Chapter 104 [America on the tip of the tongue]

Yang Rui successfully received the gaming bonus and invited his friends to have dinner at a luxurious western restaurant. In addition to Scarlett and his brother, he also invited Van Gundy.

When he was in the Knicks, although Van Gundy often had disagreements with Yang Rui, he also helped him a lot.Go to other teams, the two are still friends.

During the meal, Van Gundy complained. As soon as Yang Rui and Thibodeau left, the Knicks coaching staff had to find someone again, and they might not be able to find a powerful assistant.

In fact, coaches, managers, and players can communicate normally, and it is enough that a group of people hold meetings for the new season.

Therefore, there are many loopholes to be drilled in the lockout, and the managers in the summer have contact information with each other to discuss transactions after the free market opens.Players from each team can also get together to organize training on their own, without the need for an NBA arena.Stars can take this opportunity to recruit players in free agency.

On July 7, Yang Rui and Thomas Bentley went out together, and the investment company chose the location of the Cayman Islands to recover the Agland House on Church Street in Georgetown.

This place is very famous, providing office addresses for more than 1 companies from all over the world. Because of its unique advantages, there are only a few simple taxes such as import tax, stamp duty, business registration tax, and tourist tax.

No personal income tax, corporate income tax, capital gains tax, real estate tax, inheritance tax and other direct taxes have been levied here.Foreign exchange is free to enter and exit in Cayman, and various departments are tight-lipped about investors' financial information.Such convenient conditions help major companies, financial institutions and funds to avoid the US corporate income tax rate of up to 30.00%.

After the procedures were completed, the company was established, named "Blessed Man", and the legal person was Yang Rui, tacky and festive.

Then, Yang Rui did something that confused Thomas and registered a domain name.

"None of us are engaged in the Internet, what are you doing with a domain name?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "You will know when you go back. I have an idea. If it is implemented, someone in Silicon Valley will be hired to do it. You will need to work hard and watch it. It will be very promising."

Back in New York, Yang Rui began to write a plan to enter the IT industry.

He likes to be a coach, wants to win a championship in the NBA, and plans to leave his off-court career to Thomas.Thomas' goal is to start a company, build a giant, and become a tycoon.

Yang Rui has no shortage of inspiration, which is a shortcut to success.

The labor-management negotiation did not go on, the players went on strike, the boss refused to give in, and there was no change from Yang Rui's previous life.

What he does not participate in is the same as in the previous life.

Sang Lan was accidentally injured at the New York Friendship Games; the CIH computer virus began to hit the United States; the US stock market began to adjust sharply...

Scarlett Johansson, like her previous life, had nothing to do after filming "Horse Whisperer", and complained when eating with Yang Rui. "There are no characters like "Horse Whisperer". I wasted my time in summer vacation. It would be nice to have TV drama characters."

"Will your mother let you do TV dramas? Will that affect your development?" Yang Rui asked.

"Please, there are too many American actors, and the competition for TV roles is very fierce. How can a young actor like me be qualified to choose a role? It's good to have a film." Scarlett said depressedly.

Before starring in "Lost in Translation", Scarlett was indeed not well-known. In addition to "Horse Whisperer", the most drama was the comedy horror film "The Octagon".

Yang Rui can't think of any movies suitable for Scarlett during this period, but he still knows a lot of popular programs in the future.Seeing Scarlett sighing, he couldn't help but wanted to help.

If the exposure is increased, it should be good for her now, right?
Yang Rui asked with a smile: "Apart from movies and TV series, can you shoot anything else? For example, reality shows?"

"What is a reality show?" Scarlett blinked.

"Have you watched "The Truman World" released in June? That's a reality show."

Scarlett froze for a moment. "Isn't that a movie? Could I still make that?"

"Why not? I don't know what to do recently. Would you like to shoot a reality show with me?" Yang Rui suggested.

"The protagonist of "The Truman World" doesn't know that he is acting. How can we film it? There must be a lot of extras." Scarlett is only 14 years old and has limited imagination.

"Not like Jim Carrey..."

At present, American reality shows are not taken seriously, and the first popular reality show "Survivor" has not yet been launched.

In 2000, "Survivor" premiered in the United States with great success.Since then, American reality shows have been widely accepted by the public, and various reality shows have sprung up.

At the turn of the winter and spring of 2001, the second season of Survivor was launched, and the ratings went further. Although the ratings of Survivor dropped slightly in the following seasons, it always maintained a large number of loyal viewers.When Yang Rui crossed over, "Survivor" had filmed No.30 for five seasons.

Of course, Yang Rui wouldn't choose to make a show like "Survival in the Wilderness" to torment Scarlett, he couldn't bear that kind of hardship himself.

What he thought of was a reality show of eating, drinking and playing, which best suited the characters of the two. They were both foodies, and they became friends because of eating.

Future food shows are super popular in the United States. Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef, Diners, Drives and Dives and more.

Especially "Diner" is a program in which the host travels everywhere and goes to restaurants to introduce special food. The task of the actors is to chat while eating. As long as the food is delicious, it will arouse the audience's appetite, and then add some talk show elements.

As soon as Yang Rui explained the general idea, Scarlett was immediately very interested, her eyes lit up, and she looked like a fan girl.

"You actually came up with such a good show? You can eat delicious food from all over the world, and you can also appear on the camera. If the show has a high rating, you can make money. Is there a better job than this?"

"If you're not afraid of getting fat, go back and tell your parents, and if they agree, I'll invest in filming. I just made money, and the vacation is long, so this filming is like a vacation."

"Okay, I'll say it when I go back today."

"But I have to prepare for a while and make a plan. To be honest, I don't know much about things in the circle, so I have to explore." Yang Rui smiled.

"If my mother thinks it's good, you don't need to prepare, just ask my grandfather. He is the director and knows a lot of people from the TV station." Scarlett said excitedly.

"What? Your grandfather is actually a director?" Yang Rui didn't ask Scarlett's grandfather and grandma's generation what jobs they did, and he didn't remember them in previous lives.

This is considered cold news, unless a die-hard Scarlett fan, or will not know.

Scarlett's grandfather, Einar Johansson, is a director and screenwriter. She has a lot of connections in Hollywood. She went so smoothly when she debuted, and she didn't break out completely by her ability.No matter which country, it is inseparable from the relationship if you want to get ahead in the entertainment industry.

Scarlett asked, "What are you going to call this show?"

Yang Rui has no pressure to plagiarize the ideas of later generations, and he opens his mouth: "A Bite of America".
