This man knows how to hype

Chapter 517 Don't scare me, I'm not afraid (for the King of Gua in Zhenjing)

to be frank.

Xu Xiyu really didn't expect this.

So many things can happen when you come to the United States by yourself.

If what Nancy said were true, not only would "The Three-Body Problem" suffer a setback, but her own works would most likely completely bid farewell to the North American market in the future.

In other words, what Nancy said on the phone before, "In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation, I just limit my own flow," is pure bullshit.

The ones who are really taking advantage of the issue are themselves. They are using the topic of "The Three-Body Problem" to negotiate terms with themselves: "surrender" or "withdraw from the Western market", there are only these two options.

It is foreseeable that if they choose to confront, the markets in Europe and even in third world countries, as long as they can influence them, will be hindered.

As for whether this stumbling block is really big, we have to try it to know. Maybe it is really big, or maybe it is just a paper tiger that looks scary.

But no matter what, they still have the final say in North America, the world's largest market.

Fortunately, my situation in China is still relatively strong, and both the government and the public are still supportive of me.

If I didn't have this basic foundation, I would be completely passive.

Wait, Hu Ningtian’s matter won’t affect my business in the country, right?

probably not.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu was about to speak, but Nancy continued: "Do you know how much we have increased tariffs on goods in the past two years?

The success of your work in North America is naturally because we are showing our sincerity to you. Leo, you are a smart person and at the same time, you are a very talented person.

We think you will become the leader of China's film and television entertainment industry for decades. Therefore, we hope to cultivate a leader who is closer to civilization in the Chinese entertainment industry."

"Closer to civilization?" Xu Xiyu was really amused by these six words. So what is close to you is civilization, and what is not close to you is wrong and ignorant?
"Yes." Nancy nodded, "According to our understanding, your current situation in China is not very good, and you are being targeted by Huahai, the largest film and television company in China.

It has been nearly half a year since you left Huahai last year, and you have made no achievements. Your career seems to have come to a standstill. We believe that they are extremely reluctant to see you rise again. "

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's us." Nancy emphasized helplessly, looking like she was unwilling to chat with Xu Xiyu like this.

She continued, "Of course, with your ability, you will definitely not be devastated, but you have the opportunity to stand at a higher position. It depends on whether you want to stand there.

Leo, there is a saying in China that goes 'the best steel should be used on the blade'. You don't have to worry about us telling you what to do. We just want to train more practitioners who are closer to civilization through you."

"What if I don't want to get close to this so-called civilization?" Xu Xiyu asked back.

"Then you will see the corresponding price, and you should think about it again." Nancy said, picked up the recorder, and pressed a button to stop recording.

Looking at her movements, Xu Xiyu felt as if there was a rage stuck in his chest for a moment.

Nancy could naturally sense his emotions and shrugged, "Don't blame me. I can't help it."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu laughed, then leaned back and looked at the ceiling and said, "Red Face and White Face singing alone, this is the first time I've seen it."

"What do you mean?"

"Pretending not to understand?"

“I really don’t understand.”

"Then I'll pretend that you don't understand." Xu Xiyu said, closed his eyes, and started doing eye exercises.

He felt that Nancy was playing the good cop and the bad cop, appearing to be on his side, but at the same time steadily advancing their work.

Or maybe Nancy really is interested in me.

But while she is interested, she is also using the good cop and bad cop approach to trick herself. This is not a conflict, as hobbies are hobbies and work is work.

Xu Xiyu himself is such a person, and there are a lot of such people around him.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

Thinking of this, he asked while doing eye exercises: "Can "The Three-Body Problem" win an award?"

“What if I get it? What if I don’t? No matter how wonderful The Three-Body Problem is, and no matter how well you develop it, it is just one of your many IPs. With your ability, you can create many more IPs.

These IPs have the opportunity to stand on the international stage and be loved by audiences all over the world. "Nancy did not answer whether she could win the award, but emphasized the greater benefits to Xu Xiyu.

"Yes." Xu Xiyu opened his eyes and then straightened up, staring at Nancy and said, "You are right. My IP will have the opportunity to stand on the international stage and be loved by audiences all over the world."

"So, do you want to make this happen?"

"That's natural."

"When will you consider it?"

"I have now made up my mind that I need to let audiences all over the world see my work."

Hearing this, Nancy smiled, held out her hand and said, "Then, welcome to become a member of the Federation."

"Haha, hahaha..." Looking at Nancy's outstretched hand and listening to her words, Xu Xiyu was immediately happy and fell backwards with joy. Nancy looked at him and laughed, with some confusion in her eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xu Xiyu laughing and saying, "Nancy, I really like the arrogance of you Americans. In your eyes, you are the whole world.

I can only beg you and serve you like a dog so that the whole world can see my work. How can you be so self-righteous and shameless? "

Hearing this, Nancy slowly withdrew her hand, and her expression couldn't tell whether she was angry or not.

Xu Xiyu didn't care whether she was angry or not, and continued: "Turn on the recording device. I'm telling you, don't write me any empty promises, whether it's Wall-E or The Intouchables.

The biggest reason why they can win the box office in North America is because of their good quality, the audience loves to watch them, and the audience recognizes them, not because of your charity.

If you can really make any movie I bring over earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, maybe I will actually consider your proposal.

But can you do it? You can't do it. Even your own Hollywood movies have a lot of losses. How can you guarantee that my movie will make money?
This time, you have only provided me with a relatively fair theater environment, just like we provide fair theater scheduling for imported Hollywood films.

Don't tell me about restricting imports. The protection month for domestic films over there has long been gone. Some films are not imported simply because the film producers feel there is no profit to be made. It's because the films you make are too bad and our audiences don't buy them.

How come you guys treat this thing that should be fair as a favor? Also, my box office revenue went to your theaters, the distributors, and the government collected taxes. Who is giving alms to whom?

They threatened me and told me that I could have let the whole world see my work. What, if you don't allow other countries to import my movies, they won't import them?
Do you still have this ability now? You are like a pig with a green onion stuck in its nose. What are you pretending to be? Ask those people behind you for me, what year is it?! Don’t scare me, I’m not afraid! "

After saying this, Nancy's face turned from red to blue, and then from blue to white, as if she was a little broken by Xu Xiyu's scolding.

She is the elite child of a large family. She knows better than those who have received a happy education whether their family is heading towards decline.

Therefore, now that Xu Xiyu had pointed her finger at her and exposed her, Nancy felt a little embarrassed, because many of the things she had just said were indeed "empty promises" and "threats".

She just clenched her teeth and stared at Xu Xiyu with angry eyes for a long time. Suddenly, she let out a "wool", covered her face and started crying.

"Eh?! Are you trying to cheat? You said you can't beat me, so I'm going to do this?!" Xu Xiyu was speechless. How the hell do you know the trick of "crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to hang yourself"?

When he said this, Nancy cried even louder.

She even moved her hands away while crying so that Xu Xiyu could see her tearful face.

This scene was exactly the same as when Xu Xiyu had just debuted and went to the police station with Lu Qinyao to report a crime. After arguing with the matchmaking scammer Lin Nan, she squatted in the police station and cried.

Even the movement of moving the hands away to reveal the face is exactly the same.

Seeing that this sister and he used the same tactics, Xu Xiyu continued unhappily: "Don't cry, I used this trick a few years ago, don't expect me to comfort you."

Hearing this, Nancy stopped crying, glanced at Xu Xiyu, and angrily took out two pieces of paper, wiped her tears twice, and said after wiping off her eye makeup, "You are not a gentleman at all."

"Is this the first day you met me?" Xu Xiyu leaned back.

"How can I report back?"

"You shouldn't have taken this job. You should have known this would be the outcome. This is just you. If it were someone else, I would have said something even more unpleasant."

These words made Nancy feel a little better.

But she didn't feel much better. She just threw the tissue she used to wipe her tears at Xu Xiyu, then stood up and said angrily: "You are such a disgusting guy, I hate you so much!"

"That's a shame. I will still love you as always."

"You think I'll believe you."

"That's great. I was afraid you would believe my polite words."

"You..." Nancy was so angry that her lips were almost bitten. In the end, she could only point at Xu Xiyu and say, "Just wait for me!"

"No more waiting, no more waiting. I will return home tomorrow morning. I'm afraid you will shoot me again."

"Hey, good idea."

“???”Xu Xiyu.

"I'll shoot you again. This is the second time you've been shot at. Then we can't limit your flow anymore." Nancy said this with a thoughtful look in her eyes, as if she was considering where to shoot Xu Xiyu.

He also seemed to be considering who should be assigned to shoot Xu Xiyu so that people would not know that he directed and acted in the incident himself.

When Xu Xiyu saw her thinking like this, he was dumbfounded.

No, is this sister so fierce?

"I have a very crazy suitor who is also very familiar with Jenna. If Jenna tells him that I'm dating you and sleeping with you here, will he come here with a gun?"

Nancy said that, but since she said that, she would definitely bring a gun.

Therefore, when Xu Xiyu heard this, he stood up and said, "You are fucking crazy, right?"

No, I have to run away.

Run away tonight.

I admit that my voice was a bit loud just now.
