Chapter 283: Far-reaching Premeditation
The death of the crew of "Reincarnation" has spread all over the world. Now, not only Hollywood stars and news are concerned around the world, but Hong Kong is also the focus of attention. Fortunately, Phantom has always bought insurance for the staff. Get used to it and avoid bigger problems.
No matter what angle Xiao Ran looked at, this was the Phantom's first film where a dead person was filmed, so he had to go there in person. As a result, he went to the home of the speed worker in person, and after comforting his family, he offered a large sum of money with both hands. pension.
This piece of news obviously pushed the title of the drama "Reincarnation" to the top in an instant. Xiao Ran was helpless. It is not uncommon for people to die during filming. In the history of Hong Kong films, there were even accidental deaths during filming, and the director did not care about it. The matter of human corpses being dumped in the mountains. However, for current Hong Kong films, this is indeed the first case.
No reason, because that scene was too difficult. Xiao Ran's heart was beating fiercely when he was planning this scene. Driving in the opposite direction on the highway, anyone who knows anything will know that he is seeking death. Xiao Ran did not do virtual photography like this special effects, so he could only use this method to shoot. And he had tried his best to let Infinite Vision calculate this very accurately, just for fear of any accidents.
No matter when this matter subsides, the film will continue. Filming "Reincarnation" will become a hardship for Xiao Ran, because filming this film encounters the most difficulties. When filming the action at the end The scene may be better said to be a chase scene. Xiao Ran discussed the chase scene with Yuan Baye, and after thinking that there was no technical problem, he called the other staff members over.
Gathering everyone together, Xiao Ran frowned and thought for a moment. After confirming that there was no technical problem, he confessed to Huang Yongheng: "Old Huang, the next scene is very difficult to shoot. The effect I thought was very weird..."
Xiao Ran gestured and concluded that this scene was the climax at the end, a five-minute chase scene. He knew very well that it would be difficult to create something new when shooting a chase scene to a certain extent. However, this scene , he thought he could do it.
The first five minutes of the chase scene were completely controlled with Xiao Ran's experience and deep control of action movies. What gave Xiao Ran a headache was the scene after five minutes. He wanted to show a sense of evenly matched opponents. , needs some romanticism.
In a sudden inspiration, he came up with a very strange performance technique. Instead of shooting it like an ordinary chase scene, he let the two cars go their own way. Then when they reached an intersection, they drove at the same time. Get up and collide with each other.
The collision did not kill both of them. Both of them were very smart and lucky enough to escape from the car and flew into the air. And this is the effect Xiao Ran wanted, he wanted the two cars to collide. flew into the air, and both protagonists flew higher.
Calling Liu Qingyun over, Xiao Ran whispered a few words to him, and the two began to make movements to express what the scene was like. The two first made movements of baring their teeth and claws, and Xiao Ran took the time to add: "This is flying into the air. , higher than the car. Just when they drew their guns and shot at each other, the car exploded, and the shock wave pushed them away at the same time, and the distance between the two was very close!"
At the same time, Xiao Ran and Liu Qingyun each made gestures of shooting at each other with guns. They took a few steps away and got close enough to just enough to hold each other's hands. Then Xiao Ran and Liu Qingyun stamped their feet at the same time.
, explained: "It fell to the ground! At this moment, the two men raised their guns at the same time!"
Xiao Ran and Liu Qingyun pointed their fingers at the same time, pointing at each other's heads as if they were guns. This series of actions stunned the crowd. Xiao Ran and Liu Qingyun let go of each other and walked in front of them. Xiao Ran glanced at each other and asked: "
Can everyone understand this scene?"
Nodding silently, Xiao Ran sat down with confidence and said to Huang Yongheng: "For this scene, the camera must be in place. I want a three-dimensional effect. The shot of the two protagonists flying into the air..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran's voice seemed to have been cut by scissors, and his expression was even more blank, and he had no idea what he was thinking. Xiao Ran was in a very excited mood now, just as he had constructed such a picture in his mind
At the same time, he thought of a very wonderful way to deal with it-bullet time!
If the two people flew into the air, then each held the other's arms, and the scene of each other drawing guns and shooting at each other was handled in bullet time, it would definitely produce an unparalleled effect. Xiao Ran thought about it in his mind and quickly came up with this
conclusion.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran felt vaguely uncomfortable. Bullet time is very gorgeous and may not be suitable for this film. However, Xiao Ran thought that he might as well give it a try, at least try more. He quickly asked the special effects director: "I have a proposal, please wait a moment
Talk about it in detail!”
Turning to look at Huang Yongheng, he also indirectly ordered the staff of the explosion team: "There is no need for explosions. There is no need for explosions in the whole film. It makes people feel too gorgeous. Old Huang, when the two of them flew up
You have to grasp that angle well. I need both of them to have their backs to the sun at the same time, I think you understand what this means!"
After Huang Yongheng thought for a moment, he understood what Xiao Ran meant. He was indeed his old partner. Not only him, but Zhang Shuping and the others also understood what Xiao Ran meant. Xiao Ran wanted to express a kind of sinking by turning his back to the light, which fit the theme very well.
Picture communication.
"Okay, no need to give orders..." Zhang Shuping saw Xiao Ran turning his eyes towards him, waving his hands repeatedly: "I understand what you mean, no problem, I will definitely make the effect happen!"
Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Xiao Ran smiled happily. He couldn't blame Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, who often have their own teams now, because tacit understanding can not only save a lot of time, but also make creation more powerful.
While the film was being filmed, Murdoch, who was sitting in the UK, fell into a state of restlessness. His News Corporation had not had a good fortune in the past year or two, and had been squeezed out by Shuxiang Media many times. Not only that, Shuxiang was even more
Repeated attacks on his acquisition plans caused his expansion to reach a stalemate in the past two years.
What made him most uncomfortable was that because the acquisition plan was repeatedly attacked by the wealthy scholar, he did not make any money, but he lost a lot because of it. The bankers and financiers did not say anything on the surface, but Murdoch
We all know that a series of failures in the past two years have gradually made people lose confidence.
He knew that he had to do something to save everything, and he had to win. And he was currently planning an acquisition, a very large acquisition, and the target was Piao Tian Literature.
He had a plan a long time ago, and Hong Kong was one of the four major media bases in his mind. However, the rapid rise of Phantom has gradually cut off his hopes. However, sometimes it can be described as a twist.
A few years ago, because of Piaotian Literature, there was less need for other TV stations. Therefore, Shuxiang initially sold off many newspapers, and made a profit of about 20 billion in this regard. A year ago, Shuxiang even more
I started to sell off some TV stations from small countries, and I also made a lot of profits from them.
Murdoch fully understands Xiao Ran's approach, because after the merger, ATV itself has become the largest television group in Asia, covering all of Asia and even Europe. In this way, other TV stations that originally paved the way for ATV are basically useless to Shuxiang.
Lost its use value.
Murdoch knew that Xiao Ran's previous acquisition of those TV stations was just to obtain the local operating rights. Over the years, ATV has already covered it and achieved decisive success, so it would be a waste of money to keep other TV stations.
So, Murdoch knew that his opportunity had appeared. He knew that Xiao Ran was afraid of him and was unwilling to give him a chance. However, he also knew that Xiao Ran would never keep all these TV stations in his hands. He sold the equity of those TV stations last year.
is a very important example.
Therefore, all he needs to do is to raise funds and make acquisitions. The only thing he doesn't understand is that Piao Tian Literature is merged into a subsidiary. However, he has to admit that if he wants to enter Asia, he must win this time.
This acquisition requires four billion US dollars. Murdoch is very troubled by this funding issue, but he does not dare to negotiate with those people now because he is afraid that the news will leak. He even doubts that the scholar has been able to snipe News Corporation's acquisitions many times in the past.
, because there is a traitor inside News Corporation.
This data collection was almost entirely done by him alone. As News Corporation's most important battle, he would never allow it to fail. Once it fails again, investors and bankers are likely to lose their trust in him.
Confidence, then the problem becomes serious.
It's just that he can't do this. If he wants to build a global media group, Asia cannot be missing. Without Asia, it will definitely not be called global in any case. Moreover, he is not the kind of person who likes to fail.
If you want to shake Shuxiang Media’s overseas market, you must first attack its foundation.
Xiao Ran dared to swear that he was definitely not an undercover agent at News Corporation. All the information was collected bit by bit by Lin Yongqiang with his perfect business intelligence system, and what Xiao Ran had to do was conduct intelligence analysis.
Of course, if it were other information, there would naturally be people below to help him with it. However, News Corporation was one of the opponents he chose to deal with, and he knew very well what kind of guy Murdoch was in history.
If he wanted to prevent this old guy from playing dirty tricks, he had to take action himself.
For example, now, because "Reincarnation" has entered post-production, Xiao Ran is browsing the information sent back by Lin Yongqiang with peace of mind. There is also an interesting news next to it, which is not so much interesting as it is to relax Xiao Ran.
information.
The first news is that Kinetic Energy successfully made an acquisition in the Middle East and took control of a poorly managed oil company for US$2 billion. The other news is that Kinetic Energy still sold 100% of its stake in the oil company it controlled in Russia.
Thirty of them will be given to Sinopec.
This is inevitable. Just kidding, Xiao Ran doesn't want Uncle Putin to be investigated after he comes to power. After all, the means they used to obtain these things may not be exposed. Therefore, that company must get rid of it as soon as possible, at least two thousand years ago.
Sell it. If it is sold to petrochemicals, it will obviously be quite good. By selling only this 30% stake, Kinetic has made six billion US dollars. Compared with the original investment, it is definitely a huge profit transaction.
Acquisitions in the Middle East are definitely needed. Xiao Ran doesn't want Momentum to gradually sell out its holdings in the Russian oil company and then become empty shelves, so he must get a hand in the Middle East or other places. Now that he got this news, Xiao Ran
Kinetic energy makes me feel more at ease.
Investment, operation, and sales are the methods that half of the seven flagship companies are taking, including Kinetic, Mingxuan, and Hutchison Whampoa. However, that is because those companies basically do not involve high technology and do not require time.
To cultivate, they adopted such a strategy to expand their wealth. As for companies like Momentum, of course it is impossible to do this.
Finally, he began to browse the information. Xiao Ran only glanced at it and then showed his usual mysterious smile. In this information, all the clues showed that News Corporation was about to launch another round of acquisitions, and various organizations were organizing the information.
According to intelligence speculation, Murdoch's target seems to be a company in North America.
It obviously doesn't matter whether Xiao Ran believes it or not, because he knows exactly what Murdoch wants to do. When he comes to Wei Dongling's office, Xiao Ran throws the information to Wei Dongling: "Have a look, what do you think?"
After careful observation, a smile similar to Xiao Ran's gradually appeared on Wei Dongling's face. He stood up and stretched: "That old guy is really a bit sinister. I have to admit that that company has a lot of cash flow.
, if it is acquired by him and then split and sold, what do you think the result will be?"
Xiao Ran chuckled and sat back comfortably on the chair: "The old fox is an old fox. He can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Fortunately, he can actually find such a suitable target. He wants to attack from both sides. It's amazing!"
"I was thinking that after News Corporation's continuous efforts in the past two years..." At this point, Wei Dongling simply didn't know what to say. This guy Xiao Ran wasted a lot of money just to attack News Corporation's acquisition in the past two years.
He has obtained a lot of liquidity, and all this is to defeat News Corporation. I really don’t know why he values Murdoch so much.
Xiao Ran obviously knew what Wei Dongling was thinking, and continued with a hearty smile: "After our constant waste of funds, investors' confidence in him has dropped to the lowest point, and some shareholders have even asked to withdraw their shares. Murdoch is certainly a
The support is strong, but the financial problem still inevitably comes to light."
