Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 149: Did they really drag Da Qiangzi into the water? [Subscribe]

On March 3, Li Wenyu, along with Pang Bing, Li Jiaxin and a group of other main creators, had already checked into a large hotel in Shanghai that was contracted by the crew.

He went out early in the morning to inspect the progress of renovation and transformation of various filming locations, including the production of various props.

This new film was only released on February 2.

But everything progressed really quickly. The story started in Shanghai in 2002 and continued into 2004 in just one or two years.

The protagonist of the script, Cheng Yong, played by Li Wenyu, still has to go to jail.

Because according to current laws, this model really falls into the category of selling fake drugs.

Regardless of the progress of the Baixiang Kanjing site selection team, it is really convenient to go to Shanghai here!

He himself started eating too much and making his face fat. Of course, gaining weight is not just a matter of eating, it requires precise and deliberate control.

His fitness level is as high as 300 points. The evolution of his gastrointestinal tract brought about by his little superhero physique means that the food he absorbs will basically not be wasted.

Fat? He had to control himself to avoid absorbing it.

And with his good looks, even if he gained weight, he would still be more festive and more pleasing to the eye than someone like Shen Teng.

After a busy day, Lao Li returned to the hotel at around 3 pm. As he was walking, he heard Xiong Xiaoge's greeting from the lounge area in the first-floor lobby.

Old Li took one look and laughed, "Boss Xiong, you look really upset."

It's only March 2004? Mr. Yu from Pangdonglai has already made a lot of progress. For example, he was originally planning to enter Xinshi next year, and in just a few years, he destroyed many big-name supermarkets.

Xiong Xiaoge strode over, puffing out cigarettes. "Fuck, I'm convinced. That guy is an idealist. He wants to invest in Pang Donglai and expand his attack into other cities."

"He's not interested at all. He just wants to focus on running his supermarket."

Capital investment means that there are more shareholders, and you may go from being a boss to an employee, and no longer be able to have a decisive say.

After complaining, he said again, "I inquired about it. Walmart did market research in Xu City and just left. They ignored that place."

"If this model can be replicated, it will be very difficult to start a new brand, but if it succeeds, it will not be too difficult to beat other competitive brands."

"There will definitely be some ups and downs after going public. But the initial cash burn is worthwhile. We can use the money to provide employee benefits, and employees will benefit from it, feel like the supermarket is their home, and serve customers more deeply."

"After spending so much money over and over again, we can only know the ultimate success or failure by giving it a try. Mr. Li, do you want to invest and join us?"

He wasn't too sure if he could succeed.

The problem is, when it comes to venture capital, who can guarantee that they will always bet on the right thing?

The number of failed investments far outnumbers the number of unicorn companies that successfully survive.

Li Wenyu smiled and said, "You also know that I am still supporting Brother Hongyi to build an antivirus company, including an online video website after the Internet speed is improved in the future."

"But I can recommend a professional CEO candidate to you. Mr. Xiong, how about you owe me a favor? Whether you can bring him down or not is up to you."

Lao Li pushed this forward not only to give Lao Xiong something to do but also to stop him from harassing him every day.

I just want to see whether Pangbinglai's model can break into Beijing, Shangyang and Shenzhen, and defeat Walmart, Carrefour and others.

Himself? Just like President Yu hadn't left Xu City and didn't even dare to venture into Zheng City, housing prices in big cities were too high, and the housing issue made it difficult to create a sense of security for employees.

Then employees certainly won’t be able to truly treat the company as their own home.

Now, the biggest advantage is that the housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Yangzhou and Shenzhen were not high in 2004.

This model employs a team of its own people, ensuring that food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in place, so that everyone can regard the group as their home.

This is a large team and a large collective that exists in reality. It is much more complicated than the Internet.

There is no doubt that once Xiong Xiaoge promotes it, it will benefit a large number of ordinary employees who joined the company in the early stage, and they are all Huaxia workers.

It can also benefit residents living near the supermarket, including those who have moved to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, etc.

The Pang Donglai business is not particularly complicated. It just means the boss earns less, has fewer villas and luxury cars, and has fewer mistresses.

Give benefits to the employee team.

The staff team will try their best to reassure consumers that even if they shop with you, many things will be more expensive than those at other competitors' retailers.

But the quality is safe and there is no fear of being cheated. This tacit understanding has been developed over the years.

Many customers are naturally not afraid to spend a little more money to buy a reliable product.

Lao Li deceived Xiong Xiaoge by saying that once IDG entered the market, in the initial stage of burning money, a large number of practitioners and consumers would feel the benefits.

If we play this in 2012, the high housing prices in Beijing would make IDG tremble with fear.

The problem was not that serious in early 2004. The transaction price of commercial residential houses in Beijing was basically 4700 to 4800 yuan per square meter. The prices were higher in the second and third ring roads, and lower in the fourth and fifth ring roads.

Housing prices in cities like Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, are much cheaper, averaging 3,000 yuan per square meter, which is still very expensive for working people.

But the price was not as outrageous as it would be a dozen years later.

This only started to take off completely in 09.

Xiong Xiaoge was delighted, "Who? I'd be happy to be noticed by you, Mr. Li. I'd even owe you a few favors."

Even if the investment risk is not low, Lao Xiong can also seek external help, such as inviting other venture capitalists to join in.

We just need a strong man like Mr. Xu to take charge.

Old Li laughed and said, "Jingdong Multimedia's Daqiangzi is a very capable and daring man at this stage. However, his core business is electronic 3C products. If he suddenly opens a supermarket business, I'm not sure if you can persuade him to do so."

If we get Da Qiangzi involved, we can become a giant in the supermarket industry.

It's another different scene. Adong will get into a lot of trouble in the next two minutes. In the later era, the data of many fairies will soar, which is also quite magical.

Da Qiangzi opened a restaurant for the first time when he started a physical business outside the school. Because the cashier and the chef were in love, they intercepted the sales revenue and made false accounts, etc., which cost him 20 yuan.

It's also a lesson learned through blood and tears.

Now in 03, he has developed more than a dozen multimedia chain stores.

In an online forum, someone said that he had been buying CDs from JD.com for three years and had never bought a fake one. This was the only place in Zhongguancun where the goods were genuine and the prices were right.

This is also the quality guarantee of Alternative Pangdonglai.

In the e-commerce era, JD.com’s own stores basically sell genuine goods, but its reputation in the e-commerce circle has collapsed because of the fairies.

Daqiangzi’s girlfriend left JD.com just last year.

Once Adong gets venture capital support to create a physical version of the new Pang Donglai, he will spend hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars to conquer the city.

Maybe his ex-girlfriend would too? ?

Wherever these stores are opened, local citizens can basically eat safe vegetables and quality-assured grains and oils.

Instead of Carrefour, Walmart and various mainland brands, the shelves will be filled with products from the supplier that gives the most kickbacks.

Old Bear took a long breath and said, "Okay, I'll investigate further. It doesn't matter if I owe you a few more favors. If you need any help, just let me know."

Venture capitalists owe a favor to others.

Sometimes it's quite valuable.

…………

On March 3, the Yaoshen project continued to be promoted in Shanghai and progressed rapidly.

Li Wenyu once again made his face a little fatter and even tried out makeup to look older and more decadent, including putting props on his belly. His new look made Pang Bing and Gao Yuanyuan laugh so hard they rubbed their bellies.

Fat Bing also gave a thumbs up, saying, "Although he's not as handsome and imposing all of a sudden, he still feels very approachable and a very likable handsome uncle."

"You're getting a taste of what it's like to be fat in 20 years."

Pang Bing plays Lu Sihui, who goes to a nightclub to dance in order to save her daughter's life. Of course, props are also needed to make the whole person look vicissitudes of life and reflect the feeling of fatigue and withering.

Of course, her daughter is the greatest light in her life, and in order to save her daughter's life, she needs stronger acting skills.

I'm not really worried about this, after all, she is a 92-level actress.

It will definitely be much more powerful than the original version.

This is not to say that Tan Zhuo's performance in the original version was too bad. She performed well, but not too well. Compared with top acting talents like Manyu and Gong Li, there is still a gap.

Therefore, Tan Zhuo was only nominated for a few minor Best Actress awards.

There is not a single mainstream award. This is also due to capital operation, which has turned the awards into a post-war era, but there is no capital behind Tan Zhuo.

With Fat Bing's help, Lao Li can also help her with temporary cheating on the set.

With the help of this role, I can definitely win the Grand Slam at the Asian Film Festivals!
After laughing, Da Meiyuan said in surprise, "Oh right, if she wins the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards this year for her role in Kung Fu, she'll win another award next year for Medicine God."

"Sister Bingbing, you've won three trophies in three consecutive years?"

You can also fill it up in mainland China. I can’t forget that she won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress in 02. She won the award during the filming of "My Star".

I will never forget that in 2003, at the th Huabiao Awards, I won the Huabiao Best Actress award together with Ni Ping.

Grand Slam, winning several titles in a row including improving his resume, now Pang Bing is just waiting to reach the international level.

Of course, she knew that in order to acquire shares in Lao Li's industry, the capital might use any means, including various shady means.

Pang Bing has already changed his mindset of being too lazy to go to Europe and the United States to compete for awards.

She is already the wife of the richest man, Lao Li, in China. If she runs away for a chance to win a prize and gets caught, or someone lures her into a trap and makes her passively gain fans, leaving evidence.

It would be funny if life was ruined like this.

There is no comparison to the easy wins you get by simply playing around in China.

Just as Da Meiyu was teasing her.

Li Wenyu's phone rang. He grabbed it and saw it was a text from Daddario. "Boss, there's a movie called 'Dallas Buyers Club' in the US. The plot is similar to 'Dying to Survive', about patients who can't afford life-saving medication."

"The script, including the filming rights, was secured in 1996, but it went through Universal and then a bunch of other companies."

“Eight years have passed and no project has been promoted.”

"I'd like to ask, if I ask my parents to buy the copyright and a company to film it, can I play a female role in it?"

In the United States under normal circumstances, it is easy for Wall Street to get cheated if they want to enter, let alone the old money like the Daddario family.

Then there is Ellison, who founded Oracle. He is also a role model of new money. He became rich as quickly as Li Wenyu, but Ellison's daughter brought capital into the film and television industry.

The same huge losses.

There are so many things you can do in the screenwriting industry, and from props, lighting, photography and other projects, there are so many categories that can make you money.

Li Wenyu read it and replied simply, "I've heard of that project. If you can get the copyright, it will be okay to film it."

"But your acting skills are good enough to play an important female role in this film. It's still possible in 2006. That's on top of the premise that you study hard and don't play around and slack off."

Dallas Buyers Club, this project has been stalled for more than eight years.

It wasn't until 2012 that the rights to the script, after passing through a series of corporate groups, finally came to a small independent film company.

The small company had no money, so they spent 250 million US dollars on makeup, but the total cost was only 550 million US dollars, and it took in more than 5000 million US dollars at the global box office.

Nominated for a series of Oscars, including the Best Actor trophy.

Normal filming? You have to involve one of the major Hollywood studios. If it's a Sino-American co-production, without American funding as the majority, you won't be able to enter the Oscars at all, and you won't even be nominated.

Lao Li follows the model of joint venture filming and promoting actresses like Daddario. He can't even be a director anymore.

This is also because the technical expression is too ordinary, and it is at the same ordinary level as (Marriage Story) and (Blue Jasmine).

Just treat it as a commercial project that can make money and help Shi Guang enrich its exclusive internet broadcasting rights.

Daddario quickly replied, "Then I'll talk to my parents about it. I will definitely study hard. I really like this industry."

Lao Li replied with a "OK" and put away his phone.

In this circle, there are really a lot of second and third generation Chinese and Americans.

In comparison, the only one who can become a role model of acting is Qin Hao, the director of "Unspoken Rules".

…………

Li Wenyu is busy with a new project.

In South Korea, Dark Glory has become popular.

Although South Korea only broadcasts two episodes a week, this TV series is so exciting that it has piqued everyone's curiosity as soon as it was aired. After all, it is expensive!

A price gimmick is enough to get people to tune in.

I kept getting into it and couldn't stop.

This movie shows two things: one is the glamorous and respectable life of the second and third generations of wealthy families, and the other is the daily life of the poor people at the bottom of society.

The contrast effect of class antagonism is maximized.

Another way of showing is how the second and third generations of the evil faction unscrupulously oppress ordinary people, and then at the campus, society, police station, your family and other levels.

Easily play with and torture the lives of ordinary people.

The more clearly and directly this evil is exposed.

Azhi plays the heroine in her teenage years, who suffers a lot and ends up in a horrifying scene with scars all over her body and makeup.

The clearer the presentation, the more ordinary people in life will be able to empathize with it.

After all, South Korean society is the most magical and cyberpunk.

The main theme of the TV series has already been said: revenge!

How the bottom of society gradually seeks revenge on those at the top.

So Dark Glory had a 36% viewership rating for the first episode.

The second episode directly reached 49%, surpassing the original peak of 2003% of Stairway to Heaven in December 12.

In the cyberpunk Korean film industry, from Azhi to a large group of mainland actors, mainly time-based actors, they became incredibly popular.

And I am really looking forward to the subsequent plot.

These topics have also sparked new topics on Weibo outside the Great Firewall.

Being wronged, bullied, and bullied by PUA in the workplace—who hasn't encountered this in society? This new spring in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Azhidu began to make rapid progress in the alternative track.
