Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 287: Alternative Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Industry (22)

"About a month. If the progress is fast, I will come back earlier."

Shen Yaofei went abroad to make decisions, not to procrastinate.

It's also due to the international situation in recent years. The circles abroad are like that. If Shen Yao is willing to spend money to hire people to make a movie, then he is the sponsor.

Compared with the reserved and introverted Chinese people, those people abroad were the ones who knelt with true feelings, without any resistance at all. They even worried about what to do if they didn't kneel thoroughly enough and angered their financial sponsors.

"After all, this is a capitalist society. Do you think they have any advanced ideas? Otherwise, how would individual heroism come from?"

Foreign science fiction films are all based on the hero-savior template, and they are the best-selling and most popular. Anyway, they are typical popcorn movies, with no logic or outline, only cool content and various exciting fighting scenes. They make money from this.

This time, the movie invested and filmed by Shen Yao is also a classic popcorn blockbuster.

The plot is over two hours long, and it’s also a monster movie involving aliens.

Anyway, when it was taken out, the director in charge of the film had a look of surprise on his face, which shows that he was very optimistic about the box office of this type of film.

However, there are pros and cons. Shen Yao is investing in this film for the money, so he has to be a little relaxed when it comes to winning awards. Everyone knows that movies that make money and are box office hits are generally not favored by these judges.

When people give awards, they often give prizes to movies that no one has ever heard of.

Including award-winning films from the previous and previous years, which were documentary-like films, the news caused an uproar throughout the world and made the domestic film industry indignant. Some people who had held on to their lifelong ideal of wanting to squeeze into the circle were extremely disappointed.

It seems like there's really no hope for them. They're all overwhelmed with sadness.

However, after being sad, they calmed down, and the foreign circles continued to move on their own, and even if Shen Yao joined in, it would not change anything.

'I just feel sorry for the Chinese people,' those foreigners are arrogant and superficial, but it is precisely because of this that she wants to go abroad and make a fortune.

'If this movie is a big hit, my situation abroad will not be very good.'

The methods used abroad are even more brutal than those used at home. Those capitalists kill people without shedding blood.

'Host, we can focus on the domestic market.' The plate is already big enough, there is no need to expand it further.

"What's the point of focusing on the domestic market? The domestic market will eventually be divided up."

Shen Yao is preparing for a rainy day and opening up a new path for Xingxing Films in advance. "Foreign capital has been making huge profits in China recently. As one grows, the other shrinks. We can't just give them real money for nothing."

Why should foreigners get cheaper money? Don’t they deserve it?

Shen Yao didn't finish her words, but everyone could understand the implication.

The system kept silent tacitly. Its words would not have much effect anyway. On the contrary, if it said something wrong, it would be a big problem.

Shen Yao leaned on the cushion behind her, closed her eyes and thought about what she should do after arriving abroad.

There is nothing wrong with what has been agreed upon, but what else can we do? There are other ways, such as cooperating with foreign capital and using their resources to do things for us.

Hey

After all, she still doesn't have enough cards in her hand. Foreign capitalists are all greedy. If she doesn't have any ability, she will be like a meat bun offered to them, which will go away and never come back.

You have to continue to think about it, don't be anxious, and don't make any mistakes.

……

After getting off the plane, Shen Yao went to a hotel and stayed for one night.

When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed, changed into neat clothes, and walked to the company with her bag.

The overseas company is also called Star Films, but the name has been changed to English and it is a branch, so there are some differences from the domestic one.

The company doesn't have many employees, but the person in charge is a middle-aged man named Charlie who is experienced in doing things.

He originally worked in a large foreign company and was hired by Shen Yao with a high salary. He is efficient in his work and will not cause any trouble for Shen Yao.

The films shot by the company are currently being edited and the content is basically the same. The main point of concern lies in the release time and planning.

This doesn't mean that you can release it overseas just by having a release license.

In other words, many new movies are released abroad every year, but the ones that can be sold at a good price abroad are those produced by big companies.

Small companies may have some, but not many. At least, such lucky things are less common abroad than in China.

If Shen Yao's company wants to successfully promote this film and make money, it has to work together domestically and internationally, and also share some of the profits with others so that those with resources and connections will be willing to promote the film.

Charlie sent his prepared report to his boss, which listed one, two, and three points, all of which were Charlie's own experience.

Shen Yao looked at it and put it down. "Can it work? These companies don't dare to say it easily."

The division of power abroad is simpler and more crude than at home, with clear distinctions of first, second, and third rank.

"Boss, you can give it a try, as long as the price we offer is attractive enough."

There is no such thing as national justice in foreign countries. After all, this is an immigrant country.

Charlie is not a native of the country, but an immigrant from the previous generation. After years of hard work, he finally made a name for himself.

But this is only compared with other ordinary people. He cannot reach the level of those who were born in Rome.

"The price is easy to negotiate, but don't promise anything else, including the share of the cinema."

Not saying try your best, that means no share. Shen Yao wants to spend money to deal with all those who might jump out to take advantage of the situation.

Shen Yao had used this method before, and the effect was unexpectedly good. At least it saved the costs of the previous films.

This time she used the same trick to create a time difference. The other party didn't know her ability yet, or maybe they knew it but were too arrogant to think that the domestic and foreign environments were different and she might not be able to handle it.

"Go and hire someone, I'll take care of the rest," implying that she would provide extra funding for this part.

Although some money is a lot, it is necessary to spend it. Otherwise, how can others help you? Overseas, people are not relatives or friends at all, and all they care about is money and face.

Charlie is indeed very capable of doing things. Just a few days after Shen Yao gave her instructions, Charlie had already negotiated everything he could.

This person even secretly lowered the price, and the price was lower than the estimate. Shen Yao asked the reason, and Charlie said that if the relationships between the upper and lower levels were established, the overall price would be lower.

For example, when you work in a company, if you sign a big order, it does not mean that you can get the full cashback of the order, but if you can make others and yourself convenient in the process, you will gain more than just doing your job.

This is the view that is being pursued abroad today, and the difference between you and me is clear and obvious.

Shen Yao was also generous in rewarding Charlie. If this person was capable, she would get more money, and if he was not, she would get less money. She would not change the environment, but would only adapt to it.

During the month abroad, Shen Yao did not rest, but ran here and there, and met with a few people in the circle every now and then.

There are directors, screenwriters, producers, and production staff... It's pretty much the same in China and abroad, but there are still some differences. Shen Yao wanted to take a look, so she decided to take the opportunity to explore.

Shen Yao didn't want to practice it herself. It was just too tiring to stay in the office all day, and Charlie was a very qualified administrator, so Shen Yao didn't need to stay in the company and get in the way.

"Mr. John, you are right, it will do us no harm if this is done.

In the future, if Mr. John needs help with domestic affairs, we will do our best to help him." This can be regarded as a resource exchange, and from now on, everyone will see each other every day, and the cooperation will be closer than it is now.

Mr. John is an old man with white hair and looks in good health.

His company is responsible for scheduling films for some theaters. Although it is not the largest in this collaboration, it is the first to cooperate with them.

In return, Shen Yao was very respectful to Mr. John and spoke softly and gently at all times, which also made Mr. John, who had been with her for two days, have a good impression of her.

"Ms. Shen, I feel relieved after hearing this," Their company does intend to enter the domestic market. The flower country market is so big, who wouldn't be envious.

However, there are only a few movies that can enter the Chinese market. Even if there are more, they are affiliated with a few big companies, so they have no chance even if they try hard.

This cooperation with Shen Yao was decided upon at the insistence of Mr. John. He valued Shen Yao's background and connections and didn't mind giving it a try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, at most they will not make any profit, but they will not suffer any loss.

For a businessman, as long as there is no loss, the deal is worth negotiating.

Mr. John and Shen Yao only interacted for a few days, and then naturally dispersed when the company became busy.

But with Mr. John gone and Ms. Susan here, Shen Yao's place is always bustling.

The lively Shen Yao did not stay abroad for too long. When the time came, she immediately packed her luggage and went home.

The luggage was filled with some ordinary items that were purchased, many of which were for the two children.

Lu Xin and Lu Yi had been away from Shen Yao for a month, and suddenly they felt a little unfamiliar with their biological mother.

Fortunately, children have short memories and can have fun as long as they have food and drinks.

Look, they are already playing with the toys that Shen Yao gave them, and occasionally they are fighting with each other. They won’t even sit still to eat.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao was helpless, but there was nothing she could do, after all, he was just a child.

Children don’t understand much, and it’s difficult to reason with them. They can only be educated after they reach this age.

Lu Xin and Lu Yi are both good kids, but good kids are not always obedient and quiet.

As the two children grew older, each one became more noisy than the other. Lu Xian lost several pounds after taking care of them at home for a month.

Holding Shen Yao, he shook his head helplessly, "Our daughter is so lively."

It’s not that it’s bad, but most people can’t handle the energy.

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, "Let them change it?"

"No," Lu Xian shook his head and refused, which was within Shen Yao's expectations.

"They are both still young. Besides, being lively is fine as long as they are happy."

Lu Xian is a person who can point out his own child’s faults but cannot allow others to complain.

This is a typical example of allowing officials to set fires but not allowing ordinary people to light lamps.

Shen Yao didn't say anything to Lu Xian. After all, there was nothing wrong in loving his daughter.

After touching Lu Xian's face, the two of them talked to each other for a while, then got up and went to the living room to eat.

As usual, Shen Yao took a day off at home to recuperate, and went to the company the next day with renewed energy.

Ma Qing had received Shen Yao's message earlier and knew that everything was going well abroad. She also said that there were no disturbances in the domestic situation, so Xingxing Film and Television could take the opportunity to start a new script.

"As long as there is a partner, launching a new drama is not a problem. We can now afford to run the crew, so we don't have to make do with the selection of people."

Shen Yao doesn't value people who are content with mediocrity. Shen Yao doesn't have high standards, but the situation in the circle has really lowered her bottom line. Before, Shen Yao had no choice but to control costs and try to save money. Now, Xingxing Film and Television is so wealthy that of course they can do whatever they want.

Ma Qingjian smiled and nodded, telling Shen Yao not to worry about it. She had already asked someone to make the arrangements. It would be a lie to say that the treatment offered by Xingxing Film and Television was not attractive. Who wouldn't want to cooperate with Xingxing Film and Television to film a drama? It would not only save trouble but also earn more money.

There are already quite a few directors and screenwriters under the name of Xingxing Film and Television. They are all die-hard fans of Xingxing Film and Television. As long as Xingxing Film and Television does not do anything weird, they will never leave here.

The most outstanding among them is Director Zheng, who has made a fortune with the movie "The Legend of Locking Heart". Other directors in the circle are so envious of him.

Any director who wants to cooperate with Star Films will contact Director Zheng first and pay homage to this veteran.

"Oh, what elder? It's just that Mr. Shen values ​​me. I'm just lucky."

Director Zheng was very polite and his words did not seem like he was taking credit for himself.

But everyone could see the smugness on that face.

I grumbled in my heart that this old guy was not a decent person, and his words and actions were empty talk, but on the surface he still followed Director Zheng's words and flattered him in various ways, acting like a person who has to bow his head under someone's eaves.

Director Zheng snorted coldly and did not respond. He would reject all requests for help.

"Old Zheng, that's not very kind of you." They are all good friends and good partners. If you become rich, you have to help make some money.

Some people just don't know how to be polite when they speak.

Director Zheng looked coldly at the man sitting opposite him, thinking to himself, "We are not good friends. We stabbed each other in the back a lot. Now I come to him for help. Let's forget the grudges with a smile? You're dreaming!"

"Oh, what are you saying? I'm just a lousy worker, what can I say?"

Director Zheng doesn't care at all about having dirty water thrown on himself, he just says whatever sounds bad.

Finally, he angrily drove the man away and went home happily to show off.

However, just two days after returning home to show off, Director Zheng's joy turned into tragedy and something went wrong.

"Wha, what?"

Director Zheng looked at Ma Qingjian in horror, not understanding how he had violated company rules. He, in all conscience, had done nothing.

Ma Qingjian told Director Zheng to calm down, saying that it was not him who violated the company regulations, but someone was using his name to cause trouble, and now that the truth was revealed, they put the blame on Director Zheng.

"We still believe in you. Just cooperate with the investigation."

Since it involves the flow of large amounts of funds, there must be an explanation from the police.
