Chapter 1108 How to Deal with the Urge to Get Married? (Twenty Three)

There will definitely be a sequel to "The Great Wall"...

When I first started designing the villain, the villain was the exorcists!

They drive a bunch of monsters...

A bunch of monsters are derived from the mythology of Shan Hai Jing, such as the Taotie, the Tiger Dragon, the Fei, the nephew, the pigeon...

The big BOSS in the first part is Yao Zhu!

These monsters are composed of melee bites, mindless charges, and long-range attacks...

The 梼杌 communicates orders through vibrations.

If we continue to complete the setting, it should be based on the origin, production, and relationship with mythology. Is it a creation of some evil god?

The second part will give an explanation for this. After all, the heroine of the first part captured three little Chaos - creatures with six legs and four pairs of wings, without ears, eyes, mouth and nose, and emitting a red light.

Well, Chaos in "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" is pretty cute...

Brought it over directly...

Originally, the second part was going to continue the war - plus Qiongqi, and engage in aerial combat!

Then you have to change roles.

Well, there is no big sweetness in the second part...

If Wanda is not satisfied, then Tianmei, China Film + Warner, without Wanda's funds.

Now, modify the framework: Chaos leads the way to the legendary gathering place of mythical beasts - the land of mountains and seas!

Introducing the extra chapter - the battle of mythical beasts!

Well, mainly because of the game setting and selling plush toys...

If you just fight back and forth, the audience will enjoy watching it, but you won’t be able to sell the peripherals!

After "The Great Wall" was released, peripheral products were directly launched on Maoyan. The contrast was obvious: the characters could not sell as well as the monsters, and even the Taotie dolls did not sell as well as the characters!

For peripheral reasons, we have to do "The Divine Beast"...

Then the plot of the second part has to be about the growth of Chaos and the division between ferocious beasts and divine beasts...

Of course, there must be a big battle at the end...

Otherwise, the US$150 million production budget will not be spent all!

Ahem... Mainly because I want to attract more viewers.

…

There is not much to say during the Spring Festival. Shen Xudong’s relationship with his parents has always been very good...

They rarely care what Shen Xudong does...

Thanks to Shen Xudong's fame, Shen's father also set up a small company in Luzhou, mainly to undertake many orders from Tianmei...

He also managed several cinemas...

Managing a theater requires no business skills.

In any business, as long as the benefits are greater than the costs, you can make money!

The main costs of theater operation include theater rent, employee wages, water and electricity expenses, marketing expenses, etc. Among them, rent, wages, and water and electricity expenses can be regarded as the fixed costs of the theater.

The cost of sales, maintenance fees, office expenses, transportation expenses, travel expenses, business entertainment expenses, communication expenses, transportation expenses, etc. can be regarded as incidental costs.

Income is divided into three parts:

Ticket sales: For every ticket sold, a percentage will be allocated to distribution, theaters and cinemas. Generally speaking, cinemas receive about 50%;

Rental: pre-film advertising, venue rental, and venue booking;

Income from sales: popcorn and Feizhai happy water, etc. This is a huge profit. The bean berry juice that costs one or two yuan sells for about seven or eight yuan...

In addition, there are also claw machines, massage chairs, etc...

The current stage of cinemas belongs to the era of making money while lying down. Maoyan, Taopiaopiao, Weiying Times, and Baidu Nuomi are all throwing money at them. In addition to the film studios, they also want to throw money at the theaters!

Capital is really crazy about subsidies.

In fact, even if he doesn't make money, Shen Xudong doesn't care...

I’m not short of money anyway, I just want to give him something to do and kill time…

Father Shen suddenly transformed into a cultural celebrity in Luzhou!

In the past, this was called Yuanwailang.

As for Shen’s mother, according to her idea, she wanted to continue to run extracurricular tutoring classes. Shen Xudong knew that the country would ban these things in a few years, so he did not let her do this and built an art museum for her...

Anyway, Mother Shen is very interested in art.

Both of them are very busy...

Just...Dad Shen occasionally participates in modeling competitions, beauty pageants and other activities, and serves as a judge...

This makes my mother very unhappy.

But...Dad Shen is quite happy. He often socializes outside. At least he hasn't 'met' true love or anything...

The two often quarrel, but their relationship is still very stable...

I have my own things to do, so I don’t have time to worry about my son. It often takes half a month to remember to contact Shen Xudong...

Except when urging marriage!

So every Spring Festival is naturally the best time to urge marriage...

The Spring Festival is really a good time to get married. One is that I can see you, see your face, and listen to your voice. Apart from the intimacy, I feel sad that you have not made any progress in your marriage;

Second, there are many relatives who are together, making it easier to compare. Who is younger than you and has two children, etc.;

Third, the Spring Festival is a good opportunity for family reunion. For example, your sister's children can call her grandma, but you are still alone...

No, my aunt and her family left, and Father Shen and Mother Shen started talking to each other:

"Look at who is your age who is not married!"

"That's it, don't set your sights too high, just make it work!"

"My mission will be accomplished if I watch you get married, otherwise I will always be uneasy..."

Shen Xudong nodded, then shook his head: "No, I can't control myself..."

"Control what?"

"It's cheating within marriage... I work in the entertainment industry, and I often meet pretty girls. They take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms, and it's hard for me to refuse..."

Father Shen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "...No, let's leave again..."

"Li..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "Then what's the point of my marriage?"

"Can't you stop cheating?"

"It's difficult!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "If I could control it, I wouldn't be me anymore!"

After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "...Moreover, the higher-ups value me very much now. If the higher-ups are dissatisfied because of personal moral issues...then I will be ruined!"

"Then you now..."

"I'm just a playboy right now. People above me think that a young man's temperament is understandable. If I get married and then cheat on me, it would be immoral... and possibly even illegal!"

“…”

"Then you won't get married?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "Wait a little longer, I don't need to get married now, I am living a good life!"

"What will happen to you when you get older?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I am worth tens of billions..."

"It's just because you have money that you need a child! If you give birth to a child now, your father and I still have time to help you take care of it..."

"...What if I give birth to a prodigal son...Besides, who will I give birth to?"

“…”

Seeing that his parents were silent, Shen Xudong added: "I know you care about me, but I'm really fine now... You two should pay more attention to yourselves when you have time. I'll go upstairs and take a shower first..."

"Um,"

"You don't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala anymore?"

"Forget it, the current Spring Festival Gala is not interesting at all..."

Dad Shen suddenly remembered something: "Is your grandma coming over later to play mahjong?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I can't play mahjong... and I don't want to learn it. Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and I have to give remote control. You guys can play!"
