Chapter 522: Local Snake



The middle-aged bald man looked at his legendary boss, his expression seemed a little strange, and he began to feel uneasy. He looked at Cameron for help.

Cameron saw this guy looking at him again, and turned his head away in anger. He was a consultant, and he was doing it for the development of the company...

That is indeed a bit against his will. What does he really want to do by being a consultant in such a not-so-serious film and television company...isn't it just to "learn more" and "get more exposure to other film industries"?

He hasn't gained much benefit yet, so why do you want him to take the blame first?

That's not possible!

Alan frowned as he watched the lion spirit acting opposite the actress.

Although this thing...can have a plot, but...it just looks weird.

"Come on, show me the financial statements and company plans."

There’s actually nothing much to see in the remaining scenes. Who hasn’t seen pile driving?

What's more, if they were made up like animals and painted blue, it would be like Avatar, and there would be no sense of immersion. If they got a real lion, Alan would still look up to them.

But I heard that the lion's time seems to be quite short?

There was a group of people, Alan was walking at the front of the team wearing a windbreaker, the corridor was quiet, the indoor studio on one side was decorated just like Alan's new home, each separated room had a different decoration style, making it convenient for them to shoot different scenes.

Passing by a field with a red cross logo on it, Alan stopped curiously, turned his head and glanced at the bald middle-aged man following him.

"Ah... Boss, this is our infirmary. Usually we do some preparation work before filming."

The middle-aged man opened the door and invited Alan to come in for a visit.

Although there is a Red Cross sign outside, once you get inside, you will find that it has little to do with the infirmary you imagined.

Alan looked at the things in the display case by the wall with some curiosity. They were all... small beads.

Looking at these things, Alan felt more and more familiar with them. Isn't this...

"Boss, uh... you may not have come into contact with our industry before. In the past, we mainly did some injection work before filming. Now... it's easier to find actors. It's not like before. Some of the actors we finally found didn't have good physical fitness. We can only use injections to help them increase... enlarge the parts they need for filming."

The middle-aged bald man gestured carefully while explaining: "Normally, after the injection, the diameter can be increased by one centimeter. As for the length, it is not easy to solve. However, through a specific shooting angle, some visual differences can be made up."

Allen subconsciously asked, "What about the time issue?"

"Ah? Time...oh...oh...the time problem cannot be solved. We shot separately. The long time depends entirely on post-production editing."

The middle-aged bald man pointed at the beads and said, "We used to use injections, but this method is more harmful to the actors' bodies. In recent years, as a benchmark in the industry, we have to pay attention to some methods, so... we have turned to using these beads. Although this thing is more difficult to install, the visual effect is better. Both male and female actors have reported that this method is better and less harmful to the body."

“…”

Looking at the middle-aged bald man saying these obscene yet righteous words, Alan was really confused about where his damn sense of social responsibility came from.

Looking at the photos on the wall, they are obviously very obscene things, but after such an explanation, they suddenly feel a bit high-tech.

“Huahuahua.”

There are previous financial statements, and I used to only look at their profit summary.

How many films were shot this year, how many videotapes were sold, how much money was earned, what was the total profit, how much money was handed over to the company, how much money was retained, etc.

He doesn't care much about other things, and he is the type who doesn't care about the operations here. Anyway, they can make money, so as the boss, he just lets them do what they want.

Now, it was the first time that Allen got to know in depth this adult film company that was already well-known in the American industry.

Theoretically speaking, depending on different concepts, some things may be illegal in some places. For example, if this kind of blatant pornographic film was placed in China, not to mention the distant past, even if it was just a few years ago, in the early 1980s, if you were caught, you would at least be shot.

But in America, their company is legal. As long as they pay taxes normally and the content they shoot complies with regulations, they are a legitimate film and television company.

Allen appreciates this idea.

Some things exist objectively, are popular among the general public, and are even needed every day.

The people need it and can use it, so why can't it be produced openly and put on the table?

Do you have to do it secretly?

What's the point of being sneaky? Will people dislike it if we're sneaky? Will we not need it?

Although Britain also has restrictions in this regard, Allen likes the atmosphere of America, "freedom"!

Look Film and Television Company's current operating model is to produce at least 12 films per year, which means that they will produce an adult film every month on average.

There are about eight of them that are the most basic type, which are the kind that can be shot with two or three people and very simple scenes. There is basically no plot, and they are all straight to the point with close-up shots.

What we want is a simple, direct, large and satisfying movie that only focuses on the male and female protagonists, and even the other actions and processes are the same.

It is precisely by insisting on filming over the past few years and releasing new products every month that Look Films has gradually become the leading company in the American adult film industry.

High output!

Strong financial resources!

No creative block!

And now, they have embarked on the path of self-adjustment and self-optimization, with eight basic films every year and two of the remaining four being traditional disgusting copycats.

Just pick two of the most popular movies of the year, shoot a "fan fiction" film, and rely on their traffic to get by.

This trick is very effective and also very disgusting, but they are not plagiarizing, they are just following the trend.

For example, if you release Iron Man and it does very well at the box office, they might as well make an adult version of Iron Man.

Your suit is all metal, and so is mine, but the shape and color of mine are slightly different from yours.

If you go out and beat up the bad guys, then I'll go beat up the bad guys too.

But there is a difference here. For example, the genuine Iron Man uses weapons to fight bad guys, and the bad guys are also men.

When it comes to them,... the weapons used to fight the bad guys are different, and the bad guys are also turned into women. Anyway, the bad guys are defeated in the end. How they fight... just watch the close-up, you can do it yourself!

Legally speaking, this does not constitute a violation of the law, and even if others find it disgusting, there is nothing we can do about it.

Even fans of the original movies don't hate them.

Who wouldn’t like to have a “fan fiction” adult version of their favorite movie?

In addition, Look Film and Television has always had very high requirements for actresses, which can be regarded as a benchmark in the industry. This makes it even more appealing to many fans.

Every time they produce a follow-up work like this, their sales will surge, and they will also gain a new group of various fans.

Others would buy their video tapes just because they misread the movie title.

After reading this, even though they made a wrong purchase, most people would feel that the money was not wasted!

On the contrary, some people will look for other works of this company after watching a movie. After careful study, they will be surprised to find that this is actually a professional film and television company and there are so many other films of the same type.

This will in turn boost the sales of their old films.

Moreover, they do not only sell films, because apart from making films, they have very free time, and unlike other film and television companies, most of their employees are temporary workers.

All employees of Look Film and Television Company have signed labor contracts and are paid monthly.

In their free time, some people have come up with the idea of ​​setting up fan unions like those for celebrities.

Guided by their employees, every time a new movie is released, they will send greeting cards and promotional posters of the new movie to their high-quality fans, even autographed photos of the actresses, and other personal items.

It didn't cost much, but the fans benefited greatly from it and they felt that this company was very different.

You are a company that makes pornographic movies, but you have already created a corporate culture and a fan base. What else can I say...

This is the good film and television company that the American people really need. Give me your strong support!

Anyway...it's magical.

Alan looked at the company's development record documents over the years, and his eyes became more and more strange.

I can only say... being in the right place, doing the right thing, and meeting the right fans, some things are really as if assisted by God, and they will succeed no matter what you do.

This pornographic film company that I bought casually back then has, after so many years of development, successfully come to its current stage.

Over the years, their company's projects have never failed!

Anything that is photographed can be sold and make money, the only difference is how much you make.

And if a movie doesn't sell well, they will summarize the gains and losses, learn from the experience and lessons, and focus on those movies that sell well.

Anyway... people who can shoot this kind of thing are usually thick-skinned, and they like research. There is no leader in the company to give them blind orders, so it is really... the atmosphere in the company is quite free, and quite American.

Right now, we are in the midst of an economic crisis, and people have no money left. But they have a strong need for these movies that can enrich their spiritual civilization...

As a result, other companies in the same industry have seen declining profits, but they are still making great strides.

Alan asked himself, if he were the manager of this company, if he didn't want to just live a life of idleness and wait for death, he would have to do something, since he was just sitting there anyway.

From this perspective, the idea of ​​turning raw films into blockbusters, increasing production costs, and producing high-quality films and TV series seems to be fine...

Damn it, I am short-sighted...

Oceana Hotel Santa Monica, Los Angeles.

In the reserved hotel private room, several old guys were talking in low voices.

Some of them were obviously not sociable and stood by the window admiring the night view of Los Angeles.

Some people gathered together in groups of two or three and chatted quietly. There were only a few people in this large private room, so it seemed very empty.

"Beck, why haven't they arrived yet?"

The old man who was speaking looked the oldest and was very stylish. He glanced at his watch and looked a little anxious.

"The people from Great Britain are arrogant... He is a hereditary earl and young, so it is normal for him to be late."

The man called Baker looked to be around 40 or 50 years old. He had black hair and looked of French descent. He had a very big nose and looked more like a bodyguard than a boss. He was extremely burly and his hands were covered with calluses.

"Hmph... I hate dealing with these Brits."

"Haha...Old Johnson, if you don't want to come, it's not too late for you to leave now!"

Seeing the old guy bragging, the middle-aged man not far from him deliberately rebuked him.

This old guy's family is rich and runs a fund. The total family assets are probably close to 10 billion US dollars. Theoretically speaking, their Johnson family is the richest family in the entire state of California. They are used to being high and mighty all the year round. Now that he is asked to wait here for a young man, it is inevitable that he is a little resentful.

But everyone is waiting here, and you are the only one who is impatient. Doesn't that make you look bad?

Old Johnson narrowed his eyes and picked up the unextinguished cigar beside him. He took a puff slowly, then blew out a puff of smoke towards the middle-aged man who was speaking. He said in a hoarse voice, "Chandler, don't think I don't know that you and Carl have been very close in the past two years. I heard that he introduced you to many foreign markets. You are a traitor."

"Oh, oh... my family is in the media business, and we cooperate with some foreign media companies. This helps broaden our channels for receiving information. Have I ever harmed the interests of our California? On the contrary, you... if that earl is interested in your fund, I'm afraid your family will kneel down in front of him and call him daddy, right? Humph..."

"You idiot!"

When old Johnson heard Chandler insulting him like that, he was so angry that he threw the cigar in his hand at Chandler.

"Click."

The hall door suddenly opened a little.

A man who looked like a bodyguard thought that something had happened to the big shots inside, so he poked his head in to check the situation.

He just happened to see several important figures looking at him at the same time.

"Uh... Gentlemen, the distinguished guest's car is downstairs. I... I... want to inform you in advance."

The bodyguard was stared at by several people at the same time. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He stammered and made up a reason to excuse himself.

“Get out!”

"yes!"

"Gentlemen, am I late? There's a bit of traffic on the road... This is my first time in Los Angeles, and I'm attracted by the prosperity here."

Alan walked into the private room with a smile on his face. Looking at the old guys in suits and ties, he immediately saw the old guy standing in the front with a hawkish look on his face, who didn't look like a good guy.

"Hahaha... I've heard of Sir Allen a long time ago. I'm glad you can come to visit us. I'm the current patriarch of the Johnson family. You can just call me Old Johnson."

The old man swept away the arrogance he had when Alan was not here, and enthusiastically extended his hand to shake Alan's hand.

"Young Master... This Johnson clan leader, his family mainly deals in mutual funds, which covers many fields. Many wealthy people, celebrities and even politicians have cooperated with their family."

Old Carl was like an old secretary, helping Allen introduce and supplement things.
