Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1168 If You Have 300 Million
The next morning, Nan Yi received a call from Li Yizheng, asking him to go with him to attend a real estate seminar organized by the serious newspaper "Land and Resources" on Wednesday. Nan Yi asked about the theme of the meeting. Li Yizheng told him that it was to discuss measures to curb the skyrocketing housing prices. At the same time, he warned Nan Yi to publish one or two SSCI papers so that he could remove the word "deputy" from his title as soon as possible, which would also be beneficial to his evaluation of his professional title.
Nan Yi was in a dilemma. Why not SCI? If it were SCI, he could just point out a direction and recruit a few students from the class to do the hard work. SSCI was basically difficult enough. However, he still had to recruit two undergraduates, as people were needed to do the hard work.
After deciding to look for Du Wenhua and Xue Xiaomin, Nan Yi put the thesis matter aside for the time being.
At noon, Nan Yi had lunch with Zhao Qing'er. Her art exam went well. She went to three top schools, but failed any of them.
She didn't pass the exam. She's short and stocky, with neither a curvy figure nor a nice body. She sings out of tune, has no basic dancing skills, speaks poor Mandarin and has a distinct accent. If she passes, the back door will have to be at least ten meters wide.
Zhao Qing'er was not discouraged. After all, before she took the art exam, the teachers of the training class and Nan Yi had already poured cold water on her. She went there with the mentality of buying a lottery ticket, hoping very much to win the jackpot, but she also knew that the chances were slim. Frustration comes quickly and goes away quickly.
"Master, I want to continue visiting the crew." Zhao Qing'er leaned forward, picked up chopsticks and started digging in the plate of boiled pork slices a little far away from her, without raising her head.
"Don't pick up the food by shoveling it around. Look carefully before you pick it up." Nan Yi tapped Zhao Qing'er on the head. "Don't stand up either. It won't look good."
Zhao Qing'er touched her head and said aggrievedly, "I can't reach it."
"Who made you so short? Before you officially debut, change your information and change your height to..." Nan Yi glanced at Zhao Qing'er's sitting height, "165cm is still okay. Go order a pair of shoes with insoles and larger sizes someday."
Zhao Qing'er pouted, "It's fine to just wear a hemline. Why do you have to make it bigger? It's uncomfortable to wear a big one."
"A height of 165cm is not a small thing like you." Nan Yi waved his hand , "Forget it, you will inevitably take photos with other people in the future, and you can't hide your height from others. I will not mention it in the future."
"oh."
Zhao Qing'er responded and brought up the topic of visiting the crew again.
"Little girl, don't worry too much. I am your master, so I have to take care of your food and drink. Now you don't have to worry about making money." Nan Yi smiled and said, "Let me ask you, if you have a hundred dollars, are you willing to give fifty to your master?"
Zhao Qing'er nodded directly, "Yes."
"If you have one million, would you be willing to give Master five hundred thousand?"
Zhao Qing'er still nodded without hesitation.
"What if it's 100 million or even 300 million? Would you be willing to give me half? Don't rush to answer. Think carefully. In the near future, you will really have 300 million."
"Three...three hundred million?" Zhao Qing'er's lips trembled. "Master, do I really have that much money?"
"A lot?" Nan Yi said calmly, "Just because you are my apprentice, I can estimate the value to be at least 800 million. It's just that your brain is a little stupid, so I gave you a discount."
"I'm not stupid."
"Don't complain. Think about it carefully. When you really have 300 million, will you be willing to give me half of it?"
Nan Yi asked just out of boredom. Imaginary money and real money are two completely different things. Many bosses who make big promises pat their chests beforehand and deny them afterwards. It is not necessarily that they intend to deceive from the beginning. It is very difficult to hold real money in your hands and then give it away. It is really difficult, especially for grassroots people who have little idea of the amount of "real money" and know that money is hard to earn.
Zhao Qing'er is also a grassroots person, and the answer she asks now doesn't mean much. Without putting the money in front of her, even she herself can't figure out her mentality when the time comes.
Zhao Qing'er didn't think about it seriously or for long. She gave Nan Yi an affirmative answer and said she was willing to give Nan Yi half.
Nan Yi gave Zhao Qing'er special treatment and did not say the ugly words in advance. He was a rule-abiding person. Master and disciple were master and disciple, and it would not change because of a joke. The master's responsibilities of preaching, imparting knowledge, solving doubts, and setting up a house, he would replace with paying for training, paving the way for his career, blocking unspoken rules, and guiding him in buying a house. As for the disciple's responsibility of "handing over the money", he only took half.
After dinner, Nan Yi took Zhao Qing'er to watch the drama "Crazy Stone".
The plots of the drama and the movie have almost nothing to do with each other. It's more like a hype than an adaptation. The southern accent in the movie has been replaced with a northern accent. To be honest, the performance is not too exciting, and breaking down each scene always gives people a sense of déjà vu. It's probably a tribute.
Thinking of paying tribute, Nan Yi's thoughts began to fly. He wondered whether he should pay tribute to the content of all ten seasons of "Friends", make a local adaptation, and make a sitcom?
Sitcoms are low-cost and product placement is relatively simple, and products can even be integrated directly into the plot. For example, one or two characters can be set as employees of an advertising company. At least three units can revolve around discussing advertising ideas.
Nan Yi pondered for a while and recalled that there was a sitcom with high ratings before, "Home with Kids". It would be a good opportunity to take advantage of the popularity by airing it at the end of this year. It could also guide the online comments about plagiarism and advertising. As long as the show is well made and stays at the level of tribute, it would be completely possible to carry out negative marketing.
Thinking of this, Nan Yi took out his mobile phone, wrote down some key points in the memo, and continued to think and record. He missed the second half of the drama, but a highly operational project prototype emerged.
This project can also involve Zhao Qing'er, letting her play herself - a hard-working extra who is honing her acting skills. The real stories she experienced will be removed and the inappropriate parts will be artistically processed.
After a rough review, Nan Yi reviewed it again and found that the prototype he had created also felt familiar. As soon as he recalled it, the four words "Love Apartment" jumped out.
"Whatever, I'll just borrow some of the characters' ideas and pay tribute to them at the same time."
…
After watching the drama, Nan Yi accompanied Zhao Qing'er to Xidan, where they walked around and bought some fashionable clothes from small brands.
In the evening, the two had dinner together again, and then went to the cinema to watch a movie.
The day passed like this, and the next day, Nan Yi asked Chen Wenqin, who had just returned from Hengdian and taken a few days off, to register a Master Film Company. Zhao Qing'er would get half of the shares of this company in the future, and its main purpose at present was to operate the project he had conceived yesterday.
Around ten o'clock, Wangbei Capital sent a list of film projects. Nan Yi scanned it and found the more familiar ones were "Red Cliff" , "If You Are the One" and "Painted Skin".
My first PASS for "Red Cliff". It's a movie with many celebrities, but you can't ask them to act without pay like you do with patriotic movies. It's also a costume movie with expensive backgrounds. It's impossible for such a movie to make money.
"If You Are the One" was also rejected. They are all experts in advertising placement. It is impossible for Wang Media to be short of funds for filming. If they insist on investing, they would just owe the other party a favor. There is no need for this.
Painted Skin is a bit interesting. The project initiated by the director does not have a strong film and television company behind it, so the funds can only be raised from the outside, but the budget is too high...
Nan Yi did a quick calculation and concluded that even if "Painted Skin" was released, there was a high risk of losses. Even if it made a profit, the profit would not be too much, unless it could break through the 300 million barrier and the box office would soar.
But how is that possible? Looking at the current domestic box office situation, a domestic film will have to wait for an opportunity to break through the 300 million box office. This opportunity has little to do with the industry itself, but depends on the overall economic environment.
Nan Yi glanced at the familiar ones and looked inside the unfamiliar ones, hoping to find a masterpiece that would yield great results with a small investment.
Of course, he gained nothing.
"It seems that investing in domestic films is not a feasible path." Nan Yi stroked his chin and began to think about Hollywood.
