Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

After leaving the main hall, Wenke Qige followed the trial elder.

"Teacher, I'm sorry for making you worry."

The elder judge walked silently until he reached the edge of the forest.

"Wen Ke, you know, if you just accept the punishment, you won't be in a desperate situation. At least I can save your life, but why do you make such a heavy promise in public? In this situation, even if I want to support you, There is nothing you can do anymore." The trial elder said with a somewhat harsh tone.

"Teacher, I really need your support this time."

"You know, I don't have many manpower anymore, and there is simply not enough to help you complete those tasks."

"No, I need money."

The trial elder was stunned for a moment. Did his student want to escape?

However, this thought was only fleeting, and he smiled to himself in his heart.

"Are you asking for money to hire people?" the trial elder asked.

"right."

"Are you sure you can hire enough people?"

For the judging elder, if this matter can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

After all, the Hunter Guild has existed for two to three hundred years, and its wealth has already accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.

Judgment Elder's own net worth is considered to be a super rich man.

But the trial elders also know how strong the psychics outside are and how effective they are in combat.

There are only a handful of people who are worthy of a fight.

What's more, it's a mission issued by the Scarlet Church.

Then every task is extremely difficult.

Almost every one of them claims to be an impossible mission.

"Yes." Wenke Qiege replied calmly: "I know who can help me."

"How much money do you need?" asked the elder judge.

"The more, the merrier."

"I will advance you 200 million US dollars first. If it is not enough, you can apply to me again."

"good."

…

"Chen, I heard that you still have a few movie rights, right?" Rasfa asked knowingly.

Chen Zhao curled his lips and lay on the beach without looking at Rasfa beside him.

"Speak directly and stop beating around the bush."

"Sell them all to me," Rasfa said.

"What's the price?"

"Three hundred million dollars," Rasfa said.

"Tell someone to contact my lawyer."

The copyright was purchased for US$700 million, but within three or four days, it was sold for US$960 million.

Speaking of which, Chen Zhao really made a lot of money.

However, the US$300 million is indeed considered a friendly price.

If there were another buyer, Chen Zhao would ask Alex to lead a discussion with the other buyer and raise the price.

But Rasfa obviously doesn’t need to be that troublesome.

This is how connections are used. There is really no need to fight over a price difference of tens of millions of dollars to maintain friendship.

Rasfa gave Chen Zhao a profitable price, and at the same time, he himself would not bleed a lot.

This is also where Rasfa is shrewd and he grasps it just right.

"By the way, when will our movie be released?"

"On October 1, it will be released simultaneously with China." Rasfa said.

"Oh?" Chen Zhao was a little surprised.

He knows that the mainland market is now the second largest film market in the world.

However, arranging the film on the National Day schedule is enough to show the importance Rasfa and Steven take to the film.

However, the National Day period is also an important period for domestic films, and many heavyweight domestic films are bound to be released.

As an outsider and not a super-A big production, it is impossible to compare with domestic films in terms of film schedule.

It’s not easy to break out in the National Day season where the heroes are competing for hegemony.

Chen Zhao does not doubt Steven's ability, but it is unclear whether Steven can make a movie that caters to the taste of the Chinese people.

At least Chen Zhao knows very well that in the domestic film industry, the most popular ones are comedies and Hollywood special effects blockbusters.

Let’s not talk about special effects blockbusters. Hollywood’s style is used all over the world.

As for domestic comedy movies, comedies account for almost half of the top ten domestic movies at the box office every year.

The movie invested and produced by the three of them is a more traditional gun battle with police and gangsters.

In the mainland market, police and gangster films have always been a hit or miss situation. The box office is not low, but it won't be very high.

At least during the box office blowout in recent years, there has never been a police film that has made it into the top ten at the annual box office.

In addition, it is in the fiercely competitive National Day period. Chen Zhao is really doubtful whether their movie can make it in the National Day period.

"Is it your idea or Steven's?" Chen Zhao asked.

Chen Zhao will not interfere with any decisions made by Rasfa and Steven regarding the movie.

This is the attitude and duty that a layman investor should have.

Chen Zhao would never be self-righteous and think that just because he was an investor, he could point fingers at two professionals.

"Steven said you have a way." Rasfa said: "Do you also have connections in China?"

Rasfa was also very curious as to what Chen Zhao could do.

Chen Zhao smiled: "This is a secret."

Steven didn't reveal anything about the lucky gold coin.

Steven knew very well that this kind of thing was too scarce.

The more people know about it, the less chance you have to use it.

Chen Zhao also didn't want too many people to know about the lucky gold coins.

Chen Zhao's lucky gold coin was not used for other money-making purposes except for giving it to Steven twice.

You can make money in any way, but lucky gold coins cannot be copied.

For example, on the day Fali gave birth, Chen Zhao asked Fali to hold a lucky gold coin.

Chen Zhao himself also used a lucky gold coin.

Lucky gold coins are not dragons and cannot grant impossible wishes.

The function of lucky gold coins is to allow users to do things that they can already do.

Just like winning the lottery, it's about luck, not ability.

For another example, whether an athlete can break a world record is largely determined by luck.

If an ordinary person were to stand on the field, even if he had lucky gold coins, he would not be able to win the championship.

Because he is not strong enough, lucky gold coins cannot make up for this gap.

Not long after, Steven also came, and the three of them went out to sea on the Hydra.

"Chen, don't you want Mirror Lake? Sell it to me." Steven said, shirtless and with a beer belly, holding a can of beer in his hand.

"Don't even think about it, I'm already rebuilding the Mirror Lake Villa, and I have no intention of giving up there." Chen Zhao said.

Mirror Lake is an important water source for Dashan Beer, and the vineyards there are also very important.

Not to mention tens of millions of dollars, Chen Zhao would not sell it even if it was ten times or a hundred times the price.

And there are other things in Mirror Lake that are not suitable for exposure.
