Chapter 712: Teacher Li Xuejian
Wang Jianlin felt that everyone's words were reasonable, and nodded slightly: "If Zhang Ran simply engages in theme parks, it will not pose a danger to us, the profitability of the tourism industry is very poor, a theme park is tens of billions, it will take more than ten or twenty years to recover the cost, and Zhang Ran cannot build a large number of theme parks in a period of time." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
One of the vice presidents of Wanda asked, "If Zhang Ran and they are just building theme parks, is it possible for us to work together to get the land so that we can get the land at a lower price, and then they build the theme park, and we build villas and houses near the theme park?"
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, this idea seemed to be good, and they all groaned.
In recent years, Wanda has formed a brand effect, because the huge investment in Wanda Plaza, which can quickly stimulate the local economic development, which makes the local government compete to establish business relations with Wanda in the negotiations, Wanda occupies the initiative and has bargaining power, therefore, the cost of obtaining land is often at least half cheaper than other companies.
As a result, Wanda formed a unique business model, taking the land at a very low price, quickly building Wanda Plaza, attracting people through cinemas and shopping malls, thereby driving up land prices, and quickly recovering funds by selling apartments and office buildings, and then they used the same method to build a new Wanda Plaza in the next city. Relying on this model, Wanda has built dozens of Wanda Plazas across the country in just a few years, becoming the leader of China's commercial real estate.
Recently, they want to build Wanda City, which is actually the same model, but in the name of culture, it raises the price of land and then sells the house. Taking Nanchang Wanda City as an example, with a total investment of 40 billion yuan, only 20 billion yuan was spent on the construction of the theme park, and the other half was used to build residential buildings, with a saleable area of 4.75 million square meters. If calculated according to the current local selling price of 9,800 yuan/square meter, the income of this alone will reach 46.5 billion.
Zhang Ran's theme park will definitely drive the appreciation of surrounding real estate. If Wanda can join forces with Zhang Ran and them, while Zhang Ran and them are building a theme park, Wanda will build a house next to it, then Wanda will definitely make a lot of money.
Wang Jianlin pondered for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head and said: "There is the possibility of cooperation, but there is no need, the shortcomings of the theme park model are obvious, you can only rely on the theme park to attract tourists to make money, the speed of return of funds is very slow, the development of this model is slow, Disney has only five theme parks for many years! We can't wait for Zhang Ran to slowly build a theme park." There are still about ten years of gold in the real estate industry, and the most important thing for us is to get more land in the shortest possible time, as long as we get enough land, even if we don't do anything, we can earn several times more with these lands!"
Wang Guiya echoed: "Wang Dong is right, our most important task now is to enclose land, and strive to build a Wanda City in each of the first- and second-tier cities in China within ten years!" He paused and said: "However, although Zhang Ran is young, this person should not be underestimated, I am worried that after he realizes the disadvantages of the theme park model, he will learn from us and develop residences to sell." If he pushes this pattern quickly across the country, then we have a very formidable opponent!"
Ding Benxi muttered: "I don't think it will be in a short time, Zhang Ran is very confident, and his career is so successful, it is impossible to easily change his strategic concept, and when he really realizes the disadvantages of the theme park model and wants to change his strategy, I am afraid it will be four or five years later, at that time we have completed the strategic layout in the first-tier cities." ”
Wang Jianlin laughed: "It's too late to enter the game in four or five years, Zhang Ran is very smart, but after all, he is still too young!"
Zhang Ran naturally didn't know what Wanda's senior management said about him, he was busy with his new play.
This new play is not "Future Apocalypse", but "One Man Puts on the Lights".
At the beginning of this year, Zhang Jingchu saw Chi Zijian's novel "All the Nights in the World" and was about to make it into a movie, and she proudly told Zhang Ran that this novel had just won the Lu Xun Literature Award not long ago. Zhang Ran was quite moved after hearing this, so he looked for the award-winning novels of the Lu Xun Literature Award, the award-winning novels of the Lu Xun Literature Award are novellas and short stories, which seem to be effortless.
After Zhang Ran decided to shoot "One Man Makes a Lantern", Zhang Ran's team began to operate at high speed, asking Liu Heng to rewrite the script, Zhao Fei and they began to survey the scene, the main creators of the crew are all old people who have followed Zhang Ran for many years, they know what Zhang Ran wants, and they don't need Zhang Ran to spend too much effort at all. By now, the pre-production of the film has been almost ready.
In the story of "One Man Putting on the Lights", there are three main characters, the policeman Lao Huang, the mute is smaller, and the criminal steel slag, the heroine is less than naturally played by Zhang Jingchu;
In fact, it is very common for the director's wife or girlfriend to act in bed scenes with other actors, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang have all filmed this kind of scene, and the content is quite popular;
This is true even abroad, in 2008 Leonardo teamed up with Kate Winslet to star in "The Road to Revolution" directed by Sam Mendes. Director Sam Mendes is Winslet's husband, in the movie, Leonardo and Winslet have a set of more intense bed scenes, Sam Mendes generously said in an interview that he was fine. But two years later, Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet divorced, and it was actually this bed scene that caused cracks in their marriage.
The actor of "One Person's Lights" is the policeman Lao Huang, the first choice in Zhang Ran's heart is Li Xuejian, in Zhang Ran's heart, Li Xuejian is a model for actors, and he is truly an artist who can be called both moral and artistic, he has always hoped to cooperate with Li Xuejian, but unfortunately there has never been a suitable opportunity, this time he has found an opportunity.
In a teahouse in Beiping, Zhang Ran personally poured a cup of tea for Li Xuejian and asked, "Mr. Li, have you read the script, I don't know what you think of this play?"
Li Xuejian's voice was a little dry because of nasopharyngeal cancer: "When I read the book, I was very moved, this play tells the story of the lower classes of society, from policemen and drivers to mutes and criminals, their identities are very different, but they have a common feature is loneliness, poverty and loneliness living at the bottom of society, and the loneliness of the whole play is particularly deep." But the whole play is not a particularly desperate scene, I can feel that there is temperature in the whole play, but after watching it, I feel warm in my heart, like a slow-flowing magma in my heart. ”
Zhang Ran was greatly amazed by this, and said sincerely: "Teacher Li, you directly pointed out the theme of the whole play, it is so easy to talk about the role with a master like you! I really like your play, I used to teach students I played "Jiao Yulu" for them, there is a scene I have told them many times, that is, Jiao Yulu sent the technician, squatting down that scene, that kind of state ordinary people can't play. There is also a scene at the train station, the people want to flee the famine, it is snowing heavily, Jiao Yulu came over and looked at those people, that kind of state can only be grasped so accurately by people who have experienced that era. ”
Li Xuejian was a little surprised, like Zhang Ran, who came back from studying abroad, he usually wouldn't watch a play like "Jiao Yulu", but he didn't expect Zhang Ran not only to watch it, but also to use it to commit crimes for students, this young man is really not simple, he nodded slightly: "I did experience it, it was the sixties, I was six or seven years old, I was already in elementary school, I saw those people who fled the famine, and I had a lot of feelings in it when I acted in that scene." ”
Zhang Ran showed such an expression: "So, I have always told students that if you want to play a good role, you have to experience life, if you don't have that kind of life experience, you can't act at all!"
Li Xuejian sighed slightly and said: "Ten or twenty years ago, domestic filmmakers had a stage of experiencing life in advance, but now there are fewer and fewer crews that give time for actors to experience life, and many crews can't wait to start filming as soon as they sign a contract with the actors!"
Zhang Ran couldn't help sighing: "Now everyone is anxious, and the whole society is anxious, but I will give actors time to experience life when filming, and I also ask actors to experience life." Now there are two problems, the first is that this story takes place in a mountain city, which requires the actors to speak a very standard mountain city dialect, and the second is that the character of Lao Huang is an old policeman, and I want that feeling of an old policeman, so we will arrange for you to go to the police station in the mountain city to experience life for two months. It may be hard, I wonder if your body can handle it?"
Zhang Ran knew that Li Xuejian was an actor who insisted on experiencing life for a long time, acting in "Jiao Yulu", he ate cabbage for three months in a row and lost 30 pounds; filming "Zhao Shuli", he went to Shanxi twice to experience life, and playing the Alzheimer's patient in "Hey! Old Man", he squatted in the hospital to do his homework, but Li Xuejian had cancer, and his physical condition was not very good, so let him go to the police station to experience life, running around all day long, whether his body could afford to eat was a problem.
Li Xuejian said briskly: "No problem, I'm in good health." Immediately, he said very seriously: "I am a little far away from the role of Lao Huang, especially he has obvious professional characteristics, and he must go to Lao Huang's living environment to live for a period of time and experience life, otherwise he will not be sure!"
"That's great, Mr. Li, you are the best candidate for Lao Huang in my heart, with you in charge, then our play will be half the success!" Zhang Ran raised his teacup and said, "Mr. Li, let's do one!"
Li Xuejian laughed, he always thought that Zhang Ran was so young and so successful, he should be the kind of thoughtful and proud young man, but he didn't expect to have a childish side, he picked up the teacup and touched Zhang Ran: "We did it!"
The two then chatted for a while, and after the whole thing was settled, Zhang Ran paid the bill and left the teahouse. Zhang Ran was driving to the peak of the century, and he didn't drive far when his mobile phone rang suddenly, and he glanced at it, it was Cai Yinong calling.
Zhang Ran picked up the phone, Cai Yinong would not call directly for no reason, there should be something wrong, and asked, "Mr. Cai, what's wrong?
"We are now at the Huairou Bayi base, and the group leaders here have asked our crew not to hire extras from other units, and the crew must eat in the canteen they manage. We didn't agree, and they came to make trouble. When we were filming costume dramas, they were dangling in front of the camera in modern costumes, and the crew was recording the simultaneous sound, and they were shouting and making trouble. Cai Yinong said angrily, "Just now, one of our assistant directors reasoned with them, and he was injured!"
Zhang Ran frowned and said, "Did you call the police?"
Cai Yinong said indignantly: "They have a relationship, the police don't care at all! We called the police, and when the police came, they left, but the police walked around and left, and as soon as the police left, they came again immediately!"
