While Wang Weiguo went to pour tea, Shen Yu had already introduced the relevant information about Gangcheng Qiao's Group and Pengcheng Xingfu Beverage Factory to Factory Director Yang.
For example, they would state the size of the factory and the number of workers to reassure Director Yang.
After listening to Shen Yu's explanation, Director Yang was indeed relieved.
A company of that size must have the money to afford advertising.
When Wang Weiguo returned, Shen Yu showed Director Yang the contracts she had signed with the provincial television station and the provincial newspaper.
Factory Director Yang and Wang Weiguo felt much calmer.
Next, Shen Yu told Director Yang and Wang Weiguo what kind of commercial she wanted to shoot and her general ideas.
After explaining her idea, Shen Yu asked Wang Weiguo, "Director Wang, do you think this commercial can be made? Are there any problems?"
Wang Weiguo replied without hesitation, "No problem, it's just shooting an advertisement, I can do it, and I guarantee I'll do a good job!"
He had finally gotten this opportunity, so how could he miss it? He would definitely do his best to make this advertisement a success and satisfy Chairman Shen.
Seeing his confidence, Shen Yu smiled and said, "Okay, then let's talk about the price for shooting this commercial."
Wang Weiguo looked at Yang Qingwen and said, "Factory Director, you are more familiar with this price, so you can negotiate it!"
"Five thousand yuan." Factory Manager Yang raised the price slightly, prepared for Shen Yu to try and negotiate.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Yu didn't even haggle over the price and readily agreed, "Five thousand yuan it is. This advertisement needs to be submitted to the provincial TV station and the provincial newspaper by next Monday morning. Is that alright?"
Factory Director Yang calculated the time and immediately said, "Five more days, no problem, we can definitely get it done."
Shen Yu smiled happily and said, "Okay, it's settled then, Director Yang, let's sign the contract!"
Shen Yu took out the prepared contract and had her secretary Xiang Hong fill in the relevant information before having Director Yang and Wang Weiguo review it.
"Director Yang, Director Wang, could you please take a look at this contract? Are there any problems? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
After reviewing the document, both Director Yang and Wang Weiguo agreed that there were no problems, so Shen Yu and Director Yang signed their names together.
Shen Yu asked Xiang Hong to take out the official seal she carried with her and stamped it on.
Factory Director Yang also had the accounting department bring the official seal to stamp the receipt, and collected another 5,000 yuan in advertising fees, issuing a receipt to Shen Yu.
After finishing these matters, Shen Yu smiled and extended her hand to Director Yang, "Director Yang, it was a pleasure working with you! I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again next time."
Factory Director Yang shook her hand firmly. "Chairwoman Shen, it's been a pleasure doing business with you! I sincerely hope we can cooperate again next time!"
Generous bosses like Shen Yu are the film studio's favorite guests.
Now that reform and opening up have begun, the higher authorities have also made it clear that they hope all enterprises can launch new projects and increase their revenue. They should not place all their hopes on government funding, but should find their own ways to solve their revenue and expenditure problems and not dump all the burdens on the state.
Businesses are now racking their brains to find ways to increase revenue and reduce costs, striving to make the company profitable and give a good account to their employees and superiors.
But most people haven't even solved their basic needs for food and clothing yet, so finding a big boss willing to spend money to invest is really, really difficult.
Factory Director Yang had tried various methods, but he couldn't find an investor.
Shen Yu, who came today, actually came to us on her own initiative.
Factory Director Yang genuinely felt that it was essential to maintain a good relationship with a powerful boss like Shen Yu so that they would be the first people to contact for the next commercial shoot.
Shen Yu had already explained the concept of the advertisement and her conditions for the main character in the advertisement. She asked Wang Weiguo to find the right person and then let her see if it suited his taste.
Factory Director Yang immediately said, "Chairman Shen, why don't we just find those young and good-looking male and female actors right now? Whichever actor you like, we can let them film it, is that alright?"
Shen Yu smiled and nodded, "Sure, sure."
"Please sit for a moment, I'll have someone bring them over right now."
After Director Yang finished speaking, he hurriedly went out to call someone over.
Although the Guangzhou Film Studio was established in the 1950s, its film production was very low, averaging less than five films per year. Most of the actors had no films to shoot and were idle.
Now that companies are expected to find their own investments to generate profits, Director Yang is also having a headache. Where can he find investment?
The appearance of Shen Yu gave Director Yang a glimmer of hope.
He desperately hoped that this advertisement would demonstrate the strength of their Guangzhou Film Studio to Shen Yu, so that she would seek them out again in the future.
Soon, Director Yang brought over a dozen young male and female actors, had them line up in front of Shen Yu and Wang Weiguo, and let the two of them choose which one was more suitable to film the Happiness Drink commercial.
Looking at the row of young and promising actors, Shen Yu quickly picked out several very familiar faces.
Jin Zhu, Wang Yingzi, Zhou Feiyan, and Hao Lili were known as the "Four Golden Flowers" of the Guangzhou Film Studio in the 1980s.
They were all very popular actresses in the 1980s and 1990s, and some of them even remained popular into their sixties.
However, some actors had a more difficult time. They were only popular in the 1980s, but after falling out with the film studio, they were blacklisted.
She is Jinzhu.
Of the other three beauties, only Wang Yingzi enjoyed a long and successful career in film and television, continuing to act even into her sixties.
Zhou Feiyan later went abroad to marry, and Hao Lili went to Hong Kong to develop her career, but she also failed to achieve her goal and eventually got married.
Of all these golden flowers, the one that is most regrettable is the golden pearl.
Her husband is also a director. The couple is very talented and wrote the script for a movie that later became a huge hit.
It was originally agreed that her husband would direct the film, but for some reason, after a falling out with the production team, the film studio removed him and had another director direct the movie instead.
The couple sued the film studio over copyright issues related to the movie, but unfortunately they lost the case and were subsequently blacklisted.
Jinzhu had no choice but to retire from the film and television industry, and there has been no further news about her or her husband in the industry.
Shen Yu knew about Jin Zhu's story because of that popular movie. While looking up the movie's contents, she came across the grudges and stories involved in the film.
Cases like Jin Zhu's, where copyright was seized and lawsuits ensued, continued to occur even in later generations.
Often, capitalists set traps when signing contracts, and even if these traps are discovered later and the case goes to court, the copyright holder is very likely to lose.
Many people can't stand these so-called industry unspoken rules, but can only sympathize and sigh.
Shen Yu doesn't dare to claim that she is a 100% good person, but at least she has a bottom line in her conduct and would not do those heartless and unscrupulous things.
Since she had the chance to meet Jinzhu today, she wanted to help her.
