Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Building a small cinema is a long-term project, and I am afraid that the final management rights of this thing will still have to be given to Wang Jinghua. This kind of business is really inconsistent with the temperament of the laboratory.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo has no real plans to run a theater chain. In the end, this thing is related to entertainment. He just sells equipment.

Wang Xu had no experience in how to build, how to build, and how to operate such a particularly small cinema, so everyone could only discuss it. The only thing Wang Xu can guarantee is that even if the theater does not make money, it will be able to recover the cost and still make money after the housing prices rise in a few years, but it may take a long time.

But it would be boring to start a real estate business. He really didn't like playing with real estate, unless it was for his and Wang Fei's pension money, such as the building he wanted to build in Changping.

The Cinema City has recently attracted a lot of people to inspect it, mainly people from Hong Kong. "The Matrix" set off a movie-watching craze in Hong Kong, and they went all the way to break records. If it weren't for the various hidden boycotts of Xiangjiang Cinema, it might have been a long time ago. Record breaking.

But none of this affects the filmmakers in Xiangjiang’s intention to follow suit. The first thing they do is to set up a project, and then many directors go north to investigate. No one has ever made a science fiction film. The computer special effects in Xiangjiang can only produce two lasers at most. Since the mainland can do it , then let’s see how to do it first.

Xu Ke's phone calls haven't stopped recently. Not only him, but all the members of the "Matrix" project team have become popular recently, even if he is just an ordinary martial arts instructor who works as a stand-in and Ravia in the Mainland. , all kinds of banquets now require reservations.

There is no way, there are only a few well-known film companies in Hong Kong, but in fact, in the mid-1990s, there were hundreds of registered film companies in Hong Kong. Although many companies did not produce films every year, many of them actually produced films. Category III movies and the like.

But there are only twenty or thirty film companies that can actually start production, and many of them even specialize in making customized films for Southeast Asian countries. These films are Hong Kong films, but the cost is extremely low, and many of them are low-quality follow-on productions.

The actors are all found blindly, and the scale is very wide. They are mainly used to fill the garbage time slots in Southeast Asian theaters. I have to say that the heyday of Xiangjiang movies is now. It has really reached the point where you can sell whatever you shoot.

The success of "The Matrix" undoubtedly opened the door to another genre film. Hong Kong people do not have any real science fiction soil. The science fiction there is basically metaphysics in the end, such as the famous "Wesley" series. It's a science fiction genre, but in the end it was more like an adventure genre, and ended up being hastily blamed on aliens.

Of course, this type of science fiction film is not uncommon in Ugly Country. After all, not everyone has enough science fiction literacy and can interpret many things from a scientific perspective, so it is a good choice to ultimately recommend it to aliens.

Anyway, this is how the big manufacturers take pictures. If aliens exist, it’s not a problem for me to use them.

This is why science fiction movies are not really strictly divided. Many times, they are judged together with fantasy movies. For example, the famous Saturn Awards are judged together with science fiction and fantasy. The only division is in the best film. In the selection, science fiction and fantasy were separated.

However, it is often difficult to distinguish between these two types of films. After all, it is difficult to say whether many ideas are science or metaphysics.

Therefore, physical characteristics are generally used to describe it simply. If there is technological equipment that surpasses modern times, it is a science fiction movie. If not, it is a fantasy movie.

As for the ones in Xiangjiang, it doesn’t matter. They were popular in science fiction during this period, so what I shot was science fiction, and the light emitted from my hand was a laser. If fantasy is popular during this period, then what I am emitting is inner energy, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The most admirable thing about Xiangjiang Movies is their ability to act. After watching "The Matrix" the day before, I found a relationship to treat the crew members to dinner that night and inquired about the details. The next day I was able to contact Wang Chao Studio for cooperation and visit Or something like that, and then immediately buy a ticket to fly to the imperial capital.

There are even people who fly over directly to find people. As long as they can make money, they are really very involved.

Although Wang Jinghua did not expect that Xiangjiang customers would come to visit on the third day of the screening, she immediately arranged for people from the business department to receive, visit, and promote one-stop services.

There is a ready-made science fiction street, a ready-made green screen studio, high-tech Wi-Fi, fully digital post-production, and a complete set of physical and computer special effects production institutions. Whatever you want to do, I can do it here at a reasonable price. Cheaper than Xiangjiang.

We have one-stop service to find everything from costumes and makeup props to extras and extras to models and beauty vases.

Even if there are not enough photographers and actors, I can help you find them. As long as you come to shoot, tell me what you are missing, and I will solve it for you.

Our main focus is a full range of services for filmmaking. If you really invest several million and want to make a big investment, then it’s no problem. We can even take care of the crew management for you.

To be honest, everything directed by Xiangjiang is workshop-style, with a model of finding friends and relationships. When starting work, a master comes with two apprentices. In addition to several major film companies, there are also some behind-the-scenes teams of their own, and the rest are all temporary. Group team.

And Wang Xu's place has been pursuing industrialization from the beginning, and now wages in the mainland are low. Apart from anything else, with the money earned from this movie, it will be no problem to support this team for ten years.

Therefore, Wang Jinghua maintained the team during the "Matrix" era very steadily and step by step. When something happened, she would start working, and when nothing happened, she would work on technology. It was as simple as that. Not only would she not disband the team after the movie, she would also continue to absorb and Recruit talent.

Most of the follow-up films in Xiangjiang have very small investments, ranging from a million to one hundred thousand, and some are even only a few hundred thousand, but Wang Jinghua doesn't care, since the prices here are clearly marked anyway, and they are much cheaper than those in Xiangjiang without discounts.

The director of Xiangjiang inspected it and seemed quite excited. Wang Jinghua estimated that before "The Matrix" is finished, there will be several crews starting work here.

After the filming of "The Matrix" was completed, Wang Jinghua started to work on Fengqing Street again. The reason was Wang Xu's complaint that he had to go abroad if he wanted to film a foreign style.

So, anyway, the place here is still big. Our British style, ugly country style, Gallic style, and classical style can all be spread on one street. What a big deal.

Therefore, the construction of Fengqing Street has never stopped. The physical effects and construction departments are planning street scenes in different countries. They are all modern scenes. If you want to take pictures of exotic scenes, you can come here.

As for the long shot, that would be easier to handle. Isn't there a computer special effects department? Wang Xu has already arranged some work to shoot high-definition materials. Just change it if needed.

Wang Jinghua even found a foreigner to be the leader of the group, and opened a special studio to do the business of part-time foreign actors. If you need me, I will help you find him. White, black, and other races are all fine.

Anyway, as long as you bring the director and actors over, and the funds are in place, work can start here directly, and the main focus is a full range of services.

The nearby government has begun to attract investment, and has made arrangements for supporting catering, hotel services, etc. The Changping County Government even organized a private viewing of the movie "The Matrix" to let everyone see what was filmed on their own territory. Sample.

Then naturally I was shocked. Don’t care whether you understand it or not, this thing can be exchanged for money in the future. This is everyone’s simple understanding. If you can make one of these films, you can make a second one. Huairou's show focuses on nostalgia, while our show focuses on modernity and the future. There are many more fashion dramas than historical dramas.

Changping is not a district yet, but a county, which means that it is actually on the edge of the imperial capital and has a large agricultural population. When choosing a place for Wang Xu, he specifically chose the foot of the mountain with little arable land.

This area was mainly a place where rocks were excavated in the past. The excavation took many years, probably starting in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the stones were supplied for the construction of the imperial city and city walls.

Later, the stones were almost excavated, but the quarrying left too many pits, and the ground was full of gravel, making it unsuitable for farming. Therefore, it remained abandoned for several years, with only a few weeds and few trees.

The military shooting range is set up in this area, which can be said to be related to the desolation here. When this place becomes lively in the future, the shooting range will probably have to be moved, and it is still a bit dangerous.

No one today can imagine how exaggerated housing prices in this area will be in the future. Everyone is busy with the present and will talk about the future later.

According to Wang Xu's instructions, when Wang Jinghua communicated with the district government, she specially planned a community nearby to serve as low-cost rental housing. Wang Xu knew how poor those young people who came here with dreams to look for opportunities would be, at least. We must leave a soil for them to survive.

Wang Xu never doubted the dreams of young people. Although most people's ideals later failed to achieve reality, the ideals were still beautiful. Although they were poor, they pursued their dreams with high morale. It may have been the midnight of a middle-aged uncle. Dreams of tears.

And he is willing to do something to protect this ideal, just like now that he has built a new building, he still retains the tradition of housing various wandering artists.

I bought a piece of land next to the original courtyard and planned to build a dormitory building with public toilets, public kitchens, and public bathrooms. The rooms are very small, with bunk beds.

This is not for people who already have an income, but for people who really have nothing and are still looking for their dreams.

When you have income and have established a foothold in the imperial capital, you will naturally pursue a better life, and then this place will naturally not be suitable for you. This is a youth hostel and an art home, but it is not a shelter.

Now Wang Jinghua is in charge of this place. Wang Xu hasn't dealt with those homeless people directly for a long time. Even Leng Jun and Huang Bo have moved away. They don't leave too far now, but rent in a nearby residential building.

He consciously made room for the newcomers. Zou Xun now has a very good relationship with Li Yu and Luo Qi. They are similar in age and have easy to get along with. They often sleep together with Luo Qi.

This is also a little girl. She follows Luo Qi everywhere and calls her godmother. Aunt Jiang and Wang Xu’s mother also like this quirky little girl. She is beautiful and her eyes seem to be able to talk.

Therefore, Wang Xu's mother vacated the old house for her to live in. Oh, it was Wang Xu's mother's original room.

Now the old couple is used to living in a small building, and it is indeed much more convenient here. Once they get used to it, they really won't be able to go back to the big courtyard.

Li Yu's family will soon be moving. Their family's recent income is quite high, whether it's Aunt Jiang's soup or Li Yu's performance, which gives them the ability to move out.

Uncle Li used to sigh all day long. Although he was a small leader of the folk art troupe, the folk art troupe is in a recession now. The construction of the new dormitory building has been postponed. Moving has to rely on his wife who will be a housewife for the rest of her life. As a man, he naturally Very frustrated.

Wang Xu then helped him find a job. It was Wang Xu who bought an old yard next to Dongsi and opened a somewhat special shop.

During the day, it is a teahouse, selling snacks and snacks from the old imperial capital. On the small stage, relatively quiet programs such as sanxian, storytelling, drums, cross talk, etc. are performed.

After six o'clock in the evening, there is the old Imperial Tavern. The flag at the door has been changed, and they now sell Imperial Old Wine, a kind of white wine that can be drunk hot, and then there are some relatively lively programs on the stage.

This thing was initially co-organized with a folk art troupe. Wang Xu just wanted to get involved with the folk art troupe, but he didn't expect it to make any money. Now there are so many guests coming and going, so it would be nice to have a place with local characteristics to entertain them.

But in fact, this teahouse or tavern is not in the traditional style of the imperial capital, especially the tables, chairs and benches. Instead, chairs are made as comfortable as possible.

Although the style is still the same as that of the late Qing Dynasty, they are all Taishi chairs with backrests, and cushions and backrests are added in accordance with today's people's habits.

Strictly speaking, this thing is not something placed in the teahouse, but in the main room. The teahouses in the old imperial capital all use stools, the kind without backrests, and the lower-end ones are simply stools, the kind that two people can sit on.

But how can modern people stand that? Without a chair back, no guests would sit down and listen to music. Therefore, even if we talk about tradition, we must also talk about change, and what needs to be changed must still be changed.

The leaders there also understood what Wang Xu meant. They said it was a cooperative operation, but in fact it was all Wang Xu's money. It was just in the name of their folk art troupe. They sent people to perform and paid them, so the management was completely handed over. I gave it to Uncle Li, and his position was manager.

In terms of administrative level, this is a unit directly under the performing arts troupe, and it is also a unit that can make money, so naturally it needs to be assigned a deputy director.

In this way, Uncle Li's level was slightly raised by half a level, officially crossing the threshold of the department level, and he was actually on the same level as Wang Xu.

This shop is running well under Uncle Li's hands, and it's not losing money anyway. There are a lot of overseas people coming here now. It's a place like this to see the local characteristics, take some special photos, and you can brag about it when you go back.

Uncle Li is a kind-hearted person and is very good at observing people's emotions. In fact, he is very suitable for this kind of business. He is much better than managing logistics before.

After running it for a period of time, Wang Xu saw that the business was on the right track, and that Uncle Li was also running smoothly and the revenue was acceptable, so he donated the shop completely to the performing arts troupe and left on his own.

There is not much money inside and outside, and for Wang Xu now, it is simply drizzle.

Wang Xu grew up playing there, and he knew a lot of uncles, aunts, and aunts there. This can be regarded as a reward.

Although the profit of this shop is not much, it is better than the voluntary performances of the folk art troupe. It can support a lot of people, especially young people. It can make a living by getting some extra money.

These days are not easy for anyone, especially those in old units, which are becoming increasingly unsatisfactory.

The folk art troupe will definitely not break up, but there are very few new people joining now. The declining situation is still very worrying, but even Wang Xu has no good solution. This thing really does not please young people, no Where does the market come from?

To be protected as a cultural heritage means that although there is no such term as cultural heritage at the moment, it is protected. In fact, it means that this thing is really useless.

It's really impossible to develop by relying on saving and feelings. If you protect it like this first, you can have a inheritance to some extent. Just don't completely cut off the roots.

Maybe one day, young people will be interested again, maybe, haven’t you seen that imperial ditty in later generations, wasn’t it also popular for a while?

Wang Xu can't control too many people, but he will never be stingy with neighbors, old workplaces, etc., who can help. It's fate that we know each other, let alone knowing each other for more than 20 years.

As for Wang Xu's parents, Wang Xu really doesn't have to worry about them. Not to mention that they still have shares in three companies, and their own levels are not low either.

Although Wang Xu's mother has been criticized by Mr. Luo all day long for being incompetent, she is also one of the pillars of the folk art troupe. She is a national second-level actress and has great reputation in the troupe.

Wang Xu's father, let alone Wang Xuchou, is the chief engineer of a key workshop of a very large state-owned enterprise. He has long had a senior technical title, but Wang Xu has not yet received it.

Wang Xu's father got married late and his wife is young, so Wang Xu, who was only married when he was twenty-seven, is already on his way to fifty and will soon be counting the days to retire.

Wang Xu's mother is young. She is seven years younger than Wang Xu's father. She is only in her early forties this year. She is naturally beautiful and has always taken good care of herself. In the past two years, Wang Xu has been doing various treatments and looks a little better. It feels like a beautiful woman.

The situation with Wang Fei's mother is similar. She has been doing well recently. She has a good relationship with her in-laws, especially Wang Xu's mother. She is also familiar with Aunt Jiang's family, so she comes to visit from time to time.

No matter how prosperous and lively Wang Xu and Wang Fei are outside, the middle-aged parents of the two families still live a peaceful life, and the two families move around each other more frequently than Wang Xu.

From time to time, they go shopping together. The two middle-aged women seem to have found the feeling of best friends. This is really an interesting change.
