Chapter Twenty-Seven: About the Film Company

The celebration banquet held by Princess Jin is more like a banquet, unlike the last time Wang and Li held a cocktail party, which is a lot less socializing, more about eating and drinking, occasionally going out to toast, or dealing with it when others come to toast. This kind of banquet is more like a dinner party within the company, and some well-connected guests and some media people are invited to come over, and it is very difficult for unrelated people who are not invited to get in, and in general, it is a little stingier than that of Wang and Li. In fact, Li Xuechu, who was a migrant worker before the crossing, is still more familiar with and more adapted to the current situation, and has also saved a lot of energy for socializing, but his company is still a start-up, except for a few people who came to the door because of the script, Jiahe and Xinyicheng have almost no connections, and they still need to expand their contacts at a cocktail party.

Li Xuechu also received some invitations to drinking parties during this time, although he didn't go to participate, but he should go sooner or later. After all, as a traveler in later generations, I know a lot of 'historical' political and economic events, and in order to convert these things into wealth, it is indispensable to make friends with some financial and financial talents, or learn financial operations such as currency futures, or directly find an agent or something, so as to convert this information into wealth. Playing finance is much faster and more money than playing movies, and if you don't play, there are so many 'inside information' that can make a lot of money, and if you put it out of date, it will bleed in your heart.

The celebration banquet lasted for nearly three hours and did not look like it was over, so Wang and Li said goodbye and left.

Out of the hotel gate, the reporters who were scattered around the hotel gathered again, making Li Xuechu smile bitterly, thinking that it is not easy for these tabloid reporters to listen, and they have to keep watch for several hours in a row for a little. But thinking about it this way, he still left in a hurry without saying a few words.

On the way back, Wang Fatzi was a little curious about the script that Li Xuechu and Hong Jinbao said: "Chu Zai, what movie do you and Hong Jinbao plan to make together?" ”

"Didn't you say that? Fashion action movies. Actually, I still like action movies, and I'm going to invest in one or two, but I've built a film company anyway, so I can't just shoot nothing. ”

Wang Fatzi pouted: "Then you have to be careful Chuzai, the current box office of action movies is not good, you have also seen the fate of Shaw Brothers, more than a dozen films are filmed a year, and there is basically no box office." ”

Li Xuechu smiled secretly, Shaw Brothers' action movies are not a concept at all according to the style of later generations, right? Today's old kung fu films like to slow down in motion when they hit a wonderful shot, as if they want the audience to see the kung fu moves and styles carefully, and the fast and sharp style of later generations are completely two painting styles. Speaking of which, the action dramas of Xiangjiang in later generations were really quite successful, so that after the decline of Xiangjiang movies, some action design directors in Xiangjiang, such as Yuan Heping's Yuan Jiaban, were also mixed up after running to Hollywood, and many Hollywood action movies in later generations stole the style of Xiangjiang action movies, and they are no longer as beautiful as before.

This time, the script that Li Xuechu wanted to write was a modern Xiangjiang kung fu film in the 90s: Black Man. This 96-year-old Xiangjiang movie can be regarded as one of the classics of Xiangjiang fashion action films, and two sequels were directed by director Xu Keda in the later period, but according to Xiao Li, the latter two are completely one and the same, not to mention compared with Hollywood action movies in the same period, even compared with Xiangjiang's previous movies, they are completely bad movies. After the new millennium, the great directors of the mainland and Xiangjiang took turns to make bad movies that they couldn't bear to read, which seems to confirm the decline of Xiangjiang films and the panic of the mainland being attacked by Hollywood. The mainland relied on bombing hype to trick the audience into the cinema and finally did not lose money, although it was sprayed very badly by netizens on the Internet, but the money was in hand anyway. Xiangjiang is sad that the fame and fortune of the land are empty, and the loss of money and people.

What Li Xuechu wants to do is the first part of the Black Man starring the later kung fu superstar Li Lianjie, as for the last two, either they have been rewritten, anyway, there are many classic action movies in later generations, and it is not difficult to learn from it to make a sequel, or simply not make it. Of course, that's for later.

But there is also a very important question is the director, who will direct this movie? Hong Jinbao didn't ask about directing, and probably thought that it was needless to say that it was himself, but Li Xuechu's ideal candidate was Xu Ke, although Hong Jinbao may not be able to do it. Although Xu Ke made a bad sequel, it is fair to say that the main reason why the film is not good is that the script is too bad and the investment cost is too low, the script is too bad, which makes the whole film full of complaints, and the investment is too low, and the sci-fi action movie that he wants to shoot is forced to make an Ultraman-style special effects. And Xu Ke still made a lot of classic action movies, which cannot be denied, although they are all at least a few years later, and none of them have been filmed now, but it can still be expected.

Counting this, now his Oriental DreamWorks has a total of three films ready to invest: the script was handed over to Wang Fatzi's fake god, comedy; the later generations of Xiangjiang fashion action movie Black Man; There is also a soul catcher, this is a literary film. The three types of films were launched together.

The ideal director of Black Man is Xu Ke, if the schedule hits someone who can't direct it, then Hung Jinbao, and the director of the soul catcher, Li Xuechu, plans to find Xu Anhua, the female director who directed the crazy robbery last year.

Xu Anhua is a very characteristic director of Xiangjiang, she is one of the few directors in Xiangjiang who has always insisted on making movies with literary and artistic themes, and has always been relatively successful in terms of literary and artistic themes, although the box office is usually not very high, but basically there is no loss, another literary and artistic master in Xiangjiang is Wang Jiawei, but this guy is a pit that has bankrupted and hospitalized investors, and it is not easy to provoke. And Xu Anhua is still more ethical from the perspective of an investor, and he has always paid attention to cost control, and has never done anything like Wang Jiawei who spent millions on half of the film, and suddenly changed the script and overturned it. The most important thing is that Li Xuechu feels that this script is more in line with Xu Anhua's style. This famous Xiangjiang female director in later generations always has an indescribable taste when making movies that take this kind of heartfelt route, but she also does not take the graceful route like other female directors, and her movies are full of atmosphere. Her later works Sister Tao impressed Li Xuechu deeply.

Since there was no shortage of money in his hands, Li Xuechu's desire to run a film company became eager, and he was no longer satisfied with opening a leather bag company. Li Xuechu planned to run the film company seriously, and he could be regarded as having his own business in Xiangjiang.

Although from an economic point of view, engaging in a financial company is more profitable than a film company, and playing finance is a more cost-effective and profitable route, but for a family like a person from later generations, this kind of wealth magic that seems to others to be the most complex and unpredictable is the least difficult for him.

After seeing that the previous history was no different from the original, Li Xuechu was not afraid of anything, anyway, his 'butterfly' at least for now, not to mention the situation and results of the game between several major powers, even the British government in Hong Kong is not something that he can influence now, it is really too early to say the 'butterfly effect', at least until he is close to Li Ren's net worth.

If the film company wants to be formal, you have to find a candidate who knows how to operate, first, you don't know much about management, and secondly, you don't have much interest, so it's better to leave it to a professional, and you can just take the shares and other cents yourself, and in the company, you only need to occasionally write scripts and manage film things. But I really don't know anyone in this area, how do I start? And it's been eighty-one years now, and it seems that the depreciation of the Xiangjiang currency began this year, so it's time to think about how to get a piece of the pie from here, and it's time to find someone who is more familiar with finance.

"Maybe two things are done together." Li Xuechu thought.
