On the way there, when Yang Wei was restrained by Xiao Han, who was blushing with excitement, Xiao Ran took time to think about his own affairs. Yang Wei's behavior just now seemed to be quite affectionate for him, and Xiao Ran would not notice this.
Not coming out. Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t agree with Yang Wei’s delicate beauty, it’s just that he knows his own affairs, and he doesn’t have any feelings for Yang Wei. If he really feels anything, maybe it’s the moment when they first met...
This gave him a headache. It was not a bad thing for someone to like him. At least Xiao Ran enjoyed this feeling. However, there was still a shadow in his heart, a shocking shadow. Of course, Xiao Ran was not a child, and of course he would not
It was ridiculous to be obsessed with a woman he had only met once. However, he still thought, maybe it was better to say that he hoped that Yang Wei would not like him.
Lin Qingxia's new home is very big! This is Xiao Ran's first thought. It has a swimming pool and a garden, which makes him very envious. However, with his current wealth, he would probably buy a house somewhere else, let alone Saigon.
Neither may be enough.
As soon as he entered Lin Qingxia's home, Xiao Ran saw a number of acquaintances. The so-called acquaintances probably meant those he had seen and knew. Several big names in Xinyi City, such as Xu Ke, Mecca, and Huang Baiming.
Everyone is here, and Zhang Manyu is chatting happily with others.
Xiao Ran said hello to these people and went straight in. Inside, he saw Lin Qingxia chatting happily with the same person. When she saw Xiao Ran and the others came in, she immediately showed joy. She apologized and came to the front of Xiao Ran and the other two people.
After looking at Yang Wei for a while, he said to Xiao Ran in a melodious tone: "Aran, your girlfriend is very beautiful!"
Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything. Of course, Lin Qingxia didn't know the origin of Xiao Ran's smile. She just stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Han and whispered a few words. Then she asked Yang Wei and the others to find a place to relax.
So he took Xiao Ran to meet some friends he knew.
"The people here today are all high-status people. A Ran, you have to seize the opportunity!" Lin Qingxia stared at Xiao Ran with a strange expression, seeming to know Xiao Ran's idea of wanting to be a director: "Maybe I will treat you very well in the future.
helpful!"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Qingxia and Xiao Ran came to a very wealthy middle-aged man. After some introduction, Xiao Ran realized that the middle-aged man in front of him named Lin Guiyun was one of the most powerful film producers in Taiwan. Every year
They all bought a lot of trailers for Hong Kong films.
As for this film cost, Xiao Ran is very clear about it. Before a new film is released, or even before it is shot, someone has paid to buy the copyright of the film in a certain place. This is the film cost. It must be said that this kind of film company
The influence is huge, and selling videos is also an extremely popular method in Hong Kong in this era.
Under normal circumstances, film producers do not interfere with the film. However, that is just a general situation. Many times, film producers have to designate actors for a certain film. The more popular the actor is, the easier it is to take advantage of it. In fact, Xiao Ran knows very well that it is precisely because
Such demands from film studios have led to the creation of countless bad movies. Because sometimes the film studios even take the lead in the filming of the film, shooting the movie without a script and without all preparations. It would be a waste if it didn't produce a bad movie.
The film quotation system is a testimony to the heyday of Hong Kong movies. How prosperous it was: before a film started shooting, or even before it had an outline, as long as the film company told the film studio that the new film would star such-and-such, the film company would immediately
If you can make a decision, pay the money first to buy it.
In fact, to put it bluntly, most of the time, Hong Kong film companies in this era use the money of film studios from all over the world to produce films. It is like the Air Force fighting the Army. If this cycle continues, the film companies will make profits, and the film companies will also make a lot of money.
It just produced a lot of bad movies, which led to the decline of Hong Kong movies.
However, from Xiao Ran's point of view, it's not that trailers cannot be sold, but they cannot be sold in this way, and investors cannot be allowed to influence the operation of the film. Only good quality can make the film sell better. Therefore, this trailer system does not need to be abolished.
But there must be changes.
Lin Guiyun was easygoing by nature, which made Xiao Ran feel good about him. After chatting for a few words, Lin Qingxia led Xiao Ran to another middle-aged man. This man was the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Weekly". He was also a very powerful person.
It is absolutely impossible to be punished.
After walking around with Lin Qingxia, and getting to know famous talented women such as Yi Shu and Lin Yanni, as well as some other outstanding people, Lin Qingxia went to greet others. Xiao Ran didn't like this environment very much, so when he saw Lin Qingxia leave
, he found a place to sit down, drink something by himself, and take a rest.
Obviously, others may not be willing to approach him as a small screenwriter. However, Lin Guiyun came over and sat down very curiously and said, "Mr. Xiao, why are you sitting here alone?"
"Mr. Lin, just call me A Ran!" Xiao Ran actually didn't like the idea of someone coming and going. It felt very hypocritical: "I always feel very tired sometimes, so I take a rest here."
"Haha, you're not used to parties like this. It doesn't matter. If you come more often, you'll get used to it!" Lin Guiyun really didn't have the airs of a big businessman. Instead, he chatted with Xiao Ran in a friendly manner: "This way
, I call you A Ran, you can just call me Gui Ge, people in Li will find it strange!"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly and glanced around. There were men and women everywhere holding wine glasses and chatting with others. At this moment, a man and a woman walked in from the door. The man was handsome and the woman was unparalleled! At this sight, Xiao Ran was stunned.
Come on, isn't this woman the same woman who caught a stunning glance at the door of the hotel that time?
Seeing Xiao Ran's eyes and appearance, Lin Guiyun looked over and immediately showed an understanding smile. He coughed twice, then suppressed his smile and said, "Aran, what do you think of this woman?"
"She?" Although Xiao Ran was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed for being so rude in front of outsiders: "Very good, very beautiful!"
Seeing Xiao Ran's embarrassment, Lin Guiyun developed a strange affection for the young man in front of him. In his eyes, anyone who can understand embarrassment is obviously not a bad guy, at least he is worth making friends with. He smiled and nodded.
: "However, she is someone that neither you nor I can afford to offend. This man and woman are brother and sister, the man is Fang Ruohai and the woman is Fang Ruoxin. Their father is a wealthy Chinese American, and they are not someone with our status that we can be friends with!"
Xiao Ran is not a fool, so he naturally understands that Lin Guiyun is doing it for his own good, and implicitly dissuades him from falling into this quagmire, because the identity of the other party is beyond his reach. However, he knows that sometimes feelings are really uncontrollable.
.At least now, Xiao Ran just feels that his whole body and mind are falling in. As soon as he saw Fang Ruoxin, he became shy and easily excited like his first love. This is how it feels...
"Ahem! Aran, what good book has your 20 million screenwriter written recently?" Lin Guiyun saw Xiao Ran's eyes looking at Fang Ruoxin and couldn't help but shook his head slightly. In his opinion, young people are young people after all.
, it’s easy to fall into it.
Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Lin Guiyun in shock. He didn't expect that the nickname "Twenty Million Screenwriters" would be known to even the Taiwanese industry. He didn't know this. In this era, the relationship between the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industries is not bad, and Lin Guiyun is still doing
If the film producers don't even know about him as a newly famous screenwriter, then there is no need to mess around.
The entertainment industry is a place where strength is most important, and it is also a place where qualifications are most important. For example, if a screenwriter can write blockbusters or award-winning scripts like Xiao Ran, he will naturally be extremely popular. However, qualifications are the real
The person who dominates everything, take TVB's Liu Songren as an example. Even though this person is not as famous as Zhou Run, he is definitely the one who can speak for TVB. Even the words of the top executives are not as good as this person's words.
Qualification means seniority, and seniority means strong connections. Wang Jing has directed and produced countless films that mocked all kinds of big stars and directors. Film industry eldest brothers like Cheng Long and film industry directors like Wang Jiawei were all parodied.
Perfectly groomed.
If anyone else had filmed like this, I'm afraid this person's name would no longer exist in the film industry in the future. But Wang Jing has extremely strong connections. His father is an outstanding director of the older generation. Naturally, no one would dare to do anything to him when it comes to pranks.
That’s the importance of connections.
What Xiao Ran has now is strength, but his qualifications are far behind, and his reputation is not bad. Therefore, it is not surprising that Lin Guiyun knows Xiao Ran. Of course, Xiao Ran did not expect that much, he just took it back reluctantly.
Eyes said: "There are several scripts, but this time I plan to be the director myself!"
Lin Guiyun was stunned. He was very optimistic about the young screenwriter in front of him. Although he didn't know whether this confidence was intuition or something else, he just had this feeling. It was like how people sometimes interact with each other.
It takes just one word to give trust to a stranger.
Therefore, Lin Guiyun just wanted to inquire about Xiao Ran's creative situation, and then give himself some buffer time to plan and buy new movies. But Xiao Ran actually said that he planned to be the director himself, which put Lin Guiyun in a difficult position.
Directors who excel in editing are definitely not seen in this era. Of course, those produced by Wireless are not included. Those are directors. The so-called director is nothing more than being able to edit and direct. Xiao Ran has not received any training as a director, but he can't
It is really hard for Lin Guiyun to believe that he wants to be a director.
You can wait until the film is finished filming before deciding whether to buy it or not! Some people must think so! Unfortunately, Hong Kong films are now very popular in Southeast Asia. As long as you, the film dealer, hesitate a little, you are afraid that this film will be overtaken by other films.
The dealer took it away. This is the reason why film producers rushed to grab the film in the early 1990s. Although it is not that serious now, for the film written by Xiao Ran, it is probably still relatively popular.
Just when Lin Guiyun was in trouble, Xiao Ran stood up politely, said excuse him and walked towards Fang Ruoxin. When he came to that dazzling face, Xiao Ran couldn't even maintain his smile, and there was a squeeze on the stiff face.
He smiled reluctantly: "Hello, Miss Fang, can you sit down here?"
Fang Ruoxin smiled politely and nodded. Xiao Ran's palms were sweating profusely. He secretly hated himself for acting like a junior brother. On the surface, he tried his best to soften his smile: "Fang
Miss, I didn’t expect to meet you here, it’s such an honor! My name is Xiao Ran, and I am a screenwriter.”
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Xiao Ran had the idea of slapping himself, or starting work. Fang Ruoxin didn't realize anything, and said with a smile like everyone else: "Nice to meet you, 20 million screenwriter!
"
Xiao Ran sweated profusely! Just when he was deeply surprised, a cheerful female voice rang beside him: "Who doesn't know the name of screenwriter Xiao Da now? A Ran, I'm afraid you don't know that "The Man in the Dream" is Ruoxin
Invest it!”
In order not to be rude to others, Xiao Ran turned slightly and looked over. It turned out that the person speaking was Yi Shu, but she didn't know when she sat down. Yi Shu obviously saw what Xiao Ran meant, and couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle: "
Aran, I'm afraid you only have eyes for Ruoxin, I've been sitting here all the time!"
Even though he was very thick-skinned, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel embarrassed...
