Chapter 735 Show off the wealth field (4000+ chapters~)
"Chu Xing's World"!
In fact, it is "The Truman Show" born out of another time and space!
In another time and space, in the 1990s, both the East and the West had their own comedy masters. The one in Hollywood was Jim Carrey, who was also the first Hollywood superstar with a salary of US$20 million.
And from the East, of course it’s Zhou Xingchi, the king of comedy!
After Zhou Xingchi received Wu Jianye's script, he couldn't help but read it. As he watched, the shock on his face became more and more obvious.
"Director Wu, this movie..." For a moment, Zhou Xingchi couldn't think of any words to use to describe this script, but Zhou Xingchi still said: "Director Wu, thank you very much for choosing me.
As the leading actor in this movie, I like this movie very much. This is a movie that is different from all my previous roles. I will definitely study this role very seriously!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Very good. In fact, when I was writing this movie, I had already put you on Chu Xing's body. Believe me, this will be a very important part of your movie career."
Movie!”
Zhou Xingchi nodded and said: "I believe that when I saw this script, I knew that this would be a shocking movie!"
Wu Jianye: "You can keep this movie script for yourself and try to figure out the characters in it. The movie is expected to start shooting in April. I will notify you then!"
Zhou Xingchi said: "Okay, I'll wait for your call!"
After chatting about the movie with Zhou Xingchi, the two separated at the hotel. Wu Jianye did not go back to Yanjing directly, but flew to Shanghai first, and then transferred in Shanghai to Coconut City!
After Wu Jianye got off the plane, he felt a coolness that did not belong to February.
No wonder people in later generations want to come here to celebrate the New Year when the Chinese New Year comes. Just this weather makes many people satisfied!
Zhao Fei was already waiting for Wu Jianye in the airport lobby. When he saw Wu Jianye, he greeted him directly, "You're finally here!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "We have to decide on the actor first!"
Zhao Fei asked: "Have you decided who the actor will be?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "The first male lead is Zhou Xingchi, the second male lead is Zhang Guoli, the first female lead is He Qing, and the second female lead is Chen Hong!"
Zhao Fei was also stunned after hearing this: "Zhou Xingchi, the Zhou Xingchi from Xiangjiang?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, that's him!"
Zhao Fei subconsciously thought that Zhou Xingchi was not suitable for this movie, but he couldn't think of any reason, so he stopped talking and said: "Let's go, I will take you to see the filming location I found!"
After a few people walked out of the airport, they got in the car and headed directly towards the filming location Zhao Fei mentioned.
Through the car window, Wu Jianye saw the busy construction sites everywhere outside!
Zhao Fei introduced from the side: "Now the real estate industry in Qiong Province is crazy. Do you know what the housing prices in Qiong Province are now?"
Wu Jianye smiled and asked: "How much?"
Zhao Fei stretched out his palm and said exaggeratedly: "More than five thousand per square meter, which is higher than the housing prices in Yanjing and Shanghai. The supply is still in short supply, but fortunately the real estate industry in Qiong Province is developed, otherwise it would be impossible to find it."
Get to the right filming location!”
Wu Jianye laughed. When the housing prices in Qiong Province were the highest in the past two years, they could reach more than 7,500 per square meter. But what happens next is hard to say...
"By the way, Lao Wu, are you planning to buy a few houses here? I heard from my friends that housing prices here will continue to rise. What about, let's buy two houses!" Zhao Fei suggested.
Wu Jianye glanced at Zhao Fei and said, "You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
In 1988, the People's Government of Qiong Province was officially established. The central government's idea was to build the largest new special zone in the country in Qiong Province.
Due to the weak foundation and lack of development capital, the Qiong provincial government decided to exchange vast and valuable land for development investment.
It has been preliminarily determined that 30 square kilometers of land on the Yangpu Peninsula will be leased out as a development zone, and the contractor will be responsible for all infrastructure and investment promotion in the zone.
At the same time, Qiong Province also requested policies from the country. Special export policies, opening up the stock market, and real estate policies have become the three major goals of Qiong Province.
The first thing that flourished in Qiong Province was the automobile industry. Because of its special import and export policies, it became a paradise for mainlanders who wanted cars. Many people came to Qiong Province at that time and took away countless cars. However,
With the introduction of national control policies, this period of history did not last long.
As for opening up the stock market, the country also considers that the existing stock markets in Shanghai and Shenzhen are sufficient and cannot add another province. According to Wu Jianye, it is fortunate that it has not been implemented.
In the end, only real estate development was left in Qiong Province!
Many real estate tycoons in the country in later generations found their first pot of gold here!
Zhao Fei glanced at Wu Jianye and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong? Now the housing prices in Qiong Province are one price per day, not one price per hour. I heard from my friends that sometimes, they pay the price in front of me."
As soon as the contract was signed and the person hadn't left yet, someone immediately increased the price!"
Wu Jianye said: "The current permanent population of Yecheng is only more than 300,000. Do you know how many real estate companies there are in Yecheng now?"
Zhao Fei was stunned and asked: "How much?"
Wu Jianye said: "There are more than 20,000 people. The current population of Yecheng has a living area of more than 50 square meters. What is the living area of Yanjing? It is only 7 square meters..."
Wu Jianye didn't say the next words, but the meaning was already told to Zhao Fei. The development of Qiong Province has now entered a abnormal state!
In fact, before, Real Estate also wanted to come to Qiong Province to enclosure, but was later stopped by Wu Jianye.
If it weren't for the filming of "The World of Chu Xing", Wu Jianye would not have come here!
The driver drove to the high-tech zone of Yecheng.
After arriving at the High-tech Zone, Wu Jianye followed Zhao Fei out of the car. At the first glance, Wu Jianye fell in love with this place. The unified buildings and clean community were all very suitable for the filming of "The World of Chu Xing"!
Zhao Fei also said happily from the side: "How is it? It's not bad here!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, it fits the scene in the movie very well!"
Zhao Fei said: "It is more troublesome to transport the filming equipment, and it is also more difficult to find some extras!"
"The World of Chu Xing" requires the use of a large number of extras, which is also a very troublesome thing for this movie!
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said: "We'll look for extras locally first. If it doesn't work, we'll transfer them here to Yanjing. As for the filming equipment, we can only transport them here!"
Zhao Fei said helplessly: "This is the only way!"
Later, under the leadership of Zhao Fei, Wu Jianye visited the entire community, and the leaders of the community also rushed over.
"Director Wu, you are very welcome to shoot a movie here!" The community director is called Ma Yunbo, a middle-aged man who is slightly chubby!
Wu Jianye shook hands with him and said: "Director Ma, I will trouble you in the future!"
Ma Yunbo smiled and said: "Director Wu, you are too polite. The development of our Coconut City is really good now. If the news about Director Wu filming here spreads, it will definitely increase our popularity!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Thank you again, Director Ma. As for the residents here, we will make arrangements for it when the time comes!"
There are already some residents here, but they can also be used as extras!
Ma Yunbo said: "Director Wu, our community has prepared a dinner for us tonight, and we ask Director Wu to be there!"
Wu Jianye said: "Then I will be disrespectful!"
The communication between the two parties can be said to be very pleasant. Wu Jianye needs this community to shoot scenes for his movies, while Ma Yunbo needs Wu Jianye's fame to drive the popularity here.
Wu Jianye's fame is now well-known across the country. If Wu Jianye's movie can be filmed here, it will also be a very good publicity for their community.
In the evening, Wu Jianye attended the dinner arranged by Ma Yunbo.
A leader from Coconut City also appeared at the dinner, but his position was not too high. Wu Jianye could also think of the reason for this. The most important thing in Coconut City now is real estate development. If Wu Jianye is the boss behind Yiland
When you come to Yecheng, not only the leaders of Yecheng, but also the leaders of Qiong Province must come.
But who makes the leaders here not know these things?
In the evening, Wu Jianye returned to the hotel!
At this time, Coconut City was no worse than Yanjing and Shanghai. Due to the real estate boom, the nightlife here was almost catching up with that of Xiangjiang.
The business of hotels and dance halls is very prosperous, and most of the guests here come here to hunt for gold!
Wu Jianye was a little dizzy after drinking. Nowadays, what is important in China is to talk about friendship at the dinner table, especially for leaders like Ma Yunbo. The way to persuade people to drink is in a set way, as if they don't drink this glass of wine.
, the two of them are no longer friends.
The key point is that they are not friends in the first place, but thinking that Ma Yunbo will be used in many parts of the future movie shooting, Wu Jianye has no choice but to accompany him!
Only when you drink with them do you realize how bad your drinking capacity is. Even if Wu Jianye can drink one beer, the amount of nearly two bottles of liquor is still no match for him.
Sitting on the sofa, Dai Zhen gave Wu Jianye a towel to wash, and Wu Jianye took it and wiped his face, which finally calmed down a bit.
"These people are so good at drinking!" Zhao Fei drank too much today and couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Okay, don't complain. When I looked at that community today, there were still some places that were different from the overall style. I have to ask Director Ma for help with these!"
The planning of this community is unified, but because some of the houses are already occupied, the decoration of the exterior walls must have its own style, but this style is different from the complete style required in the movie!
So these all need to be revised during this period of time!
Director Ma must be asked to help with these tasks. Of course, Tangting Culture must also spend part of its funds as compensation!
However, these tasks will be handled by dedicated personnel and Wu Jianye will not be needed.
Wu Jianye's current task here is to sort out the relationship first, and at the same time find out the differences between the scenes in the community and the movie, and put forward suggestions for modifications.
In the following days, Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei wandered around the community. At the same time, there was a person beside him who followed Wu Jianye to record the opinions put forward by him. It was already the end of February, and there were only a few days left before the film was launched in April.
In more than a month, after Wu Jianye left, work here needed to start immediately!
The night before leaving, Zhao Fei found Wu Jianye and said mysteriously: "I'm leaving tomorrow, let's go out and relax at night!"
Wu Jianye looked at Zhao Fei with a smile and said, "Why do you have the courage now?"
Zhao Fei's face turned red, knowing that Wu Jianye was teasing him about what happened in Los Angeles.
"It's my brother, can you please stop mentioning that matter?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "What fun is there in this place? If you want to play, just fly to Xiangjiang. Then I will have someone take you to have fun!"
Wu Jianye doesn't have any thoughts about playing now. In the final analysis, he has reached a higher level. Now this kind of ordinary fun has no appeal to Wu Jianye!
Zhao Fei said: "How can it be the same? I heard that the entertainment here is quite lively. I have never been there before. Next time we come here we will be filming a movie and we don't have time. It's quite interesting to take a look now!"
Seeing Zhao Fei's high interest, Wu Jianye thought for a while and followed Zhao Fei.
The song and dance halls in Yecheng at this time were all built on the model of Xiangjiang, with a hall, booths, and a performance stage in the middle.
When Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei and others arrived here, the place was already crowded with quite a few people. What left Wu Jianye speechless was that Zhao Fei had actually reserved a seat early.
"This is the most popular song and dance hall in Yecheng. If you come late, there will be no room!" Zhao Fei said in a show off.
Under the leadership of the waiter, several people came to the booth that Zhao Fei had reserved long ago. After ordering some drinks and side dishes, Wu Jianye gradually became familiar with the environment here.
Dim lights and loud music are almost the standard features of a dance hall. There are several girls in cool clothes on the stage twisting and dancing.
From time to time there would be cheers from the audience.
And those applauding voices were also mixed with accents from all over the country. Each and every one of them gave up their suits and leather shoes, looking like social elites. Their shirt collars were unbuttoned and their ties were pulled down.
Zhao Fei smiled and said: "It will be exciting in a while!"
Wu Jianye was slightly startled and asked: "What's the excitement?"
Zhao Fei explained: "I heard later that the oiran from this song and dance hall will perform on the stage, and these rich people below will then reach the stage of showing off their wealth!"
Show off your wealth!
Wu Jianye then understood that this was actually the initial stage of domestic nightclubs. After a female singer or dancer came on stage, the people below would give fruit plates, flower baskets, and even toys.
The selling price of these things is much higher than the selling price outside. For them, this is actually a place to show off their wealth!
