July 13, 1990, it was a calm night, but behind the calm there was a storm brewing. Who can win the contest between two extremes and the storm? I am afraid that even God may not be able to give an exact answer, at least.
No one knows until the results come out.
Xiao Ran was lying on the bed, feeling Lin Qingxia's warm coquettishness, but he couldn't fall asleep. Even he didn't know what he was thinking. Sometimes he thought about the money he saved for breakfast when he was a teenager, so he would put on his schoolbag in the afternoon and go straight to sleep.
Go to the video studio, maybe at night sometimes.
If it was in the afternoon, there must be a fatally attractive movie playing, or there was not enough money. If it was in the evening, the ticket price would be a bit more expensive, but he was still willing to go at night, because occasionally there would be some movies that men liked in the evening.
It was at this time that he learned about the four famous actresses such as Ye Yuqing, Ye Zimei and Weng Hong. Compared with the later third-level actresses Yan Xianwen and Lin Yashi, who was born in Yajie, he always felt that before
The four major ones are exciting and interesting.
Now he obviously has no interest in Category III films, although there is a film company under Phantom that specializes in producing Category III films, and has also built a theater chain specifically to show Category III films, imitating North America, so as not to waste the quota. And Ye Yuqing and Ye Zizi
Meidu was filming under this company, but he still had no interest.
Of course he is not interested. Next to Xiao Ran lies a very charming and beautiful woman. With her, Xiao Ran feels as if he has lost any interest in other women. Sometimes love can really make a person change a lot.
, he used to read YY novels
I occasionally fantasize about how many women I will have in the future, but that is obviously unrealistic. For a person who is in love, his or her heart cannot tolerate other people. Not everyone is like this, but some people must be like this.
, and Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia are such people.
He thought of the past in his "dream", when he was only about 20 years old, and he made an appointment with a friend to travel to Huangshan Mountain. However, the friend never had time to go. In the end, Xiao Ran couldn't bear it anymore and went to Huangshan Mountain alone.
.There, he felt the charm of nature and began to wander around like a vagabond, just to enjoy the beautiful scenery everywhere.
Thinking about how at first I was still a little timid when I was on the road alone, but gradually I became more and more courageous, and I was not afraid of facing robbers alone. Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth gradually formed an elegant arc.
Perhaps it was at that time that he tempered himself so that he could gain a foothold in this era, so that he could rely on his own methods to wipe out the underworld and eliminate the biggest pests. Xiao Ran gradually thought that it was just the countless movies he had enjoyed in the past and the occasional articles in newspapers.
It was something he saw in a magazine that got him where he is today.
Xiao Ran once had a friend who worked in TV dramas and was also the disciple of Wei Jiahui. It was that friend who taught him how to write scripts. Perhaps this was the basis for him to survive in this world, and it was also his first step.
.
He misses even more his friends on the "Made in Hong Kong" forum, who are the real masters of Hong Kong films. He even thinks that if it were any of them, they would probably be able to do ten times better than himself.
What am I doing? Xiao Ran smiled and thought, am I old? So old that I need to rely on memory to make up for the psychological gap? Maybe he is a little old, at least as far as his mental age is concerned. Moreover, he is in
The market cannot help but become extremely mature. Benefits are the most moving, but they are also the most motivating.
Tomorrow is the test screening of "Terminator 2", no, it is the test screening of "Mechanical Warrior". This means that after the test screening, the war between Phantom and Hong Guo has begun, and it also means the battle between Xiao Ran and Mo Huaien
here we go.
It's not that Xiao Ran couldn't sleep because of this. Sometimes people always have insomnia for no reason. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It may also help people think of things they normally wouldn't think of. For Xiao Ran, tomorrow is the most important battle. Can the Liquid Metal Man
Conquering the citizens of Hong Kong and even the whole world remains to be seen tomorrow.
Mo Huaien! Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile slightly when he thought of this name. This person was completely unworthy of being his opponent. He was just a fool who thought he was smart. It doesn't matter if he is stupid, but never think that he is smart. Or maybe
It doesn't matter if you are smart, don't think you are stupid.
Among Xiao Ran's opponents, the one who is very similar to him in both personality and methods, and who is also the most threatening, is Fang Ruohai. Fang Ruohai, like Xiao Ran, does not like to use the power of the underworld, and both have adventurous and cautious personalities.
They like to use strategies, and this is the beauty brought by brainstorming.
It's a pity that Fang Ruohai finally fell. He was wrong from the beginning to the end. He shouldn't have had a decisive battle with Xiao Ran in the film industry. It used to be Xiao Ran's domain, it is now, and it will be the same in the future. Xiao Ran is trying to catch
By overcoming this flaw, we successfully completed the first and most critical step in the rise of the Phantom.
Sometimes, Xiao Ran really misses Fang Ruohai. He is a good opponent. Fighting with a good opponent can arouse the interest of both parties, just like Liu Qingyun and Liu Hua in "Dark War". To a certain extent
, this will evolve into mutual sympathy.
Xiao Ran believed that Fang Ruohai could make a comeback, but he also knew that he and Fang Ruohai would never see each other again. He was destined to lose this excellent opponent, but he didn't need to worry. There were still people in Hollywood or
Better opponents are waiting for him.
"What are you thinking about? Is it the fight with Hongguo?" Lin Qingxia was asleep at first, but was awakened by Xiao Ran's turning over. She rubbed her eyes in a hazy state and turned on the light and asked with concern: "I am almost ten years old now.
It’s two o’clock…”
After making a slight shuddering sound, Xiao Ran leaned on the bed and looked at Lin Qingxia tenderly and smiled: "Qingxia, who do you think will lose in the battle between me and Mo Huaien?"
"I believe in you, that's why I chose you, isn't it?" Lin Qingxia stared at Xiao Ran tenderly, and then said funny: "Besides, you and A Dong have always been hiding something from me. I believe it must be about this.
of!"
"Amazing, female Zhuge!" Xiao Ran teased and gave a thumbs up gesture: "However, I can't mention it to you for the time being. Only A Dong and I know the complete plan."
Lin Qingxia smiled lightly, her eyes and face full of smiles. She knew that Xiao Ran was very thoughtful and deep in this aspect, otherwise why would she have tolerated Fang Ruohai for half a year: "But
, don’t let Mo Huaien go this time, he is not Fang Ruohai, and he is definitely not as open-minded as you think!"
"Qingxia, you..." Xiao Ran was immediately surprised, staring at this face that fascinated countless people: "When did you become so..."
"Do you want to say cruel?" Lin Qingxia couldn't help laughing. Xiao Ran suddenly felt that the laughter was familiar, but Lin Qingxia's finger tapped her: "Because of you, you influenced me. Besides,
I don’t think you’re going to kill him! What I mean is, don’t give him any chance to make a comeback, lest he do bad things in the future!”
Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing. At this moment, Lin Qingxia didn't feel like the weak and easily injured woman before, but a strong and magnanimous woman. He couldn't blame Lin Qingxia for her recent success in business.
After giving some relatively good suggestions, my personality gradually changed.
"Why are you laughing..." Lin Qingxia glared at Xiao Ran angrily, leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "I know that based on your personality, you will not give anyone like Mo Huaien any chance, but speaking of him,
In fact, he pestered me and almost forced my father to go bankrupt. Other than that, there really wasn’t anything wrong with him. But when you think about it, maybe it’s a little bit bad.”
Xiao Ran smiled endlessly. It seemed that Lin Qingxia had not turned her gentleness into determination, but had turned her weakness into strength. He knew that behind this strength was because of himself. He gently stroked her soft
Xiao Ran didn't agree with Lin Qingxia's view.
Man is the strangest animal in the world. Just like himself, he can treat everyone as a friend on weekdays. But when dealing with opponents, he can be as ruthless as when he dealt with the three major societies. Therefore, he will always be
I don’t know what will happen to Mo Huaien after his failure, and judging from Mo Huaien’s very realist character, the most likely thing is that he will go to extremes.
However, he did not refute his wife. He was very happy that Lin Qingxia had changed like this. He definitely didn't want her to be so weak all day long, as she would be easily injured. It would be best to be stronger.
On the evening of July 14th, in the Longtou Theater of the Film Theater, Xiao Ran entered the theater with Wei Dongling this time instead of with the crew. Both Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling needed to watch the film before they could make the right decision.
decision.
The two of them looked very interesting. They were both wearing sunglasses and makeup for fear of being recognized. Especially Xiao Ran, a frequent guest on magazine covers and the star of the world-famous "The Love of Ghosts", was even more easily recognized.
come out.
The theater is very well built, with simple and bright environment layout and spacious but not lonely design, which makes the leading theater of the movie theater chain appear grand. Xiao Ran glanced at the promotional posters and exquisitely produced posters, and couldn't help but wonder.
It is with emotion that everything in Yip Jinhong's "Yi Lu Cane" is full of nostalgia. The theater posters are designed and drawn by hand, and even professional painters are hired to draw them.
Now, Phantom's posters are all designed by trained professional poster designers, and computers are involved in the production. Compared with other companies, they look much more beautiful and professional. This may also be the reason why posters are the most popular in the industry all over the world.
One of the reasons why it is easy to sell.
Since the Film Theater is the leading theater in the film theater chain, it naturally occupies a huge area. This is nothing to worry about. The Film Theater has the largest area in Hong Kong and is the only theater with a high number of sixteen screening rooms, with a total of four
There are more than a thousand seats. We have to admit that watching a movie in a movie theater is definitely the ultimate enjoyment.
Although this theater is very large and has a lot of space, it is still crowded with people who want to enter the theater this night. Xiao Ran still hopes to feel like this. As he glances around, there are at least dozens of people everywhere he can see.
There are hundreds of spectators, and countless spectators are willing to come all the way here to enjoy it.
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling looked at each other in tacit understanding, with relief in their eyes. Bai Wenjing's marketing skills were getting better and better. He contacted other companies and took advantage of this opportunity to sell advertisements to each other.
.
I went into the cinema and watched a few advertisements. These are quite expensive advertisements. Just a 30-second advertisement costs millions, and that’s just for local advertisements. Advertisements for overseas advertisements
, then it needs to be calculated separately.
The film "RoboWarrior" currently being screened is expected to earn a return of more than 10 million in advertising revenue alone. If the advertising hidden in the film content is also included, the Phantom itself has only invested in
About 40 million. Among them, Li Chaoren's Cheung Hutchison Department has a considerable number.
Don't look back on it. It will be easy and common for Hollywood to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on production more than ten years later. But before the special effects have fully evolved, a Hollywood movie with an investment of 40 to 50 million US dollars is already a blockbuster. And Phantom Company is now investing
The biggest thing is that the film in front of me costs 80 million Hong Kong dollars, but there is still a certain gap in production costs.
The distance in money does not mean the distance in quality. This is determined by various aspects. At least, Xiao Ran bets that the film in front of him only means that the hard technical strength of the film has reached or even surpassed the North American level. Of course, like
Soft skills like artistic creativity are not as easy to measure as hard skills.
After the advertisement, the words "2B" appeared, which made Xiao Ran sneer. In fact, this film is definitely not qualified to be classified as level one, but in the second level, it is not easy to define whether it is A or B.
If we look at it in terms of sex and violence, this film is actually not rated B, and one of the protagonists in this film is still a teenager. However, it was still classified as B, while Hongguo's was classified as A.
.In this way, Hongguo's films can reach a wider audience, which will definitely be beneficial to the box office.
