Chapter 158 Culture is the most valuable
Oh, Qibu, have you made a movie?" Zhou Qi said curiously. And this can only be said by Zhou Qi. After all, as a yamen, if such a thing is replaced by others, it will inevitably be ironic.
"I've filmed it. I don't mention that I have two film companies. I just talk about the movie "Secret" I starred in, which also broke the box office record of China." Wang Qibu didn't think that there was anything wrong with Yanei's exposure to literature and art. What's more, he had an arrogant excuse to hide his identity in front of his elders. Therefore, Wang Qibu's situation is indeed very buggy. Ordinary people will envy his star journey and envy his favor, while extraordinary people will sigh at the difficulty of this child.
"You are Ye Zhiqiu!" This time, Nana was screaming. After Wang Qibu said "secret", she immediately linked the handsome young man in front of her with Ye Zhiqiu, who is both talented and beautiful in the movie. You must know that the 1990s was the last era of literary youth. So after such a thing broke out, Wang Qibu collected all the elements of the prince charming in the eyes of all the girls present.
"Haha, it is said that the person who made the movie was called out by the audience's names of the characters in the play, which should be a very happy thing." Wang Qibu admitted this.
"I didn't expect that Qibu is so cute and versatile. However, Qibu, I'm planning to invest in a film company recently. You have taken a step in this field. Can you give me some advice? Of course, I'm willing to pay some information." Cao Yan, the only pure Yanei, said. In fact, he spoke like this out of the host's politeness, and the other side was that he really wanted to ask Wang Qibu. After all, Cao Dayanei is not just a talk about opening a film company. Even in order to have a stable public relations team in the future, Cao Yan must do such a thing. And the girls present at this time also became serious about it, after all, this was really related to their affairs.
"Why don't friends ask for consultation fees and other things? You have to wait until you make money before you talk about it?" Wang Qibu joked, which indeed caused laughter from everyone, including Cao Yan. Then he continued, "In fact, in China, movies are definitely a sunrise industry. Maybe it's not that obvious now, but at most, it's a foregone conclusion that Chinese films will prosper in a few years. I discussed this with Director Du of China Film and Television and Director Xiao of Radio and Television. With the hard demand of audiences and more and more funds entering the film industry, our domestic film competitiveness is also rapidly improving. Whether it is the type of film or the thoughts of directors.
The market will become more and more commercial. Well, let’s give an example. Before, Qibu Media invested in a movie called "A Chinese Odyssey". I finally lost a little by relying on almost cheating methods. At that time, no one was optimistic about that movie. The most senior film critics in Hong Kong said that I was meaninglessly burning money. But five years later, the movie started a new round of screenings and coordinated with CD and online promotion. Qibu Media not only recovered the cost, but more importantly, it also established its position in the entire industry. Not only in China, but also won awards at the French film festival. I think this has already explained the potential of the Chinese market in one aspect."
"Wow, it turns out that you also made the American Journey. That movie is a movie in our class. Our class teacher said that the one who can make such a movie must be a god." Nana said, her eyes were no longer as simple as worship.
"Okay, haha, then I'll ask you to thank that teacher for helping me in class next time." Wang Qibu responded, and then continued, "If you talk about making money, I have just mentioned "secret", it is the most profitable movie in China at present. Although the movie was limited by the current market size and the last seven-step media only made more than 100 million, not much, but I think its significance is actually to tell everyone that commercial films will be accepted by Chinese audiences."
Wang Qibu's plain tone had moved everyone, including Cao Yan. Others may not understand, but the saying "Only earning more than 100 million yuan, not too much is not much" really stimulated everyone's eardrums. First of all, there is a concept that must be corrected here. Not all yamen have rich people. At least in the 1990s, and those yamen who work are not necessarily much more abundant than children from ordinary families. You must know that in a red family, parents generally acquiesce to a child who chooses to do business. China has no political donations, so this is also a hidden rule in Chinese political life. Just like a pure yamen like Cao Yan, in fact, there is such a mission in the entire family. But then again, even a big businessman like Cao Yan, dare not think that more than 100 million is a small amount of money in the late 1990s. You should know that it is still an era where one can be called a rich man with a million!
As for Zhou Qi's situation, he was actually close to Wang Qibu. The boss of a huge black-social group played astronomical assets and was engaged in the two most profitable businesses in the world (toxic products, arms), so at this time he was the only one who could remain calm and showed a helpless smile.
It seems that Wang Qibu also noticed this and said, "Everyone, this little money is really small. This has a lot to do with our country not paying attention to intellectual property rights and cultural protection at this stage. I also have a film company in the United States, and a movie with a magical theme is being filmed recently. Brother Bao Cen, do you know how much copyright I paid to the author of the novel's script?"
"How many?" Cao Yan asked subconsciously.
"One hundred million." Wang Qibu said, giving a finger and then adding "USD!"
So it was no longer possible for everyone to maintain basic calmness and they all sighed.
"And this movie has been overdue the budget again and again. I think the final shooting cost more than 300 million US dollars even if it is conservative. But even so, I still dare to say that this movie can make a lot of money." Wang Qibu determined to use a "big money" to challenge everyone here again. More than 100 million is small, and the investment of a movie exceeds more than 3 billion (the exchange rate of that year). Even if you only say that you will make a lot of money, then how much do you want to make? Are you 10 billion?
"Ahem, it seems that culture is really valuable!" Cao Yan, who would not think that Wang Qibu was talking big here, sighed.
"In fact, culture is the most valuable." Wang Qibu corrected.
