Chapter 56 Part-time work is impossible

Spring is here, and it is the season of recovery and mating of all things.

Xiao Bing bought a meal and a dish in the cafeteria, and chose a seat near the door, watching the beauties coming in and out, he felt very relaxed and happy.

Every time you look at a beautiful woman, you eat a mouthful of food, hey, this is called beauty.

When he thought that he had been admitted to university for more than half a year, and faced with so many beauties in the school, he couldn't even find a match, so he couldn't help feeling sad.

All the beautiful seniors belong to the seniors. The girls of the same class are either too young or have been hooked up by the seniors. If they want to find a partner, they will have to wait half a year until those pretty juniors enroll...

Xiao Bing returned to the dormitory after finishing his meal. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yu wearing a suit and applying pomade to her hair flamboyantly.

He sighed, this guy is dressed like this, he probably will have another girl tonight.

And he can only rely on his hands, people are more popular than people.

"Are you going out on a date again?"

"No, I'm going to a party."

"Are you dating after the party?"

Jiang Yu looked at him contemptuously, you are a coward full of women, how do you know what your master wants in life.

Xiao Bing returned a contemptuous look, do you think I believe it?
At the end of March, "Crazy Stone" has been released.

In this Lunar New Year file, the box office champion is naturally "Fearless", which grossed a total of [-] million at the box office, and it will be screened in the United States.

Ranked second is the low-budget "Crazy Stone", which reached a box office of 3000 and [-] million.

For domestic films, this is simply a miracle.

Han Sanpin specially booked the Jianguo Hotel and invited the main creative members to celebrate together.

At the banquet, Ning Hao was as happy as a grandson, holding a wine glass in his hand, and smirked when he saw anyone, with the corners of his mouth grinning to the back of his head.

Han Sanpin had promised him before that the box office of "Crazy Stone" would be the investment for his next movie.

Now that "Crazy Stone" has grossed 200 million at the box office, Han Sanpin is both happy and worried.

The good news is that "Crazy Stone" has opened up a new idea for domestic low-cost movies:

We don't know how to tell stories, but foreign directors can, so why not copy them.

Isn't "Crazy Stone" just an imitation of "Two Smoking Barrels", we can also make (chao) such low-cost genre films!

So after "Crazy Stone" became popular, domestic film companies invested in shooting a batch of low-cost films that imitated foreign genre films, as if they had found the code of wealth.

The final outcome is that the group is wiped out, and none of them catch fire.

Of course, that's another story.

What worries Han Sanpin now is, is he really going to invest 3000 million in Ning Hao?
With an investment of 3000 million, it will take a box office of [-] million to recover the cost.

This is too risky too.

But if he didn't fulfill the contract, wouldn't he lose face as the head of the Chinese movie industry?

Jiang Yu is so smart, he immediately shared the big brother's worries.

"Director Ning's next movie, we can make a Crazy Stone 2, how about bringing me an investment?"

Huang Bai said: "You are rich now, and you are addicted to investing in movies."

"He's rich," Sun Honglei said, "Now this kid is a local tyrant, and we all work for him."

Huang Bai said: "That's right, I played Hei Pi and even got into the sewer, and all the benefits belong to this kid."

Several people laughed and made a fuss.

Although it is a joke, many truths can often only be said in jokes.

For a piece of "Crazy Stone", the big guy worked hard for two months, and Sun Honglei got a salary of [-] yuan, which is not a lot.

But what about Cork?

Not to mention the exploding acting skills, and suffered a lot, in the end, he only made a few thousand dollars, while Jiang Yu made hundreds of thousands with his backhand.

Such a return on investment makes them too unwilling.

But we are all brothers, just kidding, but we can't really express our dissatisfaction.

Jiang Yu also knew that she was prone to anger, and said with a smile: "Let's just talk about the truth. In our great dynasty, labor can only make ends meet. If you want to get rich, you have to invest. You know why the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer." Are you richer?"

Several people shook their heads in unison. Jiang Yu said, "It's because the rate of return on investment is much higher than the rate of return on labor. If you work for others, the money you earn is the boss's. It's better to be your own boss."

"Tsk," Ning Hao took it seriously, and pulled Jiang Yu to touch one.

He wrote the script of "Crazy Stone", and he made the movie, but he only earned a little director's fee, and all the profits were taken by Andy Lau, Han Sanpin and Jiang Yu.

Han Sanpin smiled slightly, "Xiaojiang's words affect the unity. Work does not distinguish between high and low, it is all for art."

"Hahaha," Jiang Yu laughed and stood up to toast, "Yes, yes, it's all for art, I'm just talking nonsense, for the sake of art, I toast to the third master."

Han Sanpin accepted the glass of wine with a smile.

He has also turned this corner now, and Ning Hao has become a favorite, even if he wants to monopolize this piece of fat, others will not be happy.

After the banquet was over, everyone sent away Han Sanpin and a few idlers, leaving only Jiang Yu, Ning Hao, Sun Honglei, and Huang Bai.

Everyone is not stupid. Everyone actually listened to what Jiang Yu said in the meeting that seemed to be a joke.

Especially cork.

His biggest dream in the past was to be famous. When he became a big star, he always felt that if he was famous, he would be rich.

After meeting Jiang Yu, he realized, damn it, there is another way to play the movie.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but it was Jiang Yu. The brothers watched him walk from the security guard to today, so they can still let him go.

A few people went to Sanlitun to find a KTV, and Jiang Yu ran to the karaoke station to flip through the songs, wanting to see if his "Old Boy" was available.

Sun Honglei ordered a few bottles of wine, and then with a wave of his hand, several beautiful girls in short black silk skirts came in, and it seemed that this guy was a regular customer.

Why do you call me a girl?
Everyone is rich and famous, you can't expect them to look at me and you when they talk about things, can you?

It's like never asking the old horse if he will cheat, because you can't expect the old horse to talk business with the big guys and go back to the hotel to fuck yourself.

Several people divided up a girl, looked at each other, and reached a consensus that this kid must be squeezed dry tonight.

Ning Hao put his arms around a girl and asked, "Old Yu, you have a lot of thoughts, let me hear what you think?"

Jiang Yu looked through the repertoire for a long time, but couldn't find "Old Boy", so she turned around and said, "I think these film companies are too nonsense now. If you have talent, you can start your own company."

"Collect some money, start a film company, and then use the written script to attract investment. Everyone's interests are shared, and you don't have to be greedy for box office revenue."

"Then you have to pay?" Huang Bai asked.

Jiang Yu smiled: "If you're afraid of losing money, then why do you invest in it? Working part-time is the safest."

Huang Bai immediately shut up.

What Jiang Yu said is actually the practice of those film and television companies in later generations, which is not new at all.

It's just that at this time, capital has not yet entered the film and television industry on a large scale, and those directors and stars have not yet completed the original capital accumulation, and their brains have not turned around this corner, so this approach is not popular.

Many directors and stars still think of working as workers, they only want to make certain money, and they don't want to take risks.

Zhang Guoli and others, who were the first to eat crabs, have already made a lot of money by investing in classic dramas such as "The Private Interview of Kangxi Weifu" and "Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth".

"It's just a word, give it a try, a bicycle will turn into a motorcycle, take a gamble, and a motorcycle will turn into a jeep." Jiang Yu summed it up.

Huang Bai smacked and felt that Jiang Yu was full of flirtatious words, but it seemed to make sense.

Sun Honglei was bold and gambled heavily. After listening to Jiang Yu's words, it seemed that the door to a new world had been opened, and he had an idea.

It's just that he and Jiang Yu, Ning Hao and others are not in the same group, so they didn't speak.

He has other patrons.

Ning Hao hugged the girl, his hands were not idle, and his mind was running fast.

If you change to another director, you may really have to weigh it.

After all, if the money is in your pocket and you invest it, what if you lose it?
But he is different, he is still very confident in himself.

And they are not short of investment - Han Sanpin has promised, the investment of 3000 million is a little bit hanging, it is no problem to ask him to invest 1000 million with the script.

After Ning Hao thought about it, he slapped the girl on the thigh, "That's it!"
