Big players in the film and television world

Chapter 217: Magic City and His Group

On December 12th, in the magic capital, the cold wind had already blown, and the temperature between the sky and the earth dropped rapidly.

In the early morning, Suning yawned and was taken to the entrance of the community by a military vehicle. After getting off the vehicle, his face was full of exhaustion, but his face was somewhat smug, because he had already established a friendly relationship with the official, which would be of great help to him as a director in the future. The road is still a bit beneficial.

That's what happened.

On December 12, the leader of the recruitment agency, one of the official agencies in Shanghai, contacted Suning directly through connections and said that he wanted to make a promotional video about enlistment this year to motivate recruits. He wanted him to help with the filming. I wonder if he would be willing?
The leader's words were tactful, but his tone could not be objected to. After all, Suning is a native of Modu, and it is impossible for him to have a bad relationship with the official organization, not to mention that this is also a matter of face, so he readily agreed.

This is not to say that Suning is so prosperous, but that he has a good relationship with the official organization, which will benefit him and not harm him in making movies in the future.

What's more, the place where the producer of "The Spy Movie" asked Suning and Yuan Tianping to submit the action short film is the magic city. Since both ends are right, why not do it.

In today's era, the stipends for conscripts are really not much, even in the magic city, but the treatment is very different. There is no way to do this. The prosperity of a city must have the benefits of prosperity.

The recruitment is not over yet, but the National People's Congress has decided it. In the past few days, Suning has also been in contact with some soldiers and non-commissioned officers who are about to retire, as well as cadres of the new recruit company in the army.

Those officers had a good impression of Suning, saying that many young men who joined the army had watched "Soldier Glory" and were attracted by his handsome military skills.

This made Suning feel a little bit emotional, unknowingly, he has become a "symbol" in the eyes of some people.

At the same time, Yuan Tianping also rushed to Shanghai from the Yanjing Martial Arts Club, and a battle of martial arts was about to begin.

Outside Feina's company in Shanghai, many newspaper reporters had already gathered, but Hollywood did a good job of keeping secrets, so none of the reporters could pry into any news.

Suning actually doesn't care about Yuan Tianping at all now, because his martial arts background in the two martial arts worlds is enough to throw Yuan Tianping aside for more than 100 years.

A person's self-confidence is cultivated little by little, and Suning is no exception.

A real strong man, even if he hasn't got up yet, as long as he is willing to get up, after he gets up, there will be no one in the world.

Su Ning is undoubtedly this kind of person, but he didn't expect that he is this kind of person, but now, he knows, then, the world's martial arts fingers are not afraid.

However, Suning didn't care too much. If he doesn't care, he doesn't care. It's something on the stage, but the ups and downs off the stage are never lacking.

Of course, with the current situation, Yuan Tianping naturally dare not do some dirty things, but Suning believes that Yuan Tianping can definitely do some ostensible schemes.

The water in the entertainment industry is not the deepest, but it is enough to drown people.

Of course, Suning has Huaxing to support him, so he is not afraid of Yuan Tianping's little tricks. After all, the Wushu Association is only one of several giants in Hong Kong and Kowloon, not the largest, not to mention not having much financial resources.

After returning home, Suning casually ate a piece of bread and fell asleep on the sofa in the hall.

It wasn't until Su Xin came back at noon that Suning was shaken awake by her.

"Brother, our hospital is talking about you, saying that you cooperate with the official conscription department and serve as the image endorsement. Is this true?"

Su Xin gently shook Suning awake, with a curious expression on her face.

Even if the Internet age has not completely come, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, not to mention, there is no need to cover up this matter.

Suning rubbed his eyes, looked at the anticipation on Su Xin's face, and could only answer for her: "Yes, the fire of "Soldier Glory" has also increased the number of soldiers, but recruits are the most troublesome, so the conscription department The leaders hope that I can be used as an image spokesperson to encourage those recruits to persevere and not lose face."

Hearing this, Su Xin was in high spirits, and looked at Suning with admiration, smiling all over her face.

Looking at her, it seems that she is the image spokesperson of the army.

Su Ning got up and recovered his spirits in just a few minutes. This is only when the use of qi in martial arts reaches a state of perfection.

In this world, there are no superpowers or internal skills. Ancient martial arts are just a technique to enhance people's potential and have been lost. If Suning didn't have those martial arts attainments, it would be difficult for him to achieve them.

It can be said that his martial arts are unique in the world.

Su Xin said happily: "Brother, you finally succeeded."

For Suning, there is no one in this world who can understand him better than Su Xin.

The two are rubbing each other's ears and temples, childhood sweethearts.

"By the way, brother, why don't I know about your martial arts skills?" Su Xin suddenly remembered this question.

It was said in the news and on the Internet that Suning's grandfather was a master of martial arts, but Su Xin knew that "grandpa" was not.

Suning sighed, a little at a loss. A lie requires countless lies to make up for and cover up, but the words have been spoken, so she can only continue to lie.

Su Ning said wittily: "The teacher who taught me countless times won't let me reveal his identity."

"But brother, I haven't seen you practice martial arts all these years?" Su Xin was still puzzled.

Suning knew that the more he talked, the bigger the flaws would become, so he could only end with "I practiced secretly."

Su Xin didn't intend to ask further questions, so he hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Brother, is your relationship with that Liu Xiaoqian real?"

"Ok?"

Su Ning was stunned for a moment, then understood, and smiled and touched Su Xin's forehead, "Silly girl, don't believe the news about those unscrupulous reporters, most of the news in the entertainment industry is fake, of course, it's true No, it's just a gimmick."

Su Xin rubbed the center of her brows, frowned happily and said, "Brother, it hurts a lot."

Suning went to the kitchen to cook.

Su Xin looked at Suning's back, her lips curled up slightly.

That night, while eating, Su Xin suddenly asked: "Brother, can you give me some money?"

Suning asked: "How much? What to do?"

Su Xin replied: "[-], buy stocks. A classmate of mine recently invested in foreign stocks in Hong Kong and Kowloon and made a fortune. She said that this is a sure-fire business."

Suning directly refused: "You don't even know what a stock is? How does it go up or down? What is the relationship between equity and stock? You don't even know, buy a ball of stock."

Su Xin explained: "Brother, my classmate doesn't understand either, but he made money."

Su Ning shook his head and said: "I don't know much about stocks, but I know that some stocks, like credit cards, must have a joint force and equal mechanism. The soaring speed of these stocks in country m is too exaggerated, and has exceeded the upper limit of the stock's own value. It's like blowing a bubble, the bigger it gets, the easier it is to explode."

Su Xin studied at a medical university, and she didn't know anything about the financial industry, so she shook her head.

Suning simply said: "I will take a credit card as an example. If you want to apply for a credit card, you must have credit and assets. If you use a credit card to pay, you must pay back the money plus interest. The bank will make money. If you can pay back, then everyone is happy. If you can’t pay it back, the bank can take your assets as collateral, which is normal.”

Su Xin nodded.

Su Ning continued: "However, if the amount of money swiped by the bank card increases by a hundred times, far exceeding your assets, and you need decades to repay the repayment, then accidents will happen. Let alone the repayment problem, the bank will Your interest is packaged and sold to financial institutions at half price, and financial institutions then sell them as stocks. If you are alive and have a job, you will be fine, but if you die or lose your job, then this stock will be completely ruined.”

Su Xin understood.

Suning asked with a smile: "Are you still buying stocks?"

Su Xin shook her head and said, "I won't buy it."

Suning smiled and touched Su Xin's head, and praised: "This is my good sister."

At the same time, he said in his heart: "I will try my best to protect your state of mind, so that it will always be like spring all year round."

At night, Su Xin had already fallen asleep, but Suning didn't notice it. Instead, he watched the night scene of the magic city from the balcony, feeling a little emotional.

This year, 2004, will soon be 2005, and there are only a few years before 2008. Even if it is just a game world, it is a real world derived from it. Even if there are some changes in technology and culture, the main line of the world is not much different. Stocks This kind of thing, like a bubble, the bigger it is, the easier it is to explode.

Almost everyone in Hong Kong and Kowloon can trade stocks, but how many of them actually make money?
Su Ning sighed, Su Ning also knew Su Xin's classmate, even if Su Xin didn't tell her, he could guess who she was.

That person is extremely persistent, and Suning is not a nosy person, but it's a pity.

Shaking his head, Suning stopped thinking about it.

Magic City Securities Institution, with the development of this city, investors are pouring in like crucian carp across the river.

According to authoritative theory, the number of stockholders across the country has exceeded 1000 million, but there are very few people who really understand stock investment, and most of them are retail investors.

In the financial industry, countless people will fall asleep, but money will never sleep.

Before going to bed, Suning looked at the ceiling and thought for a while.

Since the broadcast of "Soldier Glory", Suning's life has had a lot of chain reactions, and Su Xin has also been affected. Regarding this, Su Xin also complained that some relatives who were out of reach even called her to ask her to borrow money , or ask her to say a good word to Suning and arrange a role for her son and daughter in the crew.

Society is always so realistic, rich and famous, most of them, including relatives and friends, have two faces, don't refute, in this world, for money, couples, father and son, father and daughter, mother and son, mother and daughter turn against each other , still less?

……

On December 12th, the crew of "The Spy Movie" also officially arrived in Shanghai, and there is only one day before the battle between Suning and Yuan Tianping.

In Suning's community, there are already many reporters secretly taking pictures of Suning. The dispute about the martial arts between Suning and Yuan Tianping has become hot on the Internet.

There is no reason for it.

Suning is a rookie, and Yuan Tianping is a world-renowned martial arts instructor.

There is now a piece of information on the Internet called bad Suning.

However, the Su family class and the big old king are full of confidence. Regarding Yuan Tianping, they have already learned about his level through the martial arts movies he directed. Compared with Suning, it is mediocre.

On the Internet, Suning has the upper hand, but there are also many people who support Suning, most of whom are fans of "Glory of Soldiers".

Accompanying Suning is Wu Jin. Even if he is confident, he can't bring everyone in the Su family class. He is not Yuan Tianping, who can travel with more than a dozen apprentices.

Suning gave the data disk to Wu Jin for safekeeping, which made Wu Jin guard the data disk closely these days for fear of losing it.

Suning easily got rid of the group of reporters and came to Huaxing's branch office in Shanghai, where Wu Jin lived.

General Manager's Office.

Suning and Wu Jin are discussing tomorrow's matters with the general manager Zhang Fang.

Suning said confidently: "Yuan Tianping will definitely lose, so all we have to prepare is to accept the result of victory."

Wu Jin actually had no idea, even if he knew that the action short films of Su's class were definitely better than Yuan Tianping's, but Yuan Tianping had a deep connection in Hollywood, so maybe he would be a hindrance to it.

At this time, Zhang Fang gave Wu Jin an answer.

He said with a smile: "Hollywood wants the mainland market, and Suning is the most important part of it."

Zhang Fang became the general manager of Huaxing's branch in Shanghai at the age of 30. Naturally, he is extremely capable and has a very broad vision.

Wu Jin still didn't understand, he shook his head and said, "Why do you have to be guided by Su?"

Suning explained with a smile: "Hong Kong and Kowloon are Hong Kong and Kowloon after all. Even if the culture is similar to ours, after all, they have been living with foreigners for too long, and there must be a gap. It is absolutely impossible to conquer our mainland in entertainment. Hollywood knows best. There’s no way you can’t do business without seeing this.”

Hearing these words from Suning, Zhang Fang felt as if he had met a confidant, and opened the conversation box. He said with a long-term vision: "That's right, TV and movies in the Mainland have risen and will become bigger and bigger. In comparison, Hong Kong and Kowloon's Movies have declined. Those big directors from Hong Kong and Kowloon either come to the mainland or go to Hollywood, but there are not many who can make a name for themselves in Hollywood, and none of them can last. They don’t rely on the mainland market, but those directors in Hong Kong and , Because of cultural relations, no matter what the film is, there is a kind of barrier, so if Hollywood wants to maximize the box office, it must use our mainlanders."

Wu Jin understood a little bit, "You mean that in the future, our mainland movies will steadily suppress Hong Kong and Kowloon movies, and even allow Hong Kong and Kowloon movies to play supporting roles."

Suning nodded and said, "That's right, the mainland market is huge. I think Hollywood knows that with the rapid economic development, the capacity and box office of movies will increase rapidly. It's just that our mainland lacks commercial movies."

"Commercial film?" Wu Jin didn't understand, "Aren't Ye Gangpao and Zhang Longtu's commercial films?"

Su Ning shook his head and said: "No, the so-called commercial movies are completely for the audience. They must have feelings, and the director's personal style must also be required. However, the director's personal will must not override the characters in the play, otherwise , that’s just a half-commercial, half-artistic four-image.”

"A king?" Wu Jin asked suddenly.

Su Ning thought for a while, nodded and said: "That movie, how should I put it, the shots are good, but it's purely based on stars, without Li Longjie, and foreigners' curiosity, would it really have such a high box office? I For sure, the box office of Zhang Longtu's future films will get lower and lower."

Zhang Fang was slightly startled, and developed a feeling of admiration for Suning.

He is a proud person, but he has always had a vague understanding of the film industry, but it is not clear. However, Suning's words pierced directly like a sharp sword.

It was so, no wonder!
Zhang Fang looked at Su Ning, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Su Ning, I thought you were just an excellent martial arts instructor, but after hearing what you said, I was overwhelmed. I think you will definitely be able to become a mainland director in the future." .1."

Suning smiled, and accepted it frankly: "Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think I can become No.1. I just want commercial movies to make the mainland movies rise, instead of being controlled by some people who occupy the latrines and don't shit. , Are their abilities really good? Maybe they are good, but today's era really doesn't need them, because every era needs something from every era."

Wu Jin was speechless.

He instinctively wanted to refute Suning's words, but he couldn't.

Zhang Fang suddenly said with emotion: "I really want to see a time when mainland movies flourish."

However, Suning said: "Impossible. In the future, movies can only be commercial. Of course, business and art are not contradictory, but they are still incomparable with Hollywood. After all, art films are not popular in the mainland, even if art films , but also to shoot with a business model.”

Wu Jin was completely dumbfounded.

Zhang Fang's brain couldn't keep up with Suning's.

But Suning simply smiled and said calmly: "Commercial films, mainly comedies, are the most profitable. Others may have the greatest potential, but they also have the greatest bottom line. Therefore, my first film must be a comedy."

Wu Jin and Zhang Fang suddenly understood something.

This may be a very simple thing, but it is something that is easily overlooked.

"Hollywood's film creation model is worth learning from."

Finally, Suning said to himself.
