Chapter 141 Da Chun is here!

It has to be said that Quentin Tarantino is a genius.

Although he did not receive formal film and television education, he became a self-taught talent.

I learned it just by watching the movie!

This also shaped his unique style.

The first official film won a few small awards, which can be considered a good start.

And this second installment, Pulp Fiction, won a major award.

This film beat Zhang Yimou's "To Live" and won the Palme d'Or.

This is also why I plan to go to the United States in the summer.

If this goes well, Shenlong Pictures will gain further recognition and its influence will increase significantly.

……

It's been a long time since I've seen Peggy. As soon as I stepped out of the VIP passage in the summer, she pounced on me and hugged me, almost kissing me in front of everyone.

It's been almost five months since I last ate it~
First, comfort Peggy for one night, then take her to see Little Pyrrho the next day to see what Shenlong Pictures did last year and what their plans are for this year.

Then we arranged a time to have dinner with Quentin.

After reading the script and the rough storyboard, Xia Tian immediately nodded in approval.

"Your talent is on full display, Quentin, you're a fucking genius! Awesome!"

Upon hearing this, Quentin grinned from ear to ear, exclaiming, "Awesome!"

He's fallen in love with this word!

The final contract was that Shenlong Pictures would contribute 500 million, and Quentin Tarantino would contribute 300 million to make the film.

I'll have someone send the film to Cannes for exhibition in the summer.

After dealing with Quentin's investment, Summer asked Little Pello, "What Japanese company? They're actually eyeing our copyrights?"

As a creator, Xia Tian is very concerned about and sensitive to copyright issues, from writing to comics, novels to movies.

Suddenly, a small company said they wanted to buy the copyright, which made him very unhappy.

Good grief, you're here to steal chickens, aren't you?
"resident Evil"?
You guys have really good taste!

Then, Little Pilo pulled out the documents he was carrying with him and said, "It's a game company, called... called CAPCOM?"

Summer's amusement: Capcom?!
Huh? Did Li Kui run into a fake?

No, it's Li Kui who met my brother Song Jiang, the Heavenly Star!

"Are they still alive?" Xia Tian asked.

“That happened more than a week ago. Because you instructed us not to sell the copyright, I directly refused. However, they have an office here, you can contact them…”

"Then let's call them in and ask them what kind of rules and regulations they have..."

Without the boost from the game, Resident Evil wouldn't have achieved its later popularity.

You could start your own game company in the summer... but you can't do it in the US, the environment isn't right in China!
These days, console gaming is probably a thing of the past.

Capcom has now produced the arcade game Street Fighter, as well as many other arcade games; they are no longer unknown.

There will be Onimusha, Devil May Cry, and Monster Hunter in the future!
Summer has been negotiating the Resident Evil game rights issue, but he hasn't given an answer yet.

After three days of talks, Capcom's vice president flew in from Japan specifically to discuss the matter.

They not only want to buy the game's production rights, but they also want Xia Tian to endorse the game?!
Summer: Hmm? So you've got your eye on me?
After all, Xia Sang's popularity in Japan is inexplicably high. He has never been to Japan, yet he is about to become the most famous male celebrity from mainland China in Japan!

Oh right, his rumored relationship with Sister Yun is probably partly due to that.

But this suits me perfectly. I actually wanted to make the game in the summer, it was just a matter of money.

But it's impossible for them to just give him some US dollars to get rid of him. Xia Tian doesn't care about the money now; he cares about the IP!

I want to invest and get a share of the profits!
After giving a negotiable response in the summer, he left, leaving the rest to be handled by the company.

The economy isn't doing well right now, so now is a good time to invest!
It's simply a matter of percentage, and they even revealed some of the subsequent plot and settings of the comic "Resident Evil".

In short, this is a major project that's been around for over ten years, and it's selling very well right now.
Our boss is a big star in Asia and also very well-known in the United States.

Cherish this opportunity!
Before leaving in the summer, Xia Tian visited the Illusion Studio and gave Peggy the title of vice president, putting her in charge of expanding the studio's staff. The goal was to grow the team to 70 people within a year!
There are many more works to be created!
For example, the new comic book character designs and outlines that came out this summer—Tomb Raider!
Hmph~ I've already got Resident Evil, how could I possibly let Tomb Raider go?

This year also includes the comic book series *Resident Evil 3*, the adaptation *Bloodborne*, and previous works like *SpongeBob SquarePants*, *Family Guy*, and *XX Park*, as well as *The Adventures of Big-Nosed Dragon*, which is scheduled to begin serialization next year.
I'm getting busier and busier!
As for Shenlong Pictures, apart from investing in "Pulp Fiction," Xia Tian only arranged for the remake of the American version of "Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky," leaving the rest to Little Pyro.

They should be filming "Double-Headed Shark" this year, right?
In short, we can't stop focusing on low-cost operations!
American audiences love this!
Before leaving in the summer, I received an invitation from my golden retriever friend.

He said he had a problem and needed advice from an Eastern friend.

Golden Retriever: "My magical Eastern friend, please give me some advice!"

He also saw Summer's energy and ability in the incident where Michael was framed, so he decided to consult him.

He asked, "Do you understand feng shui?"

Xia Tian was taken aback: "...I know a little." He replied modestly.

This is America after all, so there's no need to be so cautious with Trump.

"Look at my newly built hotel, is there any problem? Why is business always bad, and why am I so swamped with trivial matters..."

In fact, once the building was completed, he received a stack of court summonses!

In the summer, he rode in the golden retriever's luxury car, drove around the building a few times, and then took out a compass to compare it.

He then went up to the neighboring high-rise building and looked at it for a long time. "Your building has some feng shui problems... You should hire a feng shui master."

Although the problem could be solved in the summer, he was unwilling to get involved. He also didn't have the time.

There are quite a few people in the US who make a living this way. In the summer, they help Golden Retrievers check the quality of feng shui masters. As long as they have the skills, that's enough.

That golden retriever was really something; knowing some of Xia Tian's little hobbies, he gave him a gift before he left—a well-preserved dragon robe from the late Ming Dynasty!
This isn't a python robe from Peking Opera; it's the kind worn by real Ming Dynasty princes.

I don't know which heartless person dug it up and sold it abroad.

We have to take this back with us!
Two months after Xia Tian returned to China, the Golden Retriever even called to say that changing the feng shui was very effective, and thanked Xia Tian.
The golden retriever even publicly commented on this year's New York Times article on feng shui: "No one wants to miss an opportunity to make money, and good feng shui will give you an advantage over your competitors. Asians have already taken up a large share of our market, and we cannot ignore their preferences."

It's clear that Golden Retrievers aren't all superstitious; they have a business sense to them!
……

After returning to China, Xia Tian carefully stored away the python robe and then began preparing for this year's Spring Festival Gala program.

As a result, at the end of the month, the four of them played a game of chance in their bedroom – a love triangle deck of cards created by the Milanese brand Enchanted!
As a result, Xiaoxu and Zhangli both drew the pose and the way to play, but Milan drew the "King" card - preparing for pregnancy!
Summer: "It seems fate has decreed this; it's time!"

Take care of your health and prepare to have a baby!

The very next day, Da Chun came to deliver the good news: "My wife is pregnant!"

Guo Xiaozhen just had a check-up at the hospital and found out she's pregnant!
Summer: You're pretty fast!
The next day, everyone gathered, and Xia Tian invited Deng Jie over to share the good news.

Xiao Guo played Shi Xiangyun in "Dream of the Red Chamber". They had a very good relationship and had been friends for ten years.

Xiao Xu and Zhang Li pulled the fuming Xiao Guo down to sit: "Why are you angry? You're pregnant!"

Then I heard Xiao Guo say, "I told Da Chun'er that we'll have to have one more person lying in the bed from now on... Da Chun'er said, 'Who? The postpartum nanny?!'"

"Pfft~" Xiao Xu, Zhang Li and Deng Jie burst out laughing.

Deng Jie felt a little better and was happy for Xiao Guo, but she felt regretful when she thought about herself.

Then she looked at Milan, who had heard Xia Tian talk about trying to conceive.

I can't have children of my own, but I can raise existing ones.
Over there, Da Chun was still bluffing with Xia Tian: "...I also tried to learn Japanese by watching Japanese videos, but I found it didn't work. It's just the same few phrases over and over again, I couldn't learn anything real!"

Xia Tian exclaimed, "You're not watching any proper Japanese films, are you?"

Da Chun looked puzzled: "That can't be! These are all videotapes I smuggled from you!"

Summer: Damn it! No wonder the videotapes of my daily life that I brought back from Hong Kong kept getting lost!
……

On February 1, Unit 2 of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong Province officially commenced commercial operation.

Shougang's steel production increased from 179 million tons in 78 to 824 million tons, ranking first in the country.

Moreover, Shougang offers excellent benefits; refrigerators and color TVs can be purchased at the Shougang Shopping Center.

The shopping center also offers lamb slices, pork, and fish, available during holidays and festivals.

The bus conductor can tell a person is from Shougang Group just by looking at what they're carrying; there's no need to check monthly passes.

A new commercial is airing on TV—good teeth, good appetite, great health, and delicious food—toothpaste: Blue Sky Six-Cure!
Crosstalk performer Li Jiacun had been performing crosstalk for twenty years without gaining any fame, but became an overnight sensation after doing this advertisement.

Oh, this ad was also done by Xiaoxu's Xiaotian Advertising, and it's quite successful!
