Chapter 202: Unexpected Fortune

Su Yun who heard the last piece of news: What the hell?!

The rumor that "Mary Sue filmed a documentary about cashing out all her assets and then spending her billions as quickly as possible" was indeed arranged by her - but who could have imagined that after being passed from person to person, people's imaginations would become so outrageous!

As for the emoticon-like expressions of Zhuang Long and Bourne on the poster, it was because the former always wanted to prove his own strength with his acting skills so he didn't mind destroying his image, and the latter always disliked his title of the world's most beautiful boy so he was very happy to make himself ugly... In the end, he and Su Yun's idea hit it off and created the effect of the poster where the expression management was completely out of control after achieving success.

If the heroine's role in the play was not important and therefore she was not planned to be on the promotional posters, even the young and beautiful Meg would not mind letting herself go like this: to enter this circle, unless you have achieved the status of a big brother or big sister or a superstar level who can in turn affect the box office, otherwise, you have to obey the arrangements.

Are you afraid of affecting your image and unwilling to follow the arrangements?

That's easy. There are people everywhere who want a role with lines!

"Do you need me to do anything?" Although Ovitz is very happy about the popularity brought by this rumor, considering that Su Yun is still a very young lady, this rumor that is somewhat damaging to her personal image may bother her.

"No need, it's not a big deal. It's good enough now. These rumors have brought attention, and there will definitely be more people buying tickets and entering the cinema than before - no matter what their mentality is." Su Yun replied calmly.

This brings us back to the very beginning: when she made her first movie "The Perfect Match" and all the movies she participated in afterwards, she had the mentality of fooling whoever she could.

In short, no matter what the audience's initial impressions are, the one who can trick them into going to the theaters in the end wins...

In this world, there are people who don't even like money. There is definitely no such thing as something with a 100% positive review rate. For a commercial film, it is enough to gain the likes and support of the majority of ordinary people, or to persuade these people to pay for tickets.

Amid such popularity, "Brewster's Billions" officially began to be released in the Hong Kong market on July 1st. However, due to the time difference in North America, the release will be adjusted accordingly according to the local time.

Outside an old movie theater in a slum area of ​​Los Angeles, several teenagers are looking up at new movie posters.

"Which one do you want to see?" The teenagers discussed for a long time, and then Adam, the youngest among them but the one who paid the most, made the final decision.

"Let's watch this one and this one?" Adam looked at all the posters carefully, and then calculated again and again in his mind before making a decision, "Of all the money we have, only these two are exactly what we have spent."

"Okay, then, let's watch this "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and this... "Brewster's Billions"!" The teenagers looked at the time, "Watch "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the afternoon and "Brewster's Billions" in the evening."

"Indiana Jones" is an action movie that was released in mid-June. It has a strong combination of George Lucas as the screenwriter and Spielberg as the director. It has always had a good reputation in schools and has topped the weekly box office charts for several consecutive weeks.

Even though it is almost ending soon and the weekly box office figures have obviously shrunk, it is still a big hit movie of the year after all; so even though they chose to show the movie in the afternoon so that it can have a certain discount compared to the busy show in the evening, the ticket price is still relatively high among the prices in this pile of posters.

These young people don't have much money on hand, and after they pool their money together, they buy expensive tickets for popular movies, so they can only choose a "bonus" movie from the unpopular and low-priced section.

Perhaps it was the desire to get rich quickly that brought them together, and after some careful selection, they fell in love with the name "Brewster's Billions": the huge amount of US dollars piled up in the promotional poster, plus the exaggerated expressions of the emoticons that reduced the racial distance of the oriental-faced protagonist, made the American teenagers, who have always had little affection for oriental movies with a particularly distant sense, start to try this new taste.

After watching "Indiana Jones" with a lingering feeling, Adam and his friends said goodbye to each other and planned to go back home to have dinner before coming back to watch the next movie.

Because these teenagers all live in a chaotic slum, even though Adam is still young, he has already learned the daily routine of turning a blind eye to things that do not concern him.

However, if it concerns you, then you must see it clearly.

Pulling his golden-haired little brother Leon behind him, Adam frowned and listened carefully to the quarrel in front of him. He soon found out the reason for the quarrel: his stepfather George was arguing with his ex-wife Emmeline over their different ideas about child education.

And this child is certainly not him, but Leon behind him - Leon is the child of George and Emmeline. The two divorced when he was only one year old, but in order not to hurt Leon, the two chose to live as neighbors.

And his mother is George's new partner after his divorce.

Although they were not blood relatives, when Adam first moved in with his mother and stepfather George, he actually loved the "sister" next door who was a few years younger than him. At that time, little Leon was skinny, small, fair, cute, and had a bob haircut, so he initially treated this brother as a sister...

Later, Leon cut her hair into a side part. After Adam spent several days digesting the shock of his sister becoming a brother, he began to love his brother again, who lived in a dark slum but had a sunny personality.

Of course, I wouldn't take as much care of my younger brother as I do of my younger sister.

But no matter how unprotected he was, Adam did not agree with his hippie stepfather taking little Leon, who was not even seven years old, to the bar to "see" and "get to know" his friends who were so-called avant-garde artists but were actually drug addicts!

Seeing Adam coming back, Emerine took two steps back to stop the meaningless quarrel, then quickly took out a few crumpled bills from her wallet and stuffed them into his pocket: "Adam... I'm on the night shift tonight and can't leave. Please help take care of Leon tonight, and don't let George take him out."

Adam took the money and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Emerine. I'm going to the movies with my friends tonight and I'll take Leon with me."

"Thank you." Emerin breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his stepson and his son being quite wary of him, George swore a few words in annoyance and then stopped pestering them. He turned around and went out to hang out with his bad friends.

Adam was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took the money and bought a pizza with Leon to fill his stomach. Then he went back to the cinema door and waited.

As the time was approaching, the teenagers who had just finished their dinner came here one after another.

Seeing Adam and his non-blood-related brother standing at the door of the cinema, the teenagers asked a few questions casually, and after learning the reason, most of them expressed understanding.

Then, a group of people acted like good brothers, and then one by one they started to mess up Leon's well-groomed side-parted hair into a mess...

There's no way. Although Adam is young, he has a strong aura and good skills. They have no choice but to recognize him as the boss. Now a newcomer who is even younger and looks particularly thin and fragile has come, so naturally they will "take revenge when there is revenge and take grudges when there are grudges."

But what they didn't expect was that after little Leon realized that he was being fooled, he immediately raised his little fist and hit each of them, as if to say "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Hiss - you little guy, you look small but you are really strong." A young man who was accidentally hit couldn't help but hissed as he felt the pain in his arm.

"His mother has the blood of a warrior race, so don't underestimate him." Adam looked at their frustrated look as they tried to steal something but ended up losing the rice instead, and then he slowly told them the reason why little Leon had such high fighting ability.

"No wonder..." A group of teenagers suddenly realized: Although the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union is cold now, the only country that can gain recognition from Americans is the distant country where all the people are a fighting nation.

After checking their tickets and entering the theater, they sat together, laughing and waiting for the movie to start. Due to the geographical location and the quality of the clientele, there were no strict requirements for silence like in regular cinemas.

"By the way, the tickets are so cheap, will it be another Eastern movie that makes you want to fall asleep?" The teenagers discussed.

"Maybe it's a kung fu movie like Bruce Lee's. That kind is worth watching!" Someone also gestured a few times.

"Shh, stop arguing, you'll know when you see it - it's started!"

After the opening credits quickly flashed the Zhao logo and a list of cast and crew members, the black screen gradually faded.

As the camera zoomed out, Zhuang Long, who was wearing an expensive-looking suit, had a slicked-back hair, a big cigar in his mouth and a glass of red wine in his hand, and looked like a big boss, suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Huh? Looks pretty good?" The scene looked like a banquet, and the handsome male protagonist with an oriental face didn't look like the kind of guy in the current oriental movies who was out of tune with the times. Instead, he looked like the American upper class who was arrogant and deserved to be beaten...

But this bossy look did not last long. With a sudden roar, the male protagonist named "Bruxt" played by Zhuang Long was instantly awakened from his life of decadence.

The rich man's attire turned into the tattered clothes of a homeless man.

"Are you still lazing around here? Hurry up and change your clothes for the next show!" In a scene that looked like backstage, a middle-aged man dressed like a manager threw a yellow vest and long gown into Brewster's arms.

Seeing the stereotypical props such as the melon-shaped hat and the moustache, Brewster got angry on the spot: "I graduated with high marks from a well-known drama school. I will not accept such a racially discriminatory way of acting!"

After a big argument with his manager, Brewster decided to quit his work for the day and went to drink with his friends in anger.

The second male lead, Spike, played by Bourne, is a resident singer in a bar. Seeing his friend coming, he quickly sang his few songs and then went out to drink with Brewster.

Although both of them were young men who were penniless in pursuit of their dreams, because of their good looks, after they sat and drank for a while, they attracted two women who came over to chat with them.

But those two women were not easy to deal with. When they failed to hook up, they turned around and told their boyfriends that Brewster and his partner had flirted with them and were planning to do something bad to them. This immediately aroused the anger of the two macho boyfriends who came over with a group of their followers.

"You see, bars are so chaotic. A small person like you will only be bullied if you go there." Adam took the opportunity to teach little Leon a lesson.

Little Leon nodded obediently and continued watching the movie: Brewster obviously did not have the racial talent attribute of "Chinese people all know Kung Fu". After a few moments, he was surrounded and beaten and he and his good friend Spike ran around the scene in panic...

As luck would have it, the consequence of not paying attention to the chaos on the road was that the two of them ran into the arms of the police who came after hearing the news.

When they saw the police coming, everyone in the place scattered, except for Brewster and Spike, two guys with extremely bad luck, who were arrested and thrown into prison.

"Don't worry, I was arrested too. This time it's definitely not racial discrimination." Spike, a white man, said jokingly, "Just wait, someone will come to bail us out soon."

However, the two men who were waiting eagerly did not even receive the bail from the theater owner and the bar owner. Instead, the theater owner and the bar owner came to inform them that new people had been found to replace them in the theater and the bar, so they had to stay there and receive their punishment.

Without the boss's rescue, the two men will face charges of molesting women in the bar when they go to court.

Either pay $3,000 bail or go to jail.

"How can we afford so much money?!" Just when the two unemployed people were planning to spend some time in a jail with free food and lodging to get by, a man with a camera suddenly stood up and said he was willing to pay the bail for them.

"I've met him. He's been secretly taking pictures of me these past few days..." Brewster thought for a moment and was quite surprised. "Could it be that he's a talent scout who's attracted to my acting talent?"

"Maybe he's interested in making music..." Spike quickly stood up.

Brewster and Spike thought they had finally met their mentor. After paying the bail and leaving the police station, they were taken all the way to the big city of New York by a man with a camera.

While excitedly sitting on the sofa waiting to be received by some entertainment industry tycoon, Brewster noticed that the person who came was not someone he knew from the entertainment industry, but someone dressed like a financial elite.

After a brief self-introduction, this financial elite told Brewster in a sad tone that his great uncle, who was an oil tycoon, a real estate tycoon, and a hidden super-rich, had just passed away, and he was the only living heir of this great uncle.

"What do you mean?" Brewster was a little confused.

"That's right, you will inherit a huge inheritance of more than 300 million US dollars tax-free." The financial elite couldn't be calmer when he said this.

But the audience outside the play who saw this were all very excited——

A huge inheritance of over $300 million!

Duty-free inheritance!

Is there such a good thing in the world?!
