Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Mr. Steven, what are your plans next?"

"Haha... The plan is, I'm just waiting for my box office share to arrive, and then I'll go to Marla Supermarket in Sacramento and place an order for the $100 million bottle of Daydream in their supermarket."

The scene was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Steven in disbelief.

Some people still don’t know what daydreaming is.

At this time, people around you immediately asked for information.

In fact, when Mara Supermarket launched the $100 million Daydream, it still caused quite a shock.

But the news went away just as quickly as it came.

It didn't cause much trouble.

Most people believe that this is a sensational publicity strategy by Mara Supermarket.

No one really believed in the so-called $100 million wine.

No one will actually buy it.

But now, Steven is the biggest director in Hollywood.

Even some legendary directors who have been deified now keep saying that they want to buy that $100 million bottle of wine.

This is absolutely bombing news.

"Mr. Steven, do you really believe that Mara Supermarket can sell wine worth 100 million US dollars?"

Most people are skeptical about this.

For most of the reporters at the scene, a million dollars or even a hundred thousand dollars of wine was unimaginable.

After all, their salary may never be tasted.

As for the $100 million wine, in their opinion, it is even more nonsense.

"Mr. Steven, I wonder how much box office share you can get from this box office?"

This is also what people are curious about. As a legendary director, how much box office share can he get?

"Actually, my box office share is not much, only 5%." Steven said with a smile.

He doesn't shy away from talking about his salary, as most directors do.

Even if he names any price, no one will think it is too high.

Also, in this movie, Steven's salary is not very high.

Even most movie companies would laugh out loud at a 5% box office share.

Because almost every first-line director is eligible to receive such a share of the box office.

Compared with Steven's performance and ability in the movies he shot, the 5% box office share is definitely worth it.

Steven's public explanation of his salary is actually putting pressure on PLM Films.

If you are wise, hurry up and get your box office share, and get some bonuses by the way.

Even though Steven and Rasfa are close friends, in terms of interests, Rasfa is an out-and-out capitalist and vampire.

In many cases, film companies will rely on their size and status to deliberately delay or even withhold remuneration.

Especially the bigger the company, the darker the methods.

For a director of Steven's level, the six major Hollywood film companies would not dare to deduct money at will.

If it were some small directors, they would delay as long as they can and deduct as much as they can.

And these young directors often dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

"But I have been coveting that bottle of Daydream for a long time." Steven said seriously: "Because I know the origin of that bottle of wine, but unfortunately I can't get it, so I just hope that I can save enough money, and then Buy that bottle of wine.”

Steven actually had no intention of buying the bottle of wine. He was reciprocating the favor and promoting Chen Zhao and Mara Supermarket.

After all, Chen Zhao helped him a lot this time, and of course he hoped to be able to help Chen Zhao.

Now that Steven is in hot demand, what he says often represents the truth.

All the reporters were a little stunned. Is that bottle of wine really worth 100 million US dollars?

Are there any secrets in this that they don't know about?

After the interview ended, all major media outlets rushed to report on it.

"100 Million Dollar Wine"

"A wine that even the best directors in the world can't drink"

"The Origin of Daydreaming"

"Mysterious Daydream"

For a time, Mara Supermarket was overcrowded, and everyone wanted to see what that bottle of wine worth 100 million US dollars looked like.

However, Daydream was placed in a glass dome, surrounded by a five-meter isolation zone, and four security guards stood at the four corners.

No one can approach this bottle of wine at will, and can only watch the bottle of wine sitting there from a distance.

Huinip herself couldn't believe that the great director Steven would actually give her a supermarket platform.

Moreover, when being interviewed by the media, he directly named his supermarket.

It seems that I have never paid Steven any fees for advertising endorsements, right?

The last time Daydream was released, it brought some news.

But most of the news was bought by Huinip with her own money.

So the real impact is very limited, and within two days, the popularity has dropped.

But this time it was different. Steven mentioned Mara Supermarket himself and also mentioned daydreaming.

At this moment, people all over the United States were in a panic.

Everyone wants to see the sky-high price of wine.

Steven's current influence is definitely not limited to the entertainment industry.

His influence has penetrated into every class.

Any word he says will have a huge impact.

This also brought a lot of traffic to Mara Supermarket.

Even if most of them are just for a glimpse of daydream.

But the most important thing for a supermarket is the flow of people.

This is a real benefit.

The turnover of supermarkets has even doubled several times.

Some people even fly thousands of miles from other places to Sacramento just to take a look at the sky-high prices of wine.

As a result, the brand value of Mara Supermarket has increased significantly, and it has even become a well-known attraction in Sacramento.

…

"Hello, Ms. Whinple."

"Hello Mr. Ottons."

Whinip didn't expect that Sacramento's mayor, Otons, would actually come to see him.

"Ms. Whinip, I have something to discuss with you."

"Please tell me."

"As you know, Sacramento has always been in a very awkward position. Although it is the capital of California, it has always been inferior to San Francisco and Los Angeles in terms of resources and geographical location. The tourism industry has never had opportunities to develop, so I want to work with You discuss it, about our tourism industry in Sacramento.”

"What does this have to do with me?" Whinip asked.

Although the other party is the mayor, Huinip is not afraid of the other party at all.

Her Mara Supermarket is a major taxpayer in Sacramento, and at the same time, the supermarket has solved the employment problem of thousands of people.

So even the mayor must be polite when facing her.

"I want to do an exhibition using the theme of your wine and daydreams in the supermarket as a travel theme."

"So what benefits do I get?"
