Reborn as the richest man in India

"Looking at your accent, you're not from Mumbai, right?" We chatted a few more words on the way, and Qiaogo realized that the other party should be from other states. Although it was in Hindi, some words were pronounced a little differently. You can hear it.

"Yes, I am from Hyderabad. I just came to Mumbai a few days ago, and I will transfer to school here." The girl replied.

Hyderabad, later the capital of Telangana state.

However, it still belongs to Andhra Pradesh. It was not until December 10, 2009 that it was separated from Andhra Pradesh and a new state, Telangana, was established.

"My name is Jogo Gupta." Jogo introduced himself.

When Qiao Ge revealed her name, he paid special attention to the change in the girl's expression, but he was disappointed because the girl didn't change at all.

Not long ago, newspapers reported a lot on me, especially the Xingang land incident, which made me very popular.

Qiao Ge thought that he was somewhat famous in Mumbai. Even if he didn't know him, he would usually be able to react when he heard his name.

"Maybe it's because I just came to Mumbai. I don't know what's normal." Qiao Ge found a reason in his mind for the other party's lack of response.

The girl brought him in front and didn't even notice Qiaogo's thoughts. After hearing this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "My name is Tapu Hami."

"Tapu, your name is so nice." Qiao Ge followed her words and praised, but as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed, "Tapu?!"

Qiao Ge suddenly raised his voice, which startled Tapu. She turned around and stared at Qiao Ge and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"No~~ It's nothing. I just think that if you are named this, you will definitely become a big star in the future." Qiao Ge said hurriedly.

"Nonsense, what does this have to do with the name? Big star, I hope so. My idol is Sister Desire Daiyu. If one day I can play a small role in her movie, even if it is only one scene, it will be great. Ah." Tapu didn't think much and said with a smile.

Qiao Ge couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he had lost his composure.

No wonder I thought she looked familiar when I saw her for the first time. It turned out to be Tapu, a big Bollywood star whom I knew in her previous life and was known as the 'most beautiful inspector general'. But she was already in her 40s at that time. , and now she is still a girl.

It is true that you can meet big stars when you come to Bollywood, whether they are current or future stars, you will have the opportunity.

Qiao Ge thought that he should visit here more in the future and have more beautiful encounters.

Then her sister is Fuli Hami, who is two years older than her.

Tapu entered the film industry due to the influence of her elder sister.

When she goes to the set to see her sister, she sometimes plays small roles in movies.

Fuli Hami has been in Bollywood for a few years and now has a certain degree of popularity. She cannot be called a big star, but she can be regarded as a popular little girl.

Therefore, for her sake, everyone naturally takes good care of their younger sister Tapu.

No wonder Tapu said he could take people like him in. It turned out to be such a connection.

If her sister was really an ordinary actress, who would give her face?

However, Tapu seemed to be a box office poison in the early stage. After years of hard work, she became one of the most popular female stars in Bollywood.

Qiao Ge didn't think much about it. As long as he is willing, he believes that box office poison will not be a problem in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly look at the girl next to him.

Speaking of which, Qiao Ge discovered that he and Tapu were the same age, they were both 16 years old now.

When they came to a small door, Tapu said a few words to the guard, and Qiao Ge and others passed through smoothly.

"Ah, Tapu is here. Who are those behind you? You look like you have a good body shape. Do you want to try to be an extra and play a gang member? There is also this classmate. There happens to be a high school student in the play. He is paid half a day. 3 rupees, are you interested?" Suddenly a staff member held a notebook in his hand. When he saw Qiao Ge and the others coming, he couldn't help shouting.

"Would you like to give it a try?" Tapu stared at Qiao Ge with squinted eyes. "If the director takes notice, maybe I can play more roles and become a star in the future."

Qiao Ge probably understood what Tapu meant. In her opinion, she should be a child of an ordinary family.

If you can make movies, it will definitely be a good career and the income will be considerable. If you become famous, not to mention, it will take off directly. Even across castes, Dalit stars can also marry Brahmin wives.

This is one of the few industries that can change your destiny.

However, the wages of this group of actors are indeed low everywhere, but for the sake of their dreams, for the dream of becoming a big star, even if they have little money, there are still many people who insist on working as extras here, looking forward to the future.

Floating horizontally.

Qiao Ge didn't see his classmates here. They should be in other studios.

There's nothing wrong with being an extra. You just need to experience it yourself, so he agreed.

As for Rhodes and the others, their duty is to protect Qiao Ge. How can they become some kind of extras, especially some kind of gang members? This is completely inconsistent with their upright image. In what way do they look like gang members?

So he decisively refused.

The man didn't say anything, the extras were easy to find.

This drama tells the story of a rich upper-caste girl who breaks through the obstacles of family society and finally lives happily with her lower-caste lover.

Bullshit, right?

This type of film is almost popular in India at this time.

The lower castes turn over, the poor defeat the rich, etc., which satisfy the spiritual needs of the lower castes or poor people.

Therefore, the movies of this period are regarded as low-level taste in India by the poor people with low cultural level.

The middle class and elite are no longer interested in these. In addition, the middle class can afford TV sets, so they generally don’t go to movie theaters to watch them.

And now Indian cinemas often have one hall and one screen. If there are a large number of people, thousands of people can watch movies together.

Even if there are some so-called boxes, it will still be affected and the movie-watching experience will be poor.

This makes wealthy people even less willing to go to the cinema.

Until the mid-to-late 1990s, movies were no longer in the traditional style of low-class heroes making a comeback. Instead, they were based on the love life of the middle and upper classes, imitating Hollywood's big productions, and achieved great success.

Bollywood films in particular began to rapidly gentrify themselves to cater to middle-class audiences.

The movie has grand scenes and uses major stars to show the life and romantic love stories of the middle class and even the upper class.

The transformation of movie types was successful, but the environment of traditional cinemas was not good. Later, multiplex cinemas appeared. It was no longer a cinema, a hall, and a screen.

Instead, a cinema is divided into several screening rooms and multiple screens, which can make the environment more comfortable and attract middle- and upper-class audiences to come and watch.

Regarding movie theaters, Qiao Ge certainly knows that today’s traditional movie theaters are outdated, but the cost of building a new multiplex movie theater is too high, and he cannot afford it now.

Even in the previous life, traditional single-screen cinemas in India still occupied a large market.

Therefore, his current strategy of acquiring traditional movie theaters is no problem. Besides, he will also choose movie theaters with good locations. Even if the movie theater is demolished in the future, the income from rising land prices will allow him to make a lot of money.

Closer to home, Qiao Ge plays the role of a passerby high school student. He is chased by gang members because he unintentionally broke into the drug trade. The protagonist at the bottom appears and saves him, showing the protagonist's righteous image, and then there is a fight.

The plot is very simple. Qiao Ge mainly wants to run, or run, to escape the pursuit of gang members.

"What does it smell like?" Immediately after Qiao Ge agreed to be an extra, a makeup artist smeared something sticky on his face. It smelled terrible.

"Don't move, it's the mud on your face or something~~" the makeup artist said.

What else could he say that he could only be at their mercy now? He suspected that the mud that was applied to him might actually be mud dug out of some smelly ditch. The smell was too strong.

Qiao Ge saw Tapu walking aside and chatting with a woman wearing colorful clothes. That should be her sister Fuli Hami, the heroine of this drama. The two sisters still look a bit alike, huh? , my sister is more mature.

"Ka~~ Let's do it again. Let me tell you, this classmate, can you run faster? You haven't eaten or something? Are you weak?"

"Ka~~ No, no, no, try again."

…

"Tapu, the small group of actors you hired are not suitable for the movie industry." Fuli said a little speechlessly as she watched Qiaogo run away again and again, and then be shouted "Ka" again and again.

Tapu's face was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that Qiao Ge's acting skills were really bad. It seemed that he had no hope in the film industry.

"He's not an actor in the first place." Tapu defended in a low voice.

Fuli smiled and said nothing.

Qiao Ge was so tired that he was panting. He felt like he was going to collapse. He had run back and forth more than a dozen times and exercised strenuously, which was a bit too much.

Sure enough, no industry is that easy.

"For the last time, if it doesn't work, I'll replace you..."

Qiao Ge cheered up and prepared to act again. What are you talking about? Could it be that he couldn't even act in one scene?

Are you looking down on yourself?

Just when he rushed out again, his eyes went dark, the world began to spin, and he fell directly to the ground, unconscious.

Rhodes and others hurried over.

"Quick, quick, quick, this is hypoglycemia, someone make some sugar water." An experienced person saw Qiao Ge's face and shouted hurriedly.

After Tapu heard this, he immediately ran to make sugar water.

Rhodes and the others also saw Qiaogo's symptoms, and they were relieved.

"Are you awake?" Seeing that Qiao Ge had woken up, Tapu couldn't help but asked hurriedly.

She was the one who brought him here. When she saw Qiao Ge fainting due to low blood sugar, she felt very sorry. She was the one who fed Qiao Ge sugar water just now.

In fact, Qiao Ge was in a coma for a while. He knew about hypoglycemia and was immediately embarrassed.

I originally thought that skipping breakfast would make me feel weak, but I didn't expect that the fast running just now consumed too much. In addition, I didn't eat much for dinner last night, so my stomach was empty, so I couldn't do anything.

"I'm fine, I'm much better now." Qiao Ge said hurriedly.

"Tapu, take him outside to get some air, it's a bit stuffy here." Fuli came over and said.

"Okay. Let me help you go outside." Tapu said, the air here is indeed not good.

"Here are 3 rupees. For the sake of your hard work, the director will count you half a day's work." An employee came over and stuffed 3 rupees into Qiaogo's hand.

Qiao Ge was stunned for a moment, and he made money. In fact, when he took over the job just now, he didn't think about wages. This crew is quite kind.

"Even though the director is very fierce when filming, he is actually quite nice." Tapu said, "Take it."

After leaving the studio, Qiao Ge couldn't help but take a deep breath and almost fully recovered.

Hypoglycemia will not be a big problem as long as you supplement sugar.

Tapu still stuffed two pieces of candy into Qiaogo's hand and said, "If you still feel unwell, eat some candy."

"Thank you." Qiao Ge wanted to say that he was really fine, but he still took it.

"Oh, what, what are you doing as an extra? There is no heroine's scene today. I thought I could see a big star, but I was looking forward to it in vain."

"There are many leading actresses in other studios. The one in front seems to be the latest movie that Fuli Hami is filming. It would be great if it has her signature."

"Isn't it Fuli Hami's autograph? I can even get a photo for you. Even if you want a date to have some excitement, it's not impossible hehe~~"

"That's right, just because of your movie theaters, the big directors here have to give you face."

"It's not from my family, it's from my uncle."

"What's the difference? We're a family."

Suddenly, four people walked out from behind the green trees at the corner ahead, their voices were obscene and the content was unbearable.

Tapu's little face instantly became ugly. Someone was insulting his sister behind her back.

Qiao Ge squinted his eyes and saw that he was an acquaintance, wasn't he his classmate?

They were each wearing different shabby public high school uniforms, matching each other, and the leader was a fat man.

It’s the fat man who mocked Qiaogo at the beginning of the book.

What a coincidence, the fat man's uncle is Duda Gaoha.

There are more than 100 cinemas in Mumbai, and none of them are multiplexes now. Gauharga has 25 cinemas in Mumbai, accounting for nearly a quarter, and is considered a giant in local cinemas.

The number of seats in most cinemas is around 500, and 800 is considered large. These cinemas in Gauharga are considered large.

Each cinema has more than 800 seats, and the largest one can accommodate 1,500 people watching movies at the same time. In addition, these cinemas are basically in city centers or prosperous areas, which have a great impact on the local film market.

Therefore, the relationship between Bollywood filmmakers and Gauharga is naturally close. After all, the films produced need to be shown in cinemas.

The fat man's father is responsible for the operation of several gold shops in the center of Mumbai in Gauhar. With the help of his uncle, he is a billionaire. This boy is considered a famous figure in school. At a young age, he is full of all kinds of poisons. He is usually surrounded by many friends who are fawning over him. With.

"Huh? Beauty, what's your name? Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

"Who is that ugly guy next to you? He can't be your boyfriend, right? That's too tasteless."

Qiao Ge's face was still stained with mud, but of course it was dry now.

Because the dried mud clung to his face, it obscured his appearance. It looked a bit oozing, and Fatty and the others didn't recognize him for a while.
