Please tell me, the main reason for returning to my hometown this time is to completely eliminate the negative public opinion on the Internet. Of course, the other reason is to fulfill the wish of the original owner of the body.
Although the original owner died without any explanation, Chen Feng believed that he still missed his hometown and wanted to know his parents. His wish before his death must have been to honor his parents if he had a chance in the next life.
Since you have inherited everything from the original owner, even if the original owner cheated Chen Feng, you can only accept it, not to mention that he is now very affectionate towards Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan. You have already recognized them as your biological parents in your heart.
Chen Feng told the villagers that they should honor their parents and help the village do what they can. Of course, the villagers were very happy. They all grew up watching Chen Feng, not to mention that they were basically related to each other, so they didn't
To be polite, someone said directly: "Xiao Feng, since you are now successful and have money, you can find a way to build a good road in our village. From the village to the town, as long as this road is built, our village will be
There is still hope. Otherwise, in a few years, there will be fewer and fewer people in our village, and it will eventually become an uninhabited village. Just like Lishu Village on the other side of the mountain, no one lives in it now."
The person who said this was an old man in his 50s, also surnamed Chen. He was a senior man, so Chen Feng had to call him grandpa.
But when Chen Feng heard this request, he couldn't help but feel a toothache. The road from the village to the town is now a winding gravel road, winding and full of potholes. He drove it for more than half an hour on a motorcycle. The total length is at least
It is about ten kilometers long. Even if we consider the cement road, which is currently the cheapest and suitable for maintenance, it will cost at least several million to build this road.
Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan felt a pang of pain when they heard Grandpa's request. Zhao Xiaolan immediately said: "Grandpa, your request is a bit overwhelming. At first, the town built the winding gravel road for us. I heard that it was
It cost more than 5 million, not including those of us who were mobilized from the village to work for free every day. How much would it cost to repair better roads? Our Xiaofeng family does not have that much money."
At this time, another person spoke. He was the old village chief of the village. His surname was also Chen, and his name was Chen Maocai. He was also Chen Feng’s grandfather. He and Chen Feng’s family hadn’t even been on the fifth server yet. They were relatively close by blood.
"Now our gravel road has been repaired and the roadbed has been laid. They are all ready-made. All we need to do is harden them. Previously, several of our villages had consulted with the town. On the basis of the existing gravel road,
It only costs more than 3 million to build an asphalt road from the farthest mountain village on the other side of the mountain to the town. We in several villages are trying to find ways to find other people to beg for donations. In addition, we can also go to the town and county to ask for another sum.
The money may not be more than 3 million, Xiaofeng, you only need to come up with 2 million at most."
When Zhao Xiaolan heard this, she became even more displeased: "Uncle San, you are talking lightly, 2 million, where did our Xiaofeng get so much money?"
Chen Maocai smiled and said: "Mother Xiaofeng, you are looking down on your own son. I heard that the movie directed by Xiaofeng had a box office of at least one billion. And I heard that the movie only cost
He also invested less than 1 million, so if the final share of the box office is divided, Xiaofeng can get at least 100 million, is Xiaofeng like this?"
As the village chief, Chen Maocai must have some knowledge. Besides, this is not the era of lack of information in the past. Computers, TVs, and the Internet have already spread to every corner. Chen Maocai graduated from junior high school and knows how to surf the Internet. The village committee office building
There was a computer with Internet access nearby, so after he heard about Chen Feng in the past two days, he went to check it out, and then asked his son who had settled down in the county.
Finally, he learned about Chen Feng's current situation in the capital, as well as the box office share of the movie Chen Feng made. More importantly, his son had almost estimated Chen Feng's current net worth.
Chen Feng really can't deny this. As of yesterday, the total box office of the movie "This Man Is From Earth" has reached more than 800 million. If there is no accident, it will successfully break 1 billion in a few days. And if it continues to be released for another month
, one billion is certainly very easy.
Taking the 1 billion box office as an example, Chen Feng calculated that what he could finally get was probably more than 100 million and less than 200 million. After deducting personal income tax, it was probably just over 100 million. Of course, this is only the domestic box office.
income, and also deducted 30% of the income given to Liu Qinfei.
In addition, there are foreign box office and online on-demand revenue. These are his alone, and he has not taken care of these aspects for the time being.
Chen Feng just smiled, neither denying nor affirming, but everyone understood what he meant, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
"Sangong, I have built this road in the village. But I don't have that much money for the time being, because it will take a few months for the box office share to be distributed. What I can do now is to improve the living environment and life in the village.
Regarding the environment, I plan to clean up and rectify some places in the village. I will clear out the dirty corners and pave them with cement. I will also get some fitness equipment. Then, I will build a yard on the open space next to the village committee office building for everyone's convenience.
In our free time, we gather there to chat, play cards, and perform other entertainment activities. We can also perform some performances during festivals. In addition, I plan to invest in a handicraft factory in the village to produce various bamboo products and generate income for the village.
.”
In Chenjia Village here, the hillsides are covered with bamboo. Many people here can weave bamboo products, including Chen Feng’s parents. There is also a tradition in the village of weaving bamboo products and handicrafts and selling them outside, but these are just small things.
, it has not formed any scale.
"Okay!" Chen Maocai cheered loudly and clapped vigorously, "Xiao Feng, you said that if these things are accomplished, you will be a great benefactor of our village, and our village will erect a monument and statue for you."
Chen Feng quickly waved his hand and refused: "This is too exaggerated. I am still so young. We should wait until I am dead to discuss erecting a monument or statue."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Then they all praised Chen Feng one after another.
After a period of commotion, the people in the village finally slowly dispersed.
After the last person left, Chen Feng's parents closed the door, and then the family of three sat in the living room on the first floor to talk.
"Xiaofeng, can your movie really make hundreds of millions?" Elaine Chao asked the question that concerned her most.
Of course, there is no need to hide anything from his parents. Chen Feng nodded directly and said: "Yes, I did a rough calculation and only calculated the domestic box office share. I will probably be able to get more than 100 million by then. It depends on the details.
As long as the total box office reaches 1 billion, I can probably get around 150 million."
When the two elders heard what Chen Feng said, they were immediately stunned. 150 million, how much does it cost? They never dreamed that their son would make so much money, and it was from a movie. This is really
He was so promising that they were all frightened.
"Xiao Feng, how did you become so successful? Who did you learn about making movies from? I've never heard you say this before?" Zhao Xiaolan looked full of emotion and confusion.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Mom, I have been working outside for six or seven years, and I have been studying hard. Filmmaking is also something I learned slowly by myself. Of course, my talent is mainly due to luck. I will see you next time
If you make a movie, you won’t necessarily make money this way.”
The two elders nodded in understanding.
Originally, they were worried that Chen Feng would not have that much money to spend to help the village, but now that he really has so much money, it is reasonable to spend some money to repay his hometown, and they no longer worry about it.
