Xiao Ran kept laughing, glanced at Lin Qingxia next to him and asked: "Sister Hong, what is so good? I will take a photo of it and give it to you later!"
"I'm going to die for talking nonsense next to Qingxia!" Zhong Chuhong smiled softly: "That's a piece of fashion, and it's not actually very expensive. Otherwise, I guess you wouldn't be able to afford it, right? Bus owner
!”
Xiao Ran was greatly embarrassed. The so-called bus boss was another nickname given to him in the circle, which meant that he didn't even have a car and probably had to take the bus to work. However, he joked with Zhong Chuhong not once or twice, and he joked with ease.
: "Okay, let's talk nonsense next time when Qingxia is not around!"
Lin Qingxia snickered and glanced at Zhong Chuhong, then gently patted Xiao Ran, indicating that the auction on the stage had begun. At that moment, she stopped joking and began to appreciate the auction seriously.
In fact, the items in this charity auction are very miscellaneous, including everything. From antiques to fashion, from jewelry to vases. Xiao Ran roughly browsed through the introduction information, and then focused on a painting from the Song Dynasty.
The unknown painter's picture of a lady, and the fashionable dress that Zhong Chuhong pointed to.
Xiao Ran quietly leaned his head towards Fa Ge, pointed at two items and said, "Fa Ge, help me take this picture of a lady, and I will take that fashion piece myself!"
Fa Ge quickly understood what Xiao Ran meant, and nodded with a smile. The picture of the lady was taken very smoothly, and it only cost 110,000. Then Fa Ge took a piece of jewelry, about
It was intended to be given to my hair sister-in-law.
Finally, it was the turn of the fashionable dress. The base price was only 15,000 yuan, which was equivalent to an average person's monthly income. However, this fashionable dress seemed to be very popular, and the price tripled in just three rounds.
When the fourth round of bidding came, Xiao Ran thought it was time and was about to bid when he heard a shout from not far behind him: "Forty thousand!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but was slightly startled, and he and Lin Qingxia turned to look over at the same time. It was a guy in his thirties who was dressed very tastefully. He must be a child of a noble family. When the guy saw Lin Qingxia looking at him, he couldn't help but rush.
Here is a slight smile.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown, it looked like a love rival had arrived. Seeing Xiao Ran's expression, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but secretly smile: "That's Mo Huaien, the boss of Renwei Company.
"
A love rival, definitely a love rival. When Xiao Ran thought of the way Mo Huaien looked at Lin Qingxia, he felt filled with hatred. At that moment, he shouted out the price without hesitation: "One hundred thousand!"
This price increase was so steep that the entire audience was in a state of commotion. They all looked sideways at Xiao Ran, and when they saw Lin Qingxia next to him, most of them thought that this was the boss of the Phantom Company. Xiao Ran shouted out the price and asked Mo Huai
En glanced at him and gave him a look that seemed a bit provocative.
Mo Huaien hesitated for a moment. It was not that he had no money, but that it was not cost-effective to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a piece of clothing. However, when he thought of how happy Lin Qingxia might be when she received the gift, his heart warmed up and he immediately threw away everything.
At the back of his head: "One hundred and ten thousand!"
Xiao Ran chuckled. It didn't matter whether he bought this fashion or not, because he originally planned to give it to Zhong Chuhong as a joke. However, now he suddenly wanted to play with this Mo Huaien: "Two hundred thousand!"
It caused a sensation again, and everyone focused their attention on Xiao Ran, the upstart in the film industry, wondering if this kid had been stimulated by something. Or they were thinking: This kid must be crazy, or infatuated with someone he wants to pursue.
!
Lin Qingxia took Xiao Ran's arm and shook her head gently: "Don't argue, it doesn't matter whether you want it or not. Besides, I don't necessarily like this dress!"
Mo Huaien did not speak this time. He felt that there was no need to spend 200,000 yuan to buy a dress, and it was not studded with diamonds. As for that? 200,000 yuan was enough for ordinary people to spend a full year!
As a result, under Xiao Ran's extreme depression, Wei Dongling's weird laugh, Fa Ge's shaking head and bitter smile, and Zhong Chuhong's proud snicker, he bought this piece of clothing worth only 30,000 yuan for 200,000 yuan.
. Xiao Ran wished he could shout loudly, 200,000 yuan is enough to buy a good car.
Xiao Ran, who was in great pain, took over the clothes that made him beat his chest. Without any hesitation, he winked at Lin Qingxia, and then handed the clothes to Zhong Chuhong. The whole place was in an uproar, and countless people were talking: So this is
The boy wants to pursue Hong Gu, so no wonder he is willing to spend a lot of money to buy this dress.
Zhong Chuhong, who was at a loss by Xiao Ran's unexpected move, took over the clothes, but felt extremely embarrassed under the strange looks in everyone's eyes. After giving Xiao Ran a fierce look, Hong Gu sat down.
Seeing that Honggu was really annoyed, Xiao Ran quickly explained to her ear with a smile: "Sister Hong, don't be angry. This dress was originally intended for you, and the picture of the lady was for Qingxia. Don't you want to play with it?
Those newspapers and magazines, maybe they will make this the headline tomorrow! Think of it as helping me!"
Zhong Chuhong suddenly realized that Xiao Ran did this not just to make her happy, but to cover up his relationship with Lin Qingxia in public to avoid any suspicion from others. If the media associates her with Xiao Ran, naturally Lin Qingxia will rarely be mentioned
The most important thing is that Zhong Chuhong is almost the same age as Xiao Ran. With this combination, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia look naturally innocent.
Guessing Xiao Ran's intention, Zhong Chuhong suddenly felt envious. It would be great if she could have such a considerate and considerate boyfriend. Thinking of this, she didn't dare to think about it anymore. Xiao Ran didn't notice Zhong Chuhong's expression, just gently
He told Lin Qingxia her intention. After hearing this, Lin Qingxia just smiled charmingly at Xiao Ran. She believed Xiao Ran.
The charity dinner was over, but for Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, it was not over yet, because that Mo Huaien came over. He ignored Xiao Ran and showed his courtesy to Lin Qingxia. When Xiao Ran was about to have a fit, he suddenly thought of his apparent identity.
He was just a brother, so he watched all this with cold eyes.
"Miss Lin, why don't I take you back!" Mo Huaien glanced at Xiao Ran. Just now he thought Xiao Ran was competing with him for Lin Qingxia. When he saw Xiao Ran giving the clothes to Zhong Chuhong, he breathed a sigh of relief.
.
"No, I have my own car!" Lin Qingxia declined politely. This was not the first time she had dealt with such a thing, and she was always able to handle it with ease: "Besides, I want to leave with A Ran and talk about something by the way!
"
Xiao Ran found that Mo Huaien was not bad looking, and he looked very reliable. It was easy for women to think that he could be trusted for life. However, Xiao Ran thought that he had touched on Mo Huaien's fatal weakness -
— stingy.
Rather than saying it is stingy, it is better to say it is practical. This Mo Huaien is too practical. In the scene just now, other men would definitely take pictures of their clothes even for the sake of self-esteem. But this Mo Huaien did not
, but stopped very sensibly.
Xiao Ran admires and despises him at the same time. If possible, he would like to make gestures of contempt and admiration at the same time. Being too practical is not a bad thing. At least Xiao Ran thinks that such a person is likely to be successful in the mall. If Mo Huaien knows how to suffer losses, he will take advantage.
If it makes sense, then this person is probably not simple.
He had to ask Guan Xin to investigate this person later! Xiao Ran secretly made a decision. After he vaguely guessed Guan Xin's identity, he felt that it was most appropriate to go to Guan Xin to check people's information. In fact, Guan Xin was the most suitable person.
Xinya can always do everything well.
After dismissing Mo Huaien, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help walking towards the car and blaming Xiao Ran: "Aran, next time you make me unprepared like this, I will blow your secret away!"
Oops, Zhong Chuhong collided with a man. Xiao Ran quickly supported her, frowned and asked the handsome young man: "Friend, remember to watch the road when walking!"
"Sorry, I was thinking about other things just now, so I didn't notice it!" This handsome young man apologized politely, and suddenly screamed, obviously recognizing Xiao Ran and Zhong Chuhong: "
Are you Xiao Ran and Zhong Chuhong? By the way, my name is Zhu Jiading."
Zhu Jiading? Where have you heard this name? Xiao Ran patted his head in distress. Zhu Jiading handed over the business card. Xiao Ran took a closer look and saw the words "Lingzhi Advertising Company" printed on it.
Suddenly, he remembered what kind of character this guy was, and couldn't help but feel that it was really interesting. However, he soon stopped having such thoughts, because he smelled something unusual in this young man.
Zhu Jiading himself is not worthy of Xiao Ran's attention. The key is that his father Zhu Xuhua is the founding hero of the Shaw Brothers film kingdom and has a very good personal relationship with Mr. Shaw. His eldest brother Zhu Jiaxin is amazing. He is the chairman of Xiantao Digital Planning Group, and his wife
Chen Yiling is also the sister of former Shaw Brothers actress, Chen Meiling. Her second brother Zhu Jiamei seems to be studying bacteriology in the United States.
What does Centro Digital do? If you pay close attention to the big-budget films made after the mid-1990s, you will most likely see the name Centro Digital on the subtitles at the end. This is a well-known post-production company.
Definitely unique to Hong Kong.
Xian Tao Digital specializes in computer special effects, and its works include "The Heroes of the Storm" and "Heroes of China", as well as the computer special effects for "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu" are Xian Tao's achievements.
Xiao Ran took a closer look at Zhu Jiading. He was indeed a very talented person. He couldn't complain. He really couldn't complain. Xiao Ran, who was laughing non-stop, looked like a gay man, making Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia next to him both funny and angry.
After giving his business card to Zhu Jiading, Xiao Ran didn't say anything, just left with a smile. Returning to Xiaoyao's nest, Xiao Ran began to discuss something with Wei Dongling, a major event related to the development of Phantom.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Ran's expression became serious. He didn't want Wei Dongling to misunderstand that he was joking: "A Dong, I think there is something we must do. We must set up a group in the production department as soon as possible. Computer
Special effects team!”
"Computer special effects?" Wei Dongling asked in surprise: "Do you think it is necessary based on the size of the company? Shaw Brothers also imitated "Star Wars" and made a "Star Wars" a few years ago, and the results were very different.
It can’t be sold at all!”
Question after question, Wei Dongling basically agreed with Xiao Ran's proposal in his heart, because Xiao Ran had never made any mistakes regarding the company's future strategies before, and now it has vaguely proved how brilliant these are. Wei Dongling emotionally believed in Xiao Ran's proposal,
But reason told him that this was never feasible. So, he needed a reason.
The novel term computer special effects was brought about by "Star Wars". However, the computer special effects at this time were very simple and might as well be called animation effects. What really made computer special effects shine with their extraordinary charm were "Terminator 2" and "Terminator 2".
"Jurassic Park", the appearance of these two films officially announced that computer special effects have become one of the most important components in film production.
Xiao Ran had been thinking about setting up a computer special effects team a long time ago, but at that time, he obviously did not have the ability to do this. However, it is different now. So far, "Prison Storm" has recovered at least 60 million for Phantom Company. Except
With investment and incentives, the entire film can earn at least 50 million.
The money currently earned is used to expand the company, which is Xiao Ran's idea. Computer special effects must be done, and they must be big, and they must be comparable to Hollywood. However, in terms of technology, it is difficult for Hong Kong to reach the level of Hollywood.
level.
Therefore, to achieve this, Xiao Ran must acquire a Hollywood film company to obtain real computer special effects talents. Of course, acquisition is not something Xiao Ran can do. However, he can first open up a path for computer special effects in Hong Kong
Road. Instead of waiting for Zhu Jiaxin to start Xantao Digital in the 1990s, when everything was already too late.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ran knew that he had to come up with practical suggestions to pass. This is Wei Dongling's stubbornness, and it is also his advantage. After thinking about it, he said in the most plain tone: "A Dong, you must have seen it
Star Wars, tell me, what do you think of that movie?"
"Shocking and shocking!" Wei Dongling looked fascinated. He was still studying in the United States at that time, and of course he had seen it: "I think it is difficult to find a better science fiction movie than this one!"
"'Star Wars' relies not only on the plot, but also on the fantastic and confusing special effects. I think you also understand this!" Xiao Ran felt that he did not need to say any more, and he only needed to add the following sentence:
"Times are always progressing. Since "Star Wars" has paved such a beautiful road for us, why don't we follow it?"
"I don't quite understand what you are talking about!" Seeing that the atmosphere fell silent, Guan Xin suddenly interrupted: "However, I know that the computer special effects you are talking about is a technology, and we cannot reject new technologies. Especially those who make movies, the technology is aging.
They will be eliminated, just like those directors in the past."
With so many thoughts running through his mind, Wei Dongling finally raised his head and stared at Xiao Ran, gritted his teeth and said: "I will believe you again, I hope you won't fail!"
