If even the people around you don't think about you anymore, then it means there's really something wrong with you.
After a shopping spree, Gwei Lun-mei was happy, and her manager and two assistants were also won over, calling her "Sister Amei, Sister Amei".
Gui Lunmei enthusiastically dragged Shen Fang to buy furniture and decorations. Now that she had a house, she wanted to decorate it beautifully to fulfill her childhood dream of decorating the house in her favorite style.
That's why rich people are loved by beautiful women. In modern society, money can solve 99% of problems. As for the remaining 1%, if money can't solve it, then nothing else can.
Shen Fang never cares about the amount when it comes to spending money on his woman; he gives her whatever she wants. Even recently, when Fan Xiaopang bought a set of jewelry worth over 3 million yuan, she was a little nervous that Shen Fang would say she was wasteful. But Shen Fang didn't even blink and praised the jewelry as beautiful and matching Fan Xiaopang perfectly.
This made Fan Xiaopang overjoyed. This was exactly the kind of man she wanted—one who wouldn't criticize her for spending money recklessly, and she wouldn't have to worry about him being unhappy if she bought too much or too expensive stuff. That very night, Fan Xiaopang gave Shen Fang a seductive look, complete with a leather jacket and a "blood-dripping" outfit. Shen Fang was ecstatic.
Combined with Fan Xiaopang's naturally charming demeanor, it was truly a supreme enjoyment.
It was 6 p.m. when I looked at the time.
"Xiaomei, I have something to discuss tonight. Do you want to come with me, or..."
Gui Lunmei leaned against Chen Fang: "Will you come looking for me again tonight?"
Shen Fang chuckled mischievously as he touched Gwei Lun-mei's little bottom.
"After such a long separation, of course we should spar a bit! What do you think?"
Gui Lunmei blushed and pinched Chen Fang: "You're so annoying, don't say it out loud."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Huanhuan, take your sister Amei out for something nice to eat. I have something to do, I'll come find you when I'm done."
Huang Huan patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
Shen Fang nodded and, along with Huang Bin, arrived at the Banqiushan Restaurant. After waiting at the entrance for a while, Zhang Yimou, wearing a hat and mask, also arrived.
Guided by the restaurant manager, the three arrived at a private room. Chang Jihong was having a lively conversation with a man in his forties dressed in a suit, while a young man was translating for them. They entered the room.
Chang Jihong stood up: "President Jin Tian, this is General Manager Shen of our Xingyao Media, this is my colleague Mr. Huang Bin, and as for this one, I think there's no need to introduce him."
At this moment, Zhang Yimou also took off his hat and mask.
Jin Tianxia was extremely respectful. He bowed slightly and extended his hand to shake hands with Lao Mouzi, Shen Fang, and Huang Bin.
Shen Fang sat down and offered cigarettes to Lao Mouzi and Huang Bin, and then handed one to Jin Tianxia Er. Jin Tianxia Er accepted it and expressed his gratitude.
Shen Fang waved his hand.
"Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."
The translator relayed Shen Fang's words to Jin Tianxia.
Jin Tianxia smiled at Shen Fang: "Shen Sang, I would like to invite director Zhang Yimou to collaborate on a Three Kingdoms series of films. The estimated investment is 50 million US dollars. Our company will be responsible for 50% of the funding, and the rest can be given to Longteng Media. Before the film is made into a co-production, we are willing to contribute 30 million RMB as director Zhang Yimou's fee."
Shen Fang raised an eyebrow. Another 10 million? Wow, they're living a pretty good life.
"50 million US dollars? Such a large investment would probably be very difficult to recoup the costs in Japan. Even with the Chinese market included, it's possible to lose money if things go wrong. Has President Jinda considered this?"
Jin Tianxia smiled and said, "Of course I've thought about it, but since the hero has already succeeded, we're willing to give it a shot. Besides, the Japanese obsession with the Three Kingdoms is unimaginable to the Chinese. The pressure of 50 million US dollars isn't actually too great. What I want to do is test the waters, hoping to open up film and television cooperation and exchange between the two regions through this film. I've heard that you, Mr. Shen, are quite familiar with some leaders from the China Film Group's cultural and publicity departments. The Chinese animation market is still relatively untapped, and I want more children to see our excellent Japanese animation works..."
Shen Fang narrowed his eyes. So that was the plan. The Japanese company was unparalleled in Japan and had made great achievements in exporting culture to other countries, making a fortune overseas. Currently, Japanese anime, manga, and film and television works have not been officially released in China. This is also a way for the cultural propaganda department to protect the Chinese film and television industry.
Shen Fang's fingers tapped on the table, while his mind raced.
First and foremost, what Jin Tianxia is demanding is cultural export, to devour the domestic animation and cultural industry. You can't stop it even if you want to, because you can only completely protect it if the cultural bureau restricts the flow of Japanese film, animation, and manga creations into the Chinese market and completely bans them.
However, the domestic animation and comics market currently lacks any mature companies; they have achieved virtually nothing, let alone commercialization. Even Magic Art Studio has made virtually no progress in recent years.
The mainstream animation industry is almost dead, so it's even harder for small animation companies to survive. Now, the Japanese manga and animation industry is already famous and has a large number of fans throughout Asia and the world. Their business layout is complete.
Whether in terms of technology, business, or talent pool, it is world-class in every aspect.
Doraemon, Dragon Ball, One Piece, Cat's Eye, Detective Conan, Cardcaptor Sakura, Lupin III, Naruto, Astro Boy, Saint Seiya, Chibi Maruko-chan, Ultraman, Bleach, Gintama, and many other works have a large fan base worldwide.
It can be said that it has captured the entire adolescence of children and teenagers all over the world.
The entire childhood of Chinese primary, middle, and high school students is basically spent watching Japanese anime, pirated VCDs, and DVDs.
The Japanese anime industry has reached its peak. It has everything you could want, and whatever genre you want to watch, they have it. Their commercialization is also incredibly sophisticated.
Arcade games, trading cards, merchandise, fan-made shops, co-branded clothing, luxury goods, anime movies, live-action anime—everything that can be listed is listed. It's even more outrageous than Disney, and the fun is truly amazing.
Although this can be considered a form of cultural colonization, there's nothing that can be done about it. Internationally, China can't shut down this area; you can't stop people from spreading their culture.
This is a difficult situation. Agreeing is not an option, disagreeing is not an option, and you can't stop them. If you don't stop them, it's like sitting and waiting for death.
