"This is what you did in two months? God...... I don't know what words to use to describe it, God...... Those vampires in the theater chain who see the money will definitely regret it. ”

In the general manager's office of Claireff, Saul used two gods in a row to express the shock brought to him by "The Effect", he is a man of many words, and he has smashed the table several times to vent his dissatisfaction when watching the movie, even if it is just a movie that has just come out and is still hot.

Even if "Effect" will go through his channel and distribute it in British video stores first, as a beneficiary, he also feels that this film should not be profitable in the form of Blu-ray discs in the videotape market, it should belong to theaters, and it is definitely a big loss for moviegoers to not be able to watch this movie on the big screen.

That's what he thinks, and that's what he says, because he can't help but praise it, and he can't help but be impressed by the charm shown in this movie, even if he is the owner of a film company, but in the final analysis, he is just a movie lover, if he doesn't love it, who will invest in movies? In front of good movies, he should follow his heart, either cowardly, or from his heart.

"Click...... Syllable. ”

Fingers pressed the switch of the optical drive, and a double-sided reflective disc with a marker imprint on it was spit out by the optical drive, picked up by Mickey, gently placed in the tray box, and gently fell on Thor's work.

"How?"

"Surprisingly good. ”

Getting Sol's affirmation, Mickey looked at Lu Ze, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, quietly playing cigarette ashes, the two seemed to smile, but they didn't seem very basic, because the faces of the two were full of pride and pride.

"Since you think it's good, then show some sincerity and tell me, how many goods are you going to sell? You take forty-five percent, the more you invest, the more you earn, man." ”

"It's not a sure profit or a loss, shop 100,000 pieces, do you see that the market can digest it? 20,000 pieces, after the word-of-mouth fermentation, the domestic market should not be a problem to digest it, if 20,000 pieces can really be sold, people from other countries should come to the door by themselves, according to the plan of the whole European shelves, almost ...... 150,000 tickets can be sold in France and Italy, and the online market is ...... Leave a buffer period and go live one month after the all-European launch. ”

"20,000 is a bit less...... 50,000 sheets. ”

Thor stared at the disc on the table, his expression a little hesitant, but he had seen the quality of the movie, gritted his teeth and finally nodded.

"Fifty thousand...... Yes, if you can't digest it, you can use it as inventory, and it won't last long, and the tax on videotapes is not high, and it can also meet the price. ”

Mitch didn't expect Saul to agree so quickly, which is also to blame for his unfamiliarity with the videotape market, he has not done market research, if "Effect" becomes a hit, 50,000 copies can be eaten in the UK, and the album of the singer who has not seen it has sold more than 300,000 copies in a month, although the movie disc is not as good as the album, and there are relatively few people who collect it, but movie lovers and people who love to join in the fun are definitely a lot of purchasing power.

In the final analysis, it's because Sol has no courage, if "Effect" is really popular, 20,000 copies are really not enough to sell, but this can't be blamed on him, after all, the movies produced by Claire have lost a lot of money over the years, and Sol is afraid of compensation, he has no ambition, he doesn't seek the expansion of the company, he only seeks stability, which is understandable, Mickey saw that Sol agreed, and there was no problem, but when he looked at Lu Ze, his eyes suddenly turned twice.

"What about 100,000?"

"Poof! Are you crazy? 100,000 tickets? Do you need such a big order in the early stage? This is impossible, I am not so rich, in case the goods are pressed and the capital chain is broken, I will have to jump off the building immediately, 50,000 tickets My pressure is not small, you really plan to become a multimillionaire with one vote? Sorry, I don't have time to accompany you crazy. ”

"Sol, listen to me, have you seen him? A big star in Huaxia has tens of millions of fans, as long as he advertises, is it still difficult to sell 100,000 copies?"

Seeing that Mickey suddenly pointed at him, Lu Ze almost ate the cigarette butt in his stomach, coughed a few times, raised his eyebrows and glared at Mickey, feeling that this grandson paid attention to himself, and he had tens of millions of fans, and when he was the most open, the fans were just over 6.5 million, and the emotional British also played rounding?

"I know that Mr. Lu is very powerful, but I can't get the money for 100,000 copies, so if I want to lay 100,000 copies, I'd better wait until it is released in Asia, but the videotapes have always sold badly in China, you know. ”

"Really?"

"Not really. ”

"Okay, let's sign the contract. ”

Mitch shrugged and didn't continue to force, after all, he knew in his heart that Thor would not agree, let this old kick bleed once, it would really kill him, even if the later income would be considerable, he didn't dare to gamble.

"Mr. Lu. ”

After signing the contract, determining the distribution schedule, and keeping them in duplicate, the two were just about to leave, when Sol suddenly got up and called Lu Ze, which made Lu Ze a little puzzled, he remembered the old man's arrogant attitude towards him clearly.

"Mr. Lu, I apologize to you for my arrogant attitude before, you are a good actor, there is no doubt about it, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, I hope ......"

Saul'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, there would be no problem in gaining a firm foothold in cinema-level movies, and what about him? He may make a fortune from Mickey and Lu Ze, but after that, he will still fall into the quagmire of losing money, and at that time, Lu Ze will have nothing to do with him at all.

Lu Ze was surprised by Sol's apology, he didn't care whether he was looked down upon or not, because whether he was looked down upon was directly related to whether he could stand up again, if he failed to save himself this time, then even if he wanted to save face again, he would 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 it go very easily, but whether Sol suddenly mustered up his courage or thought for a long time, he could apologize, and Lu Ze was naturally happy to accept it.

"It's okay, I'd like to make friends with Mr. Saul. ”

The two shook hands, Lu Ze smiled warmly, Sol didn't feel any golden light flashing on Lu Ze's body, which stinged his eyes, but he just felt that Lu Ze was a generous person, and he should respect a powerful and generous person.

This is the easiest way to gain respect, to be an excellent person, and to choose tolerance for others when they do not touch the bottom line, instead of slapping others in the face like Long Aotian, which will only produce hatred and hostility, inconvenience to yourself, and the generation of the network often depends on your maintenance of mentality, of course......

Except for the stupid ratio of giving a shameless face.

......

Everything was done properly, but it was a big matter, the two finally put their hearts back in their stomachs, and they only needed to wait for half a month, the poster was drawn, and the CD was produced.

happily got into the car and fastened his seat belt, Lu Ze wanted to squint for a while, but he was too tired for the past two months, so he could fall asleep no matter where he was, but he unexpectedly heard Mickey's words, and he immediately gave Lu Ze a sense of energy.

"Lu Ze, Lu Ze, discuss something with you, you go to Weibo to advertise "Effect". ”

"Waiting for me here? I haven't been on Weibo for more than a year, I guess in addition to robots, real fans have unfollowed, and it is estimated that there is no point in advertising. ”

"Who said that? You can take a look at it on Weibo for yourself. ”

Lu Ze's confident attitude towards Mickey was a little strange, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on Weibo, because he changed his mobile phone in March, and he also needed to log in to the account password, the studio's account had already been withdrawn by Qianshijia, and only his personal account was the largest property left over the years, but Lu Ze has never used it since he retired from the circle.

After recalling for a long time, I remembered the account password and the moment I logged in...... The phone crashed, and a series of dense rings started from this moment, and it didn't end until Mickey drove out three kilometers, but the mobile phone card returned to the card, and there was finally a response.

All kinds of private messages are a full 100,000+, private messages, not comments, Lu Ze suddenly understood why today's smart phone is still stuck, it would be good if it didn't explode and broke his hand.

"Brother Ze, are you still filming, I haven't watched your movies for a year, and I'm uncomfortable!"

"Brother Ze, find yourself some work to do, don't be idle, I haven't seen you make a new work for so long, I don't have a movie to watch, hurry up!"

"I watched "Yin Waste", is it really rubbish, and suddenly understood why you left, I don't know when we will be able to meet again, an ordinary fan left a message, remember to be familiar with me. ”

There are too many messages, I can't read them, I simply flipped through a few messages, and the private messages were full of words of encouragement, it was impossible to say that I was not moved, but Lu Ze also did something to shed tears in front of others, so he could only pretend to be casual and click on his homepage, and then he was stunned......

Lu Ze, actor, follow 28, fans 650W.

What was he like when he left, what was he like when he came back, it hasn't changed, and even the certification has not been canceled, it's just that the young actor who was certified back then has now removed the word youth, he suddenly felt a little sour, it turns out that he has been in the industry for eight years, no one has given up on him, only he has given up on himself.

"How about it? I'll just say it? You dare to say that when I haven't done my homework? Just kidding, don't be stunned, hurry up and advertise." ”

"I know, I know, can I stop arguing?"

“OK~”

Then I flipped through the private messages, and clicked on @ again, it turned 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, it happened that Lu Ze had just left Qianshijia, in the eyes of people who didn't know the truth, they thought that the two had a falling out, and felt that Zhuang Yu was not a friend enough, and his buddies didn't help him when they were in trouble.

Lu Ze is estimated to be the last to know about this, seeing that there is no trouble, he put his mind at ease, and plans to have a good drink with Zhuang Yu after returning to China, this kind of thing is impossible to say that Zhuang Yu has no mustard, and it will not feel good to anyone else, and the behavior of fans does have to be paid by the artist, this kind of thing does not need to be said, it is not uncommon, everyone knows it in their hearts.

After finally understanding what happened this year, Lu Ze thought about it, took a photo of Mickey driving, edited the text, turned on the address display, and clicked send.

"The new movie "Effect", September 17, 23, on the shelves of video stores in various cities in the UK at 8 o'clock in the morning, directed by Mitch Taylor (Zhang Weiyu), starring: me. ”

The hand speed of the melon-eating audience has never disappointed Lu Ze, and in just one minute, there were hundreds of comments and more than 300 likes.

"Wait...... Who is this?

"New movie? Lu Ze...... I'm grass! Lu Ze!"

"Grandpa! The actor you follow posted on Weibo today! I'll burn some paper for you!"

"I'm grass, I haven't posted on Weibo for more than a year, I thought it was a stolen account just now, I wanted to expose the true face of the number thief, but I looked at the propaganda slogan that this stick couldn't make two farts, oh, it's Lu Ze. ”

"Don't look, get out. ”

"No money, I'm waiting to see the gun version. (dog face)"

"I want to vomit when I cry, watching Lu Ze's Weibo, I can't control my tears, I was about to vomit at dinner, but you just came back and asked me to pay for it, and then ...... I swallowed it back. ”

"Lu Ze: Big brother, do you want to buy a disc?" (dog face)

"The crime of producing, selling, and disseminating obscene or pornographic materials for profit is sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than five years, and a fine, and if the circumstances are serious, a sentence of not less than ten years, to life imprisonment, and confiscation of property. (dog face)"

Looking at these unserious comments, Lu Ze was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all, and continued to scroll down with a stiff expression, sure enough, the fans are still those fans, and they are still so picky.

"Has anyone replied? I'll see. ”

Mickey glanced at Lu Ze's mobile phone curiously, but unexpectedly, Lu Ze directly turned off the mobile phone screen, and hummed a British rock song with the stereo casually.

"Drive seriously! Don't always look around. ”

"If you don't look at it, you won't look at it, what are you arguing about. ”

When Mickey turned his head around, Lu Ze turned on his phone again, only to find that there were many people Lu Ze followed @ himself.

"Director Zhuang Yu: Lu Ze's new movie, who is in the UK? Or have friends in the UK? Remember to help me bring one back @Huang Liu@Song Guiyuan@Zheng Yi@Li Wei. ”

"Song Guiyuan has a son: @陆泽什么时候跑英国拍电影去了, yes, this is in line with international standards, what more friends in the UK, Lu Ze is not there? Remember to bring two back. @庄羽"

"Zheng Yi: Help me bring a @Lu Ze. ”

"Guo Mingde: And me, look at the level of this British director. @陆泽. ”

There is everything to say below, but it is generally for Lu Ze to bring a disc back, by the way, to joke about Lu Ze, just kidding, and many directors and screenwriters expressed their expectations for the movie cooperated by "monster actor Lu Ze" and "British evil ghost director Mitch Taylor", and what is even more excessive is that Song Guiyuan, the king of eight calves, is going to the customs to report Lu Ze's smuggling of CDs.

In short, it was either a joke or an expectation, but no one mentioned that Lu Ze had reached the predicament of begging for a living in the video tape market, because they dared to reply to Lu Ze, which proved that they were Lu Ze's true friends, and out of their understanding of Lu Ze, they firmly believed that as long as Lu Ze could have the opportunity to film, it would be stable!

At the same time, in a high-end villa located in the second ring of the imperial capital, a woman wearing big-flowered pajamas and couldn't hide her extravagance was gently shaking the crib, and the kind smile on her face couldn't hide it, until the fleshy child in the bed fell asleep, and then quietly walked to the balcony to call her son-in-law.

"Hey, Xiaojun. ”

"Mom, it should be past ten o'clock in China, is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

"Mom wants to ask you something, can you go to the video store on the 17th and buy a movie disc called "The Effect" and send it to Mom? Okay, then I'm sorry for you. ”

......

The fair-skinned little hand kept tapping on the mobile phone screen, the baby's fat little face was still not smiling, she hid in the quilt, kept asking several British purchasing agents for the price, and chose the most suitable price to pay.

"Xuanxuan, I'm not sleeping yet, what time is it. ”

The door was quietly pushed open, and a middle-aged woman reprimanded her with some displeasure, and she had already turned off her mobile phone, turned over and lay down, closed her eyes, and pretended to snore at the moment when the door was pushed open.

......

"Okay parents, don't bother, don't bother, okay, then you can send your child over for a trial class this weekend, if you and your child both think it's suitable, let's move on, well, okay, goodbye. ”

Sighing, gently hammering her waist, and drinking the last sip of tea from her teacup, she picked up her bag and walked out of the office, only the clatter of high heels in the hallway, and then she made a phone call to communicate with the other party in fluent English.

"Hey Britney, you're doing a PhD in Cambridge right now, right? I have something I need to ask you for, can you go to the video store on the 17th and buy me a tape of The Effect? Can you? Thank you so much. ”

......

From the day the news was announced, countless people were looking forward to Lu Ze continuing to bring them visual and spiritual impact after a year, time passed little by little, and finally everyone welcomed the arrival of the 17th, and at this time, Lu Ze embarked on a return journey.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I've been tired of coming to England with me for so many days, so I'll take you to relax. ”

"The relaxation you said is definitely not a good thing, in fact, it is not a hurry to leave, the poster is finished, the video store is also distributed, and I don't have my share, I don't have any need to stay, it's better to go home and sell wine if I'm bored. ”

"Plus comfort your rich girlfriend?"

"Sort of. ”

Lu Ze was carrying his suitcase, standing at the gate of the airport, and a plane took off behind him, which also aroused his heart, put the bag on his back, hammered Mickey's chest, hugged him and patted him on the back.

"Then I'll go, you can go back too. ”

"Call me when you get to Huaxia, pay more attention to safety, by the way, if we really make money this time, don't hesitate, let's form a combination." ”

took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his parents, Lu Ze groaned, put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, and replied with a smile.

"I thought about it, and I left!"

"See you later, bye!"

Lu Ze walked simply, walked into the airport gate with two long legs, and the security personnel picked up the explosion-proof test strip and scraped it twice on his body, but Mickey's shout came from behind him.

"We're going to be billionaires, not by your rich girlfriend!"

"Is this man crazy?"

A white couple next to him looked at Mickey speechlessly, this gaze didn't need to be guessed, it was just to treat Mickey as a fool, Lu Ze didn't answer, just raised his right hand and made an OK gesture.

......

"When you reach your destination, the store is on your left, and the whole journey is eight kilometers and takes 24 minutes. ”

"Do you have any Effect? I want three, the one on the poster behind you. ”

Pushing open the door of the video store, the panting Ma Bohai attracted the attention of everyone in the store, just half an hour after class, he pedaled all the way to follow the navigation all the way to this one of the few video stores in London, pointed to the poster behind the clerk and hurriedly asked.

This poster looks a little gloomy, on the street of a desolate village, Lu Ze turned his back on his back, only half of his face was turned, with a look of depression, his eyes looked straight out of the poster, just like looking at Ma Bohai, this is nothing, the weird thing is that around him, there are countless mouths.

Ma Bohai didn't have time to think about the meaning of this poster, and stared at the clerk eagerly, hoping to get a positive answer in her mouth, but he was still disappointed after all, but this was not his surprise, this film was so popular in China that he knew in his heart that he was lucky to be able to buy it, and there was no way to buy it.

Said thank you to the clerk, and then the soreness and weakness caused by the physical overdraft began to stand out, and he pushed the door open with difficulty, sat on the green belt, took out his mobile phone, and sent a voice.

"I didn't grab it, "Effect" is too popular in the UK, it's out of stock now, if you wait, it's estimated that you can get it in two or three days, and if you don't wait, I'll give you a refund now. ”

After sending the voice, he took out the water bottle under the bicycle and took three sips, and replied there, and after listening, he reluctantly returned the deposit to others, and looked at the sky speechlessly.

"Lu Ze, Lu Ze, why is it so difficult for me to earn you some money, I'm tired enough to choke and haven't bought it, and I don't know what magic you have, alas, I lost my wife and broke my soldiers~"

Putting the water bottle back, he limped up and pedaled the bicycle, and slowly rode in the direction of the school, but finally he couldn't hold back and spat out a fragrant word.

"I'm x you're a dead agent. ”

Something seems wrong......

In fact, the crazy robbery of "Effect" did not cause much waves, after all, the scene is still very orderly, there is no kind of price drop scene that breaks the head, but everyone rushed early, went to the door of the video store to line up, and foreign shoe dogs will also line up to grab shoes, this kind of scene is not uncommon, and the people who buy it are actually all to earn an errand fee, not to mention that there is no high or low job, there is nothing to belittle in order to make money.

However, the fact that this scene has changed from brand stores and electronic and digital product stores to audio and video stores is more or less news, and some people even wonder if video stores have rejuvenated themselves.

But it has nothing to do with Mickey, who is talking to Thor, who wants to hang himself, on the phone, looking at the sales list and smiling.

17532/3h......

......

"What is this kid doing with Mickey? Fake! My daughter is acting in a movie, but she won't even give away a Blu-ray disc? Don't let Lao Tzu see him again, or Lao Tzu will break his legs!

Depp was angry because he didn't buy "The Effect", which is actually okay, it's just that there are more than 40 people sitting in the bar ready to watch the movie played by Elena, which is okay, and the most fucked up thing is that he called these people......

He didn't hear the news of Huaxia even if he was a British, and how did he know how popular "Effect" was in Huaxia, and everyone got up at four or five o'clock to line up, but he got up at eight o'clock in the morning, trimmed his beard, combed his back, and put on a suit, and walked to the door of the video store, only to be told by the clerk that it was for sale!

He wanted the drunkards to see how good his daughter was, but now he ...... It's definitely a big stain on his life as a well-known Liverpool football hooligan, so now, he's ready to intimidate Mitch.

"Mickey! You are a miser! I heard that you still let my daughter cook and clean, don't you? Elena has done so much hard work that you can't even give her a disc? You must not show up in Lionheart, Roberts Street, or Anfield, or I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

"Dad, don't say it. ”

Elena has red eyes and wants to snatch Depp's phone, but she is actually sad, Depp cares about a movie disc of "Effect", and she also cares about this movie disc, but it is not only limited to the disc, but what it represents.

"Depp, I think there is some misunderstanding between us......"

"Grandma Shrimp Falk, you're dead, I'll go look for you, you'd better not go back to Ilkrüburg from now on, I know you don't have a place to live, you can only live there, I'll go to you now, Bastard!"

"But I've already mailed the CD, I've been mailing it for three days, what?

"What the hell are you...... Huh?"

"Is Yelena Depp here?

A drop of cold sweat flowed from Mickey's forehead on the other side of the phone, he was really afraid of Depp, this strong man chased more than a dozen Manchester United fans by himself, and the bloodiness of the scene left a deep shadow on Mickey as a child, if it was because the courier was late, he was really chopped by Depp and fed to the dog, he was unyielding!

"Fake! I'm going to complain about him! I'm in the same city! I've been mailing it for three days! I've let the snail deliver the mail faster than him! I'm going to be threatened by you! I'm going to be scared out of my heart! Mondstadt Express ...... I'm going to blow it up! Depp, you son of a bitch! You can't wait any longer! You ......."

"Bye-bye. ”

Depp's mobile phone is not very good, after all, the mobile phone is just a tool for him to shake people, Mickey's words were all heard in the ears of more than 40 people present, and the scene was once embarrassing, as if the embroidery needle could make a loud noise when it fell to the ground, Depp smiled...... Clapped his hands...... Cough gently.

"Okay, I know it's a misunderstanding, we've got a movie to watch, and ...... Do you dare to wait for Lao Tzu to sign for it......!

"Stop! Stop! Don't do it! Don't do it, Depp!"

When the courier who was almost scared to pee his pants left the Lionheart Bar tremblingly, Elena happily opened the package, and inside was a beautifully packaged disc case, which was different from the one circulating on the market, and it was obviously ...... Well, it's actually Mickey who bought a high-end disc case......

But for Elena, this is the limited edition that Mickey has created for her, because she doesn't know that the box is available at the video store her dad went to this morning.

Anyway, she was intoxicated, and felt that all the hard work and grievances just now during the filming had disappeared, and if she could, she was willing to cook for Mickey and the mixed rice, and she could cook for as long as she wanted...... Picking up the disc case, there was a page left on the back of the delivery, and she picked it up and watched.

"Thank you for all you have done for me, Lu Ze, and the crew of "The Effect", to Yelena Depp, Mitch Taylor. ”

She floated again, selectively blind, shielded Lu Ze and the crew of "Effect", and Depp couldn't stand it anymore with a look of Sichun, walked over and picked up the disc case, and entered the bar to prepare for the screening.

"Pay attention to Dad, don't scratch it, I'm going to keep it for the rest of my life. ”

"I know, don't worry, baby. ”

Gently tear off the plastic cover of the outer packaging of the disc case, the white lacquered disc has no features, Depp picked up the disc, gently put it into the optical drive, and slowly twisted the volume knob of the speaker.

The disc was read by the disc drive, and it spun with a rustling sound, and then six LCD TVs hanging from the ceiling above the bar lit up at the same time......

People quietly watched the TV, sipped a beer from time to time, and waited for the movie screen to appear, but what they didn't know was that the moment Depp opened the disc case, a demon knife with a desperate aura was slowly coming out of its scabbard and about to pierce them deeply.

The story ~ starts with a calm gray and rainy morning......

“......”
