Chapter 642: Box Office Rankings
Qiao Xiu looked at the rearview mirror outside the window of the magic guide car, and the towering Sage Tower gradually moved away from Qiao Xiu.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Ciri sat in the passenger seat and took a nap, she followed Qiao Xiu back and forth for two days in a row, and she was already starting to feel a little sleepy.
Humans are far less physically than Chaos Demons, especially in terms of resistance to fatigue.
"Heri, if you're sleepy, you can get some sleep first."
Qiao Xiu glanced at Ciri who was sitting beside him, Nolan's season gradually entered the hot summer season, and Ciri did not enter the state of quilt essence when he was sleepy.
"Wait... Where to go? β
Ciri rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, Qiao Xiu didn't look like he was going back to the Hearthstone Tavern.
"White Vitex Theatre, I'm going to talk to Sir White Vitex about the filming of a new movie."
"The script has been thought of?"
When Ciri heard the words 'new movie', her sleepiness was swept away in an instant, as if she had heard a spell that would refresh people's minds.
"I just figured out what the subject matter was."
Qiao Xiu held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other hand took out a drawing left by the man in black, which clearly wrote down the experiments of a magic puppet called 'Heart Lock'
"This is the intruder you met in your consciousness space?"
Ciri took the drawings from Qiao Xiu's hand, and the contents on them were translated into the common text of the mainland by the man in black.
"Humans in the past used it to control their emotions, I think it was to alleviate the fear of something outside the world."
Qiao Xiu had already read the contents of this drawing once, and further affirmed that his plan was feasible.
"Why do I see so many words 'rampage' and 'abandonment'?"
Ciri tried to read the above and found that although it was written in the common continental script, there was a large number of complex and obscure words in it, and the most mentioned words were mainly in the word 'failure'.
"If this kind of magic guide machine is put in now, it will definitely not pass the audit of the Nolan Magic Guide Machinery Guild, and the reliability is too poor." Ciri said.
"Because its role is to absorb human emotions, not to lock in, and the method of making it is also forbidden in today's Nolan."
"At the heart of the production is the human soul..."
Ciri whispered a line from the previous one, and the method of making the first step alone gave a creepy feeling, which was 'stripping away the human soul'.
This magic puppet called 'Heart Lock' requires hundreds or even thousands of soul infusions to complete a core, and it may not be successful.
"Don't talk about reviewing this design drawing, just if it is seen by the Magic Guiding Machinery Association, it will be arrested and locked up in the law enforcement team." Ciri returned the drawings to Joshua.
"There's still a lot of unknowings about these things, but the reason they're 'scrapped' is because they absorb too much negativity."
On the way to drive the magic car, Qiao Xiu glanced at the house in the distance, on which was the movie poster of "The Shawshank Redemption".
"One or two human emotions may not affect them, but the audience of a movie is not in the single digits."

Sir Bravit stood in front of a blackboard and silently lit his pipe.
On the blackboard was a statistical table, something he had learned from the Black Pigeon News Agency.
This table is a clear way to record the revenue of all the films, rather than recording them on one sheet of paper after another.
When you look up at work every day, you can see those 'uplifting numbers' that make you even more motivated.
It's a pity that Sir White Vitex didn't feel excited when he looked at the statistics on the blackboard.
The movie "The Shawshank Redemption" was very high at the box office, and it was still a little sluggish when it was released in Nolan at the beginning, and it was far less than "Avatar" that instantly caused a sensation in the whole Nolan.
But the box office of this movie has gradually risen over time, and some people are willing to spend money to buy tickets twice, three or even four times to watch this movie in theaters without stopping.
This is the charm of "The Shawshank Redemption" itself, but unfortunately he is still ranked fourth at the box office.
The top three are occupied by "Avatar", "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" and "Beauty and the Devil".
Avatar is a veritable box office devouring machine, far surpassing the second-place "Beauty and the Devil" by a long distance.
But no matter how these films are compared, they have all generated sky-high profits for Nolan's theater industry, and Sir Bravit has become Nolan's most famous theater manager.
But Sir White Vitex did not feel any joy, for he was still an artist at heart, an unruly artist.
He doesn't have much interest in money, and his only dream at the moment is to make a good movie himself.
Sir Bravitex tried to do just that, taking advantage of the recent gap to direct a film that was released in his own cinemas.
It's a pity that the final result made him very dissatisfied, the box office of the movie itself was very sluggish, and most of the audience didn't buy it.
What really makes Sir White Vitex unacceptable is... This movie is nowhere near as good as The Shawshank Redemption.
"How can you eat bread after you've tasted the deliciousness of cake..."Sir Bramble took a deep breath of tobacco and came to his desk to look at the script he had written in the past.
When Sir White Vitex was young, he was proud of his talent for a while, but now when Sir White Vitex looks at these scripts, his mind is full of thoughts that are 'naΓ―ve' and 'no connotation', "If Qiao Xiu doesn't write a new script, I'm going to die." β
It may have been that the god of art had heard Sir Bravithorn's wish, and soon after he had fallen into a state of decadence, one of the attendants pushed open the door of the study and hurried to him.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, he's here!" The news brought by the squire caused Sir Whitethorn to jump straight from his position.
"Let Mr. Qiao Xiu come and see... No, I'm going to see him personally. β
Sir Bravit picked up the coat hanging on the hanger, extinguished the pipe in his mouth, put on his clothes and hurried out of the study.
"He's in your private screening room!"
"My screening room? What's going on inside? "Sir White Vitex had a bad premonition.
"The "Tragic Notes" that was just released a few days ago."
Sir Bravitex tensed up at the news, no less than when he was a student at the Fallosesi School of Art, when his tutor carefully read the new script he had written in front of him.
