Fa Ge and Hong Gu's eyes widened, and they immediately thought that Wei Dongling might want to talk to Xiao Ran about the company. Knowing that it was not a good thing to hear other people talk about such secrets, they were about to leave, but were stopped by Wei Dongling.
Wei Dongling didn't want the two of them to leave. He just wanted to express his opinion on Xiao Ran's recent performance. Fa Ge and Hong Gu had the best friendship with Xiao Ran. It would be a lot easier with their help. Just as Xiao Ran sat up straight and stared in confusion.
When Wei Dongling was talking, he was hesitating where to start: "Aran, have you noticed that you have changed in the past six months?"
"I've figured it out, don't worry!" Xiao Ran suddenly smiled bitterly. He was reflecting on this issue now. He didn't want to be like some famous businessmen who immediately fell into narcissism just because they had achieved a little success.
He treats others arrogantly.
It is not easy for him to imagine this. After all, his nature is to be peaceful and like freedom. If it were others who had achieved such achievements in five years, they would have raised their noses to the sky.
I have to admit that it is precisely because Xiao Ran's nature likes freedom that he has evolved to the domineering level he is now. It is just because his subconscious does not want others to interfere with his own self, and he wants to go his own way. The peaceful and enthusiastic way of life is closely related to the current situation.
Under the collision of domineering people, sometimes they inevitably do some unreasonable things, such as investing in Debao and Tianluo.
Don't think that his achievements are nothing. Wealth alone does not mean anything. Now in the eyes of people in Southeast Asia, Xiao Ran is not only a super rich man, but also a genius with amazing talents. Such fame and reputation make Li Ka-shing jealous.
, people say he can make money, but no one says he is talented.
Since ancient times, talent and money seem to be incompatible. In people's eyes, Xiao Ran is the only person who can combine these two advantages. Coupled with Xiao Ran's good appearance, if he hadn't been married, just
I don’t even know how many women are willing to marry him. You must know that Xiao Ran has been ranked the most jealous of men and the person most wanted to marry by women for two consecutive years.
If he hadn't had the instinct to restrain himself, Xiao Ran would have definitely become ten times more domineering than he is now, and would most likely have become a nasty person. However, now that he is aware of this, he will not let this happen.
Xiao Ran thought a lot last night, thinking that he had changed due to changes in wealth and status. He thought that he was gradually unable to grasp history and wanted to control everything as soon as possible. He thought that many things he did did not necessarily conform to the laws of the market.
Now Xiao Ran has sorted out his ideas. He wants to change his mind and make himself more energetic and combative to face Hollywood. As he told Lucas, monopoly is indeed the most profitable. However, his
The purpose is not to make money.
He kept smiling bitterly, and he finally had to give up that ideal that seemed so simple now. He helped Hong Kong films rule the world, and after regaining his sanity, he knew that this was impossible. This was a cultural dispute between the East and the West, and cultural disputes were not about dependence.
He alone can play a decisive role.
The battles in shopping malls are always cruel and fierce that outsiders cannot imagine. Xiao Ran only wanted to support Hong Kong movies before, but unknowingly he indirectly destroyed Xinyi City and tore up the Jiahe Empire with his own hands. This is a shopping mall.
Helping the rise of Hong Kong films has also turned him into personally participating in it and becoming the main force. Everything is completely different from his original idea. If he cannot replace it with new content, it will be difficult to challenge Hollywood with new ideas.
Hong Kong movies have gradually moved toward formalization and marketization under his guidance, and he has not forced anything. Therefore, he does not need to force anything in the future. The market will naturally guide people to follow the footsteps of the Phantom.
He thought that he should reposition Phantom, not as a ruler, but as a guide and forerunner, giving other companies an example to follow. Today's history is very different from before, at least in the film industry.
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling must carefully search for and test every possible expansion market and opportunity for Hong Kong films, and even the system.
Seeing Xiao Ran closing his eyes and thinking quietly, Wei Dongling stopped entangled. From Xiao Ran's expression, he saw that Xiao Ran had understood and this would no longer be a problem that troubled him. Suddenly, Xiao Ran opened his eyes, revealing a long-lost feeling.
Familiar smile: "A Dong, how do you think the company should develop now?"
"It's very simple. I think we should develop towards the industrial side!" Wei Dongling shrugged. Any company must take the industrial route in the end: "Film is a venture capital after all!"
"No, you're wrong!" Xiao Ran really figured it out. Movies are indeed venture capital, but if he uses this as a basis to fully advance into the cultural field, it won't be a big problem: "Our goal is culture, and movies can generate countless
related interests, and these are all things we can easily extract!”
Wei Dongling chuckled, glanced at Fa Ge and Hong Gu, who were listening quietly beside him, and said, "I also guessed that you would say this. In fact, it is very beneficial for the company to develop in an all-round way in the cultural field. And the company is already in the publishing house.
Both the media and the media have considerable power, so when combined, they become a powerful force."
Xiao Ran nodded. He didn't expect that the comics industry and publishing industry that he had started for movies in the past would become his advantages today. It can be seen that the future is really unpredictable. After thinking about it, he smiled easily
: "However, the core business is still media and audio and video. Maybe we might as well call it the entertainment industry."
"I suggest that we still can't relax the industrial aspect..." Wei Dongling is really a bit stubborn, but his stubbornness still has a certain reason: "Now the company has not much room to expand in the entertainment business, and the company controls
With product patents like karaoke and more than 10 billion in cash reserves, we might as well enter industries such as real estate and infrastructure!"
"In this way, the company's core business is somewhat scattered!" Xiao Ran thought about it quietly and realized that specialization is not bad, but it is not suitable for Phantom: "It doesn't matter, the company's current situation is also time to expand to other industries.
!However, there needs to be a core industry.”
"Real estate or telecommunications!" Wei Dongling had already had a plan in this area, and he immediately proposed it: "However, I think it is best not to focus on real estate as the core business, otherwise the company will definitely be easily affected by the market. Telecommunications is actually very
Yes, I think telecommunications will have a lot of room for development in the future. But the market has not been opened yet, so we have to consider other things."
Telecommunications! Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh. This is a good idea. The future telecommunications business will definitely be linked to the entertainment industry. It's not that he hasn't considered the electronics industry, which is closely related to entertainment, but he doesn't care about it.
I don’t understand Yi Xing at all, and this can be completely accommodated under the core of entertainment.
It seemed that it was time to pay attention to the telecommunications market. By grasping the mobile phone market in advance, we could develop a more detailed movie market in the future. Xiao Ran quickly conceived a picture of the future he needed, and suddenly realized this,
I couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like I had some business talent.
Suddenly I remembered that the largest acquisition in Hong Kong's history was PCCW's acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom. Then I remembered that Hong Kong canceled Hong Kong Telecom's international business in advance in 1995, interrupting its monopoly. Britain's Dadong was also forced to sell this company.
A company with annual revenue of tens of billions.
Three days later, Xiao Ran returned home, promised her parents to have a child, and then returned to the room. In the room, Lin Qingxia was quietly waiting for Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran opened the door and came in, and saw Lin Qingxia sitting on the bed, looking as usual.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, walked to her side, sat down, and gently held her hand: "I was grumpy that day, I'm sorry. As for the child..."
"It doesn't matter, I just want my parents to feel at ease!" Lin Qingxia smiled at him and said in a slightly stiff tone: "Since you don't want it, then don't want it!"
She can do this to me, why can't I do this to her? Xiao Ran looked at his beloved wife and really wanted to impulsively agree. But his reason told him that children are really the most annoying thing in the world.
Although making a movie is nerve-wracking, it won't make anyone grow old. But raising a child is nerve-wracking enough to make people grow gray-haired.
Suddenly, he found that Lin Qingxia's eyes were slightly red and swollen. She must have cried. If you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell. An indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his heart, and he gently stretched out his fingers to touch her eyes.
Moaning, as if wanting to erase all the sadness: "I'm sorry, I won't be like this again!"
Lin Qingxia suddenly wanted to cry. When a woman reaches her age, she always wants to have a child. She thought that Xiao Ran might not know that without a child, no matter how big the family is and how many security guards are there, it will seem lifeless. But, she
Not wanting Xiao Ran to be unhappy, she had to fall into a dilemma.
The family turmoil has subsided, but the root of the matter has not been resolved. Xiao Ran has forgotten about the incident. He is currently busy with a new racing movie, which has been renamed "The Legend of the Car God".
The producer was busy with preparations, while Xiao Ran was busy with the media and casting. This time, he wanted a fashionable and young newcomer to give the film a youthful feel.
At the same time, Shuxiang is also selecting suitable cartoonists to make comics for this series. However, Xiao Ran hopes to release the film first and then develop comics and other peripheral industries, and do his best to explore any commercial value.
After four or five years of cultivation, the Hong Kong film market is still not very mature, and neither is the audience. However, it is already maturing. Xiao Ran believes that if he is given another five years, it will be enough to control the audience.
Movie viewing habits.
In fact, the current results are already very good. According to the survey report of the planning department, the popularity of various themes has gradually moved in the expected direction. Comedies are no longer the only mainstream, and boring farces are even more difficult to attract audiences.
Other companies also pay great attention to logic and rationality when making movies. Even the market for dull literary films is not very small, but has taken the opportunity to cultivate a group of quite die-hard style admirers.
Xiao Ran didn't think so much now. He was staring at the guy for the interview. However, what made him a little depressed was that after two days of interviews, there was still no fashionable young man in his mind. The young man he wanted was of the same age.
It doesn't need to be too old, about eighteen or nineteen years old is enough. In this regard, Liu Hua and the others don't quite meet this standard.
When he turned to the next form, he immediately froze and stared at the name on the form in disbelief - Jin Chengwu! Isn't it? This was his first thought. If he remembered correctly, this guy should be
It’s only right that you’re still in school. And, it’s only right that you’re in Taiwan.
Jin Chengwu's first film in Hong Kong should be "The Legend of Modern Heroes". In that film, this handsome young man seemed to be so pure that he was not touched by the dust of the world. Xiao Ran still admired this actor and immediately signaled for the next one to come in.
.
When this person came in, Xiao Ran was slightly surprised. It was indeed Jin Chengwu, but how could he appear here? After glancing at it, he couldn't help but smile. Jin Chengwu is really young now, and he looks better than "Modern Heroes"
Lidu still looks immature. However, isn't this the person he wants?
"Is it Jin Chengwu?" Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly. He was now accustomed to treating people he knew as strangers: "You filled in the form that you are Taiwanese and you are still studying. How come you come here to audition?
"
Jin Chengwu was trembling nervously, but he saw Xiao Ran. Yes, of course he recognized Xiao Ran, and he also liked Xiao Ran's movies, whether they were actors, directors or editors. Seeing Xiao Ran, he shook his head and even more
He was nervous: "I...I came to Hong Kong with my girlfriend and saw your advertisement, so..."
"Okay! I understand!" Although there were several interviewers around Xiao Ran, it was obviously him who made the decision. Although he had made up his mind to win over Jin Chengwu, he still pretended to be interested and continued to ask: "
Can you drive, I mean a car!"
Jin Chengwu, who looked extremely handsome, shook his head, and Xiao Ran nodded. It's not important that he can learn if he doesn't know. After thinking about it, he thought that he had nothing to ask anymore, so he said to him: "You can do it."
For a performance, well, let’s do a scene where you get into an argument with someone, give it a try.”
Jin Chengwu quickly thought about it in his mind and thought about how he argued with others. Then he looked at Xiao Ran who was smiling in front of the table. After calming down for a while, he shouted angrily into the air. This action was actually quite funny.
, making everyone else laugh.
Xiao Ran also wanted to laugh, but he felt that it was unnecessary to undermine Jin Chengwu's confidence, so he nodded to him and said to his left and right: "Okay, he is the leading actor!"
