Chapter 928 Beixue Film Company ([-] daily updates, please subscribe~)

Yanjing, Chaoyang!
Not far from Tangting Building, there is also an office building. There are various companies in the office building, but there is still one company that is quite special.

This company is called Beixue Film Company. Beixue Film Company is a film company established in the middle of last year. The owner, Li Xiangbei, used to do real estate business in Qiong Province. Like Vantone Six Gentlemen, he is also in Qiong Province. Before the real estate bubble burst, he sold all his businesses in Qiong Province in time.

This made Li Xiangbei a fortune.

After leaving Qiong Province, Li Xiangbei is also thinking about his future development direction. In fact, Li Xiangbei is planning to go back to his old business in China at the beginning, still doing real estate business, real estate in Qiong Province Although the bubble is fierce, the domestic real estate business has already started to take off in his opinion.

But when he came to Yanjing to investigate the market, he accidentally watched a movie. The movie was made by the Beijing Film Studio. In Li Xiangbei's opinion, this movie was not so special. Excellent, compared with Wu Jianye's movie, it is too far behind.

But there were many audiences in the movie theater, which made him very surprised. Under the trend of curiosity, Li Xiangbei went to several other movie theaters and found that there were also many audiences here.

Of course, all he went to were Fengge Cinemas. In other cinemas, there were not so many people.

This made Li Xiangbei want to make a movie!
However, although Li Xiangbei wanted to make movies, he didn't know anyone in the film industry, so Li Xiangbei was a bit like a headless fly bumping around at first.

Although he also used his relationship to meet with many film directors, including Chen Kaige, but at that time Chen Kaige had already contacted RB's capital, so he did not agree to Li Xiangbei's request.

However, as a self-made man in Qiong Province, since he decided to be in the film industry, he would not give up so easily.

In the end, Li Xiangbei got to know Wang Tao, a writer and director at CCTV, through a friend!
In fact, Li Xiangbei was not very optimistic about Wang Tao at the beginning, after all, Wang Tao has not proved his worth through any movie.

But after a visit to Wang Tao's home, Li Xiangbei changed his mind.

Wang Tao's house is not big, just a room with two bedrooms and one living room, but Wang Tao lives in it himself, which actually shows that Wang Tao's own financial conditions are still acceptable.

One bedroom and one study room. In Wang Tao's study room, Li Xiangbei saw stacks of movie videotapes. There are domestic, Xiangjiang, European and American movies that he can name almost all of them here.

And on Wang Tao's desk, there are also various movie scripts in a mess.

After seeing all this, Li Xiangbei decided to take a gamble!
He invested 1500 million yuan and established Beixue Film Company. The first film invested by Beixue Film Company was "Sword of Sword" directed by Wang Tao. The investment of 800 million yuan is not much for Li Xiangbei, but for the current film As far as the company is concerned, it is already a considerable investment.

During that time, Wang Tao also forgot to sleep and eat to revise the script and set up his own filming team. Fortunately, his previous work experience allowed him to successfully form his own filming team.

Then it's time to find an actor, choose a scene!

After three months of preparation, "The Wind and Cloud of the Sword" officially started shooting. It took two months to complete the filming and two months for post-editing. During that time, Wang Tao spent almost all of his time on the crew.

But dedication always pays off.

The film was finally edited and passed the review of the radio and television.

Although Li Xiangbei established Beixue Film Company, Beixue Film Company does not have distribution qualifications, nor does it have distribution channels.

When Li Xiangbei was inspecting, he had already decided that this movie must only be released in Fengge Cinema, because only Fengge Theater can really support the movie's box office.

So Li Xiangbei took the copy of "Sword of Wind and Cloud" and made an appointment with Huang Jianxin. After watching the movie, Huang Jianxin felt pretty good, and arranged some filming for "Sword of Wind and Cloud".

Although the filming rate is not high, Li Xiangbei is a very pragmatic person. He knows that his film company does not have any reputation, and the director is not a famous director. There is only He Qing, the female lead, who has a very high popularity in China.

This is actually another reason why Huang Jianxin agreed to schedule the film.

The only thing that makes Li Xiangbei feel a little uneasy is that the movie "Sword Dao Fengyun" coincides with Feng Pants's first movie "Never Lost My Love".

And the premiere ceremony of the movie "Forever Lost My Love" even invited Wu Jianye and the big bosses in the entire Beijing circle.

On the other hand, the movie "Sword Dao Fengyun" almost didn't arrange the so-called premiere, and it was released quietly!

But what Li Xiangbei didn't expect was that this movie received great popularity as soon as it was released, and the box office was even more popular all the way. In the end, Fengge Cinema even added an additional lineup of films, which made the box office of "Sword Dao Fengyun" even bigger. The tide has risen even higher.

So when the movie "Sword Dao Fengyun" was released, the domestic box office was as high as 3730 million.

According to the sharing agreement between Li Xiangbei and Fengge Cinema, Beixue Film Company received a box office share of 1865 million. After deducting its tax and other expenses, the income of this movie is as high as more than 800 million, with a 100% profit return rate. It made Li Xiangbei happy for several days.

Although his net worth has reached tens of millions, this rate of return can still make him firm in his idea of ​​continuing to make movies.

So after "Sword Dao Fengyun" was drawn, he took out 1000 million again to invest in Wang Tao's new movie!
Wang Tao also made a name for himself in the domestic film and television industry with the movie "Sword of the Sword", and his status has also changed. It is also much easier to recruit actors.

Perhaps because he inherited the style of director Xiangjiang, Wang Tao shoots the film very fast. The new film also took two months to shoot, and now he is intensively doing post-production.

"Wang Tao, you have worked hard during this time!"

In a somewhat luxuriously decorated office, the most attractive thing is the oil painting of the seven wolves hanging on the wall, which was made by someone.

Holding a cigarette in his hand, Li Xiangbei looked at Wang Tao who was sitting opposite him with a smile on his face.

Wang Tao's hair is a bit long, like the hairstyle of Brother Haonan who hasn't washed his hair for a week. He also holds a cigarette in his hand. Judging from the degree of yellowing of his fingernails, he is also an old smoker.

"It's not hard, I enjoy this process very much." Wang Tao's smile was a little shy. If he hadn't seen Wang Tao's strictness during the filming period, Li Xiangbei would have no way to regard the two different images as one person. of.

"It's not hard work, you haven't showered for days, I can smell you even when I'm smoking, today you can't go to Tangting culture anymore no matter what you say!"

Strictly speaking, Beixue Film Company is a leather bag company. The boss, Li Xiangbei, also has a secretary. Although there are people in the finance department and the film department, in fact, these people are just for show, the real core The employee is the director Wang Tao.

At this time, Beixue Film Company is a bit like the early New Screen, the boss Zhang Weiping, the director Zhang Yimou, and then nothing else.

It is naturally impossible for such a company to have its own editing room, so Beixue Film Company put its own film editing in Tangting Culture. Anyway, Tangting Culture has now started the business of undertaking film editing for outside film companies.

As long as you pay, you can use their company's editing room. If the other party does not have an editor, you can also arrange an editor for the other party.

However, as a film director, Wang Tao prefers to completely control his films.

This is also Wang Tao's luck. If he had made his debut in Hollywood, he would definitely not have received such treatment.

Wang Tao laughed and said, "It's okay, the movie will be edited soon, and I'll be there in a few days."

Li Xiangbei shook his head, and said: "Today, even if you say that the sky is broken, it won't work well, you must have a good rest, by the way, there is a bathhouse not far from our company, let's take a bath first after get off work , and then I will take you to have a big meal, and go to work tomorrow!"

Wang Tao said quickly: "Mr. Li, I really don't need it!"

"You are the boss, and I am the boss, so this is settled!" Li Xiangbei said seriously.

Wang Tao had no choice but to agree: "Okay, but it can only be today!"

Li Xiangbei then smiled and said, "That's right!"

"Yes, have you seen Director Wu at Tangting Culture during this time?" Li Xiangbei continued to ask.

Wang Tao shook his head, and said regretfully, "No, I heard that Director Wu seldom goes to Tangting Building. He always works on the third floor next to Tangting Building."

Li Xiangbei continued to ask curiously: "He won't check the post-editing of the movie "Eternal Night"?"

Wang Tao said with a smile: "I heard people from Tangting Culture say that director Wu's films are also edited in the editing room on the third floor, and he doesn't go to Tangting Building at all. He only goes to Tangting Building when he is inspecting Tangting's special effects."

"It's really a pity, I still want to get to know Director Wu!" Li Xiangbei said regretfully, the film market is slowly expanding, and the cakes in it are also slowly getting bigger. It can be said that Tangting culture is now The film company that occupies the most of this cake in China.

Li Xiangbei also wants to meet Wu Jianye and learn from him!

At this time, Li Xiangbei's positioning of his company was very accurate, that is, to gain a firm foothold in this industry now, and he never thought about Hetangting's cultural competition at all.

Wang Tao showed a very rare confident smile at this time, and said, "Sooner or later, there will be a chance!"

"Yes, I believe you!"

Looking at the time, it was already past five o'clock in the evening, Li Xiangbei said with a smile: "Let's go, let's take a bath first."

Wang Tao didn't say anything, followed Li Xiangbei up and walked out of Li Xiangbei's office.

Li Xiangbei's car is the latest luxury version of Tesla. This is a new car that Li Xiangbei bought this year. It was bought to celebrate when the movie "Sword and Wind" was drawn.

In the past two years, Tesla has emerged as a new force among domestic luxury models, mainly due to the fact that Zhao Lei and other rich people in Yanjing basically have fixed Tesla models when they travel.

This has also caused other rich people to follow suit. Although they still cannot compare with the luxury cars of overseas brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, they have at least opened up the market.

Li Xiangbei, as a rich man in the early 90s, has the characteristics of a rich man in this era. He is a good-looking man, with a bold temperament on the outside and a delicate heart.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have won over Wang Tao like this.

Now that the two of them are going to take a shower, Li Xiangbei actually drives the car himself, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

After lighting the car, Li Xiangbei turned on the radio casually.

It has now entered December, and the atmosphere of New Year's Day is getting stronger and stronger. Even the radio is talking about New Year's Day. In fact, this is something that has only happened in the past two years.

"New Year's Day is coming soon. I believe everyone is thinking about where to go during the New Year's Day. Today, the Voice of Traffic will tell you about the places you can go to during the New Year's Day."

The sweet voice of the hostess came from the radio.

While driving the car, Li Xiangbei smiled and said, "I didn't expect that New Year's Day would be soon, Taozi, we have known each other for a year and a half, right?"

Wang Tao sat on the co-pilot, lit a cigarette habitually, and said, "Yes, if you hadn't admired Mr. Li, I would still be working as a director of a TV station now!"

"I believe in your ability, even without me, you will definitely become a well-known director!" Li Xiangbei laughed.

Wang Tao smiled unaccustomedly, and said nothing.

"By the way, our movie is about to be edited. When will it be released?" Li Xiangbei asked casually.

Wang Tao said: "I think it will be released at the end of the month!"

"That's good. On New Year's Day, it's still a holiday. More people will definitely go to the cinema!" Li Xiangbei thought the same way.

But at this time, the sweet anchor's voice came from the radio: ".Actually, if you can't go out due to work, there are many good places to go. For example, "Eternal Night" directed by Wu Jianye will be released this year. It will be released during New Year's Day, everyone can go to the cinema to watch this movie, the movie with the largest investment in the history of our country!"

"Wu Jianye's "Eternal Night" is also released at this time?" Li Xiangbei looked at Wang Tao in surprise.

Wang Tao shook his head, and said in a daze, "I don't know, I've been staying in the editing room recently, and I haven't actually had much contact with people from Tangting Culture."

Li Xiangbei fell into deep thought, if his company's movie was released together with Wu Jianye's movie, it would be really troublesome!

Thinking about something in his heart, he lit a cigarette for himself a little bored, then opened the car window, and when he flicked the ash, he saw the poster of the movie "Eternal Night" appearing on the bus stop sign
The depression in Li Xiangbei's heart became even stronger.
