Many years later, at a banquet that was so extravagant that people were envied and jealous, when Lin Taiping faced a large group of aristocratic ladies who loved movies, and was asked why he chose to shoot "Titanic" back then, he would always sigh with embarrassment and emotion-

"No way, when it came to making a new movie, the first word that popped into my head was "Titanic", who told me that when I was studying before, I was forcibly pulled by my ex-girlfriend to watch it twelve times, twelve times, twelve times!"

To be honest, it was simply inhuman treatment, Lin Taiping would feel creepy as long as he thought of the terrible scene at that time, even if it was more than ten years later, but frankly speaking, at that time, it was not only his ex-girlfriend who was crazy about "Titanic", in fact, almost the global audience, especially those female audiences, were all fascinated by "Titanic", so they set that incredible horror box office record at that time.

Because of this, when it comes to making a new movie, Lin Taiping immediately reflexively thinks of this movie - the plot that conforms to the world culture of Constance and does not need major modifications, the romantic and beautiful tear-jerking love of life and death, plus the spectacular scene of a luxury cruise ship crashing into an iceberg and sinking...... Seriously, this is definitely a big killer for cheating money!

In fact, it is indeed as he expected, the just-released "Titanic" is like a violent hurricane, with the terrifying momentum that stunned everyone, it swept through the entire Emerald Province in just a few days, and all creatures in its passage were not spared.

In front of the New World Studios in Nantes Port, there are hundreds of meters of queues from morning to night, day and night, and fanatical audiences are pouring in from all directions in the Emerald Province, and they still insist on queuing up despite their eyes being red and hungry.

In order to satisfy the needs of these audiences, Instein the pig can only take a large group of demons with him. Twenty-four hours of continuous screening of "Titanic", and in the end, even the crystal ball was so hot that it spontaneously combusted, but even so, the long queue outside was still extending at a degree visible to the naked eye, and it could circle the earth even if it was connected...... Ahem, I've circled the port of Nantes twice.

It's hard to get a ticket! It's really hard to get a ticket!

On the black market, a movie ticket with an ordinary seat has been fried to fifty gold coins a piece, and the scalpers born in the jade province have simply made a lot of money and become rich overnight. In fact, they didn't dare to show up around New World Studios, because as soon as they stopped there, a large number of fanatical spectators would immediately surround them, and in less than a few seconds they would snatch their tickets and their clothes and pants.

Then, I don't know which bastard is so immoral, he actually spread the news that Baron Michael and Mr. Lin Taiping had a lot of VIPs to increase their tickets, but less than two hours after the news came out, the Baron's Mansion was surrounded by hundreds of luxury carriages. A large number of aristocratic businessmen visited the door under various names, bought and begged for cash, in short, all the means were used, as long as they could get a movie ticket. It's okay for them to compliment Baron Michael on his handsomeness.

Poor Baron Michael only persevered for half a day, and then he left everyone and fled very unrighteously, and Lin Taiping, who was in charge of the management, had no escape. can only be surrounded by fanatical aristocratic businessmen every day, and some beautiful courtesans even throw flattering eyes on him, saying that we are the best at warming the bed or something.

In fact. The huge impact of "Titanic" is not only reflected in the box office, but also in the economic culture of the entire Emerald Province, to take the simplest example, just the commissary in the cinema sold nearly five tons of popcorn and six tons of orange juice in half a month, yes, you read that right, it is calculated in tons!

By the way, the handkerchiefs of the entire Emerald Province are out of stock, and the female audience who cries and faints in the theater every time does not know how many handkerchief factories on the verge of bankruptcy have been saved, and some handkerchief factories have even begun to work overtime to produce that kind of purple yarn hat after receiving sufficient funds...... Yes, it's the kind that Miss Ruth wears, and it sells for thirty gold coins each.

This is nothing, as the influence of the movie boom continues to expand, there are more incredible scenes in the Emerald Province, such as in every street and alley, there are beautiful posters of Count Dracula and Lilu, such as those intimate lovers on a date, all of them have to imitate the classic scene of "Titanic", to play a classic action of opening their arms to face the sea breeze......

What's more exaggerated, the sentence "You jump and I jump" has directly become the most romantic buzzword, many girls after watching the movie, the first time to wipe their red and swollen eyes, ask the boyfriend next to them if they will do this, and even later, I don't know who is so philosophical, and actually derived an unsolvable problem that puzzles countless people - "If I fall into the sea with your mother, who do you save first......"

All in all, it's done!

After the most frenzied half a month had passed, when Baron Michael fled from outside, when he saw the crimson box office number on the account book, he suddenly had a tendency to tremble and have high blood pressure, but this was only the beginning, because just a few seconds later, the butler next to him handed over the second account book with a red face: "My lord, what you just saw is only the income of the first three days, in fact, I have the next ten days of ...... here"

Poof! Needless to say, Baron Michael was so happy that he fainted with blood spurting out of his mouth, and when he woke up with a distorted face, the first thing he did was to hold on to Lin Taiping, who was drinking tea, and came to a feverish to hysterical hug: "Lin, dear Lin, am I dreaming, please slap me a few times, hit me hard, beat me to death!"

Are you sure?Lin Taiping looked at him with a smile, of course a few demons next to him would not be polite, and immediately rushed up with their claws, and shot left and right at Baron Michael's face, to be honest, we have never seen this kind of request, but since you have such a wish, brother, of course we will satisfy you.

Baron Michael's face was swollen into a pig's head, but he still laughed so much that even his back molars were exposed, stimulated by the frenzy of gold coins. This guy suddenly greatly improved his intelligence, and a question full of questions popped: "Dear Lin, I don't understand a little, since movie tickets are sold out in short supply, why don't we directly conduct water curtain movie screenings at the dock like in the last "A Chinese Ghost Demon"?"

That's right, it's clear now that New World Studios simply can't accommodate so many audiences, and even a few times the price of a movie ticket can't meet the needs of avid audiences. If that's the case, why not just hold an open-air screening at the pier, which can allow tens of thousands of people to watch at the same time at once, and is guaranteed to be faster than the current money.

"Because, we're going to keep this craze going for a long time. Lin Taiping drank the strong tea slowly, but touched his chin with a smile on his face, "In addition, I have a long-term plan, unfortunately I can't tell you now...... Ah. Don't mind, in fact I think what you have to think about now is how to deal with those big businessmen. ”

Baron Michael was stunned for a moment, and then only a few seconds later. When he subconsciously turned his head to look, he suddenly saw that the door of the living room had been slammed open, and dozens of murderous and vicious businessmen rushed in with that terrible momentum that had died together.

Guards, Guards, Baron Michael's first instinct was to call the guards. But before he could call for help, dozens of big businessmen had already swarmed up, and Mr. Sanders, who took the lead, directly stretched out two hands. One hand grabbed Baron Michael who wanted to escape, and the other hand held Lin Taiping, who was nothing, and greeted him very warmly: "Dear Mr. Lin, dear Baron, the weather is so good today...... So, are you two interested in talking about the division of New World Cinemas?"

Baron Michael was still a little unconscious, but Mr. Sanders continued with a smile on his face: "That's right, you see, the capacity of New World Studios is obviously no longer enough to meet the needs, as a close friend of the Governor, I would be happy to share the worries of the two of you, for example, we can work together to build dozens of more cinemas in other parts of the port of Nantes and in the major towns of the Emerald Province." ”

Baron Michael was stunned for a few minutes, finally understood, and then immediately trembled with anger, daydreaming, don't I go to build a cinema myself, why should I cooperate with you businessmen who eat people and don't spit out bones, think about it with your knees, you obviously want to get part of the property rights of those movie theaters, and then get a steady stream of box office profits.

"Lord Baron, how can you say that?" Mr. Sanders still smiled so amiably in the face of Baron Michael's anger, "I can guarantee that we don't need you and Mr. Lin to spend a penny, just a little technical support from the two of you, we can come up with a large amount of money to build dozens of movie theaters in Emerald Province in one go, and in return, we only need ten percent of the shares of the movie theater, which is no different from giving away." ”

That is, that is, the surrounding merchants nodded their heads, indicating that they had always been extremely generous, and that they had only invested generously out of love for the cause of art, and Baron Michael gritted his teeth with hatred, and suddenly had the idea of calling the Armed Guards to kill them and cut them all down.

However, he didn't really do it, because Lin Taiping was already smiling and drinking tea, and whispered in his ear: "Mi Gao, I think we can consider that if we build the cinema ourselves, it will not only require a lot of money, but it will also take a long time, and more importantly, don't forget jì, what do you and your uncle need now besides funds?"

"Lin, what do you mean?" Baron Michael came to the roar on his lips, and suddenly stopped very strangely, it was not wrong at all, the Governor wanted to fight against Admiral Hasting, in addition to the large amount of money needed to form a private army, but also those reliable allies, and in this sense, these great merchants with huge wealth in their hands......

Well, enduring the pain and resentment, Baron Michael struggled for a long time with a twisted face, and finally reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Everyone, in fact, even if you don't come, I am planning to discuss this matter with you, the money is endless, everyone's good is really good, so ......"

"So, how about we talk about the specific conditions?" Lin Taiping suddenly stretched out his hand to stop and took over slowly, "First, I will ask Instein to provide the technology and ensure that the movie can only be shown in the cinema; second, you can only get five percent of the shares, and if you feel unreasonable, please go out and turn left; finally, and most importantly, the number of cinemas is limited, and the number of you is too large, so the construction rights of each cinema can only be decided through the auction......"

It's black, it's too dark, dozens of big businessmen looked at each other, and the bright and happy smiles that originally felt that the victory was in hand, suddenly stiffened collectively, Mr. Sanders couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and stammered: "Mr. Lin, the first one is very welcome, the second is acceptable, but the third is ......"

Bang, before Mr. Sanders could finish speaking, the door that had just been knocked open was knocked open again, and hundreds of businessmen completely ignored the obstruction of the head of Mondo, and rushed in directly without fear, shouting loudly from a long distance: "Mr. Lin, dear Mr. Lin, we have just received your letter and heard that you plan to ...... the construction of the cinema."

I agree! I agree completely! I can't agree more!

A few seconds later, Mr. Sanders, who was still wiping a cold sweat just now, immediately raised his hands in favor very wisely, and dozens of big businessmen around him rushed up, desperately pulling out the golden tickets with red faces, at this moment, they finally understood what time is money, even if it was just a delay of a few seconds, a large amount of wealth would be gone.

"What a wise decision. Lin Taiping smiled so much that it was harmless to a man and animals, and easily pushed Baron Michael, who was still stunned, forward, and sent it directly into the group of businessmen with green eyes, "Then, the auction or something, all of them are in charge of Baron Michael, I'll go take a nap first...... Flash!"

In a few seconds he left the parlor, and by the time poor Baron Michael came to his senses, he had already been desperately blocked by the vicious merchants, and Captain Mondo and a group of knights looked at each other with strange faces, not knowing whether they should go up to save the Baron, or whether they should watch him be overwhelmed by the golden ticket.

Lin Taiping, who was the initiator, was already holding a cup of tea at this time, slowly walking along the corridor, under the golden sun at noon, he turned his head very leisurely, and looked at the living room that had become a vegetable market, which was like a pot of porridge, and he could only hear the constant panic screams of the housekeeper of the Baron's Mansion.

"Someone, someone, Lord Baron fainted...... Wait, the Baron is awake again...... Yes, my lord, they just said that they were willing to pay 50,000 gold coins to buy the right to build a movie theater, no, now it is 60,000...... Someone, someone, my lord fainted again!"
