I’ll Add Points To All Things

At this moment, Wu Feng was also high.
Previously, because "Wolf Warriors 2" was going to be released soon, he couldn't drink or eat anymore and had lost a lot of weight. But now that the Chinese immigrant incident had broken out, it had directly boosted the movie's box office sales by a large margin. His originally worried heart was finally set at ease.
People were always self-interested. Even though he knew that this was not a good thing, it could still help his movie greatly.
That was why he called Su Yang early in the morning to express his happiness.
Su Yang was still on an Indian Ocean cruise when he received a call from Wu Feng. He was sunbathing on the deck and said lazily, "Hello? Brother Wu, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"Wu Feng said excitedly, "Brother Su! Our movie is going to explode!"
Su Yang replied nonchalantly, "I know. Didn't I say that it was going to already?"
Wu Feng said, "I didn't believe it before, but I do now! Perhaps we can really create a miracle!"
Su Yang asked, "What miracle?"
Wu Feng said, "10 Billion Best Actor!"
Su Yang was stunned. '10 Billion Best Actor?
'Is this 10 billion referring to the movie's box office?''Wu Feng and myself have acted as the male lead and the second male lead in "Wandering Planet" and "Wolf Warriors 2" respectively. Based on the total box office earnings of these two movies, we would really have surpassed 10 billion yuan!
'However, only Wu Feng can be categorized as a 10 Billion Best Actor. I can't be categorized as one since I haven't won any Best Actor awards before. At best, I can only be counted as a 10 Billion Actor.
'However, for an actor to have such a high box office... Even if I don't have the title of Best Actor, I'm destined to leave my name behind in the film industry.'
After thinking about it, Su Yang felt a little emotional. However, he soon forgot about it.
After all, for him, the film industry was too small. Even if it was 10 billion yuan, it was only a small part of his large business.
If not for the fact that the entertainment industry represented publicity, cultural output, influence, and currency, Su Yang might not even be involved in this industry.
When he noticed that Su Yang did not seem to mind after the initial shock, Wu Feng's joy lessened. He asked, "By the way, Brother Su, I saw on the news that you rented a lot of cruise ships and planes and brought our compatriots. Is that true?"
Su Yang replied, "Of course. I'm on one of the cruise ships."
Wu Feng was taken aback. "You're overseas right now?"
Su Yang corrected him. "More accurately, I'm in the open sea."
Wu Feng was shocked. "Then why can I call you?"
Su Yang replied, "Oh. Jiadian Mobile's glass phone has its own satellite signal transmission. The number you called was sent to my phone through the satellite."
Wu Feng was even more surprised. "So… Your glass phone functions through satellites as well?"
Su Yang replied, "Yes, that's right. However, that satellite is my personal satellite. The signal conversion is just a supplementary function, so this function hasn't been publicized. We only have a limited number of phones using it at the moment."
Wu Feng was speechless.
"Excuse me!"
Then, Wu Feng hung up.
After hanging up, Wu Feng could not calm down for a long time.
'A private satellite?
'Is he made of gold?!'
At the thought of Su Yang's immense wealth, Wu Feng could not calm down. 'No wonder Brother Su isn't bothered about the 10 Billion Best Actor title.
'It's a 10 billion yuan box office anyway, not that he's earned 10 billion yuan.
'Meanwhile, he's already a trillionaire!
'And that's his actual wealth on hand, On hand!
'If I've got a trillion yuan, I wouldn't be bothered about the title too!
'No, I don't even care if this movie has a 5 billion yuan box office!
'After all, the trillion yuan worth of assets alone is worth more than that!'
Thinking about the five billion box office earnings, Wu Feng could not help but recall that he had previously made a bet with Su Yang. 'If "Wolf Warriors 2" ends up with a box office that exceeds five billion yuan, I'm going to have to give Su Yang an additional 10% share…'
The happiness Wu Feng felt instantly decreased by a large chunk…
…
After "scolding" the evil capitalist, Wu Feng could not help but wonder, 'Isn't it too much of a coincidence for the Chinese to retreat right now?
'Our movie is just about to be released, and they ended up being saved. This is a promotional opportunity that can't be bought even if we had hundreds of millions of yuan.
'Meanwhile, if it's purely luck, it seems a little far-fetched.
'Could Brother Su be behind this?'
However, when he thought about the price he would have to pay for starting the war in Central Asia and the benefits that this movie would receive, Wu Feng felt like he was overthinking things.
'The value of both these incidents are completely different.
'It's like buying a whole street just for a bowl of noodles.'
Therefore, when he thought about this, Wu Feng tossed his speculation to the back of his mind.
After all, no matter what the truth was, it was a good thing that the box office earnings were high.
Since it was a good thing, there was no need for him to know so much.
Not to mention… Such facts were too sensitive. Sometimes, the more one knows, he faster they would end up dead…
…
Actually, Wu Feng was not the only one who was suspicious of the chaos in Central Asia.
After all, the chaos in Central Asia was too strange and too fast.
No one would believe that there was no mastermind behind this.
Therefore, many countries started to push the mastermind according to the results.
After some analysis, many countries were surprised to find out that Su Yang's Jiadian Group was the only country that benefited from the Central Asia incident.
Not only did he strengthen his influence in Central Asia, but he also gained many petrol and weapons companies. Due to the Chinese evacuation incident, his reputation in China was even higher and he was famous in the world.
If this was all luck, then the amount of luck he had was too scary.
But if it was all Su Yang's scheme, then Su Yang was the one who was terrifying…
Therefore, while many countries were investigating, they quietly increased Su Yang's level of attention.
Just when each country could only rely on the results to push back, a country's security department in Central Asia received an anonymous encrypted document from Central Asia five days after the incident.
After obtaining this document, the security department looked at the relevant levels, and to their surprise, they found that it was a Level I confidential document.
They quickly sent someone to deliver the document to China.
When he arrived in China, the document first landed in the hands of the security department.
The big shot of the security department checked the code of the document and realized that it came from the secret agent organization. Therefore, they immediately informed the person in charge of the secret agent organization and prepared to decode the document on the spot.
When the person-in-charge of the secret agent organization arrived at the scene, he did not want to open the document. Instead, he wanted to bring it back for interpretation.
However, the big shot of the security department believed that the document had been sent back through the security department. It was through the security department, and the content might have involved national security, so his department had the right to know the content of the document, so he requested for it to be opened on the spot.
After a long stalemate, the agent finally gave in.
He called his team to unlock the document.
The document was transformed by three layers of encrypted code. After unlocking the encryption, they used the secret agent organization's internal tools to run the code and reverse-engineered it. Finally, they obtained a video.
When the video was released, the proprietor looked at the password in the appendix, and his expression changed. He tried to take the video away again.
But it was still fruitless.
In the end, he had no choice but to block those who were not of a high enough level. He only left behind a few security officers and played the video.
The video looked a little blurry, like it was secretly recorded in the dark. The video was on a hill, and at the foot of the hill, there were many silver-white mechas slowly advancing from afar with guns in their hands.
From time to time, shots rang out, people screamed, and… A woman lowered her voice as she explained, "My name is Angelo, and this is my last message. We've been surrounded by the average team from Jiadian Group. There aren't many of them, but they're mechas.
"Also, they're not normal mechas. They're liquid metal mechas like the Terminators from the movies. Some of them can fly, some have guns, and our weapons are completely useless against them."
As she spoke, the image captured a bullet hitting a liquid metal avatar.
The liquid metal avatar moved slightly, and the bullet was ejected. After a while, the marks on its body disappeared like it had not been injured at all.
The video came to an abrupt stop. Obviously, this was a video that had been recorded in a hurry.
After watching the video, all the big shots fell silent.
They felt like there was too much information for them to digest.
'Jiadian Group? Liquid metal mechas?
'Is this… The truth behind Central Asia's dangerous organization being wiped out?
'An extremely powerful single unit or even an intelligent combat weapon did all that?'
The big shots exchanged glances, and then the leader turned to the head of the secret agent organization and asked, "Was this piece of information sent back through our security department? Who delivered it?"
The person-in-charge was a white man in a suit and gold-framed glasses. He raised his glasses and said, "The source of the information is classified information from MI4. No comment for now.
"We sent it back through your channels because this is the last resort we have left for our own spies.
"If she decides that there is a high chance of life-threatening danger and is unable to use any conventional methods of encryption methods to transmit information, then she will activate this secret box.
"Confidential boxes can automatically translate documents and videos into encryption codes and store information through three layers of encryption. After that, they will send messages to the security department every three days at random.
"To prevent the security department from missing this information, the most important level is the highest."
After getting an adequate explanation, the big shots exchanged glances again. Then the bis shot said, "We accept your explanation. We will write today's incident into a report file. You also need to write a report and save it together."
"We don't care what your department wants to do, but we cannot harm national security."
The person-in-charge raised his glasses and said, "Yes. Also, our department needs everyone to sign a confidentiality agreement. This video is top-secret and cannot be leaked."
The big shots nodded…
After the agent left, the room fell into silence.
Even though the video was taken away and only played once, the shocking scene of the liquid metal avatar was still very important to the big shots present.
The few big shots exchanged glances, and then one of them said, "The intelligence officer in the video said that those liquid metal mechas were developed by Jiadian Group, didn't she?"
The other big shot nodded.
The room fell silent again.
After a while, the leader sighed. "This is a technology that can change the world. We might have to make some plans for ourselves and the country…"
"Yes…"
…
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. In this half a month, the attention of the overseas viewers was no longer as high as before. Meanwhile, "Wolf Warriors 2" had also taken advantage of the popularity to let most of the domestic audience know that such a movie was about to be released.
In order to turn the popularity of the movie into reputation and box office, Wu Feng also took the chance to discuss with the various cinema chains and organized many screenings.
The pre-screening was actually just a small-scale pre-production movie. Through this kind of small-scale screening to accumulate reputation, the accumulated reputation would lead more viewers to watch the movie.
However, once the movie's reputation was average, it might affect the movie's box office.
Therefore, this kind of screening was usually only used by movies that were very confident in their content.
And "Wolf Warriors 2" was precisely such a movie.
The simple and clear main storyline, the refreshing storyline, the positive mood of the country, and the theme that matched the current situation made everyone who saw the movie praise it. Some professional websites even had a rating of 9.7.
This meant that this movie was extremely good.
This also successfully attracted a lot of viewers who were paying attention to "Wolf Warriors 2" due to the withdrawal of their overseas investors.
Therefore, "Wolf Warriors 2" had blown up in its pre-sales before it even officially started screening.
500 million yuan!
This was the pre-sales ticketing data before it was released. It was already higher than "Wandering Planet". It directly refreshed the pre-sales box office record for locally produced movies.
And because there were not many people who could play during the summer break this year, "Wolf Warriors 2"'s pre-sales ticketing sales directly occupied more than 80% of the market.
At that moment, everyone had a feeling that another box office monster was coming…
