Xiao Ran went back home in the evening, and sure enough, Liang Shaohao immediately vetoed the idea of Xiao Han becoming an actor when he mentioned it. Xiao Han was acting coquettishly with Xiao Ran all night, which made him depressed and enjoying himself at the same time.
The next day, Xiao Ran went to Lin Qingxia's place. As soon as he announced to her that he had obtained his driver's license, she said with a smile: "Aran, for your driver's license, I have prepared a gift for you!"
Xiao Ran was slightly startled, and followed her to the garage. Suddenly, he saw a sky blue BMW, and it was obviously new. Xiao Ran was surprised and couldn't help but frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, Lin Qingxia saw him and asked: "What?
You don’t like it?”
"Nothing, I like it very much!" Xiao Ran was very depressed. He had always felt that he should take care of Lin Qingxia, not the other way around. Although he was not a male chauvinist, Lin Qingxia gave him such an expensive car.
This was a bit hard for him to accept.
Lin Qingxia is a smart woman. She knew what Xiao Ran was thinking as soon as she turned her eyes. Her joyful expression gradually faded, and she said in a low voice: "So you don't like me giving you things, but is it really that important? As long as we are together.
, no one will care about these!”
Listening to the deep affection in the tone, the string in Xiao Ran's heart was touched, and then he felt that it all didn't matter. He looked at Lin Qingxia's eyes sincerely and said, "No, I might have been a little unhappy just now, but now
I'm very happy, really!"
"By the way, how do you know I like BMW?" In fact, Xiao Ran had an idea when he was very young. If he wanted to buy a car when he grew up, he would definitely buy a Chinese-made Hongqi. However, when he grew up, this idea became
Gradually it changed. However, he really likes BMWs. Every time he sees someone else's BMW, he will look at it eagerly for a while.
"That..." Lin Qingxia hesitated before saying, "I asked Brother Xin and A Dong, and they told me!"
Xiao Ran gently squeezed Lin Qingxia's hand. He suddenly felt that he was very lucky to be favored by Lin Qingxia. Perhaps besides supporting Hong Kong movies, this was his biggest gain since coming to this era.
"A Dong, when will you find a girlfriend? Otherwise, I won't let you come to such a scene next time!"
Xiao Ran joked to Wei Dongling, and Lin Qingxia next to her covered her mouth and snickered. This was a charity dinner. There were many messy banquets, but because Xiao Ran's status was getting higher, there was no need to attend everything.
However, tonight's charity dinner is somewhat different. Not only celebrities and rich people are present, but also important officials of the British Hong Kong government. For example, the Deputy Secretary of the Financial Secretary and the Director of the Film and Television Division are present.
Not many people from the film industry were invited, but the heads of the three major film companies were here, as were several of the most famous actors such as Zhong Chuhong and Fa Ge. Apart from the three major companies, Phantom was the only one invited, and even Xiao Ran
I felt a little flattered when I received it.
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia came all the way saying hello, and far away they saw Fa Ge and Zhong Chuhong, the best couple on the screen, talking to someone. Xiao Ran glared at Wei Dongling and glanced at the three major companies who were talking on the other side.
Several bosses signaled him to go over and have a relationship.
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia then walked towards Fa Ge and the others holding hands like a couple. Fa Ge and the others had obviously seen Xiao Ran. They greeted the two people and walked towards them. They sat down with a smile, Xiao Ran had not yet
When he opened his mouth to speak, Fa Ge told him anxiously: "There is a conflict between Wu Yusen and Xu Ke!"
Lin Qingxia was slightly startled, but Xiao Ran was not surprised at all. With Xu Ke's arbitrary behavior on the set, Wu Yusen would never allow himself to be controlled by others. Therefore, conflict would be a matter of time.
After working on it for a long time, Xiao Ran realized that Wu Yusen and Xu Ke had already had disagreements when they were filming "A Better Tomorrow 2". Recently, before the filming of "A Better Tomorrow 3" started, the two had an argument over their creative ideas.
Serious conflict. Wu Yusen didn't like Xu Ke being too involved in the filming, but Xu Ke, in the title of producer, liked to perform the director's duties, so naturally there was a commotion.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "It's okay, as long as they don't work together, it'll be okay!" He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. This has nothing to do with history, but Xu Ke's character will determine how things will turn out.
occur.
However, the conflict between Wu Yusen and Xu Ke in history caused the two to be at odds with each other. They were unwilling to have anything to do with each other for more than ten years. Xiao Ran never wanted this. Wu Yusen was his target, and Xu Ke was the same.
He hopes to recruit them. And in the long run, it will be more beneficial for these two master directors to be more harmonious.
"This time they heard that the other party's name was among the invited guests, and they didn't even want to come over!" Fa Ge smiled bitterly. Wu Yusen is a like-minded friend with him, and Xu Ke is a director he admires. This is really disappointing.
He was in a dilemma.
In Fa Ge's opinion, the only one who can talk to Xu Ke and Wu Yusen is Xiao Ran. Fa Ge knows that Wu Yusen is just as grateful to Xiao Ran as he is for knowing him, and they are also close friends.
I feel like. As for Xu Ke, he is the one who single-handedly guided Xiao Ran into the film industry, so the relationship is naturally very good.
"Believe me, they will be fine!" Xiao Ran smiled. After this conflict, Wu Yusen will become a member of Phantom Company, not New Art City, nor will he be moved away by Lei Kaitai's appreciation.
"Fa Zai, Hong Gu, when did you come?" A deep voice rang out, but it was Wan Ziliang, the first brother of ATV who had never had the opportunity to see him. He showed Xiao Ran's unusually familiar smile and said: "Hey,
I didn’t expect that God’s hand is here, but I’ve always wanted to see you!”
"Brother Liang, I have always wanted to visit you, but I have no chance or reason!" Xiao Ran chuckled. He had indeed always wanted to meet Wan Ziliang. Unfortunately, he has a very good relationship with TVB and ATV.
It’s not advisable to get close, so I never had the chance to get to know the people at ATV.
Looking at Wan Ziliang's face, Xiao Ran has always felt that besides Fa Ge, the one who is most suitable to have the big brother style now is Wan Ziliang. However, there have been no opportunities for cooperation. There was one last time, and last time Wang Yu
The script of "Love in Jianghu" that I took was starring Wan Ziliang. However, Xiao Ran didn't need to go to the set in person. Besides, he didn't sign his name on the script at all.
What makes Xiao Ran interesting is that when he first met these big stars and directors, he was always excited. But now his mood is calm. He doesn't know if this is a sign of aesthetic weakness.
"You can't say that!" Wan Ziliang smiled mysteriously, with a hint of cunning in his expression: "The new film that was just released a few days ago, we can be considered to have collaborated once!"
When Xiao Ran mentioned the matter of cooperation, he thought of Leslie Cheung and Wang Jing. If his memory is correct, then these two people have almost never cooperated with each other since their debut. This is really a surprising thing. Indirect cooperation
It seems that once or twice, for example, in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Jing vaguely played the role of an official in it.
Xiao Ran smiled, but it was just a sneer. Wang Yu used his power to coerce him. At that time, he gave Wang Yu a deep impression and gave in. However, this does not mean that he really gave up. Just kidding, if it is so easy
Forget it, then he is no longer Xiao Ran.
The script of "Love in Jianghu" is indeed not bad, but what Xiao Ran gave to Wang Yu is not necessarily complete. If the screenwriter is offended, the film will die neatly. Xiao Ran deleted a lot of details, and then left the rest
After some modifications, when it is shot, if the editing level is slightly poor, the final effect will give people a sense of having no preface and no follow-up.
I wonder who in the world today has a higher understanding of artistic conception than Xiao Ran? Don’t forget that in the post-1997 era, Xiao Ran was most obsessed with Yinhe’s works, and Yinhe’s works focused on artistic conception. He wanted to play with Wang Yu on this point,
Unless the director is smart enough, no one can change this fact.
This was obviously not enough to push "Love in Rivers and Lakes" into the abyss, so Xiao Ran arranged for "Prison Storm" to be released at the same time as "Love in Rivers and Lakes". In terms of competing dramas, in 1987, few dramas could beat "Prison Storm" at the box office.
This movie was the runner-up at the annual box office.
Even though it's not yet time to decide the final winner, the box office of "Prison Story" has reached 15 million after only ten days of release. However, "The Love of Rivers and Lakes", which was released at the same time, has only received 5 million so far.
That’s it, you can basically determine the winner or loser.
"However, I admire you very much!" Wan Ziliang didn't seem to care about the box office of "The Love of Rivers and Lakes" at all, but said with a smile: "You can actually estimate that this movie will not do well at the box office, so you just didn't even sign your name.
Now I even wonder if you had premeditated it.
Xiao Ran was slightly startled. He did this very obviously. He pitted his own play against Wang Yu's play. Comparing the box office, Wang Yu contacted Xiao Ran again and refused to sign. There was no reason why Xiao Ran couldn't figure it out.
It was done on purpose. Besides, Wan Ziliang had already guessed it.
Secretly scolding himself for being a little abrupt, and warning himself not to be too obvious next time, he denied it with a smile: "It's nothing. Besides, I didn't write this film. Otherwise, the box office would definitely be more than this."
A little bit."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, Wang Yu is a little worried now!" Wan Ziliang laughed maliciously, Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong nodded equally, they both had no good impression of Wang Yu: "If it weren't for money, I would
I'm too lazy to take on this film. It's fine now, I'm afraid he won't come to me again next time!"
Xiao Ran was slightly startled, but he didn't expect that although Wang Yu was powerful, he had no popularity at all. Thinking of this, he seriously warned himself that he must improve his popularity. However, he was overly worried. In terms of popularity, he was definitely the best.
Rarely good in the film industry.
After talking for a while, Xiao Ran and Wan Ziliang had just finalized the next cooperation, and Xiao Ran was invited over by the director of the Film and Television Department. Xiao Ran secretly guessed what was going on, and when he went to a corner, he ate a little
shock.
Not only the director was present, but also Lei Kaitai and Pan Disheng, as well as He Guanchang, the top leader in Jiahe management, and Wei Dongling were also present. Xiao Ran and them all smiled and nodded, and sat down next to Wei Dongling.
When the director saw them all coming, he chuckled: "This time the government decided to strengthen the management of the film industry. Therefore, many companies were shut down during the audit some time ago. In view of the current number of violent and pornographic films, the superiors
A decision has been made. While everyone is here, let’s exchange opinions with a few of them first!”
Movie rating system? This was the first thought that flashed through Xiao Ran's mind. He thought that a rating system should indeed appear now, otherwise it would be difficult to regulate pornographic and violent scenes in movies.
What makes him feel happy is that he is now listed among them. This is certainly due to luck, but it also proves that the industry has gradually recognized the potential of Phantom Company. I dare not say that it can compete with the three giants.
Although the strength is low, it definitely has the potential.
This is something Xiao Ran is very happy about. It is not difficult to make a good film, but it is difficult to get recognition from the industry. Just like Wang Yu, although he is powerful, but he cannot get the recognition of everyone, making a film
They were all played to death.
Xiao Ran is underestimating himself. He himself is currently recognized as the Hand of God in Hong Kong. With his own script as the backing, no one dares to ignore the potential of Phantom Company. And big celebrities such as Chow Run-fat, Wu Yusen, Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong are all
It is also well known that he has a good relationship with Xiao Ran, otherwise he would not have signed a long-term contract with Xinyi City and also come to Phantom to film at the same time.
The most important thing is that the first film released by Phantom Company broke the historical box office record in Hong Kong, and the second film is also an excellent work both at the box office and in terms of reputation. Even if there are still people who doubt Phantom, I'm afraid
There’s not much left. New Arts City started its business with “The Age of Funny”, which was not particularly good at the box office, and then quickly became one of the three giants. The lessons learned are still vivid in our minds.
"We are planning to come up with a grading system. I believe it will be officially launched in a month at most!" The director inspected for a week and finally focused on the three giants: "I wonder what everyone's opinions are?"
Although the meaning of the words is to solicit opinions, the tone is unquestionable. It is obvious that the British Hong Kong government believes that the introduction of this grading system is imperative. Pan Disheng still has an indifferent expression, while Lei Kaitai smokes a big
Cigar didn't say anything, but He Guanchang was deep in thought.

Novel title——Lei Kaitai
Real name - unknown
In Huang Baiming's memoirs of New Art City Myth, we can clearly see that the boss behind the scenes is named Lei. However, strangely, some other information shows that the boss behind the scenes seems to be someone else. After some speculation, we can conclude
Answer. Longxiang Film Company is from Taiwan. This company has a good relationship with New Arts City and Debao and other companies, and often participates in investment. I think this company
One of the so-called behind-the-scenes bosses probably refers to Long Xiang’s boss. The boss of Xinyi City should be this man named Lei. It is said that this person is rich and powerful and is the chairman of the Transport Association of Kowloon or Hong Kong. This boss Lei
He was very clever, and the filmmakers he invested in were able to make a lot of money for him. However, he may have immigrated later, so he stopped the film business in a hurry.
