Chapter 398 Siheyuan

Compared with Hong Kong, it is more difficult to negotiate with Hollywood. Want to copy Hong Kong's routine to discredit them?Don't even think about it.

Each of the major Hollywood giants has strong public relations capabilities, especially now that the major film companies have shown a trend of conglomeration.

The former richest man in the world suggested that James Whistler wait a little longer, and the mid-year financial report will be announced soon!

Almost all major Hollywood film companies are listed companies, and the mid-year financial report is a very important node.

Even if the presidents of major companies are unwilling, the shareholders behind them will force them to rush for performance and boost stock prices.

Those big stock markets are not ordinary retail investors. They buy stocks and put them there, but they want to use them as collateral for loans.

Yang Dongsheng almost forgot that he had been on Wall Street!
Chen Zhigang went to Lunan to deal with the problem of falsified accounts.

As the deadline for the competition agreed between Yang Dongsheng and various pharmaceutical factories and machine tool factories in southern Shandong was getting closer, their competition became more intense, and some people even started to make fake accounts.

This matter is serious.You must know that the financial personnel of each company are all sent from the company's financial department. Yang Dongsheng did not expect that they would be corrupted in less than a year!
Regarding the problems found, Yang Dongsheng reported all of them to the Public Security Bureau. This kind of matter must be dealt with seriously!
After staying at home for two months, Yang Dongsheng set off for Huajing!

They met Yang Huai who had arrived earlier in Huajing. Their main purpose this time was to purchase the online copyrights of film and television dramas such as "Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Fengshen Bang".

These historical masterpieces still have a taste that can be shot in mainland China. Compared with TVB and Taiwan, they have a strong taste of copycats at first glance.

The purchase of the copyright this time was mainly done by Yang Huai. He is now a Hong Kong resident. Otherwise, Yang Dongsheng, a bumpkin from the countryside in northern Jiangsu, would have been ignored.

For this reason, Yang Huai also specially brought John Smith and two white assistants for appearance!

Things went smoothly. Not only did Yang Huai successfully win the online copyright of the original TV series, but he also won the online copyright of many classic movies such as "Tunnel Warfare" and "Red Detachment of Women" at a very cheap price.

This happens because, on the one hand, of course, the mainland does not have enough understanding of the Internet.

On the other hand, in some people's minds, Hong Kong compatriots come to buy their films, which is to promote Chinese culture and enhance national cohesion. How dare they ask for money?
Neither of them expected it to go so smoothly, and immediately decided to send people to Shanghai, Xidu, Chang'an...to contact various local film studios and buy their online copyrights.

"Brother, I heard in the past two days that they are shooting "Water Margin" and the funds are very tight. Do you think we will invest in part of it?"

"Water Margin, who is the lead actor?"

"It's the one playing Song Dacheng!"

Isn't that the [-] edition of "Water Margin"?

Yang Dongsheng calculated the time and felt that it was wrong. It is still two or three years before 1998. Could it be earlier?
In fact, although the 43 edition of "Water Margin" only had 1994 episodes, filming began in April 4 and was not completed until March 1997. With post-production, it did not meet the audience until January 3.

Such a long production time is, on the one hand, of course due to high requirements and slow work, and on the other hand, due to limited production funds.

This edition of "Water Margin" can be said to be the pinnacle of putting the four famous novels on TV. After years of exploration, the mainland has already had quite a lot of experience in filming TV dramas at this time, and the technology is quite mature.

The point is that the actors are not paid well, and most of the funds are spent on production.

Later, although there have been more high-investment film and television dramas, the actors’ remuneration ratio is too high. Taking inflation into account, the actual cost of production is not as high as this version.

Especially for the masterpiece series involving Hong Kong and Taiwan people, no matter the directing level of the Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, or the acting skills of those Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, they are not flattering. It is clearly a national event, but the filming is like a gang dividing the territory.

A good masterpiece is often changed into a mess.

"I think it's possible! From now on, we can invest in some film and television dramas every year. We only need online copyright, and don't take too much of the investment!" Yang Dongsheng said.

After finishing their business, the two went to Huaqing for a walk. Yang Huai felt very resentful for not being able to take the Huaqing exam.

After visiting Huaqing's auditorium and those old red brick buildings, the two came to the west gate of the school, and Yang Huai looked around.

Yang Dongsheng thought to himself, does Yang Huai also know about Huaqing's Ximen Chicken Wings?

In his previous life, when Yang Dongsheng was recruiting with the company in Huaqing, he ate their famous Ximen chicken wings. To be honest, the taste was average!
Yang Dongsheng looked around, and it seemed that the Huaqing Ximen didn't sell chicken wings yet.

Yang Huai took the initiative to explain, "I made an appointment with someone here, and he has a batch of old wood to sell! Brother, you don't know that people in Hong Kong are now collecting old mahogany and old Pu'er, and they are going crazy!"

At this moment, a little old man came over, and the two shut up immediately.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Yang from Hong Kong?" The little old man bowed his waist, speaking Beijing-style Mandarin.

"Lei has something to sell?" Yang Huai spoke Cantonese-style Mandarin.

During this period of time, Yang Huai always spoke like this to outsiders, and if he spoke fluent Mandarin, he would be suspected of not being a Hong Kong native.

"Yes, yes!"

"Let's lead the way!"

The old man sat in the car in front of him and pointed the way. The car turned left and right all the way, and soon a tall city wall appeared in front of it, with a wide moat under the city wall.

Yang Dongsheng felt strange, they obviously didn't go out of the city, how could there be a city wall?

And isn't the city wall of Huajing demolished a long time ago, only a few gates and buildings remain?Where did such a complete city wall come from?

The car continued to drive, and after turning a corner, Yang Dongsheng suddenly understood that this is the Forbidden City!
The convoy headed south all the way, and it turned out to be going straight to the main gate of the Forbidden City.

Yang Dongsheng wondered next, is the old guy going to bring them into the Forbidden City, then pointed to the dragon chair inside, and told them that this is the old wood from his family and sold it to you!
If this is the case, Yang Dongsheng will kick him into the Jinshui River directly!

The old man did not lead them into the Forbidden City, and the convoy soon stopped in front of a courtyard beside the Forbidden City.

Yang Dongsheng got out of the car and looked around.

This courtyard house is separated from the Forbidden City by a moat, and further ahead is the famous Chang'an Avenue. The road is full of people, and most of them are tourists!
This should be the legendary courtyard house adjacent to the Forbidden City, right?
