"As for the assistant director you need...... Huang Baiming took out a stack of materials without hesitation and handed it to Xiao Ran: "You choose it yourself, most of these are experienced assistant directors!" ”

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and it may not be known that he may be able to find a few great big people in it. took the information and flipped through the pages, and when he saw another name called Lao Jianhua, he was slightly stunned. If he remembers correctly, this man is quite talented, and has served as an assistant director in many films, but he has never been lucky enough to correct it.

On this information, he failed to find a big director in the future, and as for ordinary directors who can read and produce in the future, he doesn't need to train them at all. After paying attention to it, I finally had no choice, so I had to randomly pick one of the more senior young directors Luo Wenqiang, plus Lao Jianhua.

told Huang Baiming about the two assistant directors he wanted, and then talked about some specific things, and Xiao Ran left. As for the shooting, it will take about a week before the filming can start, after all, you still need to prepare some equipment.

And taking advantage of the free time of the past few days, Xiao Ran happened to complete the post-dubbing part of "Dao Ma Dan", and by the way, he participated in the midnight test screening of "Happy Ghosts and Ghosts". The effect of the test screening was very good, and Du Qifeng was in a very happy mood at that time. Prior to this, Er Dongsheng's directorial debut "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" had only been painted for a few days.

The day before meeting with the main creators, Xiao Ran remembered Ah Biao. So, he made a phone call and asked Xiaoyi and Ah Qiang to come out and visit Ah Biao together. Most of the felons imprisoned in Stanley Prison are clearly worthy of the title of felons.

Under the escort of the prison guards, Chen Biao, who was walking in a hurry, appeared in the sight of the three of them, and as soon as he saw Xiao Ran, he showed surprise on his face: "Ah Ran, Ah Qiang, Xiaoyi, why are you here?" ”

In fact, Xiaoyi and Ah Qiang often come, but Xiao Ran either can't remember Ah Biao's affairs for a while, or he is too busy to come. Therefore, this time it was mainly Xiao Ran who spoke.

He looked at Ah Biao with a heavy and apologetic expression: "Ah Biao, I'm sorry, I actually didn't come to see you until now!" Actually, I ......"

"You don't have to explain!" Ah Biao suddenly laughed, which made the prison guard angry and scolded him fiercely: "Don't you often ask them to bring me things, it's the same whether you come or not." Moreover, you still have your own career, work hard, and when I get out of prison, I'll mess with you! ”

That's not going to work! Xiao Ran secretly complained, for fear that Ah Biao's idea would become a reality. He originally planned to use Ah Biao's future position in the underworld, and get enough benefits from it. If Ah Biao suddenly stopped mixing with the underworld, and said anything about changing the evil and returning to the right, then Xiao Ran would really give up all his previous achievements.

"By the way, the method you proposed to me is really effective!" Ah Biao's expression became a little mysterious and weird: "It's the method you taught me last time, and I relied on your idea to save my life." Now the big guy values me very much, saying that he will give me a good position when I go out. ”

"What will happen in the future, we will talk about it in the future!" Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw Ah Biao's appearance, he suddenly felt that he was an instigator who was so bad that pus flowed from the soles of his feet. Especially Ah Biao also behaved like he was happy, which made him feel even more guilty: "By the way, how many years do you have to come out?" ”

At the mention of this, Ah Biao's expression was a little gloomy, and he slowly spit out a heavy number: "Five years, but you don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well here." Usually, as long as you do a little better than others, you will have a chance to come out early! ”

Speaking of this, Ah Biao's expression suddenly became active, and he gave Ah Qiang and Xiao Ran a strange look: "Did you bring that?" ”

Xiao Ran was suddenly confused, what is that? Ah Qiang smiled, and a pair of eyes glanced straight at Rong Xiaoyi. Rong Xiaoyi obviously knew what Ah Biao wanted, and her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she scolded: "Ah Biao, you dead rascal, you want this in front of me, you will die!" ”

"Put the stuff in the package, wait for the prison guards to check it, and you can see it!" Ah Qiang, this kid smiled so silverly, and his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Xiaoyi.

This situation made Ah Biao laugh out loud, and even teased in a low voice: "Xiaoyi, I didn't expect you to blush, it's really rare!" ”

After continuing to talk, the time for the visit came, and Ah Biao was sent back from afar. Xiao Ran didn't know how many thoughts had turned in his mind, so far, he really hadn't seriously encountered the underworld. However, he also knows that this is because he has not been in this circle long enough, and he has not gone deep enough.

I'm going to start being a director soon, and I can't escape the problem of the underworld. At present, the only hope he can hope for is that Ah Biao will be released from prison as soon as possible, and then he will be able to use a force. It's just that it will take another five years, that is, until 1991, and by then...... Xiao Ran thought about it and sighed softly.

"What did Ah Biao mean just now?" On the way out, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered what happened to Fang Cai, and hurriedly asked Ah Qiang: "It's not something forbidden, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Cuong is very strange, every time he mentions this, his eyes like to glance at Xiaoyi's face. Seeing Xiao Yi pretending not to know what to do, Ah Qiang attached to Xiao Ran's ear and said: "Ah Biao wants a poster of a woman, I got him a great one this time, he must be satisfied!" ”

Scales fall from one's eyes! Xiao Ran now showed a man's knowing smile. Why is a man locked up in a depressing prison asking for a woman's poster? The answer is naturally self-explanatory, no wonder Xiaoyi has a strange look.

That night, he finally wrote the prequel and sequel of "True Colors of Heroes", and this sequel is okay, anyway, he is plagiarizing "True Colors of Heroes 2", only slightly changing some plots to run through a series. It's just that this prequel made him scratch his head very much, but fortunately, it was written intermittently.

"A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman", "Mr. Zombie", "Police Story", "Happy Ghosts", "The True Colors of Heroes", as well as "Police Story 2" and "Dao Ma Dan", plus "Eight Star Annunciation" and "Hardcover Chasing Girls". Xiao Ran roughly calculated, there are ten scripts that are completed and unfinished. And the films made by these eleven scripts except for "Happy Ghosts" with a box office of only 15 million, the other ten have reached the figure of 20 million.

There's no need to keep plagiarizing, that's enough! Xiao Ran quickly came to this judgment. Although there are several scripts that have not yet been filmed, he knows that box office success is certain. Eleven scripts, eleven blockbuster films, this 100% result is definitely a pretty shocking number in the world.

To put it simply, in addition to these scripts, Xiao Ran doesn't need to plagiarize future scripts and sell them. Of course, if he were to be the director himself, he would naturally have to plagiarize. However, he thinks it is necessary for him to plagiarize an award-winning script and direct an award-winning film.

It's extremely easy to get an award-winning script, but if you want to win the best director and the best picture, I'm afraid it's ...... Xiao Ran thought about it for a long time, with "The True Color of Heroes" this year, he has no hope. Next year, "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Dragon and Tiger" won Best Film and Best Director respectively, and even such a classic film as "Prison Storm" ended up empty-handed.

If you want to wait until the year after tomorrow, Xiao Ran thinks that it is better to work hard. But what's the game? He really didn't know. There are many classics in the future, but those who can win awards in the future may not be able to win awards today. Sometimes, environmental factors are extremely important.

The most typical example is "Eight Star Annunciation", historically this film is a Chinese New Year film, which was released during the Chinese New Year schedule. This time, Xiao Ran plans to make a statement to Huang Baiming no matter what, and he must go to the Spring Festival stall again, otherwise he may not be as popular as he imagined, the environment is changing, and cause and effect will naturally change.

Another example is "Gunfire", which everyone knows is a classic, the pinnacle of gangster movies. However, if Galaxy Imaging hadn't filmed classics such as "Two Can Only Live One", as well as "The Birth of a Word" and "Dark Flower" first. If gangster movies hadn't risen yet, Xiao Ran would have reproduced this film perfectly on the screen, and the result would be a fiasco.

After all, things need time to develop, and gangster movies need more than ten years of development before "Gunfire" and "Dark Flower" can appear. And the new action films also need to go through a period of development before there will be "New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Nothing is done without skipping the process and being able to achieve the goal directly.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Ran still figured it out, he didn't become a director just to be a director, but to be a director and screenwriter to start his own company. His advantage is that he has a much broader vision than today's filmmakers, and knows what to do and why not to do.

Being a director and screenwriter is just a foreshadowing, a necessary foreshadowing to push him into the position of leader. Therefore, he does not need to be obsessed with any awards, but should focus on how to discover outstanding filmmakers and induce Hong Kong films to move in a beneficial direction.

People are always greedy for fame and fortune, and it is already very good that Xiao Ran can think of this, at least it proves that it is difficult for him to be confused about the so-called awards and the like. This is an improvement for him, and it also proves that he is taking a long-term view.

The next day, Xinyicheng invited Zhang Xueyou and Zhou Yunfa, the leading actors, to the company, and routinely met with the director to determine whether their interpretation of the roles was in line with the director's ideas. In fact, it can be said to be an audition, but this time Xiao Ran won the right to cast, and this class of actors was exempted from this link.

It can't be said that this set of roads is redundant, but for a family comedy like "Eight Star Annunciation", it is obviously impossible to ask too much of the actors. In fact, the film industry has always believed that acting skills are not required to act in comedy, but from the perspective of Xiao Ran, it is the opposite. Zhou Xingchi is an excellent example, without superb acting skills, it is difficult to perform so many classics.

After exchanging ideas with the main actors, Xiao Ran was sure that the actors' performances would not deviate from what he knew, so he put his mind at ease. The trickier thing is the child star Huang Kunxuan, this little actor is very talented in acting, and he was selected by Huang Baiming.

However, Huang Kunxuan was very smart and quickly understood what Xiao Ran meant. It made Xiao Ran secretly sigh for a while, thinking that some actors in the 21st century may not be so dedicated and know how to act, no wonder this little ghost can cry so sincerely in "The Story of Ah Lang", and no wonder when this little ghost grows up, Huang Baiming often promotes this little ghost to act in TV series.

When Xiao Ran finally set his sights on Zhou Yanfa, the problem arose. The current Fa Ge was very incomprehensible and raised the script and asked: "Ah Ran, I think the character of the second child should not be a sissy, but relatively powerful, so as to attract female surnames!" ”

(I'm constantly breaking down...... The protagonist now has nothing left and asks him to plagiarize foreign language films? That's self-defeating. Xiao Ran just wants to write or direct scripts and films with his own ability, and that is by no means something that can be done immediately. He's just a movie fan, not that God. Big brothers and sisters, YY also has to have a program, and it must be reasonable, please let me go, okay. It's a big deal, I'll be a cow and a horse in this life, and I'll repay everyone 55555555)
