Chapter 1766: Chapter 1613: Interdimensional Entertainment Tycoon 43

The Hundred Families Village has changed dramatically in the past two years. Ever since the movie was filmed, Jian Shuangshuang enlisted all the villagers as extras, paying them generously.

After the filming was over, the families who received special care from Jian Shuangshuang and helped her saved at least two Gold Coins worth of wealth.

Even those who didn’t help Jian Shuangshuang saved at least sixty or seventy silver coins. Jian Shuangshuang isn’t a resentful person. People helping her was a favor, and not helping was their duty.

After all, everyone was poor, every household was hungry, if they squeezed out food for Jian Shuangshuang’s family, they’d be even hungrier. Not giving was also reasonable.

Besides, these people didn’t help Jian Shuangshuang, but they didn’t bully her either. There were no grudges, and they were all from the same village. Helping them wasn’t difficult, so Jian Shuangshuang helped them too.

Of course, the main benefits were for the families that did help her. Otherwise, it would chill the hearts of those who truly helped Jian Shuangshuang. Now it’s just right; everyone praises Jian Shuangshuang for her benevolence and gratitude.

The villagers have money now. Not only can every family eat well and stay warm, but they can also eat meat, build new houses, which Jian Shuangshuang personally designed. The engineering team used for building them was the same one that built the filming sets.

These were people familiar with Jian Shuangshuang. They charged affordable rates for the houses, completed the work quickly, and the houses were neatly arranged, with streets wide enough.

Now the entire Hundred Families Village looks neat and clean. At a glance, it’s clearly a prosperous village, and the people regard Jian Shuangshuang as if she were a Heavenly God. As soon as Jian Shuangshuang returned today, everyone outside immediately gathered around.

However, before their enthusiasm could build, they were startled by Xuan Fire’s curious peeking from the car roof, sending them scattering like bees, with several people even falling over.

Jian Shuangshuang quickly helped each person up and reassured them, "Everyone need not worry, Xuan Fire isn’t an ordinary beast. It’s a spirit beast with Spiritual Wisdom; it won’t harm anyone, so don’t be afraid."

The villagers knew what spirit beasts were because spirit beasts are fundamentally different from ordinary beasts. In legends, powerful cultivators always had a spirit beast accompanying them.

Compared to the fearsome beasts, people weren’t afraid of spirit beasts because they consistently had a positive image.

Though they knew spirit beasts wouldn’t hurt people, Xuan Fire’s enormous size was still intimidating. People were curious and wanted to approach, yet too frightened to get close.

Jian Shuangshuang answered a range of questions from the villagers and let them observe Xuan Fire for a while, eventually satisfying their curiosity.

She brought Xuan Fire home and asked it, "Xuan Fire, do you like it here? If you don’t, just tell me, I’ll build a separate house suiting your lifestyle."

Jian Shuangshuang understood what modern snakes liked, but she truly didn’t know what kind of living environment a snake spirit beast preferred.

Xuan Fire nodded its big head, rubbing against Jian Shuangshuang’s hand, indicating that it did like this place. The mountains and forests around the Hundred Families Village suited Xuan Fire far more than Yan City, bringing it joy.

Jian Shuangshuang’s first task upon returning home was to cook a grand meal with Feng Ying and Du Ying, celebrating Du Xinning’s cultivation talent.

Additionally, Jian Shuangshuang planned to examine Du Xinning’s meridians and bones to create a Cultivation Method for her. Feng Ying and Du Ying were ecstatic, making more than a dozen large dishes.

The two of them put aside their fear of Xuan Fire, personally preparing a bunch of fresh meats, cutting and deboning them, offering extras to Xuan Fire.

Xuan Fire is a snake, and although it was raised by Fan Chusheng to enjoy cooked food, its nature prefers fresh blood meals if given the choice.

Feng Ying and Du Ying thoughtfully prepared a heap of grilled meat and raw meat, both available so Xuan Fire could eat conveniently.

Crafting a Cultivation Method for Du Xinning was simple. Jian Shuangshuang took less than three days to complete it, and shortly after, Zang Lin returned from Yan City.

This time, Zang Lin managed to settle his film continuation issues and brought back the first batch of movie ticket proceeds for Jian Shuangshuang.

In Wujia Town, Jian Shuangshuang obtained the exclusive movie ticket sales. She had already calculated; just half a month into the screening, she earned ninety-eight Purple Gold Coins, which almost covered her filming expenses.

The real surprise was the earnings Zang Lin brought her. In just half a month, Yan City alone brought Jian Shuangshuang a thousand Purple Gold Coins in revenue, even after giving half to Zang Lin.

The enthusiastic celebration from the first movie and the generous earnings from being the first to venture in, allowed Jian Shuangshuang to earn substantial profits.

And this was only the revenue from the first half-month. The movie could continue screening until Jian Shuangshuang’s next film, during which the ticket prices halved but would still attract viewers.

Even before that, Jian Shuangshuang planned to sign a contract with Zang Lin to formally promote the movies across the entire Lin Country, expanding her audience, thus increasing profits.

The Zang Family has deep roots; being also a Xuan Medical Family means a broad network, and the theaters opened by the Zang Family have excellent returns. Even if others are envious, they don’t dare make any moves—ideal partners.

Jian Shuangshuang makes movies and releases them, while the Zang Family takes charge of constructing cinemas nationwide and screening the films. In the technologically advanced modern society, building a cinema isn’t a trivial task.

But in this world, the cost to build a powerful cinema is still cheaper than a single Second-level Spirit Grass. Compared to the earnings from movies, building cinemas is practically a minor expense.

This is truly a world where the rich are exceptionally wealthy while the poor remain destitute, but fortunately, the so-called impoverished aren’t struggling to the extent of not being able to eat like the Hundred Families Village.

Most people in this world manage to live decently, far better than many ancient timelines. It’s just that ordinary people can’t match the affluent state of cultivators.

Jian Shuangshuang had the idea to collaborate with the Zang Family long ago, but before the movie earnings were seen, proposing business deals with them was mere talk and might even be viewed as boasting.

Now, there’s evidence, and the Zang Family understands just how profitable Jian Shuangshuang’s movie is. Discussing collaboration now would mean the Zang Family takes it seriously, giving Jian Shuangshuang more favorable terms.

Of course, Jian Shuangshuang isn’t someone to make exorbitant demands. Income could continue to split fifty-fifty. She focuses on making movies while the Zang Family handles all other details.

But before Jian Shuangshuang could figure out how to broach the subject to Zang Lin, he proactively approached her, already carrying a cooperation contract.
