"In addition to Taohuawu as the core, areas such as Ming and Qing palaces and Jiangnan Fenghua have been planted in appropriate locations. Currently, there are 17 selected ornamental peach blossoms with different varieties. The flowering period is from mid-March to mid-April. Lasts up to a month.”
Western suburbs of Suzhou.
Jinshu Film and Television City in Huqiu District.
Simon strolled in the Taohuawu Scenic Area, where large peach blossoms bloomed, followed by a large group of people including Chen Qing, the person in charge of the film and television city He Ze, Zhu Momo's mother Mo Yiling, and others.
Listening to Chen Qing's introduction and feeling the light fragrance in the air, Simon walked a few more steps and sat down in an antique pavilion. He waited for Chen Qing, He Ze and Mo Wuling to sit down together and looked around. Asked: "Do you know what I am most satisfied with here?"
Mo Wuling and He Ze were puzzled for a moment. Chen Qing used her eyes to drive away the people around her who were not qualified to sit down. She gestured towards the gentle hills full of peach blossoms next to her and said with a smile: "It should be the mountain flowers, weeds and stones under the peach blossom trees." The spring flows."
"Yes," Simon nodded, admiring the picturesque scenery of peach blossoms and spring grass around him, and said, "Peach blossom landscapes are very common in China. I also found that some places have special peach blossom festivals, but most peach blossom landscapes are often ignored. The details around the flower trees are either exposed loess or chaotic piles of stones. When you are among them, you will not only feel unattractive, but also have a sense of dissonance, like a man with flowers on his head."
Seeing Simon say this, Mo Yiling also discovered why he felt so comfortable after walking all the way. In the final analysis, a certain man emphasized more than once, details, details, and details.
However, Mo Yiling somewhat complained.
The so-called details are all made with money. Others may not have thought of these, but they simply don't have the money to be so meticulous.
Not to mention the peach blossoms in the surrounding area, there are only mountain flowers and wild grasses blooming under the peach blossom trees. There is a whole team of trained professional gardeners here to maintain it. No other place can afford this kind of money.
Seeing that the big boss had no intention of moving for a while, Yu Tingyu, who came to dance for Simon on the cruise ship last time, came forward with a few girls and made tea for everyone on the spot.
After chatting casually and drinking a cup of tea, Chen Qing suggested: "Boss, the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is in the west, and Jing Xi is also there. Come and take a look?"
"OK."
Simon nodded, got up and followed Chen Qing to the west, saying: "The peach blossoms here are so beautiful, there should be many tourists recently, right?"
"Yeah, we can't stop them. We can only send people to keep an eye on them and don't break branches. There are also some enclosed project sites that are not allowed to enter," Chen Qing explained, but she didn't say that she spent a lot of money on Simon's trip today. He didn't think much about stopping tourists from appearing around, but said: "By the way, boss, that stone is already on fire."
"Um?"
"Three lives, three lives, ten miles of peach blossoms."
"Oh, how hot is it?"
"The TV stations have reported it, and many people came here to take pictures. Everyone now calls the stone the 'Three Lives Stone'. The Three Lives Stone, does the boss know?" Chen Qing thought she was talking nonsense when she asked, and immediately said with certainty: "The boss must know."
Simon said: "There seems to be a poem that begins with the old spirit on the Sansheng Stone. I can't remember the details. In addition, I really like "A Dream of Red Mansions"."
Chen Qing secretly wrote down a certain beginning and planned to help her boss check it later. As she walked, she continued: "This year's scenery is actually average, and the peach trees are still small. Next, we need to build and transplant them based on this year's flowering effect. Maybe add some more varieties, and the supporting antique buildings have not been built yet. It will be ready next year. By the way, the boss asked me to transplant century-old trees, and I have planted 27 trees so far. Over there, boss, look, there are about 300 A lot of thought was put into the ginkgo trees. Also, the designers of the twelve inns made a suggestion that they could be named after ancient trees, and transplant one kind into each inn, such as Ginkgo Garden, How about Guishuyuan?"
"Can."
"One more thing," Chen Qing said with a smile: "The TV series idea proposed by the boss last time, "Times Past", can it be launched when Taohuawu is initially completed next year?"
"You can arrange this yourself."
Chen Qing realized that her boss still wanted to let go completely, so she said no more.
Everyone climbed over a gentle hill and saw the lively and busy crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". They obviously noticed this group of people there.
Ren Jingxi came over with his assistant Gu Yu, walked up to him, opened his arms generously and hugged Simon, saying at the same time: "Boss, I guess you might come."
Simon let go of Ren Jingxi, who was still looking pretty in overalls, and asked with a smile, "How did you guess that?"
Ren Jingxi gestured around, looking like, "Do you even need to ask?"
It was very lively here in the past few days. Just recently, ordinary tourists were suddenly no longer allowed to approach. The city government even issued a special document stating that there was important foreign affairs reception work and no idlers were allowed to come.
Ren Jingxi is a fool if he can't guess anymore.
Coming to the edge of the set, there is a small artificial lake. The small lake is surrounded by peach blossoms. Next to the lake is a small classical courtyard. According to the story setting, this is probably where Zhao Ling'er lived in seclusion in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Ren Jingxi casually introduced the production progress of the series next to Simon. After a group of shots over there were filmed, several main creators were also called over.
Except for the little maid who acted as the heroine, several other people looked in disbelief at seeing Simon Westeros appear here and chatted for a while. Except for the little maid who was told to stay here, the others The people were sent away to continue their business.
When the others walked away, Simon asked Ren Jingxi beside him: "Is the director from Hong Kong?"
Ren Jingxi nodded: "Yes, our show has exactly five main creators from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The application has been approved, no problem."
This Q&A is mainly due to a recent document.
After the conference some time ago, just recently, the Yamen, which had just been reorganized from the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television into the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, set off its first fire, issuing the "About Strengthening the Regulation on Recruiting People from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan" Notice on Practitioners’ Participation in the Production and Management of Radio and Television Programs”.
The core of this document is to restrict employees from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan from participating in the production of mainland TV programs. The core clause is that no more than 5 Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan creatives can be hired for TV series, and no more than 3 people can be hired for variety shows.
The rumor was released last year.
As for the reason, it is because "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is so popular that it really makes too many people feel that their jobs are seriously threatened. In addition, many of the directors and starring actors of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" are from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and in recent years Other related film and television dramas this year are also following this trend, and this announcement was made with the instigation of all parties.
Actually it's more than that.
The conference that just passed clearly discussed the topic of supporting the film and television cultural industry. However, Chen Qing's expectation last year that the film and television industry would further open up to the outside world has not happened at all. Instead, it has tightened restrictions on employees from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. This document is proof.
The reason is not hard to guess.
The Jinshu series is indeed a bit too eye-catching.
The topic changed, and Ren Jingxi talked about the "Survivor" reality show he was producing. It had been selected and planned to be shot in Shangri-La, which was the Shangri-La scenic spot where the exact location was just determined last year.
The project has also encountered some obstacles.
Some people take the original American "Survivor" reality show as an example and think that the almost unscrupulous competition for the 1 million prize money is too money-worshiping.
Simon also knows that "Super Girl", which was a hit last year, was reported again some time ago for promoting incorrect values to mislead young people to pursue fame and fortune. blah blah blah, even if the board is not dropped in the end, Jinshu's production this year is the first In the second season, you must be careful.
In short, there are all kinds of troubles.
Simon, on the other hand, likes to hear it, and the more troublesome it is, the better.
After walking around like this, looking and talking, it was noon in a blink of an eye.
Mo Yiling, He Ze and others said goodbye and left. Simon took Chen Qing back to the cruise ship on Taihu Lake for dinner, and Ren Jingxi followed.
After getting on the cruise ship, Chen Qing ran to prepare lunch. Ren Jingxi found a break and came to sit next to Simon. Together they looked at the vast sparkling Taihu Lake in the leisure cabin and said, "My father and I confessed."
Simon listened to Ren Jingxi's sudden words and just smiled and asked: "Did you get beaten?"
"No," Ren Jingxi looked at the man next to her with clear eyes and said, "I also said that man doesn't want me anymore."
"How did your father react?"
"Just ask me not to wrong myself," Ren Jingxi's words were a little soft without realizing it, and he still looked at Simon: "Then I felt a little wronged."
"Um?"
"Why don't you want me anymore?"
"The truth is that there are too many women around me. The lie is that you are a good girl and should have your own life. Which one do you want to hear?"
"You've already said it, how can I choose?"
"Did I say it?"
Ren Jingxi nodded firmly: "Yes."
"Then there's no need to choose."
"Haha," Ren Jingxi chuckled and quickly said, "I'm only 25 years old now."
"Oh, you're so young, so I didn't pay attention."
Ren Jingxi looked at the man opposite him: "I mean, I don't plan to consider personal issues until I'm 30, so, do you have time tonight?"
Simon smiled and said: "This... really doesn't happen."
As soon as the words were spoken, two girls, one large and one small, had already walked in. The so-called size mainly refers to the degree of aggressiveness.
Ren Jingxi looked over and saw Lin Zhao's fierce aura. She immediately understood that she was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't force it. The reason why she just said that was more out of a sense of gratitude deep in her heart. If the man doesn't need it, she won't force him.
He also took the initiative to say hello to the two sisters, who looked very obvious: "Hello."
Lin Zhao and Ren Jingxi met once and nodded to each other.
Lin Zhi also followed her sister to greet Ren Jingxi, and then sat directly in Simon's arms generously, raising a mobile phone in her hand: "Simon, I took a lot of photos, look."
Simon held the little waist of the girl in his arms and looked at the screen of the girl's iBerry phone together.
This is a mobile phone with a main color of light pink. The official name of Tinker Bayer is iBerry-10 Ultra. The last Ultra suffix is Simon's naming directly skipping Pro, Plus, etc., because this mobile phone with only 100,000 units in the world is 'extreme' enough.
After acquiring the Canadian company RIM last year, which once produced BlackBerry mobile phones, Tinker Bayer was developing the first iBerry mobile phone based on the plan given by Simon, while also thinking about how to make it a hit.
One of the final marketing plans is this concept model that integrates Tinco Bayer's top technologies.
Just say one thing and you can see the difference.
The regular version of iBerry is priced at US$799, which is in the same range as the iRec digital camera, while the global limited edition of iBerry-10 Ultra is priced as high as US$2,999, and not everyone can buy it. Only users who have accumulated a certain level of points are eligible to subscribe.
Because the global limited edition is only 100,000 units, not everyone can buy it even if they meet the qualifications.
Let’s talk about the phone itself, priced at $2,999, it’s definitely worth the money.
Because it was for marketing purposes, Tinker Bayer had no intention of making a profit from it, so the most advanced technology and the most sci-fi materials were all piled on this concept model, which is also larger than iBerry. From the outside to the inside, it has a titanium alloy body, a sapphire screen, the first camera phone, an upgraded ARM processor chip, a storage capacity of 128M that is far greater than the ordinary version, and even a built-in program that can directly send Facebook and Instagram pictures and blogs, etc. , all exclusive to this Ultra version.
Even if Tinker Bayer launches a regular version of the camera phone in the next few years, this concept version will not be outdated and is highly collectible.
In addition, if you use the Ultra version to directly send FB and INS blog posts, there will also be an attached "from iBerry-10 Ultra" little tail. This seemingly inconspicuous little program is actually a big killer that takes advantage of the common vanity of mankind. .
Of course, with the current level of technology, maintaining this 'vanity' phone plan is also very expensive.
In addition, the price of US$2,999 does not seem high. It is only equivalent to a month’s salary of many Americans. However, given the common income level of Westerners, whose salary is often equal to their expenses and it is difficult for them to have any savings, in fact, it is not just for everyone. It's affordable, it's completely luxury level.
Not only that, this phone will appear in a large number of movies produced by Daenerys Entertainment like Nokia, and its implicit positioning will be even higher than that of Nokia, which is becoming more and more affordable.
In the past, BlackBerry accidentally became popular because it was used by then US Vice President Dick Cheney during the 911 incident. This time, driven by the Westeros system, it is conceivable that the iBerry series will soon become a key product of Tinker Bayer. Main hit. Moreover, because it focuses on high-end products, it will not form a clear competition with Nokia.
Cabin rest city.
Simon held Lin Zhi and played with the phone in the girl's hand. Even Ren Jingxi, who didn't care too much about the cost of clothing, became interested and wondered whether to buy one for his younger siblings. After learning the price, he also knew It was only after I couldn’t use it in China that I regretted giving up.
