Chapter 436: The Xiangjiang Incident

People will grow, and this growth is not necessarily the accumulation of time, but more of the experience brought by experience. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the blink of an eye, Wang Yao's growth has reached a new height.

When he saw that Master Ku Shulan's situation would have a deep hatred for this unjust society and some people, he was furious.

But now, instead of being angry, he has turned into an inspiration.

Because he knows that anger is a powerless thing, only by working hard, and working harder can make everything he sees better, he thought about being a savior, but he understood that he couldn't save everyone, because those costs, even if he was hanging, couldn't bear it.

So he can only save what he can see, the most basic.

For example, those poor children, those children only need some materials and some basic platforms, and these Wang Yao can provide them, because compared to Wang Yao's current speed of making money, these basic supplies can still be reached.

The living expenses of poor children are less than 500 yuan per month, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, they are different from children from working-class families, as long as they can eat enough and dress warmly, they do not care whether the food is good or not, and whether the clothes look good or not.

6,000 yuan a year, Wang Yao supports 100,000 children, and the annual expenditure is less than one billion, which is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but for some businessmen, it is not much, and the annual company dividends are enough.

And there are at least a hundred people with this ability in the Dragon Kingdom, among them there are officials and businessmen, and the reason why they don't do this is because they are different from Wang Yao, they can only donate money, and donating money can't solve the problem, it's a bottomless pit, they would rather continue to invest this money and expand the amount of their careers.

But Wang Yao is different, his funding for poor areas is an investment, providing them with an opportunity to create additional value, because the only threshold for the diversity of jobs provided by Wang Yao is to be willing to endure hardship.

And this is what the people in the officially impoverished areas are least lacking.

The hardest-working, most industrious, and most able to endure hardships are the people in these areas where they can't eat, because they are not educated, they have no other ability to work except to sell their physical strength, but in modern society, the return of selling physical strength has always been unequal.

This is a deformed phenomenon that can be regarded as 'eating without culture', which will cause the poor to become poorer and the rich to become richer.

Some of the traditional handicrafts provided by Wang Yao are relatively low-cost jobs at the door, and the remuneration given is relatively generous, which not only allows young people to stay in the village to build the village, but also avoids the disadvantages caused by left-behind children and the elderly.

And these handmade products Wang Yao will be turned into handicrafts through commercial packaging, which will add some additional value, but may not be profitable, but after this market is raised, it will gain huge benefits.

Wang Yao's investment is a thankless act in the eyes of many investors, because Wang Yao's investment may be more rewarding if it is used in other industries.

But what Wang Yao wants is not money, but to change the fate of some people.

Money really means nothing to him.

Therefore, he does everything regardless of the cost, as long as the consequences are within the scope of bearing.

But it is precisely because of this that Wang Yao's success may be even more unexpected.

After the popularity of "Zodiac Turn" in the West, many filmmakers have carefully studied the production of this film, and the fineness of the film and the production technology of more than 60 frames are currently the highest frame rates in the world.

At present, the mainstream shooting technology is 24 frames per second, and the general film may cut corners in some places, because the price of tape movies was expensive in the past, and later because of the rise of digital shooting technology, the cost was greatly reduced, and it stabilized at more than 24 frames.

But a movie with more than 60 frames, and it's also an animated movie, is really unique at the moment.

Not adding one more frame means an increase in cost, especially for animated films, which consume a lot of labor, albeit with current calculation technology.

Someone calculated for Wang Yao that the investment cost of this movie should be more than 200 million US dollars, although the box office of this movie has already exceeded 600 million, but many people still feel that the chance of making money will not be too great, and it may not make as much money as "Shrek" in the first half of the year.

So some people define this movie as a commercial film where the investment and return are not proportional.

Therefore, many investors are not too sure about Wang Yao, a new director, although Harvey is a partner, although Yew Wah Entertainment is famous in Hollywood, there are not many investment customers at present, and there are many old entertainment companies waiting to see the excitement.

After all, the "Zodiac Turn" that came out of nowhere has influenced the plans of many companies.

Especially the other Hollywood blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings" released at the beginning of the month, the box office has exceeded 400 million, and the box office momentum in the United States is even stronger, and it seems that there is a possibility to surpass "Zodiac Turn".

And the investment in this commercial blockbuster is about 100 million US dollars, which can be said to be a big profit.

Including "Harry Potter", which was previously tied to "Zodiac Transfer", the total box office is not bad, in such a comparison, "Zodiac Turn" can only be said to be very eye-catching, but it is not a box office miracle.

But everyone ignores what kind of sensory experience this completely Chinese style and core film brings to Western audiences, which is the true value of this movie.

The film's box office success was so impressive that everyone thought of it as a fast-food commercial movie, and no one realized that the film was actually tearing a fresh cultural import in the West.

And this opening will cause an even bigger sensation next.

Harvey put down the newspaper in his hand, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, looked down at the lights of Hollywood, and sneered, "A bunch of idiots whose brains are blocked by immediate interests." ”

"Boss, Hanks is here. The burly secretary knocked on the door.

"Let him in. Harvey sat back down.

After a while, a young man with a hunched neck and a padded jacket, messy hair and a scruffy beard walked in, "Damn, this is the coldest Hollywood I've ever experienced." ”

Harvey smiled, "You're not filming in Russia?"

"The exterior part is almost over, come back and shoot people. "Since Hanks took over the filming of "81194", he has entered a state of crazy shooting, from a handsome sunny young man to the current raunchy appearance.

Harvey didn't pay much attention to the rookie director recommended by Wang Yao, the first is that "81194" is a small-budget movie, and the second is that there are too many newcomers in Hollywood now, who are idle under the banner of 'for art', and then return their clothes to the society without encountering the appearance of the society.

But after this period of contact and watching some footage films, Harvey's sense of this Hanks has changed greatly, the first is that he does have some real talents, and the second is that this child is very hardworking and serious, which is what he values.

"It's going well. Harvey laughed, "Can you finish it ahead of schedule?"

"Mr. Wang provided good actors, and I didn't have too much trouble with the script and lines, so the shooting went smoothly. Hanks grinned, "I'm here to ask about the promotion of this film." ”

"Yew Wah Company's first film, the publicity work will not be too bad, as long as your work is not too embarrassing. Harvey laughed.

"If I can't shoot such a book again, then I should really go back and change careers to become an accountant. Hanks laughed.

"Then I'm looking forward to it. Harvey smiled, "So, what are you here for?"

"I have something I want to give to Mr. Wang, but I can't contact him right now. Hanks said.

"Give it to me, he's been busy lately, and he might have to get back to you later, is he in a hurry?" asked Harvey.

"It's not a rush. Hanks said, "By the way, boss, I still have a notebook here." ”

"I'll talk about it when you're done. Harvey waved.

..................

Wang Yao has been a little busy recently, and originally wanted to visit several living gentlemen of the Republic of China in the capital, such as Master Ji Xianlin, but suddenly received a call from Leslie Cheung, so he flew to Xiangjiang.

There have been several major events in Xiangjiang recently, the first is that Anita Mui serves as the president of the Xiangjiang Performing Arts Association, which is the first female president, which is also in line with her identity as the eldest sister in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

The second is that Leslie Cheung called.

Liu Jialing, who had a relationship with each other last time, caused a 'kidnapping storm' ten years ago, which was very sensational at the time, and it is rumored that a Xiangjiang bigwig asked her to make a movie, but she didn't agree, and she was retaliated against.

In the end, the matter was settled.

But a few days ago, a newspaper suddenly broke out a group of photos claiming that she was kidnapped and taken at that time, and the resurgence caused an uproar.

This matter has been involved in the media that violated the privacy of artists, coupled with the fact that Liu Jialing is a friend of everyone, and the relationship between Tony Leung, Anita Mui resolutely decided to seek justice for Liu Jialing as soon as she became the president and severely punish the unscrupulous media.
