Chapter 4 The grand dream of the big fat sea

In fact, in terms of Hai Da Fat going back to inherit the family business, Jiangbei personally is very supportive. Aside from Hai Da Fat's lack of talent for filmmaking, as one of the 'accomplices' who once participated in Li Youqing's departure from the entertainment industry, he should not continue to stay in the entertainment industry.

After all, as long as there is communication in a circle, it is easy to leak secrets, and many uncontrollable factors appear.

So to be able to leave, that's the best.

At least there is no need to worry about the secret leaking out of Hai Da Fat's mouth.

However, this is Jiangbei's own inner thoughts, and the main reason why Hai Da Pang is really forced to leave the entertainment industry and go back to inherit the family business is ......

"At present, more than 99% of the investors in the entertainment industry now withdraw their investment without saying a word when they hear that I am directing the film, even if it is a nominal producer. I have no choice but to go back and inherit the family business. ”

An open-air barbecue stall, Hai Da Pang and Jiangbei's family sat around a table, and Hai Da Pang, who had already drunk in advance, was blushing and spitting out bitter water, telling his bitterness.

"They are going to ruin a director genius who has not been born for a hundred years!"

"Director Hai, don't be discouraged, I think as long as you work hard, you will prove yourself one day. Li Youqing saw that Hai Da Fat was crying sadly, and hurriedly comforted.

Jiang Bei and Zhang Jiuliang next to them lowered their heads and nibbled on the barbecue, not only did they not feel pity for Hai Da Fat's bitter words, but they wanted to laugh a little.

Because looking at Hai Da Fat's directorial career in the past few years, starting from the first "Santa Claus", there have been nearly ten movies that have been filmed inland in the past few years, of which 70% are lost money.

Be.

Investing is inherently a risky thing, and not every film from every director is guaranteed to be a hit.

One fire fights, one small loss, and everyone can accept it.

But the problem is that Hai Da Fat's successful movies have nothing to do with those investors in the entertainment industry, but it is the movies that hit the street that let them get into the car.

If this is reasoned according to conspiracy theories, investors will have to wonder if Hai Da Pang wants to bring down the capital predators in the entire entertainment industry by himself.

Even if you don't make any conspiracy theories, after investing in Hai Da Fat two or three times in a row and failing miserably, those film and television companies are bankrupt and shrinking, who still has the money to invest in his movies?

And those film and television companies that have not invested in Hai Da Fat Movies will see that the people who have invested have ended up so miserably, how can they send them to the door?

So after coming and going, our big fat brothers were completely rejected by the capital market in the entertainment industry, and no one was willing to continue to pay IQ tax.

"There's no chance. Hai Da Pang shook his head, picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the sky, and sighed: "After the sun rises tomorrow, there will be no director Hai Da Pang in the world." Yes, it will only be the successor of Dafu Real Estate. ”

"I suspect you're pretending to be in disguise. Liang Liang, who was gnawing on the squid, raised his head and said suspiciously.

"Be confident, take the word doubt out. Jiangbei ridiculed.

"Brother Jiang, Sister Liang, you really misunderstood that I was fat!" Hai Da Fat almost couldn't hold back crying when he heard this, his face was full of grievances, and he said, "You know." Rather than being the successor of the richest man, I hope that I will continue to chase my dreams. It's like Brother Jiang ...... for the sake of the young sister"

"Ahem!"

Jiang Bei, who was eating skewers, suddenly choked on chili peppers, covered his chest and turned his head to the side and coughed violently.

"Beibei, are you okay? Li Youqing hurriedly patted Jiangbei's back, and then picked up the soy milk he drank and handed it over, looking concerned.

"Brother, paper. Liang Liang also took out two pieces of paper and handed them to his brother, and then glanced at Hai Da Fat, and the slightest murderous aura loomed.

Hai Da Fat came back to his senses at this time, bowed his head and laughed like a child who had done something wrong, and did not dare to continue to speak.

"I'm fine. Jiang Bei took a sip of soy milk to ease his senses, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and glanced at Li Youqing's expression again, then looked at Hai Da Pang and pulled the topic back, and asked: "You said that your dream is to make a movie, so what is the purpose of your movie? Make money? Or become famous? You must know that dreams also have an end." ”

Hai Da Pang was stunned by this sentence, and thought for a while with the wine bottle before whispering: "I may be afraid of your jokes when I say it, I don't make movies for money or fame, I just want the Star Award to have a place for our Chinese films and contribute to the rise of our Chinese films." ”

(ノ⊙ω⊙) ノ嚯! Liang Liang shook his head and exclaimed, then picked up the lamb skewers and began to nibble.

"Since the establishment of the Star Award in 1927, no Chinese director or actor has won this award. Li Youqing said thoughtfully.

The Star Award is an international film award, and it is also the highest honor award of international nature, and the highest honor pursued by those engaged in the film and television industry around the world.

However, due to the late development of the Chinese film and television industry, the lack of attention to the cultivation of upstream talents, and the obsession with traffic and popularity in recent years, the level of the Chinese film and television industry has not been improved, and it still stays at the 'entertainment level', rather than rising to the 'spiritual level' in the real sense.

Therefore, it is difficult for Chinese film and television dramas to be selected for the Star Award.

If no work is selected, no one will win the honor.

"You must think it's ridiculous that a king of bad movies like me can have such an idea, right?" Hai Da Fat seemed to have drunk a little too much, his chubby face was red, and he stuck out his big tongue when he spoke.

"Your idea is not ridiculous at all, but it is done in the wrong way. Jiangbei touched his chin and said.

"Brother Jiang means ......," Hai Dapang asked curiously.

Jiangbei definitely doesn't want Hai Da Pang to continue making movies, so how to help him transfer this obsession has become the most critical.

Eat two more bites of roasted leeks.

I took another sip of my wife's soy milk.

The old man began to ramble.

"Since your goal is to have a place in our Chinese film at the Star Awards, why don't you use your existing resources to accomplish this goal, instead of starting at the bottom?"

Hai Da Fat looked dazed, obviously still didn't understand the meaning.

On the contrary, Li Youqing didn't understand what he heard, and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "Beibei, do you mean to let Director Hai use the energy of the family's rich cinema?"

Jiang Bei nodded and shook his head, and said: "Not only can you use Dafu Cinema, but the entire Dafu Real Estate can become the cornerstone of your dreams." You have to know that hard work and sweat are not enough to achieve your dreams, you have to have a cornerstone. And this cornerstone is, to put it bluntly, money. ”

"Without money as a cornerstone, what do you talk about dreams?"

"It's like you're being isolated by the capital of the entertainment industry now, isn't it because they don't want to invest and give you money?"

"Since you can't survive in the downstream rules of the game, why don't you just have a showdown, become the maker of the rules of the game, and control everything to complete your dreams, wouldn't that be equivalent to having a shortcut?"

"If you can't stand on the podium of the Star Awards as a director, then it is better to make your company's name the most eye-catching presence at the Star Awards. ”

Hai Da Fat is different from others.

He has a starting point and a height that most people can't reach.

So there are many ways to accomplish your dreams.

For example, those giant foreign film and television companies, basically every year the company's internal films can be nominated for the Star Award, and when everyone reports the movie, the company's name will be mentioned in front.

If Hai Da Pang can take this path, maybe he will come faster than being a director.

The September evening breeze was a bit cool, blowing clouds over the barbecue stalls, and the occasional car passing by the roadside kicked up the dust.

Li Youqing wrapped his thin clothes, and inadvertently leaned on Jiangbei to keep warm, but his eyes were staring with interest at a stray cat on the ground that ran from nowhere, eating the food that fell under the table.

Jiang Bei moved the chair back, and put his free hand around his wife's waist, so that she could get closer and warmer.

The gambling king has good physical fitness, but the time has passed nine o'clock, and the little girl's upper and lower eyelids began to fight, obviously a little unbearable.

Hai Da Fat sat silently in his chair and fell into deep thought, and the beer bottle in his hand was unconsciously put down by him.

Until the end, Jiangbei dragged his wife and sister away, and he didn't come back to his senses.

……

The days ahead were still busy.

Since that night, Hai Da Fat has been silent, and no one knows what kind of decision he made.

Li Youqing still runs into the company every day, trying her best to understand the company's recent business status through the mouths of other artists in the company, hoping to find strong evidence for the company to give her resources.

Jiangbei is also very busy, although Erjing Film and Television has Liangliang and left and right staring, but the creation of a hot pot restaurant brand chain is imminent.

After XXX brought back the Shizhu red variety of chili pepper and successfully developed the most perfect hot pot base recipe, the establishment of the hot pot brand chain enterprise was upgraded to the agenda.

First of all, Jiangbei used the marketing model of Haidilao in the previous life to get Li Youqing's approval and allocated 50 million, after obtaining the initial start-up capital, he took the lead in setting up the catering company, and then rented the originally optimistic store, and let XXX serve as the manager of the catering company, responsible for the decoration of the store and recruitment, training and other work.

Of course, it's not realistic to leave all these things to XXX to do, after all, there is a model for Haidilao, and no company in the world has ever done this, so he has to teach it by word and deed.

As a result, there is very little free time, and most of the day is spent training and supervising renovations.

However, occasionally Jiangbei will pull Li Youqing to help in the store, trying to arouse her interest in the catering industry.

It's a pity that Xiao Nizi is only interested in decoration, and after designing a set of store decoration styles herself, she went back to Erjing Film and Television to toss resources.

Jiangbei didn't care about this, and renovated the store according to the decoration plan given by Li Youqing, but he had to make a little problem if he was fine, and then he would find her to solve the problem, which made Xiao Nizi lose his temper and scolded Jiangbei as soon as he came up: "Beibei, can you be as mature as an adult?" I even gave you the drawings and plans of the entire decoration style, and I will tell you some questions at night, why do you still have something you don't understand?"

Faced with his wife's questioning, the old man could only try all kinds of Li Youhe excuses to prevaricate, and in the end, Li Youqing, who was forced to be helpless, could only run back to the store to supervise.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that she didn't find out anything.

"Brother, the left and right are really ruthless enough, and in order to avoid letting my sister-in-law find an excuse to entangle, I actually cut off 70% of the company's external business in one go. Now I think it is estimated that the profits of Erjing Film and Television have shrunk significantly this year. Liang Liang quickly found out the reason, and his tone was full of amazement.

Jiang Bei didn't get angry when he heard this, but touched his chin and said: "Although the left and right approach is a bit of a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred to self-damage, as long as I can play the show well, I don't care how much money I lose." ”

"But Erjing Film and Television's practice will affect the stock price of Erjing Cinema Line, and the stock price of Erjing Cinema Line fell by three percent yesterday alone, and the market value shrank by hundreds of millions. If the financial growth at the end of this year is much lower than last year, or even a loss, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Erjing Cinema Line is the Sanchuan Cinema Line before the bankruptcy. Liang Liang said worriedly.

"Bankruptcy? It's good to be bankrupt, it's best that the entire Erjing Film and Television is in a bankruptcy crisis. Jiang Bei smiled, his eyes full of schadenfreude.

Take a look.

It is estimated that this is the only boss who expects his company to fall into bankruptcy crisis.

Liang Liang shrugged, so he had to stop mentioning this matter, and walked towards the study with the paper in his arms: "Brother, borrow your study for a while." ”

"What are you going to do? you want to paint in my study?" asked Jiang Bei.

"Yes, the school is cooperating with a foreign animation company outside, and we want our school to help draw some animation original paintings. Naturally, the school assigned these tasks to us students, and your sister was unlucky enough to receive the ultimate task. There was a cool and slightly helpless voice in the study.

Is the school working with an animation company?

It sounds like cooperating with the crew in the Academy of Fine Arts, after all, the art students in the Academy of Fine Arts all have solid and steady painting skills. And the most indispensable thing for animation films produced by animation companies is the artist.

But what the hell is the ultimate mission?

Jiang Bei was a little curious, and couldn't help but shout at the study: "What ultimate task?"

"My task is to draw the main character of the animation, and it can't be a human yet, do you think it's difficult?"

"Is there any remuneration for the manuscript?"

"Of course, but what I value more is the diploma that the school promised. ”

"Let you finish early?"

"Not really. ”

"What's that?"

"You can use it as a death-free token once to avoid being dissuaded right now. ”
