Start with hooves

Chapter 205 First broadcast
Beverly Hills.

"The Walking Dead" star, Ashton Kutcher's private bar and club, opened as usual on Christmas Eve.

He started advertising last week, saying that a new film will be shown in the club today.

To celebrate.

The girls buy wine at half price, and also draw a lottery to present two photogenic extras, which serve as opportunities for zombie rations.

Ashton had already gotten through with Suri before, this trivial matter is irrelevant, and of course he would not be rejected.

Before the broadcast started, Ashton raised his glass and said:
"Hey! Let's play a game. Every time the hero says something about zombies, everyone will have a big sip of wine, how about it?"

"good idea!"

"It's supposed to be scary, right? It's good to drink some wine to calm down the shock."

The crowd was chattering.

In addition, the blond girl smiled and said:

"Then everyone, be prepared first. If I were at home alone, I might not dare to watch this drama. I suggest holding such a screening every week. If you don't like watching it, you can go to the terrace for a drink. It's not good for business. no effect."

Some customers joked: "I have to see how it goes, if I'm not interested, it can only be regarded as a drinking order."

Ashton replied:

"Fuck off, the theme that Su Rui conceived, I acted in it myself, and there is a big beauty like Daddario, I swear it will be a hit!"

"I often praise my daughter as the most beautiful little princess in the world, but I know in my heart that she looks like me, and it will be over in the future."

A well-known potbellied football coach finished, and the room roared with laughter.

Everyone came out to drink and have fun, and the chat atmosphere was more casual.

Ashton's club has a high bar, unless it is a well-known familiar face, or it needs to be invited by three members to join.

but.

For beautiful girls with super good looks, the security guards at the gate will generally not stop them.

The movie starts shortly.

I saw Ashton wearing a police uniform, among a pile of broken cars, looking for gasoline one by one.

The gas station not far away has been deserted, and there are faint corpses in the car. The camera just swept it away, quickly leaving the impression of a disaster.

Ashton was unshaven, with a serious expression and a look of indifference.

The people in the bar immediately started applauding, making Ashton shut his mouth from ear to ear, reminding everyone not to be scared to pee their pants.

Through the window of the car, I could see a little girl in pink walking forward with a rabbit doll.

The protagonist hurriedly ran to stop her, but there was no movement after shouting several times.

When the protagonist played by Ashton caught up and put his hand on the little girl's shoulder, the other party slowly turned his head.

One side of the cheek is quite normal, but the other side already looks like a terrifying zombie, with dead silence in his eyes, and he opened his mouth trying to bite the protagonist's hand.

The guests at the scene were stunned. Some covered their eyes, some trembled all over, and the sound of wine glasses falling to the ground scared the surrounding people half to death.

In just two or three minutes, people's hearts were raised in their throats in an instant, and then the opening title was played, introducing information about the director, screenwriter, and actors.

Wait until playback continues.

The scene has shifted to the hospital, where the hero played by Ashton is lying on the hospital bed, spinning around and slowly waking up.

Finally came to the corridor, but found a mess, no one was everywhere, and there were bloodstains on the walls and floors.

After the preceding stimulus.

Many people in the bar have already prepared in advance, for fear that something will suddenly appear on the screen.

When the iron chain moved, there was a door being chained on the screen, and the light and shadow swayed in the gap.

When the protagonist stepped forward to check, he could see the withered hands, which scared him to fall...

Ashton, like Suri, had seen the episode ahead of time.

At this moment, I am calm and relaxed, drinking 35-year-old Chivas Regal whiskey. If I want to ask if the film is good, as the leading actor, I have a say. At least the script and theme of "The Walking Dead" are quite good.

In many cases, before an actor accepts a role, he knows that he is acting in a bad movie, but for the sake of bad money, many people will still rush to take it.

Because he felt that the start was particularly good, Ashton said that it must be popular.

The current problem is that the Netflix entertainment platform has limited users and cannot cover hundreds of millions of people like traditional TV stations, so it is still difficult to draw conclusions about the specific situation...

----------

Lanai.

Su Rui is still on the yacht. Through the program developed by the programmer, the data such as the number of clicks and the retention rate of users by time period are refreshed from time to time.

The Netflix entertainment platform itself does not push advertisements, and the main way to make money is to place advertisements and pay members to subscribe. Today's first episode is completely free, and it is difficult to attract users to recharge, so there is no need to care about revenue data.

As a director, Su Rui is very confident in the whole show. At this moment, he just hopes that the competitors will not stab the knife and find someone to directly attack the broadcasting platform itself.

Not only that, but I also hope that the development team will fight for it, and don't spend money to make rubbish.

If the website crashes just after launching a self-produced drama, you don’t need to guess. A group of media giants will never miss the opportunity to make trouble. Netflix Entertainment will immediately become a laughing stock, and its valuation will drop sharply, which will directly affect the audience’s confidence in it. .

Even Su Rui was a little nervous at the moment, feeling that every second that passed was one step closer to a successful premiere.

He got up at this moment, stuffed the phone into his pocket, and said to himself: "Forget it, the more you watch it, the more nervous you become. There are only over 9 hits in ten minutes. Isn't it going to be cold?"

Christmas Eve.

There are many activities on the island.

The restaurant holds a grand outdoor buffet, and the entrance fee is only 59 US dollars. You can eat steak and lobster as you like.

There is also a bonfire party near the market, where a large pile of firewood is piled up, and a native Hawaiian performance team is invited to enliven the atmosphere.

The weather has been relatively dry recently. In order to avoid burning down his island, Suri asked the cowboy to clear a large area in advance.

The only fire engine on the island is an old antique produced in the 70s, so it is impossible to count on it.

The excitement belongs to others, and it is difficult for Suri to be as happy as the tourists tonight.

When he drove back to the hotel and was about to take the big oranges to eat at the buffet, he was surprised to find that there were crowds of people by the swimming pool outside, and there were bursts of exclamations.

Watch for a while.

Su Rui asked the doorman, "Which star or rich businessman is here?"

The doorman in his 20s also craned his neck to look out at this moment. He couldn't leave because of work. He had lost his sense of novelty to Su Rui, so he replied calmly:

"It's Nicolas Cage and his wife, who made a temporary appointment to come on vacation, and Manager Kona is helping him arrange a room."

Seeing the actor so often in Hollywood, Suri couldn't take any interest at all.

Go upstairs to the room.

Just as he picked up Daju, the phone in his pocket rang, and a string of unfamiliar numbers was displayed on the screen.

After Su Rui connected, he tentatively asked, "Hello?"

A woman's voice came from the other party and said to him:
"It's me, Kim Kardashian, who sent you a Facebook post just now, recommending the show "The Walking Dead". It's an even match, right?"

"...thank you so much, it's been a great help for my company."

Kim Kardashian asked Suri just after his polite remarks:

"I don't know if it's convenient for you. I just finished dinner with my family. I want to go to Lanai Island for vacation this holiday."

"Are you coming by yourself, or with your family?"

"No problem, they have other places they want to go."

"..."

Just thinking about whether this is a thousand miles away.

Su Rui was quite entangled in his heart, couldn't help swallowing, and said again:

"There are a lot of tourists on the island now, but I can lend you my suite. If you don't care much about privacy, the attractions are still great."

"So... I'll go alone?"
