071 The Choice of Film Investment
.........
The effect of taking things out of context and generalizing from limited information is to disrupt the situation.
Chaos, on the other hand, means enormous benefits to those humanoid beings.
However, no matter how chaotic the situation is, it will eventually calm down, and at that time, that group will naturally face the prospect of being held accountable.
However, the other party had already used their core skills to seize the huge profits gained in the chaos and then hid away. At the same time, they also threw out some superficial pawns to take the punishment in their place, while they hid away and waited for the next opportunity to disrupt the situation.
This core skill is the art of disguise and escaping unscathed.
The two are used together.
They have used this skill to escape countless purges.
The ancients called it "painted skin".
Modern people call it a vest.
Because this group is extremely selfish, they will arrange a background for themselves as long as it is beneficial.
They are completely different from the Han people.
They don't care about any so-called ancestral glory at all.
Those who now take pride in their ancestors' Eight Banners or even bondservants are merely profit-driven pawns used by the core groups to disrupt the situation, and scapegoats when the great purge arrives.
One fish, multiple ways to cook it.
Based on these characteristics, some people have given them a vivid and descriptive name.
Sliding ancestor changer.
For example, during the Xinhai Revolution, some mites repeatedly emphasized that their ancestors were also Han Chinese in order to survive.
But what they don't know is that if this is true, it's even more hateful.
I know that.
You'll be able to see many things clearly now.
Especially online public opinion.
We are now living in an era of information explosion brought about by the Internet.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it makes it easier to obtain information.
The downside is that the truth is mixed with falsehood, requiring one to distinguish between them, and it provides an environment for that group to stir up trouble.
On the Internet.
Since no real person needs to appear in person, one person can create many different aliases.
This led to the birth of the online troll industry.
Zhou Yang wants to create an alias that is an influential public intellectual, and at the right opportunity, use the tactic of "carrying freedom against freedom" to expose certain truths. Therefore, he needs several foreign IPs.
When "Wild West" was released, at least several different pseudonyms would need to fight each other before the fire could finally be spread to "advanced" Western civilization.
The focus of each vest is definitely different.
He has already thought it through.
Brainless Western fanboy.
Central shunt nerve.
Environmentalists.
The spirit of bringing one's own rations.
A combination of backward system, barbaric culture, and inferior race.
and many more.
This posed no difficulty for Zhou Yang at all; he simply needed to use literary creation and the internet as a medium to create several characters who would not yet have any interaction.
........
After dinner.
Brother Wang then got down to the important business he had come for.
Film investment.
Because of the visual effects showcased by the three companies, major investors are very optimistic about the "Wild West" project, believing it will be a landmark work.
The capital that Brother Wang first introduced turned out to be Huayi Brothel.
In order to boost the stock price, the other party is willing to spend a lot of money for only a small share, but they want one of the male and female leads and at least two minor characters.
Liu Shishi was tempted by this offer.
They immediately offered to give up the role of Su Ru, since she was only doing it for her own perverse pleasure.
At Zhou Yang's signal.
Liu Manting then used the excuse of looking at the script together to leave with Liu Shishi.
Then, with an incredulous look on his face, he asked, "Brother Wang, have you betrayed us and defected to the enemy?"
Brother Wang rolled his eyes. "Didn't you just say you wanted to infiltrate behind enemy lines? I'll give you that opportunity now."
"Get this straight, I'm going to infiltrate enemy territory using an alias. How could a gentleman like me possibly associate with those scum?"
"Ha, shameless."
"By the way, why did they come to you? Wasn't my attitude towards the Manchus clear enough before?"
"I feel like they're trying to win you over, since that's one of their specialties."
"This is bad luck, let's move on to the next one."
Brother Wang nodded. "China Film Group, we can discuss the investment share later. After all, state-owned enterprises are well-known. Their only condition is to change the director. They say that a young person like you can't handle such a big project and that an experienced person is needed to direct it."
"Have you made any recommendations?"
"Yes, you can choose between Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou. The person I spoke with strongly recommended the former."
Zhou Yang laughed in anger, "If it were Director Chen, 'Wilderness Journey' would definitely be turned into 'The Dilemma of the Demonic Cult.' Directors of his generation are all pretty much the same; they would definitely try their best to dig out the so-called humanity of those demonic cult scum."
"What if it were a director from the new generation?"
"If I can find someone who understands those three visual effects companies better than me, I'm not unwilling to let go."
"Alright, never mind, let's move on to the next one, Enlight Media."
"What are the conditions?"
"They'll pay a 70% premium for a 30% investment share and handle the film's distribution, on the condition that the second male and female leads are included."
"It sounds very sincere, but it's probably not their bottom line."
"That's right. After all, it's a listed company. Even if it hasn't reached the point of only playing financial games, it will still take the stock price into account no matter what it does."
Zhou Yang thought for a moment before saying, "Let me meet the candidates they recommended later. If they barely meet the requirements, then we can continue the discussion."
"Okay, the next one is Starlight Splendor, but the official investor is Wanda Pictures. They want more screen time for the second female lead, Zhuque, and explicitly require that she have no scandals."
"Jing Tian?"
"Yes, you can consider it. After all, they have the advantage of having a theater chain. If you really don't want to agree, you can also consider that young master Wang's Pusi Capital."
Zhou Yang immediately became interested, his face full of gossip. "Can I ask about the relationship between the two sides? Not some power struggle between the chairman's son and other factions. You know what I really want to know."
Brother Wang shook his head. "You know, I never pay attention to this kind of thing. After all, I'd rather spend my time reading a few more pages of a book."
"Alright, let's keep both as options for now. After all, if we don't want to offend anyone, we either have to choose neither or accept both."
"Master of Balance, you really don't need to care about this kind of thing."
It's best to avoid making enemies if possible.
"That makes sense. So, should we just reject it outright?"
"Wait, tell me the conditions first."
"There were no conditions involved; it seemed like a perfectly normal investment. Not only did they guarantee not to interfere with your creative process, but they also helped the production team find some veterans from the Magic Film Studio."
"Looks like they're after me personally."
"It's good that you understand."
"This needs careful consideration. Does accepting the Shadow Demon and rejecting the Central Shadow appear to some as a clear sign of taking sides?"
"Not really. We can just use the conditions proposed by China Film Group as leverage. However, the higher the box office of 'Wilderness Journey' is, the easier it will be to offend those veterans in the film industry."
"The entire film industry is practically dead; why would I be afraid of offending a veteran in the film world?"
"It seems you've already made your choice."
"Okay, help me make an appointment with the people from Shadow Demon's side. Let's finalize things with them first."
"no problem."
