Hu Wenhai couldn't help but rub his eyes, pinched his arm again, then looked at the sky, and finally looked at the neighbors.
", I almost thought I had crossed the ......" Hu Wenhai patted his chest and exhaled with palpitations.
It's good if it's reborn once, after all, it's a modern society, and you can still mix it with ease. If it was to travel back to ancient times, then Hu Wenhai really didn't have the confidence to survive for a week.
"Crossing?" the black-faced man wondered.
"What is a crossing?" the red-faced man thought thoughtfully.
Hu Wenhai smiled and simply diverted the topic: "Oh, I'm Hu Wenhai, who are you?"
"We were introduced by Principal Di Guang Cui, oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Wang Fulin, and these are the ...... of the Imperial Capital Film Studio."
"Oh, it turned out to be Director Wang!" Hu Wenhai suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned to the side: "Please come in, please come in!"
Wang Fulin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his name to be so good, and walked into the Hu family's compound with "Liu Guanzhang" and three people, Shi Shiran.
"Director Wang is here for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right? But I'm not mistaken, are you still filming Dream of Red Mansions first? When will the filming be finished?
Hu Wenhai held Wang Fulin's hand with some excitement, which was simply a standard fan watch.
If you want to talk about this Wang Fulin, it is really famous. Compared with the commercialized so-called entertainment stars in later generations, this is an authentic old-school figure.
China's first TV series was filmed by him. That's not all, China's four famous novels, the two famous novels "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were filmed by this one!
and Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, these ******** want to win awards at foreign film festivals, this is the real pillar.
The Dream of Red Mansions and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms alone have had a more useful impact on Chinese culture going out than those fifth-generation directors who won ten film awards.
Not to mention how many Chinese children and young people have accompanied these two magnificent masterpieces, and how many times they have created the wonder of "10,000 empty alleys" before the popularization of television.
However, it is a pity that the era of sincerity in Chinese TV dramas is too short.
Dream of Red Mansions, the script alone took two years to write. The screenwriter is a professor of Chinese, a historian and a red scholar, with reference to the opinions of the famous Zhou Ruchang, and carved with a pilgrimage mentality.
A TV series can be filmed for three or four years, traveling through most of China, but the filming cost is only 6.8 million yuan. The music used in the TV series was all original, and it took four years to write 13 songs.
With this attitude, let alone ******** thirty years, it has not had such a well-crafted TV series in the world.
Because except in China before the 90s, you can no longer find half of the filming crew without money, and the actors have to raise money to start filming themselves. I can't find a nationally famous big star, and the pay is not much different from that of ordinary workers. I can't find these artists who make TV dramas purely as artistic creation and a labor job.
Of course, Hu Wenhai also knows that this model cannot be sustained. A sense of responsibility and feelings alone cannot meet the dramatic increase in demand for TV dramas after the explosion of TV ownership.
But to be honest, no matter how much the standards are lowered, they will definitely not give up the position of the TV series to the director of Xiangjiang like later generations, and finally turn it into a "war of resistance drama"!
Sometimes Hu Wenhai wonders, where will the teams of these high-quality TV dramas go in the future? Why did a group of "cultural colonizers" from Xiangjiang rule China's TV sets?
In the end, there is still no money to make trouble. These real local elites of Chinese TV dramas, those who finally changed careers, those who retired, and those who went abroad. The rest of the people, in order to eat, can only work for the uneducated Xiangjiang people, and completely give the screen of the Chinese to a group of spiritual foreigners who are famous and black.
Who is to blame?
Hu Wenhai didn't know who to blame, but since he was back, he couldn't let these things happen again.
Wang Fulin was a little ignorant and followed Hu Wenhai's hand swaying, and finally Hu Wenhai let go of his hand before he stood firm, unable to figure out why he was so warmly welcomed.
But anyway, it's a good thing!
Wang Fulin showed a heartfelt smile and replied: "President Cui introduced Comrade Hu to me, but I really had no choice but to take the liberty of coming to the door. Comrade Hu knows that we are filming Dream of Red Mansions? That would be great, and if it goes well, it will probably be broadcast next year. However, I came this time for the Dream of Red Mansions and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and I was a little reluctant to ask. β
"Hey, look at me, let's go inside and talk. β
Hu Wenhai enthusiastically invited people into the living room of the main house, and personally poured a glass of water for all four of them, and was flattered by his enthusiasm.
In the worried eyes of Wang Fulin and "Liu Guanzhang", Hu Wenhai simply patted his chest and swore solemnly: "Director Wang has any requirements, just say it, as long as I can do it, it must be unambiguous." β
"Well, that's right. Wang Fulin coughed and said a little nervously: "I heard from Principal Cui that you are preparing for the filming of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series, and Principal Cui is now working on the script, and the current progress is about a quarter complete." I want to know, Mr. Hu, are you only interested in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or are you interested in the TV drama industry? Is it possible to invest in our Dream of Red Mansions crew as well?"
Wang Fulin said, he was also a little embarrassed. In these years, state funding for TV drama filming is king, and no matter how bad it is, it is sponsored by the state, and the crew is still a niche behavior to find someone to invest on their own.
Pulling sponsorship for this kind of thing, Wang Fulin is still a big girl on the sedan chair, and she is really not very good at it.
"Is thisβ" Hu Wenhai stroked his chin, looking a little hesitant.
Wang Fulin saw that Hu Wenhai was a little hesitant, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, if Mr. Hu is willing to invest in our Dream of Red Mansions crew, when the filming of Dream of Red Mansions is finished, we can also work for the crew of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." I think the level of our Dream of Red Mansions crew is still good. Look, this is the image I designed for the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how about it?"
Wang Fulin waved his hand as he spoke, and "Liu Guanzhang", who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up. I saw Zhang Fei's bronze bell-like eyes glaring, and the Zhangba snake spear stood on the ground, but it really had a little bit of the courage to break Dangyang Bridge. And Guan Yu next to him was carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife upside down, stroking his chest and beautiful hair with his hand, calm and steady. Finally, Liu Bei on the right, with a big sword at his waist, is gentle and kind, and has the temperament of an actor.
It's really embarrassing for Wang Fulin, there are no unspoken rules in these days, and actresses are even more unlikely to be willing to be dived. Although the 80s was a very strange era, when making a movie, the director said "dedication to art", but the actor said that he would take it off, and the scale was beyond the reach of even 30 years later.
But it is extremely difficult to engage in unspoken rules in private, and the risks are prohibitive. In the final analysis, probably the "dedication to art" in people's mouths is really "showing up for art".
There is no evil way to go, and Wang Fulin also struggled to think of this hand. For the filming funds of Dream of Red Mansions, he simply made an overdraft.
Although the actors of Liu Guanzhang and the three are not the original, their appearance is no different from that of the original, which shows that Wang Fulin has really put a lot of effort into it.
Hu Wenhai pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Is the budget not enough for the filming of Dream of Red Mansions?"
He was also a little strange in his heart, the filming of Dream of Red Mansions in history only cost more than 6 million yuan, which is completely incomparable with the nearly 200 million in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But the Romance of the Three Kingdoms funds are insufficient, but I haven't heard that the money for Dream of Red Mansions is not enough.
"Well, to tell you the truth, although the funds of Dream of Red Mansions are not abundant, they cannot be said to be insufficient. Wang Fulin smiled a little embarrassedly: "But if you want to take the Red Mansion to the next level, the money is still a little insufficient." For example, if Baoyu sleepwalks in too virtual realm, this effect can't be done. But I found out that there is a computer technology abroad that can do this effect......"
Hu Wenhai suddenly realized, and suddenly said: "Oh, Director Wang is talking about CG technology, right?
"Yes, yes, that's it! it's this duang!" Wang Fulin nodded in surprise, as if surprised that Hu Wenhai could understand these things.
"You've found the right person!" Hu Wenhai laughed: "Is Director Wang planning to take these special effects abroad to do them?
"Domestic ...... Is there a unit that can do this?"
"Not at the moment, but there is a similar technology. In industry, now computer-aided drawing has also been applied, if Director Wang is willing to let the country do it, I will pay for it!"
Although movie special effects can't be done in China, that's just the difference between Maya and 3dmax. The auxiliary drawing developed for the giant section shipbuilding method is no different from the special effects of the movie in principle.
Based on the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hu Wenhai believes that this is not a big problem.
"That, that's really great!" Wang Fulin was overjoyed, he was nervous when he came before, and he didn't know how to convince Hu Wenhai. After all, it is really a bit of a bit of a stretch to support yourself in the Dream of Red Mansions when the budget is quite sufficient, and then invest a sum of money in it, and I don't know if I can succeed in special effects.
Who knew that he had just mentioned it, and he got a positive answer, it was like a dream. No, when Wang Fulin was dreaming, he never dreamed of such a generous investor.
Hu Wenhai waited for Wang Fulin to calm down with a smile, and then asked, "In addition, I don't know if Director Wang is interested, after Principal Cui's script is finished, he will also take on the role of the director of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
β¦β¦
Hu Wenhai talked with Wang Fulin for a long morning, and at noon invited him to have a light meal with "Liu Guanzhang", and then sent the person to the door in person.
Under Wang Fulin's repeated excuses, he dismissed the construction of Jian Yì who asked Wang Ye to drive them.
As soon as Wang Fulin and his party left, Qin Kai walked over with a notepad. I only heard him say with some complaints: "Mr. Hu, I postponed the request for Mayor Wang and Director Zhu to meet until the afternoon, and now there is not much time." β
"Oh, let's go, where are we going to meet?"
"Mayor Wang and Director Zhu are investigating at Xinke, let's just go to the factory. β
"Then go to the factory. Hu Wenhai nodded, changed his clothes and walked out.
Qin Kai opened the car door first, and after Hu Wenhai sat in, he got into the driver's seat, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask admonishmently.
"Mr. Hu, there are so many important things waiting for you to deal with, why do you spend so much time on filming TV series? β
Hu Wenhai thought about the messy ideological field of China in later generations, shook his head lightly, and said: "Propaganda position, if you don't occupy it, the enemy will occupy it." β
β¦β¦
"The Japanese are very high-spirited now, and the appreciation of the yen does not seem to have a particularly negative impact on Japanese society at the moment. Although Japan's import and export trade has declined, the Americans have not been able to achieve their fundamental goal of demanding a stronger yen. Although the value of US imports from Japan this year has decreased compared with last year, international investment in Japan has shown a very high growth rate. In this way, the hot money entering Japan not only compensated for the decline in export earnings, but even more capital entered the country, which made the whole of Japanese society very prosperous......"
"Oh, so the purpose of the Plaza Accord in America has not been achieved?"
"It can't be said that the original goal of the Americans was to get rid of the dollar debt. The so-called depreciation of the dollar is a shearing of the wool of major creditor countries. In this respect, the Plaza Accord was a success. β
"However, the United States shears Japan's wool, why is Japan more prosperous?"
"Let me answer this question. β
The door of the reception room of Xinke Company was pushed open, Hu Wenhai walked in with squinted eyes and a smile, and stretched out his hand to Director Zhu from afar.
"Director Zhu, it's been a long time since I've said goodbye to Japan. β
Director Zhu hurriedly got up, shook hands with Hu Wenhai, looked at each other and smiled: "Mr. Hu is a dragon who sees the head but not the end, and it is really difficult to see each other!"
"Director Zhu is picking on me! I admit my mistake, and I will definitely trouble Director Zhu a few more times in the future. β
"I can't ask for it!" Director Zhu laughed.
"Mr. Hu. β
"Mr. Hu, it's really rare to go back to Embroidery City. β
After Hu Wenhai let go of Director Zhu, he shook hands with Fang Jiange and Wang Yichun. The person who introduced the investment situation in Japan to Director Zhu before was Fang Jiange, who was in charge of foreign exchange investment in Japan by Hu Wenhai.
"Let Director Zhu wait, I'm sorry. The first thing Hu Wenhai did when he sat down was to apologize to Director Zhu. released the doves of the deputy director of the Economic Commission for a morning, and it was light to apologize, that is, Mr. Hu had this face.
"Mr. Hu is polite, I took a look around the Xinke factory in the morning, which was an eye-opener!" Director Zhu smiled, indicating that this matter had been revealed, and then asked: "Mr. Hu, can you tell me why the yen has become more prosperous after the appreciation?"
"Because these international funds have not been transformed into productivity growth, but have become a bunch of numbers in the financial industry. β
Hu Wenhai said lightly: "Finance is like a fertilizer for farming. Without fertilizers, crops grow slowly and bear less fruit. But if you use too much chemical fertilizer, you will also burn the seedlings to death, or lead the soil to harden. In Japanese society, there is now too much chemical fertilizer, except for a very small number of chemical fertilizers that are absorbed by plants, and the vast majority of chemical fertilizers are only stored in the soil. β
"In fact, just look at what industries these international tourists enter Japan, and now Japan's imports and exports are shrinking, but there is more money in society, and obviously money has not entered the production field. The more prosperous the stock market, the real estate market, the foreign exchange market, and the more prosperous the financial speculation fields are, the weaker the profits in the industrial field will be, and more social funds will be directed into these fields. Then the prices of products in the financial market are getting higher and higher, so high that they are so high that they are out of touch with the actual level, Director Zhu, what do you say will happen to this?"
Director Zhu swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "It will lead to a financial bubble." β
"Yes, one day this bubble won't be able to blow down, snapped-" Hu Wenhai made an explosive gesture: "If the bubble bursts, the Japanese economy will be finished." β
"This ......" Director Zhu hesitated for a moment, frowned and asked, "Isn't it true that the Japanese government can't see it, so it won't supervise the funds?"
"If it had been the sixties and seventies, the Japanese government might still have the ability. Hu Wenhai scoffed: "As for now, even if you know, you can't do anything." It is no longer the people in charge of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry who are in charge now, but with the end of the consolidation of Japan's major conglomerates, capital is now the real master of power. In addition, the capital that poured into Japan after the Plaza Accord was mainly funded by the American consortium. Does this son of the Japanese government dare to stop his father from making money?"
Director Zhu was drenched in cold sweat when he heard this, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not. However, when I think of Hu Wenhai, the only seedling of China's largest capitalist today, I am really entangled in my heart. Obviously, Hu Wenhai's identity makes this prediction, which is undoubtedly doubly convincing. But also because of his identity, it seems inexplicably weird to put the root cause so naked.
"Hehe, Director Zhu can take a look at the Federal Republic of Germany, another signatory to the Plaza Accord, and see how they do it. If you compare the two, you can see what the situation of the Japanese is now. β
Hu Wenhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this for now, anyway, the Japanese have money, and it is more convenient for us to take out loans for black circulation, which is always a good thing." Or let's talk about the matter of China Railway Construction Investment, I heard that the comrades of the People's Bank of China also followed Director Zhu, I don't know what the central government means by the establishment of China Railway Construction Investment?"
Director Zhu calmed down and said: "The People's Bank of China has completed the preliminary review of the preparations, and as for the central government, of course, we want to fully support the establishment of China Railway Construction Investment." β
"With China Railway Construction Investment Bank, I believe it will have a strong role in promoting the economy of Bohai Province and even the whole of China. Especially the technology and equipment mastered by China Railway Construction Investment-" Director Zhu said here, glanced at Hu Wenhai meaningfully, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It is very important to the improvement of China's industrial level!"
Hu Wenhai couldn't help but pour cold water on Director Zhu: "Actually, Director Zhu, you didn't notice that China is also facing the same problem as Japan?"
"Oh?" Director Zhu shook his head: "We don't have a lot of foreign investment, and we don't have to rely on the Americans to get by, like Japan, where do you start?"
"China Railway Construction has invested in it, but it has a real tens of billions of dollars. Although it is not worth mentioning compared to the foreign investment in Japan, China's own foreign investment base is much smaller. The $10 billion or $20 billion has poured into the country in the last two years, so what problems will it cause, and does the state have any idea about it?"
This is also a problem that Hu Wenhai has only recently woken up to, before he only subconsciously wanted to develop the economy of Xiucheng. But with the rapid increase in the wages of Xiucheng workers in the past two years, a problem has emerged.
Inflation, lack of goods. The basic salary of two or three hundred for the workers in Xiucheng was definitely a high salary in the eighties. However, the Xiucheng supply and marketing system operates according to the planned economy. This complicates the problem, with planned products becoming increasingly difficult to come by, and unplanned products rising in price.
This is no longer just a pot of dual price systems, but inflation caused by excessive monetary input in one region. Of course, inflation was in China throughout the eighties, but the level of inflation in Xiucheng was even higher than that of Shengjing, the provincial capital of Bohai Province.
Wages cannot rise prices, and the quality of life will decrease. Factories are making money, but it is more difficult than ever for workers to maintain their quality of life.
Director Zhu couldn't help but bow his head in contemplation, and after a long time, he frowned and raised his head: "After Mr. Hu said this, the situation is indeed somewhat similar. β
"What Director Zhu said before is also right, we are not Japan after all. Japan has already boarded a thief ship and cannot get off, but our government is still powerful, and its control over the market is much stronger than that of the Japanese government. β
Hu Wenhai continued to make persistent efforts, and continued: "In fact, the problem is very simple, if these tens of billions of dollars of capital are put on the market like this, there is no reliable means of recycling. The end result is nothing more than our own economy, which also bursts like a bubble in Japan. β
This truth is not difficult to understand, and even later generations of online games know it. For example, the operation of World of Warcraft even requires economists to design a complete economic model to ensure the amount of game currency recovered. As a result, the trading ratio of gold coins and RMB in World of Warcraft on the Internet can be maintained within a relatively stable range for a relatively long period of time.
The fact is that the value of the gold coins of the Chinese World of Warcraft was even more stable than the exchange rate of the Vietnamese dong for a long time before the "special late". And the ratio to huΓ n is more valuable than the Vietnamese dong!
Director Zhu nodded subconsciously and asked, "So, what does Mr. Hu think should be done?"
"Both of them are actually what we are preparing to do in Bohai Province. Hu Wenhai stretched out two fingers: "First, the reform of the supply and marketing system." Second, the dual-track price system should be gradually abolished. β
