Chapter 108

"Thank you, Director Xu, then I'll head back to China first."

Two days later, Kakyoin's scenes were finished, and Qiao Zhenyu officially wrapped up, saying goodbye to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng nodded and waved, and had already started contacting the special effects company to get to work.

Unlike when filming in the Lighthouse Nation, where there would be rumors of Xu Feng...

The JoJo crew was all men; where could he go?

Only the little assistant Nazha was by his side, but Xu Feng hadn't "eaten" her yet.

How should I put it?

Xu Feng is actually quite particular about the spirit of contract.

If he can't give a girl normal love, he gives resources directly.

Xu Feng could tell that as long as he said "Let's date" to Nazha.

This girl would absolutely throw herself into his arms.

He could have her in less than a week.

But... that's too cheap.

He felt he should at least provide the girl with some practical rewards.

At least give her a decent role.

Therefore, the onlookers were quite bored these past few months.

However, this boring window period also came to an end.

Because... "Death Note" was about to be released on Netflix.

If it went through regular channels, this matter would have nothing to do with domestic fans.

But we have Baidu, Ali!

And Xu Feng himself simply took out his phone and posted a long-overdue post on his official Weibo, just three words:

[See you on the cloud drive]

Then attached a poster of "Death Note" below.

For a time, the masses who had been spewing venom because Xu Feng's latest filming wasn't the third season of "Bleach" all expressed that the boss was generous.

Directly telling everyone to watch the pirated version.

What is called "class"?

This is class!

Just as Xu Feng put down his phone, preparing to continue the final filming of "Stardust Crusaders."

He didn't know that his own eccentric fans back home had pulled off another eccentric stunt—

Inside the female dormitory of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

With a "beep" notification, the other three girls in the dorm swarmed over to Fat Di, who had just returned to the dorm after filming.

"Reba, is it downloaded? Snacks are ready, hurry up and open it."

The other three sisters in the dorm sat in a row with Fat Di, holding snacks.

"Wait a minute, let me buy a membership first."

Fat Di kept swiping her phone.

"Membership? What membership?"

"I'm using a VPN to buy a Netflix membership to give the boss's film a like."

Fat Di replied.

The other three sisters thought it made sense, so they also used accelerators to VPN and went to Netflix to buy memberships.

Although watching dramas on Netflix in China is a bit laggy, leaving comments is no problem.

Consequently, the comment section for "Death Note" on the Netflix platform was instantly invaded by a large number of Chinese comments.

And Fat Di and the others also discovered that they were far from the only ones who went to the trouble of using a VPN to cheer for Xu Feng overseas!

And after buying a membership on Netflix and leaving a comment.

Many netizens even ran back to Xu Feng's Weibo comment section to post screenshots, showing that they had paid and weren't freeloading.

"BOSS, according to the backend, our website's subscription membership has increased by over 400,000."

At the Netflix headquarters in the Lighthouse Nation, the assistant reported to Reed.

"Is it because of the release of 'Death Note'? As expected, my choice to invest in this film was correct."

Reed sat in the boss's chair, leaning back slightly, with the expression of a big shot who had everything under control.

Come to think of it, he was the first person to see the script.

"But one-third of the new users are from China."

However, the assistant's next sentence made Reed uneasy.

What's the situation?

He knew that most areas in China couldn't even access their own websites, let alone buy memberships?

What's the situation?

Soon, Reed had people investigate the reason.

He had to marvel at Xu Feng's terrifying influence in China.

To be able to make fans go to such lengths for him!

"...Contact Xu! Tell him if the investment for the third season of 'Bleach' or the second half of 'Death Note' isn't enough, just tell us, we'll add as much as he wants!"

After a few minutes of contemplation, Reed made a decisive decision.

He thought he had already overestimated Xu Feng, but he didn't expect to have underestimated him.

It was necessary for him to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with the other party.

Even if he couldn't get a piece of the pie in the Chinese market, at least he couldn't let the distribution rights for Xu Feng's future works fall into the hands of other competitors.

Soon, Xu Feng, who received Reed's contact, also learned about this.

To be honest, even a heartless person like him was moved by these fans who usually loved to scold him.

You have to know that the cheapest Netflix membership is about 55 RMB.

That's already more than the cost of going to the cinema to watch a film.

In the past, he always held a disdainful attitude toward "brain-dead fans," because the vast majority of artists treat them like leeks.

And they themselves are oblivious to it.

But now he inexplicably felt that these people were actually quite cute.

At least to the object of their worship, that is.

[Stop buying, stop buying, just watch it. Even if you buy more, Netflix won't give me any more money.]

Xu Feng could only quickly post another tweet and express his gratitude to the fans.

This barely stopped their "money-throwing" behavior.

And those Chinese netizens who had just finished downloading, when they clicked into the video.

Seeing the empty screen without bullet comments, they felt a bit unaccustomed for a moment.

Xu Feng's dramas have a unique charm; it's only fun when you can roast and have fun with the bullet comments.

Such a clean screen felt uncomfortable instead.

In the school dormitory, students who had downloaded the source didn't watch it immediately, but waited for their roommates to bring food back so they could eat and watch together.

And office workers at home pulled their family or lovers to watch together.

Of course, most of the latter didn't have any.

As for those living alone, there's no help for it; either hold your cats and dogs to watch, or watch with your left and right hands.

And because Xu Feng himself said they could watch pirated versions freely, those streamers naturally wouldn't miss the chance to ride the heat.

Directly turning on the camera to watch with the audience in the live stream.

However, less than ten minutes into the plot.

The Chinese audience was once again stunned by Xu Feng's imaginative creative ability.

Writing the target's name in a notebook can kill them!?

What a simple and clear ability.

And when Light Yagami, played by Xu Feng, said the classic line "I will become the god of the new world" to the Shinigami Ryuk.

Countless "Bleach" fans felt the same pressure as when Aizen defected from the Soul Society and said, "I will stand in the heavens."

Uh... okay, actually it was slightly worse; when Aizen acts cool, there are few in the entire ACG circle who can compare.

The plot continued to develop, and Kira's behavior of wantonly using the Death Note to abuse and kill criminals naturally attracted the attention of the police.

When the mysterious detective named "L" said he would catch Kira.

All the audience were in disbelief.

After all, Light Yagami's long-distance killing method using the Death Note seemed impossible to crack.

But in less than ten minutes, everyone was slapped in the face.

L first used a decoy to grasp the key information that Kira couldn't kill someone whose true face he hadn't seen.

Then he used the broadcast time zone of the news to determine the city where Kira was located.

After a series of operations, the audience watching felt goosebumps all over.

My God!

Only 20 minutes in, and he already showed such a scalp-tingling operation.

No wonder the foreigners blew this film to the heavens a few months ago.

"Holy crap! Is this L too smart?!"

In the Douyu live stream, the "mute bride" Zhou Jie had her mouth wide open and screamed.
