Otherworldly entertainment industry

Ibel is a person who knows the good and the bad, and he is like a sponge absorbing water, greedily absorbing these useful experiences.He noticed that Joey didn't really take those nobles seriously, but he still greeted people with a smile and thoughtful reciprocity, and established a very friendly relationship with the famous nobles in this city. He will have connections with the king, cardinals and other top nobles.

As he said, this will be a huge alliance of interests. Once it is in operation, no force can easily contend.

Ibell wasn't the only one who benefited a lot, Joey did too.In his opinion, Iber is really a very attractive person. It stands to reason that if a person's appearance is too outstanding, there will be a sense of distance in the eyes of others, making people unable to get close.Ibel is undoubtedly a handsome man, and he is a handsome man who has nothing to do with adjectives such as 'honest' and 'stable', but for some reason, when he said the same thing, he seemed extraordinarily credible. After getting along these days, Almost all the slaves under Joey's name thought Ibell was a sincere and kind person.

In contrast, they all think Joey is a smart guy.

Smart is a compliment, but as the saying goes, if everyone thinks a person is smart, that person must not be really smart.

In the past, Joey's elder brother also mentioned this point, commenting on Joey's "intelligence leaking out", which is also a "smart face" in the saying, this is actually very unpleasant, because people face such people. Sometimes, he will often increase his defensiveness, and once he finds something wrong in the relationship, it is easy to think of him and become a blatant target.

Why does the culture advocate the word "shouzhuo" so much?And "great wisdom is like a fool" is not for nothing.

After getting such an evaluation, the depressed Joey still looked at the mirror for a long time, and after making many idiotic expressions, he was also embarrassed, because no matter how hard he tried to play an idiot, there seemed to be a few large characters engraved on his face—— I'm playing dumb.

The adjustment has been unavailable for many years, and Joey can only helplessly come to a conclusion, that is, there is no way, it may be because he is too handsome, and it is always difficult to hide too handsome people, and I have not seen those secret agents. Wei, do you want to find someone who is inconspicuous and unremarkable for training?

But now, such an argument is untenable. Ibel is a living example. He is also handsome and inhuman, but he just gives people a sense of stability and reliability, and his affinity is almost full!

He let Ibel follow behind him every day and cultivated him completely as a deputy. Part of the reason was to make up for it silently, and the other part was because he wanted to train an all-round assistant. The rest was that he had to carefully study Ibel's expression, tone, and behavior. Style, etc., try to make him look non-aggressive at the right time, so as to win people's trust.

He doesn't have much interest in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but when he needs to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, he can't give up because of incompetence.

After four or five days like this, it was the day when the mercenary group under Ibel's name gathered. There were more than 100 members in the group, all of them were young and strong, and there were only five women, all of whom were female men like peppers. Joey instantly remembered the famous movie star Julie.

Because everyone is a novice, Joey decided to shoot according to the timeline. Now that the personnel are all in place and the props that should be prepared are almost the same, he led a large team and rushed to the area adjacent to the slums in the outer city of Jiamo. , where he rented a house as the location of the heroine's home.

The movie's shooting budget is made by Charlie the housekeeper. The actors' remuneration, the director's remuneration, all the staff's remuneration, the script manuscript fee, props, rental venue expenses... everything follows the mature industrial structure, and every sum is clearly listed. It is the first movie born in this continent, it will become a template, and all the details are clearly stipulated, so there will be no 'how much money is required for the script? ''Why do you still charge the director's fee for your own movie? ' and the like.

A total of 850 three gold coins. Ibel also asked Joey, since he has money, this movie will definitely make a lot of money, why should he accept other people's investment, and then give them an equal proportion of dividends?

Joey didn't directly tell him the answer to this question. He asked Ibel to think it through before telling him.

……

Howard is 12 years old this year. He lives in a poor area. He has an older sister and a younger brother. Because of malnutrition, he looks yellow and thin, and he doesn't look as tall as a ten-year-old child.The children in the slums have struggled with hunger and death since they were young. Their biggest wish is to have a full meal. If they are lucky enough to eat delicious fat, it will be a day like heaven!

Poverty makes a child mature quickly. Howard is a clever child. He usually runs a long way to the edge of North Forest to sell some cheap items, such as seasonings that careless adventurers may forget to bring. He was reluctant to eat bird eggs and the like, but most of all he still did some errand work, earned a few pitiful copper coins, went back to buy rough black bread, and supported himself and his younger brother.

The reason why there is no sister is because a few days ago, his sister was spotted by a passing mercenary and forcibly snatched away. Howard tried his best to stop her and was almost beaten to death.This made him hateful and depressed. When he dreamed back at midnight, he always thought, why should I be hungry if I am a child in the slums, why can everyone come and kick us, but I don’t have the confidence to be sure that one day I will Can revenge come back? !

It's too difficult, he can't make money, he can't even eat enough, let alone learn magic and martial arts.That mercenary was said to be only a small character, but to him, even if he tried his best, he couldn't hurt him a single bit.

Tortures like Howard's have been experienced by almost all people in the slums. They would also angrily accuse the sky when they were young, and look forward to stepping out of this muddy place one day, but almost without exception, they will slowly Numbness, all these unnecessary resentments back then will be forgotten and repeated again and again.

Howard got up early this morning. He put on his only gray shirt and trousers that were patched, washed his face with cold water, and took out a piece of black bread the size of a palm from the crack of the rotten wooden cabinet. It was very dry and hard. , He lit firewood in an iron pot with a broken corner, boiled saliva, put it out in the only bowl, soaked the bread in it, and then dragged his five-year-old brother up, and the two drank it one by one.

Howard wiped his mouth, and told his younger brother to stay at home honestly, and he was about to go out to find work.

At this moment, he heard many people gathering not far away, footsteps, and buzzing conversations.Strange, the slums are usually like stagnant water, the only time when it is lively is in the evening, some cheap prostitutes are soliciting customers at the door, and vulgar low-level mercenaries will come here to have fun. This made his hearing very good, and he was sure that these people were definitely not those vulgar low-level mercenaries, they had a strong flavor of the main city people.

This is an opportunity, Howard thought, they might need people.Thinking about it this way, after he warned his brother to stay calm again, he tidied up his tattered clothes and searched for the source of the sound.

The group of people who came was exactly Joey's entire crew. There were about 200 people.

The house they rented had five main rooms and a small woodshed. Because it was only on the verge of a poor area, it was dilapidated, but at least there was no air leakage on all sides. The house was empty and there was no decent furniture.Under Joey's command, several pieces of cheap but clean and complete furniture were placed in the master bedroom and the side bedroom. The most conspicuous thing was a set of polished vanity mirrors. String of vintage gold and silver jewelry.The firewood room has not been moved, and it is still full of chopped firewood. There are gray spider webs all over the corners, and there is only a small place where one can set foot.
