Chapter 142: Let’s pay him a visit (2/2)
Using such beautiful alloys to create new Disney themed sculptures would definitely attract more new visitors, and it would also bring a new and refreshing feeling to those who have gotten bored of the originals.
The Disneylands across the world all had different major themes. To create a unique metal sculpture was naturally better than making a bunch. Additionally, making a bunch was also uneconomical.
A total of 70 plus alloy constructions. Apart from the magic tree, the illusionary castle, and the Dawn Treader, which were quite big, the rest were all less than two meters tall.
Ye Qing said that these were simple enough, but the more exquisite they wanted them to be, then the more detailed they needed to be, so the final price would naturally skyrocket.
“We’ve got all the molds and 3D drawings you might need, and their precisions are definitely no problem, so there’s probably not much you need to change.” Neville let loose a smile that was just like the Queen having seen Snow White eat the poisoned apple.
Ye Qing put down his cup of juice in a ‘it doesn’t really matter’ attitude: “Then we can calculate the price based off of their sizes. I guarantee you that the results while be as precise as the drawings you have, however, if you want the realistic feel of the alloy trees, then that’s basically next to impossible. Though this doesn’t really matter as kids only recognizes cartoon faces.”
“But…… if it’s with your drawings, then where would the details of the hair and dresses of the animated figures come from?”
“Details, damn details!” Neville’s smile immediately froze. Although cartoon faces were fine, since no child will recognize detailed faces, all the details came down to the hair and cloth.
The Disney princesses had experienced decades of motion pictures, so with new advances in motion pictures technology, Disney had produced more and more classic animations, and the princesses inside were always getting more and more beautiful.
Just think about all those Disney princesses’ dresses, they weren’t dresses at all alright! Those were clearly wedding gowns!
Then think about all the hairstyles of those princesses. What hairstyles were those? They were clearly internationally acclaimed classics. If those details were gone, what was different between the alloy and those regular metal constructs?
The faces of Barbie dolls were also just this. Who actually looked at the face? The kids who play with them are all there to change her dresses and comb her into many hair styles.
“Then…… can those details be added?” Neville was still unconvinced: “For example, Cinderella’s dress……”
“Of course it can. No matter if it’s Rapunzel’s super long hair, or if it’s Cinderella’s evening dress and crystal shoes.” Ye Qing snapped: “Of course, the more details there are, the more expensive it will be.”
Neville changed his juice to liquor and began to drink by himself with mixed feelings.
It seems like no matter how he tried, he was still gonna get ripped off at least once.
At least the good thing about the cloth and hair styles was that they were quite common to see in everyday life. Unlike the dragon, the molds for the dresses and hair were actually quite easy to make as long as the necessary technologies were acquired and slight changes were made.
70 plus metal constructs, which Ye Qing gave the same price for each; 5 million.
Totaling up to 375 million, which just happened to be the biggest deal Ye Qing had ever made in his life. So, being a good business man, Ye Qing wiped off some and only asked for 350 million.
“As for the contract, I only have two requests. One, is to keep this a secret, and two, without our authorization, you cannot produce anything else that is Disney related.”
Ye Qing straight up clanged glass with him, meaning that this was completely no problem.
………………………………
7:30, in a nearby banquet hall, an alluring young lady with a small diamond head piece, tapped away on her crystal wine cup as she whispered to Director Xia beside her.
Huang Ranxia was saying how, before the banquet started, she seemed to have seen Disney’s vice president of Asia, Mister Neville.
Additionally, Mister Neville seemed to be with a bunch of other multinational chair persons following in the wake of a young man. Moreover, this young man was familiar with Li Huaxing and his secretary, Zhang Mei, from which she heard how this young man was so incredible.
As for exactly how incredible he was, Huang Ranxia actually had no clue, but she did say that even Chairman Li would have to receive that young man with politeness.
Take this banquet for example. This time Li Huaxing was the one being invited, but he only sent his secretary over. However, if it was that young man inviting, then Li Huaxing was guaranteed to accept quicker than his secretary.
“Li Huaxing’s secretary is going to go over for a toast later, we should follow her when she goes to have her help give us a referral,” whispered Huang Ranxia.
“My gosh ~ Aren’t you exaggerating too much here?” Xu Ninggong was wearing a creamy white evening dress with a pick belt and looked just as beautiful as Disney’s Princess Alice: “By chance, I also know Mister Neville. Since he’s going stay in the same hotel as me, I naturally need to greet him.”
“I also want to meet that young man.”
“So, how should I address him?”
“President Ye, at least what Zhang Mei called him.”
It just so happened that, at that moment, the nearby Zhang Mei stood up and winked at Huang Ranxia, indicating to her that she was going next door for toasts.
Xu Ninggong and Huang Ranxia stood up at the same time and excused themselves by saying they had a friend next door that they needed to greet.
