Chapter 115: Fueling the Fire (Part 2)
If it were twenty years ago, when the collection of ancient coins was not yet popular, they would go to the old goods recycling market, waste recycling station, and copper coins. At that time, the collectors of ancient coins were undoubtedly happy. They could choose one cent and one copper coins, and the chance of picking up the bargain was countless times that of now.
Qian Zhengtai is a very typical example. This old man started collecting ancient coins thirty or forty years ago. At that time, there was a huge gap in the market. As long as you pay attention to collecting it, it is not difficult to find the authentic ones.
It is no exaggeration to say that the copper coins collected by Qian Zhengtai in his early years have now become a very considerable asset. If he personally wants to, he will take all the copper coins and their value will definitely exceed 100 million.
However, that beautiful era of collection has long passed. The current ancient coin market is not only rare, but also full of fakes. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a bargain.
Because of this, such scenes often occur in the ancient coin market. Often, ancient coin collectors will drive over in a car, not picking or choosing, and packing it up and taking it away.
This approach is already considered a gambling. Whether or not there will be high-quality products in the gambling process is also very risky. However, even so, there are often snatching things.
However, few people in Panjiayuan do this, because most street stall owners in Panjiayuan will screen them first, and with other Taobao agents, how many fine products can they be left? Therefore, the risk of using this method in Panjiayuan is obviously too great.
Qin Xuebing was also hesitating. It would not cost much to buy these copper coins, but he came to Panjiayuan to enjoy the fun of picking up bargains. He didn't want to take a look at this pile of copper coins.
Qin Xuebing squatted down and grabbed a handful of copper coins. Most of them were coins from the Five Emperors, Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing periods. So he shook his head and said, "Boss, how long have you taken out this copper coins?"
"Brother, let me tell you the truth. My copper coins are not prepared for those who have taken the bargain, but for new players." The street stall owner said with a smile.
"New Player?" Qin Xuebing couldn't understand when the collectors of ancient coins were divided into old players and new players.
"It can't be said to be a new player, it should be a new way of playing." The street stall owner said that recently, the use of ancient copper coins has become popular in the market, expanding a new market for ancient coins.
For example, the copper coins from Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing periods are stringed together, which means the five blessings; the copper coins from Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu periods are stringed together, which means the seven stars shining; the copper coins from Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu periods are stringed together, which means perfect.
Nowadays, this type of handicraft is very popular in the market. Some people will take it back and hang it in the living room, room, and car, and some people will hang it directly on their wrists to get a good intention.
"I've learned a lot, then I'll want all these. Boss, please offer a price. Let's go back and make some handicrafts to sell." Qin Xuebing had already made up his mind. Since the street stall owner had already given the name of the product, he would not offer any random price. Moreover, he also had a certain chance of picking up bargains.
"If you really want it, I'll give you a honest price of 10,000 yuan." The street stall owner raised a finger.
"Your price is still true!" Qin Xuebing sneered. The pair of copper coins were less than 2,000, most of them were only one or two yuan, and some were not even wanted, so the fool would pay 10,000 yuan.
"Brother, think about it, if these copper coins are processed into handicrafts, they can be sold at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan? If you really want it, I will reduce you by one thousand." The street stall owner calculated clearly that five copper coins and ten of them were stringed together, and buying twenty or thirty yuan would definitely not be a problem. If you make them by hand, the price would be higher.
"You can calculate it clearly, but have the cost, labor, and sales be counted? At most, three thousand." Qin Xuebing laughed. Crafts, only after they are made, can they be called crafts. Can they be sold with raw materials as crafts?
"That won't work, who can be sure if there is any good things here? At least 8,000." The street stall owner chose his surname and forgot what he had said before.
"Eight thousand, it's a bit expensive, unless you give me some money." Qin Xuebing pointed to the things on the street stall. There was indeed an old thing. He originally planned to buy the copper coins first, but now he just turned in together.
"As long as you choose!" The street stall owner didn't care. He knew his goods. They were all worthless things and were used to fool laymen.
"I'm going to want this one." Qin Xuebing paid the money, then picked up a white porcelain Pixiu from the street stall, then packed up his things and left.
Lu Zigang's white jade teapot allowed many jade merchants to see business opportunities, and another press conference added fuel to the fire, making the treasure even more prosperous.
This is a press conference in the entertainment industry. King Hua and Director Wu attended the event. Facing the reporter, King Hua showed the charm of King Hua and said with a smile: "I think you should have guessed it. Director Wu and I attended together. We must announce the shooting of a new film, but what about the theme and content of the new film?"
King Hua Tian reached out and pulled open the banner behind. There were only three words on it, the treasure map. The reporters immediately became excited. One of them stood up and asked, "King King Hua Tian, is the treasure map the treasure map the treasure that has been causing a lot of trouble recently?"
"I can see almost everything that is unearthed in the treasure. Through movies, we will let more people know the treasure and understand the Chinese civilization."
King Hua Tian sang high-profile, completely from a cultural standpoint: "As soon as I communicated with Director Lao Wu about this, Director Lao Wu immediately expressed his willingness to be the director of the film. If you have any questions next, you can ask Director Lao Wu."
"Hello Director Wu, what motive is that made you willing to take on this video?" the reporter asked immediately.
"There are many reasons. First of all, as a filmmaker, we have the responsibility to present Chinese culture through the screen and bring Chinese culture out so that more people can understand it. Secondly, treasure hunting has always been a good theme, and this time it is a real treasure hunting theme. I want to show it through the screen and it will inevitably be popular with the audience."
Speaking of this, Director Wu paused for a moment before continuing: "Of course, from a director's perspective, what we fear most is to film poorly. Because of insufficient funds, many scenes cannot be presented according to the concept. But this time, I don't need to worry about these things, because the investor provided me with enough funds, and I can make an ideal film based on my own ideas."
"How much fund has the investor provided?" The reporter was very convinced and asked along the topic.
"Seventy-five million!" Director Wu shocked the reporters with two simple words. Seventy-five million is not seven million or seventy million, which represents the highest investment amount of domestic films.
"Yes, 700 million yuan has all the funds arrived." Director Wu said solemnly.
"Director Wu, investing 700 million yuan, it takes at least 1.5 billion yuan to recover the cost. Do you think this movie can make money?" The reporters immediately thought of another film that invested 600 million yuan, but it only received 600 million yuan in the country. The overseas distribution was not smooth and the losses were a mess.
"If I don't have confidence, I wouldn't be able to beat this video; if I don't have confidence, the investor wouldn't be able to spend so much money." Director Wu was full of confidence. This was a hot topic and had sufficient funds, so he had no reason not to be confident.
"Director Wu, what kind of movie would you make "Treasure Map" into?"
"This has to be kept secret, but I can tell you a good news. In addition to being one of the film investors, Hua Tianwang is also the starring actor."
There were not many real things in the press conference, but only three contents were announced. "Treasure Map" was about to start filming, and director Wu directed and directed Hua Tianwang, with an investment of up to 700 million yuan. But this was enough. While the treasure was arousing, such a message was enough to attract a lot of attention.
The fans of director Wu's movies went crazy, and the fan team of Hua Tianwang was also crazy. They began to repost these information online, and tens of millions of people knew about these messages within a few hours. Moreover, the timeliness of online communication were relatively long and had the characteristics of rolling communication. As time goes by, more information will be known.
And for a film that is still under preparation, it is enough to do this.
"What a good theme, it will be destroyed again!", fans who have lost confidence in domestic blockbusters began to pour cold water on the Internet, citing various domestic blockbusters, listing "Treasure Map" as an impossible film. Its greatest function is to stink the jade coffin together.
"The Revealed Domestic Blockbusters!", more fans still expect it. First of all, director Wu is indeed a master of blockbusters, and secondly, he invests generously. He integrates more than 100 million US dollars, which is completely comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. As long as the plot does not rot, it is entirely possible to create a classic blockbuster.
Of course, for a film that is still under preparation, whether it is praise or scolding, it is good to increase the exposure rate. To truly attract movie fans to the cinema, it requires post-production and excellent quality.
"Brother, is this white porcelain Pixiu really an antique?" Qin Xiaoxiao was playing with the white porcelain Pixiu, and felt that the stirrups were brighter, and it looked like they had just been burned out of a kiln.
"This white porcelain Pixiu should be produced in the Republic of China. It has a bad shape and is average in workmanship. It is a miracle that it can sell for hundreds of yuan." Qin Xuebing had some understanding of Pixiu. Judging from the shape of Pixiu, the head should be slightly to the left or slightly to the right, which is a popular collection. Such a straight head is not popular.
"Then you still buy it?" Qin Xiaoxiao was confused.
Qin Xuebing took Qin Xiaoxiao to a place where no one was around, picked up the white porcelain Pixiu and smashed it gently on the ground. The white porcelain Pixiu suddenly shattered, revealing a black thing, as dark as paint.
