Chapter 17: Everybody Knows I'm a Sycophant
Yang Tian's movie is popular, and his initial prediction was not wrong.
The novel shooting technique of pseudo-documentary has really made the eyes of people in this world shine.
And with the success of the movie, he also knows more truths about the Hong Kong Island film industry today.
At first, he thought that bad movies are rampant now, and they can still get a high box office because the aesthetics of people in this world are distorted.
However, after knowing the truth, I instantly felt that I was still superficial before.
A bad movie is a bad movie, even if it is put in this world, it is still a bad movie.
The reason why there is a high box office is not because the audience likes it, so they go to the cinema to pay.
When Jiang Tiansheng told him that in fact, at least fifteen of the top 20 movies on the annual box office list were released, and there was no audience in the cinema to watch them, he instantly realized.
This is completely blatant, using the box office of the movie to launder money.
People don't care if anyone buys a ticket, or sometimes, you can't buy a ticket even if you want to, because most of the performances are chartered by mysterious people.
This world is much more chaotic than Hong Kong Island in the previous life, and now it is in a very special time period.
In fact, the Hong Kong Island government has already begun to rot.
Even though there are many far-sighted people like Li Wenbin who want to turn the tide, in fact, the situation on Hong Kong Island is still developing in a very bad direction.
The most intuitive are the two gambling stalls that Yang Tian took over, and he was still a little worried at first, for fear that he would be swept away by the police one day.
But later I found out how powerful the 20% profit handed over to the club was.
Every time he is inspected, he can always receive the news in advance, and the other party even knows what time it is, and the police will come clearly.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but be a little moved.
No wonder Li Wenbin always looks bitter and hateful whenever and wherever he is. If he were to change his position, his face would probably stink even worse than his.
Of course, this is actually not a bad thing for Yang Tian.
At least he knows that the aesthetics of people in this world are not bad, so he can continue to implement the ideas he often shoots.
Especially because of the impact of various mysterious funds, bad money drives out good money, resulting in a very bleak film market, and he is urgently needed to carry more, good movies to save the market.
Of course, his film is not entirely without surprises.
The most unexpected part is his own performance in it.
Although he knows that he doesn't have much acting skills, there is a part of it that he is most proud of, and he thinks that he has completely exceeded his level.
But the audience didn't buy it, and even thought that he might be contrived.
On the contrary, it is the last part of the ghost body, the distorted appearance of the ghost animal, and the audience watches it with relish.
This also made him understand that the taste of the current Hong Kong Island audience is to pursue a pervert and excitement.
So "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun", "Ebola Virus", "Human Head Tofu Soup" and so on, were re-recalled by him.
The only thing that is lacking now is how to convince Da Fei to transform from an old boy to a professional actor.
And with the explosion of his movies, his status in Hongxing has also risen, and he is no longer a little transparent who has just been released from prison.
Today is with the big guy B, come to see their Hongxing leader in private... Jiang Tiansheng!
Of course, in addition to Yang Tian, the big guy B also took Chen Haonan, who was closer than his son and trained as his successor.
Yang Tian has an impression of this scene, it seems that it is because Hong Xing has an accident in the casino in Macau, so he needs someone to go over to solve the trouble.
It's just that what makes Yang Tian puzzled is that for this kind of face-revealing task, it is reasonable for the big guy B to bring Chen Haonan over, but it doesn't make sense to bring himself over.
After all, if Big Guy B wants to treat himself coldly, he shouldn't send himself in front of Jiang Tiansheng.
But after some small talk, he generally understood what was going on today.
Coming over by himself today, it is definitely not the meaning of the big guy B, but Jiang Tiansheng wants to see himself.
As for the purpose, it's very simple, it should be for the woman, who is swimming in the pool now.
Yang Tian has the impression that Jiang Tiansheng's current girlfriend Fang Ting seems to be also a movie actor.
is what he sees now, a very domineering woman in a swimsuit.
However, in addition to her good appearance, Fang Ting's development in the film industry is tepid.
Even with a behind-the-scenes financial father like Jiang Tiansheng, he was stunned that he couldn't make her popular.
Yang Tian estimated that Jiang Tiansheng was afraid that this time, he was afraid that he had fallen in love with his ability to make movies, and wanted to make himself popular, so he made an appointment with him.
You must know the fine-grained foundation, as long as you check it a little, you can check the bottom of it, and people like her who are not acting majors can be very popular now.
In Jiang Tiansheng's opinion, it should be even easier to make himself popular with Fang Ting.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the content of the chat to naturally reach Yang Tian.
I saw Jiang Tiansheng patting Yang Tian on the shoulder, looking like he was carrying his juniors.
"Your movie, Fang Ting and I have both been to the theater to watch it, it's really terrifying.
Now that you're a blockbuster in the film and television industry, I don't know what you're going to do next? ”
When Yang Tian heard this, he also showed a plan in time, after all, there were some things that he took the initiative to open his mouth and ordered by the leader, which were completely two effects.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Jiang, in fact, I have been preparing a new movie for a long time, but I have never been able to find a suitable hostess."
At this time, Yang Tian had to put a heavy movie like "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" on the air first, and improvised a plan that had been prepared for a long time.
Sure enough, Jiang Tiansheng immediately showed a very interested look.
"Oh? The heroine of your current movie, I feel good! How can you say that you can't find a suitable candidate? ”
"That's right, what about this new play, I plan to try to hit the Academy Awards, so the requirements for the actors' performances are a little higher, and it's okay to act in commercial films in fine grains, this kind of literary and artistic movie, she is really choked."
Including Yang Tian himself, everyone here actually doesn't know much about literary movies, so as soon as he said this, everyone didn't know how to take it for a while.
But he didn't panic at all, because the Academy Awards were all thrown out, and he didn't believe that Fang Ting didn't take the bait.
Sure enough, the awkward atmosphere didn't last long, and a soft and glutinous voice came from behind him.
"Then do you think I'm a good fit?"
I saw that Fang Ting also came up from the pool at this time, and under everyone's eyes, she deliberately turned in a circle, revealing her good figure to the fullest.
And Yang Tian showed an excited look, "If Miss Fang is willing to join my new movie, then this year's Academy Awards will definitely be in hand."
To be honest, I have seen Miss Fang's previous movies, and I can only say that those directors have not tapped your potential at all. ”
The so-called thousands of wears, sycophants do not wear. Everyone present, either the gangsters of the rivers and lakes, or the think tanks of the community, actually knew that Yang Tian was making sycophants.
But for the sake of the sister-in-law's happiness, everyone could only follow his words and praise together.
"It's difficult for a talent like you to appear in the club, so let's do it, I will invest 5 million in your new movie, accounting for 40 percent, how do you see it, no problem!"
Jiang Tiansheng saw that Yang Tian was so knowledgeable, and he was also generous, you must know that the movies of this era, although they claim to invest tens of millions of dollars at every turn.
But the reality is that five million for a well-made movie is more than enough.
Happiness came too suddenly, and for a while Yang Tian felt like he was about to be lost.
"Mr. Jiang, what you said, of course there is no problem on my side, and I will send the script to Miss Fang as soon as possible."
Seeing that his woman's affairs were dealt with, Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand to the servants on the side, and saw a group of Filipino maids leaving the pool in a majestic manner and accompanying Fang Ting back to the house to change clothes.
And Yang Tian knew in his heart that it was just foreplay before, and now the main dish has just come up.
Seeing that Chen Yao, who had been sitting on the side and not saying a word, glanced at Jiang Tiansheng, and began to talk about business.
