Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 692: Historical Animated Film

Even now, although Liu Qiangxi admitted it personally,

Chen Yiyang still can't believe that Jindong would personally get involved in car manufacturing.

Because it doesn't make any sense.

If it were that lady from Gree Air Conditioners saying she wanted to build cars,

Chen Yiyang would believe it.

Because as an old-generation entrepreneur, she's out of touch with the times, not knowing the costs and sacrifices needed to build cars or phones, or the talent required to form a competent team.

That's why she came up with something as abstract as the Gree phone.

But Liu Qiangxi is not out of touch with the times.

As an entrepreneur who climbed up from the bottom, Liu Qiangxi is clear on the preparations needed to enter a new field.

Jindong currently doesn't have that capability.

Even giants like Tengxu and Ah Li only invest rather than directly getting involved in car manufacturing.

Liu Qiangxi knows that Chen Yiyang is teasing him, so he sighed and said, "Car manufacturing is real, but it's not the kind you imagine.

How about this, if you have the time, come to the Imperial Capital, and I'll explain my plans in person."

"Do we have a potential for collaboration on this?" Chen Yiyang realized instantly.

Liu Qiangxi's venture into car manufacturing might just be a form of collaboration without directly getting involved.

But the partner hasn't been decided yet.

That's why he needs to discuss it face-to-face with Chen Yiyang.

"Sure, I'll see. I have time in the next couple of days, so I'll come to the Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow."

After finishing the call with Liu Qiangxi, Chen Yiyang arranged some company matters internally.

Then he took a flight to the Imperial Capital.

He told Liu Qiangxi he'd arrive the day after, but he actually arrived in the Imperial Capital the next day.

With the extra day, naturally, he went to see Zhang Yuling, who had recently returned from Africa.

After doing his utmost to satisfy Zhang Yuling, Chen Yiyang chatted casually with her.

"Since coming back to the Imperial Capital, many people have been seeking me out for investment," Zhang Yuling said.

"They know you've struck it rich?" Chen Yiyang, lying on the waterbed, half-naked, had given up thinking and was speaking purely instinctively.

"No, it's because word got out that you invested in me, and many think we've broken up and that I got a hefty breakup fee from you."

Chen Yiyang hadn't expected it to be for that reason.

Though from an outsider's perspective, such speculation isn't entirely outlandish.

Chen Yiyang's rise was too fast and mysterious.

Many big figures in the Beijing Circle hadn't even registered it, but Chen Yiyang's influence had already become too significant to ignore.

Unlike other tycoons who, on their ascent, found themselves entangled with various powers,

Chen Yiyang seemed to have risen up too cleanly in outsiders' eyes.

This "clean" implies that apart from Yang Chengru's backing family power, Chen Yiyang wasn't much associated with other domestic old powers.

He kept all his earnings to himself and didn't share them with others.

As a result, people in the Beijing Circle wanting to collaborate with Chen Yiyang previously only had Zhang Yuling as a contact point.

Then Zhang Yuling suddenly talked about heading to Africa for some entrepreneurial project.

Doesn't this sound like they broke up, with Zhang Yuling taking a massive breakup fee from Chen Yiyang and heading to Africa to avoid the limelight temporarily?

So, this time, as Zhang Yuling returned home for a vacation, all sorts of projects approached her, hoping to get investments from her.

"What investment projects are there?" Chen Yiyang was bored, so he wanted to give Zhang Yuling some advice.

"Most investment projects aren't reliable," Zhang Yuling said helplessly, "These people think I'm gullible.

Only one animated film project seems decent; the conditions offered are good. I'm hesitating."

"An animated film project?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously, "Which company is shooting it? What is it about?"

In the domestic scene, only three animated movies can truly be considered milestones.

One is 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back,' which ushered in the spring of animated films; one is 'Nezha,' which set new heights for animated film box office. And the third is 'Chang'an: Three Thousand Miles,' which showed that historical animated films can also be popular.

Of course, aside from these three, the 'Boonie Bears' series has been quietly profitable.

But that series is a special case, one that others can't easily replicate.

"It's a historical animated film," Zhang Yuling said, "scripted and overseen by the famous historian Yi Weitian."

"The Yi Weitian who used to talk about the Three Kingdoms on the Hundred Schools Forum?" Chen Yiyang inquired.

"Yes," Zhang Yuling said, "this film is largely organized by his daughter. In order to leverage her father's commercial potential, she believes that with Yi Weitian's fame, creating a historical Three Kingdoms animated film might achieve the heights of Chang'an: Three Thousand Miles in box office results."

This project does sound promising.

In this era, if you have a dad, you should definitely use him.

Why struggle hard by yourself when you can rely on family?

In the old idol dramas, male leads were often from illustrious backgrounds but insisted on being independent and starting from scratch.

But in reality, wherever a dad has resources, the children are likely to venture into that field.

Independence and self-reliance?

Impossible.

A famous director's daughter will also be a director.

An actor's son will naturally become an actor.

Like Yi Weitian, as a historian, if his daughter follows in his footsteps to research history, she might do well, but the earnings would be too low.

Hence, Yi Weitian's daughter thought of capitalizing on her father's fame.

This led to the Three Kingdoms historical animated film project.

The father is the scriptwriter and overseer, while the daughter is the producer.

The plan is to collaborate with a powerful animated film company, attract some investors, and get the film made.

It's the best way to make money.

Chen Yiyang didn't have any issues with this.

It's an upfront way to earn money respectfully, nothing to criticize.

Moreover, even though Yi Weitian tends to blend personal views into history because he's a fan of the Three Kingdoms' Cao Wei,

it doesn't matter, as history naturally yields varying perspectives and opinions among different people. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Some like Sima Yi, let alone those who favor Cao Wei.

"This project truly has potential,"

Chen Yiyang said, given Yi Weitian's fame, writing, and with his daughter as the producer, she would undoubtedly take the project seriously to avoid shaming her dad.

So the project itself seems reliable.

"Shall we invest in this film then? The total investment for this movie is roughly 100 million, and I plan to invest 20 million."

"Let's not rush," Chen Yiyang held back Zhang Yuling.

"Since it's an animated film, the script should already be ready; ask them to send over the script for a look.

In such historical animated films, live actors aren't involved, so the script is the most crucial part."
