Chapter 438: Surprise
Song Jiaying naturally couldn't leave as soon as he came, since he arrived in Hong Kong City, some things could be done easily.
For example, he happened to connect BGI and communicate with universities in Hong Kong City.
At present, the port city has not yet returned to the embrace of the motherland, but this is undoubtedly a thing, but it needs a procedure and process.
But politics can precede economics and academia, and it makes sense for him, as a professor at BGI, to communicate with HKU.
Bai Liu was busy with the things after Zhao Mei's filming before, and the filming of a movie is far from over, and the next thing is to be edited and distributed, etc., and it is even more troublesome to review it.
You can't do one thing and do it again, you have to do it synchronously when necessary.
For example, now, Zhao Mei has come from the mainland to edit the movie, and she and Robin are about to start discussing the issue of distribution.
"You mean, we're going to release it to the mainland?" Robin took a deep breath, "It's a little difficult, I think you understand better than I do, the ideology of the mainland is different from ours, and it may emphasize truth, goodness and beauty." β
Zhao Mei filmed the story of a wealthy family that kills each other, including the protagonist, all the villains, which is very different from the mainstream trend of expressing kindness.
Robin continued: "There is no problem in other places, as long as it is a Chinese-speaking area, the Chinese who can come out of the ancestors are relatively broad, and everyone is a bad debt. β
The feelings and grievances between Chinese families can be felt by Chinese people.
And as a large group of people, the Chinese are all over the world.
Bai Liu agrees with Robin's opinion, but she has her own insistence: "The domestic review is not as strict as imagined, even if there is, we can be the first to try, maybe we will need to cut out part of the content in the middle, but if it can be broadcast, we will win." β
"In addition, our team is mainly from the mainland, and their future development will be in China, so we have to consider their development."
Zhao Mei's filming of TV series in Hong Kong City was a whim, and she was more optimistic and familiar with the mainland.
The spread from the port city to the mainland will greatly enhance Zhao Mei's popularity.
Everyone has done so much that you can't drop the chain at the last step.
"I thought you were joking, but so resolute...... Robin hesitated and agreed, "Okay, I'll contact the mainland as a Hong Kong businessman, and we can arrange it at the same time, I heard that there is still a habit of listening to radio in China, and I also have people recording it." β
Bai Liu listened more and more satisfied, Robin deserved to be the manager of an entertainment company.
"Of course you can, you can arrange it all, and if there is a need, you can say it directly." She felt that she should fully support Robin's attempt.
She prefers to write stories rather than doing business, but she can take two steps on the road of screenwriting.
Robin smiled when he heard this, and said unceremoniously: "Then I'll just say it, Boss Bai, I need manpower, work space, and funds." β
He said with a grinning smile on his face, waiting for Bai Liu's approval.
Bai Liu laughed out loud, almost squirting out the water that he didn't have time to swallow in his mouth.
No wonder Robin reported in detail today, it turned out that he asked for too much.
Actually, it's also normal.
"I want to think about it."
The matter of funds is the simplest, she and Song Jiaying have now obtained a great right to use funds, and they are reluctant to let their children trap wolves, and there can be no return without investment.
The investment here is not only about money, but also about time and manpower.
Therefore, it is necessary to solve the office space and recruit more staff.
"The office space is more troublesome, do you have any ideas and how big should it be? If our company grows in the future, what other places will we need? In addition, recruiters, this matter is left to you, maybe you can find a few agents first. White Willow asked Robin's opinion.
Robin breathed a sigh of relief, it has never been easy to ask the boss for people and money, especially since their current profits are far less than their expenses.
"I have a plan, and this is my plan." He immediately pulled out the folder at the bottom.
"You've been prepared...... "Bai Liu likes this kind of painful solution.
The project book and the proposal look clear at a glance.
She flipped through the end and basically agreed with Robin's idea, but-
"There are two points I need to add, one is that it is necessary for us to set up a branch in the mainland, we now have a lot of mainland people among our core employees, and they prefer to develop in the mainland, our company has a publishing house in the mainland, and you have to take into account the development of the mainland."
"Second, this shooting has taught us a very important lesson, we don't have a fixed shooting location, and the cost can't come down. We should have our own make-up and costume team, plus a dedicated set-up. As for the places in the port city or the mainland, you think about it again. β
Bailiu wants the development of both sides at the same time, while Robin values the port city market more.
"The layout of the mainland is too early, we still don't know the preferences of the mainland audience, and if we invest a lot of money, we won't see the results in a short time." Robin smiled wryly, "That's my dereliction of duty." β
In contrast to the thriving entertainment industry in Hong Kong City, they have always been suspicious and mindful of the mainland.
"I think it will take at least 10 years for the entertainment industry in the mainland to develop. If you are interested in investing in real estate, of course, you can rent it out even if you don't film......"
Bai Liu thought about it and decided to compromise: "Yes, I will invest in real estate in the mainland first, and I can use it later." Here in Hong Kong City, we will put more energy into it first, and you can pay attention to the related work. You just mentioned investing in real estate, I don't think we can find a place in Port City, entrust a builder to build a house, and rent it out if you don't need itββ"
"It makes sense, there are many people in Hong Kong City, there is little land, and a large number of people are pouring in, and the future land and housing prices may remain high. In the next 20 years of development, I think the proportion of the real estate industry will be higher and higher, and when the cost of filming in the port city is higher in the future, it can turn to the mainland. β
Bai Liu listened to the business scriptures of the Tao at the head of the head, and gradually froze, she suddenly realized that the voice was not coming from Robin's mouth, it was a female voice!
"Jelly Beans!"
She stood up and looked out of the office.
She didn't close the door when she came in, and the company is relatively simple at the moment, with a conference room attached to her makeshift office.
If there is someone in the room...... No, no, it should be said that Jelly Bean just came in through the door of the conference room.
"Mom!"
Jelly Bean poked her head out of the door and smiled at her.
Bai Liu was both surprised and delighted, and never expected that Jelly Beans would suddenly arrive in Hong Kong City.
"You didn't say anything when you called yesterday, did you come alone, is your grandma still in the capital?" She looked up and down at the jelly beans, well, they were taller again.
Jelly Bean blinked: "Mom has a lot of questions, I can't remember, and I refuse to answer." β
Bai Liu couldn't cry or laugh in an instant.
Jelly Bean smiled: "Surprise~"
