It seemed that there was no need to say anything more. Li Xingguo suddenly realized that he had taken such a long detour just to tell them that the production fee could not be saved. At this time, Wei Dongling smiled and walked to Xiao Ran's side again, and sat down and said:
"The actor's salary is the main expense. If it does not reach a certain proportion with the production fee, it means that it takes up the space of the production fee, and then a situation like Shaw Brothers will appear."
It was said so clearly that if others didn’t understand what it meant, they simply shouldn’t be alive. But Yang Qi still asked with doubts: “Why is the ratio of one to four? This will lose our profits!
"
Xiao Ran's eyes met Yang Qi's and he smiled softly: "Do you think movies must be a huge profit industry? This is because we have no competitors yet. If we don't reduce profits in advance to improve ourselves, why should we fight with Hollywood? Don't forget,
Big Hollywood productions have hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, can we get them?"
"One to four is a ratio we came up with after our investigation that is more in line with the current environment." Wei Dongling's smile was so hateful that Xiao Ran even wanted to put a stamp on his face: "If you like it, you might as well upgrade it to one
Compared to five, we absolutely don’t care!”
"I accept!" Pan Di gritted his teeth. Because he was an ally of Phantom, he was not too worried about the pressure from Xiao Ran. However, when he thought of the 80 million announced by Wei Dongling just now, he felt the aftershocks. If Debao doesn't
If we keep catching up, there will only be a market for Phantoms in the future.
"We all accept it!" Li Xingguo and the bosses of other companies nodded in agreement. After all, those who can sit here are not simple-minded: "Mr. Xiao, it's up to you!"
Yang Qi shrugged at Xiao Ran, and then spread his hands to express his helplessness. Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing because he imitated Xiao Ran's actions. Yang Qi's reason was the same as Pan Di's, but last year he had already tasted the sweetness of making movies for the first time.
I am determined to do a good job in Tianluo Company.
Zou Wenhuai was the only one who didn't express his position. Xiao Ran didn't look at him. He just waited for ten seconds and saw that Zou Wenhuai still didn't speak. Xiao Ran couldn't help but frowned. Did Jiahe have to confront him?
If this is the case, the plan that Xiao Ran formulated earlier will be useful. The land on the Ax Mountain Road studio in Jiahe's hands does not actually belong to Jiahe, but is rented from the British Hong Kong government. Historically, Jiahe declined because of
, and as a result, the land was taken back.
This land costs a lot of money, and the annual rent is by no means a small amount. Jiahe has also raised a lot of money from banks and Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation, and there is also a listed company. Although the debt is not high, it is not special to bring it down.
Difficult things.
It's just that Xiao Ran doesn't want to strangle a company that has great potential. However, if Jiahe really wants to test his patience, he thinks he will never be stingy with his iron fist. Yes, it is an iron fist. This is
Xiao Ran's strategy for ruling the Hong Kong film industry is to use iron-fisted means to conquer various companies and let the entire industry taste the benefits, and then he will unswervingly follow the footsteps of Phantom.
After waiting for a few seconds, Zou Wenhuai closed his eyes and said nothing. Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling looked at each other with interesting smiles. For others, this was obviously quite frightening.
It's okay for Jiahe, but Phantom can't afford to offend him.
Nodding to Wu Siyuan, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling stood up at the same time and announced for Chairman Wu Siyuan: "Today's meeting is over, everyone can go back. As for the few things discussed today, let's send
Talk to the people below!"
Zou Wenhuai suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the retreating figures of Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling hatefully. He even dismissed the meeting as if he didn't exist. This was a shame. He Guanchang sighed secretly. He couldn't blame Xiao Ran and Mr. Zou for this.
The husband himself didn't give Xiao Ran any face, so how could anyone else give him a good look?
Everyone in the circle knows that Xiao Ran is the kind of person who respects him a foot and he will give you a foot in return. At this rate, Jiahe will face off with Phantom sooner or later. But what will be the result of this confrontation? He Guanchang no longer dares to
Imagined it.
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling did not leave immediately, but waited for Pan Disheng and Yang Qi at the door. After inviting the two people into Wei Dongling's stretched Rolls-Royce, Xiao Ran took out a wine glass and a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and gave them to them.
He poured down and said with emotion: "Until today, the Film Association has really played a role!"
"Did you make a mistake? Treat me as if I don't exist!" Wei Dongling complained as he went to get a wine glass and poured some wine, enjoying it leisurely with his legs crossed. He liked this feeling.
But Xiao Ran didn't like this feeling. Although this car was given by Lin Qingxia, it really made him bleed. Yang Qi glanced at it in surprise and said: "A Dong, when did you buy such an expensive RV?
He is indeed worthy of being a high-ranking figure among the Diamond Kings."
Xiao Ran snorted coldly and poured himself a glass of water before complaining angrily: "Archie, you don't even know that you are not riding in a car now, but you are riding in banknotes, a lot of banknotes!"
Xiao Ran's expression that resembled that of a resentful woman was quite funny, and both of them couldn't help but laugh. Wei Dongling asked the driver to drive, and then he pretended to be surprised and said: "Don't you know, money is just for riding?"
Really? I have never seen a rich man who is as stingy with himself as you are, and he even only has one car!"
Speechless! Xiao Ran was extremely speechless. Theoretically speaking, Lin Qingxia had three cars, including his BMW, which was not one in total. But he obviously bought that one with his own money. No wonder he was loved by the car many times.
Wei Dongling of the clan mocked.
Pan Di smiled easily. He always felt that Xiao Ran was a very strange person. Sometimes he was so cheerful that it was unbelievable, and sometimes he was so gloomy. In terms of company affairs, they each did their own thing, but their personal relationship was quite good.
Yes, these are the rules of the game in shopping malls.
While laughing and scolding Wei Dongling, Xiao Ran suddenly said with a smile: "Have you ever thought about defeating Jiahe!"
Yang Qi and Pan Di were both shocked, and then secretly became wary. If Xiao Ran planned to use them to drive away Jiahe, then it would be absolutely easy to deal with them later. Xiao Ran smiled softly and cast his sincere gaze on the two of them.
In the eyes: "The existence of Golden Harvest has indirectly delayed the development of Hong Kong films. If we want to make a difference in the Western market in the future, the existence of Golden Harvest must be a threat."
Yang Qi and Pan Di fell silent. No matter how stupid they are, from Zou Wenhuai's performance today, it can be understood that Jiahe's dissatisfaction with Phantom has boiled over. If this is allowed to continue, it is really likely to drag down the development of Hong Kong films. It's just that
, they don’t want Xiao Ran to monopolize the Hong Kong film market.
"Tianluo Company's current market value is 1.2 billion, and Debao's current market value is 1.4 billion." Xiao Ran glanced at Wei Dongling, who was listening attentively, and then said calmly: "When do you want to get the opportunity to expand overseas?"
strength?"
Yang Qi and Pan Disheng both looked gloomy. A net worth of more than one billion would be great anywhere. But in the film industry, they are destined to not be able to do much. At this rate, if they want to expand overseas
, it’s really difficult to do it within three to five years.
"I don't want to drive away Jiahe, but I want it to be unable to hold us back in the future. I don't want any internal problems to occur by then." Xiao Ran's eyes were suddenly as sharp as a blade: "If you want to gain overseas markets, you must
You have to take some risks.”
Does Xiao Ran need these two helpers to deal with Jiahe? Of course not. However, the two of them are his allies and friends. If he does it without greeting him in advance, I am afraid it will damage the future cooperative relationship. Besides, Xiao Ran has no plans yet.
What do you really think about Jiahe? Firstly, Jiahe is declining now, secondly, he has no good excuse, and thirdly, he doesn't want to have any conflict with Cheng Long and the others because of this.
Yang Qi and Pan Disheng were obviously aware of this, and soon they smiled bitterly. Do you still need to tell them what Xiao Ran did? However, the shadow of Phantom's monopoly on the market still hangs over their hearts. After all, Phantom is currently too powerful.
.
"I know you are worried about Phantom, but you should know that my ambition is not to monopolize, but to let Chinese films dominate the world." Xiao Ran sighed softly, why no one always believed him when he told the truth!
"What A Ran said is that with Phantom's current strength and no debt, a semi-monopoly structure will inevitably emerge!" Wei Dongling explained for Xiao Ran: "It's just that Phantom is definitely the first group, and we
We all hope that Debao and Tianluo can become the second group. This requires the formation of a ladder-like relay, so that we can firmly control the transition of the film industry in the direction we need!"
"Actually..." Yang Qi couldn't help but shook his head. He agreed with Wei Dongling's statement. It is indeed difficult for them to surpass Phantom. Phantom's liquidity alone is more than the market value of their company. There is no comparison. And Phantom has both
There is no financing, and the loan has been paid off, so there is no fear of being attacked. Simply put, it is extremely difficult to damage the foundation of Phantom.
Because Phantom's industry is fragmented, it is extremely difficult to defeat it in one fell swoop if it forms a core business focused on movies and investment. Moreover, Phantom doesn't even have a listed company, so even if it wants to acquire it, it will be difficult. Strictly speaking, Li Chaoren will come.
Dealing with this kind of tortoise-shell enterprise personally may not hurt its vitality.
"Actually, Phantom's family fortune is too big now, as you all know. It's hard for us to feel relieved!" Yang Qi publicly announced his concerns very frankly: "You all know it well.
, as long as you are willing, it is not difficult to force us out!"
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling were stunned. In fact, they did have such a plan. Of course, it was just a plan. Xiao Ran once investigated the strength of all Hong Kong film companies, and then gave a very targeted plan to eliminate them.
To avoid being in a hurry when the time comes, Debao and Tianluo are certainly no exception.
This is also the reason why Xiao Ran thinks that Jiahe is vulnerable, because Phantom is ready to accept a battle at any time. Although Yang Qi doesn't know about this plan, Xiao and Wei can't help but feel a little embarrassed if they just say it like this.
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, pointing at Yang Qi and saying: "You all know that it is easy for Phantom to force you out, so now that you are still fine, this may prove that I have no ill intentions towards you.
Bar!"
Pan Disheng thought. Indeed, if Xiao Ran wanted to monopolize Hong Kong, he could have done it last year. There was no need to let them go. But Yang Qi was too suspicious, so he said nonchalantly: "Who knows what you want to do, maybe
You may not know what benefits you will get from us!”
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling immediately felt dumbfounded, and subconsciously shrugged and spread their hands: "I said, I am aiming for the world. If you don't believe me, then there is nothing I can do!"
There is really no way? That's nonsense. If Yang Qi and Pan Disheng really want to hold back him, he will definitely drive out the two companies as soon as possible and support other companies. Don't think that Xiao Ran has no plan, Meiya is
A company worth supporting.
"I've said so much, it's hard for you." Yang Qi suddenly smiled slyly, shaking the wine in his glass: "Why don't I believe you, Lao Pan, why don't you believe him?"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Qi and Pan Disheng were still very good at business. Otherwise, how would their family business be today? If he destroyed two powerful allies like this, Xiao Ran would definitely feel regretful.
Pan Di laughed. He had always been vigilant and cooperative with Phantom. Of course, with Xiao Ran, he treated her as a friend. However, he wanted to understand Xiao Ran's compulsory ratio of industry actors' remuneration to production fees.
The real purpose is to indirectly increase the average production fee in the industry!
He came up with this after he contacted the rising wages. Based on a very simple principle, actors' wages will definitely not be able to keep down. Coupled with Xiao Ran's compulsory conditions, this means that in the next year, one movie will be released.
The average production cost of a film will be as high as more than 10 million to 20 million.
At the same time, Phantom is constantly refreshing the remuneration market in the industry. Now the director with the highest net worth has reached 1.2 million, breaking the previous record again. This means that Xiao Ran controls all productions in Hong Kong.
and investment level. Coupled with the actors and staff who are keen on Phantom, we have to admit that Phantom already has all the conditions for a monopoly.
