The next day, Xiao Ran looked at himself in the mirror with reddish eyes, and couldn't help but laugh at himself. He originally disapproved of personality worship, but who knew that now he was so nervous to see Xu Ke?
It went against his usual ideas.
The founding office of New Art City was in Hong Kong and Kowloon. At the beginning, it only had an office of one thousand feet (the following article will directly convert it to the weights and measures we are familiar with). However, New Art City soon made a lot of money and has now moved to
On the top floor, there is an office that is more than ten times larger than the original one, and the original office was used to set up a "Friends of New Art City".
Although there were no casual clothes in that era, Xiao Ran still didn't wear a suit, which made him feel very awkward. Now that there were not many people in the elevator, he felt much more relaxed. When he entered the gate of Xinyi City Company,
I saw a few large characters clearly written behind the reception desk.
When he entered this film company that he had liked for a long time, he saw some laughter and laughter, but there was no tense atmosphere. The employees here occasionally talked and walked around occasionally, and there was a very friendly atmosphere. Xiao Ran thought, maybe this is the new
Probably one of the reasons for Yicheng’s success.
Someone led Xiao Ran to Xu Ke's office door, knocked on the door, and heard an energetic voice coming from inside: "Come in!"
Xiao Ran took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, opened the door and walked in. The inside was not very big, at least it was much smaller than the high-level offices of some large commercial companies. The only good thing was that it could be
View from the window.
Sitting behind the desk was a lean young man. Xiao Ran's heart was beating wildly, and he kept telling himself that this was the Hong Kong ghost Xu Ke. Xu Ke raised his head and saw Xiao Ran, and was slightly startled, as if he remembered
As if something, he smiled dryly: "Are you Xiao Ran?"
"Director Xu, I am Xiao Ran!" Feeling the urge to rush forward and ask for an autograph, Xiao Ran wanted to slap himself twice to calm himself down.
It can't be said that Xiao Ran is very emotional. He doesn't admire actors and stars. For a talented director like Xu Ke, he truly appreciates him with some admiration. Fortunately, his admiration is obviously not like that of a star fan.
Just as enthusiastic, but more appreciative, so he calmed down quickly.
Xu was ridiculous. He stood up and stretched, then left his desk and said to Xiao Ran: "The script you wrote about The True Character of a Hero is very good. I want to buy it and make it into a movie. What do you think?"
Only a fool would refuse such a proposal. Besides, this is the box office champion next year. How could Xiao Ran refuse? He nodded and stood up with a smile and said, "If I didn't want to make it into a movie, why would I write it?"
"Xiao Ran, after reading this script, I think you are very talented. Are you interested in joining Xinyi City?" Xu Ke suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran, with a look in his eyes that Xiao Ran couldn't refuse.
Xiao Ran felt a surge of emotion. He actually had the opportunity to work with such a fierce person as Xu Ke? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh a few times to vent his excitement. However, he knew one thing well as he was familiar with the rules of the mall.
If you want to achieve a certain goal, you must not reveal this intention in front of the other party in order to gain greater benefits.
After the initial excitement, he quickly thought of a more serious problem. Many of Hong Kong's future outstanding film industry figures are from TVB, and according to what he knew in his dream, New Arts City and ATV seemed to have a good relationship. "Seven Years"
The heroine Li Zhi of "The Itch" was borrowed by New Art City from ATV. It is known to the whole world that TVB and ATV are not in agreement. To put it simply, if he enters New Art City, there is no hope of getting to know him.
Wireless is awesome.
After pondering for a moment, he made a decision. Wireless's long-term contract was unacceptable to him no matter what, but he didn't like to be restrained. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "Sorry, Director Xu, I
I am more accustomed to freedom, so signing a contract is not suitable for me."
There was deep regret in Xu Ke's eyes. He read the script carefully and felt that there was much room for improvement. However, he obviously did not get angry because of it. Instead, he said generously: "That's what it should be. However, you are in this aspect
You seem very talented, don’t give up!”
"Of course!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly. He couldn't bear to reject his idol like this: "I will continue to write scripts. If you are interested, I will contact you in the future!"
"How much do you plan to bid for this script?" Xu could do nothing, and smiled with a hint of regret: "Don't bid too high, our company is very poor!"
When Xiao Ran heard Xu Ke's words, he immediately complained in his heart. He didn't know how much it would cost to buy such a script in this era! Xu Ke thought about it and thought that he had no such experience, so he felt quite embarrassed about this.
Xiao Ran understands that New Art City has a lot of screenwriters, so there is no need to pay for them.
Xiao Ran obviously has no idea about the price of scripts. If it were Hollywood, a good script would probably be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Especially in the late 1990s and the 21st century, the price of scripts in Hollywood was even as high as hundreds of dollars.
10,000, or even just pay this price to buy a good idea.
The only thing he knew was that when New Art City was looking for Xu Guanjie to star in "The Best Partner", Xu Guanjie's asking price was 1 million. At that time, 500,000 could already buy a villa, and 1 million was enough to film a movie.
A movie. However, that was a few years ago. "The Best Partner" quickly became a hit after its release, and its large investment approach was quickly copied by other film companies.
"Fifty thousand yuan, if it's a hit, there will be bonuses, what do you think?" Xu Ke thought for a while, and finally gave a price. Xiao Ran now somewhat understands Xu Ke, probably because Xu Ke is good at money.
Not too sensitive, otherwise he wouldn't have spent a full 100 million on "The Legend of Shushan" later in the dream.
Of course Xiao Ran didn't have any objections. His script was originally a plagiarism of the idea in his dream. If he kept fussing over it, he would hate himself very much. That's how it happened. At this time, a relatively thin and tall woman opened the door and came in and said
: "Ake... Hey, do you have someone here?"
"He is a very talented screenwriter. He is the screenwriter who showed you the script a few days ago." Xu Ke pointed at Xiao Ran and introduced him to the woman. Then he introduced the woman to Xiao Ran: "She is Shi Nansheng, my wife."
, responsible for the company’s financial management!”
As early as when Shi Nansheng came in, Xiao Ran had vaguely guessed that Shi Nansheng was definitely an outstanding woman. If Xu Ke didn't have such an outstanding wife, it would be difficult for him to have the achievements he dreamed of.
Shi Nansheng was very delicate when she was young. Xiao Ran smiled and nodded to her, and said politely: "Hello, Mrs. Shi, I am Xiao Ran!"
Shi Nansheng laughed quickly. She sat down and said to Xiao Ran, who was also sitting next to her: "The script you wrote is very good. Although the name sounds like the movie "A Better Tomorrow" from 1960s, the content is almost the same.
new."
"It's an award, it just happened to me by chance!" Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed, but he understood how the screenwriter got his money. After writing the script and giving it to the film company, he would get the first payment, and he would get the first payment after the company completed the filming.
Get the final issue. Of course, if the box office is good, the screenwriter will also receive a certain amount of dividends.
After leaving the company, he did not go home immediately, but wandered around the streets. He has not wandered around Hong Kong since the adventure! Now he has 25,000 yuan in his pocket, and he will not go
If you take a look, you would be really sorry for yourself.
Walking on the street, Xiao Ran looked around like a country bumpkin. When he unconsciously turned his head to the center of the road, a luxury sports car sped past and stopped outside the shopping mall in front. What Xiao Ran saw first
It was a calf that was so white and tender that it made people want to pounce on it and take a bite. Just such a calf already made him uneasy.
The next thing that appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes was a stunning face. The facial features were all extremely beautiful, and they also matched the extremely beautiful face. Even though Xiao Ran had experienced hundreds of battles, he couldn't help but his heart beat so fast that he seemed to be gasping for breath.
As if out of breath.
There was a kind of suffocating beauty, a calm and peerless appearance. Xiao Ran's breathing stopped, for fear that every breath would stain this fairy-like woman. Even after the woman left, Xiao Ran
Still standing there, motionless. Looking at the people around him again, the waiter's eyes widened, as if he couldn't bear to swallow this woman, completely forgetting his duties.
Living in this era, Xiao Ran couldn't help but compare this woman with an actress. Compared with Lin Qingxia, this woman is both heroic and charming, but has another kind of extra enchantment and tranquility. But in terms of appearance, this woman
She was actually slightly more beautiful than any other actress Xiao Ran had ever seen.
He took a deep breath of air, and it took him a long time to calm down the surging emotions. In his opinion, it was absolutely rare in the world for beauty to reach such a state. But he didn't know who this woman was.
With such a face, he also looks like he is very rich. However, no matter how beautiful he is, Xiao Ran is not easily deceived by beauty.
He looked around a few times and finally found a sticker for renting a house in Siu Sai Wan. He browsed it carefully and found that the conditions were quite good. The only doubt was that he was asking for shared accommodation!
Xiao Ran didn't know how the spread of shared housing spread, but he was sure that the concept of shared housing only appeared in the late 1990s. And now in 1985, it is really strange that shared housing exists now!
Anyway, he thought he should give it a try. Soon he found the house, which was really nice. It was in a series of private residential buildings, a residential area. Finding the exact location of the house, he rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened, and what appeared in front of him was a young man about twenty-three or four years old. The young man asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"Rent!" Xiao Ran smiled and shook the rental paper that he had just torn off. The young man was stunned for a moment and immediately invited him in.
After entering, Xiao Ran saw another young man sitting on the sofa and smiled nonchalantly. The young man who opened the door must be the owner of the house. He chuckled and said to the two of them: "I didn't expect that the rent notice was posted.
No one has shown any interest for months, and now two people are here all of a sudden!"
After introducing each other, the so-called owner of the house was named Wei Dongling. In fact, he also rented the house. The real owner immigrated to Canada. As for the other young man who looked quite strong, he introduced himself with a smile: "I am a tourist."
Zhi, just call me Ayou!"
"Are you You Zhi?" Xiao Ran suddenly heard the name and couldn't help but jumped up and shouted!
