At that time, it should be no problem to broadcast it for four or five years.
Even if Mandarin's cosmetics are launched later, the advertising effect will still be there.
Zhong Buyi admired Chu Yu quite a bit; he was the kind of person who, once he started doing one thing, couldn't do anything else.
Chu Yu was incredibly energetic. She ran a film and television company, which was thriving. She also helped her mother manage Yorkham Fast Food, while attending school, managing dozens of clothing stores, and busy establishing a cosmetics company.
Oh, and she also has to find time to deal with those awful relatives.
Zhong Buyi could only admire him.
"Chu Yu, now that your cosmetics company is established, could you give me some shares? I don't have much money, but I suddenly made a few hundred thousand yuan and I really don't know where to spend it, so I'm looking for places to invest. Of course, if you're willing, I can also invest in Hualai."
Chu Yu smiled; she couldn't be happier that Zhong Buyi invested in Hualai.
Zhong Buyi is a future renowned director, a director who is internationally recognized. He has recently directed the "Young and Dangerous" series, which is a box office hit every time.
Ultimately, while Chu Xiang's script was good, it was still Zhong Buyi's revised version, which was more suited to the pace of Hong Kong.
This person has an exceptional grasp of plot, knows what the audience likes, and can make blockbuster movies with artistry. For Chu Yu, this is an invaluable partner and talent.
Chu Yu was naturally afraid that he would spread his wings and fly high in the future.
She quickly said, "You don't understand cosmetics companies, so why don't you just invest in Hualai instead? That way, we're investing in two movies this year, and your money will be considered part of the company's profits. If the company makes money this year, you'll get a share of the profits proportionally. I'll also try to help you get some shares in the company, so we can all make money together in the future."
Chu Yu's words made Zhong Buyi's eyes widen in astonishment.
He never expected that Chu Yu would allow him to invest in Hualai, and even offer him a share of the profits.
Everyone knows that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is profitable, and everyone knows that Hua Lai's future is limitless, but Chu Yu just gave it to him as he pleased.
Besides receiving a substantial director's fee, Zhong Bu also gets a share of the film's profits. How could he not be happy?
The money earned from making one movie is enough to buy a nice courtyard house in Beijing. With the dividends, buying two or three houses wouldn't be a problem. Given Zhong Buyi's work efficiency, he can make at least three movies a year, which is quite a considerable income.
If we can mentor some well-known actors, and those actors become famous, they can then mentor Zhong Buyi's relatives or children. This way, everyone can exchange resources, which will only bring benefits and no harm.
Moreover, all directors want to enter the Beijing film circle. What Chu Yu doesn't know is that she is already in this circle. Zhong Buyi follows her around and has already one foot in the circle. Sooner or later, he will definitely get in.
In the future, with money and status, Zhong Buyi has nothing to complain about. Chu Yu is a very good boss and a very good investor. She never interferes with his creative work, and she certainly won't force actresses into his projects like other coal mine owners do.
Zhong Buyi could have focused entirely on his creative work; he has his own aspirations in film and hopes to bring Chinese cinema to the world stage.
Clearly, this goal requires Chu Yu and him to achieve together.
Zhong Budong acted quickly, and besides, it was just a matter of adding a few shots, which was really not difficult. It just took some time to call Tang Zhenni over, do the same makeup, and find the same clothes for the scene.
After the footage was fixed, Chu Yu thought about contacting CCTV to insert commercials during the breaks in the TV series.
In the late 1980s, CCTV was still a poor national television station.
The CCTV building was not particularly outstanding; it was square and lacked the grandeur of later buildings. Because it did not attract advertising revenue, the TV station's income was very limited, and the interior decoration of the building was far from luxurious.
Chu Yu came to the CCTV building this time to find out the truth.
She had previously inquired with Mi Fei and learned that all advertising prices on CCTV were uniform.
Unification means fairness, but it also means unfairness.
While advertising prices may seem low and affordable for every private business owner, prime-time advertising slots are actually limited. Everyone wants to build connections and secure a prime spot, which inevitably leads to currying favor with the head of the advertising department.
The head of CCTV's advertising department has changed several times.
There's no other way but to change it. It's always the same few brands advertising; other brands can't get in. Anyone with a brain knows there's something wrong with the head of the advertising department.
In order to ensure fairness and impartiality and avoid criticism, CCTV leadership changed the head of the advertising department four times in three years.
If this person in charge has been in office for more than six months, Chu Yu will stop coming. Six months is enough for an advertising department head to build a good relationship with the business owners. They have their own business owners with whom they have good relationships, and new business owners like Chu Yu can only stand aside.
According to Mi Fei, the new person in charge is surnamed Tang and is a middle-aged woman who gets things done.
This person is completely unyielding; Mi Fei couldn't get through by trying to use connections, so it goes without saying that he couldn't get through to anyone else.
“She won’t sell her connections to anyone. I’ve begged a lot of people, and even tried giving her money—a considerable amount, over ten thousand yuan—but she just ignores me. Chu Yu, are you sure you want to go to her place?”
Chu Yu nodded; the more this kind of person she was, the more she wanted to come.
Relationships are built by oneself. In her previous life, Chu Yu relied on her own two legs to run business. She couldn't just stay at home and wait for people to bring business to her door, could she?
"Hello, I'm looking for Director Tang." Chu Yu knocked on the office door, and Mi Fei followed behind her, peeking inside. He saw a middle-aged woman wearing glasses looking up.
"And you are?" The woman took off her black-rimmed glasses, stared at Chu Yu, and her attitude was fairly friendly. "Which company are you a salesperson for?"
