Hill chose this method in the promotion of "The Daughter of the Sea" out of his own considerations. If he only described how poignant the story is, it would overlap with the promotion of the previous operas, and many people also expressed their opinion about the movie. I don't know much about this brand new artistic method, and I guess I won't be particularly interested in it.
Of course, Hill can directly slap Princess Siren on the poster, which is attractive enough, but the problem is that this is too blatant. Although the Church of Light is not strong in the Magnolia Empire, he still has to hide it. Take it easy, right
So at this time, we can only play the follow-up effect of the upper class.
As the duke's daughter, Olivia Jefferson is undoubtedly the object of many people's attention. Her... uh... her behavior of being kicked out of the house is bound to arouse the curiosity of many people. In addition, the tickets for the movie are not particularly expensive, and the middle class can afford it. Out of curiosity, I will definitely go to see it.
And Qili, who missed the opportunity because of hesitation, regretted a little, but she didn't reach the point of regretting to death. After all, this was cooperation with the demons, and she still wanted to wait and see.
As a result of waiting and watching... she regretted it more and more.
Every day, the Baker Theater is full of moviegoers.
Every day, some ladies, ladies and gentlemen leave the theater in tears.
From Qi Li's point of view, Joan Baker made a lot of money.
But in fact it is not the case.
Hill deliberately didn't let the death knight talk to Joan Baker about the share at the beginning. He told the death knight that the specific share method will be discussed in a week. Hill's idea is very simple. If he mentioned that the demons will take the lead at the beginning, Joan Baker will definitely agree. Although he knows the value of the movie, he probably can't predict how much money he will make. Therefore, we should wait until we earn more money before raising the share, and see how Joan Baker will behave in the face of huge profits.
If he can control his greed and not play tricks, it means that he can continue to cooperate with him.
If he did some unnecessary things and made some unnecessary requests... sorry, not only will the future cooperation opportunities be gone, but he will also lose more things.
Today's Hill cannot be said to be a bad person, because he is not even human anymore.
Hill actually hopes that Joan Baker can hold it, because it is not easy to find a suitable partner.
He did not expect that when Joan Baker was negotiating with Goldnia in a week, he actually said: "This time I will not participate in the share, and I will also bear the cost of playing the movie."
This made Gordenia stunned for a moment, but he is a death knight with facial paralysis after all, so Joan Baker, who is good at observing people, did not see his expression from the death knight's facial paralysis face, and then Gordenia Ya Shen asked, "Then what do you want?"
"I want all the movies to be played in my theater in the future, and the future share can be discussed separately." Joan Baker said.
Goldnia thought for a while, and finally said: "I can't decide this, I need to ask for instructions."
"Okay." Joan Baker raised his hand and said, "But before that, Viscount Leicester sent a human pastry, do you want to taste it?"
Gordenia originally planned to leave immediately, but when he heard that it was human food, he hesitated for a few seconds and said coldly, "Yes."
…
Ten minutes later, he left with a blank expression on his face. At the same time, he thought in his heart that it was not as delicious as the one made by the Lord Demon King. Sure enough, human food is not delicious. The human food made by the Lord Demon King does not mean "human food". "Human food" is a concept, and it is essentially the food of the demons.
—The Demon King is worthy of being the Demon King today.
02.
Hill raised an eyebrow after hearing Goldnia's report to Joan Baker.
Interesting, this human being is really thoughtful.
Hill was worried that he was being clever, but he didn't expect Joan Baker to be clever. He was clever, and it was a cleverness that made Hill's heart skip a beat.
Are the Mozu short of money now? Short, very short.
Not only does the Nether itself require money, but some of the things Hill wants to do require a lot of money.
Hill heard from Goldonia that Joan Baker's theater income has exceeded 7,000 gold coins this week. This is a terrible figure. You know, human civilians generally work hard for a month Two husbands and wives can't earn three gold coins, and seven thousand gold coins is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
Of course, the movie cannot be seen by ordinary people at the beginning—because for Hill, the most important thing at the moment is to make money, and when the demand for money is not so sufficient in the future, he will expand his influence among ordinary people. But even so, many nobles felt that the ticket price was too low, only one gold coin.
As for the magic spar for compensation from the lower world, in simple terms, about nine gold coins can be exchanged for one magic spar, and there is often a premium.
Hill thought for a while, and decided to talk to Joan Baker in person. Of course, he could not reveal his identity as the devil.
In fact, this kind of thing should be handed over to his subordinates logically, but the demons are still blank about this aspect for the time being, and Hill is not at ease to hand it over to them, so he had to do it himself for the effect.
Before leaving, Hill thought about what Gordenia told him that human pastries were not delicious. He thought about it, took out his phone and started baking on Baidu.
Hmm... This title looks good, sharing baking for novices. Click in, the first cream pudding, ingredients: pure milk, whipped cream, caster sugar, egg yolk... Okay, there is no pure milk in the lower realm now, or squeeze some tauren... Forget it is a bit disgusting; then the whipped cream is now It hasn’t been invented yet; as for fine granulated sugar, there is sugar, but there is no such pure white sugar, so I have to improve the sugar making process by myself; egg yolk is no problem, speaking of it, Hill thinks that the common people in the lower realm can raise chickens out of poverty
Hill looked at a few of them one after another, and found that many modern baking ingredients did not exist in this era, but fortunately, he had a mobile phone in his hand, so he could find them with a little time, and he could invent and create them one by one. On the one hand, Hill feels that there is a long way to go, and on the other hand, he is very excited. He understands that if this is the case, then he will leave everyone else far behind in this field.
By the way, the mobile phone is always connected to the Internet, but it will run out of power. Hill has studied for a long time before he figured out how to charge it with magic power.
However, baking seems impossible at present, and the pastries made with limited raw materials are probably not very delicious. So Hill simply took some sausages that had just dried—he took this for Joan Baker, but this was not just a gift, but related to his next plan.
03.
Goldnia notified Joan Baker in advance that his superior would come, and when asked about Hill's name, Hill said casually: "Getler Grindelwald." He originally wanted to say Tom Riddle, Later, I felt that the first generation of the Dark Lord seemed to be more compelling, so I randomly made such a pseudonym.
Joan Baker naturally attaches great importance to Hill's arrival. Although he doesn't know who Hill is, he knows that Hill means money to him. In the world of businessmen, money is almost everything. He believes that businessmen who have failed have not fulfilled this law well.
He is a very thoughtful person, he pursues money first, but he will not do vicious things, he thinks that doing vicious things will harm himself to make more money, out of reason and long-term considerations, in order to make more money, So he has always been quite conscientious. Although this adherence is not due to morality.
When seeing Hill, Joan Baker was a little surprised by the stern face. The appearance and temperament of this "Mr. Grindelwald" were so outstanding, which surprised Joan Baker. But accidents are accidents, good-looking are good-looking, how to negotiate business or how to negotiate, Joan Baker is very clear about this aspect.
In his world, talking about money doesn't hurt feelings, but not talking about money hurts feelings. The money relationship is the purest relationship, and it is not pure when it involves emotions.
In a sense, his idea is also very reasonable.
Joan Baker's appearance also left a deep impression on Hill. There are many people with cold temperaments in the lower world, such as Gordonia, but their coldness is lifeless, inorganic coldness, different Yu Joan Baker's sternness, that kind of sternness is even full of vitality, accompanied by dark greed and human desires, is very vivid, and even makes Hill have the idea of plundering.
But the thought only crossed Hill's mind for a moment.
Hill stepped forward and greeted the other party according to the etiquette of Yulan City. Joan Baker raised his eyebrows and returned the etiquette. He did not hide his surprise. So Hill also took the initiative to explain: "Do as the Romans do, and after all, I want to make money from humans, so it's best to follow the human way."
Joan Baker breathed a sigh of relief. As a collaborator, what he was most afraid of was that the demons would come out of nowhere. It's not that Joan Baker is afraid of things, but he knows that only by adapting to changes in small aspects on the basis of common sense in large aspects can he make a lot of money and earn safely.
"Your intelligence has already left a deep impression on me." Joan Baker complimented: "Come in, Mr. Greenwald."
Hill handed the box in his hand to the butler at Joan Baker's door, and said, "This is the specialty sausage I brought. I would like to hear your opinion on it, Mr. Baker."
Joan Baker hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yes." And tried hard to restrain his overly tragic mood.
Hmm... He probably thought too much with this expression. But he may have heard of the dark cuisine of the demons, is he willing to eat dark cuisine in order to facilitate cooperation? How about I tell him about the spider legs and mouse eyes you ate just now after he finishes eating? … a little too disgusting, uh, disgusting myself. Hill thought.
The two went to the living room. According to Hill's request, Joan Baker's butler brought some bread to match the sausage brought from the lower world.
These sausages look pretty good, and Hill used magic insulation to insulate them, so they can be eaten directly. The surface of the sausage is oily, with a tempting scorched skin, and the smell of meat blows over the face, which makes the index finger move.
Joan Baker froze as she felt her sausage craving. What was going on? Is there a spell cast on this sausage? Otherwise, how could ordinary sausage make him feel so craving
At this moment, Hill made a "please" gesture.
Joan Baker took a slice with a fork and put it in her mouth.
...! ! !
After biting through the casing, the meat inside is quite tender, and the gravy overflows directly, and the skin is also very crisp, which can make the sound of chewing. Roasted to perfection, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, mixed with the taste of pepper and various spices, it explodes in the taste buds, making it delicious.
Joan Baker could hardly maintain his usual calm at that moment.
Then, he heard Hill say lightly: "We still have a lot of delicacies like this."
Joan Baker almost couldn't hold back his greedy desire for enjoyment. He reluctantly swallowed the sausage and said, "It seems that the rumors are wrong."
"Maybe." Hill did not answer directly, but said: "We not only have movies, but also food and other things you can't imagine... and we plan to exchange these things for gold coins."
Compared with food, this is what can really arouse Joan Baker's greed, and he didn't hide himself, he said: "What should I do, sir."
Hill continued: "Create a big shopping mall centered around the movie."
Yes, that's Hill's second move.
On the earth, a large shopping mall like Wanda, which integrates various consumptions such as movies, clothes, and food, is a very worthwhile reference for the other world.
Clothes designs on earth, methods of making skin care and cosmetics, jewelry designs, gourmet food, books, movies... He can make everything and put it in this large shopping mall. Then build such a large shopping mall in all the large cities of human beings. Hill has the Internet in his hands and is a devil, so he can completely create a mighty commercial invasion and cultural invasion.
This is not a cultural invasion of humans by the demons.
This is clearly Earth's cultural invasion of another world.
Hill thought to himself.
