Chapter 422 Confession
This time "Art Life" is still very honorable, so we invited Rong Guang as a guest. This program is also a top talk show, especially in the art circle, which proves that you are already a recognized artist. But usually a few will be invited
Inviting a guest as a guest further proves your status in the circle. So in a way, this is also a very high honor.
But on the other hand, you can't talk randomly here, and you need to be more relaxed with your words. You can't make casual remarks, and of course you can't talk nonsense. Otherwise, it will be easy to die directly, and then you will play big tricks.
Therefore, Rong Guang changed his previous style and told the truth in everything he said. However, such simple words were refreshing, and the host Zhu Jun quickly got into the mood.
The two of them talked about Rong Guang's past experiences, some artistic insights, life and views on life, etc.
It was almost halfway through the time, and Zhu Jun suddenly asked: "Rong Guang, I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask?"
"Ask me! I'm quite shameless." Rong Guang joked. Since it's a show, it definitely needs to be exciting and there will be some more exciting questions.
"Rong Guang, no one will deny your achievements in film art. But is your other identity a businessman? I heard that you have been ranked among the richest people in mainland China?"
Rong Guang laughed: "I think you have a misunderstanding. You seem to be speculating on this matter. I will take this opportunity to explain to you the components of my property."
"Is it convenient?" Zhu Jun was surprised. He didn't expect Rong Guang to be so cheerful.
"There's nothing to say." Rong Guang also wanted to find an opportunity to clarify. To prevent some people from getting pinkeye, they would make up some messy jokes, "My property basically consists of these parts. One part is the director and
An actor's income includes salary, endorsements, etc. Since I am relatively successful in Hollywood, I generally follow Hollywood standards. Compared with domestic prices, this is indeed much higher, but it is also the market price and my personal commercial value.
Is it a reflection of that? But if there is a good script in China, I am also willing to direct or star in it, and I will charge a friendly price. And I can also get customers for free. Of course, the script must be good!"
Zhu Jun nodded, understanding Rong Guang's statement, and this was Rong Guang's normal income.
"The other part is copyright income. Since overseas copyright income is basically divided into shares. I have been lucky enough to write several works, and they were all very popular overseas, so the income from this part is relatively high."
Zhu Jun also nodded, this is also a very reasonable income.
Rong Guang continued: "The other part, even I can't understand."
"Are you confused?" Zhu Jun asked with a smile.
"Yes! Let me introduce it to you! At that time, I got several million in copyright income from Hollywood for "Add a Long Shot". In order to reasonably avoid taxes, I need to invest or consume in North America. What is the content of investment or consumption?
?Open a company, buy stocks and bonds, invest in real estate, buy a yacht, a private jet, etc.”
"I don't know how to do business, and I definitely can't open a company. And I'm basically in China, so investing in real estate is meaningless. As for buying a yacht and a private jet? It's only a few million dollars, which may not even be enough. Then
There are only stocks and bonds. But I don’t understand it at all? So when the securities broker asked me, I suddenly thought - didn’t I buy Apple stocks in "Forrest Gump"?"
"Really?" Zhu Jun said with a smile, "Did you learn stock trading from "Forrest Gump"?"
"Yes! Not only you, but also my securities broker is confused. He thought my IQ was the same as Forrest Gump."
While laughing, Zhu Jun continued to ask: "What about the others?"
"It's quite simple. At that time, the domestic box office was not good, so I wanted to find a way out of the box office, and finally became interested in game peripherals. When I discovered that NetEase is better at game development, and I happened to get "Parasite"
", so I bought NetEase's shares. As for Penguin? I'll save some face for Ma Huateng! There is a very interesting story in it, but I will never tell it. If you are interested, just ask him!
It’s a bit of a coincidence anyway.”
"Yeah?"
"Yes! But there are two other factors. One is the personalities of Ma Huateng and Ding Sanshi. Their personalities are relatively close to mine. It can be said that we have similar personalities! They are more focused on the Internet, and I am more focused on making movies. They are both.
That kind of person is down-to-earth, so I chose trust. On the other hand, I bought Apple stocks and was laughed at behind my back. I will always learn a little bit, right? Including the character I played in "Parasite", he is also an Internet boss.
.This also includes buying these two stocks.”
"Haha, so that's what it is?"
"Also. In our life and work, sometimes we need to communicate with the public. Generally speaking, we go on programs, press conferences, accept interviews..., but if we do this for some things, it seems to be a bit of a fuss. But the need for communication
It’s still there, but it always feels inconvenient and seems to lack a channel.”
"Yeah." Zhu Jun said he understood what Rong Guang meant.
"Because of this motivation and my previous knowledge of the Internet, I found that there was no similar Internet company, so I started Putian Weibo. Unexpectedly, this idea was very successful, and later it was spotted by venture capital investors.
So I went to Silicon Valley and copied that OldK. This is a startup where the demand comes."
“Is demand the main priority?”
"That's right! In fact, the demand has always been there. I believe that there will definitely be someone who can do better than me in the future."
"Is there anything else?"
"Hao Meow Meow, I won't go into details. You should all understand. I couldn't bear to see tens of thousands of migrant workers unemployed and unpaid, so I was forced to take over that company. I didn't expect that my employees were quite capable. Now I am so good Meow Meow
It's not bad. But every boy has an animation dream. Even the name of my company is called Xiongbaizhi. So I introduced animation elements to Good Meow Meow. The last one is Maotai. This one is even simpler. I received
The first product placement was for Moutai. It was in "Add a Long Shot". Then I happened to see Moutai listed on the market, so I bought some."
"Huh?" Zhu Jun showed a surprised expression again, "Is that the reason? You didn't lie to us, did you?"
