Chapter 87: A Trip to Taiwan
Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to find another spokesperson, and it just so happened that Xiao Ran talked to the manager of Yindu at the Academy Awards some time ago, and euphemistically conveyed the idea of cooperation. Xiao Ran was immediately investigated clearly, and it was only found that Xiao Ran was a rather lazy guy before 1985, and he almost entered the gangsters.
However, after that, Xiao Ran seemed to have woken up from a big dream, showing a talent that surprised everyone. This is very positive, in that investigation report, Xiao Ran's talent and ability were affirmed in an absolute tone.
There is enough talent and ability, as well as good political leanings. Xiao Ran naturally became an object of investigation, but he didn't know it himself. And Guan Xin happened to be by Xiao Ran's side, so the task of this investigation was naturally handed over to him.
Xiao Ran didn't know that Guan Xin was very depressed for a while because of himself, but he knew that he was afraid and didn't care, because he was even more depressed. During the day, he took time to go to Huang Zhan's place to learn music, but he was forced to practice at night and in the morning, and died of pain.
In addition to this, he is also learning to drive. Recently, his mantra has evolved: "It is a failure to think that hundreds of thousands of big people who want me to be a big man in a second actually come here to practice martial arts." ”
Fortunately, this kind of talk is not something that must be enjoyed every day, because he has to fulfill the contract with the film company and personally lead the team to the Philippines and other places to participate in the promotion. It's like on this day, they went to Taiwan, strictly speaking, Xiao Ran still has concerns about going to Taiwan, after all, Wang Yang's father is a wealthy businessman in Taiwan and has a certain amount of power.
However, fortunately, Taipei is the world of the Bamboo Union Gang, and Xiao Ran also found out in the head of the anti-gang group of Xing Jiafeng beforehand that Wang Yang's father Wang Minggui and the Bamboo Union Gang have never intersected, so he dared to go.
In advance, Xing Jiafeng also wanted the Taipei police to ventilate and ask them to help protect Xiao Ran, a big man. Of course, it's a big shot, just kidding, Liang Jiabao's Hand of God has been reprinted by many newspapers. In Southeast Asia, where Hong Kong films are rampant, no one doesn't know the screenwriter Xiao Ran Xiao, the hand of God.
Although "God of Gamblers" does not have Lin Qingxia, she still came with Xiao Ran. Fa Ge always likes to sweep the corner of his eyes to Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia who are whispering on the side along the way, and then hehe smiles weirdly, always laughing until both of them are embarrassed before stopping.
Before getting off the plane, Xiao Ran glanced at Lin Qingxia obsessively, and finally let go of the hand he was holding together. Neither of them wants to be exposed to the media too soon because neither of them is mentally ready. And there is another problem that if the current matter between Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia is exposed, the whole world will regard Lin Qingxia as an indishonorable third party.
Lin Qingxia didn't want to get such a reputation, and Xiao Ran didn't want to. Therefore, it is important for them to keep their distance in public. Now Xiao Ran understands why celebrities always hide their feelings, even though the reasons are different, but the gap in situation is not big.
When they arrived at the airport, they were immediately surrounded by reporters, especially when these reporters saw that Lin Qingxia was also coming, they forgot about their protagonists as if they were crazy, and aimed their cameras at Lin Qingxia.
Fa Ge is obviously helpless about such a situation, he has learned it last time. Now there are only two female surnames in the entertainment industry who can be popular in the global Chinese world, that is, Teresa Teng and Lin Qingxia. In other places, Fa Ge's charm is definitely no less than Lin Qingxia, but in Lin Qingxia's home base Taiwan, it is far from it.
The police arranged by the Taipei police protected Xiao Ran and they arrived at the hotel, Xiao Ran was not the first time to come to Taipei, but he still felt very fresh about everything here. It's just that no one noticed that there were two well-dressed guys in the hotel who quietly left after seeing Xiao Ran enter the hotel.
After talking to Fa Ge and Andy, Xiao Ran entered Lin Qingxia's room like a thief, and as soon as he entered the room, he felt that this room had a different fragrance, and immediately praised: "Qingxia, why is your place so beautiful?" Otherwise, I'll have to find a way to keep you in my house for the rest of your life, because my place is not very pretty! ”
"You're going to be flamboyant, where is it extraordinarily beautiful!" Lin Qingxia glanced at Xiao Ran, but her heart was sweet. No woman can resist the praise of the man she likes, not even Lin Qingxia is no exception.
"No, my lips are very dry and not slippery at all, otherwise you can help me moisturize them!" Xiao Ran smiled and gradually approached Lin Qingxia, who was packing her luggage, and suddenly hugged her from behind, sniffing the intoxicating faint aroma, and said in an extremely funny coquettish tone: "Help me!" ”
If Lin Qingxia didn't like Xiao Ran, I was afraid that she would feel a chill, but for a woman in love, this is very different. Lin Qingxia let go of the slender hand that was sorting her luggage, leaned back on Xiao Ran, and said worriedly: "Don't be joking, it's nothing if our relationship hasn't been exposed yet, but I'm afraid ......."
"Worried about what?" Xiao Ran now had a feeling of intoxication and couldn't extricate herself, and suddenly woke up, seeing the look on her face, her heart moved, and she understood: "Don't worry, there is always a way." Although you are older than me, you are only five years old, I think everyone can accept it, don't you see that Fa Ge and Honggu both agree? ”
"You know that's different!" Lin Qingxia's expression became more and more worried: "They are our friends, so they are acceptable, but it is difficult for society to accept them." Especially...... We are all public figures. ”
Xiao Ran sighed lightly, he didn't know that the current society would be difficult to tolerate this kind of sister-brother love, but he couldn't do anything at the moment, so he could only say quietly: "If possible, I really want to retire together and find a place where I don't know us for the rest of my life, how good it would be." Unfortunately, I still have one wish and a difficult task to complete! ”
"Don't do this for me, I'll feel guilty!" Lin Qingxia raised her swan-like snow-white neck to look at Xiao Ran, and said in a sincere tone: "You are so talented, if you retire like this and don't do a career, I think you will blame me for the rest of your life." So, don't do that! ”
Gently hugged Lin Qingxia tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid of being taken away, Xiao Ran felt Lin Qingxia's dependence, and couldn't help but be ambitious, and said in a deep tone: "As long as I can control the direction of the Hong Kong film industry, no one will dare to say anything to us at that time." ”
Strong self-confidence can be heard in the tone, Lin Qingxia suddenly heard Xiao Ran's words, and couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect Xiao Ran to have the ambition to control the Hong Kong film industry. It's just that when she stared at Xiao Ran's resolute eyes, she knew that he wasn't joking, and couldn't help but get lost in this sense of security and whispered: "You can do it, you can definitely do it!" ”
Yes, of course it works! Xiao Ran didn't know when Microsoft started to develop, and he didn't know what major changes had taken place in the world economy, which made it impossible for him to profit from it. However, as long as he understands the specific trend of Hong Kong films and world films, he has the qualifications to control.
What he wants is not just control, but mainly support, support Hong Kong films to replace Hollywood, and if he wants to have the right to speak in Hong Kong, he must have enough control. In the past, his wish and task was to help Hong Kong films get rid of the brink of death, but now he thinks that he is fully capable of letting Hong Kong films replace Hollywood.
Xiao Ran never thought that his age was much different from Lin Qingxia, in terms of real age, not **'s age, then he and Lin Qingxia just complemented each other. kissed her gently, sat on the edge of the bed together, and sighed for a moment: "At present, my influence is not enough, it is better to be cautious and try to keep a distance in front of the public." ”
How long does it take to control the Hong Kong film industry? Xiao Ran was thinking about it when he said what he said, judging from the speed at which Jiahe caught up with Shaw Brothers, it only took ten years. Although it only took five years for Xinyicheng to fix its status as one of the three giants, it cannot compete with Golden Harvest in terms of scale.
After more than ten years of development, Golden Harvest has been able to have today's scale with superstars like Bruce Lee and Cheng Long. Golden Harvest's influence is not only in the production aspect, but mainly in the distribution. Golden Harvest is a very powerful distribution agent in Southeast Asia, and also has great distribution power with Europe and the United States, which is the distance.
Ten years, it takes ten years! Xiao Ran sweated profusely when he thought of this number, that is, he was willing to spend so much time, but what should Lin Qingxia do when the time comes? Do you have to wait until everyone is old to come together!
After thinking about it again, he gave a promise that is far from being seen at present, staring at Lin Qingxia's eyes like a bright moon: "Give me three years, four years at most, and I will definitely be able to control the Hong Kong film industry!" ”
Lin Qingxia looked at Xiao Ran's resolute eyes, and a warm current welled up in her heart: "Don't worry, I can afford to wait!" ”
Can't wait, absolutely can't wait. Xiao Ran made a calculation after gritting his teeth, if the stock market crash at the end of the year still appeared, then he would be able to make a vote in the stock market, so that he could expand the scale of the company. With funding as a foundation, the speed at which the Phantom Company has grown is absolutely amazing.
Xiao Ran's greatest confidence and hope is not in the stock market crash, but in the fact that Phantom Company has an advantage that no other company can do: with Xiao Ran's knowledge, he must know what films will sell and what will definitely smash.
In this way, the company does not need to finance the filming to reduce the risk. No Hollywood company will fund a big-budget film entirely by itself, but to finance as much as possible to reduce risk, even if the success rate of the film is only half of the record.
Financing means that profits need to be shared, and Xiao Ran's advantages are very clear here. is like "God of Gamblers", if he hadn't melted Fang Ruohai's funds before, then all the 80 million profits of this film would have been the company. With such a speed, Xiao Ran hopes to be able to accumulate enough funds to expand in just one year.
*****
Golden Harvest Company
The boss of Golden Harvest is Zou Wenhuai, and its right-hand man is He Guanchang and others. They were pillars of Shaw Brothers before they founded Golden Harvest, but eventually left due to differences of opinion, which led to the two companies turning against each other for many years to come. Golden Harvest's first step is to get Bruce Lee, and the second part is to make Jackie Chan popular, etc., and Golden Harvest's best thing is to pick up the missing talents in Shaw Brothers, Xu Guanwen and so on are all looked away by Shaw Brothers. And the artists under Golden Harvest were probably the most popular at that time, and even Xinyicheng was difficult to protest at this point, and I have to admit that Golden Harvest has produced countless outstanding talents. But after 97, Golden Harvest basically contracted its film production business and focused on other aspects, and "Drunken Monkey" was the only work of Golden Harvest in the first two years. Mr. Ho Kwun Cheong Ho died in the late 90s, when the Academy Awards dedicated his memory.
