Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

At this moment, a car parked in front of Chen Zhao's house.

Chen Zhao went out and saw that it was Steven.

Chen Zhao quite welcomed Steven's arrival.

But he came too suddenly.

Moreover, he didn't even bring an assistant, he just came directly to his home.

Chen Zhao remembered the last time he talked to him. It seemed that he hadn't finished filming yet.

"Hey, old bastard, you didn't even notify me when you came."

Chen Zhao stepped forward and hugged Steven: "Why are you here?"

"Chen, I'm in a bad mood."

"Have you been overindulging in sex lately?" Chen Zhao looked Steven up and down: "Do you want me to check you out?"

"Is there a bar at home?" Steven asked.

"Come in." Chen Zhao didn't know what was wrong with Steven.

However, his mood did seem a bit depressed.

Chen Zhao brought out some beer.

The princess came over with her big butt twisted, and she also wanted to drink beer.

"Come here, honey."

Steven stepped forward and helped the princess open a bottle of beer.

He took a sip first and then fed it to the princess.

"What happened?"

"Asshole, I will never cooperate with PLM again, they are all bastards." Steven roared vently.

"What's going on?"

"Those bastards want my new movie to be released in July."

"Then what?"

"Then what?" Steven's glasses widened: "Do you know how complicated it is to make a movie? Soundtracking, dubbing, color grading, editing, and reshoots all take at least half a year, but now there are only three left. Months, three months for post-production, not even enough time for promotion, the box office will be all over the place by then, Chen, do you know how big an impact this will have on me?"

"Isn't Rasfa's final decision on this matter? Let's discuss it with him."

Chen Zhao is not in this industry, so he doesn't know much about it.

"That old bastard can't do anything." Steven said helplessly.

"Why?"

"He is not the one who has the final say in PLM. Rasfa's opponent is the second largest shareholder Srodi, and Srodi's camp includes the manager of the resource publicity department, because in February next year there will be A super A-scale production "New York Project" invested by PLM was about to be released, so the party headed by Srodi proposed to give "New York Project" enough promotion time, and my "New York Detective" wanted to To obtain publicity resources, we either have to wait until after "The New York Project" to be released, or we have to release it in advance."

Steven said helplessly: "If it is released in July this year, then from now on, it will be impossible to cover the publicity in three months, and PLM only has a publicity budget of 5 million, fu* *, Do you know what the promotional budget of "The New York Project" was? Eighty million U.S. dollars, while the filming cost of "The New York Project" was only 120 million U.S. dollars."

Steven was here to complain. What could Chen Zhao do? He had almost no idea about those things in Hollywood.

"Steven, I believe you can succeed, even if it only takes three months."

Steven shook his head: "Anyway, I no longer have any hope for this. Once "The Filthy Detective" fails, I will bear full responsibility and my reputation will be greatly damaged."

"Is there no way at all?" Chen Zhao asked.

Steven shook his head: "The post-production time is too short, the publicity time is too short, and the publicity budget is too small. It is simply impossible to succeed."

There was nothing Chen Zhao could do about Steven's complaints and grievances.

He is not the almighty God. If he were God, his box office would definitely break the world record.

Well, Steven was just complaining to Chen Zhao.

When Fali came back, she saw Chen Zhao and Steven lying on the grass, with cans scattered everywhere.

"Hey, Chen." Fali patted Chen Zhao's face.

Chen Zhao opened his eyes drowsily: "Dear, what time is it now?"

"How much did you and Steven drink this afternoon?"

Chen Zhao rubbed his forehead: "I don't know."

After a while, Steven also woke up.

"Chen, Fali, it's time for me to go."

"We can't leave. I don't want to be saddled with murder. You're not even sober yet." Chen Zhao grabbed Steven.

"I still have work to do."

"I don't care how much work you have, you have to spend one night here."

Steven couldn't defeat Chen Zhao. The key was that Chen Zhao took away his car keys.

Steven can only stay here for the night.

But for Chen Zhao and Steven, it was eating and drinking at the same time.

Steven drank until he vomited, and finally Chen Zhao took him back to the bedroom.

When Chen Zhao went downstairs, Fali was sitting by the lake.

"Steven arranged it?"

"Um."

Chen Zhao sat next to Fali, and at this time Xiaojiu surfaced.

A head rested gently on Fali's thigh.

Fali stroked Xiaojiu's head. The cold skin touch felt very comfortable.

It's completely different from the furry feeling of mammals.

At this time, Obitos crawled over.

Xiaojiu was startled and immediately dived into the water.

Facing the fire dragon bloodline of Obitos, Xiaojiu was still a head shorter.

Moreover, Obitos, who is more than four meters long, is much stronger than Xiaojiu, who is less than seven meters long.

Furthermore, one of them has a fire attribute and the other has a water attribute, so they are naturally incompatible.

Every time Xiaojiu meets Obitos, he is always bullied by Obitos.

"Ada." Obitos' head arched against Chen Zhao.

Obitos also followed Xiaojiu's example, leaning on Chen Zhao and Fali.

It now weighs nearly 600 kilograms. Even if it doesn't completely weigh on Fali, Fali can't bear it.

Moreover, the scales on Obitos' body are not as smooth as Xiaojiu's, coupled with its fire dragon bloodline.

It doesn't have the coldness of a cold-blooded animal. Instead, you can feel a scorching temperature when you put your palms on its skin.

"Ada, my father said that the inventory of Logan Samael's property that he packed up has been completed. When you are free, you can go and receive your share."

Chen Zhao nodded, he was also looking forward to how much he could get.

"Chen, when I passed by the supermarket today, I heard the supermarket employee say that you bought a lot of things, including TVs and everything. Who are these things for?"

"Ah..." Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "It's for the people in that place. They are isolated from the world. They don't have many outside things. Every time I go there, I am empty-handed, so I plan to bring some outside. The products are given to friends over there.”

"Oh, are you going there again soon?"

Fali was curious about where that place was.

"Well, I have to go there again in the next two days."
