Time into January 2010, the Chinese film market entered the hottest box office period of the year - the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival stalls connected together, domestic blockbusters are eyeing each other, all want to get a piece of the pie, but the Hollywood super blockbuster "Avatar" swept the world, making a number of domestic films prohibitive and postponed.

Facts have proved that "Avatar" is indeed very popular, and the Chinese box office finally reached about 200 million US dollars, setting a new domestic box office record.

"Kong Zai" has a strong lineup of Fa Ge Zhou Gongzi Ren Ying Lu Yi, but the box office is very unsatisfactory, and the movie is not as unbearable as netizens commented, it can only be regarded as a mediocre work. Li Xiuping has studied, he thinks that the reason why this movie hit the street is because it is made of Confucius Sage, as long as you have studied and gone to school in China, you basically know Confucius Sage, not to mention the influence of his old man on Chinese civilization, a two-hour movie about Confucius, what a good script should be needed to depict Confucius in the hearts of the people, obviously the crew of "Confucius" does not have this ability.

After "Kong Zai", domestic blockbusters officially made efforts, "Jin Yiwei", "Su Qier", "Flowers and Happy Events", "Seven Hours and Two Tenants", "All in Love", "Big and Small" and a series of movies have been released, these movies have not many highlights, so they have not exploded.

Li Xiuping has no interest in these movies, but there are two animations that he pays special attention to, namely "Joyful Sheep and Big Big Wolf: Tiger and Tiger" and "Rainbow Anchor Blue Rabbit Fire Phoenix", Pleasant Goat has launched its second big movie since last year's bullish skyrocket, this time the box office exceeded 100 million, which is a shot in the arm for Chinese animated films. The rainbow cat and blue rabbit sounded the alarm for the Chinese animation producers, without innovation and old-fashioned stories, then no matter how popular it was, it would be abandoned by the market.

Li Xiuping also wrote a script for an animated movie, according to his estimates, the cost of this animated film is very low, and it may not make a lot of money, but it should be no problem to return to the original. Li Xiuping remembered that in the next few years, there would be a blowout outbreak of Huaxia animation, and he thought that if he had funds, he could set up an animation studio, maybe he could make a little money, and it would be no problem to make a few million a year.

"I don't take millions seriously anymore? Before Li Xiuping crossed, he only had his wife and daughter in his eyes, and his daughter's food and clothing were what he was most concerned about.

So when Li Xiuping showed the bank balance of 1.1 million to Li Yansheng, Li Fusheng and a group of relatives, the relatives were stunned, but Li Xiuping was very calm.

"Xiuping, how did you earn it?"

"Xiuping, do you still want to invest? It's easy to make movies now, and your aunt and I went to see Avatar, and the movie theaters in our county are full, let alone big cities. ”

"Xiuping, your cousin is very standard, can she make movies, I don't expect her to be a star, as long as she can often act on TV. ”

"Xiuping, if you want to make a movie, the crew must use their own people, your brother will help you. ”

Uncles and aunts were talking about some good things, Li Xiuping smiled lightly, "I'm not going to make a movie, where is a million enough to make a movie, unless you invest in me." ”

"How much is there missing when making a movie?" asked Li Yansheng.

"Let's not talk about blockbusters, our whole family can't make up the sales of them. Make a low-budget movie, about five million, and there is a shortage of four million, uncle, aunt, are you interested in investing? You invest four million, and I will give you seventy percent of the shares. ”

Li Fusheng shook his head, "I might as well engage in industry for four million, what should I do if I lose money if I do this with you?"

Li Xiuping's aunt continued: "That's it, one or two hundred thousand is okay, but a few million, how can you live after losing money?"

Li Xiuping smiled and didn't speak.

Li Yansheng thought for a while, "Don't you want to be a director? Don't make movies, shoot TV series? Dozens of TV series will cost millions." ”

Li Xiuping shook his head, "It's not a TV series, it's an online drama, and the requirements for online dramas are low, one million is barely enough." ”

"What is a web series?"

In 10 years, online dramas have not yet emerged, and the only few are lively, but not to mention extending the popularity to computers and mobile phones, many computer users don't know about this drama.

"It's a TV series that can only be played on computers and mobile phones, not on TV. ”

"Can you make money if you don't go on TV, can you charge for it? Who watches and pays to watch TV now, there are dozens of channels, what TV series are not, why do people watch you, Xiuping, you can't do this project." Li Fusheng said affirmatively.

"Yes, Xiuping, can you still find a big company to raise money and shoot a TV series on TV, I haven't heard of online dramas. ”

"Xiuping, more than one million can buy a big house in our county, do you want to buy a new house, you are also in your twenties, how about I introduce a good girl to you?"

"Xiuping, do you have a girlfriend, if you don't have a girlfriend, you're going on a blind date, you're in your twenties, our gift money here is getting more expensive every year, you should get married as soon as possible. ”

The building is crooked, from the crooked cost of film shooting to Li Xiuping's lifelong event, Li Yansheng, Huang Yanping and Ding Xichun are also very interested in this, and the group chatted for a long time, and only returned to the original topic after about an hour, Li Fusheng smiled: "Xiuping, I have a good project, are you interested, you invest one million, and after a year, you are guaranteed to earn five million, five times the profit, and then you will have five or six million, and you will be able to make a TV series." ”

Li Xiuping was speechless, "Uncle, you didn't say that that time, but my parents and aunts have followed you so many times, when did they get five times the profit?"

Li Fusheng nodded at Li Xiuping emptily, "You, don't regret missing it, uncle saw that your own family only told you, what kind of online drama did you film, and who did you sell it to? ”

Li Yansheng continued: "That's right, you have to think about it carefully. ”

Li Xiuping smiled confidently, "Dad, I don't dare to say now that the online drama I shoot will definitely make a lot of money, but it's absolutely no problem to support myself, and it's no problem to feed our family." ”

Li Yansheng clicked, "Okay, according to the rules of our family, as long as you can make money and don't break the law, you can do whatever you want, but this year, it's not too much for you to save 200,000 yuan in your bank card." ”

"No problem. ”

"It's 200,000 in addition to the million. ”

"I know. Li Xiuping thought for a while and said: "Dad, my online drama is filmed, I will send you a copy to see, it is definitely better than "Yiyi Unforgettable". ”

"There have been many sequels to "Unforgettable", and they have sold very well, and I am very happy that you have one-tenth of your family. You can really succeed in filming an online drama, and I will show it to the whole village when the ancestor worship ceremony. Li Yansheng said with a smile.

Li Yansheng was in a good mood, although Li Xiuping didn't listen to him to follow him to do business, but for a young man who had just graduated, it was very remarkable to get one million in half a year.

"There will be a day. ”

After getting his family, Li Xiuping's next days were much easier, he continued to write the script of "In Case I Didn't Expect" every night, and during the day he went to relatives to see friends. He attended a high school reunion, at this time his classmates were still very young, in the state of a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, his classmates knew that he was going to be a director, congratulated him on his great success, and said that they would invest in his film in the future. Although he knew that this group of classmates would not be able to make any progress in a few years and would not be able to invest in his movies at all, Li Xiuping was still very happy, perhaps this is the reason why he has to go home every year.

Li Xiuping also knew the reason why the bank had not given him a loan for youth entrepreneurship at home, and it turned out that the loan still needed a certificate issued by the village committee, but the village committee did not approve it because there were villains.

Li Xiuping and their village are all surnamed Li, three hundred years ago they were all a family, everyone was poor before, and they were still very harmonious with each other, after Grandpa Deng's basic national policy came out, everyone's living standards were different, Li Xiuping and their family can be said to be rich and rich, when Li Yansheng's business was at its peak, the county magistrate invited him to dinner, but later his business was deceived, and Li Xiuping's family was naturally not as generous as before. At this time, several other families in the village rose up, set up factories and companies, and it is said that several people now have assets of more than 10 million, and they have become the new rich people in the village.

If you have money, you will want to be famous, and the new rich people will build roads and ancestral shrines, and strive to be the first person surnamed Li in the village. This ancestral shrine has been repaired, and the golden body statue of the ancestor is also being customized, and there will be disputes about who carries the golden body statue immediately.

Carrying the statue of the ancestors, that is an honor, a symbol of status, and the ancestors will bless it, so several new rich people are fighting, although Li Yansheng, a declining rich man, did not fight, but some people mentioned him, at this time, Li Xiuping applied for a bank loan, and the new rich people thought that Li Yansheng was very awesome when he was young, and Li Xiuping would not also start a business, right? secretly let the village not pass Li Xiuping's loan application certificate, which can be regarded as blocking Li Xiuping once, as for whether Li Xiuping will develop in the future, they can't care, anyway, this time they won't give him a good look.

Li Yansheng told the reason, and finally said: "Don't blame them, people are like this, there is nothing to complain about." You have the ability, they hold you, you don't have the ability, and your relatives look down on you. So if you want to be a director, you have to be a director, but you must mix it up, otherwise don't talk about those people in the big city, the people in the village will look down on you. ”

Li Xiuping nodded, "I know, Dad, when will the ancestral golden body return to the ancestral shrine?"

"On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month of the year after the Great Queen, it is the birthday of the ancestors?"

"Why wait so long?"

"The year after tomorrow, that is, 2013, is the 500th anniversary of the birth of our ancestors, and when the time comes, not only our village, but also all the people surnamed Li in our city will come over, and tens of thousands of people will pay homage to his old man. ”

"Wow, Huo Degong's old man doesn't have such a big formation, right?"

"You know a fart, Huo Degong's birthday is much more atmospheric than this, you are going to be famous, go and see it in the future, get to know the successful people with our surname, it will definitely be used for a lifetime." ”

"I know, Dad, just wait, your son will succeed. ”
