Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

On the online platform

Discussions about "And Then There Were None" continue, and are even more frequent than expected.

Since this film is still directed by Zhou You, who previously directed "Rebirth" and "The Fast and the Furious," both of which were well-received and commercially successful, "And Then There Were None," despite being the least favored suspense film, might just break through the competition and achieve very good results (at the box office).

Dessert: It's really possible. Director Zhou's abilities are undeniable, and we can't help but believe it.

"The Great Roc Spreads Its Wings: What if Director Zhou also crashes the boat?" This type of movie does exist, but without exception, they all crashed the boat, which shows that suspense movies are not popular with audiences.

You're right, but I won't listen: You can't be so absolute. What if Director Chow's skills can make a suspense film stand out? We can go to the cinema and see for ourselves. Besides, a movie ticket isn't expensive. Let's support traditional suspense films and Director Chow.

It's ridiculous: Director Zhou himself doesn't seem to care much about this kind of movie; he didn't even attend the press conference. All he does online is share it. With that kind of attitude, I don't think it's worth the ticket price.

Loves hot pot broth: This type of movie, how much does a movie ticket cost? You can make up for it by skipping a cup of milk tea.

……

There are plenty of arguments online, mostly from trolls using pseudonyms and whose origins are unknown.

Of course, Zhou You's involvement was definitely not involved. After all, no matter how much he disliked it, it was a film he had poured his heart and soul into making. Zhou You hoped that "And Then There Were None" would be a success, because that would only further prove his abilities and encourage others to invest in him.

After all, Zhou You's current new project is facing numerous setbacks and is progressing slowly.

Not only was there a risk of exceeding the time limit, but a lot of money had also been spent during this period. Although Zhou You could keep everyone in check on the crew, the investors and producers were not just figureheads. They would come to the crew from time to time to check on the situation and give Zhou You a warning.

Zhou You: ...

Zhou You could say he was living a very frustrating life. If it weren't for the fact that the money he received was real and his young wife's influence was still as strong as ever, he would have really considered breaking the contract. It was Jiang Hanzhou's lenient treatment that gave Zhou You a false sense of security, making him overestimate his own abilities and underestimate the capabilities of others.

"Who hired these people?" It was an obvious attempt to smear her, and it was impossible for Shen Yao not to notice.

In the past, when movies and TV series were released, there would always be inexplicable trending topics and negative keywords, which were not purchased by our side at all.

The situation is exactly the same as it was back then. Shen Yao rested her chin on her hand and thought to herself that these people who hire online trolls really don't use their brains.

Even the script is exactly the same as before, without any change. Tsk tsk tsk, even those online comedians can't fool them.

you do not say!

Netizens have always been rebellious; the more you tell them not to do something, the more they want to do it, and they are known for their stubbornness and refusal to listen to advice.

Unexpectedly, "And Then There Were None" broke 50 million yuan at the box office on its opening day without excessive marketing, leading to a significant increase in screenings on the second day and a growing buzz of online discussion.

The reason is simple: this movie is surprisingly good. At least the plot and logic are completely sound. It's not the kind of story that's just a bunch of supernatural tales. Moreover, the movie discusses human nature and suspense the most, which is enough to satisfy viewers who enjoy this kind of thing.

More and more people are starting to invite their friends to go to the cinema online.

Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou didn't rest either. Instead, they arranged for the main actors of "And Then There Were None" to interact with the audience through various interviews, variety shows, and even by personally visiting the venue, in an effort to make "And Then There Were None" achieve another box office success during its theatrical run.

Zhou You even gave an unprecedented interview because of the positive reviews of "And Then There Were None".

Although Zhou You mentioned that the content of "And Then There Were None" took up less space in the promotion of his new movie during the interview, as long as things don't really fall apart, Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou won't hold it against him too much for the sake of making money.

'But this Zhongdeng guy really doesn't know how to restrain himself; he says everything without any restraint.'

Is this really okay? No way. At least the viewers who watched the video aren't really stupid. Their movie isn't even out of theaters yet, and you're already praising one while criticizing another, trying to promote your own unfinished new movie.

Tut tut

Zhou You, Zhou You, have you been training in the new film crew for so long that you've turned into an idiot?

The system criticized Zhou You's unrealistic ideas, but Shen Yao saw through them perfectly.

Zhou You wasn't stupid; this guy was willing to risk everything to get something for himself. The main reason was that the unfinished new movie had made him regret his decision.

But the contract is still so thick, Zhou You can't really not abide by it. What to do? He can grab all the attention and buzz for himself, no matter what.

I didn't see Zhou You buying his own trending topics online, and they were mostly positive. Isn't this all to improve his reputation so he can use it to promote the movie when it's released in the future?

'Will this work?' the system wondered, thinking that by the time Zhou You's new movie was released, it would be too late.

"Why not? Besides, Zhou You is a director; as long as his films don't fail, he'll continue to profit."

The films they've made are all solid productions. Leaving aside their earlier ones, just take "And Then There Were None" for example; it's already grossed over a billion.

Based on its current theatrical run and the remaining time, this movie can still earn around one billion yuan. Keep in mind that the movie's investment was only tens of millions, with the majority going to the actors' salaries. After distributing the rest of the money, it's all pure profit.

system:……

The system had to agree with its host, but it still felt that Zhou You wouldn't gain much advantage; things could change, and who knew?

The suspense film "And Then There Were None" ultimately turned a small investment into a huge success, earning 2.2 billion yuan and making a triumphant exit from theaters.

This is 2.2 billion RMB! It's not some useless paper money!

It turns out that even suspense films, which are least favored by the market, can make so much money. It turns out that Zhou You's talents can still be explored. It turns out that making money is so easy for them!

Everyone stared at Zhou You, who was still busy on set, like hungry wolves, which made Zhou You sneeze several times.

I thought I had just caught a chill by accident, or that I had a cold because I wasn't feeling well.

In fact, this was worse than catching a cold, because Shen Yao could foresee how difficult Zhou You's life would be from now on, with all sorts of capitalists making their appearances, all with the aim of exploiting Zhou You to make money for themselves.

Zhou You is just a director, and his continuous filming is limited, but there is just too much capital to make money. What should he do in the end?

"Let's unite and make money together?" the system guessed.

'They only want to eat all the food themselves.' Making money together doesn't mean that you'll get less of the profits.

Shen Yao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, indicating that these people wouldn't be so generous. Zhou You was currently the object of contention among various capital forces.

What if we can't get it?

'If you can't get it, destroy it'

Shen Yao's words gave the system a jolt, and, well, they were quite frightening!

…………

Shen Yao was at the company processing the work sent by her assistant. Most of the projects were in cooperation with Hongshi Network, a small part was handled by the company alone, and an additional part were projects undertaken by other platforms and video companies.

The film has no stock left, and the new director previously selected by Jiang Hanzhou is a newcomer who has only graduated from university a few years ago.

Currently, they are still learning some skills and have been thrown into the film crew by Jiang Hanzhou to gain experience little by little. Therefore, the company's current focus is on variety shows and related film and television dramas.

"Aren't there any people coming to ask for investment?" Based on past experience, their company has never lacked people who like to beg for money.

"Not for now, but in a few days, TaoTao Video will be holding a business promotion conference. Mr. Shen, they have already sent you an invitation."

Whether or not to go is entirely up to Shen Yao herself.

Shen Yao rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment. Then she opened a file on the desktop with the words "Tao Tao Video" written on it. Sure enough, it contained an introduction to an investment promotion meeting. It was basically a project that had been accumulated and was seeking investment. Both parties would sit together and chat. If they liked each other, they would continue; if they didn't, they would part ways.

This investment promotion event is quite suitable for Shen Yao, who currently has nothing to do.

Jiang Hanzhou wasn't here. Shen Yao was handling the company's business while also managing several development projects. There hadn't been any breakthroughs in film yet, but considering that film projects were more profitable than TV series, she still wanted to go to the promotional events to look for any worthwhile investments.

"I'll reply and I'll come over then."

It's not just about giving face to TaoTao Video; the company also needs to develop. There's no reason why they wouldn't make money-making movies if Zhou You left.

There will definitely be many projects showcased at the promotional event; who knows, she might just discover some hidden gems.

With this in mind, Shen Yao attended the investment promotion conference hosted by TaoTao Video.

The venue was quite crowded, mostly with people involved in the entertainment industry. They knew they couldn't just keep their money to themselves; they needed to invest it to generate returns.

As soon as Shen Yao entered, she was greeted by everyone, who called her "President Shen" repeatedly, even though she was younger than their children. But what did it matter? In this industry, age doesn't matter.

Shen Yao shook hands with everyone along the way. Her goal here was very clear: to find a few projects that she found acceptable to invest in.

Some others were just doing it for fun, while others had ulterior motives. After all, promotional events involve both the stage and the backstage. Those celebrities and actors weren't necessarily looking for buyers for their works, but also for their own financial backers.

Just like the male actor in front of Shen Yao, who was almost pressed against the arms of a female tycoon, the two of them had an unspoken understanding. After all, investing in a work could result in losses, but investing in oneself was all benefits.

Shen Yao didn't look around, but instead plunged into a group of people seeking investment.

You have to understand that she's currently a major investor; the two movies have made her company incredibly wealthy. At this point, she can invest money however she wants. Who wouldn't want to meet an investor like her?

"Mr. Shen"

"Who are you"

"I am surnamed Wang. This is my film project, and it's currently only in post-production."

The director, surnamed Wang, looked quite old; she was a woman wearing black-rimmed glasses.

He exudes an intellectual aura; well, he must be someone who's rather simple, at least not someone who'll have an easy time in this circle.

Since everyone in the entertainment industry is cunning and manipulative, this woman with dark circles under her eyes is most likely a latecomer to the field. Even if her work is good, it will definitely have many minor problems and flaws.

With this in mind, Zhou Rongrong carefully read through the introduction the other party handed her.

As expected, the description was quite good, very heartwarming and comforting.

However, the content is somewhat rambling, and due to lack of funds or tight budgets, the filming process was quite bumpy. The actors in the film are not well-known, which not only does not contribute to the box office but may even drag it down.

Shen Yao raised her hand and tapped the chair. Instead of directly refusing the female director, she asked her to bring the film to the company so she could watch it and give her feedback.

"As you know, this isn't a simple investment; we also need to be responsible for the subsequent marketing and distribution." Movies are made to make money; it's impossible to knowingly do a business that will lose money.

At least Shen Yao doesn't have that kind of awareness, and I believe the female director in front of me isn't truly detached from worldly affairs either.

Director Wang is definitely not like that, otherwise she wouldn't have forced herself to endure this discomfort to attend TaoTao Video's investment promotion meeting.

To be honest, her film project has had a rather bumpy road. The lead actress herself was originally just a writer. Later, she wanted to make her own book into a film, and then she tried every means to attract investment. When there was no investment, she spent her own money and effort, and even mortgaged her own house.

Finally, after much difficulty, the movie was completed, but due to a lack of funds, post-production editing and promotion were impossible. This forced them to attend various promotional events to attract investors.

Director Wang is capable, but he's far inferior to directors with formal training. So investors are generally hesitant, and those who are interested have too high expectations, which has led to the awkward situation of things dragging on until today.

If Shen Yao doesn't agree, Director Wang doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, things started to look good. Director Wang met Shen Yao, who was not short of money. According to Shen Yao, as long as the film was above average, she would receive all the funding, including post-production and promotion.

After waving for Director Wang to go back, Shen Yao continued to wander around the venue.

There are so many people here!

Shen Yao also saw several blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, who were said to be very famous investors. They currently had some good projects to work on and were surrounded by a group of wealthy people. They were talking enthusiastically, and it was obvious that the cooperation was very likely to succeed.

'Host, aren't you going to go take a look?'

'Who knows if it's a human or a ghost?'

Shen Yao felt that the grass wasn't always greener on the other side, and besides, many people in China had already been scammed, so it was only natural that they would be scammed abroad.

Ha, she's not going to join in the fun.
