Chapter 43: Samples
(I may have to ask for leave tomorrow, because there is no time code, and when I go to Tianmen Mountain tomorrow, it is said that I will have to get up at five o'clock, so I can't sleep too late today.) When www.biquge.info I get home tomorrow, I'll do my best to make up for everyone. )
After two years of following Zhou You, Demosa is now clear about some of Zhou You's little habits. Seeing that although he didn't know how to speak, he ordered a lot of food, and I also knew that he was very satisfied with today's arrangement.
Breakfast bars in Spain are generally small and don't have seating. People mostly stand outside at the counter and eat quickly, or simply eat while walking.
The Chinese restaurant has a large hall full of people, half of whom are Chinese.
Zhou You has no interest in climbing his hometown, and in Spain, most of the people who bully Chinese are Chinese. As long as it doesn't involve the issue of jobs, most people in Spain have a good impression of Chinese Americans.
Because these Chinese brought cheap goods, they opened shops that were open 16 hours a day, which was convenient for many locals.
But small local factory owners and craftsmen like the local are hated by Chinese Americans, because their jobs have been robbed.
In addition to these people, it is often the Chinese who bully the Chinese, and the local Chinese gangsters dare not bully the locals, so they take the Chinese as the target of blackmail.
But the tour of their table is still very eye-catching, because Zhou You alone occupies one side of the long table, Sanchez and the driver sit opposite him, and Demosa sits in his lower position, occupying a narrow side of the long table.
Many people were watching the tour, but no one came up to greet him.
Demossa quickly solved his stomach problem and mentioned something to Zhou You, the chairman of the Autonomous Council of the Balearic Region, who wanted to meet Zhou You.
The Balearic Region is also a province that includes 17 large and small islands such as Mallorca and Ibiza.
The hotels they want to buy are mainly in Ibiza and Mallorca, so the importance of this chair to them can be imagined.
Hearing what was at stake in Demosa, Zhou You frowned and asked, "Although this company is mainly my investment, I have not participated in the management, what do you think is the main purpose of him wanting to see me?" ”
"Petra is a member of the People's Party, which has always been known for its conservatism, and if he tries to get in the way of our investment plans, it will be very difficult for our plans to succeed."
"I understand that, I mean, does he want something good or something else?"
Demossa laughed and said: "When it comes to rent-seeking for power, politicians all over the world are probably the same. The key is to see if his appetite is big or not, and whether it will touch our bottom line. ”
"Did he specify where we met?"
"He didn't say it explicitly, but I personally think he didn't want anyone else to know about it."
Zhou You thought for a moment and said: "If I see him in Mallorca, it will be too conspicuous, and I will go to England in two days, and if I meet him there, it should not alarm anyone." ”
Demosa nodded and said, "I'll arrange this." ”
Separated from Demosa, Zhou You took them on a drive to Spanish national television.
Spanish television stations are located in Ibiza, to the east of the city, but they travel around Moncloa, west of the city, almost all of Madrid.
When I came to the TV station, it was already nine o'clock, but the lazy Spaniard had just gone to work at this time.
called Orti, and she waited at the door of the TV station, helped Zhou You go through the formalities, and entered the inside of the TV station.
I saw this dilapidated white building with only five floors, and the roof was covered with cauldrons, and the TV station signal building that looked like a water tower. Zhou You really thinks that their national TV station is not much better than CCTV, not to mention that it is not much better than the domestic county TV station.
After entering the sample studio, Zhou You exchanged a few words with several leaders of the production department and the news department, and they left one by one, leaving only Ortie and a few editors on the scene.
Orti poured a cup of coffee for Zhou You, who sat down on a comfortable single sofa and watched the documentary they had edited out earnestly.
Unlike the documentaries that began to sell, this time it was mainly about the underwater scenery, and when the Mercedes was discovered, the whole film ended.
This time, the program is about the discovery of the Mercedes and the current salvage situation. The main shooting angle was placed on each salvage person, each on-site staff.
Of course, the main prominence here was the Spaniards, and the crew did not show much of their faces. The best stars on board are not one person, but two robots.
Liang Hao, as one of the robot operators, has been working underwater, so he gives the most shots.
In the sample films that have been edited so far, the picture of Yu Qiang's accident has also been put in, in order to attract more audiences, and it also indirectly illustrates the danger of deep-sea salvage.
Zhou You has no opinion on this, and he also needs these to warn the other crew members, and not to be careless at any time.
At present, the Mercedes has not been salvaged completely, so this time only the first half of the production has been made, with a total of twelve levels, each of which lasts thirty minutes.
In this process, Zhou You only appeared in a short period of less than ten minutes, a total of less than fifty shots, and it must be indispensable to have him.
This is also a requirement of Zhou You, he doesn't want to be recognized everywhere he goes, like those movie stars.
Those celebrities need exposure, they need to eat with their faces, but he doesn't need them. Therefore, he does not allow his face to appear clearly in the frame unless necessary.
In this 360-minute video, Zhou You never left the room except for going to the toilet once, and even the lunch was a boxed lunch ordered by Orti for him.
Indeed, as she said, it was extremely unpalatable.
The purpose of Zhou You's review of films is on the one hand to prevent his image from appearing too much, on the other hand, to prevent them from discrediting themselves, and on the other hand, not to expose too many secrets on the ship.
Maybe it's because Orti rolled the sheets with herself, so she takes extra care of herself, and after watching the whole video, Zhou You is quite satisfied, and there is not much place to put her beak.
After the review is over, the TV station is about to leave work, but several relevant leaders have not left yet, waiting for Zhou You to sign a formal licensing contract with them.
Only with the authorization of Zhouyou, there will be no copyright disputes, and only then can we start selling to the outside world.
And their profits in this film have a 30% share of Zhou You, which is actually a lot.
The first six episodes sold more than 10 million US dollars, and the current twelfth level can sell at least 20 million, as well as the advertising fees for their own broadcasts, even if the income of Zhou You is not 10 million, it is not too much.
The contract had already been drawn up, and after Demosa's review, the two sides quickly signed a formal contract.
Subsequently, the leaders of Spanish TV came forward and also held a lively cocktail party for this cooperation.
The reception was held at the Castello Femira Hotel, diagonally opposite the TV station, the scale was not large, but the grade was not low, and everyone who participated was either a leader or a celebrity in Spain, including famous hosts such as Orti, and many TV actors.
But Orti regards Zhou You as a forbidden side, and the others are better, as long as it is a host who competes with her, she is on guard like a thief, which makes Zhou You cry and laugh.
He knows that this industry is very competitive, and he also knows that many hosts or actors are superficial, but only when he has personally contacted this circle can he know how dirty and cruel this circle is.
Moreover, Orti is the future princess, if she knew that she would meet Prince Felipe next year and marry him in three years, she would not be so careful!
The party was about to end, and Orti was also a little drunk, holding Zhou You's arm, her body had crossed the line of etiquette, and she was only close to Zhou You.
"We had a lot of fun tonight, or we can find a place to celebrate after the party is over."
Zhou You sighed and said, "I also want to stay, but Roa is going to France tomorrow, and I want to see her off." ”
Orti gave him a blank look. "Did you really get her to bed too?"
"As much as I would love to admit it, the truth is that I was played with and used by her."
"What happened?"
Zhou You told her the story of what happened to Luo Ah from beginning to end, which made her laugh proudly. "This is the best news I've heard today, and I'm going to toast to her ease."
Taking a sip of the wine from the cup, she smiled and said, "Then I will let you go today, but next time, I need you to take me to heaven again." ”
"Maybe hell!"
Although the drinking party is over, Zhou You's stomach is still hungry. Back in Moncloa, Zhou You called Roa and invited her to have a supper with him.
Roa quickly went downstairs with a look of displeasure on his face. "I don't need you to arrange my life for me, I don't need any bodyguards, I don't need any servants, I just want to stay alone in an undisturbed environment and concentrate on writing my novels."
"Have you seen 'I Spit on Your Grave'? What kind of fate is the female writer facing there? You don't think you need to, but I hope you don't deny my concern. I assure you, they won't harass your life. ”
She pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't you go to see Letizia today?" Why do you come back to me? I can't go crazy with you tonight. ”
Zhou You shook her head, although she was already giving in, she still refused to admit defeat in front of Zhou You. "In addition to madness, I will also have very gentle times, and when you are about to leave tomorrow, of course I will accompany you."
"But she's prettier."
Zhou You touched her face and said gently: "For me, you are another beauty that makes my heart flutter, no less than Letizia. ”
After experiencing the madness of Zhou You, she suddenly faced the gentleness of Zhou You, but she was a little unaccustomed to it, and she became a little at a loss. She said with some whirlwind, "Aren't you going to have a supper?" I know of a restaurant that has very good turkish kebab. ”
Seeing her so cute, Zhou You couldn't help but smile proudly. (To be continued.) )
