Chapter 353 Can That Book Sell 780,000 Hong Kong Dollars?(3/3)
"But today is the day when the second week's data comes out, so it's time to come here again. 311 million Hong Kong dollars in Europe and the United States is a huge profit."
"But, they want to smoothly watch the money from various theaters return to their film and television companies? How can it be possible without your support?"
Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and was too lazy to continue complaining, "Tell them that if it's nothing serious, there's no need to see them and let them go back."
After a while, Wang Zuxian came back from outside and said, "It's really something. Those two want to follow the trend? Are you following the trend? I want to ask if the copyright is suitable, and if I can go to the special effects base to do special effects or something."
"By the way, you rejected the antiques they sent last time. This time they said they would like to donate another 200 million engineering equipment, vehicles and ships related to water control to help build the Taihu Lake embankment, build the Taipu River, dredge and widen the Wangyu River, and dig deeper.
"
Zhao Donghuai, "..."
He was a little speechless for a while. There are many things that follow the trend in the film and television industry, but following the trend? This is really a crooked talent.
Moreover, these two couples, and even Zhao Donghuai, who has been silently supporting flood control, have their finger on the pulse.
That's right, there are some things he does that are not obvious, but if you are a little smarter, it is not too difficult to detect the clues and secretly feel your pulse.
Let’s just say that Xu’s Pictures, which has always been unreliable and uninfluential in the film and television industry, why did it get Zhao Donghuai’s script? Just because Zhao Donghuai went to visit a few months ago, happened to meet him, and had a meal?
Isn't that nonsense?
Do they want to shoot in the film and television base built with the support of the Zhao family? Will they also promote the Oriental and Five Thousand Years Mu Guiying sub-brands? This reason must account for a certain proportion.
After all, Oriental and Five Thousand Years are the properties of Chen Hong and Li Jiaxin, and Xu's Pictures' flattery will always have the effect of being a pillow.
But after they finished filming Mu Guiying in charge, it became a hit, and drove Dongfang and Wu Qianqian to sell a sub-brand like crazy and make hundreds of millions of profits, so Zhao Donghuai rewarded them with one. Is it more reasonable and logical?
As a result, before Mu Guiying took charge of the film and filming started, and the Water Margin film and television base was still under construction and no work was done, they got the new movie, and the box office exploded.
Ah Heng may not have grasped this pulse yet, but Ah Heng and his father are not playboys, and Jia Ling is also quite clever.
After being speechless for a while, Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Let them film it. It's a commercial follow-up. Most people can't afford to make such blockbusters."
Wang Zuxian nodded and asked curiously, "Fan Zhongyan also treated water? Is he the same as Su Shi?"
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "This elder is famous in history, and he is not just a simple literary giant."
Fan Zhongyan, the Wen Zhenggong, once controlled floods in Suzhou. Since then, Suzhou civil servants have been imitating Fan Wenzheng in governing Suzhou in successive dynasties. Xiao Gui and Cao followed suit. For hundreds of years, Suzhou has been the center of Taihu Lake.
, one of the safest cities.
Most people don’t know this, but Jialing has lived in Suzhou for 16 years!
During the plum rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, it rains continuously for a while every year. During the plum rainy season, there is a lot of water in the city, which happens every year.
Not to mention that Taihu Lake, which is next to Suzhou, is almost an above-ground lake. In 1987, the mainland approved the Taihu Lake Basin Comprehensive Management Plan and proposed a big plan to encircle the lake. However, the progress of the project so far is only step-by-step and far from complete.
It's still too early to be completed. The mainland is too big and there are too many things to be built.
The original trajectory of the embankment around the lake, known as the first arc in the world, was not completed until the end of 1996. It was one of the biggest contributors to the flood control along Taihu Lake.
Secondly, there is the Taipu River, which was originally planned to connect Taihu Lake and Huangpu River. It is also an artificial flood discharge and drainage river.
After the rainy season, it helps drain Taihu Lake and flows into the Huangpu River and then into the sea.
However, the first phase of construction started in 1958, and in the spring of 1960, the second phase plan was interrupted due to some reasons, and the artificial river has not been dredged to this day.
For drainage of Taihu Lake, aside from the Taipu River, there is the Wangyu River. It was built in 475 BC by Fan Li. It was used to connect Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River and to facilitate the drainage of Taihu Lake during the rainy season.
But after so many centuries, the silt blockage of Wangyu River has become very serious. It was in the 1987 water conservancy plan that everything began to be restored, and dredging was slowly carried out.
It was only when Qunxing came to donate water control engineering equipment, vehicles, and boats that the construction of man-made rivers and the dredging and widening of original river channels began to move forward at a rapid pace.
Flood control in Suzhou involves dredging Taihu Lake. Otherwise, the water that Suzhou could drain into Taihu Lake during the rainy season would flow back into the city due to the overhanging lake. This happened in 1991, 1998 and 1999.
When Fan Wenzheng governed Suzhou, he left a template. Countless descendants in the Southern Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties could easily control floods by copying the work.
………………
After a while, when she left the ATV headquarters and walked toward the nearest parking lot of the building, Jia Ling couldn't help but smile brightly, "I said, it should be possible this time. Zhao Sheng actually has a good temper."
"It was a bit stupid to send antiques last time, but daddy helped us figure it out."
Ah Heng couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, I know I made the wrong choice last time, and I can just do things this way in the future. But, can it really make money? I feel like movies like this about famous ancient ministers controlling water and fighting floods are not very interesting."
Jia Ling was speechless, "Logically speaking, with your background, you would find it uninteresting even if you watch it, right? Weren't you following the drama with gusto back then?"
Ah Heng was embarrassed, "This is different, how interesting is it? Wait, Master Bao has also treated water, right? These Northern Song Dynasty literati are a bit beyond my expectations."
Jia Ling was happy, "Mr. Bao has really controlled water, but he only managed the Huimin River. The Huimin River became a flood and intruded on the people's livelihood in Kaifeng. It was mainly due to the congestion of the river caused by the private construction of the rich and powerful. He demolished all the illegal buildings.
, it’s about fighting against the powerful and pacifying man-made disasters.”
