Chapter 42

So the question is, what is the concept of Xu Feng receiving 4.4 billion in investment?

This is really hard to say.

It is rumored that Zhao Xiaodao’s legendary bad work *Legend of Fei* had an investment of 700 million.

However, Xu Feng doesn’t know where that 700 million was spent.

Lady Sun’s representative work *Empresses in the Palace* only cost 70 million RMB.

That is to say, about 60 *Empresses in the Palace*.

Director Xu doesn’t know if this will be hyped up, and if those netizens who have nothing better to do will come up with something like 1 Feng = 4.4 billion...

Half a month later.

The *Battle Tendency* crew has arrived in Venice to start filming the middle plot.

"What’s going on? I feel like the atmosphere is a bit strange..."

Nazha, playing Suzi Q, finally had her turn to appear; she changed into a maid outfit, and after coming out of the dressing room, she noticed that the expressions of the actors and staff in the crew were a bit strange.

They kept glancing at Xu Feng.

"Sister Nazha! Director Xu is famous!"

Nazha’s little assistant said excitedly with a flushed face.

"Hasn’t he always been quite famous?"

Nazha whispered.

"He earned 600 million!"

Uh, it seems the little assistant’s information isn’t very well-informed; it’s just investment, not that he earned it.

And she obviously mistook it for RMB.

However, even so, Nazha was still quite scared.

For a nobody like her who just signed with a company and has only played two roles including Suzi Q...

...the word "billion" is too far away.

However, the change in expression on Nazha’s face was completely seen by the great beauty not far away.

Hmph, I knew it long ago.

And I witnessed it with my own eyes.

Yes, although I feel this kind of self-satisfaction has no practical benefits, the great beauty just feels great!

"Get ready to work! Everyone be quick! *JOJO* must be released during the winter break; if you delay it, I’ll skin you alive!"

At Xu Feng’s order, everyone started working with a start.

The person in front of them is a ruthless person who can pull 600 million in investment from foreigners.

Yes, I don’t know what kind of expressions they will have when they realize the transaction unit is dollars.

And two days later, *Bleach* was officially launched on the Netflix streaming platform in the form of a member subscription system, which is equivalent to an official global release.

Unlike the Dragon Country audience who were miserable chasing the drama with two episodes a week before.

Because the *Bleach: Soul Society Arc* has already ended...

...Netflix launched all twenty-plus episodes at once.

It can be said to be a large quantity and satisfying.

Unlike the Wu Xia and Xianxia that foreigners simply couldn’t understand, the viewing threshold for *Bleach* is almost 0 for the West.

The worldview quickly laid out in the first episode quickly attracted the attention of foreigners.

And just four episodes in, the super-high-speed development where Byakuya Kuchiki showed overwhelming strength, killed the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki in seconds, and took Rukia away...

...also made countless foreigners’ hearts beat faster with tension.

"OMG!"

In a luxury mansion in the Hollywood rich area.

Countless Hollywood actresses with figures comparable to Yang Mi, or even three times hotter, saw the scene where Aizen was killed and his body hung on the building wall...

...and all subconsciously covered their mouths and screamed.

Among them was Hollywood actress Megan...

PS: There will be another update later, thank you all for your continued support.

The next day, the headline of the *Los Angeles Times*, one of the three major newspapers in the United States—

"Satan from the East—Sosuke Aizen"

It was officially launched the day before and made the headlines the next day; to be honest, this efficiency is unmatched.

And on the front page, there was a photo of Aizen, played by Xu Feng, taking off his glasses and revealing his true face against the backdrop of a Menos Grande.

This can also be said to be Aizen’s most representative photo in his previous life.

It seems the foreigners’ aesthetics haven’t gone off track either.

And this news quickly spread back to the country through various channels.

Whether it’s the media or Xu Feng’s own fans, they naturally hyped this kind of thing up.

After all, in this era where Western superhero themes are sweeping the mainland market...

...it is truly the first time that domestic entertainment works have been recognized by Western groups.

And at this time, Netflix also made a big move.

They simultaneously announced that they would participate in the investment for the last two seasons of *Bleach* and Xu Feng’s work after next, *DEATH-NOTE*.

A total investment of 643 million dollars, equivalent to 4.44 billion RMB!

[Holy shit! Xu the scumbag is awesome! Earning money while standing in a foreign country?]

[4.4 billion, my god, how many Shuangs is this?]

[Lord Aizen is awesome! Looking forward to Xu the scumbag’s next work!]

[*DEATH-NOTE*, what is that? The next work written on the official blog of the 2D film and television company isn’t it called JOJO or something?]

[Death... Note? Does it feel like Xu the scumbag is obsessed with themes related to 'death'?]

[I say you people, others are already winning glory for the country abroad, can you stop calling him a scumbag?]

[One thing is one thing, he snatched my wife, I haven’t settled that account with him yet!]

[To the person above, may I ask who your wife is? After all, Xu Feng has quite a few ex-girlfriends...]

"CEEEESAAAAAR!!!"

At the foot of a snow mountain in Switzerland, Hu Ge’s heart-wrenching scream echoed through the abandoned hotel that served as the filming location.

"Cut! That’s a wrap!"

Xu Feng waved his hand and shouted.

However, Hu Ge, with tears all over his face, still kept his head down, sobbing uncontrollably, and remained silent.

"Um... brother, I’m not dead yet."

At this time, Yuan Hong, who played Caesar, walked up from the corner and patted Hu Ge on the shoulder.

"Woooooo!"

Hu Ge hugged him and cried bitterly.

The scene was filled with the smell of dead gay, standard for being too deep into the role.

But Xu Feng nodded very satisfactorily.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to film such a perfect effect.

Many staff members on and off set were also quietly wiping away tears.

It shows how good the filming effect of this scene was.

If you add the tragic background music from the original work, by the time it’s released...

...who knows how many tears it will harvest.

"Next is the final arena plot; if it goes smoothly, it should be able to be released during the winter break."

Saying that, Xu Feng turned his head to look at Yuan Hong and said:
