Director’s Legend

Soon Mr. Raff came over and said that the mayor of Mumbai had invited Shao Shuaijun to dinner. As the commercial center and entertainment center of India, Mumbai has a very high status, which is almost equivalent to the status of Shanghai in China. The mayor of Mumbai has a high political status. How to solve this kidnapping incident depends entirely on how he wants to solve it. .

In other words, it all depends on how the politicians represented by the mayor of Mumbai want to solve it. The mayor is just a cover, and the forces he represents are the masters of Mumbai. The mayor of Mumbai is a curly-haired man in his fifties. He speaks Indian English full of curry flavor. Even Shao Shuaijun can't understand him when he speaks too fast.

Fortunately, this dinner was not only attended by the mayor, but also several city government officials and councilors.

"Mr. Shao, we have seen the news in China. You are the new richest man in China. It is hard to imagine that Mr. Shao has become the richest man in China at such a young age. I don't know that Mr. Shao has been in Mumbai for a while. If you know, you must I will pay a visit in person." The mayor of Mumbai said enthusiastically.

Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "For me, wealth is just a bunch of numbers. There are many companies under my umbrella. I never think about how much money I have. I am very happy that the mayor invited me to the dinner, but my crew is still in Suffering, here is Mumbai, a financial metropolis, a civilized city, I hope the mayor can properly rescue my crew, thank you very much."

The mayor of Mumbai nodded and said: "This is what I should do. We will try our best to resolve it. But Mr. Shao also knows that we have a problem with Pakistan. Pakistanis often sneak into India and engage in various illegal activities. This is a kidnapping case. Most likely it was Pakistan."

Shao Shuaijun was speechless. The Indian government has a very simple and effective way to solve all kinds of dirty things, that is, if something goes wrong and cannot be solved, it will push the matter to Pakistan. These two countries are hostile, and it's too easy to throw dirt on each other and shift the focus.

"Mr. Mayor, you know. I came to Bollywood to make a movie. There is a long-term plan. My team is very optimistic about the development of Bollywood movies. We originally planned to establish a large entertainment company in Mumbai. My company involves China and the United States are two big entertainment countries, and the annual profits and taxes are calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars. We provide countless jobs. One crew can solve the employment problem of hundreds of people. India is also a big entertainment country. Objects to focus on investing in.”

Shao Shuaijun swung the red wine in his glass, red wine was served at various banquets. He also drank a lot, but he still couldn't drink any good red wine. If it wasn't for dressing up in various occasions, he would never touch red wine, and even if he wanted to drink it, he would have to drink it with Sprite.

Before the mayor of Mumbai could speak, a congressman asked with sparkling eyes, "Mr. Shao plans to open a company in Mumbai?"

"Yes, we have plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to participate in the shooting and post-production special effects of Indian films. Bollywood is thriving. As a businessman, it is natural to seek profit, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, the output value of our Bollywood movies is increasing every year. This is definitely a green and pollution-free high-return investment project. We welcome Mr. Shao to invest in Mumbai. If you don't mind, we can talk while eating. It will give Mr. Shao the most favorable investment convenience. This...how does Mr. Shao plan to invest?"

Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "Maybe we will cooperate with a big Bollywood film company, participate in the production of Indian films, and at the same time operate Indian films to the world. You know, my entertainment company, Golden Harvest is the largest entertainment company in China. A Summit Entertainment has become the largest independent production company in North America. My entertainment company is not only involved in the entertainment industry, but also supported by the sunrise industry of the Internet. Summit Entertainment has mastered the largest bib twitter and smartphone software development in the United States. The current capital is Seventeen or eight billion U.S. dollars, once listed, wow, how many times it will be doubled, who knows..."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Shao is a world-class rich man, I think we can discuss the issue of cooperation in depth." The mayor of Mumbai said with a smile.

Shao Shuaijun blinked his eyes: "However, my crew has safety problems now. Although we are profit-seeking, we pay more attention to safety. As a listed company, pleasing shareholders is the top priority, and no one can't guarantee the safety of an employee The company has confidence, what do you think?"

A congressman laughed and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shao, Mumbai is the financial center of Asia. Our development is obvious to all. Under the guidance of democracy and freedom, Mumbai's future is full of expectations. We, the Mumbai City Government, have the obligation and responsibility to guarantee our To protect the personal safety of investors, we will spare no effort to do so.”

...

When Li Xiuxiu flew to Mumbai in the middle of the night, Shao Shuaijun had already negotiated with the Mumbai city government. The entertainment industry is a pillar industry in Mumbai, and it was a huge achievement for this group of officials to be able to negotiate a huge investment. It's not just Chinese officials who need political achievements, it's the same everywhere in the world, especially Mumbai, India.

"Wife, don't you think I'm fine? I'm in the urban area. I either go to hotels, consulates, or police stations and city halls. Where will there be troubles?" Li Xiuxiu was able to come, and Shao Shuaijun was both amused and moved.

Li Xiuxiu gave her a blank look: "Tell me what to say about you, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and India is so chaotic. At the beginning, you insisted on coming here to make a movie, so I endured it. Now that there is such a big danger, why do you still come here?" The underworld, do you know if you have a gun, you can do anything.”

"I'm not going to negotiate with the underworld. No matter how cruel they are, can they greet me?" Shao Shuaijun put his arms around Li Xiuxiu and said with a playful smile.

"I'm not a professional. Don't you know that there are often terrorist activities in Mumbai? There are bombings everywhere. It's terrible."

"I'm afraid you're here too."

"I worry about you!"

Shao Shuaijun kissed Li Xiuxiu on the forehead: "Don't worry, I'm a rich man now, and I have a lot of bodyguards around me. I just had dinner with the mayor of Mumbai. If something happens to me in Mumbai, the mayor should commit suicide and apologize. "

After comforting Li Xiuxiu, I went to the hotel. Mumbai has developed well in recent years. There are several five-star hotels, and this is one. After having another dinner with Li Xiuxiu, we started talking about business.

"How should I say this time, it should be resolved. I have already negotiated with the Mumbai city government. I will invest in a film company in Mumbai and build another building as the headquarters of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group in India. In the future, we will enter the Indian film market in an all-round way. In return, the Mumbai city government will reconcile with the gang of human traffickers and let them leave safely. The crew will be released completely."

"It's solved like this? Isn't it difficult?" Li Xiuxiu wiped her mouth and said.

"It's not difficult at all. As long as you have money, the rules of the world revolve around you. But you haven't seen the ugly state of the Mumbai city government. For them, as long as they have political achievements, it doesn't matter whether the criminal escapes or not. I made an oath before. I will be responsible for the people of Mumbai. I will never let the criminals go. Now, it is not ambiguous at all. It is really... very interesting."

"So socialism is good."

"Haha, yes." Shao Shuaijun also laughed, "Speaking of which, I remembered that people from the Mumbai city government are very proud to say that Mumbai is the financial center of Asia and the best developed city in Asia. I I really don’t know where their confidence comes from. More than half of Mumbai’s population lives in slums. Except for a few places, other places are dirty and messy, so they have the nerve to call themselves the Asian financial center. This time the matter is resolved. I should really invite them to visit Shanghai and see what a real financial center is."

"It's worth a try."

...

With the money offensive, the kidnapping incident was resolved satisfactorily. The Mumbai police lifted the siege on the human traffickers. In the afternoon of the next day, the criminals disappeared completely, and the crew was free. There were no more serious injuries except for a few people who were hit and scratched.

Of course, during the kidnapping process, a lot of precious equipment was broken, but compared with the safety of people, this is nothing.

"Danny, what's your plan now? Although the crew has been rescued, everyone has some emotional problems. Will you continue filming?" Shao Shuaijun found Danny Boyle. When shooting scenes in slums, as long as they are still filming in slums, the danger cannot be ruled out.

Danny said with a wry smile: "A lot of progress has been made in filming. We can't give up because of a little difficulty. I think I will stick to it. If other people in the crew don't want to stay here to work, let them go. If there are not enough people, we will start from Bao. Hollywood added. I will definitely insist on finishing the film."

"Since you insist, I won't say anything more. If you are willing to stay and work, I will pay them double salary, and I have decided to invest in a film company in India. I will send a team over to cooperate with Bollywood. I will discuss with the film company and give you the greatest support. Moreover, I am happy that I still have the title of producer, but the power is handed over to you. You are in charge of this film. My girlfriend does not allow me to continue in India stay."

Shao Shuaijun spread his hands, even though this crisis survived, even though the company wanted to take root in India, Li Xiuxiu still did not agree to Shao Shuaijun staying in India and continuing to be a producer. For her, India is a dangerous country. If Shao Shuaijun stays here for a while, she will not be able to calm down for a while.

"Shao, I want to thank you for trusting me so much. The crew had an accident and it took a huge price to settle it. You also agreed to let me continue filming."

Shao Shuaijun patted Danny on the shoulder: "It's nothing, the biggest thanks for making the movie well."

In Danny Boyle's view, in order to save the film crew, Shao Shuaijun had to invest in Bollywood and sacrificed a lot. But in fact, Shao Shuaijun is just pushing the boat along the way. He originally planned to invest in India. Many Indian films have gone international. The prospect of investing here is very good. And he also knows several blockbuster Indian movies, such as "Bollywood Robot Love", "My Name Is Khan", etc., which are worth investing in.

India has a population of over one billion and will soon overtake China to become the most populous country in the world. With economic development, the movie market will definitely become more and more active, and more and more people will go to movie theaters. India is the country with the largest gap between the rich and the poor in the world, but the society is always progressing, and more and more poor Indians will become rich, and they are all potential customers.

After comforting the crew and actors, under Li Xiuxiu's repeated urging, Shao Shuaijun had to rush back to the hotel, pack up his things and return home. The investment company here will arrange a special manager to take over.

Before leaving, Shao Shuaijun maliciously invited the mayor of Mumbai to visit Shanghai if he had time, hoping that he could understand what a real Asian financial center is like.

A crisis is over.

After leaving India, Shao Shuaijun lived a life of seclusion again, disappearing from public view. Even if he went to the crew of "imax-3d Yupu Tuan", he couldn't keep Shao Shuaijun's appearance. Shao Shuaijun has gained countless envy and hatred from the Hurun Report. Countless entertainment reporters and financial reporters are looking forward to interviewing him.

So Shao Shuaijun hid wisely and went to Europe.

His purpose in coming to Europe is very simple, that is to learn how to fly a plane. He has already customized an A380 passenger plane in Airbus, and Dream Chasing Entertainment Group has also customized an A380. As the buyer of the two passenger planes, Shao Shuaijun has been treated like a king in Airbus.

Someone accompanied him to learn how to fly a plane.

Learning to drive a mainframe is just for fun, what he really wants to learn is to drive small planes and helicopters.

For him, driving a luxury car and a sports car is the game of the rich second generation. As a rich generation, as the richest man in China, as a dignitary with taste, only airplanes and yachts can represent his identity.

Accompanying Shao Shuaijun was a team of assistants led by Zhang Huahua, and a team of bodyguards led by several trusted bodyguards. It is these bodyguards who really want to learn how to fly a plane. Let Shao Shuaijun fly a plane once in a while, and he will be happy. Every time he comes to fly a plane, this is not an enjoyment but a torture.

Big people should be flying seriously, enjoying food, bathing, and being surrounded by beautiful women, instead of tossing around in a small cockpit.

"This button controls the opening and closing of the cabin door, and this button provides emergency calls..." On the indoor simulator, the flight instructor directed meticulously.

"Okay, I know everything. I'm familiar with airplanes. Now I'm going to drive." Shao Shuaijun rubbed his palms excitedly, put on the simulation helmet, and started to fly the simulator.

Less than half a minute later, the plane on the big screen crashed into a mountain and crashed.

"Wow, is this joystick malfunctioning? No matter how I lift it, I can't climb up." Shao Shuaijun blinked and asked blushing.

"In fact, there is a button here, which is a switch to control the vertical climb. You must turn it on to climb. As we have said just now, you have already failed once because of this in the previous simulated flight."

"Really?" Shao Shuaijun was stunned for three seconds, and then took off his helmet, "Actually, I am really familiar with airplanes, I often...fly by plane, really...let's rest for a while, I feel that I am a little Dizzy."

The instructor smiled and said, "Okay...Mr. Shao, I have watched your films "Inception", "Source Code", "Painted Skin" and "500 Days with Summer" which is currently being screened. My daughter is very excited. I like you, can I get an autograph for her?"

"certainly."

You can't fly a plane, but you can still sign your name. (to be continued..)
