Chapter 386: Rich Businessman's Business

What is a historical art film?

Boss Zhang doesn't understand.

Let alone historical art films, he doesn't even understand art films.

He just likes to watch action movies, whether there are many people or few people.

Many old cadres from the cultural and art circles came to this dinner, but the protagonist is Zhang Haonan, there is nothing he can do, he has money.

However, many people came to join in the fun and liven up the atmosphere, including Li Shuzhai and Geng Qingsong. Now Geng Qingsong has also been promoted to the vice president of the Academy of Fine Arts, and his style is still good.

The reason for the promotion is of course that Comrade Geng Qingsong has outstanding work, strong style, and firm stance during his tenure as the director of the Painting Department, and he is a model for teachers and students in the whole school...

Of course, this is a high evaluation from the organization.

From the students' point of view, it is really shameless to kneel down and call "Senior Sister Feiyan" the ancestor.

Zhao Feiyan now has two nicknames, one of which is naturally the ordinary "Senior Sister Feiyan", which is a flattery from the freshmen, which is nothing.

The other one is even more ordinary... "Boss Zhao from our school is approachable, dignified, generous, beautiful, kind, outstanding, and excellent in both character and learning."

Very low-key.

In short, no matter whether they are about to graduate or have already graduated, most of them call Zhao Feiyan "Boss Zhao".

Zhao Feiyan told Zhang Haonan that it was just a joke by classmates in school, but Zhang Haonan didn't believe it. You said they were just calling it randomly, but they were not calling it randomly.

Among the main businesses of "Xuanniao Film and Television Culture", one of the major income is to organize large-scale activities, including organizing large-scale singing and dancing parties and opening ceremonies. Jianyi has signed many short-term contracts through the platform of Xuanniao Company, and many students earn extra money.

For example, the large-scale wall paintings in Shacheng are now basically outsourced to "Xuanniao Film and Television Culture". Many people who plan to go abroad to make a living now have no problem making a living by technology even if they don't make a living by art.

What's even more amazing is that Zhao Feiyan relied on her husband's connections to successively win large-scale wall paintings in Jianggao, Gaodong and Jiankang Shensen area, as well as a large part of the city's outdoor advertising and public service advertising projects.

In this business, Zhao Feiyan really made money. She lost money on the cerebral palsy project "Super Pig Man", and the return on investment was far away. If Zhang Haonan hadn't asked her to squander and ruin her family, she would have stopped this damn pig head ration long ago.

The cerebral palsy project "Super Pig Man" alone supported too many practitioners. Liangxi painters were originally squeezed to the extreme. Many animation studios were all sucking blood from soldiers. But because Zhao Feiyan followed her husband's orders and messed around, the treatment of Liangxi's sweat-and-dry painters suddenly doubled.

It really doubled, an extremely outrageous phenomenon-level catfish effect.

Many painters and artists who survived here said that Boss Zhao had great merits and must be "Shacheng Guanyin".

The most amazing thing is that the animation company in Liangxi that cheated on subsidies did not dare to retaliate against "Xuanniao Film and Television Culture", and did not even make anonymous reports.

This is not because it is more troublesome to cross the city. Those who are more curious have found out after several inquiries that Boss Zhao's husband is a bit weird...

The boss of the company did not want to be possessed by evil spirits, so in order to ward off evil spirits, he endured this and raised the price for the painter with a pinch of his nose.

Since the year before last, I don’t know how many people cursed Zhao Feiyan to lose money and go bankrupt early, but what no one expected was that "Super Pig Man" was exported... exported... exported...

It’s really outrageous.

Of course, this pig is still losing money and making no money at all. Boss Zhao is still burning money to play, which makes people shocked, frightened, and trembling...

But "Xuanniao Film and Television Culture" is like nothing happened, and it continues to expand and recruit people. The company has also grown and developed, so "Shacheng Guanyin" has developed towards metaphysics, mysticism, and destiny under the silent blessings of many friendly employees.

The black bird of destiny descended to give birth to the Shang Dynasty.

Shang means the Shang of the rich, not the Shang of the Yin Dynasty.

Boss Zhao, may you live a hundred years... Of course, you can live forever.

As for Boss Zhao's husband, Boss Zhang... I don't know him well, so I wish him good health forever.

The art workers who find joy in the hardship of the bottom are subtly contagious, and Jiankang is also looking forward to "Senior Feiyan" to work harder and give those bosses who squeeze them for a living a tough time. They don't ask for their own companies or studios to be annexed, but they ask for their bosses to raise their wages.

The requirements are not high, just 1,800 yuan a month, and you can buy a house with a little bit of grit.

Zhang Haonan naturally knows nothing about the ups and downs of these art workers. He doesn't pay attention to how Zhao Feiyan struggles, but only looks at the progress of this woman's spending.

As a "rich man", you have to let people see your strength at all times, otherwise one day your wallet will be empty and you will have to borrow money from the bank to appear on TV.

That's unnecessary.

"President Li, President Geng, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Boss Zhang is a busy man, and we finally meet again."

Geng Qingsong, who was promoted, smiled happily, and Li Shuzhai was even happier, he might have to jump another level.

And now there are many choices, you can go to another normal school in the province to be the second in command, you can be the first in command of an art school, or you can go to a county to be the deputy county magistrate...

In addition to the historical process, of course, there are also personal efforts of Mr. Li.

After a few greetings, they entered the private room while chatting.

At this moment, there were not many people in the room, so Li Shuzhai said: "Director Gong has arrived a long time ago. I heard that Boss Zhang is from Shacheng, so I specially asked someone to make some cakes, both salty and sweet."

"That's so polite. In fact, I still don't know what snacks there are in my hometown."

"..."

Unlike other county-level cities where local delicacies are readily available, Shacheng is a patchwork of places where you can get a little bit of it, but you can’t rely on it anywhere. There are no local specialties. What you can have is all Yu There are better ones in Shanshan and Chengjiang.

Even the sesame cakes...are not as good as Qijiang and Jianggao on the other side of the Yangtze River.

Not long after, another group of people came in, all of them looked elegant and well-mannered. Zhang Haonan was somewhat out of place among them.

If he hadn't been smiling, otherwise this scene would have started to feel like "burning books and humiliating scholars".

The old lady with silver-rimmed glasses and white hair in front of him had a kind smile and a temperament that suggested someone from a scholarly family. After she saw Zhang Haonan, she came over first.

Because Zhang Haonan didn't know her at all. He could count the number of domestic directors he knew on one hand.

Of course, this also has something to do with him not paying attention to the development of movies at all. The closest he got to know before his rebirth was when a crew called "Pink Lady" was filming in a five-star hotel in Shacheng, so he paid a little attention to it.

But that thing doesn’t seem to be a movie, but a TV series.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the Palace Director."

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I am Gong Xiangru. Thank you Mr. Zhang for coming, thank you..."

The old lady was very polite and shook hands with Zhang Haonan.

I don’t know if she is an assistant or a disciple behind her, but there are several people here. Zhang Haonan recognizes two of them. They are from the Jiankang City Cultural Bureau. Previously, "Magic Three Kingdoms" became the only video game on sale in a state-owned bookstore, and it was also very lively. One pass.

After all, Zhang Haonan spent his own money to develop a satellite for the cultural industry in Jiankang City. "Magic Three Kingdoms" is now the... conscience of domestic stand-alone games.

It may not be much, but it's still a little bit.

The publicity carnival has little to do with Zhang Haonan. This is a normal operation by the relevant departments to ask for credit and show merit. There is nothing to say.

However, after going back and forth, I attach more importance to Boss Zhang's development in electronic entertainment. If it can become bigger and stronger, Jiankang City will be considered to be ahead of the times.

What you want is excitement.

Mainly, the Yangtze River Delta is qualified to show off its muscles on electronic software, and currently it seems that Songjiang is the only one.

This is not to say how the market is, but whether it is software or hardware, Songjiang is the leader in the initial investment in national defense scientific research.

Cities with large and strong industries will inevitably have endogenous demand and related output.

This is a rule, and it does not mean that it can be reversed by individual efforts.

Just like the development of Bao'an as a special economic zone, most people will be attracted by certain Internet companies for a period of time, and they will be regarded as the city's business cards. But later, when you lift the Internet quilt of Bao'an and look inside, you will see that they are all specific industries. industrial clusters.

Jiankang's idea of ​​developing the software industry is very beautiful, but it is only very beautiful. With Songjiang at his side, it is unlikely that the software industry will be successful, but the Internet industry can still make some progress.

After all, the Internet itself is an enabler and accelerator. Even if it cannot empower the industrial categories that are not strong in Jiankang, you can still choose to empower certain industries or agriculture or other tertiary industries in other places, as long as the tax revenue can stay in Jiankang. That’s it.

The rest is trivial.

Therefore, Zhang Haonan's "chatting" is really the pet peeve of Jiankang City's information technology and cultural industry departments. Every time Boss Zhang plans to move, the head of the department will call: Look, you are joking as much as you like.

Even because the "clattering" animals have been mixed in the community for a long time, the Jiankang Municipal Government Office even conducted a special survey and wanted to allocate a piece of land to the west of Longzangpu River, across the river from the old TV Tower. It can also be regarded as a full display of humanistic care.

There is no way, it is already summer, and "Magic Three Kingdoms" is still very useful as the "sales champion" of domestic stand-alone games.

Boss Zhang has recovered 60-70% of the money he spent out of his own pocket.

It's really a miracle.

And with the help of the "Panda Continent" website platform, and the fact that the country has issued a notice at the beginning of this year that it will comprehensively increase the bandwidth, it can be regarded as borrowing the east wind, "嘁婽卡哩" developed its own battle platform "Panda Battle Platform" Start trial operation of colleges and universities.

The main product is of course "Magic Three Kingdoms", and the local Internet cafe in Jiankang is very willing to promote it because it is a pretty good gimmick.

It's just that the Internet cafes these days are relatively messy, far less formalized than they will be in a few years, and the construction of various systems cannot keep up with social development. This is considered a normal phenomenon and cannot be forced.

However, this also reflects Zhang Haonan's "soft power", which is quite good in Jiankang.

With the support of local government departments, relevant experience in the cultural industry, and abundant capital, it is not surprising that it attracts people from all walks of life.

As an older-generation female director with considerable qualifications and achievements, Gong Xiangru can't just find a coal boss even if she occasionally shamelessly raises funds.

It's not impossible for several state-owned enterprises to try to find some sponsorship for her.

Only this time she is not returning to the world to take over the camera again, but she is paving the way for her students.

I approached Yangzi Petrochemical before, and they were very considerate, but I heard that the movie was not hers, but a student's, and the sponsorship fee was reduced sharply to 30,000...

Gong Xiangru was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he also knew that he couldn't blame the other company. If something went wrong, for example, if the students wanted to play with their personality and make something "dark and cruel", and then reflect the director's various "spirits", then the relevant persons in charge of the state-owned enterprises would have to follow suit.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the movie, but it has a direct relationship with stability.

Therefore, those who can beg for alms from coal bosses are all smart people and have a clear mind.

There are not many local coal bosses in Jiankang, and most of those who play in the gray industry are second-generation, so Gong Xiangru has become the one who is inconvenient to contact.

After counting, it has to be a "private entrepreneur".

Isn't this a coincidence.

Jianyi has a "well-known alumnus (current student)", and Liangjiang University of Technology also has a "well-known alumnus (current student)". If you don't sell your face at this time, others may not give you face later.

This is also why Li Shuzhai and Geng Qingsong appear here, and they are the first to take the lead.

You say that all these are fate, and there is no problem at all.

After the polite conversation, they drank some wine to liven up the atmosphere. Gong Xiangru did not take advantage of her age. She had seen too many talented people, including those who were in charge of various fields. She liked to hear flattery, but if she was fooling around, she would be asking for trouble.

So it was what it was.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, the play "Lanling King" is not complicated. It just picks a handsome young man, and then has more expressiveness in art, telling a simple love story without complicated court intrigues."

"Oh? Mr. Gong, what do you think of my conditions? I am also a young man, I am only 20 years old, I feel that I..."

"You are wronged to play Lanling King."

Mr. Zhao picked up a chopstick of food and put it on the plate in front of Zhang Haonan, and then teased, "With your conditions and handsome looks, why can you play Lanling King? You have to play the Eighth King."

"Oh~~ Class 16 knows the Eighth King."

Gong Xiangru was still confused when he saw a macho man with a weird look, but the other party was a couple, so it didn't matter what he said.

Hu Ke, who was sitting with him, was not idle these two days. He read a lot of historical figures, all of which were jokes.

What are the "Four Most Handsome Men in History", "Ten Famous Generals in Ancient Times", "Four Princes of the Warring States Period"... all these things, among which there are also various other ones, such as "Ten Most Assassins in History", "Ten Most Rebels in Ancient Times", and it just so happens that the "Rebels" section introduces Zhang Xianzhong.

So when Hu Ke heard Zhao Feiyan's ridicule, he actually understood the connotation, and immediately lowered his head and laughed secretly, thinking that the boss was really good at talking.

But then he thought about it, "Brother Haonan" is surnamed Zhang, "Eight Great Kings" are also surnamed Zhang, and they don't seem to be kind-hearted people. Isn't this a coincidence... So Hu Ke, who couldn't hold back his laughter, had to lean his head under the table, his shoulders kept shaking.

Zhao Feiyan didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Haonan's weirdness. She was used to it anyway. She smiled at Gong Xiangru and said, "Director Gong, I've read the script and I think it's very suitable. And the role of Lanling King is also a coincidence. The kid who came here today is the one that we Xuanniao will promote next. Keke, why are you lowering your head? Say hello to Director Gong."

"Why are you lowering your head?! Calling you Keke is not calling you Corgi. Is there a wallet under the table or something?!"

Zhang Haonan saw Hu Ke shaking his shoulders like crazy and shouted.

Hu Ke, who was startled, quickly raised his head and hit the table with the back of his head. He was so painful that he covered his head and grimaced.

Everyone at the table was shocked at first, then smiled, but Gong Xiangru looked at Hu Ke and said with a smile: "This kid has good bone structure."

"Not bad."

Boss Zhang looked calm, he didn't mind others praising Hu Ke for his handsomeness, praising him hard, praising him to death, anyway, this kid wrote a note, in black and white as proof, he was afraid of nothing.

He should look like a handsome boy, but not too creamy, after all, "Lanling King" is not a sissy, he is going to the battlefield.

Although Zhang Haonan doesn't watch movies much, he thinks there should be no historical art film called "Lanling King". It is estimated that if there is no meal for him, Gong Xiangru begging for alms from students, which is to make a low-cost movie of hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Now the situation is different. As long as Gong Xiangru doesn't want to emphasize his director's control ability and insists on messing around with the protagonist, this matter will be considered a success.

After Hu Ke regained his seriousness, everyone present felt that the young man was indeed good-looking. After learning that Hu Ke had applied for Songjiang Drama, the people of Jianyi looked regretful.

However, it also raised Hu Ke's status, proving that this guy was not a slacker and did not intend to make a living by his face.

This actually made Zhang Haonan feel a little strange. What's wrong with making a living by his face?

Is there anything wrong with making a living by his face?

This is also a natural capital.

Just like getting rich through hard work, hard work itself is not an excellent quality?

The same principle.

Gong Xiangru's student said that he was a student, but in fact he was her grandchild, but these were all minor details. Boss Zhang was not interested in this. He had seen the other party's works, advertisements, short films and music videos, and felt that they were all good.

He did not understand the language of the lens, but just thought it was good, that was good.

Then this young man graduated from Haidai Art College. He also checked in advance and it was okay, not a bad student.

That's enough, what more requirements are there.

Even if it's a bad movie, it doesn't matter much, because making movies these days doesn't make money anyway.

But it's good to use "The King of Lanling" to practice "Internet viral marketing". He has thought of various shocking titles and will practice his skills when the time comes.

Then make a gimmick of "owing Keke a movie ticket"...

Isn't this enough?

As for whether the director wants to participate in this award or that award, it's none of his business. He won't make much money anyway. When the time comes, the company's outstanding employees will be allowed to travel abroad with him and take photos, which will be regarded as benefits.

However, although making movies is not profitable, Boss Zhang has already figured out how to lie down and get a two-year tax exemption from the Shacheng City Government.

If you need to use some computer stunts or something during the filming, this "clicking sound" can also get some tax rebates on technology investment from the Jiankang Municipal Government.

Isn't it better to eat two fish than to earn box office money?

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, thank you both very much for your support for the development of the film..."

Gong Xiangru has begged many times in his life, but even for state-owned enterprises with whom he has an old friendship, begging is not that simple, making him feel like he is committing a fraud.

She was even a little unsure, was it true that people in Shacheng were stupid and had too much money...

"Hey, Mr. Gong is serious. The film industry is also an industry. Anyway, you only need to invest tens of millions. This amount of money is nothing."

"One thousand...how much?"

Gong Xiangru trembled violently, and then she thought about toasting Zhang Haonan and Zhao Feiyan. She thought about the investment of more than one million, how easy it was to do it, and it didn't take any effort at all.

"Sixteen to seven million, no matter how much it is, it won't be much. I estimate that a prince's palace is about one hundred acres. It may be very expensive to have a courtyard in the capital. In the small place of Shacheng, you can only have a few." money."

"..."

Geng Qingsong was also trembling. After all, he was still too young and did not have much experience as a vice-dean. He could not act calmly in such a situation, which showed that he still needed experience.

"Director Palace, our Xuandiao is also very sincere. The resources invested in Ke Ke must be of the highest quality. Please rest assured."

"..."

Facing this pair of "male and female evil spirits", Gong Xiangru, who prides himself on being well-informed, was quite speechless. He spent so much money on such a child... Is this child your biological child? !

I'm working overtime and have no time for two days in a row, grandma's fault.
