Chapter 226 The young literary generation cannot afford to be hurt
When I heard that the person in front of me was the coal boss, there was no problem. The world finally returned to normal.
Li Yuan is not short of money now, and he can only appreciate his kindness to Du Rusong, the coal boss.
After all, the cold winter is coming, so there is no need to push others into the fire pit. It is not enough to make a movie, so why bother to make this person bleeding and cry?
"Sorry, Boss Du, we don't lack funds here. And the only thing we can give you is the domestic box office share. But do you know the current domestic movie distribution policy? That is to spend money in vain." Li Yuan declined happily and kindly advised him.
"I don't want money? I just invested in you." Unexpectedly, Du Rusong looked puzzled.
"Invest in us? If you invest, don't want a return?" Li Yuan was stunned and couldn't figure out the brain circuit of the coal boss for a while.
"I said to you little brother, it's such a sacred thing to make movies. How could I have such dirty thoughts? It's just to make free dedication to support your artistic creation!"
(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)Hit
Li Yuan recalled the reputation of the coal boss in his previous life, but... it is possible. If you have too much money, there is no place to burn it. Isn’t it just that you stuff a mistress and a third-child into the crew?
"So do you have any other requirements?"
"No? Any other requirements? I paid the money, you must arrange for me to join the crew. Don't worry, I will never disturb the creation of you artists. I will provide you with logistical services. I am diligent, I have been a hard-working person since I was a child, and I can do errands and chores! Hehehe..."
(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)
Damn! How could there be such a person in this world... a sandy man?
Not only did he give money for free, but he also didn't even put a mistress in his pocket? He actually stuffed himself into the crew? Even with this big and thick look, it would be better to put a mistress in his pocket. Cough cough.
Not to mention anything else, at least at this time, Li Yuan was already very interested in Du Rusong, the coal boss.
"Brother Du, wait first. I don't understand what you mean. You spend money and work hard just to support others in making movies? What are you trying to do?"
"I'm not to hide it from my childhood. When I was a child, I thought I could make movies one day. I don't have a high level of education, but I especially admire artists who make movies..."
"I understand, Brother Du. But if you want to support the art of film, you should look for formal official channels, right?"
"Who said no? They looked down on me so much. They were even driven out to come to the door." Du Rusong felt extremely aggrieved. "Later, I kept wandering outside the Beijing Film Academy gate, hoping to find someone who could speak for me. Unexpectedly, those grandchildren cheated me of 80,000 yuan last time! Forget it, it's just a few more tons of coal. But they are not students of Beijing Film Academy at all, and they are not children of the film company leaders' families? So I became more cautious and must find those who really make movies!"
Li Yuan: “…”
Unexpectedly, this Li Rusong is still a lie-in-law brother? He had been deceived once before. He was still infatuated and obsessed with it, and was ready to jump into the same pit again?
After Du Rusong's over and over again, Li Yuan finally understood one thing - this coal boss is indeed willing to invest free of charge, there are indeed no other conditions, and he does not ask for any return.
In the 1980s and early 1990s, coal bosses who were willing to invest in movies were not the same type of people as the later coal bosses.
Because this is a true literary youth era, all the literary youths are no exception, even coal bosses. They believe that the art of film is still very sacred. That is a spiritual pursuit.
Maslow's five-level theory of human needs, which should be known.
These coal bosses have completely separated from the lowest level of physiological needs and have begun to pursue high-level needs.
For example: security needs and money comes too easily, which makes them panic. Then investing in art is like doing charity, which is considered a kind of giving back to society; social needs and mixed into the cultural circle are a shortcut to entering the upper class; respect and self-realization, men will die in a sexy year! Which boy has no dream of becoming a director and an actor? Even if he can't be a director or an actor, it is very good to be able to invest in movies. Especially in this literary and youth era...
Let me give you an explanation of the subsequent developments.
Due to the later reform of the domestic film system, film companies became film bureaus, major film factories merged and reorganized into several major film groups, and cinemas in various places even formed their own theaters.
In addition, the review system was strengthened, especially the license system, which is the legendary Dragon Biao. Many angry young people who could not get the Dragon Biao started to play underground movies? This is the origin of the sixth generation director.
However, such rebellious behavior was immediately severely hit. Didn’t Jiang Wen have been on a five-year holiday?
And such a severe crackdown will definitely lead to a large number of insults. So the earliest group of coal bosses were scared - mb! What we want is safety, socialization, respect, what underground movies are you angry young people going to make? Isn’t that slapping flies on the tiger’s head, and living impatiently?
Don't play anymore! We won't play anymore!
The movie has a deep routine, we want to go back to the mine!
In the end, the first generation of coal bosses retreated in full swing.
But a few years later, the second generation of coal bosses made a comeback. This time they learned their lessons. Don’t talk to us about art. What we want is affordability. Although we don’t ask for any reward, we need to help labor and capital make a few mistresses famous...
In the future, there will be almost a stereotype about coal bosses in society, and it is easy to confuse these two generations of coal bosses.
In fact, they are completely different. One is a coal boss who pursues literary youth, commonly known as Daya coal boss; the other is a coal boss who pursues mistress, commonly known as Dayu coal boss.

Of course, more than ten years later, they entered the era of house owners. The reason why they invested in the film and television industry was mainly for the construction of theaters.
Finally, we entered the era of IT bosses. Although we are all technical otakus, real men want everything!
After understanding these, you should understand that Du Rusong is the first-generation Wenqing Coal boss.
This also opened Li Yuan's eyes. How could such creatures still exist these days?
...
At Du Rusong's kind invitation, several people found a tavern.
"Brother, how much do you need? Is 100,000 yuan enough? After buying the approval documents, you should be able to start shooting, right?" Li Rusong couldn't wait to ask before the dishes were served.
Here we need to explain:
The price level in recent years is very fascinating. You must not read a few articles of the era and just copy it and make it easier. Just say one thing! The monthly income of university teachers in Beijing is more than 600 yuan, and Yan Qing and their more than 300 yuan is already very satisfied. That's Beijing!
But there are great changes every year, and even changes every month. Just wait a few years later, it will generally rise to more than 1,000.
So the 100,000 yuan here is equivalent to 300,000 yuan in the mid-to-late 1990s. A few years later, did Chief Jia use 200,000 yuan?
Therefore, that 100,000 yuan is barely enough. It is to shoot a film of "Xiao Wu".
There is also a "buy approval document". It was introduced before that the current filming of movies is: review by superiors, funding from superiors, and box office revenue from superiors.
However, in actual operations, major film factories are also allowed to raise funds by themselves. Therefore, film factories have a lot of batch numbers, but they do not have that much project funds.
So in the end, some kind of resource complementarity appeared. If a private person wants to make a movie, he would go to the film factory to buy approval documents. This is like publishing books, and individual booksellers would go to the publishing house to buy batch numbers.
Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Brother Du, don't worry first. You can learn about our situation first..."
After briefly introducing the company's situation, Li Yuan said: "Brother Du, according to your requirements, you should be more suitable for an art film that will be co-produced. We are going to send it to the Cannes Film Festival next year to participate in the exhibition."
"Cannes Film Festival?"
"It's one of the three major film festivals in Europe. Do you know about Lao Mouzi's "Red Sorghum"? It's the Berlin Film Festival. There is also a Venetian Film Festival."
"This is good! That's it!" Du Rusong wiped his face and he immediately became excited.
"The specific plan for this project is not around. If you are interested, you can go to our office in a few days. I'll give you a brief introduction here. First, invest 3 million..."
“3 million?”
"It's not that you can give it all. I just said that our metaverse is not short of funds, you still have to do what you can. We can give you a co-producer and a nominee producer. If you want to join the crew, you can just let it go, and you can also give it to us..."
Although Li Yuan is not short of money now, as an IT person, how can he not burn money if he has the opportunity? Of course, it is to burn others and illuminate himself! Since there is such a sucker, he will never let it go.
"3 million? Then... can I pay 300,000?" Du Rusong asked hesitantly. The coal bosses nowadays don't have that much money, and they are basically entrepreneurial generations and have not yet learned to waste money with bigots.
"It's okay to have a little less. You can get such a discount if you have more than 100,000 yuan. Each of our movies has a maximum of two such co-producers." Li Yuan smiled. The action should be gentler, and you should not scare such a sucker away directly.
"Also, a large project worth 3 million will definitely not be able to recover investments in China. You must be mentally prepared. Moreover, all income from overseas has nothing to do with you. Even if you take out well abroad, don't be jealous."
"Hi!" Du Rusong was happy, "Brother, who do you think of me? I promised not to ask for a reward, and I will definitely not ask you for a penny!"
"It's not entirely because of this. If we can recover the cost, we will still give you your investment. If we really make a lot of money, although this is not very likely, I will only talk about the possibility. Then we will give you a part of the interest and symbolic dividends. Although the money is not much, is it our wish?"
Du Rusong laughed: "Just have you, I will pay 200,000 yuan! When do you need it?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be busy paying money first. There is another thing. If you want to go to Cannes, our company will only help with the procedures, and you can bear the cost yourself?"
"Cannes? By the way, Xiao Li, where is that place?"
"France! France is a city near the Mediterranean Sea. It has beautiful scenery."
"Ah? Is there a chance to go to France? Or do you do things beautifully. Like other things, when you meet, you talk about art. I don't understand it at all? I don't know what they said is true or false? It's not like you at all."
"That's what they said?"
"Hi! It's the kind of thing that art pursues. We only let us invest money, but we don't care about anything. Actually, I don't care about that little money, nor do I do anything to an outsider to take care of an insider, but at least I can let me see the effect? It's better for you here. Just do whatever you want."
"Brother Du, if it doesn't affect the crew's shooting, you will be free to come and go."
"I understand this! Come on, the dishes are served, I'll do it first! Give you a cup!"
"……"hammer
...
After returning home and thinking, Li Yuan was surprised to find that he was actually quite conscientious.
Li Rusong and other coal bosses are actually quite hard-working. Facing those literary youths, it seems that their efforts are worthy. If you talk to him about rewards, he will talk to you about your ideals?
At least, Li Yuan still has the possibility of recovering his costs here. He can indeed take Du Rusong to participate in the International Film Festival.
Sure enough, the literary youth cannot afford to be hurt!
As for the future? If Du Rusong is smart enough, he can learn the entire process and understand all the tricks. If he wants to make a movie by himself in the future, he can do whatever he wants. If he can even open a film company by himself.
However, not long after I got home, Zhang Xi came over anxiously: "Yuanzi, why didn't you say it earlier? You can still work together to produce the film. Add me one? Isn't it only 200,000?"
Li Yuan sipped out blood: "You fucked you didn't burn Hutu today, right?"
It is precisely because Zhang Xi is a fellow villager and friend from the same village that he doesn’t want him to jump into the fire pit. But I never expected that if the suckers are still able to bring wholesales these days?
"What is Shaohutu? Are there two quotas? The other quota belongs to me!" Zhang Xi was unmoved.
Li Yuan knew that these people who followed him actually made a lot of money.
The most important thing should be Qian Yong. Didn’t he have 10% of the ys (Africa) stocks? So, throughout the year last year, Qian Yong’s income should be more than one million.
Zhang Xi and Lucina are not bad either. They should have made hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition, there is another business in the Magic City, so there will definitely be a lot of extra money.
Another is the 5% commission from Yequan Cinema. Haven't you seen that Gu Guohui has been hiding in the corner and drawing circles these few days? He doesn't regret it. These two people have an average point, and each person can get hundreds of thousands.
Although money is easy to come, Zhang Xi cannot spend it randomly even if it has withered sand?
