Chapter 8 Movies and Stockings

While Zhang Feng was busy counting money in the KFC store, the movie he filmed, Special Forces, was finally released as scheduled.

In a cinema not far from Central Street, the first movie that opened at 7: was officially shown. After the newspapers advertised it, many people went to the cinema to watch the new movie.

It had been less than ten years since the flames of World War I were extinguished. Propaganda such as "American soldiers turned the tide, fought bloody battles, and defended the people of Europe" attracted people's attention, made their blood boil, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously. They proudly held their chests high and walked into the cinema.

When the lights in the cinema went out, the curtain on the stage began to light up, and then the logo of the film company flashed, and the movie began. Luke and his wife sat in the middle of the third row, because his job was easy, so he could get off work so early to grab a good seat.

At this moment, he was staring at the screen intently. At the beginning of the movie, he saw a very beautiful woman wearing a black dress and some kind of pants on her slender legs. His blood immediately boiled. He just thought that this woman was so beautiful and sexy.

If his wife wore the same outfit at night, he felt he would be fine again.

At this moment, her wife's eyes also lit up, and she planned to go shopping in various stores, clothing stores, and tailor shops tomorrow, and she must buy an identical set.

The movie continues, and the male protagonist says goodbye to the beautiful lady because he is asked to serve in the military. There are many people like him. When he arrives at the barracks, he and dozens of other people are selected to join a newly formed special forces.

Oh, there was also a yellow-skinned Chinese among them. Aren’t Chinese the sick men of East Asia? This made him feel a little unhappy. At this time, some people in the cinema had already shouted to express their dissatisfaction, but he did not behave so low-class.

The camera turned, and the protagonists were taken to a jungle and began various trainings, starting with physical training. When they saw the yellow-skinned Chinese man taking off his clothes, revealing a height of nearly 1 meters, slightly weaker than the bodybuilding champion, but more muscular, even better than the white protagonist and the black man, a burst of women's exclamations were heard at the scene.

Even Luke was jealous of this yellow-skinned Chinese man. He pinched his arms and abdomen and stopped looking down on the Chinese man in the movie.

As the movie continues, the audience is excited to see the various trainings performed by the protagonists. They do hundreds of push-ups every day, run dozens of kilometers with weights, use various fighting techniques, punch each other, and show off their bodies, making both men and women drool.

Then there are various gun shooting, driving cars, tanks, and even airplanes, which make people feel that they can do anything and have a lot of fun.

Regardless of whether these are reasonable or consistent with history, Zhang Feng added them all, just to add up all the cool points. However, Zhang Feng's ability is limited, so he can only rely on these cool points to ensure that his first movie does not fail.

The movie continues. When the training is over, some people are eliminated and only 10 people are left. The protagonists also start the first graduation exercise test. Halfway through, they receive orders from their superiors to be sent to the European battlefield.

At this point the film is exactly one-third through, and after the protagonists perform various show operations and complete several strike missions, the film reaches its climax. Their next mission is a decapitation operation, assassination, or preferably the capture of the German Supreme Commander alive.

Afterwards, the protagonist group took a plane to the designated location and then parachuted. After a series of stealth and battles, they finally sneaked into the headquarters and captured the supreme commander. When they retreated, two people were needed to stay behind to block the pursuers. There is no doubt that the white protagonist and the Chinese played by Zhang Feng took the initiative to stay, and Zhang Feng also said a line: "For America, long live America."

At the end, of course, there was no heroic death, otherwise how could the next part be filmed? Zhang Feng and the white male protagonist were seriously injured, but they still came back alive. Then there was the heartwarming scene of the male protagonist and his girlfriend Greta Garbo meeting again, of course, with that sexy outfit and the most important stockings.

This again excited the LSPs present and made the ladies' hearts beat again.

At the end of the movie, the audience was excited and moved, especially Zhang Feng's selflessness and bravery at the end, which made them feel that Chinese people are pretty good.

At this time, the lights in the cinema were turned on. The audience was still not satisfied, but they all stood up and left the cinema. When they reached the door, someone asked if there were any tickets for the next show.

There were several female ticket sellers standing next to the ticket counter. In front of the counter was a poster with a portrait on it. She was dressed exactly like the heroine in the movie they had just seen. It also said "Langsha stockings, $2 a pair", which attracted everyone's attention. There were also strips of black pants-like clothing on the table.

"We're wearing the same stockings that the heroine in the movie wore. Come and take a look. You can give them as gifts for your wife or lover. They're beautiful and sexy, don't miss it." The female ticket sellers shouted immediately when they saw the audience coming out. They would get a commission for every pair they sold. Although it wasn't much, if the quantity was large, it would still be a considerable income.

At this time, some people hesitated, some were eager to try, but no one was willing to come forward to buy.

"You can look at what I'm wearing on my legs. It's the same as what I sell." Seeing everyone's expressions, a female ticket seller hurriedly walked out from behind the counter. She was wearing stockings on her legs, which was also Zhang Feng's request. After all, this would help win the trust of customers. For the sake of money, these female ticket sellers are still willing to take risks.

Finally, a lady came forward. She was dressed gorgeously and was obviously a wealthy lady with plenty of money.

Sure enough, after asking the price, she confirmed that it was $2 a pair, picked up another pair, spread it out and gestured to her legs, pulled it with her hands, and felt that it was similar to what the beautiful heroine in the movie wore, so she generously paid for 5 pairs and then packed up and left the theater. After seeing that someone had already bought it, many people came forward and kept asking if it was really the same as the heroine in the movie. The female ticket seller insisted that it was the same. Some people paid directly, while others looked at it for a long time before finally deciding to buy a pair to try.

In response to this, Zhang Feng could only say that the items were the same, but he was not sure whether they would feel the same when worn.

That night, after two movie screenings, the cinema sold nearly 2 pairs of stockings.

The next morning, in accordance with Howard Hughes' request, newspapers began to frantically report on the movie released yesterday and the hot-selling Langsha stockings.

"The movie G.I. Joe is a box office hit." -- Los Angeles Times

"Langsha stockings show off a woman's good figure." - The Washington Post

"Langsha stockings, you deserve it." - New York Daily
All the newspapers that Howard Hughes paid for began to make efforts, and other Langsha stockings distributors also spared no effort to promote it. After one day, the whole of America knew about it.

Inside a KFC store, two middle-aged white men were talking while eating fried chicken.

"Did you see the movie yesterday? It was great. The main characters in it were omnipotent and so handsome. They knew kung fu, ha-ho, this and that, and they could fly planes. They were all sharpshooters and cooperated very well. After a thrilling battle, they successfully captured the German commander. Oh, God, it was so cool. I strongly recommend you to see it." One of the white men said excitedly. He became more and more excited as he spoke, and he kept demonstrating various fighting moves with his hands. His face was flushed and food residues were flying around in his mouth.

"Oh, brother, is that true? I must take my wife to see it tonight." Another white man said excitedly.

"Brother, let me tell you a secret. The heroine in the movie is very sexy. I have never seen her dressed like that. It makes me excited. I suggest you buy a pair of Langsha stockings for your wife after you watch the movie. After watching the movie, do that in the evening. You will feel very strong. Believe me, brother." The first white man said with a smile and gave him a look that said you know what I mean.

"Oh oh, I can't wait, why is it still morning, God?" another white man complained.

When Zhang Feng heard their conversation, the corner of his mouth curled up. It seems that it was successful. The tap water has come out. With their publicity, it will surely spread faster.

Because it was the second day of opening, Zhang Feng still came to the store to help. However, he did not ask Geteli Garbo to come over. She had been busy all day yesterday, so it was better to let her rest at home since she was pregnant after all.

Zhang Feng will only be here for half a day today. In the afternoon, he will go to Howard Hughes to check out the box office performance and sales of Langsha stockings after the release. Although judging from the performance of the two just now, it should be quite popular, he will not feel at ease until he has looked at the data.

These two projects that allow her to make money in a short period of time can be said to be more important than the KFC that he owns alone. Only with money can one feel secure.

Soon, it was noon. After he finished his work in the store, he left and went to the film company. He walked into the office and just in time, Howard Hughes was there too.

"Zhang, you're here. I'm so glad to see you. Our movie is very popular, and so are the stockings, haha." Howard Hughes said happily and gave Zhang Feng a big hug.

Zhang Feng pushed him away uncomfortably, but when he heard what he said, he realized that the mission was accomplished, and nodded happily.

"I'm happy too, Howard. What are the specific statistics?" Zhang Feng asked.

"We don't have much data right now. Judging from the data from several cinemas, the attendance rate of each cinema can reach 80%, the box office is 3 US dollars, and 500 pairs of stockings are sold a day, a total of 1000 US dollars. It will take time to get all the data, and we haven't received feedback on the sales of stockings from distributors yet." Howard Hughes said as he flipped through the report.

"Well, I was too impatient, but looking at the current data, it's pretty good. Let's wait and see after a week." Zhang Feng sorted out his thoughts and said calmly.

After discussing the follow-up arrangements with Howard Hughes and agreeing to meet again in a week, Zhang Feng left.

Although Zhang Feng was very eager to get his share of the money quickly, he also knew that some things could not be rushed and he needed to cultivate his mind and temper. Otherwise, when encountering some problems, he would be anxious and lose his sense of proportion. However, this was not something that could be changed in a short period of time. After all, he had never seen so much money in his previous life. It was like an ordinary person suddenly winning the lottery. He would definitely not be able to sleep for several days. When Zhang Feng has money in the future and the money is just a number, I believe he will not be interested in money anymore. He will remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of him.
