For the first time, Han Zhou felt that it was so difficult to get a license.
More importantly, as a sole proprietor, Han Zhou needs a registered capital of 100,000 yuan to establish a company, and it must be pledged.
That's what hurts the most.
Now, the investment for this first work of my own has been reduced by another 100,000 yuan.
In five days, with the help of a law firm consultant, Han Zhou finally finished all the things to start a company.
Moreover, Han Zhou also obtained template contracts signed by entertainment companies and various employees in the hands of this consultant.
This is something that may not be available in other law firms.
But in Hengdian, every law firm has one.
After running the company, Han Zhou came to the film and television city again.
"Are there any roles today?"
"Yes!" The middle-aged actor who was asked by Han Zhou laughed: "Would you like to play the role of a Japanese devil?"
Japs? Han Zhou shook his head: "Forget it, I don't know Sakura."
This extravaganza that Han Zhou has known for a few days said happily: "Isn't this easy to learn? I'll teach you."
"Si Guoyi, Ya Zhudie, Yosi, Suga, Baga, Mixi Mixidi..."
Han Zhou: "..."
Since coming to Hengdian, Han Zhou feels that his mental state has been much better.
Most of the extras here have a paranoid mindset, thinking that they can seize the opportunity and become first-line movie stars in the future, or even movie kings and movie queens.
Once people's thinking becomes tough, their behavior becomes weird.
Therefore, Han Zhou felt a lot more normal.
Just as he was talking, Han Zhou's phone rang.
Han Zhou glanced at the phone and answered it: "Hello?"
"Is it...Director Han Zhou Han?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, the voice was unfamiliar: "I am Han Zhou, you are..."
"Hello, Director Han, my name is Chen Xiaoyong, and I am Chen Dayong's younger brother."
Han Zhou thought for a moment: "Dayong's younger brother? Who are you looking for?"
"Director Han, my brother recommended me to study with you." Chen Xiaoyong thought for a while and added: "I graduated from Beijing Film Academy with a bachelor's degree in photography and a master's degree in literature from Yangzhou Opera."
"looking for a job."
Han Zhou was not very clear about what the literature major of Yangzhou Opera was for, but he understood after hearing Chen Xiaoyong talk about finding a job.
In the past two days, Han Zhou told Chen Dayong about starting a company and wanted to poach Chen Dayong.
But Chen Dayong now has a contract, so the recruitment failed.
Chen Xiaoyong?
"Where are you?"
"Hengcheng, Times Mall."
Han Zhou: "Then take a taxi to Shangyuan Street."
"Director Han, it seems like you can't get a taxi here. There's a taxi strike here today."
In China, there are no strikes in any industry except the taxi industry.
Because essentially they are all individuals, not workers, but because of the rental company, they have a strong connection with each other.
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Why the strike?"
"It seems that a taxi-hailing software called Zber is popular, and taxi drivers are demanding a crackdown on illegal taxis or something."
Han Zhou said happily: "Fortunately, I bought a car yesterday. Just wait and I will pick you up."
It turns out that in this world, has the network developed to this point?
Han Zhou stopped going to the set, and instead walked to the parking lot while checking Zber's news.
“It’s so similar to Uber.”
Many people think that Uber is the first taxi-hailing software, but it is not.
The earliest taxi-hailing software in the previous life was born in China. Because it was too early and 4G was not yet popular, it fell off the market.
In 2012, Kuaidi and Didi were founded successively, and the founder was a retired middle-level executive from Alibaba. He and another person founded Kuaidi and Didi at about the same time respectively.
This man approached Ali for investment, but Ali dismissed him.
Later, Uber was established in the United States. It took five years to become the most successful emerging Internet company at that time.
Then he entered the Magic City. After a short trial run, he began to raise large-scale financing. Based on the Magic City, he penetrated into the surrounding economically developed areas and at the same time started spending money in big cities in China one by one.
In 2015, Alibaba did not choose to invest in Didi, which was founded by its own resigned employees, but instead invested in Kuaidi.
Immediately, Antarctic Goose invested in Didi to compete with Kuaidi.
Soon, Kuaidi, which was backed by Alibaba, was overthrown by Didi.
At this time, Didi was watching Uber's movements.
Uber has spent countless dollars cultivating consumers’ habit of taking taxis online.
At this time, Didi came out and spent money like crazy, beating up Uber and losing ground.
In other words, although this world is already at the end of 2022, the development of science and technology is actually the same as the end of 15 years in the previous life.
But Han Zhou doesn't care about zber at all, because there are also two giants in this world, the fox and the penguin.
Zber will also be a dead end in the future.
Han Zhou quickly realized that there is a strong correlation between social economic development and technological development.
In other words, China’s box office market will usher in its heyday!
"I didn't expect to catch up with this..."
Getting into the second-hand van he bought, Han Zhou drove through the small Hengdian.
This is actually a town with a population of only a few hundred thousand.
However, because of the film and television city, the surrounding development looks like a medium-sized city.
Soon, the broken van arrived at Times Mall.
Han Zhou dialed the phone: "Hello, I'm here."
"License plate number? My van is the only one nearby. Have you seen the van? Just come over."
Soon, the passenger door was opened.
Outside the door, there was a young man with long hair that almost reached his shoulders.
It's not quite right to call him a young man, he should be in his mid-twenties.
"Brother Han?"
Han Zhou waved his hand: "Don't be like this, I should be younger than you."
Chen Xiaoyong got the answer and immediately got on the bus: "Brother Han, in the circle, whoever is awesome is the elder brother, whoever comes first is the elder brother. Many thirty-year-old newcomers have to call teenage child stars elder brother!"
This is like learning the Tao, having a certain skill, and specializing in it. Those who have mastered it come first?
The car started and Han Zhou drove: "Where's your bag?"
"I didn't bring anything with me. I decided to come here at the last minute." Chen Xiaoyong was a little excited: "Brother Han, I watched your movie. In one word, it's awesome!"
Han Zhou smiled: "Awesome is two words."
"Where did you see my movie?"
Chen Xiaoyong: "Brother Han, didn't you know that your film was selected for the Yanjing Film Festival? There was also an internal premiere ceremony for media people."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, I don't pay attention."
Chen Xiaoyong clapped his hands and said: "Starting and ending at the Yanjing Film Festival, these are all small scenes. I have sent them to the Magic City Film Festival, the Furry Bear Film Festival, the Golden Bear Film Festival, the Spanish Film Festival, and the Big Apple City Film Festival!
"
It is now the second half of the year, and the new year is about to begin. The beginning of the new year is the arrival of awards season for all walks of life around the world.
But sending it to so many film festivals?
Han Zhou doesn’t have time to attend so many film festivals: “Just give it away.”
Han Zhou could imagine that at film festivals in Europe and the United States, when they saw the local films sent from China, they would burst into laughter and run to see them, thinking that the films were from China.
After watching the results, everyone was numb.
Finally, some more fair film festivals will allow "Mr. Hello Tree" to be shortlisted for awards.
That's the result.
At the national level, China is not Mr. Tree, but European and American countries are indeed Mr. Pigs.
A discerning person would not give it a prize.
While the car was driving, Chen Xiaoyong was still talking about how awesome and awesome the shots in "Mr. Tree" were.
Han Zhou also smiled and said, "Why don't you hang out with your brother?"
Chen Dayong, as a photographer, can arrange at least a dozen people in the team.
Arrange for your younger brother to follow you around easily.
Chen Xiaoyong shook his head: "In the past three years, I have spent some time filming with my brother every year."
"My brother said that I have enough spiritual energy, but I have no rules and I don't understand them."
"He said that if you hang out with Brother Han, you can learn how to do it."
What did Chen Dayong say about his younger brother? Han Zhou wanted to call and ask, but not while driving.
Chen Dayong spoke and took out his mobile phone: "I have been in school for seven years and have shot several short films. Brother Han, please take a look!"
Han Zhou: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get to the company."
Soon, they arrived at Shangyuan Street. Han Zhou opened the door of the office. Chen Xiaoyong followed and before speaking, Han Zhou took out a cigarette and lit it: "Wait a minute, I will call your brother."
Han Zhou walked aside and called Chen Dayong.
After a while, I finished the phone call and checked Chen Xiaoyong's name again.
If you don’t check, you won’t know if you check it, you will be shocked.
Chen Xiaoyong, a true genius.
Beiying's man of the hour for four consecutive years.
Ever since he entered the school, his reputation as the strongest student in the photography department has never been forgotten.
As a freshman, I collaborated with a junior student to shoot a short film "Wedding". This short film won the Best Short Film Award at the College Student Film Festival six years ago.
That junior is now twenty-nine, and he is none other than Tang Yihong, the Young Best Actor of last year's Golden Flower Award.
When Chen Xiaoyong was in the first year of graduate school, he participated in the filming of a documentary for the 70th Anniversary of the Yangzhou Opera School and served as the assistant photographer. The main photographer was the most powerful photographer in the country, Mr. Da Luo, who has now retired.
There is news that Teacher Da Luo was just using his name at that time, and the person who took the photo was actually Chen Xiaoyong.
Only then did Han Zhou realize that Yangzhou Opera and Beijing Film Academy were different. Beijing Film Academy was a school for cultivating stars, so screenwriting was called the screenwriting department.
Yang Opera is a place to cultivate artists, so literary creation actually covers script creation, drama creation, etc.
Therefore, Luo Xiaoyong studied photography in college and screenwriting as a graduate student.
This can be said to be the top talent among the batch of students graduating this year.
With his resume, if he goes to an upper-middle-level film and television company, he will definitely be able to direct medium-sized projects.
Chen Dayong is so good that he actually brought his younger brother to my place?
Han Zhou came over after a while: "Xiaoyong, let's go and eat."
Han Zhou wanted to know whether Chen Dayong's ability to drink was hereditary or a genetic mutation.
Soon, Han Zhou knew that Chen Dayong's pure genetic mutation made Chen Xiaoyong even worse than himself.
Han Zhou hiccupped: "Xiaoyong... Xiaoyong is a bad name. You have to have a stage name."
"Look... hiccup... your brother... my brother's name is Chen Dayong, then you will be called Er Yong!"
Chen Xiaoyong was already drunk: "Er... Er Yong?"
"Yes, it's called Er Yong." Han Zhou: "Er, after we finish drinking, let's go choose the camera first, the photographer's camera, the soldier's gun, the duck's..."
Chen Xiaoyong suddenly became excited: "Brother! If you keep talking, it's 404!"
