Chapter 350. [Empire Map](2/2)
Listening to them tell their experiences, you can never imagine that this happened to two children. But when you see the wounds on their legs that were bitten by dogs, the marks of being beaten, and the age-related expression on their faces,
An extremely disproportionate look, you'll know. It's all true!
In the past, Yi Feiyang only used many stories about Indian slums as material for film shooting, thinking that what he heard were the creations of others and embellished stories. But now he knows that these stories turned out to be real things that happened.
After listening to the words of the little brothers Salim and Jamal, it was already dark, and Yi Feiyang knew that he had to leave.
Obviously, Salim and Jamal were reluctant to leave this "guest" who came to their home for the first time and insisted on keeping him for dinner.
Yi Feiyang knew that the little food in their house might not be enough for him to eat. Otherwise, Jamal wouldn't steal the cake.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Emma who came in.
In fact, Emma's house is near Jamal's house. When Yi Feiyang came here as a guest, the news had already reached her ears. She had been paying attention to Yi Feiyang's movements. Seeing that it was getting dark, she knew that Jamal
There was nothing to eat at home, so I came over and got curry rice.
Yi Feiyang didn't expect Emma to bring food, so he wanted to refuse, but he saw two little guys behind him, Salim and Jamal, already drooling over the curry rice.
Helpless, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to stay and eat.
I have to say that Emma's cooking skills are very good. At least this authentic curry chicken rice gave Yifeiyang a taste of a slightly special diet.
Unfortunately, the food was too little. After Salim and Jamal finished their portions, they could only watch Yi Feiyang eat with greedy eyes.
Yi Feiyang felt uncomfortable being stared at like this, so he pushed his share over, "You guys eat, I'm full."
"Really? Can we?" Shalim looked at Yi Feiyang and then at Emma. It wasn't until Emma nodded that the two little guys frantically grabbed the plates and started eating.
Seeing them eating so deliciously, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but smile.
"Well, Mr. Yi, why did you come to this slum?" Emma couldn't help but asked when she saw Yi Feiyang laughing at the two little brothers.
"Oh, I'm planning to shoot a movie here, so I came to check out the venue and select some actors." Yi Feiyang said casually.
"Oh, that's it." Emma sounded a little disappointed. Originally, she thought that Yi Feiyang came here because of her, but it turned out that he came here to make a movie.
Just when Emma was disappointed, Yi Feiyang suddenly said, "Emma, do you want to act?"
"Ah, what?" Emma couldn't help but be stunned.
"I mean, would you like to play a role in my play? Well, specifically, it's the role of the heroine when she grows up..."
In fact, Yi Feiyang suddenly discovered that the Emma in front of him has the potential to be an actress. Not to mention her sweet appearance and charming temperament, just that she grew up in this place and her experience was almost exactly the same as that of the heroine. Yi Feiyang really couldn't think of anything else.
, who else is suitable for this role besides her.
Emma was obviously moved by Yi Feiyang's words, "Really, I can... act?"
You know, the reason why Emma did that in the hotel before and took the initiative to devote herself to Yi Feiyang was just to gain his favor, become an actor, and change her destiny.
The dream that was originally shattered suddenly came true, which was a great surprise for her.
"If you are willing, you can sign a contract with our company... As for the remuneration, we will discuss it carefully with you then." Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"Yes, of course I am willing!" Emma was extremely excited. "Even if I don't get paid, I am willing to shoot, yes, absolutely willing!"
"Oh, I'm not the kind of capitalist who exploits people. I must be paid!"
Looking back, Yi Feiyang looked at Salim and Jamal. The two brothers were licking the last few grains of curry rice.
"Jamal, Salim, let me ask you, are you willing to eat such delicious curry rice every day in the future?!" Yi Feiyang likes these two boys very much, not only because they are "poor children become rich early"
That maturity is coupled with the appreciation that two brothers depend on each other to support each other.
"Of course, sir!" The two little guys' eyes shone with hope. "If we can have a full stomach, we can do whatever you want!"
Yi Feiyang smiled "hehe" and asked: "Do you like movies?"
"I like it, I like it!" It was Jamal who spoke, "I know Bollywood. And Hollywood!"
Salim's eyes also showed joy.
"Well, that's good. If I told you that there is a movie that will let you be actors, would you like it?" Yi Feiyang asked.
Jamal and Salim looked at each other, and then nodded fiercely towards Yi Feiyang.
…
The recruitment of actors for "Slumdog Millionaire" went very smoothly. Especially when selecting extras, those living in the slums heard that as long as they were willing to participate in the show, they could get a reward of 3 US dollars a day, which is equivalent to more than 200 rupees. It's really amazing.
Ah, this is incredible, you know, it is very difficult to earn 10 rupees in the slums.
Attracted by such a "generous" reward, people in the entire slum went crazy, so much so that the crew of "Millionaire" was overcrowded.
Yi Feiyang did not expect that the situation would be like this. He originally thought that the 3 US dollars offered was too little. You must know that even an extra in the United States can earn dozens of dollars an hour, and it is inevitable that he will pay hundreds of dollars in a day.
But now... poor people in India are still easily satisfied.
It seems that all the personnel are basically in place. The young actors of the protagonist Jamal, Salim, and the adult actors have also been selected, and they are waiting for the approval from the Film Directorate of India to officially start filming.
But as mentioned before, things are very slow in India, especially government workers. There is a joke once said that an Indian man and woman registered for marriage. Because of the delay in obtaining the certificate, after the marriage certificate was obtained, their
The child is already one year old.
Yi Feiyang was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the Film Administration of India and complained to the Film Association of India. The answer was that it was a matter of the government and not under the control of our association. The meaning was very clear. The Film Association of India is a non-governmental organization.
The General Administration belongs to the government. If the people do not fight with the officials, you can decide what to do on your own.
Before coming to India, Yi Feiyang often asked people to stuff things for people from the film association, but when things got here, no one came forward to help. It made Yi Feiyang see the ingratitude of Indians, or that they eat other people's food without doing anything.
The face of a businessman.
But the movie still had to be shot. At this time, a guy from the Indian Film Association who at least had some conscience stood up and told Yi Feiyang that the reason why they were delaying in approving the filming documents was because the Indian government wanted to protect their Bollywood movies.
, the Against Them Hollywood movie.
Yi Feiyang understood, damn, it turned out to be local protectionism!
"So how can we get them to quickly approve the documents?" Yi Feiyang asked.
"It's very simple. If you can cooperate with a Bollywood film company, you can get the approval very smoothly."
"Cooperation? Why cooperation?" Yi Feiyang smiled, then looked at the metropolis of Mumbai, India, with his hands behind his back, and then said a very frivolous remark, "Why don't you just acquire a company directly?"
…
In the next few days, Yi Feiyang used lightning power to directly spend huge sums of money to acquire a medium-sized film company in Bollywood in India. Although it was only a medium-sized film company that was acquired, it triggered a "crying wolf" in the Indian film industry.
the voice of.
In the eyes of many Indian filmmakers, Yi Feiyang, the Hollywood wolf from the United States, is already full of threats.
Yes, serious threat!
He easily spent 1.5 billion US dollars to acquire an Indian film company. Who can match such courage?!
In fact, how did these Indian guys know that Yi Feiyang had long had the idea of expanding his film empire in East Asia, but now it was just a coincidence that he acted on it.
What's more, for a large company like Fantasy Entertainment, the most abundant thing is cash flow. Not to mention $1.5 billion in one go, even $3 billion is possible!
As for money, Yi Feiyang no longer takes it seriously. The reason is that when you had no money before, you found it difficult to make money, but when you have more and more money, you will find that money is getting easier and easier to make. Now Fantasy Entertainment
The various companies controlled by it, such as Google, Vita Digital, Hilton Hotels, Trump Real Estate Company, etc., can almost all describe their huge profits as "making money every day".
The more money you make, the more you will understand that all this money is meant to be spent!
