This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 489: Let's split the profit 2237- (-for- monthly ticket plus )
With the help of Shi Xiaoqiang, Hao Yun helped Lan Xiaolong into the car.

Lan Xiaolong fell asleep as soon as he got in the car and was unable to explain to Hao Yun who Tan Jing was.

This guy is a pretty good drinker. He can walk on his own when drunk and fall into a deep sleep when he lies down. He doesn't act crazy or vomit.

"Who is Tan Jing?" Hao Yun asked Shi Xiaoqiang.

"Brains are a good thing, but not everyone has one. There are at least eight thousand people with this name. How should I know when you ask this question without any clue?" Shi Xiaoqiang said bluntly.

Anyway, it's already the middle of the month and his salary has already turned negative.

"I make fake paintings." Hao Yun silently wrote down the hundred yuan he was going to deduct. He had to deduct the money as he was told. As a boss, one must be honest.

"Oh, him..." Shi Xiaoqiang suddenly realized.

"Do you know him?" Hao Yun was shocked. He always felt that the things rewarded by the system could not be garbage.

Whether it was the collector's edition of "Taiyi Xuanmen Sword" or those little animals, they were either killing moves - as Hao Yun became more and more proficient in practicing this thing, he could rarely get any martial arts attributes from ordinary people - or they were spiritual things.

Even if this "Elegant Gathering at Wei Garden" by Shen Zhou of the Ming Dynasty is not an authentic work, it should not be a low-quality fake produced in large quantities at a high cost.

It turned out to be a fake painting made by a ruthless man named Tan Jing.

"I don't know him." Shi Xiaoqiang answered seriously.

"Fuck, you're screwed!" Hao Yun wanted to knock his head off, thinking that this guy knew.

"You mean the painting in the office, right? I advise you to put it away. It won't be surprising if it is broken into and robbed someday. People who come here to do business often come over to appreciate it." Shi Xiaoqiang also knew that this was a serious matter.

Hao Yun’s current home is also his office.

There are four bedrooms and two living rooms. One of the master bedrooms is where Hao Yun lives, two are guest bedrooms, and the last one and the living room are used as office areas.

Wu Laoliu and his friends usually meet there to discuss matters.

In addition to the fact that Hao Yun's master bedroom cannot be entered casually, Wu Laoliu also arranges special people to clean it regularly.

If the painting is really famous, it is indeed not suitable to be hung there.

Hao Yun took Lan Xiaolong home, let him rest in the guest bedroom, and then turned on the computer to find out who Tan Jing was.

The Internet is a good thing.

Hao Yun soon learned about this prominent figure in the cost estimation industry of the Republic of China.

Tan Jing is the childhood friend of China's "chief appraisal expert" Zhang Congyu, the cousin of Mr. Du Wang He, the relative of Du Yuesheng, and the leader of a famous calligraphy and painting counterfeiting gang in the Republic of China. The fake paintings he made are collected by major museums around the world!
They were a counterfeiting gang, and although they only did it for two years, they managed to produce quite a few fake paintings.

For example, the "Narcissus" scroll by Zhao Zigu of the Song Dynasty, the original is kept in the Tianjin Art Museum, and the copy made by Tan Jing is kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The original of "Two Pines in the Distance" by Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty is kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the copy made by Tan Jing is kept in the Sangha Museum.

and many more……

Obviously, there are more pieces made by Tan Jing than the ones mentioned above.

Before Tan Jing went to Hong Kong in 1949, he gave a batch of counterfeit paintings to his close friend Hong Yulin, the capital representative of the Shanghai Coral Sewing Machine Factory at that time.

Hong Yulin handed over the fake paintings to Dai Fubao, a former antique dealer in Shanghai. Before he could deal with them, the People's Liberation Army's artillery fire rang out. Hong Yulin was subsequently sentenced for being the "organizer of the smuggling of cultural relics."

Dai Fubao secretly took these imitations of calligraphy and paintings to Miguo and placed them in his own warehouse where they lay dormant for sixty years.

After Dai Fubao passed away in 92, this batch of fake paintings appeared at the Christie's auction in Miguo, marked as "made by Tan Jing".

There are a total of nine pieces made by Tan Jing [Note 1].

Judging from the sales direction of "Tan Jingzao", these fake paintings are mainly intended to deceive foreigners and are sold overseas, with sales in the domestic market being in the minority.

Although he is not a good person, he can be said to be a Chinese who does not deceive Chinese people.

Of course, those that have been resold do not count.

After 1949, the owner of the scroll "Qingchuan Farewell to Guests" copied by Tan Jing from Zhao Yuan wanted to sell it to the Palace Museum. The museum's expert in calligraphy and painting wrote a note to Zhang Heng, asking him not to speak during the appraisal. The original "Qingchuan Farewell to Guests" was originally collected by Zhang Heng, and he knew that it was copied by Tan Jing. As the leader of the Cultural Relics Department of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, how could Zhang Heng not speak up? He said so that the fake could not enter the Palace Museum.

Later, the original works that Zhang Heng originally collected were brought into the Palace Museum.

Tan Jing later returned to Shanghai and became keen on insect fighting. In 1958, he was sent to Baimaoling Prison for gambling, where he stayed for more than years.

In 1991, Tan Jing died in Shanghai at the age of 80, and his legendary life came to an end.

Hao Yun didn't expect that the painting rewarded by the system actually belonged to Tan Jingzao.

He has been hanging here for a year or two.

Apart from the fact that I feel it can show off my taste, I don't feel there is any difference from hanging a decorative painting worth three hundred dollars.

It should be worth a lot of money. It was said that it could be sold for one thousand and two taels of silver in that era.

Damn, the system is a bitch and didn’t even remind me.

If this was picked up and sold by the cleaning lady, who could I complain to? But the cleaning lady didn't seem to recognize this thing either.

So, what to do with this thing?

Since it is collected by so many museums, this thing must have a certain collection value.

In the absence of genuine products, high-end counterfeits are used to show off, and it is possible that rich people will pay for them.

One million? Or two million?

Sell ​​it or donate it to a museum?

But it definitely can’t be hung in the office for the time being, as it will obviously attract thieves.

Hao Yun was not afraid of thieves. Even if one or two million was lost, he would not commit suicide. What he was worried about was that the stupid thief would run into his bedroom and read his diary.

If someone sees...

That was really humiliating, even more painful than having the painting stolen.

The stupid thief was caught when he fainted from laughter while reading the diary...

He didn't stop during the interrogation.

It was simply a large-scale social death scene.

Damn, an underground safe must be built in the villa, an iron fortress that no one can enter except me.

After Lan Xiaolong woke up in the afternoon, Hao Yun took him to attend a dinner party to entertain the producers in the evening.

The person who came forward on Aunt Liu's side was An Xiaoxi.

It’s not that Aunt Liu is busy, but she decided to let An Xiaoxi come forward.

Her original intention of appearing in public before was to attend social events on behalf of her daughter in order to protect her daughter and keep her away from the gossips in the entertainment industry.

But the gossips in the entertainment industry are not something you can stay away from just because you want to.

Flowers in a greenhouse can never grow. Once the glass house is broken, they will be doomed.

Since An Xiaoxi is already an adult and has a classmate like Hao Yun to take care of her.

It would be better to let her see more and experience some less dangerous storms now.

Of course, the key point is that there is a classmate named Hao Yun to take care of me.

The houses bought by Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi are both near the school, so Hao Yun went to pick up An Xiaoxi and go there together.

I don’t know if it was because of the Mazda, but there was a bit of a traffic jam.

As soon as Hao Yun entered the private room, he began to apologize to the capital bosses: "Sorry, there was a traffic jam. I may change to a better car next time and there will be no traffic jam."

The bosses laughed out loud, this joke was really a bit cold.

A big shot like Han Sanping would definitely not come. Hengdian also sent a representative, but Wang Zhongjun came to the scene.

Firstly, he was in the capital and lived relatively close by, and secondly, Aunt Hua was in a precarious situation and needed more opportunities.

Hao Yun is famous for his many high-quality projects.

"The Heart Labyrinth" generated a profit of 200%, and "Those Years" was even more exaggerated, probably more than 700%.

"Come and sit down quickly. This person is from Guangxian Media..." Dong Ping introduced Hao Yun.

"Boss Wang Changtian, I met him some time ago. I didn't expect Boss Wang to come here in person. I'm sorry for the neglect." Hao Yun hurriedly shook hands with the other party.

"This is Director Pang from our Bayi School." Zhang Qian, whom Hao Yun had met last time, introduced him to Hao Yun.

"Hello, Director Pang!" Hao Yun greeted politely.

Hengdian Group, Huayi, Huayi, Bayi, Guangxian Media, Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi, plus "Soldier Assault" producer Zhang Qian, director Kang Honglei, and screenwriter Lan Xiaolong, this is the lineup for today's dinner.

Those who are able to appear here have read the plan submitted by Hao Yun and are interested in these two TV series.

As for why Wang Zhongjun, who had already withdrawn his investment, came back again?
All I can say is that he is not a good horse, and he has started to go back to his old love without any scruples.

When Chinese people discuss matters at the table, they rarely start right away, as that can easily cause indigestion. So they usually drink three rounds of wine.

Since there are ladies here today, An Xiaoxi is a lady, and Director Pang is also a lady, so the topic became much more elegant.

After An Xiaoxi changed her nationality, Aunt Liu is planning to set up a company in her name.

From what she said, she wanted to give Hao Yun 20% of the shares for free.

In the future they will use the new company for investment.

Hao Yun takes them out to play every time, and it is impossible for them to feel at ease and enjoy the benefits without giving anything in return.

Hao Yun doesn't care about this.

He doesn't care about the little profit.

If he really wanted to have the best deal on his own, he wouldn't have looked for so many companies to invest in "Those Years".

But if it was forced upon him, he wouldn't have much reason to refuse.

"Yes, Whiplash will participate in the Berlin Film Festival next year. I hope it can gain something." When asked about Whiplash, Hao Yun did not hide his ambitions.

Most people can see that he is a man who wants both.

"You are in charge of both business and award judging." Wang Changtian came to this meeting today just to get close to Hao Yun.

He is worth over 100 million yuan, but he still needs help from Hao Yun.

He has a demand for commercial films, and he also has a big demand for art films. Because Guangxian Media wants to enter the film industry, reputation is also very important.

"Haha, I can't change my literary youth habits. I always want to shoot something of my own." Hao Yun pretended to be sad.

"Hey, how can this be a problem? This is aspirational. Do you have any movies that are sure to win awards? I'll pay for you to make them. If we win, we'll split the profits 30-70. If we lose, I'll take all the money. What do you think?"

Seeing that they had almost finished drinking and it was time to get down to business, Wang Changtian quickly cut in line.

The conditions he offered were very generous.

If he wins 30% and loses %, it's all his, which is equivalent to giving Hao Yun % of the share for free.

Even Zhang Weiping would not give Zhang Yimou so much, because he simply does not have that much power.

Hearing this, everyone looked at him sideways.

However, since Wang Changtian specifically requested an art film, the others did not overreact.

There are not many art films like "Maze" that can return 200% of the money. It is generally believed that the reason why "Maze" achieved this result is due to Jiang Wen.

Because Jiang Wen brought the film to the Cannes Film Festival.

If there was no Jiang Wen, even if Hao Yun could send the film to Cannes for the exhibition, it would never have won the Best Screenplay Award based on his personal influence.

Quentin and Jiang Wen are gay friends. He is a member of the jury, so it would be strange if he didn't win the award.

It was precisely because of winning the Best Screenplay Award that it was able to sell so many overseas copyrights, including the adaptation rights to several countries.

It was because this film won an award at the Cannes Film Festival that domestic theaters scheduled so many screenings for it.

"Yes, there is one, but Mr. Wang, you have to think it over carefully. This movie may not make any money. The script mainly tells the story of a cow and a farmer during the Anti-Japanese War."

Hao Yun has no intention of deceiving or cheating anyone. We are doing long-term business.

"Can he win an award?" Wang Changtian actually didn't quite understand. How could Hao Yun make an art film out of just a cow and a farmer?
It’s okay to make science and education films, such as "Scientific Cattle Raising Starts with Calfs".

"I can't say that I'm 100% sure of winning an award, but the probability is still quite high, mainly because the awards are domestic." Hao Yun didn't say it too confidently. Not to mention him, he wasn't even sure about Zhang Yimou.

Unless the topic is chosen in a clever way like Li An.

There is no guarantee of box office success or awards, this is the norm in the film market and also the most exciting part of it.

"How much does it cost?" For their first collaboration, Wang Changtian had no choice but to trust Hao Yun.

"Ten million, maybe? We can definitely make it with ten million." Hao Yun had several scripts in his hands. He and several directors from Heidou Media had roughly estimated the cost of producing a movie.

"The production cost is 10 million, and the publicity and promotion must be around 2 million, which means the cost is 12 million, right?" This data did not exceed Wang Changtian's psychological bottom line.

He didn't think it was too high.

Even if there is a loss, it will only be a few million.

"Yes, it will definitely be enough." The 10 million that Hao Yun mentioned actually includes the production and promotion.

Unexpectedly, Wang Changtian understood it as 10 million for production, plus another amount for publicity and promotion. Hao Yun certainly would not refuse such an offer of money.

Not to mention an extra two million, even if you gave him an extra 20 million, he would spend it all.

Give the lead actor Huang Bo a little more pay, and most importantly, give the director more director's fee, and give the screenwriter more screenwriter's fee...

"Okay, I'll take the 30 million and give you %." Wang Changping made the decision decisively.

"Pleasant to work with."

The two clinked their glasses and the project was completed.

Others expressed their congratulations.

Before Hao Yun came, Wang Changtian had actually communicated with others and clearly stated the purpose of his visit.

With the support of others, he was able to win the project so smoothly.

Otherwise, given the film's story background during the Anti-Japanese War, the August 1st Film Studio would have no reason to sit idly by.

"Next is our TV series, Soldier Assault and My Captain, My Regiment. Everyone has seen how popular Hai Run's Bright Sword is. This kind of military war film has a very broad mass base. As long as the first round of word of mouth is good, there will definitely be a steady stream of multiple rounds of broadcasts in the future."

Only by presenting facts and reasoning can you make your point.

If "Drawing Sword" had not been so popular before, Hao Yun would have had to work much harder to convince these people.

"Can you introduce the scripts of these two dramas?" The representative of Hengdian Film and Television trusted Hao Yun very much, but Hao Yun's expertise was in movies, and it was inevitable that people were worried about his sudden involvement in the field of TV dramas.

"Let director Kang Honglei introduce "Soldier Assault." Hao Yun motioned Kang Honglei to speak.

Lan Xiaolong’s eloquence is average. He is okay in areas he is good at, but it is too difficult for him to make big promises in front of capital.

The planning proposals have been sent to various companies, so I will mainly talk about the selling points of this TV series.

Kang Honglei was prepared and spoke with great enthusiasm.

Others nodded as they listened, and they could imagine that the quality of this TV series must be good.

Especially Wang Zhongjun, who himself was a soldier. It was he who insisted on investing in "Soldier Assault". But who would have known that so many things would happen later.

At present, Wang Jinghua’s departure is a foregone conclusion, and we can only try our best to retain the artists who will be taken away by her.

If Hao Yun has a suitable commercial film, they don't mind offering the same conditions as Wang Changtian.

But there is a high probability that you will be criticized by other people and become autistic - that's a nice thought.

"This is not the same thing as 'Drawing Sword.'" Dong Ping is in the film industry, and if the TV series is suitable, he doesn't mind getting involved.

It must be included in the company’s main business.

But he would rather invest in TV series like "Draw the Sword" and "Fire the Cannon" which follow the trend of "Drawing Sword".

Plus, the producer of "Soldier Assault" was Zhang Qian, so he was so rude.

"Indeed, we have been preparing for this for quite some time." Kang Honglei envied the achievements of "Drawing Sword", but if he was asked to follow the trend, he was sorry that he really couldn't do it.

"The Bayi Film Studio took two million, and the remaining ten million accounts for 80%. An Xiaoxi and I paid five million, accounting for 500%. Is there any other company that wants it?" Hao Yun interrupted them.

With Wang Shunliu as the leading male role, Heidou Media will definitely not sit idly by.

"Let's take 20%." Wang Changtian is in urgent need of projects now. He is willing to invest in "Bullfighting" at a loss to make money, let alone "Soldier Assault" which looks pretty good.

"Our Aunt Hua will take the rest." Wang Zhongjun had previously withdrawn his investment from "Soldier Assault", but now he is trying again to take it back, which is also a mysterious operation.

"The other one is a script I wrote. A novel will be published simultaneously. It mainly tells the story of the expeditionary force. I plan to explore why we almost lost our country and why we didn't lose our country..." Compared with Kang Honglei, Hao Yun's words were simpler.

"This is planned to be produced together with "Soldier Assault", right?" Aunt Hua's financial resources are currently focused on making TV series, so she had to ask in detail.

If Hao Yun had not said that he wrote "The Regiment Commander", Wang Zhongjun would probably have only participated in "Soldier Assault".

"Yes, we will produce it together, but please don't worry about the accounts. In addition to the two million from Bayi Film Studio, are there any others who want to contribute?"

Today's meeting is not only about "Soldier Assault" and "The Regiment Commander", and not only about "Bullfighting" which was accidentally "monopolized" by Wang Changtian, but also "Lost on Journey" and "The Message".

So Hao Yun hopes to win quickly and decisively.

I can't drink any more. If I drink any more, we won't be able to do business.
