Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 151 Heroine

"Of course, you've worked the hardest!" Huang Lan rolled her eyes and grinned, "Brother is the best."

"Wow, brother, your signature is so beautiful!" Huang Lan set her eyes on the tape, opened her mouth and flattered him, "It's indescribably elegant and free, as graceful as a swimming dragon, as elegant as a startled swan, just like you, brother."

"Stop talking!"

"Besides, I should be proud."

Huang Ze, however, felt that this was really nothing. These characters were specially designed by someone, and he practiced writing them until his hands were almost cramping. How could they be bad if he just practiced these few characters?

"Come on, stop flattering me and go read a book!"

"If you fail to get into Mizuki Kyoto University, don't blame me for never signing for you again."

"Wow, brother, you really have high standards." Huang Lan put away the tape weakly, "I thought you wanted me to study at Harvard, MIT, Princeton, etc."

"Do you miss these?" Huang Ze looked at Huang Lan very seriously.

If she really misses him, it's not impossible.

Let Huang Lan study English well now. When he is about to take the college entrance examination, which will be four years later, his assets by then will definitely not be comparable to what they are now.

If you want to study in any school, just donate a large sum of money. American schools will not go against the US dollar.

Besides, I have my sister behind me, and I can be considered as a network resource for that school. This way, I can kill two birds with one stone. Why should I refuse?

"Brother, why are you asking so seriously?" Huang Lan's eyebrows trembled. "If I want to study, can you really let me study?"

"It is indeed difficult to get into domestic schools as your scores are not high enough, but you can still try for foreign schools. You have an 80% chance of getting in." Huang Ze did not say anything certain.

"Hehe, that's just what I said." Huang Lan shuddered, "Brother, compared to going to a famous school, I still want to stay in Shanghai. I will work hard and get into Jiaotong University or Fudan University."

These two schools are not much worse than those others.

Besides, my eldest brother is mainly in Hong Kong Island, while I have to travel around to film, so it would be good to let Huang Lan be closer to her parents in Shanghai.

but……

"What do you mean by just going to Jiaotong University or Fudan University?" Before Huang Ze could say anything, Huang's mother was annoyed and slammed the table, "Do you think those two universities are owned by your family? If you want to go, go ahead and study hard."

"Okay, Queen Mother!" Huang Lan said, and without waiting for Huang's mother to get angry, she immediately picked up the schoolbag containing the tapes and ran into her room.

"Deserves a beating!"

Huang Ma said something that she had always talked about but never put into practice. She put down the photo in her hand and looked at Huang Ze curiously, "You said that you would shoot a movie over there when you came back this time. How long will it take?"

“I can’t say for sure, but the preparation and filming will take at least half a year.” After all, he was planning to shoot the first "Top Gun" and the second "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" together, and they were kung fu movies that he had no experience in. To be honest, Huang Ze had no idea whether he could finish filming in half a year.

"Then I can live here for a while longer!"

"Yes." Huang Ze nodded, and couldn't help laughing when he looked at his father's face. "Dad, is the studio willing to cooperate with my film?"

“Or an investment?”

"Then I think the company may not be able to afford the investment." Huang Ze smiled, "The combined cost of the two films is over 10 million. How much can the company invest?"

"Forget it then." Huangshi shook his head.

There is no other way, the factory can only do small-scale operations.

If it is not a task assigned by the higher authorities and the investment is too large, one will have to face a very realistic problem: what to do if there is a loss?
This is your own son's project. If it loses money, accusing you of causing the loss of state-owned assets is considered light. But accusing you of embezzling public resources for personal gain and transferring assets to your son's company would be fatal.

His life is pretty good now, he doesn't want to do this deadly business.

Even if other people in the factory agreed to such an investment, he would never get his son to agree!
I can’t stand it!

It’s only been a few years? Only about ten years, it’s hard to know if it will make a comeback!
"The factory doesn't need to invest. They just put their name on the film, provide the people, and find any help we need, such as actors. The factory will find a way to find them. When the film is finished, the mainland screening rights and domestic videotape distribution rights will belong to the factory."

When making films in China, with the assistance of Shanghai Film Studio, many things can be made less troublesome.

Since I can’t earn any money from these two items anyway, I might as well give them to my father and regard them as something he negotiated for.

It can not only add luster to him, but also allow "Once Upon a Time in China" to be screened better. Otherwise, the films made by Hong Kong companies will be considered imported films.

Whether to import or not is another matter, and how much it costs to import is another matter altogether.

However, Huang Ze had some tricks up his sleeve and only stipulated that these two rights belonged to the Shanghai Film Studio, instead of all domestic rights and interests belonging to the other party.

You can’t make money from videotapes and releases, but maybe you can make money from online copyrights and discs in the future!

"Once Upon a Time in China" is a classic of its time. Movie fans will have to become VIPs or VVIPs to watch it.

quack quack...

Huang Ze suddenly felt that his reputation might be ruined in the future.

"Is that so!" Huangshi smacked his lips and quickly figured out the connection.

It’s a win-win!
Huang Ze exchanged the money that he would not have earned for the cooperation of Shanghai Film Studio.

Shanghai Film Studio only had to provide people and connections to produce two films.

As long as China Film Corporation gets the ball rolling, both parties will be happy.

"Okay, Director Xu and I will organize a meeting tomorrow to discuss it. It should be fine."

"Then wait for good news!" Huang Ze bowed.

"Who did you learn this trick from?" Huang Shi also bowed.

"Li Lianjie!"

"I'll go see Monk Jueyuan when we're filming."

"You are the factory representative, the father of the capital, so you can watch it if you want."

"Okay, go to bed!"

……

Whether Shanghai Film Studio agrees or not will not affect the progress of Huang Ze's project.

After discussing with the crew members, Huang Ze came to the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

I found out that the last time "Taste of Cherry" was screened at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, I was invited to be the director of the lecture.

"Director Huang wants this time?"

"Choose a heroine for my new play."

"No problem!" The director was very happy. "Director Huang is from Shanghai. Come to our theater more often to select roles. We guarantee that we can have all kinds of actors."

"I will definitely bother your school in the future!" Huang Ze said, "I will be shooting two films at Yangcheng Street this time, and I need a lot of small supporting roles."

"Just contact me when the time comes." The director patted his chest loudly, "Students rarely have opportunities to practice, so they must seize this opportunity."

"By the way, what are Director Huang's requirements for the leading actress?"

"Pretty!" Huang Ze said, "The kind of pretty that makes you feel stunned at first sight. It's better if she's a little lively and smart. The acting skills required are not high."

"That's easy. You can choose from all the acting students. Just let me know who you've chosen."
