Chapter 966 Management fee for filming (4400+ chapters~)
Haojiang is known as the Las Vegas of the East, and its spinach industry is world-famous!
However, the spinach industry is a gray commercial area, and Haojiang, which regards spinach as the most important economic pillar, also indicates that this is not a good place. That is why, there is a mixture of fish and snakes here, domestic, Xiangjiang, and local.
, and various forces from Southeast Asia gathered here, truly making this place a world capital that is bright on the outside but dirty and chaotic on the inside.
However, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. The most powerful ones here are the local associations in Haojiang!
"Director Wu, I should have sent someone to pick you up at the airport!"
No matter how the groups below are making trouble, there are still only a few people in Haojiang who really have the power to make a difference!
The first is the former Haojiang Wang He. Unfortunately, Mr. He has passed away. Without Mr. He, the He family was once targeted by the Portuguese government. There were also malicious runs on the bank run by his family. But at that time,
The country decisively came to help and successfully helped the He family overcome the difficulties. When Haojiang returned, Mr. He's son became the first chief executive of Haojiang!
Because Haojiang and Xiangjiang are adjacent and have similar cultural attributes, someone in Haojiang once rated the four major families, including the family of another chief executive of Haojiang later...
As for the He Hongshen family, who has always been considered by everyone to be the emperor of Haojiang, they are not actually included.
But this does not affect He Hongshen's position in Haojiang. After the establishment of Macao Entertainment, it has firmly controlled the gambling industry in Haojiang, and most of the struggles among associations in Haojiang actually revolve around Macao Entertainment.
In terms of casino business, Junket Operator is actually equivalent to the junket agent in Lisboa, introducing gamblers to the casino and also doing loan sharking business.
Whoever controls Junket Operator is actually equivalent to blocking the casino's customer base.
The casino business is equivalent to He Hongshen dividing Lisboa into several small gambling halls, then contracting them out to some people with high-rollers, and then drawing commissions from them.
After the crew of Wu Jianye's "Inception" came to Haojiang and just checked into the hotel, He Hongshen found out that Wu Jianye was specially sent to the hotel to pick him up, and hosted a banquet for Wu Jianye and Zhu Xian at his home.
.
He Hongshen's fourth wife, angle, was accompanying him.
Angle, who just gave birth to a baby, has recovered her body in less than two months.
The child angle gave birth to this year was the one who later married a supermodel.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I haven't thanked He Sheng properly for what happened before!"
Wu Jianye was talking about the locomotive and the streets. Because Wu Jianye changed the main location in "Inception" to Haojiang, He Hongshen's help was needed for many things.
He Hongshen smiled heartily and said: "Director Wu is too polite to say that. This is not a big deal in the first place. I am very happy to be able to help Director Wu!"
angle sat aside and looked at He Hongshen in surprise. He didn't expect that He Hongshen, who always kept his word in Haojiang, would be so polite to Wu Jianye. Although she is now He Hongshen's most favored fourth wife, there are some things that she still
unknown.
For example, the cooperation between Wu Jianye, He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong. Initially, He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong invested in a Canadian computer company, and then Wu Jianye became a shareholder, mainly engaged in the sales of Tunan Technology's products in Canada, North America and other places. Over the years, as Tunan
As technology continues to grow, the market value of the computer company they once invested in has increased more than ten times!
Every year's dividends make He Hongshen smile happily and feel happy for his wise decision.
Since it was a family dinner, there was naturally not much to talk about. Wu Jianye and He Hongshen exchanged glasses and talked about things other than business.
While Wu Jianye was chatting with He Hongshen, someone was also discussing the movie "Inception" in a mansion in Haojiang.
"I heard today that the domestic director Wu Jianye has brought the crew to Haojiang!"
In the mansion, there was a man sitting on the sofa who was a little thin, but his eyes were like those of a hawk that made people dare not look directly at him.
This man is Shui Fanglong, who is now prominent in Haojiang. Now Shui Fanglong is partnering with another big boss in Haojiang to monopolize the Junket Operator business in Haojiang. This shows how big his heart is!
The speaker was one of his top confidants, Master Su, sitting on the other side with a cigarette in his hand.
"Come just come, just pay the money and that's it!"
Like Xiangjiang, you have to pay protection fees when filming in Haojiang. However, Shui Fanglong's mind was not on this kind of small money at this time. What he was thinking about was how to monopolize Haojiang's code in partnership with another person.
Aberdeen business.
Master Su laughed and said with some self-deprecation: "The problem now is that the other party did not pay the money. It is obvious that Director Wu does not take us to heart!"
Shui Fanglong was stunned and said: "You turned against him again. This is Haojiang. I don't care who you are. As long as you are filming in Haojiang, you have to provide water for us!"
"Even Fengge Pictures in Xiangjiang has to pay for filming here. Why shouldn't he? Find out when they will start filming, and find a few brothers to give them a big gift to let them know about Haojiang.
Rules." Shui Fanglong said and was very dissatisfied in the end!
Master Su said: "I think we should be more careful. Fengge Pictures doesn't want to break the rules when filming here. I heard that they never use water when filming in Xiangjiang, and this Wu
We have to be a little cautious about the rumors about Jian Ye being in Xiangjiang!"
Shui Fanglong was at the height of his success at this time. The business with the other monopoly junkyard operator he had cooperated with was coming to an end. Their opponent asked He Hongshen to come forward, but they were still able to stop him. This was the time when Shui Fanglong was in trouble.
Fang Long was at the peak of his life, so when Master Su talked about Wu Jianye, he was also very dissatisfied.
"Su Zai, I find that the more you get around, the less courageous you become. Even if Wu Jianye has some influence in Xiangjiang, don't forget that this is Haojiang. A strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes. Wu Jianye can't attract people in Haojiang."
What a big wave!"
"But I heard that he has a very good relationship with He Hongshen. Even if you don't look at the monk's face, you still have to look at the Buddha's face!" Master Su said.
"What do you know? It's not that we don't follow the rules, it's the other party that doesn't follow the rules. I've never heard of anyone filming in Haojiang without having to provide us with water. If this matter spreads, where will our face go?
let it go!"
"As for He Hongshen's side, at worst, after the matter is over, I will go to He Sheng's door in person to explain it. I believe He Sheng will not say anything!"
No matter how they monopolize the Junket Operator business, these people in Haojiang can be said to rely on Lisboa for their livelihood, so no matter how powerful they are, they have to give He Hongshen face.
Later, Galaxy Image in Hong Kong made a movie, "Dark Flower"!
In it, the prototype of the old guy mentioned by Liang Chaowei is actually He Hongshen.
Master Su saw Shuifanglong's attitude was so firm, so he said nothing more.
...
On Haojiang Street, the crew of "Inception" assembled. After being interviewed by Xiangjiang media, Wu Jianye gave the order to prepare to start filming!
At this time, the crew of "Inception" can say that everything is ready and the east wind has arrived!
As a result, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew over.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Who asked you to film here!"
Just when Zhao Fei and others were preparing to start filming, several young men wearing leather vests barged in outside the crew.
So Zhao Fei and others subconsciously looked at Wu Jianye, but Wu Jianye's expression was very calm at this time. He naturally knew the rules of filming in Haojiang, but he didn't expect that someone would actually dare to come to his place.
Making trouble on the side.
"What do you want to do?" Wu Jianye stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of those people.
"What we want to do depends on what you want to do. Do you know where this place is? Haojiang, you are filming here and you don't even go to our boss's pier. I think you really don't understand the rules!" The young man said with his hand
Li said arrogantly while carrying a baseball bat.
Wu Jianye glanced at him and asked, "Who is your boss?"
"Waterfossaurus!" The short mule was very proud, thinking that Waterfossaurus must be able to suppress the opponent.
Wu Jianye laughed. He had never heard of Shuifangsaurus. He only knew that in the 1990s, there was a big boss in Haojiang who committed suicide to film his autobiography. When these short mules came in, Wu Jianye thought that
It's his person, I didn't expect it to be wrong.
"I haven't heard of it, but I would like to hear your rules!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
The only time Wu Jianye encountered the issue of paying protection fees during filming was when he went to Hong Kong to invest in the filming of "Mr. Zombie" for the first time. He never expected that he would encounter such a thing now.
When the short mule saw Wu Jianye's fearless look and the smile on his lips, he felt that his majesty was stimulated. If it were normal, he would have just started to attack, but it was different today. When he came, Master Su specifically told him,
Try to be as 'gentle' as possible in collecting protection fees!
Master Su still kept an eye on it. Regardless of whether Xiangjiang's rumors about Wu Jianye were true or false, one thing he could be sure of was that the rumors were not necessarily unfounded. The fact that Wu Jianye was friends with He Hongshen already proved that Wu Jian
Ye is definitely not as simple a director as he seems on the surface.
The quarrel was so tense that it was difficult for He Hongshen to explain.
"The rule is that if you want to film here, you have to pay us a management fee. Otherwise, you will never even think about starting a movie here!" With Master Su's instructions, although the short mule was arrogant, he did not really take action.
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Then what if I don't obey your rules?"
The short mule's face changed, and he quickly recalled what Master Su told him. After thinking for a while, he said: "If you don't follow the rules, then of course there is nothing we can do. However, this place in Haojiang is very chaotic. If the time comes, you guys
There's trouble here, don't worry if we didn't warn you?"
Wu Jianye looked at him and asked, "So, you are threatening me?"
The short mule laughed and said: "I didn't say that, our water house is the most disciplined!"
Wu Jianye did not continue to talk nonsense to him: "Then you can leave, I would like to see who will come to our place to cause trouble!"
The short mule said: "You have the guts!"
After saying that, he actually turned around and left.
But when he left, he found that he was surrounded by a group of men in black!
The opponent's people were numerous and tough, and the short mule was a little nervous. Why didn't he notice these people when he first arrived?
But soon he heard Wu Jianye's voice from behind him: "Let them go!"
Then the man in black turned sideways and let the short mules go out.
After they left, Chen Hai came over and said apologetically: "Director Wu, I'm sorry, we didn't take it seriously and let some irrelevant people come in!"
Wu Jianye's movies have always been very successful in keeping confidentiality measures. Today is the first day of filming and it is in Haojiang, so we will receive reporters from Xiangjiang. When the reporters left the show, Chen Hai's people actually
I was watching the reporters leave the venue, so I missed the group of short mules.
But Chen Hai would not explain these things to Wu Jianye. No matter what, it was their fault.
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "It's okay, but you have to keep an eye on the situation here later. I guess they won't be so honest and let it go."
Chen Hai nodded and said with a serious face: "Director Wu, don't worry, we will make sure not a single fly comes in!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said nothing.
After Chen Hai left, Zhu Hao came to Wu Jianye with some worry and asked, "Would you like to call He Hongshen? Didn't you say he is very powerful here?"
Wu Jianye turned to look at Zhu Xian, and also saw worried expressions on other cast and crew members, especially some new actors, who had never experienced anything like this before.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's okay, Chen Hai and the others are enough. Moreover, even if I don't call, He Hongshen will know about this matter!"
After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye clapped his hands and said, "Okay, don't worry, we'll start shooting now!"
Following Wu Jianye's order, the crew began to operate normally. However, maybe because of what happened just now, some new actors were a little worried, so they always made mistakes during the filming process. This made Wu Jianye very
I was really annoyed, but I also knew that this was the first shot of the first scene, so everyone was already nervous, and with this kind of thing happening, naturally they couldn’t let it go!
Wu Jianye had no choice but to tell them the drama seriously.
In fact, as Wu Jianye said, He Hongshen did find out about the incident very quickly and personally called Wu Jianye to ask if he could help.
It's a pity that He Hongshen didn't know that Wu Jianye never answered the phone when filming the movie, and because Dai Zhen came to Haojiang, Wu Jianye gave him two days of vacation and asked him to take Chen Jiayi back to Xiangjiang.
Visiting relatives.
So the phone call between Wu Jianye and He Hongshen was so perfectly missed!
After finishing the day's shooting, Wu Jianye was a little surprised that the other party didn't send anyone. However, Jiang Qian and the other actors thought that they were just a group of paper tigers. Wu Jianye thought that it was He Hongshen who called the other party...
...
In the evening, when Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei, Ding Sheng, Chen Daoxuan, Jiang Yu and others were discussing tomorrow's shooting plan in the room, Zhao Fei knew a lot about Xiangjiang, so he still asked worriedly: "Old Wu.
"Is everything okay this morning?"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry, it'll be fine!"
"Those people are really hateful. If we were in China, we would definitely call the police to arrest them!" Jiang Xian said angrily. He was born in a big courtyard and was never afraid of such a scene.
Wu Jianye smiled. If the other party came to apologize in the past two days, Wu Jianye would not be prepared to talk to them. After all, he did not have so much time to entangle with the other party. Wu Jianye would not mind if the other party was not sensible.
When you finish filming the Haojiang scene, find someone to take care of them!
It's a pity that Wu Jianye didn't know that he and He Hongshen had missed the phone call, and He Hongshen also forgot to call Shui Fanglong due to personal reasons. After all, it was a series of coincidences that caused some minor problems...
