Chapter 1439 1441 [Kunpeng]
After Xiang Nan and Chunming reached an agreement, Kunpeng Real Estate was established with a registered capital of 20 million RMB.
The legal person of Kunpeng Real Estate is Feng Aihong. She has retired from the sub-district office now, so she has no problem being a legal person of a real estate company.
Xiang Nan, Cai Xiaoli, and Cheng Baoguo are all civil servants with administrative positions, so their identities are more embarrassing.
Chunming is the general manager, with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, depending on performance at the end of the year, and a large dividend.
Such treatment made Cheng Yuejin jealous.
He is now the section chief of the National Development and Reform Bureau, and his monthly salary is less than 2,000, which is quite a bit lower than Chunming. Envious of him, he wanted to resign from the public office and work in Xiang Nan's company.
"Brother, is your salary too high? It makes me want to resign." Cheng Yuejin said to Xiang Nan.
"Shut up~" Xiang Nan glared at him, "You are doing a good job as the section chief of the Development and Reform Bureau now, who doesn't think highly of you. Those big bosses worth tens of millions have to be respectful in front of you But if you resign, no matter how rich you are, a clerk can show you face.
Besides, doing business is not as easy as you think. You have to run in every department, and you have to bear all kinds of anger. You still have to take care of the people below. If you don't have any real skills, they won't accept you. Unlike government agencies, officials and senior officials crush people to death, no matter how capable they are, they can only endure it.
So you just stay in the unit honestly. If you want money, just tell me, don't think about it. "
"I see, brother." Cheng Yuejin nodded.
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, he also felt that it made sense.
Being an official, the salary is not high, but the social status is high. Especially for a department with real power like him, who is in charge of the development and construction of Chongwen District, which is related to the well-being of millions of people, and has great power.
This also makes him quite famous. Every day, many managers and bosses come to him, and he is tired of pushing all kinds of wine and dinner.
But if he resigns and goes to sea, then he will be the one asking for help, and his status will be very different from before. So it's better to stay in the unit.
Fortunately, with Xiang Nan's help, he is not short of money. Not to mention anything else, when Hujiang issued stock subscription certificates last year, he hoarded a batch of them, and he made millions in one hand.
…
After the establishment of Kunpeng Real Estate, it began to acquire land around the capital and develop real estate.
Xiang Nan has considerable accumulation in the real estate field, and knows the development of the capital in detail. Many plots now look like a wasteland, extremely remote, and birds don't shit.
But wait another two years, it will be included in the planning, build subways, pave roads, build schools, and become a bustling downtown area. Therefore, it is natural for him to get a certain amount of land. Not only the location is accurate, but also the bottom price.
Coupled with his connections, loans are also more convenient, so Kunpeng Real Estate developed quickly. The initial capital was 20 million yuan, and by the end of the year, the assets had expanded to 200 million yuan, which is very impressive.
…
In September 1991, Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" participated in the Venice Film Festival and won the Silver Lion Award in one fell swoop.
Although it failed to win the Golden Lion Award, the highest award, it was already the highest award won by a mainland filmmaker at the Venice Film Festival, so it was an honorable defeat.
Xiang Nan specially sent them a congratulatory message, and invited Zhang Yimou to come to Beijing after returning to China, and discuss things in detail.
…
In October 1991, "Father and Son", directed by Feng Xiaogang and starring Feng Gong, was officially launched.
The film was originally called "I Am Your Father". When it was submitted for trial, a staff member suggested that the name was a bit of a curse word and not elegant, so they were forced to change it.
Actually, in real life, he also directed this movie, and he directed and acted on his own. But in 1991, his fame was not that great. If you direct and act on your own, you are afraid that you will not be able to hold the stage, and you are also afraid that the audience will not accept it.
Feng Gong is a familiar face of the Spring Festival Gala, a well-known comedian, and has already filmed works such as "The Five", "The True Story of Ah O", "Amateur Police", "Laughing and Breaking Love".
One has experience, and the other has popularity. In addition, Feng Xiaogang has also collaborated with Feng Gong on sketches such as "I'm Wrong", "Noodles and the Crown", "The Idea Company" and other works in the past two years. They are familiar with each other, so they hit it off immediately.
After the launch of "Father and Son" in October, the market reaction can only be considered mediocre. The final box office was 6 million, which is not particularly high. In comparison, when Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" was first released, the box office in the mainland had a box office of 30 million.
Feng Xiaogang was hit hard for a while, he didn't expect that the box office of his carefully created work was only 6 million. You must know that although this movie is a small budget, it also cost two million yuan.
Many of the funds were saved by Wang Yi, Ye Jing, Ma Weidu and other brothers. Now the box office is 6 million, excluding the theater chain, excluding the share of Beijing Film Group, a few of them are worth nothing.
This confuses Feng Xiaogang. Such a good story, such a good actor, coupled with his hard work, why the box office is not good.
Xiang Nan felt normal.
On the one hand, although "Father and Son" is close to life, it lacks commercial elements. To be honest, who pays money to go to the theater to watch such short stories from parents?
On the one hand, the promotion of "Father and Son" is not enough. The reason why "Red Sorghum" and "Raise the Red Lantern" achieved high box office is that Zhang Yimou first won awards abroad and became famous. The domestic media also sought after them, which virtually gave the film exposure.
And "The Enemy Father and Son" did not do any decent publicity from the start of filming to the release. And even if Feng Xiaogang wanted to publicize, because the media at that time belonged to the state, there were no newspapers or magazines to sell him face.
Therefore, the exposure of "Father and Son" is seriously insufficient. Even Wang Yi's book fans don't know that this movie is being released, so it is naturally difficult to support it.
In addition, the current movie market is immature. Box office under-reporting and under-reporting are very serious, and the box office of six million may not be the real figure. It's a pity that with the abilities of Feng Xiaogang, Wang Yi and others, even if they have doubts, they can't investigate at all.
…
"It doesn't matter. As a new director, it's the first filming. If you don't lose money, you'll earn money." Xiang Nan comforted him, "The most important thing for you now is to learn experience and take a road trip. When you figure out all the joints, think It’s not hard to make money, of course.”
Feng Xiaogang blinked, "Master Cheng, do you really think I can do it?"
"Nonsense, if you can't do it, why should I cooperate with you?" Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "I don't know how many directors in China want to cooperate with me."
Hearing what he said, Feng Xiaogang immediately regained some confidence, "Thank you, I understand."
"Well, children can be taught." Xiang Nan nodded, and then took out a script, "Take this script and think about it carefully."
Feng Xiaogang took a look, and saw six words on the cover—"Yanjing People in New York".
