Chapter 2168 Requests From the Elderly (Second)
It is now the middle of April.
The members of the "Overseas Tour Troupe" of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" are now actively conducting the final rehearsal.
Compared with the scale of more than 100 people in the "Journey to the West" crew, this time they have a total of nearly 300 people traveling.
Among them, there are more than 100 working and behind-the-scenes personnel, and less than 150 people actually participate in the performance.
Among the more than 100 performers, there are more than 40 masters of red studies and ancient studies.
They are almost all between 50 and 70 years old, and have never been abroad before. This time, Yin Jun specially invited them to go abroad to see the world.
Of course, the cost is all inclusive, and part of the money earned by the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" from their performances is included.
After all, they all participated in the planning and preparation of "Dream of Red Mansions" and made great contributions to the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".
These old people, without being too hypocritical, thanked Yin Jun for his kindness and joined the team.
With so many young people who used to get along day and night, there will be good care.
Seeing that they were all traveling together, Huaxia TV and the departments above were also moved.
In the last "Journey to the West" crew, everyone gave no hope, thinking that they would go out for ten days and a half months at most, and they would come back. They didn't make any sense at all, so no one wanted to go with them.
As a result, "Journey to the West" has been performed all over the world, which really makes those who didn't go envy and hate.
Now that the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" has restarted a world tour, some people who also want to go abroad to see it have moved their minds.
So one after another, more than 20 such related households who could not refuse came.
This resulted in a total of more than 300 people.
In order to handle their various exit and entry procedures, Kirin Culture has spent a lot of effort.
Fortunately, Kirin Culture is backed by the Kirin Group, and has huge influence in Hong Kong and the United States. Cultural performances have become very popular in China in recent years. Countries have experience in "Journey to the West", and their review is also very important. Not so strict.
One after another, at the beginning of April, all the visas for this part were processed.
This also reassured the crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Now that the visa is done, are you still worried that you won't be able to go?
Their first stop will still be in Xiangjiang.
After Xiangjiang, we will go to Singapore and Southeast Asia. The last two stops in Asia are Japan, Japan and South Korea in East Asia.
Then fly directly to the United States from South Korea.
Same as last time, while everyone was practicing, Gan Guoliang brought over the first batch of advance payment.
Because there are so many people in "Dream of Red Mansions", the advance payment is more than that of "Journey to the West" last time.
The actors involved in the performance are paid 2,000 US dollars each, and the rest of the behind-the-scenes and staff are paid 1,000 US dollars.
They can take this money to Xiangjiang to buy various gifts, entrust Qilin Culture to transport it back, and give it to their families.
You can also give the money to your family now, anyway, after going abroad, all the food and accommodation expenses will be settled by Qilin Culture.
It will be deducted from the performance fee in the future.
For the advance payment, the young man still kept one or two hundred dollars with him, and planned to see if there were any good things to buy in Xiangjiang.
Those who are older are basically handed over to the family.
After all, the current US dollar is really a treasure, and it is the responsibility of the earner to give it to the family to exchange it. Improving life is the responsibility of the earner.
Even the related households that were stuffed in took 100 U.S. dollars each - no way, although food, drink, housing and transportation are all included in the Kirin culture package, but if they have no money at all, it is a shameless thing .
Kirin Culture will not do such a stupid thing.
Although 100 US dollars is not much, after going to the black market to exchange, it is equivalent to their salary for six or seven months, which is not a small sum.
As for whether they will compare with those actors and staff, will they become jealous... I believe this group of people will not be so stupid.
Kirin Culture gave them pocket money, not to please them, but just not to offend them.
If they want to be presumptuous, then it depends on whether they can shake the behemoth Qilin for a few days.
Smart people don't do that.
Even if there are idiots who want to do this, Huaxia TV will definitely suppress them severely!
What a joke!
Our Huaxia TV station has a 40% revenue share in it. If you make it impossible for this kind of performance to happen in the future, where will we get the income to pay bonuses?
Do you want thousands of employees of all our Huaxia TV stations to have a hard time?
Then we will definitely make it difficult for you to live!
This group of people didn't know Yin Jun's temper, but they must know Wei Xiaofan's.
Back then, a group of second-generation yamen wanted to borrow a Mercedes-Benz from Kirin Culture to drive every day. Wei Xiaofan filed a complaint with Mr. Xiao.
Elder Xiao also made a few phone calls, and scolded the parents of the oldest ones very badly, and the last few were beaten up by their parents...
Then there is no more and then.
If their bad reputation in this regiment reaches Wei Xiaofan's ears, they may not be expelled directly!
Who dares to bear such a result?
Therefore, when they received the $100 from Kirin Culture, they were already pleasantly surprised, and they had no other thoughts at all.
This also made Wang Fulin breathe a sigh of relief.
This time, there are many cows, horses and snakes in the regiment, and he is not very easy to manage.
Fortunately, Kylin Culture will have a manager in Xiangjiang, leading a group of staff, responsible for various performances and living and accommodation arrangements along the way.
Wang Fulin only needs to take care of his own performance, which also relieves him of a heavy burden.
When Xiangjiang people come to manage, everyone must give face, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
But before departure, Wang Fulin encountered some difficulties.
For this reason, he had to go to Gan Guoliang's office for help again.
What is the problem?
It's very simple. More than 40 Hongxue masters and ancient prose experts collectively went to Wang Fulin and asked Wang Fulin to allow them to bring their wives with them.
The reason is of course very simple.
They have never been abroad in their lives, and it is very likely that this will be the last time.
Then the same, their wives have never been abroad.
It is a pity that I have the opportunity to go abroad, but my wives cannot.
Forget it before, after all, Kirin Culture has already paid too much for them, and has also borne all the expenses. It is really unreasonable to ask each family to add one person with a shy face.
But it's different now.
Now they all have 1,000 US dollars in their hands. If the money is taken out and their own savings are added, can they pay their own expenses and let their wives go on a trip with them?
Even if it's because of insufficient money, at least they can go to places like Xiangjiang, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, right?
This is better than not being able to go out, and it can be regarded as a wish fulfilled.
When Wang Fulin heard such a request, he really had no choice but to beg Gan Guoliang.
Gan Guoliang was also embarrassed to hear it.
Just talking about paying the family expenses of more than 40 masters and experts is nothing, but if this is the first thing to do, can other people also ask to do the same?
So this tour group, is it a tourist group?
Will Jun Shao's idea of "promoting Chinese culture" come to nothing, or will it not have such a good effect?
These are all issues to consider.
But if you think about it from another perspective, these more than 40 red scholars and ancient prose experts are all well-known figures in domestic academic circles.
The old people are not only influential themselves, but also have many old students and old officials, and many of them are in the right age.
If their request is met this time, then the development of Kirin Culture in the Mainland will definitely get a lot of help.
The rapid expansion of Kirin culture in China over the past few years has aroused the tension of many people. Many of them are also calling for limiting the influence of Hong Kong's different concepts on the mainland and allowing the mainland to maintain its proper style and characteristics.
Although Kirin Culture has a lot of voices, but in the face of such discussions and tension, you have no way to fight back fiercely.
Feeling embarrassed on both sides, Gan Guoliang called Yin Jun, told him the matter, and asked him to make a decision.
Only when Yin Jun made a decision, no one else could say anything.
Otherwise, even if Wei Xiaofan handles it, I'm afraid there will be some criticism.
Similar to what Gan Guoliang thought, Yin Jun agreed to the request without thinking after hearing what he said, and asked Xiangjiang Qilin Culture to apply for a visa as quickly as possible.
If necessary, you can also take the route of Kirin Culture's employee business inspection.
In this way, it can be guaranteed that these visas for Asia will be obtained within ten days and a half months. As for the visas for the United States and Europe, there is so much time to process, so it is not a big problem.
Seeing the matter that had troubled her for several days, Gan Guoliang called Yin Jun and solved it directly. Wang Fulin couldn't help but sigh deeply.
On the one hand, in the eyes of big shots, these confusions of his are nothing.
On the other hand, Yin Jun is really too generous and tolerant towards these people in the mainland.
From a rational point of view, this matter was easy to refuse.
I have stuffed you in and let you travel around the world for free, so why do you still have to push it? Are you looking at me as a bully?
But Yin Jun didn't hesitate at all, he agreed directly, and he would process the visa as quickly as possible.
His boldness and heart, as well as his goodwill towards people in the cultural circles in the Mainland, are fully expressed.
Wang Fulin decided to tell these old men exactly like this after returning home.
Based on their knowledge and life experience, they must be able to see Yin Jun's kindness and feel grateful for it.
This is Wang Fulin's greatest repayment to Yin Jun, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything else!
