"Hey Zhou, who do you think you are! Our Xinyi City is the number one gang in Hong Kong. If Longcheng stomps its foot, the whole city will tremble. You want my people from Longcheng to harass a businessman? Do you think my Longcheng gang is just a waiter? Huh?"
Chu Yu became even more silent after being yelled at.
Seeing her silence, Yu Xiangwen knew this woman was up to no good. Sure enough, after a moment, she asked even more innocently:
“Yu Xiangwen, Long Cheng said that if he stomped his foot, the entire port city would tremble. Let him stomp and see, I'm listening here…”
Yu Xiangwen pinched his brow, feeling a headache coming on. In the past, he only had trouble talking to Long Cheng, but Long Cheng was simple-minded. Yu Xiangwen always looked down on a simple-minded but physically strong person from a god-like perspective.
But Chu Yu, on the other hand, is clever and can easily outwit people, yet she insists on arguing with Long Cheng.
Longcheng was humiliated and in a bad mood for several days. He would grab anyone he saw and beat them up. Everyone in Xinyi City was on edge. Meanwhile, Chu Yu, the instigator, was still in the mainland, leisurely staying out of it.
This woman is something else; she managed to piss someone off with just one sentence.
Sure enough, Long Cheng was completely enraged by her, and he wanted nothing more than to smash the telephone.
"What are you saying, woman! Are you mocking me, Long Cheng, for talking big, and thinking I, Long Cheng, can't do it, huh?"
Chu Yu smiled as always: "Yes."
"What did you say! Say it again if you dare! Say it again! If I don't beat you up, I'm not a Dragon!"
"Ah..." Chu Yu drawled out her words, her tone knowing. Just as Long Cheng thought she was scared, he heard the woman's voice coming from the other end of the phone, "So your surname is Long. I thought Long Cheng was a Japanese surname."
Longcheng hates Japan more than anything in his life. There are rumors that his mother died at the hands of Japanese people, which really angered him.
"Zhou Chuyu, you just wait, I'm going to the mainland right now to settle accounts with you!"
The only response he received was the cold, indifferent sound of Chu Yu hanging up the phone.
"She hung up! She actually hung up! She dared to hang up on me! I've never met a woman in my entire life who dared to hang up on me!"
Long Cheng was furious. The big boss of Xinyi City was actually angered to the point of jumping up and down by a woman.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiangwen, having caught Chu Yu's quirks, continued to deliver sarcastic remarks with unhurried jabs:
"You've run into trouble now."
Longcheng: "..."
Although Long Cheng was furious, Chu Yu knew that this partner was quite reliable.
They are preparing to film "Young and Dangerous 3". Xinyi City has a "business" requirement to have Hualai Film Company prepare to film two Hong Kong films this year.
Chu Yu had just recruited a lot of new artists, so he took the opportunity to send them to the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, so that everyone would have work and money to earn.
Hualai's development momentum in the port city is very strong. At the same time, Hualai's domestic business has also ushered in a turning point.
On Wednesday, Hua Lai received a reply from the television station saying that her show, "The Businesswoman," was likely to air.
"Didn't they say they would continue the review process?" Chu Yu asked.
Zhong Buyi said, “I’ve inquired about it. A drama on CCTV has run into a fundamental problem. Somehow, foreign capital has somehow infiltrated it, and it happens to be Japanese capital. As you know, these days we’re quite sensitive about business with Japanese companies. CCTV thinks this drama is risky. Our drama is about life in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is, after all, Chinese territory. Although it hasn’t been fully returned yet, broadcasting a drama about Hong Kong will help the public understand Hong Kong and lay the foundation for Hong Kong’s return.”
So that's how it is.
Chu Yu's cosmetics packaging was just finished. "Is it still possible to reshoot the advertisement?"
People these days don't have an awareness of advertising, so naturally they can't dislike it. To put it bluntly, there's so little to watch these days, watching ads feels like watching TV, which is especially interesting.
"Just give the order, and I'll take the picture anytime you want. How do you want it in?"
Chu Yu felt that in an era when audiences didn't resist advertisements, CCTV didn't have the concept of advertisements either, so it was better to just openly film them.
"Film a few scenes of the female lead using cosmetics, including her applying makeup to her face, putting on a face mask, applying lipstick, and so on. Before the female lead goes to a negotiation, she touches up her makeup, and the camera gives her a close-up, showing the brand and shade of the lipstick she's using. Then, the female lead confidently walks into the meeting room, and the camera gives her a close-up of her lips."
Zhong Buyi realized that there really were no advertisements in mainland China these days, and Zhong Buyi had no relevant experience either.
However, he roughly understood what Chu Yu meant.
That means integrating advertisements into the series, without making them abrupt, but also without deliberately avoiding them.
Just like Chu Yu's Mandarin clothing, the Mandarin packaging bags appear many times in the show, which is a form of soft advertising. Then, close-ups of Mandarin cosmetics are shown, and it's certain that they will sell out when Mandarin hits the market.
When will your cosmetics be launched?
"It's not completely finished yet. The face cream, lotion, and toner are all fine. We are developing face masks and lipsticks. The lipsticks are being color-matched. Developing a shade that suits Chinese skin is not an easy task. Moreover, the raw materials have to be imported from abroad, and we also have to coordinate with people in Guangdong Province."
Ultimately, Chu Yu's cosmetics factory wasn't even finished yet.
She couldn't produce anything in a short time, so she could only fill the bottle with some skincare products and find a few lipsticks for the female lead to use as a prop, making sure to get the advertisement out first.
These days, TV dramas are all played on repeat in a brainwashing manner; a single drama can be broadcast countless times.
When TV stations don't have any dramas to broadcast, they bring out the most popular ones to show off.
Chu Yu's "Businesswoman" was filmed on location in Hong Kong, so many things were new to domestic audiences. Once it airs, it will definitely be a huge hit across the country.
