God of Sprint

Chapter 509-1 We must get to the bottom of this

The next morning, Zhao Yun followed Zhang Xiangning to various bases to check out the conditions at the bases.

Zhao Yun looked at these makeshift bases and said, "Alas, we built so many facilities just to shoot a movie, but they were demolished after the shooting. What a pity!"

Zhang Xiangning also knew the general situation of the company. "We can't help it. Our capital operation is still a bit difficult. We can't compare with those big capitals. For example, director Chen Kaige, the bases they use are all investments. They buy a piece of land, build it with great care, and then it becomes a tourist attraction after filming. We can only rent it temporarily because we can't make ends meet, and we have to demolish it after we use it up."

In fact, there are some things she hasn't said yet, such as why investors always lose money when Chen Kaige makes movies, but he can always attract big investments, often hundreds of millions of dollars.

Zhao Yun nodded after hearing what she said, "Well, it seems that they are investing for the long term."

"In fact, sometimes it's not a long-term investment. After they build it, if you have a good relationship with them, you can sell it to the local government. In this way, you can quickly get your capital back, and many local governments also want them to invest in land."

Zhao Yun asked in confusion, "Oh! Why?"

Zhang Xiangning patiently said, "Because if they take the land, they can drive up the prices of surrounding real estate, which will bring more income to the local government. Which local government would not be happy?"

Zhao Yun suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Then he is not making a movie, he is just doing real estate under the guise of making a movie."

"You can say that, but they are all reasonable and compliant."

Zhao Yun learned a lot from chatting with Zhang Xiangning. Although he studied business management, chatting with her made him feel that what he had learned from books was superficial.

I also sighed in my heart that there are so many different ways for capital to make money, and the means are endless.

No matter how much others criticize Chen Kaige for his poor filmmaking, investors are always happy. Little do they know that the box office is just an additional income for them, and their real main business is real estate. In this case, which investor would not want to invest money?

But those retail investors are in trouble. They invested hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in movies, and real estate has nothing to do with them.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiangning took a walk around, and then had lunch together at noon. Zhao Yun learned some on-site knowledge from her.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yun went to the filming base to take a look. At that time, a scene starring Bai Bingbing and Teacher Yongmei was being filmed. After this scene was finished, she would finish filming in two or three days.

Liu Yifei, Lin Zhenna, Hu Ge, and Chen Long sat next to Zhao Yun and watched the performance of the two people on the field.

Teacher Yongmei is worthy of her background as a drama actress. Her performance is really easy to empathize with. Her performance style is like the gentle breeze and spring rain, without a high-pitched voice, but every line of hers is pleasant to the ear. Bai Bingbing is still a little lacking in acting opposite her.

After this scene, Bai Bingbing ended her work for the day. She tidied herself up and went back to her RV to remove her makeup.

Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, Lin Zhenna and others entered the shooting site and started shooting.

Teacher Yongmei stayed at the scene. She came over and greeted Zhao Yun with a smile, "Brother, you're here!"

Zhao Yun nodded and pulled the chair that Liu Yifei had just sat on for Yongmei to sit down. "Sister Yongmei, your participation in this play is really the icing on the cake. Your acting is really great."

Yongmei said modestly with a faint smile on her face, "What kind of acting skills do I have? Without you recommending me, no one would ask me to act in a movie."

"Sister Yongmei, believe me, I can't say that you will definitely become famous in the future with your acting skills, but you will definitely have a place in the film and television market."

"Haha, brother, you really flatter me."

Director Kong Sheng also said, "Yongmei, you don't really need to be modest. Your acting skills are really good. What Mr. Zhao said is right. The entertainment industry is now completely taken away by traffic stars, which makes it difficult for talented actors like you to attract other people's attention. This is really the tragedy of the entertainment industry."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. Who doesn't want to make money quickly when dealing with capital? After all, traffic stars are only popular for a few years, so they will definitely use them quickly and make money quickly. In fact, I also want to make money, but I have my own bottom line, which is that I must make good movies and make money."

Director Kong Sheng nodded, "It is because I know Yun Duo Company's bottom line that I can cooperate with Yun Duo Company again and again. Especially after I finished filming our company's classic flower-growing film, I admire Yun Duo Company even more. Such a big investment is just to give the audience a work that truly understands flower growers."

"Zhonghuajia has indeed become a bit of a traffic star, and even I am reaping the benefits of traffic. Sometimes I feel like I am eating my meal and then destroying the pot, so our company never criticizes traffic stars on the Internet."

"You are different. Your traffic is gained by winning glory for the country as an athlete. If everyone had traffic like you, it would be a blessing for the Chinese people. It means that our country has won one championship after another. We can't wait to be happy."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "That's how we normal people think, but in the eyes of the skilled woman, if you haven't sold it, then the price hasn't been negotiated. Other investors don't see it that way. I don't want to offend my peers, after all, most of them are like this."

Teacher Yongmei nodded and agreed with Zhao Yun's statement, "Brother, when are you going back to Beijing? Your brother asked you to come to his house for dinner."

"I won't be back for a few days. Our company is filming a project in Nanjing, so I have to go take a look."

"Okay, if you get back, call me and I'll make you two of your favorite dishes so you and your brother can have a good meal."

"Yes! Okay, I'll trouble you, sister-in-law, then."

A few people were chatting, and Zhao Yun suddenly thought of his watch. He said hello to everyone else, walked out of the scene, picked up the phone and called Bai Bingbing.

"Sister Bai, are you removing your makeup?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhao? Is there anything you need from me?" Bai Bingbing answered the phone with a look of control on her face.

Zhao Yun organized his words and said, "It's like this. We had a dinner party the day before yesterday. When I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, I left my watch in the bathroom. You were there at the time, so I wanted to ask if you saw it?"

Bai Bingbing said with a half-smile, "Oh, my watch is lost. If I hadn't seen it, how would you have checked if your watch was stolen?"

Zhao Yun said, "If I encounter this kind of situation, I will definitely catch the two leaders first, give them a verbal lesson, and then chase them down. I will definitely get to the bottom of it later!!"

Bai Bingbing smiled and said, "Then come over to my side and see if you can figure out the truth!"
