Chapter 151: Fengyun Comics Club
In the middle of the night, Wu Cheng called the California side reads();.
On the phone, Wu Cheng talked to Shirley Lansing about the company's work summary last year, and at the same time pulled half of the company's profits as a year-end bonus for all employees in the company.
Wu Cheng's decision, as soon as Lan Xin's mouth came out, immediately made all the employees on DreamWorks have a great impression of Wu Cheng, the generous boss, and their work is more enthusiastic!
After DreamWorks became an instant hit in "Rocky", they then released their elaborate family movie "Home Alone" on the Christmas slot, which immediately attracted the attention of many filmmakers in North America.
Even, some people have secretly begun to clamor for a boycott of DreamWorks. Because they feel that DreamWorks is a foreign film company.
Although the management and staff of the film company are Americans, its owners are Oriental people from the East.
Don't be fooled by the so-called democracy of the United States, the xenophobia of the United States is famous.
Otherwise, there would be no social problem such as racial discrimination on the Lao Mei side.
However, this situation is still only a small part of the situation, and it is not yet obvious. If Ovitz hadn't joked with him later and mentioned it, he wouldn't even have known there was such a thing.
However, Wu Cheng didn't care, no matter where he was, there were always a handful of people with bad intentions. Just like in the future, after the strong rise of the mainland, won't there be people on the Lao Mei side who are also clamoring for the 'theory of the Chinese threat'? This kind of boring thing, let the boring people talk nonsense!
I believe that after the release of 'Star Wars', those people will shout even more!
Thinking about what originally belonged to them, he was cut off by an Oriental, and it is estimated that there will be many people who will vomit blood!
After contacting several company leaders and some friends in California, Wu Cheng hung up the phone, then closed his eyes and sorted out the recent work progress in his mind.
In the days that followed, Wu Cheng's life became quite regular, getting up in the morning to exercise, going to work with Zhao Yazhi after breakfast, and going home together after work.
When he returned home, he either wrote songs, novels, or script outlines.
Now, he only writes detailed scripts for films directed by himself, and only writes an outline for the rest of the films. One is to save time, and the other is to exercise the screenwriter of the company.
In fact, the most important thing is to save time, he has to write novels, manage a company, write songs, and make movies after the year, where does he have so much time to write detailed dialogues?
Moreover, some dialogues that are not suitable for this period have to be changed, which is too troublesome.
As for writing songs, Wu Cheng now doesn't care who is suitable for him, but takes a thick notebook, writes down some classics that have not yet appeared, and looks for them when necessary, which is relatively simple.
As for the script, Wu Cheng did the same, first recorded the outline in a notebook, and then handed it to the screenwriters of the company's screenwriting department for them to fill in and polish.
At the same time, Wu Cheng also had to take time to pay attention to comic book companies, toy companies, and luxury goods companies, as well as supermarkets and instant noodle production companies on the treasure island.
On the comic company's side, Wu Cheng hired someone with a high salary to be a 'gunman'.
What Wu Cheng didn't expect was that the high salary he proposed actually attracted a talent in the future comic industry-Ma Rongcheng reads();. At this time, Ma Rongcheng had only just learned comics for less than two years, he entered the industry at the age of fourteen to learn comics, and now he is only sixteen years old.
But after Wu Cheng saw his information, he decided to train him. In the future, his own comic kingdom can be managed by this kid!
Wu Cheng named his comic club 'Fengyun', originally wanting to plagiarize Ma Rongcheng's 'Fengyun series'. After learning that this comic genius actually joined his own comic company, he changed his mind and decided to leave this comic to him.
Then, after thinking about it carefully, Wu Cheng took out the comic outline of the 'Transformers series', as well as the characters and painting style settings of various Autobots and handed them over, and directly nominated Ma Rongcheng, a boy who was only sixteen years old, as the leader, and let him be in charge of the production of this comic.
Wu Cheng's expectations for this comic are not very big, because he wants to pull the cornucopia of Transformers into his treasury first.
What really made him look forward to it was the Transformers toys, as well as future movies.
Although many people have some opinions about Ma Rongcheng being their leader, they don't dare to embarrass Ma Rongcheng too much for the sake of Wu Cheng's high salary.
Of course, there will be no shortage of small actions in the dark. Wu Cheng also wants to see how this kid will solve his relationship with these seniors, which can be regarded as a test!
Then, he handed over the outline of the comic "Crayon Xiaoxin", as well as the characters and painting style to his future sister-in-law Zhao Yaqian, and asked her to be in charge of the comic.
Although Zhao Yaqian has no comic skills, she is his 'relative' after all.
This is also a little selfishness of Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng believes that he has given an outline, as well as various characters and determined the style of painting, it makes no sense that they can't do such a thing as a 'gunman'!
Faced with such a heavy responsibility, Zhao Yaqian was a little nervous at first. felt that he might not be able to do this well, and he would embarrass Wu Cheng.
But after Wu Cheng talked to her, she became full of confidence.
Because she knows that her 'fourth brother-in-law' will definitely be on her side.
The comics of Fengyun Comics Club are still attached to the urban entertainment registration, which is very helpful for the distribution of comics. As for the distribution outside of Xiangjiang, that can only find another channel.
In addition to the comic company and the toy company have been established, the other three companies are still in the process of building a framework, the luxury company is selecting the products of the agent, and the decoration of the supermarket is also in the later stage, and the three eldest brothers of the Deng family are contacting the source of goods.
The instant noodle production plant is still installing the machine, and there are still some problems that need to be solved before entering the production stage. For this reason, after Wu Cheng contacted the three elder brothers of the Deng family, he simply asked them to create another logistics company, first, they have their own logistics company, which can deliver goods to their own supermarkets, and second, they can also deliver goods to instant noodle companies in the future.
During this period, there was no such benefit as 'home delivery', and the concept of logistics was not so clear. Logistics, in this period, is still very promising.
Of course, because of the lack of logistics, supermarkets need goods, and they also need to transport and contact themselves, unlike later generations. In the future, as long as you have money, it will save you trouble.
As long as you find a good storefront, those wholesalers' businesses, as well as the manufacturers' businesses, will come to your door by themselves. As long as the store is renovated, they will match you with the goods independently, and there is no need to find the source of goods by yourself.
The three elder brothers of the Deng family also had their own jobs before, but after Wu Cheng's 'flickering', they resolutely resigned from their jobs and devoted themselves to entrepreneurship.
Because the big cake that Wu Cheng painted for them is indeed a little attractive to them.
And now, Wu Cheng has invested nearly NT$10 million to let them set up a logistics company, and he also told them about the future development direction of the logistics company.
On the logistics company's side, Wu Cheng gave away two percent of the shares on a whim.
As for Lin Qingxia's family, after Wu Cheng knew that the eldest brother of the Lin family did not want to return to China, he did not give them shares in the instant noodle company, but gave them shares in the luxury goods company in Xiangjiang.
Moreover, Dad Lin is not interested in doing business, and Dad Lin has some small ideas, but Dad Lin is a very principled person.
However, under the persuasion of Lin Qingxia and Lin's mother, Father Lin did not directly refuse Wu Cheng's intentions, but only made it clear that he would not participate in the management of the company.
In comparison, the three elder brothers of the Deng family are fooling Wu Cheng, but they can talk to him quite well. After seeing that Wu Cheng was not polite to them, they and Wu Cheng also became casual.
This made Wu Cheng feel relieved, he was afraid that they would be polite to him. Because others are polite to him, he will be polite too. In this way, how can the relationship be close?
All he has to do now is to get closer to them so that he can prepare for the future.
This can be regarded as a little selfishness of his!
Of course, he also really likes that their lives can get better and better.
As for the little sister of the Lin family, after Wu Cheng talked to Lin Qingxia on the phone, he was going to send her to the United States to study next year, so that she could learn more things, and it was up to her to see how she wanted to develop in the future.
If she wants to join Wu Cheng's film company in the future, Wu Cheng is also willing to give her a chance.
After all, it's my future sister-in-law!
It's just that what makes Wu Cheng a little depressed and incomprehensible is that when he was on the phone with Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun, these two women didn't talk or laugh with him as before.
Wu Cheng couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. I just think that after the New Year, I should go to see the two of them, if I keep going like this, everyone's relationship may go further and further.
This is what Wu Cheng does not want to see.
……
In general, the time at the end of the year is always busy, and almost all companies are like this, busy making summaries, busy making various reports, anyway, busy.
But Donglong International and Wu Chengming's company are obviously very idle. Because in December, they were done with what they had to do. Therefore, January, for Donglong International and Wu Cheng, is no different from an ordinary month.
Time slowly came to the end of the year, on the side of the Feilong Cinema Line, the movie "Fa Qian Han" was still hanging on it, and after more than three weeks of sprinting, this movie that will become this year's box office champion in history finally did not disappoint Wu Cheng and won 11 million box office.
