Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System-Chapter 293 - : The Young Master’s Psychiatric Hospital is Somewhat Desolate

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: The Young Master’s Psychiatric Hospital is Somewhat Desolate

“The first movie is free to watch!”

After listening to Fang Jueyu’s words, not only were the journalists, but even the actors on stage and Wang Cong were dumbfounded.

The actors had already received their advance payments from Fang Jueyu, so how much money he could earn from this movie wasn’t of much concern to them.

As for Wang Cong, although Fang Jueyu had originally promised to give him all the box office earnings from this movie, truth be told, Wang Cong’s investment in this film wasn’t much, not even several hundred million.

Not to mention, last time Fang Jueyu had given him tens of billions of US Dollars for that Gucang Sword Sect, so even without box office dividends, Wang Cong had no complaints.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

They just couldn’t understand why Fang Jueyu would do this?

Not even considering the costs of filming locations and actor salaries, just talking about box office revenue alone, tens of billions were absolutely no issue; even with wealth, there was no need to play like this, right?

“66666!”

This press conference was being broadcast live online, and the screen was completely flooded with “66666” and “amazing” comments.

Perhaps 40 billion US Dollars was nothing to Fang Jueyu because during the filming process, this sum had already been earned back by his businesses spread across the world, but to ordinary people, it was an astronomical figure.

As for movies being free to watch, this struck a chord directly, astonishing all the audience members.

Because such high-end VR movies had not yet been released in any country, not to mention the processing costs of the film, just the funds that Fang Jueyu invested in converting cinemas were already terrifying.

Fang Jueyu’s nationwide cinema conversion plan wasn’t a secret; according to calculations, this part of the investment had already approached 100 billion yuan.

With such high costs, could a movie ticket not be expensive? Based on the current average level, the cheapest ticket for a 3D movie costs thirty to forty; doubling this for such a novel movie isn’t too much, right? Considering this IP, the trailer effects, and the equipment, 100 per ticket wouldn’t be excessive!

But Fang Jueyu actually chose to offer it for free; did he not know that he was always losing money?

“I believe everyone is cursing me now, thinking I’ve been pouring money down the drain,” Fang Jueyu said with a self-deprecating smile, “but I’ve got quite the temper. When someone crosses me, I retaliate without exception, so even if it means the worst losses, I’ll face Hollywood head-on.”

“I just want to know, who will outlast whom?” Fang Jueyu made a fierce remark.

“Man, just for the dean’s temperament, I’ll watch it again!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Count me in for another viewing!”

“Can someone explain, how did the dean get into a feud with Hollywood?”

“I know this one, the dean initially had the special effects done by a Hollywood team. They made excuses to retract the team for a new project, then threw shade!”

“Damn, that’s shameless. Dean, you’ve got my support, I’ll never watch their films again!”

“Poor Hollywood, with the dean targeting them, they’re doomed. Comparing wealth with the dean is a death wish!”

…

“Right, let’s introduce someone else!” Fang Jueyu smiled joyfully, having devised a series of intense blows against Hollywood.

The spotlight suddenly shifted to another side of the stage where a blond beauty in a black dress stepped out.

“Holy crap! What did I just see? That’s Scarlett! The dean got Scarlett to come to Huaxia!”

“6666, I’m impressed. Just like that, a key character was poached; Marvel’s bound to collapse halfway!”

…

“Starting today, Miss Scarlett has signed a cooperation contract with our Super God Unlimited Company!”

“Impossible!” This broadcast attracted not only Huaxia’s media but even foreign media since Scarlett had supposedly just signed a five-year contract with Hollywood, and the breach penalty was astronomical.

“Nothin’ impossible about it, just 200 million US Dollars in breach penalties. I skip buying a jet and it’s saved.” Fang Jueyu said dismissively.

He had saved Scarlett once and offered her an irresistible deal; emotion and reason gave Scarlett no reason to refuse.

“No wonder I didn’t see Scarlett’s role in the new film’s cast; the dean poached her over here!”

“Don’t you think when the dean speaks, two hundred million sounds like two dollars?”

“It’s over, Hollywood’s done for. Why doesn’t the dean buy all the others over too?”

“Hahaha, you don’t know the dean’s devious nature, huh? If he bought them all, how would they make films? Without their movies out, how’s the dean gonna humiliate them?”

“Makes sense, you’re truly grasping the dean’s essence!”

…

“Mr. Brella, something’s wrong!” An assistant burst into Brella’s office, out of breath.

To investors, keeping an eye on major global events is crucial. The world’s richest man was preparing to crush Hollywood, a sure ominous sign for those investors.

Since halfway through the live broadcast, a massive withdrawal of investors ensued, causing the company’s stock to plummet.

“Ignore him; continue our filming. I refuse to believe our vast fanbase in Huaxia won’t support us!” Brella’s face was gloomy.

After not hearing from An Ke and others for a while, he felt uneasy. Now seeing Fang Jueyu alive and well on TV, An Ke and the others were likely in trouble.

“Damn those Huaxians!” Brella crushed the cup in his hand in anger.

“Oh, and!” Fang Jueyu suddenly seemed to remember something, “Let me announce another thing: since last month, our Super God Unlimited Company has partnered with major gaming companies like World of Warcraft and Tomb Raider, starting next year, sequels will begin filming at our new movie base. We hope everyone supports us!”

With this announcement, another uproar ensued; this was snatching Hollywood’s business. If they couldn’t get film orders, what could they live on?

Actually, once that promo came out, the companies started reaching out to Fang Jueyu. Although Hollywood’s effects were decent, compared to the promo, they were utter garbage!

The principle of merchants is profit-driven; they don’t care who handles the movie IP. They only care about the work’s profitability!

But this was already a signal, the global movie industry was gradually shifting towards Huaxia. In a few years, the whole Hollywood production chain might uproot and replant in Huaxia’s vast lands, dealing a massive blow to Brella’s business plan.

But who could’ve foreseen that the core of all this was merely the result of special effects and VR technology!

…

“What! They’re moving the industry to Huaxia?” Brella heard the news, his head was spinning; it had taken him years to gain control here, but a Huaxian was about to seize everything effortlessly!

“Mr. Brella…” Another assistant rushed over, “Just now, Marvel’s representative said that after finishing this movie, they’ll end their collaboration with us. They’ve already begun negotiations with Huaxia’s Super God Unlimited Company.”

“It’s over, completely over.” Brella slumped in his chair; he didn’t need to wait for box office battles for two films, they had lost before even facing off!

“Mr. Brella, my young master has a message for you!” A voice suddenly sounded in Brella’s ear.

“Who? Who’s there?” Brella looked around, but apart from his assistant, he saw no one.

“Who… who are you?” Brella, a brain-enhanced superpower user, couldn’t sense any presence.

But the voice did not answer, only saying, “The young master said, recently it’s a bit quiet at Dawn Mental Hospital, we could use a few more members, and you’d be perfect!”

“Bang!” Brella collapsed in his chair, his eyes vacant…
