Dream Movie Studio
Originally supposed to cost $600,000 to rent, it ended up costing only $300,000 and also gave Mr. Henry Miller a headache, such a huge change made the old man dizzy for half a day.
"Ayan, I really suspect you're a magician? How did you do it?"
"It's nothing much, just that when I met Mr. Henry, I did a bit more homework." Yì Fēi Yáng said with a smile.
"But where did you get those materials in your hand?"
"Bought it! Bought from a bank, spent almost 30,000 US dollars."
"Great praise! Spent $30,000 but saved $300,000! Most importantly, didn't get cheated by that old fox!" Camels are good at calculating accounts.
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking of Gusta's lion head, really what a piece of meat that wouldn't let go, even 30,000 US dollars in human feelings weren't willing to do.
In fact, for businessmen like Gus, Yifeiyang only has admiration. Because such people are the ones who really do big things and will not take a single penny lightly.
In their eyes, capital is accumulated penny by penny. The principle of accumulation is an eternal truth. When you have one more cent than others, you are the master of this cent.
"Although it's a bargain, but I'm really penniless now," said Yi Feiyang. "The factory needs to be renovated after buying it, the first floor will be used as an office, the second floor will be used as a conference room and screening room, and the third floor will be used as a copying factory... But all of these need money! That damn $24 million dividend, I don't know when it can be cashed!"
Just as Yi Feiyang was about to fly into a rage, Camelsmile laughed and said, "With me around, what do you have to worry about? I'm an old man who doesn't need much, but I do have some coffin money set aside. Add that to the 4 million you gave me, and you can take it and use it. Just pay me back when you have the money!"
"But, Old Camel, is this okay?" Yi Feiyang's eyes lit up, and he really hadn't expected Old Camel to be so righteous.
"What's wrong with that, unless you don't consider me a partner... Hehe, my old man is still waiting for you, the lucky boy, to take care of me and make more money!" Camels laughed happily.
Originally thought that finding a factory would help Yifeiyang, but unexpectedly almost got him into trouble. Camels with strong sense of justice and righteousness have a hidden guilt in their hearts, now they can help Yifeiyang a bit, just to make up for it.
Besides, Yi Feiyang treated him as a partner, and if he still stuck to his coffin, it wouldn't be very decent. How could he expect others to take care of him and give him benefits in the future?
Camel's father is a man who has experienced great waves and knows the world, with a thorough understanding of human relationships.
"Camel's uncle, since you've spoken up, I'd be impolite to refuse again. However, there's one thing I must clarify... isn't this usury?"
Camel was stunned.
"Hey, look up to me! What kind of person do you think I am? I'm going to be righteous for once, and not even take a penny of interest!"
……
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the same day.
In Henry Miller's office, Easy Yates, as the lessee, signed his name on the lease contract under the guidance of private lawyer Louis Carl.
"Yes, just sign here. The specific content of the contract is roughly the same as what I helped you draft before. Mr. Heinrich Müller also has great respect for your opinions..." Karl carefully explained the process of signing the contract to Yì Fēi Yáng.
Henry Miller's face looked terrible, as if he had just lost his parents, without a hint of a smile. Next to him, the guy who was his personal lawyer could only try to comfort him with words, roughly saying that they would go drink a bottle of good red wine later and forget this damn thing.
"Alright, Mr. Henry, I'm very satisfied with our cooperation this time, and I hope that next time we meet, I can invite you to have a drink...I just heard that you like French Bordeaux red wine!" Yi Feiyang smiled and extended his hand in friendship to Mr. Henry.
Henry boss hated to the teeth, but had to squeeze out a smile from the face of his dead parents and said: "Meeting you is really enough fate! Looks like I have to ask God's mother very well!"
"Haha, I truly hope God and his mother agree with your brief and to-the-point greeting!" Yi Feiyang smiled and shook hands with him, "Alright, I'm off! You don't have to see me out either! We Chinese have a saying: 'Sending you off for a thousand miles will eventually lead to goodbye.' Farewell, Mr. Henry Miller!"
Yi Feiyang finished speaking and walked out of Henry's office with Little Lawyer Louis.
"Get out, you damn fool! Goddamn Chink! Goddamn God!"
There was a loud crash, as if the cup had been smashed on the ground.
……
Walking out of Mr. Heinrich-Müller's company, looking at the sun shining brightly at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun shone on the high-rise buildings that pierced through the clouds, and Yi Feiyang covered his eyes from the dazzling sunlight before turning to Carl and saying, "Thanks for helping me out, Carl. There will be more of such things in the future, and it'll be even more troublesome for you then!"
"Dear Yi, since I decided to follow you, I have made my choice. From now on, I will serve you and your company with all my heart! Of course, this is not only for you, but also for myself!" Karl smiled and said, "You know, I'm betting on a horse, betting on the future. You are the dark horse of Hollywood that I have high hopes for. So no matter how many difficulties or obstacles there are ahead, you must get through them. I will work hard to support you from behind!"
Yi Feiyang was moved by Carl's sincere words, "I will remember your words, Carl. When I stand at the pinnacle of Hollywood one day, I promise you, I will let you accompany me to see this dazzling sun! Standing at the peak..."

October 7, 1998, 4:30 pm
Chinatown No. 13
Three-story factory building.
Inside the empty factory, an empty room. A dilapidated room with unpainted walls, a dusty floor, and spider webs in every corner of the wall...
"Look, this is our soon-to-be-established film company!" Yifei Yang led the group of people including Pangzi Gaojiabao and Rabbit Bill, saying as they toured around.
"Don't look at this building now, it's quite dilapidated, but after renovation, it will be very luxurious... Now, please ignore these dirty floors, old house doors, and these annoying spider webs... Try to exert your imagination, yes, imagination, think about what this place will look like in the future?" Yi Feiyang said in a hypnotic tone.
"First, the layer you see is also Chapter 053 of the entire building, Si Guangyi. After going through a brainstorming session that was even more intense than 'brainstorming', they finally came up with an idea."
Unfortunately, due to limited computer special effects technology on the side of Yì Fēi Yáng, they could only hand over their creative ideas to a newly established Hollywood computer special effects company "Rapid Thunder Special Effects" to personally produce, and were told to do it at the fastest speed possible.
The other party replied, give enough money, and the speed can fly to heaven!
Then, the factory logo was released in just one day.
DV shooting...
The first shot: The coconut trees swayed gently in the breeze, with a vast expanse of turquoise ocean stretching out as far as the eye could see.
The second shot, from stillness to motion, suddenly a beautiful fish tail emerges from the sea, slapping the water surface, transforming into countless colorful bubbles...
The third shot: Bubbles rise up, a mermaid jumps out of the sea, hooks her tail, and turns into a curved, slender, and transparent mermaid logo, with two large letters below: dm, short for dream.
Looking at the "Mermaid" logo created by everyone, Yifei Yang couldn't help but feel stunned, beauty, fantasy, isn't this exactly what he needed?
At most in ten years, I want this beauty to be on a par with MGM's lion and Paramount's snow-capped mountain!
Just as someone was proudly showing off their company's bright and beautiful logo, a fat guy clenched his fists in distress, "Damn logo, it actually cost 6,000 US dollars! Waaah, I'm going to have to work overtime again!"
