Reborn Cultural Empire

Several people on Yang Yi's side immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and even Director Chen looked worried and didn't know what he was thinking.

For this result, Wang Jing's mother was naturally very embarrassed. After taking a look at her master, she couldn't help but want to smooth things over: "Teacher, in fact, our Director Yang is already very sincere, and besides, he wants you to sing I’ve listened to all of you, and I used to sing dan roles, so I don’t think there’s anything rebellious about changing it up like this? At most, I’ll come here once, and it’s okay to earn money for Xiao Ke?”

"You don't need to talk about Hongmei. I know it in my heart. This piece is actually good. Although it lacks a bit of old flavor, it can still have something to do with the ancient music passed down from our ancestors. And the piece that was released "Nan Ke Ji" singing, if I heard it right, there should be something like that, the taste of national singing in it? But let me tell you, some things can only be persisted. If you give in for the first time, then there will be a second The second time! With the second time, there will be countless times in the future, so you don't need to persuade. "

Hearing this, the boy was not only speechless in his heart, but he also felt some admiration. After all, in the current era where money is beginning to show its power and material desires are about to flow, there are not many people who can still stick to their hearts.And the old man happened to be one of the few people, all Yang Yi could do was to pay his respects.

Director Chen from the Cultural Bureau coughed twice, then looked at Yang Yi, his meaning was very clear—or should I speak up in the name of the Cultural Bureau?

After understanding the meaning of the other party, the boy was shocked, but then he calmly and quickly rushed to speak before the other party.Because he couldn't directly reject Director Chen's proposal, he could only take a roundabout route: "Since this is the case, Mr. Chang has insisted on his opinion again and again, and we at Yangyi Culture can only say it's a pity. I hope there will be another opportunity in the future." cooperate."

"You can look for other opera troupes. Although there are relatively few people who continue to sing Kunqu opera, there are some after all. There is a Liujia troupe across the lake. Although it is not as famous as us, if you don't need the original water mill Then I guess they can make do with it." The old man saw that Yang Yi was clean and free, and didn't continue to stalk him, so he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and thought about it.He took the initiative to introduce it to Yang Yi.

"It's not interesting to invite others. I did some research and found out that Mr. Chang, your Chang's class is the best and most famous. That's why I came here to invite you." Yang Yi was not without regrets, but But he didn't intend to continue persuading the other party.

"Hehe, look at you, while saying that our kung fu is the best and the most famous, but at the same time, we are asked to change our singing style. If we change our singing style, who would know that our kung fu is the best? Isn't this talking nonsense for a long time? "The old man chuckled and couldn't help joking.

Yang Yi was slightly embarrassed, and nodded with a dry smile: "That's true... well, that's not right. Let others sing? No need for vocals and skills? That's right, why didn't I think of it?"

Just when everyone was staring sideways, not knowing why he was going crazy.The boy suddenly slapped his thigh: "Chang Lao, you don't want to go out of the mountain yourself. That's fine, I won't force you. But if I want to ask you to help teach a few apprentices, do you think it's okay? It doesn't take much advanced effort, The most basic thing is that you can go on stage and hum a few words, and put on a Kunqu opera posture."

"That can't be done, can't be done! I know what you mean. I want to find a few people to pretend to be a troupe to perform? But if I teach them, it's no different from being on stage by myself, and you said that only half a year's work, half a year's work can produce What's coming? Not to mention the water grinding the mouth, even the sleeves can't be shaken clean, isn't this ruining my own reputation?" The old man shook his head immediately, but he didn't agree to Yang Yi's proposal, and he still had a gesture of blowing his beard and staring up.

"I don't want to really learn something, it's just a gimmick, how about being a registered disciple at most?" Yang Yi ignored the old man's already somewhat unsightly face, and tried his best to drum up his three-inch tongue: " Besides, the students I want to learn from you are not Chinese people, they are just foreigners. Even if foreigners can’t learn well, it’s not shameful, right? And I can publicize it well, your kung fu is so good, the team The level is so high that even foreigners are willing to learn from you."

"Foreigner?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting the other party to say that.

The event planner from the animation department of Yangyi Culture in the back couldn't help but look at his colleagues beside him, his eyes full of puzzlement of "what's the boss's idea?"As for the assistant to the president's office who was questioned by his eyes, he spread his arms outright, thinking, what's the use of asking me this question, you, a professional event planner, don't even know what Director Yang thinks, so can I still figure it out?

"Could it be that you still plan to let foreigners go on stage to perform our ancestors' things? They are all golden haired glass balls and eyeballs, and they don't scare people to death with makeup? They look like monkeys in Malaysia, no, no, it's just nonsense! "The old man dared to answer and waved his hand, thinking that this kid looked quite reliable before, why did the more he talked, the less serious he became?

"It's not that kind of golden-haired big horse monkey with blue glass beads." Yang Yi couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that he didn't see his feelings. This old gentleman is still an old cynic. No matter what you pay attention to, you can say that you are a foreigner and a foreigner. In the end, Mr. Chang is good, and he summed it up directly with a big horse monkey: "I am an islander, very similar to us Chinese, but he is still a foreigner, right?"

"Devil? That's even worse. I don't have to say it. You hurry up and walk around, don't say any more." The old man's face changed suddenly, and he was about to turn his face and deny anyone.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Jing's mother stood up and explained, "Teacher's father was... when he was not liberated in the early years, so what..."

Yang Yi knew that Kunshan was between Shanghai and Nanjing, and it was also the hardest hit area by the Japanese invaders, so it was reasonable for the older generation here to see the islanders as unfriendly.Although he can understand this situation, he still disagrees with the practice of hating or overthrowing everything because it is an island country, even though the main theme of the people between the two countries has always been mutual hostility.But there are always some people who are willing to see the friendship between the two countries.

What's more, even the boys themselves don't like the so-called friendly Chinese island nation.But for the sake of the other party's huge and mature animation consumer market, he also had to persuade Chang Hongqu to help him.Come out and be this teacher.

"Chang Lao, in fact, I just explained directly to you that what I want to do now is for myself, but in the end it can make money from the island country. Earn money from the island people and create foreign exchange for our country And taxes. Do you know that this book is actually adapted from an animation work of our company. You should know that animation? It is something for children in their teens and 20s. It is better than the previous one. Cartoons need to be more mature and target a wider audience..."

"Stop your rhetoric, I won't help you with this."

Regarding the old man's decisiveness, Yang Yi seemed to turn a blind eye, and continued to explain: "And this kind of animation, the island people are the best, so now in our domestic market, almost 90.00% of the works above five are theirs." Stuff. You know just these seemingly inconspicuous comic books. How much income can they bring to the animation companies in the island country every year? How much money can they make from the pockets of teenagers in our country?"

Although Chang Hongqu didn't answer, after listening to Yang Yi's question, he sat down again with an unsure expression on his face.

"More than [-] million. This is just the current statistics. If their products fully capture our domestic market, this number will be doubled several times. Mr. Chang, you don't want to have entanglements with the islanders. Okay, I understand But in the near future, those island companies may not cooperate because of you this time. They earn hundreds of millions of RMB from the teenagers in our country, and this figure is the same every year.”

"What's a hundred million or hundreds of millions? Aren't these just what you say?" The old man snorted, apparently not believing Yang Yi's words.

"Master Chang, you are wrong to say that. If you know the domestic animation market well, then you can refute Director Yang's words, but if you don't know much, I think you should trust him." It took a long time, and now seeing that he can be useful, he immediately interjected without losing the opportunity: "Our Ministry of Culture has made statistics on this aspect, and here I assure you that the statistics mentioned by Director Yang are all true. , not mixed with any water."

Regarding the official position and attitude, Chang Hongqu still had to take it into consideration. After hearing the words for a long time, he didn't say a word. Obviously, he couldn't refute directly. what is the relationship?"

"It has a lot to do with it, because Director Yang is going to hold a large-scale animation event in half a year, and Mr. Chang should treat it as a party-like event. In this event, Yangyi Culture will not only exhibit some very conventional Apart from animation products, the rest is to organize some industry activities. These activities are indispensable at the party. Without the atmosphere of the activities, it will not be enough. And using Kunqu opera to sing their company's animation works is the best attraction The method of eyeballs, and here I will make the decision for you. In addition to your Kunqu opera, Director Yang’s goals include Jinling Yunjin, Longquan celadon, seal cutting, paper-cutting, clay sculpture, Haining shadow puppetry... a lot of content is included in Inside, only in this way can the content of the activities be enriched, and the purpose of exposing young people to traditional culture can also be achieved.”

"And those things?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes in disbelief and said, "Our opera singers perform on stage, such as Jinling brocade, Longquan celadon, paper-cutting, clay sculpture, etc. What can they do? ?”

"This is the company's business secrets. I can only reveal the specific content of the event if you first agree to accept our invitation, Mr. Chang." Yang Yi smiled slightly, and also put a trick on the other party.

"If you don't say it, don't say it. My old man is not rare." Chang Hongqu snorted twice: "But you have held this party, so you can boycott the products of the little devils to buy in our country?"

"It can't be completely boycotted, but it can cause a part of the impact, making domestic consumers feel that our country itself has good products. If one goes up and down, it will always cause certain losses to those island countries... the little devils, right? And just now Director Chen also said that in addition to making our company famous, it can also allow today's teenagers to have more exposure to traditional Chinese culture, isn't that a good thing?"
