His eyes swept around and stopped at Liu Qingyun. Xiao Ran nodded to him: "Qingyun, there will be a play for you in a while. Are you interested in the male lead?"
"Really?" Liu Qingyun swept away his depression. He had been coming to Phantom for a while, but he still had no success. It was not as good as the days when he at least had a supporting role in Wireless. But then again, most of Xiao Ran's
The artists are all from TVB. Fortunately, this has no impact. Xiao Ran only requires that their contracts be terminated as soon as their contracts are up and they will no longer sign with TVB.
"Of course it's true, otherwise I can still make fun of you?" Xiao Ran smiled easily. It was actually very interesting to meet such a young Qingyun. However, what is more interesting is that Liu Qingyun's days at Wireless were really not very good.
Fortunately, I actually played "Ruhua" in Liang's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron".
Xiao Ran thought about it again and at least took out the script. He quickly raised his head to look for Wei Jiahui and waved to him. When he came over and sat down, Xiao Ran asked: "Xiaobao, I have a ghost now."
The idea of the film, you go back to work at the company tomorrow and find a screenwriter to make this film, it must be good!"
"School of Ghosts" originally starred Xu Guanying and Zhang Xueyou, Xu Guanjie's brother, and was directed by Liu Zhenwei. It seems that Wang Jiawei wrote the screenplay for this film. Both of them also played guest roles as police officers in the film, which would be a good choice for the future sunglasses king.
Definitely a rare opportunity to make an appearance.
However, now that Zhang Xueyou is from Xinyi City, Xiao Ran has no reason to praise him, so it is very suitable to praise Liu Qingyun. After telling Wei Jiahui the general plot, he still couldn't believe the current screenwriter, and couldn't help but tell him: "The idea is roughly
That’s it, but the plot and details must be done well, I don’t want rough works!”
"Okay, don't worry!" Wei Jiahui chuckled: "Don't you still trust the screenwriters you taught? I bet they are already very good at this aspect. Of course, they are still not as good as you!"
"Fuck you, by the way, how have you been recently?" Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to open a drama for Wei Jiahui: "If you want to open a drama, just ask!"
"It's better not to give it up. I think I need to accumulate some experience. For now, I can just do a good job in the review work here!" Wei Jiahui looked at Xiao Ran calmly and said, "Besides, I'm still at Wireless and haven't terminated my contract, so I can still take your money.
I don’t feel comfortable sharing it with them!”
This rule of TVB is known to the whole Hong Kong, which is not surprising. Xiao Ran thought of Zheng Yuling, a great actress, and felt a pity. After talking for a while, he turned his attention to Zhou Xingchi, who has always been eager to act:
"Xingzi, the second half
There is very likely to be a drama that wants you to be the leading actor next year. After the script is given to you, you must think about it carefully. If you want to be a blockbuster and if you want to tell others that your study of acting skills is useful, then do it well. I think highly of you.
, it will definitely be a big hit!”
The future Master Xing was so excited that he couldn't even say a word. He just moved his lips, wishing to say a few words of thanks to Xiao Ran, but he didn't say anything. When Xiao Ran saw it, he was filled with emotion and comforted him repeatedly.
: "Xingzi, don't say thank you. I just hope that you will become famous in the future and don't forget about the company!"
Looking at the other actors staring at Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran suddenly became depressed. They all seemed to be eager to act. Only Wu Junru couldn't help but speak. As expected, she was quite similar to the image on the screen.
: "Boss, when will you give me a role to play?"
"Let me think about it..." Xiao Ran only thought for a moment and then smiled. Didn't she happen to be in the show "The Gambler"? "In this case, in the play I just mentioned, Zhang Min will be the female lead. You
Just be the second female lead, don’t worry, there will be a show for you in the future!"
After appeasing a group of actors, Xiao Ran came to Lin Qingxia and said with a smile: "Qingxia, do you think the company's logo is well done?"
"It's very good. I didn't expect to be able to do this. I guess the company's logo is the best!" Lin Qingxia couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat when she saw Xiao Ran sitting next to her. There was another burst of pain. She had experienced it before.
I experienced the pain of love twice, but I didn’t expect to fall into another trap so quickly: “You seem to be very busy, always talking here and there!”
"I'm not too busy, but I don't have much time to spend with you. This is true. I'm sorry!" Xiao Ran apologized sincerely. Maybe he is the only one who doesn't know what he is thinking about Lin Qingxia now: "
I decided to make this logo the permanent logo of the company, do you think this is good?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as the company pays me the royalties anyway!" After Lin Qingxia said this, she couldn't help stroking her lips and laughing softly: "Also, I haven't played in a show for a long time, aren't you?
How about a play for me?"
"This..." Xiao Ran was stunned. He seemed to be particularly easy to ignore Lin Qingxia, but he also seemed to be particularly easy to care about her: "If you really want to, then I guess it should be okay!"
Xiao Ran has been imagining a love movie ever since Fang Ruoxin was asked to play the leading role. It is by no means plagiarized from any film, but is completely his own work. The content of the story is an emotional triangle drama, about hurt.
story
The story is that a man has a very beautiful and noble god-sister. The god-sister falls in love with the man, but the man falls in love with another woman who is somewhat like the god-sister. After the male protagonist gets married, the story begins.
He discovered that he was not in love with this woman, but this god-sister. It was just because he was afraid of the moral condemnation of society and the fear of tarnishing the perfect woman in his mind, so he subconsciously hid this idea and deceived himself.
The story is very simple, even clichéd, but the love stories that can touch people are often cliche and ordinary. This is a story about hurt. In this story, a wrong choice caused three people to be hurt by each other.
.Xiao Ran thinks this story is good, at least it is completely original to him.
Seeing Xiao Ran thinking, Lin Qingxia thought Xiao Ran was in trouble, and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, actually there's no rush!"
"No!" Xiao Ran rubbed his nose in embarrassment and explained, and then told Lin Qingxia the general story: "Actually, I think this story is promising, but the ending is not yet complete, and I have not found a suitable actor...
Ah, what’s wrong with you?”
Lin Qingxia was stunned when she heard the endless story told by Xiao Ran. Everything looked so familiar. Wasn't that god-sister her? Could it be that Xiao Ran was... Her eyes were instantly covered with moisture,
Maybe all this really came too easily, so easy that she couldn't believe it.
Staring at Xiao Ran's concerned eyes carefully, she gradually felt confused. Is this story true or false? She suddenly felt that reality and the movie converged at this moment. After clearing her mind, she finally asked
:"Why does this story have no ending?"
"The ending?" Xiao Ran shook his head. He originally wanted to write it as a tragedy, but there was always an impulse that drove him to write a happy ending. But this was not what he wanted, so he did not write the ending: "
I haven’t decided yet, and I don’t know how to end this story.”
Lin Qingxia's heart trembled slightly, and the look on her face was so distressing. She bit her lower lip and thought for a while, she really didn't know what to do, but suddenly she heard Xiao Ran murmur to himself: "Why don't you find someone?"
Will you personally work with me to write this ending?"
That's right! Why don't we work together to write the ending? Sometimes you may have to fight for it yourself. Thinking of this, the confusion in Lin Qingxia's eyes gradually disappeared, and she said softly: "Why don't you let me write the ending with you?
"
Xiao Ran was stunned! However, no one knew how the story would end, not even Xiao Ran. He suddenly felt that he would face many choices, and each choice would change the ending of the story.
After the banquet, Liang Jiabao made an appointment with Xiao Ran for an interview, and the two chatted slowly in the hotel room. Liang Jiabao was the reporter Xiao Ran was most familiar with in the media circle, and his words were not polite: "Ah
However, why do you think of using gambling as a theme? Aren’t you afraid that it will mislead the audience? Do you want to gamble or not?”
Xiao Ran smiled, rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't gamble. I always follow the principles of screenwriting and try to choose novel themes. Then I thought of gambling. I thought why gambling can't be expressed in the form of a movie? If
If you want to express it, how should you do it?”
"Finally, I thought, why not write about gambling as a very specific thing, just like the profession of journalists, why can't there be professional gamblers?" Xiao Ran admired himself for actually making it up as if it were true:
"So, I checked the information and found that there are actually professional gamblers. This became the center of this film. I wanted to create a legendary character and let gambling become an art in his hands.
That’s why I decided to make this movie!”
"As for whether it will teach the audience bad things, I think there is actually no need to worry about it." Xiao Ran smiled even brighter: "Most of the audience who entered the venue have the ability to self-control and think on their own. They have
We have enough ability to judge what is real. And if a film contains murder scenes and plots, it does not mean that we are encouraging the audience to kill people."
"You are so awesome!" Liang Jiabao didn't know whether he admired Xiao Ran's screenwriting ability or his tyranny when facing reporters: "However, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask, why can you write so many
of blockbuster movies? And none of them had a low box office!"
Xiao Ran's heart suddenly thumped, and he needed to deal with this problem properly. After thinking about it, he answered: "Actually, the script has always been the most important part of film production, and I just made it a little better.
I will try my best to make the subject matter interesting to the audience and make them feel that it is worth it. Of course, the most important thing is that the people I work with are all excellent directors and filmmakers, so that a good script can be put to good use."
"How did you feel when you were writing the script?" Liang Jiabao suddenly asked a very strange question.
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. There were not many scripts that he actually wrote, only the prequel to "A Better Tomorrow". It was difficult for him to describe the feeling of writing a script. However, when he thought about receiving applause and honors in the cinema, he knew the answer was
He said: "I think it is a kind of manipulation, as if at that moment, you are the God of this world, you use your hands to create all this, let people feel the joys and sorrows in your creativity!"
"Hand of God" - this is the word of praise Liang Jiabao used to describe Xiao Ran in the Ming Pao article on the third day. He mentioned the last paragraph Xiao Ran said in the article, and used this very exaggerated word to describe Xiao Ran.
Any compliments possible were given.
Hand of God soon defeated Xiao Ran's original title of 20 million screenwriters and became widely spread among the people. Even the circle gradually called Xiao Ran the Hand of God. Of course, it was just a nickname. However, Xiao Ran liked it very much.
With this nickname, this feeling is indeed very God-like.
The next day, Xiao Ran asked Wei Dongling to send red envelopes to everyone in the company and to the members who participated in the production of "God of Gamblers", and then went to the restaurant to meet with the film producers. In fact, the film producers had tried to negotiate with Xiao Ran to purchase the film a week ago.
It's just that Xiao Ran wanted these people to be nervous, so after a brief discussion, he deliberately delayed it until now.
In fact, it is definitely beneficial to delay it like this. Everyone has seen the box office numbers that are still rising linearly. This time he wants to meet with several film producers that Wei Dongling selected after finding out the details of the other party. This is also a basic decision.
The intention of cooperation.
Lin Guiyun is a Taiwanese film producer, one is the general agent for Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore, and the other is from South Korea. After arriving at the scene, he greeted the film producers, sat down and ordered drinks.
After a slow inspection, he said: "Phantom Company has just started. Thank you for your compliments. I also sincerely want to cooperate with you!"
After all, Lin Guiyun is a wily guy. Seeing Xiao Ran's opening remarks that were completely nonsense, his eyes flashed, but he remained silent. The Filipino film producer impatiently asked Xiao Ran through the translator (I won't mention translation later, everyone agreed): "
Boss Xiao, let’s talk about buying movies!”
What does maturity mean? Xiao Ran feels that he is too mature now, and he thinks that maybe sometimes he should pretend to be younger. After pondering for a moment, he said to everyone: "These are all famous local film producers, and we are invited this time."
We came together to discuss the purchase of the film in detail. Please tell me what plans you have..."
*****
Next, the public version may have to adjust its speed. This period will not last long. We hope for everyone's understanding and support.
