Director’s Legend

Chapter 285: 【Enter Bollywood】

Soon Senator Love came over and said that the mayor of Mumbai invited Shao Shuaijun to dinner. As the business center and entertainment center of India, the status of Mumbai is very high, almost equivalent to the status of Mumbai in China. The mayor of Mumbai has a high political status. How to resolve this hijacking incident depends on how he wants to resolve it. .

In other words, it all depends on how the politicians represented by the mayor of Mumbai want to solve the problem. The mayor is a cover, and the power he represents is the ruler of Mumbai. The mayor of Mumbai is a man with curly hair in his fifties. He speaks Indian English full of curry. Shao Shuaijun can't understand it soon.

Fortunately, this dinner was attended not only by the mayor, but also by several city government officials.

"Mr. Shao, we have read the news in China. You are the new richest man in China. It is hard to imagine that Mr. Shao has become the richest man in China at such a young age. I don’t know that Mr. Shao has been in Mumbai for a while. If you know, you must Will come to visit in person." The mayor of Mumbai said enthusiastically.

Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "For me, wealth is just a bunch of numbers. There are many companies under my control. I never think about how much money I have. I am very happy that the mayor invited me to the dinner, but my crew is still After suffering, this is Mumbai, a financial metropolis, and a civilized city. I hope the mayor can properly rescue my crew. I am not very grateful."

The Mayor of Mumbai nodded and said, "This is what I should do, and we will try our best to resolve it. But Mr. Shao also knows that we are not dealing with Pakistan, and Pakistanis often sneak into India and engage in various illegal acts. This kidnapping case, It is likely that Pakistan did it."

Shao Shuaijun is speechless. The Indian government has a very simple and effective way to solve all kinds of dirty things, that is, if something goes wrong, if it can't be solved, it will push the matter to Pakistan. The two countries are hostile. It is simply too simple to pour a bit of dirty water on each other and shift the focus.

"Mr. Mayor, you know, I came to Bollywood to make a movie with a long-term plan. My team is very optimistic about the development of Bollywood movies. We originally planned to establish a large entertainment company in Mumbai. My company involves China and the United States, the two major entertainment powers, each year’s profits and taxes are calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars. We provide countless jobs. A single crew can solve the employment problem of hundreds of people. India is also a major entertainment country. It’s us. The target you intend to invest in."

Shao Shuaijun shook the red wine in the glass. There were red wines at various banquets. He also drank a lot, but he never drank any good red wine. If it wasn't for pretending to be a comparison on various occasions, he would never touch red wine, even if he wanted to drink it, he had to add Sprite.

Before the mayor of Mumbai spoke, one of the councillors' eyes flashed and asked: "Mr. Shao intends to start a company in Mumbai?"

"Yes, we have plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to participate in the production of Indian films and post-production special effects. Bollywood is thriving. As a businessman, it's natural to pursue profit, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, the output value of our Bollywood movies is increasing every year. This is definitely a green and pollution-free high-return investment project. We welcome Mr. Shao to invest in Mumbai. If you don’t mind, we can talk while eating. Will give Mr. Shao the most favorable investment convenience. This... how is Mr. Shao going to invest?"

Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "Maybe to cooperate with a big Bollywood film company, while participating in the production of Indian films, while operating Indian films to the world. You know, my entertainment company, a Dreamcatcher, is China’s largest entertainment company. A Summit Entertainment has become the largest independent production company in North America. My entertainment company is not only involved in the entertainment industry, but also supported by the rising industry of the Internet. Summit Entertainment has mastered the nation’s largest bib twitter and smartphone software development. The current capital is Seventeen or eight billion dollars, once listed, wow, how many times will it double, who knows..."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Shao is a world-class rich man, I think we can talk more deeply about cooperation." The mayor of Mumbai said with a smile.

Shao Shuaijun blinked his eyes: "However, my crew now has safety issues. Although we are profiting, we are more concerned about safety. As a listed company, pleasing shareholders is the top priority. No one can guarantee the safety of an employee. The company is confident, what do you say?"

A congressman laughed and said: "Mr. Shao can rest assured that Mumbai is an Asian financial center. Our development is obvious to all. Under the guidance of democracy and freedom, Mumbai’s future is full of expectations. We, the Mumbai City Government, have the obligation and responsibility to guarantee us. The investment businessmen are safe, and for this, they spare no effort."

...

When Li Xiuxiu flew to Mumbai in the middle of the night, Shao Shuaijun had almost talked with the Mumbai city government. The entertainment industry is the pillar industry of Mumbai. It is a huge investment for this group of officials. It is not only Chinese officials who need political performance, it is similar all over the world, especially Mumbai in India.

"Wife, don't you think I'm not good? I'm in the city. I will either go to the hotel or consulate, or to the police station and the city government. No matter what happens." Li Xiuxiu can come, Shao Shuaijun is funny and moved.

Li Xiuxiu gave a white look: "Tell me what to say about you. The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. India is so chaotic. When you had to come here to make a movie, I will bear it. Now that there is such a big danger, you still come. Do you know if there are guns in the underworld, everything can be done."

"I'm not going to negotiate with the underworld, they are just as cruel, can they greet me?" Shao Shuaijun hugged Li Xiuxiu and said with a smile on his face.

"There is no right way, don't you know that there are often terrorist activities here in Mumbai, how terrible there are bombings everywhere."

"It's terrible that you are here too."

"I worry about you!"

Shao Shuaijun kissed Li Xiuxiu's forehead: "Don't worry, I am a rich man now, with a bunch of bodyguards around me. I just finished eating with the Mayor of Mumbai. If I had an accident in Mumbai, he should commit suicide and apologize. "

After comforting Li Xiuxiu, I arrived at the hotel. Mumbai has developed well in recent years. There are several five-star hotels, and here is one. After having another dinner with Li Xiuxiu, she started talking about business.

"How do you say the matter this time? It should be resolved. I have almost talked with the Mumbai city government. I will invest in a film company in Mumbai and build a building to serve as the headquarters of the Dream Entertainment Group in India. In the future, we will fully enter the Indian film market. In return, the Mumbai city government will reconcile the traffickers, let them leave safely, and release the crew completely."

"That's the solution? Isn't it difficult?" Li Xiuxiu wiped her mouth.

"It's not difficult at first. As long as you have money, the rules of the world will revolve around you. But you have not seen the ugliness of the Mumbai city government. For them, as long as they have political achievements, it does not matter whether the criminals escaped. Earlier, I vowed to be responsible for the people of Mumbai and never let the criminals go. Now, it’s not ambiguous at all to say that the criminals will be let go. It’s really...very interesting.”

"So socialism is good."

"Haha, yes." Shao Shuaijun also laughed, "Speaking of which, I remembered that people in the Mumbai City Government are proud to say that Mumbai is the financial center of Asia and the best city in Asia for development. I I really don’t know where their confidence comes from. Mumbai has more than half of the population living in slums. Except for a few places, other places are messy, messy and bad, so I am embarrassed to call myself an Asian financial center. This time the matter was solved. I should really invite them to visit the magic city and see what a real financial center is."

"It's worth a try."

...

With the money offensive, the kidnapping incident was resolved successfully. The Mumbai police lifted the siege of human traffickers. In the afternoon of the next day, the criminals disappeared cleanly and the crew was free. Except for a few bruises, there were no more serious injuries.

Of course, many precious equipment was broken during the kidnapping process, but compared to human safety, this is a shit.

"Danny, what are your plans now? Although the crew has been rescued, everyone has some emotional problems. Do you want to continue shooting?" Shao Shuaijun found Danny Boyle. As the name suggests, "Slumdog Millionaire" naturally has a lot of Shooting scenes in slums, as long as they are still shooting in slums, the danger cannot be ruled out.

Danny smiled bitterly and said: "We have already made a lot of progress. We can't give up because of a little difficulty. I think I will stick to it. If the other people on the crew don't want to stay here and work, let them go. Bollywood added. I will definitely insist on finishing the film."

"Since you insist, I won't say much. If you are willing to stay and work, I will pay them double the salary, and I have already decided to invest in a film company in India. I will send a team over to work with Bollywood. The film company negotiates and gives you the utmost support. Moreover, I am pleased that I still have the title of producer, but the power is handed over to you. You are the master of this movie. My girlfriend does not allow me to continue India stayed."

Shao Shuaijun spread his hands. Even though the crisis passed safely and the company wanted to take root in India, Li Xiuxiu still did not promise Shao Shuaijun to stay in India and continue to be a producer. For her, India is a dangerous country. Shao Shuaijun stays here for a while, and she will not be able to settle down for a moment.

"Shao, I want to thank you for trusting me so much. An accident happened to the crew and it took a huge price to settle it. I also agreed to let me continue filming."

Shao Shuaijun patted Danny on the shoulder: "It's nothing, it's the biggest thanks to filming the movie well."

In Danny Boyle's view, in order to save the crew, Shao Shuaijun had to invest in Bollywood and sacrificed a lot. But in fact, Shao Shuaijun just pushed the boat along the way. He originally planned to invest in India. Many Indian films have gone international, and the prospects for investment here are very good. And he also knows several popular Indian movies, such as "Bollywood Robot Love", "My Name is Khan" and so on, which are worth investing in.

With a population of more than one billion, India will soon surpass China and become the most populous country in the world. With the development of the economy, the film market will definitely become more and more active, and more and more people will go to cinemas. India is the country with the largest gap between the rich and the poor in the world, but society always has to progress. More and more poor Indians will become rich, and they are all potential customers.

To comfort the crew and actors, Shao Shuaijun had to rush back to the hotel under Li Xiuxiu's repeated urging to pack his things and return to China. The investment company here will arrange for a dedicated manager to take over.

Before leaving, Shao Shuaijun invited the Mayor of Mumbai to visit the city of Mumbai in a wicked way, hoping that he could understand what a real Asian financial center is like.

A crisis disappeared.

After leaving India, Shao Shuaijun led a reclusive life and disappeared from public view. Even if I went to the crew of "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan", I couldn't keep Shao Shuaijun from appearing. The Hurun Report has given Shao Shuaijun countless envy and hatred. Numerous entertainment reporters and financial reporters are looking forward to interviewing him.

So Shuaijun Shao wisely hid and went to Europe.

His purpose in coming to Europe is very simple, that is, to learn how to fly a plane. He has already customized an A380 aircraft at Airbus, and Dream Entertainment Group has also customized an A380. As the buyer of the two aircraft, Shao Shuaijun received an imperial treatment at Airbus.

He was accompanied by someone to learn how to fly a plane.

Learning to drive a large plane is just for fun, what he really wants to learn is to drive a small plane and helicopter.

For him, driving luxury cars and sports cars is played by the rich second generation. As the rich generation, as the richest man in China, as a tasteful man, only airplanes and yachts can represent his identity.

Accompanied by Shao Shuaijun were an assistant team led by Zhang Huahua and a bodyguard team led by several trusted personal bodyguards. It is these bodyguards who really want to learn to fly a plane. Let Shao Shuaijun fly a plane once in a while and he will be happy. Every time he comes to fly a plane, this is not enjoyment but torture.

The big guys should be on the fly, enjoying food, bathing, and being surrounded by beauties, instead of tossing in a small cockpit.

"This button controls the opening and closing of the cabin door, and this button provides an emergency call for help..." On the indoor simulator, the flight instructor meticulously directed.

"OK, I know it all. I am familiar with airplanes. Now I am going to drive." Shao Shuaijun rubbed his palms excitedly, put on a simulated helmet, and started flying the simulator.

Less than half a minute later, the plane headed into the mountains on the big screen and then crashed.

"Wow, is this joystick malfunctioning? No matter how I lift it up, I can't climb." Shao Shuaijun blinked and blushed.

"In fact, there is a button here, which is a switch that controls the vertical climb. You must turn it on to climb. As we have just said, you have already failed the previous simulated flight because of this."

"Really?" Shao Shuaijun was stunned for three seconds, and then took off his helmet. "Actually, I am really familiar with airplanes. I often... fly by plane, really... let's take a break first. I feel like I I feel dizzy."

The instructor smiled and said: "Okay... Mr. Shao, I have seen your filming "Inception", "Source Code", "Painted Skin" and "500 Days with Summer" which is currently being released. My daughter is very Like you, can you ask for an autograph for her?"

"of course."

It’s not possible to fly a plane, it’s okay to sign. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
