Chapter 261 256 I Am a Scumbag, but a Rich Scumbag!

Chapter 257 256. I am a scumbag, but a rich scumbag!

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed and it is mid-April.

Lionheart.com continues to live up to expectations and is still making great strides after achieving good results on the first day.

Currently, the number of registered members has reached 24.3 million. In addition to the surge of 14.5 million on the first day of launch, an average of 800,000 new members were added every day, which is a very explosive result.

The achievement is naturally due to the great contributions of "The Voice" and "House of Cards".

According to the internal monitoring data of Lionheart.com, 53% of the new users every day will choose to watch these two works as soon as possible.

This shows how strong the driving force and attraction of a hit drama is!

Before the time travel, Netflix was able to rise because of "House of Cards". Just one drama brought Netflix more than 10 million paying members.

Of course, we cannot ignore the contributions of other TV series. No matter how attractive "The Voice" and "House of Cards" are, most people will only watch them twice at most, or they will recall a wonderful episode and then review one of them.

Two days is enough for Dashuazi to finish watching the two works, and then it depends on the depth of the website to retain people.

This time, MGM has almost caught all the excellent overseas dramas and obtained at least five years of exclusive online broadcasting rights.

It depends on the information gap. Others don't understand what the exclusive online broadcasting rights are. After knowing his ideas, most people think that they have made money.

In their opinion, Lionheart Network will definitely not survive, and it still has five years of exclusive online broadcasting rights? I admire you if you can survive for one year!

So the price of obtaining these copyrights is very low. In short, both parties think they have made money.

Among them, the film and television area occupies the majority. The number of views of popular movies such as "Transformers", "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", and "Shrek the Monsters" has reached the million level.

The most is more than five million, and the least is more than three million.

Weaker IPs such as Final Destination, Nightmare on Elm Street, and 007 have also contributed hundreds of thousands or millions of views.

Following closely behind the film and television area is the Japanese comics area. Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, Bleach, Naruto, Detective Conan, etc. have gained a lot of fans, which shows the strength of Japanese comics in the US market.

Then there are British dramas and other genres. When the data stabilizes, those low-cost-effective TV dramas with poor views should be discarded.

Just like Chinese dramas, a number of fine works such as The Golden Age, The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and The Reign of Kangxi have also been introduced.

Under the banner of cultural exchange and cultural output, Lao Han casually bought a batch of them at a lower price than cabbage.

But after half a month of observation, the playback data is dismal, and the reason has been given in the comment area.

Most of them complain that they are too long. At a glance, at least thirty episodes, and as many as sixty or seventy episodes, the interest of the audience who are used to American dramas has been extinguished before they even start watching.

You should know that although the sitcoms in the US are longer in one season, one episode is only 20 minutes, which is actually only equivalent to 12 or 13 episodes of a normal story drama.

They can watch British dramas and some Japanese dramas because they are more concise and fast-paced, and some Japanese dramas are not long.

But Chinese and Korean dramas need some time to attract the audience's interest.

Eric suggested that Lao Han make some cuts in advance, preferably within 20 episodes, or divide them into several parts.

For example, a 46-episode "Kangxi Dynasty" can be divided into several clips and named as the first season, second season, and third season.

Although it was just a change of vest, it immediately gave American audiences a familiar feeling, and the acceptance would increase a lot.

I just don't know what happened there, anyway, his suggestion was not adopted.

"Supernatural" also has a good reputation, with an imdb score of 8.4 points, which is considered high quality, but the number of people who rated it is an order of magnitude less than "House of Cards".

Moreover, compared with the popularity of "House of Cards" among all age groups, the data of "Supernatural" shows that teenagers account for more than 77%, which is definitely a drama for young people.

Comments also focused on discussing the simplicity of the crew and the brotherhood.

"This drama is so poor!"

"Supernatural tells you how to shoot a poor TV series?"

"The episode with the little girl in the painting made me shudder. The plot was completely unexpected and too scary!"

"Isn't this a supernatural special? Why can the crew have money to hire two handsome guys but no money to do some special effects?"

"Supernatural" once again proves one thing, that is, how important the personal charm of the leading actor is to a good drama!"

"MGM is not short of money, the costumes and props of "House of Cards" look ridiculously expensive, why is it so simple in "Supernatural", what on earth Are they from the same mother? Why are they treated so differently? "

"I feel like MGM deliberately made the show in this style, highlighting the protagonist's personal charm rather than big scenes and scary scenes."

"Who plays the heroine? She is so beautiful, especially the white veil look, which really touched my heart, Crystal, Crystal Liu?"

"Crystal Liu is very good, her action scenes are really beautiful, better than Sam and Dean, I seem to see the shadow of Lucy Liu (Liu Yuling) and Michelle Yeoh (Michelle Yeoh) in her, and she is also very beautiful."

"I also think Crystal Liu is beautiful, but the cowboy outfit is more comfortable and looks more like a ghost hunter. Is she Japanese? Korean? Filipino?"

"Do you have vision problems? Crystal Liu's nationality is written on the cast list. She is American, a Chinese American."

"I seem to have fallen in love with Crystal Liu. Does she have other works? Does anyone know what TV series she has acted in?"

"The above, Lionheart.com has a Chinese TV series starring her. Crystal Liu wears ancient Chinese costumes in it. You will definitely be fascinated by her. Gal Gadot's new movie "The Hunger Games" also has her. Wait for it to be released."

The most acclaimed characters in "Supernatural" are naturally the two brothers of the Wen family, but Liu Yifei is also very discussed.

In particular, she makes up for the action scenes that the Wen family does not have. She holds a whip and a crossbow as weapons, and her appearance is quite cool.

Liu Yifei's presence makes the plot more exciting and beautiful, and has received a lot of praise.

Moreover, in the discussion about her, beautiful is an inseparable word, which shows that Europeans and Americans also know what good-looking Chinese people look like.

The squinty eyes are definitely prejudice and ugliness. Capital is deliberately disgusting Chinese audiences to show its superiority.

Among the four self-made dramas of MGM, only Peppa Pig has not yet gained popularity, but Eric firmly believes that it will be popular all over the world like Shark Dance.

According to Eric's requirements, Double Star Entertainment has produced a large number of Peppa Pig peripherals in advance. The sales of this piglet's peripherals are better than those of adult dramas.

After beating up a number of opponents, The Passion of the Christ finally gave up the box office champion position, and the relay was Shark Tale, which was urgently advanced by DreamWorks.

At present, the North American box office of The Passion of the Christ has reached 290 million US dollars.

It also caused an uproar overseas, but the box office was all red like North America, earning 191 million US dollars.

With a global box office of $481 million, it officially dethroned The Hangover, which grossed $460 million, and took the title of the 2004 global box office champion.

And the box office is still strong, and BOX predicts that it will exceed $650 million.

Suddenly, MGM took the first and second place in the annual list, and for a time it was the best of the bunch.

But although The Passion of the Christ grossed more than The Hangover, the share that MGM could get in the end was far less than that of The Hangover. After all, the movie was fully funded by Mel Gibson's company, and MGM could only make money from the distribution.

In terms of society, after more than a month of disputes, the heat finally subsided, and the demonstrations in major cities died down, and the discussion was much lower.

The PK between Judaism and Protestantism did not determine the winner. They were two deeply rooted camps, and after thousands of years of fighting, no one could completely eliminate the other.

However, the ban on Mel Gibson still exists. Now everyone's attention is focused on MGM, Big Six and major TV stations, looking forward to the outcome of this battle.

"Bang!" Neeko threw a card and pointed it at Eric.

"Missed!" Eric drew a card from his hand and played it.

"Want to hit me? It's not that easy!"

Neeko looked at Theron: "Theron, hit him quickly, he only has one card left, it's definitely not beer."

Theron smiled, then drew a card and pointed it at Neeko: "Bang!"

Neeko was confused: "Why shoot me? You are wrong, we are all gangsters, Eric is our target!"

Neeko comforted: "But you only have one drop of blood left. If you are killed by someone else, the other party will draw three cards. It's better to draw three cards for me, so that I can be more confident to kill Eric!"

Her explanation made sense. Neeko thought about it and didn't play the missed card in her hand.

Her character was successfully killed and offline, and Theron picked up three cards from the deck.

Then she laughed wildly: "Hahahaha. I got the volcanic pistol. Equipped with the volcanic pistol, you all have to die! No one wants to live!"

"bang!"

"bang!"

"bang!"

Seeing that Theron played cards continuously, he quickly killed Neil, Bell, and Ken Watanabe, and turned his attention to Eric.

"Two drops of blood and one card, you are finished! Bang!"

Eric deducted a drop of blood: "Wait, Theron, let me take a turn, how about I give you ten minutes of extra scenes?"

"Are you bribing your opponent?"

"Yes, a blatant bribe, accept it, ma'am." Eric said shamelessly.

"But if you give me more scenes, will the length of the movie exceed too much?"

"This is the director's business. At most, Watanabe's scenes can be cut by ten minutes."

"What!"

Ken Watanabe's face changed drastically. His scenes were not many to begin with, and a large part of them was still half-dead. If ten minutes were cut, there would be nothing left!

Theron squinted his eyes and pretended to think, then suddenly sneered: "I don't believe you, bang!"

"Ah!"

Eric screamed and fell backwards, just pressing on Nicole who was squatting behind him and secretly looking at the cards. The two were forced to roll together and almost kissed.

"Hahahaha. I won! I won! I'm the first one. Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Theron, who was originally shouting victory, suddenly became like a duck with its neck pinched, and it was difficult to make a sound.

The two hurriedly separated, and Nicole pretended to look at her speechlessly, and brought the topic back to the game: "I was fooled by you, I thought you were a gangster."

"Yes, I also thought that Charlize Theron was a gangster, but I didn't expect that she was a traitor!" Neil also spoke very perceptively.

Bell and Ken Watanabe slowly stood up and backed away, probably because they noticed that the atmosphere was a bit solemn and weird, and they didn't want to get involved.

Fortunately, Charlize Theron didn't care too much, raised her eyebrows and boasted: "The new Oscar winner, her acting skills are not covered! Right, old actress!"

Nico's mouth twitched. She naturally liked the title of actress, but adding the word "old" made her feel uncomfortable.

However, considering her and Eric's behavior just now, she didn't dare to argue.

"Bring some drinks and fruits, we've finished eating."

Eric shouted, and the staff hurriedly sent supplies. Everyone laughed, as if no one took it to heart, and started chatting while eating again.

That's right, during the break on the set, a group of big-name stars and wealthy people were playing the board game that Eric brought. The name of the board game was "bang".

Or change it to a name that China is more familiar with - "Three Kingdoms Kill"!

It was the Three Kingdoms Kill that was affectionately called dog cards and dog planning by players, claiming that our game is thriving and was pushed to the top of the bad review list when it was launched on Steam.

Among them, bang corresponds to kill, missed corresponds to flash, the gangster is equivalent to the rebel, the traitor is equivalent to the traitor, and the volcano pistol is Zhuge Liannu. Kill the gangster and draw three cards. The traitor can win when he kills the last person.

There is no doubt that "Three Kingdoms Kill" is a complete plagiarism of "bang", from rules to identity, from identity to characters, from characters to skills, from skills to equipment, from equipment to various trick cards. Probably, the only thing left in "Three Kingdoms Kill" is the Three Kingdoms background that China owns.

Eric wanted to make money by making this board game, but when he checked, he found that it already existed on the market. It was created by Italians in 2002, so he had to give up.

Since the purpose of making money could not be achieved, he thought that it would be good to use it for entertainment.

He had been looking for a way to make the girls accept each other, so he simply brought them to the set to play, hoping to improve the friendship between Nicole and Charlize Theron.

The result was not bad, and everyone was really happy playing, except for the last scene that just happened.

"The effect of the board game looks very good, and you can try to promote it."

"If the board game doesn't work, then poker, and if poker doesn't work, then there is mahjong. It would be great if mahjong could conquer them."

"Will there be a happy scene in Dabieye in the future?"

"Charlize Theron, Nicole, Liu Xiaoli, and Zhou Wenqiong play at one table, and Ashley, Mary, Liu Yifei, and Elizabeth play at another table."

"No, wouldn't it be three against one for the Olsens? We should also bring in that bitch Elena, and the Olsens can open a separate table."

"Liu Yifei alone can't do it, and if we count Gadot, at least another Let's find two partners for her."

"Carol is a good lady, and her pair of explosive drums are really amazing."

"Taylor Swift seems to be okay, but no, she is too stubborn and always likes to write about her ex-boyfriends in her songs. She is restless."

"Paris Hilton is always seducing me, but she has a bad temper too."

"Lenny is beautiful and virtuous, and her submissive personality is good. I also helped her to bring down Justin. She should thank me, but isn't this equivalent to jumping from one scumbag pit to another scumbag pit?"

"I am indeed a scumbag, but I have money!"
