Chapter 323 Journey to defend the country
Hearing Gongsun Huai's request, Mu Bai smiled and said, "This is a good thing! I remember that the relationship between Wei and Zhou is not bad, right?"

Gongsun Huai nodded: "Yes, it belongs to the country that has established diplomatic relations."

There is an unwritten rule in the cultural market between countries. If there is no diplomatic relationship between countries, if a country wants to import cultural products from another country, it must first go through the approval of the foreign department.

For example, Zheng and Song were besieged by Jin and Chu. There was no diplomatic relations between Zheng and Jin. So if Zheng wanted to import cultural products from Jin, it had to go through the Ministry of Rites of Jin and get approval before it could contact the culture. Products related companies.

If diplomatic relations are established, just like Wei and Zhou, then if Wei wants to import cultural products, he can simply file a record in Zhou. The two companies will discuss the specific situation, and the government will generally not intervene.

The third situation is the relationship between enemy countries, such as Jin and Qi. Both sides prohibit the import and export of each other's cultural products.

Although Zhou State and Jin State did not deal with each other, the two sides only entered a short-term enemy state when they were engaged in a civil war. Once the civil war was over, the enemy state was cancelled.

From this, it can be seen that the Qi State is isolated, and the Shandong states have always been enemies with Qi State.

"That's easy," Mu Bai said with a smile, "I'll help you with the filing."

There is no need not to earn money delivered to your doorstep.

As for filing, Gongsun Huai would easily encounter difficulties if he came forward, but if Mu Bai asked Xiao Minghui to come forward, filing would be a very simple matter.

The two chatted a few more details about the movie, and Mu Bai asked Zheng Huan to take Gongsun Huai to the resort for some fun.

And make an appointment with Gongsun Huai to show him the studio on the fifth day of the fifth day, and go back to Weiguo with him on the sixth day.

After seeing off Gongsun Huai, Mu Bai took a rest and drove to the western suburbs alone.

The wasteland Mu Bai visited last time was already bustling with activity. In the two factories that had built bed rooms, many simple foam board houses were built.

Most of these foam board houses are where decoration workers live, and some are temporary offices for new companies.

Ma Jingping's office is in one of the board rooms, and he is staring at it almost every day now.

"The places that should be refitted are almost done." Ma Jingping took Mu Bai to visit the factory, and reported:

"It is estimated that the production line of Jin State will be delivered the day after tomorrow. After modification, parts processing, etc., several prototypes should be produced in November."

For this speed, Mu Bai is still very satisfied.

These two factories were originally designed to install large-scale production lines, so there are not many places that need to be renovated. Now they have entered the final stage, and most of the decoration workers' energy has been put into renovating the office building.

On one side of the two factory buildings, there is a two-story office building, which is convenient and does not need to rush to build a new one.

After Mu Bai learned about the progress of the new company's construction, Ma Jingping asked Mu Bai for money. It costs money to buy parts, build staff dormitories, and start construction of the new factory building.

But now the new company has only a few hundred thousand in its account, which is not enough for anything.

I went to Yang Wenjun to ask for money, but was told that the studio’s funds had been emptied, and there was no way to inject capital into the new company in the short term.

Mu Bai is a bit big headed, investing in the industry is really costly!Tens of millions have entered, but the benefits are still far away.

However, Mu Bai was already prepared, so he called Gu Changxing and demanded the 1000 million "appearance fee".

Gu Changxing also planned to pay after Mu Bai went to Weiguo, but Mu Bai threatened Gu Changxing not to go to Weiguo, forcing Gu Changxing to send money quickly.

Mu Bai injected another 1000 million from his personal account, and raised 2000 million for Ma Jingping, which is enough for the new company to operate for a period of time.

Mu Bai did a simple calculation, he still has nearly 2000 million in his personal account, and the October song income is also quite a lot, but it will take two days to get it, and the premise is that Gu Changxing does not play tricks.

According to the current speed of spending money, this amount of money is still a drop in the bucket.

He sighed in his heart, perhaps he would have to wait for the proceeds from the movie to arrive before he could completely solve the funding problem of the new company.

Staying in the new company until the evening, Mu Bai called home and drove home.

It just so happened that the second episode of "Sunshine Boy's Sunshine House" started to air tonight. Mu Bai was eating at home while watching the show with his mother and sister.

In this episode, Miao Xiaole invited Huo Pingwan to be a guest. The main content was picking hawthorns. Mu Bai also boiled hawthorn rock sugar water for everyone to drink.

The old girl was very happy watching it, and giggled from time to time.

Mu Bai didn't think it was interesting. He always felt that his reaction at that time was not fast enough, exciting enough, or humorous enough.

After watching the show for a while, the old girl suddenly asked: "Brother, it is said on the Internet that you are chasing Huo Pingwan, is it true or not?"

"Haven't you seen what your sister-in-law looks like?" Mu Bai said angrily.

The old girl smiled and said: "I'm not afraid that brother, you are famous now, you have become swollen, and you have forgotten your sister-in-law! Besides, look at the way Huo Pingwan looks at you, there is something wrong at first sight!"

"What's the problem?" Mu Bai looked at the TV carefully. Why didn't he see that there was something wrong?

The older sister, Mulan, folded her arms and pretended to be a psychologist: "This is the way girls admire boys."

"Pull me down," Mu Bai said with a smile, "Didn't you say that I was chasing Huo Pingwan just now? How come Huo Pingwan admires me now?"

Mulan said: "This means that she is also interested in you! Otherwise, why would everyone say that you two are having an affair?"

Mom interrupted: "How to talk!" Then she said to Mu Bai: "But you have to explain to Yuan Jie, so as not to be misunderstood."

Mu Bai nodded: "Okay."

He didn't take it seriously either. He had vaccinated Ji Yuanjie before. He is a celebrity now, and he is a genius in the eyes of many people. There will always be some scandals about him.

Nothing happened these two days, so Mu Bai planned to rest at home for two days, and returned to Weicheng Mansion with Gongsun Huai on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

The next day, Mu Bai was woken up by a phone call. It was Zheng Huan who said he had sent Mu Bai a video on the Internet and told him to watch the video before talking.

Mu Bai opened the link from Zheng Huan and saw that it was an interview video about Huo Pingwan this morning.

The reporter talked about the second episode of "Sunshine Room" that was just broadcast last night and asked Huo Pingwan what his impression of Mu Bai was.

Huo Pingwan said that Mu Bai is very talented, etc., and praised Mu Bai for a long time.

The reporter asked Mu Baifu if she met the criteria for choosing a spouse in her heart.

Huo Pingwan smiled and said: "It's still suitable. After all, if someone as outstanding as Mu Bai is not suitable, there will be no suitable man in the world."

This answer caused an uproar, and the reporters became excited at the time and began to ask questions about this topic.

Mu Bai frowned, how could Huo Pingwan make such a low-level mistake?There was a trap in that reporter’s question!

Thinking of this, Mu Bai called Zheng Huan back: "What do netizens and the media think of this matter?"

"It's all blown up!" Zheng Huan said with a smile: "Since Huo Pingwan's debut, there has been no scandal, and someone pursued her beyond her capacity, but she rejected it cleanly.

"She can have such an evaluation of Director Mu, obviously she has a crush on Director Mu!"

Mu Bai smiled: "Then I have to thank her."

Zheng Huan asked: "Do you want to organize a live broadcast or a press conference to clarify?"

Mu Bai pondered for a while, if he clarified, there would be no room for manoeuvre, after all, it cannot be ruled out that it was Huo Pingwan's mistake.

If you hurriedly clarify that you have nothing to do with Huo Pingwan, it will only make everyone have more reverie.

And if Huo Pingwan later claimed that the reporter overinterpreted her meaning, then Mu Bai's act of clarification would be more like a clown's performance.

Now is the critical period of the new company, the success or failure will directly affect Mu Bai's entire future plan, he warned himself to be careful when dealing with everything.

After hanging up Zheng Huan's phone, Mu Bai thought about it and called Miao Xiaole.

As soon as the call was connected, Miao Xiaole smiled and said, "Congratulations, little brother Mu. When I was recording the program before, I found that Senior Sister Huo looked at you in the wrong way. I didn't expect it..."

Mu Bai interrupted her: "Miss Xiao Le, I called you just for this matter. I already have a girlfriend, and our relationship is very good."

There was a few seconds of depressing silence on the phone. After four or five seconds, Miao Xiaole said, "I understand, I will tell Senior Sister Huo."

She let out a long sigh: "It's a pity."

Mu Bai smiled and said, "There's no pity. With Huo Pingwan's conditions, we will find a better home."

After hanging up the phone, Miao Xiaole murmured, "I used to be called 'Sister Ping Wan', but now I just call her name. The man is really cruel!"

She held the phone and hesitated for a while before calling Huo Pingwan.

Mu Bai called Zheng Huan again, asking him to continue to pay attention to the matter, and then called Ji Yuanjie to tell her how he handled the matter.

There was only news on the Internet before, so he didn't need to explain, but after Huo Pingwan's interview, he felt that it was necessary for him to explain.

After all, it wasn't a big deal, and it just passed by, and Mu Bai and Ji Yuanjie didn't take it to heart.

It was Mu Lan who was always asking around, which made Mu Bai very upset. After staying at home for a day, he went back to Weicheng mansion first in annoyance.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Gongsun Huai came to Weicheng Mansion as scheduled, and Mu Bai personally took him to visit the Guofeng Studio.

The murals and personnel status in the studio made Gongsun Huai more confident in Mu Bai's strength.

The next day, Mu Bai went to Weiguo with the people from the Ministry of Rites. Gongsun Huai is a celebrity in Weiguo, so he can take the same plane with Mu Bai and other members of the mission.

The head of Zhou's delegation was a foreign minister from the Ministry of Rites. On the plane, he specially invited Mu Bai to come over and have a chat with him.

The foreign minister asked Mu Bai: "What kind of trade relationship does your company have with Zheng Guo?"

"No?" Mu Bai replied affirmatively: "Guofeng's two branches are both in Qin and Jin."

The Foreign Minister nodded: "Is that strange?"

Mu Bai asked smoothly: "What's wrong?"

"Zheng Guo wants to introduce your movie "My Neighbor Totoro." The Foreign Minister smiled.

This is indeed a strange thing, because this is Mu Bai's first work, and Mu Bai himself is not a major in the acting department of any university. The star lineup in "My Neighbor Totoro" can only be said to be normal, and it is reasonable to say that it will not It is right to become the import target of other countries.

"That's really great," Mu Bai said with a smile as if he didn't hear the foreign minister's implication, "Why don't you make money from the money delivered to your door?"

The foreign minister let out an "oh" and did not continue the topic.

During this trip to Weiguo, apart from participating in various diplomatic activities, Mu Bai also had to accept interviews from the Weiguo media, meet with representatives of the spontaneously formed local fan club, and so on.

Mu Bai told them that after the establishment of the sub-station of Guofeng.com, they can log in to the fan zone.

The establishment of Weiguo's branch company is the one with the least resistance among several branches. During the three days of Mu Bai's visit to Weiguo, most of the preliminary work has basically been completed.

Of course, this is inseparable from the strong support of the Gongsun family. It was only when he came to Weiguo that Mu Bai knew the influence of the Gongsun family.

The royal family and state government of Wei State have always been either close to Chu or Jin, which made the people very disappointed with them.

The aggressive Gongsun family has become the new hope of the Chinese people.

On the eighth day of November, the visit of the Zhou State Mission to Wei State ended, and everyone set off on their return journey.

Gu Boying, who was sitting next to Mu Bai, smiled and said, "We all came here to serve as the background wall for the interview, and Director Mu is the best, so he established a branch company without any hassle."

Mu Bai said with a smile: "I didn't delay the work of the mission, er, to be precise, I didn't have much work."

Usually it was Gu Boying who sang "The Internationale" in front of the stage, while Mu Bai was mostly interviewed and showed his face in public, usually he didn't have much to do.

Gu Boying sighed suddenly: "Prepare me some new songs, I will use them in December."

Mu Bai was taken aback: "Why do you want to use a new song all of a sudden?"

"Didn't you pay attention to the 'New List'? The other party didn't stop in November, and continued to release many high-quality new songs on the 'New List'."

In public, Gu Boying did not mention Honglang or Ming Guoshi, but just used "the other party" instead.

She was a little annoyed: "My two new songs did not perform well, it is impossible to enter the top three of the 'new list'."

Just one month away from being in the top three of the "new list", she will be able to complete her career of "topping the list". November is abolished, and she can only fight hard in the twelfth lunar month.

Mu Bai thought for a moment: "Will your father agree to your cooperation with me?"

"He's getting old!" Gu Boying said indifferently: "I'm used to living a peaceful life, and I don't dare to fight at all. I don't count on him anymore."

She pinched her temples and said: "I will quit Shesheng directly and set up my own studio. When the time comes, I can cooperate with whoever I want to cooperate with."

"This is also a way." Mu Bai didn't stop him, and he was naturally happy to interfere with Ming Honglang in the "New List".

And this highly coincides with Gu Boying's goal, the most important thing is that Gu Boying's "topping the list" is also a victory for Mu Bai.

After all, it was with the strength of two people that they resisted Ming Honglang's entire team.
