In fact, what Zhang Ran said is half-true and half-false, and many of them are still his ideas and have not been realized. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Xingchi is not stupid, and he doesn't fully believe Zhang Ran's words, but one thing he knows is that cooperating with Zhang Ran can get more benefits with the help of Zhang Ran and Nortel's connections.

The encounters between "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu" made Zhou Xingchi understand that the mainland entertainment industry is not easy to mix, so he needs a collaborator with good character, and Zhang Ran and Nortel are undoubtedly the best choices.

Zhou Xingchi smiled: "Teacher Zhou, it sounds a little unaccustomed. ”

"When I first became a teacher, I wasn't used to it, but I got used to it. Zhang Ran patted his head, "I almost forgot, in addition to asking you to be a teacher this time, I also want to talk about Huang Shengyi's contract." She's on an eight-year contract with Starlight, right?"

"Yes!" Stephen Chow replied affirmatively.

"I want to buy her brokerage contract. Zhang Ran said.

"Then how can we do it, we finally made her popular, how can we let her go?" Stephen Chow's face sank, Huang Shengyi was popular by himself, but Zhang Ran wanted to poach her, it was too deceitful.

"You are a very good director, but after all, there is only one person, and Xinghui's output is too small, and there is only one drama in two or three years. Xinghui lacks connections in the mainland, and it is difficult for Huang Shengyi to receive good scripts and good roles, which is not conducive to her development. The actress's acting career is very short, and it will be ruined if she doesn't get a decent opportunity in two or three years. Zhang Ran said very seriously, "Isn't it easy for a director like you to hold a vase?"

Stephen Chow glared at Zhang Ran, very unhappy: "Since you are so optimistic about her, why didn't you sign her in the first place?"

Zhang Ran shook his head: "I haven't signed an actor before, and I won't sign in the future, and I won't do business related to artist management." My girlfriend Zhang Jingchu's contract is all in Rongxinda, and she hasn't even signed it, let alone anyone else. I don't think it's a good thing that film and television and brokerage business are mixed together, film and television production companies run brokerage companies, and they are easily restricted when selecting actors, and they generally give priority to the company's artists, rather than taking suitability as the first consideration, which is not a good thing for movies. Hollywood has done a better job of this, and I think we should learn from Hollywood. ”

Zhou Xingchi looked at Zhang Ran in front of him, very puzzled: "She is your lover?"

Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head: "No, she is my student." ”

Zhou Xingchi looked at Zhang Ran, he could see that Zhang Ran was not lying, so he was even more puzzled: "Why do you do so much to a student?"

Zhang Ran smiled indifferently: "Now in the mainland, not only in the mainland, but also in Xiangjiang, young people are particularly serious in Hari, Ha and Han, and they feel that Japan and South Korea are particularly fashionable." Why is it Ha Ri Ha Han, because our fashion and trends follow the ass of Japan and South Korea. A clothing style first appeared in Fashion Week, two or three months later Europe and the United States began to flow, more than half a year later Japan and South Korea began to become popular, and a year later it began to become popular in China. Young people like to chase trends the most, and our pop culture follows Japan and South Korea, so it is not surprising that Ha Ri Ha Han is following. But why should we follow the ass of Japan and South Korea? Why can't we take the concept back from Fashion Week and package our stars? If we go faster than Japan and South Korea in terms of fashion, how many people will be able to do it? Huang Shengyi They were brought out by me, and I dare not say anything else, at least they will not chase Japan and South Korea in terms of dressing up. One or two may not change anything, but what if there are one or twenty? If we have a large number of better-looking and more fashionable stars than Japan and South Korea, and there are more sophisticated film and television works than Japan and South Korea, who will be the one at that time?"

Zhou Xingchi nodded slightly, he understood what Zhang Ran was going to do, but he didn't understand why Zhang Ran did it: "What's in it for you to do this?"

Zhang Ran did not answer positively: "In the first half of this year, George Lucas donated $175 million to the USC Film School, of which $75 million was used to rebuild the film school. Maybe many people don't understand why he is donating so much money, but I understand what he is doing. Lucas loves movies, and his industrial light and magic can't do without Hollywood. Only with the healthy and sustainable development of the Hollywood film industry can ILM achieve better development and make more money. USC is the most closely integrated with the Hollywood system, and Lucas invests the money in USC, and the school continues to provide excellent talents, thus ensuring the sustainable development of the whole Hollywood, and Lucas and his industrial light and magic can get more profits.

What I am doing now, whether it is establishing the Asian Film Academy or helping Huang Shengyi, is to cultivate the market. We have a population of 1.3 billion, and if we can cultivate the market so that all audiences can watch domestic movies, we have our own stars. Even if a movie is watched by 100 million viewers, the ticket price is 30 yuan, and that is still a box office of 3 billion! Think about your "Shaolin Football" and your "Kung Fu", if they are both 3 billion box office, how much will you make?"

Zhou Xingchi calculated slightly, and his saliva almost fell out, if the box office of "Kung Fu" could reach 3 billion, he would be able to divide hundreds of millions! Now he completely understood what Zhang Ran was doing, but he shook his head with a smile: "There are too few visionaries in Xiangjiang films, if everyone could see the long-term, maybe they would not have fallen into the current situation." I only thought about fishing, I didn't know how to raise fish, and I ended up catching all the fish!"

Zhang Ran did not comment on this, the lack of foresight of filmmakers is only one of the reasons for the decline of Xiangjiang films, but the most fundamental thing is that the local market of Xiangjiang is too small to support the huge film industry. The same is true for Korean films, Korean films established their own industries before Zhang Ran's rebirth, but because the local market is not large enough, it is difficult for Korean films to make Hollywood-scale blockbusters, and the market determines the upper limit of the Korean film industry.

The only one that really has hope of carrying the banner against Hollywood is China, but only if a complete film industry is established!

Zhang Ran didn't want to have an in-depth discussion on this issue, looked at Zhou Xingchi, and said, "Let's get down to business, how about the termination of the contract?"

Stephen Chow likes Zhang Ran and plans to cooperate with Zhang Ran, but he can't be cheap Zhang Ran in terms of money, so he said: "Actually, we have a detailed training plan for Huang Shengyi, as soon as she terminates the contract, all our efforts will be in vain, pay 6 million termination money, and the person will be yours!"

Zhang Ran didn't believe that Xinghui had a training plan for Huang Shengyi, but he didn't break it, as long as he agreed to terminate the contract, he bowed and saluted: "No problem, it is appropriate to pay the termination fee." ”

The termination of the contract was quickly negotiated, but it was impossible to sign the contract now. This time, Huang Shengyi did not come, and Zhang Ran did not bring a lawyer. However, Zhang Ran had already told Li Xiaowan that Rong Xinda would accept Huang Shengyi's brokerage business, so the next thing was Li Xiaowan's business.

After talking about Huang Shengyi's termination of the contract, the topic of the two returned to the movie. Zhang Ran and Zhou Xingchi are both people who love movies very much, and they are also people who have great ideas about movies, and this time they have the best communication partners. The two talked about Xiangjiang movies, Hollywood movies, mainland movies, and their own movies, and they couldn't stop talking about it, and they felt like they were late when they saw each other.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Xingchi's secretary came in and asked them if they wanted to eat something, Xiangjiang has a habit of drinking afternoon tea.

As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Zhou Xingchi stood up and said, "Zhang Ran, I invite you to afternoon tea." As he spoke, he immediately took out a hundred Hong Kong dollars from his purse and handed it to the secretary and said, "For the two of us, remember to give change!"

Zhang Ran almost didn't laugh out loud, the door-picking commander in "Domestic Lingling Paint" really has a prototype, and they all say that Zhou Xingchi picks the door, and it is really enough!

Afternoon tea was soon delivered, and the two chatted while eating, and continued to talk about the movie.

When it was time to get off work, Zhou Xingchi still seemed a little unsatisfied, and the conversation with Zhang Ran brought him a lot of inspiration. However, he had to hold back the topic, looked at Zhang Ran, and said expectantly: "I'll invite you to dinner!"

It is said that Zhou Xingchi slammed the door, and now that he took the initiative to invite himself to dinner, Zhang Ran naturally wanted to give face: "Then I'm welcome!"

It's a bit troublesome to eat with Zhou Xingchi, his fame is too great, and the paparazzi in Xiangjiang are very powerful, in order to avoid being secretly photographed, Zhou Xingchi asked the driver to take Zhang Ran, and he himself put on a mask and hat and rode a bicycle to the restaurant.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Xingchi greeted Zhang Ran very generously and ordered Zhang Ran, asking Zhang Ran not to be polite. Zhang Ran was really not polite, it was rare to have a chance to slaughter Zhou Xingchi, so he naturally wanted to go under the knife, so he ordered a few expensive dishes.

But when the two of them had eaten about the same, Zhou Xingchi patted his pocket and said with an innocent face: "I forgot to bring my wallet!"

Zhang Ran patted his head, many people said that Zhou Xingchi often didn't bring a wallet when he invited guests, why did he forget it. He stared at Zhou Xingchi and winked: "You are a frequent visitor here, can you hang the account?"

Zhou Xingchi hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not a regular customer, I'm not familiar at all!"

Zhang Ran pinched his chin and asked, "What if I don't bring my wallet?"

Zhou Xingchi's face was full of a prank-prone smile: "It's impossible for you not to bring your wallet, if you don't bring your wallet, how can you take the car?"

Zhang Ran began to rub his stomach: "Alas, my stomach is uncomfortable, I want to go to the bathroom!"

Zhou Xingchi stood up, looked at Zhang Ran and said, "The bathroom is difficult to find, you definitely can't find it, I'll go with you." ”

Zhang Ran raised his hand and surrendered: "Count you ruthless, I will invite you to this meal today!"

When Zhou Xingchi heard Zhang Ran say this, he was immediately happy and patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder: "That's right, you poached all the Huang Shengyi, you should have invited me, next time I will invite you!"

It turned out to be for Huang Shengyi's matter, and after a little revenge on himself, Zhang Ran also laughed: "Forget it, I'll invite you next time!"

Zhou Xingchi looked at Zhang Ran and said with a smile: "You are so interesting, you are not angry at all! I like you more and more!"

Zhang Ran said very seriously: "Because you regard me as a friend, if you don't treat me as a friend, you won't engage in this kind of prank! Since you regard me as a friend, then I must also treat you as a friend, and there is nothing to worry about having a meal!"

Zhou Xingchi stared at Zhang Ran for a few seconds, hugged Zhang Ran's shoulders like an old friend, and smiled very brightly: "I really like you more and more!"

When Zhang Ran returned to the hotel, Zhang Jingchu also came back from shopping. According to the plan, after Zhang Ran is busy with Xiangjiang's affairs, he will go to France to shoot "Paris I Love You". Zhang Jingchu has not taken the play recently, nor has she received other announcements, so she happened to go to Paris with Zhang Ran to play, which was regarded as a vacation.

Today, Zhang Ran wanted to talk to Zhou Xingchi, and Zhang Jingchu had no interest in it, so she went shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui.

At this time, Zhang Jingchu saw Zhang Ran returning, turned around in front of him, and said proudly: "Zhang Ran, how about you look at this skirt?"

Zhang Ran circled around Zhang Jingchu, pinched his chin and said: "The sky blue printed dress is full of fresh taste, which makes people look refreshing and generous." The skirt is long, holding a thin chiffon, flowing and moving when walking, which looks very smart, especially suitable for you. Daughter-in-law, you're getting better at getting dressed!"

Zhang Jingchu originally felt good, but when she heard Zhang Ran say this, her heart was even more beautiful, and she kissed Zhang Ran on the face: "Thank you for the compliment!"

"This thank you gift is too little, isn't it?" Zhang Ran took the opportunity to hug Zhang Jingchu and kissed her on the lips. (To be continued.) )
