Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 765

Zhou Zhi didn't take it seriously, it was still an old habit, he took out a notebook and took notes seriously, at first glance he looked like Director Wang's little secretary.

After Xiao Zhang finished introducing the latest developments of the past few days, he got up and said, "Director Wang, the appointment with Mr. Cai is at two o'clock, so we have to hurry over."

"Let's go." Director Wang said: "Hong Kong people are very stuck on appointment time."

"Then this little friend..." Xiao Zhang said, "Would you like to go downstairs to McDonald's for something to eat?"

"Hahaha..." Wang Limei laughed, "Xiao Zhang, it's because of Xiao Zhou's face that we can see Mr. Cai!"

Xiao Zhang was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't grasp such an important situation, and now he will be criticized.

However, he still didn't believe it, until he sent Wang Limei to the TVB building, and found that Cai Nan was waiting downstairs with two assistants instead of waiting in the office.

When everyone got out of the car, Cai Nan strode over and stretched out his hand: "Hahaha, little friend Zhou Zhi, we've never met before, today we finally meet!"

Zhou Zhi was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his hands to Mr. Cai: "Mr. Cai, I can't afford to say that. I don't want to scare the younger generation like this!"

"Hahahaha..." Cai Nan laughed and said, "I asked you for a lot of ideas about last year's matter, and it should be."

Xiao Zhang is really stupid at the side, how can he listen to the meaning of Cai's old saying, or does he owe this child a favor? !
It’s really funny to say this. Last year, Mr. Cai entered the business world on a whim, and the product is a series of small pickles, including salted fish sauce, preserved radish and scallop sauce, olive horn Scallop sauce, etc.

Who is most familiar with this matter?Naturally, he has single-handedly managed the product design, production line introduction, advertising planning and marketing planning of Saturday Niang Food Co., Ltd.

Zhou Zhi only gave Mr. Cai two suggestions, very simple,
The first one is to build a factory in the mainland, and the main business in the mainland.

The second is to develop umami products, such as oyster sauce, abalone sauce, and chicken essence.

In fact, Mr. Cai is only the producer, and the actual work is the partner. After Mr. Cai passed on the two suggestions, he got the other party's approval.

Then a few products sold like crazy in the south, and now the umami products proposed by Zhouzhi have sold much more than the original sauces with rice, making a lot of money.

So from this point of view, Mr. Cai really owes Zhou Zhi a favor.

But from Zhou Zhi's point of view, he owed Elder Cai even more.

If it weren't for Cai Laohui's unique vision and agreeing to publish the traditional version of Zhou Zhi's "Sichuan Taste", this set of books would definitely not have such a great influence and huge profits.

It can be said that Zhou Zhi's first pot of gold and most of his fame are due to the release of the traditional Chinese version of "Sichuan Taste".

In fact, the current Chinese people still have a kind of inferiority complex, shouting to catch up, but in fact, they have already recognized the gap in their hearts.

If Mr. Cai hadn't written the preface for this set of books, and vigorously promoted it in the traditional Chinese area and brought a wave of sales results, gained a great reputation and then backfired in China, and even helped Zhou Zhi get a nomination for the National Book Award... otherwise it would be Only relying on the price of hundreds of simplified Chinese editions in Xinhua Bookstores in China, few people would care about them.

Compared with the benefits that this set of books brought to Zhou Zhi, any video game hall, karaoke hall, taxi top, had to stand aside.

Now the sales bonus period of this set of books has passed, but the lively foreign exchange income has become the mother base for Zhou Zhi to participate in the European currency crisis.

The performance of this set of books in the traditional Chinese area also attracted Fu Xia's concern, and the release of the English version was also put on the agenda.

All of this was brought to Zhou Zhi by Bole Cai.

With these foundations, now that the two meet, they are like grandparents who have not seen each other for a long time, and they are extremely affectionate.

"Mr. Cai, this is Ms. Wang Limei, director of the Foreign Affairs Department of our Cultural Relics Bureau, and this is Zhang from Xinhua News Agency..." Zhou Zhi has now become the introducer, and then he got stuck. He didn't know the little Zhang that Wang Limei was talking about. job title and name.

Xiao Zhang now regrets that he underestimated Zhou Zhi too much before, skipped the introduction link and talked directly about work, and now he has to introduce himself: "Hello, Mr. Cai, I am Zhang Bin, a resident reporter from Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong."

"That's my colleague." Cai Lao was quite kind: "Let's go, let's go in and talk."

TVB is now in its heyday. Several super dramas such as "Big Times" and "Giant" are famous works of this period.

But coming to the TVB headquarters was very disappointing. It was neither grand nor magnificent. In Zhou Zhi's opinion, it was not even as good as the renovated Shudu TV station.

TVB has a famous rooster bowl. It was originally an ordinary prop, but because of its high frequency of use, it has appeared in hundreds of TV dramas for more than 50 years, and finally became a proper old drama. bone.

Even Cai Nan was shocked by Zhou Zhi. So many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities have no interest at all, and they actually proposed to go to the prop warehouse to pay homage to an old porcelain bowl?
Mr. Cai always knew about the two heart-changing bottles, and also knew the child's ability to identify porcelain, so he wondered if this bowl was a big leak that was missed on the TV station, right?

In fact, the correct name of the rooster bowl should be reversed, called "Chicken Night", which is an ordinary white porcelain bowl, with a big rooster with a red body and black tail running at night, and decorated with some flowers and plants.

"Rooster bowl is a very common tableware in Guangdong and Hong Kong." Cai Nan introduced the big bowl to Zhou Zhi and the three of them: "It is said that we work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The rooster is the alarm clock at that time. When the rooster crows, the whole family It's time to get up and work, so this bowl also has a name called 'Qijia Bowl'."

"Starting a family has two meanings. One is that everyone has to get up and work." Cai Nan said: "It's 'Qijia', which means getting rich through hard work."

"With these two layers of good fortune, almost every household in Guangdong and Hong Kong in the old season has this bowl, so in our period dramas, almost every one has this bowl."

"There are also in Shooting Condors." Zhou Zhi added: "But this is a mistake."

"The prototype of the cock bowl is actually the multicolored chicken bowl cup of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the color paintings of both have a characteristic, that is, the childish and lovely pictures combined with the skillful techniques to create a unique style and beauty. .”

"However, this is something that only existed after the development of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, while shooting sculptures was a thing in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the age is far behind."

Cai Nan was a little speechless, are mainland audiences so picky?

If you want to demand "The Condor Shooting" based on the standard that the Jigong Bowl cannot appear in "Shooting the Condors", then this drama will be completely unwatchable.

Even Mr. Jin Yong himself lacked research on prices in the Song Dynasty, and the original works are like this. How can he ask for a TVB that can last for decades?

However, this matter made Cai Nan very happy. He is now co-producing a talk show with Ni Kuang and others. The social and people's livelihood in the south and the sea are all-encompassing. TVB Chicken Bowl is a good topic that is easy to expand, and it can be done. It's a show.
