Fang Ruoxin seemed not to have sensed Xiao Ran's intention at all, and stood up with a very polite smile and said: "Sorry, excuse me!"
Both Xiao Ran and Yi Shu were stunned for a moment, and they both realized something at the same time. Yi Shu's gaze fell on Xiao Ran's face, and she couldn't help but shook her head slightly. Of course Xiao Ran didn't know that this sentence was really a good excuse.
As that graceful figure gradually faded away, I felt a little bitter in my heart.
Suddenly, I lost all interest. After searching, I saw Yang Wei and Xiao Han on a sofa. There was a middle-aged man chatting with them next to them. Moreover, this man seemed to be very humorous and made the two girls laugh.
Non-stop.
For some reason, Xiao Ran suddenly felt very unhappy. He strode forward and sat next to Yang Wei, hugged his shoulders affectionately, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a provocative look!
As soon as he calmed down and saw the man in front of him, Xiao Ran's head started to buzz like cotton. The one who was teasing the two girls was the famous godfather Huang Zhan, the same Huang Zhan whose laughter filled the waves on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
!
This huge contrast made Xiao Ran instantly embarrassed to death, but Uncle Zhan laughed nonchalantly and pointed at Xiao Ran and said: "Are you Xiao Ran? I was talking to your girlfriend and your sister just now about you, and they
They all praise you as a talented person, but I don’t know whether you are more talented or I am more talented! Haha!”
Swallowing hard, Xiao Ran scratched the back of his head with a smile: "Uncle Zhan, stop joking! How can I compare to you? You and Sister Yanni are the real talents and beauties."
Huang Zhan obviously didn't wonder why Xiao Ran knew him. You must know that this old boy has acted in many films, and the ones that make him most proud are the unwritten series of third-level films. Coupled with the shocking and talented work "No.
"Collected Works", as long as you are a Hong Konger, it is simply impossible not to know him.
"Okay, okay, no kidding!" Huang Zhan let out a generous laugh, and Xiao Ran suddenly thought that maybe only such a truly generous person could create a laughter that would spread across the sea. As soon as he thought about it, Huang Zhan stretched out his finger and praised: "
You are a good boy and the script you wrote is very interesting. I like you very much!"
"Azhan, let's go!" Lin Yanni's voice called Huang Zhan, and Huang Zhan stood up reluctantly, made a gesture to Xiao Ran, left him a phone number, and left.
Staring at the vaguely heroic back, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a surge of pride. He cheered himself up and thought: I am just a woman. If I waste the opportunity given to me by God on a woman, even I will
I even look down on myself. In the same era as this group of heroes in the Hong Kong film industry, if I don’t do something, how can I be worthy of myself and the Hong Kong films that I have loved since I was a child?
After staying for a while, Xiao Han went to play by himself. Not long after she left, Huang Baiming sat down on the sofa opposite Xiao Ran, pondered for a moment and then said: "A Ran, I'll roughly read your notebook.
After reading it, the story is very good. But..."
"It's just that I've never been a director before, so you're not too relieved?" Xiao Ran smiled in relief. He had known that Huang Baiming would be so cautious: "The president of the United States is not born to be a good president!"
"Your analogy is really..." Huang Baiming couldn't help laughing, and even Yang Wei covered her mouth and chuckled. When he stopped laughing, Huang Baiming's expression softened a lot: "Actually, we all really want to see it.
It depends on you as a director, but you also know that none of the movies the company has invested in over the years has lost money. If you don't do a good job, then I'm afraid..."
To put it simply, the risks outweigh the benefits. Xiao Ran secretly summed it up in one sentence. In fact, it was true. He was only a new screenwriter who had been in the industry for a year, let alone a director. If he had been in another four-year career,
After working as a screenwriter for five years, Huang Baiming probably agreed. But investing in Xiao Ran to do it was indeed very risky.
Of course Xiao Ran understood, but he knew better that there was a supervision system, and Xinyi City was not afraid of making bad movies at all. So, he smiled brightly: "Old Huang, stop playing tricks on me, I don't believe you don't want it."
I am very optimistic about this book."
"You saw through it!" Huang Baiming chuckled, waved his hand unconsciously and said: "You all know that there are certain risks in this matter, so the company's decision is that if this film is not successful, then you
In the next three years, I have to write five hit scripts for the company, and those that are not hits will not be counted!"
Gently touching the beard on his chin, Xiao Ran calculated it. It was not difficult for him to write five blockbuster scripts in three years. The difficulty was that he planned to keep many good scripts for himself.
However, is it possible that "Eight Star Announcement" will not be successful? Then this condition basically does not exist.
But he didn't plan to let it go. Since Huang Baiming had put forward such a condition, there was no reason for him not to take advantage of it. So, he bargained meaningfully: "No problem, but I have to choose the actors. There is still a budget.
Too low!”
"No problem!" Huang Baiming lowered his head and thought about it. In fact, under normal circumstances, the actors are indeed decided by the director, so this casting problem is not a big one. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I'll find you an experienced deputy."
Director, I guarantee that you will have nothing to worry about! You will come to the company tomorrow to discuss the specific matters!"
Xiao Ran didn't stay long and called Yang Wei and Xiao Han to leave. Before leaving, Lin Qingxia just told Xiao Ran to bring Xiao Han here to play more often. Xiao Ran laughed and made a joke: "If it disturbs you like this,
The happy life with Brother Han is not good!"
As a result, Xiao Ran ran away from Lin Qingxia's beautiful anger. This move naturally caused Xiao Han to laugh at this brother unscrupulously. On the other hand, Yang smiled very reservedly, looking like a lady.
When Yang Wei was sent to the door of the house, Yang Wei took out the key and was about to open the door. Suddenly he turned around and stared at Xiao Ran for three seconds with a rather resentful expression. Then he opened the door and entered the house. Xiao Ran was stunned.
After a while, he sighed softly and left.
"Sister Wei seems to have fallen in love with you, is that true?" In the car, Xiao Han no longer jumped around, but remained silent for a while, as if he had made a very difficult decision: "Brother, if you like
Sister Weiwei, then go pursue her. I...I won’t bother you in the future!"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly, gently touched Xiao Han's head and said, "Xiao Han is so cute, why would my brother find you annoying? Besides, Yang Wei may not like me. Some things are really inappropriate.
That’s easy to say!”
Xiao Ran told Wei Dongling that he was going to be a director. This rough guy was also very excited about Xiao Ran. When he asked about this guy's career, he immediately became very depressed. He is not doing what he wants in Jiahe.
I tried another job, but found myself gradually falling in love with movies.
If nothing unexpected happened, history was changing. Xiao Ran quickly came to the conclusion that Wei Dongling in history should have been in the United States now, but now he is still in Hong Kong, which is enough to prove everything.
Xiao Ran didn't start writing the prequel to "A Better Tomorrow" that night because his hands were trembling with excitement. The opportunity was right in front of him. As long as he could seize this opportunity and spend another year or two to become a good director, then the film company
There will be no problem.
The next day, in Huang Baiming's office at New Art City Company, Xiao Ran and Huang Baiming were studying the crew members. Of course, Xiao Ran decided on the casting, while Huang Baiming decided on the behind-the-scenes staff.
When Xiao Ran handed Huang Baiming his list of actors, he was shocked when he saw it: "Zhou Runfa, Zhong Chuhong, Zheng Yuling, Zhang Xueyou, Yuan Jieying, Feng Baobao... your lineup is too huge!"
"It's not that big!" Xiao Ran laughed. He was the original team member. He scratched his hair and took the paper to add a name: "I forgot, there is still a key person missing!"
When Huang Baiming saw the name added, he immediately fainted. Because what Xiao Ran added was Huang Baiming's name, Xiao Ran didn't pay attention to Huang Baiming's rolling of eyes at all, and said to himself: "The role of the eldest brother
It’s none other than you, even if you want to be lazy this time, you can’t do it!”
Xiao Ran was confident that Huang Baiming would agree. It was hard for him to imagine that the bosses of Xinyi City would actually lower their bodies to act. However, when he paid attention to the subtitles in the movie, he understood that it was not impossible. This new
A group of giants in the art city are very economical. It is common for them to make guest appearances or simply star. For example, the "Happy Ghost" series starred Huang Baiming.
"In that case, I will contact them later!" Huang Baiming smiled bitterly and agreed. After thinking for a while, he continued: "I will ask the following to come up with a budget plan and prepare a shooting schedule. You can wait for my news.
!”
After leaving Xinyi City, Xiao Ran was in a very happy mood. Suddenly he thought that Liu Hua had been hidden by Wireless, and he was probably very depressed. Then he thought of Zhou Xingchi, and felt happy for a while, so he called and invited the two of them over.
Originally, he planned to call Liang Jiahui, but unfortunately Liang Jiahui had an announcement today and couldn't get away. Liang Jiahui had already been given the opportunity to film at the beginning of this year. The first movie he made after his comeback was called "Fire Dragon". Xiao Ran even remembered this movie.
The film was shortlisted for the next Academy Awards.
When Liang Jiahui came back, he happily lamented to Xiao Ran: "It's really unpredictable in the world. He was blocked by Taiwan, but he received support from mainland funds!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart pounded, and he vaguely felt that he had grasped an extremely crucial point. He thought hard as he walked until he arrived at the appointed restaurant. His butt just landed on the chair, and he couldn't hold on to it just now.
The idea of staying there came up.
That's right! He finally knew what he was remembering! The Hong Kong film industry has always had mainland capital investment, including the early Great Wall Company and the current Yindu Agency, all from the mainland. Xiao Ran thought that if he remembered correctly, it seemed that
There are also several relatively smaller companies that are funded from the mainland, and New Kunlun seems to be one of them.
According to Xiao Ran's understanding, these companies are not doing well and can only rely on financial resources to survive. Only Yindu Organization can survive on its own strength and is still active even in the 21st century.
However, the strange thing is that the source of Yindu's funds is very mysterious. No one knows where the company's money comes from, but it is very clean in the accounts, which means that it is definitely not black money.
Why did he think of this? Xiao Ran asked himself hard in his heart. He didn't understand why he was so excited when he thought of this, as if he had picked gold. However, at this moment, he knew the answer, because his subconscious mind
Tell him that this bank is really a target that can be exploited!
(I'm sweating! Another faint. Who told you that Fang Ruoxin is the heroine? Who said that Xiao Ran must like her because he is so obsessed with her? The reason why I describe it in an exaggerated way in everyone's eyes is because it is absolutely necessary for the plot.
.To put it simply, Xiao Ran has little to do with Fang Ruoxin, Lin JJ is his final choice)
(Also, the reason why Liang Jiahui was persuaded to come out was not to ask him to act, because at that time the protagonist did not have the strength to handle the ban from Taiwan. Therefore, what Xiao Ran asked Liang Jiahui to do was to help him write scripts and so on!)
(Finally, I firmly oppose any personal attacks, and I hope everyone can do the same)
