The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 68 New Video Ideas

Yue Wenxuan ordered the twenty blacksmiths, "Go to Wangjiazhuang Fort to forge iron. Do not make cold weapons. All your work is to forge firearms. While you're forging firearms, you'll also be training apprentices. Do you understand?"

Twenty blacksmiths responded at the same time: "Yes, sir."

Yue Wenxuan: "Go!"

Twenty people set out simultaneously, and even their walking movements are exactly the same, because they are produced on the production line and their personalities are exactly the same.

They also sang at the same time: "I forge iron early in the morning, I forge iron late in the evening, I forge a pair of scissors for my sister..."

Yue Wenxuan turned around and said to Tie Zhuoqun, "These blacksmiths were all created using magic."

Qian Zhuoqun had just been thinking that these Heavenly Blacksmiths must have been created by the clone technique. Now that he heard the True Lord say it himself, his guess became even more certain. He quickly asked, "What can I do for them?"

Yue Wenxuan: "They are not real people, they are just idiots created by magic, so they are inflexible when working. They need real people to help them coordinate and make arrangements."

Qian Zhuoqun immediately understood: "I understand. I will help them coordinate various tools and materials and arrange apprentices to help them."

"Well, I understand." Yue Wenxuan continued: "They alone are still not enough. To fight against the Jin bandits in the future, we will need tens of thousands of troops. These blacksmiths in the sky are mainly responsible for forging immortal weapons and cannot spare time for other things. You also need to find as many human craftsmen as possible to forge more armor, bows and crossbows and other items."

Qian Zhuoqun paused for a moment and replied, "It's really hard to find craftsmen in the countryside. Even villages like Dongmiaozi, which weren't plundered by the Jin bandits, only have one blacksmith. Several other villages don't have any blacksmiths at all, so they can only find a group of apprentices, who won't be able to be used in the short term. To get a large number of blacksmiths, we still have to go to the county town. So I'll send someone in disguise to go around the county town and use the food you gave us to recruit some blacksmiths from the county town."

Yue Wenxuan nodded and prepared to leave.

Qian Zhuoqun asked anxiously, "True Lord, when can I see Cuju in heaven again?"

Yue Wenxuan smiled and said, "There's no need to rush about Cuju. In a few days, I'll show you a real Cuju match. It won't be played by two people, but a real large-scale match."

Qian Zhuoqun was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Yue Wenxuan returned to the sandbox and began to seriously consider making a series of videos of plastic people playing football. After thinking about it, he felt that it was very feasible and the audience would definitely like it. The only problem was the copyright issue.

He doesn't know much about this either, so give him a call and ask.

"Hey, Mr. Liang, you studied at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, right? Are you an intern at a law firm now?"

The voice of my old high school classmate, Liang Ye, rang out from the other end of the line: "Yeah, why are you asking me this all of a sudden? What's going on? Do you want to consult me ​​about divorce cases? I'm good at this. Or rather, this is the only thing I can do as an intern right now."

Yue Wenxuan: "You idiot! I just graduated from college, I'm not even getting divorced. I want to ask you, if I use action figures of football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi to film a video, is that illegal?"

Liang Ye smiled and said, "If your action figure is pirated, then filming a video and posting it online is clearly illegal. If your action figure is genuine, made by an officially licensed toy company, and filming the video isn't for commercial purposes, then it's not illegal. But if you're filming the video for profit...please tell me, and I'll report you. I might even get a kickback."

Yue Wenxuan frowned. He made the video just to make a profit. Who would make it if it wasn't for profit?
"I want to make a figurine video to promote it. Is there any way to do it without breaking the law?"

Liang Ye: "Of course there are. You should find a company that makes these figures. Remember, it has to be a legal company. The company must have obtained authorization from the Football Association, so they have the right to make 'advertising videos' to promote their products. 'Legal advertisements' from 'legal companies' are completely fine."

Yue Wenxuan smiled and said, "I understand! I owe you a favor. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Liang Ye: "Old classmate, why are you being so polite? Remember to come to me if you have a divorce case. I'm new in the industry and can't get any cases." Yue Wenxuan: "You idiot, why don't you get a case by yourself after getting married and getting divorced?"

Master Liang: "Good idea!"

"Nima!"

After hanging up the phone, Yue Wenxuan had a clue in his mind. It turned out that he needed to find a legal company and use legal tools. Isn't that the solution?

I opened WeChat, found the profile picture of the owner of Qiu Zhi Shen Guang Sculpture Company, and clicked on it: "Hello, boss, how are the sales of blacksmith ornaments lately?"

The boss's message came back immediately: "Thanks to Mr. Yue, the blacksmith ornaments are selling like hotcakes. Oh, we're working overtime like crazy. The only problem is that the popularity of this video series has started to wane, and sales have been declining in recent days."

This is what happens with video series. They are very popular at the beginning, but as they are released one episode a day, the popularity will continue to decline, and naturally the products in the shared carts will sell less and less.

That is why businessmen need to constantly look for new business opportunities.

The boss begged, "Mr. Yue, the survival of my small company depends entirely on you. I wonder what you plan to do after the blacksmith system is established? Please let me know so that I can prepare the stock in advance."

Yue Wenxuan: "Well, I came to see you today because I had a new idea."

As soon as these words came out, the boss's excitement immediately reached its peak: "New idea? What new idea? I will fully cooperate with you!"

Yue Wenxuan: "Does your company make a series of action figures of football stars?"

The boss was overjoyed: "You want to make a football series? Hahaha, that's great! That's really great, woo woo woo, that's really great..."

Yue Wenxuan: "Why are you crying?"

Boss: "I spent a lot of money to get the authorization from the Football Association, but the sales of the figures I made are not good. I am going crazy."

Yue Wenxuan: "What level of authorization do you have?"

The boss said: "The UEFA licensing of teams, players, and peripheral toys (figures) is so expensive, but who knew the figures would not sell well."

Yue Wenxuan now understood: "You have this authorization, so if I make a video of the Champions League figures and use the "Little Yellow Car" to sell your products, there won't be any copyright issues, right?"

"Of course! You're helping our company produce an advertising video for genuine toys. It's a normal commercial marketing practice, legal and reasonable." The boss said, "Please make this video. Ah, I beg you, please make this series of videos."

Yue Wenxuan: "Football's technical movements are very detailed, and making a video is not easy. It's not as easy as being a blacksmith. I have to spend more on special effects production."

Boss: "I understand. How about increasing your commission by an extra 10%?"

"make a deal!"
