"There's another thing!" Xiao Ran rubbed his nose, obviously what he was going to say was not necessarily a good thing: "Well, how much money does the company have now? I plan to use part of it for other things."
"Except for the 10 million you took away some time ago, there are still about 60 million!" Wei Dongling looked very confused. In fact, Xiao Ran knew the company's financial affairs. Every big expenditure must be signed by Xiao Ran himself: "Do you want to
How much do you want and what are you using it for?"
Xiao Ran was very depressed, what can he do with only 60 million? If it was 600 million, then he could make a lot of money. The stock market crash, the stock market crash, Xiao Ran was just like a black-hearted businessman hoarding food, looking forward to the stock market crash: "How much money does the company need to keep?
turnover?"
Wei Dongling began to feel bad. Didn't such a question make it clear that Xiao Ran wanted to withdraw all the money? He calculated it in his mind, and soon he stared at Xiao Ran and gave an answer: "Thirty million, "A Chinese Ghost Story"
"Several movies are about to start shooting, and if you are unwilling to raise funds, then we will bear the risk ourselves!"
Xiao Ran was stunned. He only had 30 million. What could he do during the stock market crash? However, in the second half of the year, Phantom Company did open a lot of dramas, such as "The Gambler" and "The Ghost Club", etc. Since he didn't want others to come
If you share this risk, you will never be able to raise money.
Silence! Xiao Ran thought under the glares of Guan Xin and Wei Dongling. He originally planned to take "Autumn Fairy Tale" to compete at the Venice Film Festival, which might help open up the European and American markets. But now,
The money prepared for the stock market crash was simply not enough. He was thinking about letting the film be released early so that he could earn enough money first.
It was really a dilemma. Xiao Ran couldn't give up the benefits of the stock market crash, but the European and American markets were more important to him. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and decided that it would be appropriate to stay and participate in the exhibition, which would be in line with long-term interests.
It's not that Xiao Ran doesn't want to release "Autumn Fairy Tale" first, and then compete in film festivals, which can achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone. But he knows better that in any more influential film festival, the rules of the game are that the films competing must have no official
Screened.
Money! The top priority is money. But where can Xiao Ran get money? This is not an easy task. Loans are a good idea, but he doesn't think the bank will lend him money to speculate in stocks. It seems that,
This is destined to become the source of headaches for Xiao Ran in the short term.
He had no time to take care of this matter the next day, because he invited Xu Ke and Wu Yusen to help them negotiate peacefully. Of course, Wu Yusen must get it, and "The Bloody Heroes" still needs him
Be a director.
To be honest, Xiao Ran admires the current directors very much. They can not only direct, but also write. Whether it is Xu Ke or Wu Yusen, they are both very versatile masters. However, some things are destined to become
It’s becoming more and more professional. Just like in twenty years’ time, photography will include on-site shooting and virtual shooting.
Wu Yusen and Xu Ke both put one hand on the table. Although they didn't get angry at each other when they met, they were definitely incompatible. Xiao Ran found it funny that a guy as young as him actually came to persuade these two absolute
It's a big-name director's reconciliation, which is really a bit ridiculous.
"Do you want to eat something? I heard that the cured meat here is great!" Xiao Ran and the others were in a cured meat shop now, and his tone was very teasing: "No? That would be a real pity. Give me some!"
The last sentence was said to the waiter.
"A Ran, just say what you want to say!" Wu Yusen said to Xiao Ran with an unkind expression: "If you want to talk about the matter between me and him, then there is no need. Now I have decided to join the Phantom and follow him
It has nothing to do with it!”
"I'm sorry, New Art City doesn't need directors who don't listen to the producer's instructions!" Unexpectedly, Xu Ke was very powerful when he retorted: "Especially a director like you who doesn't follow the script!"
Xiao Ran smiled. He felt that Wu Yusen didn't quite understand Xu Ke, and Xu Ke didn't quite understand Wu Yusen, which was the reason for the current incompatibility. This was originally because Wu Yusen didn't know what constraints were until he entered Hollywood.
In Hollywood, he didn't even have the right to edit the final film, and the film he made was not what he wanted at all. Even his work "Mission: Impossible 2" after he became famous in Hollywood did not have the right to edit, and was banned in Hong Kong.
He was restricted by producers and was more restricted by producers in Hollywood. At that time, he gradually understood Xu Ke.
Wu Yusen was easy to handle, but the trouble was Xu Ke. Xu Ke has always been a stubborn person and was not easy to deal with. When filming "The Swordsman", he had such a quarrel with senior director Hu Jinquan that even Lei Kaitai intervened.
, but Xu Ke still insisted on going his own way, this is proof.
"Human, the higher you climb, the fewer and fewer friends you have!" Xiao Ran was sincerely sighing. Most of his friends who used to call him Aran changed their names: "You two are the best in the area.
As a director, do you really want to live in a cold place?"
"I think you have a communication problem!" Xiao Ran chuckled. Everyone knows that Xu Ke is not good at words. Wu Yusen is obviously not the kind of person who knows how to speak nicely: "Otherwise, there is no reason for a sudden change from a good friend.
How much hatred does this require? However, there is no reason to become enemies after cooperating in one or two films."
Wu Yusen and Xu Ke suddenly became anxious. The former quickly said to Xiao Ran: "No, Aran, you don't know who he is. I am the director. Of course it is me who decides how to shoot! But, he actually intervened and said that there is no way to do this here."
It should be filmed this way, and there shouldn’t be filmed that way. Tell me, what would you do if it were the other situation?"
Xu Ke did not remain silent. He also glared at Wu Yusen and said to Xiao Ran: "A Ran, the matter is very simple. There are mistakes in his shooting methods. As a producer, I have no reason not to point them out!"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly. As he expected, there was indeed a communication problem. After thinking about it, Xiao Ran hit the nail on the head: "Your problem is, should the producer interfere with the director's duties? If you can't solve this, you won't be able to solve it."
There is a way to reconcile, right?"
The two nodded at the same time and glared at each other. Xiao Ran burst out laughing and pointed at the two of them: "What's so difficult about this? Brother Sen, when you joined Xinyi City, you knew that there was a supervisor there.
The system has been established. In order to ensure commercial success, the director’s arbitrariness must be restrained! Wasn’t Liang Puzhi dismissed from the director’s position in this way?”
"But, this is different!" Wu Yusen saw Xiao Ran helping Xu Ke to speak, and he immediately became anxious: "I completely followed your script, but he still wanted to intervene, what do you think I should do? Have a quarrel.
Or have a fight?"
Xiao Ran nodded and looked at the unhappy Xu Ke with a smile: "Old Xu, do you find it difficult? It is not easy to make a sequel. You must not only ensure commercial success, but also ensure that it can reach the level of the first two films? You are worried about gains and losses.
, so a lot of restrictions were placed on Sen. However, I think you may have forgotten that this film was successful because of Sen's performance and passion. If he deliberately restricted his creation, it would not be easy."
It is indeed not easy to make a sequel, especially a sequel to a classic work. It is definitely a very difficult thing to ensure profits and not be scolded for continuing a sequel. The difficulty lies in the invisibility in the creator's mentality.
There was a layer of pressure. Xiao Ran believed that if Wu Yusen and Xu Ke had not collaborated on this sequel one after another, there would probably not have been a conflict.
The two of them analyzed Xiao Ran and found that it didn't seem to be easy for both parties. Xu was the boss and had to ensure his interests. Wu Yusen was the creator and also needed to be free to express himself. Just when they were speechless, Xiao Ran
He sighed, shook his head and said: "I think it would be better if the two of you reversed your identities before you knew each other's difficulties. It seems difficult to reconcile now. I'm too lazy to say anything else!"
"However, do you still have to postpone the things you do at work to life?" Looking at the two master directors, Xiao Ran smiled bitterly: "Isn't life boring enough? Could it be that if there are conflicts at work, we won't be friends in life? I
I really don’t understand you anymore, so when you get older, just stop cooperating with me!”
Wu Yusen and Xu Ke glanced at each other quickly, and they were both very moved by Xiao Ran's words. Yes, having conflicts at work doesn't mean that they can't continue to be friends in life. The two of them are inherently strong-willed people, and no one can
During the mediation, it was natural that he would not bow his head as if his neck had been smeared with Indian divine oil.
But now that Xiao Ran has found a reason for reconciliation for them, it seems that there is no need for them to continue to confront each other like this. However, it may still be a bit awkward to shake hands and make peace. So, they both said to Xiao Ran at the same time: "Let's talk about this later.
Bar!"
Seeing each other's actions, both of them smiled at the same time. This smile was like the sun that dispersed the dark clouds. Xiao Ran quickly saw the sunshine and became happy. He was even more proud, proud that he had been able to advance more than ten years in advance.
Let the two masters reconcile.
Next, Xiao Ran asked Lin Qingxia to go find the parents of the twins. This matter was actually easy to solve. He just had to convince the parents and it was settled quickly.
However, Xiao Ran didn't know that something happened in the company. When Wei Dongling was working in the office, Wang Yu and two of his men rushed in arrogantly. Xiao Ran was nowhere to be seen. Wang Yu glared at Wei Dongling bitterly: "Where is Xiao Ran?
"
"He has gone out to do business. Do you have anything to talk to him about? It's the same as talking to me!" Of course Wei Dongling recognized Wang Yu, and Xiao Ran also told him about framing this kid. He couldn't help but think to himself: What happened
Yes, people came to your door.
Not here? Wang Yu is very unhappy now. His film has been forced to be canceled by the film company because the box office was so bad. He is not stupid. He just thought about it carefully and realized that the whole thing was done deliberately by Xiao Ran. Otherwise, why bother?
I need a blockbuster movie like "Prison" to compete with me.
Seven million! Wang Yu was extremely distressed. The total box office was only seven million, and he didn't even get his money back. Some money was made from sales in other places, but the total money was just barely enough to recover his money. But after excluding taxes,
He really lost money.
He didn't care about the money he lost, he just hated Xiao Ran for secretly plotting against him. But he didn't think that he had forced Xiao Ran to write the script. How many people in the circle didn't hate him? Maybe it was only the half-martial arts masters under him.
A semi-gangster guy.
"Tell Xiao Ran to be careful when walking in the future. Don't get into trouble!" Wang Yu dropped these words viciously and walked away with his men. Only Wei Dongling was left secretly lamenting that such a person would show his ferocious behavior whenever his interests are harmed.
Face.
But things were obviously not as Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling understood. When Wang Yu left the building, he was blocked by a luxury RV. Just when the guy was about to vent his anger, a head popped out of the car window and smiled.
Said: "Mr. Wang, our boss wants to talk to you!"
Wang Yu lowered his head and looked in the car window. Looking at the vaguely familiar face, he remembered one thing, a scandal that caused a sensation in Southeast Asia. He had a good mind and quickly thought of what the other party wanted from him.
He nodded and got into the car politely...
The Miss Hong Kong election is very fierce these days. The popular Qiu Shuzhen was kicked in the chin by an old classmate. She cried bitterly and abstained from voting. Xiao Ran thinks that Qiu Shuzhen is a very tasteful one among Hong Kong actresses, but unfortunately, he doesn't do anything to her.
interest.
Perhaps it is better to say that Xiao Ran is now focusing more on cultivating his own strength. This weekend, he took the two sisters to meet Hai Lulu, the director of the artist training department. This director is a very charming woman.
.
Phantom Company has only temporarily rented a house as a training venue, and does not have a space of its own yet. However, this does not seem to be a problem for Hai Lulu, a very capable woman. Phantom Company spends every month on the artist training department.
Quite big.
Xiao Ran did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire real masters in etiquette, performance and dance to come for training. Each session lasted for half a year, which shows how much he attaches importance to this. Every artist who is confirmed to be signed
I have to sign a three-year contract with Phantom Company.
In fact, three years is a normal period of time. Compared with wireless, the conditions here are undoubtedly much more favorable. The only drawback is that due to strength, this does not seem to be as safe as imagined.
Phantom's artist training courses are not many, but they are definitely very professional. For example, the actors' courses include etiquette and psychology. Xiao Ran knows very well how important it is to reserve strength.
There was once an actor in Hollywood who won an Oscar and expressed his talents to the teacher who taught him acting. However, the teacher just pointed at the passers-by who were walking hurriedly outside the window and said: "Every actor walking outside can act as well as you, but you
You were lucky, so you won this prize!"
