Chapter 219 The Second Generation Divine Comedy

"Ding-ling~~"

"Hello, millesima company, I'm Oliver."

"What? Chiron? Sorry, we don't sell this brand of wine now. How about I recommend you another one?"

"No? Why..."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Oliver Bernard hung up the phone angrily.

He cursed in his mouth, "Damn it, are you here to cause trouble?"

But soon, the phone started ringing again.

"Hello, Millesima Wine Trading Company, yes, I am, oh, it's you, Mr. Li from China, I know."

"Caillon? Of course I've heard of it. It's a third-class winery, not very famous."

"It tastes like chocolate. It's true that their wine has a unique flavor, but I don't think it's very good."

"Mr. Li, you are our big customer. I can introduce you to the genuine brand of Golden Rose Winery. We have a promotion."

"No, no, no, Mr. Li, Chateau Golden Rose is a second-class winery, located next to Calon. Their wine is also very stable and the quality is very reliable. Don't worry."

"What? You want the Kairon family?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we don't sell this kind of wine anymore!"

After hanging up another call, Oliver Bernard slapped his forehead hard. This Mr. Li was a big customer.

He actually specifically asked for this Calon-Ségur wine?

What is going on?

The phone just hung up and soon rang again.

"Millesima Trading Company... Sorry, we don't sell wine from the Calon family."

…

"I'm Oliver... What, the Cairon family? We're not selling!"

…

“Not for sale!”

…

"We don't f**king sell Calon's wine!"

…

"Father, over a dozen wholesalers that we normally do business with have called us these past two days and specifically requested Calon's wine."

Oliver Bernard looked at his father with a depressed face.

He now began to doubt whether the decision to ban the Chiron family was right or wrong.

If it weren't banned, we could at least buy some bottled wine from them to sell.

Thinking about it, he really felt a little regretful.

Who knew that the wines from this winery would suddenly become so popular?

Patrick Bernard had a serious look on his face and a frown on his face. It was obvious that he had also heard some rumors.

“They suddenly sponsored Southampton for £30 million and took the opportunity to start hyping it up online, especially in the Chinese market, with the main selling points being direct sales from the winery, 100% pure Bordeaux top red wine, and aristocratic taste.”

In recent days, an advertising slogan has begun to circulate in China.

Wine masters with good taste cannot afford the extremely expensive Lafite, so they all drink Calon Ségur with its chocolate and floral aromas!

This is to use whether or not to drink Chiron's wine as a criterion for measuring whether a person has taste and whether he understands wine.

In addition, many people have begun to popularize the Chiron family in newspapers and on the Internet.

The previous owner of the winery, Calon-Séguinage, was a French aristocrat and a world-renowned wine master who owned both Lafite and Latour, but he said something.

"I am with Lafite and Latour, but my heart has always been with Chiron."

This undoubtedly greatly enhances the style of the Chiron family.

As people on the Chinese internet say, it's full of style!

The wine of Calon Ségur is cheap, a bottle costs more than 100 euros, which just caters to the purchasing power of some middle-class people.

Many wealthy people hold banquets and require a large amount of wine. Whether it is the meaning of the wine label, its fame, or its price, Calon Segunda can meet their requirements.

In the past, this model has been a good seller.

Now that there is hype, sales are even higher.

"Father, should we go to them to get the goods?" Oliver Bernard felt that there was no need to go against the business.

Since they don't sell futures wine, they sell ready-made wine.

It's still making money, but it was huge profits before and small profits now.

"No!" Patrick Bernard gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"Not long ago I said I would ban the Chiron family, and now I'm going to ask them for wine. How can I survive in Bordeaux? Who will listen to me in the future?"

"But, father, if we don't sell it, there will definitely be a lot of people who will sell it, and then the business will be snatched away by others!" Oliver Bernard knew that there was such a truth, but the problem was that the business had to be done.

You are not the only wine merchant in the world!

"Even if I don't do business, I will never compromise!" Patrick Bernard also became fierce.

"If they want to play, I'll play with them! With a sponsorship fee of 30 million pounds a year, I don't believe they can play for long!"

If he knew that the boss of the Chiron family was the same person as the boss of Southampton, perhaps he would not play it this way.

Oliver Bernard thought his father was a little stubborn.

But now, my father is in control of the entire company.

There's nothing he can do.

…………

…………

Deng Huatao is a second-generation director with some fame in China.

The so-called second-generation director means that his father is also a director of movies and TV series.

He directed several very popular TV series, but the movies he directed were mostly critically acclaimed but not commercially successful.

This made him feel very depressed.

Someone recommended him a novel before, Love Is Not Blind.

As soon as he saw it, he knew it was the type he liked and the type he was good at.

So, he wanted to adapt it into a movie and started a project.

However, although he is very famous in the TV drama circle, he is not very famous in the film circle, so attracting investment has become a problem.

After finally getting some investment, there is still a lot of funding gap.

So he thought of product placement.

He personally liked Calon Seychelles wine very much. Coincidentally, this chocolate-flavored red wine was also mentioned in the novel, so he decided to give it a try and called Calon Seychelles to get some sponsorship.

Just six figures would be enough, after all, his investment in the entire movie was only a few million.

He hadn't heard from anyone for several days, and he became discouraged and started thinking about finding another way out.

But who could have thought that suddenly the Chiron family called and said they were interested in investing and asked him to visit the UK.

Originally he was worried that it was a scam and didn't want to come.

But in recent days, Chiron's domestic advertisements, especially those on the Internet, have suddenly increased.

Especially two days ago, a wealthy man in Longhai City said that he would invest 50 million to build a unique Calon wine tasting castle in Longhai, which caused a huge uproar in China.

So his colleagues encouraged him to give it a try.

As a result, as soon as he landed, he was stunned.

The car that picked him up was a Rolls-Royce, and the driver was a typical British gentleman, polite and well-dressed.

That taste, that style, is just different.

There was no conversation along the way from London to Southampton.

When we arrived in Southampton and entered the city, we stopped at an office building. The parking lot alone was huge enough.

All of them are luxury cars. The scene and scale are terrifying.

Even this office building looks different.

In one word, chaos.

The first floor is a mess, the second floor is very messy, and the third floor is even messier.

When he went up one level, it was no longer a mess, but it still shocked him.

"Uncle Psy?" As Deng Huatao entered the door, he saw the chubby Uncle Psy Du Ziteng.

He is a fat guy himself, so he feels that Psy’s image is particularly approachable and close to him.

Looking more closely, the person standing next to Psy is none other than the beautiful Yoona.

Wow, this is incredible, it turns out this is the company that wants to invest in my movie!

Deng Huatao was a little dumbfounded on the spot.

"Who are you? Don't stand there like an idiot and get in the way. Get out!"

A handsome young man who looked to be around twenty years old suddenly appeared, pointed at him and started scolding him.

Then another young man, who looked harmless, came over with bad intentions.

That look made Deng Huatao suddenly aware of something.

"Don't do it, don't do it, I'm Chinese, I'm from China, director!"

"Oh, it's you!" The 20-year-old handsome boy understood and waved his hand, "Stay aside for now and don't interfere with our work."

"Okay, okay!" Deng Huatao immediately walked aside and waited.

It was obvious that the handsome boy was the core figure of this group of people, and he was talking about something with Psy and Yoona.

"The most interesting thing about this song 'Fox Call' is that it imitates the calls of many kinds of animals. This is why I asked you to go to China to learn ventriloquism."

Uncle Bird nodded his head as he listened, "Master Huan, do you mean to use ventriloquism to imitate the sounds of animals?"

"No, there's no need to imitate. The most important purpose is to make fun of it and make it interesting. So the sound doesn't have to be similar, but it can't be completely off-key either. Between being similar and not being similar, the most important thing is that it's interesting!"

Yang Huan introduced Psy and Yoona with a smile.

"Next, when we shoot the music video, everyone has to put on makeup to look like animals. I specially invited a famous Hollywood makeup artist to do it, also to highlight the spoof. I even plan to use animation special effects to make a realistic fox that can dance to the rhythm."

"A dancing fox?" Lin Yoona couldn't help but smile when she heard it.

This Young Master Huan is just like that, he always comes up with some weird things.

"Okay, everyone go get ready, the lyrics and the song are already ready, we have to finish it within a week!"

After saying that, Yang Huan clapped his hands, and Psy, Yoona, and the surrounding staff all went about their business.

This song "Fox's Roar" is a second-generation divine song that Young Master Huan attaches great importance to. Who dares to be careless?

Deng Huatao had been watching from the side, his attention always on Yang Huan.

He had heard of Yang Huan before.

This magical young master made Psy and Yoona famous.

Miracle Entertainment only has three artists in total, and Psy and Yoona are already world-famous superstars.

The Japanese actress Maki Horikita, who was finally signed, has also become very popular in Japan recently.

It’s not easy. It’s definitely not easy.

If we could get his investment, let alone one or two million, I'm afraid we would have no problem making another big production.

So, as soon as he saw Yang Huan coming over, Deng Huatao immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Master Huan."

Yang Huan looked at the fat man who claimed to be a director and asked, "Do you know me?"

"I just heard Psy shout that." Deng Huatao laughed.

"May I have your name?"

"Deng Huatao."

"Deng Huatao?" Yang Huan waved at Long Wu, immediately took out an iPad and searched directly on Baidu.

"Wow, it turns out that these TV series were all directed by you. I really like watching them."

Now he was sure that this person was the director of the small-scale, high-grossing dark horse movie "Love Is Not Blind" in his previous life.

"It's me." Deng Huatao immediately straightened his back.

At least, I, your brother, also have a place in Young Master Huan's heart, right?

"By the way, what's the name of the movie you're currently filming?"

"Love Is Not Blind" is based on the famous Douban novel of the same name. It has a lot of fans and is very down-to-earth."

Yang Huan said "oh", and now he was even more certain.

That’s right, it’s him!

“What’s the budget for your film?”

"Seven million."

"Oh, it's nothing, just 70 million RMB."

70 million RMB?

That’s all?

Deng Huatao was really dumbfounded at that moment.

"Master Huan, I'm talking about RMB."

"Oh, I thought it was the Euro!" Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

"If it's RMB, it won't be a problem at all!"

This young master earns three to four million pounds a day, which is equivalent to tens of millions of RMB, enough for you to make several movies.

"Okay, you are a famous director in China after all. You can't continue to do shameless things like soliciting investment everywhere. It's a loss of face for you!"

Deng Huatao was moved by what he heard and felt that he really understood me.

I am a director with some fame, and I have to beg for investment everywhere. Do you think it's easy for me?

"That's it, we at Miracle Entertainment have invested in this movie!"

Deng Huatao was so excited. He negotiated an investment of seven million with just these few words. What a bold move!

Compared with this Young Master Huan, those petty film investors in China should just jump into the sea.

However, he soon thought of another question.

"Master Huan, it still doesn't work!"
