Chapter 1135 The Fifth Institute
The day after playing low-end games with Lai Biao and Chen Feng, Nan Yi went to Xinrongzhai to listen to Li Xiangrong's talk about the high-end games.
In the early years, Li Xiangrong spent several years to find out the big speculators in the antique industry. The two sides gradually came into contact with each other. Gradually, they could play together. In 1999, an underground organization called "The Fifth Institute" Established, this organization is everyone united to fry antiques.
The reason for this name is that, in the Qing Dynasty, the “Antique Room”, an organization specialized in storing and storing antiques, was located in the fifth of the North Five Institutes. Second, it was established by five people, namely Li Xiangrong, Aixinjueluo Chan, Qiu Miaozhi, Niu Guoshi, Fu Changhai.
These five people can be said to be inextricably linked with the antique house back then. Aixinjue Luochang’s grandfather was the clan who was appointed to stay in the capital to hide the treasures in the palace when Cixi’s old gangster ran away. Li Xiangrong and Qiu Miaozhi are the descendants of eunuchs, and their ancestors often dumped things from the palace; Niu Guoshi and Fuchanghai are the descendants of the inner guards, and their ancestors were responsible for guarding the fifth piece.
So, the name of the Fifth Institute can be used to point out the origin of everyone, and it will not be too direct like an antique house. If you are not familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty, most people will not be able to understand what the Fifth Institute does.
In the antique shop, there are many stories about eunuchs and down-and-out Eight Banners selling antiques for money in the early years of the Republic of China. This boutique only cost five oceans to collect, and the out-of-print only cost twenty oceans. There are many such stories. In fact, these The story is more false than true.
Let’s just talk about the Eight Banners. Once they are mentioned, most people feel that their images are all ugly. This is a very wrong perception. Five fingers have lengths, and people can be divided into good and bad. There are always good people in any crowd.
In the early years of the Republic of China, not only Han Chinese antique dealers were collecting some high-quality goods, but also the elites of the Eight Banners were also doing this.
It is said that antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, there will always be a day of peace in this troubled times. Just in troubled times, the family has surplus money, collecting antiques and hiding them, waiting for peace. It will be very rich.
It’s just that the bottom-hunters didn’t expect the troubled times to last so long and be so tragic. Most of the bottom-hunters lost their fortunes or were ruined before the arrival of peace. People managed to get through the troubled times. When they raised their heads to look, they immediately shrank back. The world is peaceful, but the antiques are not.
After suffering and suffering until the 1980s, the dawn finally came, but at this time, the bargain hunters also survived. Among the five people, Li Xiangrong was removed, and the remaining four were the descendants of the bargain hunters. stand out.
Of course, they survived to the end. It has nothing to do with the fact that they are not fighting alone, and there are a group of people standing behind them supporting them. What they represent is not only themselves, but the interests of a group of people.
"Master Nan, according to everyone's opinion, the next two years will mainly be speculations on paintings from the Qing Dynasty period. The four major antique dealers have also been contacted. We will work together with several auction houses."
"Qingmin, a friend of mine bought a lot of calligraphy and paintings of modern calligraphers and painters back then. I will call her in a few days and ask her to deliver the things. You can help me with them. His identity is sensitive and he cannot sell them privately. , Every step must be checked.”
"It's not difficult. It can be put in the auction house. It will definitely stand up to investigation. It's just the source of the thing?"
Nan Yi smiled lightly, "I bought them from museums and state-owned cultural relics stores back then. One yuan for a character, two yuan for a painting, and more than ten yuan for works by top famous artists. The receipts are still there. The money for shopping The origin is also right, starting from selling breakfast at the university, and later selling water and second-hand bicycles, all of which were saved every penny."
Li Xiangrong smiled and said, "Master Nan, you instructed me, right?"
"Forget it, maybe I'm worrying too much. He is now facing the critical moment of retirement at sixty or sixty-five, and he may not be thinking about selling things. If that's the case, I have to trouble you to go to Fengtian to have a look. It is suitable for sifting out those that have been stored for a long time."
"No trouble, I would like to thank Master Nan for giving me the opportunity to curry favor with one of the princes."
"We can't talk about it for the time being. He still has two hurdles to break through. Xiangrong, don't worry about the monkey ticket. If you let it go, you will let your heart out. It's almost time to get out."
"Shipping is easy, but the quantity is still too large, and some have to be destroyed."
"You can figure it out. They are all dead things. I won't feel bad even if they destroy 90% of them. I will find the dealer and ask them if they are willing to take it. If it is broken, it will not be good for business."
"Master Nan, where's your bottom line?"
"There are eight zeros in the back, and the numbers in front are not particular. The money is based on 541 points. I will give you 10% of my share, and I won't give you the rest. You can take care of it."
"Master Nan, you've broken me. One percent is already a big deal."
"That's it, help me find a pen holder, within 10,000, if it is a famous work that can calm people, don't soak it in a dung tank, Mai Tai."
"It's easy to say, it's not hard to find high-quality pen holders that are fake on the market."
"Yeah." Nan Yi nodded, glanced at the shelves, and said inexplicably, "Have you heard about the golden jade clothes?"
"I've heard about it two years ago. Some people don't want to lose their faces just for some money." Li Xiangrong said contemptuously, "How dare you estimate 2.4 billion for a fake thing."
"It's their business to be shameless. We have to be shameless. Now some local bosses have not learned other things. They are excellent at evading taxes. They pick up some dung pits from the stalls outside and sell them to their own companies seriously. The money on the account is extremely ugly. We must not get involved in this kind of thing.
A company can have diversified operations, and art investment can also be one of the investment fields. No matter what the motivation is, as long as it is not for self-sale and self-buying, as long as it is a real thing, it cannot be said that the means are bad. The stuff is still worth some money. "
"Master Nan, the objects in our hands have not been sold through this channel, and most of them have flowed into the hands of collectors and speculators."
"That's good. Since I didn't have it before, I won't have it in the future. There's no need to make myself smelly for three melons and two dates." Nanyi waved his hand, "Okay, I'll go first, so I won't delay your business. If you found the pen holder, call me."
"Hey, Master Nan, go slowly."
After leaving Xinrongzhai, Nanyi went to Wangbei Film Industry.
Still in Gong Xue's exaggeratedly large office, Nanyi was flipping through the first draft of the script tentatively titled "The Years Like Water" that Zhenxuan Films asked for.
Generally speaking, the screenwriting department of Wangbei Films has a process of data collection before writing scripts. When writing scripts involving real estate sales, the lead screenwriter has to go to the real estate sales company for a period of time to experience it in person and understand this kind of script. The general situation of the company and the profession, and then chat with people in the industry to find out about events that can be adapted into conflict points.
In the process of writing the script, it will be handed over to people in the industry for review from time to time to find out common-sense mistakes. In the end, the TV series produced through the script must be approved by the people in the industry.
To put it simply, the film and television dramas shot by Wangbei Film and Television have been pursuing the truth of the basic background, and then making purposeful artistic processing on character emotions, lifestyles, consumption patterns, etc.
The film and television dramas of Wangbei Film and Television have several characteristics: first, the love without a house basically ends dismal; second, the female characters basically love to eat snacks and drinks; third, the refrigerator is basically full of beautiful things, and there will be many close-ups and lines Addition; 4. There will definitely be a cafe scene when the male and female characters are dating, and they will try to highlight the high professionalism of the cafe's employees; 5. The character's lines will be subtly integrated into the real brand name and company name. As long as it appears, it will definitely be a compliment ...
Wangbei Film and Television has always followed the core of the "advertising feature film". On the premise that there is no major conflict with the plot direction, it tries to insert advertisements into the plot. As long as the arrangement is ingenious, the audience will not notice when watching the drama. I'm watching an ad, not a show.
The key lies in the word "clever". Most of the advertisements are integrated into the plot. For example, when a character is thirsty and goes to a convenience store to buy a bottle of water, there can be more than a dozen advertisements inserted here—the door sign of the convenience store; Promotional advertisements on the door; when the character is looking for water in the freezer or shelf, the camera can stop briefly on certain products; during the payment process, you can also do a little close-up of the products on the cash register;
Depending on the emotional state of the character, you can also make a close-up of certain products, such as the favorite snacks of the boyfriend/girlfriend, the product that triggered the conflict before, or the condom when the relationship is already strong enough to have sex. a close-up.
Nan's has a lot of products, and they are closely related to life, so you don't have to worry about not being able to fill a drama, but worry about stuffing it too awkwardly.
"Zhenxuan Films?"
"Um."
"Is the legal representative a woman?"
"right."
"Is she still a shareholder?"
"That's right."
"Who is she?"
"It's on the name information, which word do you not know?"
"Don't pretend to be garlic, you know what I mean."
"Congratulations, you guessed right, she is exactly what you think."
Gong Xue said resentfully: "Do you want her to take my place at the company or at home?"
Nan Yi continued to read the script without looking up, "Have you read "The Year of the Dragon?"
"See, what's the matter?"
"Think of that line from Tom Judy."
Gong Xue thought for a while before tentatively asking: "Are you just playing?"
"Congratulations again, Ms. Gong, you got it right again. You got it right! You got it right! You got it right! Gong Xue has made a contribution! Gong Xue has made a contribution! The great chairman of Wangbei Media, she has inherited the glorious tradition of Tang Qianyan! Nan Ruoqiong , Nan Ruofing, and Nan Yi are possessed by their souls at this moment!
Gong Xue is alone, she represents the long history and tradition of the Nan Clan! At this moment, she is not fighting alone! She's not alone... Uh, what about the rest? "
Gong Xue glanced at Nan Yi, "Crazy."
"Just kidding you."
"Don't tease me, tell me how you plan to arrange this Jiang Xuanyan."
"How else can we arrange it? It's not new for an actress to climb up to a capital boss. Let's learn from it."
"I don't like those men in the industry the most. They treat women as playthings. Why don't you learn from them." Gong Xue said dissatisfied.
"Isn't that the way men are? If you have a heart but no guts, if you have a heart you don't steal money. If you have a heart, you have courage and money. I happen to be the third type. I've been squeezed enough by you old women. Find a little girl to change." Change your mood." Nanyi raised his head, pointed to his face and said, "Look at my face, isn't it more than ten years younger?"
Gong Xue shook her head helplessly, "Xiao Yi, you are still so frank."
"Wouldn't it be better to be honest?"
"No, I'd rather you coax me."
"Pretentious, half my life has passed, and the soil is buried up to my chest. Aunt Happiness, you have to look like an aunt."
"You don't like it, why do you emphasize my age, and you will still call me Sister Xingfu in the future."
"Okay." Nan Yi raised the manuscript in his hand, "This script must have been written by a little girl. The writing is good and the creativity is good, but some things are not written to the point, and the step of data collection is not done well. Go back and rewrite."
"Why are you Zhenxuan Pictures so difficult to deal with? You only gave 200,000 yuan, what else do you want?"
"Hey, I'm talking about Mr. Gong, are you the one who does business like this? What's wrong with small clients? Small clients are also clients, so you have to treat them with care. If you can't come up with a good script next time, I'll sue you at the Consumer Council."
"You report to the fire brigade."
"Why do you go to the fire brigade? Ask them to poke your hornet's nest." Nan Yi said, walked up to Gong Xue, and said seriously, "Are you mentally prepared?"
Gong Xue asked blankly, "What?"
"Less than three years."
"You said about retirement, I'm ready."
Nan Yi hugged Gong Xue and said softly: "We will decide on your successor by the end of the year, and then arrange an internship."
"It's up to you to decide." Gong Xue arched her arms into Nanyi's arms, "After I retire, I plan to live in Austria for a few years, and return to my roots when I'm older."
"It's too early for you to talk about returning the fallen leaves to their roots. Come on a round-the-world trip. I can accompany you through half of the journey."
Gong Xue's eyelashes fluttered, she raised her head and said in a sticky voice: "It takes a long time to travel around the world, are you sure you can accompany me for half of the journey?"
"Yes, I will definitely not change my mind this time." Nan Yi laughed and said, "Because I also want to arrange a round-the-world trip for myself, at least half of our trips will overlap."
"I said, what year do you plan to arrange?"
"It starts as soon as you retire, and we seamlessly connect."
"Well, how long have we known each other?"
"We've known each other for twenty years, and you still don't know me. I live a very planned and scheming person. The details that ordinary men tend to ignore are not in me. About you, about our important day, I I have memorized it all by heart, and remember it clearly.”
"You think too much. I'm not testing you. I just feel that time flies. Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye."
"Yeah, time flies, we are all old, so I want to play with the little girl and absorb more youthful taste."
"This is what annoys me the most. No matter what happens, you will make excuses for yourself to make everything you do look just."
"False?"
"Very hypocritical."
"I'm hypocritical, I'm proud."
"I hate it, like a child." Gong Xue patted Nan Yi and said angrily.
"Don't be too busy to hate, my evening flight, if you are hungry, hurry up and come here."
"Fuck you, what do you think of me? I'm nothing."
"Sigh, duplicity is not your affectionate promise, it all drifts away with the west wind..."
"Zhang Yusheng, stop singing, your belt can't be undone."
"How come, let me see."
