Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 127 Don't get carried away by momentary pleasure

The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are about to bloom, and people are coming and going around the bar.

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

The most effective way to elevate one's status is to boast.

Shen Daniu went to extreme lengths to elevate Xu Yi's status, shamelessly and recklessly exaggerating.

With his mouth dry and throat parched, Shen Daniu used all the tricks he had learned from his ancestral graves on how to fool the village widows.

The effect was immediate. Jeremy, an old Union Jack who had never watched "Country Love," now felt completely bewildered.

He's a little out of it.

Moreover, that damned Shen Danu went to great lengths, even bowing and scraping to that bastard Xu Yi in front of Jeremy.

In short, it's clear from their words that Shen Dani'er's achievements today are all thanks to President Xu Yi's support.

We have a good relationship with Mr. Xu, and ACFun supports us, which is why we have the popularity we have today.

Jeremy made the two of them act so convincingly.

Xu Yi said that half of her buttocks were numb.

Judging from Shen Danu'er's behavior, if he doesn't handle this pig-butchering scam well for Jeff today...

That bastard can't quite put his finger on how he's going to get revenge on me.

This grandson might ruin my marriage with Yanzi.

Shen Mo didn't care about Xu Yi's thoughts; his main priority now was to squeeze some money out of Warner, a big fish in the sea.

Shen Mo had been eyeing the special effects company owned by Nicholas Tse for a long time, but hadn't made a move yet.

It wasn't a sudden pang of conscience, it was just that I was fucking broke.

Shen Mo originally thought he had passed the initial stage of wealth accumulation, but since he started working on A-site, money has been flowing out like water.

The current A-site (AcFun) content is all obtained for free from Ula Grass, and there is also a lot of GG revenue.

This year, Xu Yi went even further and unscrupulously launched a paid membership model for film and television services.

This amount of money, coupled with ever-increasing server expenses, is simply a drop in the ocean.

Making streaming media is fucking expensive.

Desperate for money, Shen Mo has started researching how to create a "pig butchering scam," hoping to squeeze some money out of the wealthy Warner to help him make ends meet.

Moreover, even if Warner Bros. doesn't pay for it, ACFun will still go all out to promote "The Dark Knight," since Shen Mo is the lead actor.

Of course, everyone would be happy if they could make a bigger profit off Warner.

"So, you want five million for a package deal on 'The Dark Knight'?" Jeff pondered for a moment before voicing his doubts.

Xu Yi glanced at Shen Daniu'er's expression and, after receiving a definite affirmative signal, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Warner Bros. has also invested heavily in GG on these streaming media websites, and Jeremy is quite familiar with these sites.

At that time, we proposed to retrieve the actual data from the A site's backend.

If the data is good, then the money is negotiable.

If the data is bad, no matter what Xu Yi's status is, she has to get out.

"Then we'll have to look at your actual data."

Xu Yi opened her laptop in front of Jeremy.

The real data in the background is clearly visible.

Old Deng's eyes practically bulged out.

This is real data from the back office, not those inflated, misleading figures in financial reports.

The number of views is quite impressive.

Compared to other subpar streaming media websites, the sheer volume of data is terrifying.

A site is a small, independent entity; everyone, from top to bottom, has been cultivated by themselves little by little.

Unlike the other families, where blood is thicker than water and the disciples, senior and junior brothers, all have their own secrets.

Xu Yi and Shen Dani had no idea what other people's data was like, and they assumed that the data they published was accurate.

Jeff blinked and held out a hand to Xu Yi.

"Only five million? A bundled promotion?"

Xu Yi swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "It's not the small daily currency—"

"Didn't we agree on US dollars?" Jeremy asked, puzzled.

Shen Daniu slapped Xu Yi on the back of the head, the force of the slap so strong it straightened Xu Yi's tongue.

While the naive bastard was still in a daze, Shen Mo quickly pulled out a plastic bucket full of sweet juice.

Xu Yi went through a lot of trouble to bring this little bit of sweet water from China.

The entire journey was fraught with difficulties.

When I was going through customs, I was almost mistaken for something dangerous and nearly got detained.

"Old Jeremy, I'd like to toast you on behalf of General Manager Xu. It's been a pleasure working with you."

The literary and film works of a region directly reflect the subconscious of the people in that region.

There's a certain story behind how things are done in this place.

Shen Danu'er is considered a unique species in terms of biodiversity, but even he has no room to make a difference in this place.

Before Shen Daniu could even begin his veiled attacks, the cheering squad that had come from below started fighting first.

Squatting at the edge of the backstage area, Shen Mo watched with great interest.

Zhang Jiao's support group, all dressed in yellow turbans, shouted "Thunder God, help me!" and charged towards Huang Chao's support group.

It was a scene of selfie sticks and light sticks flying everywhere, and brains and vomit mixed together.

-

As for why fans of Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao appeared at the premiere of "The Dark Knight," Shen Daniu said that it was none of his business and he really didn't know.

Just do it.

Below, a group of soldiers dressed in military green uniforms and holding red flags had begun to deploy in front of Shen Mo to prevent those crazed bastards from harming their comrades.

Old Chen took a few photos, and then, unusually seriously, said to Shen Mo, "Don't do anything reckless."

Looking at Old Chen with surprise, Shen Mo said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't frame me, I didn't do anything."

"I saw you studying the map of that sanctuary yesterday."

"Old Chen, do you think it would work if I burned down that damn shrine?"

"Are you a tiger? You can only kill a few people by setting that latrine on fire now. When the time is right, our main force will catch up, and everyone who has worshipped will die."

You can't judge a book by its cover, especially a man like Lao Chen who has a story to tell.

Time shaved off his long hair, but it also increased his wisdom.

That bastard has such foresight that even Shen Daniu'er feels inferior.

Going to shut down that damn sanctuary now would only vent our anger; it wouldn't do any real good.

Old Deng meant to use this thing as bait, so that when they came ashore, they would all be dead.

I wasn't ruthless enough, and I didn't think things through thoroughly enough.

Shen Mo looked down carefully. The fighting was fierce, but there weren't many people with their heads cracked open.

Since I need to exercise self-control now, I'll just collect some interest from these people.

Shen Mo roared at the crowd, "No victory without bloodshed! Are kings and generals born with a special destiny?!"
