This man knows how to hype

Chapter 689 The Most Expensive Promotion in History
As mentioned before, the first promotional video of "Wandering Blue Planet" mainly mentioned the background of the movie and showed some wonderful shots. It did not reveal too much information about the characters, nor did it mention MOSS.

The second promotional video released now has significantly more shots related to MOSS.

However, this promotional video has not attracted widespread attention yet.

Because everyone's attention is still on the trillion-dollar plunge in U.S. stocks.

To be honest, after two days of fermentation over the weekend, everyone knows that the U.S. stock market may fall and that Nvidia's stock price may fall.

However, no one expected that it would fall so hard.

Trillions of dollars evaporated in a single day, and that was in US dollars.

Thinking of the "culprit Xu Adan", a hot word suddenly emerged in the stock market-related communities on the Internet - [Dan! ! ]

This buzzword soon became a hot search on the Chinese Internet, and corresponding explanations followed.

[Actually, it is the pinyin of “蛋”. When foreigners read this pinyin, its pronunciation is a bit similar to Damn (damn) and Down (down).

So, now foreign stock investors use this to mean "Damn it, I lost so much money!", and then it spread to other groups, and everyone is using it.]

This statement instantly made the domestic spectators laugh.

They are happy, but those who have suffered losses cannot laugh.

For example, Lao Zhou.

He is now in extreme regret.

I clearly knew about the release of MOSS-550B on Friday.

Zhou Zhou clearly reminded himself to run away quickly.

Why do you have to be so stubborn?
Now, his already tight financial chain has been made even worse.

Vomiting blood.

I really want to vomit blood.

However, just one day later, something happened that made him want to vomit blood even more.

Zhou Zhou suddenly opened his office door, ran over and said to him, "Dad, there is good news. Xu Xiyu told us that he can give us the money in advance."

"What money?" Old Zhou, who was sitting behind the desk, asked in confusion.

"He is willing to pay the balance of Jingwan Investment in advance, provided that his extra income after conversion is deducted."

As mentioned before, he sold 100% of the shares of "Beijing Wanta Cultural Investment", the largest shareholder of Wanta Pictures, to Xu Xiyu for 42 billion yuan, to be paid in two years, 20 billion yuan in the first year and 22 billion yuan in the second year.

The first installment of 20 billion has already been paid.

Now, Xu Xiyu is willing to pay the second installment, which is 22 billion, in advance, on the condition that Zhou Zhou gives a discount.

This is normal. After all, if Xu Xiyu has this 22 billion in his hands, even if he does nothing, the interest alone will be a considerable income in a year.

If Lao Zhou and Zhou Zhou are under pressure on their capital chain and are in a hurry to recover funds, it would be a good deal for them to give a discount to get the money first.

But the problem is...

"Why did Xu Xiyu suddenly have the money to give us in advance?" Old Zhou was a little puzzled.

However, after saying this, he suddenly realized something and looked at Zhou Zhou in surprise and said, "Could it be that he made money from the U.S. stock market yesterday?"

"Uh..." Zhou Zhou didn't know what to say when asked this question.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Lao Zhou knew that he had guessed correctly, and leaned forward to ask, "How much did he earn?"

"How would I know?" Zhou Zhou shook his head. "I heard that he made a little money."

"A little?!" Lao Zhou couldn't hold it anymore.

He slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "I think it's more than just one thing. My goodness, I got the money from him by selling Wan Da Films. I invested it in US stocks this time and lost so much that I almost cried for help!
As a result, he made a lot of money in the US stock market. What does this mean? Isn’t the money he made the same as the money I lost? So the money went around in circles and went back to him? ! "

Seeing his father scolding him vigorously, although Zhou Zhou felt sorry for the money, he couldn't suppress the smile more and more.

He knew that his father didn't really have any problem with Xu Xiyu, nor was he scolding Xu Xiyu.

Moreover, the 20 billion was definitely not lost. If it was, he wouldn’t be able to curse.

Dad is just in a state of breakdown and has no place to vent his anger.

Old Zhou, who was still not satisfied, continued to curse: "Now, he takes the money he earned from me and comes to me to ask for advance payment so that we can get a discount, which means we are still losing money..."

"Oh my God!"

"Beast!!"

“How could this be possible?!”

"That's all my hard-earned money!!!"

…………

After cursing for who knows how many times, Lao Zhou finally calmed down and said, "I'll go with you. I want to see how much money Xu Xiyu has made!"

"Dad, there's no need to go together."

"Then you stay here, I'll go find him." Old Zhou said and walked out without caring about Zhou Zhou's reaction.

"Hey, hey hey hey, Dad, wait for me." Seeing that Old Zhou was walking faster and faster, Zhou Zhou hurriedly jogged to catch up.

An hour later, in the office of the chairman of Dixing Group.

Xu Xiyu looked at the Zhou family father and son sitting on the sofa, with a puzzled expression. Isn't it just a matter of paying the balance? Why is Old Zhou here too?
That’s right, he didn’t know that Lao Zhou had lost a lot of money in the U.S. stock market.

If he knew, he would probably be laughing now.

"Mr. Zhou, Zhou Zhou should have told you about this. We calculated it and according to the contract, we can actually pay the balance of 22 billion in 21 months.

So, if you need me to pay in advance, I really have to calculate some profits. "Xu Xiyu said as he poured a cup of tea for the Zhou family father and son.

But Lao Zhou did not continue the topic. Instead, he took a sip of tea and then pretended to be casual and said, "Mr. Xu, I heard that you made a lot of money in the U.S. stock market yesterday!"

"That's not the case. I'm just earning some living expenses." Xu Xiyu laughed.

Wow, when the word "living expenses" came out, Lao Zhou and Zhou Zhou's mouth corners twitched at the same time. Is your living expenses so high?
"You're being too modest. You said yesterday that we earned at least $500 million or $600 million, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked us to discuss the advance payment today." Old Zhou still pretended to casually report a number.

After reporting, he and Zhou Zhou stared at Xu Xiyu's reaction, wanting to see if their guess was close.

5 million US dollars, equivalent to about 35 billion RMB, is not a small amount to earn in one day.

But when Xu Xiyu heard the figure of 500 million or 600 million, he didn't have any special reaction. He just waved his hand and said, "Haha, please stop asking. I just earned some living expenses."

have to.

His state made Zhou's father and son curse him in their hearts.

What do you mean?
You bastard, you can’t be making more than this, right?

Could it be $10 billion?
It can’t be more than 10 billion, right?

At this moment, the father and son were imagining things so much that their eyes began to glow with jealousy.

But at this moment, Xu Xiyu suddenly had an idea and pointed at the two of them and laughed, "Oh, I know!"

Such a meaningless sentence made Zhou Zhou and his son both stunned. They were about to ask him "What did you know?"

But then I heard Xu Xiyu continue: "I think you two made 500 million or 600 million in the U.S. stock market yesterday, hahahaha, congratulations."

"..." My goodness, as soon as these words came out, Lao Zhou's face froze.

"..." Zhou Zhou's head dropped immediately, and he almost laughed. At this moment, a woman's voice appeared in the ears of the three people: "Wow, Mr. Zhou, you also made 500 million or 600 million yesterday?"

Zhou's father and son looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shan Xinbao, who walked in with a stack of documents, speaking.

And the words she just said, "It also made 500 to 600 million", made the Zhou family father and son look at each other again, and that look seemed to say, "So we guessed right?"

cool.

After confirming that Xu Xiyu only earned 500 million or 600 million, Zhou's father and son snorted in their hearts for some unknown reason.

Although they don't know what they are enjoying.

But the amount of "five or six hundred million" finally calmed their envious, jealous and crazy hearts a little.

But the next second, Xu Xiyu's words almost made the father and son scream out loud.

"Xinbao, Mr. Zhou and the others are talking about US dollars, which is different from your 500 million or 600 million." Xu Xiyu laughed.

"Wait!!" Zhou Zhou couldn't hold it in any longer. His throat was dry and he couldn't believe it. "Boss Xu, are you saying that Boss Dan... Boss Dan made 500-600 million... RMB yesterday?"

"Well, I drank a little bit of soup and earned some pocket money. I can't compare with you guys, hahaha..." Shan Xinbao answered the question for Xu Xiyu, feeling a little embarrassed in his words.

There was a sound of "Boom~".

The Zhou father and son were struck by lightning.

Both of them had their eyes wide open, looking back and forth between Shan Xinbao and Xu Xiyu.

Yes, Shan Xinbao is one of the executives of Dixing Culture.

But after all, she is Xu Xiyu's assistant.

Even the assistant made 500 to 600 million RMB?
So how much did Xu Xiyu earn as the boss?
Before they could figure out the problem, Xu Xiyu said something that almost made them bleed: "Xinbao, take back the advance payment agreement.

Mr. Zhou and his team made so much money in the U.S. stock market yesterday, their capital chain is definitely not tight, and we don’t need to pay in advance.”

"..."Zhou Zhou.

“……”Old Zhou.

"That's right. If we pay Mr. Zhou in advance, we will suffer a lot of losses. So I'll take it back." Shan Xinbao nodded, thinking that what Xu Xiyu said made sense.

Missing!

Damn it, I’m short of money! !

Old Zhou was roaring in his heart, but at the critical moment, his stubborn nature made it impossible for him to say that he was short of money.

Seeing Shan Xinbao taking the agreement away, his heart bled.

As for Zhou Zhou, he was also very anxious, but since his father was here, how could he have a say?
So, he could only worry.

But the matter was not over yet, because Dan Xinbao, who had just gone out, quickly came back and said to Xu Xiyu excitedly: "Boss, NVIDIA can't stand the pressure anymore."

"How to say?"

"They just officially announced the access to MOSS-550B."

"What?!" Before Xu Xiyu could react, Lao Zhou's surprised voice rang out.

Damn, Nvidia's market value evaporated by 550 billion because of the emergence of MOSS-B.

With such a huge grudge, instead of seeking revenge from Xu Xiyu, they are just giving in now?

Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Xiyu, who had a calm expression, and felt that he was really old, so old that he could not understand the current situation.

Zhou Zhou's mind was also shaken, he opened his mouth slightly but couldn't utter a word.

He was speechless, but Xu Xiyu could speak. He said to Shan Xinbao in a calm tone: "The time has come, we can start streaming."

"The publicity and promotion department is already promoting it." Shan Xinbao laughed.

"Um... Mr. Xu, excuse me, what kind of trend are you promoting?" Zhou Zhou couldn't help but be curious.

"Oh, nothing, we were promoting "Wandering Blue Planet". We released a new promotional video last night, but the news about the U.S. stock market crash was too popular.

So, we just released it yesterday as a warm-up, and did not invest any marketing resources. Now that NVIDIA has given in, it’s time to spend money on the promotion.” Xu Xiyu did not hide it, because there was no need.

However, when the topic turned to "Wandering Blue Star", Lao Zhou could no longer sit still. He stood up and said, "Since Mr. Xu is busy, we won't disturb him for now."

"Will you sit for a while?" Xu Xiyu was a little puzzled. You came here without talking about anything and you're leaving?
"No, no, let's talk about it another day." Lao Zhou refused again and again.

After some back and forth, he took Zhou Zhou and left quickly.

A few minutes later, Zhou Zhou got in the car and didn't say much. Instead, he couldn't wait to open his mobile phone and check the news of "Wandering Blue Planet".

I saw a topic called #Trillion-dollar marketing expenses, the most expensive movie promotion in history# rushing straight to the hot list.

Under the topic, a video with the narrative mode of "marketing documentary" titled [Large-scale documentary "The Trillion-Dollar Movie Promotion Legend"] appeared in front of us.

Click on the video and you can hear the classic dubbing.

"When investors were still studying the secrets of traffic, he had already understood the true meaning of speculation."

"Give him a movie trailer with poor viewership, and he can wipe out $1 trillion from the U.S. stock market in one day."

"It all started with the viewing data of the first trailer of Wandering Blue Planet. Faced with the dismal publicity effect, he suddenly had an idea and decided to replicate the elements in the movie in reality."

"So, we can see that the space station in the movie is called the Navigator International Space Station, and it launched a satellite called Navigator 1."

"The artificial intelligence in the movie is called MOSS, and he trained an AI model called MOSS-550B."

"While his peers are still struggling with the lack of publicity and promotion expenses due to all the funding given to traffic stars, Nvidia has already contributed $6000 billion in budget for him."

"Faced with such a magical reality, the US stock market investors invented a dark trilogy overnight:
Dan! ! (Falls down and curses)
Dan? ? (Knock on your mother! Xu Dan, are you polite?)

Dan (closing positions with tears)"

"In response to this, Mike, a five-star stock critic in New York, said: Others make movies for money, but he makes movies to kill the US stock market.

If time could be turned back, I think the U.S. tech sector would even be willing to buy out his movie box office. At least the No. 29.23 box office in history was only $ billion.”

“Welcome to continue watching the large-scale documentary “The Trillion-Dollar Movie Promotion Legend””

numb.

As soon as this "documentary" appeared, Zhou Zhou was completely numb.

He had a feeling that the topic of "Wandering on the Blue Planet" was going to explode.

After the topic exploded, coupled with the quality of "The Wandering Blue Planet" that I had seen, it would definitely produce a box office result that would break the history of domestic films.

I just don’t know how much I can break through.

But no matter what, it will definitely not be the "60 billion" that my father has been talking about before.

Maybe 100 billion?
even more.

Originally, I could have gotten 80% of the box office profits, but my dad denied it with just one sentence.

What a loss!

Big loss.

I lost money on stock trading and on the plan. I’m losing money everywhere!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou finally couldn't help but said to Old Zhou next to him: "Dad, you disappoint me so much!"
