Chapter 122: Dragon Gate Inn

The underworld is different from Fang Ruohai, the latter understands what long-term interests are, but the underworld does not understand. Making movies is a good way to launder money, and it's also a good way to make quick money. Therefore, after they appear, they will definitely be crazy and shoddy, such a situation is definitely not what Xiao Ran wants.

The idea of suppressing the three film companies controlled by the underworld was thus determined by Xiao Ran, and as for the revenge of the three major associations, he had his own way to solve it. In fact, if they don't suppress it, as long as they are willing to abide by the rules of the film industry, Xiao Ran may not do this.

What makes Xiao Ran feel even more tricky is that even Fa Ge has the idea of making money regardless of quality, so what about other actors, other directors, and other filmmakers? This number must be extremely large, and he can even guess that many people are complaining that the company has too few plays.

The contracted artists and filmmakers of the special greeting company stayed, and after Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling sent the three giants away, they came to the stage with a grim face. Gently holding the microphone, looking at some bewildered eyes in the audience, a mocking smile gradually appeared on Xiao Ran's face, he really didn't know how many of them had the same idea as Fang Cai Fa Ge, or even worse.

Just imagine that Liu Hua took over more than a dozen films in his heyday, although some of them may be forced, Xiao Ran still thinks that very few of Liu Hua's more than 100 films can be regarded as masterpieces. If it weren't for Liu Hua's good popularity, diligence, and some classics, I'm afraid that it would be a problem if anyone would remember it in a few decades.

Xiao Ran does not require every actor to be clean and self-loving, after all, many actors have honed their acting skills in countless bad movies, and they all need to perform. But for actors like Zhou Xingchi and Fa Ge who have begun to become popular, or who are already very popular, they must limit self-control.

For such things, Xiao Ran has a very good way of understanding. If a director has always been able to direct blockbuster films, then the value of this person must have been rising in a straight line until it can no longer rise.

Actors are all the same, and there is an unwritten rule of the game in Hollywood: once an actor fails at the box office with three consecutive films, then it's time to cut his salary. Xiao Ran tried to be stricter, because he definitely didn't want the celebrities' salaries to be thousands of miles away, and it was absolutely necessary to control the stars.

His eyes swept the audience for a long time, and Xiao Ran's calm expression couldn't help but make the originally cheerful atmosphere heavy. After being silent for a long time, Xiao Ran set his sights on several actors who had become popular under the company's support, such as Zhang Min and Wang Zuxian and Wu Junru, as well as Liu Qingyun and Zhou Xingchi and others.

Aiming at them directly, Xiao Ran smiled faintly, but his tone was very slow to say word by word: "The company allows everyone to take on outside dramas because you all need to make money, and I need you to get enough acting experience!" ”

"Looking at it now, the situation is very good, some people are not playing in the company for the time being, but they can be outside through the company's recommendation and personal relationships." The gentle tone came to this, and the words suddenly changed, and the tone became extremely harsh: "However, I definitely don't want the actors who have become popular to continue to be as bad as ever, this is not the company's regulations, but it is my advice to everyone." ”

This sentence immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people in the audience, and everyone even set their eyes on Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Min, because these two people are the most popular in the company at present. Except for Lin Qingxia, of course.

"However, I haven't found such a situation yet, which is good!" Speaking of this, Xiao Ran smiled, but it quickly turned into a stern color: "But this doesn't mean that there will be no in the future, each of you will have the opportunity to become a first-line star in the future, you must pass this level of self-love, and cherish everything you have gained through several hard work!" ”

Lin Qingxia quietly stared at Xiao Ran on the stage who gradually made people unable to look at each other, and only felt that Xiao Ran had a very special charm at this moment, a kind of power and power that people did not dare to resist.

She suddenly found that Xiao Ran had changed more and more, from a seemingly naughty and lively young man to a mature charm, and also a maturity beyond his age. However, she still likes Xiao Ran's lively and cheerful side, she thinks maybe it was this side of the surname that attracted her in the first place, maybe because of Xiao Ran's unique charm of being young and mature.

Xiao Ran had no way of knowing how many people had heard his words, but he had done his best. If someone really commits this problem, Xiao Ran will try his best to save it, if it is really hopeless, he will definitely give up mercilessly, and then pick up other artists to replace him.

On the third day, he was about to go to Macau to start filming the new film "Dark Flower", so Xiao Ran spent the whole day in the office to deal with affairs. In addition to the final script review, he also has to decide whether to open it or not.

And he is now deciding on the production of "New Dragon Gate Inn" in order to carry out preliminary preparations. The task of production is not simple, and it is a small number of positions that follow from the early stage to the later stage. Not only did the producer have to determine the cast and crew, but he also had to carefully select each of the projects that needed to be sorted into the film, and then distribute the script to the set designer, as well as the cinematographers and props, as well as the transportation and costumes.

These people then calculate and determine how much money each project will cost and make a shooting plan. To put it simply, at least half of the profit or loss of a film is related to the producer.

Producing is a very hard job, and he took care of the entire crew's eating, drinking, and Lazar. And it has to follow from pre-production to post-production, and there is also a very important responsibility, which is to attract sponsors. Of course, for the Phantom, sponsorship is dispensable, but Xiao Ran still asked them to pull some advertisements as much as possible.

For such an important position, Xiao Ran did not dare to hand it over to a newcomer with complete confidence. Although there is no shortage of producers in the company, there is a lack of producers with sufficient experience. Xiao Ran believes that those new productions need to go through some experience before they can be reused. This time, he chose Chen Kexin.

After An Yuxuan notified Chen Kexin to come, Xiao Ran quietly thought about which actors should be finalized in advance. The heroine must be indispensable to Lin Qingxia, as for the role of Jin Xiangyu, Xiao Ran thought about it for a long time, and finally abandoned Zhang Manyu and chose Feng Fei'er.

It's an adventure, but it's not an adventure. "New Dragon Gate Inn" was released in 1992, and Zhang Manyu's acting skills had been affirmed at that time. But now Zhang Manyu is just a beautiful vase, instead of using vases from other companies, Xiao Ran should choose Feng Fei'er.

In terms of the actor, of course, Liang Jiahui, his contract with Yindu is about to be terminated, and with him, a relatively pro-Yanjing actor, it is easy to break through the psychological bottom line of the mainland. And the villain, Xiao Ran still chose Zhen Zidan, although he is not a signed artist of the Phantom Company at all.

However, it doesn't matter, considering that the spy is likely to find Zhen Zidan to star, and Xiao Ran expected that there were many films suitable for Zhen Zidan to star, so he called An Yuxuan in. only glanced at the smelly female secretary, Xiao Ran said lightly: "Ah Xuan, tell Mr. Wei and let him sign Zhen Zidan!" At least a two-year contract is required. ”

An Yuxuan glanced at the boss who continued to work with his head down, and the curiosity in his heart was indescribable. She had heard other employees of the company mention that Zhou Xingchi and Liu Qingyun were not known at all, but they were taken by the boss at a glance and thought that they had the potential to become popular. She was very curious about what kind of person this Zhen Zidan was, and he could be favored by the boss.

Xiao Ran didn't know An Yuxuan's thoughts, thought about it, and decided to choose Huang Zhan to do the soundtrack. As for photography, this time he finally stopped caring about the company's contracted photographers, but chose Huang Letai, and he found Zhang Shuping to do the art direction.

"New Dragon Gate Inn" cannot afford to be missed, this will become the first step of the new school of martial arts, so Xiao Ran tried his best to choose some behind-the-scenes lineups that were relatively more graspable. Thinking of this, I wrote down all the candidates I had finalized. After a while, Chen Kexin came.

Xiao Ran stood up, rubbed his tired waist, and sighed: "When people are old, they can't do it!" ”

Chen Kexin almost laughed, Xiao Ran is only in his twenties and dares to say that he is old. made a joke to relax the atmosphere, Xiao Ran gave him the script, and said seriously: "This book, to be doubly strict, absolutely not to be missed, the budget can be relaxed a little." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xiao!" Chen Kexin nodded, skimmed the script, and was slightly surprised.

"You go back and think about what to do!" When Chen Kexin walked to the door, Xiao Ran suddenly stopped him: "Ah Xin, do you want to be a director?" Do a good job, do a good job of this film, and allow you to start a drama next year. ”

The young Chen Kexin was inspired by Xiao Ran, and suddenly became excited, being a director is what he dreamed of. Seeing Chen Kexin leaving happily, Xiao Ran was happy, and he planned to open "A Tale of Two Cities" for Chen Kexin next year. However, he has to be a producer, he has already made many filmmakers go their own way in advance, in order to ensure that they do have enough ability, Xiao Ran thinks that it is very necessary to be a producer for new directors.

The director of "New Dragon Gate Inn" is Xu Ke, and he has already talked to Xu Ke about this matter a few days ago. As long as Xu Ke finishes the work in hand, he can start work immediately. Lei Kaitai has no opinion on this, anyway, the relationship between Xinyicheng and Phantom is so good, it is not a big problem to borrow it.

After finishing this matter, Xiao Ran asked An Yuxuan to bring a producer named Tian Tian and Chen Musheng to the company. This time, I calmed down and appreciated the script, and after browsing several scripts, Xiao Ran determined which one was necessary to start filming. Only then did I pick up the last notebook, which was Wang Jiawei's, and the cover was written with the four big characters of "Mong Kok Carmen".

It's finally here! Xiao Ran's smile gradually spread, 1988 is the most important year for the development of Phantom, and it must defeat the three major companies with absolute quality and quantity, so as to win the agency negotiation with Southeast Asia, and then achieve the goal of reversing the situation of the entire Hong Kong film.

In fact, he knew that he was already influencing the film industry, and the status of screenwriter was widely valued by other film companies because of his recognition as the number one screenwriter and director and the owner of the film company. Basically, Debao has begun to learn from Xiao Ran and start to set up a screenwriter signing system. Jiahe still can't let go of the posture of a large company to imitate the phantom, as for the new art city, it is very strong in terms of choreography and directing.

After taking some time to carefully read the script and making sure that it was no different from what he had read, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He has been looking forward to Wang Jiawei's directorial debut, as long as Wang Jiawei makes this film, it will definitely be able to play the super effect that Xiao Ran expected.

Xiao Ran didn't even plan to give the screenwriter team to revise the professional information in this script, for fear that it would fail because of a small change. After An Yuxuan informed Wang Jiawei and Du Qifeng and the two producers, Xiao Ran's work became much easier.

Wan Ziliang originally acted in this film, and he mentioned the idea of cooperation last time, so he simply chose him this time, no matter how he said it, he is an old drama bone and can be trusted. Xiao Ran thought about it, and only finalized him.

The company's screenwriting team has handed over a lot of scripts, and several of them are books with considerable commercial value. Of course, Xiao Ran doesn't think it's a good thing to start filming so many films at once. Therefore, some of the books are in my hand, and I will prepare them after a while.

However, there are still two that can be opened, one of which is the first book written by Qiu Yu, which is the rather sci-fi theme of police and bandits. Some time ago, Xiao Ran had asked the screenwriting team to be responsible for modifying the sci-fi color in the book and increasing the logical component of the plot.

The other script is the same as the work of Kong Jiaqing, a member of the screenwriting team, which is a literary theme, and the director has the opportunity to win the award. is also not any film in Xiao Ran's memory, it can be seen that the history of the film industry has changed greatly, and more and more excellent screenwriters have quickly surfaced.

It was Chen Musheng and Du Qifeng who arrived first, and now Chen Musheng is still Du Qifeng's assistant director. After the two of them and a producer named Hu Ziwen arrived, Xiao Ran didn't talk nonsense, just handed over the script to the producer and finalized Lao Du as the director.

After ordering this, Xiao Ran stared at Chen Musheng with a smile and said slowly: "Ah Sheng, how sure do you think you are now?" I mean reading power to direct a film, what else are you interested in? ”

Chen Musheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic, Xiao Ran said this is to have the idea of correcting him, how can he not be happy. Almost without thinking, he rushed out: "Brother Ran, I personally like action scenes!" ”
