This dinner party is actually a housewarming banquet, and two or three people are okay, but Cameron reminded Zhou Fangyuan that he should take this opportunity to get to know the people in the circle.

According to him, sooner or later, Distant Pictures will have to go deeper into Hollywood, and now they can still play guerrilla tactics at the side doors, occasionally release one or two movies, and wander around or something. But with the passage of time, when Hollywood gradually gets used to the existence of distant pictures, but at the same time finds that distant pictures have no contact with people in the circle, it will inevitably be excluded by others. can't make everyone think that Distant Pictures is not a person all the way, it is a ticket nature, once such a fixed image is formed, and then there are people who are interested in promoting it, it is not impossible for the whole industry to boycott at that time.

So this is a great opportunity to use the reason of moving to a new home and invite people in the circle to come and get together.

In fact, most people don't know Zhou Fangyuan, and people basically don't know him, but what does it matter? With Cameron as a matchmaker, these are not problems.

It's just that none of the bigwigs who came today are the highest-level directors, except for Cameron and Spielberg, that is, several well-known Hollywood directors. To be honest, these people do not match Zhou Fangyuan's identity, after all, Zhou Fangyuan represents capital and is a character standing upstream, these directors and actors, even if there are levels between them, they are all waiting downstream, that is, super directors like Cameron and Spielberg can have the opportunity to enter the field of capital.

Capital is never just about having money.

Money is only one aspect, channels, connections, relationships, these are all things that capital has in its hands. There are often all kinds of people who buy lottery tickets and win the jackpot in the United States, the kind that often costs hundreds of millions of dollars, do these people have money? Too rich, and all of them are cash flow. But their status is not even as good as that of an ordinary director, and this kind of circle will never be mixed up just with money. Which star or director who can become famous has no money? But how many people can really be called capitalists?

Zhou Fangyuan is rich, what he lacks is connections and relationships, but he is not worth anyone in terms of channels, in terms of connections, now with Cameron, if he can envelop Spielberg again, with them to help him contact in the middle, contacts and relationships will not be a problem. That's the capital, the stuff that can play with Hollywood, money? What is it? In this circle, money is always the least valuable.

It's like Wang Quanquan said such a sentence when he first started playing Weibo. Thank God for letting me choose the easy mode.

He is a young man who dares to speak the truth, and this sentence basically does say what he really thinks. His father, Wang Shoufu, seems to be an entrepreneur and a big businessman, but in fact, the core essence is a capitalist.

Wang Quanquan is actually the child of a capitalist, and it is indeed much easier to fight with his father's hundreds of millions of dollars than for the ordinary people to fight by selling their labor. The simplest is that you can open a company, and then spend 1 million to hire a very powerful CEO and let this CEO take good care of a company. Or invest millions directly in the world's best entrepreneurs. For example, he voted for Elon Musk to do a new high-tech project. He only needs to be optimistic about the risks of the project and then spend the capital to buy the resources, weighing the pros and cons. As long as there is a large enough profit, then this thing can be done.

And because capital can invite the best talents, the best talents can double the maximum probability of capital, ranging from several times to hundreds of times. Just look at these two things to know how high the rate of return on capital is. The factors of production are those: labor, technology, land, capital, organization. As long as you have the capital, you can buy these things as much as you want, or exchange them for them. Even if you're an entrepreneur, you're an entrepreneur. But you also need financing, and you also need capital, so to a large extent, you also work for the capitalists.

So whether it is Brother Ma, Shi Daxia, or Wang Shoufu, these people were entrepreneurs at the beginning, but in the end, as more and more wealth was accumulated through business, their identities slowly turned to capitalists.

Of course, the domestic power controls a large number of resources, but with the new leadership coming to power, the tendency to be confined to the constitution will be a thing of the past. But this must be done slowly, and even the current state-owned assets cannot be privatized immediately, otherwise it may fatten out individual capitalists. For example, when Mao Ziguo suddenly transitioned to capitalism, this phenomenon occurred.

At that time, there were seven capitalist oligopolies that monopolized almost 99% of Maozi's wealth, and it can be said that the wealth rivals that of the country, but the entire economy of Maozi stopped oscillating.

One of the greatest feats of the Emperor when he came to power was to kill these 7 people. Power and capital themselves are a big game, but power is still slowly delegated, so that capital belongs to capital.

In a 2015 report released by Hurun, Hurun defined high-net-worth individuals as those with personal assets of more than 10 million yuan. As of May 2015, the number of 10 million high-net-worth individuals in mainland China has reached 1.21 million, a year-on-year increase of 11%, the highest number in the history of the year, and the number of high-net-worth individuals with 100 million yuan has reached 78,000, a year-on-year increase of 16%. The number of tens of millions of high-net-worth individuals on Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island is 198,000 and 167,000 respectively, and the number of high-net-worth individuals with 100 million yuan is 11,000 and 9,000 respectively. In 2015, the total population of China was more than 1.37 billion yuan, so tens of millions of high-net-worth individuals accounted for about 0.09% of the total population.

In addition, there is also a report on ultra-high-net-worth individuals, that is, people with total assets of more than 500 million yuan of soft girl coins. According to the forecast, there are about 17,000 ultra-high-net-worth individuals in China, with a total asset size of about 31 trillion yuan and an average asset size of 1.82 billion yuan. Ultra-high-net-worth individuals account for about 0.001% of the country's total population.

At most, the 10 million level is a small capitalist, and the big capitalist will cost more than 500 million if he takes a data.

However, these two groups of people account for almost one thousandth and one hundred thousandth of our lives, respectively. It is estimated that there is 100 million, which is almost 1 in 10,000. If you want to become a multimillionaire, you have to become one in a thousand, and a billionaire is one in a thousand, and so on.

In 2016, 55% of the tens of millions of high-net-worth individuals were business owners, 20% were gold-collar workers, 15% were property speculators, and 10% were professional stockholders.

Most entrepreneurs, businessmen, senior workers, and entrepreneurs do not want to only do so hard work, but want to eventually become capitalists and earn wealth with capital. Therefore, more and more people have entered the industry that is related to financial capital. But it's not just this industry, it's all the same, it's capital-led.

In the entertainment industry, it seems that celebrities are very beautiful, but in fact, this is just a product packaged by the boss. The boss pays for a planner to arrange positioning for him, finds an agent to find him a lot of programs to continue to expose, does public relations and advertising for him, finds someone to hype him, and positions him to release songs, movies, and shows, who to partner with him, and asks the director to arrange how the guests and stars of the show should play, etc.

As long as the celebrity becomes popular, the celebrity will have a lot of attention, in fact, this is equivalent to the traffic of the Internet. With traffic, you can use this product to earn advertising fees, to earn peripheral products, to earn celebrity customized products, to earn his works, etc., all of which are shared with the boss. Celebrities must maintain continuous exposure, whether it is a scandal, an emergency, an astonishing remark, or a regular show. They all need to be exposed, and celebrities are actually very tired. As long as the number of followers and impressions drops, it means that they are far away from money.

Many people in the entertainment industry are hidden for these reasons, once this star is gone, then go to hype something else, or say that this is disobedient, then it is the same replacement, and at the same time kill the chicken and monkey, tell others - look, this is the end of offending me.

Generally speaking, there must be more than one artist signed by a big entertainment company, raising a bunch of stars, this one can't be the other, and there are constantly newcomers popping up. It's not easy to be old, after all, it's really hard to get people to like you for decades. Including the latest Internet celebrity economy is similar to celebrities, some bosses are also like this when they engage in Internet celebrities, spend some money to invite many Internet celebrities to live broadcast, this doesn't work, just use that, anyway, everyone makes money and shares it together. The same is true in the film industry, no matter how powerful the director is. He has to make some commercial films, what is a commercial film. It's a money-making film, this kind of film won't have too much artistic depth, or philosophical depth, but he can make the market eat his set, as long as the box office is good.

It is better to have a box office of more than 1 billion, then the movie will make a lot of money.

Many artists, although the ideal is art, but the reality must be rich, so the pursuit of art has to succumb to capital. Either you are like Ang Lee, you have a good wife to raise, you don't mean to laugh, just ridicule. If commercial films are what everyone likes, then why not. After all, not everyone likes movies with depth or height, and spending some money to buy some happiness is actually enough. Most people in this world pursue physical happiness, and the depth of the spirit is still a minority. But capital has to go where it is most profitable.

All industries in the business field need to be supported by capital.

This is especially true of the Internet, where all entrepreneurs are constantly showing themselves to win the love of investors so that they can go big, and it is almost unrealistic to start a business in the Internet industry without capital. And that's just the situation at home.

The power of capital in the United States is even stronger.

Behind the politicians are all related to certain consortia, including the current election in the United States.

The general election needs to be a show, hype, exposure, marketing, and public relations, all of which cost a lot of money, and someone must sponsor and invest. There are usually relatively large consortia behind the scenes, and as long as a general election figure is praised as president, then the next interests can be best expanded. The power that comes with a president can make capital more unfettered.

Wall Street and the Federal Reserve are relying on the power of finance and capital to earn the world's wealth. Including the previous Wall Street short Maozi's oil can make a lot of money, Soros to snipe the Thai baht, Singapore currency, etc., causing the Asian financial turmoil. Or the Fed's quantitative easing policy, which constantly prints dollars to transfer domestic inflation to the world, these are the best proof of the power of capital.

Of course, on the positive side, capitalists are investing their capital in Silicon Valley, investing in Hollywood, investing in Detroit, and creating technology, art, industry, and so on.

This is also the reason why the financial industry is a rich and handsome industry, generally speaking, there are only two kinds of people who enter the financial industry as fund managers or other capital manipulators.

First, you already have a lot of capital. Second, you are a top financial student.

The United States is a country dominated by the financial industry, and the important reason is that he has capital, and he is the richest country in the world, so he can do this. Including the wars denounced by the common people, it is also a struggle for funds in the end. A large part of the reason why the North was able to defeat the South in the Civil War was that the North was richer and the North was more industrialized. In the end, the south is bound to lose, and if there is not enough money, how can it continue to fight? There is no food and no bullets, so they will be beaten with their heads.

The power of capital is very well reflected in all walks of life, and it is not only in the entertainment industry.

Of course, it doesn't mean that these positions in the entertainment industry really can't enter the capital circle. The domestic entertainment industry is more famous, Huang Jiaozhu is an example, making movies and advertisements, making money, and then going out to invest, the investment is successful, and the money is more, so he tries every means to buy shares in the media company and become the boss in the media company. When a person is both a referee and an athlete, he is naturally invincible. How can the big baby be so popular? As far as her acting skills are concerned, she really doesn't blow it, if she can win the award with her own ability, the old sow can go up the tree. But there is no way, there is capital support behind them, her man, Sect Leader Huang is a member of the emerging capital, although he is still at the level of a younger brother, but he can already speak.

As long as you can enter the circle, it is another way to play, everyone no longer pays attention to what kills you to the death, and win-win is the best way. And the big baby itself is garbage, and the level of traffic absorption is good, anyway, if you can make money, other people in the circle will also think, who is not praise? It just so happens that there is still the face of the Huang sect leader? Yes, it's her.

So there was such a deformed ...... Ahem.

The gossip is far away...... In short, today's party, do you want to say that it is interesting? In fact, it is not interesting, anyway, these people are not at the same level as Zhou Fangyuan, after the banquet began, Zhou Fangyuan, as the host, said two words briefly, and went to the sofa accompanied by Cameron and Spielberg. No one came to disturb without opening their eyes, the three here, the one in the middle is not familiar, but the one on both sides is too familiar, and it seems that the one in the middle is still the leader, without the permission of someone to summon him, who dares to take the initiative to come and disturb?

Zhou Fangyuan was quite bored, chatting casually with Cameron first, and then ...... His eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a rather familiar figure.
