Many people did not have a deep understanding of the term "national power". For people who lived in a country as a whole, a country might be a very general concept. It was not until they experienced the "national power" up close that they began to have a slightly vague understanding of the country and what it could do.
Nagalil was the cure for the Federation's problems at this stage, so the national power was also shifting towards this place.
Disregarding the things that had already happened, Fox Pictures' trip to Nagalil to film this time was also a manifestation of the national power.
"I'm not very sure which department said it. Anyway, we're here to film a movie, so they'll provide us with a subsidy, and a very large tax exemption."
After Lynch and Penny chatted for a while, Little Fox came over to greet Lynch. They talked about this matter very casually. "A higher tax exemption than the Federation. This is very attractive. Before I came here, I heard that many production companies are already planning to follow the trend. You know, adventure movies and the like are very popular now!"
Little Fox even complimented Lynch a little. "You've led the trend of an era, Lynch. Who knows, many years later, people might evaluate the development of movies and give you an award. You've created an era!"
This kind of praise was undoubtedly pleasing, and Lynch naturally accepted Little Fox's compliment.
In fact, little Fox didn't know that Lin Qi wasn't the one who was amazing. Lin Qi's personal adventure novel and the movie it was adapted from wouldn't be that useful.
The real impact was actually in this era. The economic downturn made the people more humble, and at the same time, some of the adventurous spirit that may have existed in them in the past disappeared under the threat of reality.
People became timid and humble, and did not dare to try new things easily. They did not dare to take risks casually because they could not afford any bad results.
When they were rich, failure might only make them smile and comfort themselves, but now they could only cry.
But people also yearned for adventure. The Federation was a country that advocated freedom, and there was an element of adventure in the nature of freedom. At this time, adventure movies, adventure movies and the like became an important channel to make up for the lack of emotions.
From movies, they watch, feel, and experience other people's adventures to fill their own thirst for adventure and to satisfy their emotional needs.
This was the reason why this type of movie became popular from this year onwards. It had become a spiritual necessity for people in their depressed times!
Let people forget everything about themselves and become brave again from the movies!
Little Fox glanced at Penny. "We have about half a month to choose a location …" He was already glad that he had the foresight to choose Penny as the female lead.
Some people were still spreading rumors that nothing would happen between Lynch and Penny, but Little Fox insisted that it was better to be safe than sorry and gave the female role to Penny despite all the objections. Now was the time to reap the rewards.
As Lynch's business grew bigger and bigger, Fox Pictures' development speed could no longer keep up with Lynch's development speed. Soon, Lynch might not even remember that he still had 30% shares in Fox Pictures.
How to continue tying himself to Lynch's battleship was a problem worth pondering. Now that Little Fox was gradually gaining power, the first thing he thought of was women.
Fortunately, he felt that he had made the right bet.
Young people were all lustful, and he knew this very well. After giving Lynch a strange look, he left the address of the hotel they were staying at and left first.
Looking at Little Fox's back, Lin Qi glanced at the girl who was holding onto his arm tightly. Then, he led her to the bus. As they walked, he asked, "Didn't your management company say that they don't want you to …"
He gestured but did not say it out loud.
The management company had invested a lot of resources in the girl. These resources were not as simple as money, but also connections and time. They definitely wanted to gain more and not let the girl fall in love, get married, and retire in a hurry. That was not in line with the management company's requirements.
Therefore, Lynch felt that the girl was a little strange. She was too intimate, which did not make sense.
He saw the girl's manager just now, but the manager acted as if she did not see him and directly got into the crew's car. He was quite curious. What were these people thinking?
The girl smiled. "They think that if I can maintain a certain level of relationship with you, it will be more beneficial for my development."
She became serious as she said, "It's hard to break into the upper class, but you're an opportunity."
The girl's words were very honest and also very emotional. Movies, which were called "new art" by some people, were actually not very popular among the upper class. Compared to watching movies with a group of low-status ordinary people in a smelly cinema, these upper class people preferred to sit in the opera house with their well-dressed counterparts and enjoy elegant operas for two to three hours.
The upper-class society only valued movies because of their ability to make a profit, not because of their social status.
Even a heavyweight male star like Sloan, who had influence, could not squeeze into the upper-class circle. Even if he might be richer than some of the "upper-class celebrities" that people knew, he was still not a member of the upper-class society.
He could not enter those private places, he could not reach those private phones, those …
Then, was it really so good to squeeze into the upper class? Was it necessary to do so, even if one was already very rich?
Of course, everyone did so because there were more opportunities and it was safer. The storm could only destroy the land outside the city, but it could not destroy the strong city walls and the buildings inside the city walls!
After the two of them got into the car, the girl sat alone at the back while Lynch talked to Lyme, who was beside him.
"Sorry, boss, I only pulled in this many …" Lyme was a little guilty. He felt that sometimes he was not as good as Lynch thought, at least when it came to attracting investors.
Lin Qi comforted him with a few words, "It's okay, these are not important. The important thing is to talk to these people first. As long as they sign the contract, they will spontaneously promote and help you get more people to join."
"Have you heard of the convergence effect?"
Without waiting for Lyme to answer, Lynch continued in a low voice, "Actually, I hope that they will regret it after signing the contract because then they will want to find more and more reliable psychological support. Then, let more people in and become the same 'victims' as him. This is the simplest and most effective way they can think of to make up for it."
Lyme did not react for a while, but he first recorded these in his small notebook. In the process of recording, he seemed to feel that Lynch's words were becoming more and more reasonable.
Regret often led to delusions of being harmed, because people subconsciously wanted to provide an argument for their regret, a fulcrum, that is, "Why should I regret?" Obviously, it was very appropriate to use thoughts like "Could they be scammers?" or "This will definitely be a failed investment" as fulcrum.
At the same time, the signed law began to take effect. They could not easily get rid of it, so they began to seek another kind of support to obtain psychological comfort and affirmation, making their actions look very successful.
Then, the most common choice was to drag more people into the water, or drag more people to be the scapegoat.
This was just like how there would never be a shortage of investors who would take the initiative to pull people in for a risky investment project. It was not that they really thought the project was good, nor did they want to share the joy of making money with others. They just hoped that if they were unlucky, they would not be the only unlucky one. At the same time, if there were more unlucky people, their momentum would be stronger. If they had to do something, they would not be alone.
Or if they pulled enough people in, even if it was a scam or a failed investment project, with so many people's support, it would inevitably be a success, thus protecting their investment behavior.
This kind of psychological change had always existed, but people had not noticed it yet. The phenomenon that Lin Ti proposed at this time was already beyond this era. Lyme did not understand, but he felt that it was reasonable.
"After the break, take them around the hotel, but don't go to places without street lights. It's not very safe outside, and it's very dirty and messy."
"I have other things to do later, so I'll be back later. You can talk to them about the changes that their investment can play in the development of this place, as well as the value."
On the way from the port to the hotel, Lynch taught Lyme what to do and what to do. It was not that he was irresponsible and pushed everything to Lyme, but this was the path that a person had to go through in order to grow up.
In this world, there was indeed growth when one was fully prepared, but most of it was growth that came out of nowhere.
Stumbling when learning to walk and trying to run, the first failed love, the first failed job … These failures came very suddenly and did not give people time to prepare.
It was the same when it came to investment. These potential investors could easily destroy a few days and nights of preparation, and even the entire system prepared by the salesman. So the best way was to adapt to the situation and not be so rigid.
Along the way, people's attention was focused on the dilapidated and backward city. They did not know that Lynch and Provincial Governor Dragon had actually made some changes. They simply repaired the buildings near the port and sent people to clean the ground …
If they had not done so much, people would only see a more backward, dirtier, and more disturbing Nagalil!
