This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 470: Get on the bus quickly! (asking for monthly tickets)
Dong Ping didn't know whether he could convince all the producers. After all, five million is not a small amount of money these days.

The market in Hong Kong is not good, and 5 million is enough to make two movies. Many film companies may not be able to make a net profit of 5 million even if they make big productions.

However, the results were surprisingly consistent.

No one opposed this, not even Dong Ping himself.

It turned out that everyone wanted to go together.

The reason why Dong Ping did not object was that he thought Hao Yun was sending a "test" to everyone - of course, Hao Yun was not qualified to test these big producers.

But it is undeniable that Hao Yun's wings have become strong.

He now has the money and connections, so he can make his own movies independently. As long as he doesn't make "A Chinese Odyssey" like Stephen Chow did, with Hao Yun's ability to control the market and scripts, he doesn't have to worry about repeating the mistakes of Star Overseas.

There's no reason to hang out with these old guys anymore.

Unless everyone can give him greater freedom and more benefits.

The five million is the transportation fee.

Get in the car quickly!

Anyone who doesn't follow will be kicked off the car.

There are ten producers, and each one only has to pay 500,000, which is completely affordable. It's not like each one of them has to pay 5 million.

If Hao Yun dared to ask every family to contribute five million, he would really be hated.

Although "Those Years" brought at least tens of millions of net profits to each company, they would still feel the pain if you asked them to take half.

That's against the rules.

"Uncle Dong, thank you all for me. I want to tell you that our next movie will be about the Spring Festival travel rush. The cost is not too high, so let's do it together."

Hao Yun has several scripts that he is planning to shoot. "Bullfighting" and "Little Forest" are both art films, and "Lost on Journey" is a comedy, which can be said to have strong commercial elements.

As for "Lost in Thailand", it cannot be released now.

"Spring Festival travel?" Dong Ping sneered secretly on the other end of the phone. This kid was really testing everyone. If they didn't agree to him, he would probably turn around and pack up and go his separate ways with everyone.

Hao Yun gave a brief outline of the story.

Dong Ping is also a senior filmmaker who has watched countless films and is familiar with many eccentric moves. He just happened to have seen Crazy Trip. He recalled the characters and jokes in the movie, and then linked this idea with China's Spring Festival travel rush. He immediately felt that this was a rare and ingenious idea.

China’s Spring Festival travel rush is a topic of national concern.

Whether you are a worker or a student, you have to rush to the ticket office early in the morning to queue up at a specific time.

It is not uncommon to see long queues stretching for several kilometers.

In order to go home during the Spring Festival, a large number of scalpers have emerged to make a living.

Well, a considerable number of scalpers are scammers.

Most people have experienced being sold fake tickets or even being cheated.

Most people can't afford sleeper berths, and sitting tickets are generally not available to most people. It's good enough to have a standing ticket.

The small green carriage was packed to the brim with people so crowded that it was impossible to fall asleep.

Don't count on going to the bathroom either, because there are people in there.

The toilet is also an ideal place to evade the ticket.

In China, too many people have profound experiences with the Spring Festival travel rush.

For a moment, Dong Ping wanted to kick Hao Yun out, put together his own team to make the movie, and release it in time for the Spring Festival.

It’s only August or September now, maybe it’s still in time.

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. Dong Ping was not so despicable as to break up with Hao Yun for such a small profit.

And based on his understanding of Hao Yun, this guy is more cautious than many old-timers.

I guess the project will be approved as soon as the script is written.

Even the remake rights for "Crazy Trip" may have been obtained.

If others don't borrow much from others when making movies, they won't waste the money. Hao Yun will definitely make sure that everything is foolproof.

"You can do the Spring Festival travel rush. Don't worry about it. No one will interfere with your creation. Just tell me if you need any support. And..." Dong Ping paused and asked, "What about your Little Forest..."

The words were not fully explained, but the meaning was very clear. Why didn't you invite everyone to join you in making your new movie?

This was not just Dong Ping's question, but everyone unanimously asked Dong Ping to find out.

"I remember explaining to everyone that it was an art film, a pastoral and fresh film. It definitely wouldn't have much box office and almost no chance of winning any awards. I tried to cut costs as much as possible and didn't expect to make any money. It would be good enough if I didn't lose money." Hao Yun had to explain patiently.

"You did something wrong!" Although Dong Ping was a little touched, he still wanted to criticize Hao Yun:
“You leave all the money-making opportunities to others and take all the uncertain risks yourself. This is not how you do business.

You will lose a lot of money if you do this, and no one wants to see you lose money.

Since we can make money together, we should share the risks with you.

If you can't even share the risk, why would you make money for him?"

That made sense, but Hao Yun knew they just wanted to continue the bond.

"Uncle Dong, next time there's an art film, I will definitely not let you guys go. Little Forest... well, you know what I mean!"

"..."

I understand?
I don't know a thing.

Dong Ping was confused, but he didn't want to continue asking questions, for fear of being considered as out of touch with the times.

After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun read the latest news before going to bed.

The 60th anniversary commemoration ceremony was held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

And the 60th anniversary of the unconditional surrender.

Unconditionally…

Jay Chou was photographed spending Father's Day with Patty Hou and Jay's father, once again revealing the passionate relationship between the two.

Humph, you bastards!
The cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was broadcast.

The song "Snail" composed by Jay Chou was included in the recommended list of patriotic songs for middle school students in Shanghai.

Old Zhou is really a big shot.

Huang Shengyi secretly took part in a group of photo shoots for a certain magazine because "her employer, Star Entertainment, placed too many restrictions on her and refused to arrange any work for her."

As a result, Huang Shengyi’s breach of contract caused strong dissatisfaction from Star Shine, which threatened to ban her.

How should I put it, Stephen Chow is indeed difficult to get along with, but only if you get along well with him can you go further. Falling out with Stephen Chow at this time, regardless of whether you will be banned or not, is a loss-making thing.

What future is there in hanging out with Song Zu?

If Hao Yun was Huang Shengyi, as long as Stephen Chow didn't have any ideas about his body, he would have to persuade Stephen Chow to make more movies for him and fill up his blood, even to the point where his fingers would have afterimages.

Huang Shengyi just filmed a movie called "Kung Fu". It's ok that she had no lines, but she didn't have a single shot in total.

It would be crazy to terminate the contract at this time.

Just as he said Huang Shengyi was unwise, Hao Yun soon saw that the contract would not be renewed when it expired.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance of his.

Rong Xinda Company commissioned Sina Entertainment to issue a statement that it would not renew Zhou Xun's contract.

The title is "Zhou Xun, I hope you have a good journey", and the beginning emphasizes that it is "no renewal of contract" rather than "termination of contract".

The contract lasted five years.

Zhou Xun decided to enter the entertainment industry after filming "The Story of the Palace of Eternal Life" and signed a contract with Rong Xinda.

During the contract period, Zhou Xun opened up her performance space from a little girl through "April in the World" and began to interpret characters with cultural backgrounds; in "The Oranges Are Red", she transitioned from a young girl to a woman; in "Baby in Love", Zhou Xun has reached a higher level in performance and began to shape the spiritual level of characters, and also received professional recognition from the industry.

Now that Rong Xinda can no longer satisfy Zhou Xun, it is understandable that the contract is terminated.

Moreover, the breakup was decent.

The TV series "Absolute Privacy" starring her and Chen Kun was recently aired. Li Shaohong was the director. Zhou Xun left, but Chen Kun chose to renew his contract.

As a boss, Hao Yun also knows that the artists and directors under him will definitely break up one day.

I don't ask for anything else, just a decent life.

In mid to late August,
Gao Xiumin, a famous Errenzhuan actress, sketch actor and national first-class actor, died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 46.

From 1997 to 2005, Gao Xiumin participated in the Spring Festival Gala for eight consecutive years, and formed a triangle with Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei, bringing countless joy to the audience.

Hao Yun had no connection with the family, so he did not go to see them off, but out of respect for the old artist, he sent a painted circle and a elegiac couplet.

Things in this world are unpredictable, but we have to live our lives as usual.

Cherish the present moment more than anything else.
