Chapter 399 Bayi Film Studio

After Su Mei left, she rode her bike towards the yard that was being renovated.

At this moment, the yard has been completed. Su Shengxue is holding a towel, absent-mindedly wiping the traces left on the building due to construction.

This courtyard house adopts the traditional Beijing architectural style, with green bricks and gray tiles, and an antique flavor.

The center of the Siheyuan is a spacious courtyard with smooth bluestone bricks on the ground, surrounded by corridors and rooms.

The courtyard is filled with various flowers and trees, full of vitality, which was all designed by Su Mei.

In the corner, there is a small and exquisite rockery with gurgling water on the mountain, which adds a bit of liveliness to the whole yard.

The breeze blows, the leaves rustle, making people feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

"Fifth brother." Suddenly, Su Mei's shout instantly brought Su Shengxue's thoughts back to reality.

After hearing Su Mei's voice, Su Shengxue stood up excitedly, but then lowered his head in frustration.

He looked aggrieved and a little angry: "I thought you had forgotten me, and you finally came!"

After all, the day after tomorrow is the day he will leave here, but during this period, Su Mei has never shown up.

Even if he couldn't stay, he hoped that Su Mei could come over to see him! In this way, he would feel less wronged, right?

"How could I forget! Fifth brother, the reason why I came here only now is not because I forgot about you, but because I was too busy during this period of time. Don't worry, I have taken care of your affairs." Su Mei naturally understood that she had neglected her third brother during this period of time.

Previously, she was held back by the security bureau, which delayed many things.

Su Shengxue naturally didn't really blame Su Mei. He just felt uneasy, so he felt a little emotional. After hearing Su Mei's words, his emotions eased a little: "I don't have to stay, I just feel lost here alone, and I want to see you, but you must not make things difficult for me. I am very satisfied with my trip here."

It also allows me to see the prosperous and colorful world.

"It's not difficult. Let's go out for dinner first, and then we'll deal with your business after dinner." Su Mei said, turned around and walked out.

Because the brother and sister couldn't ride the same bicycle, Su Mei had to park the bike in the yard.

After they went out, they locked the door from the outside and went to a nearby restaurant to have lunch.

After dinner, Su Mei called a tricycle and took Su Shengxue to Yenching TV Station.

At the door of Yanjing TV Station, Su Mei used a public phone to call into the TV station and called out the reporter inside.

This reporter was someone Su Mei met when she performed her first craniotomy.

At that time, she contacted a group of reporters to go to Yenching Hospital to amplify the impact of the successful operation, and this reporter was one of them.

The reporter's name is Yang Rongbing.

The reason why Su Mei had his office number was because Yang Rongbing gave it to her.

Yang Rongbing left his number so that Su Mei could contact him immediately when she had news material.

But Su Mei kept Yang Rongbing's number because she heard the conversation between Yang Rongbing and another reporter at that time.

Another reporter asked Yang Rongbing whether his father was still making movies.

"They are still filming, with some bumps and bruises, but they are still persisting. All his salary is used to buy costumes and props. Alas, the shortage of funds is severe. But if he likes it, let him film. His shots are beautiful, so he should continue." Yang Rongbing replied to another reporter helplessly.

These conversations happened to be heard by Su Mei, and she had the idea at that time that it would be great if she had the money to invest in a movie.

While the film market was still under development, she took the initiative to invest some money and establish a good relationship with Bayi Film Studio.

When the market was liberalized in the 1980s, she was able to participate in film investment with the connections she had prepared in advance.

By then she will open a celebrity agency and bring out some veteran stars, which will make her a huge fortune by the 20th century.

In the future world, the entertainment industry will be very profitable. If you can enter this field early, you will be able to make a lot of money in the future.

Unfortunately, Su Mei had little money at the time, so the plan had to be dropped.

Now she dared to think about it, and she didn't have to pay for it herself.

Su Mei can have a say in the final decision on the channels for donating the money earned from selling medical patents overseas.

As long as she promised the current director that she would allocate a small amount of funds to the production company in the next batch, she would have to establish a good relationship with the production company.

With this relationship, it will be relatively easy for Su Mei to enter this industry in the future.

Of course, entering this industry is just Su Mei's plan for his own business empire.

She came to see Yang Rongbing today and asked him to introduce her to his father, and told his father that she would donate some money to the production company, but she actually had another purpose.

Bring capital into the group.

He sent his fifth brother Su to higher education and directly invested money in the Bayi Film Studio.

It doesn't mean that he has to act. Anyway, let him follow the crew and what he does specifically depends on his own development in the future.

Anyway, start as an apprentice.

The fifth brother is well-educated and has a quick mind; he can always learn something.

By getting Su Shengxue into the production studio, Su Mei finally had someone in the film industry.

This not only kept the fifth brother in Yanjing, but also gave him a job, and also helped Su Mei's future business empire.

She did this because she had done research in advance on how rural people could stay and live in the city.

Among those methods, Su's only hope for further study is to join an actor selection group and thus enter city life.

So she decided to let her fifth brother bring in money to join the group.

Of course, she didn't want the fifth brother to act and appear on the screen.

As a modern person who has been poisoned by the bad dramas shot by modern traffic stars, Su Mei will not force a brother who can't act to act.

All she wants is to be an actress.

After settling down with this identity, what to do specifically is Su's matter of further study.

When Yang Rongbing received Su Mei's call, he was quite excited. As soon as he met Su Mei, he asked: "President Su, do you have any news for me?"

"No news!" There really was no news. Su Mei directly told Yang Rongbing why she came.

The reason why she came to find Yang Rongbing was because Su Mei could hear from Yang Rongbing's words that he supported her father's film career.

Sure enough, after hearing Su Meidao's intention, Yang Rongbing immediately agreed to help her connect with his father.

Su Mei said: "Reporter Yang, thank you!"

"What are you thanking for? My old man said at that time that with the billions of funds, it would be good if the film studio could get a few thousand yuan... But now it has happened, and he was so happy when he knew it." As he spoke, Yang Rongbing said that he would ride his motorcycle to take Su Mei and Su Shengxue there.

Soon Yang Bingrong rode out of the TV station again. He took his two siblings to the August 1st Film Studio to find his father.

This was Su Shengxue’s first time riding a motorcycle. The fast-paced feeling made him turn pale.

Fortunately, it didn’t take too long to reach our destination, the famous August 1st Film Studio.

At that time, the studio only had a small yard.

The facilities in the yard were simple, and the filming conditions were obviously difficult.

The August 1st Film Studio can be considered a significant figure in the history of Chinese cinema, but unfortunately it was poorly managed and was eliminated by the times, withdrawing from the stage of history.

After arriving at the place, Su Shengxue still didn't understand why Su Mei brought him here. He looked at Su Mei in confusion:

"What on earth are you taking me for?"

"Don't ask so many questions first, just follow me." It was still unknown whether the matter would succeed or not, and Su Mei did not explain it to Su Shengxue.

The two followed Yang Rongbing into the production studio.

Soon, Yang Rongbing found Yang Bingrong's father Yang Tian in a simple photo studio.

The heat was raging in the studio and the staff were sweating profusely.

The equipment inside was simple, and all kinds of messy wires were scattered all over the floor.

The wires were also tangled with taped connectors.

The green screen has faded from use.

The two actors who were acting were wearing cheap makeup, and the hot weather made their faces a little smudged.

The makeup blur doesn't matter, since the cameras of this era can't capture such clear details anyway. |

The shooting environment and costumes and props were even simpler than Su Mei had imagined.

Because he was filming, Yang Tian saw his son coming and just glanced at him without stopping his work.

The three of them could only watch and film from the sidelines.

In later generations, people were not allowed to enter such film sets because there were too many filming props and the producers would worry about the plot leaking.

There aren't so many rules now.

The actors spoke their lines vividly, their eyes were pure and innocent. Directors and actors of this era are all good at telling stories in a leisurely manner.

In the countryside, Su Shengxue watched movies.

Sometimes the brigade would send a movie projectionist to show movies in the countryside, and Su Shengxue squeezed in among the crowd to watch one.

Only then did he realize that this was how the movie was performed.

Someone in the team once said that everything in the movie was true.

When they watched the anti-Japanese movie and saw the actors sacrifice their lives, the villagers burst into tears.

If you insist that it was a war, the people involved really did lose their lives.

When he returns to the village, he will tell them that this is a performance, just like the operas in the market before. In addition to the movie, he has many things he wants to tell the villagers, which are things that the people in the village will never see in their lifetime.

It was not until the half-time break that Yang Rongbing was called over by his father.

Yang Rongbing called Yang Tian out, found an empty room, and told Yang Tian directly the purpose of Su Mei's visit.

After making things clear, Yang Rongbing called Su Mei and Su Shengxue over.

"You want your brother to join the film production studio. What can he do?" Yang Tian already knew about the siblings through his conversation with Su Shengxue. The one who made the decision was Su Mei. He asked Su Mei while looking at Su Shengxue.

What? If it's the film industry, then he knows nothing about it. But that's not the right way to put it. Su Mei said, "My brother also went to junior high school. He's eloquent, hardworking, good-looking and can sing.

There are many places where the crew can use people. Let him start by doing odd jobs. After staying for a long time, he will definitely learn a skill that he is interested in. My brother is very smart!"

"That means you don't know anything!" Yang Tian showed a look of understanding on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his tone full of helplessness:

"Then why should I keep him? The crew can't keep idle people, right? I can't keep him just because you want to invest and allocate funds. How can I be worthy of the organization if I do this?"

He really needed money, but he was unwilling to break his principles for a little money. Artists of this era were still quite noble, with a kind of pride of being incorruptible.

"I can learn it. I am very interested in movies. Movies will definitely get better and better in the future. I also hope that China's film industry can develop faster.

In order to promote its development, I plan to invest a few million in the production company, but..." But whether to invest or not depends on whether her brother can stay.

There's no need to be too blunt about this. We're all smart people and will understand it immediately.

Yang Tian almost fell off his chair. His body shook violently for a while before he said, "Bet...how much?"

"I can't invest too much. Although I have some small rights, the country will not allow me to invest too much money in the entertainment industry. It's just a few million." Compared with the billions of dollars in revenue from the sale of patents, a few million is indeed just a small amount.

After hearing Su Mei's affirmation again, Yang Tian and Yang Rongbing could no longer remain calm and looked at Su Mei in astonishment.

Yang Rongbing knew that Su Mei was going to invest money, and he thought it would be at most a few tens of thousands. He didn't expect Su Mei to say such a large amount.

Millions! Millions! Isn't that a lot?

Su Mei was not afraid of their gazes at all. She said:

"With my fame in Yanjing over the past year or so, I believe you should know that I definitely have the ability to transfer a few million!"

"Of course, of course." After hearing what Su Mei said, Yang Tian smiled and nodded repeatedly. He was no longer looking at Su Shengxue as a person, but as a pile of money. He said:

"Oh, your fifth brother is obviously gifted. He was born to be an actor."

Even if Su was placed in a crew as an extra for a long period of time, paid a fixed salary, and went to school and worked for the rest of his life, he would not be able to earn millions.

The production studio is making stable profits, and Yang Tian is not stupid, he knows how to settle the accounts.

As for Su Shengxue, he stood there like a sculpture from the moment Su Mei and Yang Rongbing started talking.

How many millions?

How much is that? Even a few hundred yuan is a huge sum of money for Su Shengxue.

When he heard this number from Su Mei's mouth, he suddenly felt that his own worldview was like a mirror hit by a heavy hammer, shattered.

How many millions of these numbers are there in the world? This is simply too fantastic!

Money makes the world go round.

Yang Tian was still moved.

It's not that he has low principles.

The main reason is that they gave too much. Who can bear it?
