Rebirth of the Southern Drift Era

Chapter 418

"The film and television industry is making a lot of money now? I see that the Shonan Film and Television Company you run makes only one or two movies a year. How does it make money?"

During the reunion dinner together, Lao Zhang remembered something and asked Liu Chang about it.

Lao Zhang, Liu Chang's film and television company, still knows a little bit. After all, wherever his real estate is developed, the theaters of Shonan Film and Television will open there.

In many cases, it is because the occupancy rate of the new community is not high at the beginning.Few people went to see the newly opened theaters, and they didn't know how Liu Chang made money.

"It's okay, the theater chain is actually not bad. More and more people have entered the theater these years. Now those companies that don't have their own theater chain want to enter this area, but every step is slow."

After hearing this, Liu Chang replied with a smile, the theater chain is a long-term business, and generally a few percent of the attendance rate can make money.I have planned for so many years in advance, and now in China, no company has more theaters than myself, and it also occupies the best geographical and population resource area.

This is the advantage. The Wanda companies that later followed into the theater chain are much worse than Shonan Film and Television in this respect.

In terms of movies, it's even better.Make one or two movies a year, and one movie can earn tens of millions of dollars, which is better than doing anything else.

In recent years, among the top ten box office in the mainland, there are always one or two films invested by Shonan Film and Television, and many films have exceeded [-] million.For Shonan Film and Television, these are almost enough.

And because of word-of-mouth, moviegoers in China will basically win a lot of tap water as long as they see Shonan Films and Television's movies released.

Although I haven't seen Shonan Film and Television launch its own large-scale production movies for the time being, small-budget films have always been conscientious works, which has accumulated a lot of experience for Shonan Film and Television.

Next, Shonan Film and Television will start to launch large-scale productions one after another. However, due to some reasons, some films cannot be produced even if they want to.

This is a very strange phenomenon, Liu Chang didn't quite understand it, but he had to do what the leader said.Because the authority is in the hands of the leader, if the leader says he wants a whip, then whip it, if the leader says he wants to kneel and lick, then he has to kneel and lick.

Liu Chang can choose not to do it, so there is no need to compromise.If he wants to do it, he can only stand up and make money as much as possible under the deterrence of the leader. He won't do things like kneeling and licking!

This reminded Liu Chang of a movie he had seen before, "Let the Bullets Fly for a while", a very cool movie, which clearly satirized some people.It's a pity that after Lao Jiang's movie, there seems to be nothing going on.

"I heard that you will make some big-budget movies in the future? Do you need capital investment?"

Lao Zhang chatted with Liu Chang to ask this. Now that the domestic film market is developing rapidly, Lao Zhang also sees opportunities in the middle.

Liu Chang said that there will not be much to do in real estate in the future, so Lao Zhang is also thinking about starting to slowly transform. Anyway, this cycle is still long enough for him to slowly transform.These will be left to the two grandchildren in the future, it depends on what Liu Chang thinks.

But for Liu Chang's vision, Lao Zhang still believes very much, and the investment over the years is just like this.

For example, in terms of venture capital, Lao Zhang just set up a fund, and then followed Liu Chang to operate it.This is still being taken care of by Zhang Xue, and it feels a bit left-handed and right-handed.

In front of his two grandchildren, Lao Zhang is still very willing, as if he is ready to give up all his family property to his daughter and two grandchildren.Liu Chang has no interest in his own things, this has always been the case.

"The current film investment risk is still very high. Wait for two years. This is also the reason why the number of films invested by Shonan Film and Television is not large. It is expensive, not many, but the audience's taste will eventually change, and some things are more difficult to predict. .”

When Lao Zhang entered the film and television industry, Liu Chang did not agree.It is enough to set up a Shonan film and television by myself, and the income from this thing is actually not much.Many things look dazzling, but after deducting the cost and various expenses, there are not many.

Wait a few more years, when the box office will be billions or billions at every turn, then it will be the best opportunity to enter.If you have yourself in the front to cultivate the market and popularity, it will be much easier to operate later.

At that time, Liu Chang will take out a few movies with a box office of more than one billion that are deeply remembered by later generations, and then carefully create them. It will be much easier to make money.

Weng and son-in-law drank some wine while chatting, and Liu Chang became drunk and couldn't stand it anymore.In terms of drinking capacity, Liu Chang has never made much progress.

The two of them drank the glutinous rice wine at home, the alcohol content was not high, but even so, they still drank Liu Chang in a daze.

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, Liu Chang paid New Year's greetings to Lao Zhang and his wife, and then had breakfast together, then drove to the countryside to pay New Year's greetings to his parents and participate in some activities in the village.

"Liu Chang, the Zhang Tao brothers are going back to work in the brigade. It's not that you didn't get along with each other at the beginning. The two brothers did something sorry for you. Their parents came to me and asked me if I could let the help speak. stay in the village?"

After the first day of the new year, Liu Hu found Liu Chang, and then asked a little embarrassed.This matter was actually a bit embarrassing, because he knew that Liu Chang and Zhang Tao probably didn't take Zhang Tao and brother to heart.

But Zhang Tao's parents came over and made Liu Hu feel that he still had to tell Liu Chang about this matter, lest there be anything wrong when he got it, and he would be embarrassed.

"They think too much, they just want to go home and do things. It's just a trivial matter to me. In the end, it's them who didn't get the good. Why do I stare at their brothers? "

To be honest, Liu Hu didn't mention this matter. In fact, Liu Chang had almost forgotten about the two brothers, and maybe he would remember something when they met.

However, after so many years, I have become an unattainable object in the eyes of Zhang Tao brothers, and I rarely see each other.Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Chang to think about the little things in the past all the time, it seems too immeasurable.

"I told their parents the same way before. If I knew this was the case, why bother. If the two of them didn't have so many troubles back then, they would probably be the same as Wang Li in Wangjiawan now. They are both big bosses now."

To be honest, Liu Hu looked down on some members of their brigade, including Zhang Tao's two brothers.Short-sighted, just focus on the little benefits in front of you, step on others when they are not doing well, and want to curry favor with others when they are doing well.

The Zhang Tao brothers had a good relationship with Liu Chang at the beginning, if they knew how to be human, Liu Chang would definitely bring them to make a fortune together, and still use the same as now?
The brothers and their wives were both married from other provinces. Last year, Zhang Tao's wife had a fight with Zhang Tao every day because Zhang Tao didn't earn much, and she was always thinking about the little money Zhang Tao's parents had in the brigade.

And Zhang Bin's wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so they quarreled with each other. Anyway, the house is a mess.This is also the reason why the Zhang Tao brothers want to go home. They work at home and earn more than outside.

The important thing is that the cost of doing things at home is much less.You don't need to rent a house, and your daily expenses are low, so you can save more money.The two brothers were also able to endure it, and they persisted until now before they bent down to intercede with Liu Chang.

"Hehe, some things are in the past, and it's meaningless to talk about it. But you still tell them that if you can earn money in the same brigade in the future, if you can still think like before, the brigade will not tolerate the two brothers. , that's none of my business."

Liu Chang replied with a smile, he didn't expect that he seemed to be a powerful figure in the brigade now, and he didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

Only my parents have not changed much in this regard, even borrowing money.In the past, the family had no money, and no one asked Liu Chang's family to borrow money.

Now that Liu Chang's family is rich, no one has come to borrow money from Liu Chang's parents.Because they knew they would not be able to borrow money if they came here, Liu Chang would rather donate money to build a school or something than lend money to others casually.

Some people in the village who really need it will make donations, but borrowing money will not work.Relatives are not counted, but Liu Chang's relatives are doing well now, and there is no need to borrow money from Liu Chang's family.

"Well, after the Chinese New Year, I'm going to go to the town to work, and the brigade will elect a new branch secretary. What do you think?"

This is the main reason why Liu Hu came to find Liu Chang. He was transferred to the town to upgrade, and he had a lot of rights.Liu Hu has been in the brigade for a long time, and it is impossible for the higher-ups to let him continue to do it, and he may become a village tyrant by then.

And Liu Hu is not like the branch secretary of a certain big village. He has been doing the work of the behind-the-scenes boss in the village, and he is not enough.After all, there is still Brother Liu Chang, and these two brothers are the masters behind the scenes.

So Liu Hu thought for a while, and felt that it would be better for him to work in the town. After all, he was promoted and his salary was much better.He can get the salary of the brigade, why not go to work in the town.

"Think about it for yourself as the branch secretary of the brigade. It is best to find someone who is responsible and not greedy. Others, even if the ability is not good, our brigade will not be far behind."

As long as the current conditions of the brigade are stable, there will be basically no problem.I'm afraid that some people are thinking about profiting, and it will be troublesome to lead the brigade to the wrong place.

"Besides, I think it's good for you to be the top leader in the town and then retire in the city. Going up further will not do you any good, and you won't be able to bear it."

To be honest, even if he is the top leader in the town, it is hard to say whether Liu Hu can do it.His cultural level is short block, great influence.

If he went any further, he would definitely not be able to do it.Liu Hu graduated from high school to serve as a soldier, but now the top encourages college students to enter the grassroots, and the quality of cadres is also required to be high, so it is really difficult for Liu Hu to go up.

"Well, I know this. I'm very satisfied to be the number one in the town, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy. I can rest assured about the brigade. After all, I'm still in charge of the town, and the group of people in the brigade can't make trouble. Where are you going?"

After hearing this, Liu Hu smiled and replied, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, Brother Liu Chang is still there, as long as his mind is not stupid, the person who succeeds him will dare to mess around.

Whether it's in the brigade or in the town, the changes over the years have been brought about by brothers Liu Chang. Whoever speaks to the brigade in the town has more appeal, and the people around know it well, and so do the people in the brigade.

In addition, the current brigade is different from before. The cadres are all young cadres, and there are many people who have retired from the army. Their thinking, character, and ability to handle affairs are much stronger than before.

"I forgot to tell you about some things before, but recently I found some signs, you should pay attention, this has a great impact."

Liu Hu sat at Liu Chang's house for a while and was about to leave. Liu Chang remembered some things he saw during the Chinese New Year, and reminded Liu Hu, because these things were not very good.

One is that some young people in the brigade are showing signs of being a little messy now. Their living conditions are better, and they always like to show off on motorcycles and walk with some dubious people around them.

Many of those people were thieves and troublemakers in the southern province, and they even sucked money.If you get close to these people, those young people will have problems sooner or later. This is something Liu Chang is very worried about.

Because this kind of thing happened in the previous life.For a long time, Liu Chang's town and brigade were very nervous, for fear that their children would get involved.

The other thing is gambling. Whether it is the people in the brigade or the people in the town, their income is much higher than before, and the gambling has become more and more serious.

Sangong and Jinhua are all one hundred and one hundred.If you don't move, you will win or lose tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. This phenomenon is very bad. If you don't make adjustments in time, there will definitely be troubles.

In addition to this, there is also a buy horse.No one in Liu Chang's brigade is in the village, but there are people nearby who are doing this, and then attracting people around them to do it, which has a great impact.

"We have noticed all these, and we will focus on catching them starting this year. Not only will the brigade catch them, but a series of cleaning operations will start in the town and city."

After listening to Liu Chang's words, Liu Hua replied with a smile.He wasn't trying to perfunctory Liu Chang, but the city really had this notice, and both the town and the brigade received it.

The current city is not what it used to be. For the sake of the city's environment, the leaders have been paying attention to these.In the early years, going south to work made many people rich, and also led many young people to a detour.

After these people returned home, they brought the young people in the family to ruin.These things, whether in the city or in the town, have found signs, not just Liu Chang.

"Well, that's fine, a small gamble is fun, and it's good to play with friends and family. If you gamble too much, it won't work, prodigal."

Liu Chang's family sometimes sit together and play cards and mahjong, but the bets are not large.Even though the two brothers are now on the rich list in China, they still have no intention of betting big.

Because they know it's not good, betting on this stuff is addictive.Once the bet is opened, it is easy to win and lose big, so people in the Liu family basically don't play too much.And most of the time, it was the Liu Chang brothers who gave benefits to their families, because they both lost and hadn't won much.
