Chapter 624: Chess Starts: The Intouchables Released
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the incident of Suyang Charity School has become a hot topic around the world.
Su Yang's actions are not only highly praised in China, but also admired by many fans abroad. After all, for this school, Su Yang spends nearly 100 million US dollars on charity every year.
Every year, more than a thousand children graduate from this school. This kind of charity is different from many charities. In Europe and the United States, many super-rich people are doing charity. They set up charitable foundations and even declare that they will donate all their money to charitable foundations, and the amount is huge.
At first, everyone thought it was charity, but later everyone realized that it was not charity at all, but a business. Moreover, it was a business to avoid taxes. Transferring one's money to a charity foundation was just a move of money.
However, they can use the money in charitable foundations to invest. Now, more and more wealthy people in Europe and the United States are using this trick.
So, a strange phenomenon is emerging in Europe and the United States: many super-rich individuals pay surprisingly little tax annually. Meanwhile, ordinary people pay a lot. Many multinational corporations, even those with market capitalizations of hundreds of billions or more, pay zero tax annually. Such an incredible thing is actually happening in the world right now.
Capital controls capital, and the ultimate result is definitely to serve capital.
Their charity was also for capital. But Su Yang's charity was pure charity, without any pretense. There was no investment involved. Building this school cost $500 million, and it would cost another $100 million annually.
The image that Su Yang gives people is that of an artist. It is rare for an artist to achieve this.
Now Su Yang has done it, using his own money to do charity.
Therefore, Su Yang's charity school project has been hotly discussed around the world. Su Yang's profile in Europe and the United States has also become increasingly high, and Su Yang's actions have also led to a surge in sales of many of his works.
Whether it's novels or music albums, sales are steadily increasing. The money earned from these works alone is, to put it bluntly, an astronomical figure.
While things were going on in China, in France, Barr was filled with satisfaction after watching the finished film of his new movie.
Since joining Qingyao Media, Bal has started shooting new works. After such a long period of busy work, his new film is finally completed.
"The Intouchables" was the script provided by Su Yang. The more Bal read it, the more he liked it. When it came time to film, Bal was incredibly dedicated. Coupled with a generous budget, this made Bal feel the joy of working at Qingyao Media.
Barr had made many films, but never had he experienced such a joyful experience as this one. He made all the decisions, and everyone listened to him. He could spend money, and he could just say it, and it would be immediately transferred to his bank account. This trust made Barr very grateful.
Over the past few years, Bal has witnessed a lot of indifference in the world. Now that he is being valued again, Bal has a deep sense of belonging to Qingyao Media.
This film was not only a pleasant shoot, but also solved Bal's financial problems. The salary he received from Qingyao Media allowed Bal to live a good life again.
Although he was satisfied with the sample, Bal was also a little nervous. He didn't know whether the audience would like the film. As an art film director, he hoped that the film would be well received by the public.
This time, "The Intouchables" was not released in theaters. Instead, it was released on Xinghai.
As a streaming platform under the Qingyao Group, Xinghai currently boasts high-quality content. Pay-per-view titles are also gradually increasing. This streaming platform also boasts a large global user base, much like Su Yang initially attracted with his concerts.
The Xinghai platform is still burning through cash, but all of this money is used to purchase works. Marketing expenses are not high, and Xinghai relied on Su Yang himself to quickly break out of the circle.
At 8pm, The Intouchables was officially released on Xinghai. Xinghai's homepage also gave it a large banner recommendation, and on the huge cover, the label "Screenwriter: Su Yang" was also large.
"Although my acquaintance with Mr. Bal was just a chance encounter, we had a wonderful conversation that day. It even gave me the urge to write a script for him. 'The Intouchables' was inspired by a story I heard by chance..."
Su Yang also posted a long post on his social media, and the purpose of the post was to promote the movie "The Intouchables".
This is an art film, not a commercial blockbuster. Art films prioritize storytelling. They also require a good script, as they can't rely on heaping special effects to attract viewers.
However, art films are a niche genre after all, and not many people like this type of film. So Su Yang personally went out to promote this film.
The price of this film on Xinghai is not high. In Europe and the United States, it only costs 2.99 US dollars or euros to watch this film. In China, the price of this film is only 9.9 yuan.
This price is not expensive, after all, the pay-to-play era has arrived. This price is also the mainstream price. And this movie is written by Su Yang, and Bal is also a famous director.
Su Yang’s status update immediately attracted the attention of fans.
"Wow, Brother Yang is going to get involved in art films!"
"Go watch it. I rarely watch art films..."
"You have to watch it, as long as the story is good..."
"Actually, many art films are great, and the stories are great..."
"Support, must support, the script written by Brother Yang, must support..."
Fans were buzzing about the Suyang Charity School, which had been making a lot of noise in the past few days. Everyone was wondering how they could contribute to the school.
Now the opportunity has come. Su Yang is the screenwriter of a movie. It is also a work of Qingyao Group and the price is not expensive. Why not support it?
On the Xinghai website, many people clicked on the movie "The Intouchables" and started watching it.
Benny is a French and black woman, but she has a good job as a lawyer.
Beni also likes Su Yang's music. After seeing Su Yang's updates, Beni, who usually doesn't like watching art films, curiously clicked on the movie "The Intouchables".
At the beginning of the movie, a black man is driving a car at full speed, with a police car chasing him.
A black man was caught up in his car, then he was pulled out of the car and pressed against the car by the police. Then the camera turned and the story officially began.
The camera was very good, and the whole film officially started playing. As the film played, Beni became more and more serious and was completely attracted by the story of the film.
