Chen Shi tidied up his uncle's house and found that the warehouse was full of strange things, many of which his uncle had no use for.
There are also many famous cigarettes and wines, and there are no less than a hundred high-end cigars. My uncle doesn't smoke these anymore. Chen Shi keeps the ones his uncle can use and takes away the ones he doesn't use and puts them in the one he just bought.
In the top floor of more than 60 floors.
There are no less than 300 bottles of Maotai Wuliangye Lafite, and the cheapest ones cost 20,000 to 30,000 bottles. For ordinary people, these are first-class goods.
But now my uncle basically doesn't drink or smoke. He just drinks tea and chats with friends. He doesn't care about tobacco and alcohol. Some young people gave them to him.
As for the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, Chen Shi didn't move them. He cleared out more than twenty square meters, found a moving company, and closed the doors and windows of the house. Special cleaning staff would come to clean it every week. As for whether he was afraid or not
Something stolen?
It is no exaggeration to say that the house looks like nothing, but once the door is locked, the security system is still very strong. If an outsider comes in, the police will be automatically called as soon as possible. There is a wall between the police station and the police station on the street behind the wall.
superior.
The cleaning staff are all professionally trained. If the things in my uncle's house are stolen, the housekeeping company will be finished.
Usually when cleaning, the housekeeping company will arrange for a special supervisor to supervise the work. They are also afraid of it.
Mr. Li from Empty Bottle Media sent a message to Chen Shi. Chen Shi read it and replied: "I'm going to investigate. Don't tell the public about this project for the time being. You go to other places to inspect, and then summarize it and remember it."
, leave the company and ask for leave on the grounds of physical discomfort, don’t tell anyone, it’s fine as long as the two of us know about it.”
"I know Mr. Chen, I promise to complete the task." Mr. Li was so happy that his sparse hair seemed to be growing back. His fighting spirit was rising. He tried hard to suppress his excitement because he was reused by Chen Shi.
Mr. Li's original name is Li Fu. He is the kind of person who can make up for his shortcomings through hard work. He feels that as long as he does everything more and more fully than others, he will have a place.
But investing in this depends on overall strength, not just hard work. So Li Fu is not young, but he has been in the investment world for thirty years and has always been tepid. He really has made no big mistakes despite his qualifications.
Only then can you take the overall position of the project.
Compared with the other three projects, which are always around forty years old, Li Fu is already fifty-six years old, but this is what Chen Shi likes about him. This kind of person cannot have any big surprises, but he wins by being stable.
, for example, during Chen Shi’s temporary inspection this time, only he prepared the most projects.
Although many projects may have been discovered to be problematic or impossible by others, and he only became aware of them later, he is still doing the work.
The task Chen Shi gave him this time was to visit all thirty of Xingmei's cinemas, understand the situation, and then issue a report. Chen Shi wanted to repurchase Xingmei Cinemas at a low price.
But Jiang Wu couldn't let Jiang Wu know about it, and he couldn't let anyone else know. Chen Shi left if he wanted to, and no one cared about him. But Lao Li's departure might attract others' attention. Lao Li found an excuse saying that he had high blood pressure.
My health was not working anymore, and the doctor asked me to go back for treatment.
Most people would not doubt it, because everyone knows about Lao Li's health and he is old, so only Chen Shi and Lao Li know about it.
If Jiang Wu is asked to wait, he probably won't be able to spend any more. When the time comes for a full acquisition, the price will be very low. Jiang Wu may not make any money or even lose money, and he doesn't want to lose everything.
The ready-made theaters that Chen Shi likes, as well as the projects that he tricked into signing contracts, are all existing resources. If these resources and the exclusive online platform are placed on Empty Bottle Entertainment’s APP, then
There are great advantages.
Chen Shi is going to the film and television base, Hengdian, where hundreds of film crews are working every day. Hengdian is already an independent commercial existence, and the surrounding residents and businesses are basically related to film and television.
The nearby houses are basically rented by group members, and the offices and other buildings are rented by various large and small entertainment companies. There are also porridge restaurants nearby that are not found elsewhere, such as some specific theme hotels that can be rented to tourists.
, it can also be rented to the crew for filming.
For example, the theme hotel of Lao Shanghai, the decoration design inside is all in the style of Shanghai in the 1910s and 20s, and there are also ancient hotels and so on, which are both commercial and residential.
The occupancy rate of group performances here alone is 10+ per year. Nowadays, most movies and TV dramas are filmed here. Whether it is ancient movies or TV dramas or modern movies and TV dramas, the most convenient thing here is that there are many actors and ready-made buildings.
There are many, and the operation process is convenient. For example, if you want to find someone to come and make a guest appearance, you can find it by going to the crew next door.
Many actors live in Hengdian all year round. The consumption here is not low. Food, accommodation and transportation are comparable to those in first- and second-tier cities. Many celebrities open restaurants, milk tea shops, etc. here, and some directly open film and television companies to help the crew recruit actors.
play.
Chen Shi booked a hotel in the style of the Republic of China and chose a large suite on the top floor, which cost more than a thousand a night. It was close to the film and television city, and the overall style was in a nostalgic style. There were eight floors in total, and the elevator still had a retro sliding door.
You can go directly to the third floor by taking the spiral staircase.
The accommodation fee of more than 1,000 yuan is not cheap here. Most express hotels cost 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per night, and there are cheaper ones of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, but they are far away from the film and television city.
The closer to the film and television city, the more expensive the price. Chen Shi put down his luggage and went down for a walk. Some attractions in the film and television city require admission. You can see the crew filming anytime and anywhere, but there will be people watching, and you are not allowed to take photos of the crew at will.
Photos from filming, for fear of spoilers, some areas are directly blocked and you won’t be allowed to enter.
Generally, these types of movies are directed by famous directors. A movie can easily cost hundreds of millions. It is more expensive to rent the venue. Some crews rent out a whole street. For example, there are Hong Kong sisters here, which are specially suitable for filming.
Used in Hong Kong dramas, the decoration design of the shop fronts and the entire street is based on the one-to-one wishful thinking of Hong Kong Island in the last century.
Many Hong Kong dramas are mostly filmed here, not on Hong Kong Island, because there are too many audit restrictions when filming on Hong Kong Island. Not only on Hong Kong Island, but also in any city where you film, you must undergo audits, road audits, and environmental audits.
You can't suddenly close the road to take pictures. Most of these inspections are not fixed in time, and you may not be allowed to take pictures.
You can't shoot anytime and anywhere, but here, you can set up a street and shoot whatever you want, which saves shooting time, and the cost is not expensive based on the shooting time.
And most of them are rented by a partnership. You shoot during the day, he shoots at noon, I shoot at night, I shoot during the day, you shoot at night, so that several crews can use one scene.
There is also a one-for-one Forbidden City here. Directors who spend hundreds of millions on a movie, such as Lao Mouzi, may directly rent the Forbidden City here for filming. The rent lasts for more than half a year, and the rent costs several billions per day.
100,000, so the crew can't afford to delay. Many directors criticize Xiao Xianrou for being unprofessional and always asking for leave for commercials and commercial performances. Just because of this, a crew may not be able to start work today. One day's rent plus staff salary may cost hundreds.
Ten thousand.
There are also those who are late for acting like celebrities and delaying their arrival in the city for filming. The director will directly scold them. This loss of rent is too great.
After all, the money is included in the funds. Once it is spent, it will be difficult for investors to give it to you. Now when the director signs a contract, he will tell the actor that you have decided. You should first arrange your formation. It is best not to form it. Every day
The crew needs to be well formed and given a schedule in advance to arrange which scenes you will shoot.
Because the rent is so high now, hundreds of thousands a day, it was still early when Lao Mouzi was filming, but now it may cost a million a day to rent it all. Most of them are rented by a crew to shoot in an area, or they work together to shoot.
Shoot at staggered times.
There is also a kind of arrogance, that is, I spend hundreds of millions to build a real scene in an open space that has not yet been developed. This kind of thing is also done by big-name directors. What I built can not only be used for filming, but also
It can be rented out, partnered with some real estate developers, and can also be used as a tourist destination for sightseeing.
In short, there are crews and actors everywhere here, and many people want to make a name for themselves here, because if you are spotted by a big-name director or actor here, you may be able to fly into the sky.
There is an endless stream of students from major art schools here. It is also a city that never sleeps. There are businesses and customers 24 hours a day. You don’t know which crews are starting work tonight. A crew of one crew is basically one hundred and eighty.
When I started as a No. 1 person, there were always so many people there every time I ate.
This is the glamorous side, but there is more sadness here that outsiders don’t know.
Chen Shi found a tour guide, and it was none other than Zhang Guosheng. He had no filming today. Zhang Guosheng was spotted by Chen Shi from a transparent person, and now he has become a popular and powerful actor. He has filmed several web dramas of Geng Hao.
Now that his popularity has soared, in order to express his gratitude to Chen Shi, he proposed to sign a ten-year contract with Empty Bottle Entertainment, and the price was set by Chen Shi.
Chen Shi didn't waste any time and directly gave him a fixed amount of 50 million a year. No matter what happens to you in the future, I will give you 500 million in ten years and arrange several privately customized movies and TV series for him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Don't talk to anyone else, just call me Brother Shitou. I'm older than you. How about it? Have you been having a hard time filming recently?"
"It's not hard work. I feel at ease when I have a movie to shoot. What I'm most afraid of is not having a job. I'm different from other people. I have no way out. When I was a kid, my parents thought I had a talent for dancing, so they sent me to learn dance. I also like dancing.
My parents sold their house for me, sent me to Shanghai to learn dance, and then signed a contract with an overseas entertainment company as a trainee.
For four whole years, I was like a transparent person, and my dancing was not outstanding, because there were too many outstanding dancers among the trainees. At that time, I was completely depressed, and my parents were gritting their teeth and living their lives, not even daring to
Sickness, one year my mother was sick, and I had no choice but to have no money. I asked the company for a loan, but it didn’t come back, and I asked my colleagues for a loan, but they didn’t get it either.
I wanted to take on private work, but they didn’t want me as an unknown person. In the end, it was my grandma who borrowed money from others. At that time, my parents were criticized by a group of family members, saying that they were mentally ill. What’s the use of training me?
It was also uncomfortable, and I once regretted entering this industry.
Thank you very much for lending me 100,000 yuan when you first signed my contract to help my family pay off a sum of money. You also lent me 100,000 yuan to help my mother with medical treatment. I will be grateful for this forever."
Chen Shi shook his head. This guy was too polite. When he first signed him, he actually sent a text message asking Chen Shi to borrow money. He explained the reason and wrote an IOU to Chen Shi. Chen Shi made sure that the money was not spent randomly.
, actually lent him 200,000 yuan. He wanted to lend 100,000 yuan to his mother for medical treatment, and Chen Shi lent him 200,000 yuan.
"You should be more grateful to Geng Hao, he discovered that you have acting talent."
"Thank you, but Director Geng asked me to thank you. He said that without you, one of us would be worse off than the other." Zhang Guosheng said.
"You are gold, you will shine wherever you are, but I discovered it in advance. By the way, I helped you turn down a Hollywood drama and asked you to play a fourth male lead. Anyone who comes to you in the future will refuse directly.
Times have changed. You don't have to be rich just by doing Hollywood movies. Now the market is that Hollywood needs us, not that we need him.
If you want to be the male lead, you should be the male lead. You are not in a hurry now. You are improving your acting skills. When the time comes, I will invest several hundred million to let Geng Hao and you make a big movie. Wouldn’t it be nice for us to be the male leads ourselves? Let’s talk about this.
It’s a side that no one knows about, I really want to know.”
Zhang Guosheng wore a hat, mask and sunglasses, fearing that entertainment reporters would recognize him and slap him.
Zhang Guosheng took Chen Shi around the streets and whispered: "It's actually very cruel here, even more cruel than we thought. I didn't understand it when I first came here to film, but I gradually understood it.
Brother Shitou, have you seen the many bathhouses, bars and other entertainment venues here? Many of them are female extras or graduates from art schools working there, and they also provide services, as you know, in order to pay the rent.
Make some quick money and continue filming.
At first I heard that this group of women didn't do this either, and I was very repelled. But then I couldn't afford the rent, and I didn't want to leave here, let alone work a long-term job, so I chose to do that.
There are some women who don’t want to do this. Just like most male actors, they work as delivery riders or temporary workers to make some money. They don’t need to perform in groups every day. They are all waiting for opportunities to join the circle. As long as you are in the same crew
If you have an official position, there will be a group of people leaning on you.
Did you see that noodle shop owner? I have been an extra for twenty years, and finally opened a shop here. I haven’t even gotten married yet. Whenever I have time, I work as an extra on the set, and I also work with the owners of the two shops next door.
I spent money to shoot a short film, but it didn't make any money and I lost more than 300,000 yuan.
There are also those people who live broadcast with mobile phones. They now rely on this to make a living. Most of the female group members no longer make quick money, and they become anchors if they are pretty, but the dream of all of them is to be able to
There is a character in the play. There are many fraud cases here.
There were people who pretended to be members of a film crew and said they wanted to make a movie. In the end, many people were defrauded of their money and sex. There are also some low-cost micro-films that come here to find male and female leads. After all, they are cheap and have acting experience."
After hearing this, Chen Shi sighed, these people have been gambling their entire lives. So many people have gambled their entire lives here. Many people they saw were in their fifties and sixties, and they probably hung out here in their twenties and thirties.
I have never left, always waiting for an opportunity.
However, there are only one pair of male and female protagonists in a play, and there are no more than ten main characters in a play. Is it worth waiting for so many people for a chance? Or is there no way out for them?
