Rebirth of the Southern Drift Era

Chapter 247 Infernal Affairs

"The south has changed a lot. A few years ago, Xiaoxue and I came here to play. At that time, many places here were still barren, and there were a lot of rice fields and vegetable fields. Now they are all turned into factories, and there are more people. few."

After Lao Zhang and his wife came to Xiangshan, Liu Chang spent three days with them on a tour of several big cities in the south to see the changes here.

Binhai, Pengcheng, these places have been to, and I have also seen Xiangjiang and Las Vegas across the sea.

Turning around, seeing the changes here, Lao Zhang sighed a little.

After all, it is the frontier of reform and opening up, and the changes here are changing with each passing day.

After so many years in my hometown, there is still no change. Although there are various mineral resources, the footsteps have been pulled further and further away.

"It's not too big. In a few years, the changes in the south will be even greater. When you come over, Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid you will be more impressed."

After hearing this, Liu Chang replied with a smile, he has stayed in the south for decades, and he is very familiar with the changes here.

In the future, the remaining large tracts of cultivated land will disappear and be replaced by a large number of factories and high-rise residential areas.

Poverty places are advocating returning farmland to forests, paying attention to gold mountains and silver mountains are not as good as green water and green mountains.

In developed places, patches of arable land have been turned into high-rise concrete buildings. It is clear that green water and green mountains are not as good as golden mountains and silver mountains. No one knows what is going on in this world?
Anyway, the people below have no right to speak, they can only endure the "benefits" of various policies, whether you are willing to accept it or not, everything is changing.

Whether it is good or bad, no one knows.

After walking around with the three of them, it was almost time for Zhang Xue to start school.

Liu Chang called Wang Xiaosi over and asked her to stay with Zhang Xue and protect Zhang Xue's safety.

Last year, Liu Chang bought a flat next to Zhang Xue's school in Shanghai. Wang Xiaosi could live there, and Zhang Xue would also live there when he was not in class.

When Zhang Xue was at school, she stayed in the house, and when Zhang Xue went out, she accompanied her all the way to ensure Zhang Xue's safety.

Wang Xiaosi has no objection to this, but is full of interest in being able to go to the magic city.I have no objection to my salary of [-] a month.

Wang Xiaoyi followed Lao Zhang, and after talking with Wang Xiaoyi, Lao Zhang was very satisfied.

In addition, Wang Xiaoyi is still Wang Laodao's apprentice, Lao Zhang likes it very much.

He paid for the hire himself, and Liu Chang didn't need to spend money on him.

Zhang Xue and Wang Xiaosi went to Shanghai by plane, but Lao Zhang and his wife didn't have a plane, so they could only take the train.

But the two did not treat themselves badly, they booked a soft sleeper car, and they were not short of money.

After sending them away, Liu Chang's life returned to normal working conditions.

In the past few days, I have picked up all the things that have been delayed by playing with me and continued to be busy.

However, when Lao Zhang left, Liu Chang was thinking about two things. One was the theater in the high-end community, and the other was the large shopping mall.

It seems that Lao Zhang has no idea to do this by himself. He thinks it is troublesome, and he is going to see if he can get someone in to do it.

But Liu Chang can cooperate with him. For cinemas, build a few first and put them there. It doesn’t matter if you don’t make money, and you can’t lose much money.

Liu Chang has a film and television company in his hands, and it would not be too far away to set up a theater by the way.

After the film and television market rises in the future, these can still make money.

Shopping malls are even better. His Trust-Mart is planning to develop nationwide.

Although it cannot be compared with those international chain supermarkets, it is now a well-known chain store in China.

Lao Zhang's high-end community will not start to develop very quickly, after all, it takes a period to build a house.

His own shopping mall chain followed suit, even if it started with a small loss, it was acceptable.

As for what other shareholders mean, they have no right to intervene in the operation and management. They only care about dividends, so there is no need to consider their opinions.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Chang recorded these things and used them directly when Lao Zhang's high-end community came out.

"This is our boss Liu Chang, and this is Mr. Mai Zhaohui, the director of Xiangjiang, and Mr. Zhuang Wenqiang, the screenwriter. Mr. Mai and Mr. Zhuang came to our company to discuss film cooperation."

To Liu Chang's surprise, the author of the movie script that Han Xue mentioned last time went to Xiangshan to discuss cooperation with him not long after.

It's a pity that Liu Chang didn't know the two of them very well. After seeing the two of them coming, he exchanged simple greetings and then picked up the script to read.

Looking at the protagonist's name and content inside, Liu Chang can be sure that this is indeed the movie "Infernal Affairs"!
As for why this movie appeared in his hands at this time, he didn't pay attention.

Anyway, now that the script of this movie is in my hands, I can completely consider whether to invest or not.

"This story is good, but how do you plan to shoot it? And how do you operate the film distribution. I can invest here, but there is no way for Xiangjiang's distribution. It is very difficult for this film to be released in the mainland."

After reading the script, Liu Chang asked Mai Zhaohui.

He is both a director and a screenwriter, so naturally his opinion is very important.

But what Liu Chang is curious about is that there seems to be a director surnamed Liu in this movie, why didn't he see it?
What Liu Chang didn't know was that the story of "Infernal Affairs" appeared very early, but Lao Mai never turned the story into a script and attracted people to invest.

Lao Liu didn't set up his own film and television company at this time, and he didn't want to join in the fun, turn this movie into an A-level movie, and then attract some investment.

That's why he took advantage of it and hooked up with the script in advance.

Whether this movie will be as popular as in the previous life, no one can say now, there are too many things that have changed.

"We are going to find a few good and capable actors to shoot this movie, so the investment will not be huge..."

When Mai Zhaohui said this, it seemed that he had no confidence in the movie.

Liu Chang glanced at him and smiled.

This is a real person, and he can't even cheat people.

Liu Chang didn't know if he was usually like this, but at this moment in front of him, he behaved like this.

Cooperating with such a person can make you feel at ease.

What Liu Chang didn't know was that Mai Zhaohui really didn't have confidence in himself.

He has shot several movies in a row, and this movie is a gangster movie. People around him say that Xiangjiang's gangster movies have fallen, which makes him even more unconfident.

Although the story had put a lot of thought into the evening, he still had little confidence.

Otherwise, the story has been in my hands for so long, and no one has invested in it, so I found Liu Chang's Xiangnan Film and Television.

"Let's determine the distribution channel first. If there is no problem, then I will invest. Then we will consider who owns the copyright of the script of the movie, how to make the movie, and what actors to use."

Liu Chang has long been impressed by who the actors of the movie will be.But what Lao Mai said now seems to be a little different from his own impression, so Liu Chang naturally would not agree.

"Uh...the distribution is no problem. I have some personal connections and channels in Xiangjiang, which I can use. If Mr. Liu is willing to invest and buy out, the copyright of this movie will naturally belong to Shonan Film and Television Company..."

After hearing Liu Chang's words, Lao Mai was stunned for a while, not knowing how to express his feelings.This guy has such a weird negotiating style?
"Well, that's fine! I invested 3000 million in this movie. But I think Hua Zi and Wei Zai are good for the two leading actors, and Lao Zeng and the dark horse prince Liu Qingyun are also good. The other actors..."

Liu Chang interrupted Lao Mai again, and quickly reported the cast, as if he had already booked these actors in his heart.

"Uh…….."

Lao Mai felt aggrieved by this feeling. What does this actor do with an investor?
But when he thought of the actors Liu Chang said he would invest 3000 million and then reported, he was completely stunned.

What the hell!

Is this lineup too luxurious?

What Liu Chang said is almost the top match in the Xiangjiang film circle, all of which are wrists.

What he didn't know was that Liu Changbao's lineup was the one he had seen in his previous life.

Except for Lao Huang being replaced by Lao Liu, the other actors have not changed much.

Old Huang was replaced because Liu Chang was a bit of a cynic, and he didn't have a good impression of Old Huang.

There was another guy, who was also replaced.

The film is invested by itself, and one or two actors have the final say, so they should have the right to do so.

If not, Liu Chang felt that he would definitely not invest, it was as simple as that.

In terms of acting skills, Lao Liu is not far behind Lao Huang, and Lao Liu and Lao Mai have actually worked together.

"I didn't plan to make such a big show at the beginning of this movie."

Seeing Liu Chang uttered his request, it took Lao Mai a while to react.

No matter in the previous life or now, Lao Mai really didn't think about making this movie so powerful at the beginning, and it all changed later.

For example, now that Liu Chang said so, the situation of this movie has changed.

With an investment of 3000 million, this is completely the standard for an A-level movie, and there are so many luxurious lineups, which makes Lao Mai feel a lot of pressure.

"I don't understand movies. Apart from these requirements, I don't have any other opinions. You guys just go ahead and shoot. But with so much money invested, you have to make a high-quality movie. So you spend more on the plot and so on. Think about it."

Liu Chang has almost forgotten the details of the movie "Infernal Affairs", and only remembers a general content.

Let him point fingers, with his level, maybe a good movie will be tossed by him.

So besides investing money and appointing actors, Liu Chang didn't want to interfere too much. At most, he would take Zhang Xue to see the stars.

"Boss Liu's words put me under a lot of pressure, but I put a lot of effort into this story. I actually hope that this movie will be successful more than Boss Liu."

After Liu Chang finished speaking, Lao Mai found the opportunity at this time, then glanced at Lao Zhuang next to him, and then expressed his thoughts.
