Mr. Lu is very capable, I know it, but I can’t pay for 100,000 copies. I want to buy 100,000 copies. I’d better wait until they are on the shelves in Asia. However, the video tapes have always sold poorly in China, as you know. of."
"Really can not?"
"Really can not."
"Well, sign the contract."
Mickey shrugged and did not continue to force him. After all, he knew in his heart that Saul would not agree. Let this old pedal bleed once, it would really kill him, even if the late gains would be substantial, he did not dare Go gamble.
"Mr. Lu."
After signing the contract and confirming the date of the shop, the two were about to leave after they were saved in duplicate. Thor suddenly got up and stopped Lu Ze. This made Lu Ze a little puzzled. The old man had his arrogant attitude to him before. But remember clearly.
"Mr. Lu, I apologize to you for my arrogant attitude before. You are a good actor. There is no doubt about that. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. I hope..."
Sol's words gradually weakened, and he actually realized that if Lu Ze really became popular in Europe because of "Effect", with Lu Ze's strength, it would be no problem to gain a foothold in theater-level movies, and what about him? Mickey and Lu Ze may make a fortune, but what about after? He would still fall into the quagmire of losing money, and then Lu Ze would have nothing to do with him at all.
Lu Ze was surprised by Saul’s apology. He himself didn’t care if he was looked down upon, because being looked down upon was directly related to whether he could stand up again. If he failed to save himself this time, then he wouldn’t be able to save himself. If you want face, you will still be looked down upon. This is an objective fact, and it will not change because of Lu Ze’s personal emotions. So he let go of it very easily, but whether Saul suddenly mustered up the courage or thinks for a long time, he can apologize. Lu Ze was naturally happy to accept it.
"It doesn't matter, I also hope to make friends with Mr. Sol."
The two shook hands, Lu Ze smiled warmly. Saul didn’t feel any golden light flashing on Lu Ze’s body, which stung his eyes. He just felt that Lu Ze was a generous person. For a strong and generous person, he should Give respect.
This is the easiest way to gain respect. Be a good person and choose to tolerate others when they don’t touch the bottom line, instead of hitting others in the face like Long Aotian. That will only produce hatred and hostility to yourself. Inconvenience, the generation of a network of relationships often depends on your mentality, of course...
Except for the shameless fool.
...
Everything was done properly, but a big worry. The two finally put their hearts back in their stomachs. They only need to wait for half a month. The posters are drawn and the CD is completed. The two have worked hard for more than two months. The work can be made available to the public.
He got into the car happily and fastened his seat belt. Lu Ze wanted to squint for a while. The two months were too tiring, which caused him to fall asleep no matter where he was, but he didn’t expect to hear Mickey’s words, so he gave it to Lu Ze. Spirit up.
"Lu Ze, Lu Ze, discuss something with you, you go to Weibo to make an advertisement for "Effect"."
"Waiting for me here? I haven't posted on Weibo for more than a year. It is estimated that except for robots, real fans have unfollowed them. Advertising is probably meaningless."
"Who said that? Check out Weibo for yourself."
Lu Ze’s attitude towards Mickey’s confident mind was a little strange. He took out his phone and clicked on Weibo, because he changed his phone in March and he needed to log in to his account and password. The studio’s account had already been taken back by Qian Shijia, only his personal account was considered that way The biggest fortune left in 2009, but Lu Ze never used it after he retired.
It took me a long time to remember the account password, the moment I logged in... the phone crashed, and a series of intensive noises started from this moment until Mickey drove out for three kilometers, but the phone card returned to the card, and finally there was a response. .
There were 100,000+ private messages, private messages, not comments. Lu Ze suddenly understood why today's smart phones were still stuck. It would be nice if he didn't explode and crash his hands.
"Brother Ze, are you still filming? I haven't watched your movie for a year, and I feel uncomfortable!"
"Brother Ze, find some work for yourself. Don't be idle. I haven't seen your new work for so long. I haven't watched any movies yet. Get moving!"
"I watched "The Desolation", is it really rubbish? I suddenly understand why you left. I don't know when you can meet again. An ordinary fan commented. Remember to know me well."
There are too many comments, I can’t come over, and I simply flipped through a few. The private messages are full of words of encouragement. It is impossible to say not to be moved, but Lu Ze still made tears in front of others and could only pretend Do nothing but click on your homepage, and then startled...
Lu Ze, actor, following 28, 650W fans.
What he was like when he left and what he was like when he came back. It has not changed, and even the certification has not been cancelled. It is just that the young actor who was certified back then has now removed the word youth. He suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes. In the past eight years of his career, no one has given up on him, only he has given up on himself.
"How about? Let me just say it? You dare to say that when I haven't done my homework? Just kidding, don't froze, hurry up and advertise."
"I know, I know, can we stop making noise?"
"OK~"
Then I scrolled through the private message and clicked on @ and took a look. It turns out that the last time he appeared on Weibo was when Zhuang Yu got married, and he was the best man.
Before Zhuang Yu’s new movie project was established, Lu Ze just left Gan Shijia. In the eyes of people who don’t know the truth, he thought that the two had broken up. He felt that Zhuang Yu was not friends enough, and his buddies didn’t help if they were in trouble. Zhuang Yu’s personal fans were quite unpleasant. It was not until Lu Ze became the best man that the rumors of conflict between the two were completely unfounded.
Lu Ze is probably the last one to know about this, and when he saw that there was no disturbance, he let go of his heart, and planned to have a good drink with Zhuang Yu after returning to China. It is impossible to say that Zhuang Yu has no grudges. It's not easy to feel it in my heart. Fans do require artists to pay for the behavior. Needless to say, this kind of thing is common and everyone knows it.
After finally getting a rough idea of ​​what happened this year, Lu Ze thought for a while, took a photo of Mickey while driving, edited the text, turned on the address display, and clicked send.
"The new movie "Effect", September 17, 23, will be available in video stores in various cities in the UK at 8 am, directed by Mickey Taylor (Zhang Weiyu), starring: Me."
The speed of the audience has never let Lu Ze down. In just one minute, there were hundreds of comments and more than 300 likes.
"Wait...who is this? (dog face
"New movie? Lu Ze...I am grass! Lu Ze!"
"Grandpa! The actor you follow posted on Weibo today! I'll burn some paper for you!"
"I've been cautious. I haven't posted a Weibo for more than a year. I thought it was a hacking account. I wanted to expose the true face of the hacking account. But when I saw the slogan, I couldn't tell the truth. Oh, it's Lu. Ze."
"Don't look, get out."
"No money, I'm waiting to see the gun version. (dog face
"I feel like vomiting as soon as I cry. When I saw Lu Ze’s Weibo, I couldn’t control my tears. Originally, I almost vomited up for dinner, but you just asked me to pay for it when you came back, and then... I swallowed it back. ."
"Lu Ze: Brother, don't you buy a disc? (dog face
"The "Crimes of Making, Selling, and Disseminating Obscene and Obscene Articles for Profit" are sentenced to more than three years, but not more than five years in prison, and fines. In serious cases, they will be sentenced to more than ten years to life imprisonment and confiscation of property. (dog face) "
Looking at these non-serious comments, Lu Ze was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all. His expression was stiff and he turned down. Sure enough, the fans were still the fans, and the stingy was still so stingy.
"Did anyone reply? Let me see."
Mickey glanced at Lu Ze's phone curiously, but unexpectedly Lu Ze turned off the phone's screen directly, and hummed a British rock song to the speaker if nothing had happened.
"Drive seriously! Don't always look around."
"If you don't watch it, don't watch it. Why are you making noise."
When Mickey turned his head, Lu Ze turned on his phone again, only to find that there were many people Lu Ze followed @自己.
"Director Zhuang Yu: Lu Ze's new movie, who is in the UK? Or have friends in the UK? Remember to bring me one back @黄六@宋归远@郑奕@李炜."
"Song Guiyuan has a son: When did @陆泽 go to the UK to make a movie? Yes, this is in line with the international standards. What more friends are in the UK? Is Lu Ze not there? Remember to bring two back. @庄羽"
"Zheng Yi: Bring me a @陆泽."
"Guo Mingde: And me, look at the level of this British director. @陆泽."
I have everything mentioned below, but it is common for Lu Ze to bring back a CD-ROM, by the way, joking about Lu Ze, joking, and many directors and screenwriters expressed their opinions on "Monster Actor Lu Ze" and "British Evil Talent Director Mickey" The movie "Taylor" is full of expectations. What's more, Song Guiyuan, the bastard, is going to the customs to report Lu Ze smuggling and smuggling the CD.
In short, it was either joking or expecting, but no one mentioned that Lu Ze has been mixed up in the video tape market to discuss the predicament of life, because they dare to reply to Lu Ze, it proves that they are Lu Ze’s true friends, out of love for Lu Ze Understand, they firmly believe that as long as Lu Ze has the opportunity to film, it will be stable!
At the same time, in a high-end villa on the second ring of the Imperial City, a woman in a big flowered pajamas who could not conceal the nobleness was gently shaking the crib, and the kind smile on her face couldn’t hide it until When the meaty child in the bed fell asleep, he quietly went to the balcony and called the son-in-law.
"Hello? Xiaojun."
"Mom, it should be past ten o'clock in China, is there anything wrong with calling so late?"
"Mom wanted to ask you something. Can you go to the video store on the 17th to buy a movie disc called "Effect" and send it to mom? Okay, I'll trouble you."
...
The white little hands kept tapping the phone screen, and the baby's fat little face was still unsmiling. She hid in the bed, and kept asking several British agents for the price, and chose the most suitable price to pay.
"Xuan Xuan, I'm not going to bed yet, what time is it."
The door was quietly pushed open, and a middle-aged woman reprimanded a little unhappily, and she turned off the phone, turned off and lay down, closed her eyes, and pretended to hit up at the moment the door was opened. Snoring.
...
"Good parents, no trouble, no trouble, okay, you can send your child over for trial lessons that weekend. If you and your child find it suitable, let's talk about it again, um, ok, goodbye."
She sighed, hammered her waist lightly, and drank the last sip of tea in the teacup. She picked up her bag and went out of the office. Only high heels rang in the corridor. Then she made a call and communicated with each other in fluent English. .
"Hey Britney, you are now a PhD student in Cambridge, right? I have something to ask you, can you go to the video store on the 17th and buy me a videotape of "Effect"? Is that okay? Thank you so much."
...
From the day the news was announced, countless people were looking forward to it, expecting Lu Ze to continue to bring them visual and spiritual impact in a year. Time passed, and everyone finally welcomed the arrival of the 17th. Lu Ze embarked on a return journey.
"Why are you walking in such a hurry? After coming to England with me for so many days, let me take you to relax."
"The relaxation you said is definitely not a good thing. Actually, it's not a hurry to leave. After the poster is finished, the video store is also available. If the division is not my share, I have no need to stay. It is better to be bored. Go home and sell wine."
"Plus to comfort your rich wife and girlfriend?"
"That's it."
Lu Ze was standing at the gate of the airport with his suitcase, and a plane took off behind him. He was also aroused to return. He put the bag on his back, hammered Mickey's chest, and hugged him and patted his back.
"Then I'm leaving, you can go back too."
"When you arrive at Huaxia, call me and pay more attention to safety. By the way, if we really make a profit this time, don't hesitate. Let's make a combination."
He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his parents. Lu Ze groaned, put the cell phone in his trouser pocket, and answered with a smile.
"I think about it and go!"
"See you in a while, bye!"
Lu Ze walked simply, two long legs walked into the airport gate, the security personnel picked up the explosion-proof test paper and scratched his body twice, but Mickey's shout came from behind him.
"We will definitely become billionaires, don't rely on your rich woman and girlfriend! I promise!"
"This man is crazy?"
A white couple next to Mickey looked at Mickey speechlessly. You don't need to guess this look. Lu Ze didn't answer Mickey's stupid look. They just raised their right hand and made an OK gesture.
...
"To reach the destination, the shop is on your left, the whole journey is eight kilometers, and it takes 24 minutes."
"Is there any "Effect"? I want three, the one on the poster behind you."
Pushing open the door of the video store, Ma Bohai, panting, attracted the attention of everyone in the store. After half an hour after class, he rode his bicycle and followed the navigation all the way to this one of the few video stores in London. The poster behind the clerk asked hurriedly.
This poster looks a bit gloomy. On the street of a desolate village, Lu Ze turned his back, only half of his face, with a look of depression, his eyes looked straight out of the poster, as if he was looking at Ma Bohai. , This is nothing, the weird thing is that there are countless mouths around him.
Ma Bohai was too late to think about the meaning of this poster, staring eagerly at the clerk, hoping to get a positive answer in her mouth, but he was disappointed after all, but this is not beyond his expectation. This film has become popular in China. He knew in his heart that he was lucky to be able to buy it, and there was no way he could not buy it.
I said thank you to the clerk. At this time, the weakness of the body caused by the physical exhaustion began to be highlighted. He pushed the door laboriously and sat down on the green belt. He took out his mobile phone and made a voice.
"I didn't get it. "Effect" is too popular in the UK. It is out of stock now. If you wait, I will get it in two or three days. If you don't wait, I will refund you now."
After sending the voice, I took out the water bottle under the bicycle and took three mouthfuls. I replied over there. After listening, I reluctantly returned the deposit and looked at the sky speechlessly.
"Lu Ze, Lu Ze, why is it so hard for me to make some money for you? I'm so tired that I haven't bought it yet. I don't know what magic powers you have. Alas, I lost my wife and broke down~"
Putting the water bottle back, he limped to his feet and kicked up the bicycle, slowly riding towards the school, but finally couldn't hold back, and breathed out a fragrance.
"I x you, the dead purchaser."
Something seems wrong...
In fact, "Effect" was robbed wildly and it did not cause much disturbance. After all, the scene was still very orderly. There was no such thing as a price drop that broke the brain. It was just that everyone rushed early and went to the audiovisual store to line up. It’s not uncommon to line up to grab shoes, and the people who buy them are actually for errands, not to mention that there is no high or low job, there is nothing to belittle for in order to make money.
However, this kind of scene has shifted from brand stores and electronic and digital product stores to audiovisual stores, which is more or less news. Some people even wonder if audiovisual stores have a second spring.
But it has nothing to do with Mickey. He was talking on the phone with Sol who wanted to hang himself, looked at the sales slip, and smiled.
17532/3h...
...
"What is this kid Mickey up to? Fuck! My daughter's movie doesn't even send a Blu-ray disc? Don't let Lao Tzu see him again, or I will break his leg! Fuck!"
Depp was angry because he didn't buy "Effect", which is actually okay. There are more than forty people sitting in the bar preparing to watch the movie played by Elena. This is okay. The most thing is this group of people. Or he called...
He didn't even hear the wind on Huaxia's side even as a British guy. How do you know how popular "Effect" is on Huaxia's side. People always get up and queue at four or five o'clock. What about him? I only got up at 8 o'clock in the morning, trimmed his beard, combed his back, and wore a suit. He wandered to the door of the video store, but the clerk told him to sell it! No! Up!
He still wants these drunks to see his daughter's excellent performance, but now... the performance is six! This is definitely a big stain in his life as a well-known Liverpool football hooligan, so now, he is ready to intimidate Mickey.
"Mickey! You were raised by a biao son! A miser! I heard that you still let my daughter cook and clean, right? Irina did so much hard work, and you couldn’t even give it to me. She? Don’t show up in Lionheart, Roberts Street, and Anfield in the future, or I will chop you up and feed the dogs!"
"Dad, stop talking."
Jelena is blushing and wants to grab Depp’s phone. In fact, she is sad. Depp cares about a movie disc of "Effect". She also cares about this movie disc, but not only the disc, but The meaning it represents.
"Depp, I think there is some misunderstanding between us..."
"Grandma Shrimp Fak! You are dead Mickey, I will go to you, you better not go back to Il Krubo from now on, I know you have no place to live, you can only live there, I will now Go to you, Ba Lao Zi!"
"But I have already mailed the CD-ROM. I have mailed it for three days. What? Hasn't it arrived yet?"
"Are you...huh? Huh?"
"Is Jelena Depp here? A copy of your express!"
There was a drop of cold sweat on Mickey’s forehead on the phone. He was really afraid of Depp. This brawny man chased more than a dozen Manchester United fans by himself. The level of the scene left a deep shadow on the childhood Mickey. If this is because the express delivery is late, Depp really chopped off to feed the dog, he is unyielding!
"Fack! Do I have to complain to him! Same city! Mailed for three days! I let the snails deliver the items faster than him! I was threatened by you! My heart is almost scared by you! Mond Express... …I’m going to blow it up! Depp, you son of a bitch! You can’t wait any longer! You..."
"Bye."
Depp’s mobile phone is not very good. After all, the mobile phone is just a shaking tool for him. Mickey’s words were heard by more than forty people present. The scene was embarrassing for a while, as if the embroidery needle dropped on the ground. There was a loud noise and Depp smiled... clapped his hands... and coughed slightly.
"Well, I know it's a misunderstanding. We have a movie to watch, and...you dare to wait for Lao Tzu to sign for it! I..."
"Stop! Stop! Don't do it! Don't do Depp!"
When the courier who was almost scared to pee his pants left the Lion Heart Bar tremblingly, Jelena happily unpacked the package ~EbookFREE.me~ Inside is a beautifully packaged CD box, which is different from the ones on the market , Apparently... well, actually Mickey bought a high-end disc box...
But for Elena, this is the limited edition collection that Mickey specially customized for her, because she didn't know that this box was sold in the video store where her father went this morning.
Anyway, she was intoxicated, and felt that all the hard work and grievances during the shooting had disappeared. If possible, she would be willing to cook for Mickey and the mutt for as long as possible... Pick up the disc box and express the back There was a page left, and she picked it up and watched it.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me, Lu Ze, and the "Effect" crew, to Elena Depp and Mitch Taylor."
She drifted away again, selectively blind, shielding Lu Ze and the crew of "Effect". Depp couldn't stand it because of her thinking of spring. She walked over and picked up the disc box and entered the bar to prepare for the show.
"Be careful, Dad, don't scratch, I want to save it for a lifetime."
"I know, don't worry baby."
Gently tear off the plastic cover of the outer packaging of the CD box. The white lacquered CD has no characteristics. Depp picked up the CD, gently placed it in the CD drive, and slowly turned the speaker volume knob.
The disc was read by the optical drive, and there was a slight rustle in the rapid rotation, and then the six LCD TVs hanging from the ceiling of the bar were lit up at the same time...
People watched the TV quietly, taking a sip of beer from time to time, waiting for the movie scenes to appear, but what they didn't know was that the moment Depp opened the disc box, a demon knife with a desperate breath was slowly getting out of its sheath. It is about to pierce deeply into their hearts.
Story ~ Let's start with a calm and rainy morning...
