Chapter 512 GOGO Takes the Top Position
515, GOGO rises to the top
Others don't know Li Xinran's "little abacus", but how could Xiaolu not see it? After all, she and Ma Piaoliang used this to get to the top, so she naturally knew what Li Xinran was thinking.
At this time, when Xiaolu looked at the girls again, she felt a little more alert. Although she didn't dislike the people in the girlfriends group to "show her courtesy", she still maintained a strong sense of vigilance towards outsiders.
After all, the people in the girlfriends group are her own people, but outsiders are different. Outsiders are the same as Zhang Siqing's people, and they are all "enemies".
Strictly speaking, Director Xu's circle belongs to the "naughty circle" in the Beijing circle, which means a small circle of some old-generation artists who were once "glorious".
Although this circle looks very "genuine" on the surface, the "intrigues" in secret are much more intense than those in the open circle.
In the naughty circle, it is very common for old men to have young wives. If you see an old man in his sixties leading a young girl in his twenties, don't be surprised.
They are not grandparents, they are just "simple boyfriend and girlfriend".
Also, the gangster circle likes to show off, for example, asking people to dance to liven up the atmosphere, or asking a younger generation to sing a song, which is very common.
Because the gangster circle is very good at acting, even some rich second-generation children from aristocratic families in the Beijing circle are too lazy to join them. Because the reputation of this circle is well known among "discerning people".
In particular, there was a sensation in the Beijing circle in the 1990s. A little girl from the Zheng family, a former medium-sized family in the Kyoto circle, was very obsessed with a rock singer in the gangster circle. As a result, no one expected that in order to maintain the family style, this little girl was really expelled.
For children of aristocratic families, nothing is more terrible than expulsion. You have to know that once you are expelled from the family, it means that all your connections and family business have nothing to do with you.
This is more terrifying. The little girl from the Zheng family who was expelled from the family became depressed after being dumped by a rock singer. In the end, she was reduced to selling breakfast on the street.
Even so, the Zheng family never mentioned the idea of taking her back.
So people in the Kyoto circle are particularly concerned about this "reputation". Once they are expelled from the family, it means losing everything.
Since then, the children of the noble families in the Kyoto circle have also "deeply hated" the "Nunzhu Circle". There is no way, the elders in the family have warned them that if they get involved with that group of people, the consequences will be disastrous.
People at Tang Wen's level definitely understand more thoroughly. Xiao Wang once told him some "old stories" about the "Nunzhu Circle".
After listening, Tang Wen realized that the reason why the children of the noble families hate the "Nunzhu Circle" is because there are so many "banana people" in it, and these children of the noble families are not idiots.
If they are "involved" with such people, not to mention others, their families will probably break their legs. After all, these people's families rely on China for their livelihood.
Anyone with a clear mind knows what to do.
Of course, the "Nunzhu Circle" also had its glory days. In the early 1990s, many of the art films they shot won awards. But they have never been welcomed by the "aristocratic families".
Because most of these people shoot "self-deprecating films", which was OK before China took off. But with the progress of China's economy, many stubborn people still rely on the previous "old stories" to make money.
This makes many people unhappy. After the previous "old stubborn people" were removed, the current China Film and Television Bureau will not play the same tricks with you.
So now this group of people still want to learn from the aristocratic families to play with capital, but how can a group of "self-taught" frogs at the bottom of the well be the opponent of decades or even thousands of years of accumulation?
Besides, other people are not fools. The cake is so big, one person coming in means eating one less person, so the "stubborn people" who have transformed in recent years have cheated many investors.
The first to bear the brunt are the previous coal bosses. When Ma San first went to Kyoto, he was also cheated by an old stubborn person.
A movie with an investment of 20 million yuan, the final box office is more than 100,000 yuan. The old man said that this is art, not a commercial film, and it should win awards.
What was the result? It was sent to the film festival, but only 12 people watched it, and all of them gave it the lowest score of 1.
Since then, Ma San has kept his distance from this group of people. Just kidding, at the speed of their squandering, even if Ma San is a coal boss, he can't stand it.
Moreover, this group of people likes to act like a fool. When they are on the set, they smoke cigars like Hollywood directors. They must be imported from Cuba, and they must stay in star-rated hotels. The food expenses are 2,000 yuan a day.
Yes, you heard it right. They dared to be so shady in 2000.
Ma San was so angry that he almost cursed, so when the old man wanted to continue to look for Ma San to invest after the movie flopped, he directly blocked the other party.
Director Xu was recommended by this group of old masters, so he made his first appearance on the big screen. So it can be seen that although people in Shanghai are dissatisfied with him, Director Xu still insists on staying in the Kyoto circle.
With the "recommendation" of an old master, the comedy "The Road" was released. Since then, Director Xu has become more and more closely connected with people in the Kyoto circle.
But this is what caused the relationship between him and the cinema chain to become strained. By the time he reacted, a large number of newcomers had already occupied the big screen.
So this time, Director Xu made a desperate move to cooperate with the cinema chains in Kyoto and Hong Kong to release two movies at the same time, hoping to use the box office to restore his "status" in the cinema chain.
The result was contrary to his wishes. If there had not been the Qin Feng incident, if the two movies had good reputation and box office as soon as they were released, Director Xu would have promised to bring others to play with him next time he invested, and he might have been able to rise to the top.
Unfortunately, he accidentally offended Qin Feng this time, and things were a bit bad. Other cinema chains are not fools, and Director Xu is now one step away from "restrictions".
No one wants to sign a movie shot by a director who may be cancelled at any time, and they might lose all their money. Moreover, the "strength" of Wanda made them feel that this matter was definitely not simple, and it was very likely to be a big pit.
So far, no production company under the cinema chain dares to take these two plates. Although they look tempting, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.
Tang Wen walked out of the private room and looked at the phone call from Qin Feng and asked, "What's going on?"
"Hehe, wait, Old Tang will have a surprise in a while." Qin Feng said with a sly smile.
