Entering the restaurant, Zhou's father led the way in front and took Zhou Fangyuan to a large private room in the depths of the restaurant.

This is the only private room in the restaurant, and it is usually open to the public, but if it is arranged in advance, it will be used to find friends or colleagues of the third uncle, as well as the relatives of their old Zhou family.

The barbecue buffet will be a relatively ordinary meal in the future, not to mention the high grade, which is basically at the level of food stalls. But nowadays, this novel way of eating is still very marketable in Beitong, and many people who are not bad for money will also come to try it. The buffet is not fresh, mainly because the Korean barbecue buffet is a bit interesting, watching the sliced and marinated meat on the iron plate grilled with oil, smelling the aroma of the barbecue, and tasting the delicious taste that is completely different from usual...... To be honest, this barbecue is average, but this feeling makes people linger.

When Zhou Fangyuan followed his father through the restaurant, he casually looked at the dishes along the way, because what he saw was only the cold dishes, so what he could see was very limited. But as far as he can see, it feels good, there are pork skin jelly, cucumber and dried tofu, there are large mixed vegetables, there are vegetable salad and fruit salad, there is sauce beef, there is sauce plate duck, there is wind sand chicken, and chocolate marshmallow, etc., in short, it is no different from the barbecue buffet he was familiar with in his previous life, and there is no difference in cold dishes.

As for more dishes, he has time to watch them for a while, and he is not in a hurry.

followed his father into the box, and sure enough, the whole family sat there chatting and eating fruit, and when Zhou Fangyuan came in, several children immediately cheered excitedly.

But I'm sorry, they weren't welcoming Zhou Fangyuan, they were already hungry at all, and they couldn't eat enough fruit, but the adults asked them to wait for Zhou Fangyuan to come back before they could eat, but of course the little guys were looking forward to their big brother coming back soon. Now that Zhou Fangyuan finally entered the door, the little ones naturally cheered happily, because they were finally able to eat.

"Yangyang is back, come, come to grandpa's side. ”

Grandpa was very happy, and kept patting the stool next to him and letting Zhou Fangyuan sit over.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't refuse, he walked to his grandfather with a smile and sat down, his grandmother sat on his left hand, and the two old men surrounded the most precious eldest grandson in the middle.

"Dad, shall we serve the food?"

The third uncle asked on the side.

"Serve the food, serve the food, hehe, you see Huihui and they are all hungry, hurry up and eat, let them fill their stomachs quickly." ”

Grandpa said with a smile.

The third uncle received the order, and immediately nodded to the waiter who had been waiting for a long time next to him, and the waiter immediately took the order, and two minutes later, several waiters walked in with various meat dishes. When there are guests passing by outside, they still look inside, after all, everyone comes to eat the buffet and take it by themselves, how can I see a waiter to deliver food. However, this buffet is not the same, because this buffet often has all kinds of big bosses come to eat, so people who often come to eat have seen several times that the waiter specially delivers food.

And these specially delivered meals are not the same as the ones outside, everything is freshly made.

All the people are freshly cut, all the dishes are freshly washed and stir-fried, and their own restaurants have this benefit, and their own people come to eat, not only do not have to spend money, but also give some good things that other guests can't eat.

And the third uncle is quite good at trading, and he also spent a lot of money to prepare high-end seafood such as lobster and abalone, if there is a leader or a big boss who comes to eat, these things can come in handy. Now that the Zhou family is coming to eat, these things are also to be served.

Plates of all kinds of meat, plates of all kinds of dishes, as well as pizza, pastries, etc., children and ice cream, and other miscellaneous snacks, very rich, the taste is also very good, and the atmosphere on the table is very good.

Halfway through eating, grandpa suddenly put down his chopsticks and grabbed Zhou Fangyuan's hand, "Yangyang, tell grandpa, how is the training in the capital?"

"It's okay," Zhou Fangyuan swallowed the pork belly in his mouth, "Actually, it's mainly to relax in the past, and there are some business things to deal with in the past." ”

"Grandpa heard about it, I heard that you recently got a TV drama company?"

"Old man, that's called a media company, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, make people laugh. ”

"Jokes? Who laughs at me? Jianguo dares to laugh at me, or does Jianjun dare to laugh at me?"

Grandpa's eyes widened, and he said a little unhappily, "You old woman, I'm talking to my grandson, what are you talking about." ”

"Hey, Yangyang is your grandson, not my grandson, without me, can you have a grandson?"

"Alas, you old woman......"

Grandpa's eyes widened, and he was about to have a seizure.

The old man is good everywhere, just two points, one is not patriarchal, it is difficult for Zhou Fangyuan, the only eldest grandson, to enjoy such a different treatment from his grandfather, the second is that the old man can't drink, he likes to preach when he drinks, as long as the children and grandchildren have a little unsatisfactory place for him, he will blow his beard and stare at him, Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother's treatment will not be much better, grandpa starts a temper, and he scolds when he opens his mouth.

Today is a happy day, but you can't make grandpa angry, Zhou Fangyuan hurriedly patted grandpa's hand gently, "Grandpa, don't you want to chat with me, if you want to chat with me, just chat with me, don't divert the topic." ”

"Yes, yes," Fortunately, the old man is not really angry yet, and when he was interrupted by Zhou Fangyuan like this, he immediately returned his attention to Zhou Fangyuan, "Yangyang, you and grandpa have a good talk, that ...... of the legend"

"Media companies. ”

"Yes, it's a media company, you and grandpa have a good talk about what the situation is with that media company. ”

The old man is very interested in Zhou Fangyuan's business, basically as long as he sits together, the old man will definitely ask.

"Grandpa, this media company is actually a whim...... I came up with."

Zhou Fangyuan said about his idea of starting this company, "Do you remember the video game world competition that I did with that little boy of the Li family on Hong Kong Island this year? We invited many stars to the opening ceremony of the competition, including a treasure island actress named Xu Ruxuan......

"Xu Ruxuan, is it the female star who shoots the whirlwind kid? is it the one who is very beautiful and plays a student in it?"

My aunt interjected next to me and asked.

The whirlwind kid is really famous in the mainland, Zhou Fangyuan still remembers that when he was a child, the family would rent a video tape to watch this movie, and once again they rented it for a month, he basically had to watch it every day to meet each other, and other families probably did the same, so my aunt knew Xu Ruxuan, maybe she still liked her very much.

"That's right, it's this Xu Ruxuan, I met her at the time, but I didn't talk at that time. On the night of the opening ceremony, Brother Li had a banquet, on the one hand, to celebrate the successful opening of the competition, and on the other hand, to pick up the wind and wash the dust for me. At that time, Xu Ruxuan came to me, she said that she had a script, and asked me if I wanted to invest. ”

Zhou Fangyuan began to lie at this time, otherwise what would he say? Could it be that Xu Ruxuan took the initiative to tempt himself, and then he had a relationship with her? Just kidding, when he said this, his grandparents might be happy, but his parents would definitely go home and spank his ass, this is not a joke.

"So have you invested?"

It's still my aunt asking, my aunt's eyes are shining, to be honest, Zhou Fangyuan is doing the media company, his uncles and aunts are not very clear, grandpa knows, I'm afraid it's my dad who said it. So when Grandpa suddenly asked this question just now, everyone was more shocked, and now Zhou Fangyuan talked about this matter in detail, and the whole family stopped talking, including the two little guys, who were also listening to Fat Bi Na.

"No investment," Zhou Fangyuan shook his head, "I read the script, I don't feel good, investment is not impossible, although I may not lose money, but I'm afraid I won't make any money, there are many ways to make money, I don't want to do this kind of thankless thing." And the situation at that time was that if I invested, the filming party must be someone from Hong Kong Island, and as you know, if we want to go to Hong Kong Island now, we still have to go through various procedures, and Hong Kong Island is too far away from us, even if I don't go through any procedures, it is not easy for me to go there, I don't have time, and I don't have the opportunity. If I invested in this situation, I wouldn't have a good control over the crew and the whole filming process, and I don't know what the script would look like in the end, so I turned her down in the end. ”

"Then why did you end up with a media company?"

The aunt continued.

Tonight, my aunt can be regarded as a god teammate, and a few questions, from shallow to deep, passed on Zhou Fangyuan's words little by little.

"Actually, it has something to do with this Xu Ruxuan, after I rejected her script, she may think that I am a financier from the mainland, maybe she really wants to get some investment from me, and the next day she brought a new script to me to read, after I finished reading it, I already felt that it was not good. But we chatted briefly for a while. Through chatting, I learned that her development in the entertainment industry of Baodao was not satisfactory, and she went to Neon a few years ago, but her development in Neon was also average, so she decided to return to China for development.

I think her popularity in the mainland is still okay, and she is also beautiful and has a future for training. I also asked Brother Li about her situation, Brother Li, as a native of Hong Kong Island, he knows more about Xu Ruxuan, and through his feedback, I also think that this person is good and worth cultivating.

I just had some ideas in mind, and I also wanted to get a media company to come out, and it happened to be able to cooperate with my game company to convert between games and movies, so I thought, since she needs to be supported, and I also have the idea of developing in this area, it can be said that it coincides, so I got a media company, and she is the first signed artist of our company. ”

Zhou Fangyuan explained with a smile.

The surrounding family members looked abrupt, including Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, Zhou Fangyuan is their son, but Zhou Fangyuan is too out-of-the-box, he has done a lot of things in the past few months in the capital, and they don't know much about it, so now what extent Zhou Fangyuan has developed, they are not very clear, how Zhou Fangyuan develops, what he thinks in his heart, they haven't understood it for a long time, and now when they hear Zhou Fangyuan say this, they also have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"By the way, Yangyang, I heard your dad say that you are now filming a TV series?

Grandpa continued.

"It's going well," Zhou Fangyuan nodded with a smile, "This is the first time our company has filmed a TV series, although the actors used are all newcomers, but the level of these actors is very good, and the cooperation with the director is also very good. ”

Zhou Fangyuan talked about his plan.

The filming of the TV series is far from finished, and it has to be post-produced, and it has to be sent for review and obtain an operating license. Without this certificate, the TV series cannot be sold. There are two certificates in this, the first is a shooting license, and the second is an operation license. The second one is equivalent to sales qualifications, without sales qualifications, even if the shooting is useless.

As for how to issue, this matter still has to be handled by the company's people, Sun Jing has some experience in this area, but it is not rich enough, fortunately, Sun Jing knows a lot of people, as long as Zhou Fangyuan is willing to spend money, it is not difficult to ask a big man in terms of operation.

The specific operation method is three rounds of sales.

There are generally several plans for the first round of sales, or satellite TV simulcast, or satellite TV exclusive, or CCTV premiere, which depends on the attitude of each company, but as long as the level of the TV series is excellent and the operation means are sufficient, it is not a problem to sell.

Then look at the ratings to decide if there is a second round of sales, and the specific sales price.

As for the third round of sales, it really depends on fate, how many TV series are shot and directly killed, such as "Returning the Pearl" and "Journey to the West", god-level IPs, TV series that are regularly broadcast every summer, looking at the entire history of TV drama development, to be honest, there are not many that can be done.

Zhou Fangyuan talked eloquently here, in fact, he is also learning and selling, and many things were taught to him by Sun Jing.

But the surrounding family members are worse than him, they don't know about these things even more, and now Zhou Fangyuan said that everyone is very interested, listening carefully, and they don't want to disturb him.

After talking about the TV series, grandpa nodded on the side, "Okay, Yangyang, you have your own ideas, this is a good thing." Grandpa now wonders, do you have any other plans besides the TV series?"

"Of course there is, in fact, now that the second TV series has been launched, and I have now contacted Blizzard in the United States, we are ready to jointly develop a movie about a game, and the backstory of this movie is in a fantasy world......"

Zhou Fangyuan immediately said about his film plan, "In this movie, we will use a lot of special effects technology to strive to present a real world, but this plan should not be realized in a short time, not only because the game company is not fully ready, but also because once this film plan is launched, the money spent may be hundreds of millions, and if we are not ready, we dare not start casually." ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"Hundreds of millions?"

The surrounding family members all gasped slightly, and grandpa also widened his eyes, "What kind of movie does it cost, it costs 100 million yuan." ”

"100 million is said to be less, grandpa, to make a perfect special effects movie, hundreds of millions are possible, and it's not a soft sister coin, I'm talking about dollars. ”

“......”

At this moment, the family was stunned.

Hundreds of millions of dollars, equivalent to hundreds of millions of soft sister coins, and this is just the beginning, it may cost hundreds of millions of dollars, isn't that billions of soft sister coins, what kind of movie does Zhou Fangyuan want to make, it costs so much money.

"But grandpa, don't worry, if I'm not sure, I won't easily start this kind of plan, and it's not just my own investment, the game company also has to pay, there are other investors, you know those blockbusters, what we want to shoot is that kind of movie, and the special effects technology will be used more, the special effects technology is a bottomless pit, the effect is good, but the money is also very good, so we have to take our time with these things, now it's just a plan, just selected the theme, and even the script hasn't been written, if you really want to shoot, it may take a few years。 ”

Zhou Fangyuan is not completely honest in this sentence, because according to his plan, the Warcraft movie will have to be opened at the end of next year and the beginning of the year at the latest, and then it will be released in the most popular era of World of Warcraft, so that he can borrow the east wind of the game and make a lot of money. As long as the first part is successful, the second part and the third part, countless parts in the future are possible.

He said this just to keep his grandparents and other relatives from worrying.

But even so, the family was still shocked.

Then Zhou Fangyuan said some other things, such as buying a cross talk team, etc., when the grandfather knew that he had also spent money on traditional arts, the old man was very happy and smiled like a child.

When the old man was happy, the family was very happy, and everyone began to eat and drink again, and the atmosphere was warm.

When he was almost finished, Zhou Fangyuan went out to the toilet, but when he came out of the bathroom, he saw the third uncle standing outside.

"Third uncle, why don't you go in?"

"I don't release water, I just have something I want to say to you. ”

The third uncle glanced at Zhou Fangyuan with a smile, "Come, come with the third uncle, let's go to the rooftop to talk." ”

The storefront rented by the third uncle is a two-story building. The area on the first floor is very large, suitable for a restaurant, and there are only one or two small rooms on the second floor, but there is a large balcony, the uncle and nephew went to the rooftop, lying on the side of the balcony behind the neon sign, and the third uncle took out a cigarette and gave Zhou Fangyuan one.

Zhou Fangyuan took it, and the third uncle gave him a fire, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the fire, which was a kind of politeness.

"Third uncle, say whatever you want, I'll listen. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"Hmm. ”

The third uncle nodded, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the cigarette, "Yangyang, in fact, the third uncle wants to thank you, if it weren't for you to give me advice, we wouldn't know how to make money, you provided me with this idea, the third uncle really appreciates you." ”

"Third uncle, it's far away to say this, you are my own uncle, I won't help anyone you help. Besides, third uncle, you are also the director of the police station now, and you will be promoted to deputy director in less than two years, you are in this position now, it is not difficult to make some money, why do you say that you are so pitiful?"

Zhou Fangyuan asked with a smile.

He is not wrong in what he said, although it is not a good thing for officials to borrow their power to facilitate money, but this kind of thing is not exempt from vulgarity in ancient and modern times, China and abroad, after all, man is a very vulgar animal, and it is impossible to expect people to treat money as dung.

After hearing Zhou Fangyuan's words, the third uncle smiled helplessly.

"Yangyang, you only see thieves eating meat and don't see thieves being beaten, do you think that money is really so easy to make? I admit that when I am in my current position, if I am willing, there are indeed many opportunities. But you have to understand, first of all, this money is not easy to take, take it in your hand and burn your hands, and put it in your pocket for heartburn. And your money is not to do things for others? As long as you do things, there will inevitably be all kinds of troubles. It's okay to say that when these troubles don't occur, if they do, maybe one day they can easily overturn me.

Your third aunt is already pregnant, and it won't be long before your brother or sister is born, and you say, "Shouldn't I prepare a superior living environment for him?" Earning money can also achieve this goal, but what if one day I am really overturned, or even arrested? What will happen to your aunt and your younger brothers and sisters? Yangyang, your third uncle and I am afraid, so I thought that under the condition of trying not to affect my job, I can use some normal methods to make some money, at least so that your aunt and your younger brother or sister can live a good life.

When I was looking for you before, I really couldn't help it, I didn't know what I should do, and I didn't know what I should do, until you gave me this idea, I seemed to suddenly wake up, now you see, this business is good, right? I tell you, now my shop, a month can earn 20,000 or 30,000 a month, a year is two or three hundred thousand, as long as you do it well, our life will be guaranteed in the future, and these are all brought to us by you, you say, should uncle thank you. ”

The third uncle said with a smile.

"It should, but it's not necessary," Zhou Fangyuan was also laughing, "The family doesn't talk about two families, I just said, you are my own uncle, these things are what I should do, I am very happy to be able to help you, if you thank me like this, third uncle, you really slapped me in the face." ”

"Don't worry, I won't say this again in the future, even today, I know that your dad didn't tell you about it before, today you should be the first time to know that I have opened a store, just today, I want to thank you well, I will definitely not say this again in the future." ”

The third uncle patted Zhou Fangyuan's shoulder and said.

Zhou Fangyuan nodded, "That's right, okay, third uncle, let's not talk about it, they are still waiting for us, let's go back?"

"Go back!"

The third uncle waved his hand, laughed, and returned to the store with Zhou Fangyuan.
