An Inconspicuous Warning

In this world, there are also movies that have already recouped their costs before they even start filming.

It is a story about Minorities in the Bayer Federation who changed their racial status through hard work and achieved happiness. In this story, every Minorities is very hardworking, diligent, and fearless of hardship, facing the joys and sorrows of life head-on. In the end, the group led by the protagonist receives positive recognition from the people.

However, this kind of film is not replicable. It can recoup its costs before filming even begins. In addition to the fact that the main Minorities actors were willing to act for free, a large number of Minorities capitalists donated money to sponsor the film.

Of course, these Minorities are only a very small part of the whole society. The Bayer People are the ones who truly control the country.

However, it is easy to understand why Minorities are wealthy. When this mode of transportation was not yet well-developed, being able to afford a ticket to the Bayer Federation from all over the world was not something that ordinary families could afford, not to mention that they not only brought their families but also their servants.

As for the "poor ethnic minorities" in the film, it may just be a way of portraying them. What they lack is not money, but political power.

The Bayer Federation is grateful for the contributions of these people, as it was thanks to them that the Federal's economy developed so rapidly in recent years.

So how did Lin Qi's film, which doesn't touch on issues of religion or race, start making money before filming even began? "Actually, it's very simple..." Lin Qi was in a good mood. He had some drinks with the mayor at dinner, and some more here. Plus, he had a good relationship with the Fox family, so he was very relaxed.

Alcohol is a magical thing, so magical that even the most nervous person can become incredibly relaxed after just one sip, including prisoners about to be executed.

Before the execution, give them a drink, and they can even joke with the guards—"Just enough to kill them, after all, I'm going to be lying in a coffin for my memorial service, I don't want the whole church to smell like barbecue, they're not here for a barbecue party."

He leaned back on the sofa, holding a wine glass. "Let's start with the first way to make money..." He looked at Little Fox. "If you go to the cinema and watch a decent adult film, wouldn't you long to see more content related to the female lead?"

The movie's plot revolves around a scantily clad female lead, ketchup, aliens, and a lively storyline—at least according to James.

Mr. Fox's lips curled up slightly, and Little Fox nodded a little embarrassedly. It's perfectly normal to admire the female lead or actress of a movie.

Lin Qi took a sip of his drink, the alcohol making him even more excited. "If you heard soon that the actress who plays the lead in this movie is going to be filming some simple, straightforward adult films, would you be interested?"

The Fox father and son both paused for a moment, then nodded. Mr. Fox even asked, "Shall we film it ourselves?"

Lin Qi was also taken aback for a moment, "You want to play a role?"

Mr. Fox blushed and shook his head repeatedly, "No, I was just curious. I didn't know we would come here to film these things."

Lin Qi shook his head. "Of course we won't be the ones filming. We'll hold an audition to select a pretty girl with a good figure, and then sign multiple contracts with her, including her first film contract, and subsequent ones..." He shrugged. "You know that perfectly well."

"Then we'll sell this contract to the largest adult film producer in the Federal. Boosting this will bring us not only stable income but also increased exposure."

"Even adult film enthusiasts who don't usually watch Theater Chain releases will make a point of paying attention to our movies and going to the theater early to see who the next leading lady from their favorite studio will be."

"At the same time, for film distributors, those viewers who sit in the movie theater and have no interest in their films will buy their products because of the female lead."

"Of course, this is only the first step..."

There are so many ways to make money, from TV broadcasting rights for auditions to Naming Rights, advertising sponsorships, and some self-funded performances. That's why there are so many scammers in this industry.

Even if a script is so bad it can't get any worse, as long as it's registered with the Director Guild, they dare to use it to scam investors and their money everywhere, and they're very successful at it.

In recent years Movie Industry and television industries have been on a rapid upward trend. In particular, the decline of television and the fact that more people have no money to go out and have to stay at home and watch TV programs have led to record-breaking TV ratings.

Many people have become aware of the enormous risks in the Financial Market, and they are eager to join this burgeoning industry, waving their cash, but most of them have become targets of scammers.

Lin Qi and his father discussed for a while that they would spend about one to two months holding auditions in the state to find a suitable female lead. In reality, only a few people could get the role, as most ordinary girls would not agree to film adult movies, even if they were only "adult-rated" rather than "adult" movies.

However, some girls who have already entered this industry may not be willing. According to some tabloids, at least several thousand girls of all kinds have entered the adult film industry every year in recent years.

Various reasons?

No, to put it bluntly, it's all about money. The filming time is short, the audience is small, and the publicity is low, but the money paid is quite a lot. Many of the adult films made by these girls may never have any contact with their social circles in their entire lives.

Even if she were discovered, this would sound much better than being a streetwalker, even though both professions are considered the same by ordinary people.

Among these girls, there will always be some who fit the character's requirements and are willing to expose some of their personalities. Moreover, these girls sign one-off collaborations with adult film producers without long-term contracts, making them easier to use.

Lin Qi's eloquent explanations of various methods amazed the Fox family, confirming their initial idea that getting Lin Qi on board was the best decision they had made in years.

The next morning, a knock on the door startled Lin Qi awake. He opened his eyes and it took him a while to remember that he hadn't slept at his own home the night before, but at the Fox family's villa.

He gradually recalled that he had talked with the father and son quite late, so he didn't go back and stayed there instead.

He patted his forehead, still feeling slightly dizzy. He took off his bathrobe and went into the bathroom, where the hot water would help him fully recover.

A short while later, he appeared in the restaurant, just in time for breakfast.

The simple yet exquisite food on the pristine white table instantly lifted my spirits.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Mr. Fox asked casually out of courtesy. Normally, people would say "It was a great bed" or "It was a good experience," which is a courtesy, just like "Have you eaten?" and "Yes."

But Lin Qi shook his head and sat down. "To be honest, it's not good. I'm not used to spring mattresses, and the mattress on that spring mattress is softer than any I've ever seen!"

Mr. Fox's face suddenly showed a hint of curiosity and inquiry. "Excuse me, my friend Lin Qi, have you ever been to jail or been imprisoned?"

"No!" Lin Qi answered confidently, without even thinking. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Only people who have been in prison for a long time would prefer a firmer bed. You might not know this, but right now, only prisons still have some really firm beds!"

When spring mattresses first appeared, they were indeed a luxury that only the wealthy could afford. However, their workmanship was actually not complicated at all. Soon, someone circumvented the patented technology and produced cheap products. Later, the developers of the first generation of spring mattresses simply closed their factories and only licensed their products.

This led to a widespread craze throughout society, with some advertisements being particularly enticing, such as "Enjoy a five-million-dollar nightlife for fifty dollars," to the point that even now, the vast majority of families are sleeping on spring mattresses.

Lin Qi said he wasn't used to such a soft bed. Well, the only places with wooden beds are prisons and, oh right, the countryside! He didn't answer the question. When he asked to have a wooden bed custom-made, the people at the furniture store looked at him strangely, but he didn't comment on it.

He picked up the "《Transaction Newspaper》" at random. There wasn't anything particularly special in it, and it wasn't much different from any other day. However, he unexpectedly found an interesting piece of news in the middle of the back page.

A businessman purchased War Bonds from a country that had participated in World War. This country is now a Victorious Country, and theoretically, with the war over, the bonds should be redeemed. However, the bond redemption service has not started as promised when the bonds were issued.

A firm based in the Federal capital has issued a warning to individuals and organizations holding the country's bonds.

However, perhaps because these matters were not officially recognized and the Federal government may not have verified them, although it was successfully published in the 《Transaction Newspaper》, it was placed in the awkward position of the middle section.

Lin Qi frowned and kept this in mind. If even the Victorious Country couldn't honor their bonds, the global economic situation would be dire!

Aside from this one piece of news, there was nothing else that was more noteworthy to him. Things like the Federal Industrial Index hitting a new high were no longer attractive. In the past three years, at least 600 out of 800 newspapers had reported the same thing—"Creating Miracles." Sometimes, too many miracles can make people numb.
