The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 469 Lin Shuwen Resigned to Fate
In the evening, Luo Ming and Luo Yi returned home.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw several paper bags on the sofa.

Lin Shuwen took Luo Fei shopping the day before yesterday. They started in Shanghai. In the evening, she suddenly had the urge to take Luo Fei on the company's private jet to Hong Kong City. They just came back today.

"Brother, these are the clothes my sister-in-law bought for you and Luo Yi." Luo Fei said while swiping his newly bought iPhone.

Luo Ming looked Luo Fei up and down. This girl looked completely different. Before, all the clothes Luo Fei wore cost no more than 500 yuan in total, and she didn't wear much makeup.

This time, she went out and not only did she get her hair done, but all the clothes she wore cost less than four figures.

Luo Ming didn't think it was extravagant. What was the purpose of making money? Wasn't it to give his family and loved ones a better life?

But Luo Ming was a little worried that Luo Fei would have some mental problems if he suddenly went from frugality to luxury?
Just like when one suddenly wins the lottery or has a house demolished and becomes rich overnight, some people will develop some wrong perceptions about themselves and money.

In his previous life, Luo Ming knew a colleague whose hometown was demolished. His family owned a small coal washing plant, and he ended up losing 9700 million yuan.

In the past, if this small coal washing plant performed well in a year, after deducting the wages of dozens of workers and miscellaneous management and expenses, the final net profit would be about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. If the performance was not good, it might even lose tens of thousands of yuan.

This time, he got 9700 million yuan from the demolition, and his whole family was delighted. He resigned and went home. A month later, he bought a Ferrari worth more than 370 million yuan and bought a villa in Qingdao.

Just like that, in just two years, 9700 million was gone.

Later, this guy went back to work. Luo Ming met him by chance and chatted with him. In his own words, he bought a car and a villa worth more than 2000 million yuan. He went out to bars all day, or flew to some tourist cities to eat, drink and have fun.

By the time he realized what was happening, half of the demolition compensation his father had given him had been spent.

When he asked his father for it again, his father refused to give it to him and kept calling him a spendthrift.

If he still lies at home, he won't be able to pay the property fees for the villa, so he has to go out to work.

Thinking of this, Luo Ming looked at Luo Fei again.

However, he did not say this directly to Luo Fei, but turned around and went to the bedroom to find Lin Shuwen.

Lin Shuwen was already numb. She had only been gone for two days. How come "The Return of the Great Sage" had already become the number one animated film in China?
What’s even more terrifying is that the box office of “The Return of the Great Sage” was 1.85 million yesterday, and as of today it has reached 1.21 million.

This adds up to a box office of 5.31 million. It's only 7 o'clock in the evening, and there are still 5 hours until the end of the day. Another increase of 1000 million should be about right.

Lin Shuwen is so confused, why would the higher-ups support "The Return of the Great Sage"?

Is it to promote Chinese animation?

At this rate, wouldn't it be quick to reach 10 billion?
She really wanted to make steamed buns with ham for Luo Ming!
"Click~" The sound of Luo Ming pushing the door open interrupted Lin Shuwen's thoughts.

Lin Shuwen looked at Luo Ming with a complicated expression.

Luo Ming did not notice Lin Shuwen's expression. He walked to the bed, sat down, and told Lin Shuwen about his concerns.

Lin Shuwen didn't expect Luo Ming to have such concerns. She waved her hand and said, "Ah Ming, you are just worrying too much. Let's not talk about whether Feifei will have a mental problem because of going from frugality to luxury. Even if she does, can't you afford to support her? Or do you think I would be so stingy as to not let you give money to your sister?"

"I didn't mean that."

"Then you just don't trust your sister. Amin, have you become extravagant with your money because of the rise of Shining Light Technology?"

Luo Ming shook his head subconsciously.

"Your sister and you have the same parents. You received similar education and grew up in a similar environment. You are not arrogant, so why do you think your sister will be arrogant?
You should have more trust in Feifei. As I said before, even if Feifei really becomes arrogant, we can still support her."

After hearing what Lin Shuwen said, Luo Ming felt that his worries seemed a little unnecessary.

"By the way, Ming, how much do you think the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" will be?" Lin Shuwen asked tentatively.

"At least 15 billion."

"15 billion!" Lin Shuwen jumped up from the bed: "How is this possible!"

"How is it impossible? According to the current growth trend, 15 billion is definitely achievable."

"Isn't it because of the company's hunger marketing now? After this momentum is over, the box office growth rate should slow down."

"Wait! Who told you that your company is using hunger marketing?" Luo Ming interrupted Lin Shuwen and asked.

“Is there no hunger marketing?”

"No, the screening rate was really low before, and I couldn't buy tickets."

Lin Shuwen felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard this. All those comments on the Internet about love were true!
When Lin Shuwen took Luo Fei shopping in Hong Kong, she also opened various social media platforms and took a look at the current comments on the Internet.

When she saw the trend online, she subconsciously thought that Luo Ming was using hunger marketing.

However, Luo Ming told her that it was not the case and that tickets were really hard to get. Lin Shuwen had already accepted her fate.

"Do you have any additional requests?" Lin Shuwen asked with a look of despair. "Additional requests?"

"I'm going to make you steamed buns with ham anyway. Why would you care about other things after doing this?"

Luo Ming's eyes lit up. He took out his mobile phone and searched on Taobao, then handed the phone to Lin Shuwen.

Lin Shuwen's face turned red instantly.

"Ahem, if you feel embarrassed, then..."

Lin Shuwen threw the phone back to Luo Ming and fled the bedroom in two steps.

Luo Ming laughed and didn't care. This kind of art was indeed a bit advanced for the more conservative Lin Shuwen.

Luo Ming lay down on the bed and read the comments about "The Return of the Great Sage" on the Internet.

When "The Return of the Great Sage" was released in the previous life, the crew was too poor and the publicity could not keep up, which led to many netizens who had watched "The Return of the Great Sage" starting to cheer for it spontaneously.

Many people who didn't know the truth thought that these were water armies hired at great expense, and there was a constant stream of doubts online.

Since these "water armies" came uninvited and without paying any money, they were given the interesting name "tap water".

The reason why tap water appears is that the producer is too poor.

Luo Ming had never thought of doing this from the beginning. There was no need to guide public opinion secretly. Zhuoguang Technology had plenty of money and publicity channels. The quality of "The Return of the Great Sage" was also very good. Why did they need to do this?

Lin Shuwen just felt that the company's hunger marketing and hiring internet trolls to promote "The Return of the Great Sage" was purely a "death struggle."

But then again, although there are not as many users as in the past, there are still quite a few people promoting "The Return of the Great Sage" on the Internet, and a large number of them are from the animation circle.

Ever since the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", the Chinese animation industry has been in an uproar.

It can be said that "The Return of the Great Sage" is improving the overall environment of the Chinese animation industry with its own strength and in an unparalleled manner. Many people are grateful to it!

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the better the data of "The Return of the Great Sage", the greater the benefit it will be to the Chinese animation industry and to animators like them.

This also made many animation people start to think: "So what can we do for "The Return of the Great Sage"?"

Some people haven't figured out the answer yet, but some have already figured it out.

Since the single-day box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" exceeded 100 million yuan yesterday, some people in the animation industry have already taken action.

Luo Ming flipped through the hot search terms on Weibo and saw a Weibo post that was liked by two official accounts, Zhuoguang Entertainment and Sunny Day Animation.

The owner of this Weibo is Wang Zhaohui, 35 years old, the leader of Su Qing’s previous company and a well-known animator in the Chinese animation industry.

Wang Zhaohui has been quite upset recently. After his previous company went bankrupt, Wang Zhaohui declined many invitations from companies. He decided to make an animation work himself. He had prepared the script for this animation a long time ago, but he had neither the money nor the courage to implement it.

The company's bankruptcy actually made Wang Zhaohui more determined.

Over the past year, Wang Zhaohui has been trying to attract investment for his new project, but has been repeatedly rejected.

Wang Zhaohui had known about Su Qing's involvement in "The Return of the Great Sage" for a long time. Every time he saw news related to "The Return of the Great Sage", he was extremely envious.

What Wang Zhaohui envied was naturally the fact that Su Qing had made a name for herself at Zhuoguang Technology, and the company had given her 1 million yuan to make an animated film.

That’s a full 1 million!

This number is really too big. Wang Zhaohui has fantasized countless times that if he were the one making this investment, he would definitely be able to make his animated film, and it would be a perfect one.

But every time he thought about it, Wang Zhaohui would sigh, because let alone 1 million, he couldn't even raise enough start-up capital for his own animated film.

"Oh." Wang Zhaohui sighed again, patted his face to cheer himself up, and then continued to call investors. His movie is also of the mythological type like "The Return of the Great Sage". With the example of "The Return of the Great Sage", he believed that there would be people who would recognize his talent.

Of course, attracting investment is one thing, and on the first day that the film added screenings, Wang Zhaohui took his wife and children to the cinema to watch "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

He has worked with Su Qing for two and a half years and also coached Su Qing for a period of time. He will definitely support Su Qing's animated film.

After the whole movie was over, Wang Zhaohui went to the bathroom in the mall and smoked a cigarette.

This work is so well done! Wang Zhaohui thought about it and wondered if he could achieve the same level of success if he were the director.

After returning home, Wang Zhaohui sat in the study in a daze.

Wang Zhaohui's wife initially thought that he felt the gap between his own films and those of others.

In fact, she was wrong. Although Wang Zhaohui's eyes seemed dull, his heart was extremely hot and his brain was working fast.

In his opinion, this movie is so good that it is certain to become a hit.
