Chapter 46 Giving Money
Surprises should grow from small to big.
Starting with the people who joined later, Lin Yi handed out the corresponding briefcases one by one according to the list, saying, "Open them and take a look."
The sound of zippers being pulled filled the conference room.
The briefcase was opened, revealing several stacks of red banknotes neatly arranged.
After a brief silence, a series of gasps filled the air.
Money in a bank card is just a string of cold numbers.
It is real, yet it has an unparalleled impact.
Some people stared wide-eyed and repeatedly confirmed it.
Some people couldn't resist touching the thick texture with their hands.
Some people couldn't help but grin, their faces beaming with pure, undisguised joy.
The slightly tense atmosphere in the meeting room, which had been due to the division of assets, was instantly relaxed and warmed up by the tangible wealth.
The amounts varied, but this unexpected five-figure reward made everyone truly feel the value and meaning of their labor.
Lin Yi's gaze lingered on the crowd for a moment before he called out two names.
These two joined the crew from the beginning of the project and contributed more, and their briefcases were also much heavier.
The two men took the briefcase and felt its heavy weight, heavier than the sweat they had shed.
Upon opening it, his face instantly turned red, as if the banknotes inside were glowing.
Six figures!
The people around them looked on with envy.
After a brief silence, everyone's eyes turned to the five exceptionally thick briefcases remaining on the table.
Lin Yi looked at the five "tools" sitting in the front row who had been following him from the beginning.
"You five, you've worked hard." Lin Yi pushed the last five briefcases over one by one. "This is what you deserve. Open them and take a look."
The five workers exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and opened their briefcases with slightly trembling fingers.
The red banknotes were neatly stacked inside, piled up so high they almost filled the entire bag.
Seven figures!
Even though they had suspected it beforehand, witnessing this scene firsthand still made those around them gasp in surprise.
Finally, Lin Yi turned his gaze to the seven people who had volunteered for the "Squid Game" project team.
"Because you chose to leave a relatively mature and profitable project to take on the risks and challenges of a new one."
Lin Yi looked at them, his tone becoming more serious.
"The company recognizes your sacrifices and will give you an extra bonus. The finance department will transfer the money to your account later."
The amount is the same as the dividends you received this time. This is compensation for your sacrifices and encouragement for your courage and determination.
The seven young people were stunned, then their faces lit up with uncontrollable joy.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin! We will definitely make the new project a success!"
The screenwriters who chose to stay watched this scene, and the last bit of subtle emotion they had felt about the family split dissipated.
Lin Yi's actions were fair and just.
Be lenient with conservatives, and reward courageous ones.
Inside the conference room, the excited chatter grew louder and louder.
Having real money in your hands is more tangible than any slogan.
After receiving their bonuses, the screenwriters were exceptionally enthusiastic. The office was brightly lit at noon that day, and they even skipped their favorite afternoon nap.
Seeing this, Lin Yi waved his hand and told Fu Mingyang to take them out for a team-building activity and have a good time for a few days.
Paid leave!
Then, Lin Yi stayed with Earth Entertainment to refine the manuscript for the first season of "Ace vs Ace" and the outline, main storyline, and key plot points for the first season of "Squid Game".
The Xia Dynasty was powerful and had a huge influence on the world, especially East Asia.
Many East Asian cultures have been traced back to their origins, including Riichi Mahjong in Japan.
Mahjong was introduced to Japan from China in the early 20th century, and later developed into the distinctive Riichi Mahjong in Japan.
"Legend of the Card Fighter" revolves around the game of Riichi Mahjong. Its story is not complicated and does not require much modification. Lin Yi can do most of the work himself.
In his previous life, he was a mahjong enthusiast and had a deep impression of many of the card games in "Ace vs Ace".
Of the six mini-games in the original first season of "The Squid Game," two originated in China: (Glass Bridge, Tug-of-War).
These are two games that exist worldwide, making it difficult to pinpoint which country they belong to. (123 Red Light, Green Light, Pinball)
Both games originated in South Korea. (The Sugar Pancake Game and the Squid Game)
In the Blue Star version of "Squid Game," Lin Yi plans to replace the sugar-sticking game with a small game from the Japanese region to enhance the sense of immersion for Japanese audiences.
Specific game details will be finalized by the Squid Game project team at that time.
After two days of working like crazy, I finally finished these tasks.
Lin Yi and Yu Nuannuan flew to Suzhou together to prepare for the recording of the semi-finals of "The Voice of Heaven".
The preparations were mainly done by Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu, while Lin Yi was just an audience member and part of the atmosphere team.
……
Beijing.
Li Wei, the publicity director of "Moscow Mission," excitedly went to report to director Fang Qiming with a tablet in hand.
"Director Fang, our 'borrowing the east wind' trick worked so well!" Li Wei pointed to the graph in the report.
"You see, we've successfully channeled the online buzz surrounding Detective X's final choice in Murder on the Orient Express into our movie."
As Director Fang swiped the tablet, he indeed saw quite a few comments that had been drawn in.
"So the backstory of 'Murder on the Orient Express' has a real-life counterpart?"
"After learning about the Sino-Russian train robbery, do you still think X's choice was problematic?"
"There seems to be a movie released during the National Day holiday that's about a major train robbery between China and Russia, I think it's called 'Moscow Mission'."
"Moscow Mission" is a film about the sensational Sino-Russian train robbery in 1993.
The film was completed in just a few months.
Two months ago, the production team discovered that the first case in "Detective X" that became a hit, "Murder on the Orient Express," used the same historical background, and immediately devised a "film-TV synergy" marketing plan.
It's fair to say that the recent resurgence of "Murder on the Orient Express" on social media, due to the old topic of "X's choice," has sparked a lot of discussion about law and vigilante justice.
The publicity team for "Moscow Mission" did a lot of work in promoting it.
Director Fang nodded: "Well done. You caught this wave of popularity, and you've secured a basic box office base."
The box office is stable, but he's still a little worried.
The hype has gone up, and the audience's expectations have been raised to a very high level, which is certainly a good thing.
But if the quality of the film itself doesn't live up to expectations, its reputation will quickly collapse.
Even as a director, he is being criticized for "exploiting historical trauma" and "making money by exploiting patriotism."
What's giving him a headache is that the film currently has a significant weakness.
Theme song.
The music director submitted several demos, all produced by big-name producers. They sounded fine, but Director Fang felt something was off.
It lacks the desolate grandeur of a train traversing the Siberian wilderness, and it lacks the courage and determination of police officers who crossed borders to make arrests back then.
