Chapter Seventy-Nine: "Transformers" and Toys

The restaurant is designed to be wide and spacious, with a comfortable style at home. The décor is bright and bright, and the lighting is extremely bright, rendering a relaxed and warm appearance. Warm colors are effective in increasing appetite and promoting consumption. This color matching also makes consumers eat faster, not for a long time, and increases customer flow. And on the whole, it is more relaxing, with a sense of leisure.

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Yixiu, Sun Monkey, Zhu Bajie, Astro Boy, Robot Cat, Underwater World...... These children's favorite cartoons and paradise pictures are hung on the wall. Newspapers, magazines, cartoons, and the like, not to mention, are placed in a conspicuous place and read at will. When Zhang Shaoping came in, he deliberately took a look, and almost all the children were attracted by the pictures on the wall and watched them to their heart's content, while newspapers, magazines, cartoons and the like were even more stolen.

Of course, a trolley is also a must, so that parents with children can be as convenient as at home. The ground is mainly non-slip and frosted surface, and it tends to be more humanized and thoughtful design. In the kitchen, Zhang Shaoping also changed into a white suit, put on a mask, went in to inspect, and found that everything was in accordance with the standard manual to maintain hygiene, so he withdrew.

After going around the restaurant, except for the bathroom, all the locations were inspected, Zhang Shaoping nodded and expressed satisfaction. Pan Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Sheng, do you have any suggestions for improvement?" ”

This set was all done according to Zhang Shaoping's instructions, and Pan Ming thought that the effect was surprisingly good, and there was no room for picky improvement for the time being. But he didn't think that he asked casually, Zhang Shaoping thought about it, and really said, "This table and chairs are too regular, neat, and will give people a sense of seriousness." Also, there are too few books and magazines, and the style is more. The service staff must be polite, smiling and entertaining, and must not be expressionless. Well, generators should be a must-have in case of power outages from time to time. For the time being, there should be a lot of things that can be improved, and if you find a little in the future, you will immediately improve a little for me, and at the same time, you should also welcome criticism from customers. ”

The two walked out of the restaurant as they spoke. Zhang Shaoping mentioned a few points, and Pan Ming wrote them down one by one.

Outside the door, Zhang Shao asked calmly, "What about the Transformers?" ”

Pan Ming was confused and asked rhetorically, "What is a Transformer?" ”

"Didn't I tell you to customize some cartoon toy models?" Zhang Shaoping pointed to the Mickey Mouse, robot cat, etc. placed in front of the door, "But what about Transformers?" Transformers should be liked by many people! ”

Pan Ming finally understood, Zhang Shaoping was talking about cartoon toys, and he said suspiciously: "Zhang Sheng, are you mistaken, none of the world's famous comics have Transformers!" ”

"No?!" Zhang Shaoping's eyes widened.

"Absolutely not!" Pan Ming said with certainty, "I'm just a fan of animation and comics, I've seen all the famous comics in the world, and if Transformers are famous, I'll definitely read them 100%." ”

Transformers are not famous? Joke! It's impacted generations and will continue to do so for generations to come! But since Pan Ming dares to say so, there is only one possibility, that is, Transformers have not yet been born.

"Oh, Transformers, in fact, they are transforming robots......" Thinking of this, Zhang Shaoping's heart was hot, and he explained absentmindedly.

Zhang Shaoping said it vaguely, and Pan Ming didn't care, just if he remembered it wrong, or Transformers was a comic book that was not very famous.

"When are the fast food restaurants in Shenzhen going to open?" Zhang Shaoping asked suddenly.

"Number 18."

"Number 18, huh? That is, the day after tomorrow. Well, you go down and contact Chen Guanzhong, and ask several leading actors of "Hero Huo Yuanjia" to stand on the platform for the store. ”

"Okay."

"That's it, I've already bought a train ticket to the north to the capital, tonight's car. North. Kyo and Kami. In the two places of the sea, the pioneers have already chosen the address, just waiting for me to leave to make the final decision, and there is no delay in time. ”

Leaving the Quanjiale fast food restaurant, Zhang Shaoping turned around and called Chen Guanzhong and mentioned a few words about helping the Quanjiale fast food restaurant stand on the platform. Then, he was instructed to place advertisements in his magazine, hiring talents in art, art, painting, toy design and manufacturing, as well as film and television dubbing, subtitles, singing and other aspects.

......

......

Through the party and government relations in Guangdong Province, Zhang Shaoping got more than a dozen train sleeper tickets. In those years, cars, planes, and ships were far less passenger and freight than trains. It can almost be said that everyone must train when they go out and live in a guest house. If it weren't for the relationship, the flat-headed people would never have been able to get so many sleeper tickets.

"Bang dang...... Bang Dang ......"

At this time, the train is still an old-fashioned green train, not to mention the old, but also very shaky, and it shakes up with a bang, and ordinary people absolutely can't stand it. The worst thing is that the sleepers and seats are worn, and they are as cold and hard as hardwood boards, which makes people extremely uncomfortable to sit on. Zhang Shaoping was accustomed to sitting on the Harmony bullet train and high-speed rail in his previous life, and now he took this old-fashioned green train that was almost eliminated after more than ten years, how to sit and feel wrong, and he even began to miss the general express and express delivery.

It was pitch black outside the window, nothing bright or anything like that, it was just dark. Zhang Shaoping glanced at it and felt bored, and the lights in the carriage were not bright, so he found that there seemed to be nothing to do except sleep.

"Hu, where are you?"

When he woke up overnight, Zhang Shaoping stretched his waist and asked.

"I just passed Changsha an hour ago. Zhang Sheng, you can sleep again. ”

"You don't have to sleep long before you die, you can sleep forever after you die!"

Zhang Shaoping sighed, then began to wash, went to the dining car for breakfast, no, it was eleven o'clock, it was lunch.

"Huh? Why are there more people in the carriage? ”

After returning to the carriage after dinner, Zhang Shaoping noticed that the other sleepers were full. He remembered that when he got on the train last night, the other half of the carriage was empty.

"They, it seems that a crew came, and they got in the car this morning, and they have been sleeping until now." One of the bodyguards explained.

Among the dozen people, Zhang Shaoping's bodyguards accounted for three, one was Chen Feihu, the bodyguard, and the other two were also in front of him. The rest are the family members.

"Crew? What crew? Are you from Hong Kong? Zhang Shaoping thought that he had met an old acquaintance in another country, and asked happily.

"It doesn't sound like an accent, Mandarin is very pure."

"Oh."

Zhang Shaoping sighed, lost interest, and simply leaned in front of the car window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The Beijing-Guangzhou Railway is nearly 2,300 kilometers long, passing through many provinces and cities. It takes about 52 hours to get to Kyo. The road is long, and the only thing you can see is the beautiful scenery of the splendid rivers and mountains along the way. Zhang Shaoping didn't know how many times he took the train in his previous life, and this time he felt that the great rivers and mountains of the motherland were indeed beautiful and magnificent.

When I got tired of seeing the scenery, I wrote a planning book, which was about toys and the like. Originally, Zhang Shaoping's trip had only two purposes, one was to go north to establish a branch of the whole family music fast food restaurant, and the other was to recruit some talents in comic books. But after a small episode outside the main store of Family Fun Yuexiu, Zhang Shaoping suddenly discovered that many ultra-classic comics, animations, toys, games and the like in later generations have not yet been developed. Zhang Shaoping originally intended to develop anime and games, and when he negotiated with Xu Xiaoming and others for the entrusted distribution rights of ATV TV series, he wrote a plan.

Now, now that he knows that Transformers has not yet appeared, he simply wrote a plan book for toys at the same time, and comics, games, and toys go hand in hand. As for animation production, he has been looking for opportunities for a long time, because the two theaters in his hands have been lacking in film sources and are losing money every month.

Don't think that if you master the theater, you have the right to speak, but the reality is not so.

Hong Kong's film industry reached its peak in the late 60s and mid-70s, with nearly 180 well-known cinemas and more than 400 privately invested and privately operated Chinese and Cantonese film institutions. When TVB was on the rise, the number of moviegoers suddenly plummeted, which led to a wave of closures of film institutions, and the chain reaction led to the bankruptcy of more than 100 cinemas, and more than 20 should be used for other purposes. This movie was at a low ebb, and it was not until Cheng Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" came out that it announced that it began to recover. Then the number of cinemas has increased one after another, and now, there are a total of 80 cinemas in Hong Kong, including 16 Shaw Cinemas, 19 Golden Harvest Cinemas, 18 Golden Princess Cinemas, 11 Shuangnan Cinemas, 5 Anle Cinemas, and the others are Reading Cinemas.

This illustrates the fact that without the source of the film, it is difficult for the theater to survive.

Like the Shaw Brothers' large factory system, it can provide sufficient film sources; and Golden Harvest and Golden Princess Cinemas, there are countless satellite companies under them, and there is no shortage of film sources; Shuangnan Cinema Line, very interesting, in addition to the left-wing film company and mainland films, it also specializes in some second-hand niche high-quality films to make a living, but strange things happened, these films almost hit the street when they premiered in other theaters, but as soon as they arrived at the film art theater of Shuangnan Cinema, they achieved a very good box office; As for the Anle Cinema Line, it mainly imports western films in order to maintain it; The rest of the Reading Theaters either operate concerts, musicals, operas, and movies together like Li Stage, or they engage in small movies or buy second-hand movies to play.

Production and broadcasting, the two are symbiotic and coexist. Zhang Shaoping saw this, and quickly revoked the idea of acquiring the Reading Theater, otherwise, if he has a theater chain but no film source, he will fight to death on the street. The Golden Princess Cinema Line also supported many film companies such as Xinyicheng at the beginning, so it survived. Zhang Shaoping planned to break the deadlock after the Spring Festival, so he set out to support several theaters and cancel the current package system that filmmakers hate.
