Chapter 1312: Always Be Ready
.,!
From Hangzhou to Suzhou, the Boeing 767 took off and landed simply, and arrived at the destination in just over ten minutes.
This is the morning of the fourth day.
Simon walked down the gangway, and immediately a group of people greeted him beside the closed runway. Chen Qing followed among them, gesturing to her boss, but she consciously gave up the opportunity to greet the boss first, and she was only responsible for helping to introduce.
After exchanging pleasantries, we readily agreed to the lunch banquet arranged here, and everyone left the airport.
Simon and his party traveled from Guangfu Airport on the shore of Taihu Lake to the foot of Dayang Mountain in the western suburbs, which is less than 10 kilometers away.
A manor covering an area of 10 hectares has been built since last year at the southwestern foot of Dayang Mountain. Compared with the Chinese-style gardens on the Dushu Lake in the western suburbs, which require slow work and careful work, the manor here is built very quickly. Hectares of artificial lake, three large and small Western-style villas have been completed at the end of last year, this time just settled in.
The convoy of eight cars stopped in front of the main villa.
The driver opened the door, and Simon got off the car with Chen Qing, who had a flushed face. He looked around at the lush greenery and the artificial lake in front of him even though it was winter, nodded slightly, and turned to Chen Qing who got off the car and took his arm again. : "By the way, since it's the New Year, I brought you a present."
Chen Qing immediately showed an expectant expression: "Boss, what is it?"
"A Su prepared it for you," Simon said. Seeing that Chen Qing was still looking forward to it, he gestured to a girl who got out of the car behind, and when the other party stepped forward, he smiled and said to the downcast Chen Qing: " Now, A Su said, in the future, the maids around her will be chosen by themselves, so you don't need to bother."
It turned out to be Shen Lige who was almost forgotten by Chen Qing.
Chen Qing looked at the pitiful expression on the face of the girl who looked like a girl next door, and wanted to ask her followers to throw her into the small lake next to her. Waving: "Go away, I'll be annoying when I see you."
At the beginning, she was asked to try to destroy Zhu Momo's mother, Mo Yiling's husband and wife relationship, but failed. Chen Qing wanted to throw it away at will, but she didn't expect to be entangled, so she simply put it on Lin Su's side.
Unexpectedly, it was suddenly sent back as a 'year gift'.
Obviously, the girl's undercover mission with Lin Su also failed. Lin Su didn't say anything in advance, but deliberately chose the time when her boss came to China to send it back, this is to let her boss teach herself.
Damn woman.
Shen Lige, who was given the name of a heroine in a romance novel by Chen Qing and even changed his ID card, saw Chen Qing finished speaking, and walked to the villa with Simon Westero on his arm. After waiting for a while, he followed with the flow of attendants.
Shen Lige didn't leave because of Chen Qing's reprimand after crawling through the trunk. What's more, not to mention the past year, just now, just from Hangzhou to Suzhou, you have to take such a private jet, even if it's just an inconspicuous waitress, such a life, I never dared to think about it. Catch it at all costs.
Chen Qing didn't bother to bother, entered the villa, walked through the spacious hall, and went to the terrace on the second floor overlooking the surrounding lake and mountains with her boss, sat down on the sofa, ordered Jiang Shanwu and Jiang Yuanchi sisters to prepare tea, and cuddled together My boss talked about recent events.
"I just got the data this morning. As of the third day of junior high school yesterday, it has been released for exactly 30 days. The total box office of "Love Call Transfer" is 217 million yuan. If inflation is not calculated, it can be said that it is the highest-grossing domestic film in history. In addition, for the Lunar New Year broadcast of "Han Zhu Ge Ge", CCTV finally announced an average audience rating of 53%, which is nationwide. Also, in the Spring Festival Gala a few days ago, Guofeng Art Troupe's "Plucking Wei" Dance has also been a topic of heated discussion in the media recently, and many companies and organizations across the country are sending out invitations, hoping that those girls will perform, and the highest offer has reached 800,000 per show. Tsk, I want to make this quick money, But the boss can only decide after you come here. By the way, we also need to count the youtube new media business we do. This is more meaningful than the previous projects. "News Network" has reported it. You said it, boss. Anyway, now I also feel that if we don’t restrain ourselves, according to what you said, the other people will really have no way out.”
Simon admired the scenery outside the terrace, listened to Chen Qing for a while, and asked with a smile: "Have the adjustments I told you been implemented?"
"Well," Chen Qing nodded, and said again: "However, boss, I don't think we need to be so cautious. According to the news recently, after the Ninth Congress in March, the film and television industry may be further liberalized. After all Openness is the mainstream, what's more, just this "Love Call Transfer" has a box office of more than 200 million, which is enough for the higher authorities to make up their minds to support the film industry."
"How the authorities' policies change is a matter for the authorities. We must do what we should do. The film and television industry is far from the core of our interests in China. If it is too conspicuous and causes backlash, the loss outweighs the gain."
Chen Qing nodded. Although she was a little regretful, she also knew the importance: "Boss, don't you still have to go to see the various projects of Jinshu Film and Television City in the afternoon? If that's the case, should we restrain ourselves in the Film and Television City?"
"No need here, the stall is so big, the negative impact will be more serious if it is messed up, so we must work hard to do it well."
Sister Jiang Shanwu brought tea over.
The conversation between the two was suspended, and when the two maids poured tea and pushed it away again, Chen Qing continued: "Boss, what do you think of this manor?"
"Great, what's the matter?"
"Then, the villa area by the Taihu Lake, I don't think it's necessary, is it?"
"Um?"
Chen Qing simply confessed: "Boss, it's winter now, the last time you came to swim in the lake, it was also a relatively cool spring, so it's fine, but in the past few years, in summer and autumn, the smell of Taihu Lake is not so pleasant. In short, it is not suitable for the development of Linhu villa area at all.”
When Chen Qing said this, Simon came to his senses.
There is also the issue of pollution.
After a little recollection, I probably remembered that from the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the new century, the pollution of Taihu Lake became more and more serious. For a period of time, blue-green algae crises broke out every year. It is hard to describe it.
Simon can't control this kind of thing, so he can only ask: "The lake in the western suburbs of Suzhou has not been developed much, so the source of pollution should not be here?"
Chen Qing understood what her boss meant, nodded and said: "Yes, and all the scenic spots in the film and television city are a certain distance from the lake, so they won't be affected too much."
"In this case, forget about the villa area."
"In fact, there have been voices of rectification in the past two years. Maybe it will be better to wait a few more years."
"You really think so?"
Chen Qing smiled awkwardly: "Fake."
In my memory, the pollution problem of Taihu Lake has not been completely resolved after ten or twenty years, and Simon has no intention of intervening.
Talking like this, until noon, went to the city to participate in the official reception luncheon, Simon returned to the western suburbs again, intending to make money everywhere in the film and television city.
Zhu Momo's mother, Mo Yiling, was in charge of the reception.
For the sake of the New Year, Zhu Momo returned from Beijing and is currently in Suzhou. On the way back from the luncheon, Simon talked with the girl on the phone, but because of some tacit deception, the girl did not show up with her mother .
Simon saw Zhu Momo's aunt Mo Wuling mixed in the crowd, and wanted to pretend that she didn't exist, but she was as conspicuous as his elder sister with her outstanding appearance and figure.
He didn't say anything, just nodded.
The two blockbuster projects of Jinshu Film and Television City last year, Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and Zhang Guoshi's "Hero", have already been completed successively before, and the new year has just passed, and the film and television city seems quite deserted.
The first stop is Qin Palace.
However, when the convoy passed outside the palace wall at the southeast corner of Qin Palace, Simon signaled the driver to stop, and all the accompanying cars also stopped.
Mo Yiling got out of the car behind, stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Westeros, is there any question?"
Simon didn't answer, but left the concrete road under his feet and walked towards the corner of Miyagi.
Everyone else could only keep up. Not far away, the management team of Jinshu Film and Television City, who were waiting to be greeted in the parking lot outside the main entrance of Qin Palace, noticed the situation here, and rushed over.
After everyone gathered, Simon, who was standing at the base of the city wall, asked the people around him, "Have any of you ever been to Universal Studios or Disneyland?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Chen Qing followed her boss, but wanted to say that she had been there. Of course, she probably guessed some of Simon's intentions, so it was no fun.
In this day and age, it is not so easy to go abroad. Even if someone on the scene has traveled abroad, they may not have been to Disneyland or Universal Studios.
Simon was not surprised, and directly ordered Chen Qing: "You arrange it, the team of Jinshu Film and Television City, and..." Simon glanced at Mo Yiling again, and then said: "After all, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan and Universal Studios in Osaka, both of which will be paid by Jinshu.”
Chen Qing nodded to mark it down.
Simon glanced at the crowd again, and then his eyes fell on the yellow land outside the city wall that was exposed due to construction.
It can be seen that there should be a lot of sundries piled up here before, probably because he had confirmed that he would come over in advance, so he cleaned it up temporarily. However, compared to the majestic city wall next to it, the whole area is completely barren of grass, which still looks very eye-catching.
Looking away again, Simon looked at the person in charge of the film and television city project, he remembered the name, He Ze, whose title is the president of Jinshu Film and Television Tourism Development Group, raised his finger and pointed around, Simon asked: "Here, what are you going to do with it? "
He Ze stepped forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Westeros, Director Chen filmed the siege scene here, that's why he was in this state. We are already planning, and the surrounding area will soon be covered with cement roads." Pave the way and carry out greening.”
"cement road?"
He Ze didn't understand what the problem was, so he could only nod his head.
Simon asked, "Have you always been to the Forbidden City?"
He Ze nodded, vaguely understood, but didn't know what to say.
"There is no concrete road around the Forbidden City."
He Ze paused and said, "I probably understand what you mean, Mr. Westeros, but it involves cost."
Simon ignored it, but said: "Next year, oh, it should be this year, "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" and "Hero" will be released successively, plus some other film and television dramas filmed here, by then, the audience will definitely have Curious. However, when they come here with great interest, whether they see this barren yellow land or the concrete road you mentioned, they will probably immediately lose some interest in visiting the Qin Palace, what do you think?"
He Ze could only nod again, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Westeros, if I remember correctly, President Chen and Deputy District Chief Mo have passed on your instructions. The first phase of Jinshu Film and Television City The goal is to develop the film and television industry, followed by tourism.”
"That's right," Simon said.
Head, staring at each other: "But I don't mean to wait for the day when Jinshu Film and Television City can start tourism business, and then make changes in tourism-related details, but, I hope you will do all the preparations step by step , at any time, no matter how many tourists come, it can make them feel like they have entered a top tourist attraction. Because no tourist attraction is suddenly built in one day, do you know what I mean?"
"I understand," He Ze said, after a pause, he continued, "However, Mr. Westeros, it's still the question just now, which involves cost."
"Don't talk about money with me, as long as you do things well, you will definitely have the funds you need," Simon said, looking around again, and then turned to the main entrance of Qin Palace, saying to the people who followed : "I don't have much time, so, I said, listen, and then execute. First of all, you need to draw out a retro area. I mean, the audience will immediately have a dream come true when they step into this area." It feels like a millennium. To achieve this goal, the cement road over there, and the parking lot in front of the Qin Palace, are all rebuilt and replaced with stone roads. For details, you can go to the Forbidden City to see.”
Mo Yiling said at this time: "Simon, the scale of the Qin Palace is already very large. If the parking lot is set too far away, both the crew and tourists will be affected."
"I didn't say that you can't park if you replace the stone road. There are also parking lots in the Forbidden City. I just don't want to see modern concrete roads or asphalt roads around a retro palace. In addition, I also hope that the new parking lot will You make some designs, mainly some shelters, and you can plant holly and the like as fences, and people can get out of modern life again as long as they leave the parking lot.”
Mo Yiling understood and nodded again.
Speaking of which, he has come to the main gate of Qin Palace.
Simon stopped to look at it for a moment, and then said: "Also, there is the moat. There is no shortage of waterways in Suzhou. I hope that whether it is the Qin Palace, the Ming and Qing palaces, or even the Jiangnan Fenghua, they will be surrounded by moats. The format is similar to that of the Forbidden City. In this way, Xiaoqing, let’s add the Forbidden City to the tour plan, or Jinshu will reimburse you.”
Chen Qing agreed again.
