Yanjing, Chaoyang!

Not far from the building, there is also an office building, which houses a variety of companies, but there is one company that is more special.

This company is called Beixue Film Company, Beixue Film Company is a film company established in the middle of last year, the owner Li Xiangbei was originally in the real estate business in Qiong Province, and like the Six Gentlemen of Wantong, he also sold all his business in Qiong Province in time before the real estate bubble in Qiong Province burst.

This made Li Xiangbei make a fortune.

After leaving Qiong Province, Li Xiangbei is also considering his future development direction, in fact, Li Xiangbei was still preparing to return to his old business in China, still doing real estate business, although the real estate bubble in Qiong Province is strong, but the domestic real estate business has begun to take off in his opinion.

But when he came to Yanjing and was about to inspect the market, he inadvertently watched a movie, the movie was a movie shot by Beijing Film Studio, in Li Xiangbei's opinion, this movie is not so good, compared with Wu Jianye's movie, it is too far behind.

But there were a lot of audiences in the cinema, which made him very strange, and under the trend of curiosity, Li Xiangbei went to several other cinemas and found that there were also a lot of audiences here.

Of course, all the people he went to were Fengge Cinemas, and in other theaters, there were not so many people.

This made Li Xiangbei think about making movies!

However, although Li Xiangbei wants to make movies, he doesn't know anyone in the film industry, so Li Xiangbei was a little like a headless fly running around at first.

Although he also used his connections to meet with many film directors, including Chen Kaige, Chen Kaige had already connected with RB's capital at that time, so he did not agree to Li Xiangbei's request.

However, as a man who can start from scratch in Qiong Province, since he has decided to do the film industry, he will not give up so easily.

In the end, Li Xiangbei met through a friend, Wang Tao, a person who works as a choreographer and director on CCTV!

In fact, Li Xiangbei was not very optimistic about Wang Tao at first, after all, Wang Tao has not proved his worth through any movie.

However, after a trip to Wang Tao's home, Li Xiangbei changed his mind.

Wang Tao's home is not big, just a two-bedroom room, but Wang Tao lives by himself, which actually shows that Wang Tao's own economic conditions are still okay.

A bedroom, a study, in Wang Tao's study, Li Xiangbei saw a stack of movie tapes, domestic, Xiangjiang, European and American movies that he can almost name himself, are all here.

And on Wang Tao's desk, there are also all kinds of movie scripts messily.

After seeing all this, Li Xiangbei decided to take a gamble!

He invested 15 million yuan and established Beixue Film Company, the first film invested by Beixue Film Company was "Kendo Fengyun" directed by Wang Tao, with an investment of 8 million, which is not much for Li Xiangbei, but for the current film company, it is already a large investment.

During that time, Wang Tao also forgot to sleep and eat to revise the script and establish his own shooting team, fortunately, his previous work experience allowed him to successfully set up his own shooting team.

Then it's time to find an actor, choose the scene!

After three months of preparation, "Kendo Fengyun" officially started filming, two months of filming ended, two months of post-editing, and during that time, Wang Tao put almost all of the time into the crew.

But there's always something to be paid for.

The film was finally edited and approved by radio and television.

Although Li Xiangbei established Beixue Film Company, Beixue Film Company does not have distribution qualifications, and there is no distribution channel.

When Li Xiangbei first investigated, he had already decided that this movie must only be released in Fengge Theater, because only Fengge Theater can really support the box office of the movie.

So Li Xiangbei took a copy of "Kendo Fengyun" and made an appointment with Huang Jianxin, Huang Jianxin felt good after watching this movie, and arranged some film schedules for the movie "Kendo Fengyun".

Although the film scheduling rate is not high, Li Xiangbei is a very pragmatic person, he knows that his film company does not have any reputation, and the director is not a famous director, only the female lead He Qing, who has a very high popularity in China.

This is actually another reason why Huang Jianxin agreed to arrange a schedule for this film.

The only thing that made Li Xiangbei a little apprehensive was that the movie "Kendo Storm" happened to meet Feng Pants' first movie "Forever Lost My Love".

And the premiere ceremony of the movie "Never Lose My Love" invited Wu Jianye and the bigwigs of the entire Beijing circle.

On the other hand, the movie "Kendo Fengyun" almost did not arrange the so-called premiere and was quietly released!

But what Li Xiangbei didn't expect was that this movie was greatly welcomed as soon as it was released, and the box office was even more popular all the way, and finally Fengge Theater even added a film schedule, which made the box office of "Kendo" even higher.

So when the movie "Kendo" was drawn, the domestic box office was as high as 37.3 million.

According to the sharing agreement between Li Xiangbei and Fengge Cinema, Beixue Film Company got a box office share of 18.65 million, deducting its taxes and other expenses, the income of this film is as high as more than 8 million, and the 100% return on interest makes Li Xiangbei happy for several days.

Although his net worth has reached tens of millions, such a rate of return can still make him firm in his idea of continuing to make movies.

So after painting "Kendo Fengyun", he took out 10 million again to prepare to invest in Wang Tao's new movie!

Wang Tao also relied on the movie "Kendo" to make a name for himself in the domestic film and television circle, and his identity and status have also changed, and it is much more convenient to recruit actors.

Perhaps inheriting the style of director Xiangjiang, Wang Tao shoots very fast, and the new film is also shot for two months, and he is now doing post-production.

"Wang Tao, you've worked hard for this time!"

In a somewhat luxuriously decorated office, the most attractive thing is the oil painting of seven wolves hanging on the wall.

Li Xiangbei held a cigarette in his hand and looked at Wang Tao sitting opposite him with a smile on his face.

Wang Tao's hair is a little long, just like the hairstyle of Brother Hao Nan who hasn't washed his hair for a week....... He also had a cigarette in his hand, and judging by the yellowing of his fingernails, he was also an old smoking gun.

"It's not hard, I'm enjoying it. Wang Tao's smile was a little shy, if he hadn't seen Wang Tao's strictness during the filming period, Li Xiangbei would not have been able to see two different images as one person.

"It's not hard, you haven't taken a shower for many days, I can smell you when I smoke, and you can't go to the court culture anymore if you say anything today!"

Beixue Film Company is strictly a leather bag company, the boss Li Xiangbei, and a secretary, although there are people in departments such as the finance department and the film department, but in fact, these people are just filling the scene, and the real core employee is Wang Tao, the director.

At this time, Beixue Film Company was a bit like the early new picture, the boss Zhang Weiping, the director Zhang Yimou, and then there was nothing else.

It is naturally impossible for such a company to have its own editing room, so Beixue Film Company still put its own film editing in Tangting Culture, anyway, Tangting Culture has now started the business of undertaking film editing from other film companies.

As long as you pay the money, you can use their company's editing room, and if the other party does not have an editor, you can also arrange an editor for the other party.

However, as a film director, Wang Tao prefers to be in complete control of his own films.

This is also Wang Tao's luck, if he made his debut in Hollywood, he would definitely not have such treatment.

Wang Tao laughed and said, "It's okay, the movie is about to be edited, and I'll be over in a few days." ”

Li Xiangbei shook his head and said: "Today you just said that it is not easy to break the sky, you must have a good rest, by the way, our company has opened a bath not far away, let's go take a bath after work in a while, and then I will take you to eat a big meal, and then go to work tomorrow!"

Wang Tao hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, I really don't need it!"

"You are the boss, I am the boss, this matter is settled!" Li Xiangbei said seriously.

Wang Tao had no choice but to agree: "Okay, but it can only be today!"

Li Xiangbei smiled and said, "That's right!"

"Yes, have you seen Director Wu in the court culture during this time?" Li Xiangbei then asked.

Wang Tao shook his head, and then said with some pity: "No, I heard that Director Wu rarely goes to the Tangting Building, and he works on the three floors next to the Tangting Building. ”

Li Xiangbei continued to ask curiously: "He won't go to check the post-editing of the movie "Eternal Night"?"

Wang Tao said with a smile: "I heard from people in the court culture that Director Wu's movies are also edited in the editing room on the third floor, and he doesn't go to the hall building at all, and he only goes to the hall building when he inspects the special effects of the hall." ”

"It's really a pity, I still want to get to know Director Wu!" Li Xiangbei said regretfully, the film market is slowly expanding, and the cake is slowly getting bigger.

Li Xiangbei also wants to meet Wu Jian at night, and then learn from the experience!

At this time, Li Xiangbei's positioning of his company is very accurate, that is, he has a firm foothold in the industry now, and he has never thought about the cultural competition of Hetangting.

Wang Tao showed an extremely rare confident smile at this time, and said, "Sooner or later, there will be a chance!"

"Yes, I believe in you!"

Looking at the time, it was already more than five o'clock in the evening, Li Xiangbei smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go take a bath first." ”

Wang Tao didn't say anything, and followed Li Xiangbei to get up and walk out of Li Xiangbei's office.

Li Xiangbei's car is a new Tesla luxury version of the latest Tesla, which is a new car purchased by Li Xiangbei this year, and it was purchased to celebrate when the movie "Kendo" was drawn.

In the past two years, Tesla's domestic luxury models have sprung up, mainly thanks to Zhao Lei and other Yanjing tycoons, who are basically fixed Tesla models when they travel.

This has also led to other wealthy people following suit, although they still can't compare with the luxury cars of overseas brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but at least they have opened up the market.

Li Xiangbei, as a rich man in the early nineties, has the characteristics of a rich man in this era, has a good face, a bold appearance, and a delicate heart.

Otherwise, Wang Tao would not have been so enveloped.

Now that the two of them are going to take a bath, Li Xiangbei actually drove in person, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

After lighting the car, Li Xiangbei casually turned on the radio.

Now that it has entered December, the atmosphere of New Year's Day is getting stronger and stronger, and even the radio is talking about New Year's Day, in fact, this is also a thing that has only happened in the past two years.

"It's about to enter New Year's Day, I believe everyone is thinking, where to go to play during New Year's Day, today we will tell you about the places you can go to play during New Year's Day. ”

The sweet voice of the female anchor came over the radio.

Li Xiangbei said with a smile while driving: "I didn't expect that New Year's Day was coming soon, Taozi, the two of us have known each other for a year and a half, right?"

Wang Tao sat in the co-pilot, lit a cigarette habitually, and said: "Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Li's appreciation, I guess I would still be working as a director in the TV station now!"

"I believe in your ability, even without me, you will definitely become a well-known director!" Li Xiangbei said with a smile.

Wang Tao smiled unaccustomedly, and then didn't say anything.

"By the way, our movie is about to be edited, can you see when it will be released?" asked Li Xiangbei casually.

Wang Tao said: "I see that it will be released at the end of the month!"

"That's good, it's New Year's Day, it's still a holiday, and more people will definitely go to the cinema!" Li Xiangbei also thought so.

But at this time, the voice of the sweet anchor came from the radio: "...... In fact, if you can't travel due to your work relationship, there are also many good places to go, such as "Eternal Night" directed by Wu Jianye will be released during New Year's Day this year, you can go to the cinema to see this movie, the largest investment in China's history!"

"Wu Jianye's "Eternal Night" was also released at this time?" Li Xiangbei looked at Wang Tao in surprise.

Wang Tao shook his head and said in a bit of a daze: "I don't know, I've been staying in the editing room recently, and I haven't actually had much contact with people in court culture." ”

Li Xiangbei fell into deep thought, if his company's movie was released together with Wu Jianye's movie, it would be really troublesome!

Thinking about things in his heart, he lit a cigarette for himself with some annoyance, and then opened the car window and flicked the cigarette ash, when his eyes saw that the poster of the movie "Eternal Night" also appeared on the bus stop sign.......

The depression in Li Xiangbei's heart became even stronger.......
