In desperation, Xiao Ran didn't even think about anything. He twisted his body with all his strength and blocked Lin Qingxia's body with his body. Bang bang! Two crisp gunshots sounded almost at the same time at this moment. Xiao Ran only felt that his arms
Suddenly there was a burning sensation, followed by severe pain.
Mo Huaien's left wrist was shot, and a stream of blood spurted out. His whole body couldn't help but kneel on the scarlet carpet. The madness in his eyes had completely subsided at this moment. He knew that he had no way out. As early as
From the moment she kidnapped Lin Qingxia, she was destined to have no way out.
Lin Qingxia didn't know why Xiao Ran wanted to turn around. When a gunshot was heard from behind, she understood Xiao Ran's intention. Tears rushed out desperately. She quickly turned around with a crying sound and looked at Xiao Ran's tired face, and found that
Xiao Ran, whose heart was beating like a drum, was fine. He was so excited that he started crying.
"Don't cry. If you cry again, you'll become a tabby cat!" Xiao Ran glanced at Mo Huaien, who was kneeling on the ground as if to atone for his sins. After making sure that there was no danger, he panted heavily and tried to pull Lin Qingxia away. Suddenly, he heard Mo Huaien.
Wynn's voice was filled with a sense of failure: "Xiao Ran, can I talk to you?"
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia paused for a moment, then turned around and stared at Mo Huaien, who was kneeling on the ground dejectedly. Mo Huaien raised his head and said in a low voice: "I can no longer threaten you. When the police rush in,
Let’s talk beforehand, okay? I have a lot of questions I want to ask you.”
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia looked at each other, both looking at Mo Huaien with anger and sympathy. Mo Huaien is a very tragic person, he has a very extreme character, he is very realist, but he is also very romantic at the same time.
.In this way, people are often prone to self-isolation and ignore other people's thoughts.
He really likes Lin Qingxia, but jealousy is the easiest thing to make people lose their mind. He subconsciously regards Xiao Ran as a dragon in love, or a respectable opponent in the mall. However, fairy tales are destined to be just fairy tales.
.
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia sat down on the sofa, quietly looking at Mo Huaien who was struggling to stand up, calming down the emotions caused by the chaos and crisis just now: "Whatever you want to ask, I will definitely give it to you.
The answer!”
"I lost, but I want to understand where I lost!" Mo Huaien has never looked at Lin Qingxia so honestly as he is now. Maybe he will become a lot calmer when he is about to die: "I don't want to be unclear.
Die in vain!"
"Your injury is not serious. As long as you go out now, you will be fine!" Xiao Ran felt the pain on his arm and couldn't help but twitched slightly on his face. Lin Qingxia quickly tore off a piece of cloth to bandage: "Actually, I started from scratch.
I never thought about wanting you to die!"
"I know, and I believe you!" Mo Huaien felt very strange. Before, he must have thought Xiao Ran was extremely hypocritical. But now he seemed to have gained enlightenment. He knew that Xiao Ran did not intend to kill him.
Otherwise, with just one sentence, the killer from the underworld alone would be enough to kill him a hundred times.
Realizing this, he realized that Xiao Ran was not the despicable person he thought before. Otherwise, Xiao Ran could have let the underworld people create a little trouble for Hongguo, and there would be absolutely no problem.
"Thank you for your trust, please ask if you have any questions!" Looking at Xiao Ran who was talking to Mo Huaien politely, Lin Qingxia understood a little. There has always been something called sympathy between men, but because of some people's
His personality was concealed.
"I know Zhou Runfa and the others were sent to Hongguo by you, but I can't figure out how you knew I wanted to poach them!" Mo Huaien leaned on the sofa and breathed heavily. In this fight with Xiao Ran, he
There were many things he didn't understand, and he wished he could figure them out before he died.
"It started around the time when you framed Mingxuan. At that time, I found out that you had a good relationship with Liyou and Guoli, and Guoli controlled South Korea's CJ." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and stopped the bleeding on his arm.
It eased his pain a little: "CJ once tried to enter the Hong Kong film industry through financing to get a vote!"
"Before that, Guoli had just increased its capital to obtain the absolute controlling stake in CJ. I roughly guessed that Guoli planned to use you to enter the Hong Kong film industry. When the time comes, it would take the initiative to increase capital and force you to hand over control." Xiao Ran.
He nodded confidently and said, "Besides, you were probably afraid of leaks, so you only poached people after you founded Hongguo. At that time, I expected that you were going to poach people!"
"Every film needs actors. In the Hong Kong film industry, it is difficult for other film companies to welcome an outsider, so your only way is to poach actors. If you poach actors, Phantom will definitely be your first choice. So, I will arrange it as soon as I return to Hong Kong
Got this! However, I don’t understand why you designed Mingxuan.”
Mo Huaien was suddenly a little proud. It turned out that Xiao Ran also didn't understand something. But he soon became frustrated. He didn't expect that Xiao Ran would have a strategy just after he founded Hongguo: "The design is clearly for that piece of land. I
If they don’t trust Guoli, they agreed to jointly invest in the land and sell the profits to me, on the condition that I come forward to make a movie!”
Xiao Ran suddenly realized that he had never understood it all this time, and he didn't expect that the reason was so simple. It was right to think about it. With Mo Huaien's character, how could he take the risk and agree to make a movie if there was no actual benefit.
"It is said that Pan Disheng and others came to you at that time, hoping to unite to boycott Hongguo. Why didn't you agree?" Mo Huaien felt sad when he thought of this. He knew that Xiao Ran dominated the Hong Kong film industry, and after joining forces to boycott Hongguo, he was sure
If he couldn't go any further, he could then take the opportunity to express his helplessness to Guoli, take the opportunity to withdraw his capital, and get the benefits of that land in vain. But he didn't expect that Xiao Ran actually did nothing, forcing him to fulfill his contract with Guoli.
"It's very simple. I need Korea CJ. The forced acquisition may not be successful in the first place, and the losses will be huge. Since Guoli brought CJ to the door, why should I bother!" At this point, Xiao Ran paused.
He gently hugged Lin Qingxia's slender waist and said with a smile: "Besides, your movements are always under my control, so why bother."
"Yes, it would have been the same choice for me!" Mo Huaien kept smiling bitterly, his face getting paler due to excessive blood loss. If he were in Xiao Ran's position, he would definitely have made the same choice.
What he still doesn't understand is that Phantom now controls distribution agents throughout Asia, and directly controls theaters and distribution in the major region of Southeast Asia. Even Japan was taken over by Phantom in the battle against Golden Harvest.
, the only country that does not control local distribution companies is South Korea. There is no reason not to take advantage of this good opportunity that comes to your doorstep.
Indeed, after winning Korea, Phantom is the multinational film company that truly dominates Asia. Most of the film distribution must be done through Phantom, whether it is a Phantom film or a foreign language film, if you want to enter Southeast Asia
Even the whole of Asia needs Phantom to distribute it.
In this way, a defense chain is truly formed. Reminiscent of Xiao Ran's vague words directed at Hollywood in several public occasions, Mo Huaien suddenly realized that the reason why Xiao Ran made such efforts was to build a tight defense network.
He wanted to understand more why Xiao Ran was so sensitive to Korean capital, and why Xiao Ran showed weakness at auctions and other occasions. This was to psychologically lure him step by step into the huge vortex of the film industry, and
This vortex was created by Phantom. As long as Xiao Ran was willing, he could create hundreds or thousands of vortexes for Hong Guo to choose from at any time.
"Then why did you let Zhou Runfa and the others defect to Hongguo? This shouldn't be of any benefit to you! Moreover, Brother Fa and the others have such a good relationship with you, how do you know that I won't suspect this is a conspiracy?" Mo Huaien still had doubts.
No doubt, this is just one of them.
"If you don't stop bleeding, I'm afraid you won't be able to support it for long!" Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia couldn't help but sigh softly when they saw Mo Huaien's insistent look, and had to explain: "Whether they suspect it or not, Hongguo needs actors.
Once you obtain their contract, you can dispel a certain degree of suspicion, and there is no point in continuing to doubt it."
"Besides them, you have no one else to use. Hongguo is a new company and it won't be able to train suitable actors in the short term. Moreover, you have to use their reputation to build the Hongguo brand. You have no choice." At this point.
, Xiao Ran smiled, and Lin Qingxia suddenly realized: "If I didn't have a way to get their contract back, I would definitely not let them go."
"Furthermore, I also want to take the opportunity to test how many of Phantom's artists, other than this group of friends, would betray themselves for money. Besides, increasing actors' pay has always been what I want to do, but I can't raise it very high at the moment.
So it's actually a good thing to lend you your hand to help me." Xiao Ran smiled softly, but when he looked at the stained scarlet stain on the carpet, he gradually felt a little sad.
"The most important thing is that the existence of those stars currently hinders the promotion of new talents!" Xiao Ran smiled softly. Promoting new talents is one of his main reasons. If Fa Ge and the others were here, it would be difficult for Xiao Ran to surpass these already famous people.
Stars promote more newcomers. You must know that currently there are only about a hundred films in Hong Kong every year, of which about 20% are third-level films.
Only a small number of films with real high-end production costs account for this. Therefore, according to the six-month production cycle, each star will have to star in two films per year. Once the share is occupied, as the stars increase,
With the number of dramas increasing, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for newcomers to come forward. While Fa Ge and the others are leaving, giving some dramas in the past six months to the newcomers to come forward is definitely one of his main considerations.
He does not agree that if you lose, you will die. People who hold this idea are just people who have no confidence in themselves and need to use death to give themselves motivation. If they lose, as long as people are still alive, there will definitely be a chance to make a comeback. However, for
He also knew that he could not stop people who were determined to seek death.
A bleak smile appeared on Mo Huaien's face as pale as snow, and he nodded thoughtfully. He understood what Xiao Ran meant. Since Hongguo had obtained a large number of artists, directors and filmmakers, it would need to pay a lot of money.
Come and sign the contract.
In addition to the contract, the fatal thing is that they have to shoot a lot of movies. Hongguo is currently filming and completing eight movies, with an average investment of 20 million per movie, which adds up to a large number of movies.
Money. Under such circumstances, Hongguo's already insufficient cash naturally became more dangerous.
It is true that he had no choice. Apart from these artists and directors, he did not dare to promote new people to take risks. Even when Phantom was founded, Xiao Ran had many blockbuster movie scripts in hand and had the capital of time and money.
How dare you place your bet on a newcomer, especially him.
As for the filmmaker's contract, Mo Huaien believed that Xiao Ran could get it. Hongwei went bankrupt, and in a chain reaction, Hongguo would definitely have its assets seized. By then, if Xiao Ran was determined to win Hongguo, he could take everyone down by the way.
Buy the contract. If you let it go bankrupt, the contract still won't go away.
It was difficult for Mo Huaien to tell whether he was regretful or calm now, but he knew very well that when he studied Xiao Ran, he came to the conclusion that Xiao Ran had a very tolerant character. Unexpectedly, he was teased repeatedly by Xiao Ran in the middle, and finally ignored this point.
It is no longer important whether he tolerates it or not. Mo Huaien knows very well that if he can discover this in time, he may not go bankrupt, but Hongguo is still destined to belong to the Phantom. Because Guoli is destined to fall, he
It is even speculated that the Liyou Bank scandal is closely related to Xiao Ran.
Because at present, the direct beneficiary is Xiao Ran and the Phantom Company. This move directly restrained their vital point. In addition, Xiao Ran started ambush very early and gradually used various factors to freeze their operable funds in various places.
In terms of industry, it eventually led to a shortage of working capital and had to lose to Xiao Ran.
However, Xiao Ran was so scheming that Mo Huaien began to wonder if today's kidnapping of Lin Qingxia was also secretly controlled by Xiao Ran. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked: "What I did today, were you too early?"
Did you expect that? Or my jumping over the wall in a hurry is one of your ways to force me down on purpose!"
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were shocked. Mo Huai'en could really think that it is not a good thing to judge others by oneself. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia both showed bright smiles and looked at each other. Lin Qingxia looked at Mo Huai'en.
En's sympathy grew a little more. She didn't expect that Mo Huaien would have such unbearable thoughts before he sought death, and she couldn't blame him for ending up like this.
Lin Qingxia believed that Xiao Ran would never joke about his own danger. It was absolutely impossible. Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing: "I guess I'm not despicable enough to take advantage of my wife? In fact, I did guess that you might
You are messing around, but I thought your target would only be me. So, I originally planned to use myself to induce you to commit crimes if you were not bankrupt."
Seeing the smiles of Lin Qingxia and his wife, Mo Huaien realized that he was very wrong. He thought of Xiao Ran taking a bullet for Lin Qingxia just now. This was already absolutely irrefutable evidence. He blamed himself.
Even when he was dying, he still thought like this. He smiled miserably: "I'm sorry, when did you start designing me?"
"When I guessed that you, Guoli and Liyou might enter the film industry, I had already started designing, but at that time I was just preparing for a rainy day!" Xiao Ran shrugged, feeling a slight pain in his arm: "I am used to being targeted.
I have prepared a plan to face the crisis in advance, and I already had a plan for Jiahe! In fact, if you hadn’t entered the scene, maybe I would have found a way to lure you in for CJ.”
Mo Huaien's face was even more bleak. He never expected that Xiao Ran would have such a deep and deep plan just for a CJ and a possibility that might not be established. He never expected that
, Xiao Ran actually started designing it half a year ago.
He was convinced that he had lost this war, and he had no choice but to be dissatisfied. In every aspect, he knew the traps dug by Xiao Ran and had to jump into them. Just like Fa Ge and the others' job hopping, even though he had always
I was skeptical, but I still had to use it.
He thought that this might be Xiao Ran's brilliance. He had a plan for everything and was able to adapt to changes. At this time, he finally realized that he was not the hero who saved the princess in the fairy tale, but the evil dragon.
.
"Did you design the box office failure in June?" Mo Huaien understood the ins and outs of the entire war, and figured out that he lost to Xiao Ran, which gradually caused the liquidity in his hands to fall into trouble, eventually leading to a chain effect.
, forcing him to go bankrupt. But he didn't understand whether Xiao Ran's defeat in June was a deliberate loss to engage in psychological warfare, or whether he really lost.
"June..." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. The failure was due to various factors. Firstly, he did use this to fight psychological warfare. Secondly, the market for cartoons is indeed not big at the moment. Thirdly, the iron
Long was indeed very powerful, and the films he took were very good. He raised his head and nodded to Lin Qingxia, who was concerned about his injuries, to indicate that it was okay. Then he stared at Mo Huaien, who was slumped on the sofa, and said: "Half and half, I have a plan, but that
The film is really great.”
Mo Huaien forced his lips to smile. It seemed that he had really found a treasure. He had noticed Tie Long's ambition a long time ago. If he didn't need someone familiar with the film industry to operate, he would have given up long ago.
After using it, he smiled miserably: "Let's go! I don't think we will see each other again! Xiao Ran, you have to be careful about that iron dragon."
"Are you sure you don't want to go out?" Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia stood up and took a few steps, but after all, he was not a person who liked violence, so he couldn't bear to turn around and asked: "Go out now, there is still hope! There is no need to seek death!"
