The underworld is different from Fang Ruohai. The latter understands what long-term interests are, but the underworld does not. Making movies is a good way to launder money, and it is also a good way to make quick money. Therefore, after they appear, they will definitely make crazy and shoddy products.
This situation is definitely not what Xiao Ran wants.
The idea of suppressing the three film companies controlled by the underworld was decided by Xiao Ran. As for the revenge of the three major associations, he had his own way to solve it. In fact, it would be fine if he did not suppress them. As long as they were willing to abide by the rules of the film industry, Xiao Ran might not be able to do it.
Will do this.
What makes Xiao Ran even more troublesome is that even Fa Ge has come up with the idea of making money by accepting films regardless of quality. What about other actors, directors, and other filmmakers? This number must be extremely huge, and he can even guess that many people
I am complaining that the company has too few dramas.
Special greetings to the company's contracted artists and filmmakers who all stayed. After Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling sent the three giants away, they went on stage with stern faces. They gently held the microphone and looked at the confused eyes in the audience.
, a mocking smile gradually appeared on Xiao Ran's face. He really didn't know how many of them had the same thoughts as Brother Fa just now, or even worse.
Just imagine that Liu Hua actually made more than ten films in his most prosperous year. Although some of them may have been forced, Xiao Ran still believed that very few of Liu Hua's more than 100 films could be regarded as
A masterpiece. If it weren't for Liu Hua, who is popular and hard-working, and has some classic works, it would be a question whether anyone would still remember them in a few decades.
Xiao Ran does not require every actor to be clean and self-respecting. After all, many actors have honed their acting skills in countless bad movies. They all need to perform. But for people like Zhou Xingchi and Fa Ge who have begun to become popular, or are already very popular.
As an actor, you must have restraint and self-control.
Xiao Ran has a very good way of understanding this kind of thing. If a director can always direct blockbuster films, then his value will definitely continue to rise in a straight line until it reaches a point where it can no longer rise.
The actors are all the same, and there is an unwritten rule of the game in Hollywood: once an actor's three consecutive films fail to satisfy the box office, then it is time to reduce the salary. Xiao Ran tried to be more strict, because he absolutely did not want the stars to
With salaries rising rapidly, it is absolutely necessary to control the stars.
His eyes scanned the audience for a long time, and Xiao Ran's calm expression inevitably made the originally cheerful atmosphere heavier. After a long silence, Xiao Ran turned his attention to a few actors who had become popular with the company's support, such as Zhang Min.
As well as Wang Zuxian, Wu Junru, Liu Qingyun, Zhou Xingchi and others.
After staring at them so hard that they all felt guilty, Xiao Ran smiled faintly, but his tone was very slow and he said word for word: "The company allows you to take on outside dramas because you all need to make money, and I need you to get enough performances.
experience!"
"Looking at it now, the situation is very good. There are people who are temporarily unable to find work in the company, but they can find work outside through the company's recommendations and personal relationships." The gentle tone reached this point, and the conversation suddenly changed, and the tone became
Extremely sharp: "However, I definitely don't want actors who have become popular to continue to be bad actors as always. This is not the company's rule, but it is my advice to everyone."
This sentence immediately aroused a lot of discussion among the people in the audience, and everyone turned their attention to Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Min, because these two are the most popular people in the company at present. Of course, except for Lin Qingxia.
"However, I have not found such a situation so far, which is very good!" At this point, Xiao Ran showed a smile, but it soon turned into a stern look: "But this does not mean that there will not be any in the future. In the future, every one of you will
Everyone has the opportunity to become a first-line star, so you must pass this test with a clean heart and love yourself, and cherish everything you have gained through hard work!"
Lin Qingxia quietly stared at Xiao Ran on the stage, who was gradually unable to face him face to face. She felt that Xiao Ran had a very special charm at this moment, a kind of power and power that made people dare not resist.
She suddenly discovered that Xiao Ran's changes were getting bigger and bigger. He quickly grew from a seemingly naughty and lively young man to one who gradually became mature and mature beyond his years. However, she still liked Xiao Ran's lively and cheerful personality.
On the one hand, she thought that maybe it was this side of her personality that attracted her in the first place, and maybe it was also because of Xiao Ran's young and mature unique charm.
Xiao Ran had no way of knowing how many people had heard what he just said, but he had tried his best. If someone really made this mistake, Xiao Ran would try his best to save it. If it was really hopeless, he would definitely not do anything.
Give up mercilessly, and then replace it with other artists.
On the third day, he was about to go to Macau to start shooting the new film "Dark Flower", so Xiao Ran spent the whole day in the office dealing with matters. In addition to doing the final script review, he also had to decide whether to film or not.
And he is currently confirming the producer for "New Dragon Inn" in order to carry out preliminary preparations. The task of a producer is not simple, and it is one of the few positions that follows from the early stage to the late stage. The producer not only has to determine the cast and crew, but also
Carefully select every item that needs to be classified in the film, and then distribute the script to the set designers, photography and props, as well as transportation and costume personnel.
These people then calculate and determine the money required for each project and formulate a shooting plan. Simply put, at least half of whether a film makes money or loses money is related to the producer.
Producing is a very hard job. He takes care of everything for the entire crew. He also has to follow up from pre-production to post-production. In addition, he also has a very important responsibility, which is to solicit sponsorship. Of course,
For Phantom, sponsorship is optional, but Xiao Ran still asked them to try their best to bring in some advertisements.
For such an important position, Xiao Ran did not dare to leave it to newcomers with complete confidence. Although there were many producers in the company, there was a lack of producers with sufficient experience. Xiao Ran believed that those new producers need to go through some experience before they can do it.
Talent worthy of reuse. This time, he chose Peter Chan.
After letting An Yuxuan notify Chen Kexin to come, Xiao Ran quietly thought about which actors should be finalized in advance. Lin Qingxia was definitely the heroine. As for the role of Jin Xiangyu, Xiao Ran thought about it for a long time and finally abandoned Zhang Manyu.
Instead, Feng Feier was chosen.
This is an adventure, but it cannot be said to be an adventure. "New Dragon Inn" was released in 1992, and Zhang Manyu's acting skills had already been recognized at that time. But now Zhang Manyu is just a beautiful vase, instead of using other
Xiao Ran might as well choose Feng Feier for the company's vases.
Of course, the leading actor is Liang Jiahui. His contract with Yindu is about to be terminated. With him as an actor who is relatively pro-Beijing, it will be easier to break through the psychological bottom line in the mainland. As for the villain, Xiao Ran still chose Zhen Zidan, even though he
Now he is not a signed artist of Phantom Company at all.
However, it doesn't matter. Considering that Spy is likely to find Zhen Zidan as the starring role, and Xiao Ran expected that there are many films suitable for Zhen Zidan to star, he called An Yuxuan in. He only glanced at the attractive woman.
The secretary, Xiao Ran, said calmly: "Axuan, tell Mr. Wei and ask him to sign Zhen Zidan! At least a two-year contract must be signed."
An Yuxuan glanced at her boss who was still immersed in work, and the curiosity in her heart was so intense that she couldn't describe it. She had heard other employees in the company mention before that Zhou Xingchi and Liu Qingyun were not known to anyone at all, but they were taken aback by the boss.
He has the potential to become famous. She is very curious about what kind of person Zhen Zidan is, so that he can be favored by the boss.
Xiao Ran didn't know what An Yuxuan was thinking, so he thought about it and decided to choose Huang Zhan for the soundtrack. As for photography, this time he finally no longer looked after the company's contracted photographer, but chose Huang Letai, and he found an art director
Zhang Shuping will do it.
"New Dragon Gate Inn" cannot be missed. It will be the first step for the new martial arts, so Xiao Ran tried his best to choose some behind-the-scenes lineups that he was relatively sure of. Thinking of this, he wrote down all the candidates he had finalized. No
After a while, Chen Kexin came.
Xiao Ran stood up, rubbed his tired waist, and sighed: "People will die when they get old!"
Chen Kexin almost laughed. Only people in their twenties dared to call Xiao Ran old. He made a joke to lighten the atmosphere, then Xiao Ran gave him the script and said seriously: "This script must be done more strictly.
, there is absolutely no room for error, and the budget can be relaxed a little.”
"Yes, Mr. Xiao!" Chen Kexin nodded, glanced at the script briefly, and was slightly surprised.
"Go back and think about what to do!" When Chen Kexin walked to the door, Xiao Ran suddenly stopped him: "Axin, do you want to be a director? Work hard and make this film, and you will be allowed to start a movie next year."
The young Chen Kexin was inspired by Xiao Ran and suddenly became excited. Being a director was his dream. Seeing that Chen Kexin left happily, Xiao Ran was happy. He planned to write "A Tale of Two Cities" for Chen Kexin next year. However, he had to do it.
As a producer, he has already let many filmmakers go their own way in advance. In order to ensure that they have sufficient abilities, Xiao Ran believes that it is very necessary to serve as a producer for new directors.
The director of "New Dragon Inn" is Xu Ke, and he has already discussed this matter with Xu Ke a few days ago. As long as Xu Ke completes the work at hand, he can start work immediately. Lei Kaitai has nothing to do with this
In my opinion, since the relationship between New Art City and Phantom is so good, borrowing it is not a big problem.
After finishing this matter, Xiao Ran asked An Yuxuan to notify a producer named Tian Tian and Chen Musheng to come to the company. This time he calmed down to appreciate the script. After browsing several scripts, Xiao Ran determined which one was necessary to start filming. This
I just picked up the last notebook, which belonged to Wang Jiawei, and the four characters "Carmen in Mongkok" were clearly written on the cover.
Finally it’s here! Xiao Ran’s smile gradually spread. 1988 is the most important year for the development of Phantom. It must overwhelmingly defeat the three major companies with absolute quality and quantity, thereby winning the agency rights negotiations with Southeast Asia, and then
To achieve the goal of reversing the situation of the entire Hong Kong film industry.
In fact, he knows that he is already influencing the film industry. His status as a screenwriter has been widely valued by other film companies because of his recognition as the number one screenwriter-director and film company boss. Basically, Debao has begun to imitate Xiao Ran.
They have also begun to set up a screenwriter contracting system. Jiahe is still too shy to let go of its big company attitude and imitate Phantom. As for New Art City, it is already very strong in terms of screenwriters and directors.
Xiao Ran took some time to look through the script carefully and made sure it was no different from what he had seen. Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He had been looking forward to Wang Jiawei's directorial debut. As long as Wang Jiawei made this film, it would definitely be possible.
It exerted the super effect that Xiao Ran expected.
Xiao Ran didn't even plan to take this script to the screenwriting team to revise the professional information in it, for fear that a small change would lead to failure. After An Yuxuan notified Wang Jiawei, Du Qifeng and the two producers, Xiao Ran's work became easier
many.
Wan Ziliang was originally cast in this film, and since he mentioned his intention to collaborate last time, he simply chose him this time. After all, he was an experienced actor and reliable. Xiao Ran thought about it and decided to just
Got him.
The company's screenwriting team has already submitted a lot of scripts, and several of them are of great commercial value. Of course, Xiao Ran doesn't think it's a good thing to start shooting so many films at once. Therefore, he keeps some of the scripts in his hands and wants to
We’ll make preparations after a while.
However, there are still two available. One of them is the first novel written by Qiu Yu, which is a police and gangster theme with a science fiction color. Some time ago, Xiao Ran had asked the screenwriter team to modify the novel.
The science fiction color adds a logical component to the plot.
The other script is also the work of Kong Jiaqing, a member of the screenwriting team. It is a literary theme, and if the director is good, he will have a chance to win an award. It is also not any film in Xiao Ran's memory. It can be seen that the history of the film industry has changed greatly.
More and more excellent screenwriters are quickly emerging.
Chen Musheng and Du Qifeng arrived first, and now Chen Musheng is still Du Qifeng's assistant director. After the two of them and a producer named Hu Wen arrived, Xiao Ran didn't waste any time and just handed the script to the producer and finalized Lao Du's decision.
director.
After giving these instructions, Xiao Ran stared at Chen Musheng with a half-smile and said slowly: "A Sheng, how confident do you think you are now? I mean directing a film independently, what subject matter are you interested in?"
Chen Musheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. Xiao Ran said this because he had the idea to correct him, so that he could not be unhappy. He blurted out almost without thinking: "Brother Ran, I personally prefer action scenes.
