Chapter 263: The Disabled but Strong-willed Liu Bi
"How about it?"
In the office of Kuiguang Group, Yang Ruoqian stared at the screen of his mobile phone. He estimated that the time was about right, so he sent a message to the driver.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Liu and the others have already entered the zoo according to your arrangements."
Yang Ruoqian was relieved: "Very good, keep them in the zoo. At least don't let them out this morning, understand? Inspiration requires a gradual process, a period of precipitation and fermentation."
The driver sent a message: "Understood, Mr. Yang! Any other tasks?"
"Remember to take a photo of them and post a message on all social media platforms using the company's official account to make it a big deal."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, the photography team is ready."
Yang Ruoqian reminded him again: "Pay attention to whether Liu Bi and the others show any abnormal behavior. If so, report to me immediately, ok?"
"Got it, Mr. Yang."
After arranging the task, Yang Ruoqian put down his phone and immediately looked up at the paused screen in front of him.
This is the 13th bad movie he has been looking for.
Last night, due to some indescribable reasons, Mr. Yang's plan to screen out bad movies was seriously delayed, so he had to pile things up until the next day.
In order to find an excuse to stabilize Liu Bi, Mr. Yang had no choice but to come up with the dirty trick of using the zoo.
First let Liu Bi swat mosquitoes in the zoo for a morning, and then let him go to the nearby amusement park to experience the roller coaster, haunted house and pendulum package.
All just to buy time.
Only after Yang Ruoqian has completely selected out the bad films will he allow Liu Bi and his three companions to leave the amusement park and come to the company.
Taking down the "Xiao Liu Film" studio is an extremely important battle of public opinion and must not be taken lightly.
If we let them continue to brag about the Shelter Company, it will really become a super-efficient money-printing machine.
Yang Ruoqian planned to post a dynamic first, to publicize the false news that "Xiao Liu Movie" had been recruited by Kuiguang Group, in order to reduce the value of the video of "Xiao Liu Movie" boasting about the shelter company.
And at the same time spend as much money as possible to achieve the third quarter loss target as much as possible.
Yang Ruoqian was driving at four times the speed and muttered to himself, "This movie is OK. It's mediocre in terms of being bad, but it's also good at making people feel disgusted. It's included."
"This action movie is also fine, it's you..."
"An ugly cartoon with a green hat? This kind of harmful garbage must be handed over to professionals like Liu Bi to deal with!"
“…”
The painful and torturous days were always very hard to bear. After spending several hours inexplicably, Yang Ruoqian finally suppressed his nausea and selected 30 extremely bad movies.
This number of bad movies seems to be about the same...
Enough to fill all of Liu Bi’s free time in these five days.
After completing all the preparations for the war, Yang Ruoqian reached out for the phone and called the private cinema in Qianda Plaza across the street.
After a few seconds, the call was connected.
"Hello, this is Zhuoli Private Cinema. I'm the receptionist with work number 721. I'm happy to serve you. Is there anything you need?"
Yang Ruoqian glanced at the information he had sorted out and asked, "Can you watch all kinds of movies in your theater?"
"I'm sorry sir, according to relevant regulations, movies that have been released for less than a week cannot be shown in private theaters. They can only be shown in private theaters after they are offline."
"But our private cinema has Class 3 equipment and all the necessary qualifications. We can play most movies that have been shown for more than a week."
"if……"
Pretty professional...
Yang Ruoqian was pressed for time, so he interrupted directly, "I don't have any demand for newly released movies. I have some less popular movies, I wonder if they can be shown here?"
The girl at the private cinema was very patient: "You can find most of them. Anything with genuine resources is fine. You can tell me the name of the movie and I will check it for you."
"Okay... Well, for this one, Calabash Brothers Punk: Seven Heroes, do you have the resources?"
The receptionist was silent for a moment, and her originally peaceful and sweet voice was a little confused: "You...what did you say? Can you repeat it again?"
What baby?
What punk? How many heroes?
Yang Ruoqian knew that the name of this movie was indeed a little unusual, so he slowed down his speech a little: "Calabash Brothers Punk: Seven Heroes."
"Wait a minute... Let me check for you. Uh, yes, do you need it?"
"Okay, if you have one, then that's fine." Yang Ruoqian nodded with satisfaction, "I want to book the most expensive and luxurious room you have. Is there any vacancy?"
In fact, Kuiguang Group also has private cinemas, but due to cost considerations, Yang Ruoqian only considers watching movies in the company as a backup option.
Yang Ruoqian would only use the company's in-house cinema if private cinemas elsewhere did not have these film resources.
It now seems that this plan is no longer necessary.
Hearing that the customer who came was the kind of customer who didn't care about quality but only about price, the girl at the front desk raised her voice a little: "Also, what time period do you want to reserve?"
"Starting from today, for five days, is that ok?"
Five, five days?! Book a private cinema for five whole days? Let’s not talk about who would need to watch a movie for such a long time. Even if you really want to watch a movie, you don’t need to book it for five days, right? You have to go out for a while in the middle, right?
The receptionist, who had never received such a guest since the opening of the private cinema, made several low-level mistakes in a row. She was stunned again and said, "Uh...you mean, you want to use our VIP theater for five days, right?"
Yang Ruoqian replied briefly: "Yes."
Although it was said to be a five-day package, Yang Ruoqian would definitely not be so cruel as to let Liu Bi and the other two actually live in the private cinema for five days.
But eight hours a day is definitely unavoidable.
"Okay... Could you wait a moment? I'm going to ask my supervisor what kind of discount I should give you."
Private cinemas don't have such a business as weekly package, but asking customers to purchase weekly package services at a package price is obviously bullying people like fools.
Anyone who wants to do repeat business will definitely not do this.
It is just a reception desk and does not have the power to decide prices.
As soon as Yang Ruoqian heard the word "discount", he flatly refused: "No need for discounts, don't offer any discounts, just keep the original price."
"Sir, you may have misunderstood. I meant to give you a discount..."
“Yes, I don’t need a discount.”
"...Okay, then do you have any requirements for these five days of filming?"
"I have a total of thirty movies here. Give me your contact information and I'll send you the names. Let's see if I have all the resources."
"My contact information is...oh no, may I ask sir what is your name?"
“…”
"Okay, then hang up."
After finishing all the work, Yang Ruoqian finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.
Anyone would feel annoyed after watching so many crappy movies in such a short period of time.
Not to mention watching rubbish movies for such a long time, even playing games for such a long time at a time would be very easy to get bored.
Now, everything is finally over, and it is finally my turn to watch others suffer!
There was a light knock on the door: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Liu is here."
Hearing the source of all suffering coming, Yang Ruoqian immediately turned off the computer, slammed the mouse on the keyboard, and hurried to the door.
It's finally here! I can't wait to see Liu Bi's expression when he is bombarded with bad movies! You must also bear the pain I have endured completely! Outside the door, Liu Bi, who was in a trance, heard the voice coming from the office, and his eyes suddenly became alert.
"Sure enough, I passed Mr. Yang's test... As the boss of such a large group, he was so happy and eager to welcome me."
Although I was under the scorching sun, attacked by mosquitoes, was pointed at by the children around me when I was wearing formal clothes to see the tiger, my tie was blown away by the roller coaster, and I was scared to the point of hoarseness in the haunted house...
But he got a set of inspiration plans! If he had objected to entering the zoo at that time, would Yang Ruoqian still be as excited as if he had found a confidant?
Liu Bi even felt a little embarrassed about himself - after all, he had been in the zoo for so long and played so many rides, but still couldn't get any inspiration.
Oh, I'm so ashamed...
But in order to get on the train of Kuiguang Group, the disabled but determined Liu Bi gritted his teeth and said that he had got inspiration.
"Mr. Yang! Hello, hello, I've heard a lot about you!"
Yang Ruoqian walked forward and shook Liu Bi's hand vigorously: "Mr. Liu, nice to meet you, how was your fun...collecting materials this morning?"
As he spoke, Yang Ruoqian also took a good look at Liu Bi.
The two had worked together online before, but this was the first time they met in person.
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Mr. Yang always gives the utmost respect to such serious threats.
Well... from the outside, he is a typical "homebody". He looks a little frail, his hair is messy and not very thick, and his handshake is not very strong. It is obvious that he neglects exercise on a regular basis.
He looks like an ordinary office worker who would be hard to find if thrown on the street...
However, the damage he caused to the group far exceeded that caused by the numerous employees within the group.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
"Mr. Yang looks even younger than in the photo. I'm so envious." Liu Bi's limbs were sore and his hands were weak. He almost fell to the ground after the handshake.
While at the zoo and the amusement park, Liu Bi had already eaten lunch and had recovered a little bit of his energy.
"By the way, why did you come alone? Where are your two partners?" Yang Ruoqian asked curiously.
"Ah...they are really exhausted, and we just happen to have some work matters to deal with. Is there something Mr. Yang wants to talk to them about? If it's important, I'll call them over right now."
Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with Liu Bi's initiative and waved his hand generously: "It's okay, if you can't come, then don't come. Inspiration is something that can't be forced."
Torturing three people at the same time is indeed a bit too inhumane, but torturing the culprit is just enough.
What's more, the harm caused to moviegoers in a cinema with three people and in a cinema with only one person is completely different.
Of course... Yang Ruoqian is not a bad person. If he wants to torture others, he must give them sufficient compensation financially.
Moreover, the specific monetary compensation must be made clear to avoid causing irreversible psychological damage to Liu Bi.
"We can't waste five or six days of your time in vain if we call you here in a hurry." Yang Ruoqian took out the contract he had prepared long ago. "This is our compensation contract. Do you think the terms above are acceptable to you?"
Is there a compensation contract?
Liu Bi was pleasantly surprised, and quickly took the contract, glancing over the important contents on it.
A thousand dollars a day in compensation?
All I have to do is sit in an air-conditioned room and watch a movie? Food and drinks are all free?! Is there such a good thing?
You can earn 5,000 yuan in five days, which is equivalent to 30,000 yuan a month.
"Boss Yang, you're too polite..." Liu Bi was a little hesitant to sign the contract. "We use your money for food and lodging, and we also get paid. This is not appropriate, really not appropriate!"
"Liu Bi, I'll be frank. Kuiguang Group intends to cooperate with your studio for a long time, but I'm not sure if you can get used to our working environment and creative state, and if you can match your brainwaves with our creators, so I plan to let you experience it first."
Liu Bi's pupils shrank slightly: "Long-term cooperation?"
"Yes, the company wants to hire you as an exclusive film critic." Yang Ruoqian nodded, "We will not interfere with your content creation. As long as you can review each of our movies in a timely manner, you can get a subsidy of 30,000 yuan a month. How about it?"
No interference in content creation, as long as you review the movies under Kuiguang Group in time, you can get a subsidy of 30,000 yuan per month? ! The problem is that the "Xiao Liu Movie" account will never miss any movie of Kuiguang Group.
Does that mean giving away money for free?
Even if the Shelter Company can continue to explode and maintain the progress of shooting a movie in more than ten days, it will not be a heavy burden for them, the film reviewers.
Even if all other videos are no longer profitable in the future, I can still live a very comfortable life just by relying on the subsidies from Kuiguang Group.
Besides...working for Kuiguang Group is stable!
Even though being a self-media person is both profitable and flexible now, who knows when the wind direction will change, and who knows when the audience will get tired of it?
Now there was a stable high-paying job that fell from the sky, who wouldn't be tempted?
Out of politeness, Liu Bi wanted to pretend to refuse...
But after a little thought, he gave up this dangerous attempt.
What if people take this politeness seriously? Liu Bi picked up the pen, wrote his name on the contract, and said seriously: "Okay, Mr. Yang, I'm willing to give it a try!"
"Okay." Yang Ruoqian put away the two copies of the contract. "Then let's go and show you the creative state of our company!"
After saying that, Yang Ruoqian took Liu Bi away from Shengjing Mansion and came to Qianda Plaza opposite.
…
Zhuoli Private Cinema.
"What's wrong with you? You don't even give a discount to such an important guest. Is that reasonable?" The owner of a private cinema criticized a little girl bitterly. "What if she doesn't come in the future?"
When he heard that a customer paid 40,000 yuan to book a top-notch room for five days, the owner of the private cinema rushed over from home.
The room was 328 per hour, but they just threw in the money for 5x24, and used the extra money to buy food and drinks. It's an exaggeration! It's a great fortune for such a customer to come to us on his own initiative! The girl said aggrievedly: "I told him... He said he didn't want a discount."
"You won't give it to me just because he says he doesn't want it?!" The boss was so angry that his head was dizzy. "You really won't give it to me just because he says he doesn't want it? Have you wasted all these years of work?!"
"sorry……"
"I'm sorry, it's no use telling me. Go talk to the client yourself later. Come on, they're coming!"
Is the customer coming?
The girl at the front desk was startled and quickly walked towards Yang Ruoqian: "Hello, Mr. Yang! I'll take you to your room!"
The boss next to him was so disappointed that his face turned red with anxiety: "We have prepared a big gift box here! Bring it over to the guests as well."
Yang Ruoqian was chatting happily with Liu Bi, but was startled when he heard this and asked, "Gift box, what gift box?"
The boss quickly came forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Yang, this is a gift from us to you, it's free... This child is ignorant, please forgive me."
"Don't want money?" Yang Ruoqian was immediately unhappy, "Then don't want it, you can keep it for yourselves."
After saying that, Yang Ruoqian, without even turning his head, took the confused Liu Bi and the receptionist to their luxurious private room.
In the luxurious screening room, everything was spotlessly clean, and it was filled with air conditioners, blankets, and various drinks and snacks.
Very good, the environment is very nice.
Before the torture began, Yang Ruoqian thoughtfully asked the victim for his opinion: "How is this environment for finding inspiration?"
After being tortured by the zoo and the haunted house for most of the day, Liu Bi almost didn't think: "Great! Working in this kind of environment will definitely give me a burst of inspiration!"
You said this yourself...
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Okay, if you have any needs, just tell the people at the private cinema directly. We will cover all the expenses. Just be attentive."
"You should immerse yourself in the experience for five days first, and feel the ideas of the group's creators. This will also help you to be more objective when you write film reviews in the future..."
"Watching eight hours of movies every day, that's pretty easy, right?"
Easy? This is simply enjoyable!
Eating watermelon in a cold air-conditioned room, half lying on the bed with a blanket covering you, watching a movie happily... is part of your job?
Is there such a good thing in this world?
Not to mention eight hours, even staying in a place like this for a lifetime would be completely fine.
Ha, those two guys didn’t come, how stupid of them.
Liu Bi nodded very touchedly: "Yes, Mr. Yang."
"Then I'll be leaving first. I have a few important projects on hand."
Yang Ruoqian helped Liu Bi close the door of the room, observed a three-second moment of silence for Liu Bi in his heart, then turned and left the private cinema.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed the person in charge of the private cinema not to meet the guests' requests for double-speed playback.
In the dim room, Liu Bi picked up a piece of iced watermelon and put it into his mouth happily.
"Boss Yang's arrangements are so thoughtful."
“Is this what rich people enjoy?”
After eating the fruit, Liu Bi lay comfortably on the sofa and watched the movie playing on the big screen.
Perhaps because he loves the movie so much, Liu Bi's expectations for the movie were also infinitely raised.
Do the creators of Kuiguang Group usually find inspiration in such a comfortable environment? "Look at this opening... How, uh, retro?"
"Look at the quality of this picture. There is a kind of hazy beauty."
"Look at the casting, how down-to-earth it is."
"Look at the name of this movie, it's so... uh, Calabash Brothers Punk: Seven Heroes?!"
"What the hell is this?!"
"Did I enter the room the wrong way? Or did the people at the cinema make a mistake?"
Liu Bi, who has watched countless movies, was already extremely shocked, but when he saw the title of this movie and the scenes presented in the movie, he could hardly hide his shock.
What is this thing?
How can a motorcycle and a horse-drawn carriage appear in the same frame?
What is the Calabash Brothers with prosthetics? "Ah? Ah? Ah?!"
"Fuck my eyes!"
“…”
…
The private cinema has excellent sound insulation.
Of course, even if the sound insulation is not good, Liu Bi’s screams would hardly be heard at the Kuiguang Group’s headquarters.
At this time, Yang Ruoqian was in the group's legal department, listening to Ding Daoyi's report.
"Boss Yang, we have concluded the lawsuit against Yuefu Group and the first batch of up-loaders. The first trial result should be announced soon."
Hmm...the result of the first trial.
When Yang Ruoqian heard these four words, he didn't care much.
Our country implements a two-instance final judgment system. Whether it is the plaintiff or the defendant, as long as they are dissatisfied with the first-instance judgment, they can choose to appeal to a higher court.
Only the second-instance judgment is final.
Anyway, neither Yuefu nor Kuiguang would stop at the first trial, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
After all, the system has rewarded the company with a large amount of evidence, and the result of the first trial will definitely be more unfavorable to the defendant.
Can Yuefu bear this loss?
impossible.
Yang Ruoqian nodded and asked perfunctorily, "Yes... Are you sure about the lawsuit?"
Mr. Yang actually had an expected answer to this question - the last time the system rewarded a lot of evidence related to this lawsuit, it was sent directly to the Legal Department.
With systematic evidence and Ding Daoyi's professional level, the outcome of the lawsuit was not a big suspense from the beginning.
Now Yang Ruoqian is only looking forward to one thing - Yuefu Group can delay as long as it can. As long as it is delayed long enough and the cost of the lawsuit is higher than the amount of compensation, then Yang Ruoqian's goal will be achieved.
Ding Daoyi's blood boiled when he thought of the miserable appearance of Yuefu's representatives in court: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I promise to kill them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an excited shout from outside the door: "Here it comes! The results are in, good news! We won!"
A young lawyer pushed the door open, his hands shaking: "Boss Yang, Lawyer Ding... We not only won this time, we won a great victory!"
"The first instance court agreed with our request and required Yuefu Group to pay all the compensation we requested!"
The Yuefu Group's legal team is well-known in the industry for their formidable skills. They are like dogs that hate each other and will get into trouble if they are provoked.
Even if they lose, it is difficult for the plaintiff to get full compensation.
When could I lose so miserably and so cleanly?
I have only been a trainee lawyer for a short time, and I have been able to handle such a case, and I have won so beautifully. The sense of accomplishment is really great! No wonder I am so excited.
Ding Daoyi was not surprised by this result at all: "Stay calm, it's just the first trial. Yue Mansion will definitely not admit defeat easily."
The young lawyer was full of confidence: "Looking at the current situation, they probably won't win even in the second trial."
"We can't celebrate in advance. Let's quickly prepare the materials for the second trial... Well, Mr. Yang, the details are roughly here. Do you want me to make a copy of the file for you?"
Yang Ruoqian, who was illiterate about the law, had no interest in such a boring document. He simply shook his head and refused, "No need. You can just figure it out yourself."
well……
Is this the only combat capability of Yuefu's Ministry of Justice?
I thought I could delay it longer and waste more company funds.
But it doesn’t matter, there is still a second trial and it can be delayed further.
And this time, Yuefu will definitely put in 120% of its efforts!
"Okay, report to me if there's anything else."
Yang Ruoqian packed up his things, returned to the office leisurely, and half-lying in the chair.
"Wandering Blue Star", Leopard App, the air projects of junior students, and the inspiration for Liu Bi...
There are also a lot of cases that have just passed the first instance.
Although there was a stab in the back from Sparks Records, it was harmless.
The situation in the third quarter has gradually opened up.
"Oh, it feels good. After sending away Liu Bi, the god of plague, I should have time to look at private jets."
After Yang Ruoqian asked to replace the expensive DJI with the cheaper Gulfstream last time, the crew's procurement became a mess.
No one had ever experienced buying an airplane... The crew urgently used their connections and finally found a more professional team.
After all, it's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The specific type of aircraft to be purchased and whether the aircraft meets the requirements still needs Yang Ruoqian's personal signature to confirm, otherwise no one can take responsibility.
Ding-a-ling…
Just when Yang Ruoqian was feeling complacent about his third quarter layout, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, startling Yang Ruoqian.
Now, every time Yang Ruoqian answers the phone, he feels like he is waiting for the teacher to announce the test results, it is so nervous and exciting.
No one knows whether the news from the front desk lady is good news or bad news.
"Hello?" Yang Ruoqian answered the phone and asked vigilantly.
"Boss Yang, someone at the Yuefu Group headquarters wants to talk to you by name. Do you want to answer the call?"
The Yuefu Group was looking for him?! Faced with this completely unexpected news, President Yang was completely unable to figure out the other party's motives.
The first trial result had just come out, and the Yue family came directly to the door? What's the matter, making harsh remarks and calling for punishment?
After a few seconds of hesitation, Yang Ruoqian said, "Well, please call Lin Cao to the office for me... and answer the phone."
After all, they were a hostile company with extremely tense relations. They might not have any good intentions in calling... They might be trying to dig a big hole for themselves! As a former middle-level manager of Yue Mansion, Lin Cao might be able to provide some objective opinions and expose their possible conspiracy.
"……Hello?"
ps: The number of 10,000 pages a day is really terrifying. I feel numb when I write to the end... How do those authors manage to easily reach 10,000 pages a day?
One Lin Yuan traveled through countless worlds at the same time and became countless Lin Yuans. They shared each other's talents and even strength. They were all monsters who could push through everything with their physical bodies. And every time they gathered together, they would start an earth-shaking battle for who is the main Lin Yuan!
