Chinatown, sunset.
After Zhang Xincheng arrived in Chinatown, Li Zhaoyang and Zhang Shulan got out of the car.
For some reason, after witnessing the whole process, Zhang Shulan actually took the initiative to straighten Zhaoyang's collar when she got out of the car this time: "Several old foxes from various groups were actually outmaneuvered by you alone, Zhaoyang, you're really something."
Li Zhaoyang scratched the back of his head and chuckled. His wicked demeanor vanished, replaced by the familiar, simple Zhaoyang.
Actually, the most important part of this plan is not the musical works, but Zhaoyang's representative identity.
Without this representative status, Noda and his team might actually dare to refuse those demands despite the pressure. Chairman Ka might only feel a little uncomfortable, but he definitely wouldn't say anything.
But having this representative identity makes all the difference.
Often, it represents the image of the association.
After parking his car, Zhang Xincheng immediately called Lao Gou. Now he had the answer in his mind and could answer Lao Gou's question.
I don't know how Lao Gou reacted; he was probably shocked.
Li Zhaoyang didn't pay much attention, but then Yang Kai called.
It's already around 5 PM, almost time to get off work.
Director Yang might be a little anxious too.
After all, it concerns whether the movie can start filming smoothly.
"Hey, Director Li, what's the situation?" Yang Kai realized his tone was a bit harsh, forced himself to calm down, and asked again after a few seconds: "Kimura has already taken over 18 scenic spots, and I've heard that they've all been rented for about two months."
Li Zhaoyang: "Where are you?"
Yang Kai said, puzzled, "I'm in a small rural town."
The rural town is a 3A scenic area.
Li Zhaoyang: "If we work overtime tonight, we can start filming smoothly tomorrow. Now take A Si and the others to the sunset area to meet up. We'll go to check out the filming location later."
Sihai Group has acquired several 5A scenic spots, and he needs to first check whether the largest 5A scenic spot is suitable.
If it doesn't suit you, then change it.
There are several 5A ratings; surely one of them will suit you.
Yang Kai: "Has the filming location issue been resolved?"
Li Zhaoyang: "Mm."
Yang Kai still remembers what Director Li had said before, that a great show would be performed tonight or tomorrow morning.
I haven't even seen any good show yet, has it already ended?
Moreover, Yang Kai was in charge of how the filming location was acquired without any apparent reason.
Would he not know whether he'd secured the venue or not?
What method did they use for the sunset?
Yang Kai couldn't figure it out and didn't want to guess, so he took Ah Si and his men straight to Chinatown.
About half an hour.
A black minivan was parked downstairs at the Sunset Building in Chinatown.
Yang Kai, A Si, and a group of brothers got off the car.
Ah Si was the first to speak up: "Director Li, Kimura from Sihai Group is like he's on steroids. He's taken on nearly 20 scenic spots in one go. Doesn't he worry about indigestion?"
The Sihai Group has a wide range of businesses, including film and television.
Unless the contract is split between the crows and the sun, the entire Sihai family alone cannot absorb it all.
After all, the lease agreement is for two months.
It will be the end of the year by then.
"Director Yang, you lead the way. Let's go inspect the largest 5A scenic area that Sihai Group has secured." Li Zhaoyang got into the passenger seat.
Zhang Xincheng was the one driving the car.
Yang Kai was completely confused: "Weren't we supposed to be checking out filming locations? Why did it change to the Sihai Group's place...?"
He remembered all the scenic spots that Sihai Group had acquired, especially the largest one, the pastoral town, where the scenery was excellent and the air quality was good.
but.
What does this have to do with their filming location?
"Let's talk in the car, come over here." Zhang Xincheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, beckoned Yang Kai to get in the car.
Ah Si drives his own car.
The group drove off like this, with Yang Kai leading the way.
At first he was very confused, really very confused.
Could Sunset possibly snatch back the pastoral town that Sihai Group acquired?
Obviously, it's impossible. In terms of financial resources, Sunset is miles behind Sihai, so it's impossible for them to compete in terms of wealth.
Then we can only rely on other options.
So... what are we competing for?
On the way, Yang Kai pointed out the directions while listening to Zhang Xincheng explain the entire plan.
After hearing this, Yang Kai was not shocked. Instead, he laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Haha, Mr. Zhang is really good at joking."
"Zhaoyang, the contract." Zhang Xincheng knew that Director Yang wouldn't believe him just by talking.
Even if Director Yang didn't believe it, Zhang Xincheng wouldn't have believed it either if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
All three heads of the group were dumped by Li Zhaoyang.
First, they offered to transfer the filming location for free, then they got movie contracts, and even Rizhao had to obediently contribute $10 million.
Even if you contribute $3 million to the association, that's still $7 million.
7 million US dollars is equivalent to approximately 49 million Chinese yuan.
This amount of money isn't much for a sunset like this, but... it's free, so why not take it?
This is a windfall.
Yang Kai was the assistant director of this film, and his contract regarding the filming location was neither against regulations nor a breach of confidentiality.
After reading it carefully, Yang Kai felt a little itchy in his head.
This contract is legally binding.
Moreover, it was signed by Li Zhaoyang and Noda Ichito of the Sihai Group.
Ah, my head is so itchy!
"No... Noda... he just transferred that idyllic town over for free like that?" Yang Kai knew the size of the idyllic town.
It's not just about size, but mainly about development.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to define it as a 5A scenic spot.
The contract wasn't actually transferred for free; an additional 1 yuan was charged.
It will definitely cost at least 1 yuan. If it's a free transfer, then other materials are needed, which is too troublesome. It's faster to just indicate 1 yuan.
"Let me sort this out... Was Director Li busy with this just now?" Yang Kai recalled the joke that President Zhang had just made.
So this isn't a joke?
Is it true?
Did Director Lee trick Noda and the others?
No way, it would be plausible if that old fox was tricked by other business tycoons.
Director Li tricked me... No movie would dare to film a story like this.
