After reading this, Xiao Ran revealed the answer and couldn't help but burst into joy. He shouted: "Let's look forward to the Best Actor at the 8th Academy Awards, which is also our second three tonight."
Successive championship...Zhou Runfa, "The Story of A Lang"."
At this moment, Fa Ge was stunned as if he was under a spell. Now he finally understood what Xiao Ran felt just now. This was a... a feeling that was so happy that his heart was about to explode, as if he was here
In an instant, I got the approval of the whole world, and got the same feeling all over the world.
Standing up, Fa Ge came to the stage while accepting congratulations from others. Xiao Ran was even happier than Fa Ge. If Fa Ge was only happy because of winning the award, then Xiao Ran was not only happy for this. He was also happy for
He indirectly manipulated history and manipulated the plan to put Fa Ge on the altar.
At this moment, he enjoyed it very much. He finally understood that not everything needs to be done personally, not all honors need to be received by himself. As long as he silently pushes behind, or rather controls, that feeling
That is what truly transcends everything. If you can experience what it's like to be an emperor, then you can experience what Xiao Ran feels like now, which is the feeling of controlling the power of life and death.
His self-confidence swelled, and he told himself that he could manipulate the results of the Academy Awards without anyone noticing. Then, he would definitely be able to manipulate Hong Kong movies and world movies. That is his ultimate goal!
When Xiao Ran was "narcissistic", Fa Ge was in a daze on the stage. He pondered for a moment and finally said with a smile: "When I heard about getting this award just now, I had an idea. I don't think I will do it in the future."
Let’s compete for this award again. Now that I think about it carefully, I suddenly realize that I am afraid that rising stars will surpass me.”
The audience was silently listening to Fa Ge's speech at the altar, while Xiao Ran was staring at this super actor who was destined to become a myth and smiled. Fa Ge suddenly laughed out loud: "Now that I think about what Xiao Ran said just now, I feel stupid.
, if it can make newcomers motivated, I think I am willing to lose a hundred times. I want to tell every actor that each of you has a chance to stand here and enjoy this honor, as long as you have hard work and a little luck!
"
Fa Ge's words were sonorous and powerful. The impact of the romantic things Xiao Ran had done before suddenly disappeared a lot. The whole audience burst into thunderous applause. Everyone respects Fa Ge and respects this person.
After all, they were all very impressed.
Regarding Fa Ge's speech, Xiao Ran simply didn't know what to say other than applauding him. He found that it was becoming easier and easier for Fa Ge to understand his intentions. With Fa Ge's words, there might be more
Many people hope to join the film industry, and those in the film industry will work harder.
This is a result that Xiao Ran is happy to see. He is always happy to do things that are beneficial to Hong Kong films. The last award is the best film. There is actually no suspense about this award. Everyone knows that this award is almost
One hundred percent fell into Phantom's hands.
As expected, this award was won by "Dark Flower". When he went on stage to receive the award, Xiao Ran only said one sentence: "Tonight's brilliance belongs only to Phantom Company. Let each of us celebrate this huge victory!"
Just this sentence made everyone standing in the Phantom camp shout loudly. Then there was the cocktail party. Now the Academy Awards have taken great care of Xiao Ran's special taste and specially gave Xiao Ran a drink from the list. By
This also seems to show the sudden change in Xiao Ran's status.
The three major companies were almost completely defeated this time. They only missed one Best Actress and gave it to Jiahe, barely regaining some face for this old film company. Yang Qi and Pan Disheng knew very well that, as Xiao Ran said, this night was only for
Phantom, any company will be defeated by Phantom.
After thinking deeply, Yang Qi and Pan Disheng both came to the conclusion that the current strength of the Phantom is irresistible, and its expansion trend is also unstoppable. They both know that maybe starting from tonight, the Phantom will sweep the world.
The future is coming.
Since they can't stop it, why not follow the trend? They remembered the rumors about Xiao Ran's ambition within the industry. If they had a glimmer of hope in defeating the Phantom News before, Phantom's victory tonight announced the advent of the Phantom Era, and the arrival of a king.
era.
Although it is very exaggerated and artistic to say this, Phantom is currently gradually gathering more than 40% of the production companies in Hong Kong with its super financial resources and creative power. This is an absolutely true data. When they learn that Xiao Ran likes to investigate, they will
After making decisions, they know everything based on data.
As of February 11, 1989, Phantom controlled at least 40% of the distribution of production companies in Hong Kong. In terms of market share, Phantom only had 37%. However,
At the box office, it is as high as nearly half, which means that the films released by Phantom account for nearly half of the box office in the local market.
In foreign markets, this data is only more terrifying. So far, except for Japan, which made Xiao Ran hatefully give up its plan to acquire theater chains due to the appreciation of the yen, South Korea's theater chains have all completed their plans before various restrictions were imposed.
. Almost all countries and regions in Southeast Asia have theaters for Phantom. The number of films accounts for 60% of the Hong Kong film market in other places, and the box office is as high as 80%.
With the strength of Phantom that has developed to this day, Yang Qi, Pan Disheng, and even Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are very clear that as long as Phantom does not make mistakes and continues to maintain its strong creative power, there will be absolutely no room for them to surpass.
Moreover, after everything that happened tonight, coupled with his daily behavior and attitude, Xiao Ran's charm in people's eyes has greatly increased. This is personality charm. With such an outstanding opponent, it is difficult for them to defeat them. They are businessmen
, knowing very well that waiting for their opponents to make mistakes is not a smart thing, so they can only calm down their jealousy and follow Xiao and then launch an attack on Hollywood.
If they don't have enough financial resources, they resort to loans and financing. With the development of Phantom as a model, at this moment, it seems that the top executives of the entire industry are full of confidence in competing with Hollywood, instead of the pessimism they had before.
If it were other people, they might consider other methods, such as finding someone to cause trouble in movie theaters and other less visible means to deal with the Phantom. However, what Xiao Ran can do, what he should do, and what he will do. They all know that Fang
Ruo Hai's tragic defeat is still vivid in his mind, and coupled with the death of Ghost Wang Dong, they are a profound warning to those who try to deal with Phantom or Xiao Ran.
Under such a situation, their choices have become very single, or rather they are unwilling to make other choices. Especially after seeing the rapid popularity of karaoke in high-consumption areas such as Japan and Taiwan in just six months.
After it became popular, they seemed to understand Xiao Ran's original intention of letting them invest in it.
The only one who refused to give up was Jiahe. Zou Wenhuai was very confused as to why Xiao Ran could rise so quickly in just a few years. In fact, this is easy to understand. Just like the rise of DreamWorks in history, it is easy for the film industry to create
In a place of miracles, it is not only directors and actors who can create miracles, but also film companies.
However, Xiao Ran was luckier than his classmate Lao Si. Where he was, people did not fully realize the importance of distribution. Therefore, Lao Si had no choice but to hand over the overseas distribution rights to the seven major companies, but Xiao Ran could
Distribute Phantom films to Southeast Asia.
The next day, the media in Hong Kong went crazy, using a variety of eye-catching headlines to attract readers' attention. The New Paper, a subsidiary of Shuxiang Media, was naturally the most enthusiastic, with the theme of "Phantom Wind Sweeping Hong Kong" as its title
The title and content naturally praise the head office fiercely and proudly.
Under normal circumstances, "The New Paper" would have been looked down upon by people. However, on this day, no one thought so, because many people were thinking that this might become the greatest edition of the Academy Awards.
Perhaps it is an exaggeration to say it is great, but many years later, everyone calls this class an unsurpassed one. Because the brilliance of the Phantom can still appear, but the episode where Xiao Ran proposed to Lin Qingxia
, it can definitely be called an unsurpassed session.
This was also the most glamorous Academy Awards, because on this night, the ratings of the ATV program reached 90%. According to the subsequent investigation, except for those who went to the cinema to watch the movie that day, other
Without exception, everyone is watching the Academy Awards.
Since then, there has been no higher ratings than this, even though the CEO of ATV, who has always been the top executive of Phantom, always complained that Xiao Ran did not tell him in advance that he was going to do this, otherwise the advertising fee for that night would have been sky-high.
Except for the New Paper, every newspaper, even important or unimportant newspapers in Southeast Asia, reported on the Academy Awards, calling the Phantom's victory a destined victory, and indirectly made an indelible contribution to the promotion of the Academy Awards and the Phantom.
Contribution. Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Ran to pay them advertising fees.
On the third day, "Power" magazine, also owned by Shuxiang, launched a special issue, with Xiao Ran on the cover and a picture of Xiao Ran proposing to Lin Qingxia on the back cover. On the cover, a fact that had become a fact was written in extremely conspicuous large characters: "The King is Coming
!”
One of the articles analyzed it with extremely precise judgment and cited numerous conclusive evidences to prove that Phantom Company is the well-deserved king of the Hong Kong film industry. And because of tonight's victory, Phantom has become the most influential company in Southeast Asia.
A powerful film company. Except for Phantom, no film company can shake this large and complex land.
This article’s analysis is absolutely correct. Hong Kong films have a very wide influence in Southeast Asia. At least 80% of the Korean films that will emerge in the future will plagiarize Hong Kong films. There is definitely no shortage of markets in Japan, and even
There are also a large number of die-hard fans. Therefore, historically Hong Kong films were at their absolute peak between 1987 and 1994. It is indeed a pity that we failed to make good use of this opportunity to sprint forward.
When Phantom appeared, it overpowered Hollywood in 1988. A "Spy" defeated so-called Hollywood blockbusters in countless countries and regions. Stimulated by this, more Hong Kong films once again emerged.
Loyal FANS. Therefore, in Southeast Asia, it is absolutely justified to say that except for Hollywood, other companies have no ability to shake Phantom's status.
In any case, Xiao Ran's goal has finally completed the first step - to dominate the Hong Kong film industry. And his second step still needs to work harder. However, we have every reason to believe that with the strength of Phantom, the ultimate goal
Maybe it won't be long.
That night, the celebration banquet prepared by Wei Dongling himself became a gathering place for celebrities and filmmakers in Hong Kong. All fourteen award winners were present, including Mei Yanfang, who won the award for Golden Harvest's "Rouge Button".
.
In the Regent Hotel that Xiao Ran liked, not the Regent Hotel where Linglingqi went, in the most gorgeously decorated hall, everyone was cheering for the Phantom's huge victory. This was simply impossible.
task, if the Academy Awards were not unwilling to give the award to the Phantom, which reduced this year to an out-and-out Phantom Academy Award, then Zhang Aijia would have won this award.
Even so, Xiao Ran knows, and the whole of Hong Kong knows, that the only winner of this event is the Phantom. This Academy Awards has achieved the glory of the Phantom. It will not only witness the love between Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, but also witness a
The true rise of a movie empire.
Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran were on a small stage that was temporarily built. Xiao Ran didn't want to say anything at first. However, everyone seemed to be fascinated by the profound meaning of Xiao Ran's words. They actually suggested that Xiao Ran go up and say a few words, and even shouted
Getting louder and louder.
So, Xiao Ran, Wei Dongling and Lin Qingxia all came on stage. Xiao Ran looked around and saw that the more than a hundred filmmakers and company employees, as well as the more than a hundred selected Friends of the Phantom who attended the celebration banquet, all fell silent.
Looking forward to Xiao Ran's words.
Scanning the dark crowd of heads in the audience, Xiao Ran felt a sore nose and said loudly: "I don't like tears and crying, but now I really want to cry happily. The Phantom finally achieved unprecedented success.
This is not the credit of you, me or him, but the credit of all of us.”
"Work always makes people tired, but after we are tired, we still have to work hard, because whether it is you, me or him, we all know..." Xiao Ran's tone rose: "We all know that Phantom's achievements will never end.
Today, whether we are working in front of or behind the scenes, or even the audience, each of us is building a movie empire with our own hands, a Phantom that continues to grow! You are the heroes of Phantom! You are also the heroes of Hong Kong movies!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran was so excited that his voice choked up. He turned around and stared at Wei Dongling. He didn't say anything, but just hugged each other fiercely. Sometimes men don't need to say anything. Wei Dongling can
I feel Xiao Ran’s gratitude. Without Wei Dongling, Phantom would be just a production company at best, not the distribution company it is today!
After letting go of his hand, the smile in Wei Dongling's eyes and the hazy look in his eyes showed that he was very excited. Including every Phantom employee in the audience, who was not excited for no reason. Some of them joined halfway, and some joined early.
However, everyone is worthy of pride and pride in being able to personally participate in making a humble small company what it is today.
There was a weird scene at the scene. Many Phantom employees were brought to tears by Xiao Ran's extremely sensational words. Not to mention them, even Xiao Ran, who had never cried since he grew up, almost cried.
A group of celebrities and behind-the-scenes workers were moved to high spirits by Xiao Ran's passionate words, and they remembered the seriousness and dedication they must have when filming. They always felt too tired before, but at this moment, they all felt all the hard work.
It's all worth it.
Those friends of the phantom were simply moved by Xiao Ran's words. It can be seen that Xiao Ran has really developed the ability to sensationalize. Although he did not deliberately sensationalize, but spoke completely from the bottom of his heart. But sometimes sincerity is the key.
Isn’t it right that something really moves people?
Xiao Ran put his hands around Lin Qingxia's waist and closed his eyes slightly to let the emotion linger a little longer. Then he looked quietly at the audience and said in a very emotional tone: "I am the luckiest in my life.
There are two things. The first is to be able to share the rest of our leisure time with Lin Qingxia. I am willing to share all my time with her except work."
People listened quietly to Xiao Ran's speech, which was now dull but revealed unquestionable sincerity. Xiao Ran's eyes intersected with the smiles in everyone's eyes, and he waved down with extremely powerful gestures to strengthen his tone: "And the other person
One of the luckiest things is that I can work with outstanding people like you and share the rest of my working life with you. The glory tonight belongs to you, and you are the greatest pride and pride in my life!
"
"Mr. Xiao, we are also proud of you. Only under the leadership of you and Mr. Wei can the company develop in a better direction. You are also our pride and pride, and we will continue to be able to work in Phantom in the future.
Work is the honor of a lifetime!" Everyone shouted in unison, as if they had been trained.
This is an extremely united company, isn't it? With their execution, and the leadership of Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, Phantom will eventually realize Xiao Ran's ideal...
