Cork eats a table of delicacies like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Mu Hongmian didn't move his chopsticks much, but silently peeled the shells of shrimp and crabs for Cork on the side, and picked out the most tender and delicious parts for Cork.

said that Huang Bai was waiting for her, but in the end, she was serving this guy.

Huang Bai touched his stomach comfortably and choked.

The food cooked in this private restaurant is naturally better than Huang Bai's own craftsmanship, and Huang Bai did not continue to add points after he was promoted to the level of an ordinary chef in order to save the popularity of the system. In addition, it will have to be tens of millions of system popularity, and Cork is now about to accumulate tens of billions of system popularity, so it is easy not to use it casually.

Some less important life skills, Huang Bai thinks that it is enough to use, and there is no need to pursue more advanced. At least not now.

This cooking skill is one thing, Cork really likes the ingredients here, basically they are all real materials, eat a full meal here, Cork can feel that his own blood and qi are slightly enhanced.

I'm afraid it's a penny-for-nothing.

"I didn't see you eat so well last time, why do you look like a starving ghost this time? How can you eat up such a big table? Don't hold you to death."

Mu Hongmian was indeed a little dumbfounded, she had really never seen such an edible one. However, she was unforgiving, but poured a cup of fragrant hot tea for Cork and handed it to Cork.

Huang Bai took the tea, drank it in one gulp, closed his eyes and felt the aroma of the tea, and then smiled at her and said, "I am a martial artist, and my absorption ability is stronger than that of ordinary people, mainly because your meals here are all expensive and have high nutritional value, which is of great benefit to those who practice martial arts. I also felt it last time after you ate it, and I went back."

"Is it really good for you? Then, you can come here to eat more after that, don't you have a black V card I gave you...... No, when you come to dinner in the future, just remember my name."

Mu Hongmian remembered that she gave Cork a distinguished black V card last time, but when she said that, if she asked Cork to come here for dinner again, she remembered her name.

"Well, we'll talk about that later." Huang Bai waved his hand and said, "Cotton Tree, tell me if you have gotten their information these days."

The information naturally refers to the black information of the people behind the scenes, the evidence of their crimes, and so on.

"How can it be so easy? Do you think they're doing bad things every day? In fact, it is not what you think, in fact, they are usually some legitimate businessmen, and they are all making money in normal work. Only when there are some actions, there will be some actions, and those actions are not necessarily a bad thing. Of course, there must be some non-compliance, but these are difficult to obtain."

Mu Hongmian shook her head, then took out a U card from her small bag, handed it to Huang Bai and said, "Here are some things that I have recorded over the years, you can take them and see what value they have." The main thing is what they discuss together, but they are very careful, and what they say is ambiguous and dark. It is probably useless to use it as evidence or anything, after all, I only listen to some of their untrue talks, but there is no evidence of their practice."

Huang Bai took it in his hand, threw it and put it in his pocket, and said, "You have to be careful in what you do, and if they do anything, let me know." In addition......"

Huang Bai thought about it, but still didn't tell her that Long Jing had sent someone to secretly investigate these masterminds behind the scenes.

I didn't tell her because I didn't want to make her nervous and show something wrong in front of those behind the scenes.

Now Mu Kamik is still in the same league as those behind the scenes, and those people will not have any suspicions about Mu Kamik.

Of course, Huang Bai knew that she was not an ordinary person, and she should have her own self-preservation power.

Huang Bai has already talked to Yang Ziying about the cotton cotton, and he has already made a name for himself in Longjing. However, Huang Bai naturally didn't want to say anything about herself and Mu Hongmian, but she just said that Mu Hongmian's grandfather and younger brother were also suspected of being killed by those behind the scenes, and she has always had a hidden desire for revenge.

Huang Bai talked about this to Yang Ziying, and Yang Ziying would definitely tell him

Her father, then Long Jing will also treat her separately from the other masterminds behind the scenes.

However, there will definitely be a secret investigation of her, and it is impossible for Long Jing to regard her as an undercover witness because Huang Bai talked about Mu Kapok. And what those behind the scenes did, Kapok was also involved.

Also, there are indeed many problems in Kapok entertainment. These will make Kapok very troublesome when the time comes.

Cork will not approve of the practices of Kapok Entertainment just because it has such a relationship with Kapok.

Understanding is understandable, but Cork really won't agree. As for how it will be with Kapok in the future, then we will talk about it then.

Huang Bai thought for a moment, and then said, "You must be careful yourself. There are a lot of things that don't fit the rules, and you don't want to get involved in them from now on. If you can, you'd better rectify Kapok Entertainment as soon as possible, and stop doing that kind of unspoken thing, if you continue like that, something will happen sooner or later."

"Do you think people want to do that? For such a large entertainment company, a certain business process has been formed. How do you ask me to rectify it? Our company's investment projects are all won in this way, especially in film and television, music. There are so many people in Cotton Tree Entertainment who have to work and eat, and there is no drama, so those artists eat the northwest wind?"

Mu Hongmian said to Huang Bai with a little resentment, and said with a somewhat angry look: "You think it's all you, one person can support so many people in a large company, and you can earn tens of millions of dollars with a random song, my company has so many musicians, and I haven't been able to create a few good songs recently, and this music market is all for you to preempt."

Hearing this, Huang Bai held her jade hand funny, pinched it, and said softly, "Now that you are also my woman, I can't watch you do anything. I mean, let you straighten out your entertainment company, no longer engage in those unspoken rules, and if you are rectified, you Kapok Entertainment can cooperate with my Mythical Entertainment. You compile a list of potential singers and actors in your company for me, and if I have any music suitable for them, I will give it to you to help them, and the same is true for actors, if there is any drama suitable for them, let them play it. You used to make film and television, and you should have brought investors to invest together, right? In the future, there is no need to attract those investors, just let our two companies cooperate to invest."

Huang Bai said, and asked a little puzzled: "By the way, Kapok, you Kapok Entertainment is not short of money, if there is a project, why do you have to attract those investors?"

Mu Hongmian looked at Huang Bai like an idiot, and Bai Bai glanced at Huang Bai and said, "Do you think those entertainment companies are like your current mythical entertainment? You can write so much music alone, every song, whoever sings it, who is popular. Do you think that investing in making movies is a sure-fire project? Also, Kapok Entertainment, although I am the chairman, there are several major shareholders. The company's money is not mine, and who doesn't open a company to make money? Who dares to say that investing in making movies will definitely make money? You think it's all you? It turned out that a Wang Fuxing made tens of billions of dollars, and now the Peace Hotel and the patrol story are box office hits? In fact, those who invest in making movies are basically losing money, and you don't know the current industry situation in the film industry, right?"

「……」

Huang Bai really knows that so many film companies in Longguo are basically losing money, and if they can break even and maintain themselves, such a film and television company is quite good.

At least in terms of investing in making movies, less than 10% of the thousands of movies released in a month can really make money, and among them, basically only the cost can be recovered. And the remaining 90% can't even recover the cost, it just depends on how much it is lost.

It's a very realistic and cruel thing.

Although the Dragon Country Film Market is large and there are many movie theaters, it has developed to the point that there will be movie theaters in rural areas. But so what? Originally, in this Internet era, under the impact of computers and smartphones, it is not only TV that is affected, but also movies.

Many people, in fact, don't go to the cinema to watch a movie.

Most of the people who went to see it were young people. And if it's not bad

There are a hundred and dozens of dollars, and there are young people at that time.

The more movie theaters there are, the more audiences there are.

Of course, it can also attract some audiences who are greedy for novelty and attract some audiences who pay attention to audio-visual perception.

In today's higher demand for entertainment, the audience who enters the cinema to watch movies is no longer the time when they used to watch as long as there are movies to watch. They have higher requirements and expectations for the quality of their films.

And in general, there are very few movies that can satisfy the audience.

A movie theater generally has several theaters, or even more than a dozen, and at the same time, several or more than a dozen different movies can be played.

At this time, it depends on the appeal of the movie.

Even if the audience doesn't chase stars, it's no longer Wuxia Amon.

They can all casually search for movie-related information on their mobile phones.

They can easily know from the Internet which company invested in the film, how much money it invested, and whether it is a big production. If it is only a movie that has been made in millions, then the audience may not have much expectation for such a movie. Because they really don't believe it, now when a well-known director is tens of millions or even tens of millions, and a star also needs tens of millions, tens of millions, how good a movie with a total cost of only a few million will be.

Therefore, when the audience chooses to watch a movie, they believe that it is people's instinct to exclude such a small-budget movie at the first time.

Then, whether it is a well-known director, whether there are any stars they like to participate in, etc., will also become a potential condition for the audience to choose.

Also, the advertising and promotion of movies, etc., the movies produced at a small cost will naturally not have any advertising, at least there will be no overwhelming advertising and promotion like those movies produced by large companies.

As a result, the vast majority of the films, they are destined from the beginning to be watched by very few people. They were doomed to fail from the start.

Of course, unless they can be like Wufuxing, under the condition of a very low film scheduling rate, they have won a good reputation from audiences who have watched the film with the content and quality of the movie, and then the movie attendance rate is full, and then the movie theater has to increase the film scheduling rate. And then the big bang.

In fact, there will indeed be some small-budget movies that have achieved great success, basically, there will be one or two movies that accidentally kill every month, and they can make a big hit.

Movies with a cost of millions have received hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of movie box office, and this situation also happens from time to time.

This is also the succession of those film companies, even if they know that the bankruptcy rate of film companies is higher, there are still many people who desperately want to fight. Invest millions of net worth in making movies, and want to make a profit of 100 or 100 times.

However, large groups and entertainment companies like Kapok Entertainment and Thang Long Entertainment can't do this.

They have to make so many movies every year, and as long as they invest, they generally won't be the kind of small-budget movies, and in order to ensure the box office, they must let those big directors and big stars shoot them. In this way, the cost of a movie must be at least tens of millions, which is also a very normal investment. If you make ten or twenty movies a year, it is equivalent to investing more than one billion here.

is only more than one billion, which doesn't seem like much, because those film companies are all big entertainment group companies with a market value of 10 billion or 100 billion.

But in fact, that's not how numbers are calculated.

The shareholders of the company, they are going to make money.

If they can't be sure that the company's investments will make money, then why should they invest and make movies, this is full of unknowns. If they don't have to pay for it, they can bring in investors to invest in the movie, they just wait for the movie to be made and released. If there's nothing risky, why don't they do it?

The company has so many people, they also want to make money, and the company has to make sure that they have jobs and salaries. Therefore, it is inevitable to let investors invest in making movies.

Inside, that's it

Naturally, there are some loops.

For example, it's okay to shoot this peace hotel like Huang Bai. It is Baihua International Hotel that needs to advertise, so it directly invests money, and is willing not to pay dividends from the movie, as long as the movie is popular, it will achieve the publicity effect of their Baihua International Hotel.

Such an investor is the best investor. However, in reality, there are not many such investors. Because, since it is an investment, they also want to make money, so generally they will also have a box office share of the movie.

The situation between Huang Bai and He Weixiang, that is, He Weixiang needs Huang Bai's advertising creativity more, and it is a movie that he begged Huang Bai to advertise his hotel.

This kind of situation is not the only one, but it really won't be too common in the film industry.

Then there are some investors who are optimistic about a certain movie project of those entertainment companies, so they are willing to invest, and the purpose of such investment is also to make money at the box office.

Well, then there are those big capitals, what about them, they are to launder ~ money. They don't care if the movie itself makes money or not, they just want to successfully launder their unknown part of the funds by investing in movies.

The kind of movies that claim to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, science fiction movies, etc., but the final movie effect is Wumao special effects, which are some divine dramas with pale plots, and are sprayed by the audience so much that grandma can't recognize them after they are released. These are basically for the purpose of laundering funds.

Finally, it is the operation mode of the main business of Kapok Entertainment.

That's the rich people, the capital, or the rich two or the like.

They fell in love with a certain actress and operated it through Cotton Tree Entertainment, in the name of investing in movies, so that they could get the purpose of that certain actress.

This also means that rich people can play, and they can get what they want without any trouble.

In other words, a woman with a star halo is indeed more valuable than an ordinary woman, and it will also give those capital tycoons a sense of accomplishment that they can't get from other ordinary women.

There is a sentence to say.

Cork feels that way, too.

Like Deng Meijun, the diva, the queen of heaven who is loved and sought after by everyone. At most, others can only look at the goddess from afar, can only worship, and can only imagine in dreams. And this goddess is her own woman, who rejoices under herself.

What does it feel like?

Huang Bai felt that it was indeed very cool, and that sense of accomplishment was indeed not something that ordinary women could give.

Therefore, those capital tycoons also understand and will have such pursuits.

Those capital tycoons who have earned money that they can't spend in ten lifetimes, they have the strongest wine and the most beautiful women who sleep the most, and it is indeed understandable to have such a pursuit.

Perhaps, they only have this little joy of life left.

Therefore, the business model of Kapok Entertainment naturally came into being.

Now, if Huang Bai wants to let Kapok Entertainment carry out rectification, I am afraid it will be really difficult.

Huang Bai thought for a while and said, "Then take your time, but you must not use some coercion and coercion methods, those that you are willing to do, are beneficial to your company, and will not violate some bottom lines, then don't care." But if you work with me Mythical Entertainment, you can't do that, because I will only use suitable actors to shoot. Besides, except for Cotton Tree Entertainment, like that clubhouse villa, you can withdraw immediately, and you can no longer hold shares there."

"No, if you enter, it doesn't mean that you can quit if you want to." Mu Hongmian shook his head with a bitter face: "It's like this private restaurant, it's not that I can quit if I want to. As soon as I retreated, they doubted me."

"This ......"

Huang Bai also immediately felt a headache.

This Mu Hongmian, I'm afraid that the entanglement with those masterminds behind the scenes is too deep, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for me to choose her out.
