Amid countless applause, Said stood up excitedly and clapped vigorously.
Everyone saw him, and everyone showed respect with their eyes, but he did not look at everyone.
"good, very good!"
He walked quickly towards Zhao Ziluo and held his hand firmly: "This is the best Saudi music I have ever heard!"
Li Chengzhe pursed his lips.
He also created two pieces of pure music with the theme of Saudi Arabia.
But obviously, he didn't win Said's heart - even though he was smiling at the time.
But he asked himself that neither song could reach the level of "Out of Saudi Arabia".
At this moment, a strong sense of frustration surged into my heart.
"He's only 22 years old!"
"When I was 22 years old, I was still learning music theory from that Chinese guy!"
"Is the musical talent of Chinese people so abnormal?"
He sighed silently: "I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Ms. Oriana, you can comment on the next content."
After saying that, he walked away.
Oriana's face turned pale.
Li Chengzhe didn't want to see the other party being praised, so why did she? ?
The arrogance I once felt was like a slap on my face.
It hurts.
"Teacher Kong Fang, you must enjoy the delicacies in the desert." Said held Zhao Ziluo in his arms and walked out: "For example, roasted camels and roasted scorpions, these are delicacies that cannot be tasted elsewhere!"
The two of them walked all the way to the restaurant, and the food was served quickly.
First up is the golden grilled hump.
This thing, to put it bluntly, is fat.
It will melt after being roasted, and it will smell fishy if the heat is not enough.
But the roasted camel hump in Saudi Arabia has a unique flavor. The outer skin is crispy and golden. When you bite it, the rich aroma of fat spreads in your mouth, and the oily water dances sizzlingly on the tip of your tongue.
Zhao Ziluo's appetite was whetted and he ate several skewers.
After filling his stomach, Said smiled and said: "This music is very helpful to me. If the teacher has any requirements, just ask!"
Zhao Ziluo took a sip of Sha Zao wine and shook his head with a smile.
Being able to perform in the Sky Hall is equivalent to taking the first step as an artist.
He has gained a lot.
But just because he didn't care, it didn't mean that Said didn't care.
He personally helped Zhao Ziluo pour the wine and said with a smile: "This year is the birthday of my father, who is responsible for me."
"I am a prince, but there is more than one prince."
"Every year at the birthday dinner, we strive to show our faces in front of our father. Your song really helped me a lot!"
"If you need anything, just ask! Money??"
Zhao Ziluo did not expect Said, as a prince, to speak so straightforwardly.
He likes this character.
But still refused: "I don't..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he sighed.
It’s not that there is no shortage of money.
There is no shortage of small money.
Next, "The Walking Dead" will enter a turning third season.
The filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will also be put on the schedule.
Accompanied by this is the establishment of a film and television base.
"A money problem?" Said asked tentatively after observing his words.
Zhao Ziluo smiled bitterly: "It would be easy for me to spend hundreds of millions, but next I plan to build a film and television base in Hongjiang, and I am short of money."
"How many?"
Zhao Ziluo didn't take it seriously and said casually: "Start at five billion."
"So expensive?" Said was also a little surprised.
Zhao Ziluo waved his hand: "It's not expensive... China has a long history, and costume films take up half of the sky. If you want to make a costume film, you have to pay attention to a dynasty."
The financial problem of the film and television base has always been a headache for him. At this moment, everyone is like familiar strangers, and some problems that are usually kept in their hearts can be freely confided.
Anyway, everyone will say goodbye soon. Maybe we'll never see him again.
Seid nodded thoughtfully.
Zhao Ziluo became interested: "At least I have to prepare palaces in the four major styles of Qing, Ming, Republic of China, Han and Tang Dynasties."
"Also, China has a long history of mythology. I also need to prepare places such as the fairy world and the underworld."
Burning money...
But it has to be done.
There is a qualitative difference in the look and feel between something shot in real locations and a drama shot with a green screen! !
A director named Nolan on Earth is a fan of physical shooting - for example, "Inception" was shot in real locations.
He created a city with all his heart!
But the texture produced is not comparable to the special effects.
There was some silence at the dinner table.
When we talked about unhappy things, everyone was not in high spirits.
Zhao Ziluo started to taste the desert special barbecue, but when he was eating grilled scorpions, Said, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Three billion??"
Zhao Ziluo was stunned: "Ah?"
"Is it enough to invest three billion?" Said immediately said: "The film and television city."
Zhao Ziluo:? ? ?
Boy, do you know what you are talking about?
Although he was very moved, he still shook his head and said: "Even if "Out of Saudi Arabia" is sold, it is not worth the price."
Said did not continue to speak.
He shook the glass gently.
The brown angustifolia wine ripples with amber light in the glass.
He is young, about twenty-four or five years old.
But when he spoke again, the greenness on his face had changed, and he looked like a veteran who had been in the mall for decades.
"I remembered something." He said thoughtfully: "At the beginning of last year, Anthony Levis came to see me."
Zhao Ziluo asked subconsciously: "Which Levi's..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned.
Levi's.
One of the seven major capitals behind Rongsen, the Xilu Levis family!
Seeing his expression, Seid said leisurely: "The Levis family is in charge of the largest arms deal in the world."
"Teacher Kong Fang, do you remember where the war was most intense sixty or seventy years ago?"
Zhao Ziluo recalled it.
Sixty or seventy years ago...according to Blue Star's history, the World War had ended by then.
But there are still several places in Blue Star that are known as "tinderboxes."
America launched the "Saudi Spring" movement, turning Saudi Arabia into the biggest powder keg.
"Saudi?" he asked tentatively.
Said said calmly: "Yes, the Levis family has made a fortune in Saudi Arabia for several lifetimes."
"Why do you think they want to get into the entertainment industry?"
Zhao Ziluo frowned slightly: "Money laundering?"
Said took a sip of wine: "It's just one of them."
There is a lot of black money in the arms trade, and the entertainment industry is the best way to launder it.
"The second is... to beautify them and gain cultural discourse power."
"Every war movie you know of, no matter who the producer is, ends up with the Levis family."
Zhao Ziluo pondered: "But aren't all war movies anti-war?"
Said smiled and shook his head: "For example, in a movie, the protagonist wants to save his daughter or wife because of debts."
"Then I came into contact with arms by chance."
"The film tells you that the reason why we do arms business is for freedom. It's because 'peace through war will lead to peace.'"
"What do you think after reading this?"
Zhao Ziluo took a deep breath.
This is the influence of ideology!
But it is true that the United States and Europe on earth control the world through such ideological influence!
On earth, China is also affected by ideology, and not to a lesser extent.
For example, they squint their eyes for aesthetics, the air in foreign countries is particularly sweet, and they would rather starve to death in Japan than go back... These are typical examples.
But he didn't expect Said to be so detailed.
I didn’t expect that an arms industry that is beyond the reach of eight poles can actually be closely connected with the entertainment industry!
But if you think about it carefully, it is unexpected and reasonable!
He asked cautiously: "Then why don't you join?"
The princes of the Saudi Alliance are really no weaker than the heirs of those old families!
In terms of financial resources.
Said shrugged: "No one is leading the way."
"Anthony said they have six or seven consortiums entering together."
"But I asked, and every one of them is a big influence who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years."
"We're not going in...what do you mean?"
"Oh! That's right! The money-giving boy!"
Zhao Ziluo's mind began to spin rapidly.
Said is not an innocent and cute little prince.
The other party's meaning is very clear. He also wants to enter the Chinese market.
I hope Zhao Ziluo can cooperate.
but……
Do you really want to promise him?
Zhao Ziluo quickly analyzed the consequences.
"If I agree, there will be one more foreign power besides Rongsen, and Said will rely on me."
Rongsen has already started to take action, and the equity has been distributed. If Said still wants to enter at this time, there is a high probability that he will be rejected by other capital.
He could only choose Zhao Ziluo.
Can Zhao Ziluo make him money?
Obvious!
"The Dance of Demons copy has started at this time, and then it's time to compete for financial resources."
"For example, in those important channels, no matter how good the relationship between Douyin and me is, if Rongsen asks Douyin to reduce my exposure if I spend one billion, Douyin will definitely do it."
Again.
This is not a question of betrayal or not.
Just a normal choice for capital.
Nor does he feel angry.
"This is true for Douyin, Weibo, WeChat and so on."
Not to mention this.
Let’s talk about the second step of the main mission.
If he wants to create an award.
So what if Rong Sen issued an ultimatum to other artists and were not allowed to participate in this award?
The most convenient way is to throw money at it!
At his level, things that can be solved with money are much more cost-effective than exchanging benefits with the other party!
"I need money."
"a lot of money!"
Thinking of this, he already made a decision in his mind.
"Shall we set up another company?" he asked tentatively.
Said smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "I will send a team to China immediately!"
Zhao Ziluo took a deep breath and solemnly said: "I declare in advance that I must hold 52% of the shares of this company!"
"And I will decide the time to market!"
Said asked perceptively: "The shares are fine, but what about the dividends?"
Shares and dividends are not the same thing.
Shares represent the right to speak.
Dividends are profits.
Said's meaning is obvious: he can give you more than half of the shares, allowing Zhao Ziluo to have full say.
But if he gave in, Zhao Ziluo would have to give in.
"I only want 20% of the profits for dividends."
"Can!"
