Chapter 2584 Antique investment is difficult

When you come to Cannes, it is natural to miss the European film festival - the Cannes Film Festival.

In this film festival, there is a work strongly recommended by Zhou Buqi, which is the film "Life Visa" directed by An Li, which reflects the story of diplomat He Fengshan during the Republic of China.

It's best to win the Palme d'Or, the biggest prize, in one fell swoop.

As for how to operate specifically...

That's not so clear.

When I arrived in Cannes, I learned some surprising news from posters on the local roadside.

The chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival is the famous Steven Spielberg.

Hollywood.

Jews.

A close partner of Universal Pictures.

It's like a jury president tailor-made for "Life Visa".

The Cannes Film Festival is an event.

Not only actors from all over the world can come, but also movie fans from all over the world. More than 1,800 films have been selected for this event.

Movie fans can buy tickets to watch their favorite movies.

Yang Mi also came and walked along the red carpet with the crew of "Life Visa". Zhou Buqi criticized her, saying that her acting skills were mediocre, but she had the potential to be a carpet star.

She herself was not convinced.

She said that her studio also participated in the investment of this project along with Jieyu Media, investing US$500,000. Although the money is not much, he is a real investor.

Why is it just a red carpet?

She is a shareholder!

Aboveboard!

Zhou Buqi couldn't say much in such a public occasion. He only had one day in Cannes, and he mainly watched movies. After picking and choosing, I found a domestic film called "Destiny" that was destined not to be released in China.

The movie is very well made and is adapted from real events.

The actors also performed well.

Zhou Buqi especially praised Wang Baoqiang and sat next to him while watching the movie, "In my opinion, you are the best actor in China!"

"I can't bear it, I can't bear it."

Wang Baoqiang felt that such praise was too much and even a bit false.

Zhou Buqi said: "I'm telling the truth. There are not many actors of this level in the world who can take over the two major markets of literary films and commercial films."

Wang Baoqiang said very modestly: "I am just a young actor, and everything is arranged by the director."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "By the way, your contract is with Jieyu Media?"

"OK."

"Don't want to leave?"

"hey-hey……"

Wang Baoqiang scratched his head.

Now the domestic film market has exploded, and many top A-list stars have started their own companies and gone solo. He almost set up his own studio.

When we were filming "Unfortunately", people like Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo were all signed by Jieyu Media.

However, at the end of last year, Xu Zheng was the first to break out of the contract, compensated the company 35 million, and set up his own company. The next step is to become a director and take charge of a movie project.

Zhou Buqi whispered: "People are unpredictable, especially when you have too much money, many simple things will become very complicated..."

Wang Baoqiang said quickly: "I don't want to leave yet."

"I'm not working as a lobbyist for Jieyu Media..." Zhou Buqi smiled, "Of course, it's best to stay and set up a studio affiliated with Jieyu Media. The risk can be smaller. If you want to leave yourself If you work alone, you must be rational. Do you know what rational means?"

Wang Baoqiang smiled naively, "How can I understand that?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Rationality means coolness."

"ah?"

Wang Baoqiang was startled.

Zhou Buqi said: "Many people like to do things emotionally, especially those of you who are actors, you are very emotional, which is very inappropriate. The big stars in Hollywood have their own studios, and there are so many accidents. Yes. Nicolas Cage, you know, right?"

"Hollywood superstar."

"Yes, when he was at his most popular, one movie could earn tens of millions of dollars. But he trusted his manager too much and lost all his money. Just take a rag and say that he is the Pharaoh of Egypt. Any used antique can sell for millions of dollars.”

"Fake?"

"Whether it's true or false, it won't work. It won't work if it's fake or real. It's not right." Zhou Buqi found out that he really didn't understand at all, and it was out of good intentions that he didn't want him to be around him in the future. People trap, "If you don't have money, it may not matter, but when you have money, everyone is watching you."

Wang Baoqiang nodded, a little confused.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Anyway, if you go out to work alone, you must hire professionals you don't know and have no friendship with you. Especially in the financial aspect, you must hire professionals to take care of it. Management. If it’s not good, fire and replace him, don’t be sentimental.”

Wang Baoqiang still didn’t quite understand, so he asked cautiously: “Nicolas Cage bought an Egyptian antique...why is it really not possible? If it is true, the money was not wasted.”

Zhou Buqi said: "Playing with things makes you lose your mind."

"oh."

Wang Baoqiang seemed to understand.

Zhou Buqi said: "If you are a professional, I will definitely not support you in doing this. Investing in the antique business is not something ordinary people should do at all."

"That's it..."

Wang Baoqiang scratched his head.

I murmured in my heart.

I feel that I am one of the first-tier actors in China. I can basically pick up any comedy, action film, art film or drama.

Have these become ordinary people?

Well, compared to Boss Zhou, he is indeed an ordinary person.

Zhou Buqi said: "The antique business is too complicated. If you buy the right thing once, you may buy the wrong thing eight times out of ten times. Being an actor is also very hard, and you finally made some money... You must be steady when investing. You After you succeed and have value, countless people and institutions will come to you to start a business, help you with investment and financial management, etc. The water is too deep."

Wang Baoqiang's face was a little hot, "There are many people like this around me now, and they say they can make my money double in a few years..."

Zhou Buqi said: "Many big actors in Hollywood, including many NBA stars, earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the peak of their careers, but lost all their money in a few years, and even filed for bankruptcy protection. How could such a lot of money be so short? How many years have you been ruined? You drive a luxury car every day, pick up beautiful women and enjoy life, and you will never be able to spend it all in your lifetime. Just like many rich second generations, they can't ruin their wealth even if they squander in their lifetime. No matter how hard it is, no matter how thick your family fortune is, it can be emptied out within a few years.”

In fact, this means that it is better for him to stay.

On the one hand, if he stays, he can indeed keep profits and relationships with Jieyu Media. On the other hand, it is really a long-term consideration for his future personal development.

Wang Baoqiang is a great actor, and all his abilities are in his performance.

This is different from a certain vice president or project director of Ziweixing quitting the company and then taking all his property to start a business.

You can do it if you want, but it depends on whether you have the professional ability.

Under the platform of Jieyu Media, part of the money earned may be taken away, but this is a safe haven. There are several professional departments such as Jieyu Media’s marketing department, public relations department, finance department, investment department, and film department. Supervision and protection by thousands of people.

It is almost impossible to play capital transfer tricks on Baoqiang Studio under the nose of Jieyu Media.

…

Zhou Buqi used the example of Nicolas Cage's bankruptcy to warn Wang Baoqiang that actors must not collect antiques. This industry is too deep and there are too many scammers.

If you want to enter the industry, you must have confidence.

It doesn't matter if you were cheated.

Obviously, Zhou Buqi is this kind of person. After leaving Cannes, he went to Paris.

Here, he met senior Wu Yu.

She became interested in collecting.

There’s always something big to do!

This time, I want to get rid of the French collector's widow, and then buy the national treasure Panfang Lei and send it back to the country. One Danfang Lei may not be enough. See what other collections her family has. It is best to pack them all and take them away at once.
