Schaefer made a good point.
Chen Yiyang thought that if they showed this promotional video to Saudi Arabia, they might think Schaefer and Chen Yiyang were dismissively dealing with them, deceiving them.
Damn it.
Chen Yiyang didn't expect the Koreans to ss things up and require them to clean up.
"It's not easy making money like this." Schaefer thought for a mont and said, "Why don't we help South Korea shoot a promotional video ourselves?
This kind of promotional video is easy to shoot: pick a big city, use plenty of aerial shots, and focus on showcasing technology and urban developnt."
Chen Yiyang thought Schaefer's idea was pretty good.
"Contact a team in South Korea, and shoot so footage in Seoul and Busan."
"It's tough to shoot in South Korea." Schaefer said, "The market in South Korea is just that big. If we find a South Korean team to shoot the video on our end,
it's likely that people from the exhibition bureau will find out, and then they'll ask us to explain what we're doing shooting a video."
"What should we do then?"
"Let think." Schaefer opened his computer, brainstorming while searching online.
Soon, he ca up with a solution.
"Help find a Huaxia team to shoot a video in Shancheng. Then, we can use AI to replace the signage to pretend it's Seoul."
"You must be joking." Chen Yiyang was dumbfounded — how could Shancheng pretend to be Seoul?
While Seoul is an international tropolis, Shancheng's unique cyberpunk style is rare globally.
"Even Koreans themselves use Shancheng as a stand-in for Seoul." Schaefer showed Chen Yiyang a picture with so confusion.
Chen Yiyang looked down and indeed saw a shot from a Korean drama where a character was shown with a city scene behind them, labeled as Seoul's aerial view.
Having lived in Shancheng for a long ti, Chen Yiyang instantly recognized it as an aerial shot of Shancheng.
Not to ntion, even the river clearly wasn't Seoul's Han River. Seoul's Han River isn't as impressive.
The Korean drama used Shancheng as Seoul, with an extra mountain photoshopped in.
"Well." Chen Yiyang was lost for words. "Then let's find a team to shoot a promotional video in Shancheng."
It's tough to find a team in Korea, but isn't it easy to find an aerial shooting team dostically?
Chen Yiyang helped Schaefer find a team specializing in city promotional videos and paid a rush fee to have them urgently shoot a video. Schaefer then stored the promotional video on a USB drive and flew to Saudi Arabia to personally deliver it to Kasim.
Originally, Chen Yiyang thought the matter was settled.
A few days later, Schaefer called him again. "Kasim watched our version of the promotional video where Shancheng was disguised as Seoul.
They thought it was shot really well, and their Saudi team couldn't match the quality, so they hope you can find a team to fly to Saudi Arabia to shoot."
"Let's stick with the sa team then."
Chen Yiyang was too lazy to help Schaefer find a new team.
So he called over the responsible person from the team he found previously.
"Mr. Chen." Upon eting Chen Yiyang, the leader of the Dream Factory Video team, Yao ng, still felt dazed.
His team recently accepted a rush job to shoot a promotional video about future technology and developnt for Shancheng.
Originally, they thought it was a project commissioned by the Shancheng governnt to promote their own city.
Later, they realized it was arranged by a pretty famous young tycoon online, Chen Yiyang.
After shooting the video, they didn't pay much attention.
Yet now, Chen Yiyang had personally called them over for a eting.
Yao ng was quite nervous inside, worried that the video they shot earlier wasn't good enough.
"Oh, you're here, co in and sit."
Chen Yiyang gestured for Yao ng to sit down first.
This kind of small matter really shouldn't warrant his involvent.
But considering the confidentiality needs with South Korea, Chen Yiyang felt delegating to soone else was adding an extra risk.
Might as well handle it directly and communicate with Yao ng himself.
"Take a look at this video first."
Chen Yiyang handed a tablet to Yao ng to watch the video.
Yao ng picked up the tablet and watched carefully.
He quickly recognized it as the promotional video of Shancheng he previously shot.
However, it appeared to have been edited by AI, and the parts originally in Chinese characters were changed to Korean.
"Here's the deal." Chen Yiyang said to Yao ng, "Busan in South Korea and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia are competing for the next World Expo host city.
Your video was actually used as Busan's bid video to show the Saudis."
"Huh?" Hearing Chen Yiyang's words, Yao ng was dumbfounded.
Though Chen Yiyang spoke in Chinese characters, sohow he couldn't understand what these words ant together.
What did he an by their Shancheng promotional video being shown to the Saudis as Busan's promotional video?
"It's enough for you to know about this situation." Chen Yiyang didn't give Yao ng further explanation.
"Saudi Arabia saw your promotional video and thought it was shot very well, so they want to invite your team to shoot a Riyadh promotional video for their World Expo bid."
"Wow, are we still shooting in Shancheng?" Yao ng's mind was completely frozen.
"Uh, Riyadh is a desert city, very different from Shancheng." Chen Yiyang didn't expect Yao ng's thought process to be so odd.
He continued, "You need to go shoot in Riyadh. But the good news is, the Saudis are quite generous, willing to pay three tis the market rate, and they'll cover your hotel and als."
Yao ng's attention was imdiately captivated by the offer of three tis the market rate.
In their line of work, there aren't many opportunities throughout a year.
Sotis, they don't get any contracts for months, and then one deal can carry them for a few months.
Now that there's an offer of three tis the price, there won't be inco worries for the whole year.
"We're doing it." Yao ng agreed imdiately.
"Great, that's settled. I'll provide you with the contact details in Saudi Arabia later. By the way, when you get to Saudi Arabia, rember when communicating with the Saudis, don't tell them the Korean video was also shot by your team."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure of that." Yao ng quickly nodded and agreed.
Even though he wasn't clear on what strange situation was behind all this,
the offer of three tis the market price overpowers everything.
Yao ng assured his lips would remain tightly sealed without saying anything unnecessary.
After sending Yao ng away,
Chen Yiyang sat in his office looking at the computer in front of him, thinking it had been a while since he played any gas.
Might as well let Steam see if any new gas had co out recently.
He logged into his account and imdiately noticed a bunch of new ssages waiting for him.
