Of course, from Chen Peisi's perspective, Ning Weimin's attitude undoubtedly seems more sincere.

You must know that the mainland film industry has been implementing a unified purchasing and marketing policy since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and market profits have always been controlled by China Film.

As a production unit that shoots movies, it is making more and more losses. No matter how good the box office is, it has little to do with movie makers like them.

Even Beijing Film Studio can't make any money, let alone stragglers like Chen Peisi.

If nothing else, let’s talk about Chen Peisi’s first independently produced "Father and Son". The production cost was 400,000 yuan and the box office was more than 2 million yuan. It is definitely a high profit, right?

But in the end, the money that fell into his hands was not even a tie, but a loss of 100,000.

That is to say, the "Unemployed Youth" filmed this time was barely a tie and did not lose money.

This is the real living condition of mainland filmmakers today.

To put it bluntly, the mainland's film industry is similar to the art industry these days. It's like a handicraft factory working for the foreign trade department for free, with no hope of making any money.

The economic performance of this industry has long been a vicious cycle. How could it be possible without sponsorship?

There is no more genuine support than real money and silver.

Therefore, Chen Peisi was really moved by Ning Weimin and became emotional, and even put on a completely risk-taking attitude to survive.

"To tell you the truth, I went to other places to attract investment, and what others said was very good, but I struggled to give money. Even if I finally gave it, it was like giving alms to a beggar, and all I gave was small money.

It’s so nice to be here with you. In addition to sponsoring my photo shoot last time, you also gave me extra money to buy a yard. This time, I haven’t even mentioned it yet. You’ve already prepared five hundred thousand for me. What can I say?

Okay? I have never seen anyone like you. So to me, you are different from any friend. Don’t forget that I never pay for dinner with him, but I have to treat you no matter what.

, Today is the day. It’s better to choose a different day than to hit it. Tell me, where should we go..."

To say that this boy is having a treat, the sun is really shining in the west.

Iron rooster, porcelain crane, glass mouse and glazed cat, these words are not too much to describe this comedy genius.

Logically speaking, it was rare for this kid to vomit blood. Of course Ning Weimin knew that there would be no such shop beyond this village.

If he could go, he would have to eat him.

It doesn't matter what you eat, it will definitely be enough to make you proud in the future.

It's a pity that things really didn't work out today. The weather was not right. Ning Weimin thought of Qingzi in his heart and chose to forget his friends without hesitation.

"No, I won't go. I understand. We don't need to be so polite."

"Polite? What do you mean? Look down on me?"

"No, it's the holiday today and I want to accompany my fiancée."

"What festival? The Lantern Festival was yesterday? Brother, I said you were confused about it, right?"

"Hey, where can I put them? Don't worry about the Lantern Festival. Today is Valentine's Day in the West."

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Chen Peisi was confused and asked suspiciously. "Valentine's Day? Is there really such a festival?"

Ning Weimin smiled and didn't bother to talk to him anymore. He just said, "In days like this, if I don't spend time with my girlfriend, how can I go out to eat and drink with a rough old man like you? You can say it yourself.

,Would you do this if it were you?"

As a result, it was precisely at this moment that Chen Peisi seemed to suddenly remember business.

He quickly took out the property deed that was to be handed over to Ning Weimin from his pocket.

"Well, since you said so, let's wait for another day. But I brought you the deed of the yard I bought, so you should keep it. Including taxes, the total price is almost the same

It’s a little over 30,000, maybe it’s a little too expensive for me, but there’s nothing I can do about it, people think how much money do we make when we make movies…”

The house deed in Chen Peisi's hand is actually a folded piece of yellowed paper.

Private houses that can be traded these days are indispensable, but there is no real estate certificate.

The so-called registration is nothing more than filling out a form at the housing management department and making a handover with the original landlord.

Ning Weimin concentrated on reading the house deed, and what he paid most attention to were actually two points.

One is the location of the house, and the other is the layout of the house.

I heard from Chen Peisi that this courtyard is located in the East Polishing Factory, under the Qianmen building, and it is a very standard two-entry courtyard.

Looking at the picture again, although it looks like an ordinary household without a verandah, the layout inside is quite regular, which makes Ning Weimin very satisfied.

Because this tenant is not here to stay, this address is perfect whether it is used as a tourist attraction or a filming location.

Just like that, after taking a closer look, there was nothing to worry about. Ning Weimin once again made an unexpected move and made an astonishing move - he returned the property deed to Chen Peisi.

"You should keep this thing. After all, you are the owner of the house. If there is any trouble, it will be easier to solve it if you have the deed of the house in hand. I will take a look. Okay, this car and money, and

I will officially hand over this house to you. Later, you can find a driver who can drive the car to your designated location. Time is still tight this time. When I come back next time, I will definitely go to your shooting location.

have a look."

"Ah? If you don't put this thing away, why don't you hold it for me?"

Chen Peisi took the house deed and felt more and more guilty, as if his burden had suddenly become heavier.

"What's the point? Why am I worried about you?"

Ning Weimin was amused again, and then looked at his watch. After all, he was really pressed for time.

He didn't want to delay any longer, so he simply finished what he wanted to tell him in one go.

"It's almost time. I really should go. The time I made with Qingzi is coming soon. I just want to tell you a few more things."

"One, if you start filming the next movie of "Two Sons" this year, if necessary, I can lend Feixiang to you for a cameo role. If there is a role suitable for Keiko to appear, that's no problem. That's it.

It will definitely help the movie to increase its appeal."

"Second, the most popular TV series last year was undoubtedly "Dream of Red Mansions". All these actors should be available now. Let me give you another suggestion. It is best for you to make a movie with characters like Wang Xifeng, Baochai, and Daiyu who are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

, pick a few to be the leading actors, don’t worry about labor fees. Don’t forget, your movie should imitate "The Story of Torajiro". Then you have to use the most popular actresses every year, and shoot a story that is most in line with contemporary changes.

In the end, we can perfectly leave the memory of an era.”

"Third, when you buy a filming location for your next movie, you don't have to just focus on the courtyard. After all, there are many hotels in Qianmen. At worst, we can just buy a hotel. It will be enough to support the business in the future.

Your income from filming. And the scenery is also real, right? Try to make the decoration as high-end as possible, and don’t be afraid of spending money."

"Four, before I leave, I hope to take away the copies of "Fathers and Sons" and "Unemployed Youth" that you shot. I plan to negotiate with Shochiku or independent theaters in Tokyo to see if there is any chance.

Showing your work in Japan will give you some extra income. So you have to prepare it for me as soon as possible. Is that okay? That's all. I'm leaving now. Think about it later and let's call

connect."

With that said, Ning Weimin put on his down jacket, opened the door and got out of the car without stopping.

Then he waved goodbye and quickly disappeared into the distance on the street.

Only Chen Peisi was left standing in the car, staring blankly into the distance.

Even with the car door still wide open, he completely ignored the cold wind blowing into the car from outside.

Of course, this isn't really anything wrong with him. The key is that Ning Weimin's final words are too hard to ponder.

For Chen Peisi, every one of the points mentioned by Ning Weimin seems to be a good strategy.

"Feixiang and Matsumoto Keiko...they are going to appear in my movie...is this also a cross-border cooperation..."

"A Dream of Red Mansions, yes! A Dream of Red Mansions! With Wang Xifeng's fierceness, wouldn't it be appropriate for her to play my business rival, Zhang Daju? Then who should I choose to play Yingzi?"

"Hey, it would be great if our movie could be screened in Tokyo. Let those stupid people look down on others and see that it's not just their boring art movies that can go abroad..."

"Hey, that's not right. This guy actually asked me to consider buying a ready-made hotel at the front door? How...how did he know that my next movie will be about a hotel? I haven't even had time to reveal the content of the script to him...

"

It's a pity that Ning Weimin left in such a hurry. Even if Chen Peisi had something he wanted to ask, he couldn't ask him.

And an even more unfortunate thing happened at this time. Due to a gust of wind, the open door of the RV finally couldn't withstand the strong wind, and with a "bang", it was slammed shut.

This is great, Chen Peisi not only resembled his father in "Fathers and Sons", but also had a "meeting" in his head.

And then he discovered that even though the car door was tightly closed, it could not be opened even if it was dead or alive.

How did you say this? Isn’t this a big joke!

Before Ning Weimin left, he actually didn't teach him how to open and close this complicated car door. This was an automatic lock!

In this way, Chen Peisi, who had just become a millionaire in one fell swoop, foolishly guarded his house deed and 500,000 yuan, just like Kasim in "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves".

He was actually trapped in this RV because he "forgot the open sesame mantra".

I don't know if this is his luck or misfortune.

However, he was different from Chen Peisi who was at a loss and sweating all over his forehead.

As life becomes more and more prosperous and the social level rises, Ning Weimin is like a fish in water and adapts very well.

On February 22, 1987, he took Matsumoto Keiko back to Tokyo on Japan Airlines flight DC-8.

But this time, because the asset size of Pierre Cardon China Corporation has expanded several times, it was also thanks to the recent promotion.

Ning Weimin was finally able to leave the masses with peace of mind, go to enjoy the business class reimbursed at public expense, and sit on the upper deck of the plane with Qingzi.

In the business class of this large passenger aircraft, in addition to extremely rich meals and more considerate services, there is also a small TV in front of each seat.
