"I see you've been quite busy recently. Are you done with your work?" Zhou Jinyu put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked Zhao Yi's eyes.
"You have something to say!" Zhao Yi was very straightforward. He paused for a moment with the chopsticks in his hand. After speaking, he continued to put rice into his mouth.
Seeing that Zhao Yi did not stop to answer his question seriously, Zhou Jinyu was a little "annoyed" and said coquettishly: "Can't I just care about you? Don't be so resistant."
Hearing her words, Zhao Yi put his rice bowl on the table, wiped his mouth with the tissue next to him, put his elbows on the table, looked at Zhou Jinyu and said, "Then I thank you for your concern. I have indeed been free recently. If nothing happens, I probably won’t get busy again until next year.”
Hearing what Zhao Yi said, Zhou Jinyu said happily: "That's great, come with me for a walk tomorrow. We haven't gone out together since you became busy."
"I'll tell you there's nothing good going on. It's not impossible to go out for a walk, but where to go?" Zhao Yi said angrily.
But Zhao Yi also knew that Zhou Jinyu felt that he had stayed at home for too long, and wanted to take him out to get some fresh air. In nearly a year, he had hardly been out.
"Just be content. Others want a beautiful lady like me to go shopping with them." Zhou Jinyu said in a coquettish tone.
"This beautiful lady, I thank you for taking pity on me, but I already have a girlfriend, so you can't compare me to other men." Zhao Yi said with a smile.
When Zhou Jinyu heard what Zhao Yi said, most of her good mood immediately dissipated, and the look she looked at Zhao Yi was no longer as natural as before.
As soon as Zhao saw Zhou Jinyu's expression, he knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, but he did not regret what he had just said, and it was also true.
Zhou Jinyu was just disappointed for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "For a young and wealthy young man like you, would you mind having another girlfriend?"
When Zhao heard Zhou Jinyu's words, he almost spit out the tea he had just taken but had not yet swallowed. Fortunately, he controlled it in time and did not lose his composure.
"What era are we in now? That kind of thing is no longer popular. And boyfriend and girlfriend are not just men and women, there must also be emotional resonance between the two. Forget it, you don't understand even if you tell me." Zhao One said.
"Why don't I understand?" Zhou Jinyu was obviously stimulated by his words "You don't understand even if I tell you", and her voice raised an octave.
Zhao Yidu was frightened by her raised voice and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, you understand, let's go to the head office. Why are you so excited? By the way, you should find a boyfriend and have a good relationship."
"It's up to you. Didn't you just say that making boyfriend and girlfriend is not just about men and women, but also about emotional resonance. So I won't fall in love before I find a man who has emotional resonance." Zhou Jinyu seemed to be very interested in this explanation. Satisfied, he said with a smile.
"Thankfully, you are still a people's teacher. Emotional resonance does not arise out of thin air. You have to start with contact first. Otherwise, it will be the same as a person who wants to become a rich man but doesn't even bother to make a small amount of money. How can he become a rich man?" Zhao One said.
"Why are you preaching again? I just asked you if you are free to go out with me tomorrow. If you don't go, I will drag you in." Zhou Jinyu, who thought he was no match for speculation, simply acted like a rogue.
"Here we go again, okay, okay, okay, I can go out with you tomorrow." Zhao Yi said funny.
"That's pretty much it. Since you're full, why don't you accompany me to watch TV first?" Zhou Jinyu stood up with a smile, holding his hand and walking towards the sofa in the living room.
Seeing Zhou Jinyu like this, Zhao Yi was really helpless. Although he was one year younger than her, he felt that he had to worry about a lot of things for her, and he was more like her brother.
To be honest, the fixed time for watching TV with Zhou Jinyu is the only time he has to watch TV series. He usually doesn't watch TV series, and of course he doesn't have that much time to watch TV series.
What he does most is watch the news. If he gets busy, he can ask Xiao Ling to report major news events to him, so that he can stay at home and stay out of touch with the outside world.
What was playing on TV was "The Song Dynasty", one of the dynasty TV series produced by Qing Ning Entertainment Company. The reason why it was not called "The Song Dynasty" was because I felt that in terms of great achievements, the Song Dynasty was not worthy of praise.
Although the humanistic development of the Song Dynasty was very prosperous, and the economic scale was ranked among the highest in ancient history, what our country pays attention to is Wenzhi and martial arts. Wenzhi alone is still a bit meaningless.
According to Qing Ning Entertainment's plan, the Dynasty TV series will be filmed and broadcast twice every year. Even if there is not enough time or the conditions are not met, for example, the relevant film and television buildings have not been completed, at least one needs to be guaranteed to look good.
Because our country's history is so long, even if we produce two films a year, it will take more than ten years to complete them all, so we are still quite tight on time.
However, the speed of two films per year is already the limit of Qing Ning Entertainment. This is not because there are not enough filming crews, but in order to truly restore the characteristics of the era, a lot of meticulous preparations need to be done.
Because Lime Entertainment's Dynasty series of movies is a historical drama, many things are not just imagined, but need to be based on historical basis, which requires a lot of time and effort to study.
After enough information is collected, it needs to be adapted into film and television dramas. Without departing from historical facts, the content should be made as entertaining as possible to arouse the public's desire to watch.
A few years ago, the domestic people's requirements for film and television dramas were not very high. No matter what kind of film or television drama it was, the people could watch it with gusto.
But things are different now. Due to the capital, technology and scale of Green Lemon Entertainment, the domestic film and television drama industry is developing at a rapid pace, and there are too many high-quality TV dramas created every year.
As long as the TV series can be broadcast on TV stations, they are all carefully produced. No matter the pictures, costumes, props and plots, they can withstand the fight.
After the baptism of high-quality TV series in the past few years, the tastes of the audience have also been raised. This is naturally what Zhao Yi hopes to see. It was because of this that Qing Ning Entertainment Company was established.
In fact, Lime Entertainment did meet his expectations and greatly improved the aesthetic taste of domestic audiences. As a result, the imported shoddy films basically had no market in the mainland.
Moreover, Green Lemon Entertainment Company is also quite ambitious. It not only occupies an absolute position in the field of domestic film and television dramas, but also does not rest on its laurels and still strives to innovate.
It’s just that the development speed in the past few years has been too fast, which has made it increasingly difficult to create high-quality TV series, and the production costs have also increased.
Fortunately, most of the current costs still lie in the production of film and television dramas themselves, and the proportion of actors is not high. Unlike in the past, it is a bit outrageous that the lead actor can take the majority of a TV series.
The result is that apart from handsome men and beautiful women, there is nothing else worthy of praise. People who watch this kind of movies and TV series and are still fans must be so empty and lonely that they can enjoy it endlessly. At least Zhao Yi cannot understand this behavior.
It is precisely because he can't stand the chaos in the film and television industry in his previous life, and he hopes to use Green Lemon Entertainment to change this trend so that outstanding actors can devote their energy to film and television scripts.
It's not that there were no actors in the past life who wanted to focus on their professional work as actors, but the atmosphere in the film and television industry at that time was bad. Apart from focusing on fame, nothing else seemed necessary.
This forces many capable actors to have no choice but to show up and participate in variety shows. As a result, they are not very good at their jobs as actors, and instead become variety show stars. This is such an ironic thing.
When it comes to allocating resources for Qing Ning Entertainment, the company does not focus on heroes based on reputation, but takes into account all factors. Among them, whether the acting level and actor temperament are consistent is the first choice, and the others are relatively secondary.
In addition, in order to allow more newcomers to be trained, there is also a new talent training plan. A certain amount of resources will be allocated every year to train newcomers who enter the film and television drama industry and help them grow.
Only if there are enough talents for film and television dramas in China, Qing Ning Entertainment will have more choices. This is for their own future plans and to prevent them from being collectively kidnapped by leading actors in the future.
Of course, we can do this because our country has a large population and the market is large enough to accommodate enough talents for film and television dramas. Like Hong Kong in the previous life, only the old people came and went, and there were very few opportunities for new faces to appear. .
This is not what the Hong Kong film and television industry wants to do, but because their own market size limits the number of talents they can accommodate. If they want to train more new people, they don’t have the ability to do so. They can only reuse the elderly, but there is no high probability of this happening. Loss.
After watching two episodes of "The Song Dynasty" with Zhou Jinyu, Zhao Yi went back to his room to rest. He hoped to rest in advance, otherwise people might doze off while shopping.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yi woke up at the usual time. This biological clock was already quite on time. Then he washed up and went to have breakfast.
When I saw Zhou Jinyu sitting at the dining table, I was a little surprised. Normally, she would get up later than me. Especially during the busy period, I basically eat breakfast alone and rarely see her.
"I got up quite early. As expected, women become more energetic when they hear about shopping." Zhao Yi joked.
"Of course you have to get up early and dress up. These all take time. Unlike you men, you can just wash up." Zhou Jinyu said matter-of-factly.
"You can't just change your plan blindly, right?" Zhao Yi asked.
"You don't have to worry about it. I've already planned it. Just follow me." Zhou Jinyu said mysteriously.
Hearing what she said, Zhao Yi felt relieved. What he was more afraid of was wandering around casually. This was simply intolerable for him who always had a plan in doing things.
"That's good." Zhao Yi replied.
Then Zhou Jinyu ate his breakfast quietly, while Zhao asked Xiao Ling to report on the hot global news from yesterday to this year while Zhao was eating breakfast. Except for Xiao Ling's voice, everyone else at the scene was relatively quiet.
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Jinyu said he wanted to dress up, and after Zhao Yi finished eating, he also went to his laboratory to get a temporary mask.
You must know that he is not as unknown as before. Now when he walks on the street, he is likely to be recognized by others. Although he looks a bit ordinary, he cannot be said to be a popular face and has a certain degree of recognition.
I decided to go out last night, so I made a mask using the facial skin of a high-end robot. After putting it on, it was difficult to detect anything unusual without looking closely at it.
Since it is made from ready-made materials, it is not difficult to make. Last night, I asked a high-end robot to help me make one in advance. This time, I just need to take it away.
Wearing a mask, he came to the place where he lived, changed his clothes, and went to the living room. Seeing Zhou Jinyu already waiting in the living room, the two of them went out together, while the security personnel chose to follow them from a distance to prevent anyone from letting anyone in. Discover how they are different from ordinary people.
Sitting in the car with Zhou Jinyu, Zhao Yi took out the mask from his pocket and wiped it on his face. After a while, his face changed into another look, much more handsome than his true appearance.
Zhou Jinyu watched his movements as if they were magic tricks, and felt that they were very magical. After he put on the mask, she got closer to see clearly, and even couldn't help but wipe his face with her hands.
To be honest, even with such a close observation, Zhou Jinyu did not find any obvious traces of makeup. She was surprised to see such a situation.
"This will be my exclusive mask from now on. I will wear this mask when I go out. When you see this face, you will recognize me." Zhao Yi said jokingly.
"Is it necessary to be so mysterious?" Zhou Jinyu asked.
"It's very necessary. If we want our lives to be undisturbed in the future, we have to do this. You may not be particularly sensitive to my identity. It's best not to mention my name to the outside world, otherwise it will bring great trouble to us. trouble." Zhao Yi emphasized.
When Zhou Jinyu heard what he said, he nodded obediently, although he was unclear about many things about Zhao Yi and was sometimes mysterious.
But judging from the company's annual meeting every year, at least the wealth is astonishing. If you are not careful, it is indeed easy for others to make plans, which will bring great disaster to him or the people related to him.
And judging from the black technology products he occasionally takes out, he must have a lot of high-tech technology in his hands. Compared with these high-tech and even black-tech technologies, wealth is nothing.
As long as he is kidnapped and the technology in his mind is forced out, the benefits will not only be comparable to the wealth, but it will be easy to improve the overall strength of a country.
This is why his industry is developing wantonly in the country. Not only is it not blocked by the government, but it is also tolerated invisibly. Even many fields are very difficult for others to enter, but it is much easier for him. .
In addition to having enough capital in his hands, the technology in his hands is also one of the important reasons. For the government, the technology in his hands is much more important than wealth.
Take the agricultural field, which seems to have little content, as an example. Even if ordinary people have capital, they can only expand horizontally, and technological improvement is actually very limited.
But once Zhao participated in the development of domestic agriculture, it was different. It was not just the horizontal expansion brought about by capital, but also the use of many high-tech technologies, which greatly improved the development of my country's agricultural technology and vertically improved the level of my country's agricultural development.
Vertically improving the level of agricultural technology is a real improvement in my country's overall strength, not just large scale. If it is large but not strong, it will be more difficult to develop later.
The most typical example is that as personnel salaries increase, agricultural costs rise, and the economic benefits brought by scale will gradually be compressed. Without technological breakthroughs, progress will stagnate.
And his enterprises engaged in the agricultural field have expanded very quickly not only because of their capital advantages, allowing our people to enjoy more agricultural products.
And due to the improvement of technology, the quality of the agricultural products provided to the country is leading the world. Regardless of the fact that the price of their products sold in the country is not high, that is because they have self-compressed profit margins in order to take care of the domestic income level.
Although the agricultural products they export are the same kind of agricultural products, the price has increased several times, and the supply is still in short supply. This is the true situation of the growth of profit space brought by technological improvement.
Therefore, when faced with Zhao Yi's warning, Zhou Jinyu also understood the importance and did not take advantage of it, but just nodded silently.
Then Zhao Yi asked the security guard sitting in front to send his current appearance to the security team members. If the security guard didn't even recognize him by then, then he would be doing a crappy security job.
After getting ready, Zhao Yi asked: "Then where are we going now?"
"I just finished eating and I'm not suitable for high-intensity activities, so let's go get our hair done." Zhou Jinyu replied.
Although going to the barber shop felt boring, since he agreed to her, he just let her do what she wanted. As for himself, he was not so particular about haircuts and could just deal with it with a straight haircut.
So the driver drove to the most famous barber shop in the business district. When Zhao Yi and Zhou Jinyu got off the car, they looked at the front of the barber shop in front of them. Not to mention, it looked very fashionable, and the store occupied a large area. of.
After entering, Zhao Yi stood nearby, watching Zhou Jinyu communicate with the barber shop service staff about what hairstyle was suitable. Looking at the reference hairstyle they took, Zhao Yi felt a hint of the flavor of his previous life.
You must know that it is only the 1980s, and braids and short hair down to the neck are still very popular. Older people wear their hair in a bun behind their heads. As for sexy and fashionable hairstyles, it is basically impossible to find them, at least in the past life.
It had been a long time since he had been out and about, let alone such a high-end barber shop. Zhao Yi knew nothing about it. When he saw the scene in front of him, he felt very interesting.
The fun is not about these fashionable hairstyles, but the fun that I can bring about so many changes, and I am more fully aware of how much influence I have in the country.
These fashion trends that do not belong to developed countries, or even slightly surpass them, were actually brought about by Qing Ning Entertainment Company, and then gradually affected the lives of ordinary people through film and television dramas.
Qing Ning Entertainment Company has always required itself to have high standards for the content of film and television dramas. The urban dramas they produce have put a lot of thought into the costumes, props and image design of the actors in order to positively promote our country's social situation.
Because these things are the most intuitive impression given to the audience. If even this aspect is not done well, then no matter how powerful the plot is, it will still give people the feeling that our country is in a backward state.
With a large amount of money invested in this area, talents will naturally gather here. When talents gather on a large scale, there will naturally be many achievements in fashion research.
Then, through these fashionable urban dramas, it affects the daily life of domestic people, and at the same time, it also exports our country's living conditions to the outside world and guides other countries to have a good impression of our country.
Moreover, if urban dramas are done well, not only will the drama itself make money, but the associated advertising effect will be very good, and it can increase the brand awareness of many industrial and agricultural products in our country.
For example, the long-term partnership between Hualong Apparel Company and Qing Ning Entertainment Company provides Qing Ning Entertainment Company with products ranging from ancient costumes to modern fashion clothing. Some products are even free of charge and provided to Qing Ning Entertainment Company for free.
Through these TV series, Green Lemon Entertainment has further expanded the brand awareness of Hualong Clothing Company's clothing products, which has played a great role in maintaining and increasing the sales of Hualong Clothing Company's products.
Other product promotions such as cosmetics, catering brand promotions, landmark promotions, etc. can be naturally integrated into urban dramas and subtly guide the audience's understanding.
At present, Qing Ning Entertainment is the most profitable company when shooting urban dramas, because most of the shooting costs are recovered through these soft product placements, and they can even make a small profit.
This results in a large profit margin for their urban dramas, which further leads to the export price of these urban dramas being set very low.
Because Qing Ning Entertainment has put a lot of effort into its urban dramas, whether it is plot writing, actors' fashion design, or the aesthetics of the shots, it has great export competitiveness.
In addition, the price of urban dramas is much cheaper than other historical dramas, martial arts dramas, etc., which leads to the fact that Qing Ning Entertainment Company has the largest number of urban dramas exported.
This in turn expands the audience for their urban dramas, which in turn increases the value of their urban drama product placements, thus forming a virtuous cycle.
Moreover, for Qing Ning Entertainment Company, the production of urban dramas is the lowest cost among all TV drama types, and it is also the one that actors are most willing to participate in, because shooting urban dramas is the least difficult of all TV dramas.
Especially for fashion urban dramas, in addition to spending a lot of energy in the fashion design preparation stage, many remaining links are much easier, and the shooting cycle is also very short. Some fashion urban dramas can even be shot in less than a month. over.
What’s even more interesting is that the market response to Green Lemon Entertainment’s fashionable urban dramas has been very good, and there have even been many hits, bringing them a lot of benefits.
According to Qing Ning Entertainment’s own summary, the reason why their fashion urban dramas are so popular is, on the one hand, that they spend a lot of time on fashion design and satisfy global users’ pursuit of fashion.
Everyone has a love for beauty, especially since it is full of handsome men and beauties, and uses high-end cosmetics and high-end products. The life is also relaxed and freehand. Of course, it is loved by ordinary people who have high pressure in life.
Women, in particular, are more irrational than men about such fantasies, and the expansion of the number of female viewers has also driven male viewers to watch.
In fact, there are not many substantive things in it that are worthy of praise. How can people's lives be like those shown in TV series? It feels like they have nothing to do all day long, either playing or falling in love.
However, these are actually learned from Yingjiang. It’s just that Lime Entertainment Company has done better and better than them after absorbing advanced foreign cultural promotion experience.
To be honest, Qing Ning Entertainment spends the most energy on cultural promotion, invests the most costs, and the results are real.
Now their film and television drama products are exported all over the world, especially Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, where they are the largest purchasers. Some products are also exported to developed countries in Europe, America and the Middle East.
This process has strengthened Qing Ning Entertainment's cultural research on these regions and countries, and the film and television dramas produced have become increasingly popular among locals.
In addition, Lime Entertainment has achieved full intelligence in subtitles and voice translation, which further reduces their costs of exporting overseas, and also makes it easier for locals to accept the content of their TV series.
Compared with just reading subtitles to understand the content of film and television dramas, it is of course better to hear the original transliteration. People in some countries even think that these film and television dramas are filmed in their own country.
After Zhou Jinyu chose a hairstyle, Zhao Yi found a sofa and lay down. He picked up his phone and looked at the news on the Qianxun New Media News Platform in boredom, and occasionally checked his own social platform updates.
It takes a lot of time for women to do their hair. If he didn't have a smartphone that could kill boring time, he wouldn't have known how difficult it was to wait for nearly two hours. He couldn't just look around in boredom, like a fool.
Zhao Yi sometimes looked around and found that many men waiting were like him, holding mobile phones in their hands and constantly scrolling. This made him feel that decades had passed in an instant and he had arrived at the scene of his previous life.
Seeing the hairstylist using various high-tech equipment, his feeling became more serious and real. However, the early appearance of these things was due to his own contribution. (End of chapter)
