For a while, the guests and hosts at the dinner table were enjoying themselves. Wang Yue brought a few friends here with the intention of getting acquainted with Su Butong. Jiang Wenyuan and Xiao Qing knew that this was the financial sponsor of their next drama, so everyone at the dinner table frequently raised glasses and drank two bottles of Su Butong.

The red wine bottomed out quickly, and Maotai was opened again. Wang Yue ordered Erguotou for himself and continued.

Subudong had a decent capacity for drinking, and he would not refuse anyone who came to him. Besides, when Chinese people do things, they can sometimes get them done over the wine table.

When Jiang Wenyuan came to propose a toast to Su Butong, Su Butong raised his glass and said, "I have seen the scenes between you and Xiaoqing. You are very serious actors, so this play depends on you."

Jiang Wenyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Su said that the pressure on the two of us is a bit high."

Su Butong didn't care. Jiang Wenyuan was not only his favorite actor, but also his favorite director. However, he couldn't be allowed to direct the movie now, firstly because the script was not suitable, and secondly because Jiang Wenyuan was just a

A young man in his twenties does not have enough experience.

The atmosphere in the wine shop was quite lively, and everyone focused on the movie.

"Nowadays, Chinese films are not recognized by other countries. What do you think is our reason?" Wang Yue suddenly raised such a point of view.

"The current film system in China is still decentralized. Which film studio should make what kind of films needs to be decided by the leadership, rather than based on market demand and the format that the people like to see. I feel that the degree of commercialization is not high enough now.

, the films produced cannot be sold, and they are all supported by the state. The films produced in this way may have artistic quality, but can the appreciation level of ordinary audiences reach it? I don’t think so.” One of Wang Yue’s buddies is named Ye Jing.

said.

Xiaoqing said: "The plays we actors perform every year are almost all tasks in the factory. We rely on fate to receive the scripts and plays we like. I don't have the freedom to accept the plays by myself, and I feel a little uncomfortable when creating the characters. And I have to eat.

Dead wages. You may be a star, but after leaving the mainland, basically no one abroad knows you, and you are not even as famous as some third-rate movie stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan. You are basically not well-known."

Several people had drank, so they didn't have as many scruples as usual when talking.

Su Butong said: "It is true that our current film production system cannot be compared with foreign countries, but similarly, you also enjoy the stability that foreign actors do not have. Life is not just about stability, there must be something else.

Pursuit. Just like this time I invested in a movie, which is actually a taboo, because there has never been such a privately funded movie in China. All the film studios you are affiliated with have taken responsibility, with Wang Yue and Feng Lei behind.

I don’t know how much effort I put into it, but I know it must have been a lot of effort to bring together so many top-notch domestic actors. When I made this movie, I was aiming to win foreign awards and compete for Oscars.

Maybe, let foreigners see how our Chinese filmmakers can make a movie that is not inferior to them."

"Okay, for making a movie that foreigners can afford, cheers." Wang Yue raised his glass and said.

"Do it!" After listening to Su Butong's words, the people sitting on the seats were also a little excited. They also had the Chinese people's unwillingness to admit defeat in their blood, and they also wanted to earn international honors for China. This was the best of the 1980s.

and the innocent side.

"Brother Wang, after the filming of this movie is finished, do you have any plans in the future?" Su Butong asked.

"What's the plan?" Wang Yue was stunned after hearing this.

"I thought, since this is the first time in China that there is no film studio responsibility system, how about we set up a film company, I will fund it and you will be responsible for it, how about it?" Su Butong said.

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and said with great interest, "Tell me about it."

"In this way, I invest 5 million as registered capital to set up a film and television company. Every year, I select several scripts with investment prospects for filming. 10% of the profits will be given to me. If I can return 5 million with the capital after five years, this company will

It's yours, how about it?" Although Su Butong was slightly drunk, his mind was not confused.

Wang Yue and Lu Tian are different. One is a talented rogue writer, and the other is a yameni. What a yamen can do well, a talented writer may not be able to do well. So Su Butong just used 5 million yuan to test the waters and see what Wang Yue has.

He doesn't have the ability to be a good leader. He just provides a platform.

Su Butong's greater ambition is to build a film and television city that will be similar to Hengdian in future generations, and then collect rents. Think about it, land in the capital can now be acquired for a few million, and manpower and material resources are very cheap. An investment of 100 million

It can achieve the effect of billions in the future. So you can make a big difference with a small amount. Even if the rent is very cheap now, it will rise in the future if it cannot be sustained. And after time, some buildings will become more historical and

A sense of vicissitudes of life. But there was no need for him to tell Wang Yue about this matter, because it was his idea and it needed to be done step by step. First, there must be a film and television company.

Knowing Su Butong's idea, Jiang Wenyuan and Xiaoqing were also a little moved, but they were actors within the system now, so it was hard to say anything. Five million was a big investment for them, and the financial backer in front of them was a wealthy person.

The important thing is that you are very young, and holding on to this thigh seems to be of great help to your career.

Wang Yue was very happy after hearing Su Butong's idea, but the first thing he thought about was whether he could run the company well, so he smiled slightly and said, "I'll go back and think about it, and then give you an answer."

Su Butong smiled and said: "Okay, in fact, Jiang Wenyuan and Xiaoqing can also invest, but you don't need to pay, just your people. For example, your salary for a movie is one million, but because of your

The remuneration accounts for a too high proportion of the film's budget, so I only give you 500,000, but you can participate in 3%-5% of the box office dividend after the film is released. Do you want to consider this model?"

When Jiang Wenyuan heard the price, his mouth trembled: "One... one million?"

Su Butong said with a smile: "I am just giving an example. The salary in China is not so high now - but it will be hard to say in the future."

Jiang Wenyuan stammered: "That... that's very high. For this goal, I am willing to work hard." He has not yet filmed "Furong Town" and "Red Sorghum", so his popularity in the country is not very high.

.But I can’t stand it. Everyone has a positive heart.

Xiaoqing was a little cautious. She asked: "I am not free now. I am going to make a movie on my own... I can't explain it to the organization."

Lu Tian said: "Sister, you are stupid. How much money do you earn in that movie studio? If you just go out and make a movie, it will be more than what you earn in the movie studio."

Xiaoqing wanted to say something else, but her lips moved but she didn't speak. She was a little moved, but she was thinking about something more long-term, so she smiled and said, "Then I have to think about it too."

Su Butong said: "Okay, then I'll wait until you believe it."

After finishing the meal, everyone had a longing for the future. Now that they are young, they don't know what kind of future they will create, but they were infected by Su Butong and felt that there was something in Su Butong that said no.

Unexplained things attract them, and they are willing to work hard for a future.

Su Butong sent a few people to the door, then called Zhan Long's driver and sent them back one by one. Then he returned to Zhan Long and made an overseas phone call to Zhang Yang and told Zhang Yang to come back and arrange the personnel.
