After "Olympic Dream" premiered on June 8, it immediately achieved a ratings of 22%. This rating simply beat all TV programs in the same period, including TV series and variety shows. Nothing could compare with it, even if

Even the original "Metamorphosis" won't work.

"This is simply great! I really have you, Director Wu!" The way Chen Xiaoqing looked at Wu Xiang was different.

"Xiao Wu, do your best, the leaders inside the station are..." Director Wang's face was full of smiles.

"Xiao Wu, the program this time is very good. The leaders above are very happy. They didn't expect that we could get such benefits from hosting the Olympics. This is really unexpected." Yuan Weimin is watching now

When you come to Wuxiang, it's like seeing your own future. It's really a bright future.

Of course, the Olympic Committee will donate the proceeds to the disaster areas, but this is also an achievement, and it is a big achievement.

All aspects are satisfied. Not only the audience, but also the higher-ups are probably quite happy now. "Olympic Dream" is a program that satisfies everyone.

There are also many complimentary words from the media, such as what is innovative, what is meaningful, what is warm... Although Wu Xiang himself admits that this program is a copycat, it is successful.

"Olympic Dream" will be broadcast once a week until before the Olympic Games. However, Wu Xiang cannot follow this program all the time because he has too many things to do.

The preparations for "The Wind" are almost complete. We will start filming immediately. This job is busy enough, but Wu Xiang cannot just follow the crew of "The Wind" because he has to go to the United States.

It's not that domestic affairs are unimportant, but that there are too many things in the United States now.

The "Inception" side has already been negotiated, and the preliminary preparations have been completed. Now we need funds.

That's right, that guy Christopher Nolan is ready to do something big. As an employer, we can't rely on others to hold us back, right?

It's really a big deal. Nolan hired "Little Lee", who was the "Jack" DiCaprio back then. This old brother's worth is not low. And Ellen Page

, her acting skills are quite outstanding. The "Fruit Candy" that year scared many gentlemen, and there are also Marion Gloria, Jonzef and Ken Watanabe...

Well, they are all from the original crew, which is normal. Wu Xiang said at the beginning, don’t care about the cost.

This is a bit loud, so now I have to worry about money.

If it were to be filmed in the United States, then the money issue would be easy to talk about. WNM itself has plenty of funds, and the funds can come here while filming. But Nolan now wants to film in Europe.

For example, Nolan wanted to go back to his alma mater to shoot some scenes, such as the scene when Ellen Page meets Xiao Li for the first time. Because the book atmosphere there is very strong, which fits the requirements of the plot very well.

Some other individual dream scenes, generally speaking, are really better in Europe, while they are relatively average here in the United States.

There is a problem when going to Europe, because Wu Xiang’s company in Europe is M6 in France. This company’s funds are not very sufficient, and the development of the European market is actually relatively slow, but this is relatively speaking.

You know, not just film companies, but also many companies in all aspects, their performance in Europe can generally maintain their steady growth. That’s already very good. Everyone’s performance is actually declining.

That's an ordinary situation, not to mention the current economic crisis, which is worse in Europe than in the United States. It's really dire straits there, at least for every company.

In addition, it is a French company, and it is quite difficult to go to the UK. You must know that the film investment this time is a large amount of money, and it is not easy to transfer a large amount of money internationally!

Many people think that if the US dollar is not an internationally accepted currency, then can’t money in the United States be easily used in Europe?

If the amount is relatively small, that's no problem, but once the amount becomes larger, there is a cost involved, the cost of fund transfer.

This thing cannot be ignored, because it does exist. Of course, if you don't care about time, you can slowly turn yourself around. But then you will have to pay the time cost, so in the end you still have to pay the cost.

Wandering around the country casually with a suitcase full of cash?

This kind of plot can only appear in movies and TV series, and it's very common sense.

What's more, it's not just a box now, it's hundreds of millions. Whether it's US dollars or RMB, you won't be able to transport it without a few big trucks!

Wu Xiang thought of a way, a loan!

Everyone knows that loans have interest, but in fact, compared with the cost of transferring funds, the interest on loans is really much smaller.

Yes, this is the fact. Many people who rely on finance are not actually speculating in stocks or real estate, which is a reasonable, legal and profitable business. In fact, they are helping people launder money. Money laundering is actually a kind of transfer of funds.

way.

It can be seen how high the cost of transferring funds is. The filming of "Inception" will involve hundreds of millions of dollars in funds this time, and it will also move to the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Japan. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, loans

They are all the best options and the lowest cost.

So who should I get a loan from?

Wu Xiang approached Bank of China, which is, yes, one of the four major banks in China.

This is a big deal, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the four major banks of China Peasants Co-construction are all interested in getting involved. However, Bank of China's overseas business is relatively good now, with more outlets, and they offer

The conditions were also relatively generous, so Wu Xiang naturally chose them.

The interest rate is the cheapest, and we will even give you a discount, at the cost of placing an advertisement for us!

Well, there is almost no need to add up to this matter. It’s a win-win situation, a complete win-win situation!

In fact, many companies, especially film companies, use loans to make movies. As far as Wu Xiang knows, basically every movie made by Huayi in China is made with loans. The Wang brothers have been playing capital operations.

It's outstanding. It's the same abroad, and big companies in Hollywood rely on loans to survive.

Big companies are strong, that is to say, they are strong not because of their strong capital, but because of their strong credit. They can get more loans, of course. Banks are also more willing to lend to them, and even these big companies actually repay them.

If you can't afford the money, that's great. We can give you a loan and let you pay it back.

The United States itself is such a society. Preemptive consumption and so on are so normal. And how did the financial crisis come about?

So, it’s normal to take out a loan.

However, this matter must go to the United States to finalize the details. WNM is an American company, and this is considered the overseas business of Bank of China.

With such a large sum of money involved, Wu Xiang naturally had to go in person. There were also other things that required his presence.

It's mid-June now, and Wu Xiang's second new film this year, "Human Purge" will be released in the United States. She has her own special mission for this film, so she naturally needs to promote it well and

Have a grand premiere.

Therefore, the premiere of "The Purge" was scheduled for June 29th. And the time of large-scale release, that is, the time of global release, is a very meaningful day, July 4th!

Independence Day is this day. Mr. Edward thinks this day is very good and great, and it is just suitable for the release of such a movie.

By the way, this old guy is really smart, and the day he chose is beyond words.

Wu Xiang got up and flew to the United States on June 20. He soon negotiated a loan, which was actually a fund that allowed Nolan to withdraw the funds in multiple countries. Of course.

, Wu Xiang is not stupid, he naturally wants to appoint some financial personnel.

That’s a lot of money!

"Director Wu, your loan this time has really helped us a lot. Thank you very much. Hahaha, we will cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future."

This was said by the manager of their bank. They were very happy and very positive. Their service attitude was really great. The loan they lent was a favor to them.

Wu Xiang naturally knew how to socialize and chatted and laughed with others for a while, but in his heart he understood what was going on.

The country has foreign exchange reserves, and these reserves are quite large. Sometimes, having too much money is not a good thing.

Isn’t it a good thing to have money? Isn’t this nonsense?

It’s really not bullshit. It’s good to have money, but too much is not good.

Let’s start from the beginning: How did our country’s foreign exchange reserves come from?

Of course it is obtained in exchange for the products we produce. When we were poor in the past, we really needed these foreign exchanges. At that time, foreign exchange was really of great use. Is the country poor? It lacks everything. But the problem now is

There is too much foreign exchange.

With more foreign exchange, to be honest, if we can do other things, such as buying some high-tech we need, whether it is patents or technology, that would be great, or some high-tech weapons, but the problem is

, these things are not sold in Europe or America.

That's right, they have been engaging in technical blockade. These things are completely not given to you, so don't even think about it.

Since this is not possible, then we can only buy resources, buy minerals, and invest in various potential projects, like Wu Xiang's new movie this time.

This is a very good investment, everyone can see it, so everyone wants to get involved.

Capital cannot stop, it must run, otherwise, it will be over. The so-called economic crisis is actually that capital cannot operate and has lost its investment goals. The economic crisis is not that there is no money, but that it does not know what to do.

of spending money.

Therefore, Wu Xiang's loan is really a help, a big help. Now we are in the midst of an economic crisis, a global economic crisis.

To be honest, if Wu Xiang came to work on "Inception", he would not need a loan at all from a cost perspective. However, this loan also brought considerable benefits to Wu Xiang. That is, you have a more powerful

With your credit rating, you can borrow more money in the future, regardless of whether your project makes money or not.

In other words, Wu Xiang has opened another channel for capital.

After taking care of the financial matters, I discussed the movie with Nolan again, and the time came to June 29. Wu Xiang’s second Hollywood movie will have its premiere again...

PS: Black Che thanks all book friends for your monthly votes, Black Che thanks everyone for your support!

Today is the Martyrs’ Memorial Day. Black Che thinks it’s great. The country finally pays attention to this issue again. One of the cards played by foreign forces is to destroy our heroic image. This trick was used very well in the former Soviet Union.

.

We cannot follow the old path of the Soviet Union. We cannot wait until it collapses before we remember the good things we did in the past.
Chapter completed!
