the world is at stake

Peter spoke in a funny tone, laughed, and was in a great mood.But the old Baker didn't want to listen to this nonsense, he just asked the key point, "Peter, can you still make the same film?"

Peter smiled and nodded to express 'yes', but after a few nods, the smile disappeared and he fell into deep thought.After a while, he whispered: "It only took two screenwriters three days to write the script of this film, but the idea of ​​the film is not theirs.

Shooting took two months without much expensive sets.All the shots were shot in real locations in Washington, and the most expensive expense was a ten-to-one model of the White House, as well as a large number of explosion scenes.

To be honest, the key to this movie is not how much money was spent.Its soul comes from...Major Chanders in the lead role.If it weren't for his incomprehensible demands, the film would be a decidedly kitschy B-movie.

As for me, I have the current template and can do some imitation.But I can't guarantee that I have better ideas, and it's hard to even shoot the same effect.

Because many thrilling shots can only be completed by Major Chanders himself.Like lots of shootouts and car chases, I can't think of anyone else who can do that? "

Peter was fairly honest, and he didn't say that he could do it all.After all, the crew knew very well that only 'Major Chanders' was the one who kept his word during filming, and no one else could do it.

Even the editing is in the hands of the major, and many unprecedented techniques come from his orders.The editor was disobedient beforehand, but afterwards he could only express his admiration.

If you insist on imitating, I'm afraid you will end up like "painting a tiger is not an anti-dog", which will provoke ridicule.

"Isn't it okay to leave that guy?" Old Baker sighed unwillingly, "This movie has a hundred times the rate of return, it's too profitable."

Vivien Leigh's "Gone with the Wind" was only paid $25.Even if the inflation rate is ten times higher, a whopping $[-] is just enough for Zhou Qingfeng to make a movie.

But Old Baker predicted that Zhou Qingfeng's "bad film" would earn at least tens of millions of dollars within the year, and it would only earn more in the future.The film itself is a cornucopia.

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Peter, as the director, shook his head, "The income of this movie does not only come from the box office, but also other income."

"What else?" Old Baker asked in surprise.

"As far as I know, the producers intend to make money selling peripheral products. Like the World War II 'Willis' jeep that the main character drives in the film.

Major Chanders joked once that he had bought on credit all the used military 'Willis' jeeps owned by the Post-War Property Administration, over a hundred thousand.

Now that the movie is a hit, second-hand military 'Willis' jeeps are sure to sell a lot.Young people will love the products used by celebrities and are willing to pay for them. "

'Willis' cost more than $700, half the price second-hand.

Major Chanders himself is the deputy director of the 'Administrative Authority', and he gets the goods on credit, or at an internal price.Even if a car only makes fifty dollars...

"You can earn at least $500 million, or even $1000 million." Baker Sr. broke out a number that made him suffer from pink eye disease.Who wouldn't want to earn such easy money?

Don't underestimate the enthusiasm of Americans to buy cars.With the blessing of the movie trend, as long as the price is not too outrageous, [-] jeeps are really not much—maybe it can trigger a panic buying trend, so you can earn more.

"It's not just the car, but also the clothes." Peter sighed, "Don't you think the clothes worn by the leading actors in the movie are very special? They were all designed by Major Chanders himself, and the patents have been registered.

Recall that the actress Lena changed more than ten sets of clothes, seven or eight bags, shoes, hats, and even underwear in the movie, all of which are patented styles.

I have to say that those styles are very beautiful.I bet it won't be long before the same outfits are selling out.Women will buy these fashion items like they bought silk stockings back then.

Besides, the Major seemed to have further ideas.He certainly won't just make one movie, so the next movie will also attract a lot of attention.He said that he wanted to place advertisements in the film, and he could make a lot of money by selling advertisements. "

"Selling commercials in movies? The idea is unprecedented."

Listening to Peter counting the cases one by one, the old Baker only felt a pain in his head and couldn't help complaining: "How can Chanders make more money than us Jews? What's going on in his head?"

The blockbuster success of a film that propelled 'Chanders' straight into high society.He is not just an actor, but also a soldier, which is a super plus.

No matter what 'Chanders' does in the future, he will be able to get a lot of free resources.With the aura of "star" and "hero", not to mention running for president like Reagan, you can also learn from Schwarzenegger to become governor.

Even if a loan is required, the bank will be happy to give the largest amount and the lowest interest rate to 'Chanders' who has a super ability to absorb money.

If possible, Old Baker wished he could start his own film company immediately, sign dozens of film shooting contracts with Chanders, and squeeze his earning power ruthlessly.

It's a pity that Zhou Qingfeng is not something anyone can handle. He can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, but he only has one requirement for Old Baker - a petrochemical refinery.

The refining and chemical industry in the United States is well developed.However, Zhou Qingfeng, as an officer in the Pentagon, is unlikely to go to purchase oil equipment even though he is currently involved in the film industry.

"Do you want to purchase oil refining equipment in the United States in the name of Israel, and then sell it to Chanders' next family?"

"Chanders will not give any more deposits, he will only look for other agents. If he does find one, he may turn around and demand money from me."

"Maybe really take advantage of your Jewish friends in America and ask them to help. Chanders is definitely a genius with money and he's willing to spend money."

"How about... directly opening an oil company in the United States as a cover?"

Chapter 85 The villain wants to counterattack

The movie was pretty good, but Li Ji forced a smile on her face.Because she recognized at a glance that the heroine in the film was her rival Lena.Seeing her husband interacting hotly with him on the screen, she was so wronged that she almost cried.

And in the same open-air theater as the "Chanders couple", Marco Shi, who had just been released from house arrest, was also bitter, holding back tears-one missed move, and the enemy actually turned his nose up and became a star in the United States.

Father Clark COS MacArthur made a lot of mistakes and omissions, but there is really no hard evidence to prove that he is in common.Although there are many shit bowls on his head, it is not convenient to send him to court.

For the 'Brotherhood' group, they can only be forced to retire and placed under residential surveillance.

Mar Keshi replaced the intelligence chief of the Far East Army, and if he was the least dangerous of his accomplices, he did something practical.After he was forced to retire, he retained some freedom of movement, so that he wouldn't even be able to leave the house.

But it's better not to leave the house than to leave the house. Mar Keshi bumped into Zhou Qingfeng's "bad movie" when he came out and was released all over the United States.The enthusiasm that erupted in the media and theaters stunned the American from later generations.

Buy a ticket and go to the open-air theater to see it. When others are discussing how the hero performed difficult stunts like flying over a wall, Ma Keshi already understood that Chanders is Zhou Qingfeng.

Only Zhou Qingfeng, who has undergone physical strengthening, has extremely superb skills, and he has shot all kinds of incredible shots, so that Yankees, who have always worshiped individual heroism, obediently paid for the movie, and were full of praise.

Knowing who the enemy is, Marco hates and annoys him.He forced himself to calm down and think about how to reverse the current defeat.When leaving the open-air cinema, the ticket seller called to stop him and asked...

"Sir, do you want a 'Willis' jeep that has experienced the baptism of war? It is definitely an authentic military product, with durable leather and powerful performance. Each one is only 350 US dollars, and you will get a one-year warranty when you order now."

What? !

Mar Keshi turned his head and found a store outside the parking lot of the open-air cinema.Many people gathered here to choose second-hand US military post-war materials.The most conspicuous of these is the 'Willis' jeep that has become a symbol of the US military.

People who watch movies are often excited by the plot, and they often consume impulsively when they see all kinds of equipment that have appeared on the screen.

In the film, the hero wears a US military coat, leather jacket, military cap, or wears a special style of sunglasses.These items are displayed outside the theater to attract audiences to purchase.

Mar Keshi walked around the stall with a few male audiences, and found that there were a lot of people paying.Most people spend a small amount of money to buy some US military souvenirs, and some people happily sign a check and drive away a second-hand 'Willis'.

If the female audience is not interested in military products, there are also more than [-] types of clothing, shoes, hats and bags for purchase.In the film, the actress wears extremely sexy erotic lingerie, and the shopping guide will quietly suggest buying it.

The underwear designed by Uncle Zhou is not the current rustic style in the 50s.

Suspenders, lace, pantyhose, steel rings, American girls have never seen these fashion items designed for "charming men", and they can spend money happily.

Even if none of the above products can impress customers, there are also special movie posters and small toys.As long as ten cents, it is also very good to buy as a gift for the children.

Marco stayed for half an hour, and found that with the help of the movie boom, the sales and profits of the theater store were surprisingly high.

Men's stores are basically second-hand military products, the cost is very low, but they are sold at high prices based on feelings.A brand new 'Willis' costs over $700, which may not be as profitable as a used one.

The products in the women's store are even more profitable.Palm-sized silk thongs cost more than ready-to-wear.This thing is not available anywhere else, it is a monopoly in disguise.

Just now the actress made the best advertisement in the movie. Wearing this thing doesn't just stun the male lead, but it makes the man watching the movie go crazy.

"Damn Zhou Qingfeng, he cooked a bowl of patriotic chicken soup for Americans, and then made money from it." Marco Shi didn't know how many products were sold, but he could imagine that the amount must be exaggerated.

"It's no wonder this guy refuses to end the dungeon mission. He just wants to maximize his profits. After making enough money, he will naturally have a way to use it to strengthen China's national power."

If you know it, you know it, but Marco still has no idea how to solve the current problem.He was going to drive back to the house and turn on the radio to hear the station's report on 'Bad Movie', which mentioned that the reporter was going to the address of 'Major Chanders' for an interview.

With a thought in his heart, Marco wrote down the address reported on the radio, "This guy lives at 6809 Jefferson Avenue, west of Arlington, not far from me."

Now that Zhou Qingfeng is a public figure, Mar Keshi is hiding in secret.If you can kill him with one shot, can you win immediately?

Once this idea appeared in his mind, it could never fade away. Marco was so excited about it, he had to seriously consider the feasibility and subsequent risks of doing so.

Judging from the movie, Zhou Qingfeng is almost an all-round fighter.Shooting, fighting, driving, everything.Ordinary means can't kill him at all.

"But if he shoots from a distance, he can't guard against it."

Marco did not act rashly.He originally wanted to discuss it with his 'Brotherhood' companions, but he quickly gave up this idea considering the IQ of those pig teammates.

Let's go home first.

Due to being forced to retire, Marco is currently in tight hands.He has no residence in Washington and can only live in a motel for now.The messy hotel room is filled with all kinds of materials that can be collected, most of which are about the current Korean battlefield.

The walls are covered with newspaper clippings, not good news.The latest news is about Ridgway, the second commander of the United Nations Army in the Korean War who failed to turn the tide of the war.

The United Nations army is increasing its troops, and the offensive is raging.However, the equipment of the Volunteer Army has been greatly strengthened, and the more it fights, the more stable it becomes, and the more it fights, the more confident it becomes.

After accepting the guidance of Soviet and East German military officers, the lessons of modern warfare summed up with millions of casualties in the European battlefield were passed on to the Chinese.

Strategic air strikes, thousand-plane bombing, tank battles, these are all things that the PLA, which is still very poor, has never considered. It is really learning while applying it to the US military and... Lao Jiang.

The 'Tu-4' fleet is now bombing Taipei every three days, and the 'Stuka' can target and clear the Kinmen and Matsu fortifications and barracks without escort.

Even if the Seventh Fleet is across the Taiwan Strait, it is useless.

In August, Qian Xuesen and his party arrived in the imperial capital.Lao Jiang also took back his wife Song Meiling, but he brought back a wretched old woman with a haggard face.

Fifty or so so-called "Mothers of the Nation" already have mental problems, demented like fools.She held her palms all day, and asked herself where her severed fingers went when she met everyone.

The news of Soong Meiling being kidnapped and cut her fingers in New York eventually spread in Taiwan.Coupled with being bombed from time to time, the Chiang family dynasty shrunk in Taiwan is really a bit precarious, and its morale has collapsed.

But these news were meaningless to Marco. He tore up the relevant newspaper clippings and threw them into the trash can.He realizes that the target of the struggle now is in the United States, in Washington.

A map of Washington was pinned to the wall.

'6809 Jefferson Avenue' is marked.

Marco served in the U.S. military decades later, and also worked in anti-narcotics. In fact, what he is best at is small-unit operations.Just looking at the layout of the block and surrounding buildings, he had a rough hunting plan in his mind.

"Although I am alone, all I need is a car, a high-precision rifle, and some accurate information. I can be at the right place at the right time and kill Zhou Qingfeng."

Standing with his hips akimbo in front of the map, Marco felt complacent, feeling that things had finally returned to what he was good at.He quickly drew up a plan, including scouting the environment, buying guns, and planning the retreat.

The next day, all major newspapers in the United States basically reported on the front page headlines about the viewing situation of "bad movies".The box office of the premiere broke through one million dollars, which is the envy of many Hollywood stars and directors.

For the United States, which currently has a population of about 5000 million, it is extremely rare for nearly one percent of the people to watch the same movie at the same time.

Almost everyone who has watched the movie recommends their relatives and friends to watch it too.The wave of word of mouth will definitely lead to more moviegoers, and the box office peak is far from coming.

Marcos bought all the newspapers he could, and pasted new clippings in his room.He could know Zhou Qingfeng's family situation from the photos and text descriptions, saving a lot of on-site investigation work.

'Chanders' is indeed on fire, BOOM!

The American people not only marveled at his performance, but also marveled at his shooting talent.Although some people criticized his films for having a lot of erotic scenes, no one dared to say that his films were not good.

In-depth interpretations of plots and shots appear in newspapers.

The professors of the film school all ran out to stand for 'Chanders' - the exposure scenes in other films are obscene, but the eroticism of 'American Hero' is aesthetic.

With this kind of argument, whoever says that Zhou Qingfeng's "bad movies" are not good is simply betraying the country.The old antiques of the Film Association have compromised a long time ago, and now they can only sing their praises in reverse.

Many movie fans wanted to communicate with their heroes after watching the movie, so Zhou Qingfeng's residence was soon surrounded 24 hours a day.

Zhou Qingfeng would not avoid it, but was extremely enthusiastic.Every day I come out to meet fans, say hello, take pictures, sign posters and so on.

For the sake of safety, the police specially sent a small team to maintain order in the community - after all, the crazy shooters in the United States are famous, and the Americans know it well.

This information is written in the newspaper.

Marco Shi bravely went to No. 6809 Jefferson Avenue to watch the excitement and conduct a field trip.It turned out that I couldn't drive in when I got close to the block.

Not being able to drive is a hassle, but manageable.

Unfortunately, American communities are mostly single-family villas, with no commanding heights within a few hundred meters.This lacks a suitable attack position for sniping.

"Perhaps we should figure out Zhou Qingfeng's daily action patterns and snipe him halfway." Marco Shi walked around Jefferson Avenue, but couldn't find a suitable and safe place, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

At the same time, across from Zhou Qingfeng's home, the FBI agent in charge of monitoring him received an order from his superiors to change the previous stalking and wiretapping to VIP protection.

In front of the closed window, the male detective was staring through the binoculars at the kitchen of Zhou Qingfeng's house opposite.Through the cracks in the shutters, 'Major Chanders' could probably be seen washing the dishes.

"Will someone come to kill this big hero and big star?"

The female detective took a cup of coffee and stood behind her partner, looking at the reporters and movie fans blocking the street outside.Many people, like them, are interested in everything about 'Major Chanders'.

Even if the dishes are washed, there are people watching.

The male agent shook his head, "Next year's general elections of both parties will require stars with huge popularity. Chanders is just at the top of his power, and no one can match him. He will bring great benefits to either side.

Director Hoover's personal orders will soon bring more people in charge of protecting our targets.No matter what was suspicious before, in short, nothing happened to him now.

As for whether anyone wants to make trouble.

Believe me, we have a lot of sick people in this country.Their biggest wish is to kill a famous person so that they can be remembered by history. "

The female detective sighed in frustration, "They are all human beings, and Major Chanders on the opposite side has become a big star known all over the world. We are so close to him, but we are wasting our lives, no one knows about it."

Chapter 86 The Blessing of Qi People

Marcus, wearing a baseball cap, holding a newspaper and coffee, leaned against an intersection on Jefferson Avenue.Across from him, two patrol officers came out of the fast food restaurant, chatted and returned to the police car.

"Three minutes and 47 seconds." Marco Shi glanced at his watch, turned and left the street.

In the eyes of others, he is just a roadside idler playing newspaper crossword puzzles.In effect he was estimating the time it would take the patrolmen to buy lunch, hoping to find just the right opening to strike.

Zhou Qingfeng's "bad movie" was released for a week, and the total box office broke through 1000 million US dollars, shocking the entire United States.

This should be the fastest film ever to break through tens of millions of dollars at the box office.The media estimated that its total box office during the year will exceed 5000 million US dollars.
