Chapter 1122 Investing in Movies
Yang Dongxu's words undoubtedly made Ge Da Ye and the other two stunned. Because from what he said, it was obvious that this matter was not impossible to do, but it was not worth the loss.
It can be done!
This is undoubtedly the key, because when the higher-ups wanted to ban Jiang Wen, there were many people with extraordinary identities who spoke up for Jiang Wen, but in the end, his director position was banned for five years.
In fact, everyone felt that this punishment was acceptable at the time. After all, if it was someone else, it would definitely be a disaster. So no one said anything.
So Yang Dongxu actually said that he could solve this ban, which was very arrogant.
Their first reaction was that Ran Feifei, the junior, was bragging. Do you think the General Administration is opened by your family? Young people don't have a door when they speak.
But since Ran Feifei pulled Yang Dongxu over to see if he could help, it was obvious that they were really good friends. Ran Feifei and the other three also knew that since Ran Feifei asked this, it was obviously because her nephew could really help.
In addition, since Yang Dongxu knew that Jiang Wen was banned and knew the number of years of the ban, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense. The three people couldn't help but be curious about his identity.
Although they all knew that Ran Feifei was the boss of Yangjiayan, Yangjiayan was the leading catering giant in China, and its branches had been opened abroad. It was said that his status was not simple. But the catering industry and the film and television industry were not in the same circle.
"Then don't do it, it's useless." Ran Feifei snorted.
She also saw that Jiang Wen seemed very uncomfortable and mentioned it casually. After saying that, she also felt that this matter was indeed not worth the loss. After all, the five-year ban is now about to pass three years, and it is indeed not suitable to do anything weird.
Moreover, although he can't direct, Jiang Wen has been very satisfied with acting in movies in recent years. He even directed some movies, but he didn't hang the title of director. In this way, the General Administration turned a blind eye and ignored it. Isn't it just looking for trouble to tease again?
Yang Dongxu could only smile bitterly at his aunt. In fact, he was also confused. He didn't know what happened to his aunt today and she was a little angry.
I had already discovered and explained the misunderstanding with Yu Feihong earlier!
In short, it is better not to guess what a woman is thinking. Otherwise, it will only make things difficult for me.
The topic stopped here, and then the dishes and wine came, and everyone started drinking.
The content of the chat ranged from movies to catering, to the policies of the film and television industry, the management of actors, and then I don’t know how it got to real estate.
In short, as more and more wine was drunk, the things everyone discussed became more and more extensive, and in the end, I didn’t know where to talk about.
Then, maybe because I was very relieved by Ran Feifei, I drank too much directly.
Yu Feihong, who looked very happy after drinking the wine, was not much better. Jiang Wen came here to get drunk today, so it was naturally impossible for him to be sober.
So among the five people, except Yang Dongxu, only Ge Daye was still a little conscious, but Ge Daye was obviously more. It was just a little better than the other three.
Fortunately, Ge Daye and Jiang Wen both had their own assistants, otherwise Yang Dongxu could only call the security guards of Yangjiayan. It was troublesome enough to deal with a drunkard, not to mention that there were four in front of him.
The assistant who accompanied the two people first sent Uncle Ge and Jiang Wen to the car. Then his aunt and Yu Feihong were packed and taken back to the courtyard to be taken care of by Aunt Hua.
He took a hot bath, and the alcohol was completely taken up. He felt dizzy and slept soundly on the bed.
The next day, Yang Dongxu got up early. Then he started running. Although he didn't lose face in front of Bai Xi, he was still very brave. But he knew his own affairs, and he felt that he should keep up with physical exercise and not be too lazy. Otherwise, if he always relies on his old capital, he will be finished one day.
He went out to the park for a run first. After the body was fully exercised, he did a set of boxing in the yard. After sweating slightly, he felt refreshed.
"Are you awake?" Yang Dongxu came to the restaurant after taking a shower and saw Yu Feihong and his aunt Ran Feifei drinking porridge, who looked in good spirits.
"Are they both okay?" Ran Feifei asked.
"It should be fine. They brought their assistants with them yesterday. They obviously realized that they were going to drink too much. I saw them get into the car and be taken away by their assistants." Yang Dongxu took the porridge that Aunt Hua helped to serve and said.
"That's good." Ran Feifei nodded, "By the way, where is Du Fei?"
Before Yang Dongxu was kidnapped, only Zhou Ya knew about it. Others didn't know, so Ran Feifei asked casually when she saw Wu Sheng exercising in the yard just now but didn't see Du Fei.
"He went to Northern Russia for something. Wang Sheng will follow me in the future. You can tell him if you have anything." Yang Dongxu took a big bite of the bun and said vaguely.
Compared to many people who start to learn some aristocratic etiquette, etiquette when eating Western food, and the way of speaking in normal times after they get rich.
After Yang Dongxu became rich, there was actually no change in his family. They have always been in a free-range state. There was no deliberate learning and change. Naturally, there was no prohibition of not talking while eating or sleeping.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to grab it from you." Seeing Yang Dongxu's eating style, as an elder and a friend beside him, Ran Feifei glanced at him. But he just glanced at her and didn't take it too seriously, "Are you familiar with Zhang Yimou?"
"Yes, we worked together before. Why do you think of asking this?" Yang Dongxu asked in surprise.
"Is it the movie "Hero"? I heard some people from Heina who came to the Yang Family Banquet say before that the global box office was 250 million and it won many awards." Ran Feifei seemed to be very interested in this.
"It is indeed a good harvest at the box office and awards. What? Do you want to act?"
Yang Dongxu doesn’t know how much the previous movie “Hero” had at the box office, but this time it has a global box office of 250 million U.S. dollars, which really shocked countless people’s jaws and set a new record for Chinese-language movies.
At the same time, various awards have also come one after another, not only winning domestic awards, but also receiving rave reviews internationally. It was even rated as number one among the top ten best films in the world this year by Time Magazine. Although this is a bit of a boast, I have to say that this movie is indeed a slight classic.
Especially after Haina became an investor, Lao Mouzi, who had money in his hands, was serious. Many of the costumes, props and shooting scenes that were originally made-to-order were simply transformed frame by frame.
So by the end of the shoot, the budget must have been exceeded, which made other investors nervous. If it weren't for the wealthy and wealthy Hainer, these people probably wouldn't be able to sleep well.
But how much worry was there before, and how much blame was there for the filming overrun. Then there is so much joy about the harvest now, or it is an unexpected surprise.
In short, from actors to directors to investors, it can be said that everyone has achieved a great harvest this time. So these people seemed to have forgotten their previous worries and began to study the next big production "House of Flying Daggers" with enthusiasm again.
"I don't have that free time, she..." Ran Feifei raised her chin to Yu Feihong who was sitting next to him with a surprised look on his face: "If she doesn't want to be a good actor, she has to be a director. She spent a lot of money in the first two years. The money bought me a very promising script to shoot. I was ready to invest some money, but I was afraid of losing money.
So don’t you know many great directors? It's Feihong's first time as a director. I'll see if I can get to know these people and learn something. "
"You don't have to ask me about this matter. Uncle Ge yesterday has deep connections in the circle. Jiang Wen is a director himself."
"Uncle Ge is too busy, and if you go to him, wouldn't he still owe others favors? Jiang Wen, don't say anything. All the movies he makes are losses." Ran Feifei curled her lips.
Yang Dongxu was speechless, she was indeed her aunt. If you ask Uncle Ge for help, you will owe a favor, but if you ask yourself for help, it will be free. And even though you and Jiang Wen are friends, does he know if you say this to him?
Although what you said is true
Now Jiang Wen is indeed a scammer. If you want to invest in award-winning movies, he will definitely meet your requirements. If you want to invest in movies and make money, you'd better stay away from this big pit, otherwise you will fall in and be unable to climb out.
In short, Jiang Wen of this era looks tall and rough, but he is actually a literary youth at heart. Filmmaking pursues art, truth, and perception. As for the box office, what can I do if the audience doesn’t buy tickets?
"What movie? Do you want me to help you find Director Zhang to study?" Yang Dongxu asked a little depressed.
Ran Feifei looked at Yu Feihong, who was a little stupid, "Tell him, I don't understand very well."
Yang Dongxu was completely dumbfounded. Before you could figure it out yourself, you directly asked him to help.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome to learn from Director Zhang. What I bought is a novel, not a script. The script adapted from the novel is still being polished.
One time when I was drinking, I mentioned it to Feifei. She was very interested and prepared to invest money. If the script was not suitable for filming, we would have to wait two years. I never thought she would be so anxious. "Yu Feihong said while observing Yang Dongxu's expression.
It stands to reason that she and Yang Dongxu have known each other for a long time and can be regarded as friends, but her understanding of Yang Dongxu is undoubtedly only the impression of an interesting college student with a good family background.
I don’t know anything else about Yang Dongxu. But at yesterday's dinner, Yang Dongxu's tone when he faced Jiang Wen's incident, and now Ran Feifei asked Yang Dongxu to ask Zhang Yi for help.
And I heard that Yang Dongxu, who previously created a new level of Chinese-language films in "Hero", still has investment. She had to explain things more clearly. Otherwise, it would be fun if the other party misunderstood that she tricked Ran Feifei into investing in her own movie.
Yang Dongxu glanced at Ran Feifei speechlessly. They haven't finished the script yet, so you, the investor, should take the lead first.
However, he actually doesn't have much objection to his aunt's investment in movies. It doesn't matter whether she makes or loses money. After all, apart from her love of traveling, Ran Feifei has no pursuit of luxury goods.
So if she has spare money and is willing to invest in movies for fun, then just have fun. Anyway, losing money is nothing to him and Ran Feifei. Of course, it would be better if you can make money.
