Because of a certain coincidence, realizing that the opportunity for his content industry to legally return to the domestic market was approaching, Gu Biao finally found more serious things to do in the last month of Qiantang sheep herding.

Originally, he thought that after the expansion of Red Bull's factory was over, he would accompany Mina to spend all day drinking, or wait for "Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Legend of the New White Snake" to officially start, and go to the set to investigate and rub oil and spend this relaxing time.

It feels good to have something to do.

"Although the game console and other industries are formalized and returned to China, it will not be until after the Spring Festival next year. However, the matter of showing goodwill to the relevant departments can be foreshadowed in advance. Human affection, you should usually burn more incense, and you can't rush to hug Buddha's feet. ”

On the night when he came back from the inspection with Mina, when Xianzhe was calm, Gu Biao hugged his sister softly and told him his plans.

Mina has also been a commercial counselor abroad, and her knowledge is naturally not shallow, so she responded softly: "This is as it should be, I think, you can first sell some American blockbusters to the relevant cultural departments at a low price, form a good relationship, and occupy the pit of 'authoritative figures on the introduction of American and Japanese cultural products'."

After a while, won't "Dream of Red Mansions" officially start filming, and the relevant cultural departments in the capital, or the production company of CCTV, will always send more important leaders to inspect and cut the ribbon. Since ancient times, film and television have not been separated, and maybe CCTV production companies have some general bureaus, or China Film Import Company, which have been transferred from different jobs.

You entertain well, let me help match, give some discounts - as for the name, I think you can pretend to be a repayment. At the beginning of the month, didn't you stand out for Ren Yuqin and lift some tables for Lin Daiyu's casting. It's time to give a sweet jujube with a mallet and clarify with the leaders who are going south: You are not right about things and people, if you accidentally refute the face of some units and let them have a large number of Wang Han, this kind of rhetoric, with your level, you still can't say it?"

Gu Biao listened to this suggestion and was very satisfied, and couldn't help but pamper Mina again: "It's really a clever plan, or my Xiaomina is delicate." Compared to you, I can only be regarded as 'knowing the general situation and not seeking to understand it'. ”

Mina clenched her fists coquettishly and slapped Gu Wei: "Young poor mouth! You are 'knowing the general situation and not seeking to understand it', then I am 'only concerned with purity'? When I can't hear that you are comparing yourself to Kong Ming, but you belittle me to Xu Shu!"

Needless to say, a counter-punishment is self-evident.

For the next week or two, Gu Biao went in and out with Mina every day, helping Mina coordinate the expansion of Red Bull's Gatorade production plant.

With Qiu Qing's strong support, plus Lu Ju and Director Jiang, these people were more or less influenced by the sincerity of Red Bull, and they did not do anything difficult again. The procedures for land grant, supporting facilities and construction are progressing smoothly.

As for the funding, this is not an issue, as Mina spent $30 million to acquire Gatorade from Quaker Cereal, compared to a few million dollars of investment in China, which at best would have built a large-scale juice and beverage factory with international standards of automation and hygiene.

It was about the beginning of September, and the day when "Dream of Red Mansions" officially started filming is finally approaching. Cadres from some cultural departments, as well as leaders of CCTV production companies and some other units, also came one after another to participate in activities such as ribbon-cutting and inspections.

Gu Biao also did some intelligence gathering work in advance, and knew who he was going to befriend, so when the day came, he ran to treat him very easily.

……

September 7, a Saturday.

A vice president surnamed Liu of CCTV production rushed to Qiantang to complete the two-day pre-launch inspection of "Dream of Red Mansions". (In fact, according to the sense of the times, it should be called "factory director/deputy factory director", but in order to make the name simple and easy to read, it is uniformly called general manager/vice president)

In addition to his assistants, he was accompanied by his wife, Ms. Hai - however, his act of taking his wife on an inspection should not be regarded as "rubbing the travel expenses of the public family". Because his wife was his former colleague, a middle-level cadre at the division level of China Film Import Company.

This vice president Liu was also from China Film Mouth, and he was transferred to the CCTV production company two years ago. And his wife came to Qiantang this time, and by the way, she also wanted to "investigate" the operation of Lanting Cinema here and learn the advanced experience of operating co-productions.

85 years of central enterprises to inspect the opportunity is a lot, there are advanced experience in the locality, it should be taken out to share and learn, next door Xiuzhou Bu factory director of the shirt factory, in the past few years is to receive tens of thousands of advanced experience of the inspectors every year.

Gu Biao's Lanting Cinema has beautiful scenery and so many rare antique customs, who doesn't want to come here to inspect any unit with a film and television mouth.

At the end of a hard day's inspection, when he returned to the Air Force Sanatorium near Daguan Garden, Director Hai personally scrubbed his husband and suggested:

"Tomorrow is finally the weekend, and I've been playing here for two whole days, so there's nothing to see. Tomorrow, let you get out of the car in Taili and cross the river to Lanting Cinema for inspection. ”

Vice President Liu stiffened his face: "What are you doing in such a hurry, you just have long hair and short knowledge." Qiantang is not as good as a few years ago, and there are still a few points of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the business is done. You should visit the dignitaries first, and then let go of the fun. ”

"How do you speak? Who is playing? Let's inspect and learn advanced experience!" Director Hai retorted not to be outdone.

The couple was plotting, but the attendant at the nursing home came and knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" asked Vice President Liu.

"Chief, there is a phone number looking for you at the main station. ”

The 85-year-old Air Force Sanatorium, although the conditions are already very good, still did not install telephones in every room. Maybe it's because I think I'm here to recuperate, and I won't be busy with too many things, so it's not necessary to have it in every room, otherwise the phone bill will not be easy to manage.

The people who live in the nursing home are all uncles, and they will definitely not give money when they call, so it is better to be out of sight.

Vice President Liu did not doubt him, and Dafang took his wife downstairs to answer it.

"Who are you?"

"Liu is always always, right? I Gu Biao, I heard that you brought your wife to inspect the work? Can you spare time to enjoy your face in the past two days and let your little brother be the host. Last month's incident, I'm very embarrassed, the crew's budget is so bad that everyone in Monaco knows about it, isn't this a joke for foreigners. Mr. Liu, don't blame it. ”

As soon as Vice President Liu heard that it was Gu Biao, he didn't need the other party to explain anything, he immediately knew the cause and effect, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, Mr. Gu is cleaning up the portal for our CCTV producers, and the casting thing has always been 100% not greasy, and we can only find out how to deal with it together, and pursue the elimination of evil." ”

Gu Biao smiled on the phone: "I'm embarrassed to say this, otherwise it's like this." If Mr. Liu has time, the inspection of the Grand View Park is over, be sure to take the time to go to Lanting Cinema to see, rest assured, this is what we ask you to do for consultation and advice, of course, all the costs are borne by us, but we can only be good food and drink hospitality, and the consultation fee will not be given. ”

"Do consultations? That's fine, you can set the time. Vice President Liu listened to Gu Biao's words, and felt comfortable.

In the end, it is a leading person who has drunk foreign ink, and his level of speech is different! Inviting people to eat and drink and entertain them becomes "please go to the consultation" and "consultation fee".

With the current situation of intellectual property protection in China, who would think that a few words should be charged, and the consulting fee is almost non-existent.

Basically, it will not be until after 92, when the comprehensive market economy is complete, and good ideas and strategies can be realized in real operation, and various "point companies" will appear, which can be regarded as making up for the gap in the business information industry.

Early the next morning, there was an official car from Tiankun Company to pick up at the sanatorium, and there was no need for CCTV production or China Film to import and send a car.

An ordinary Mercedes-Benz made Vice President Liu and Director Hai feel very face-saving.

"Yo, Lao Liu, what are you doing here?" At the gate of the sanatorium, an old cadre of the Air Force stopped and asked without caring about privacy.

In this era, everyone has no concept of privacy, and after living in a nursing home, the neighbors in the next room will ask: Which unit are you from?

The person being asked, if the answer is decent, is also happy to show off. If you are not so decent, you should also slap your swollen face and become fat.

After all, eating and drinking is not a mistake in everyone's eyes. The veteran cadre of the Air Force who asked the question was the one who lived in the suite next to Vice President Liu two days ago, and he had just gotten acquainted.

"A local film and television company has asked me to do a consultation!" Vice President Liu announced in a high-profile manner, not shy away from it at all.

After sitting in the car for a long time, he and his wife were still stroking the leather sofa in the car, and even the cold air of the car air conditioner wanted to feel a little touch.

"A film and television company that does business with foreigners is generous! Alas, Gu Biao has made blockbuster works in Hollywood. I heard that each film makes money from tens of millions of dollars. It's a pity that this kind of business has nothing to do with China. The head office only gives a budget of $500,000 a year, so what American blockbuster can you buy? I also buy old films that have been popular for decades, or fresh literary films that can't be sold for money. ”

Sitting in the car, Director Hai sighed.

After more than an hour's drive, Mercedes-Benz finally arrived at Lanting Cinema. Under the guidance of the bodyguard and driver sent by Gu Biao, Vice President Liu and Director Hai walked to the newly renovated hotel at the entrance of Lanting Cinema. Along the way, you can also see that "The Legend of the New White Snake" is being filmed intensely.

Vice President Liu glanced at it a few times and couldn't help but sigh: "This film was filmed by the production company of the Tiankun system, look at the hardware conditions, it is better than our CCTV production company." The scene in the city to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions" didn't have such good equipment.

The cameras are all pre-programmed camera movements, and we are still writing manual camera movements for photographers, how can they be so accurate. I heard that the automatic camera that was programmed to move the camera was invented by George Lucas for "Star Wars" ten years ago, and the special effects were particularly good. The first batch in China was also introduced by Gu Biao that year. It was amazing that I could afford to invest so much back then. ”

If Gu Biao had been at the scene and heard this emotion, he would definitely complain in his heart: Five years ago, your brother bought an automatic camera in the name of a Hong Kong businessman, and that was under the guise of the high-precision gyroscope and motion control chip required for the "Eagle Strike-5" of the Naval Equipment Institute! Do you think that your brother really burned a lot of money and had to use such high-end equipment to make movies at that time?

It's just that good things are bought, and in order to hide people's eyes, they have to be used.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
