Our Rise Era

Chapter 84 Zhang Yang sends out red envelopes! (Second update)
Late May.

It snowed in Hangzhou.

The entire city was covered with white snow, and it stretched as far as the eye could see in the urban area with tall buildings.

After the snow, the temperature dropped below minus 3 degrees Celsius, and a large area of ​​​​West Lake in Hangzhou was frozen.

Climate experts point out that such widespread freezing conditions have only occurred on West Lake in January 1977.

The entire global stock market seems to have ushered in the cruelest winter in this snowy and icy world.

Asian stock markets continued to tumble.

The Nikkei Stock Average and Hong Kong Island's Hang Seng Index fell more than 5% and 8% respectively. The Hang Seng Index fell 2 points, the largest single-day drop in history.

Half of the world's stock markets fell below the 250-day moving average, the so-called bull-bear dividing line, on that day.

Even though there were rumors in the market that the US would cut interest rates by 4.3% to 1% ahead of schedule to save the market, it was unable to rebound...

On the same day, the Shanghai Composite Index fell sharply by 7.22%. On January 2008, 1, the stock market fell to 21 points. It was only a matter of time before it fell to the 4000 level...

The experts who had been shouting about the coming of a new bull market in major news media seemed to have disappeared overnight...

Both the media and print magazines have expressed unprecedented pessimism about this sudden stock market crash.

This desperate stock market crash lasted until the end of January 08, when the Federal Reserve announced a 1% interest rate cut to save the market, which only made things a little better...

Of course, this is the first time since the 9/11 incident that interest rates have been suddenly cut before the market opens to save the market, and the cut was half a percentage point at that time.

Although this rate cut did not cause a rise in the US stock market, it stimulated a rebound in stock markets in other markets around the world. The Shanghai Composite Index rose sharply by 3.14% that day, and the Hong Kong stock market set a record for the largest single-day point increase in history, rising by 2 points (332.54%) and returning to above the 10.72-day moving average...

....................................

The shadow of global stock market turmoil did not affect Jiang Chao.

The direct reason why people were not affected was one word: “poor”.

Because of poverty...

Jiang Chao did not have extra money to invest in the stock market. Because he was poor, he even received very few harassing messages on the phone.

After so many years in Taiwan, he has deeply realized that he is not destined to become rich overnight.

The evening of June 2.

There are still 5 days left until New Year's Eve.

"rest!"

In the studio of "Armored Man".

Jiang Chao waved his hand tiredly and asked the leading actors to take a rest.

While sitting in the temporary lounge, Jiang Chao took a gulp of water, then forced himself to stay alert and silently read the shooting diary of "Armored Man"...

Zhang Yang gave him a month to shoot 15 episodes, and today was the last day, but he still had one last episode...

15 episodes a month!
Not difficult.

What's difficult?
Within a month, you need to prepare all the costumes and props, build a studio, form a team, analyze and split the plot, and...

During this month, Jiang Chao almost drove himself crazy. He almost always dreamed about filming movies, and then dreamed that he failed to complete the task. Finally, he was awakened by a nightmare.

"call!"

Money is hard to earn!
Shit tastes bad.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Mr. Zhang and the coal boss did not give any comments on the cast of "Armored Man". Jiang Chao went to the [Yanjing Film Academy] and, with the recommendation of his teacher, brought in a few hardworking junior brothers. These junior brothers had good acting skills and were quite obedient, which saved him a lot of trouble...

Moreover, the only advantage of shooting a children's special drama is that the plot does not need to be meticulously crafted. All you need to do is recite the lines and act awkwardly within a single routine.

"Director Jiang... [Magic Core VX] has finished the special effects for the first five episodes. Do you want to take a look?"

"Let me see..."

After lying in the lounge for about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Then...

Jiang Chaoqiang perked up, sat up, took the notebook handed to him by his assistant, and watched the first five episodes of "Armored Ultron".

After each episode of "Armored Man" is edited and reviewed, it is sent to [Magic Core VX] to make special effects according to their own requirements...

In fact, Zhang Yang and Jiang Chao did not have very high requirements for the special effects of "Armored Man". As long as it was not like a 5-cent special effect, it was acceptable and cool enough.

For the kids to see...

What kind of bike do you want?

I don’t know if the requirements for this special effects drama were not high to begin with, or if the special effects of [Magic Core VX] were done very seriously.

After Jiang Chao finished watching the first five episodes of "Armored Man", he actually found that this thing was pretty good...

Jiang Chao nodded with great satisfaction.

Then he called Zhang Yang.

However, no one answered Zhang Yang's phone, nor his personal phone.

Jiang Chao has also gotten used to it. These days, when filming "Armored Man", Zhang Yang hardly ever shows up on the set. Instead, Mr. Chen and Chen Bicheng come to the set every day, constantly asking when their roles can be filmed and when they will come out.

Jiang Chao was just about to put down his phone and continue filming the 15th episode of "Armored Man" overnight so that he could have a good rest tomorrow when his phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Chao was about to answer the phone...

But the phone didn't respond after being pressed for a long time, and finally it turned off abruptly.

"Damn, this old antique!"

"At the critical moment, you are always not strong enough!"

Jiang Chao cursed for a long time...

The assistant looked at Jiang Chao as if he had thought of something. "Director Jiang, Mr. Zhang's show today, [Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Knife] seems to be being broadcast live together. It seems to be selling mobile phones. How about we take a look? See if there is a suitable mobile phone for us?"

"Mr. Zhang is selling mobile phones again?"

"Yes, Director Jiang, don't you know that Mr. Zhang's business territory has expanded again? I heard that a few days ago, a mobile phone brand called [Xiaomi] was established..."

"From instant noodles to special effects films, and then to mobile phones, Mr. Zhang's range is really too exaggerated." When Jiang Chao heard this, his expression suddenly became particularly wonderful: "Mr. Zhang, he won't let go of any piece of meat..."

"Let's take a look?"

“Let’s take a look…” “…”

....................................

January.

Someone has specially counted the ratings of "Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Sword".

The ratings of various county-level TV stations have almost doubled compared to December, showing a thriving scene.

However, the Taifeng County and Songxiang County TV stations had a dispute over which county's local enterprise "Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Knife" was from.

It's the end of the year, and leaders are counting the political achievements of various industries in 07.

In the past, the performance of these county-level TV stations has always been at the bottom, and the TV station leaders have all been slacking off and living a shabby life...

But this year, it's different.

A global financial crisis swept across China, and all industries and sectors were sluggish, especially the foreign trade economies at the county level, which were hit hard.

At this critical juncture in Taifeng County and Songxiang County, the turnover of several companies centered on Zhengyang International Food Group suddenly rose against the trend, and under Zhang Yang's operation, their reputation became bigger and bigger, and their traffic doubled, which in itself is an exciting signal.

This signal...

The superiors naturally saw it.

At the year-end summary meeting, the leaders also specially praised these companies...

The leaders of Taifeng County and Songxiang County began to argue over this praise.

The leaders of Taifeng County slammed the table and said that Zhang Yang rose from Taifeng County. In fact, "Popai Superman" and "Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Knife" were both projects supported by Taifeng County...

The leaders of Songxiang County were not to be outdone and said that Zhang Yang was the first to sign a contract with Songxiang County, and Songxiang County approved an entrepreneurial base for Zhang Yang to provide IP development, which was its own political achievement...

In order to gain political achievements for their respective counties, the leaders of the two places almost engaged in a verbal battle at the meeting.

The surrounding counties were not to be outdone, saying that [Zhengyang International Food Group] also had transportation stations and points in their counties. In fact, they were also supporting [Zhengyang International Food Group]'s performance increase this time, and said that Zheng Guodong had signed a series of factory construction policies with them, and they also made a lot of efforts in attracting investment...

……

In fact, the sales volume of Zhengyang International Food Group is not good enough in China, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the sales volume is second or third rate.

but……

In this era of financial crisis and economic downturn, these political achievements are very glorious in county-level cities and can indirectly leave a brilliant mark on one's resume.

Many leaders want to have a piece of the pie...

In addition to [Zhengyang International Food Group], [Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Knife] is also the top priority of the city's performance debate this time...

Because the traffic on the Internet is huge, and the program "Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Knife" has a particularly significant impact on the sales of county-level small and medium-sized enterprises, which can promote more performance, so several counties are also competing...

Eventually, the city took notice.

The city's TV station held a special meeting on "Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut It".

After this meeting.

The city announced that, in combination with visits to cooperative enterprises, they had a deep understanding of the psychology of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs and their determination to reform. Finally, the city leaders decided to deepen the reform of [Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Knife], using new formats, new faces, and [live broadcast] to broadcast live simultaneously throughout the city...

And time...

It is scheduled for the prime time at 7 o'clock in the evening!

This time...

The county leaders stopped arguing.

We are all from the same city, what is there to fight about?

..........................................

"Ok?"

"All right!"

"Is everything OK?"

"OK!"

"Row!"

At 2:1 on December 6.

Zhang Yang straightened his suit, replaced his black-framed glasses with wire glasses, and smiled in front of the camera.

not far away……

Xu Yunlong walked under the camera somewhat nervously.

When everything is ready...

Zhang Yang looked at another shot.

"Photographer, have you debugged the simultaneous live broadcast of Aiku Video?"

"All right!"

"Okay! Let's get started!"

After confirming that everything was ready, Zhang Yang closed his eyes.

After a brief silence and calm.

Zhang Yang opened his eyes!
Then, he smiled.

"Good evening, dear friends watching TV!"

"Today, in order to give back to the general public for their support, Zhang Yang decided to give everyone a cash gift!"

"Yes, we will randomly select 100 lucky viewers from the show. Whether you buy our products or not, as long as you call us during a specific time, we will give you a red envelope ranging from 100 to 1000 yuan!"

"..."

"Remember, this is a cash red envelope, which will be directly deposited into your bank cards! There is no threshold, no routine..."

"..."
