In fact, Lin Qingxia doesn't have much free time, and she doesn't have much time to visit Xiao Ran like today. It seems that right now, she is cooperating with Di Long in "The True Story of Heroes", but this is a night scene, so
She only took time out to see Xiao Ran during the day.
Xiao Ran knew this, but by some strange coincidence, he actually went to visit the crew of "The Legend of Heroes" that night. Who knows why, but now he was sitting in the bar with Lin Qingxia, enjoying the filming.
The moment of relief afterwards.
Of course, the two of them treated what happened during the day as if it had not happened and neither mentioned it to each other. In fact, nothing really happened during the day, but they were still a little embarrassed after all. For Lin Qingxia, Xiao Ran was just
A little brother she likes. To Xiao Ran, Lin Qingxia is not only like a sister, but also a peerless beauty worthy of respect in Hong Kong film history.
Rubbing his nose habitually, Xiao Ran did not dissuade Lin Qingxia who was already drunk. He knew that what she needed most now was to get drunk and forget about the past. However, Xiao Ran still sighed incomparably in his heart. Yilin
Er Qin's love affair is definitely the most sensational scandal in this era, but unexpectedly it ended without any problems.
In the end, this gorgeous beauty unexpectedly married a businessman who didn't look very good. Maybe it was because of the pain in love that made her give up on love. I was really disappointed because Xiao Ran didn't like gossip.
Everyone was equally curious about what happened between Lin Qingxia and Er Qin. However, Lin Qingxia was very strict with her words, so she didn't reveal anything about it.
Throughout the night, he had been drinking with Lin Qingxia, but he drank only drinks. Lin Qingxia was very restrained, and stopped drinking after only three points of drunkenness. Xiao Ran supported Lin Qingxia, who was stumbling, and sighed softly.
: "Sister Lin, why don't I take you home!"
Without waiting for Lin Qingxia to agree, Xiao Ran helped her carefully avoid the corners of the table, and carefully avoided other guests walking around. At this moment, a white light flashed, and Xiao Ran suddenly trembled, just like Carina Lau in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves"
The movements are the same as shouting: "Who, who is it?"
"Haha, Aran, it turns out you and Sister Xia are together! Can't this be posted? That's fine, it will save you the trouble!" A rather familiar voice came out from the crowd.
Liang Jiabao emerged from the crowd like a swimming fish. He smiled and was about to take out the film and hand it to Xiao Ran, but saw Lin Qingxia wave her hand and said semi-confusedly: "It's okay, Bao, I can't help you."
It’s been so long!”
Xiao Ran suddenly realized that this bar was a place frequented by celebrities, and Liang Jiabao must often stay here. Wouldn't he catch the two of them. This was just Xiao Ran's self-righteousness. Liang Jiabao's words immediately rejected Xiao Ran's
Suspicion: "No, I just came here to chase the news about A Ran. I dare to swear that I smell the best news in him."
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia both laughed. This Liang Jiabao was quite funny. No wonder he had good relationships with many celebrities. They said hello to Liang Jiabao and left. Before leaving, Xiao Ran was still not used to being treated by others.
Feeling like staring at him, I agreed to give him an exclusive interview on the condition that I would not stare at him again in the future.
After leaving the bar, Lin Qingxia felt much more sober. She threw the key away from Xiao Ran. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran rubbed his nose fiercely and said nonchalantly that he couldn't drive. In desperation, he had to take a taxi back.
.
After sending Lin Qingxia home, the Filipino maid quickly got busy, bringing hot towels, anti-hangover medicine, etc. like a stream of water. Xiao Ran had the experience of being drunk before, and knew that it would be very uncomfortable to be sober the next day. .So, he could only gently wipe Lin Qingxia's face, fold the hot towel and put it on her forehead.
After finishing everything, he carried Lin Qingxia to the bed. Just when Xiao Ran was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that drunk people are easily thirsty, so he quickly poured a glass of warm water and put it on the bedside table. After doing this, Xiao Ran finally leave.
In fact, Lin Qingxia was not so drunk that she fell unconscious. She just found it funny when she saw Xiao Ran busying with her. However, when she saw Xiao Ran pour a glass of warm water and put it on the bedside, she suddenly felt something It was as if something was covering his eyes, and he suddenly became hazy. Once again, he forgot what others had asked him to do.
He's busy! After Xiao Ran returned to Xiaoyao's Nest, he made an astonishing sigh to Wei Dongling. He was indeed very busy, including the shooting work, but he still had to find time to attend some parties and get to know some people in the circle. People and so on, this left him little time.
"It's okay to be busy. It would be bad if you weren't busy in the film industry!" Wei Dongling glared angrily at Xiao Ran, a guy who was moaning for no reason. Then he remembered something and asked quickly: "By the way, didn't you say that before? Do you want to start a company? Now that "A Better Tomorrow" is so popular, in terms of strength and popularity, you can definitely go it alone."
Go it alone? It’s not that Xiao Ran doesn’t want to, all he does is start a company. In fact, it is absolutely easy to start a film and television company in Hong Kong in this era. As long as there is a company host and an accountant, that’s pretty much it. As for employee issues, generally They were all borrowed.
It doesn't even require much capital, because not every company is willing to risk its own wealth to make movies. Most of the time, they go around to attract investment. According to Xiao Ran's understanding, even Li Ka-shing has invested in movies. .
However, even a fool knows that a company with this kind of structure is too loose, and it will go bankrupt in a matter of minutes. What Xiao Ran wants is a structure like Future Galaxy Image, a company structure that is even tighter than that. There must be enough To retain funds and support film talents, he must have enough investment funds and have his own distribution channels. This is what he wants.
Don’t underestimate this. Without enough funds, you can’t support film talents. The end result will inevitably be a loss of film talents, or even simply join other industries. It’s even worse if there are no distribution channels, which means that even if the film is good, Even if it wins an Oscar, it won't be released in theaters. If it doesn't get released, it won't be able to recoup its investment. Without distribution channels, the film won't be sold in Southeast Asia.
This distribution channel is all about interpersonal relationships and strength. Just like Wang Jing's "The Bird" in 2005, originally this film was not qualified to be shown in cinemas, but because of its wide network, it was accepted. The box office is low? It doesn’t matter. The theater owners can handle it. This is the importance of relationships.
The film industry is a place with complicated relationships. Regardless of the relationship, even if you are a part-time job, it is not easy to get into the industry. For example, the future director Gu Dezhao, whose sister is a senior manager of Jiahe Company, has a very good relationship with Xu Ke .
Just kidding, flying solo, if these conditions are not enough, is simply asking for death. Although Xiao Ran thinks that starting a business is a very pleasant thing, he is not stupid enough to think that failure is a happy thing. Although
Sometimes failure really is the mother of success.
However, Xiao Ran was convinced that his connections in the circle were not bad. Now he just needed to climb a higher level and get to know higher-level people. As for the source of funds, he also thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to use the 1987
The stock market crash started on October 1 and lasted for two full months.
Xiao Ran considers himself a very moral person, so he made a lot of preparations for the upcoming stock market crash. He also gave himself a reason to go ahead and do it. This reason is: Hong Kong people can't live without movies.
Live, so for the sake of the movie, compatriots who were hit by the stock market crash should regard it as a little advance investment.
Of course, this is just a joke. To be honest, Xiao Ran has struggled mentally many times over this matter. If he takes advantage of the stock market crash, he will be harming the interests of all Hong Kong people. If he is exposed in the future, he will be finished.
Sure enough, the cover of this issue of "Ming Pao Weekly" showed a photo of Xiao Ran supporting a slightly drunk Lin Qingxia. All of a sudden, all the major newspapers and entertainment magazines were looking around to find out about this person who was hooking up with Lin Qingxia.
Who is this boy?
At first, they only knew that Xiao Ran was a screenwriter, and they said with disdain that such a brat was not worthy of being with Lin Qingxia. When they learned that the scripts written by Xiao Ran since his debut had an average box office of 20 million, they were all dumbfounded. It seemed that
Overnight, everyone got to know this new screenwriter again.
For Lin Qingxia, such scandals were not a big deal. Although Xiao Ran was a little uneasy, he didn't think it was a big deal. The key point was that they were nothing. However, he was still very happy because the newspaper was so positive about him.
The hype has made people take the screenwriter more seriously.
"Cheers to our success!"
This happened three days later. On this day, the local box office of "A Better Tomorrow" exceeded 25 million. Xu Ke and Huang Baiming immediately decided to hold a celebration banquet, and the result was the current scene.
Xu Ke pulled up Wu Yusen's hand and raised it fiercely. The two held up the goblets and touched them gently. Everyone present happily raised their glasses and shouted cheers. Xiao Ran just drank the drink in the glass.
Then Huang Baiming laughed so hard that his teeth almost fell out and shouted: "Cheers to the box office success!"
In desperation, Xiao Ran had to add another drink and drink it all in one gulp. Fortunately, after being in contact with him for a long time, everyone in the circle knew that there was such a non-drinking screenwriter, so everyone forgave Xiao Ran for his unsociable behavior.
After toasting again this time, suddenly, the lights went out. A waiter pushed a huge cake to the center of the hall, and everyone sang happy birthday in unison. Xiao Ran smiled, they were in advance
To celebrate Zhang Guorong's birthday, Huang Baiming informed him in advance.
Zhang Guorong, who was later selected as one of the "Four Stunning Beauties" in the Hong Kong film industry, is not as enchanting now, but looks very energetic and has a cheerful temperament. He is obviously stunned by everyone's move now, staring at the big cake in a daze.
He suddenly grinned sincerely.
After singing the song, Zhang Guorong was still in high spirits. Zhu Bao leaned on him and kissed him on the face, which immediately made the whole room laugh. Xiao Ran stood next to Zhang Guorong, pretending to be self-pitying and hurting himself.
She said to Zhang Guorong sadly: "Oh, we are all standing together. There is no reason why she kissed you but not me. It's so unfair!"
Zhu Baoyi was obviously very happy. Seeing what Xiao Ran said, he also smiled sweetly and gave a sweet kiss to Xiao Ran's face. Xiao Ran immediately looked dizzy and covered the place where he was kissed with an intoxicated expression.
, just like a boy in love for the first time: "Uh, Ayi, I won't wash this side of my face anymore, do you agree?"
This joke immediately caused everyone present to laugh wildly. The celebration banquet was really a good place to relax. Everyone played happily for a while, posed some poses and allowed reporters to take some photos. Xiao Ran then pulled Zhang Guorong.
I went to build relationships on the sidelines.
Not long after the conversation, Huang Baiming and Xu Ke, as well as Shi Nansheng and Wu Yusen came to the two of them. Zhang Guorong knew that they had important things to talk about and was about to leave, but Xiao Ran knew the battle well and quickly held him back.
He: "No need to leave, this matter has something to do with you!"
