0285 【Bollywood】
Soon the Raff MP came over and said that the mayor of Mumbai had invited Shao Shuaijun to dinner. As the commercial center and entertainment center of India, the status of Mumbai City is very high, almost equivalent to the status of the magic capital of China, and the mayor of Mumbai has a high political status, and how to solve this hijacking incident depends on how he wants to solve it.
Or it all depends on how the group of politicians represented by the mayor of Mumbai wants to solve it, the mayor is a front, and the forces he represents are the masters of Mumbai. The mayor of Mumbai is a curly-haired man in his fifties, and he speaks curry-flavored Indian English, which Shao Shuaijun can't understand even if he speaks quickly.
Fortunately, the dinner was attended not only by the mayor, but also by several officials and members of the city government.
"Mr. Shao, we have seen the news in China, you are the new richest man in China. It's hard to imagine that Mr. Shao has become the richest man in China at such a young age, I didn't know that Mr. Shao had been in Mumbai for a while, and if he knew, he would definitely visit him in person. The Mayor of Mumbai said enthusiastically.
Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "For me, wealth is just a bunch of numbers, there are many companies under my umbrella, and I never think about how much money I have." I'm glad the mayor invited me to the dinner, but my crew is still suffering, this is Mumbai, a financial metropolis, a civilized city, I hope the mayor can properly rescue my crew, I am not very grateful. ”
The mayor of Mumbai nodded and said, "This is what I should do, and we will do our best to resolve it." But Mr. Shao also knows that we are not dealing with Pakistan, and there are often Pakistanis who sneak into India and engage in all kinds of illegal acts. This kidnapping. It is likely that Pakistan did it. ”
Shao Shuaijun was speechless, the Indian government has a very simple and effective way to solve all kinds of dirty things, that is, if something happens, and it can't be solved, it will push the matter onto Pakistan. The two countries are hostile, and it is simply too simple to pour dirty water on each other and divert focus.
"You know, Mr. Mayor. I came to Bollywood to make movies. There is a long-term plan, and my team is very optimistic about the development of Bollywood films. Originally, we were planning to set up a large entertainment company in Mumbai, and my company involved China and the United States, two big entertainment countries, and the profits and taxes were calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars every year. We offer countless jobs. One crew can solve the employment problem of hundreds of people. India is also an entertainment powerhouse, and we intend to focus on investment. ”
Shao Shuaijun shook the red wine in the glass, and there was red wine at various banquets. He also drank a lot, but he never got anything good about red wine. If it weren't for the sake of pretending to be on various occasions, he would never touch red wine, and even if he wanted to drink it, he would have to mix it with Sprite.
Before the mayor of Mumbai could speak, a councillor's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mr. Shao plans to open a company in Mumbai?" ”
"Yes, we have plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the filming and post-production of Indian films. Bollywood is thriving, and as a businessman, it's in your nature to seek profit, isn't it? ”
"Yes, yes, our Bollywood film output is increasing every year, this is definitely a green and pollution-free high-return investment project, and we welcome Mr. Shao to invest in Mumbai. If you don't mind, we can talk while eating, and we will definitely give Mr. Shao the most preferential investment convenience. This one...... How is Mr. Shao going to invest? ”
Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "I may cooperate with a big Bollywood film company, while participating in Indian film production, and at the same time operating Indian films to the world." As you know, my entertainment company, a Dream Harvest is the largest entertainment company in China, and Summit Entertainment has become the largest independent production company in North America. My entertainment company is not only involved in the entertainment industry, but also supports the sunrise industry of the Internet. Summit Entertainment has mastered the largest scarf twitter and smartphone software development in the United States, and its current capital is 17.8 billion US dollars, once it goes public, wow, how many times will it be doubled, who knows what......"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Shao is a world-class billionaire, and I think we can talk more deeply about cooperation." The mayor of Mumbai said with a smile.
Shao Shuaijun blinked: "However, my crew now has security problems, although we are profit-seeking, we are more concerned about safety." As a public company, pleasing shareholders is the number one priority, and no one has confidence in a company where the safety of its employees is not guaranteed, what do you say? ”
A lawmaker laughed and said, "Mr. Shao is assured that Mumbai is the financial center of Asia, our development is obvious to all, and the future of Mumbai is full of expectations under the guidance of democracy and freedom." We, the Municipality of Mumbai, have an obligation and responsibility to ensure the safety of our investors, and we will do everything in our power to do so. ”
……
When Li Xiuxiu flew to Mumbai in the middle of the night, Shao Shuaijun had already negotiated with the Mumbai city government, and the entertainment industry was a pillar industry in Mumbai, and it was a huge political achievement for this group of officials to be able to negotiate a huge investment. It's not just officials in China who need political performance, it's similar around the world, especially in Mumbai, India.
"Wife, don't you see that I'm good, I'm in the city, either go to the hotel, consulate, or go to the police station and the city government, where will there be trouble." Li Xiuxiu was able to come, and Shao Shuaijun was amused and moved.
Li Xiuxiu glanced at her: "What do you want me to say, a gentleman doesn't stand under the wall, India is so chaotic, you had to come here to make a movie, and I put up with it." Now that there is such a great danger, you are still coming! The underworld, there are guns, do you know it, you can do anything. ”
"I don't go to negotiate with the underworld, no matter how cruel they are, can they call me?" Shao Shuaijun hugged Li Xiuxiu and said with a hippie smile.
"Don't you know that there are often terrorist activities here in Mumbai, and there are bombings everywhere, how terrible."
"I'm afraid you're here too."
"I'm worried about you!"
Shao Shuaijun kissed Li Xiuxiu on the forehead: "Don't worry, I'm a rich man now, I have a bunch of bodyguards around me, I just finished eating with the mayor of Mumbai, if something happens in Mumbai, he, the mayor, should commit suicide and apologize." ”
After comforting Li Xiuxiu, he went to the hotel, and Mumbai has developed well in recent years. There are several five-star hotels, and this is one of them. After having another dinner with Li Xiuxiu, we got down to business.
"What to say about this time, it should be resolved, I have already talked to the Mumbai city government. I will invest in a film company in Mumbai and build another building as the headquarters of Dream Entertainment Group in India, and enter the Indian film market in full swing in the future. In return, the Bombay city government will reconcile with the traffickers and let them leave unharmed. Unleash the crew in its entirety. ”
"That's it? Isn't it difficult? Li Xiuxiu wiped her mouth and said.
"It's not that hard. As long as you have money, the rules of the world revolve around you. But you don't see the ugliness of the Mumbai city government, and it doesn't matter to them whether the criminals have escaped or not, as long as they have their political achievements. I swore before. Be responsible for the people of Mumbai. Criminals will never be let go. Now, it is not ambiguous to say that the criminals will be released. Is...... It's interesting. ”
"So it's good to say social~ism."
"Haha, yes." Shao Shuaijun also laughed, "Speaking of which, I think of it, and the people of the Mumbai City Government are very proud to say that Mumbai is the financial center of Asia and the best city in Asia. I don't know where their confidence comes from, but Mumbai has more than half of its population living in slums, and except for a few places, it's all dirty and messy, and it's embarrassing to call itself Asia's financial center. This time the matter is settled, I should really invite them to visit the magic capital and see what the real financial center is. ”
"It's worth a try."
……
With the money offensive, the kidnapping was resolved satisfactorily, the Mumbai police lifted the siege of the traffickers, and by the afternoon of the next day, the criminals had disappeared cleanly and the crew was free. There were no more serious injuries other than a few people who were bruised at the point of touching.
Of course, in the process of kidnapping, a lot of precious equipment was broken, but compared to the safety of people, this is a.
"Danny, what are your plans now, although the crew has been rescued, everyone's emotions are a little problematic, do you continue to shoot?" Shao Shuaijun found Danny. Boyle, "Slumdog Millionaire", as the name suggests, naturally has to have a large number of scenes in the slums, and as long as it is still filmed in the slums, the danger cannot be ruled out.
Danny smiled wryly and said, "There has been a lot of progress in filming, we can't give up just because of a little difficulty, I think I'll stick with it." If the rest of the crew doesn't want to stay and work here, let them go, and if they don't have enough manpower, they will be replenished from Bollywood. I'm going to stick to the finish of the film. ”
"Since you insist, I won't say much, if you are willing to stay and work, I will pay them double salary, and I have decided to invest in a film company in India, I will send a team to negotiate with Bollywood film company and give you the greatest support. And, happily, I still have the title of producer, but the power is in your hands, you are in charge of this film, and my girlfriend will not allow me to stay in India any longer. ”
Shao Shuaijun spread his hands, although the crisis survived safely, although the company wanted to take root in India, Li Xiuxiu still did not promise Shao Shuaijun to stay in India and continue to be a producer. For her, India is a dangerous country, and if Shao Shuaijun stays here for a while, she will not be able to calm down for a moment.
"Shao, I want to thank you for trusting me so much, the crew had an accident, and it took a huge price to settle it, and they agreed to let me continue filming."
Shao Shuaijun patted Danny on the shoulder: "It's nothing, making the movie good is the biggest thanks." ”
In Danny. In Boyle's opinion, in order to save the crew, Shao Shuaijun had to invest in Bollywood, and he sacrificed a lot. But in fact, Shao Shuaijun is just pushing the boat, he originally had plans to invest in India, many Indian films have gone international, and the prospect of investing here is very good. And he also knows several blockbuster Indian movies, like "Bollywood Robot Love", "My Name is Khan", etc., which are worth investing in.
India has a population of more than one billion people and will soon surpass China to become the most populous country in the world, and with the development of the economy, the film market will definitely become more and more active, and more and more people will go to the cinema. India is the country with the largest gap between rich and poor in the world, but society always has to progress, and more and more poor people in India will become rich, and they are all potential customers.
comforted the crew and actors, Shao Shuaijun had to rush back to the hotel and pack up his things to return to China under Li Xiuxiu's repeated urging. The investment company here will arrange a special manager to take over.
Before leaving, Shao Shuaijun invited the mayor of Mumbai to visit the magic capital in a bad way, hoping that he could understand what kind of existence a real Asian financial center is.
A crisis was over.
After leaving India, Shao Shuaijun lived a reclusive life and disappeared from public view. Even if you go to the "IMAX-3D Yupu Troupe", the crew can't guard the appearance of Shao Shuaijun. The Hurun Report has made Shao Shuaijun gain countless envy, jealousy and hatred, and countless entertainment reporters and financial reporters are looking forward to interviewing him.
Therefore, Shao Shuaijun wisely hid and hid in Europe.
He came to Europe for a simple purpose: to learn how to fly an airplane. He has already customized an A380 passenger plane at Airbus, and Dream Entertainment Group has also customized an A380.
Someone accompanied him to learn to fly an airplane.
Learning to fly a mainframe is just for fun, what he really wants to learn is to fly small planes and helicopters.
For him, driving a luxury car and driving a sports car is all played by the rich second generation, as the rich generation, as the richest man in China, as a tasteful person, only airplanes and yachts can represent his identity.
Accompanying Shao Shuaijun was a team of assistants led by Zhang Huahua and a team of bodyguards led by several trusted personal bodyguards. It is these bodyguards who really want to learn to fly a plane, let Shao Shuaijun fly a plane once in a while, he will be happy, every time he comes to fly a plane, this is not enjoyment but torture.
The big guy should be flying, enjoying the food, enjoying the bath, and enjoying the surroundings of beautiful women, not tossing around in a cramped cockpit.
"This button is to control the cabin to open and close the door, and this button provides emergency call ......" on the indoor simulator, the flight instructor meticulously directed.
"OK, I know everything, I'm familiar with airplanes, now I'm going to drive." Shao Shuaijun rubbed his palms excitedly, put on a simulated helmet, and then began to fly the simulator.
Less than half a minute later, the plane crashed headlong into the mountains on the big screen and crashed.
"Wow, is this joystick out of order? No matter how much I lifted, I couldn't climb. Shao Shuaijun blinked and asked with a blushing face.
"Actually, there's a button here, it's a switch that controls vertical climbing, you have to turn it on to climb, and we've already said that you've already failed once because of this in the previous flight simulator."
"Really?" Shao Shuaijun was stunned for three seconds, and then took off his helmet, "Actually, I'm really familiar with airplanes, and I often ...... By plane, really...... Let's take a break, I feel like I'm getting a little dizzy. ”
The instructor smiled and said, "Okay...... Mr. Shao, I have seen your filming of "Inception", "Source Code", "Painted Skin" and the current "500 Days with Shamo", my daughter likes you very much, can you ask for an autograph for her? ”
"Of course."
It's not okay to fly a plane, but it's still okay to sign a name. (To be continued......)
