I just want to copy books quietly

"Are you ready?"

"of course."

Cui Minzhen stopped asking.

He just smiled, with a regretful expression on his face, "It's a pity that those few movies are released together like this. At least hundreds of millions of dollars will be lost at the box office!"

Du Caige turned around and gave her a strange look, "Who said they will be screened together?"

Cui Minzhen suddenly realized, and laughed heartily, like a child without any scruples about her image, just expressing her relaxation and happiness, "You are a villain! You are a lie!"

"Of course. Tang Detective 2 is definitely going to be released. If you talk about Huapi, it depends on the situation. When these guys are scared enough to give up their actions, the remaining movies can naturally be rescheduled. The relationship between Zhumeng Huyu and these theaters is very important." Yes, they will save face, changing the schedule is a trivial matter."

Cui Minzhen gently leaned Zhenshou on Du Caige's back, and smiled vigorously.

This bad guy is getting more and more cunning and scheming now.

This is not a bad thing.

Although Cui Minzhen has always liked his innocence and simplicity.

Many people have guessed what happened to her and Lee Min Joon.

Only he, the person who has the closest relationship with her, doesn't know.

It's not pretending, I really don't know.

Silly.

She likes him for that.

Only he can give her a sense of security in this cruel world.

But in this circle, if you are too naive, sooner or later you will be eaten to the bone.

If he has a scheming heart, but does not harm others, but only protects himself, then there is no problem, and he is still the innocent boy she likes.

After a simple dinner, Cui Minzhen said, "Actually, your cooking is not bad."

Du Caige is self-aware: "If the steamed meat with eggs can still be unpalatable, then there is really no hope."

"Men need more encouragement," Cui Minzhen smiled cutely, "Do you like me to encourage you?"

Du Caige meant something: "Sometimes."

Cui Minzhen didn't wash the dishes, she said that she would call part-time workers to do the cleaning tomorrow.

The two snuggled up on the sofa and watched the sand sculpture series, chatting with each other.

Cui Minzhen asked suddenly: "How is your new movie going?"

"Still in preparation. Let's start filming in the second half of the year!"

Cui Minzhen was very concerned: "When you said you were going to make a new film, many people above spoke out to support you, and they also said that they would give you various supporting incentives, including borrowing the shooting location, giving you the green light at various filming locations, and some Clearance of important venues allows you to shoot, movie promotion, and even tax exemptions, etc., to escort you. But after reading the script, it seems that some people are quite critical."

Du Caige was taken aback, "You are quite well informed."

"I'm also focusing on the film and television industry now," Cui Minzhen said in a slightly coquettish tone, "They say that the country will escort you and hope that you will promote Dahua culture and do a good job in cultural output. But your new film does not Any place that spreads Dahua culture."

Du Caige didn't take it seriously, "The person who spread this word has bad intentions. In fact, I have communicated with the upper management, and it's fine."

Cui Minzhen sat up straight unconsciously, and asked with great interest, "What do you say? I also read your script, and there is really nothing to spread Dahua culture."

Du Caige laughed and said, "What do you think cultural export is? You have to wear ancient costumes and sing a piece of Kunqu opera to be cultural export?"

"That's not true. Cultural output is mainly the output of values."

Du Caige held her little hand, "That's right, and the value concept is reflected in the speech and behavior of the characters. Maybe in some people's eyes, if the 'painted skin' is spread, it is called cultural export. I I admit that "Painted Skin" is indeed very old-fashioned, and it is a story belonging to us Chinese people. However, how well foreigners will accept such a story is another matter. The "Matrix" I am going to shoot is not only a story that conforms to universal values, It can be accepted by people with different cultural backgrounds. At the same time, there are many private goods hidden in the story, many ideologies and ideas that belong exclusively to Dahua. This is also cultural export.”

Cui Minzhen has always been very interested in these topics and listened attentively.

After listening, she asked: "So, none of those supporting incentives will be affected, right?"

"Of course, it doesn't have the slightest impact," Du Caige is now full of confidence. "With these measures, I must carefully craft 'The Matrix' and strive to make a classic that will be handed down from generation to generation."

"It's definitely possible." Cui Minzhen leaned on his chest gently and rarely.

……

After James and Margaret left, they discussed for a while, and immediately began intensive preparations for the release of "Lyon the Outlaw".

In fact, Shen Jinsong has almost done the preparatory work before. What they have to do is to supervise the performance of all parties (including theaters, recruited sailors, film critics and media who have received benefits, etc.) to ensure that Shen Jinsong is not around. Sometimes, it can also advance normally.

Of course, there is also a very important thing: if something cannot be done, stop the loss in time.

"I don't like him either, but what can I do? If we offend him now, it will only make our situation worse," Margaret explained to James and Randall, "Low key, make money first, OK? "

James' expression was a little manic, "The question is, can we still make money now? Tang Detective 2 was released yesterday. On this working day, it got 13 million box office on the first day, and the word of mouth is also good. In the current situation, can you guarantee that it will be out of the law? Can the filming and business (money laundering) of Fanatics in Dahua proceed as planned?"

"Of course there is no guarantee, or in other words, we have a very high probability of losing money this time. But what can we do? Let's do it first. If it really doesn't work, then bow your head and stop the loss in time."

Randall, who did not participate in the negotiations at the time, suddenly asked: "Will it be useful if we bow our heads? What exactly did Hemingway want?"

"He wants Shin," James said gruffly.

"Give it to him."

"It's not what you think," Margaret explained. "What he wants is for Shen to be imprisoned in Dahua for the rest of his life."

Randall nodded: "It's ruthless. So what can we do?"

Margaret said: "I actually found Shen's lawyer and communicated with him. The charges against Shen were mainly attempted murder and fraud. As for the fact that he pissed Hemingway's father to death, the procuratorate believes that there is no legal recognition. The causal relationship is not considered manslaughter. Then his two charges are estimated to be sentenced to 5-8 years. Obviously, Hemingway will not be satisfied with this sentence."

"Not satisfied? Just kill Shen in prison."

"I'm afraid Hemingway didn't want to do this. He didn't want Shen to die. He just wanted Shen to live to redeem his sins," Margaret said. The court that supports Dahua re-sentences Shen. In addition, we can also collect some evidence of Shen’s crimes, and try to make Shen’s sentence exceed 10 years or even 20 years. In this way, Hemingway may be lenient to us.”

"Let's be more generous? Agree to let us continue to complete this business?"

"Who knows... But in my personal opinion, it is basically a foregone conclusion that we will lose money on this business, and now we are just struggling. If Hemingway can acquiesce in our future business development in Dahua and not interfere, I will be thankful. ’ sighed Margaret.

Then on April 4, the second day after Tang Detective 8 was released, the box office rose again and received 2 million.

On the third day, April 4th, came Friday. Obviously, the box office of Tang Detective 9 may continue to rise.

Margaret called her friends over again, and announced somewhat dejectedly: "Give up. Prepare to retreat."

"how?"

"I have communicated with several theaters. On the one hand, they are determined to reduce the film schedule of 'Outlaws', because the momentum of 'Tang Detective 2' is too strong, so our film schedule will be seriously insufficient. This single business It’s going to pay off if you keep doing it.”

"On the other hand, they have all been greeted by the people above. From the time of the release of 'Outlaws', they will be closely supervised to check whether there are any illegal operations. They will keep an eye on our release to see if there is any False attendance and false box office were not reported. It is estimated that Hemingway used his influence. It is not surprising that Hemingway has a lot of influence in the upper echelon of Dahua. In short, this order cannot be done, so let’s admit defeat.”

Randall punched the couch hard.

James buried his face in his hands, looking exhausted and pained.

"Give up, we've already lost." Margaret concluded.

"Then stop the loss in time," Randall recovered first, and after a long silence, he said with a final word, "Let's just do nothing and sacrifice Kyriad, borrow Kyriad, Nail Shen to death. The business he did in Kyriad is enough to sentence him for more than ten years. Anyway, for a company like Kyriad, we only need to re-register another one, change the name, and find more employees That's it."

"agree."

"agree."

Chapter 769 God knows who will win

On the day of the trial of the second trial, all members of the Du family were present.

Du Shuang was wearing his most decent clothes, with a solemn expression, holding the slim girl Du Shuwen by the hand.

Du Yuqi gritted her teeth for a while, and seemed to be chanting words for a while. This trial was of great significance to her.

Even Du Zhaozhao and Du Ruocun, who were still babbling, were carried by Long Jiumei and Song Jia respectively, and came here to witness.

Yan Yingzhen and Xu Qingya did not come, because Duan Xiaochen was with Du Caige today.

This influential judgment was broadcast live to the public on the court's website, so it can't be a joke.

As a young master in a foreign-related case that also involves the cultural circles of Dahua, it is impossible to be too cautious. In order to prepare for this trial, the judges have not slept well for several days, and Du Caige and his family naturally cannot do it. Something out of the ordinary.

Wouldn't it be a joke if two daughters competed for husbands and three daughters competed for husbands in court.

Today's Duan Tianhou is also wearing a solemn dress. She doesn't look like an entertainment star at all, but like an elite white-collar who accompanies the boss to participate in business contacts.

It may be because of the great attention from the outside world that a small court was chosen for today's hearing.

Except for relevant personnel, family members, and representatives of the Stars and Stripes Consulate, there is no room for other unrelated people to wait.

During the lengthy process ahead, Du Caige has been a little absent-minded.

It's not that I'm thinking about anything special, it's just that my thoughts are very chaotic and it's hard to concentrate.

Until the presiding judge began to read the verdict.

When the judge read out the long verdict, Shen Jinsong lowered his head the whole time, not knowing what he was thinking, with a blank expression on his face.

He's no longer the spunky look he used to be.

At this time he was wearing a prison uniform and shaved his head.

Although clean-shaven, he doesn't look sloppy.

But the spirit of the whole person is broken.

Whether it is a vice president or a citizen of the Stars and Stripes, these identities have been stripped away at this time.

What appears here is the most authentic attribute of a person.

Although it was guarded by two bailiffs, the rest of the people or things seemed to be the empty background.

He was the only one left in the whole world, standing extremely lonely in the dock, waiting for the verdict.

"What do you think he's thinking?" the younger sister asked in a low voice.

Du Caige shook his head slowly: "I don't know, and I don't care, I don't want to guess."

This is a true portrayal of his heart.

This matter dragged on for too long, he was exhausted, and he just wanted to end it quickly.

The pleasure of revenge?

Really do not have.

What is different from him is that there is a strong pleasure in Du Yuqi's voice: "I hope that he is in pain, in pain, so painful that he wants to die, but he can't die. No matter what happens, he can't realize the pain we had back then. pain. As long as he is unhappy, I am happy."

She lost her father during her adolescence, the most sensitive and emotionally uncontrollable age.

The trauma suffered during that period may not be healed in a lifetime.

But even though she said harsh words, her eyes looked a little dazed.

Du Caige didn't know what was going on in her heart, but as far as he was concerned, revenge was a very complicated emotion.

It is natural to avenge my father.

But when I think of my father's death, I still feel a little sad.

"Don't worry, he won't be happy one day in the rest of his life." Du Caige patted his sister's little head and assured him.

Standing in the dock at this moment, what was Shen Jinsong thinking?

He didn't know what to think.

Like a revolving door, many things emerged.

The order is haphazard, and there seems to be no connection between each other.

He thought of Liu Han a little more often.

In particular, I would think of the conversation when Liu Han came to visit him not long ago.

In fact, what was said specifically, except for a few words that were particularly impressive, he couldn't remember the rest clearly.

All he could remember was Liu Han's tear-filled eyes from beginning to end.

Liu Han is a carefree woman.

At the age of 40, he still retains innocent eyes.

For many people, life is cruel.

But she is different.

Because life was too good for her.
