readx;? "Providence" is a long science fiction novel published in 04, the novel has not been officially published, "Science Fiction World" sent the manuscript to Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran did not hesitate at all, and directly won the copyright of the novel. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info because "Providence" was originally in Zhang Ran's plan, and it was the beginning of Zhang Ran's big IP plan.

"Providence" tells the story of an ancient alien spaceship that landed in the Bohai Sea, and the spacecraft was eroded by the sea, rendering it unusable. Aliens could not find the raw materials for repairing flying saucers on Earth, and discovered that the moon can cause space-time warping. So he came up with a way to fill in the sea area, and then roll the filled flat land back before the disaster happened, so that the ship could land on the flat ground, not in the Bohai Sea. In order to fulfill his plan, the aliens transmit civilization to humans and develop human abilities to help him reclaim the sea. However, this alien has a snake head and body, which is easy to cause rejection by humans. So he began to look for his own spokespeople, including Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang unified the world, but he didn't have the heart to help the aliens reclaim the sea, so the aliens found Han Xin. Han Xin, with the help of aliens, secretly Chen Cang swept through Jin Qi. However, after Han Shin learned about the aliens' plans, he found that if he helped the aliens achieve a reversal of time and space, then human civilization would also return to the starting point. So Han Xin caused a volcanic eruption caused a volcano by the shadow sword provided by the aliens, damaged the aliens' tools to control time and space, and damaged the Jiuding artifact used to help the emperor control the world, and used the aliens' time and space shuttle instruments to bring the girl Ji Jiang to the modern era two thousand years later, reminding modern people not to ruin human civilization because of helping aliens.

The story of "Providence" ends after Ji Jiang travels to modern times, but for Zhang Ran, this is the beginning of the superhero world he wants to build.

A few years before Zhang Ran's rebirth, American superheroes swept the world. Dozens of super IPs created by Marvel, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, etc., have been adapted into movies, games and downstream derivatives that have swept the world. Zhang Ran was thinking about a question, where are our superheroes? Can China have its own superheroes?

Of course, China has its own superheroes, and Monkey King is. So Journey to the West movies are one after another, and they are all making a lot of money. However, Monkey King is a mythological theme, and modern superheroes like Marvel have always been blank in China.

When Zhang Ran was bored, he would flip through online novels, and he found that there was a common organization in many urban fantasy novels - the Dragon Group, and there were even novels dedicated to the Dragon Group. Zhang Ran thought that the various abilities in the Dragon Group were actually similar to the superheroes in the Avengers, and they could be made into a series and made into Chinese superheroes.

Superheroes tend to have a super opponent, just like the Avengers' enemy Hydra, then the dragon group also needs a strong opponent. Zhang Ran thought of the conspiracy theories that were particularly popular on the Internet, lizardmen and Freemasonry. So, he designed a super rival for the dragons, the Jishikai, and the leader of this organization is the evil lizardmen. The reason why Freemasonry is not used is because the reality of Freemasonry exists, and the use of Freemasonry as an enemy is suspected of infringement.

After the lizardman was confirmed, Zhang Ran thought of the alien with a human head and a snake body in "Providence", and when the conspiracy of the Jishihui was linked to the conspiracy in "Providence", Zhang Ran's entire idea suddenly became very complete.

Zhang Ran's idea is like this, after Ji Jiang traveled to the modern era, he found that the alien and his minions had not disappeared, but had become more powerful, and even established a secret organization, Jishihui. Ji Jiang was soon targeted by the people of the Jishi Society, and was hunted down and killed by Peng Zu, and at the critical moment, the people of the fifth group of the secret service of the Ministry of State Security rescued Ji Jiang, and the code name of the fifth group of the secret service was the dragon group. With the help of the dragon group, Ji Jiang and the others fought a fierce battle with Peng Zu, killing him with great difficulty. In the end, Ji Jiang joined the dragon group and officially started the war between the dragon group and the Jishihui.

Of course, it is impossible to build the dragon group into a super IP like the Avengers in a short period of time, and it will take time to cultivate the audience. This process of cultivation can take five years or ten years.

And superheroes can't pass the review now, and when the film market rises, government departments will inevitably begin to loosen their restrictions, and at that time, Chinese superhero movies can really come out.

Until then, the story of the dragon group could only exist in the form of a TV series or an online series. In Zhang Ran's vision, the students of the Asian Film Academy enter their junior year, and the best two or three students will get the opportunity to make feature films, while the other students will shoot TV series, and the TV series is "Secret Service Group Five", or "Dragon Group". This drama is in the form of an American drama and is released once a year.

Of course, at the same time as the TV series, "Secret Service Group 5" will launch various cultural products such as comics, animations, dramas, games, peripheral creativity, etc. Zhang Ran hopes that through ten years of foreshadowing and ten years of brewing, the Dragon Group will be built into a super IP like the Avengers and a group of superheroes belonging to China will be launched.

Ding Sheng and the others all know Zhang Ran's plan, and they also know that the movie version of "Providence" is the story of Ji Jiang being hunted down by the Jishihui after he arrived in modern times, and it is the beginning of the Dragon Group series.

Since Zhang Ran intends to hand over the movie version of "Providence" to himself, it means that he is very optimistic about himself, Ding Sheng is short of breath, and he is indescribably excited in his heart: "Director, I will definitely change the script well, and I will definitely not let you down!"

Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, take your time, I have confidence in you!"

There is nothing wrong with the plot of Ding Sheng's script, the details need to be polished, and after discussing his script, everyone began to talk about Ning Hao's script again. Everyone talked about "Kikujiro's Summer", talked about "Midnight Running", and at the same time came up with ideas for Ning Hao's script. In the last life, starting from "People in Embarrassment", a large number of road comedies such as "Thai Embarrassment" and "Heart Flower Road" have appeared in China.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, everyone left the conference room and dispersed.

Zhang Ran knocked on the door of Wu Ruide's office: "Let's find a place to eat, how about it?"

Wu Ruide smiled: "Okay, I'm waiting for you to have a treat!"

The two drove to a high-end Chinese restaurant, asked for a private room, and chatted while eating and ordering good food.

Zhang Ran is more concerned about the acquisition of Golden Harvest, which involves a lot of related plans: "How is the acquisition of Golden Harvest?"

Wu Ruide briefly introduced the situation, the current market value of Golden Harvest is only 24 million Hong Kong dollars. The combined market value of the shares held by Zou Wenhuai is only more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars. The market value must be underestimated, Golden Harvest has theaters in places such as Heung Kong and Singapore, or hundreds of old movie copyrights, which are very valuable. After a simple evaluation of Golden Harvest's assets, Wu Ruide's acquisition team believes that Golden Harvest is still worth one billion.

After assessing the market value of Golden Harvest, Wu Ruide and they made the first offer to Zou Wenhuai, 150 million, to acquire the shares of Golden Harvest in Zou Wenhuai's hands. This starting price is not low, and it is certainly not high. Zou Wenhuai did not refuse, but returned a 400 million. There is negotiation in business, and the two sides have now entered the negotiation stage.

Zou Wenhuai is old, and he doesn't have the energy and vision to lead the quagmire of Golden Harvest Film Company back to life, and his family is not very concerned about Golden Harvest. During the period when Zou Chongheng replaced Zou Wenhuai in charge of Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest's stock price fell from more than 2 yuan per share to more than 2 cents.

At the beginning of this year, Golden Harvest announced that it had invested in a cinema in the mainland to enter the mainland cinema market, but it did not boost the stock price. Therefore, Zou Wenhuai had the intention of abdicating to make way for Xian. Of course, to take over Jiahe's company, on the one hand, he must give a price that he is satisfied with, and on the other hand, he is not a person who makes him hate.

After introducing the situation of Jiahe, Wu Ruide said with some emotion: "Zou Wenhuai is indeed a character, but he is too old, if he is twenty or thirty years younger, Jiahe will not be what he is now." He is the founder of Golden Harvest, and he doesn't want the company to be ruined in his own hands, and we have the ability to make Golden Harvest brilliant again, we are his best choice, I estimate that we can finally win Zou Wenhuai's shares at a price of about 250 million!"

Zhang Ran was relieved when he heard this: "Jiahe is very important to us, this matter must be finalized as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if there is more money or less, many of our plans to win Jiahe can be launched in advance." We've been building up this year, and next year it's time for us to do it. ”

Wu Ruide said: "I will speed up this matter!"

On the morning of October 15th, the students of Class 1 of 05 Biaoben gathered in the small theater of the Table Guide Building, in addition to the students of Class 1, Li Xinyue also brought the students of Class 2 to come. "Richard III" is a big play, involving a lot of characters, Zhang Ran's class alone is a student who can't complete this play, and some students need to be selected from class 2 to participate in the performance.

Zhang Ran looked at the students in front of him and said solemnly: "I believe everyone knows that on November 1st, we will have a competition with the 04th level of the drama to play "Richard III", so we will select some people from among you to play this play, and the students whose names I read will stand up!"

All the students present held their breath, and with excitement, they quietly pricked up their ears and waited for Zhang Ran to read the list of actors.

Zhang Ran's eyes swept over the students present and began to announce the list: "Richard is played by Chang Jirong, Edward is played by Huang Xuan, and Mrs. An is played by Lin Xiaolu......"

After the long list was read, some people cheered, and some people were disappointed. Nine of the ten students in Class 1 of Level 05 were assigned roles, and only Yang Fan was excluded. Yang Fan was very unwilling and asked, "Teacher Zhang, what about me?"

Zhang Ran glanced at Yang Fan: "If you don't participate in this performance, go back to the classroom and continue to practice basic skills!"

Yang Fan was a little angry, even if she didn't let me go to class with my classmates, she didn't even let herself participate in the performance, am I still a student in this class, she shouted loudly: "Teacher Zhang, I've been practicing for almost a month, why don't you let me participate?"

Zhang Ran's face sank, and he said coldly: "The reason? The reason is that your basic skills are not up to standard, and letting you go on stage will drag everyone back!"

Yang Fan was completely angry, pointed at Zhang Ran and shouted: "My basic skills are not up to standard? Are their basic skills up to standard? You touch your conscience and say, how many of them are stronger than me? You just look at me unpleasantly and deliberately target me!"

Zhang Ran suddenly laughed: "You're right, I just deliberately targeted you!"

"You!" Yang Mi's tears flowed out at once, and he was so aggrieved in his heart. What did I do wrong? Why did I do this to me? It's too bullying! She gritted her teeth and scolded: "Zhang Ran, you bastard, what's so great about you?" After scolding, Yang Fan ran out of the small theater crying.

Zhang Ran saw that everyone was looking at him, as if nothing happened: "Leave her alone, let me tell you about the play we are going to rehearse!" (To be continued.) )
