Chapter 237: Ling'er Baby

Huang Qun was extremely surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Ran to say such a fact. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, all this is not over, Xiao Ran looked very indifferent, and said lightly: "Last year, Hong Kong produced a total of six English films and four Chinese films, all of which were produced by Hong Kong companies. If this continues, the only way out for Hong Kong films is to become the United Nations, and sooner or later they will lose their role as the banner of Chinese films. ”

Yang Qi and Pan Disheng deserve to be Xiao Ran's friends, and soon understood what Xiao Ran meant, Xiao Suo told Huang Qun: "Now we basically rely on blockbusters to make up for the losses of other films, and the profits are actually not big." If it continues, the situation pointed out by Mr. Xiao is very likely to happen. ”

"Do you know why I didn't dare to mention my salary again this year? Because if you mention it again, the bigger the investment, the greater the loss. Xiao Ran's words were not said to Huang Qun, but to Yang Qi. Then he stared at Huang Qun and said, "It's all because we don't have the mainland market to rely on, I think you understand!" ”

"I understand, of course I do!" Huang Qun also smiled bitterly like Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran's words were so plain, if he didn't understand, he would have died.

Without good treatment, talent will be lost, and Hollywood has contacted Wu Yusen successively, hoping that he can go over to film. And the most terrible thing is that the treatment is good, but it is difficult to recover the cost in Hong Kong no matter what. If he can get the mainland market, Xiao Ran will definitely dare to increase the average investment to 40 million, or even higher. Because there is such a huge market, if you can't recover the cost, you can only blame yourself.

However, Yang Qi and they all know very well that things are far from being as exaggerated as Xiao Ran said. It is true that many films are difficult to distribute overseas every year, but it is basically no problem to distribute them in Taiwan. In fact, there are absolutely no less than 60 Hong Kong films that can be released in these small countries and regions in Southeast Asia every year.

And the rest are literary films and reading films, as well as some small productions. Indeed, there are many films that cannot be released, and there are also some phenomena that cannot recover their costs. However, it is important not to forget that video distribution and television broadcasting rights can give a film a great deal of return.

In particular, in terms of video tape distribution, the mainland market opened up this article last year, and the video tape distribution alone has already made several giants earn a lot of money. However, what Xiao Ran is referring to is by no means alarmist, but an absolutely possible situation, but it will not fall into such a crisis in the short term.

But Xiao Ran also knew that in another two years, piracy would become popular. Piracy in Hong Kong is basically a triad, and he believes that this will never be a problem. But he could not control piracy in the mainland, and the only way was to use the law to strangle the germ of piracy.

Before that, if they can't get the mainland cinema market, then Hong Kong films will have to sit back and wait for decay, as in history. Of course, death is unlikely, and in terms of technology, at present, in many technologies, the Hong Kong film industry is not inferior to Hollywood. However, decay is inevitable, just like Xiao Ran said just now, to fill the holes of other small and medium-sized productions with large profits.

Xiao Ran fully understands why Hong Kong films in history have been declining for many reasons, but there must be two reasons. The first is that the technology can't keep up with Hollywood, and it is impossible to make big investment confrontations, and the second is that it is very helpless to get the mainland market.

He now has the same feeling of helplessness, if the central government must adhere to these bottom lines. He would rather give up the market than stifle the creativity of cinema, and the only way out at that time is to increase the number of foreign-language films.

The silence lasted for a long time, and it was not until after Lin Qingxia sent the guests away that Xiao Ling, who was crying with a wow, came to find Xiao Ran, that the silence was broken. Seeing that these people were all silent, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but ask quite strangely, and handed Xiao Ling to Xiao Ran: "Aren't you talking about things?" Why don't you say anything? ”

"It's okay, you sit down and rest!" Xiao Ran took Xiao Ling, and the little girl immediately stopped crying, staring at her father with big eyes, and she didn't know what she was looking at, which was really strange. Looking at her white and chubby daughter, Xiao Ran's mood was much better, and she couldn't help but stretch out her finger and scratch her daughter's nose. Xiao Ling grinned, pure and cute.

Now Xiao Ran has basically overturned the previous feeling, and having children is actually a wonderful thing. Isn't it? Looking at this child, Xiao Ran knew that she would continue his life in another way, which may be the reason why the Chinese who are obsessed with immortality attach special importance to children.

Carefully teasing Xiao Ling, this little guy is full of flesh, his little face is also red, and he looks very healthy. Seeing Xiao Ling grabbing a pair of small hands indiscriminately, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile happily, lowered his head a lot, and let this little guy grab his beard and play with it.

With children, the family is intact, which gives a buffer space between husband and wife. Xiao Ran completely understood why Lin Qingxia liked children, because he liked children very much now. It's just that I always like Xiao Ling more than Xiao Qing.

"Your child? Show me! Huang Qun's mood has also become much happier with the appearance of Xiao Ling, which shows that sometimes children are really the best tool for regulating emotions, although it is a bit too much. I saw Huang Qun take the little guy, stretched out his finger to tease, raised his head and smiled: "Is this a boy or a girl?" What is your name? How old is it? ”

"It's a girl, not long after she turned two, her name is Xiao Ling, and a boy has already slept!" Lin Qingxia told Huang Qun with a smile, she didn't know what they were talking about, but she could see that there was an obstacle in their conversation, otherwise why did she bring Xiao Ling over, just to buffer the atmosphere.

"It's so cute, it must be beautiful when you grow up!" Huang Qun's smile was very sincere, and after a few more teasings, Xiao Ling suddenly blinked his eyes, and didn't seem to like this uncle very much, so he immediately cried. Huang Qun coaxed a few times to no avail, so he hurriedly handed it to Xiao Ran.

Strange things happened again, Xiao Ran only hugged his hand, Xiao Ling stopped crying, but happily smiled at Xiao Ran with his thumb in his hand. Huang Qun was immediately stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Your daughter is really good at recognizing people!" Amazing, amazing! ”

"Minister Huang, you are rare and strange!" Yang Qi stared at the little guy with some annoyance and said, and then glanced at Pan Disheng and Lei Kaitai before he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's not just you, we all have the same experience, and his daughter is only sticking to him." ”

"Huh? There really is such a thing! Huang Qun was deeply surprised, sighed and said, "Xiao Ran, you are happy, with such a beautiful and virtuous wife, and such a lovely child." It's like that little girl in my family, who is always too lively, and the girl's extroversion is fully revealed in her. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qun couldn't help but poke his head over and glanced at the little girl again, and couldn't hide his affection: "If you don't dislike it, I will recognize her as my goddaughter, what do you think?" ”

Before the words fell, Yang Qi suddenly laughed. Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia also couldn't hold back a smile, this Xiao Ling is really likeable. Yang Qi wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter when he saw her for the first time, but he was only stupid because of Wei Dongling's godfather.

"What's wrong?" Huang Qun only felt inexplicable, and only then did he suddenly realize that Xiao Ran's daughter wanted to recognize a godfather, but she was afraid that there were already a lot of godfathers, so she waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter if you have a godfather, who said that there can only be one godfather!" That's it! ”

"Minister Huang said it well!" Yang Qi applauded violently, but Pan Dee said that they all saw that this guy had a conspiracy. Sure enough, Yang Qi immediately glanced at Xiao Ran and his wife: "In this way, since Xiao Ling'er has two godfathers, she doesn't care about me more, right!" ”

Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia don't know whether they are happy or worried, with a political figure like Huang Qun as Xiao Ling's godfather, there will be no problem in the future. It's just that if this is the case, then Xiao Ling will have three godfathers to pet in the future, and they will not be easy to teach.

"Since Minister Huang likes Xiao Ling'er, it is her honor, how can there be any reason to refuse!" It seems that it is not very convenient for Xiao Ran to speak at this time, otherwise it would have become a collusion between officials and businessmen. Lin Qingxia immediately realized Xiao Ran's difficulty and gave an answer, and then glared at Yang Qi, who was joining in the fun: "Archie, I promise you, but you are not allowed to spoil her in the future." ”

Yang Qi smiled, he was very hot to the child. Xiao Ran coughed lightly, stood up and said to Huang Qun: "Old Huang, since you are Xiao Ling'er's godfather, then I will be straightforward." China is the most civilized and artistic country in the world, and the same should be true when it comes to film. It's just that if the central government wants the horses to run happily, but they don't give grass to eat, it's impossible! ”

Huang Qun felt slightly bitter, he understood what Xiao Ran meant, and he really hoped that Hong Kong films could become the most important part of Chinese films. However, on this point, it is clear that there are many differences between the two sides. If you want to make a good movie, you will definitely hit the bottom line, just looking at Xiao Ran's attitude, it is unlikely to compromise, and it is impossible to compromise with a political axe!

"Anyway, I'll try to get the message across for you!" Huang Qun sighed and said to Xiao Ran: "Also, the piracy problem you raised last time was taken more seriously by the top, and it was decided to take precautions. However, in terms of punishment, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet your requirements! ”

The problem of piracy was mentioned in advance by Xiao Ran to the chief last time, because Xiao Ran clearly clarified the harm of piracy, so the boss paid considerable attention to it. What Xiao Ran proposed was very simple and very lethal.

Xiao Ran hopes that he can be punished very heavily in the law, and hopes to add a few more crimes, and when the time comes, there will be no problem in punishing several crimes together, and sentencing them to death. He did not believe that this would solve the problem at the root, nor did he think that the political axe would accept it. He is a businessman himself and is well aware of the mentality of speculators for profit.

The key point is that Xiao Ran proposed a fine, and he hopes that the number of fines can be increased enough to make the pirate lose the rest of his life. This may not be able to eradicate piracy, but it will definitely make piracy less rampant, and some people dare to risk their lives to do piracy, but they may not be willing to risk bankruptcy to do it. Once they don't make enough money to do piracy and not pay a fine, it naturally creates a deterrent.

To put it simply, after the political axe agency is caught and prosecuted, the pirated company has the same right to sue again, and each company can claim compensation of up to one billion yuan (the law is not clear, please do not delve into it). Of course, the figure of one billion is absolutely impossible to pass, even 100 million is hopeless.

Huang Qun thought about it for a while, and then told him the result: "Because we consider the harm of piracy to movies, we agree to this request, but we have certain opinions on numbers." We thought that the figures you came up with were simply ridiculous, so decided on the sentencing calculation! And we will definitely increase our investigation in this area. ”

Xiao Ran showed a slight smile, he was very satisfied to be able to achieve this goal. Sentencing calculation, which pirate will only pirate the work of one company? When the time comes, several companies will sue together, how can there be no bankruptcy.

As for Microsoft's software and stuff, let them steal it. Anyway, this law is only for film culture, and has nothing to do with electronic products and software products.

After sending Huang Qun and them away, Lin Qingxia stared at their departing backs and smiled: "I'm afraid it's time to enter the mainland this time, I think you can't wait!" ”

Xiao Ran hugged Xiao Ling, who was sleeping sweetly, and smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy, it's difficult, it's too difficult." "It's really difficult, both sides are unwilling to give up their bottom line, so what else is there to talk about? Xiao Ran has made up his mind, even if he gives up the mainland market, he must not strangle his creativity, otherwise he will be a sinner.

After saying everything about Fang Cai, Lin Qingxia gasped, and there was a hint of worry in her expression: "If this is the case, then there is no room for the development of local films, and it has basically come to an end!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Xiao Ran sneered, if it weren't for the coordination of the market, the filmmaker's remuneration would be doubled. When the time comes, the focus of profits will be on blockbusters, and 20 blockbusters a year will be able to support the Hong Kong film industry. It's just that in that case, his ideals were really shattered, and Hong Kong films at that time couldn't talk about ruling the world.

After saying hello to his parents, the two went back to the room together, Xiao Ran gently put Xiao Ling'er, who was licking her thumb, on the small bed, and then laughed: "I don't know if you haven't fed enough, Xiao Ling'er is always adding fingers!" ”

"you, it's going to be!" Lin Qingxia was suddenly a little shy, and patted Xiao Ran gently: "It's all old husbands and wives, and you still say these rumors, are you ashamed!" ”

"What's so embarrassing, I'm telling my wife, not outsiders!" Xiao Ran stared at Lin Qingxia with a smile in his eyes, and came to Xiao Qing's little bed, this little guy also slept soundly.

Suddenly, Xiao Ran was in a state of interest, staring at his wife's eyes with a sly light, approached her, and suddenly picked her up and walked towards the bedroom. Lin Qingxia was shy about Xiao Ran's ridiculous action, but she might as well say with a smile: "I can't imagine that after having a child, your body shape will be more perfect!" ”

After releasing the passion that had been suppressed for a long time, Lin Qingxia lay on Xiao Ran's chest as if they were together for the first time, squinted at him and said, "Since the situation is not good now, then you should take the opportunity to quit." Didn't you say you were going to walk around with me and say it was the most beautiful thing? ”

Xiao Ran was silent for a moment, he didn't want to live the life he liked earlier. It's just that he can't give up, even if he really loses the hope of the mainland, he can't give up, this is his life's ideal. Moreover, even if the mainland market is lost, it may not be hopeless.

"Wait, give me a few years!" Xiao Ran hugged Lin Qingxia tightly, letting her picturesque face cling to her, and her eyes flashed with resolute light: "Whether I can get the mainland market or not, I will need a few years to find a way for Hong Kong films." I will never allow my ideals to be shattered......"
