Chapter 81: Foreigners want to buy

Background: New York, Lighthouse Country, 1938.

The opening of "Battle Tendency," introduced through Smokey.

Leads into Joseph Joestar.

It also brings out the roles of older characters from the previous installment, such as Erina and Speedwagon.

The actor playing Speedwagon in the second part is Deng Chao in old-age makeup.

Being nearly forty years old himself, he surprisingly didn't look out of place at all in this makeup.

The elderly Erina is played by Lady Sun.

"Hey, Grandma, was Old Man Speedwagon really just Grandpa's best friend? Nothing more?"

In the taxi, Joseph blinked his eyes twice and turned to ask Erina.

Lady Sun, also in old-age makeup, raised an eyebrow and said:

"What are you trying to say?"

"Because, you know, that old man has always been single, and you've always been a widow, Grandma. I was just wondering if your relationship was really that simple."

Hearing this dialogue, the staff outside the set couldn't help but show expressions of suppressed laughter.

In less than ten minutes, everyone clearly felt the difference between "Battle Tendency" and "Phantom Blood."

If nothing else, just the gap in the two protagonists' personalities raised their perception of "Battle Tendency" by a notch.

Of course, it wasn't that there was anything wrong with Jonathan himself.

But from the audience's perspective.

They just felt it wasn't interesting enough.

Take Mr. Jin's characters as an example.

Guo Jing is a good person, right?

But why is his popularity not as high as his nephew Yang Guo's?

It's because his personality is too serious; he's not fun.

In reality, people would be very happy to be friends with such a person, but in entertainment works, it seems a bit dull.

Finally, faced with his grandson's suspicion, Erina displayed the demeanor of an elder that she lacked in her youth, grabbing her portable ladies' parasol and swatting her grandson with it.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was wrong! Grandma, forgive me!"

"Cut! That's a wrap!"

Xu Feng, sitting behind the camera, shouted:

"Everyone take a break, we'll continue in a bit."

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief and began to chat with one another.

"U-um, Director Xu, just now when I was outside, a foreigner asked me to give this to you."

At this moment, a girl with an exotic face like Fatty's, but a completely different temperament, approached Xu Feng and gathered her courage to say.

"Huh?"

Xu Feng slightly raised his eyes and arched a brow.

Guli Nazha, playing Suzi Q.

Originally, Xu Feng wanted Da Mimi to do it, but currently, Da Mimi is busy filming a drama called something like "Ancient Sword" with Fatty.

She didn't have an available slot, so she didn't come.

Besides, Xu Feng was also afraid that if she came, she would get into a fight with Gao Yuanyuan.

After all, both of them belong to the type with extremely strong possessiveness.

Nazha handed over a business card.

On it was written a private phone number.

But what truly caught Xu Feng's attention was the name on it—

Little Wilmont.

That evening, in California, Lighthouse Country, the world's largest subscription-based streaming platform company—Netflix headquarters.

Xu Feng met the founder of this company, a Fortune Global 500... uh, well, a Fortune 504 boss.

This position is a bit awkward, but it is definitely a height unreachable by 99.99% of the world's population.

"Hello, very happy to meet you, Mr. Xu."

After shaking hands, Reed's first sentence got straight to the point:

"We are very interested in your 'Bleach'."

That's right, the Netflix boss personally met with Xu Feng because he wanted to buy the overseas broadcasting rights for "Bleach."

With the continuous rise of the Dragon Country's economy in recent years, its international status has increasingly improved.

The whole world has also witnessed the terrifying purchasing power of this country with over a billion people.

The demands of Dragon Country people are also increasingly being valued by the international market.

To be precise, they have their eyes on the money in the Dragon Country market.

But it doesn't matter; all crows under the sun are black, and Xu Feng himself likes it too.

He isn't Old Ma, pretentious enough to say bullshit like "I have no interest in money."

The foreigner who sent the business card was a staff member under Reed; he probably saw the newcomer Nazha standing with Xu Feng and mistook her for Xu Feng's assistant or something.

So he found an opportunity to give her the card and asked her to pass it to Xu Feng.

According to Netflix's investigation, in the Dragon Country market, if "Bleach's" popularity is second, no one dares to claim first.

And although the copyright for "Bleach" is in Xu Feng's hands.

There are also many video editors online who, out of a desire to show off, edit some passionate or combat segments, add intense BGM, and upload them to foreign sites like YouTube.

This has also caused quite a stir.

This has allowed "Bleach" to slowly accumulate a certain number of fans on foreign websites as well.

Recently, Netflix has frequently received complaints from users demanding they buy the copyright for "Bleach."

PS: Thank you all for your strong support; I'm adding a small update for everyone today.

I really like JOJO, but it seems not many people on Feilu have watched it? Especially the first two parts. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
