Chapter 187 New Company, Training in Armament Haki
No matter what, this movie telling the beautiful love story between humans and mermaids began to sweep across the seas.
Beautiful love stories were always very moving.
Moreover, there were passionate battles and magnificent grand scenes.
Moreover, there was Fish-Man Island that sea people were very unfamiliar with and curious about—fish-men and mermaids—showing audiences from the seas the magnificent underwater world.
When had people on the seas, whose greatest pastime was usually just reading newspapers, ever seen anything like this?
It was only natural that they would be incredibly excited by it.
A trend from the deep sea began just like that.
And with the World Economy News Paper's promotional capabilities, it gradually spread throughout the entire world.
This trend was so turbulent that even those who had always resided high in the sky couldn't help but lower their heads to look.
"That movie's influence is unimaginably huge."
At the World Government's central hub, in the Room of Power, the Five Elders convened another meeting.
An ordinary movie naturally wouldn't be worth their attention, even if this movie was now sweeping the entire world.
But this wasn't an ordinary movie, because the person supporting it from behind it, is extraordinary.
"Brett is taking action again."
Saint Ju Peter sat on the sofa and sighed. "First making Fish-Man Island prosperous, then ensuring safety through his own military force, and now finally beginning to spread his influence throughout the world."
"Next he'll use various methods to gradually make people on the seas recognize Fish-Man Island, subtly and imperceptibly making the sea world accept Fish-Man Island."
"In the end, perhaps one day he really will relocate Fish-Man Island to the sea surface."
This would naturally be a great thing for Fish-Man Island, and even for the countries and peoples on the seas it wouldn't be a bad thing. For the government, it couldn't be said to cause any harm either.
But there was one troublesome matter.
"Fish-Man Island's constraints are becoming fewer and fewer."
Saint Ju Peter summarized: "Brett has already become a genuine Sea Emperor."
Why did Jinbei become a Warlord? Why was Brett willing to work for the World Government?
Because the government would protect them, the government would prevent Marine crusades, would protect them from the threats of monster pirates in the New World.
But now, where did Fish-Man Island still need their protection?
Fish-Man Island's military strength was already very powerful, and Brett himself possessed strength comparable to the strongest.
They no longer needed the World Government's protection at all.
As their influence spread further, the government was finding it increasingly difficult to control Fish-Man Island's actions.
"But trying to defeat Brett in the deep sea is almost impossible."
Saint Mars shook his head. "Military action would be foolish."
"Let's wait for next year's Reverie. At that time, try to give him a condition he can't refuse."
"But what if he's unwilling?"
"Then there's no choice. The world doesn't need a deep sea overlord we can't handle."
Fish-Man Island.
Three days had passed since the movie's global release.
The location was the Immigration Bureau building, in Brett's office.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Tesoro."
Morgans, who still hadn't left Fish-Man Island, said cheerfully, "Yesterday's box office has been tallied. In just these three days, the total box office has already exceeded five billion berries."
Five billion berries?
Brett's large body lazily sank into his spacious office chair, looking at the two men on the sofa across from him, both with excited expressions.
This figure was somewhat exaggerated.
The ticket prices Tesoro set varied in different countries—more expensive in developed, prosperous countries and cheaper in poor, backward countries. On average, a movie ticket was about five hundred berries.
It definitely couldn't be called expensive, considering a World Economy News Paper cost one hundred berries.
Simple division revealed that in these three days, approximately ten million people had seen the movie.
What concept was ten million people?
This world had roughly two to three billion people, which meant that in just three short days, about one in two to three hundred people in the world had seen the movie.
So what about ten days? One month?
The screening period was still very long.
Tesoro was beaming with joy. "I still have to thank President Morgans for your help!"
He didn't particularly care about the money—what made him happy was that he had indeed become famous across half the world!
As the screening period lengthened, he could become famous across the other half too.
"I think we can start preparing a new work."
Morgans said cheerfully, "Taking advantage of this momentum, a second movie would definitely be a big seller too!"
As the promotional and screening party, he could also make a big profit this time.
Though his life goal was all kinds of big news, he wasn't opposed to making money either—after all, he had a big company to support.
"A new work?"
Tesoro's eyes lit up. "President Morgans, how about we collaborate?"
"Oh?"
Morgans' eyes brightened. "Mr. Tesoro has this idea too?"
"I think we can jointly form a new entertainment company!"
Tesoro said with a smile, "I'll create the content, and you'll handle promotion and sales! We'll definitely make huge profits."
"Oh!"
Morgans excitedly stepped forward and grasped Tesoro's hand, saying with a moved expression, "This is wonderful! Our collaboration is a match made in heaven!"
Brett listened with speechlessness—both guys had ulterior motives.
Tesoro was thinking about seizing Morgans' industry, while Morgans was also thinking about using Tesoro to create big news.
"Wonderful! President Morgans—no, I'll just call you Morgans!"
Tesoro said with a smile, "Since you agree, let's discuss the details of our cooperation."
"But having just us two isn't quite right."
Morgans turned to look at the calm-faced Brett. "Wouldn't that make it seem like we're excluding Brett?"
"Hahaha, you're right." Tesoro nodded with hearty laughter. "Brett, how about Fish-Man Island takes a stake too?"
"With your participation, I'd feel more at ease. There probably aren't many people in the world who would dare disturb the Deep Sea Emperor's business."
Brett said casually, "Whatever."
"Hahahaha, then I declare the new entertainment company is established!"
Tesoro laughed loudly. "Hmm, the next question is what name to give it."
"Let's call it DreamWorks." Brett said offhandedly.
"DreamWorks?"
Tesoro's eyes lit up. "A factory for realizing dreams? Sounds quite good."
"As expected of Brett—what a good name!"
Morgans also praised repeatedly. "Hehe, in that case, I'll prepare to announce it in the newspaper!"
"Go ahead, Morgans! Let everyone know about our new company!"
Tesoro looked full of heroic spirit. "Let everyone know we'll provide the highest quality spiritual nourishment to this world! We'll also recruit people who want to become stars and help them realize their dreams!"
"Hahahaha, of course!"
Watching the two men laugh heartily, Brett only found them noisy.
There was only one thing he wanted to do now—training in Armament Haki.
