The entire large room was silent, and Xiao Ran smiled confidently. Whether the three major companies agreed or opposed it, it had no effect on him. The reason why he wanted to wake up these people was because he wanted them to work together to develop Hong Kong films.
In the past, Xiao Ran thought that he could save Hong Kong films, and indeed he could. However, if a complete film production system was not established, no matter how capable he was, once he let go, there was a high possibility that Hong Kong films would decline again. Once there was one,
Such a system will form a good cycle, and when the time comes, everyone will be able to operate in a mature manner.
As far as his current identity and status are concerned, he can only say so much, otherwise no matter how much he says, it may not be effective. Therefore, there are some things that he has not said out loud. Instead of saying more, he will not do more to let the three major companies
Take a look at Phantom's development model and provide them with an example. In two years at most, Phantom Company will be able to put pressure on them, and then they will be the only ones listening to Xiao Ran.
Everyone in the room looked strange. He Guanchang shook his head and nodded, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed. Pan Disheng had an indifferent look on his face, as if he didn't care about anything, but the thoughtfulness in his eyes was undisguised.
It was projected out. Only Lei Kaitai smiled, as if he didn't take this to heart at all, and seemed to have made a decision long ago.
He Guanchang thought about it for a long time. Xiao Ran's words are not unreasonable. However, Jiahe's strategic goal is to monopolize the local film market in Hong Kong, not to expand to Southeast Asia or even compete with Hollywood. This is definitely not in line with Jiahe's interests. They also do not have such strength, at least
He thinks so.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head to Xiao Ran: "No, your method probably won't work. I think it's better to tightly grasp the local market in Hong Kong. As for other places, you're lucky to be able to make money!"
"I am very interested in this proposal, but I don't like outsiders to get involved!" Pan Di smiled slightly and gave Xiao Ran a half-agree and half-objection reply.
Everyone in the room turned their attention to Lei Kaitai, who was laughing. Lei Kaitai's eyes widened: "What are you looking at me for? I have the same idea as Lao Pan. Just wait and see what happens and try not to let other people in."
field!"
Xiao Ran had expected this result. Jiahe is more mature and steady, while Xinyi City is relatively more aggressive. As for Debao, he is more cerebral. He shook his head slightly and smiled, shrugged and said indifferently: "Very well."
Okay, then Uncle Chang, how do you want to deal with them?"
"It's still the same as before, unite together and prevent their films from being included." He Guanchang said this matter very skillfully: "Warn the company's contracted artists not to accept their films. In short, inform the entire industry who
No one is allowed to take part in their drama, otherwise we will join forces to ban them!"
That's vicious enough! Xiao Ran sighed with emotion, complaining that there were only a few really powerful film companies in Hong Kong, but it turned out that they were all blocked like this. If you add gangsters to harass them every day, even God can't stand it, let alone one company.
He Guanchang smiled and said to Xiao Ran and the others: "Just leave this matter to the people below. Let's go out and enjoy it. When I come to you, if I don't give you a good beating, I will really be unwilling to do so!"
Xiao Ranjue fell, and He Guanchang's joke was really interesting. Lei Kaitai also stood up, relaxed his muscles and bones, and then continued to tease him enviously: "Mr. Xiao, you have done a good job. This year,
He won the annual box office championship and occupied five seats in the top ten. His future is formidable!"
Among the four bosses, the most depressing one is probably Pan Di Sheng. In 1987, only one of the top ten treasures, "Wealth and Power", was on the list. At least, he has barely regained a little respect from the three giants. The most prosperous one is undoubtedly Xiao Ran.
and Phantom. When the company first opened, who would have expected such results.
They came to the banquet hall chatting and laughing together. Xiao Ran saw Mo Huaien from afar, pestering Lin Qingxia like brown candy, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He said sorry to the three bosses, and then
Walk towards Lin Qingxia.
Lin Qingxia was already very impatient with Mo Huaien's entanglement. When she saw Xiao Ran approaching with a sullen face, she almost jumped with joy. Xiao Ran came closer and completely ignored Mo Huaien's elegant attitude towards Lin Qingxia.
Extending his hand: "Can I ask you to dance?"
"Of course!" Lin Qingxia knew that Xiao Ran didn't know how to dance at all, so she deliberately pretended to be like this, which made her want to laugh.
Mo Huaien saw that Lin Qingxia, whom he had been pestering for so long, could not be invited to dance. He did not expect Xiao Ran, his godbrother, to succeed as soon as he came. It was really depressing. However, fortunately, he was not easily discouraged.
I just watched helplessly as Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia disappeared into the crowd.
How could Xiao Ran know how to dance? After complaining endlessly, Lin Qingxia covered her mouth and smiled softly. Her expression was so moving that Xiao Ran's eyes were stunned. Lin Qingxia said angrily: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at you!" Xiao Ran put his hand gently on Lin Qingxia's slender waist, and said with a glib smile: "Whether it is here or in the whole world, I only have eyes for you!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Qingxia guided Xiao Ran's steps while bringing her face closer to Xiao Ran: "What were you talking about just now? Why did you go so long? Xingzai and the others were all looking for you just now!"
"I'm going to discuss with them when to marry my sister Lin!" Sniffing the faint fragrance, Xiao Ran became more and more intoxicated. This feeling was completely different from the feeling of being with Fang Ruoxin. Xiao Ran knew that,
This is the feeling of being completely immersed in experiencing love: "What do Xingzai and the others want from me?"
"Who knows!" No matter how bold Lin Qingxia was, she blushed a little at Xiao Ran's teasing in the public. Fortunately, Xiao Ran spoke very quietly, so she was not afraid of anyone hearing her: "Maybe it's about the new movie!"
He reluctantly jumped a little, and after stepping on his feet a few times, Xiao Ran simply stopped jumping because of the distress. As soon as he sat down with Lin Qingxia and took two glasses of wine, Wei Dongling came over with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man
The person was Chen Jiale, the general manager of Tianlai Records. Xiao Ran didn't see this person very often.
However, Xiao Ran admired Chen Jiale's ability to do things. Not long after Tianlai was founded, it was already managed like a big company. However, the company still had no real popular singers. Xiao Ran once mentioned it to Zhang Guorong and Ye Qianwen.
All the things that were overdue were rejected. He understood that friendship was friendship and work was work.
After all, Tianlai Records has just been founded. Although it has the backing of Phantom, the success of Phantom in movies does not necessarily mean that it will be successful in music. Fortunately, Tianlai has invited some famous lyricists and composers, as well as
Producer Huang Shangwei and so on.
Of course, on this basis, Xiao Ran's request is still to support newcomers as much as possible. Chen Jiale actually doesn't understand Xiao Ran. He calls him stupid. There is no reason why he can become a capable person from an outsider in two years.
The boss who had direct conversations with the three giants said he was smart, but Xiao Ran let him go and didn't care about anything. Chen Jiale had never encountered such a laissez-faire work environment.
Chen Jiale didn't know Xiao Ran's difficulties. He didn't want to control Tian Lai, but he didn't know how to manage. It would be absolutely idiotic to interfere in this way. Furthermore, Xiao Ran didn't think he needed to make the decision in everything. The most important thing was that he didn't want to control Tian Lai.
Yes, Xiao Ran has always wanted to find investment partners in Tianlai and form a board of directors supervision situation.
Chen Jiale had nothing to do here. He mainly wanted to report on the recent company situation. Xiao Ran suddenly remembered something and quickly asked: "Do you know a young man named Lei Songde? He should be doing advertising with Uncle Zhan now.
He is a good musician, you can definitely ask him to make music, believe me!"
After settling this matter, Wei Dongling took a glass of martini, with a hint of resentment in his eyes: "I didn't expect that what they did was really amazing. Fortunately, we were not banned at the time, otherwise no matter how much money we had, they would still be playing with us."
die."
If Xiao Ran didn't feel scared, he would be lying, but now that Phantom is destined to become big, he is not worried about the three major companies starting to attack Phantom. He already owns a theater chain in the projection industry, and is actively working with Taiwan on distribution.
After negotiating, only Japan and South Korea, which have larger markets, are left.
Only now did Xiao Ran realize how important it was that he first got into the circle and then gained good popularity. If not, I'm afraid Phantom would not be able to survive at all. Now he smiled: "It's okay, if
If Fang Ruohai is easily stumped like this, then he can't threaten us!"
"Do you really want him to come in?" Wei Dongling became increasingly confused about what Xiao Ran was thinking: "If he really comes in, he will definitely go against the company, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!"
"I think what A Dong said makes sense!" Lin Qingxia also expressed her agreement, with deep worry in her eyes. She remembered that when Fang Ruohai randomly took millions to invest in "The Dreamer"
He said it was just for fun: "If we really let him in, there will be endless troubles!"
"It doesn't matter!" Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously, not so much mysteriously, but as if he was confident of winning: "It's interesting to have him fight, otherwise we will have no opponent!"
If there weren't people coming and going in the banquet hall, I'm afraid Wei Dongling would punch Xiao Ran hard to vent his dissatisfaction. But of course he didn't know what Xiao Ran was thinking. In fact, Xiao Ran's idea was very simple. Fang Ruohai is a powerful person, that's for sure.
If he makes a movie, he will definitely do a good job.
Based on the hatred between the two parties, Xiao Ran was sure that Fang Ruohai would go against him. This suited his wishes. As long as Fang Ruohai competed with him, it would indirectly help Xiao Ran to open up the Hong Kong film market. Xiao Ran had no reason to refuse such an offer.
A powerful person comes to help him. Besides, to deal with Fang Ruohai, the best battlefield is of course to choose a place where he is good at.
While chatting, Zhou Runfa came. Although Fa Ge has not signed a film contract with Phantom yet, he is basically regarded as a member of Phantom, because the whole Hong Kong knows that he has a very good personal relationship with Phantom CEO.
He came to sit down next to Xiao Ran, glanced at Lin Qingxia and Xiao Ran, and immediately couldn't help teasing: "You guys look... you are really happy. Do you want to find a place where no one is around to talk about love?"
The two of them immediately felt a little embarrassed. They looked around and found no one. Then they were relieved. Fa Ge told Xiao Ran very straightforwardly: "Aran, Xiang Qiang asked me to shoot a film for their company. What do you think? Should I accept it or not?"
?”
"Are you going to ask me what I'm doing?" Xiao Ran was very depressed. If such a thing happened, he would always ask his agent and ask him what he was doing: "In short, as long as it doesn't conflict with the company's drama!"
"Forget it, who in Hong Kong doesn't know that you are the hand of God!" Fa Ge was obviously in a happy mood. In just one year, he became the number one actor in Hong Kong. Although he was not a vain person in the first place.
Human, but this is a good thing after all, how could it make him unhappy: "Give me some advice, I'm very hesitant now."
"What's there to be hesitant about!" Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at Brother Fa. He still hesitated about such a thing. He glanced at Lin Qingxia, who was watching the two of them bickering and laughing, and analyzed it to Brother Fa: "Do you want to watch a movie?"
Do you want a clean environment in the industry? Do you want to cherish your reputation or do you want to make money?"
"I understand the first sentence. You want to say that he is a gangster, so you should try not to get involved with him!" Fa Ge looked very confused: "But what does the last sentence mean?"
Xiao Ran chuckled and explained: "If you want to make money, make more films while your reputation is at its strongest. If you want to cherish your reputation, take as few films as possible and try to make every film the best it can be. This is what you
Just look at the company and you will know that this year it only released five films, but each of them was in the top ten."
Fa Ge showed a thoughtful look, then smiled quickly and gave Xiao Ran a hard punch: "Why do your words always seem so reasonable?"
Xiao Ran was punched by Fa Ge, but he didn't care at all. He was thinking now that Xiang Qiang and the others were finally going to make a move. Plus Lian Ying and Thirteen K, I'm afraid the film industry would be in chaos again. Ruo Hai, he wouldn't
He cared about it, but he was very nervous about the entry of the three major societies.
Because he knew Fang Ruohai's character very well and would not be so short-sighted. The reason why Fang Ruohai made a decisive decision to withdraw capital was certainly due to Fang Ruoxin, but Fang Ruohai knew very well that Xiao Ran would never succumb to that kind of contract.
Come on, it won't take long for you to fall out.
Before Fang Ruohai decided to withdraw his capital, he understood why Xiao Ran did not allow him to own shares in the company and could only sign the contract in the form of a share of financing. This was nothing more than fear that Fang Ruohai would one day swallow up Phantom with his strong financial resources.
Before making the decision that day, Fang Ruohai admired Xiao Ran for a while.
