Chapter 254 The terrifying Zhou Guoshan

It was New Year's Eve 2005.

The convoy of the "Orangutan" crew entered the boundaries of Shandong Province and reached Huangdao and the streets of Changjiang Road.

After getting out of the car tiredly wrapped in a green coat, Jiang Liu glanced at Li Xing, who was wearing a bright red down jacket among the crowd.

The boss showed up. Although he had just come out of the mountains, he was in a bad state.

However, several Yixin executives and directors, including Hou Hongliang, Kong Sheng, and Zhang Yongxin who came from the Lu Provincial Film and Television Drama Production Center, still forced themselves forward and said: "Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you."

The Forbes list was so influential that more people came to greet him than expected. Some of them Jiang Liu knew when he was promoting his movie, and some of them were meeting him for the first time.

Whether they are familiar with each other or strangers, it is necessary to have a warm conversation in this kind of situation.

After standing outside in the cold wind for about 20 minutes, Jiang Liu and his team walked into the huge studio talking and laughing.

After just a brief glance at the studio, Jiang Liu was filled with praises.

In front of everyone is an extremely tall, metallic studio with intricate and solid aircraft.

A prop helicopter the same size as a real helicopter.

There is also a replica of the Yangtze River Bridge that is three hundred meters long and is a nearly one-to-one replica of a section of the Yangtze River Bridge.

Jiang Liu has been filming for several years, and has almost never set up a scene for a movie in a substantial sense.

The imitation of the Yangtze River Bridge was the first scene he built. The first scene cost more than 3000 million, which can be called a luxury.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Jiang Liu wanted to film the whole process on the Yangtze River Bridge.

But the official refused.

The bridge runs through southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, and is responsible for the annual transportation volume and passenger flow of tons and passengers in the Yangtze River Delta and even the whole country.

How could such an important bridge allow normal people to climb up and down the steel cables, run around inside the bridge, and even detonate prop helicopters on the bridge?

Not to mention Jiang Liu's small crew, even the president of a country can't do this or that.

The fact that the government allowed Jiang Liu to film scenes on the bridge was a huge favor.

If you change the director, let alone mobilizing a helicopter to fly around, even if the traffic is blocked due to filming, you have to have a drink.

After stepping on the bridge deck and tugging on the steel cable, Jiang Liu happily praised the construction contractor.

Seeing Jiang Liu's attitude of wanting to walk around the studio, Hou Hongliang said hurriedly: "Mr. Jiang, it's getting late, let's eat first."

"Okay, let's go."

Eat first, is now the sentence Jiang Liu hears most every time he goes to a place. With leaders present, and Lu Province being the birthplace of Farmer Gong, he can't refuse even more.

"Mr. Jiang, you are a major domestic director with a certain reputation in Asia and the world. You have a deep understanding of the domestic film market. From your own perspective, how many blockbusters like the ones you make will be produced by Huaxia Film every year?"

Jiang Liu picked up the red wine glass and clinked it with the person who asked the question: "Bureau Sun, I can't say for sure, but there must be more than now."

"The number of blockbusters to be shot is mainly determined by the market, and the size of the market is determined by the economy. China's economy has developed so fast after joining the WTO, and the number of blockbusters will definitely be higher in the next few years."

"But how much higher it will be and how long it will last, no one can say for sure."

"Only when the management has money will they be bold enough to invest in blockbusters. But if they don't have money, they must be investing in small-budget comedy movies and so on with the idea of ​​a small investment and a big return."

Director Sun nodded thoughtfully and said: "Mr. Jiang is right. You are an expert in the film industry. I have to ask you for advice on something. The reason why we help you build a studio is to be different from Hengdian's plan to build a studio." High-end movie studio."

"Based on your experience, Mr. Jiang thinks it's feasible?"

"Bureau Sun, I really don't have any good suggestions for this." Jiang Liu shook his head directly.

Of course he knows about Shandong Oriental Film City, the filming location of "The Wandering Earth".

The film capital has invested a lot of money, the various buildings are magnificent, the area is several times the size of Yixin Film and Television Industrial Park, and the equipment is very comprehensive.

But Jiang Liu couldn't tell whether he was making any money or whether his future was bright.

After refusing twice more, Director Sun found that Jiang Liu really couldn't explain the truth, so he stopped pestering him.

Everyone in the crew drank a lot, and the next day was New Year's Eve. Jiang Liu gave the crew two days off and started working again on the second day of the new year.

Jiang Liu and Li Xin rarely rested. It was the New Year's Day and they were in a foreign land, so Li Xin suggested that they go to Zhou Guoshan's house to take a look.

"He is in Hohhot, why don't you go to Hohhot?" Jiang Liu turned over lazily.

"You're the one who still treats me like a brother. Dashan went to Lu Province with you last night."

Jiang Liu was surprised and said: "Dashan is getting married, or is he dating someone? Are you rushing back to Lu Province to celebrate the festival?"

"Do you have to get married? Dashan has been here for several years and has made Lu Province his home." While applying skin cream on his face, Li Xing took a moment to glance at Jiang Liu.

"Then let's go to his house and have a look. Where does he live?" Li Xin suddenly felt a pain in his head: "Get up quickly."

Jiang Liu scratched his head, got dressed and got out of bed. Before leaving the house, he discovered that Li Xin, who had arrived in Lu Province a day earlier, had prepared all the New Year's gifts for Zhou Guoshan.

"My good wife, I have found a good wife, and I have a good sister-in-law in Dashan."

"Humph." Li Xin glanced at Jiang Liu proudly.

Zhou Guoshan lives in Century Jiayuan Community. The community does not look new and is well maintained.

But when it comes to Pei Zhou Guoshan's current status, it is far inferior.

Even if Zhou Guoshan lived in the most expensive villa in Lu Province, Jiang Liu would not be surprised.

Climbing to the fourth floor, Li Xing looked at the house number and rang the bell for room 402.

"no one?"

"Are you going out? Let me make a call." Li Xin took out his mobile phone and said, "Da Shan, please stay at home. Your brother and I are at your door."

"Crack."

Zhou Guoshan was wearing cool clothes and his hair was messy. He looked at the two people at the door in surprise: "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here suddenly?"

"Your brother arrived in Lu Province last night. Their crew has a holiday today and tomorrow. I know you are back too. Let's check on you. Is there anyone else at home?"

While Li Yan was answering at the door, Jiang Liu had already rushed into the house out of curiosity.

The floor was clean, as if it had been temporarily mopped.

There were various brands of leather shoes on the shoe rack at the door of the room. It was very messy, with one shoe here and there.

There are newspapers, books, magazines and more on the one-piece sofa in the living room.

There is a big bag of various fruits on the dining table.

"There's no one at home. Sister-in-law, come in and sit wherever you like."

Li Xin smiled and took the glutinous rice sticks and other gifts he brought from his hometown in the northeast into the kitchen. Then he shouted: "Da Shan, your kitchen has never been used. Some of the chopsticks are stained with mold."

"It's no use. It's been two years since I moved here and I've barely had a bite to eat at home."

Li Xin nodded sadly. She knew about Zhou Guoshan's life experience, but she didn't expect that Zhou Guoshan was financially independent and his life was still in a mess.

"Find a girlfriend, and after two years of marriage, you will have your own family." Li Xing rolled up her sleeves and advised.

Jiang Liu did not try to persuade her, but said, "Go to bed or put on some clothes. Don't freeze."

"Okay, brother, tell sister-in-law to stop working. Just hire someone to clean it after the new year."

"Leave it to her."

Jiang Liu followed Zhou Guoshan into the bedroom where he slept.

Then he saw a pile of books on Zhou Guoshan's bedside table, with newspapers mixed in between each book.

Jiang Liu pulled out the neatly folded newspaper at the top and glanced at the date, May 2004, 5.

The newspaper was a local newspaper in Anhui Province, and the content seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, until Jiang Liu accidentally scanned a piece of news with only a few words.

[Goulu milk powder, doll]

Jiang Liu's pupils shrank.

He clearly remembers that Goulu milk powder really hit the market in 08, and it had been criticized by frequent reports before.

But Goulu's powerful public relations ability and the inaction of some people suppressed it.

This is not the point.

The point is that Zhou Guoshan may have keenly discovered the major flaws of his competitors as early as 9 months ago.

What may have been grasped by now.

But he didn't know why but he held it back.

Even Jiang Liu was not informed.

Jiang Liu was horrified and frowned at Zhou Guoshan, who was putting on his long johns with his back to him.

"Either you don't take action, or you hit the target with one strike and completely kill your opponent? Zhou Guoshan is more adaptable to the battlefield like a shopping mall than me. This forbearance makes people even more frightened!"

Jiang Liu said silently in his heart.
