Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In May, Zhang Yimou took "Alive" to the Cannes Film Festival.

Once the film was shown, it shocked everyone and caused an uproar.

The plot of the story is bolder than "Farewell My Concubine".

And its display of human nature and thinking about life made the judges think deeply.

Therefore, the Cannes Film Festival unanimously agreed to award the jury award to "To Live" and the best actor award to Ge You~

Gong Li returned empty-handed again, making her lose her temper with Xiang Nanda.

"Didn't you say that you want to help me win the best actress of the three major European film festivals, but now you are helping Ge You win the best actress? Where is my best actress?" She grabbed Xiang Nan angrily and asked.

"Don't worry, I'm saving impression points for you. Think about it, you were shortlisted for Best Actress three times and failed three times, and the judges have sympathy for you. Next time you will compete for your film, Then the chances of winning the prize are high." Xiang Nan explained, "This is the safest way."

"Really, don't lie to me?" Gong Li asked hesitantly.

"Look at what you said, when have I ever lied to you?" Xiang Nan laughed.

"You don't lie to me anymore." Gong Li rolled his eyes at him and said coquettishly.

"We each get what we need." Xiang Nan corrected, "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

...

Later, Xiang Nan found Zhang Yimou again.

"Director Zhang, now the country wants to reform the film system and open up private capital to enter the film and television industry. I think this is an opportunity for us." He said to Zhang Yimou.

In January 1993, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued "Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Film Industry Mechanism", calling for the reform of the film industry and canceling the unified purchase and sales in the form of planned economy.

Now, the state-owned film studio has no iron rice bowl, and they can only rely on themselves if they want to make money in the future. And the cinema no longer sells the films of the state-owned film factory, which leaves a certain period of time.

This provides an opportunity for private capital to enter the film and television industry.

In fact, before this, private capital has already entered the film and television industry.

For example, Chen Peisi's "Two Sons Series" was filmed with his own funds. However, it is still affiliated with Beiying, and Beiying is responsible for the unified purchase and marketing, so it is still subject to relatively large restrictions.

But now that the unified purchase and marketing is cancelled, copies can be bought and sold freely, which is undoubtedly more friendly to private capital and can make more money.

"Professor Cheng, are you planning to set up a company to do it alone?" Zhang Yimou was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"I do have this idea. I have the funds, the script, the connections, the sales channels, and the sufficient conditions to set up my own business." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I just don't know if Director Zhang would like to come with me?"

"Me?!" Zhang Yimou was taken aback.

"That's right. Director Zhang, you are now a world-class director, but your income is still negligible. So what if your "Red Sorghum", "Raise the Red Lantern", and "Farewell My Concubine" are blockbusters? It's not just earning such a dead salary.

But if you want to come to our company, I will pay you 300,000 yuan for one play. Once sold out, you still have a commission. The income is dozens of times, hundreds of times. "Xiang Nan explained, "Besides, with my support, you don't have to worry about running out of funds for filming in the future. How about it? "

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he was also very moved.

Although he loves film art, every film is shot with great care. Unlike some of my peers, filming is just for dawdling, and the movies I make are rubbish.

But he also likes money. Money is also needed. Especially in today's commodity society, money is needed everywhere. The house needs money, the car needs money, furniture and appliances, clothing and food...everything needs money.

Although he is a world-class director, his income is very limited. In comparison, it is not as good as Gong Li earning more.

At least Gong Li earns more than 100,000 yuan for an advertisement. Going to Xiangjiang to make a movie can also earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. At a young age, he had already driven in and out of the set in a private car.

In comparison, as a director, he still sits in the crew's car. So it's impossible not to think.

Furthermore, the film funding mentioned by Xiang Nan is indeed a problem.

The state-run film studio has very limited funds for making films, and it is impossible to ask for more. This also limits his filmmaking.

For example, there is a war scene in "To Live". He originally planned to shoot a big scene to reflect the cruelty of war. But because of insufficient funds, it can only be deleted.

And if Xiang Nan provided the funds, the situation might be different, after all, Xiang Nan is really rich.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Zhang Yimou nodded.

Xiang Nan didn't urge him, and let him think. He believed that Zhang Yimou would make a decision.

...

Go into June.

The country suddenly promulgated the "Opinions on the Current Economic Situation and Strengthening Macro-control", which set sixteen policies and stepped on the brakes on real estate.

These sixteen articles include controlling currency issuance and stabilizing the financial situation; strictly controlling the scale of credit; strictly investigating illegal fund-raising; strengthening the macro-management of the real estate market; reviewing projects under construction and strictly controlling the development of new projects; promoting price reforms and strictly controlling price rises ...

There are so many policies, all of which are aimed at the current overheated real estate industry, so the real estate industry, which was originally developing in full swing, entered a cold winter overnight.

Housing prices plummeted, sales plummeted, and countless real estate companies were unable to continue construction because of a lack of funds. A large number of loans cannot be repaid and become non-performing assets. The home buyers and investors also suffered heavy losses, devastated and devastated for a while.

In comparison, Kunpeng Real Estate returned the funds early because it left early. Now not only is there no pressure to repay the loan, but there is still a lot of money to buy at the bottom.

The buildings they sold before, even with discounts, were sold at high prices. Now that housing prices have plummeted, they can get the project back at half the price.

One time and one time, it is hundreds of millions of RMB. Han Chunming and Yang Huajian were taken aback.

"Jianjun, you really hit the spot. The real estate bubble has really burst." They both said in shock.

"After all, we are a socialist country. Can we see that ordinary people can't afford houses. So I know that the state will definitely take action to curb the excessively high housing prices." Xiang Nan explained, "Sure enough, I guessed right."

"Bull!" Han Chunming and Yang Huajian said with thumbs up.

Doing business is not difficult. But at the same time of doing business, they can control the overall situation and analyze the economic trend through national policies. This is what they have failed to do.

That's why they stumbled in the first place. In fact, at that time, several newspapers began to report on the incident of traveling by car in the south, which indicated that the country was about to take action, but they didn't care at all. The result is hitting the muzzle.

The real estate bubble, newspapers have repeatedly warned. They didn't pay attention, but Xiang Nan had made up his mind a long time ago, and planned ahead of time, so he escaped unscathed, which was really incredible.

"So in the future, when doing business, you still have to see the way." Xiang Nan reminded.
