Chapter 543 Brother Long took me to make a lot of money
"What four guys, I don't even know what you are talking about. I let you deal with Shuishui, but I didn't let you mess with other people." Master Shui saw This sissy was furious.
"Okay, okay. Just cry slowly here, you damn sissy." Seeing that Lin Fan had lost his use value, Master Shui glared at him and turned around to leave.
"Haha, let me tell you, the mainland film and television industry is very complicated. It is no better than ours in HK. You don't even know the background behind some people." Huang Huangbao patted his thigh and laughed. road.
Ever since he entered mainland film and television, he found that the water here was too deep. Some young people who are inconspicuous and have not even heard of them may have a big backer behind them.
And this kind of backer is not the kind of ordinary businessman.
The film and television industry in Hong Kong is mostly controlled by certain groups and various forces, but there is no official presence in it. The situation in the mainland was completely beyond his expectation.
In the beginning, Huang Jinbao always followed Jackie Chan closely, observing and learning carefully. Although he was not born in the Mainland, his outstanding reputation and influence unexpectedly attracted the attention of many artists who had gone to Hong Kong to develop. .
These HK artists all have a problem, that is, none of the movies shot in the mainland are hits. There are many reasons for this, but it does not prevent them from making money. Huang Huangbao is currently filming in Hong Kong and working as an action director in the Mainland, gradually moving from the front to the back.
Occasionally I go up and act in one or two fighting scenes, which is just a fun experience.
"Let me tell you, when I was filming in the Mainland, I met several young actors. They were all the children of a certain leader's family. They really couldn't be beaten or scolded. If this was done in Hong Kong, I would have slapped them away. It's past..." Jackie Chan complained about the past.
"Giggle." Shuishui covered her mouth, her body shaking with laughter, and picked up a mutton skewer from the table and handed it to Chen Xi.
She is a tepid type in the Mainland, mainly because she doesn’t like to please people. She usually looks like she has frost on her face, which makes her a bit unpleasant. This is somewhat similar to Feifei, so they can play together.
"Oh, what are you talking about? I'm so happy." Shui Ye appeared out of nowhere, sat down next to Huang Jinbao, and raised his hand to give him a roasted beef tongue.
However, Huang Jinbao did not eat it after taking it, but put it on the plate.
"Okay, let's get down to business. The film and television industry I just mentioned doesn't all refer to movies." Huang Huangbao looked at Chen Xi.
"Oh?" Chen Xi didn't quite understand what the other party was referring to.
“As we all know, there are many performance things in China, such as singing and dancing, Peking opera, juggling, etc. These things are done by literary and art clubs, and you know better, so I don’t need to go into details. 1 After the performance, they actually didn't make much money. Each person received only a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan..." Huang Huangbao's Mandarin is really difficult to describe, and when it comes to talking about these complicated things, it's a bit difficult to organize. Language.
"Let me tell you." Suddenly, a tall and thin man patted him on the shoulder.
Chen Xi looked up and saw that this was a well-known director.
"Well, now every place is engaged in the cultural tourism industry. The local area will call on capable directors to take on these projects, and the conditions offered are very generous. There are also some entrepreneurs who, in order to respond to the call, spend their own money to develop performances. You may not imagine how much money the other party will pay for this performance." The director smiled and took a sip of wine.
“How many millions?”
Lu Tengyang on the side asked curiously.
"Ten million?" Seeing that the director didn't speak, he continued to guess.
In his impression, hundreds of thousands of dollars for a broken cabaret show was too much for him.
"Several hundred million!" the director made a gesture.
“Damn it, you’re bragging.” Lu Tengyang exclaimed.
“Haha, the first time I heard it, I thought he was bragging.” Huang Huangbao smiled and patted his belly.
"Ahem, you may think this number is a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed the case, that is, there are subsidies..." As the director spoke, he began to explain using facial expressions. There are some things that cannot be explained in words. too much.
Chen Xi nodded. He was not unfamiliar with this thing. Dongdong and Abao had done business in this area at home. But A Bao's family belongs to the literary and art club, and Dongdong is the one who gets the lion's share of projects.
For a project with a small target, they would probably get a few dozen percent, but in a literary and art club, they would probably get a few percent. This number is actually a reference, because the situation in each place is different, and the themes are also different.
This theme will change with policy adjustments, and is usually related to local characteristics. For example, in a certain region, there should be a theme of promoting patriotic education. Another example is Wuyishan in Fujian Province, where there is a performance to impress Dahongpao.
No matter what the theme is, as long as you do it well and satisfy the boss, you can still make money.
Chen Xi knows a boss who spends hundreds of millions to perform for the local area. Others may think he has lost his mind after hearing this.
However, the reason why rich people can make money is because their operations are not understandable to fools.
"Well, what can I do?" Chen Xi was very puzzled as to why these people insisted on including him.
For all the big names here, they can do it based on their own connections, and in this way they can save a share of their money.
“Well, I heard others talk about your family. Although you are overseas, your relationship and family industry are still in China. Your background and media company can all be used for We provide a lot of help." JackieChan suddenly spoke. Apart from Shuishui, he was the first to know Chen Xi.
"Ah? What background do I have?" Chen Xi looked confused.
"Ahem, young people just need to be humble. It's boring to pretend all the time." Jackie Chan coughed lightly and patted him on the back.
ah?
What am I pretending to be?
Chen Xi looked at Shuishui next to him in confusion. The other party also shook his head slightly, and seemed to say again: "You can really pretend."
"Okay, in short, the movie The industry currently faces many challenges , the situation is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. However, we still have to make movies, not to follow the crowd, but to stick to our hearts. We are old people who prefer the strong ones and disdain to rely on the so-called "little fresh meat" and traffic. Celebrity, this also leads to our work The product may not be satisfactory at the box office. But how can artistic creation be judged only by box office?
Financing is always an unavoidable problem in film and television production. Nowadays, investors are becoming more and more cautious, and we have to be self-reliant. , to raise what is needed. The cultural tourism industry is like a clear stream. It can not only promote China's splendid culture, but also allow craftsmen carrying history and skills to find the soil for survival and development in modern society, preventing the millennium inheritance from being easily cut off.
The more far-reaching significance is that the cultural tourism industry actively responds to the country’s call, using culture as a medium and tourism as an intermediary, which not only promotes the vigorous development of local tourism, enhances the city’s international reputation, but also injects new vitality and growth into the economy. point. This is a win-win or even multi-win initiative, which not only protects cultural roots but also promotes sustainable economic development. "Jackie Chan said loudly and deliberately.
Sometimes when talking about business, the effect of speaking out the project in another way can sometimes be unexpected.
" Bang bang bang. "
The people around him gave big brother enough face and kept applauding in response.
Chen Xi could only nod his head when he heard this. If you sing the opposite at this time, it would be a slap in the face of others. .
What's more, Jackie Chan has been his idol since he was a child, so how can he not support him.
Besides, this project does make money quickly and has low risks.
He didn’t seem to have heard of anyone who didn’t make any money doing this. If so, that's also the reason why I didn't 'perform' well.
"Oh, brother, you are sensible. It would be great if that bastard in my family could be half as good as you..."
Hearing JackieChan praise himself so much, Chen Xi's face was full of dark lines.
One moment you are talking about my brother, and the next moment you are talking about your son, what is our seniority?
Master Shui looked at everyone laughing and joking and ignoring her, so he turned his attention to Shuishui. Coincidentally, Shuishui also looked over, and their eyes met, and there seemed to be a thousand words communicating in their eyes.
Haha, your godfather doesn’t care about you.
Why are you so proud? You found a pretty boy to make fun of me.
The guy I'm looking for is young, handsome, and has good physical strength. Look at your guy, he could probably crush you to death.
Really? I just like older people who can care for others.
Come on, I punished that sissy today, so I can teach you a lesson.
Hey, do you think I care about him? He just defeated me once, we'll see.
The two women mocked each other with their eyes, and the people around them were treated like nothing by them.
"Let me tell you briefly, this cultural tourism project is divided into many types. There are theme parks, all-region tourism, special towns, hotel operations, former residence development... not just stage plays, but stage plays. It’s just a stepping stone to win these projects. . This subsidy policy is divided into several types according to the above budget investment subsidies, and they are all dedicated funds for public cultural development..."
"Well, you can also set up funds to operate it," Chen Xi said suddenly. I think of a classmate of mine who does this at home.
"Oh, you know it very well! Just now you pretended not to understand anything, so I said you kid can pretend..." JackieChan laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
Many cultural tourism funds generally start with tens of billions, which has a lot of room for operation, and can accommodate many companies' more difficult projects.
“Haha, I heard what others said.”
"Don't be modest, there are just a few of us here, and what we just said is for others. I said, cultural performances are just a stepping stone, our goal is other money-making businesses. Of course, we must strictly implement the requirements of the local government, At that time, we will contact travel agencies and factories to get some special products..." The director waved and asked them to come closer and discuss in a low voice, because it is best not to let too many people know about the specific matter.
The reason why he did this was actually to tell Chen Xi. He was afraid that the conditions would not be tempting enough and the young man would have the idea of quitting.
Otherwise, the director would definitely open a hotel and hold discussions there.
He just thought that Chen Xi was afraid of refuting his eldest brother's face, so he pretended to agree, but he didn't expect that Chen Xi meant it.
After listening for a long time, Chen Xi finally understood that these people just asked him to use the Returned Association and the media company for publicity. As for the relationships and background mentioned before, they did not mention them in detail at all. As for investing money, that is what every participant needs.
But with JackieChan's financial resources, there is no need to bring Chen Xi along with her.
This made him a little confused. It seemed that it would be more cost-effective to find Linxi and several media outlets, so why should he be chosen to participate.
In line with the principle of not thinking about it if you can't figure it out, Chen Xi didn't bother to care anymore, raised his glass and clinked it with a few people.
After the late-night snack was over, Chen Xi, who looked slightly drunk, found a corner and smoked a cigarette.
He looked at the woman next to him and said: "Sister Shuishui, why don't you go abroad to develop? I feel like this is not suitable for you. Filming is not a long-term solution, especially for actresses. I suggest you It’s better to go into business now that you have money...”
"Hey, I know it too, but it's not easy to mess around in foreign countries. The King of Kung Fu I shot before was only taken care of by Brother Long before I got the position. There is still no news about the film Resident Evil that we are currently talking about, which I think is quite embarrassing. "Shui Shui smoked in front of Chen Xi for the first time, and it was obvious that she was not in a good mood.
The long-term battle with Master Shui has already made her a little tired.
Coupled with the fact that there are now popular celebrities, veteran actors like her are already showing signs of being eliminated.
In fact, there are many mainland actors, and 99% of them may not make any money. There are many young talents graduating from various colleges and universities every year. It is difficult for those with backgrounds to become popular, let alone those from the grassroots.
Seemingly seeing Shuishui's dilemma, Chen Xi blew out a puff of smoke and said in a gentle tone: "Sister Shuishui, I still have some properties in Tu'ao, why don't I give you one first, no matter what It's up to you whether you want to live in it or resell it. When you have enough money in the future, you can return it to me. As for Hollywood, I will try my best to help you build a bridge..."
"Giggle, are you trying to support me? I regard you as my younger brother, but you actually want to be my lover." Shuishui was slightly drunk, and her words were more frank and frank than usual.
"You misunderstood. I sincerely treat you as a sister. I will give you a room directly. You will definitely not want it. Why not lend it to you first, which is regarded as my investment in you. I think you and other girls Artists are different. They are not the kind of women who rely on men to get ahead at all costs. Maybe you have not made much progress in your acting career, so why not switch to business and learn from Chen Guandong..."
Chen Xi waved his hand and looked at her sincerely. other side.
To be honest, it's not that Shuishui is not beautiful, but that she is not the type that Chen Xi likes. So any kind of support or lover is simply impossible to happen.
Chen Xi admired her, and there was no mixed feelings between men and women.
"Uh... ok, then I'll treat you as my sister who invests in me. I don't like to pretend. I don't have much money right now. The banknotes on my hand may not even be as much as a fraction of Master Shui's. I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm even poor. I plan to sell my house..." As he spoke, Shuishui looked a little lonely.
She debuted earlier than Mr. Shui, but ended up doing so badly. Don't look at how cool she is holding a sword on the screen, and how many fans like her online, but that's all superficial.
Actually, many artists are like this, and many of them owe us loan sharks, or they have failed to invest their money in stocks.
There are only a handful of rich artists anyway.
He still remembered that many big-name artists used to be willing to sing at the birthday banquets of some businessmen in the mainland for an appearance fee of hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands.
Maybe only they themselves will understand the sadness in this.
"Don't be sad, things are changing. When you become famous, maybe Mr. Shui will ask you for forgiveness. In this world, strength determines everything. Today they treat you coldly, but maybe tomorrow They will rush to fawn over. Things are unpredictable and everything is possible..."
The reason why Chen Xi said this is because he is a reborn person. He knew that Shui Shui would shine in the business world within a few years, while Shui Ye would suffer a career setback and be permanently banned.
"Thank you, good brother." Shuishui wiped the corners of his eyes gently and hugged Chen Xi gratefully.
At this moment, a bank card slipped quietly into her pocket, like the hand of fate quietly laying out its plan.
Thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes
