Everyone looked at the source of the sound. It was Xiao Ran who was speaking. He stood up and glanced around: "What are the responsibilities and obligations of the Film Association?"
"Coordination, easy management, and reconciliation of conflicts!" The director looked at this absolutely upstart guy in puzzlement. He didn't understand what Xiao Ran wanted to say.
Xiao Ran understands that the establishment of the Film Association is inevitable and necessary, but he believes that the Hong Kong Film Association does not play a big role. This can use collective strength to combat random production companies, but obviously the current Film Association does not
There is no such conscious thought.
Just like the century-old film company jointly founded by many directors from the Post-1997 Directors Association, it gradually declined after only making a few movies. It did not play the originally envisioned role of saving the market at all. What is the point of this?
Hehe laughed heartily a few times, Xiao Ran glanced around again, and then said calmly: "I think there should be a more detailed explanation or more detailed responsibilities and obligations in this regard. For example, is our production company
We should plan the proportion of production themes each year. I think this is very important. The secret of market coordination lies in this."
"Hey, why is it you?" A voice came to everyone's ears. Xiao Ran met the fat man sitting among the people outside the hotel. Xiao Ran didn't notice it for a moment. The fat man was very surprised and said with contempt: "You
Who is this, and what qualifications do you have to dictate things here!"
Xiao Ran sweated again. He didn't expect that this fat man was actually from the film industry, and he didn't expect that someone didn't know him, and he was an insider. The fat man was obviously despised by everyone. Now who doesn't know that Xiao Ran is an absolute
A new upstart. Recently, Xiao Ran has become more popular than some big stars, but he actually doesn't know this fat man.
Maybe someone told the fat man about Xiao Ran's identity. The fat man was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered Xiao Ran. He even slapped the table and said angrily: "You have only been in the industry for a long time. Everyone here is your senior. Why do you think so?"
Talk here!"
Xiao Ran sweated even more. He didn't expect that this fat man could survive in the film industry. It was a miracle. However, he didn't know what this fat man was, and he couldn't be the target of him anyway.
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise!" The director glared at the fat man and cursed in his heart, "This Wang Guiyi will cause trouble, and he doesn't even look at who Xiao Ran is. Are you the one who offended me? Think about it."
Thinking about it, he knocked on the table and said to Xiao Ran: "Boss Xiao, everyone has decided on this matter, so don't cause more trouble. As for Boss Wang, he doesn't know you, so don't embarrass him!"
"It doesn't matter, if a dog bites me, I will never bite it back!" Xiao Ran shrugged casually and mocked him casually. His words immediately made everyone burst into laughter, and the fat man was so angry that he wanted to curse back,
But he was severely punished by the director.
In fact, Xiao Ran didn't want to be so arrogant. He knew that what he just said was too sharp and not like his usual person. However, he knew better that there was no need to be polite to such a small character, otherwise, everyone could
He was riding on his head. However, he did not realize that his personality was gradually changing and he became more interested in interests.
Xiao Ran was extremely disappointed with this film association meeting. There was nothing from the crap film association. It didn't realize the future crisis at all and only focused on carving up the market. His proposal was originally a good one.
But he was deliberately ignored by everyone, which really disappointed him.
"Damn it, you are such a fool, you only care about making small money!" Xiao Ran left Lijing with Wei Dongling and Guan Xin, and cursed: "If you don't listen to me, you will be killed by this market sooner or later!"
When Wei Dongling and Guan Xin looked at each other in shock, Xiao Ran waved his hands angrily: "If this continues, it will be over sooner or later. I will definitely get a position in the Film Association where I can talk!"
However, even though he was angry because of those fools, he still had no choice but to accept this cruel reality. Because he knew very well that Phantom currently did not have the strength like Jiahe, and did not even have the influence of some medium-sized companies.
He was able to attend this meeting because most people probably gave him the face of the name, not because of the Phantom.
Half a month later, the box office reached 20 million. Xiao Ran waved his hand and decided to hold a celebration party with a smile. In the past, he ran for others to hold the party, but now it was his turn to enjoy it himself.
At the celebration banquet, Phantom Company invited all the company's contracted artists and filmmakers, and of course, reporters. Xiao Ran raised his wine glass with a happy look on his face, looked at the people around him, and shouted: "For our
Cheers to success, cheers to the success of the company, cheers to all of us!”
"Do it!" Everyone drank the wine in excitement, accepted the reporter's photo together, and then talked about their own affairs.
Xiao Ran came to Fang Ruohai and Fang Ruoxin and said with a smile: "Isn't it very pleasant? There will be many more happy banquets like today!"
"Do you know what brother was saying to me just now?" Fang Ruoxin's behavior was very strange. Every time she went to public places, she became very polite. Now is no exception. She looked at Xiao Ran with attachment: "Brother just said
He said he was right about you, you are indeed very talented and you earned him more than 10 million in just one movie!"
"Really?" Xiao Ran raised his cup and touched Fang Ruohai, who was smiling silently, and drank all the water in the cup: "You made a profit on this transaction, you really made a profit. Now I am regretting why I went with
You cooperated, you are so smart."
Xiao Ran did regret it. He shouldn't have cooperated with Fang Ruohai. In fact, he should have thought of it. Although there are many film companies in Hong Kong that are like leather bag companies, they only have empty shelves, but Xiao Ran is different. He only needs to get the first one.
Once an investment is profitable, it can inject a large amount of capital into the company.
Judging from the profit situation of "God of Gamblers", Xiao Ran didn't even need a second investment before he was fully capable of investing on his own. He lost money on this transaction. The loss was too big, which meant that he wasted his future money for no reason.
It was given to Fang Ruohai.
This can only be blamed on him being too eager to find funds at the time. He didn't expect that he had other options. Moreover, he didn't know much about business matters at all, so no wonder he lost money. However, since Xiao Ran has experience, from now on
There won't be any mistakes like this.
"To be honest, you really lost a lot on this deal!" Fang Ruohai laughed. He didn't expect that Xiao Ran could have such great ability. This completely exceeded his expectation: "I think you will
When doing business, you should probably pay attention to these issues and don’t fall into other people’s traps! This is my advice to you!”
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. In business, there are always losses and gains. The key is to learn a lesson and don't do it again next time. One of his hands gently squeezed Fang Ruoxin's hand and gently attached it.
In her ear: "Are you feeling bored? Don't come here next time!"
The two Fang Ruoxin brothers were indeed boring. Fang Ruoxin's reputation in the circle was so bad that even Fang Ruohai was implicated. Almost no one had anything to do with them. Fang Ruoxin glanced at Xiao Ran: "It's okay, someone seems to be looking for you!"
Xiao Ran turned around and looked over, and saw Lin Qingxia's eyes turned away hastily. There was still a strange light in her eyes, and her heart twitched slightly. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then
Look at the person coming.
It was Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei who came. Xiao Ran frowned slightly. He knew Liu Zhenwei's purpose, but Wang Jiawei couldn't arrange it. He found a place to sit down. Liu Zhenwei knew that Xiao Ran liked to be more straightforward, so he quickly revealed his purpose: "
Aran, you see that Awei and I have rested for a long time, can you make some arrangements for us, we both want to do some activities!"
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. There are not many production businesses that the company can carry out now, so many filmmakers and artists have no work. Fortunately, Xiao Ran is open-minded enough to allow his artists and filmmakers who have signed film contracts to start work with other film companies.
Nothing happened.
However, this problem inevitably came up. Xiao Ran thought for a while, it would be better to take this opportunity to solve it together, and asked someone to call Du Qifeng and Chen Musheng over.
Seeing that they were all here, Xiao Ran rubbed his nose and said, "I know you have been idle for a while, but as you all have seen, the company has just started, and it is impossible to have too many movies for everyone. Moreover, the company is very strict.
It’s a high-quality movie, and it’s normal for one movie to last a year. So, it’s unlikely that you will make several movies a year here!”
"However, I am creating enough conditions for everyone to strive for excellence." Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "The equipment is all the most advanced, and the screenwriter can modify the script at any time. There is a loose enough creative environment. This is not the best.
Yes, but this is the best condition I can give everyone at the moment!"
"Don't blame me for giving the film to people outside the company. When the film is released, you will know that I am actually choosing the most suitable candidate!" Xiao Ran chuckled and looked at the silent directors: "Adu, this year
I will work hard to enable you to have a play, and Asheng, you can also have a play this year."
"As for Ah Wei, I think there will be a show for you in the second half of the year!" Xiao Ran almost shouted out the word "grape", and quickly warned himself: "As for Ah Wei, what kind of show do you want to play, please tell the script
Write it out and show it to me personally. There will be absolutely no restrictions on the subject matter. You can shoot whatever you want!"
"To put it simply, next year will be our biggest show!" Xiao Ran's confident look soon calmed down everyone's emotions: "Next year, each of you will have a show, and all of them will have a chance to win awards! However, everything
We haven’t made a decision yet, maybe it will happen soon and we don’t know.”
Xiao Ran's idea is not complicated. He plans to let Wang Jiawei film "Carmen in Mongkok" next year, while Du Qifeng will film "A Lang's Story", Chen Musheng will film "If There is Love", and Liu Zhenwei can film "The Gambler" this year.
The reason why it is next year is because Xiao Ran does not want those films to compete with "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Prison Story" and "God of Gamblers" and form a situation where he is fighting against himself. Not only does he want to praise Fa Ge as an unprecedented triple crown actor
, and also have to form a siege situation at the seventh and eighth Academy Awards to siege other companies' films. As long as he is given these two years, the company will have enough influence in the film industry.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to open a show for these talented people, but the time has not come yet. None of them have their own style at present, and some of them have not even been directors. Everything still needs a transition process, and there is nothing wrong with it.
It can be achieved quickly.
"I recently watched "God of Gamblers" and got an idea from it!" Liu Zhenwei frowned and tried to recall his idea: "I was wondering if this gambling movie could be developed into other genres? Later,
I read about special powers in the newspaper..."
"I understand what you mean..." Xiao Ran cut off Liu Zhenwei's words and said with a smile: "Special powers and gambling skills are a good subject. You can start preparing the script. Then hand over the script.
Wei Jiahui will review it, and then the screenwriting team will make more detailed changes. As long as it is feasible, the drama will be given to you!"
Liu Zhenwei was so shocked that the flesh on his slightly fat face was trembling. He did not expect that the idea he had inadvertently thought of would be explained by Xiao Ran. It seemed that Xiao Ran had already had such an idea. He suddenly felt that this person was very scary.
, or the talent is too amazing.
Of course, "The Gambler" must be there. Xiao Ran enjoyed it a lot, but it was a pity that no one shared with him the happiness that shocked Liu Zhenwei. With "The Gambler", "The Gambler" could not be let go. However, Xiao Ran
I don’t want to cast a series of gambling movies, which will lead to a large-scale follow-up. Therefore, "The Gambler", which made Zhou Xingchi famous in one fell swoop, is necessary, and "The Gambler" is not necessary for the time being. Anyway, Liu Hua does not need to rely on this film to make his fortune.
Become popular.
Thinking of this, he strolled to Zhou Xingchi and the other actors who were chatting with Zhang Min and the others, and casually asked if they were having a good time. He saw Liu Qingyun and Zhou Xingchi looking depressed at a glance. Xiao Ran knew why without thinking.
, suddenly burst into laughter, there is currently no work suitable for Liu Qingyun, which is a bit embarrassing.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ran had an idea. It would be better to let Liu Qingyun act in "The Ghost Mission". With a slight cough, everyone knew that Xiao Ran had something to say, and they all stopped and looked at Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran looked at the phantoms.
The contracted actor laughed. In fact, his team was already pretty good. It was just because of the size of the company that he didn't dare to start the show on a large scale.
