After thinking for a long time, Xiao Ran suddenly felt like he was stupid. There were still three major companies resisting this matter. Why was he anxious? Even if he was really anxious, it was the business of the three giants. After thinking about this, Xiao Ran chuckled.
He glanced at the three bosses who could drastically change the situation in the film industry just by stamping their feet, and said unhurriedly: "I think I still have no say here. The three bosses will make the decision!"
In fact, the boss of Jiahe is Zou Wenhuai. However, He Guanchang holds a lot of equity in Jiahe and is one of the major shareholders. He can be regarded as the boss of Jiahe. The three of He Guanchang looked at each other dumbfounded. Last time Xiao Ran and Fang Ruohai were in the stock market.
They had heard about the duel a little bit, and they all admired Xiao Ran's amazing calculation power.
According to Hong Kong's top trader: "This Xiao Ran is not simple. With his precise vision of the situation and his calculation power, if he messes with the stock market, we will definitely have no way out!"
Of course, that's what he said. Xiao Ran was not worried about his making money from the stock market crash being publicized, because he had made some preparations beforehand to cover up this. In fact, he did a very good job, and no one had ever heard of it.
It is suspected that the funds that caused the stock market crash belonged to Xiao Ran. Moreover, that amount of money was actually only 400 million. It was really just a drop in the ocean in the stock market, and even if it were the fault, he could not be blamed.
Of course, this is secondary. The key point is that the top ten box office lists of 1987 have been released. Five of the top ten were written by Xiao Ran. At most, this only adds some halo to Xiao Ran, Hong Kong's number one screenwriter.
However, the Phantom Company was able to occupy five seats in the top ten, which cannot be ignored by anyone. Moreover, please do not ignore that in the entire year, the Phantom Company has only released five films, which can be said to be a perfect hit. This is
This means that Phantom Company definitely does not rely on luck to win, but on real strength.
After the top ten box-office movies were announced yesterday, the whole Hong Kong media was in a sensation. The fact that Phantom Company monopolized five of the top ten seats only happened when Shaw Brothers dominated the world. Even Golden Harvest seemed to have never done this.
Brilliant, coupled with a 100% winning rate, this is simply a miracle.
Many newspapers and magazines published this news as headlines in their entertainment sections: "Phantom - the next New Art City?" "The status of the three major companies will be affected!" "Domination 1987!"
These several pieces of news have vaguely pushed Phantom Company's status in the film industry to an unprecedented climax. Not many people have the courage to doubt that Phantom will become the next New Art City, perhaps even more powerful than New Art City.
These news are not only reported in Hong Kong, but also reprinted in many famous newspapers and magazines in Southeast Asia. Hong Kong movies have always been the main force in various countries and regions in Southeast Asia, and their every move is naturally eye-catching. Currently, Phantom has an absolute advantage.
If the posture appears, it is truly a super dark horse.
In fact, if Phantom's annual financial statements are released, I'm afraid all the film companies in Hong Kong will be jealous to death. Excluding "God of Gamblers", the five films have earned Phantom at least 300 million in profits so far.
.
Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the three giants to ignore Phantom Company, and even give it a very high evaluation. At the very least, they have regarded Phantom as a potential stock that is absolutely qualified to talk to the three major companies. The reason why it is a potential stock
, that’s because Phantom’s qualifications are still relatively young.
In desperation, He Guanchang could only smile bitterly: "Aran, don't play tricks on us. Now that the heads of our four major companies are here, it's time to discuss how to deal with these guys!"
The four major companies! Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling looked at each other and almost couldn't hold back the ecstasy in their hearts and shouted. Phantom finally got the recognition of the three major companies. Perhaps in other industries, this is nothing.
However, no matter how well the Phantom Company does and how outstanding its performance is, as long as it does not surpass the three major companies for many years in a row, it must be recognized by the three major companies so that Phantom can nominally keep pace with the three major companies.
Just like Hollywood's "DreamWorks" has excellent performance, no one in Hollywood has ever considered DreamWorks to be one of the seven major companies. Even though MGM is on the verge of bankruptcy and death, it is still listed as one of the seven major companies.
.This is the peculiar thing about the film industry. In addition to your performance, you also need recognition from your peers before you can obtain certain qualifications.
It is extremely difficult for an outsider to enter the film industry. Even if they have huge funds, it is still difficult to gain recognition from their peers. Lei Kaitai and Pan Disheng are very smart, not to prepare their own companies, but to invest.
In this way, I found spokespersons in the circle such as Huang Baiming and Cen Jianxun, and then I got integrated into this circle.
Now the bosses of the three major companies actually listed Phantom as one of the four major companies. How could Xiao Ran not be overjoyed? It took more than two years for him to go from being an outsider to becoming one of the people recognized by the circle.
How could Xiao Ran not be ecstatic to become the fourth largest film company recognized by the three major companies? Although there were some external forces pushing for the recognition of the three major companies, this happened after all.
The three major companies are actually very helpless. The media's interest in Phantom Company is due to the emergence of the top ten companies of the year. As a result, after researching this company, it was discovered that Phantom Company may be slightly inferior to Jiahe in terms of scale.
However, in terms of company structure and system, it is much more complete than Jiahe.
Although Phantom still has some puzzling systems, such as the contract signing system for filmmakers. However, no one denies the strength of Phantom. Coupled with the company's financial resources, it is definitely not very easy to catch up with the three major companies in a few years.
Difficult things.
However, no one expected that Xiao Ran planned to dominate the film industry in one to two years instead of a few years. In one year, he would win the agency rights of all countries and regions in Southeast Asia, as well as at least 50% of the total in Hong Kong.
The film company's agency rights dominated the Asian film scene for two years.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Xiao Ran chuckled and glanced at the three people with different expressions: "Why do you have to deal with them? There is competition when there is pressure. I like the feeling of being challenged."
Pan Disheng suddenly laughed abnormally, pointed at Xiao Ran and said: "Aran, I thought you were very capable, but I didn't expect you couldn't even see this!"
Just when Xiao Ran was confused, the mature and prudent He Guanchang sighed and said: "The local market can accommodate up to four of us, and it is already close to saturation. If a few more powerful companies emerge, the market order will definitely be disrupted."
"The most important thing is, we can't guarantee how long the foreign market can accommodate us!" Lei Kaitai said in a serious voice: "Once the Southeast Asian market resists our film, then everyone will just hug each other and wait to die.
!”
Now it was Xiao Ran who was shocked. He and Wei Dongling looked at each other. It seemed that they had guessed wrong. It was not that the heads of the three major companies were unaware of the risks in the foreign market, or that they lacked vision, but that they saw it too clearly.
.
Secretly sighing, Xiao Ran realized at this moment that the three bosses sitting on the sofa were not simple people, otherwise how could they have created the glory of Hong Kong films. But now he finally understood why Hong Kong films had not considered it when they were heading towards glory.
long-term development, because everyone knows that the overseas market is extremely risky, and just one policy can make Hong Kong films lose their status. Therefore, they can only make money as soon as possible while they can still make money.
There is no long-term development plan because they all know that the local market for Hong Kong films cannot support a huge film production system. They have been relying on foreign markets. When the market collapses, it will cause an avalanche effect. Therefore, no one wants to go
Thinking about the future, maybe except Jiahe.
Xiao Ran was sure that Jiahe was trying to establish a film dynasty that could monopolize Hong Kong, so he gradually established a relatively complete system and production system. However, Hong Kong films declined too quickly, and Jiahe was caught off guard. In addition,
Due to various factors, Golden Harvest had no films to make after 20 years.
After two years in this era, he understood the difficulties of the Hong Kong Film Company. It was precisely because they saw the future too clearly that they lost confidence. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran admired the bosses in front of him.
With his sharp eyesight, he rubbed his nose with a smile and said, "I have completely opposite views than several bosses."
Wei Dongling listened to the words of the bosses of the three major companies and was convinced. When he heard Xiao Ran's words again, he was stunned. He didn't know what interesting things Xiao Ran was going to say. The others were also stunned, and they didn't expect that Xiao Ran was okay.
He smiled as if he was confident.
"The local market will indeed be close to saturation, but this does not mean that the overseas market will be lost!" Xiao Ran calmly took a sip of water from Wei Dongling, cleared his throat and said with a smile: "There are risks.
, However, it is definitely not as serious as everyone thinks.”
"When the mainstream of the Southeast Asian market is occupied by Hong Kong films, then we will not rely on them, but they will rely on us!" Xiao Ran thought of the future mainland market, where the annual box office of more than ten million will still mainly come from Hong Kong films and Hollywood blockbusters.
, it can be seen that once people get used to something, it is difficult to change.
The assistant next to He Guanchang couldn't help but interjected: "But, Mr. Xiao, currently Hong Kong films are far from being mainstream in the Southeast Asian market. They only occupy the mainstream market in Taiwan. Take Japan for example, support the local market
The market mainly consists of Hollywood films and local films, and it is difficult for us to get involved in them!"
The others couldn't help but nodded, wanting to know how Xiao Ran responded. Xiao Ran's fingers lightly brushed over his beard, showing a wise smile: "In fact, many things are not calculated this way. Currently, Hong Kong movies
With a considerable share of the Southeast Asian market, why can’t we beat Hollywood and local films to achieve dominance?”
"As long as we occupy the mainstream of the market, when their own film industry progresses slowly due to our impact, what can they use to fight against us?" Xiao Ran glanced sharply for a week, and when he saw this group of people, they all lowered their heads.
Thinking about it, I felt extremely happy.
"However, Hollywood has always been the most powerful film production base in the world, and it is impossible for us to defeat it!" The assistant just interrupted, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but muttered: "Although we are Eastern Hollywood,
But we don’t have a huge market to support us, so we are not a rival at all. As long as the policy is slightly tilted, then..."
Xiao Ran nodded to the assistant, and he suddenly felt that the three major companies were not all rigid people: "Because of language and cultural factors, Hollywood naturally has great advantages in the West. However, don't forget
, this is the East. Here, our advantage is the greatest. Even though they have occupied the market in many places now, as long as we persist, we will be able to drive out American films like we did in Hong Kong!"
"It's not that we don't have a market, it's that everyone has seen it!" Xiao Ran waved his hand in a very firm tone. He glanced around and saw a look of confusion on everyone's face. He smiled softly, he understood the movie
Many people in the industry are skeptical about the mainland, so it is better not to say the word "mainland market" out loud.
"Why can't we compete?" Xiao Ran smiled lightly and changed the topic quietly without anyone noticing: "Just because someone enters the market does not mean that someone has to leave. Everyone can develop together. With competition, we can do better things."
Only with movies can we conquer the Southeast Asian market!"
Many years later, Pan Disheng said with emotion: "No one dared to think that they could beat Hollywood, because its strength was there. However, just when we were all worried about losing the market, Xiao Ran proposed such a development concept.
You really need to have great courage and confidence!”
Of course, no one can realize how far-sighted the concept proposed by Xiao Ran is. He Guanchang couldn't help but shook his head. He thought that Xiao Ran didn't care, but Jiahe couldn't take it lightly. It was because Shaw Brothers underestimated Jiahe that he let Jiahe
Having seized the opportunity to grow, He Guanchang definitely does not want to make the same mistake as Shaw Brothers again.
But He Guanchang was wrong. He did not expect that the reason why Shaw Brothers lost to Jiahe was definitely not because of the emergence of Jiahe, but because of the rigidity of its own system and the loss of countless talents. If Shaw Brothers had a complete system,
So it’s really unclear who will win today.
Competition is not scary, but what is scary is that you gradually lose your competitiveness in the competition. Hong Kong films lost the Southeast Asian market because they lost their competitiveness. In the future, Golden Harvest lost their huge market because they lost their competitiveness.
Because everyone is trying their best to block outsiders, no film company in Hong Kong can continue to be prosperous until twenty years later.
Xiao Ran didn't want to and was unwilling to make such a mistake. Fang Ruohai came whenever he wanted. When he came to this area that he was familiar with, he could play whatever he wanted. At least he didn't want to be like last time with Fang Ruohai in stocks that he didn't understand at all.
If you fight, you will lose the opportunity.
The practices of the three giants are somewhat similar to the Qing Dynasty's isolation from the country. They lost the opportunity to contact with progress. As a result, they can only die. Although Hollywood also rejects foreign companies, it definitely does not reject foreign funds, technology and talents.
Coupled with healthy competition between each other, we have achieved brilliance.
Of course, outsiders who are beneficial to the market must be accepted. If they create chaos, they are the ones who should be excluded. Xiao Ran has always thought this way, and this meeting of the four giants has obviously made him understand a lot.
