The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 167 Preheating
The next day, Old Fox Lin Xiong and Yang Zhu chattered in the tea break room all morning, and then hurried out alone again.

Within two days, a group of staff from Dahua Investment was transferred from China.
Immediately, this manor has become an overseas branch of Dahua Investment;
And in the next few days, Ian came several times, but he didn't come alone, with a woman and three men behind him, looking like a formal business meeting,

What surprised Lin Tu and the others was that every time Ian came, he just asked those assistants to finalize various contracts with the staff of Dahua Investment verbatim, but he took Yang Zhu to chat, as if the two had been together for a long time. Unseen friends in general.

………………

At the same time, "The Second Depression" began to be hyped in the United States;

What kind of newspapers, subway stations, portal websites, and TV advertisements all appear in it;
On the super giant LED screen in New York's Empire State Plaza, in addition to the promotional advertisements of the movie, two sets of dynamic numbers were added;
One group wrote: "23 days, 5 hours and 17 minutes until 'Second Depression' premieres;"

The other group is a bit mysterious, it reads: "87 days, 19 hours and 17 minutes until the second depression"

For a while, people all over the United States looked at these two sets of figures, and they were a little baffled.
Some people thought: "Which stupid staff member made a mistake? Was the second advertisement slogan wrong?"

And more people began to wonder what this sentence meant because of curiosity. If such a large LED screen stands here, even if the staff made a mistake, it has been a few days, and it should have been changed back a long time ago. Since it has not been changed back, it means that there is another intention.

And the major newspapers and variety shows also joined in, and they all started to solve the mystery as if they were talking after dinner:
………………

"Combined with the movie trailer, this should be a movie about revealing reality, it seems to be about finance,"

"Well, it is said that this movie was made by Huaxia people, um... Are you sure Huaxia people understand finance?"

"Then the second set of numbers should mean that in 87 days, we will encounter a severe economic crisis?"

"My God, I can't believe it. Even Jesus doesn't want to go shopping on Easter. There are still people playing prophecy in this day and age?"

"Or, is this a mysterious power from the ancient East?"

A well-known talk show host said with a little joke in his show.

………………

"For this group of inexplicable numbers, I checked it out,"

"Well, judging from various statistics, we do have a lot of problems economically,"

"but……"

"Judging from the assessment reports of experts over the past few years, our economic growth point is still very strong, and our economic vitality is still strong;"

"As a barometer of the U.S. economy, the Nasdaq stock market is still doing well, and investors around the world have strong confidence in the U.S. economy as always."

"So, it's too ridiculous to be suspicious because of the inexplicable figures of a movie. You know, in China, if you can be an economist, what kind of director are you!?"

"I even suspect that the director made up this set of data on purpose. In fact, he had colluded with the egg suppliers long ago, so that after the box office failed, he walked on the street and asked the residents to throw eggs!"

A host of a financial column reported a set of numbers in a serious manner, and then despised the movie.

………………

Although most of the media guessed that this set of figures predicted that the United States would experience a Great Depression in more than two months, most of them were negative and ironic;

There are also some media in the middle who believe that although these figures are exaggerated, they have at least reminded the United States that some people are not very optimistic about the future of the US economy.

As for the general public, they watched the media's various satires on this movie with a smile like eating melons, which should be regarded as lace news;
But after all, this super-large LED advertisement stands in the most eye-catching Empire Square in New York, and countless media are discussing this movie, which has played a very good role in publicity.

There are still many people betting on the Internet, betting whether this "prophecy" is true, but it is 1 to 100 handicap, and almost no one bet that this prophecy will come true, only one or two young people play It seems like a dollar bet...

………………

In the manor, Little White Rabbit looked at various comments on the Internet on his laptop and curled his lips in disapproval.

Lin Keran on the side was a little anxious: "Yang Zhu, the propaganda method you came up with is not good. Do you want to send out our water army to create momentum?"

Yang Zhu hadn't spoken yet, but the little white rabbit answered first: "Don't send out the navy right now, or something bad will happen!"

Lin Keran looked at her inexplicably, as if saying, do you understand again?
The little white rabbit said confidently: "The boss has always said before that if a drama wants to be successful, a huge contrast in the plot is a must. Reversal is one of the easiest ways to create a sense of surprise for the audience."

"And if my guess is correct, the reason why BOSS has not been controlling the reviews is because it wants to keep this kind of low-pressure public opinion going, and wait until the movie is released before starting to control the reviews,"

"And when the time comes, the United States really has a financial crisis. Under the huge psychological contrast, this movie will really become a masterpiece of a generation."

Yang Zhu nodded approvingly, this little rabbit is getting better at thinking, not bad!
So he said: "Actually, I asked Yin En to temporarily block the giant LED screen in the Empire Plaza, and I asked him to control the media for me, overwhelmingly negative public opinion."

Lin Keran looked at Yang Zhu in disbelief: "You don't have a fever, do you? This is related to the box office of the movie, what a big piece of meat!"

Little White Rabbit stood up and took the initiative to defend his boss: "When you do things, you need to have a broad vision, and your methods must be straight to the point. The first purpose of this movie is not to go to the box office. As long as the final effect can be achieved, I am afraid of losing a little at the box office." What?"

"Besides, once this movie becomes a masterpiece, our follow-up movies can have their own halo. As long as the quality passes the standard, isn't it easy to harvest the US box office?"

Speaking of this, the little white rabbit looked like an elder, patted Lin Keran's shoulder and said in a rough voice: "Young man, take a long-term view, don't just stare at the fat in front of you and drool." You know, losing weight is a very painful thing!"

Yang Zhu on the side almost didn't laugh out loud. Since this little rabbit left his sight and went to the United States alone to shoot a movie for half a year, the whole person seems to have undergone a lot of changes, as if he has become more thinking, more Confident, more independent;
It turned out that the limp and salty fish attributes on her body had dissipated a lot. Although she still had long hair, her energy and spirit began to "sneak", a bit like a Fushou lady from another world.

Lin Keran on the side was upset: "Of course you are happy to do this. You are the heroine of "Resident Evil 2". If this movie gets a good reputation, you will definitely get the biggest bonus."

"But this movie is solely owned by our Dahua Investment. If it delays the box office during the release period, even if the merchandise sells well in the future, we will be annoyed by those directors right now!"

Yang Zhu smiled disapprovingly: "Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with Ian to ask him to help us get the keys to some of the theaters—although it can only handle 60% of the theaters."

"So, this movie can be postponed until the end of March, which is when the number on the LED screen returns to zero;"

"Even if the first month's box office is not good, we will have enough time in the next two months to pull up the box office of the film's main topic through public opinion hype and other means!"

Lin Keran looked at Yang Zhu in astonishment. The theaters in the United States are not as easy to talk to as in China. They are a group of guys who put their interests first. If the box office is good, they can kneel in front of you and pretend to be a grandson;

But without good box office feedback, it’s not surprising that these guys can throw all your movies into the garbage slot within the constraints of the contract, or even cut them the next day.

So, that Ian, that private fund, how many interest groups are tied behind it, that they have such a great energy, that they can manage this big theater chain that is as powerful as the "Warring States"?
Although it can only handle 60%, in the United States, which emphasizes the "neo-liberal economy" law, this force is also extremely terrifying.

Lin Keran, who has been refused by Yang Zhu and Lin Xiong to get in touch with the inside story, began to think wildly in his mind,
And Yang Zhu in front of her, in Miss Lin's mind, became more and more mysterious...
