Chapter 44 Investing in "Journey to the West"
Wang An's son Wang Lie had already thought that it was a complaint about the dumping of Wujiang Company.
Since I can't fight head-on, I'll use conspiracy.
Wang An is an American company that has created a lot of tax revenue and jobs for the United States, and the United States will not tolerate the typewriter market being taken away by Borderless Companies.
"Dad, I finally came up with a solution!" Wang Lie said excitedly.
"What can you do?"
Wang An glanced at his son in surprise, not holding out much hope.
"Dad, we sue Wujiang Company for dumping! Borderless Imagine typewriters entered the U.S. market at a price lower than their normal value, and its behavior is definitely dumping! We have the right to use legal weapons to defend our rights and interests! Wang Lie said impassionedly, with a firm attitude and full of confidence.
Wang An was slightly stunned, thought about it, and felt that what his son said made some sense.
It's just that the head-on competition can't compete with the other party, so it's shameless to use this method......
This made Wang An, who has always been proud and conceited, a little difficult to accept in his heart.
"You... Let's see, I'm going to stay in the lab for a while to develop computers. Wang An replied with some evasion.
No matter how proud a person is, he will bow his head in the face of great benefits.
When Wang Lie heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Dad, you just wait for my good news!" ”
……
On Zhao Ye's side, Yang Jie, the director of "Journey to the West", soon came to the door.
"Boss Zhao, hello, thank you so much for your support for "Journey to the West", the crew is seriously short of funds, and I am worried to death!" As soon as they met, Yang Jie walked up to Zhao Ye with an excited face and thanked him.
"Director Yang, don't be polite, I'm just making a little contribution to my country's entertainment industry!" Zhao Ye waved his hand and said modestly.
Immediately, Zhao Ye asked: "Director Yang, I heard that the crew's funding gap is 3 million?" What can I shoot with 3 million, I think it is far from enough, I am willing to invest 5 million, if it is not enough, I can add it! By the way, I heard that the crew's food is not very good, everyone is filming so hard, you can eat better. In addition, you buy two more cameras, I heard that there is only one camera in the crew, how slow it is to shoot, and many shots can't be filmed. ”
"Journey to the West" was exported overseas and made a profit of more than 100 million yuan, which was enough to earn back.
In China, in the next 30 years, the number of rebroadcasts has exceeded 3,000 times, and if you calculate the revenue, at least 100 billion revenue has been created, but unfortunately the account is not calculated like this, and many TV stations have not paid at all.
However, what Zhao Ye wants is influence, you must know that "Journey to the West" was broadcast for the first time, that guy, thousands of people across the country, a household name, up to a hundred-year-old man, and two or three-year-old children, all of them are chasing dramas.
And the ratings are as high as 90%.
Zhao Ye couldn't help but imagine that at this time, his company would conduct joint marketing with "Journey to the West", and invite Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice to be product spokespersons, and the effect would be like a heifer taking a plane - it was awesome!
Calm and calm, I can't be too excited right now.
When Yang Jie heard this, she was really pleasantly surprised, and the sadness of the past turned into smoke.
"Boss Zhao, I really don't know what to say, I thank you for everyone in the crew!" Yang Jie opened her mouth, her voice was already a little choked, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Journey to the West" has been filmed since 1982, after two years of ups and downs, traveled all over the country, and suffered a lot.
Zhao Ye saw that Director Yang was about to cry, this Nima, and hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort: "Director Yang, you really don't have to be too polite, you have been thanking me for coming and going, I'm almost embarrassed." It's also because I like "Journey to the West" that I'm willing to invest in your crew......"
After talking for a long time, I saw that Director Yang's expression had recovered, so he stopped.
"Since Boss Zhao likes "Journey to the West" so much, do you want to play a cameo role?" After Director Yang said this, he stared at Zhao Ye, looked up and down carefully, and thought in his mind, what role is more suitable for Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye was stunned when he heard this, I went to make a cameo appearance in "Journey to the West"?
Forget it, my acting skills, I'm afraid it will ruin this classic.
In other words, the actors in this play are really well chosen, the supporting roles are all good acting skills, and the actresses in the play are all stunning beauties, which is really embarrassing Tang Seng.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but laugh.
In his previous life, many netizens said that when they were watching "Journey to the West", they only cared about watching monkeys and didn't pay attention to beauties. This monkey is really a stupid monkey, and after casting the law to stop the seven fairies, he turned around and went to steal peaches. Alas, my monkey brother, such a beautiful blessing turned a blind eye!
The majority of netizens and readers want it a lot~
"No, Director Yang, I'm not a block of acting, so I'm not going to spoil this drama!" At this time, Zhao Ye opened his mouth and politely rejected Yang Jie's kindness.
Seeing this, Yang Jie did not force it.
"By the way, Director Yang, you provide a passbook, and I will ask the finance to transfer money to the bank to you!"
"Okay, thank you Boss Zhao!"
Ten minutes later, after the "Journey to the West" investment agreement was signed, Zhao Ye instructed a treasurer to go to a nearby bank with Yang Jie.
……
In the afternoon, Yang Jie came to CCTV and thanked Guan Manshan.
Guan Manshan smiled and asked, "Got the money?" ”
Yang Jie nodded excitedly: "I got it!" ”
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and I saw a middle-aged man walking over quickly: "How much money did Zhao Ye invest in the crew of "Journey to the West"?" ”
When Guan Manshan saw it, it turned out to be Wang Fulin, the director of "Dream of Red Mansions", who came.
"Director Wang, you rushed back from the field so quickly!" Guan Manshan said with a smile.
Wang Fulin laughed: "As soon as I heard that an investor wanted to invest in "Dream of Red Mansions", of course I had to hurry back!" ”
After speaking, Wang Fulin turned his head to look at Yang Jie and greeted: "Hello Director Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, is the filming of "Journey to the West" still going well?" ”
Yang Jie smiled: "It's okay, although the process was difficult, it was finally overcome by our entire crew." ”
Wang Fulin was very concerned about the investment, and then asked: "By the way, how much money did Wujiang Company invest in your "Journey to the West" crew?" ”
"5 million yuan! However, ......" Yang Jie replied slightly excitedly, "Boss Zhao said that if the filming funds are not enough, he can add more!" ”
"So good!!" Wang Fulin said with a stunned face, and immediately became excited, "Then I have to go to see Boss Zhao as soon as possible, such a generous investor is rare in China." ”
After speaking, Wang Fulin was ready to leave.
Seeing this, Guan Manshan said, "It's almost time to get off work now, you can go to see Zhao Ye tomorrow, don't be in a hurry." Boss Zhao kept his promise, and since he said that he would invest in "Dream of Red Mansions", he would not break his promise. ”
"Well, then I'll go back to him tomorrow."
