Chapter 132: When you have money, you toss hard

On October 30, this newspaper reported that "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", which was released nationwide not long ago, deserved a good reputation because of its excellent production. However, because of the appearance of pirated discs, it had a great impact on the box office of the film. Recently, after a close investigation by the public security organs, the pirates have been arrested, and a huge piracy syndicate has been dug up. After investigation, this is a typical case of self-theft by guards, criminals buy theater workers, obtain copies of movies, and then ......"

This thing has been found out, it is a guy who has access to copies, and he was stuffed with money, and then he stole the copies, and then the pirated copies came out. There are quite a few, it is said to be a million, and an assembly line has been dug up with it.

It's not difficult at all, the whole process of solving the case can be said to be lightning fast, because the police are not stupid, they know where the target is, and later they took the initiative to surrender and confessed a lot of things.

Of course, as for that person, whether he is looking for a substitute for the ghost, this is unknown. Whether the assembly line for the production of pirated copies is just that one, we can't delve into it, and if we dig deeper, we don't know how many are involved.

Did Yu Dong have more scruples about it? Did it offend people?

Regardless of whether the fuck is offended or not, Lao Tzu gave this evil breath first!

This is said to be very pleasant, but if you want to fight with the wicked, you must be more cunning than the wicked, Wu Xiang has actually thought of a countermeasure a long time ago, but let this matter go first. Now Wu Xiang can't manage so much for the time being, he has a new plan, a big plan!

"Xiaohai. You're going to come and play my film, that's good. Especially suitable for you, it is a female nurse of the Eighth Route Army who is a little petty bourgeoisie. Wu Xiang has started recruiting actors again. His first object is his current 'object', Hai Qing.

"Oh, I've said it, I don't want to act in your film, how can we get along in the crew? Besides, when the relationship between the two of us is exposed in the future, then people won't have to say anything about us, I rely on your relationship to become famous?" Hai Qing is naturally still very able to adhere to principles.

"Hey~" Wu Xiang sighed, "Xiaohai, I really can't help it." That's a tight budget. ”

"You, who told you to do something!" Hai Qing's eyebrows furrowed, she was really unruly with her boyfriend sometimes.

Why is Wu Xiang's budget tight again? Didn't his previous "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" and "The First Close Contact" have a lot of box office?

That's right, it's really awesome at the box office, and Wu Xiang did get a lot of shares, the current "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" has not been released yet, and he can't get a share, but the money of "The First Close Contact" has returned, which is the box office share that was previously released in Japan.

There are two parts to the Japanese side. Don't forget that there is another film, which is "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", which also has a very good box office, with 350 million yen. Coupled with the box office of more than 500 million yen in "The First Close Contact", Wu Xiang got a total of almost 3 million US dollars!

That's a lot of money, but that's not all. Not only did these two films make dollars, but don't forget the one "Get in the Car." Let's go", didn't this film follow "The First Time" to be taken by a French company called M6 to share the account. What I didn't expect was that the film "The First Time" was very average in France and Europe, and it only got a box office of about 2 million euros in the end, but "Get in the Car, Let's Go" was an unexpected success!

As soon as this low-budget film was released in France and Europe, it immediately set off a movie-watching frenzy, collecting more than 20 million euros as a dark horse!

That's right, that's the result, a very unexpected result, no one expected!

Originally, Wu Xiangdu summed up that "The First Close Contact" could have a good performance, but "Get in the Car, Let's Go" became a dark horse, and even European film critics thought it was too strange, and the glasses were shattered.

In the end, someone analyzed that the reason why this film was successful may also be related to her theme, that is, xenophobia.

Xenophobia, these two words, not only in our country, but also abroad, and they are also quite strict.

Take France as an example, the famous city of Ba (He) Leba, in fact, should be called Ba (He) Lebanon Region, but it is this region, the people in it, people outside of Ba (He) Leba, they all wear all kinds of colored glasses.

They are also xenophobic, and they are very strong, as long as they are outside the Ba (and) Lebanese region, they are all countrymen, what horses, all of them, all of them are rural!

In addition, these European countries, they themselves have a lot of immigrants, blacks, white hats, there are too many, and they have all been ostracized.

Of course, the people who applauded and bought tickets at the beginning must be international students or overseas Chinese, they are far away in a foreign land, and when they hear the local sound, they see the story in this movie, they are really empathetic, and they are moved one by one......

Love is contagious, and many people who have had such an experience can cry when they see it.

In other words, in fact, the psychological resonance that this film can cause is too much, yes, it is much more than the domestic box office!

This box office success is very unexpected, but it is also reasonable.

It's the name of this film that's a little depressing, and the M6 company is also quite damaged, and the translated name is "Two Steel Eggs"!

At that time, Wu Xiang was angry, but fortunately he understood the word 'steel egg', which is the stupid in French, not that Wu Xiang was proficient in French, but that he had seen a movie "Shut Up" by Depardieu, who had acted in the "big nose" Depardieu.

In the end, at Wu Xiang's insistence, this film was called "Two Countrymen".

Yes, at least it's stronger than steel eggs, and these crooked nuts are hurting their mouths.

The success of this film was an accident, but it also made Wu Xiang make a lot of money, and he personally received more than 5 million euros, plus the share of "The First Time". Wu Xiang can now use all the foreign exchange in his hands if he converts it into US dollars. It's already more than $10 million.

This is really a lot of money, and those who have this money are already old bulls this year. Awesome!

However, don't forget, this money is called dollars.

Isn't it better to have US dollars? Yes, it's very good, but this US dollar can't enter the country lightly, this is not okay, the state has control over foreign exchange, if you want to come in. Then you have to pass guò a few forms shì.

One is to go to the black market, needless to say, 10 million US dollars, and in the end, 7 million can be left, which will give you face. But don't underestimate the black market, this black market is not actually black, it is done by serious professionals, but the channels they use and the methods they use are both legal and illegal. So the cost is high. But there are also advantages, that is, they are fast, and they really do things with money.

The other is to go through the normal channels. Accepting foreign exchange control, little by little, it flows into the country, like ants moving. It's very, very slow, and almost no one uses it.

Is there no other way? Of course. Don't forget that there is a place where the living can suffocate urine?

Hong Kong. As an Asian financial center, one of its important functions is the conversion between RMB and US dollars, of course, the black market mentioned before is also done by them, but there is another way, the cost is smaller, and the speed is quite fast.

That is to open a company in Hong Kong, and then use this capital as an investment to invest in the mainland, so that it is reasonable and legal, and there are various policy support. It's fast and the cost is the lowest, but you need to have an agency in Hong Kong to take care of these things for you, so you have to hire some people, and you have to pay taxes to the Hong Kong government.

This is the most commonly used method, after earning a large amount of foreign exchange, although the export payment is otherwise stipulated, but the vast majority of mainland companies will do this, in fact, many Hong Kong companies, especially large companies, have a Chinese background, or simply a red-top businessman.

In fact, Hong Kong's prosperity is also related to this reason, how to put it, she can't do without the mainland at all.

Wu Xiang is not stupid, and he knows more or less about this matter, he was a small screenwriter of anti-Japanese dramas before, in fact, the most invested in anti-Japanese dramas are all funds from Hong Kong, very unexpected, right?

In fact, there are many things to say in this, and if you want to dig deeper, you will not be able to finish talking about it for a while.

Therefore, Wu Xiang opened a company in Hong Kong, called Haixiang Holdings, well, the level of this guy's name is very bad and terrible.

Then what does this company do, it is naturally to invest in the mainland, but Wu Xiang chooses to invest in real estate, that is, to buy a building!

Buy a building, it's not a small building, Wu Xiang's idea is that this building is called 307 Building, build a high-rise building, and then each floor has her common use, such as indoor shooting, such as personnel training, and even film special effects production......

Anyway, this is a film and television base, a foundation, Wu Xiang wants to do it once and for all, I will build the foundation here, become a film and television production, entertainment, and even film and television technology development, and become a top film and television company in Asia, and even the world's top film and television company!

This plan is not grandiose or ambitious, but this investment is really big.

Yes, even if Wu Xiang is so rich now, he still lives with Haiqing in a small courtyard outside the fifth ring road of the capital, and he is not even in a hurry to buy a car. Of course, part of this is the reason why Haiqing will live, but you still have to save money.

This is the so-called, the greater the power, the greater the ambition, on the contrary, that is, how big the heart is, how big the stage is, in layman's terms, that is money, toss hard!

This year is not bad, the land is cheap, in the East Third Ring Road, Wu Xianghui came to a piece of land, commercial use, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters, spent more than 40 million RMB!

It's so cheap! After Wu Xiang negotiated with the company that originally used this land, he was going crazy with joy.

But in fact, it turned out that the company was also crazy, because the land was not so expensive in these years, and Wu Xiang's price was very high, otherwise it would not have been traded so quickly.

Anyway, Wu Xiang's idea is that the more than 10 million US dollars will be tossed, of course, this is the money to build a building, and those equipment and other equipment will have to be added in the future.

This transaction does not lose, does not lose at all, and when the housing prices rise in the future, even if the film and television base does not succeed, but I will make money just by renting out the office, we can't drink soup if we don't speculate on the house?

It's just that now, this fund is still tight, and the cost has to continue to be controlled.

However, this prospect is infinitely better, and Wu Xiang has even seen a few years later, a modern film and television production center has sprung up, bringing together all kinds of talents in China, using it as a foundation to build his own entertainment empire......

Of course, this beautiful vision still has to wait, so let's focus on the current business and save money from casting first.

"Xiaohai, help. ”

"Don't play the heroine!" Haiqing finally let go.

"Okay, there's a good supporting actress, and there aren't many scenes, but you wear the clothes of that time, and this style will give you two braids, tsk, it's beautiful. ”

"Giggles...... Haiqing was praised by others, she was naturally happy, she agreed, there are not many scenes, it shouldn't have any impact, when she helped him, she asked, "What's the name of your film?"

Wu Xiang replied with a smile, "Bright sword!" (to be continued......
