Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Kenneth's whole body was shaking.

It wasn't because of excitement, it was simply because I was cold and tired, and I was shivering to keep warm.

The logo of the Sun was printed on the chest of the jacket, which didn’t look very warm.

It means that under the sunlight, all news has nowhere to hide.

This is an entertainment news newspaper that focuses on gossip about various celebrities and occasionally some serious content.

Kenneth is the reporter, editor, boss and handyman of this tabloid.

Well, their newspaper has a total of five employees, including a cleaning lady, who is his mother, and an intern.

There is no way, starting a business is so difficult.

Despite such simple conditions, their newspaper's weekly circulation still exceeded 10,000 copies.

He is very proud of this achievement.

But his dream is still far away. He wants to turn his newspaper from a weekly into a daily newspaper with a daily circulation of more than one million copies.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

He has not yet figured out the content for next week's newspaper, and all his hopes are placed on the Magic Shadow Festival.

There is indeed no shortage of content at the Magic Shadow Festival, but there is a lack of content specifically reported by him.

Just as I was struggling to figure out how to find some exclusive reports, my colleagues nearby swam to the cordon like a group of piranhas smelling blood.

It looks like another famous star has walked the red carpet.

Kenneth was not very interested in this kind of interview, as he could not write about it better than his senior colleagues.

He has a lot of experience in how to write about celebrity scandals.

Although he was not going to steal the spotlight from this person, he didn't mind listening.

The person who was seen walking on the red carpet from afar is a popular female star recently. She became famous for playing the leading role in a hit movie.

Her acting skills are average, but she has a superior appearance, outstanding temperament, and a perfect figure.

After working in the industry for several years, Kenneth has come to understand that acting skills are not the main indicator of an actor's fame.

She was facing numerous reporters, talking about the design of her dress.

A set of clothes made from recycled waste cardboard, which is cleaned, disinfected and turned into pulp.

A strange piece of clothing that has no elasticity at all and that prevents you from bending over when you put it on.

She expressed her beautiful vision of calling on people to protect the environment.

Because of the increasingly serious air pollution in big cities, environmental protection has become a hot word nowadays.

Every star has to say a few words in front of the camera so that fans will sigh that their idol is such a good person.

"whispering sound--"

Kenneth spat with disdain. It's not that celebrities can't talk about environmental protection. There are indeed good actors who set an example, such as Mr. Raul. As for the actor in front of him, he is definitely not qualified.

When she first became famous, Kenneth followed her for a while and found that extravagance was the norm in her lifestyle.

Now it’s time to stand in front of the camera and talk about environmental protection.

From this perspective, the acting is not that average.

At least his level of lying is not low.

The people who followed her onto the red carpet were from a film crew she had never heard of. The man walking in front looked vaguely familiar. He must have appeared in some magical film, but Kenneth couldn't remember it for a moment.

He initially suspected that this was not a serious crew, but perhaps some internet celebrities who came to take advantage of the popularity.

Even the dress he wore didn't fit him properly, most likely it was a cheap suit rented from somewhere.

The fit is an important factor in judging the grade of clothing.

What is meant here is not simply the right size, but whether every detail of the clothes fits the wearer's body characteristics.

Usually only custom-made clothing can achieve a perfect fit.

For example, the cardboard dress worn by the previous actress is obviously made of paper pulp, but it perfectly highlights her body curves.

There are literally two brushes.

It has gimmicks, ideas, and aesthetics.

She deserves to be famous.

As for the crew in front of us, well, they may not even be internet celebrities. If internet celebrities come to walk the red carpet, they have to keep their image in good condition.

There is no such thing as oversize here.

Maybe they are just a poor crew with no money, hoping that some investors will take notice of their work at this Magic Film Festival and distribute it.

Most likely, there was nothing good to report about this kind of crew, but Kenneth went over there anyway, taking the recorder with him.

Small people are more likely to speak without restraint and say some very "explosive" words, which are not serious content and can be used as gimmicks.

However, someone was quicker than him and got the first interview opportunity.

Competition in the media industry is that direct.

Journalists have to be fast.

"Mr. Laven, are you bringing any new works with you to this Magic Shadow Festival?"

Mr. Lavin?

Hearing the question from his colleagues, Kenneth felt that the name was a little familiar.

Who is coming?

"Yes, I brought a new film, Old Clothes, about the city of Augustan."

"Did you get any help from Mr. Drogo in making this film?"

"Yes, Mr. Drogo provided valuable suggestions for my script, for which I am very grateful, but this work was mainly completed by me and my fellow Augustans."

Listening to their questions and answers, Kenneth remembered the Augustine actor in The Silence of the Lambs.

He only acted in one movie, and then he took on various advertisements intensively, and then suddenly disappeared one day.

Considered a good actor.

"So did the friends you met on the set of The Silence of the Lambs come to guest star in your new film?"

The reporter who was interviewing the reporter obviously didn't care about Lavine's new film and kept bringing the topic back to The Silence of the Lambs.

In the reporter's opinion, Starling, Raul, and Drogo are the darlings of traffic, the top of the top, and it is a profit to get any new information about them.

As for LaVine, it doesn't matter.

Raven looked embarrassed, and tried hard to bring the topic back to his magic shadow.

But when it comes to talking, how can actors beat reporters?

Kenneth saw this and couldn't help but curse in his heart, how rude.

It's clear that LaVine is not considered a human being.

The media, or entertainment media, is such an industry that it is nothing without traffic.

Utilitarianism is ingrained in our bones.

Kenneth felt a little sympathetic towards Laven, who tried so hard to introduce her work, but no one cared.

In addition to sympathy, there is also some anger.

They are also a tabloid that no one cares about.

A roadside newspaper office and a roadside drama crew are just the right match.

Kenneth decided to promote Lavin's work.

Although the Nikko Daily has only more than 10,000 readers, it is better than having no readers at all.

The reporter in front left, and LaVine was dejected.

At this moment, Kenneth straightened his clothes, cheered himself up and walked forward.

"Hello, I'm Kenneth, a reporter from the Sunlight News. I'm very interested in your new magic film. Can you tell us more about it? Does this magic film express some of your expectations for your hometown?"

Hearing Kenneth's question, Raven looked up in surprise, "Yes, of course."

Since there were no reporters from other media to join in the fun, the following time was completely exclusive to Kenneth.

The interview continued until the staff came to urge LaVine to enter quickly.

He left reluctantly.

"call!"

Kenneth exhaled, LaVine probably didn't have much experience facing interviews and was very honest.

In the brief interview, I almost finished explaining the plot of the entire film. Before leaving, I gave him a preview ticket and invited him to watch it tomorrow.

Honestly, it's a pretty good story.

Some directors, in pursuit of uniqueness, art, etc., fail to tell the most basic story well, and end up filming something that the audience cannot understand at all.

Laverne at least has a decent plot.

Kenneth decided to go and see it. If it was really a good movie, he didn't have high hopes, but what if?

The exclusive content of the Nikko newspaper is now available.

The next day.

Kenneth climbed out of his hotel bed.

Today's schedule is to go to see the preview of Lavan first, and then go to see the new giant screen theater launched by the Drogo Group. It is said that it has a larger screen, higher resolution, and a more extreme viewing experience.

In the afternoon, there was a magic theater. It was said that the seats in the theater could be moved according to the movie, and there would be a multi-sensory experience of touch and taste.

Continue watching previews of other new films in the evening.

A day full of work.

Watching The Magic Shadow may be a pleasure, but if you watch it for a whole day, there will be no enjoyment at all.

After a cup of espresso, Kenneth headed to the Magic Shadow Festival venue.

I'm not very energetic. I stayed up late last night to organize the interview with LaVine and looked up a lot of information about him.

I learned about Raven's time in the refugee camp and prepared questions to ask if I had the opportunity to interview her again.

It’s a pity that stories about celebrities doing charity are not that popular.

Kenneth was confused when he arrived at the preview room despite feeling sleepy.

Why are there so many people?

There was a long queue outside the theater, many of whom were his colleagues in the media.

Kenneth rubbed his eyes and looked closely at the poster on the wall.

That’s right, it’s Raven’s Shadow.

What's going on? Is the niche work I've been eyeing going to become a hot commodity?
He immediately stopped a colleague he was familiar with and asked, "Why are so many people watching this film?"

"You didn't know yet? Drogo is coming to see it, too. I'm going to get a ticket."

Drogo is coming to see?
That means Drogo Productions might invest in this film.

This also means that this magic movie may be extraordinary.

They didn't know that this was originally invested by Drogo.

Kenneth couldn't help but quicken his pace.

He smelled it, smelled opportunity.

Amid the surprised gazes of his colleagues, Kenneth walked past the long line and went straight into the theater.

The audience was very focused throughout the 90-minute screening.

At the beginning, the plot showed that the twin brothers had only one good set of clothes and could only change them every day to go to school. Because some information did not match up, various jokes occurred and the audience burst into laughter.

They thought it was just a comedy with a slightly novel premise.

Good jokes, fun to watch.

Nothing more special though.

Then as the plot unfolds bit by bit, the elder brother goes to the wealthy area to work as a lawn mower in order to earn a living.

The child from the rich family was about the same age as him, but he had never seen the sufferings of the world.

I thought that the lawn mowing job that this peer was doing was some kind of game, so I started mowing the lawn together and had a lot of fun. The two of us even became friends.

It was clearly a happy misunderstanding plot, but the audience stopped laughing.

Children don't see classes, but the class gap between them is already destined.

They can't be friends.

This is a sad story.

It's also a story that I don't know how to resolve.

The film reaches its final climax, the quiz contest.

My brother made it all the way to the final round, with only five contestants left on the field.

A rich kid had previously mocked his younger brother, saying that a rat from the slums like him was not worthy of standing on such a noble stage.

And now, they enter the final round at the same time.

The younger brother didn't care about the other party's ridicule. All he wanted was the reward for third place, a membership card provided by the largest local store with a recharged amount of money, enough for him and his brothers to buy enough new clothes so that they no longer had to change clothes to go to school.

The final round is a single-question elimination system, with one contestant eliminated each time they answer a question.

After two questions, there are only three people left.

According to his brother’s plan, he should lose this round and take the coveted third place prize.

But he didn't know the answer to the question given by the host.

If you don't know how to control the score naturally, what should you do if you guess right?

In response to this, the younger brother chose to provide off-field assistance to rescue his brother.

Either lose and claim the prize you want, or win over that annoying rich kid.

The audience present didn’t know how to choose the right one.

The older brother, who had been watching the show, chose to let his younger brother advance to the next round and gave the correct answer.

Finally, at the end of the film, the younger brother won first place and cried bitterly on the podium while holding the championship prize, a well-configured Drogo host.

It's a weird scene that's both tear-jerking and hilarious.

He didn't know that he could buy more new clothes by selling this console.

He just felt that he and his brother could not go to school together, and surrounded by fireworks and streamers, he cried uncontrollably.

The child's innocence forms a huge contrast with the sad tone of the whole story.

The last scene of the film is frozen on the brother’s tearful face.

The whole film is over.

The theater fell into silence.

No audience expected that "The Shadow", which seemed to be a light-hearted comedy, would end up with such a somewhat absurd ending.

Including Kenneth.

It turns out that Laven's final ending, which was not spoiled, was arranged like this.

Also, it’s really interesting.

After nearly a minute of silence, the first applause rang out from the audience, and then the applause quickly flooded the theater.

This is a good film, which won the recognition of the tricky media present.

The applause continued until the end of the credits.

As a film, the cast and crew list is surprisingly short, probably only one-tenth of those of big-budget films.

And many names appeared several times, especially LaVine.

Actors, directors, screenwriters, makeup artists and even stagehands, he is everywhere.

What a poor crew.

The lights came on, and Lavin came to the stage on behalf of the crew and bowed.

Kenneth knew exactly what was going to happen at this point, but he was still slow to start.

Colleagues in the hall rushed to Raven like crazy, all repeating the same sentence.

"Hello, can you accept our interview?"

Kenneth was blocked from the crowd.

Damn, it’s still too slow. The exclusive content is about to become public content.

In a moment of extreme anxiety, LaVine waved his hands at the crowd and said, "I won't accept the interview for now..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly saw Kenneth on the outskirts of the crowd.

"Oh, Mr. Kenneth, I would be happy to be interviewed by you again." (End of this chapter)
