China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 242 Bought an old bungalow

"I asked you to provide temporary support. It would be better for you to lead a group of people to attack other companies with arrogance. It is simply lawless. Do you really have no law in your eyes?"

In the magical city of Baoshan and the Gale Logistics and Warehousing Base, Jiang Liu was so angry when he learned that Zhao Wenhong went to Huayi to rob people as if no one was watching, that he could hardly restrain himself and cursed on the phone.

What you did was so out of tune.

"Write a self-criticism and put it on my desk. It should be at least 2000 words. No ghostwriting is allowed."

Zhao Wenhong suddenly had a headache: "Brother, I am Wenhong, not Dashan and Li Yong. I only know a few words in total."

"Even if you translate the "Xinhua Dictionary" word by word, you still have to write 2000 words for me."

"I know." Zhao Wenhong instantly withered.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Liu took a deep breath, exhaled, and asked Fan Binbin: "Do you like pets?"

Fan Binbin smiled brightly and said: "Oh, I really like it. I have cats, dogs and turtles at home."

"That's good. This time I'm raising a special one, a five- to six-month-old baby orangutan. You can rest assured of its safety. There are animal behavior experts and several breeders accompanying you."

The special effects technology is not enough, so we have to make do with real objects.

In "Apes" directed by Jiang Liu, the scenes where Caesar was a child were filmed with the full cooperation of the orangutans from the Shanghai Magic City Zoo, which is extremely hard-core.

Fortunately, Little Caesar doesn't have many scenes, otherwise the filming would be twice as difficult.

"Got the address? I'll go take a look." Fan Binbin asked very sensibly.

This was her second collaboration with Jiang Liu. She knew that once Jiang Liu entered the crew and entered work mode, he didn't like flirting with women, so she certainly wouldn't cause any trouble.

"It's an old house on the side of Gaolan Road. I'll ask someone to take you there." Jiang Liu reached out and called for the crew assistant.

This old bungalow on Gaolan Road in Huangpu is now his private property.

Old bungalows in Shanghai and courtyards in the capital belong to the category of scarce real estate in China, and most of them bear signs of protected cultural relics.

After the Shanghai Municipal Government lifted the ban on the sale of old bungalows two years ago, a real estate agent once approached Jiangliu and asked him if he wanted to buy an authentic old bungalow in Shanghai.

He refused at first.

He had some spare money at that time, but he had to guard against problems in the capital chain of Yixin and Gengtian Company, which were developing rapidly. Later, Li Yong actually wanted to take away millions of dollars.

In preparation for the filming of "Apes" this time, when the location scouts traveled all over the city to find a home for Caesar and the heroine in the film, they fell in love with this old street-facing house built in 1936.

The independent three-story old bungalow is adjacent to Zhang Xueliang's former residence and St. Nicholas Church.

The garden area is 280 square meters, the main building area is 331 square meters, the property certificate area is 364 square meters, and the price is only 2000 million yuan.

The crew needed it, the price was affordable, and after buying the house, he could get the money back almost intact as a loan. Jiang Liu simply bought one as a place to stay when he came to the Magic City in the future.

Fan Binbin went to the old bungalow on Gaolan Road, and Jiang Liu continued to pay attention to the primate linguists who taught Wang Baoqiang, Gao Da Mao, Wu Xing, and Huang Bo and others to learn and recognize the movement language of orangutans.

Wang Baoqiang and others only have a few lines in the play.

But the orangutan's gesture sign language made a group of martial artists pull their hair wildly.

Jiang Liu was watching in trance when he was woken up by the person behind him.

"Brother Liu'er."

Seeing that it was Li Yong, Jiang Liu nodded and asked, "When did you come? Didn't you say you have been very busy recently?"

"Yeah, but there's something I can't decide on. You happen to be in Shanghai, so I came to ask for your advice." Li Yong tightened his windbreaker.

"Go to the office and talk."

Entering the office one after another, Li Yong looked at his first office with emotion and then got down to business: "Brother, do you know Ma Yun?" "No, what's wrong with this person?" Jiang Liu He shook his head curiously.

"He has a company called Alibaba. The company's business direction is e-commerce. You can order items online and then deliver them offline. It is similar to Amazon in the West. Gale has been negotiating with Taobao recently."

"Discuss the delivery price?"

"Well, although Taobao's daily transaction volume is only a few thousand items, or at most tens of thousands, I personally guess that this transaction volume will never stand still, and e-commerce must change the express delivery model."

Jiang Liu took a deep look at Li Yong: "How do you know the transaction volume will increase?"

Li Yong frowned and took a puff of cigarette: "Didn't we first sell lunch boxes in Internet cafes? Compared to a few years ago, the number of Internet cafes in China is frightening."

"In Shanghai alone, you can see the signs of Internet cafes of all sizes every few minutes if you drive. The popularity of computers is too fast, and there are more and more Internet users. Correspondingly, the number of e-commerce users will inevitably increase. Transaction volume increased.”

"Private express delivery has also gone from being rejected by the common people to becoming familiar with it and getting used to it. The market share is about to exceed that of foreign express delivery."

"You obviously prefer to cooperate with Taobao, so what price did they give?"

"8 yuan per piece is too low. The postal service price is 22 yuan, and private express delivery remains at around 18 yuan. Gale and STO are competing for the market, pricing 16 yuan per piece, which is cut in half."

"This knife is indeed cruel enough. You and the company executives should weigh whether it is worth cooperating with you. I don't have any good advice for you."

Jiang Liu told the truth.

He himself does not understand the express delivery industry. It is the credit of Li Yong and a group of executives that Gale Logistics has dominated the Yangtze River Delta. He only provided funds.

In line with the principle of not pretending to understand and giving random orders when you don't understand, he was willing to let Li Yong and senior executives make decisions at critical moments in Gale's development.

Success does not affect his sharing of the fruits of victory.

If he failed, it didn't matter to him now. He just lost a lot of money.

Li Yong frowned and left. Jiang Liu returned to the original source and was busy checking for omissions and filling in the gaps after combining the script with the scenes.

This process lasted until the end of October. At this time, a large number of ordinary staff members of the Yixin crew came from all over the country and settled in the Wanjia Hotel in the Magic City.

In November, when the entertainment industry became extremely disturbed due to the huge affairs of Huayi Entertainment, "Apes" officially started filming on Gaolan Road.

There are only a few actors who actually show their faces in "Apes".

Fan Binbin, the young genetic scientist who adopted Caesar, the female lead Yang Li.

Tony Leung Ka-fai, who plays Fan Binbin’s father.

Playing the role of veterinarian and Yang Li's boyfriend, the character is named Xia Yu of Tangshan.

And an animal care center employee played by Huang Bo who frequently abuses animals.

Wang Baoqiang, Gao Damao and other Wu Xing played the roles of Caesar, Rocket, Orangutan and Silverback Gorilla.

Liang Jiahui and Xia Yu were able to join the group naturally because they signed a management contract with Yi Xin.

Now that Yi Xin has joined, Jiang Liu asked the casting director to try to ask if he wanted to have a role in "Orangutan". The two characters he gave may not have many roles.

But one of them is brilliant in his performance, and the other is the boyfriend of the heroine, who is also very decent and can be regarded as a very good supporting role.

Tony Leung Ka Fai and Xia Yu agreed without much thought, and the salary was not high. They were probably thinking of leaving a good impression on the new owner.

Jiang Liu's works are now attracting the attention of thousands of people.

As soon as the news of the launch of "Gorilla" in Gaolan Road came out in November, major media from across the country came in droves and surrounded Gaolan Road.

　There are only so many today, people are numb from the cold
