I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 335 - 334 Anne Hathaway, Want to Become Sexier?

In 2005, October had arrived.

This was originally a time many people loved because of the Halloween season.

But suddenly, a major news story broke out from Mexico!

"The Mexican government announces the nation is in a state of emergency! The swine flu pandemic is now uncontrollable…"

Of course, this news was broadcasted by a U.S. TV station.

However, Mexico is just too close to the United States.

And regarding an outbreak like this, anyone with sense understands.

If it breaks out in a neighboring country, your own country likely won't be spared.

Especially a country like the United States with so many immigrants.

It could even be said that every American would enter a state of panic at this moment.

Because basically no one misunderstands the state of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Over there, it's truly a free passage.

And it's legally justified.

The United States and Mexico signed a trade agreement a long time ago, and although it's an economic agreement, it also affects the exchange of personnel.

An American can go to Mexico without any visa, and just go over casually.

Of course, coming back is a bit more troublesome.

Yes, the U.S. is that domineering.

When returning, they will strictly check to see whether a person has switched.

Crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally happens every moment.

So, from a normal logical perspective.

Since Mexico says they can't control it anymore, it indicates that the outbreak is quite severe.

The U.S. absolutely won't be spared.

Especially the adjacent states.

And in fact, many Americans now realize they are in the midst of a plague.

They are also very angry.

Angry that the United States Government is not disclosing the pandemic situation.

Now, Mexico has laid its cards on the table.

Anyway, they're not able to hold on anymore.

Originally, Mexico hoped to rely on the United States, after all, many drugs and vaccine developments, etc.

All depend on the United States.

Plus, there's the precedent of the Spanish flu.

Mexico didn't want to take the blame for this.

But now, they really can't hold out any longer.

So, this is also seen as a kind of forced confrontation.

Can you, the United States, still hold out?

As for how the Mexican side managed to get through the various hurdles, they surely had to give some benefits.

These details are usually unknown to the general public.

But there are indeed quite a few benefits at hand.

The most direct one being, placing all the pressure on Fauci.

You, this guy, can you still keep it a secret now?

Unexpectedly, Dr. Fauci, this guy.

After Mexico publicly disclosed the current situation, that is, laying bare the facts.

Under the strong offensive of journalists.

Under the questioning of legislators.

Dr. Fauci remained extremely firm!

"Our current situation is still not clear! From the data perspective, it's currently not a pandemic! Many people are just being alarmist! They are trying to create chaos!"

Wow, this guy's mouth is really firm.

But the helpless thing is, here we are.

Even if we all feel the pandemic is obvious, as long as Fauci produces enough explanatory data.

For instance, currently, the number of sick people is relatively small compared to the total population.

Then, it can still be considered that this pandemic doesn't exist!

This is the United States.

But, the pressure is mounting by the day.

The current United States is like a pressure cooker.

Not knowing when the lid won't hold and will fly open!

Just wait.

…

We all know the pandemic exists.

We all know they're lying.

They know we know they're lying.

But right now, officials still haven't blown the lid on the pandemic.

This situation makes even Zhou Mo Sen, who had planned to compare himself to Ximen Qing for the sake of earning US Dollars, a bit frustrated.

Compared to those bastards.

I, Zhou Mo Sen, am a great person!

At least I still have a bit of integrity!

Those bastards really lie through their teeth without blushing.

But the more they're like that.

The better it is for me, Zhou Mo Sen.

Keep selling, then.

Also, there's a special benefit!

"Infiltration" is about to be released!

This movie indeed deserves to be released.

And for all the work done to get it released, particularly the negotiations with Warner.

It has been very frustrating!

"Your movie is simply unlikely to be a blockbuster!"

A manager-level person from Warner said this.

This person's name is Robin.

Zhou Mo Sen and James Wan, they had quite different reactions to this statement.

James Wan was a bit visibly upset at the time, mainly angry, but afterward, when he spoke, he seemed a bit...

Resigned.

"Our movie is quite innovative, indeed unprecedented, so the box office forecast is hard to predict, but we've received quite a lot of good reviews before."

Based on his statement, it was logically sound.

But Zhou Mo Sen inevitably felt, this guy is too timid.

And our Dr. Zhou's thinking was very simple.

Zhou Mo Sen first had a chat with James Wan, "Have you ever shopped at flea markets?"

"Flea markets?"

"Yes, the kind where you can haggle. Let me tell you, in those markets, if someone wants to lower the price, they'll first devalue your item as if it's worthless."

James Wan immediately understood, he had been tricked just now!

Then Zhou Mo Sen confronted Robin directly.

"If Warner thinks our movie is no good, what's there to talk about? We can find other companies; before, there were two others very interested in our movie."

Zhou Mo Sen's words were quite decisive.

Robin immediately found himself at a loss and had to negotiate properly again.

The logic was clear.

If they really had no interest, if they really thought our movie wouldn't be a hit.

What was the point of negotiating?

But you could also see that Warner's people were quite arrogant.

However, that's fine, just wait until our movie is released.

We'll see then!

Zhou Mo Sen is very confident.

The discussion of the contract naturally revolves around profit sharing.

However, the sharing percentage is dynamic.

At $10 million, Zhou Mo Sen and his team can take 40%.

At $30 million in box office, they can take 50%.

If it surpasses $50 million, it can increase to 60%.

Such tiered contracts are quite common in American Hollywood.

It can be seen as a kind of betting agreement or incentive agreement.

The better you do, the more money you make.

Now, "Infiltration" is about to be released.

Right in time for the Halloween season.

And given this situation, led by Fauci and his group, they still don't want to uncover the pandemic's lid.

That means that everything is normal.

Meaning, cinemas won't be affected by the pandemic.

Go watch a movie if you want to.

Zhou Mo Sen unexpectedly benefits again.

But this benefit... anyway, they're more shameless than I am!

I don't want to think too much, just prepare to see the results.

Of course, if this movie succeeds, Charlize Theron will surely benefit more.

She might become even more famous.

So, recently, although Charlize Theron doesn't have much time to be affectionate with Zhou Mo Sen.

She still calls him constantly.

This period will have journalists focusing on them, so they need to avoid it.

Zhou Mo Sen naturally enjoys these phone chats, especially telling the other person to switch to vibrate mode, then place it...

Ahem... won't go into details.

But someone else suddenly called.

"Can you make me sexier this time?"

Make her sexier?

Isn't this right up my alley, Dr. Zhou Mo Sen!

Only, the person who said this was quite unexpected for Zhou Mo Sen.

It was Anne Hathaway.
