Chapter 522: Flickering
Li Mo was able to answer, but he didn't answer, he said a question in a roundabout way.
When Wang Anshi changed the law, the total financial income of the Song Dynasty reached more than 180 million, which was converted into money, about 140 million, and the comprehensive purchasing power of all aspects of the money was equivalent to about 100 yuan now, and the population of the Song Dynasty at that time, including various hidden households, was about 100 million people, which may be insufficient, which was equivalent to a person who contributed 200 yuan of financial income to the Song Dynasty. For the current Chinese population, it is two trillion yuan (China's fiscal revenue in 90 years was 300 billion). If we talk about the Song Dynasty's harsh taxation and miscellaneous taxes, I only say agricultural taxes, the Song Dynasty's agricultural tax system is one out of ten taxes, and if it is implemented, the actual ten taxes can be three or four, which is not much heavier than the current agricultural tax in China. ”
Why was the Song Dynasty high in fiscal revenue?
Later, some people calculated that the average GDP of the Song Dynasty could account for more than 60% of the world.
The main thing is that the Song Dynasty continued the policy of Later Zhou Chai Rong and attached importance to commerce.
Businessmen are not terrible, even businessmen like Li Mo are still cautious.
The scary thing is that there are people in the background who are businessmen, but it is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that like the forbidden sea in the Ming Dynasty, the country is nonsense.
What kind of economic policy the Song Dynasty was, some experts in this area, can see it by removing some unnecessary political views, such as feudalism.
"Xiao Li, are you saying that in terms of economy, my country is not as good as the Song Dynasty now?"
"If it is now, only the economy, including per capita income, national fiscal revenue and GDP, will definitely not be as good as the Song Dynasty in all aspects. However, I firmly believe that this is a gradual process, and one day, China's system will gradually improve, and the economic situation will improve. ”
Secretary Tie left with a heavy face.
As long as Li Mo mentioned the specific economic data of the Song Dynasty, it would make all the bearded officials go away in shame.
The problem of land will not be agreed to for a while, the area is too large.
Li Mo dealt with the second matter.
He deliberately sent Tom and his wife to the magic capital a day earlier and sent someone to take them directly to their home.
Although Tom's parents are intellectuals, his father has a very bad temper, and then his parents divorced, so there is no need to talk about studies in such a family. He looked at the room full of books, a little afraid.
Li Mo asked them to sit down and personally made tea for the two of them.
Then ask Nicole, "What do you think of this movie?" ”
Nicole said uncertainly: "Is it the female version of "The Silence of the Lambs", or the erotic and erotic version of "The Silence of the Lambs......"
Comparing it to "The Silence of the Lambs", Li Mo wants to say, you really think too much.
Since its release, the film has received rave reviews, received multiple nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, and won the Best Actress in a Drama category, among many other awards.
What movie is Instinct?
Li Mo shook his head: "Nicole, I'll just say that Tom's "Top Gun" caused a sensation in the United States at that time. can be seriously analyzed, it is just a commercial blockbuster with the main theme and cannot withstand scrutiny, without any humanistic value. This movie is still the same, it is a commercial blockbuster with color and erotic skin in suspense, and it is also a suspenseful commercial blockbuster with color and erotic skin. Suspense, sex, and emotion are its selling points, and it can't do without them, and it has nothing to do with the humanistic value of "The Silence of the Lambs". ”
Li Mo said this wrongly.
Americans make American movies, and they can make movies that reflect on themselves, so why can't they make movies that praise the main theme of the United States? Do you have to bring down the United States to be a good American? It's an exaggeration, this is a commercial blockbuster, what's the harm in exaggerating?
But Tom Cruise dared to raise the bar with him?
"Lee, why do you have to make this movie?"
Li Moxin said: I don't shoot, you will shoot sex and erotic movies with your wife in the future.
"The most difficult thing for a person to recognize is himself, and I often reflect on myself and my own heart. For example, the earliest is "Jurassic Park", which is a science fiction, but it can also be seen as a fairy tale dressed in science fiction skin, when I was still young, so I had this trilogy. Then I came to the United States, saw different systems, and had some immature ideas, so I had the second "Snowpiercer". When I arrived in the United States, I saw the religion of your country again, and then I was inspired, and this is how The Da Vinci Code came about. Because I value IT...... network technology, so there is "The Matrix". ”
Mao's relationship!
But the reason why these books are written is also to give some explanations to the outside world.
"Then there were these film adaptations, but I had other inspirations in my mind, but I didn't have time to write them, so I simply wrote them into outlines, and then asked some authors to adapt them, and then cooperated with major Hollywood companies to bring them to the big screen one after another. Of course, since it is for filmmaking, some themes are not suitable for expression, which is also the reason why those manuscripts are uneven. ”
"Many people in California call me the best collaborator, and overall, I want to be kind to people. But in real life, I am kind to others, but others are not good to me, because some investments have led to some people holding strong hostility towards me, you should also know, this is why there is "Dances with Wolves". ”
"Later, some people became more and more hostile to me, and there was an agreement signed by the seven major Hollywood companies, so I collaborated with New Line on "Fatal Corner" and "Scream". The first is that I don't want to be controlled by others, the second is that I don't want to leave people with the impression of being pure and good to bully, and the third is that I want to open up more themes. "Instinct" is a product of this mental path. ”
A product of ghosts.
The real reason is that it sells well and makes money.
Secondly, each film is a high-grossing film, which can establish his status in Hollywood, make him the uncrowned king of Hollywood, and if this goal can be achieved, it can effectively protect his wealth.
It can cater to the audience that is interested in the aspect, generate more die-hard fans, and bring greater fame...... The fame is so big that there are many die-hard fans to a certain extent, which can boost the sales of the products of various companies under his name and protect his wealth.
However, instinct is a special case, Li Mo was thinking about what movies he had watched during this time period and which were blockbusters. Why does it have to be this time period, ten or eight years in advance, the audience's ideology and aesthetics are different, and the audience may not buy it when it is filmed.
Then Li Mo thought of instinct, he thought that if he shot his instinct, he could destroy Sharon Stone's star path, after all, it was more than 80,000 fresh lives.
But there is no need to say it, so every time someone asks, Li Mo will give a different answer.
"After the film was conceived, I looked for the heroine. Tom, you don't know, but Nicole does know that this heroine must have the beautiful appearance of the upside-down beings, so that the male protagonist's detective can fall under her pomegranate skirt when he knows that he suspects her of being the murderer. Among the various female stars in Hollywood, how many female stars can be prettier than Nicole? ”
"Thank you, thank you," Nicole said happily.
"Of course, I also know that Nicole will have to pay a lot of sacrifices to play this role. However, I didn't have the right to let Warner forcibly add a high salary to Nicole, so I made two concessions, one was to let her endorse Bis, and the other was to take her investment and enter Yimei and CLP. Nicole, I believe that at least CLP's investment has made you very satisfied, right? ”
Nicole laughed.
"But then again, if this movie is successful, it can also bring more and wider drama paths for Nicole, of course, provided that it succeeds."
Anyway, it's already stripped naked, so why bother being cowardly, it's better to be bold to the end.
"Li, why don't Yili models show up?" Tom asked.
It can't be said that the models of Angel Economy Company wear conservatively, not only the models, but also many of Yili's clothes have adopted hollowouts, lace, slits, open backs, low cuts, miniskirts and other designs, but no matter how they are exposed, they will not show their points when they walk the catwalk. I really couldn't get around, so I covered it with a chest sticker.
Angel Economy's approach is undoubtedly seen as a mudslide by the open and bold fashion world, but many middle-class parents love it. They're not Brooke Smalls' mothers who only get into the eyes of money......
Li Mo also explained: "The people who signed the contract with the angel economic company are divided into two parts, one part is the artist, the number is small, there are only a few, and the release is relatively wide. Some of them are models, they are mainly the spokesperson for Yili's various brand clothing, Yili clothing is positioned as successful, noble, healthy and beautiful, and smart, so the overall style will not leave a rebellious impression, or even far away from punk culture. In order to cooperate with Yili's positioning, Angel Economic Company has made many regulations, such as not allowing these models to absorb independence, and not to walk the catwalk or take photos and videos of the dew point on other occasions. This is for the Yili company and has nothing to do with the movie. ”
Tom is not stupid, he immediately asked, "Why did you let Brooke Ace endorse?" ”
Bess has twelve hairpins, and six of them are their own people.
Of the remaining six people, three are the top models, they are not models of angel companies, and they occasionally show up on the catwalk, but the models of angel companies are alternative and not easy to compare.
Three models can be ignored.
Then there are the three actors, Roberts is an artist under the name of an angel model, and there are no extra-large shots for the time being.
The other two were his wife, and the other was Brooke Rose.
This actor has a very bold style, not only when he grows up, but when he is very young. Not to mention the famous "Pretty Baby", let's talk about another movie "Youth Coral Island", she is not yet an adult, she is just developing, and she dares to shoot those scenes, especially a few scenes of frolicking in the sea, almost even the third point is revealed.
is such an actor, Li Mo actually asked her to endorse Bessi, and she was ranked first in the high.
Li Mo squinted and smiled.
"Tom, a lot of athletes endorse carbonated drinks, but do you think their coach gave them permission to drink them? In terms of Bess endorsement, the difference is that one uses image to endorse Bessy, and the other is to use fame to endorse Bessy. Since she is using her fame to speak for Bessy, why bother with what kind of movies Brooke has made? ”
"Then you will understand. When I was thinking about the heroine, I thought of Nicole, and I knew that she would be embarrassed, so I made some disguised subsidies. However, Warner was never satisfied with the filming process, so he brought me a sample shot. But I underestimated your feelings, you newlyweds, Nicole has not been able to let go. However, having been photographed on this one, it is impossible for Warner to replace the heroine. So I had to ask you to come and communicate with you. ”
"It's a movie, and you have to put your emotions into the characters when you shoot them. But the actor who plays the good guy is not necessarily a really good guy, and the actor who plays the bad guy is not necessarily a really bad guy. For example, if you're in Hollywood, I don't need to say more. Nicole, are you going to be tempted by the fact that your husband is filming an intimate scene with an actress? Tom, are you going to be tempted by the fact that your wife is filming an intimate scene with an actor? Not only you, but also me, if you marry an actor in the future, I won't be able to taste it. ”
That's weird!
"Your two movies, your girlfriend ......"
"Tom, let me make it clear that first of all, I have not established a romantic relationship with her, and secondly, with the grace of an Oriental, there is no need for too affectionate shots."
"It turns out that which media reports are fake......"
"Tom, you also belong to this circle, don't you know what the virtue of the media is? But here you are, I was about to say something. Tom, Nicole, would you like to join Angel Economics? ”
"Huh?" The couple was stunned together, this turn was too big.
"Joining Angel Economy will bring you some benefits. Because Angel Economic Company is directly linked to Yili, it does not expect to make much money from artists, and the percentage of commission is relatively low, but it is worried that it will cause rejection from other economic companies, and Angel Economic Company has not announced the percentage of commission. The second is that I can bring you some resources......"
Li Mo said, opened the drawer, took out two pieces of manuscript paper full of English letters, and handed them to Tom.
"It's a series of films, it's the first one."
Tom obviously hadn't watched the old TV series that had been released for more than six years, and after watching it, he said, "007? ”
"Similar to 007, but unlike 007, the actor who plays the leading role will always be just an actor as long as he is not too old to fight, unlike 007, which keeps changing the male lead, at least you can shoot six or seven films."
Tom was excited, although "Top Gun" and "Rain Man" made him popular, but in the past few years, in his acting career, it was the lowest time. It's not that he can't receive the film, he can't look down on small productions, and for big-budget movies, the producers and directors can't look down on his peach blossom eyes and little white face.
In the past two or three years, he spent almost half of his time at home.
Followed by 007, it's a big production.
"We have homo economicus."
"I can send someone to buy out your contract from your broker." Li Mo said lightly.
These two people are also very popular, but they are not popular to the point where they became popular later, if they don't dig and buy them with money, it's not too difficult, even if they spend a little money, the angel economic company can earn back dozens of times and 100 times in the future.
He took out a few more manuscript papers, which were the outlines of the four films "Vanilla Sky", "Minority Report", "Dangerous Spy War", and "World War", some of which were not too good at the box office, especially the Dangerous Spy War, but with the peripheral income, that movie also made a small profit. In addition, "The Last Samurai" is considered to be a movie in which Tom Cruise is more successful and Li Mo is more impressed, but this movie that reflects Japanese samurai, Li Mo will not take it out.
Tom looked at these outlines and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, TMD's are all big productions.
After a long time, he asked, "Lee, as long as I sign a contract with Angel Economic Company, I will star in these movies?" ”
"Of course, but you have one more thing to do for me."
"What's the matter?"
"Look, this instinct has reached this point, because Nicole can't let go, and everyone can't continue filming, so I invited you over because I hope you will take the initiative to do Nicole's work."
It is too much to ask the husband of the family to persuade his wife to make sex and erotic films, and also persuade his wife to let go during filming...... Li Moming knew that Westerners were more open, and Hollywood's noble circle was also chaotic, but when these words came out of his mouth, he himself felt awkward.
