Xiao Ran glared and said sternly: "Don't follow this nonsense and read your book carefully."
"They can do it, why can't I!" Xiao Han quit, and immediately pouted and acted coquettishly at Xiao Ran: "I don't care, I have to act and sing anyway!"
Xiao Ran had a headache for a while. The matter here has not been solved yet, and another trouble came out immediately. It was really... He wanted to curse. After thinking about it, he looked at the two of them with wide eyes.
Two sisters, Xiao Ran couldn't help but shook his head and said to Xiao Han: "In this way, if you really want to, you can do it in a few years. You are still young now, so there is no rush!"
"But they are not very old, just like me, why?" Xiao Han now hugged Xiao Ran's arm and shook it vigorously. The two sisters nodded at the same time, obviously confused as to why Xiao Ran didn't agree.
Xiao Ran was sweating, why did this sister become the troublemaker: "I didn't say that I need them to drop out of school now to act. I just want to talk to them about this matter. If possible, then sign the contract first and then train a little bit."
You can act now!”
"That's it, then I want it, anyway, I want it!" Xiao Han didn't know if he hadn't had a spoiled partner for a long time, and he planned to vent his anger on Xiao Ran today. Fortunately, although Xiao Ran found it annoying, he still enjoyed it.
This feeling of someone being coquettish towards me.
"Well, as long as you can convince your parents, then I will have no problem here!" Xiao Ran glanced helplessly at Wei Jiahui, who was snickering, expressing how worthy of sympathy he was, and then looked at the two sisters and said: "Xiao Ying
,Why don’t you want to be a star?”
"Her? Her ideal is to help others, not to be a star!" Xiaoya answered first, obviously disdainful of her sister's ideal. Xiaoying's face turned slightly red, and she was so cute: "Helping others
What’s wrong?”
"That's it!" Xiao Ran thought for a while and then had an idea and persuaded: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a star. Only when you have identity and status can you help more people. Do you understand? It's better to do this. You can go back to
Go home and ask your parents, if they are willing to talk to me, that’s fine!”
The sisters nodded and agreed, especially Xiaoya, who nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. The only unhappy person was Xiao Han. Asking her to go back and discuss it with her parents would be asking for death.
When she went to Lin Qingxia's house and told her about the matter, Lin Qingxia immediately thought of the cute little girl and immediately smiled: "If she really wants to, then you might as well agree to her. Anyway, your brother wants to make her famous.
It’s not a difficult thing, and besides, she has the capital to become popular!”
It's not that Xiao Ran doesn't want Xiao Han to be a star, he just feels something is wrong. The most important thing is that he thinks that at this age, Xiao Han should absorb knowledge instead of dreaming about being a star.
"By the way, other companies sent me a request to act in a movie called "The Beauty"!" Lin Qingxia let her hand be pinched by Xiao Ran, and leaned slightly on Xiao Ran's shoulder to feel the sense of security:
"Do you want me to act?"
"Emotionally, I definitely don't want to! Sometimes I am very conservative! However, intellectually, I think you should take the next step. There is no work suitable for you in Phantom." After Xiao Ran smiled, his expression changed, and he immediately
Thinking of this movie: "Please show me the script first!"
Lin Qingxia stood up reluctantly and went to get the script for Xiao Ran to read. Of course Xiao Ran knew that this film was originally starring Lin Qingxia and Liang Jiahui, but the film was very ordinary and the box office was not good.
Pretending to browse for a while, after thinking about it again, he thought that there was no need to accept this drama at all: "I think it is better not to accept this drama. It is difficult for this script to have much effect. It is not commercial enough if it is commercial, and it is not literary enough if it is artistic."
Literary art!”
"If you say you won't accept it, then you won't accept it!" Lin Qingxia did not agree to this point because Xiao Ran was her boyfriend, but based on Xiao Ran's evaluation of the script. I am afraid that Xiao Ran's screenwriting ability is not the same
No one in Hong Kong or even Southeast Asia dares to doubt it.
In the company, Xiao Ran frowned and watched the helpless Wei Dongling bring out a lot of scripts, and suddenly smiled bitterly. Since he became the recognized number one screenwriter in Hong Kong, and he revealed at the Academy Awards that he attaches great importance to screenwriters
Speech, and because of his status as the boss of a film company, many screenwriters who thought they were capable and talented began to submit scripts to Phantom.
One of Xiao Ran's tasks every time he comes to the company is to do the final review. The first review is conducted by Wei Jiahui, who selects talented and potential books, and finally sends them to Xiao Ran.
"By the way, the box office of Prison Storm has exceeded 15 million. When will the celebration party be held?" Wei Dongling asked while working. He is now used to talking about things while working. There is no way, the office is too small.
Wei Dongling is even worried that he will not be able to adapt to a big office in the future: "And the rewards and expenses are not small!"
Xiao Ran nodded. Even though Wei Dongling was a genius and managed the company in an orderly manner, after all, his vision was limited by the times. It was difficult to see how important talents were to the development of movies.
He decided to talk to Wei Dongling about this matter later. Concepts are very important. After deciding, he started to browse the script. In fact, what he had to do was very simple, such as writing a certain plot in a script well.
, this author can be recruited into the screenwriting team of Phantom to be responsible for the plot part. When he saw one of the scripts, he couldn't help but be surprised...
Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He was making sure that he was not dazzled. It turned out that he was not presbyopic at all, and the script before him was the script of "Home Alone". In fact, you can't say that, I can only say
This book has the same idea as "Home Alone", but there are not many similarities in the plot.
In what year was "Home Alone" produced? Xiao Ran tried hard to remember. This was not an easy task for him. Because he knew a lot about Hong Kong films, but he didn't know much about foreign language films. Of course he didn't know much about them.
It's hard to remember what era these films were from.
Fortunately, he remembered that it was a film that was only released in 1990. And now that it has appeared, it can only prove that this story is not plagiarized at all, but original. He browsed it carefully and found out that this story is no better than
"Home Alone" is not good, but it has a stronger Hong Kong flavor, and the plot is equally funny.
Without hesitation, Xiao Ran found the author of this book - Tie Long, a very impressive name. After choosing to get the screenwriter, Xiao Ran continued his work, who made him the hand of God.
Finally turning to the last book, Xiao Ran breathed a big sigh of relief, but he also started to get nervous. Wei Jiahui has always been accustomed to putting the books he thinks are the best at the bottom, so that Xiao Ran can make a decision. This means that being able to be read by Wei Jiahui
It won't be too bad if you fancy it.
However, he didn't quite understand why Wei Jiahui put the previous book in front of him? Is it because he didn't see the commercial benefits in it? He soon came to the conclusion that Hong Kong movies basically don't pay attention to children's movies now.
, let alone making children the protagonists.
After flipping through the last script, Xiao Ran was attracted by just reading the beginning. This is a science fiction-themed book. The general story is about what happens after people commit crimes in the future world. However, Xiao Ran feels that in this book
It doesn't have a strong sci-fi flavor, it's more like a police movie, but it's set in a future world.
The story is so attractive that Xiao Ran couldn't even take his eyes away. He breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. The screenwriter is very strong, and the book is strong because of its passion. There are many superb dialogues and suspense.
Pretty well laid out.
Xiao Ran only realized this after watching it. On the surface, it looked like a science fiction film, but when you looked deeper, it was a police and gangster film. But in essence, it was a suspense film. For a moment, he felt dizzy.
.
However, this book is not without its weaknesses. The weakness is that the details are very poorly set up, and the excessive passion has led to loopholes in many plots. Xiao Ran can even tell at a glance that the author must be a young man.
Even so, Xiao Ran felt that today's exhaustion was completely worth it. After reading the book for so long, he finally met two talents, one of whom might even be a genius. Xiao Ran began to feel how wise he was, but it was a pity that he was not.
People are flattering him here.
"A Dong, stop working and talk to you!" Xiao Ran didn't even notice that his tone gradually became irresistibly majestic. Seeing Wei Dongling raise his head and look at him in confusion, Xiao Ran's tone
His majesty turned into concern: "A Dong, I'm telling you a story, please listen carefully!"
"There used to be a place where there were many companies, one of which was the largest, and one of which was very small." Xiao Ran indulged in memories, turning the history of Hong Kong film into another story: "This small-scale company slowly
After a long period of development, we acquired a large number of talents and developed rapidly, becoming the second largest company in just ten years!"
Wei Dongling was so confused now that he simply didn't know what Xiao Ran was talking about. Xiao Ran rubbed his nose and felt extremely heavy: "But when this company reached its peak, everyone realized that something was wrong. He was very capable.
Strong employees are poached by the largest company, and other employees are always doing things that harm themselves."
"But none of this is the worst. Several directors of this company don't pay attention to talents, and they don't even have talent reserves." Xiao Ran smiled helplessly. The history of Hong Kong films is definitely not that simple to describe: "
As a result, these talents gradually did not receive good treatment and were harmed by other mediocre employees, and the company's business dropped sharply."
"In order to save money, the directors raised the salaries of several of the Ming... employees who were valued by the outside world, hoping to use them to attract business!" Xiao Ran almost blurted out the word "star", but luckily he reacted in time: "But, they failed.
, the business is still shrinking. But they have never thought of raising salaries and giving free space to the talents who have made the company truly develop."
"As a result, these talents were disappointed one after another. Some joined the largest companies, while others stayed loyal and fought hard." Xiao Ran felt extremely bitter when he said this. He really didn't know what was buried in this small land like Hong Kong.
How many geniuses: "However, most of them left the company and this place. As a result, the company's business gradually withered until it died. The reason is because the directors believed that those talents were not worthy of a salary increase and did not need to give them enough
space!”
Wei Dongling still didn't quite understand, and the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense. Xiao Ran let out a long sigh, closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "Don't you think the form of this company is very similar to Hong Kong movies? Don't you think we need to strengthen it?
Is there an emphasis on talent?”
Suddenly realizing it, Wei Dongling understood what Xiao Ran meant, but he didn't understand it even more. Xiao Ran's thoughts were wandering in the memory of twenty years later, and he said in a sleepy tone: "What is the most valuable person in Hong Kong? Xu Guanjie, 1.5 million
, and after the release of "Autumn Fairy Tale", Zhou Runfa's net worth must have exceeded 1.2 million. Do you remember two years ago? The highest net worth two years ago was Xu Guanjie, which was only 1 million."
"You mean the actor's worth is too high?" Wei Dongling thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: "If you want to reduce the actor's salary, that is absolutely impossible, otherwise not many people will be willing to accept it!"
"Of course not, the actor's net worth is determined by their value!" Xiao Ran opened his eyes and looked at the embarrassed Wei Dongling, laughing loudly: "I mean, don't you think the remuneration of the behind-the-scenes staff is too low?
?Especially those at the bottom, if they don’t work a lot, they may not be able to support themselves!”
"It seems to be quite high!" Wei Dongling quickly calculated in his mind and came up with this answer: "The remuneration of the company's behind-the-scenes staff is already very high. If rewards are included, it is twice as high as that of Jiahe
!”
"Do you really think it's too high?" Xiao Ran asked with a wry smile. Even Wei Dongling, a forward-thinking person, thought so. He couldn't blame the film industry for being so miserable: "Nowadays, the budget of a medium-sized film is four million. In this case,
Four million miles, how much is spent on screenwriters? At best, it is only one hundred thousand, what kind of ratio is this?"
"Of these four million, stars generally have to take one-fifth, or even one-fourth!" When it comes to this, Xiao Ran disagrees. The proportion of stars' remuneration is far less than it will be in the future. Twenty years later, it will even be as high as
Half the ratio: “Just think, how is that fair?”
Wei Dongling pressed the phone and asked his secretary to pour two cups of coffee. Then he said with a smile: "It's not fair. Celebrities are the most important reason why audiences buy tickets! So it's normal for them to take the big shot!"
