"Okay, brother-in-law."
Seeing Nanaya's gloomy look, Lily hurried over and grabbed his arm.
In fact, Lily originally wanted to hug Nanaya, but she was discovered by Nanaya when she was halfway through her action.
So Lily finally had to change her target.
"Today is your rare day off, brother-in-law. You can't just stay at home and get angry. Let's go for a ride together~"
Perhaps Lily's cheerful look infected him, and Nanaya also smiled.
Although he was a little scared of some of Lily's plans, Nanaya still loved Lily, his cheap sister-in-law, very much.
After gently stroking Lily's head, Nanaya agreed to the request of the blonde girl with a ponytail.
"OK."
Since it was a ride, they had to drive themselves, so Nanaya left the Sera sisters at home.
He himself drove away from the villa with Lily.
The News Corp paparazzi didn't follow.
I don't know if it's because the task given to them is to monitor the villa, or if these people have no interest in tracking Nanaya's whereabouts.
Anyway, after several days of repeated investigation, Nanaya was sure that there was no paparazzi following him 24 hours a day.
This may be considered a blessing in disguise.
Nanaya and Lily didn't have a specific place they wanted to go, so after leaving the villa area, Nanaya just randomly chose a road leading to the suburbs of New York.
"Go for a spin in a business car."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lily complained to Nanaya, "Brother-in-law, your taste is really weird sometimes, or do you directors always like to be unique?"
"Because this is the only car I have in the United States."
Nanaya's reason left Lily unable to answer for a moment.
"But we should also buy another car," Nanaya continued.
"Sports car?" Lily's eyes lit up.
"The price-performance ratio is too low." Nanaya poured cold water on Lily, "I was planning to equip Sera and the others with one, otherwise it would be too inconvenient for them to use a car at a time like this."
After listening to Nanaya's explanation, Lily laughed awkwardly twice.
"It's boring, but I think it's a very brother-in-law-like answer."
Lily took out two bottles of drinks. She kept one for herself and unscrewed the other and placed it next to Nanaya.
"It would be great if you, brother-in-law, could buy me a higher-end sports car." Lily complained with a little regret.
Nanaya gave her a strange look and said, "You can buy it yourself, right?"
As a super popular female star, Lily naturally has a lot of income from various sources.
Nanaya knew very well that Lily was definitely a wealthy woman who ranked relatively high in the entertainment industry.
With Lily's income, and the fact that she doesn't have much expenses.
If you just want to buy a high-end sports car, then of course it's not a problem, and you don't even need a loan - as long as it's not a particularly expensive car.
Lily said coquettishly: "It's different~ Because it was given by my brother-in-law~"
"What's the difference?" Nanaya smiled bitterly and shook his head.
[Of course it's different, because the one you gave my sister is two wheels. If you could give me four wheels, I would be able to surpass my sister! ]
The girl with blonde hair and a ponytail silently gave a reason in her heart.
But Lily didn't say anything, but watched Nanaya carefully.
"What happened again?"
Feeling the girl's gaze, Nanaya rolled his eyes and asked.
"I always feel that you, brother-in-law, are very different from the traditional directors in the entertainment industry."
"Really?"
"Um."
Lily nodded vigorously. "Except for your problems with women, in other aspects you are more like a self-disciplined and polite Christian than your sister."
"And it's a little different for women, too. Other directors change their clothes after wearing them for two days, but you, brother-in-law, won't take them off after you put them on."
[What do you mean by refusing to take it off...]
Although Nanaya really wanted to hit Lily on the head, he considered that he was still driving.
For the sake of safe driving, Nanaya restrained himself.
"Dear Lily, if you really want to think so, just think of me as old."
Nanaya said in a tone that only he could understand: "Older people always prefer a stable and peaceful life."
The oldness that Nanaya refers to here does not refer to his body, but his heart.
After finally achieving success after two lifetimes, Nanaya no longer wants to live an exciting life.
Live an ordinary life, make movies, and be affectionate in bed with your women.
This is the perfect dream life for Nanaya.
"Brother-in-law, are you old? Why do I feel like you are trying to shirk responsibility?"
Lily's eyes moved around Nanaya: "Could it be that what Ori said about you, brother-in-law, being afraid of marriage is true?"
Nanaya complained to Lily: "Why did the topic come up with this again!"
"Well~ there are advantages to not getting married. At least I can't legally accuse you, my brother-in-law~"
Lily whistled, she said to Nanaya with a snicker, "Anyway, from what I heard from my sister, your body and energy are as vigorous as if they stopped at the age of 28."
"Why is it such a strange age..."
Nanaya thought the smile on his face was about to collapse.
Lily clapped her hands, and then suddenly said, "So, my still young brother-in-law, are you interested in wearing another little cotton-padded jacket?!"
This time, Nanaya couldn't bear it any longer.
He first pulled the car over to the side of the road, then pulled Lily over his knees and made her lie down.
Then he spanked the blonde girl with a ponytail hard.
Fortunately, the road Nanaya chose was relatively empty, and no vehicles passed by during the process of Nanaya's "violence".
Otherwise, after hearing Lily's screams, someone would definitely choose to call the police.
But Nanaya felt that it was because Lily knew that there was no one around that she shouted out on purpose.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why this girl's screams make people feel both "heart-wrenching" and "coquettish" at the same time.
All I can say is that Lily has developed a great voice through her years of idol career. Most people's oral skills can never reach this level.
Finally, Nanaya was tired of fighting, and Lily also cried out in exhaustion.
So the two of them could only drag their tired bodies back to the villa.
Fortunately, the scene inside the business car cannot be seen by anyone after the windows are closed.
Otherwise, Nanaya, who was under the surveillance of the paparazzi, would definitely see the scandal between himself and Lily in the newspaper the next morning.
Even though Lily scolded me harshly, I still had a pretty pleasant seven night holiday.
Apart from Lily's dangerous "sister-in-law mentality", this energetic girl who always has an angelic smile is a positive energy amplifier for Nanaya.
Of course, Lily's vacation time is limited, so she naturally can't always stay with Nanaya to rest.
The filming of "Inception" has not been completed yet, and she has to return to the crew to continue working.
Nanaya is similar in this respect.
"Thor" is about to be released and pre-sales have already begun. He has a lot to do.
The incident that leaked online was a publicity point that Nanaya asked Washimine Entertainment to hype.
But in terms of regular publicity, Nanaya also asked Washimine Entertainment's publicity and promotion department to increase its efforts.
How can a movie be guaranteed to be successful?
This topic has always been a difficult problem in the entertainment industry. If someone could list a detailed, practical, and eternally effective formula for movie success.
Nanaya believed that all of Hollywood would serve that man like Jehovah.
You know, even Nanaya himself wouldn't dare to say that his movie is 100% risk-free.
At present, the only relatively reliable way to operate is to approach it from two aspects.
One is the hard power of the film, which is the film itself.
The film's content, big-name stars, an awesome director and an unforgettable story.
These are the abilities of the film itself.
The other is the publicity and promotion of the film, especially the necessary exposure and publicity before the film is released, which is also essential.
Especially for summer movies, if they want to stand out in the almost fierce competition, then vigorous publicity is definitely indispensable.
During the summer season, it is not uncommon for films to have average quality but gain huge box office revenue with the help of publicity and promotion.
What's more, Nanaya thinks that the current version of "Thor" is much better than the one in his previous life.
In the end, the biggest problem for a movie lies in its promotion and marketing.
The six great forces encircled and suppressed Guan Yu...
Phew, when the six restrictions were imposed on DreamWorks.
They never restrict DreamWorks' film production, but instead strangle it in terms of promotion and marketing.
For example, there is a very unfair distribution agreement between Paramount and DreamWorks.
The agreement was so harsh that DreamWorks finally had to try to find Warner to be its distributor.
But it's still useless.
But doesn't DreamWorks want to distribute the movies it makes?
The answer is of course no. Who doesn't want to learn from Teacher Xu and clench his fist and say "I want them all"?
But although promotion and marketing seem simple, it is actually very difficult to do.
If you start from scratch, it will be a long and extremely expensive process.
The publicity and promotion is a bit similar to that of some Internet companies. A lot of manpower and material resources need to be invested in the early stage, but there is almost no output.
Nowadays, there are very few companies that start their publicity and promotion from scratch; most of them inherit the original publicity and promotion channels from other companies.
Just like what Washimine did in the past, in order to buy the United Artists' publicity and distribution channels under MGM.
Not only was Shion willing to acquire MGM together with Sony Columbia, he also bore most of the acquisition costs.
But judging from the results later, the money spent by Shion was really worth it.
You know, if you want to build Washimine's own film promotion and distribution channel from scratch.
The amount that Washimine paid might be even more than if he had acquired MGM in full.
In this "Thor" publicity and promotion project, the publicity and promotion department of Washimine Entertainment can be said to have made great contributions.
Without them, many of Nanaya's promotional ideas would probably not be realized.
Now it's time to test Nanaya's moves. The advance booking service for the first week's movie tickets for "Thor" has finally officially started.
