This made Xiao Ran very unhappy. Of course, he was not averse to criticism, but he was unhappy with Ni Kuang. Although Ni Kuang was talented, the attacks on China in his works were really irritating, even though Xiao Ran believed that he was really serious.
There is no way to be patriotic, but such attacks are really discrediting the Chinese people.
What mainly made Xiao Ran angry was that Ni Kuang's son Ni Zhen later actually married Zhou Huimin, the head of Jade Girl, to hide their beauty in a golden house. This incident alone was enough to make many men hate them to the core.
In any case, even if Xiao Ran is not recognized by insiders, he will definitely not be able to escape being the number one screenwriter in the mouth of outsiders. A box office of more than 200 million is not something that can be taken lightly. 200 million banknotes can be piled up to death.
.If there were still people who thought that Xiao Ran had not won the award before, it didn’t count at all. Now that Xiao Ran has won the award, there is nothing to say.
Now Xiao Ran is thinking, is it better to have 100 million screenwriters than 20 million screenwriters? Of course, this is a joke. He is not stupid enough to think that in this era, a movie can have a box office of 100 million. Unless...he
Controlled all theaters and all actors.
Wei Dongling was not very busy at work in the morning. Seeing Xiao Ran's thinking expression, he couldn't help but smile: "It feels different to be criticized. It doesn't matter. You will get used to it sooner or later. There are always some people in this world who say good things about you, and others
People say bad things about you and don’t want to see other people’s victory!”
Seeing Xiao Ran's confused look, Wei Dongling smiled and told him what happened after he and Xiao Ran left separately last night. When Wei Dongling left the venue last night, he happened to overhear the conversation of several people. Those people seemed to be the same.
In the industry, they looked very disapproving of Xiao Ran winning the award. One of the guys who was suspected to be a screenwriter even said boldly that Xiao Ran was just an ordinary screenwriter and was not qualified to be called the first screenwriter.
"Really? Did I offend someone?" Xiao Ran then realized that many things don't happen until you offend others, but as long as you do better than some people, you will always be jealous. After thinking about it,
He smiled and said to Wei Dongling: "Bring it here!"
Wei Dongling spread his hands, pretending to be confused. Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh or cry, patted his thigh and said leisurely: "I don't believe you didn't send someone to find out what those guys are doing for food. Bring it!"
"You still understand me, so you can do it!" Wei Dongling admired Xiao Ran very much, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "You have guessed this, isn't that the roundworm in my stomach? Those people are not a big deal, they are just
Inconspicuous little characters, don't pay attention to them."
When he said this, Wei Dongling looked at Xiao Ran with a strange expression. Xiao Ran suddenly realized that Wei Dongling wanted to tell him not to be proud of the false reputation of the first screenwriter and attract unnecessary enemies. Thinking of this, he learned
The ancients usually cupped their fists and said, "Thank you for your teaching, brother! Hehe!"
Wei Dongling nodded happily. After all, he was much older than Xiao Ran. He always needed some experience in this area, so he vaguely reminded Xiao Ran. However, he did not expect that Xiao Ran was not this age in the first place, but was older than this.
He is quite mature, so naturally he will not get carried away because of this.
After making a joke, Wei Dongling began to frown: "The current situation of the company is not good. Not a single film has been released yet, and Liao Jingping has already complained to me. He said that we asked for a schedule but there was no film, which made them find a temporary director.
After the film was released, we lost a lot! Otherwise, we had to release a film first, otherwise the company’s finances would be very tight.”
"No!" When it came to work, Xiao Ran lost his usual interest in having fun and got into the mood. He pondered for a moment and gave the reason: "A Dong, what the company needs now is not money, but popularity. I think the finance must be
It’s not as stressful as you said, it’s just that I have expenses but no income at most!”
Seeing Wei Dongling nodded in recognition, Xiao Ran rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Besides, Fang Ruohai's financial resources are behind him, so there will be no financial problems. Therefore, we need to use entrepreneurial work to make a name for ourselves. This is very necessary.
. Moreover, if the film is released during this period, the box office will definitely not be satisfactory!"
"There is something I don't know whether I should say or not!" Wei Dongling hesitated for a moment. He was not originally a hesitant person, but he knew that Xiao Ran was pursuing Fang Ruoxin. Naturally, he had to think about the following words before saying it: "You are so dependent on Fang Ruohai.
, I think this is definitely not a good thing. If he plays some tricks on the funds, I'm afraid the company..."
"Probably not?" He said that, but Xiao Ran patted his thigh gently, letting his thoughts follow the rhythm. If Fang Ruohai was dragging behind them, this outcome would definitely be unimaginable. However, according to the contract,
Even without Fang Ruohai's financial investment, Phantom's losses would not be huge. At least it would be able to maintain its current situation.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Ran was even very eager for Fang Ruohai to break the contract, so that he would not need to share 70% of the film's profits with Fang Ruohai. Coming to this conclusion, Xiao Ran laughed: "It doesn't matter, he can't
What harm has it done to us!"
Besides, I might become his brother-in-law! Xiao Ran added this sentence fiercely in his heart. After talking for a while, Xiao Ran went to the studio. Part of "Autumn Fairy Tale" was shot on location abroad, and now it has been moved to another location.
By the time we arrived in Hong Kong, the basic filming had been completed.
Therefore, Xiao Ran went to the filming location of "Prison Storm". Fa Ge has been constantly filming this year, which really exhausted him. Since it was a real-life shooting, it saved a lot of trouble. When he came to the set, Xiao Ran didn't bother him.
Among others, only Liang Kun came up and said hello.
"Did the filming go well? No one came to cause trouble, right?" Xiao Ran especially had the temperament of a boss when he said this.
"No, this went very smoothly!" Liang Kun smiled generously: "But, boss, you promised not to let me get involved in the underworld. What's the point of letting me come to the set now?"
Xiao Ran was startled for a moment, turned to look at Liang Kun, and smiled softly: "You are an expert after all, and I will feel a lot more at ease with you here. As for if someone really comes to make trouble, you only need to talk to them. If you take action or something,
, I absolutely don’t need you.”
Liang Kun smiled bitterly. He really looked like a consultant. However, with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, he had to do some work. Xiao Ran did not leave him. When the scene was finished, Huang Guangliang
Smoking and taking a break with Cheng Kui'an and the supporting cast.
Xiao Ran walked forward with a smile and greeted: "Brother Liang, Brother Dasha, Brother Ju, the company's treatment is not bad!"
When they saw that the boss of the company was coming, they stood up quickly. Dasha couldn't stop laughing, but it really matched his name: "Not bad, really not bad!"
"Look at how stupid you are, you really are a fool!" Huang Guangliang smiled and said kindly: "It's really good, the lunch box is plentiful, the salary is good, and everyone is very kind! Unlike others
When the crew starts working, there will be quarrels every once in three days!"
He Jiaju and the other three look very fierce. No wonder villains always appear on the screen. However, they are all cute and evil people. Dasha glared at Huang Guangliang, and then said to Xiao Ran: "
Boss Xiao, why not start working with you from now on."
Xiao Ran knew how to deal with such relatively unruly people, and laughed out loud: "It's okay, which company are you with now?"
In fact, no company is willing to sign contracts with supporting actors like Huang Guangliang, because it is simply unprofitable to sign them. Therefore, they usually work with a company that has a lot of business, something similar to an agency.
When a big company like Phantom makes a film that only produces and produces, it is impossible to find all the actors and some unimportant crew members, such as extras, at one time. Therefore, usually, big companies are
Directly entrust these tasks to the next party. There are many such brokerage companies in Hong Kong that rely on these large companies to make ends meet.
Huang Guangliang and the others are now considered to be slightly famous supporting actors, so they are not working with any small company. Instead, after the phantom is handed over to the small company, the small company will find them to play supporting roles. Everything is that simple.
, when Xiao Ran asked them which company they were working with, he was actually asking which company they mainly had close ties with.
"We are mainly working with Tianxing now, so it's easy to make ends meet!" He Jiaju, who had been silent all this time, answered Xiao Ran's question with a smile.
Tianxing Film Company Xiao Ran heard from Wei Dongling some time ago that this company is a relatively powerful agency and production company. He nodded and said with a smile: "Phantom doesn't have many jobs to open at the moment. If you just follow
I’m afraid I may not be able to make much money, but in short, with the right roles, you guys are always indispensable!"
Dasha scratched his head and laughed. They all heard that Xiao Ran meant that they were more suitable to play villains. In fact, they were already full of cruel faces. If they didn't play villains, they would really be sorry to God.
Nodding to them, Xiao Ran came to Lin Lingdong's side. The recorder quickly moved a chair. Xiao Ran said thank you and sat down. He turned slightly sideways and looked at Lin Lingdong and Nan Yan and sighed: "I'm really not a person."
Competent producers have not been to the set for many days!"
Lin Lingdong and Xiao Ran were relatively familiar with each other, and he burst out laughing: "To be honest, no director wants the producer to be there every day."
Xiao Ran chuckled a few times. The supervisory system created by Mak Dangxiong scared Hong Kong directors. Coupled with a strong imitator, New Arts City, the director really feared and hated the supervisory producers. Originally, they were both.
If Xiao Ran were the director, he would not like any producer who interfered in the filming of the film.
"It doesn't matter, I'm a producer who is easy to get along with." Xiao Ran laughed dryly. He originally didn't want to get involved in the director's creation: "I'm curious, for example, in the script, how did you handle the scene where Fa Ge plays the erhu in the sun?
That scene needs to be shot with a kind of sincere joy, and it also needs to be very contagious. How should we do this?"
"This..." Some things obviously cannot be described in one sentence. Lin Lingdong gathered some vocabulary before telling Xiao Ran: "Actually, this number one depends on the actor's performance..."
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement. The scene of Fa Ge playing the erhu and singing in this film was performed extremely well, like a ray of light in the darkness. Lin Lingdong continued: "Secondly, the scene needs to be arranged.
In other words, you need to use other characters to secretly bring out this kind of happiness. For example, you can arrange a few people to play basketball behind the hair boy, and their expressions must be very involved. In this way, the effect will be mixed.
."
Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully and subconsciously. Xiao Ran had always tried to learn something from other directors. He had consulted Zhang Wanying and Xu Ke. Their styles were different from Lin Lingdong's, and each had its own characteristics.
