Chapter 765 754: France’s Real-Life “The Grandmaster” (Part 2)

When they arrived, they were told by the local martial arts academy big shots that there are rules here.First, you can't teach your disciples the real skills, then you have to pay respects to the gatekeepers, and find a disciple to represent you in a fight.

Chen Yiyang originally thought this kind of plot was just nonsense.

But now after hearing Zhang Yuling's experience, Chen Yiyang slapped his thigh.

This plot isn't nonsense at all; it's utterly realistic.

Now Zhang Yuling is just like the protagonist in a movie.

You want to open a shop in Paris?

First, you need to pay respects to the gatekeepers and promise to give up competing with other brands using the price-performance method.

Old Paris isn't against outsiders opening stores, but you need to sell luxury goods, set up high-cost, high-profit brands, and cannot compete based on volume.

If you dare disobey, then whether it's the civilian or the official side of Paris, none of them will let you off.

"I don't necessarily have to develop in France, but I just can't swallow this insult," Zhang Yuling said, "I just don't get it. How can a place like France not allow products loved by the masses to be sold here?"

"Hang on," Chen Yiyang said, "What you are facing isn't just a couple of brands, but a complete old power system. I'll ask around to see if there's any turnaround."

After finishing the call with Zhang Yuling, Chen Yiyang called Schaefer and recounted the matter.

"Hahaha, what are you thinking, daring to sell cheap goods in the territory of Parisian big shots? If you sell cheap, how will the big shots make money?

After laughing, Schaefer began a serious discussion with Chen Yiyang.

"Obviously, the resistance 'Hope' faces in Paris is not simply from some dissatisfied luxury brand owners.

These luxury brand owners, despite selling goods at tens or hundreds of times their cost price, actually have to give a large part of their profits away as protection fees.

The French aristocrats have an interesting way of collecting protection fees, through strict legislation targeted at specific fields, setting up all kinds of regulations.

You might inadvertently fall for a trap and face heavy fines.

To avoid such fines, you need to regularly donate to various organizations, party fundraising centers.

In terms you Huaxia people can understand, this is social networking.

With these social networks, you become the enterprise that gets selective enforcement."

Schaefer, although not staying long in Huaxia, has already understood the different social customs between the two countries.

In Huaxia, social customs aren't that complex; if you want someone to do something, just give them money, buy gifts.

But doing so, if caught, comes at a heavy price.

Whereas the Parisian big shots made these social networks legal and concealed very early on.

To do business smoothly, you need to donate regularly to various organizations and become their long-term meal ticket.

Later, when you are in trouble, these organizations naturally stand up and support you.

And these organizations will offer some job positions to the truly capable big shots, helping the big shots to cash in.

The advantage of this social network system is that it doesn't leave any obvious traces and naturally excludes new players, ensuring the interests of old players.

After all, even if you want to be sheltered, you first need to donate honestly for a period.

Once your donation amount meets the target and the duration is long enough, then you'll be accepted.

"'Hope' can't use this method yet, can it?" After listening to Schaefer, Chen Yiyang said, "Even if 'Hope' starts donating to various Parisian institutions now, it will still take time to resume operations."

"That's not necessarily the case," Schaefer said, "There's always an exception.

When the steady money has been received for long enough, these people consider it as basic income and spend lavishly, then they lack money again.

I just happen to know that there's a party currently very short of cash locally. I'll help you get in touch. If you're willing to spend big, they are willing to help solve your troubles."

"If I can truly break into the French market, some money isn't a big deal."

Chen Yiyang, also holding shares in 'Hope', is willing to fork out money for it.

"Then wait for my good news," Schaefer said.

The day after the call with Schaefer.

Chen Yiyang was busy working in the office when the assistant approached and said, "Mr. Chen, a Disney office in Huaxia wants to contact you?"

"Disney?!" Of course, Chen Yiyang knew what company Disney is.

Though the Yiyang System is strong now, it's still somewhat behind Disney.

"Yes." The assistant patiently explained to Chen Yiyang, "Disney previously had an animated movie series called 'Zootopia' that was particularly popular in Huaxia."

"I know this one." Chen Yiyang is quite familiar with this animated movie.

Mainly because the quality of this animated movie is so good, it took in 1.5 billion at box office domestically back then, maintaining the box office record for animated films for years.

Fairly speaking, although the Nezha series had high box office numbers, it had some interpretation difficulties for countries and regions outside the Huaxia cultural sphere.

Whereas the brilliance of 'Zootopia' lies in telling a story understandable by everyone worldwide.

That's incredibly impressive.

During those golden times of global integration, it was works like these bridging cultural gaps that fueled people's belief in humanity's eventual unity.

Of course, no one expected such belief to evaporate quickly under the impact of conservatism in just a few years.

"Their second movie is ready and will be released simultaneously in Huaxia. To better attract Huaxia viewers to cinemas to watch this movie, they hope to invite some famous local personalities for voiceover."

Watching the image while reading subtitles in Huaxia is considered a basic skill.

But in many places and countries, ordinary people can't do the same.

Thus, localized voiceovers are very important.

The previous 'Zootopia' invited many local voiceover artists.

Chen Yiyang watched the Mandarin version and felt the quality was pretty good.

But why not invite professional voice actors this time?

Could it be they just want to invite him for a small role with few lines, which wouldn't be unacceptable.

However, the assistant quickly added, "This time, for 'Zootopia II', all major roles plan to invite high-profile stars with their own traffic for voiceover.

Because Mr. Chen, you're very influential in the domestic entertainment field, and you're quite famous yourself.

So, they allow you to choose a major role to voice."

"Isn't this messing around?!" Chen Yiyang, hearing this from the assistant, didn't feel immediately happy but thought the Disney people were nuts.

The current high-traffic stars in the country even use specialized voice actors for their own acting.

Chen Yiyang doesn't see a problem in this. Allow professionals to do professional work, no issue.

Actors can act well, and voiceover can be done by professional voice actors, no issue.

But what's going on now.

They're taking their few hairs to voice major roles in a highly anticipated animated movie?

Isn't this purely driving customers away?

New viewers, who haven't seen the first one, walk into the cinema full of expectations, needing to work hard to understand the plot. Then those hoarse voices affect the mood.

The movie experience will likely drop considerably.

"Inform Disney." Chen Yiyang straightforwardly said, "Although I really like this animated movie, I hope to hear it voiced by professional voice actors.

Hope they don't hurt the heart of viewers who genuinely love this movie for something intangible."
