They were not in a hurry to return to Hong Kong immediately, but stayed in Prague for a few days. During these few days, they visited every place in Prague. This is a completely classical city, without huge neon signs or shiny lights.
The billboard is only green and the architectural style is completely preserved.
There are so many towers in Prague, so many that they can't even be counted. However, Xiao Ran and the others are not looking at the towers now, but admiring the famous St. John's Church. They took a tour and came out to look back at this absolutely classical charm.
In the majestic church, Xiao Ran leaned into Lin Qingxia's ear and smiled: "Do you like it here? Let's get married here in the future, okay?"
Even though they had already come together, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but feel a little shy when Xiao Ran suddenly said such words, but she didn't say anything. She just moved slightly closer to Xiao Ran. The two of them turned around and left the church...
The next day, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia returned to Hong Kong. After returning to Hong Kong, Xiao Ran remembered to call Brother Fa to inform him of his situation. Thinking that he had been with Qingxia these past few days, he completely forgot about it.
It was embarrassing to death.
He sent Lin Qingxia home and then returned to Xiaoyao's Nest. When Wei Dongling saw him coming, he jumped forward with excitement and punched him hard. Xiao Ran received Wei Dongling's punch and looked at Guan Xin in horror.
, for fear that Guan Xin would punch him and he would be doomed.
"What have you been doing these days?" As soon as they sat down, Wei Dongling couldn't help but ask: "You kid didn't even inform me, do you think I'm your friend?"
"Nothing, I just forgot for a moment, Prague is very beautiful!" Xiao Ran felt very happy when he thought that he and Lin Qingxia were walking together now, and he smiled and told them both what happened in the past few days.
"Prague is beautiful? I think Lin Qingxia is beautiful!" Wei Dongling couldn't help but tease. He was very happy for Xiao Ran who had found his true love: "However, he suddenly left a few days ago and the wedding was suddenly cancelled.
It became the most sensational news.”
After saying that, Wei Dongling brought a lot of newspapers to Xiao Ran. Each newspaper published headlines such as "A high-profile wedding fell through" or "A shocking engagement scandal" in a very conspicuous position to show how ridiculous the news was.
Because the news of repenting of the marriage was released by Fang Ruohai, public opinion did not have any bad comments about Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran carefully browsed the reports in newspapers and magazines. Basically, no one guessed the truth of the incident. At most, they guessed that Xiao Ran was manly and talented, and might be a playboy or something, so the Fang family regretted the marriage. Of course.
, everyone in the circle clapped their hands and applauded. None of them knew that Xiao Ran was a very well-behaved person, so there was no such thing as a playboy.
Wei Dongling, who understood the whole thing, scratched his head and asked: "Why did the Fang family rush to announce this news instead of saying that you wanted to regret the marriage?"
After browsing the newspaper, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He seemed to be a bit of a playboy. First he provoked Yang Wei and then Fang Ruoxin. Who knows what will happen in the future. Hearing that
He couldn't help but laugh at Wei Dongling's question: "You still have to say this? Of course I am so vague for the sake of face. Fortunately, Fang Ruohai is not a bad person and knows that saying this will affect his reputation. Otherwise, Fang Ruoxin will definitely say that she dumped me.
.”
"By the way, on the third day after the wedding, Fang Ruohai announced that the financial investment company was bankrupt, and his contract with our company was terminated!" Wei Dongling's expression became much more serious. He didn't know what Fang Ruohai had done.
But it is not very difficult to fake bankruptcy. Now he wants to know what Xiao Ran thinks.
"I expected it!" He had indeed thought about it a long time ago. After this incident, Fang Ruohai, who had always loved his sister, would never be able to cooperate with him. The termination of cooperation was inevitable. The reason why he had to stay in Prague for so many days
God, there is no lack of intention to avoid the Fang brothers and sisters and give them enough time to return to the United States.
Xiao Ran sighed. He didn't blame Fang Ruohai. He even felt that Fang Ruohai didn't take the opportunity to harm him, which was already very interesting. Things like the groom not showing up at the wedding should not be played out with great fanfare on TV, but if it were changed,
In reality, it is absolutely a lifelong shame for anyone.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Ran even felt that it was a blessing from God that Fang Ruohai did not hire a professional killer to kidnap him to vent his anger on Fang Ruoxin. However, when he thought about it carefully, his thoughts gradually relaxed.
In fact, it is not a bad thing for Fang Ruohai to terminate the contract by pretending to be bankrupt. The money earned by Phantom Company in the future can be put into his own pocket, and there is no need to distribute it to others. If it were another film company, maybe it would have to be done
Financing is used to reduce risks, but Xiao Ran does not need it, because his knowledge tells him which films will succeed and which ones will fail.
"The God of Gamblers' share has been paid to Fang Ruohai, so the company currently only has 20 million in funds!" Wei Dongling regretted a little. If he had known better and posted the account later, he might have made a lot of money in vain: "Fang
Ruohai was really smart, he was able to fake bankruptcy right after the 50 million account was handed over to him."
Fang Ruohai's investment in Xiao Ran so far was only 20 million, but the income was 50 million, which doubled in just a few months. It was really profitable to make a movie. Wei Dongling glanced at Xiao Ran who was deep in thought
One glance: "The two brothers and sister have returned to the United States, leaving nothing behind! However, I really don't understand, he shouldn't have left like this!"
Xiao Ran understood what Wei Dongling meant, which meant that Fang Ruohai had no reason not to play Xiao Ran to death. But although Xiao Ran didn't want such a thing to happen, he still noticed this anomaly. From all aspects, even if it was just
Speaking of Fang Ruohai's love for his sister, there was no reason for Xiao Ran to hurt Fang Ruoxin without retaliating.
Xiao Ran thought that he would need to be careful in the future. Maybe Fang Ruohai was staring at him from somewhere. Suddenly something occurred to him and he asked quickly: "A Dong, is there anything that needs money now?"
"It's the video tape you talked about last time. The money hasn't been spent yet, but I really don't understand. The profit from it is not big, why do you need to do it yourself?" Wei Dongling's vision is certainly very sharp.
, but some things are still not as good as Xiao Ran.
"Very good, let's stop temporarily and sell the video tape distribution and production copyright to the next party. It will only be sold for two years!" Xiao Ran nodded. This copyright cannot be sold for too long. After all, the video tape will be sold in a few years.
It became very popular: "We have to save the money for turnover. When the next two films are released, we can start working on this!"
If Xiao Ran didn't know how VCD was made, who made it, or even when it was made, then he would have to get involved. Thinking of the stock market crash at the end of the year, Xiao Ran thought it might be time to do something
get ready.
That day, Liang Jiabao received news from somewhere. He actually knew that Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were back, so he quickly came to interview Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran looked at this reporter with an extremely sensitive sense of smell and admired him to the extreme. He felt
Liang Jiabao definitely has the potential to be a paparazzi.
However, Liang Jiabao is a special correspondent for several publications, which is enough to show his identity and ability. Liang Jiabao saw through Xiao Ran's helplessness, and comforted him with a smile: "Aran, this time you are better off benefiting others than me.
Say it!"
Of course Xiao Ran knew what Liang Jiabao wanted, he smiled helplessly, rubbed his nose and said: "I really have nothing to say about this matter, it doesn't matter if you think of me as a playboy!
"
Two days later, Guan Xin finally began to fulfill his duties as a master and began to teach Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran to practice kung fu. However, this was really hard work. Think about it, you need to get up early every day to run and kick wooden poles to train.
, that can simply make people cripple.
A few days later, Huang Zhan called and asked Xiao Ran to go to his home. When he went to Huang Zhan's home, he didn't meet Lin Yanni. Huang Zhan said to Xiao Ran with a smile: "A Ran, you promised to be my disciple last time. Now...
I happen to be free for a while, so I took the opportunity to find you to teach!"
Remembering what he promised at the Academy Awards, Xiao Ran complained bitterly. He had never thought about learning music or anything like that. It was completely unnecessary. What did he learn to do? Did he, the boss, really let him do it himself?
It's impossible to score a film.
"Writing lyrics is a very simple thing, but it is by no means simple." Huang Zhan's expression suddenly turned serious, but he took it very seriously: "Don't be like the current lyrics, which are always about love and love.
Not a wise decision."
"But, Uncle Zhan, I really never thought about learning to write lyrics!" Xiao Ran wanted to refuse, but when he saw Uncle Zhan's eyes widening, he immediately changed his tune: "I think if I still want to learn, I might as well learn how to compose music from you.
And the ability to score music!”
"It's all the same. In short, if you want to write good lyrics and make good music, you need to read a lot of books!" Huang Zhan nodded, lit a cigarette and said, "When you have enough cultural accomplishment and accumulation,
When you need it, you can quickly extract what you need!"
Xiao Ran shrank his head helplessly. He was definitely not good at composing lyrics, and he was not necessarily good at composing music. The only thing that had hope was perhaps the soundtrack. He had always admired the soundtracks of those top masters.
.
Movie songs and movie soundtracks are the essence of a movie. A typical example is undoubtedly "Stealing Hearts". The music at the beginning and end of that Hollywood independently produced art film is definitely the essence of the whole film. Just listen to it and you will know
I experienced the essence of the entire film.
However, compared to movie songs, movie soundtracks are undoubtedly much more important. However, the current Hong Kong film industry does not pay much attention to movie soundtracks, but movie songs are very important.
If we talk about movie soundtracks, the typical one is the scene in "PTU" where Simon Yam and several other police officers go upstairs. The erratic music perfectly conveys the camaraderie that the film is about, and it matches the film almost perfectly.
The bus scene in "Dark War" is even more romantic and charming precisely because of that soundtrack.
After listening to Huang Zhan's talk for a long time, Xiao Ran finally couldn't help but ask a question: "Uncle Zhan, I think there are many ways to choose movie soundtracks. For example, for a classical martial arts movie, you can choose a very vigorous classical soundtrack, which will match the
The video goes together perfectly!”
"You can teach me!" Uncle Zhan nodded proudly. He had indeed read Xiao Ran correctly: "However, you have to pay attention to the fact that the soundtrack effects produced by various musical instruments are very different. Moreover, the rhythm must be different.
If you grasp it well, the whole thing must be tied to the theme of the film, so that the soundtrack can become more powerful!"
Xiao Ran thought of the soundtracks of many films and had to say that he was convinced. Uncle Zhan was indeed one of the four great talents. However, Uncle Zhan did not expect that it would not take long for electronic soundtracks to occupy the mainstream soundtrack market.
, by then purely instrumental soundtracks will basically no longer exist.
Thinking of this, he felt deeply sad. This skill of pure instrumental music cannot just disappear. He thought that if possible, it would be best to find some smart people to come here to learn as soon as possible. Otherwise no one will be able to match him in the future.
When music like Canghai Yiyixiao comes out, he will regret it.
The company's affairs were very stable, and Xiao Ran didn't need to worry about anything. When he was in Zama that day, he saw someone sending a letter to Guan Xin. Guan Xin took the letter and entered the room. Xiao Ran couldn't help but wonder
It's just out of curiosity. Sometimes there are quite a lot of letters from Guan Xin, but every time I avoid reading them, as if there is some secret.
Moreover, Xiao Ran heard Wei Dongling say that during the few days he went to Prague, Guan Xin disappeared for a few days before returning. Xiao Ran's curiosity about this half-master, half-bodyguard Guan Xin was almost killing people.
Guan Xin returned to the room, read the letter, and found a very ordinary book. He compared it with the book. Then he put the words he found together, and the message he got made him very excited.
surprised!
This very mysterious letter was an instruction for Guan Xin to stay with Xiao Ran and observe this person. Guan Xin was very surprised because the reason why he wanted to be Xiao Ran's bodyguard in the first place was just because he needed to hide his identity for a while.
, and secondly, Xiao Ran is very pleasing to the eye.
In a report to his superiors, he mentioned Xiao Ran, and also mentioned Xiao Ran's favorable impression of the current Chinese government and his certain tendencies. He originally thought he had another mission this time, but he didn't expect that he was asked to continue.
Staying by Xiao Ran's side as a bodyguard really made him feel strange.
Guan Xin didn't know what the senior officials were thinking. In fact, according to his understanding, this was not something he could have imagined. After the Chinese government settled the Hong Kong issue, it has always paid close attention to Hong Kong's criticism of the mainland.
. Obviously, Western countries have exaggerated the mainland into a big villain, and everyone knows their attitude towards villains.
Therefore, the government needs forces that can speak for the mainland and speak out the true situation on the mainland, so that Hong Kong citizens should not continue to think that the mainland is like that. The influence of the entertainment industry is actually very great. Although Yindu Company is rich and powerful,
However, it lacks sufficient influence because many people are aware of its political stance.
*****
Yindu Institutional Film Company
This was the merger of some pro-communist film companies in Hong Kong in the early years after experiencing the recession. The person in charge of the Yindu Agency was appointed by the mainland government, and movies filmed in the mainland can be shot and distributed directly without script review.
, it is completely conceivable that Yindu is actually a pawn of the Chinese government in Hong Kong. It has actually invested in and produced many good films in the past twenty years, but it is difficult to list them all.
