Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 477 June (23)

"They said you also use big data for predictions?"

"What?"

At eight o'clock in the morning, Shen Yan was having breakfast with Shi Shi. While scrolling through her phone, the latter asked a question.

Shi Shi explained, and handed over her phone: "Big data... They said you use big data to predict things before making movies."

"...Who said that?"

Goodness, he's a Weibo influencer...

What's it called, 'Crow Watching Movies'...

The title is 'Big Data + Film: The Secret to Spark Studio's Success!'

"Neuropathy!"

Shen Yan shook his head, too lazy to read any further, and simply said, "This person probably got paid..."

"Whose money are you taking?"

Who wants to hype up big data?

Shi Shi paused for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "It must be a company that has built a so-called big data model... So what kind of company would build a big data model?"

"...An internet company?"

“Exactly!” Shen Yan shrugged, then said, “Major internet companies aren’t content with just building platforms; they also want to control content production…”

Shi Shi asked curiously, "...Is big data really useful?"

"I don't know... but it should be of some reference value!"

"Do you believe it?"

"I... I definitely don't believe it, but I believe in Netflix... I bought $1000 million worth of Netflix stock..."

Why are you buying stocks again?

"...I can't just keep my money in the bank, can I?"

Shi Shi thought for a moment, then said, "I heard them say that I could invest in restaurants and coffee shops..."

"The gym also has a beauty salon... Oh right, and art exam training too, right?"

"...How did you know?"

Shen Yan rolled his eyes: "What kind of investment plan could they possibly have?"

"So what have you invested in?"

"I make movies, TV series...animation, and have a special effects company...all of which require money!"

"You also invest in visual effects companies?"

Shen Yan nodded: "I want to make a special effects blockbuster, and I need the support of special effects companies... I don't trust others to do it, so I'll just invest in a few myself..."

"Can I invest?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll register a company, and you'll hold 40% of the shares. Then, for every film in the Folklore Film Universe, our company will hold a 10% investment!"

"How much does that cost?"

"Give me twenty million first!"

"Oh well."

She nodded slowly... and agreed immediately.

……

In fact, when celebrities invest, they usually choose real estate!
This trend was brought over by Hong Kong actors.

There's a saying in Hong Kong: "House matters are more important than anything else..."

Regardless of whether the housing market rises or falls, it cannot dampen their enthusiasm for buying property.

Whether they are celebrities or ordinary people.

"Buying bricks is more reliable!" "Celebrities fade, but bricks never change!"

Hong Kong celebrities generally share a common awareness: while they are young and have income, they should convert their money into real estate to prepare for their retirement.

For a time, Hong Kong stars truly earned their money through hard work, so they were extremely cautious about how to manage it. Compared to the stock market's silent, dramatic decline, investing in real estate clearly offered a greater sense of security…

Then they brought this habit to the mainland!

Later, the term "angel investment" became popular, and a group of wealthy celebrities became angel investors, forming so-called Star VC, Giant Cultural and Creative Industry Fund, Mingjia Capital, AB Capital, and even Lu Han's Qinghan Fund...

It's basically just following a group of investment institutions to co-invest... After all, celebrities have fame, so they can get along well in the investment circle!

Then, Jia Yueting taught the celebrities a lesson—he reaped the benefits from 19 celebrities who invested in Jia Yueting's Le Vision Film Industry, but ultimately suffered heavy losses, ranging from several million to hundreds of millions!

Among them, Liu Tao probably suffered the most…

Personal investment of 6000 million!
Then there was the 500 from Deng Chao and Sun Li.

In addition, many celebrities, including Sun Honglei, Zhang Yimou, Huang Xiaoming, Li Xiaolu, Zhou Xun, Wang Baoqiang, and Jia Nailiang, have also invested a considerable amount of money…

Jia Yueting sincerely told all the celebrities: Investment involves risks, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry!

However, after 2020, the economy slowed down, a film and television industry downturn arrived, and capital stopped pouring into the industry so aggressively…

Even celebrities aren't having an easy time...

Ren Quan, who was once touted as an investment legend, has also been included in the enforcement list, which means he is a defaulter!

The so-called investment gurus only relied on the era and celebrity status, including connections and exploiting loopholes through insider information...

They can't compare to the White House stock market guru!

After all, even Buffett had to write a book overnight titled "On Stock Trading, I'm Like a Rookie in Front of Him!"
Ahem...

Let Yan Ge help Shi Shi invest her money...

It's better than the original timeline where Ji Da invested blindly and had to make a comeback at 40 to support her family!

She has invested in nearly 20 companies; however, given the unfavorable overall economic environment, these investments have not brought her substantial returns, but have instead dragged her down.

By the way, Shen Yan came to Shanghai mainly for the tour... he only stayed for a week, and then went to Hangzhou.

Shishi stayed with him for five days before leaving.

She went to film "Nirvana in Fire"...

She played Princess Nihuang, a role with few scenes, but she was still the female lead.

The "Nirvana in Fire" project is a joint production of Xinghuo Studio and Shandong Film & Television, directed by Kong Sheng, and starring Hu Ge…

Shi Shi quite likes the character of Princess Nihuang, a king of a different surname who guards the border!

Of course, this character setting is unrealistic: raising 100,000 heavy cavalry in Yunnan, and having a king of a different surname... and still not being dealt with... it can only be said that Emperor Liang was brain-dead.

Damn it, with 100,000 heavy cavalry, the emperor still wants to find her a husband?

Logically, it doesn't work...

But TV dramas don't need to be so logical...

Shishi liked it, so she took the picture!

There's no rush with "Legend of Fei," it should start filming next year, mainly waiting for Shen Yan's availability...

……

On June 8th, Shen Yan arrived in Nanjing…

After communicating with the local company responsible for the performance, I prepared to return to the hotel to rest.

Then, Chen Xu told him, "The film 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' has invited us to its premiere!"

Are you sure they invited me?

"...An invitation from Chairman Han!"

Shen Yan shook his head: "...I'm not going. I don't have time. I have to rehearse tomorrow."

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains," a super terrible film that will go down in film history, Shen Yan... has no interest in it...

Knowing it's a bad movie, why would you still want to watch it?
As for Lin Zhiling's costume show... it's better to watch Teacher Bodo instead.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu immediately jumped out of the "Switch" genre and started the next topic: "We have to go to the Shanghai International Film Festival, right? Our 'Fame and Fortune' is the opening film of this year's festival..."

"Wow... the Shanghai International Film Festival is giving us this much face?"

"Um…"

“Then let’s go…” Shen Yan nodded, then asked, “Who is the chairman of the jury this year?”

“It seems to be Tom Hooper…” Chen Xu asked curiously, “Why are you asking about that?”

"...Let's see if we have a chance to win an award... Tom Hooper is a British director, best known for 'The King's Speech'..."

Chen Xu interrupted him directly: "We didn't make it into the main competition!"

"Not shortlisted? Then... oh, just a screening?"

"Correct!"
