Chapter 147:
In this world, there was also a movie that could make a profit before it was even fild.
It was a movie about a minority group in the Baylor Federation changing their racial status through hard work and achieving happiness. In this movie, each mber of that minority group displayed remarkable diligence, resilience, and a fearless attitude towards life's challenges. Ultimately, under the leadership of the protagonist, this group earned widespread acclaim and validation from society.
However, this kind of movie itself didn't have replicability. It was able to make money before the production even started, largely due to the majority of minority actors volunteering their ti and the substantial contributions from minority capitalists who donated and sponsored the project.
Of course, these minority mbers were only a very small part of the whole society. The ones who truly controled this country were still Baylorians.
But it was still understandable as to why so minority mbers had money. Being able to afford a ticket from all over the world to the Baylor Federation when the mode of transportation in this world was not yet well-developed was sothing that ordinary families could not afford. Not to ntion, those people not only brought their families but also their servants here.
As for the poor mbers of the minority in the movie, it may just be a narrative device; what they lacked was not money but political power.
The Baylor Federation actually appreciated the contributions of these people. It was precisely because of them that the Federation's economic developnt had been so rapid in recent years.
Yet, the movie Fox Junior aid to produce didn't delve into religious or racial thes. So, how could he begin generating revenue before even comncing filming?
"It's actually quite simple..." Lynch was feeling great. He had just shared a drink with the mayor over dinner and was now enjoying another here. Plus, his rapport with Mr. Fox and his son was excellent, leaving him feeling quite at ease.
Wine was a magical thing. It was magical to the point that no matter how nervous a person was, as soon as they took a sip, they would beco incredibly relaxed, including prisoners who were about to be executed.
Given a drink before their execution, they would even jest with the guards, quipping, "Just zap
quick with the electricity. I'll be lying in the coffin for the morial service. Wouldn't want the whole church slling like a barbecue. They're not there for a buffet, you know."
Lynch sat back on the sofa, holding his wine glass. "Let's talk about the first way to make money..." He looked at Fox Junior. "After watching a decent adult-level movie in the cinema, would you want to see more content related to the female lead?"
The general content of the movie Fox Junior wanted to shoot was about a scantily clad female lead, tomato sauce, and aliens, a lively plot, at least according to Jas.
Mr. Fox's lips curled slightly, whereas Fox Junior nodded a bit embarrassedly. However, it was normal for one to fantasize about the female lead or female stars in a movie.
As Lynch took another sip of wine, the alcohol heightened his mood slightly. "If you were to hear that the female lead of this movie will shoot so straightforward, adult-thed scenes shortly after, would you be interested?"
Both Mr. Fox and his son were taken aback for a mont, and then they both nodded. Mr. Fox even asked, "Will we be shooting it ourselves?"
Lynch was also amused. "What? You want to play a role in it?"
Face instantly turning red, Mr. Fox quickly shook his head repeatedly. "No, no. I'm just curious. I don't know if we would make this type of movie."
Lynch shook his head. "Of course, we won't be filming it ourselves. We'll be hosting an audition, selecting a beautiful girl with a good figure, and then signing multiple contracts with her, including the contract for the first movie and subsequent ones..." He shrugged. "You know the drill."
"Then sell this contract to the largest adult movie producer in the federation. The hype surrounding this will bring us stable inco and exposure."
"Those adult movie enthusiasts who don't really watch mainstream movies will specifically pay attention to our movies and get a sneak peek at who the leading actress in the next series by their revered movie studio would be."
"At the sa ti, for the movie producers, even the audience who wouldn't typically be interested in their movies, but are drawn by the leading actress, would also purchase their products."
"Of course, this is just the first step..."
There were too many ways to make money, from the television broadcast rights of auditions to sponsorship, advertising, and so self-funded performances. That was why there were so many scamrs in this industry.
Even if a script that was so bad it couldn't get any worse, as long as it was registered with the Directors' Union, so people would dare to take this bad script everywhere and scam investors out of their money, with a very high success rate.
The movie and television industries were rapidly gaining montum in recent years, fueled by the increasing popularity of television and more individuals opting to stay ho due to financial constraints. This shift had led to television programs consistently achieving record-high viewership ratings.
Many people had already realized the enormous risks in the financial market, but they were still trying to join this booming industry. However, most of them beca targets for scamrs.
Lynch discussed with Mr. Fox and his son for a while, deciding to spend about a month or two to hold auditions in the state and select a suitable female lead—actually, this female lead would only be available to a few people, as most ordinary girls would not agree to shoot so adult movies, even if they were just "adult-rated" rather than "adult" movies.
But so girls who had already entered this industry did not mind. According to so tabloid reports, at least thousands of girls of all kinds would enter the adult movie industry every year in recent years.
Many people believed those girls had different reasons, but ultimately, it all ca down to one thing: money.
The filming duration was short, the audience was niche, and the publicity was minimal. However, the pay was substantial. The adult movies in which many girls participated may never intersect with their social circles for their entire lives.
Even if they were really discovered, it sounded much better than being a streetwalker, although both professions were viewed the sa by ordinary people.
Among these girls, there would always be those who t the character requirents and were willing to expose themselves to so extent. Moreover, these girls and adult movie producers would typically only sign one project at a ti, without long-term contracts, so it was more convenient.
Lynch's articulate discussion of various thods astonished Mr. Fox and his son. Once again, they felt that their initial idea of bringing Lynch on board was perhaps the best decision they had made in recent years.
The following morning, knocks on the door roused Lynch from his slumber. It took him a mont to rember that he hadn't slept in his own ho the previous night, but rather at the Foxes' villa.
He gradually recalled that he had stayed up late chatting with Mr. Fox and his son, so he didn't return ho and remained here instead.
Not long after, he appeared in the dining room, just in ti for breakfast.
There were so simple but exquisite dishes on the white table, which instantly lifted his mood.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Mr. Fox asked out of courtesy. Normally, people would say "That was a fantastic bed" or "It was a nice experience." It was also a courtesy.
But Lynch shook his head as he sat down. "To be honest, not really. I'm not used to spring beds, and the mattress on that spring bed is softer than any I've ever seen."
Mr. Fox's face suddenly took on a more curious and inquisitive expression. "Forgive
for being intrusive, my friend Lynch, have you ever been to jail or been incarcerated?"
"No." Lynch replied firmly, without even a mont of delay, "Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, only long-term prisoners would like harder beds. You may not know, but currently, only prisons still have so really hard beds."
When spring mattresses first appeared, they were indeed considered a luxury item affordable only to the wealthy. However, their construction was not actually complex at all. Soon, so people bypassed patented technology to produce inexpensive products. Subsequently, the developers of the first-generation spring mattresses simply closed their factories and focused solely on licensing.
This also led to the popularity of spring beds in almost the entire society. So advertisents were particularly enticing, such as "Enjoy a five million bucks nightlife for just fifty bucks
