Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Steven? Which Steven?"

"The biggest guy in Hollywood." Chen Zhao said.

"Mr. Chen, can you really let our beer brand be embedded in Mr. Steven's new movie?"

"no problem."

Denver really didn't expect that Chen Zhao had such a wide network of contacts.

He had heard that a five-second advertising scene in Steven's movie would cost at least tens of millions of dollars.

And if you want to implant it, it depends on the size of the brand.

Not everyone can get implants if they want to spend money.

Which manufacturer can be implanted into Steven's new movie, which one is not a first-line brand.

In fact, according to normal business principles, even if Chen Zhao, as an investor in the film, wants to place advertisements in the film, he still needs to pay remuneration.

However, this movie is completely a play for Chen Zhao, Steven and Rasfa.

Whether this movie makes money or loses money is up to them to close the door and decide for themselves.

Chen Zhao provided the cheating props, Steven was responsible for shooting and editing the film, and Russ was responsible for distributing the film.

The film has not yet been scheduled for release, but it is already on PLM's film distribution list.

Since the film's producers and producers do not belong to the Big Six, PLM's box office commission is still quite high, as high as 15%.

Even with the guarantee of Steven's name, PLM still requires a high commission.

There is nothing we can do about this. Hollywood has always been controlled by the Big Six.

Even though Rasfa is the chairman of PLM, he does not have the power to independently decide how much to take from the distribution of movies.

However, with PLM's strong relationship network, when the movie is released in North America, it can get at least 4,500 screens in the first three days. The current box office share with theaters is still under negotiation.

There is no need for Chen Zhao or Steven to negotiate these, PLM will naturally help them negotiate it.

After all, as the issuer, PLM needs to do these things.

The investment in this movie is almost 60 million US dollars, but with publicity and distribution expenses, the investment cost is about 100 million US dollars.

If we only look at the box office in North America, it would be more than US$220 million to achieve box office profits.

Don't look at the current box office of movies that are hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact, when it comes to original movies, the box office in North America rarely exceeds 200 million US dollars, and even 100 million US dollars is very rare.

Even Steven can't guarantee how much box office the movie will achieve.

Even though Steven's previous film "The Wild One" did shock Hollywood, no one can guarantee that Steven can create a second miracle.

Of course, Hollywood movies have never relied solely on box office to make profits.

If they relied solely on box office profits, 95% of Hollywood movies would lose money.

If it is a superhero movie, most of it still relies on peripherals, such as figures and props.

However, Steven’s new movie does not come with peripherals.

Therefore, the only profit points outside the box office are the sale of various copyrights, related books, adaptation rights, and DVD sales.

Denver did not send the business invoice to Chen Zhao, but came to Chen Zhao's home in person.

When he saw Steven chasing little Gelin, his eyes almost popped out.

"Hello, Mr. Steven."

"Hello, who are you?" Steven looked at little Gelin who had run away, and stopped unwillingly.

"I am Denver, Mr. Chen's partner." Denver does not consider himself to be Chen Zhao's employee or subordinate.

"Hello."

"I heard from Mr. Chen that you can help embed our beer brand in the movie, is that right?"

"Well, Chen Zhao and I have a very good relationship. There is no need to discuss this little matter. Just give me the trademark." Steven looked at Chen Zhao in the front yard.

"Come here and do me a favor." Steven suddenly lowered his voice.

Denver was stunned for a moment and followed Steven.

When Steven arrived in the kitchen, he opened Chen Zhao's refrigerator and said, "Help me carry this piece of meat to my car."

"Huh?" Denver looked confused.

Why do you feel like Steven is stealing?

Okay, let's listen to Steven now.

But this piece of meat is really heavy.

After the two of them carried the meat to the car, Steven went in again and moved a few ingredients.

"Tell Chen that I will leave beforehand and won't eat here." Steven was indeed a thief.

Steven was driving the car and was about to leave, but Chen Zhao had already noticed it.

"Asshole, you stole something from my refrigerator again."

Steven drove away without looking back, with Chen Zhao chasing after him.

"Asshole, give me the things back..."

Steven stuck out a middle finger from the car window.

Chen Zhao chased for several hundred meters, and in the end could only watch Steven's car move away bitterly.

Denver was dumbfounded, but it could be seen that Chen Zhao and Steven had a very good relationship.

But seeing Chen Zhao back, Denver was also embarrassed.

After all, he was also an accomplice who stole things for Steven.

"Mr. Chen, I have something to leave beforehand." Denver left awkwardly.

But he really didn't understand. As Steven, did he still need to steal things from Chen Zhao's refrigerator?

In his opinion, this was just a joke among his friends.

Denver is increasingly convinced that Dashan beer can succeed.

He also needs to produce part of the product as soon as possible.

If there is no product on the market by the time Steven's new movie is released, it will be a huge loss for them.

After Steven got the gold coins, he couldn't wait to get into work.

He feels that he has many, many ideas and concepts in his mind, and he wants to realize them all in the movie.

To put it simply, it is a spring of ideas.

…

Chen Zhao continued to practice the Thousand Swordsmanship.

In the battle with Kunka, Chen Zhao used Yu Qianjian for the first time.

Although it is not yet mature enough, it has already begun to show its power.

Kunkka's clone did nothing in front of Yu Qianjian.

However, Chen Zhao also felt the shortcomings of Yu Qianjian.

Enemies clustered together are indeed effective.

But if the enemies don't get together, Yu Qianjian will be very powerless.

For example, if the enemy attacks from four directions at the same time, Yu Qianjian will branch out into two waves of swords at most.

As for being able to truly send and receive freely and do whatever you want, it is still very far away.

"Chen Zhao, pay attention to your breathing." Old Turtle sat on the stone and watched Chen Zhao practice the Thousand Swordsmanship.

"Breathing? What does breathing have to do with Yu Qianjian?"

"Of course it does matter. Every control movement should be consistent with your own breathing. The rhythm of your skill is very important. Keep the rhythm."

Chen Zhao tried several times but couldn't find the rhythm.

Keep trying, still fail, fail, fail...

Why is the rhythm so difficult to grasp?

"Take a break first and practice again when you feel calmer."
