Chapter 324: Journey to the West
At nine o'clock the next morning.
The representative of the United Nations in China had already appeared in the conference room of a major film and television company.
Zhang Yuan got up early and rushed to the company in order to communicate with this official.
There were three people here, all Chinese, so there was no need for any translation.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, my name is Gan Gaomiao. These two are my assistants and are also responsible for meeting minutes."
"Hello Mr. Gan, please sit down."
Wang Duoduo brought in four cups of coffee and then left.
People in the company were a little nervous, and they didn't know what the people from the United Nations were here for.
"I heard that Mr. Zhang intends to make a one-time donation of US$500 million?"
"Yes, 500 million! But I need to know where the money is going. I have my own plans."
"Of course! We will fully cooperate with Mr. Zhang, but the donation to the United Nations needs to be approved by the Chinese officials. We will communicate with the Chinese officials after your confirmation."
If Zhang Yuan donated U.S. dollars, it would have nothing to do with China, but if he donated U.S. dollars, it would have a lot to do with it.
After you have money, you can't spend every money you want to spend.
Especially when these billions of funds are involved, Chinese officials will definitely review and confirm the origin and use of the money before allowing the funds to flow internationally.
"As soon as possible, I can transfer the money at any time, but I need you to hold a press conference in China to announce to the world the amount of my donation and the whereabouts of the money, and promise to accept public supervision."
Zhang Yuan's demands were not many, but he had a bottom line. He could not let so much money be embezzled by United Nations officials.
As long as you are an official, there are moths inside.
No matter how strong the anti-corruption efforts are, it will not be eradicated unless one day science and technology advance to the point where everyone has no privacy and can know everyone’s true inner thoughts as long as the device is scanned.
"Then we sign a letter of intent, and then I will contact the officials after we go back. It is estimated that all the procedures will be completed in two to three days.
If possible, we will send higher-level officials to China to hold this press conference on New Year's Day."
Gan Gaomiao was just a person who came to ask Zhang Yuan for money. As for how to spend the money, that was not something he should worry about.
"Okay, that's it. If anything happens, just call me as soon as possible."
"Okay Mr. Zhang."
People outside didn't expect the conversation inside to go so fast.
In fact, if one wants to donate money and there are not many conditions, and the other wants the money and doesn't care about Zhang Yuan's conditions at all, then the two parties can reach an agreement quickly.
It seems that Zhang Yuan has nothing to do next, just waiting to transfer money to the United Nations.
"Wukong" has been published on China Literature Online for quite some time.
There is no contract for Zhang Yuan's book, which means it is free for everyone to watch. Some data cannot be obtained, but the collection has exceeded 10 million.
The number of comments has exceeded one million.
This shows how popular this novel is.
The song "Wukong" is also at the top of all the major music rankings on the Internet. As for why it is not number one, isn't it because of yesterday's concert?
Anyway, all the songs on the list are Zhang Yuan's songs, some of which are not sung by Zhang Yuan, but all of them are written and composed by Zhang Yuan.
Now the Chinese music scene has been dominated by Zhang Yuan and is in a state of monopoly.
Fortunately, monopolizing the market with talent is not a crime.
Zhang Yuan saw the data of "Wukong" and felt that he should start the filming plan of "Wukong" movie next, and maybe it could be released in time for Labor Day.
"Wang Duoduo!"
"Boss, I'm here!"
"Call Mr. Song over!"
"Okay."
Song Yi appeared in Zhang Yuan's office a few minutes later. He thought Zhang Yuan wanted to tell him about the recent arrival of United Nations officials. After all, Zhang Yuan did not explain this matter to others and just borrowed the company's conference room.
, in fact, they are doing things that have nothing to do with the company.
"Mr. Zhang, are you looking for me?"
"I just want to ask you, I said before that I would build a film and television city in the northwest, how is the progress of the film and television city now?"
"It has been completed. I plan to turn it into a tourist attraction after filming a hit movie."
The film and television city in the northwest is the best to build. There are many abandoned settlements in the Great Gobi, which are the traces left by the oil workers in the past.
That was a big film and television company that bought an uninhabited city and built four walls out of soil and straw according to Zhang Yuan's design.
"Assemble a crew for me, I will be the director, and then give me all the information about the company's actors."
"Zhang always wants to make a movie?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I'm just worried that it will conflict with China Satellite TV's mission."
"It's okay. If there is a conflict, of course it will be over there. Let's start shooting first and see what the value of the IP is."
"I will send the information to Mr. Zhang's email address later."
After Song Yi left, Zhang Yuan began to work on the script version of "Wukong". One was the original version of the animated movie "The Return of the Great Sage", and the other was another type of Chinese version of "Westward Journey".
The plot of the animated version of "The Return of the Great Sage" was made by a team from China, and the special effects were made by a company from the United States. It was perfect.
The most important thing is the script of "Westward Journey".
Zhang Yuan waited for Song Yi to send all the actor information, and then he kept thinking about casting.
It took three full days to complete all the characters.
Originally, the position of Fairy Zixia was supposed to be He Leer's, but Zhang Yuan thought that He Leer didn't want to film anymore, so he replaced it with someone else.
A trainee who has already debuted in a group, Song Yingying.
After a brief discussion with her current company, she was offered the lead role in "Westward Journey" for a very low salary.
If I had known that such a situation would happen, Zhang Yuan would not let his company's trainees participate in these girl group and boy group talent shows until he died. Now, these trainees have to work for others for two years before they can return to their original position.
Come to the company.
After deciding on all the actors, Zhang Yuan decided on the shooting plan.
We will go to the Northwest to shoot after New Year's Day. Before that, there is a press conference to be held, and some editing and recording of "A Bite of China - Winter" must be completed as soon as possible.
All the materials for the first two episodes of "A Bite of China - Winter" have been filmed. Zhang Yuan cooperated with the post-production team to dub in the company until all the narrations of the two episodes were recorded and all the contents of the two episodes were released.
Chapter completed!
