Chapter 335: Free America, too much freedom

Wang Yuanchao found Thomas, who had just returned from the airport buying tickets, and the two ordered coffee in the hotel lobby.

He needed to explain to Thomas what he needed to do when he returned.

"Hey Thomas, how was your rest last night?"

Thomas looked around and whispered:

"Boss, didn't you hear it last night?"

Wang Yuanchao was full of doubts, and his voice unconsciously lowered:
"What did you hear?"

Thomas said:

"I don't know which room it is, but the one who is yelling so recklessly is not the same one! People say the music industry is a mess, but I think the film and television industry is also very messy, ah."

Wang Yuanchao suddenly realized that Thomas might be talking about his room.

Their rooms are separated by several rooms, right?
Are women’s voices so penetrating?

Wang Yuanchao said calmly,

"Let's not talk about these irrelevant things. You guys go back tomorrow and settle the three of them down. Ask them to rehearse "Just Dance" first. We also need to recruit a guitarist as soon as possible. We have to hurry up and release the band's first single."

Thomas nodded. This was a serious matter and there could be no ambiguity.

Wang Yuanchao added:
"Also, let's see if we can acquire the film and television adaptation rights for The Godfather, which is number one on the New York Times bestseller list."

Thomas raised his head and thought, what’s going on? The music hasn’t produced any results yet, and now they’re planning to try out film and television?

Wang Yuanchao explained:

"I think the novel is good and has great value for adaptation. I bought it and waited for the right time to promote it and make some money."

Thomas nodded. It was number one on the bestseller list, so this book was of some value. He then said:

"Then I'll go find out how much the other party offers and report to the boss when the time comes."

In the evening, DePriest came back and called Wang Yuanchao to his suite.

“I’ve almost finished discussing Feimeison, 30 episodes, 6 minutes per episode.

They are all independent short stories, so 15 episodes will be produced in Los Angeles and Hong Kong respectively.

They can send a 10-member guidance team to Hong Kong, and they hope to have at least 200 mature painters there.”

Feimeison was very reluctant to seek resources in Hong Kong, but since they could not complete the work of corresponding quality within the time required by Hasbro, they were reluctant to lose the business, so they had to agree.

But they proposed a compromise solution, which is to do half of it.

We need to let Hasbro's clients see that not all products can be found at a bargain price.

DePriest also felt that Hong Kong had never produced an animated film before, and it would be too risky to rush over there. If it was half-production, he would be able to accept 15 episodes.

It works, I'll add more later.

Because Hong Kong is cheaper, so for the 90-minute production in Los Angeles, we worked overtime and gave some overtime pay, and in the end the cost was tied with Hong Kong, which is basically the same as the original budget investment.

It depends on whether Hong Kong can complete the task with guaranteed quality and quantity.

Feimeisun doesn’t know the level of painters in Hong Kong, so it can only recruit more in number, hoping that the gap with Los Angeles will not be too big.

Wang Yuanchao thought for a while and said:
"If the price is right, I should be able to recruit someone. If full-time isn't possible, I can get teachers and students from the school to help out part-time."

Wang Yuanchao will first recruit full-time artists. If full-time artists are not enough, part-time artists will also be fine. Hong Kong is so big, so it is not a big problem to have so few painters. He is the "underground president" of Hong Kong. If he asks everyone to come part-time to make money, who would dare not come?
DePriest told the truth:

“Hasbro will sign an agreement with Feimeisong, and you will sign an agreement with Feimeisong. They can only give you $20 per original painting because they have to bear the materials for the original painting, the salary, subsidies and travel expenses of the dispatched personnel, as well as the overtime pay in Los Angeles.

We are related here, so I will tell you the truth. Their standards for your original paintings may not be as high as those in Los Angeles, but the gap cannot be too big. "

Wang Yuanchao's heart began to beat faster and faster.

He has said before that at $5 for an original painting, Hong Kong can make you go bankrupt!
20 dollars! ?
Doesn’t that mean that Wang Yuanchao makes a net profit of 15 US dollars per ticket?
90分钟的动画片，那就是6到9万张原画，一下子就是90到135万美金的纯利润……

His Blizzard has several thousand employees, but its annual profit is only more than 400 million US dollars!

"No problem. I'll send a telegram right away to start recruiting people so that the Feimeisun guidance team can go there and start work immediately."

DePriest laughed:
"I knew you would cherish every minute of it.

Don't worry, the specific agreement will be out in the next two days, and I will cherish every minute and every second."

……

Wang Yuanchao went to the hotel front desk to find Diane.

There were not many customers at the moment, and Talia was chatting with Diane there.

Diane thought this guy had tasted the sweetness and laughed softly:

"I'm still at work! I don't get off work until 8 o'clock."

Wang Yuanchao laughed in silence, but Diane, wearing her uniform, stockings and high heels, looked quite different, so he said:
"Then can you try on this uniform after get off work?"

Diane thought for a moment and said:
"Isn't it appropriate?"

Talia said cleverly:

"Just take down the hotel nameplate!"

Wang Yuanchao didn't chat with the two of them and said directly:
"I have to go to the telegraph office to send an international telegram. Do you know where the telegraph office is?"

Talia volunteered:

"Let me take you there, I know where it is!"

Diane took out the car keys and said:
"Do you need my car? It's more convenient than taking a taxi."

"Okay!" Wang Yuanchao took the key. Since he could drive there, he didn't need to take a taxi.

Talia happily followed Wang Yuanchao out with her arm around his. Diane could only secretly complain, "You little bitch, you're addicted, aren't you?"

But you can't blame Talia, Adam is really tough and sturdy. She couldn't help but squeeze her stocking thighs under her hip skirt.

Wang Yuanchao sent an international telegram to Hong Kong, asking them to advertise and recruit Western painters.

After sending the telegram, Talia said:
"Can you take me home? I need to change my clothes!"

It’s not that I didn’t change my clothes, but I felt that Adam liked skirts more, so I couldn’t help but want to change.

Wang Yuanchao thought that the other party had not changed his clothes since yesterday.

Under Talia's guidance, we arrived at the house she rented.

"Would you like to come up for a cup of coffee?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Forget it, hurry up, we can still have dinner together."

Talia was surprised:

"Didn't we agree to wait for Diane?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"She doesn't get off work until eight!"

Talia shrugged and said:
"Okay, it's up to you."

After a while, Talia came downstairs. She was wearing a small suit skirt and looked like a capable white-collar woman, especially with makeup on.

Wang Yuanchao was not familiar with Los Angeles. Talia said excitedly:

"How about we go to the Formosa Cafe?
Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor all visited there!"

Wang Yuanchao had no objection.

Talia was kind enough to call Diane and tell her to come over after get off work.

Diane was so angry that she hung up the phone and cursed at the bitch.

It was just after get off work that she came over with Sandra Locke.

This time Sandra drove and waited for Diane outside the hotel. She knew Diane would get off work at 8 o'clock.

Diane was about to call a taxi, but when she saw Sandra greet her, she immediately responded enthusiastically.

Sandra said:

"Going to have a drink?"

After last night's close contact and joint efforts, Sandra knew that Talia's brother had a film company and was also filming a movie. As an actor, it was not a bad thing to know more movie company owners and directors. However, she did not exchange contact information with Talia, but seeing that Diane and Talia had a good relationship, and she happened to have nothing to do, she took a roundabout way to save the situation and came to drink with Diane.

Diane is not even an actress, so she was very polite to Sandra and said:
"Oh, I didn't expect you to come. We've made an appointment at Formosa Cafe, do you want to join us?"

Sandra was shocked and said:
"You guys, are you still planning to continue today?"

Diane smiled:

"I don't know when Adam will return to New York, or maybe to Asia. It's rare that we still have time, so let's get together more."

Sandra licked her lips immediately and said:

“Then let’s go!
Let's come back early tonight. I don't believe that the three of us can't beat him alone!"

Diane thought it was exciting and said carefully:

"Should we prepare some pills and hemp leaves? Maybe they'll help?"

Sandra said:

"No need to buy, I have hemp leaves in my car!"

Diane said excitedly:
"If we don't let him get the beating, hehe, let's see if he can still be powerful!"

The two women rushed to the Formosa Cafe while shouting.

……

The women took out hemp leaves to smoke, puffing out clouds of smoke. Wang Yuanchao didn't know they were smoking hemp leaves, but he didn't want to be outdone, so he took out his own cigar. Who was afraid of who?

But seeing the women's ecstatic expressions, he felt something was wrong. Cigarettes shouldn't have such a big reaction, right?

Upon asking, it turned out to be hemp leaves!
Wang Yuanchao was shocked!
He knew that things were going crazy in the United States these days, with mental liberation, homosexuality, and drug addiction all rife.

He jumped up, confiscated all the hemp leaves, tore off a shirt, and tied up several women.

The women had just been whipped for a while and weren't high yet, but now they felt like ants were devouring their souls. They were in extreme pain, begging for mercy, struggling, and yelling. Finally, Wang Yuanchao taught them a good lesson with a big stick!
……

Over there, Wang Yuanchao was teaching a few women who smoked cannabis a lesson. Here, Zhou Cong, director of Hong Kong Commercial Radio, also received a telegram from the United States.

As soon as he arrived at the office in the morning, his assistant told him that there was a transoceanic telegram from the boss that arrived at night.

After reading the telegram, I didn't quite understand why the boss wanted to recruit so many Western painters and offer them such generous salaries. Fortunately, the boss asked him to work with Phoenix Daily to complete the recruitment and training before he returned.

So Zhou Cong called Liu Heqing.

"President Liu, did you receive the boss's telegram?"

Liu Heqing said:

“I was just about to call you to discuss this.

20 yuan a painting, mainly portraits, more work more pay, I feel the boss is preparing to make a cartoon. "

Zhou Cong said:
"cartoon?"
