Chapter 740 Counterattack on Europa(2/2)
"You're just sick. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to take off my makeup."
Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, wondering what happened.
"Okay, I'll go out first, Wangzi is still waiting for me outside."
Lu Yiming walked out of the Workers' Stadium and saw Li Quanwang at the door.
"Wangzi, I'm here."
Li Quanwang glanced this way, then walked over and said, "Da Ming, I just made a calculation."
"Huh? What account?"
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows, wondering what Li Quanwang was talking about.
Li Quanwang said: "A performance like this would cost two to three hundred thousand, right?"
Lu Yiming thought about it in his mind and said, "Absolutely."
Li Quanwang continued: "This does not include other daily living costs and the expenses of the cast and crew. If you include it, I estimate that it will cost at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan to make back the original investment."
"yes."
Li Quanwang raised his fingers and said: "But I just counted, and it seems that only more than 20,000 tickets were sold. The Capital Workers Stadium has 64,000 seats, and the occupancy rate is only one-third. Tickets
The price is 20 yuan, and the ticket revenue is only over 500,000 yuan, which is a complete loss-making business."
Lu Yiming retorted: "How can we say that we are losing money when it comes to cultural people? Besides, I am rich, so it is reasonable to pursue my artistic taste a little bit, right?"
Li Quanwang's eyes revealed deep doubts: "By the way, I seemed to have seen Lin Yuzhen on the stage just now."
Lu Yiming asked: "Is there any? Why didn't I see it? Am I short-sighted?"
Li Quanwang immediately spat in his face: "Bah, I'll give you some rainbows and you'll be brighter. You're an investor and you don't know that Lin Yuzhen is here? I don't think you have any good intentions. She has graduated and gone out, and
If you’re not a dancer, how could you appear on this crew under normal circumstances?”
Lu Yiming thought to himself, this is indeed the truth, but the team reciprocates and insists on dragging people in. What can I do?
"What's wrong with you? Don't talk nonsense. Lin Yuzhen and I are innocent, okay?"
"Tch, you don't have the guts to be a thief now, you won't be able to tell for sure in the future."
"..."
Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "Stop beeping. Let's go back to the hotel for a late-night snack. Call the chef to prepare some Olong Wagyu beef or something."
Li Quanwang licked his lips and said with a smile: "I happen to be hungry too. Let's go and eat all the wagyu you picked up by the roadside last time."
Half an hour later, Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang were already sitting on the observation deck of the presidential suite of the five-star hotel where Lu Yiming was staying. Looking at the lights in front of them, they opened the fine champagne and listened to the Wagyu beef roasting on the iron plate.
A "squeaking" sound.
At this time, Zhao Tiezhu came in and said, "Mr. Lu, I have a guest asking to see you."
Lu Yiming asked: "Who?"
Zhao Tiezhu said: "I don't know him, it's a strange European face."
Lu Yiming said: "Forget it, I have a day off today and won't see any guests."
"OK."
Lu Yiming sent Zhao Tiezhu away and chatted with Li Quanwang while eating Wagyu beef and drinking champagne.
A few minutes later, Lu Yiming's phone rang. To his surprise, the call was actually from Shi Jinhua.
"Director Shi, you're calling me so late. Do you have any advice?"
Shi Jinhua said: "Did a foreigner just look for you?"
Lu Yiming thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is indeed such a person. I didn't see him. He interfered with my late-night snacks and sent him away. What's wrong?"
When Shi Jinhua heard this, he suddenly became ashamed and said: "He is Andre, a French jewelry merchant. He is a European who is engaged in luxury goods business. He thinks that our Xia country's economy is growing rapidly, so he wants to come and invest. He said that he particularly likes it.
Our country’s classical culture and art. After learning that you supported the stage play "Civilization", I wanted to have an in-depth exchange with you. I heard that he also planned to ask for the stage play "Civilization" to be performed in Paris.
Woolen cloth."
Hearing what Shi Jinhua said, Lu Yiming immediately remembered what Lin Yuzhen said just now about a foreigner inviting him to perform in Paris, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll ask the butler to bring him up. Oh, I'll waste a few more Wagyu dollars."
"
Shi Jinhua: "..."
After a while, Andre walked in accompanied by Zhao Tiezhu.
Andre was very enthusiastic. Although his accent was a little lame, he insisted on talking to Lu Yiming in Mandarin: "Mr. Lu, I have heard your name many times. This stage play you invested in is really great. I think
Parisians should also have the right to enjoy such a wonderful performance."
Lu Yiming frowned slightly, feeling that there was something strange about these words.
However, he did not go into details and just said lightly: "It would be great if it could be performed in Paris."
"Civilization" tells the story of China. If it can enter the European art market, it will be an act of cultural external propaganda and a major counterattack. Of course Lu Yiming will not object.
Andre immediately said, "I can help with this matter!"
Lu Yiming said casually: "Would it be too much trouble for you?"
Andre said quickly: "No trouble! To me, art should have no national boundaries. Xia Country has a glorious culture and should shine on the world stage!"
Afterwards, the two of them talked and laughed around the topic of art, and it was quite a pleasant conversation.
When leaving, Lu Yiming even got up and sent Andre to the door. The two parties also left each other's contact information.
When Lu Yiming returned to his seat, Li Quanwang sighed: "I didn't expect that there are also good people among European and American capitalists."
Lu Yiming smiled half-heartedly and asked: "Why do you think Andre will be a good person?"
When Li Quanwang heard Lu Yiming's rhetorical question, he was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "He likes the traditional culture of our Xia country very much, and he is also warm-hearted and willing to provide selfless help. Isn't this a good person?"
Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "He just sells luxury goods and relies on the vanity of leeks to make money. How can he be a good person? As for artists or enthusiastic art lovers, these are just labels deliberately displayed to outsiders.
That's all, in fact, he doesn't know anything about Xia culture at all, and even his basic understanding is wrong, and he's just pretending. As for helping, it's just a performance, and he doesn't pay for it, so how much does it cost? On the contrary, through this
