With the current box office appeal of Daju Film Company and Suri, there is no need to rely on holding premiere ceremonies to attract public attention.

So when "Ex-Files 2" was released on Christmas Eve, Suri neither prepared a premiere ceremony for it nor invested too much money in publicity and promotion, and instead placed the publicity channel on the Internet.

After its release, the box office data was quite good.

Because it was released during the golden Christmas season, compared with "Ex-Files 1" which premiered in the summer vacation, all the data for the same period have skyrocketed. In just a few days, the North American box office has exceeded 3 million US dollars.

With its sharp lines and many funny moments, "Ex-Files 2" won very good reviews. The audience spontaneously commented and rated it on the platform, and the freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes reached 94%.

have to say.

Suri really brought to life the role of "Vincent" that was tailor-made for him. Many netizens commented that "Ex-Files 2" is like a modern version of "Roman Holiday" and that watching the love story between him and Daddario's characters was very memorable and inspiring.

The reason why I didn't take Jiang Jiaya to see this movie was, on the one hand, because it was easy to be distracted when watching one's own movie, and it would inevitably feel weird. On the other hand, I was worried that she would be jealous, which would ruin her mood for vacation in Thailand and easily bring trouble upon herself.

But Jiang Jiaya really wanted to watch this movie, so Suri had to take the risk and accompany her into the cinema.

Sitting in the last row wearing a mask, he told:
"The movie you starred in, The Wandering Earth, is tentatively scheduled to be released in August next year, but it may be delayed until Thanksgiving, depending on how fast the special effects are produced."

"Next year, the company will release a lot of movies, such as Mojin: The Last Dragon, Interstellar, Twilight, and Limitless. It's really not convenient to arrange the schedules, and they will conflict with each other."

"The interesting thing is that Big Orange Films has made billions of dollars for me. If I had known what kind of songs I would sing back then, I would have gone straight to Hollywood."

Jiang Jiaya sat in the dark and said in a low voice:

"On Thanksgiving Day, I was free so I watched "Vivian's Troubles" starring Olivia Kata. You are such a jerk for letting her make that kind of movie."

Suri admitted that the film had a bit of an artistic component.

Although there is nothing particularly revealing in the plot and a body double was used in many shots, the scene of Olivia being tied up, hung up and whipped with a tassel whip has gone viral and is being talked about by netizens.

Olivia has a baby face, but her every move has the magic to make people instantly angry.

As a result, the R-rated movie "Vivian's Troubles" has remained popular since its release, becoming another phenomenal box office dark horse, with North American box office exceeding 3 million US dollars.

He spread his hands and said calmly:

"It was just a movie. Olivia got the fame she wanted, received $350 million in salary, and found the shortcut that suited her best, becoming the dream lover pursued by countless young people."

“Although he is not famous for his own ability, an actor with unique features is always better than having no highlights at all.”

"Her next film, A-grade Honor Student, continues the sultry route of Vivian's Troubles. Her salary has increased to 600 million US dollars. I estimate that the box office will not be less than 4 million US dollars."

I looked down at myself and felt that I was being implied.

Jiang Jiaya gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Are you making fun of me when you said that there is nothing special about it?"

"Of course not. As a rare Chinese actress in Hollywood, you are already well-known. You just lack a little time. I will arrange a few roles for you. You may not lose to Olivia in terms of success. You can choose any script from the company. Her acting range is relatively narrow and her acting skills are so-so. She is only suitable for playing a vase."

After hearing what Su Rui said, Jiang Jiaya was not much happier.

She said in a melancholy tone: "I also want to be a vase, not a powerful actress." Rolling her eyes at Jiang Jiaya, Su Rui continued to answer:

"Be content. If you weren't lucky enough to have known me since childhood, you would probably still be working in a small clinic. There are so many people in Hollywood, and it's not easy to be a vase. At least you have to learn how to seduce people first. You have a different temperament."

Jiang Jiaya nodded and said:

"Yes, some of the most famous beauties in Hollywood are your secret lovers. You are of course very clear about their temperaments."

"."

really.

I shouldn't have brought her to see this movie.
There's not much to say about the content of the movie. Suri has watched it three or four times.

The scenery in Pattaya, Thailand is pretty good. What it is most famous for is not sightseeing tourism, but its colorful nightlife, so it is also called "Men's Paradise".

After watching the movie, Suri took Jiang Jiaya out shopping, ready to find a place to have a drink and have some midnight snack.

You can see some bars are filled with girls dressed very sexy standing in front of the doors, waving to passers-by to come in and spend money. There are also young girls intimately holding the arms of white old men, which easily makes Su Rui think of the special "rental wife culture".

It is said that when European and American men arrive in Thailand, the first three things they do are rent a house, a car and a wife. Those women often come from poor areas and are generally over 30 years old. They walk on the streets openly and people are accustomed to it.

As for young and beautiful girls, they can earn higher income by selling alcohol in bars, so they rarely do this job.

While I was busy buying snacks on the street, I saw a car parked in front of a bar. A security guard was escorting a girl in a red dress, who hurriedly got into the car.

Jiang Jiaya asked curiously: "Who is she? Is she a Thai star?"

The owner of the grilled squid restaurant could understand English and continued in a strange accent, "That's BoA. She used to be a man, but later won a beauty pageant. I'm also her fan."

"."

Su Rui said calmly:
"Some of the trends in the United States are just leftovers from Asia. Before they started labeling them everywhere, no one cared about them at all. At most, they just thought they were a little strange."

There are a lot of ladyboys in Pattaya.

Some are just men dressed up as women, some are directly stabbed, and there are even some whose upper body is changed but their lower body remains the same.

Su Rui just thought that there were all kinds of birds in the forest, and he was just watching the fun from the perspective of a tourist, and did not dare to have any curiosity about it.

It was not until I heard the sound of fireworks that I realized it had quietly passed midnight and the year "2013" was displayed on my phone screen.

When he was very young, Su Rui hoped that time would pass quickly. But after entering the familiar era, he felt as if he was in another world.

The journey did not stop in Pattaya, Thailand.

In the following month, Suri went to Dubai, Maldives and Australia successively. When he returned to Los Angeles, it was already mid-February 2013. (End of this chapter)
