American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Let's go, together~" Mike turned to look at the numerous media reporters at the main entrance of the King's Building, as well as various celebrities who came to ride the wave of his fame, and casually called over MJ, the superstar singer.

During the subsequent photo session, Mike, who was keen to continue generating buzz, took photos with Kate and the three girls from the "Devil Body Group," and then took some time to take photos with several beauties from Hollywood and Broadway.

After a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a building, Mike found himself with a large stack of business cards and small notes in his pocket.

Among them were director Cameron and MJ's friends, as well as canaries looking to take advantage of the situation.

Next came a grand welcome party, where celebrities and media representatives had the opportunity to visit Michael's King's Tower.

The opulent style, the colorful ceiling, and the exquisite decorations all highlight the luxury of this private building.

After a grand moving ceremony, Mike's life returned to a more relaxed pace.

However, in the period that followed, news of Hollywood and Broadway beauties visiting the King's Building from time to time gradually boosted Mike's fame to a new level.

Therefore, Mike's status as a playboy has officially become a consensus among the media and the public.

Thus, amidst the win-win situation of the public watching the drama unfold online and Mike collecting faith points, two months later, at the end of June, director Cameron's new film Titanic was released simultaneously in multiple theaters.

On this day, several media representatives and special guests gathered at the art-house cinema. After a brief speech by director Cameron, the screening of the new film began.

Before long, Titanic's engaging narrative and exquisite visuals captivated audiences.

"Your figure in the movie doesn't seem as good as it is in real life," Regina couldn't help but whisper gossip when the movie scene showed Jack drawing Rose.

Yes, Mike, as a film investor, also attended the premiere for the media.

Kate, who plays the female lead in the movie, sat next to Mike.

On the other side sat three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group who had performed the movie's theme song.

Kate overheard Regina's words. The girl glanced at Mike first, then whispered, "That was a stunt double and computer-generated imagery. I never intended to sacrifice myself for cinematic art..."

Moreover, given Kate and Mike's relationship, director Cameron didn't dare to mess things up during filming.

The other crew members also dared not provoke Kate, who was a "connected person".

As for Kate herself, she is actually quite aware of her role as a canary.

She knew what she wanted. Whether or not she made movies didn't matter; her priority was to secure Mike as her sugar daddy.

After all, how much money do you make from making a movie? Can it compare to the money from a big spender?

……

Chapter 513 A Man's Heart

In the dim light of the movie theater, Regina watched Kate earnestly explaining with great interest, while also noticing Mike's calm expression out of the corner of her eye.

As the girl who spent the most time with Mike, Regina was very good at judging Mike's mood from his micro-expressions.

For example, right now, according to Regina's observation, Mike seems to be in a good mood.

"I understand~"

Regina, whose gaze had darted back and forth between Mike and Kate, suddenly exclaimed, as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret.

However, the girl quickly realized that she was in a movie theater, so she quickly covered her mouth.

The minor movie-watching incident has thus come to an end.

Once everyone around had looked away, Karen, the most clueless member of the group with the amazing figures, cautiously poked Regina's waist and asked in a dazed tone, "What happened to you just now? What did you realize?"

Karen's mind is very simple and focused; she might not be able to sleep tonight if she doesn't figure out the questions in her head.

“I’ve discovered Mike’s secret, or rather, a common problem among men. But this isn’t the right time to talk about it…” Regina lowered her voice, signaling her friend to calm down: “I’ll share it with you when we have time.”

And so, as Karen, with her big waves, scratched her head in frustration, the new Titanic movie reached its finale.

As the movie ended, enthusiastic applause erupted in the art-house cinema.

Clearly, Cameron's big-budget new film has achieved the expected success.

"Now, I am honored to invite Mr. Mike, the sole investor of this film, to come up and have a few words with us." As the screen played clips of the film's ending, director Cameron stepped to the front of the stage again.

Now that the new movie is already a success, director Cameron naturally wouldn't mind giving Mike, the investor, another boost.

At this moment, there were many media friends present at the art cinema, and with the success of the new Titanic movie, whatever Mike said afterward would definitely be in the newspapers tomorrow.

Mike is definitely going to capitalize on this wave of popularity.

He straightened his clothes, walked stylishly to the stage, took the microphone, and first gave a perfunctory description of his passion for the film industry. Then he shared some interesting anecdotes and twists and turns about investing in Titanic.

After raking in the traffic, Mike returned the favor by praising Cameron's directing skills.

Following the success of the new Titanic movie, after Mike finished speaking, he was warmly surrounded by the film crew and other people related to the film industry.

The message conveyed was clear: the hope of having the opportunity to collaborate on new projects with King's Agency in the future.

Meanwhile, Karen, with her big waves, watched the lively scene in the movie theater and, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, quietly pulled Regina to a corner. Accompanying her was Gretchen, the well-behaved girl from the "Devilish Figures" group.

"What are you doing?" Regina, who had been pulled into a corner for no reason, looked puzzled.

"Let's stick to the same topic. What did you find out? Is it related to Mike? Tell me quickly~" Because of these questions, Karen even found the premiere of her new movie uninteresting.

It seems that her "single-core" brain does not allow her to process multiple messages at the same time.

"So that's what it was about~" Regina suddenly realized, revealing, "Then it was discovered that it was indeed related to Mike..."

Then, the Queen Bee smugly teased, "Haven't you noticed how we're different from the women Mike has with other women?"

"Different?" Karen, with her wavy hair, bounced her wicked chest and pouted, "Does this count?"

"Idiot, I wasn't referring to her figure~" Regina, who only has a pair of long legs, strongly condemned Karen's behavior.

"What is it? Is it that we're prettier, or that the three of us can outnumber each other?" Karen continued to rack her brains.

Regina, having given up hope of the man's answer again, said directly, "It's about purity. We only have Mike as our true love. As for the other women, who knows what they've done in private?"

"Haven't you noticed? Men are very possessive in this regard. They're usually unwilling to put in much effort with women who aren't virgins..."

It must be said that although the queen bee is not very intelligent, she has a very good eye for men.

Mike, being a relatively traditional man, is indeed quite picky when it comes to relationships.

He can have a taste of the women outside, but taking things further is obviously impossible.

Not only are there women with ulterior motives outside, but even that beautiful campus belle from Columbia University, for some reason, won't be contacted by Mike unless she takes the initiative to do so.

With such back and forth, it was inevitable that their relationship would become distant.

"So, what is 'purity,' and how do we achieve it?" Unsurprisingly, Karen's brain couldn't process anything too complicated.

Interrupted by her like that, Regina was completely speechless. The Queen Bee never expected her little sister to be so stupid.

So she turned to the obedient girl, Ge Leiqin, and said, "You explain it to her. I don't want to talk to her right now."

“No problem, leave it to me.” The obedient Greta was the brains of the group with the devilish figures. She smiled at the big-haired girl with the silly luck and explained, “Regina means that we should only fawn over Mike. And also, we shouldn’t contact any men outside with ulterior motives.”

In summary: You have to treat yourself as Mike's personal product.

"Can we still perform on stage later?" Karen usually seems carefree, but she occasionally has flashes of inspiration when it matters.

The "Devil Body Group"—you can tell their style just from their name.

Clearly, this does not meet the needs of girls at this stage.

"It's okay. With our current fame and the quality of our next album, we probably won't need to rely on youthful enthusiasm to attract listeners anymore," Ge Leiqin offered a reliable analysis of the group's situation.

……

Just as the girls were exchanging tips on how to get close to Mike, Mike's business engagement with director Cameron had already ended.

Thus, the premiere of the new film was a complete success.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Mike asked in surprise as he walked out of the art cinema, watching the three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group push Kate aside and then press themselves against him.

They weren't this clingy before.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, hehe..." Kate chuckled as she massaged Mike's arm with a large object.

It was obvious to everyone that she had ulterior motives.

"Is it about the new album release? Don't worry, once the movie premiere results are in, I'll arrange for your collaborative album to be released." Mike, having misunderstood something, made a promise to the girls.

Although it was completely irrelevant, it still made the three girls in the "Devilish Figures" group very happy.

The next day, with the new Titanic movie premiering to rave reviews, Titanic, director Cameron, investor Mike, and others became the main focus of newspapers and radio stations.

Whether it's following the trend or riding the wave, it all comes down to the overwhelming spread of the news.

Going to the cinema to watch Titanic has become the latest trend among young people.

As one of the beneficiaries, Mike has not only profited from the box office but also accumulated a huge amount of faith points.

……

Chapter 514 Big Sale

"Boss, the opening weekend box office results for Titanic are in." In the luxurious King's Mansion, Jesse, the agency manager, reported to his boss, Mike: "According to reports from theaters around the world, Titanic has grossed over 620 million US dollars to date. There may be some omissions, but the total results are roughly like this."

It has been a week since the release of the Titanic movie, thanks to the strong pre-release promotion and the success of the premiere.

Within two days, cinemas from all over the country, having caught wind of the news, came to King's Entertainment to discuss the importation of the film and its screening schedule.

With its snowballing effect, the Titanic movie even created the myth of grossing over 100 million dollars in a single day.

This has astonished many film critics.

Mike, who had been staying in the King's Building, probably didn't know that he was now being hailed as a seasoned film investor because of his successful investment in the Titanic.

In other words, Mike established his transcendent status in the film industry with just one movie.

“Jesse, these are all our own people, you don’t need to be so formal.” Mike looked at Jesse, who was dressed like a female executive, and gestured for her to sit down next to him to report on her work.

At the top of the main building of Mike's King's Tower, there is a large glass sun pool, next to which is a row of comfortable waterbeds.

It's mid-June now, the perfect time for a refreshing shower.

Mike was lying flat in the middle of the waterbed, surrounded by three girls with sexy figures dressed in revealing clothes, plus Jesse in a formal suit. There was no one else in the room.

Therefore, Jesse can be quite casual.

“This is work time for me now, please respect my professional ethics.” Jesse pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, glared at her absurd husband, and refused to comply.

Of all the girls who were close to Mike, Jesse was the most career-minded.

“I understand, we use job titles at work…” Mike joked, “So, Manager Jesse, is there anything else you need to report?”

"There are two more things to report." Perhaps he'd been too immersed in his role for too long, Jesse pulled out his notebook and said, "One is about the new Titanic movie. The agency is discussing with director Cameron that they plan to use this commercially successful film to open up the international market..."

"On the one hand, it can earn more box office revenue, and on the other hand, it can help to enhance the international reputation of the agency and director Cameron."

"However, whether or not the film will ultimately be released overseas is a decision you, as the investor, need to make."

According to the box office revenue model of movies, the box office revenue in the first week is about half of the total box office revenue of the whole movie, and the box office revenue in the following month is the other half.

As for a month later, the movie should be finished showing.

If a movie wants to make money after its theatrical run, it either needs to sell DVDs or go overseas.

The Titanic movie has grossed over 600 million at the box office so far, so it should reach a total box office of 1.2 to 1.3 billion a month from now.

This achievement far surpasses all previous box office records for any film.

Therefore, the King's Agency and director Cameron felt that this historic epic still had a lot of potential to be explored.

“Exporting overseas? I have no objection. Let the agency and director Cameron handle it.” Mike quickly agreed to the suggestion.

Exporting a film overseas is simply another round of promotion abroad.

If handled properly, the new Titanic movie should be able to earn another 200 to 300 million yuan at the overseas box office.

With the potential to make money and gain fame, Mike had no reason to object.

“Okay, I’ll pass on your message to Director Cameron and the company.” Jesse took out his pen and scribbled a couple of notes in his notebook before continuing, “The last thing is about the sales of the Devil Body Group’s collaboration album.”

Following the popularity of the new Titanic movie, the Devil Body Band's self-titled album "My Heart Will Go On" has also been released.

Although the sales period has been less than a week, it's easy to imagine that the results will be quite good.

When Jessie mentioned the new album, the three girls from the waterbed with their amazing figures unconsciously perked up their ears.

"The Devil Body Group's collaborative album sold over 90,000 copies within four days of its release, thanks to the popularity of the Titanic movie. At this rate, the album should reach Silver Record status in another week..." Jesse announced the data for the Devil Body Group's new album.
