Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

The news that Universal Studios was offering $2,000 for a single copy spread in Hollywood, sparking widespread discussion and ridicule.

"Universal did a good deed for that backward country, allowing them to experience high-quality animation from civilized society."

"How could there be animated films in that place? They probably haven't even had enough to eat yet!"

"I can't imagine what the board members of Universal are thinking; they must be angels."

"Across the ocean, movie tickets cost only $0.25. Don't be surprised; that's just five cents in US dollars. There's never any inflation there."

Zhang San had no idea that his actions had elicited such a strong reaction on the other side. If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have let anyone know.

"Robert, you mean someone leaked this information?"

Zhang San was somewhat surprised. This was normal business, so why was it like this? Sure enough, some people in North America are not good people at heart.

"Let's find a suitable time to reveal the production company's identity to them. These people, really... isn't this discrimination?"

His boss was a new immigrant from the country across the ocean, so naturally he sided with his boss, since he was paid by his boss.

Moreover, he also knew that this movie was produced by the other side and was excellent, so there must be someone maliciously causing trouble behind the scenes.

Before Robert could reply, Zhang San continued, "Investigate who leaked it, and fire them! Because they leaked the company's trade secrets."

However, the film's box office did not decrease as a result; on the contrary, it increased significantly because of the controversy. As a result, people paid attention to the film. Although these moviegoers had various motives, they also wanted to see what was so good about this film that was so popular.

A movie released in North America usually has a long run, with the longest being "The Big Ship," which was shown in North America for nearly ten months.

In July, Terminator 2 was released, and after its release, it truly ended the long-standing number one position held by "Kimba the White Lion Leo".

However, on that very day, a news report was released that left many who saw it in disbelief. Along with the report, the film's North American box office figures were also announced.

$1.98 million, and it will soon break $200 million!

The production company for this film was a film studio called Shanghai Animation Film Studio, located on the other side of the ocean in mainland China. The other company, called No. 3 Film Company, provided the script and produced the film. It took them several months to produce an excellent film.

As soon as the two pieces of news were exposed, some people did not believe them.

"This is impossible! How could they make an animated film like this in that desert?"

That was their first impression, and then I thought, I have to see, I must find the flaws in this movie.

"Global Times is definitely trying to attract attention. What are they trying to do?"

There will always be some people who want to take shortcuts.

"They must have reached a deal with the other side; this is a conspiracy."

Then the box office actually went up... It had dropped to more than 300 million a day, but now it has risen to 500 million a day, which is quite strange.

Reporters then interviewed them to find out what was going on.

"The animation is well made. I was just curious about what kind of animation that country could produce. It looks great. I didn't expect that they could produce animation like this."

"That mysterious country has created another miracle. I never expected their paintings to be so good; they are art."

The reporter asked, "May I ask what your profession is?"

"I am a painter."

"Cut this part out."

"WTF..."

Ignoring the painter's angry expression, the reporter went on to interview the next fan, a little boy holding a large lion.

"Hello, do you like this lion?"

"Leo!? I like Leo."

The reporter, somewhat exasperated, took the photographer to find the next major victim...

"WTF, this job is impossible. I just wanted to find someone who didn't like the movie, but how could they possibly like an animated film from that place?"

The photographer who had been following her all the way reminded her, "You should watch that movie, it's pretty good, my child really likes it."

"But someone paid for it!"

"Let's keep looking. There will always be people who don't like this kind of animation," the photographer reminded her.

For them, reporting is just a business. They'll smear whoever pays them. As for the reason? Someone paid them. Simple and brutal.

"Hi, have you seen that movie? What were your thoughts?"

The female reporter saw a burly man with a full beard and felt she had finally found a suitable partner.

The burly man with a full beard whistled and said, "You mean that movie? I thought it was too gory, all explosions, boom boom boom, tap tap tap..."

He made a shooting gesture while describing the explosion, and then said, "These kinds of explosive movies made by Hollywood are really great."

"WTF, damn it, go find the next one."

The female reporter was extremely frustrated. She never expected that this movie was really that good.

"Screw it! I'm going to see what kind of movie it is that everyone's defending it."

With this idea in mind, she donated a movie ticket.

Ninety minutes later, she came out and said, "We probably won't make that money. That's really good."

"I told you, it's really good. Let's just forget about it and let the higher-ups figure it out themselves."

The female reporter thought for a moment and said, "If I can't deliver on my promise, then I won't. I'll just go back. I might as well quit."

With this realization, she went back to the TV station to report; back at the station, she showed the manager the day's interviews.

"I'm sorry, but I feel like I won't be able to earn that money."

The manager also said, "Indeed, we won't make that money, but we can make another kind of money."

The manager immediately called Universal, explained the situation, and then said, "...we can do a reverse interview..."

"Of course, that's great news..."

After hanging up the phone, the manager wore a relieved expression.

"Have someone from the sales department go to Universal and sign a GG contract." He picked up the phone and continued making calls, this time targeting Universal.

After hanging up the phone again, he said to the female reporter, "You did a good job; we made money on the other side."

"Oh my god, I never expected this!" the female reporter exclaimed excitedly, clearly overjoyed at escaping a disaster and full of admiration for her manager.

The manager thought to himself, "You figured it out? Then you're the manager now. What a fierce but brainless guy."
