Chapter 1199 Layers of Outsourcing, the "It's So Good" Law
Chapter 1199 Layers of Outsourcing, the "It's So Good" Law
"Hey, it's me, Lao Lei."
"Which Lao Lei?"
"Ray Kevin, which old Ray are you talking about?"
In the office, Lei Kaiwen propped his legs up on the desk, holding a cell phone and cheerfully catching up with his old comrades.
"I'd like to invite you to dinner, just to catch up, really, nothing more."
"Haha, you ask me what I've been busy with lately? What else could I be busy with but preparing for the National Special Forces Competition? Our Lei Bao is aiming for first place."
"I have something to tell you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone. Our theater command's joint production team with the August First Film Studio is planning to make a military-themed movie, yes, yes... aiming to be a classic like 'Soldiers' Sortie'."
"What, you can come along? That won't do. We have a limited number of spots. We can't just take you along like that. My decision doesn't count."
"Would you be willing to sponsor some funds? How can that be? You're just forcing me to make a mistake. The higher-ups are very strict."
"Alright, alright, we're old comrades and classmates. I happen to know the guy in charge of the project. I'll ask him for you later. Don't blame me if it doesn't work out."
"I know, I know you like watching movies. Let's grab a drink sometime, it's been so long since we last met up..."
After hanging up the phone, Lei Kaiwen took a sip of water to moisten his throat.
Then he wrote a string of numbers in the notebook: xxx donated 200,000.
The notebook was filled with a long list of names and awards for contributions.
They even marked different war zones and different units, which shows that Lei Kaiwen has a wide network of connections.
Furthermore, the name of the grassland blue team, Man Xiongzhi, is also mentioned here. They are even preparing to allocate a generous sum of 500,000 yuan, hoping to showcase the professional style of their blue team during the filming on the grassland.
This can be considered as leaving a significant mark on the screen for their Blue Team.
Seeing this, Kong Lai's eyelids twitched: "Captain, that's enough. Aren't you afraid of blowing up the phone?"
Lei Kaiwen glanced at him: "This is nothing! There are still so many calls we haven't made yet."
Kong Lai covered his face, looking utterly gloomy: "Captain, where is your scholarly integrity and indomitable spirit? Didn't you just say yesterday that this thing is just a pyramid scheme to recruit downlines? How come you've fallen right into Qin Feng's trap this time?"
“Hey, you can’t say that.” Lei Kaiwen waved his hand: “Pyramid schemes are harmful and a way to swindle money. I’m using my connections to raise start-up capital for the film.”
"It is to promote the troops, our war zone, and the hardships and difficulties faced by special forces, and to encourage more passionate young people to join the army and love their country."
Listening to the other party's endless stream of grand theories, Kong Lai's head was buzzing.
Yesterday's talks clearly fell apart; Kevin left in a huff.
Even after leaving the office, he gave Qin Feng a good scolding.
They said he was only thinking about improving grades and not addressing any subsequent problems.
His behavior is outrageous and infuriating; when the training assessment results came out, Qin Feng, the training director, took all the credit, making his work performance look amazing, leaving Lei Kaiwen to clean up the mess himself.
But only one day later, how come the captain's attitude has changed completely?
Especially the way he talks on the phone and tries to deceive people; he has the air of a complete swindler.
They say that when fellow villagers meet, they stab each other in the back; the captain used all the strategies and tactics he had in his head on himself!
Kong Lai smiled wryly: "Captain, what you're doing now is just a series of outsourced jobs."
"Qin Feng only cares about results and doesn't care about the consequences. After it's over, he just leaves and leaves us with a mess."
"But now you're essentially spreading all the problems around, distributing them evenly among everyone else. If you can't deliver on your promises later, your reputation will be ruined throughout the entire army."
"I know."
"I know, but you still did it?"
"So what? I'm not going to get promoted to this position anyway, and I'll have to retire in a few years."
Kong Lai almost vomited blood. Isn't this just throwing a tantrum and acting like a scoundrel?
Qin Feng dumped a mess on you, and you're leaving that mess for the next generation? That's incredibly irresponsible.
Seeing Kong Lai's anxiety, Lei Kaiwen waved his hand with a smile: "I was just joking with you. Even if I don't care about my own reputation, I still have to consider Lei Bao's reputation, right?"
"Here's what happened. Qin Feng came to see me this morning, and we called Deputy Commander Ge together to discuss the matter in detail."
"Deputy Commander Ge meant that as long as we do our best to raise funds, the film's production fees will continue to be distributed to support our brigade after the film is completed and broadcast."
Kong Lai's eyes lit up: "You mean, if the film can be broadcast smoothly, in addition to the funding allocated by the government, we can also receive a share of the film's copyright revenue?"
"Correct!"
Lei Kaiwen snapped his fingers: "Now you know why I've been so proactive, right? Small investment, big returns, and long-term benefits. With the August First Film Studio and the war zone working together to produce this, do you think it could be a bad film?"
Kong Lai smiled from ear to ear: "It's just a matter of how much money we make; we'll definitely get our principal back."
"Isn't it over then?"
"But the fundamental problem is still not solved, isn't it?"
Kong Lai looked at the densely packed names on the notebook: "You promised so many people, you can't possibly bring them all to film a movie, can you? Besides, we're filming how special forces develop, it has nothing to do with the ambitious grassland Blue Army."
Lei Kaiwen chuckled and said, "This brings us to Qin Feng's wisdom; he gave me a suggestion."
"When filming a movie, you have to hire extras and pay them, right? If you hire them and don't spend a penny, at most you just need to provide them with a boxed lunch, then you can save on the cost of extras, costumes, props, and sets, right?"
"Holy crap, this young man's got some serious brains!"
Kong Lai slapped his thigh and gave a thumbs up: "Even capitalists would have to admit he's an expert!"
Lei Kaiwen continued, "As for Man Xiongzhi, that's easy to handle too. Qin Feng's idea is to go there and film some scenes when we're shooting the exercise footage. We can stage a special forces operation to secretly decapitate the Blue Army command post and capture Man Xiongzhi alive. No soldier would dislike that."
Kong Lai smiled from ear to ear: "I like this plot. It not only shows the amazing combat power and destructive power of our special forces brothers, but also gives the grassland blue army a chance to shine."
"You know what, Qin Feng is actually quite something. He clearly has nothing, but I'm already looking forward to the show's release!"
Lei Kaiwen: "As for the female lead, he contacted Ms. Liu Chenxi, and she was willing to act in the film for a very low fee."
"From costumes and props to venues and extras, nothing costs money. We just need to polish the script. As for publicity and distribution, we can leave it to the propaganda department of the war zone. We don't need to worry about it."
"Look back now, is this thing still difficult?"
"It doesn't seem so difficult after all."
Kong Lai chuckled: "So, what about the male actor? Who are you planning to cast?"
He puffed out his chest, his face beaming: "If there's no suitable candidate, I'm willing to volunteer. With over twenty years of special operations experience, I believe no one understands the glory of special operations better than me!"
Lei Kaiwen looked at him with disdain: "Who would want to spend money to see an old man like you in a movie? I have a pretty good candidate."
"Who?"
"Far away, yet so close at hand..."
