Chapter 642

~8 min read 1,575 words

Savannah pressed her chin against Xu Feng's chest, blinking her sapphire-like eyes as she looked at him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng immediately wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He thought to himself, does this girl have the heart of a procuress?

"What are you thinking about?"

Xu Feng gave her backside a light pat.

"I just want you to be more comfortable..."

Savannah continued to pout in the same tone as Guan Gu Shen Qi.

Xu Feng blinked twice, reluctantly sitting up to pull the girl into his arms.

He wondered if she had placed her own status too low.

One must know that even someone as sensible as Guli Nazha had never said anything to Xu Feng like, "Why don't I serve you together with my little fellow villager?"

And just as Xu Feng was studying the physiological differences between foreign young ladies and Chinese young ladies.

Many cinema chain managers were having conversations like this: "Manager Wang, do we really have to reduce the screenings for *The Mystery of the Dragon Seal*? That's Big Brother Cheng and the Governor, you know!"

Damn, this sounds like the flavor of the Fairy fans, "Bai Ke Fei."

That's right, seeing that the biggest competitor for Xu Feng's current release window—well, let's tentatively call them the biggest competitors—the collaboration between Big Brother Cheng and Schwarzenegger, *The Mystery of the Dragon Seal*, had an attendance rate that flopped to such an outrageous figure.

The cinema chain manager decisively stated: Reduce the screenings.

Give all the vacated slots to *Fate/Zero*.

"Screw Big Brother Cheng; a screening with over a hundred seats couldn't even sell ten tickets! That *Fate/Zero* thing has at least an eighty percent attendance rate every time; am I not here to make money?"

Audiences are realistic, and capital is even more realistic than you.

After all, movie theaters are there to sell tickets and make money; for the same screening, you have to run the projector whether one person enters or a hundred people enter.

But that is the difference between earning 50 RMB and 5,000 RMB in two hours.

If you were the cinema chain, who would you choose?

To be honest, Xu Feng was a bit worried that the media wouldn't report in a couple of days that he had already surpassed Big Brother Cheng.

It wasn't that Xu Feng was being modest, but he believed he truly couldn't compare yet.

These unscrupulous media outlets shouldn't try to kill him with praise.

The next day, Xu Feng had already flown to Shanghai for promotions.

And the related news about *Fate/Zero* had successfully dominated the front pages of major websites.

"Xu Feng Creates Another Miracle, *Fate/Zero* Takes Nearly 400 Million at the Mainland Box Office on Day One!" "Reality and Idealism, the Conflict Between Tyranny and Kingship; Seemingly a Popcorn Movie, Actually Deeply Thought-Provoking." "Why Was a 19-Year-Old Foreign Girl with No Acting Experience Four Months Ago Selected by Xu Feng to Be the Female Lead?" "The Film Emperor Who Never Crashes Creates Brilliance Again in the Film Industry; Experts Predict Xu Feng's New Film May Break 6 Billion Globally." With such praise, Xu Feng searched online for a long time and couldn't find two reports blackening his name.

It made him feel a bit unaccustomed.

However, while he didn't see two negative reports, there were quite a few sour ones.

Among them were those pointing out the reason *Fate/Zero* was able to achieve such high box office numbers.

It lay in the unreasonably high number of screenings given by the cinema chains.

This is wrong; they should give other films more opportunities.

To this, Xu Feng expressed: I can go screw your mother.

Why don't you make the audience pay to watch those rotten films?

That would be the true meaning of giving more opportunities, right?

It is precisely because domestic rotten films are always indulged by a group of self-righteous rotten people that we have fallen into this era of collective rot.

Trash like *Full River Red* can even make it into the top ten of the entire list.

Meanwhile, on Bilibili, as time passed.

The standard answers for the entrance exam set by Xu Feng were also published online, and more and more old-school anime fans officially settled into Bilibili.

And one week after *Fate/Zero* was officially released, when Xu Feng was already running roadshows on the European continent.

Fan Shi, who had watched the film no less than three times and had been dug out by Xu Feng to join Bilibili, also released his first rant video—【Ranting about *Fate/Zero*, Xu Feng's Epitaph for Idealists】. "Two broken ships, each with 300 and 200 people, can only repair one.

The 300-person ship is repaired, then split into two ships of 100 and 200, both broken again, can only repair one. Repair the 200-person one, thus, 300 die and 200 live."

"The Holy Grail tells you, Emiya Kiritsugu, you have always been doing multiple-choice questions regarding the number of lives.

If you want to save the world, you must achieve it through your own methods.

After repeating this, the two ends of the scale flip, and more are killed than saved."

"Regardless, objectively speaking, Emiya Kiritsugu saved many people, and his existence also prevented more people from dying.

What truly makes him painful and desperate is the guilt and self-doubt; deep down, it is precisely because he is too kind and sentimental that he cannot let go.

When facing the Trolley Problem, he tries to save as many as possible while abandoning others; Kiritsugu would think this is correct, but he never thought abandoning the minority was a good thing; as long as there are casualties, it is a tragedy."

Fan Shi's rant video mainly focused on the analysis of Emiya Kiritsugu as a person.

So far, this can be considered the most thorough analysis of Emiya Kiritsugu on the entire internet, right?

Back when he was a video blogger on other websites, Xu Feng had already noticed him.

At the time, he seemed to have analyzed *Bleach* and predicted the plot.

Although he guessed everything wrong.

After watching it, Xu Feng found that this guy didn't spoil the plot, basically using the character of Emiya Kiritsugu to analyze the Trolley Problem.

So he silently gave him a like.

Otherwise, he would have had to send him a lawyer's letter.

Damn, it's only been out for a week; who the hell dares to spoil it for me?

However, as the founder of Bilibili in this parallel world, he didn't register his own account, nor did he leave comments under any UP's video.

He didn't want to encounter "Mongolian Top Laner."

One week after release, the domestic box office officially broke 2 billion!

To be honest, this figure even scared Xu Feng.

In his past life, perhaps only films like *The Wandering Earth 2* and *Hi, Mom* had this kind of momentum.

Even though Xu Feng is a transmigrator, he actually didn't have much confidence in surpassing these monsters.

After all, for a film to possess high quality, it must also take into account factors like timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony.

Gathering all these elements together is not simpler than transmigrating itself.

However, this time... he had to thank his peers for failing so miserably.

Who could have imagined that a film with two heavyweights like Big Brother Cheng and the Governor could flop like this?

Yet the most enviable one was Savannah, this foreign little girl.

Damn, her first film, which could even be called her first official work, took off instantly!

And four months ago, she was still a nobody who had never acted in any play.

But now she is the female lead of a domestic film, and even a blockbuster ranking high on the world box office list.

Not to mention domestic female stars, even the foreigners over in Hollywood couldn't help but wonder if this girl had saved the galaxy in her past life.

One must know that although Zhao Jinmai and Fat Di had both played important female roles in Xu Feng's films.

But the characters they played weren't particularly brilliant.

Zhao Jinmai played Light Yagami's sister, basically a high-level extra.

That's why some people say she is just a stroke of luck for this ten-billion-box-office actress.

And in *Cells at Work*, Fat Di, who played the Red Blood Cell, had most of her popularity stolen by the loli Platelet, Wang Shengdi, whose screen time was far less than hers.

But Savannah, who played Artoria in *Fate/Zero*, stole the show completely.

It is no exaggeration to say that even Xu Feng, the King of Pretension, played second fiddle to her.

Damn, her luck is too good.

However, what was somewhat unexpected for Xu Feng was.

Savannah, who became globally famous in one shot.

After becoming famous, she felt as if she had lowered her own posture even further.

If one were to say that Zhao Jinmai, Da Mimi, and Da Meiyuan were all single-mindedly wanting to be the main wife, and Guli Nazha and Fat Di belonged to the type who would be satisfied as long as they had a concubine position.

Then Savannah belonged to the type who would be satisfied just having a maid position.

Placing her status so low, even Xu Feng felt a bit unaccustomed.

After all, he isn't a landlord, he is a feminist. ===== CHAPTER 644 =====
