Xiao Ran chuckled lightly, if all this was not his plan, then all this would definitely be a fatal blow. If he is a rational film company boss, and has analyzed all this, and does not have enough power, then his final decision
A good choice is to evacuate Hong Kong immediately and go to Hollywood to make movies.
However, he is not. Even if he is not a gangster, he is still one of the most influential rich men in Hong Kong. It is impossible to make Chinese-language films in Taiwan, let alone in the Mainland. The current Mainland does not belong to him at all.
It doesn't belong to him. Hong Kong is definitely a city that is blessed by nature, not only in terms of finance, but also in terms of movies.
How to cut off the mastermind behind the British Hong Kong government? This is what Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling are considering. After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Ran finally gritted his teeth and decided: "Treat the whole thing coldly and treat it as if it never happened!"
It requires patience, and what Xiao Ran does not lack is patience. He could tolerate Fang Ruohai for half a year, but he can do better now.
Liu Hua, Liang Chaowei, Feng Fei'er, Wang Zuxian, etc., these are all the work of Phantom, which took time, effort and a lot of money to win. It fell into the hands of Mo Huaien, which should have been happy.
But it made his head spin and his hair turned a few gray. This absolutely unreasonable thing happened, but he didn't guess that Xiao Ran had any conspiracy - the movie producer's contract was in Mo Huaien's hands.
Even if Fa Ge and the others were all undercover, it would be meaningless.
While he and Wei Dongling were talking about the specific operation, a call came from the United States. It was from the person in charge of Light and Magic. He told Xiao Ran a very unfortunate news - half of the technical staff of Light and Magic had resigned, and
At the same time, Lucas founded another computer effects company called Vision.
Finally it's here! This was Xiao Ran's only thought, and he sighed softly. The treatment he gave to the technical staff of Light and Magic was already excellent, but in the end he couldn't match the charm of Lucas, the former boss.
.
Lucas, Lucas! Xiao Ran told Wei Dongling the news, and Wei Dongling was immediately stunned. It's hard to describe how Wei Dongling felt. At least he had seen the level of computer special effects that was absolutely leading the world, and he really thought that there was a lot of potential.
Originally, he was still wondering why Xiao Ran wanted to acquire Light and Magic and Pixar. After all, Phantom already had a special effects team and an animation team. However, when he saw Xiao Ran gradually bringing talents that Light and Magic was willing to come to Hong Kong, he realized
, these are also top experts, some even better than Phantom's original technicians.
The reason why Phantom was able to make a liquid metal man in the first place was not because he completely surpassed Light and Magic in technology, but because Xiao Ran gave a correct and specific technical research direction. Light and Magic did not, so it fell behind in this regard.
But this does not mean that the technology of Light and Magic is inferior to that of the Phantom. Before the Phantom got the people from Light and Magic, the technology was indeed inferior. After all, Light and Magic has accumulated many years of experience, and the Phantom's special effects team experimented
Although Shi Shi has networked with the world's top experts, he is a bit younger after all.
However, after acquiring some of the people from Light and Magic, this team quickly got together. Light and Magic originally thought they were the best in the world, but when they saw the liquid metal man made by Phantom, they had to admire them.
. And then I learned that Phantom has invested billions in this in just two or three years and is still continuing to maintain a high level of income for technical staff. I feel that this is an excellent working environment.
, thus leaving those talented people behind.
Don’t think of Light and Magic as a myth. Before they made Liquid Metal Man in 1991, Light and Magic were very poor and were not as high as the market value of Skywalker. Of course, it would be difficult to spend much money for special effects. This is
The advantage of Phantom is that tens of billions can be invested in special effects in two or three years. Lucas can't even keep up with this. With the experience of Light and Magic, the current special effects team can completely
Competing with Light and Magic, whether in terms of strength or other aspects.
The whole world knows that Lucas is obsessed with film technology, and Xiao Ran is certainly no exception. As early as when he acquired Light and Magic, he had considered killing all of Lucas to prevent the people from Light and Magic from being taken away, because
He knew very well that Lucas took the 300 million US dollars, which was enough to make a comeback.
It's a pity that he was not vicious enough in the end, so Lucas happily took 300 million US dollars to try something else. Now that he is done trying, and he turns back to do special effects, it will be Xiao Ran's turn to have a headache. It seems that sometimes losing
Neither winning nor winning is superficial.
This bunch of things are all packed together, what a heck! Xiao Ran didn’t explain anything, he just told the person in charge that Lucas must be invited to Hong Kong, and he wanted to see classmate Lu. After handling this matter for the time being, it is likely to cause
Regarding the two special effects heroes coexisting in the future, Xiao Ran continued to think about how to solve the current situation.
With the support of the British Hong Kong government, Hong Kong will definitely be able to stand its ground. Now it is too brainless to talk about forcing Hong Kong to death. At the moment, it seems that the only way is to waste away, just like before the decisive battle with
Haile's dry consumption is the same, which makes Mo Huaien suspicious.
Unless Xiao Ran is willing to buy Honglian at a high price, then Mo Huaien must agree. Just kidding, he is doing it to make money, why not agree. Besides, if they sell to Xiao Ran, they can use the money to build a bigger film company, then
Wouldn't it be better?
Of course, neither Xiao Ran nor Wei Dongling would be so stupid. Or follow the previous method of dealing with Toei and acquire Guoli. This seems to be a good method on the surface. The market value of Guoli's various industries is only about 10 billion.
, with Phantom's huge cash reserves, it is enough.
However, doesn’t this mean giving money to others? If the national profit is gone, we can still invest in the establishment of the country and Thailand, but we can’t touch it at all. It’s not like what we did with Jiahe before, where Zou Wenhuai was completely defeated in that battle.
, and Xiao Ran also got Dongying, which is worth it. Besides, Xiao Ran wants to make money in the national interest, not lose money.
As a result, Xiao Ran and Phantom were forced to go on a road with only one choice, and they had no choice but to confront Honglian. At least, on the surface, it seemed that Hongguo already had the strength to compete with Phantom in the local market. If it can suppress the situation throughout the year,
With the movie "The Phantom", it will not be a problem to enter Southeast Asia.
But, is this possible? How can a layman who enters the market in such a hurry master the artistic and commercial points as proficiently as Xiao Ran! The consequences of rushing into the market are most likely to make money in a hurry, and make quick money in a rush.
This is something Xiao Ran absolutely does not want to see, and he definitely does not want the Hong Kong film empire he has worked so hard to build to collapse.
What is really fortunate is that Hongguo is now more like a production company than a distribution company. Its distribution agent only controls South Korea, so it is difficult to make greater profits. And the production companies and distribution companies in Hong Kong are even more
They are completely on the side of Phantom. To put it simply, if Hongguo wants to distribute its own films, it must either use foreign film companies or the other four giants.
However, maybe you and I both feel why Xiao Ran did not accept the proposal of the three major companies to join forces to expel Hong Guo. This is definitely feasible. Xiao Ran has only one seemingly valid answer to this: Hong Guo is backed by the British Hong Kong government!
At noon, Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong both came in a hurry to have lunch in a restaurant. Lin Qingxia didn't want to eat anything now, she just gently poked the steak with the knife and fork, looking at it worriedly.
Xiang Xiaoran: "Hua Zai and Wei Zai have gone to Hongguo. Are you not angry at all?"
Zhong Chuhong also couldn't eat. The reason why she hurried over was simply because she was afraid that Xiao Ran would feel uncomfortable after hearing the news. When Xiao Ran said nothing about this, Wei Dongling raised his hand to take a picture. He remembered that he was in a restaurant.
He stopped the car suddenly, anger welling up on his face: "These guys don't even think about how much money the company spent to make them famous." Xiao Ran kept snickering, and he realized that Wei Dongling might be an actor.
Zhong Chuhong understands Wei Dongling's words very well. She is very clear about Phantom's starlight plan. Let's not mention filming and the like. Phantom still has a certain return, but it is almost completely invested in advertising. Star agents
This year, in order to cooperate with the head office in promoting Miao Liyun who starred in "Terminator 2", the company even paid for advertising.
Therefore, it is obviously understandable that Hua Zai, Wei Zai and Feng Fei'er betrayed the Phantom, which made Wei Dongling so angry that his neck turned red with anger. What's strange is that Xiao Ran acted as if nothing had happened.
It didn't happen at all, or it had no impact on Phantom at all.
"There's nothing to be angry about. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places!" Xiao Ran smiled lightly, looking relaxed and calm.
Lin Qingxia glanced at Xiao Ran in confusion. She knew Xiao Ran. It would not be a problem for Xiao Ran to act relaxed in front of outsiders. But in front of these close people, if Xiao Ran had something uncomfortable in his heart, it would always be very uncomfortable.
It's hard to hide it, such is his character.
Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Ran had such a look in front of her, it would prove that nothing happened. However, Lin Qingxia never believed that this time Hongguo's large-scale signing really had no impact on Xiao Ran at all, and she felt that Xiao Ran and
Wei Dongling seemed to be hiding something from her.
While she was thinking, Xiao Ran's hand placed under the table held her hand and squeezed it gently, but said nothing. Lin Qingxia was stunned for a moment, and then she was sure that Xiao Ran was definitely hiding something from her. This
At this time, Zhong Chuhong stared at Xiao Ran's slightly dark face, with worry in his eyes: "But if this happens, there will be no one in the company!"
"What's the point? There are still a large number of newcomers in Star Company who can try!" Xiao Ran pretended to smile. This was indeed the only choice he had: "Don't worry, this won't be a problem for us! By the way, Hong Gu, you and
When will Jiading get married?"
"Get married?" Zhong Chuhong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I have no plans yet, and I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry!"
"Of course it's urgent, I have prepared a villa as a wedding gift for you!" Xiao Ran made a joke, although this joke seemed so forced to Hong Gu: "If I don't give it to you while the property prices are rising,
, I will suffer a big loss by then!”
Watching Zhong Chuhong leave, the happy expressions on Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling's faces gradually disappeared, replaced by heavy looks. After returning to the office, Lin Qingxia hurriedly asked: "What happened? Are you hiding something?"
I?"
"It's really okay!" Xiao Ran glanced at her, and Wei Dongling immediately pushed the door open quietly with understanding, and then closed the door smoothly. Xiao Ran then gently half-hugged his wife and came to the window and stared quietly below: "Something happened.
, you’d better not know!”
Lin Qingxia was slightly startled. She seemed to understand what Xiao Ran wanted to do. She sighed softly and leaned on Xiao Ran's shoulder: "The Hong Kingdom is coming so fiercely, can you really handle it? What on earth is Mo Huaien thinking? He
Aren’t you in the real estate business?”
"He, I think he came here for you. He is very obsessed with you. It is said that he is still not married in his thirties because he just wants to marry you." Xiao Ran smiled softly, thinking that women are still easy to deal with.
, and immediately cleverly changed the topic: "It's a pity that I was the first to get posted!"
"Don't be kidding. You said that Mo Huaien is very realistic and cautious. What are you going to do?" Lin Qingxia patted Xiao Ran's dishonest hand and asked softly.
"This..." Xiao Ran pondered for a long time. The most important talents and funds for making a movie, and Hongguo has both of them, this doesn't seem to be easy to do: "Put it there first, and then come back when I have my hands free."
Cook it."
What kind of solution is this? Lin Qingxia then thought about it. The core of Phantom's business is of course movies, but if the movie business really gets into trouble, the impact on Phantom will not be particularly big. Thinking of this, she feels a little more at ease. This is
One of the benefits of industrial decentralization.
The next day, the artists who defected to Hongguo all planned to come to see Xiao Ran in person, hoping to explain to Xiao Ran. However, Xiao Ran did not see these "traitors". On the third day, Lucas came and sent someone to pick him up.
After arranging a hotel for him to stay, Xiao Ran met him in the office.
Lucas was a little fatter than when they first met, presumably because he was very happy with hundreds of millions of dollars during this period. He was deeply confused that Xiao Ran invited him, and what bothered him even more was
Uneasy and a little afraid. When he heard that Xiao Ran wanted to see him, he almost subconsciously refused, and then he realized how afraid he was of this Eastern devil.
After thinking about it carefully, he still came, even though he had no reason. However, he thought that Xiao Ran would not let him go in vain. This oriental devil would give him the best material enjoyment, but meeting Xiao Ran
It is a kind of psychological and spiritual torture.
After taking a look at the devil in his mind, this devil looked a little thinner than last time, but he was still very energetic, especially the smile in his eyes, which made people feel friendly. However, Student Lu was still
Quite afraid of this.
"George, I heard that you are planning to start a new computer special effects company?" Xiao Ran did not take a strong stance this time. Any attitude is useful. The key is to use it skillfully: "Are there any difficulties?"
"Mr. Xiao, I think with 300 million US dollars, there will be no difficulties in this world!" Faced with such a smile, Lucas relaxed a lot of vigilance, and he was even able to retort: "And now you have
With a net worth of several billion dollars, I’m afraid I want to buy the entire earth!”
