Xiao Ran had not been so angry for a long time, with a gloomy expression, looking at the camera lens with a serious expression: "In view of what happened to the Indonesian Chinese and this matter, after an emergency meeting of the board of directors, seven companies including Phantom decided to withdraw all funds in Indonesia.
And here we call on Chinese businessmen around the world to refuse any trade relations with Indonesia until Indonesia apologizes and compensates!"
All the reporters in the audience were shocked, and Xiao Ran roared in a low voice like a lion: "Moreover, Shuxiang Media will sue the Indonesian government for murder on behalf of this female reporter to the International Court of Justice in The Hague! We will fight to the end with the Indonesian government.
, we will never allow anyone to harm our employees or the Chinese people."
This surprise is truly extraordinary. Shuxiang Media actually sued a country for the death of an employee. This is really unimaginable at any time. It is precisely because of this incident that the Phantom Seven flagship
Becoming the most respected company in the world and the company most wanted to work for.
On the third day, the global shock continued. "Schindler's List" had not even finished, and to the global audience, what happened in Indonesia was simply a replica of what happened to the Jews. Under Ge Wenqiu's lobbying, the film quickly
Gained Jewish support.
On the fourth day, Shuxiang, who has been far ahead of CNN and other TV networks in this report, discovered for the first time the deaths of three Americans and one British person. These precious pictures were broadcast through satellite transmission in North America and Europe, which immediately caused a stir.
Shocked. For a time, there were endless demonstrations in the United States and Britain.
On the fifth day, the bodies of two Americans appeared again. China and the United States finally responded. They both criticized the Indonesian government in extremely harsh tones, and passed proposals at the United Nations for economic sanctions and the dispatch of peacekeeping troops.
Unprecedented efficiency.
On the sixth day, after sorting out materials from many Queen's Counsel in Hong Kong, Shuxiang Media officially submitted charges to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. It was on this day that Li Wenzheng and Huang Jiawen, who had worked hard to escape, all came to Hong Kong, because they all
It is clear that only Xiao Ran has the ability to help them now.
On the ninth day, peacekeeping troops officially entered Indonesia to control the situation, and China also sent a team. On the tenth day, the Seven Phantom Companies donated 100 million U.S. dollars to set up a fund specifically to rescue the Chinese who had been harmed in Indonesia. By the halfway point
Months later, the fund received donations from overseas and has gradually accumulated to US$800 million.
On the 20th day, Li Wenzheng and Huang Jiawen formally filed a charge of genocide against the Indonesian government and some of the culprits to the International Court of Justice in The Hague! A year later, the Indonesian president and other culprits were found guilty.
In this incident that Xiao Ran had been preparing for a long time, the biggest beneficiary was Xiao Ran. Although Xiao Ran really didn't consider getting any benefits from this incident. However, he still gained by rescuing thousands of Chinese people in this incident.
The name of Schindler of the East was acquired, and Xiao Ran spared no effort to help overseas Chinese's reputation spread quickly around the world.
And Xiao Ran himself didn't expect that because of this incident, he would gain an excellent reputation around the world. Moreover, he would become the number one Chinese businessman in the world. However, it is right to think about it. With his own efforts, he can
Of course it is not that simple for a head of state to be brought down.
Shuxiang has undoubtedly benefited the most, because of the rapid reporting and casualties this time, Shuxiang has quickly won an excellent industry reputation around the world. This will definitely play the most important role in establishing the world's number one media company in the future.
Long after the incident, Wei Dongling asked very curiously: "Indonesia is pro-American, how could someone attack Americans?"
Xiao Ran smiled and didn't answer, and just gave a vague answer: "As long as you control it properly, nothing can happen!"
In 1996, "Espionage 4" came out, with a global box office of 600 million US dollars, and "Trilogy 3" came out, with a global box office approaching 200 million US dollars. And the urban fantasy "Dragon Man" series that Xiao Ran has been paying close attention to has finally come out.
, with a global box office of 540 million, plus other films, Phantom once again dominated five of the top ten seats in the global box office list.
And this year, driven by Phantom, Universal once again increased film salaries, allowing the emergence of a 30 million club in Hollywood. In the previous year, due to the rise of stocks such as Microsoft, this year Xiao Ran made 870 movies that the whole world looked up to.
With a net worth of one billion U.S. dollars, he topped the list of the world's richest people, nearly twice as far behind the second-placed student.
While the total market value of Phantom's seven flagships reaches more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, Wei Dongling and Fang Xiaoqiang have also successfully entered the top 50 richest people in the world with net assets of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars each.
The world did not stop turning because of Xiao Ran, and time rushed into 1997. This was the year when Xiao Ran was going to solve all the troubles, at least in his mind. What made Xiao Ran grit his teeth was that Wei Dongling and Fang Xiaoqiang each blackmailed him.
Got a very special car and private jet.
Just when the whole world was marveling at the youngest and richest man in the world, people never expected what Xiao Ran was doing. He was now riding a horse for his son and daughter, which was obviously very ridiculous.
, you can tell just by looking at the snickering looks of the security guards around the house. Fortunately, no one else knew, otherwise Xiao Ran would be really embarrassed.
Xiao Ran had expected to become the world's richest man when he decided to acquire stocks in Microsoft, Dell, Cisco and other companies. Just kidding, 18 shares of Microsoft alone are enough to make a person one of the top ten richest people. Take
After buying so many companies' equity, including 40% of Cisco's future market value exceeding 500 billion U.S. dollars, it would be damned if I still can't get to this position.
It would be absolutely false to say that Xiao Ran didn't feel happy at all because of this. But he was obviously more concerned about how to make his son and daughter happy. What worried him even more was that if he didn't make a fatal mistake, his wealth would definitely be
It is soaring day by day, just like Comrade Gai from the future.
But such overwhelming wealth is definitely a target for prying eyes. Of course, he does not mean business. The Phantom is now a giant, just like the company that shouts slogans to deal with Microsoft in the future. The slogan is
Yes, but there is no actual action.
What he was worried about was ruthless characters like the King of Thieves of the Century. To this end, he added many security guards with rich practical experience, and also assigned more bodyguards to his family. Of course, as for that classmate Zhang Ziqiang, Xiao Ran would not give him
He would kidnap his children or his wife when he had the chance. When he was on the richest list last year, he ordered someone to go to jail and kill that girl to avoid trouble in the future.
One Zhang Ziqiang is dead, but there are still thousands of Zhang Ziqiang alive. If you want to protect yourself and your loved ones, you have to do a better job. Xiao Ran has issued an order to the world a long time ago. It is not that easy for anyone to buy a gun.
thing.
In short, such a life is tiring. Although Xiao Ran is used to the sunshine and others running around with him, his mother and father are not used to it. It is more or less a trouble. After playing around for a while, Xiao Ran didn't know why, but suddenly
Get an inspiration.
If he hadn't remembered in time that little Ling'er was still on his back, he would have hurt the child if he stood up straight. Hearing little Ling'er's happy shouts, Xiao Ran gradually fell into thinking.
This inspiration was actually what came to mind during the test screening of "True Colors". What he thought of at that time was very simple, it was about the structure of the film. At that time, he was wondering if he could start with the structure of the film, just like the structure of "Memento"
It's a very genius film, so I got the inspiration.
He tried to make the structure circulate like a circle, which is quite similar to "Memory" in this regard. As he turned in circles on the grass, his thoughts gradually became rounder.
That would be a very interesting story, wouldn't it? The plot is very simple. While a police officer was investigating a case, his colleague was killed. As a result, when he continued to investigate, he discovered that the thief looked exactly like himself.
The point is not the plot, but the structure. Xiao Ran felt terrible just thinking about it. The structure contained in this film is really too powerful. It is not only a circle, but also a parallel time and space and a very virtual technique.
The next day, Xiao Ran called You Hai over. It was only appropriate to entrust him with such a script. The most important thing is that Xiao Ran knew very well that You Hai was definitely a top expert, especially when it came to this kind of refined work.
's script.
"It's very simple. The general story is..." Xiao Ran repeated the story he thought of, then stared at You Hai and said, "Do you understand?"
You Hai shook his head blankly. He didn't even know what Xiao Ran wanted to express. Xiao Ran frowned. The structure is really not easy to explain, especially the film is very mysterious: "For example, the plot is
It’s a circular set, and the end of the film must follow the beginning, just like reincarnation!”
"Then why does the thief look the same as the policeman? If they are not the same person, how can they be reincarnated?" You Hai not only didn't understand, but was simply confused by Xiao Ran: "If they are the same person, then it is impossible.
They appear in the same time and space, and they are intertwined together!"
How to explain this made Xiao Ran scratch his head: "You might as well regard the two protagonists as the same person, but they can also be different from the same person, and it can be done from multiple angles. The key is that this kind of inextricable knot technique
That’s the key point, and there’s also the method of paralleling time and space.”
After gesticulating, Xiao Ran looked at the still confused You Hai and continued to explain: "It's very simple, this is a virtual substitution method. We set the appearance and background of the thief to be the same as the police. In terms of meaning, this can be
An ordinary police film can also be a more ingenious reincarnation. I will replace the existence of the thief with virtual techniques and change the identity of the thief."
"You can think of two people as being in different time and space. Let's take a look. A thief kills the policeman's partner. Then the policeman investigates in anger and kills the thief. As a result, he is dismissed from his post or jailed for violating the law.
After he was no longer a policeman, he became a thief. He accidentally killed a policeman during a crime, and the policeman's companions investigated in anger. This formed an inextricable knot. This is what I mean by cycle and reincarnation!
"
Having said this, You Hai showed a thoughtful expression, but after a moment he was still confused: "Brother Ran, this obviously doesn't make sense logically..."
"No, no, no, you have to look at it from another angle!" Xiao Ran's expression now can be called fanatical. In fact, when he was Director Xiao, he was different from when he was President Xiao. They were extremely different: "Why?
Logic? We need logic when it comes to plots and details. Why do we need logical reasoning as a whole? Can’t we try a relatively illusory approach?”
"It can be a very metaphorical technique. A thief can really be a thief, but he can also be a policeman after falling into poverty. It is not important. What is important is your perspective." Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he had explained it.
For this reason, it is the most clear. If You Hai still can’t understand, there is no way to explain: “Your angle will determine what you see. This may be regarded as a continuation of "True Colors".
"
"What's more important is the structural technique. The dead knot is one, the parallelism of time and space is the second, and the virtual hypothesis is the third! You can pretend that it is not a fallen policeman, but a real thief. You can also assume that it is a fallen policeman.
, none of this is important, the important thing is that both angles can solve this knot. Thieves will beat the police to death, and the police will beat the thieves to death. After the police degenerate into thieves, they may beat the police to death, and the police may beat the police to death.
Kill this thief who was originally a policeman!"
As Xiao Ran was talking, he suddenly smiled bitterly. He felt that even if he detoured again, he would be detoured in. At this moment, Youhai's mind was full of policemen and thieves. After detouring for a long time, he only felt that his mind was like
It's like it's tied into a knot, and nothing can be said about it.
Only at this moment, with a sudden flash of spiritual light, You Hai's expression became shocked, indeed quite shocked. He stared at Xiao Ran dumbfounded for a long time before he said dryly: "Brother Ran, your idea is too complicated.
, I don’t think anyone can understand it, this is ten times more complicated than "True Colors"!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh. No one understands? That's not necessarily the case. Because of the baptism of "True Colors", the audience has become quite capable of accepting such profound things. In the past two years, there have been many
Dark horses at the box office emerge from experimental films and literary films.
"In terms of the theme, the most important thing is to highlight the concept that impulse and anger are one of the sources of evil. In addition, we might as well work on the relationship between friends, just the finishing touch is enough!" Xiao Ran vaguely remembered "
"Infernal Affairs", I suddenly got an inspiration: "Maybe you might as well consider how to highlight the wonderful feeling after the identities of the thief and the police are interchanged!"
