Chapter 3328: I didn’t want to make money, but I made it.
In the end, of course, we split the money for this movie. As a result of its good performance at the Berlin Film Festival, Ye Mingshen, one of the investors, received US$3.9 million, which is quite an achievement.
Among directors in most countries, they actually make some underground movies and so on, basically not to make money, but basically to realize their own ideals. Of course, in order to realize their own ideals, they also want to be able to make money.
Building a reputation cannot be denied.
But, what’s more, most of the movies made by these directors with passion are losing money. There is no doubt about this, and there are very few that can make money.
The movie that Ye Ming invested in not only won him the title of Best Actor, but also made real money. This is a representative movie in underground movies.
Director Li has also made a lot of money, and the key is to show it off. His fame has become a direct lineage of the Berlin Film Festival. It can be said that in the future, as long as the films directed by Li Dengfeng and Li are not too bad, he will want to participate in the Berlin Film Festival.
Links are relatively easy.
Or I dare not say that it depends on the technical level, the script and the performance of the actors, but no matter how it is passed through the preliminary selection and then participates in the main competition, Director Li Dongfeng and Li will still be better than other directors.
It's even easier. After all, it has become a system of the Berlin Film Festival, so we must take care of each other.
This time, Director Li decided to stay and communicate with some colleagues for a while, and then go back to prepare for the next movie. After all, it is not too early now, so he must have a good communication with his colleagues. You said it was in
It doesn’t matter if you go around Europe, anyway, it’s all about the exchange of arts.
Ye Ming and Zai hurried back because there were still a lot of things waiting for them in the country. If they didn't go back early, many things wouldn't be possible.
Therefore, Ye Ming and Zhao Yazhi directly bought the nearest flight and flew back to China. During the flight, Zhao Yazhi suggested: "Boss, we have achieved such good results this time."
, I think, we should set up a studio, or it would be better to set up a company, after all, we want to go formal.
It is better to set up a company or something, so that external negotiations will be more formal. Otherwise, if you say that although I am your agent, how can I talk to others, I will just say,
Your agent is not suitable for this either.
You need to at least set up a studio affiliated with a big company, or you can simply set up your own film and television company.
At that time, we can also recruit actors or something. If we don't do this, you will seem a bit irregular. You were not particularly famous before. In this case, you don't have to pay special attention to this matter, and no one will pay special attention to it.
We, but now that you have become the best actor, under such a situation, if we do not set up a studio or company, then it may be a little troublesome to cooperate.
So, I think it’s better for us to set up a company.”
Ye Ming, as for Ye Ming, had no objection at this time. He thought about it seriously, then nodded and said: "It may develop faster now. How about you set up a company after you go back? I'll give it to you first."
When I call the company, you can let me run the company first. It seems better.
Come on. In this case, the head office is in Beijing, and if it is a branch, it can be in Magic City. After all, there are more opportunities here in Beijing. Although the economy in Magic City is also relatively developed, for entertainment
The support is not particularly good, but it is different here in Beijing. Not only are there huge crowds of tourists, but it is also easier to find actors for filming movies and TV series.
Everyone has certain acting skills, so it’s better to say it’s completely OK and there are no problems.
At this time, actually, we should be busy with our own affairs first. If there are good actors and talents, we can also sign them, but at least we will take care of them now. If you have some TV series like this that you like,
If I ask you, you can also sign it yourself.
This is who I am. Being my agent is actually a transition. At this time, if you want to act, you can take it on your own, no problem. As for me, as long as it is a contract signed with the crew
, I can handle the rest by myself, and I don’t have to follow an agent or a nanny. It doesn’t matter to me.
After all, I have been an actor for so many years, and I know the acting industry quite well. There is no need to find a group of people to follow me. I am not a superstar, and I don’t need to protect my own safety. Fans think
It’s easy to find me.”
In fact, Zhao Yazhi was also very moved by this proposal. It is already very difficult to find such a boss.
In fact, during this period of time, Zhao Yazhi was also constantly observing some things in the entertainment industry. She understood very well that if an actress has no backing, it would be very difficult to get involved in the entertainment industry. Others have invested so much.
Money has found so many people to form the crew, why should they support you?
What does it have to do with you, right?
So, it is almost impossible for an actress to get a good and important role if she has no backing.
Especially for a newcomer, you may have to come into contact with many hidden rules. In fact, as an actress, you have two choices in the entertainment industry, either you deal with one person, or you deal with a group of people.
Anyway, there are some unspoken rules that you must abide by, and at this time, in fact, it is just a choice to deal with one person, your boss.
As long as he is his own boss, if Ye Ming can help him at this time, then there should be no big problems later. At least now it seems that Ye Ming is very suitable for the entertainment industry, and facts have proved that Ye Ming's investment vision is also very good.
It was so high that at this time he actually chose to invest in Black Mine, a movie that not everyone was very optimistic about.
The key is that this time, the movie Black Mine can help her win the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival. This can completely save Ye Ming from struggling for five years. Such a time can be regarded as a golden time for male artists.
So at this time, Zhao Yazhi felt that she was doing the right thing by hugging him. She had just entered the entertainment industry for the first time, and she could directly meet her boss, a strong person like Ye Ming, a person who protects his shortcomings.
It is indeed very rare.
Therefore, since the boss had already decided at this time, Zhao Yazhi quickly said: "1 million US dollars doesn't need to be that much, almost 200,000 US dollars is enough. We are just going to start up the company in the early stage.
In this case, it will be more convenient for me to negotiate with others. As for me to go filming, I will talk about it when the time comes. If there is a suitable one, I will say it. As an agent, I must fulfill my responsibility as an agent.
, but now it’s up to the boss, you are in a critical period now, how can I get away?”
Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. I was alone before, right? I said I would help you, and I definitely want to help you. If you want to take care of me, it's not impossible. Well, take care of me."
It's very good.
Twenty-Four Bridges, on a moonlit night, how can a beautiful lady teach you how to play the flute? I think you are still making continuous progress, which is quite rare."
Zhao Yazhi seemed to have thought of something, but he just gave up after hitting Ye Ming with a hammer on the plane and begging for mercy.
At this time, Ye Ming said happily: "You are a bit duplicitous. I don't know who was so happy yesterday?"
Just after getting off the plane, Wang Xiaoshu called him and said that he was introduced by a friend and that he had business to come to him and hoped that he could come and talk.
Ye Ming looked at the time and said: "We have already booked a media interview for today. We had made such a plan long ago. They even sent reporters to follow him to Berlin. The only interview at this time
The request is to give me an opportunity for an exclusive interview when you come back. For such a thing, you still have to give me face.
Giving help in times of need is always something that is easy to remember.”
Wang Xiaoshu said: "That's no problem. The interview doesn't necessarily take too much time. Just have a meal together in the evening and talk about cooperation. And if you want to say it, I guarantee that this time it will be a big sponsor."
Not short of money.
So, if this cooperation is successful, there should be a lot of income.
Thinking that there was nothing particularly important in the evening, Ye Ming nodded and agreed.
These magazines are also very sincere and send people directly to the airport to greet them.
The interview is of course centered around Ye Ming's experience of transforming from a child star to a movie star, and some of the setbacks he suffered during the process are the focus of the description. After all, it is impossible to promote the movie Black Frame, so I will focus on the description.
Some memories about the Berlin actor.
Before Ye Ming won the Best Actor, the bitter and painful past he experienced will only become a very good selling point. Everyone likes to discover the bitter past of this kind of celebrity before he succeeded. This way, it can make this celebrity down-to-earth.
.
It turns out that this big star rented a house like us before he became famous. He couldn't afford the rent, so when he ate lunch boxes, he found some of the worst lunch boxes that cost 5 yuan.
Moreover, when he couldn't pay the rent, the landlord blocked him at the door and scolded him for half an hour. Ye Mingna had also experienced this kind of thing.
Of course, that was in the early days. Later, Ye Ming slowly started to have some money and started investing in real estate and so on. In the end, he became an invisible rich man in the entertainment industry.
In fact, Ye Ming will not say this kind of thing directly, at least not now. Instead, he will just talk about some of his sad past events for everyone to take a look. In fact, as an actor, before he became famous, he would not say it.
Indeed, we suffered a lot.
This can also arouse some sympathy. If you directly say that you are in North Korea at this time, how many houses there are in North Korean cities, it will be like Versailles, and it will make everyone feel alienated from their fans.
All in all, this interview was a great time for both host and guest.
Before going to the banquet in the evening, Ye Ming looked at the information sent by Wang Xiaoshu. Did he know that the other party was a real estate tycoon?
He is quite wealthy. Apart from coal bosses, the richest people these days are probably real estate bosses.
Think about it, if this matter is negotiated, it will indeed be a relatively profitable project.
At this time, Ye Mingcai got in the car and said: "Sister, let me tell you something, that is, if you have money, buy a house as soon as possible. Here in Jincheng, you also have to buy a house. You must consider that you have a
What a safe nest.
The earlier you buy a house these days, the more appropriate it will be.”
Zhao Yazhi said helplessly: "Boss, how would you be the boss if you weren't? If I had money to buy a house, would I still work here?
I have been working as a renter for a long time. On the contrary, why do you still work in the entertainment industry when you have so many houses?
Also, why do you want to buy so many houses? Some people don’t understand.
Ye Ming said nonchalantly, "In fact, it was nothing. We just happened to have money at the time, and if you think about it, I can't always stay in hotels when filming, so I made a little money while filming."
As for money, after I became famous, of course I also made some money. I also made a lot from endorsements, catwalk shows, remuneration from film and television dramas, etc.
Although I have indeed endured hardships before and suffered a lot of setbacks before I became famous, no matter what, I became the number one child star in the country after I became famous. At that time, I basically had 3 to 5 stars every month.
The script came and asked me to participate. At this time, I began to think about how to invest my money better.
I think about buying a house, because in this case, if I buy a house in some of the more important big cities in China, then when I go to those places in the future, even if I stay for two or three nights, I won’t be able to live with anyone else.
Home, I just mean that living in your own home is also very nice.
This can be considered a long-term investment, so I will definitely leave a studio for myself in each of the four first-tier cities. Basically, I entrust this studio to a property company and clean it twice a week. Then what?
, I will press some monitoring.
It is basically impossible for others to come in without my knowledge. These are high-tech door locks, and the room is also monitored, so if anyone dares to break in silently, I will
I definitely know, and I definitely won’t agree.
As for my studio, of course I live in it myself. I will entrust some relevant professional leasing companies to rent out other houses. In this case, I will just wait to collect the rent.
Taking advantage of the fact that the policy is not so strict now, we should get the house as soon as possible. It does not require that it is available in the four first-tier cities. However, it is still necessary to give proper consideration to things like the capital quota.
Of course, you have to do it step by step, otherwise it will be easy to get stuck if the steps are too big. Of course, you don’t have this function. Anyway, you just need to understand it in your heart. As for buying a house, it will be done for at least the next ten years or even longer.
For a period of time, it is not a loss-making business.
Anyway, you can buy it if you have money. If you don’t have much money, you can pay for it in installments, right? You can get a loan as a mortgage. In short, at least now is the right time to buy a house. Of course, you have to look in the past, when I first bought it.
The cost of a courtyard house is a little over 200,000, so it’s definitely impossible to buy it now, right?
How much was the house price at that time? More than 3,000 was the highest, and 4,000 was considered good or bad. So, you don’t need to talk about the price at that time, but its price will definitely rise steadily in the future.
, if you buy it at this time, you will definitely make a profit without losing money. It is considered a relatively stable investment method.
You don’t need to worry about this kind of investment. If you want to rent a house, rent it yourself. If you don’t want to rent, just entrust an agent to rent the house directly, and then wait to collect the rent yourself.”
This is good advice, and the houses in the capital or the houses of the four superstars will soon have purchase restrictions. If it were not for the special relationship with these two times, Ye Ming would not say this kind of words sincerely. He loves to buy.
What does it have to do with me if I don’t buy it or not?
But Ye Ming can't do that kind of thing like lifting up his pants and not recognizing people, so he must take proper care of Deng Yazhi. As long as you know that at this time, it still means that you have no money. If you have money, let's talk about it, but now it is really
I have no money, so it is impossible to buy a house.
