Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 904 Instant Noodles

Chen Changan and his family were watching TV, which was broadcasting the Lantern Festival Gala.

Zhu Ling complained on the side.

"It's festive, but it's not funny."

"This is to ensure stability. As long as the task is completed, it is a victory.

What you said is from the audience's perspective, even if it is a festive occasion, the audience is satisfied.

There are few TV programs now, and it’s good to watch what is available.”

Just as the two were discussing the Lantern Festival Gala, Xiujuan came back.

After all, they haven't gotten married yet, and this is Xiujuan's home, so she naturally has the key.

Zhu Ling reacted quickly. She helped with the luggage and cooked for her at the same time.

Looking at Xiujuan, who had her hair permed and was no longer dressed in rustic clothes.

Chen Changan said with a smile.

"Are you used to living in Hong Kong Island? Have you been blinded by money?"

“To be honest, after being there for so long, I’m still a little uncomfortable.

In Hong Kong, everything is about money. This is what capitalism is like.

But it also made me realize that in Hong Kong Island, as long as you have the ability, you will have the opportunity to succeed.

Before and after the movie was released, the Huo family's attitude towards me was completely different.

Even before the movie was released, they were asking me about my subsequent filming plans."

"What do you think? Do you still plan to continue filming?"

"Of course I filmed it? Why not? If you don't film something that makes so much money, you'd be a fool.

The Huo family has already said that if a sequel is to be made, they are willing to invest 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and they will pay for it, and we don’t need to pay a penny. "

Chen Changan smiled and said.

"I have the script here. I'll give you two choices. It depends on which one you choose.

The first is that I give you the script, and you are responsible for the shooting and post-production editing.

The second option is to join the crew of the TV series Journey to the West and be an assistant director."

Xiujuan said without hesitation.

“Since Big Brother has said so, if I choose to make a sequel, it may not be easy to get your help in the future.

This time the movie is a hit, how can I not know it even if others don't? It's all thanks to your instructions and post-production editing.

There is no way I could have achieved this on my own.

I know that with my current level, I am not qualified to make an independent movie.

In Hong Kong Island, I also realized that if you don’t have any ability, you will be ignored. If you can make money, everyone will be polite to you.

I can't always rely on you, big brother, to make movies. I am also competitive.

One day in the future, I will also make a movie of my own.

So I chose to go to the crew of Journey to the West to learn a bit, and then come back to continue filming the sequel."

Chen Changan smiled.

“Not bad, I know my level is not good enough.

However, it was not so easy for the crew of "Journey to the West" to persevere.

Not only do you have to travel all over the country, but the conditions are incomparable to those in Hong Kong Island.

If you really plan to go, you must be mentally prepared. "

"I knew Director Yang at the TV station, okay?

Besides, I am considered a well-known director now, and the Huo family paid my director’s fee very early on.

As long as you don’t want to put yourself in a difficult position, it doesn’t matter where you go.”

The Huo family settled the director's fee for Xiujuan with Chen Changan's consent. The company has made a lot of money and will definitely not let Xiujuan down after working hard for half a year.

"CCTV allocated RMB 3 million to Director Yang to shoot the TV series Journey to the West.

It was originally agreed that further investment would be made, but with the problems of the Spring Festival Gala.

Director Wang now understands that the most important thing for a TV station is not the TV series, but the gala.

Director Wang has learned his lesson this time and may hold evening parties on every major festival in the future.

Therefore, a lot of investment is required in venues and various equipment.

It doesn’t seem that important for the TV series that is currently being filmed.

So the TV station asked Director Yang to raise funds on his own. Director Yang then thought of the car factory, hoping that the car factory could invest 3 million to ensure the subsequent filming of the TV series.

The car manufacturer may or may not pay this money. At most, the name of the car manufacturer will appear at the beginning or end of the TV series.

This title is dispensable for today's automobile manufacturers.

However, I believe in Director Yang's ability, and "Journey to the West" is likely to become a phenomenal TV series in the future.

At the same time, my additional condition is that you can become an assistant director and learn more from Director Yang.

I believe Director Yang will definitely help you gain something out of my kindness."

"I'll go. I believe in your judgment, brother."

At this time, Zhu Ling also came out of the kitchen and made a bowl of noodles with soybean paste for Xiujuan.

"Sister-in-law, everything in Hong Kong Island is good except for the noodles with soybean paste. I love the noodles you make so much. They are so delicious."

"If you like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"it is good."

The next day, Chen Changan received a call from Uncle Nie and came to Uncle Nie's office again.

"Changan, the reason I called you here this time is actually about an old issue, which is unemployed youth.

As you said, the factories for electronic watches and calculators have all been built.

But a factory can only provide employment for a few thousand people, but there are hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people in our city.

Nowadays, the public security department is extremely busy with fights every day.

In addition to the problem of fighting, there is a more serious problem, which is that many young men cannot get married because they do not have jobs.

They even started to swear at and whistle at lesbians passing by on the roadside.

The superiors attach great importance to such issues.

But blindly suppressing it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The most important thing is to allow most people to have a job that can support themselves.

You have a very active mind and good insights. Think about whether there is any factory that can alleviate the current situation."

"Uncle Nie, forgive me for being blunt, but the problem of these hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people cannot be solved by just one or two factories.

Solving the problem is not the job of just one department.

I think we should continue to encourage individual economy. Many people who run restaurants now have good business, don’t they?

This is no longer the time for a planned economy. We cannot always rely on our superiors to find solutions, we also have to find our own way out.

But I have another idea. Do you know instant noodles?"

"I've heard of it. It's a high-end product that most people can't afford."

“The price is high because we cannot produce it, it is an imported product.

My suggestion is to introduce production lines and mass produce. This will reduce costs.

As for the price, our population base is there, so sales will not be bad anyway.

In addition, instant noodles can be sold on trains. Many people believe that being poor at home means being rich on the road.

It's normal to eat a pack of instant noodles when you're hungry when you're out and about, right?"
