I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 363 - 362: The Cold and Glamorous Vampire

Crowdfunding movie?

What's this fresh tactic?

It's simply too smart!

Zhou Mo Sen unveiled the plan for "Twilight City".

It truly shocked many people.

Moreover, actually, this method isn't entirely unprecedented.

Crowdfunding is a very new model, but in reality, this model is quite common in many facets.

In fact, isn't this just... everyone banding together to do business?

Just pooling some shares.

That is to say, nowadays joint ventures or those listed companies in the financial market.

They're essentially the same.

But!

The key difference in this crowdfunding is, isn't the money coming from ordinary people?

Right, isn't that the same?

But then again, it's not the same.

Because those investments from the financial market, the money is huge!

Indeed, just in terms of numbers, this is really a significant difference.

When big companies invest, whether it's Wall Street capital or Hollywood capital.

They're all millions of bucks.

What's the situation with the crowdfunding you, Zhou Mo Sen, are doing?

Such small money, and the return is so low.

What kind of investment is this?

This is too absurd!

However, some people did notice something.

One must understand, the United States is absolutely not entirely stupid, there are elites here, even online, there are.

Someone posted a very intriguing message.

"The crowdfunding production of 'Twilight City' makes me see the shadow of the American election!"

Hmm?

Isn't this post quite strange?

Clearly, there's no connection, plus, isn't this about making a movie?

A lot of people complain about not being the fundraising phase?

How did this get linked to the American election?

Isn't this completely unrelated?

But!

American netizens seem to have been inspired, or perhaps... they simply understood!

Because, in America, the election has a mandatory phase.

Candidates raise funds, moreover, they advertise, raising small amounts of funds.

In a nutshell, ten bucks or twenty bucks, those can be supported.

This is a necessary phase, and it's exceedingly important.

Because this money may not be much, but with many donors, isn't that a vote?

Moreover, the 'rhetoric' of raising small donations.

You have to establish a narrative.

Actually it's necessary, because such fundraising is to advertise on TV stations.

'Rhetoric' must be said beautifully.

Hence, things like creating a nation, creating a new America.

What else is there?

Precisely, the very famous slogan a dozen years later.

Maga!

Of course, now no one knows these words can combine like this.

But, Americans are very familiar with this fundraising business.

Now upon looking at it... hey!

Isn't this similar in model to Zhou Mo Sen's crowdfunding to make a movie?

Moreover, we're talking about the investment return issue.

Hmm, this is actually the most interesting part.

Many American netizens seem to be awakening.

"I donated to him! But he didn't fulfill any promises!"

"In short, my life has become more miserable!"

"I donated! I voted! Now, I'm unemployed!"

Good heavens, pouring out grievances!

This kind of change truly makes one's heart leap.

Many people were very surprised.

Yet, it seems like, the more the conversation goes, the more there is to talk about.

It's only right.

Just like what can you get from donating to Xiaobu?

Still gotta work overtime, still can't afford what you can't afford.

What if you donate to Zhou Mo Sen's movie?

At the very least, you can get a movie ticket!

That's another perspective.

The price of American movie tickets is very interesting, it's a special kind of design.

In other words, the price of movie tickets in an area can't exceed double the local minimum hourly wage.

Simply put, two hours of work in a supermarket pays for a movie.

The average movie is also two hours.

Or more bluntly, that is.

This counts as the capitalists generously allowing people to relax.

Then there's a topic to be had!

Donate to Zhou Mo Sen, and relax for two hours!

Donate to that other guy?

With this comparison.

Whoa!

The movie "Twilight City" is getting hotter!

...

To be honest, Zhou Mo Sen never expected the influence to be so great at the start.

He originally planned to launch an unconventional marketing campaign.

But who would've thought it would change its flavor.

How did these Americans relate it to the American election?

I clearly didn't!

But now in this situation, Zhou Mo Sen can't explain too much.

These things go like this.

Can't explain clearly, and if explained, wouldn't it mean being targeted?

No choice, can only ignore those comments.

We're just making a movie.

And once this method from Zhou Mo Sen came out.

Anne was also quite surprised.

She didn't expect that it could be done this way.

Of course, Anne Hathaway is still a smart girl, she immediately asked a critical question.

"You aren't really planning to rely solely on crowdfunding money to make the movie, right? Without any big company involvement?"

These words sufficiently prove Anne's cleverness.

Zhou Mo Sen naturally nodded, "Of course there are big companies involved."

Yes, it's even necessary!

Zhou Mo Sen, although a doctor, sometimes when he reads some novels, he often reads about it.

Protagonists gobble up all the profits.

In entertainment literature, making movies and independently producing, all profits belong to oneself.

This... indeed, is very exhilarating.

But in reality, it's simply impossible.

There are too many examples.

Even the most powerful independent production company in human history, DreamWorks, was acquired.

Moreover, speaking of DreamWorks' "Escape from Clone Island", the distribution was given to other companies.

Simply put, in today's society, the level of division of labor has reached quite an advanced degree.

There's basically no chance to eat alone.

Many times 'joint ventures' or shareholding.

What matters isn't 'money', funding doesn't necessarily refer to money.

Funding might also mean resources!

Hollywood big companies have lots of distribution resources and various channels.

Yes, Zhou Mo Sen also feels those guys aren't great.

Just like Warner, they later ruined the DC movies.

Various reboots.

Lost a mess.

But now, they indeed hold massive resources.

Doing movies requires somewhat cooperation with them.

Zhou Mo Sen previously worked on "Infiltration", and this movie not only helped him earn a lot of money.

But also made him understand these principles.

What he needs to do is not eat alone but integrate these resources.

And then maximize benefits.

This is the realistic situation of the social economy in today's era.

Therefore, Zhou Mo Sen actually had already talked quite a bit with Robin.

This time, everyone is participating; crowdfunding money is only a part.

And Warner is definitely very confident.

In conclusion, this time "Twilight City" is absolutely a major production!

In this way, shouldn't major productions have stricter casting?

Zhou Mo Sen thought Isabella is almost finalized.

And the others?

Actually, Anne really wanted to play Isabella in this movie, but unfortunately, she...indeed is a bit older.

The current Anne is somewhat fit to play a female college student, but to play a high school girl, it's somewhat not right.

Especially before, for Catwoman, she got somewhat sexier.

American high schools indeed do not lack sexy hot girls, but our movie is different.

But the other roles?

Zhou Mo Sen plans to proceed with the next phase of casting, he's ready to strongly intervene.

Yet unexpectedly, an acquaintance came looking for him.

"Heard you're making a vampire movie?"

When Eva Green reappeared before Zhou Mo Sen.

This French beauty was even colder and more alluring...
