Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 34 "Journey to the West", cultural garbage?

Xiying Audiovisual Publishing House is affiliated to Xiying Film Group, whose predecessor was the well-known Xiying Film Studio.

Just after restructuring in June this year, the Beijing Office was also set up in Yanjing. The director of the consulate is Zhu Jie, a middle-aged man with a kind face.

He lowered his glasses, examined the boy in front of him again and again, no, a man, and said suspiciously: "Ahem, Mr. Lu from Donglu?
Wearing the suit and leather shoes he wore when he met IDG, Lu Fei held out his hand and said, "Yes, I am. Hello, Director Zhu."

Zhu Jie shook hands in return, and glanced at Tao Yao who was standing next to him. He was tall and well-proportioned. He thought it was either a prank or a scam.

"President Lu's secretary said on the phone that he would buy a batch of goods. I don't know what to buy, records, video discs, or tapes?"

Lu Fei said: "Our company has just opened for e-commerce. This time we plan to buy a batch of VCDs and sell them online."

Zhu Jie gave the clerk a look, and the latter immediately brought a catalog with various audio-visual products densely recorded on it.

Lu Fei took a cursory glance. Most of the movies were produced by Western Film Studio, such as "Old Well", "Red Sorghum", "Swordsman in Double Flag Town", "Yellow River Ballad", including the most peak Chinese film history. "Farewell My Concubine", "To Live".

He couldn't help but sighed: "Xi Film Studio is worthy of being the cradle of the fifth generation of filmmakers."

"It's too old, it's not worth mentioning."

Having said that, Zhu Jie raised his chin, sincerely proud.

Lu Fei quietly added, "It's a pity that your company's categories are not as complete as Xidan Great World."

Zhu Jie's smile froze, and he covered up his embarrassment and said, "Our agency has just been established, and we haven't been in business for long."

"That's right, the West Film Studio is powerful and has many treasures." Lu Fei rummaged through the entire catalog, and finally found it in the cracks, "This "Journey to the West" also counts?"

The corner of Zhu Jie's mouth twitched lightly, his expression was uglier than before, scolding us, right?
He said in a dark tone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, you may not know much about movies. I want to correct you. Xiying Film Studio only invested in "Journey to the West", which does not represent the artistic level of Xiying Film Studio. It is the personal work of Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei."

Lu Fei said: "I heard that the VCD of this movie is not selling well in major audiovisual bookstores?"

Zhu Jie was filled with guilt, the movie was called "cultural trash" by the West Film Studio, and they were ashamed to say it. "After all, the initial pricing was too high."

"Indeed, 70 yuan for a set is really expensive!" Lu Fei said.

"This is the price when it was just launched, because there are 2 sets of 4 VCDs inside, and there are many retail links in the market, so the retail price is naturally high."

Zhu Jie was worried about leaving Lu Fei with the label of "black heart" of Xiying Audiovisual Agency, so he quickly explained, "Now it has been reduced to 15 yuan for a set, and we are going to reduce the price again."

"It seems that the selling appearance is indeed not good, and the price will be reduced to clear the warehouse."

Lu Fei didn't ask any further questions. There is a saying in antiques that one can tell the real from the fake at first glance, and never take a second look. It's easy to wake up the seller if you look at it again. For the same reason, you can't dig deep here. Zhu Jie's interest made Zhu Jie more vigilant.

He showed a lack of interest, and turned his attention to potential film and television dramas. For children, it is "Tom and Jerry", "Garfield", emm, "Altman Tiga" is still an uncut version.

As for adults, they only choose Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedies, or urban fashion romances.

Because "A Chinese Journey to the West" was first popular among the post-80s, young people are in love and love, "rebellious", and the movie-watching groups have a high probability of overlapping.

Tao Yao couldn't figure out what the boss was thinking, so he just kept accounts with a calculator. "Tokyo Love Story" sold 300 sets at 3000 yuan; "Nine Grades of Sesame Officials", "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair"...

The crackling sound of knocking came to Zhu Jie's ears, and he felt comfortable all over, it was all small money!
Lu Fei estimated that he had already spent more than 2 yuan, and suddenly asked: "Director Zhu, is there no "Domestic Lingling Paint"?"

Zhu Jie hesitated and said: "Ah, this, this one is suspected of being blue, and has been banned..."

"Is the distribution of VCDs also strictly prohibited? I originally wanted to buy hundreds of sets."

Zhu Jie immediately changed his face. The troubles of the gold master's father are my troubles, and the problems of the gold master's father are my problems.He resolutely said: "Well, in the face of Mr. Lu's big client, we are willing to help you find a batch."

Lu Fei nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, the candy is almost fed, and it's time to shoot the cannonball.

He expressed emotion abruptly: "There are only a few films by Zhou Xingchi that I want to enter. If "A Chinese Journey to the West" can be sold in the market,"

Zhu Jie took the cigarette from him and sighed: "Oh, to tell you the truth, what we worry about is the backlog of inventory, and we can't get rid of it."

"Director Zhu, how many sets have you pressed in your warehouse?"

"It's about 5 sets. The group and the agency mean that it costs 7 yuan to dispose of it, but I found a cooperative store, and no one wants this garbage."

Zhu Jie took a few puffs of smoky cigarettes. Huaxia didn't have a special organization or factory to deal with these e-waste, and they wouldn't buy them if they bought broken ones. In the end, they had no choice but to send them to a plastic processing factory for recycling.

Lu Fei showed a regretful expression, "Master Xing is my idol. I have seen this movie. Although it spoils the classics, it is still Master Xing's movie."

"Even Zhou Xingchi, he can't gossip. How can Sun Wukong talk about friends with Bone Essence? The adaptation is not random making up, and joking is not nonsense."

Zhu Jie shook his head and said, "The 84 edition of Journey to the West is the classic!"

Lu Fei acted like he was making a difficult decision. He was afraid of getting dusty and losing money, so he finally gritted his teeth: "Why don't you sell me a set for 5 yuan?"

"Oh, buy it, um!"

Zhu Jie didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly his head was buzzing: "Lu, Mr. Lu, do you want to wholesale "A Chinese Journey to the West"?"

Look, "you" is already used, Lu Fei suppressed a smile in his heart, but shook his head, vacillating.

"Quickly, take out my best tea."

Zhu Jie's spirit was lifted, his eyes glowed green, like a hungry wolf looking for a lamb, knocking around.

Lu Fei said: "That's what I think. There are many older generations who rent dishes. I sell them on the Internet. Those who go online are all young people like me. The two generations have different ideas and concepts. Maybe they can sell some."

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Lu, thank you."

Zhu Jie tried his best to please, opening his mouth "Mr. Lu is brilliant", and closing his mouth "Mr. Lu's good opinion", his tone was exactly the same as "President Lu's good opinion", completely treating Lu Fei as a fool.

Lu Fei said: "I have an idea, the film can be hyped, and it may become popular after the hype."

Hype?Even if you stew it, it's useless. Zhou Xingchi and Xiying Studio can't move it, so it's up to you?

Zhu Jie smiled coldly, "Then, how much does Boss Lu plan to enter?"

Lu Fei hesitated and said: "Well, I don't want "Tokyo Love Story" and "Returning Soul Night", and replace it with 5000 sets of "A Chinese Journey to the West."

Tao Yao was not calm at the side, and said anxiously: "Mr. Lu, should we reconsider, such a large amount of understocked goods, our warehouse can't fit them?"

The area of ​​a disc is about 0.01 square meters, 5000 sets, are you still working in room 1416?

Lu Fei pretended to realize suddenly, "That's right, then don't..."

Zhu Jie panicked, "There is a way, there is a way, the warehouse of the head office of Lu can't fit it, you can temporarily store it here for 3 months, wait until you find a place to store it after 3 months, and then move out."

"That's one way."

Lu Fei hesitated to come back again, Tao Yao looked impatient, and hurriedly dissuaded him, and Zhu Jie followed anxiously, fearing that the bully would run away.

"President Lu, do you have any doubts?"

"I'm thinking that if I make "A Chinese Journey to the West" popular, I'll buy 5000 sets, and the remaining 4 sets will be cheaper for others? I don't like making wedding dresses for others."

Who is cheap, cheap ghost!
One moment Zhu Jie was worried that the negotiation would be useless, and the next second he was full of enthusiasm. Lu Fei sincerely wanted to eat the inventory of "A Chinese Journey to the West".

Oops, a big idiot descended from the sky, no, a great savior!
"Forget it, I don't know the people on the TV station well, and it costs money to advertise." Lu Fei regretted again.

Zhu Jie was in a hurry, "Our West Film Group can definitely help with this. Help President Lu contact CCTV."

"really?"

Lu Fei patted the table, made a decision, and proposed to buy goods in batches and pay in batches.

Set a sales target for each other, sell as much as you can, and buy 1 sets according to the lowest standard if the target is not reached by the deadline.

"I'm going to ask the headquarters for instructions."

Zhu Jie was so excited, 1 sets, according to the purchase price of 5 yuan, that is 5 yuan, a little bit of return!
Lu Fei looked dissatisfied, and even worried that after the hype, the stock of 5 sets would not be enough, and threatened to add another 5 sets to make up 10 sets at 5 yuan each, but the condition was——

"Since I am in the business of this film, other websites cannot sell it, and I still have the exclusive right to sell the VCD of "A Chinese Journey to the West" online."

10 sets, no tax for bragging!

Zhu Jie couldn't make a decision, and was worried that the time would be too long. Lu Fei would wake up and call the headquarters face to face.

Lu Fei tasted Yuqian Longjing carefully, and the taste turned sweet, and he saw him having a meal with his superiors, and the answer he gave was——

The deadline is 4 months, all 5 sets in stock are sold, and another 3 sets will be replenished, but the wholesale price remains at 7 yuan.

When it came to the end, we bargained back and forth, and the time for two cups of tea was compromised to 6 yuan.

Lu Fei walked out of the door: "I will bring the order contract with the lawyer the day after tomorrow, and I hope to meet the leaders of your company then."

Zhu Jie made repeated promises, watched the two of them get into the taxi, and scolded with a smile: "Gua Wazi, the melon is so good!"

He turned his head and told the clerk to count and sort out the goods that Lu Fei ordered, and then rummaged through other backlogged VCDs for statistics.

"Director, what is this for?" The clerk was very depressed. Doesn't this increase the workload.

"Nonsense, when you meet such a second hammer, let's see if other undervalued goods can also sell him!"

　Westward Journey really became popular around 2000, not in 96.
