Chapter 1069: What Exactly Was Said and Different Methods

~16 min read 3,067 words

What Exactly Was Said and Different Methods. At the end of May, Barbara called Lan and said she would come to New Jincheng in two days.

Wanli Pictures has released quite a few movies this year, and with the "box office sharing system" being promoted by the Lan family and the Wanli distribution company, more and more people are starting to rely on Lan's distribution company.

Some have even tried to sue the Wanli Film and Television Distribution Company for suspected monopoly. If it weren't for several other large production companies also pushing their own sharing models, they might have really succeeded.

Many people have already seen the huge benefits here, like sharks smelling blood, starting to sprint toward here from very far away.

As long as it is a movie played through the Wanli Film and Television Distribution Company, for every movie ticket sold, Lan can obtain 2 cents from it.

Don't look at these 3 cents as if they are not much; in reality, the number of tickets sold for a movie in the entire Federation is often more than several hundred thousand. Some movies that are not too bad in production and whose stories can be justified are all several million tickets.

Like some very popular movies, the movie tickets are all more than 10 million.

Just calculating with 5 million tickets, it can provide 150,000 in commission for the Wanli distribution company.

Now the company releases at least 40 movies a year. Even if some of them are not of good quality, overall, the income in this area is between 3 and 4 million.

This is not a small number in this era.

The profit of many listed companies for a year might be just this much, and this is only a part of the entire Wanli Group.

Like the constantly expanding theater chain system, they can also share a large sum of money from the box office, and then there is the brokerage company, and the production company that is most important in the movie system.

Wanli Pictures produces about 50 movies every year. They take the internal system, so they don't calculate those expenses.

Some of these are big productions, and some are small productions.

With the increase in people's income, more people are willing to buy a few movie tickets with their families and enjoy a wonderful time in the cinema.

And the booming development of the movie industry has also brought more people's attention, such as the already appearing color movies with brighter colors, which are also about to be promoted on a large scale.

The development speed of the movie industry is getting faster and faster, and more and more people are attracted to enter this industry, so the competition within the entire industry is getting stronger and stronger.

Barbara is one of the core female lead actors of Wanli Pictures. On one hand, she is the sister of Lan's wife, and on the other hand, her conditions in all aspects are quite good, and she already has many movie fans and admirers on the big screen.

It is said that from time to time, someone will drive a convertible sports car to wait for Barbara to get off work at the movie company. However, it is a pity that until now, no rumors about Barbara have been spread.

This makes people feel incredible, but at the same time, it seems to have a feeling of being taken for granted.

Such an excellent woman, how could she fall into the grave of marriage so early? Many people feel that if Barbara is going to get married, then she will definitely leave the movie industry. People don't want her to leave so quickly. She should create more excellent works before leaving, rather than now.

From June to August, it is the peak period for movies to be released intensively during the summer vacation in the Federation, among which there is no lack of some big-production movies.

Because after the summer vacation, more people have needs for entertainment, and students are also on vacation. They are willing to try some fresh things or watch some movies they don't understand.

So this is a huge market that everyone is fighting for, and it is also the time period with the most intense "slaughter."

Barbara is coming to New Jincheng at the end of the month to promote "My War," which is about to be released, a mainstream war movie, in which Barbara plays the nurse who follows the army.

Because Lan doesn't like to romanticize war, the company will have a feeling completely different from other movie companies' war movies when filming war movies.

Other movie companies always amplify the love between the male and female leads, covering up the cruelty of war.

Last year, they also selected a "Top Ten War Movie Shots." The one ranked first was the male lead just coming down from the battlefield, covered in blood and wounds, and immediately kissing the female lead passionately after seeing her.

The lens pulled in from afar and constantly pulled away during their passionate kiss, giving people a very special feeling.

Some film critics said this was last year's "Best Passionate Kiss," and the female lead and male lead are also very famous actors, winning first place in the selection.

Wanli Pictures did not have any movies selected last year because the movies they filmed often gave more shots to the cruel war status quo.

The directors went to the battlefield and filmed many useful war materials back, establishing a war material library.

When filming war movies, they would cut some real pictures into them, which would cause some people to feel physiological discomfort.

Of course, the company's explanation to the outside world is that these are all actors and props, which also made them unexpectedly win the annual "Film Association Best Prop Award," which can be considered an unexpected harvest.

As for whether it makes money, that is not important. What is important is to highly restore the cruelty of war and let the artistic quality of the movie speak.

As for making money, leave it to other aspects.

Lan can get some subsidies for mainstream cultural propaganda from Congress, and then there are tax rebate policies locally. It cannot be said that it makes a huge profit, but it is definitely making money.

The market is also gradually accepting such movies. People are tired of seeing the male and female leads who have to climb out of the two trenches and hug each other passionately on the battlefield where bullets are flying. On the contrary, movies as cruel as Wanli Pictures are starting to become popular.

The company decided to increase the intensity of publicity, not to say what kind of excellent results it will obtain, but at least it can obtain certain achievements in terms of movies this summer.

Barbara heard that Lan has been in New Jincheng, so she took the initiative to call him.

Regarding Barbara coming over and needing him to receive her, Lan did not refuse. He has many residences here. Not to mention receiving one Barbara, even receiving the entire crew is no problem.

Two days passed very quickly. Lan picked up Barbara at the train station. The crew members who followed saw Barbara and Lan leave, and didn't say anything.

The producer wanted to stop them, but was pulled by his assistant. His assistant looked at him with the eyes of looking at a fool, "That is Mr. Lan White. You don't want to work anymore?"

Lan is not only the honorary chairman of the board of Wanli Pictures but also the honorary chairman of the Film Association. Although he doesn't personally contact these things much, his influence in the movie industry is still very strong.

Not to mention that he now has many industries under his hands, and also has a relationship with Congress. I heard that he has now become an important consultant for foreign countries, responsible for coordinating the negotiations between the Federation and Lapa.

As for those identities that are not convenient to mention, there are even more! Such a person, if you stop him, what is the difference from looking for death?

The producer had a bitter face, "Then what about tomorrow's publicity?"

His assistant could only show a helpless expression, "This depends on whether Barbara can remember this matter."

As for disturbing?

Better forget it.

The producer felt that his assistant was right. Compared to letting Barbara come to participate in publicity activities, not offending Lan was clearly much smarter.

Offending Lan, perhaps their future in this industry would be cut off instantly.

There is no need to kick oneself out for a small matter.

Wanli Pictures is very beautiful. The reason for being beautiful is that anyone can apply for projects. Even the company's cleaners, as long as they have a complete project proposal, they can also apply for projects.

Such a good job, no one wants to lose it.

Barbara sat in the car. She curiously knocked on the thick glass window twice with her finger, "Your car looks different from those cars in Jincheng."

Lan nodded and introduced, "This is a bulletproof car."

Barbara only remembered at this time that the man in front of her has many identities, and among them, there are some that make him face risks all the time.

"Will anyone assassinate you?", she was really somewhat curious.

Lan still nodded, "Yes, someone assassinates me often, more than once."

"However, my luck is not bad, allowing me to always survive, so I chose a bulletproof car, at least I can be more calm when facing trouble."

Barbara was full of curiosity about this car, "This must be very expensive."

"About 50,000."

Hearing this price, she still gasped, "You are really willing!"

Lan smiled, just a few tens of thousands.

Just as they were chatting about some content about the new movie, the speed of the motorcade suddenly dropped. Lan paused his chat with Barbara and looked forward.

There were cars in front, somewhat blocked.

Turning left from the intersection in front is Detelan Street. It is true that it will be somewhat congested here sometimes, which is very normal, and it will be cleared soon. Lan has already seen the police car.

"Maybe we have to wait a while," he said.

Barbara did not oppose this. She hoped to spend more time alone with Lan.

She sat toward Lan's side, "I knew you were here, and I made a phone call to Patricia before coming. Do you know what we talked about?"

Lan took back his gaze from the outside and asked somewhat curiously, "What did you talk about?"

Barbara's attention was slightly attracted by a pedestrian with a somewhat distorted expression outside the window behind Lan. As an actor, she is now also a successful performing artist, and she is very clear about the complexity of human expressions.

However, she was only attracted for a moment, and then her gaze returned to Lan's face.

Perhaps Kuber didn't know that he was less than 5 meters away from the "answer" he wanted in the last second.

But even if he knew, it didn't make any sense. He couldn't do a direct dialogue with a big shot like Lan, nor could he demand any reward from Lan's side.

This is a carefully planned harvesting game, using greed as bait to attract those people who can never be satisfied, and then catch them all in one net.

The financial market is always like this. When a person is always immersed in other people's stories of getting rich, they themselves will also long to become people in the stories.

Even if they know that what they are doing at this moment has huge risks, they will not easily give up. After all... what if? Failure and success are always one step away. In this terrible disaster, there is no lack of people who successfully escaped. They escaped directly on the hillside or even the top of the mountain, becoming new miracles on Detelan Street.

Miracles and disasters go hand in hand. People can finally only see living miracles, but cannot see living disasters.

Kuber ran quickly toward the exchange. Today, a disposal plan is to be issued. The nature of this case is too serious, and the Financial Management Committee and Congress attach great importance to it.

They investigated the general situation at a speed that people could not imagine, so today is the "final chapter" of this game.

Kuber, who ran all the way, almost ran off his shoes. The panic, expectation, uneasiness, hesitation, fear... these constantly surging emotions on his face made him look like he was experiencing terrible things.

When he ran to the entrance of the exchange, many people had already gathered here. He noticed a very special point.

Not only are there police here, but there are also some agents wearing Federal Bureau of Investigation uniforms. They are also here.

The power of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is quietly expanding. Congress, the President, they all want to obtain greater power. In the Federation, justice is a more concrete manifestation of power.

The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation applied for a joint investigation. Considering that he did bring a lot of convenience to everyone, the President's side also agreed.

Of course, these are things Kuber doesn't know, and doesn't need to know. He ran here, panting, looking at the official of the Financial Management Committee standing on the high platform.

"... The high-level management and board of directors of Hope Mining Company have all fled the Federation. We currently don't know their whereabouts."

"We confirmed through the official of the new Lapa government that all the mines acquired by Hope Mining were mines that had no mining value. The overall acquisition price did not exceed 500,000 Federal Sol."

"They forged mining records and bought ore from other mines, using the information gap and blockade during the Lapa civil war to create an information gap."

"Besides that, we investigated evidence from multiple departments that they used money to corrupt officials, allowing them to quickly pass the approval and listing."

"This part of the violating personnel has been suspended by us and held accountable."

"We will continue to pay attention to the escaped funds and personnel. If there is any news, it will also be published in the Trading Daily and Financial Magazine at the first time."

"Currently, according to our assessment of Hope Mining's existing assets, the assets actually belonging to them are about 270,000 Federal Sol."

"There are about 55 million circulating shares. Our first compensation plan is that for every two shares held, you will receive 1 cent of compensation."

"As the funds we recover later become more and more, the compensation funds will also become more and more. We will continue to pay attention to and track this case, so please keep the stock certificates in your hands..."

At this time, Kuber was covered in sweat. Running here was just one reason, and a more important reason was the compensation method they gave.

Two shares, 1 cent?

Fuck!

His body was trembling. Although he knew it might be this result a few days ago, when the real result descended, he still couldn't control his heart panic, shortness of breath, and had a feeling that he was about to be finished!

He tightly clutched the file bag he was holding, and his mind was full of the sounds of those "victims" shouting. He numbly came to the registration place beside him.

He is not considered a person in the financial industry. He actually doesn't know clearly that 99% of this money cannot be recovered.

The Financial Management Committee giving such a disposal plan is just using an illusory hope to control them. What if? Just like they feel that the stock will soar, what if these people and money are really caught back?

Others are still "besieging" the officials of the Financial Management Committee, but Kuber has already come to the registration office.

There are not many people queuing here, and those queuing here are "laymen" like Kuber.

He looked back. Just now he also saw the stockbroker, but in the blink of an eye, the person was gone.

He swayed and followed the team forward, and soon it was his turn. He showed his stock certificate, "I have 23,500 shares."

Then he said his name, his home address, and his phone number.

The staff registered for him and signed a check for him, "This is your first compensation."

At this time, he had completely lost any sense of expectation. He picked up the check and took a look, a burst of dizziness, "117 yuan and 5 cents?"

The staff showed a regretful expression with a smile, "I'm afraid so, sir."

Kuber couldn't help laughing himself, "What can this fuck do?"

The staff seemed to have many similar experiences, "Sir, you can eat a good meal here, and then buy a train ticket home to restart your life."

"I believe you could earn so much money through your efforts before, so you can still do it now!"

Kuber was somewhat frantic. His movement amplitude was a bit large, and the police officer beside him put his hand on the holster.

This made Kuber calm down in an instant, "You are right, this is my problem."

He originally wanted to tear the check, but finally put it into his pocket.

He actually has many troubles to deal with now, for example, the bank's signed bills, about 1,000 or 2,000 yuan, or more? He can't remember clearly.

Just as he turned around and looked at this prosperous, paper-drunk and gold-obsessed world with a blank face, suddenly a loud noise rang in his ears, and the ground seemed to be shaken.

Those noisy and noisy people all suddenly closed their mouths, but what followed was even sharper screams.

Kuber touched the hot liquid on his face, then turned his head to look at the guy lying under the table. His eyeballs were squeezed out because of the huge pressure and rolled to his feet.

Although that guy's facial features have now completely collapsed, twisted, and deformed, he can still recognize that this is his stockbroker.
