The Hong Kong Arts Center Guild Hall is actually not too small, but Xiao Ran always feels that it is much different from the 24th Academy Awards held in the Coliseum. It seems that next year, maybe we will find a more spacious place, maybe the Coliseum.
It's a good choice, Xiao Ran thought.
The Academy Awards this year finally put the Phantom Company's camp in the most positive position, which means that it is the leading position in the Hong Kong film industry. Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but what is certain is that this time Phantom's
The lineup is so strong that it can't be resisted.
Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Runfa, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, and other famous celebrities are all members of the Phantom. And Liu Hua, Zhang Manyu, Wu Junru, Wang Zuxian, Su Renyao, Feng Fei'er, Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu and the sisters Shuanghua
These people who are becoming popular are also Phantom people.
And last year, Du Qifeng and Wu Yusen, who were praised for their action movies, as well as Xu Ke, Huang Baiming and Wang Jiawei. There are also several new directors who were promoted by Xiao Ran and have achieved good results. These are all Phantoms.
people.
If we have to separate the current lineups of the four major companies in Hong Kong, the Phantom can almost represent the Hong Kong film industry. Because except for Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Wan Ziliang, the most outstanding actors in Hong Kong do not belong to the Phantom.
They are all close to Phantom. And in terms of the behind-the-scenes lineup, it is even more powerful. Any combination of a crew in the Phantom lineup will be qualified to win awards at the Academy Awards.
Of course, the camp is a camp, which does not mean that everyone needs to sit in the same square. At least Xiao Ran feels that this is not necessary. It is too clear and the feeling is too indifferent. What's more, Phantom is now with Debao and Tianluo
The relationship is quite good, but there are some conflicts with Jiahe.
The period before the start was the best time to connect with each other and talk to people. Xiao Ran had no reason and no chance to miss this opportunity. After scanning for a week and seeing that Lin Qingxia hadn't arrived yet, he smiled lightly and saw Liang Chaowei.
Xiao Ran really loves and hates this actor.
Love because he really likes this handsome guy with deep electric eyes, hate because this guy was originally going to work with Phantom, but when Phantom took over ATV, TVB immediately refused to allow him to film with Phantom. I have to admit, TVB
His desire to rule is really strong, even stronger than Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran became a little depressed. There were rumors from high-level people in the industry that Shaw Brothers was about to make a comeback. In this case, the Phantom would have to fight to the death with Shaw Brothers. It was terrible. He clearly didn't want to have internal conflicts, but he had to fight with these useless gangs.
People do unnecessary things.
Thinking of TVB's future hegemony, Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't know much about TV dramas, and it was hard to know how ATV had given up its dominance to TVB in history. But based on his current understanding of business,
It is obviously easy to draw a general conclusion.
He knew that theoretically speaking, there were many possibilities for ATV to lose to TVB. But he believed that the rigidity of the administrative system might be one of the reasons. Wei Dongling had personally taken the initiative to rectify this and formulated a system. The other was nothing more than the rigidity of the administrative system.
It seems that ATV is not as creative as TVB, and its star system is also far inferior. At least in Xiao Ran's memory, he has never heard of a few outstanding people from ATV.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart moved. Future variety shows can learn from it. For example, TVB's award-winning TV show has been popular for ten years and is known as the top viewership in Hong Kong. As for TV series, they must increase their efforts. Wei Jiahui
He is indeed a talented person, and he can continue to hone his skills in the television industry for the time being, while creating classic ATV drama series.
What makes Xiao Ran most at ease is the star-making project. He is not worried at all. Just kidding, he and Wei Dongling have discussed it. Actors need to be trained, and TV stations are definitely a very good place. Therefore, currently, the members of the Phantom Training Department
Few graduates can be retained directly, but most of them are sent to ATV.
Once an actor works for ATV for a few years and comes back to film, an echelon will be formed. Phantom can continuously transfer high-quality talents to ATV, and ATV will also provide experienced actors for Phantom. Fa Ge and Liu
Super stars such as Hua Hua and Liang Chaowei are not from TV stations. This obviously proves that TV stations can hone people.
While walking and thinking, I came to Liang Chaowei. The person who was sitting in that seat quickly gave up his seat respectfully and said: "Mr. Xiao, sit down!"
Xiao Ran nodded to the man and said thank you, then looked at Liang Chaowei and said lightly: "Awei, I really don't understand why you are unwilling to leave Wireless and develop into movies. This is the most suitable route for you!"
He doesn't understand this. Liang Chaowei is indifferent by nature and doesn't like twists and turns. This may be known to the whole world. If nothing else, let's just say that in the 24th session, he achieved the miracle of being the five-time Best Actor. In this way, he
He just acted very blandly.
"I... I think everyone is very good at Wireless. At least it's very stable here!" Although Liang Chaowei and Xiao Ran have a good personal relationship, this official matter still has to be handled publicly: "Besides, you know my contract with Wireless...
"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but shook his head, Liang Chaowei really, it seems that he really needs to be with Liu Jialing before he can inspire his ambition: "You don't have much left in your contract with Wireless, as long as you are willing to stay silent for a year
, or let Phantom pay the liquidated damages directly, that’s fine too. I think you haven’t thought about it yet, Ah Wei, don’t hesitate as a person, and seize the opportunity when you encounter it.”
The conditions Xiao Ran offered to Liang Chaowei were definitely very attractive. The liquidated damages would be paid by Phantom. The price was only for three films, and the contract would be paid as promised. Such conditions would definitely not be different for Liu Hua when he was in hiding.
The reason for the promise.
But next to Xiao Ran was Liang Chaowei, which made Xiao Ran feel aggrieved. It was not because of this matter that made Xiao Ran aggrieved, but because of Liang Chaowei's attitude and personality. Liang's nature was to like peace and happiness.
, he is already highly valued in TVB. With such a good environment, it is difficult for him to pass the Phantom.
"How about this, Brother Ran, let me think about it!" Liang Chaowei is far from having that prodigal yet very mature taste, and looks like a very green apple.
Are you still considering it? Xiao Ran was really depressed. He had been thinking about this for several months. That’s all. Since Liang Chaowei doesn’t want to become famous, let him stay silent. It’s just a pity for such a good actor. He stood up regretfully,
Xiao Ran said: "You are at Wireless, and you are busy working every day. At Phantom, it is difficult to shoot several movies in one day. It is much easier. You can think about it yourself!"
Liang Chaowei suddenly felt moved when he heard Xiao Ran's last words. TVB is currently considering renewing his contract, and Liang Chaowei is also hesitant. Everyone in Hong Kong knows that working with Phantom is definitely a very good path. As long as you have talent, in Phantom
Everyone has a chance to get ahead, and of course he knows this.
He himself didn't know why he couldn't make a decision. In terms of money, of course he didn't earn a lot now, but it was enough to spend. However, who doesn't know that the Phantom Company in Hong Kong gives the best treatment in terms of treatment, Brother Fa?
The sky-high price of four million is no joke. When it comes to performance, there is enough room for the Phantom to display its abilities. Everyone in Hong Kong knows this.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Xiao Ran likes someone, they will be willing to come in even if they have sharp heads. Of course, to a large extent, this only refers to those who are not already very popular. Of course Liang Chaowei knows it, but he still does it
Can't decide.
But now his heart is moved, not for anything else, but because of Xiao Ran's easy words. He doesn't like too tiring work, and Phantom obviously fits this point. After hesitating, he remembered the rumors about Phantom Company and Xiao Ran. Inside the industry
There is a saying that Xiao Ran is very ambitious and determined to make Phantom bigger and be able to compete with Hollywood.
He thought that it might be time for him to make a decision. However, he really couldn't help but admire him. If it were anyone else who received Xiao Ran's favor, they would have followed suit in a hurry. But he also considered a few times.
Months later, I made the decision reluctantly. I really convinced him.
Of course, Xiao Ran was completely unaware of Liang Chaowei's psychological "struggle". He was now being held by Wang Jing, and beside him was the beautiful Miss Qiu. Wang Jing made Xiao Ran sit down with a smile on his face, and then said:
"Aran, why don't you want to release my film?"
"A Jing, you guy..." Xiao Ran was speechless. This was not because he was unwilling to release it, but because Wang Jing's films were quite rough and did not meet the requirements of Phantom at all. However, these early ones were pretty good, at least.
Photography equipment and the like are all rented from Thinking, and in terms of picture quality, they can still keep up with the Phantom.
Wang Jing is indeed very good at setting up the plot (i.e. plot). However, the script is often illogical. It doesn't matter, that's how farce films are. But Wang Jing participated in the production of the film in one year
The quantity gradually began to increase, and it was impossible for Xiao Ran to distribute them all.
"Your movie scenes are really good. If possible, I would like to get you on the screenwriting team of Phantom!" Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. Based on his current interpersonal relationship and status, he is not afraid of Wang Jing at all. It's just that Wang Jing is
His friend, it’s better to explain these things: “But, don’t you still know what’s wrong with you?”
Wang Jing was stunned, Qiu Shuzhen was also stunned, and Chen Baixiang was stunned. Wang Jing's film was actually good, and this was quite recognized. Xiao Ran's statement seemed to have no basis, so no wonder they were stunned.
Seeing that they didn't understand, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that maybe he could change Wang Jing's style. After pondering for a while, he said earnestly: "A Jing, your advantage is that you are flexible and ingenious, and you are quite good at designing bridge sections. Only
However, have you ever thought about the boutique effect?”
"You make so many films every year, even if you are a genius, you will definitely be out of pocket in ten years!" Xiao Ran thought for a moment silently, and then continued: "Do you know what the quality effect is? Look at the spy.
You should know the box office. Moreover, your attitude when creating is not sincere enough. You know, sometimes you need sincerity to impress people!"
Wang Jing shook his head. He was not very interested in this. However, he was really interested in the box office of the spy. Xiao Ran sighed in his heart, this person is really hopeless: "You might as well try every year
Only make two films, and put more effort into the lenses and scenes. I have always believed that the success of a film requires an all-round synthesis, not just a good script!"
This made Wang Jing's heart flutter. Xiao Ran felt that it was extremely unnecessary. Wang Jing had always been like this. What was the use of talking so much? He sighed and turned his eyes to Qiu Shuzhen, his sexy and beautiful darling, and glanced again
He glanced at Wang Jing: "Repeating yourself is destroying yourself. From the standpoint of a friend, I can only give you this sentence!"
While looking for Yang Qi, Yang Qi suddenly appeared in Xiao Ran's sight. The two of them greeted each other and patted each other on the shoulder with a smile. Xiao Ran couldn't help but joked: "This time it's the Phantom's world, you."
It must have been in vain!”
"It doesn't matter!" Yang Qi chuckled: "Tianluo was founded not long ago, and the primary purpose is to gain a foothold in the box office. I will come back to compete with you next year and see who is better!"
Xiao Ran resisted the urge to laugh. He liked Yang Qi like this. This was healthy competition and what he wanted. He made a gesture to Yang Qi, and Xiao Ran made a welcoming look: "You are welcome to challenge
Phantom!”
"You don't need me to challenge you now. Golden Harvest is planning to unseat Phantom and take back the title of Hong Kong's largest film company!" Seeing Xiao Ran looking at him in shock, Yang Qi shrugged and spread his hands: "Don't ask me, this
It’s just a rumor! Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are very dissatisfied with Jiahe’s performance this year, but don’t worry, they don’t dare to trick you.”
"It's what I wish for. Only with competition can we have fighting strength!" Xiao Ran sighed with emotion. He very much hoped that he could avoid internal strife in Hong Kong. After all, South Korea has imposed restrictions on foreign language films this year, and then opened certain restrictions on Korean films. It will be very difficult to
has the potential to become a challenge in the next decade.
"Combat power?" Yang Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a two-hundred-watt light bulb suddenly turned on. He smiled slyly, with a hint of meaning in his expression: "What a combat power, I think that rumor should
It’s not fake!”
Xiao Ran was startled for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that he had just been thinking about Hollywood and ended up using the powerful word "combat power". Unexpectedly, Yang Qi was very keen and immediately grasped the meaning behind it. He also smiled strangely,
No direct answer: "If you think it's true, then it is!"
"You kid..." Yang Qi punched Xiao Ran hard: "It seems that I need to get some funds quickly, otherwise I really won't be able to keep up with you!"
Xiao Ran smiled. If Yang Qi can really do it, it will really be in line with his wishes. Excluding Jiahe, in the future Phantom, Debao and the Three Musketeers of Tianluo will attack Hollywood together. What a spectacular situation it will be. It is really
Unimaginable.
After walking a few steps, he heard a hoarse and weird voice calling him from behind. Xiao Ran turned around and was shocked when he saw it was Zeng Zhiwei. He and Zeng Zhiwei had a very good relationship.
But what exactly does Zeng Zhiwei want to do with him now?
