Chapter 514 Variables
This plane was originally customized by a rich man in South America, but the other party encountered a financial crisis and had no money to pay the final payment, so the plane was resold by the manufacturer at a low price.

Li Zhe bought the plane for 5 million US dollars.

The procedures for buying a private jet are cumbersome. First, you need to find an aircraft management company, sign an aircraft trusteeship agreement, and then submit the purchase order to the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

The next step is to recruit pilots and maintenance personnel, and the aircraft manufacturer will provide training for pilots and maintenance personnel.

After completing a series of anti-locking procedures, the plane can be transported back to China.

Private jets need to pay customs duties and value-added taxes, etc., which are generally about 17% of the total price of the plane, which is almost 900 million US dollars.

With just this money, you can buy a top luxury car.

After the plane is transported to the country, it is not immediately ready to fly. It is necessary to report to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, apply for the aircraft airworthiness certificate and the aircraft's nationality registration certificate, and apply for the route in advance every time it takes off.

Aircraft hosting costs are also extremely high. A large business jet like the Gulfstream G550 costs 3000 to [-] million yuan a year.

Private jets can be said to be the most expensive luxury, far beyond the comparison of luxury cars and famous watches.

Li Zhe's Gulfstream G550 is under the name of the company, and the company will pay for the purchase of the plane, subsequent custody and flight costs.

Nominally, this plane is also used to facilitate the travel of the company's employees, not for his personal enjoyment.

Company money and personal money are two completely different things.

Li Zhe now personally holds more than 140 billion funds, mainly stocks and real estate.

He also injected capital into the company by means of loans, that is, he lent his personal money to the company under his name.

In the future, the company will not only have to pay back his money, but also pay interest.

But most of the money he used to enjoy was paid by the company. For example, the various luxury cars he and Xiao Qiao drove were all under the name of the company.

The purchase contract for this Gulfstream G550 was signed in early April, and it will take at least three or four months to transport the aircraft to China and go through all the complicated approval procedures.

However, before the plane arrived, Li Zhe started to recruit flight attendants.

In order to enjoy better service, he plans to recruit a few more beautiful stewardesses.

He didn't do this just for his own enjoyment. The executives of the flying company, as well as its artists, could apply to use it.

……

After finishing the one-month signing activity in thirteen cities across the country, Zhou Ziyu entered the vacation after returning to the Shanghai stock market.

This month, she was exhausted physically and mentally by flying all over the country to sign sales.

That bastard Li Zhe is still very inhuman, always running over to bully her.

Once in Beijing, when she went to Hangzhou to sign a deal with Sanya, he came again.

That time in Hangcheng, Li Zhe booked a screening room very romantically and watched a movie with her, but he started to bully her just after halfway through the movie.

That time in Sanya, he even tricked her to the beach in the name of watching the sunrise.

As a result, Sunrise didn't watch her, and she was bullied to death by him again.

This bastard Li Zhe said that he should be temperate and can no longer be indulgent, but he just said that he would not change it.

Zhou Ziyu was even a little thankful that Xiao Qiao and the others were still there, otherwise she would have been bullied to death by him.

During the vacation, Zhou Ziyu conceived the new book "The Beginning" every day, and went shopping, drinking afternoon tea, and going to the SPA with her famous ladies and girlfriends, and lived a very leisurely life.

This is also the life she wants most.

After trying on wedding dresses for nearly a month and buying dozens of wedding dresses, Xiao Qiao finally passed her enthusiasm.

Regarding the marriage, she has been keeping it a secret, and it's rare that she doesn't show off.

It's just that I'm afraid that someone will sabotage and cause twists and turns.

If Fox Zhou knew that she was going to marry Li Zhe, he would definitely try to obstruct and sabotage her.

At that time, Xiao Qiao was really afraid that she would not be able to control herself, so she stabbed her with scissors.

She can bear other things, but if anyone dares to spoil her wedding with Li Zhe, she will fight with all her life!

Liu Kaiyue has been busy assessing and rectifying the staff for more than a month, working overtime every day until eight or nine in the evening, even busier than the boss Li Zhe.

After the company's rectification, the atmosphere has become new. After absorbing more middle and high-end management talents, the management has become more formalized and team-based, and the system has truly shifted from rule of man to institutionalization.

After this rectification, Liu Kaiyue's prestige in the company has been established.

With the growing scale of Fundong Group, Li Zhe must gradually delegate power. In the future, the specific management of the company will be handed over to the management.

He is only responsible for controlling the company's development direction and formulating development strategies.

This requires someone he trusts to restrain the company's management.

Li Zhe's temporary candidates are Liu Kaiyue and Bai Wei.

Recently, Shen Xinyi suddenly had the idea to make a short web drama.

Nowadays, there are quite a few people making online short dramas and big online movies.

This period was originally the period of the rise and development of online dramas and big online movies. Under the influence of Li Zhe, the development speed of online dramas became faster.

The popularity of "Moon Hotel", "The Promotion of the Princess", and "Unexpectedly" made many film and television companies focus on online dramas that they didn't pay much attention to at first.

At present, the review of online dramas is much more relaxed than that of TV dramas. It is not so troublesome to sell directly to video platforms instead of TV stations.

Originally, online dramas and big online movies were only made by some amateurs, such as "Mao Movie", "Happy Little 2B", "College Students Living Together" and other popular online dramas were only made by art school students and Taken by ordinary people.

Now that film and television companies have participated in advance, the online drama market has also shown a trend of prosperity in advance.

As soon as Shen Xin saw a story on the Internet, she thought it was good, so she bought the copyright of the story, changed it into a script, and prepared to make it into a web drama.

The plot is probably the story of two female college students who met through a misunderstanding, worked part-time and started a business and grew up together.

Shen Xinyi also showed Li Zhe the script she wrote and asked for his opinion.

Li Zhe encouraged her a few words on the surface, but in fact he was not optimistic about this short play.

This story is still very good, but a good story does not mean that there must be a market.

There is no market for youth friendship and inspirational dramas in China.

"Struggle" was filmed as a love triangle and fighting father.

"The Age of Entrepreneurship" was filmed as the Age of Love.

Producers and directors will shoot like this, which is inseparable from the market.

The audience of domestic TV dramas is mainly women, who are not interested in such content as youthful friendship and inspirational content at all, and only want to watch romance.

Therefore, no matter what themes are in domestic dramas, such as the workplace, the military, or firefighting, the core is always about love, and it is especially bloody.

Even though he knew that the web drama Shen Xinyi wanted to shoot had no market, Li Zhe had no intention of interfering.

The investment in such an online short drama is only a few hundred thousand, so if you want to play, let her play.

This Shen Guaiguai is now a little woman... No, she is a little rich girl, and it is not a pain or itching for her to lose hundreds of thousands.

……

At the end of April, Li Zhe reformed Quku Entertainment's artist training class, Quku Star Making Training Camp, and renamed it Quku Film and Television Performance Training School.

No longer just a performance training institution, it will recruit full-time art candidates for long-term training like a regular art school.

In June this year, the school will recruit the first batch of students. It is expected that there will be five majors including film and television performance, film and television director, and broadcasting host, and more than 6 students will be recruited.

Li Zhe plans to build this school into the first private professional art school in China.

In the future, the threshold for becoming a celebrity will become higher and higher, and it will become more and more difficult for ordinary people with no money and no background to succeed, even if they are admitted to a top domestic artist school.

During the art test, there was even a new word called amateur candidates, that is, candidates who had no contact with the entertainment industry at all.

Compared with star candidates, the probability of amateur candidates being admitted is greatly reduced.

The artists promoted by capital are becoming more and more delicate, which has led to a serious talent gap.

Li Zhe set up this acting school in order to give art candidates from ordinary families a way out.

For an entertainer with money and background, it is unrealistic for you to expect him to be more dedicated and hardworking.

Such exceptions exist, but are rare.

For the long-term development of the company, Quku Entertainment also needs a professional artist training school.

Not only did he set up an acting school, Li Zhe also asked Quku Entertainment to push for restrictions on artist remuneration.

According to the first, second and third lines, formulate the highest salary standard for an artist.

Artists who exceed this standard are not prohibited from participating in Quku Entertainment's film and television projects, but they must turn the part of the salary that exceeds the highest salary standard into investment.

When a film or TV series succeeds, the actors will make money with the company, and if they fail, they will lose money together.

With a sky-high salary, you don't have to bear the responsibility for the failure of the project, but there is no such good thing.

On April 4, the movie "Pacific Rim" was released.

The shooting and post-production of this film took more than a year, and the leading actors are Liu Yufei and Da Tiantian.

"Pacific Rim" is currently Quku Entertainment's largest investment in a movie, with a final production cost of more than 1.6 million yuan, far exceeding the previous "Witch" and "Lonely Agent".

The movie lived up to expectations, earning 2.5 million at the box office in the first three days of its release.

The media predicted that the box office of "Pacific Rim" may exceed 10 billion, becoming the first domestic film with a box office of over 10 billion.

The word-of-mouth of the audience is also good, with a Douban score of 7.8, saying that this film has basically reached the level of Hollywood blockbusters.

Especially the battle between mechs and monsters, the scene is grand, comparable to Transformers.

Now domestic audiences like to watch Hollywood-style blockbusters most, with big scenes and high special effects. As for the rationality of the plot, it is not very important.

"Transformers" has so many flaws in the plot, the audience still likes to watch it.

"Pacific Rim" can have such a high box office, and it has a lot to do with the schedule. This year's May [-]st, only the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Guan Yunchang" are still able to do well.

But both movies hit the box office.

Originally, the box office of the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not bad, but the reputation was too bad.

After Liu Yufei was gone this time, not only did her reputation suffer, but the box office also plummeted.

Just like that "Playing with the Big Star", it was a mess.

After Liu Yufei refused to act, the 20-year high-quality idol found a small Taiwanese model to be the heroine.

The little model looks good too, but she is not as popular as Liu Yufei.

Although "Pacific Rim" became popular, the heroine of Da Tiantian was not popular, and she became the object of criticism from audiences and film critics, saying that she brought money into the group and her acting skills were hindered.

If the movie's box office fails to exceed 10 billion in the end, she will definitely be blamed.

However, the popularity of Liu Yufei, the second female lead, skyrocketed because of this, and her fans even exploded.

Although Liu Yufei's role in this movie is said to be the second female lead, her role is no less than that of Da Tiantian, the heroine, and she can also be regarded as a double heroine.

First, "Moon Hotel" was popular in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and "Pacific Rim" is expected to become the first domestic movie with a box office of over 10 billion.

In the mouth of the media and fans, she has become an Asian goddess, No.1 among young domestic actresses.

But she completely forgot that she is actually an American, and strictly speaking, she is not considered a domestic artist.

In 2011, the May Day holiday lasted for three days.

It is said to be three days, but in fact there is only one day. May 2nd and 3rd are originally Saturdays and Sundays.

On the 2nd day, Li Zhe went to the company for a stroll in the morning and left, and came to a nearby movie theater.

Liu Yufei was already waiting for him at the entrance of the cinema.

She wore a sun hat, mask and sunglasses, covering herself tightly.

It wasn't just him, Li Zhe also did some covering up, wearing a hat and a mask.

He is considered a celebrity now, and he is occasionally recognized by others when he walks on the street.

"Brother Zhe!" Seeing Li Zhe coming, a bright smile appeared on Liu Yufei's face.

"Come on, let's go in!" Li Zhe also smiled, put his arms around her shoulders, and the two walked into the cinema together.

The two made an appointment to watch "Pacific Rim" together today.

In fact, although Li Zhe and Liu Yufei cover up every time they date, they were still photographed by the media several times.

However, it has never been exposed by the media.

Some people on the Internet guessed wildly, but it happened that they really guessed what they really wanted.

The entertainment media seems to dare to blow up everything, but in fact it is just bullying ordinary stars who have no backstage.

Which media dares to expose the private lives of Jack Ma and Pony Ma?

Not to mention these bigwigs, even the real rich and rich second generation, no entertainment media dare to explode.

That is to say, Richard Liu was careless abroad and fell into the trap of others, and his private life was exposed.

Let people know that the taste of rich bigwigs is no different from that of ordinary people, and they are not high-end.

There are many people in the cinema on weekends, and many of them are couples who are out on a date.

Li Zhe queued up to buy two movie tickets, and then walked into the screening hall with Liu Yufei.

The attendance rate of the screening hall was very high. When the lights went down and the movie started showing, the entire screening hall was almost full.

This is because "Pacific Rim" has just been released for a few days, and the popularity is high. In addition, there will be so many people during the May Day holiday.

Liu Yufei looked around and was also surprised by such a high attendance rate.

She glanced at Li Zhe, "Brother Zhe, do you think the box office of this movie can really exceed 10 billion?"

"It's probably difficult." Li Zhe shook his head and said.

Hollywood-style blockbusters such as "Pacific Rim" lack stamina at the box office, and the general box office breakout period is only two weeks before.

"However, the box office will be at least [-] million or more."

……

While Li Zhe and Liu Yufei were watching a movie together, in a coffee shop by the West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhou Ziyu was also drinking coffee with a few famous ladies and girlfriends.

She invited Zhu Qianlin and the others to play here in Hangzhou.

A girl said something interesting, and Zhu Qianlin and the others couldn't help but chuckle.

Zhou Ziyu also had a faint smile on his face, and took a sip of coffee.

Suddenly, she felt a little sick and couldn't help frowning.

"Ziyu, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Qianlin noticed her expression.
