Don't let him do animation

Chapter 213 Dear Chen, look at the gift I prepared for Linlang
The troubles in the country are getting worse and worse.

It is no small matter for animation to go abroad. Broadly speaking, the animation industry and its surrounding areas are very likely to become a pillar industry.

Besides, isn’t this also a form of cultural export?
West, Paris.

Chen Ji inexplicably hung up the call and connected to the CCTV reporter in China.

The person on the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Chen Ji?"

Chen Ji replied: "Yes, it's me."

"I'm CCTV reporter Wang. I went to Linlang Studios for an interview during the Optimus Prime period."

"Oh, it's reporter Wang. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Ji suddenly remembered this reporter.

Since they had witnessed the creation of happiness together, he still had some impression of reporter Wang.

Reporter Wang said on the other end of the phone: "It's like this, our reporter team is about to go to Paris and is expected to arrive in twelve hours. Can we interview on the spot? The leaders attach great importance to it. Not only will the animation be broadcast overseas, it will also be a bridge for diplomacy."

"No problem, just call me when you get to Paris."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ji glanced at the time and went online to check the specific flight time.

About eleven hours later, Chen Ji successfully met reporter Wang's interview team at the airport.

Reporter Wang and his group of four men, each carrying a backpack, were somewhat flattered to see Chen Ji coming to pick them up at the airport: "Mr. Chen"

"It's really like meeting relatives I haven't seen for a long time."

What could be more exciting than meeting people you know overseas?

Chen Ji was in this mood at the moment. He would feel very good if he could meet any Oriental person when he was alone in Paris.

Reporter Wang specifically looked at the time here and then at the sky. He left China early in the morning and arrived in the evening.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any specific itinerary recently so that we can make preparations?"

"I have nothing to do these two days. I have time anytime. I just put the animation on the video website for testing. I am still waiting for the data."

"I see. In that case, how about we interview you tomorrow?"

"no problem."

In the evening, reporter Wang and his companions planned to find a business hotel to stay. Chen Ji simply waved his hand and arranged for several of them to stay in a luxury suite in a star-rated hotel.

At least the face-saving work must be done well.

If the news is passed back, it can also create a good reputation. What's more, if you have a good relationship with these reporters, especially those who are paid by the government, they can easily influence everything in the article with a wave of their hands and a few words.

Reporter Wang and his team unloaded their luggage and equipment and quickly reunited with Chen Ji, all with a dog-licking smile on their faces: "Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry to have you spend money on a trip overseas. In fact, we can all get reimbursed when we return to Taiwan."

Chen Ji asked back: "Can I also get reimbursement for a five-star hotel?"

Reporter Wang and the other three laughed angrily. How could that be possible?

"Come on, I'll take you to eat delicious food."

"gourmet food?"

Wang Ji and his friends couldn't help but imagine images of lobster and abalone in their minds.

What kind of overseas interview is this? It's clearly a government-funded tour!
After a while, reporter Wang and his friends were in tears. They never imagined that what Boss Chen would serve at the banquet was not delicacies from land and sea, but fresh tofu pudding.

Reporter Wang's apprentice seemed to be a recent graduate. He added chili oil and imitated Western foreigners in eating pizza.

What kind of weird way of eating is this!

Chen Ji looked disgusted, shifted his gaze, and asked, "Reporter Wang, what are you here to interview this time? Can't you just wait for me to return to China?"

Reporter Wang replied: "This time, we are also following the instructions of our superiors to interview some Western TV stations."

Chen Ji seemed to be thinking about something.

Reporter Wang continued, "People in China were very excited when they heard that you were attending a TV festival in the West. Weibo was full of news about Linlang. Before I came here, I heard that a lot of reporters surrounded the office building where you were working."

Chen Ji felt that it must have been the young man with a flat head under the iron tower who spread the news, otherwise the news would definitely not have spread so quickly.

"By the way, Boss Chen, how was your participation in the TV Festival?"

"It's pretty good. More than a dozen TV stations are competing to introduce it."

"It seems I have to prepare a live video of the Bali TV Festival."

The next day.

Reporter Wang and his colleagues conducted a routine interview with Wang Ji. They had discussed the content of the interview in advance, so the interview was very simple, just a show.

Reporter Wang held the microphone and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, we meet again. I remember the last time we met was at Linlang Studio in Jiang City, but this time we met overseas."

"Yes, I didn't expect that this interview would be conducted overseas."

"Mr. Chen, we received news that you took your animation to the Western TV Festival and were sought after by many TV stations. Is this true?"

"of course."

"Mr. Chen, what do you think about broadcasting animation in the West?"

"We at Linlang have been working hard on animation, and we want to pass on all the happiness to every young person. With this in mind, we participated in the TV festival, and the process went very smoothly. We also didn't expect the enthusiasm and pride of the domestic audience for this."

Chen Ji spoke a lot of polite words in a very eloquent manner.

Cultural exports and spreading of happiness are not as practical as making money from Western foreigners.

Of course, these words cannot be said in front of the camera.

"As expected, Mr. Chen is an entrepreneur with patriotic sentiments. Can you tell us some interesting things that happened during this period?"

"of course can."

Chen Ji thought the most interesting thing was that at the scene, a male and a female host were chattering non-stop on the stage, but he was confused the whole time because he only knew Spanish for daily communication and couldn't understand anything.

When we came to our senses, it was when the Linlang animation was being promoted in the West.

"I guess the audience watching the live broadcast must have been very surprised."

"Who knows, but it should be about the same, and I have some very important news."

Reporter Wang looked puzzled: "What news?"

"The East-West co-production animated film is about to hit theaters."

"Oh?"

"I am not in a position to reveal the specific details. It depends on the producers' willingness to release the film in theaters."

"I think it will definitely be a hit animated film."

Reporter Wang interviewed for a while, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. Finally, he looked at the time and said with regret, "Happy times are always so short. Today's interview has come to an end for now. I believe that the next interview with Mr. Chen will definitely not be too long."

“I am also looking forward to that day.”

The interview is over.

Reporter Wang stood up and prepared to say goodbye, as the team still had to go to several Western TV stations for interviews.

Before leaving, he specifically asked Chen Ji for a list of TV stations that were interested in introducing Linlang Animation.

Within a few days, Chen Ji also contacted several TV stations and formally negotiated cooperation content.

During the on-site visit, reporter Wang participated throughout the process.

"Mr. Chen, the feedback on your animations is very good, especially these three. Please take a look."

A data sheet appeared before my eyes.

According to a survey conducted by a video website, Hoops, Initial D, Transformers, and Dragon Ball have the highest expectations, probably because of their passion. In contrast, other animations performed very averagely.

"We are planning to introduce all your company's animations. We hope to buy out the broadcasting rights for these four animations for 10,000 Euros per episode, and the other animations for 3,000 Euros." More than a dozen TV stations have discussed privately and agreed on a price line. Even so, they did it for the sake of Leno Animation Company's reputation.

"Sure." Chen Ji answered very straightforwardly, without even a second of hesitation. At least the other party paid the money. If the other party had no intention of introducing it, Chen Ji could even give it away for free!
After all, Linlang’s profit does not come from animation, but from IP-related toys. As long as they can be broadcast, they can drive the sales of toys.

Everyone at the scene was stunned: "So straightforward?"

Robert hurriedly stopped him: “Chen!”

Chen Ji replied: "I have my own plans."

"Mr. Chen, have you thought about it? If you have, we can sign the contract now." The heads of Western TV stations were eager to sign a buyout contract with Chen Ji immediately.

"Of course, I'm looking forward to the Western broadcast of Eastern animation, but I have one condition."

"What do you think."

"The animation will be broadcast in five months."

"Why?"

"If the contract had this amount, I would be more than happy to sign it now."

"This"

More than a dozen TV stations at the scene had a brief exchange and chose to compromise. There is no need to rush.

It doesn’t hurt that it airs five months later.

Signing the contract was very simple. Chen Ji signed his name and shook hands and took photos with the heads of several TV stations in front of the live camera.

"Huh~" Chen Ji breathed a sigh of relief. His plan to deploy animation in the West was finally accomplished.

It won’t be long before young people in the West are also bathed in the glory of Lindsay.

Chen Ji smiled secretly in his heart.

Afterwards, with Robert's help, the aftermath was quickly resolved.

Reporter Wang still didn't understand why Chen Ji agreed so readily just now, without any intention of bargaining or arguing.

He asked about this in a low voice, does Linlang Studio not intend to make money?
"It's true that I make animations, but don't forget that I also sell toys. I can make the money back by selling toys."

As long as the animation is popular, there will never be a problem with toy sales.

There is no need to worry even if they don’t sell well. Just like Transformers, the 18 Autobots were discontinued, and then the second generation of Autobots were launched with a different skin and continued to sell.

"." Reporter Wang was speechless for a moment, and looking at Chen Ji's signature wicked smile, he realized belatedly that Linlang Animation's eagerness to introduce animation to the West was by no means as simple as he thought.

Chen Ji stood up, put the ballpoint pen into his briefcase, and asked, "When are you going back to China? I'll book a ticket tonight and take a flight tomorrow."

Reporter Wang regretted: "We may have to wait a few more days and go to the embassy for interviews."

Chen Ji nodded: "Okay, then I'll go first."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Chen Ji and Robert left the venue, and the latter said regretfully: "Chen! Are you going back to China?"

Chen Ji smiled and said, "After all, this is not my home. The plan has been fulfilled, but I will be back in a few months."

"It's because of your evil plan to sell toys. When I figured out why you wanted to broadcast the animation in the West at all costs, I really wanted to kick your ass with my big leather shoes."

"You saw it."

"Oh my God, you are more evil than the capitalists in the West. At least they don't wear a mask of hypocrisy. On the one hand, they claim to be creating happiness with their heart, while on the other hand, they ruthlessly squeeze their wallets. You are such a cunning devil."

Robert had an exaggerated expression and was gesticulating.

According to a survey conducted by a video website, many people who have watched Linlang Animation are generally optimistic about this oriental animation company.

Because they are creating happiness with their heart.

Once introduced, no fees will be charged, and it will be broadcast free of charge on TV stations and video websites.

Won the favor of countless netizens.

But actually
Robert really couldn't imagine how evil this hypocritical young man was, or in other words, his heart was black!

"Lao Luo, I'm leaving tomorrow." Chen Ji had an ambiguous look on his face. It seemed like it would be nice to spend a night with the blonde beauty before leaving. Anyway, he was leaving tomorrow.

Robert was puzzled: "Of course I know."

Chen Ji mentioned cryptically: "Aren't you going to invite me to experience something that I can't experience in the East?"

Robert stood there and repeated something that could not be experienced in the East. He looked at Leno CEO on the side and understood instantly.

"I see, you mean the beer hall, Chen. I bet our original beer will definitely be the best beer you have ever tasted!"

"???" Chen Ji was confused.

The next day.

The domestic flight from Pakistan is in the evening.

Chen Ji had plenty of time to pack his luggage. After he finished packing, Robert hurried to the hotel and drove over to see him off in person.

Robert's smile disappeared, and he looked a little heavy: "Chen, I'm really sorry for not letting you experience more of our unique Western content."

Chen Ji lacked character: "No need."

He wanted to experience an exotic life but was taken to a beer can and then forced to drink beer by a group of Leno's men. He wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible.

Although the beer tasted really good and was very different from oriental beer, you know how I spent the evening.

I have to go to the bathroom in less than five minutes!

At that time, Chen Ji once doubted whether he was made of water.

Robert never understood Chen Ji's melancholy and thought he was so unhappy because he was reluctant to leave. He consoled him and asked, "Chen, did you bring any local specialties back?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No."

Robert said disdainfully: "You are such a vampire. I think those people who followed you will definitely regret not bringing any specialties back."

"Hiss" Chen Ji took a breath. He was persuaded by the other party. He might see disappointed faces when he returned.

He quickly said, "Lao Luo, what you said seems to make sense. While it's still early, take me to buy some local specialties."

"Okay, I'm your loyal driver today!"

Under the guidance of Robert, Chen Ji was taken to the Century Shopping Mall near the airport to buy local specialties.

Chen Ji searched around the specialty area but couldn't find any suitable specialty.

The cross is nice, but I always feel it would be a bit inappropriate to give one to each member of the team.

"Forget it, it would be better to go back and give everyone a red envelope."

Chen Ji shook his head and prepared to leave.

At this time, Robert came over with a backpack: "Chen, you haven't chosen yet, look at the gifts I prepared for Linlang's friends!"

He opened his backpack ostentatiously, revealing a bag full of local specialties.

"." Chen Ji was speechless.

He was very familiar with the specialties there, although he didn't quite understand why the specialties place at Bali Airport sold things like chopsticks.

The packaging is very nice, but you can’t escape the fact that it is chopsticks, and the price is a whopping five euros per pair!

Take another look at the origin of the packaging.

"Meideyin demolished that~yi~wu~"

Damn, this is amazing!
