Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 149 Dogs look down on people

The next morning, after getting up, Zhou Ziheng first took his people to visit Ernst's American Universal Music Company.

This Universal Music Company was not the Universal Records that later occupied 25% of the global music market share.

In fact, Universal Music is currently still called MCA. It was not until 1996 when MCA's film department was renamed Universal Pictures and its music department was renamed Universal Music Group that Universal Music officially appeared.

The full name of the Universal Music that Zhou Ziheng is going to visit today is EMi Universal Music Company.

It is a music company established by EMi in the United States and can be regarded as the American branch of EMi.

After all, it is a cross-border shoot, and it would be very troublesome to bring the filming equipment from China, so Zhou Ziheng discussed with EMi and would rent their filming equipment from Universal Music.

"Ernst, are they the ones who came to pick up the equipment today? Why are they Asian?"

EMi American Universal Music Company, when Zhou Ziheng and others followed Ernst to the company, a middle-aged foreigner was already waiting there.

According to Ernst, this man's name is Danyal Davidson, and he is in charge of the musical instruments of EMi, the American Universal Music Company.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the first time I saw this guy, Zhou Ziheng felt that he exuded a sense of superiority.

And this is indeed the case. After entering their music instrument library, this man immediately explained to Zhou Ziheng and others what it means to look down on others.

After all, it is a big company, and the equipment room is filled with all kinds of new musical instruments.

There are speakers, processors, and quite a few shooting equipment, all of which are new models.

Huang Wei often deals with filming equipment. After seeing these new filming equipment, he couldn't help but walk up and pick up a Sony camera.

"This is a good thing! There are only a few of them in China right now."

However, before he could appreciate it carefully, a roar came from the other side.

"Damn it, that's the latest Sony camera, don't touch it."

Huang Wei's face turned pale and blue due to the scolding.

Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but frown, "Mr. Danyal, just take a look, you don't have to do this."

"Just look at it, don't touch it. Do you know how much money the company will lose if you break it?"

Danyal did not give Zhou Ziheng face just because he spoke.

He said sarcastically, "This camera costs 130,000 US dollars. Can you afford it?"

Zhou Ziheng laughed. He really didn't understand where this guy got his sense of superiority from.

One hundred and thirty thousand US dollars, how much?

Yes, it is indeed a lot, almost one million RMB.

But for Zhou Ziheng, one million is not a particularly scary number.

He ignored Danyal and looked at Ernst. "I want this camera. Keep a record. Whether you buy it or rent it, I will hand it over to Fefield later."

Firfield's full name is Jim Firfield, and he is the head of EMi in the United States.

At the same time, this person is also Nie Anda's friend.

Nie Anda told Zhou Ziheng that he would be responsible for the release of Zhou Ziheng's future records in the United States.

"One more thing!" Zhou Ziheng looked at Danyal, "Are all EMi's employees in the United States of this level? I think I should have a good talk with your senior management."

"Let's get started. Just grab all the equipment you need for filming. Are you afraid to move just because a dog barks a few times?"

Zhou Ziheng scolded in Chinese.

Upon hearing this, Huang Wei and others immediately took action and picked out a batch of the most advanced filming equipment from the equipment room.

"Take that music processor with you. I haven't used such a high-end processor before, so I won't order it from the manufacturer. I can just get it from here and take it with me when I go back."

Zhou Ziheng had no intention of returning these equipment.

It’s not that he wants to hack these equipment.

Instead, he planned to buy it directly with money.

Hengdong Records now produces records on loan from Pacific and China Records.

It's not a good idea to always rent from others. Fortunately, the equipment here is the most advanced equipment, he can take it directly and buy it from EMi at the original price later.

The same goes for filming equipment.

He plans to set up a film and television company next year, and by then he will need filming equipment, which he can get done in one go.

However, Universal Music is a record company after all, and its equipment is not very complete.

When Zhou Ziheng planned to leave, he would buy all the things the film and television company needed at once in the United States.

“Fuck! You guys…”

"Danyal, shut up!"

When Danyal saw that Zhou Ziheng's men directly took a bunch of the most advanced equipment, he immediately started cursing excitedly.

This time, before he could finish, Ernst interrupted him with an angry look on his face.

"Zhou is the face of EMi Asia. He has brought EMi tens of millions of dollars in revenue this year alone. You damn fool, put away your arrogant face.

Sooner or later you will die from your arrogance."

"Zhou, please don't blame Danyal. He has stayed in this warehouse for too long. He..." Ernst looked at Zhou Ziheng and pleaded with him.

He could see that Zhou Ziheng was angry at Danyal's rudeness and arrogance just now.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who cares about every little thing." Zhou Ziheng said with a smile.

Do not care.

It would be strange if you didn't care.

This bastard looks down on people.

He would call Fefield as soon as he left the house.

A warehouse manager really thinks he is the president.

Perhaps Ernst's scolding worked, Danyal didn't say anything afterwards, but just watched Zhou Ziheng and others load the equipment into the car quietly.

"This damn foreigner is really looking down on others."

After getting in the car, Huang Wei started swearing.

This guy didn't say a word just now, he got in the car and started showing off.

"If I hadn't thought about not causing trouble for you, the boss, I would have almost punched him just now."

Zhou Ziheng was too lazy to respond to him, but took out his phone and called Fefield.

First, tell the other party what equipment you have taken and ask them to send you a bill.

Then he told the other party about Danyal.

"Mr. Fefield, I think you should give me an explanation about this matter.

I remember when I came to the United States, Anda Nie told me that EMi is a big family and all branches around the world are one.

I had high hopes for this and felt that I could make a difference in America.

But what happened today really made me feel uncomfortable.

I've only been here for one day and I've already encountered people who discriminated against me.

Is it true that the claim that all EMi branches are one is a complete joke? "

"Zhou, I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Please rest assured, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

After a pause, Fefield on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter.

But I would like to ask you not to publicize this matter, especially in Asia."

"It's not up to me, it's up to you."
