Chapter 244 Happy Wood Carving Factory Joint Production!
"I am, hello, Director Yang." Zhang Gaoxing stretched out his hand.
After the two shook hands.
"Can you really sponsor the follow-up filming of "Journey to the West"?" Director Yang, who came from the imperial capital, asked in disbelief.
You should know that the shooting funds for "Journey to the West" are above one million. A young man in front of him would not have deceived him, so he would have come so far to start swiping.
"I..."
"Ahem..."
Zhang Gaoxing almost exposed the situation in front of this woman.
In this woman in her fifties, he instantly turned himself into the age of an old man in his sixties in his previous life.
"...Of course, the first eleven episodes of "Journey to the West" were filmed so well, and my family wanted to watch the follow-up. You did it well, but suddenly there was no one behind me, my grandparents, younger brothers and sisters, they were yelling when they would see the next episodes of "Journey to the West"."
"I feel sincerely happy to be loved by Boss Zhang's family." Director Yang said with a smile.
"Director Yang made a classic film. I remember that your Journey to the West will affect the growth of our generations of Chinese people."
"Boss Zhang is Miaozan."
Zhang Gaoxing is not exaggerated at all. The filming of "Journey to the West" is an important feeling in the hearts of many Chinese people in China. Journey to the West culture is an important microcosm of many local myths. This culture has influenced many generations like Chinese soft culture. Even if thirty years have passed, it will not only shine brightly in China, but also shining cultural brands have landed in many countries.
"Journey to the West" has also influenced generations of entrepreneurs in reform and opening up. As a businessman, Zhang Gaoxing felt that Journey to the West gave him a different feeling now.
From his vision, it feels like the four masters and apprentices in Journey to the West are like "entrepreneurial teams".
For some reason, in front of Director Yang, Zhang Gaoxing became a chatterbox. He probably psychologically felt that Director Yang was his "peer".
You can communicate freely.
It is not appropriate to say anything else, so Zhang Gaoxing simply talks about the chemical reactions that Journey to the West and himself in this life.
"Director Yang, do you know that in my eyes, Tang Seng and his disciples all look like entrepreneurs."
This statement is really new to Yang Jie. She photographed a mythological story. What does it have to do with the current private owners? No, right?
So, she said in confusion, "Boss Zhang, what do you say?"
"You see, although we are promoting a market economy now, aren't we private bosses and private enterprises still discriminated against? There is no good policy support, and we are still looked down upon. State-owned enterprises are just good. Our private enterprises are growing wildly now. Sun Wukong is like an entrepreneur, challenging unreasonable rules until Buddha led a correct way to abide by the rules and seeking the West. We now hope that the country will support our private enterprises more policies, at least not discriminate."
Although private enterprises are now recognized by the state, it is still embarrassing to work in private factories in many cities in China. Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the sky. Before doing business, he was a speculator and a serious crime. Now commercial banks still have strict restrictions on private enterprise loans. Even by 1992, commercial banks still stipulated that private enterprise loans should not exceed 20,000, otherwise it would be considered a "discipline violation".
Director Yang nodded, and Zhang Gaoxing continued, "Tang Monk is also like an entrepreneur. He has a firm belief and believes that he will definitely succeed in learning the scriptures. Even if there are many difficulties and dangers, our private enterprise bosses now have firm beliefs. We are part of the market economy, and the future will be a big splash, and even if the current development is thousands of dangers."
"Zhu Bajie also has the ability of an entrepreneur. He can bond the team and how to act as an adhesive to make the team unit together.
Sha Seng has the spirit of hard work as an early entrepreneur and is hardworking."
"The four people have their own advantages and their own problems. Tang Monk will be confused. Sun Wukong still has a big temper. Bajie loves money and beauties. Sha Monk is too honest. However, these four people have combined to complete the great cause of obtaining scriptures. In Zhang Gaoxing's view, it is impossible to complete it without anyone. If the four masters and apprentices are combined into one person, Tang Monk's persistence, firm belief, Wukong's flexibility and ability, Zhu Bajie's unpretentious aloofness, not afraid of dirty things, and Sha Monk's hard work, this person must have the inner quality of being an entrepreneur."
Zhang Gaoxing and Director Yang talked about some of his own gossip about "Journey to the West".
Dispel the other party's suspicion of investing in "Journey to the West" and made her feel that she really loved Journey to the West and sponsored it.
True investment.
Next, Zhang Gaoxing and Director Yang naturally started a serious chat.
"Director Yang, I wonder how much funds will be needed for the subsequent filming of "Journey to the West"?"
"Conservatively estimated it would cost three million."
Director Yang said.
Such a coquettish movie is only 3 million yuan. Some later hot-selling TV series are not nutritious, but they are all 3 million yuan per episode, and even the appearance fee for some actors is as high as 3 million yuan per episode.
Zhang Gaoxing felt that he had made money. Now, the person who is worth billions in his pocket is only a leak from his nails.
"Okay, I will pay three million first. Now some places have started a market economy. If the shooting fund is not enough, I will make a second investment."
It was a pity that many wonderful contents in Journey to the West in the previous life were not filmed due to the funds at that time. This life must have made him no longer regrets, so Zhang Gaoxing promised two subsequent investments.
In later generations, there were many funds and technology, but the actors had changed, and it was difficult to make classic works like Journey to the West.
There was no gorgeous technology in that era, and it was all based on the explosive acting skills of actors. The actors in the Journey to the West basically played many roles alone, and the most one played more than twenty roles before and after. It was impossible to do it in the future.
Next is to discuss the contract matters, and Zhang Gaoxing asked Dongyang Gaoxing Wood Carving Factory to be added as an investor to the opening and ending of the film.
So every time "Journey to the West" is replayed in this life, the beginning and ending of the film will appear jointly filmed by CCTV and Dongyang Gaoxing Wood Carving Factory.
Gaoxing Wood Carving Factory will start the "advertising" that will show its face in front of the people of the whole country every time.
"Boss Zhang, thank you for your sponsorship. We thank you for allowing our famous Chinese book "Journey to the West" to be fully displayed to the audience across the country."
"Director Yang, I also thank you and your crew for filming classic TV series for the people of the whole country."
...
When Journey to the West was playing a new episode in 1988, when he saw Dongyang Gaoxing Wood Carving Factory, the old father and son of the Zhang family were so excited.
Zhang Jingui said to everyone: "My eldest grandson's company has been on CCTV. Have you seen it? It's still in "Journey to the West"!"
Chapter completed!
