Next, Xiao Ran explained the characteristics of the excellent script that he had analyzed in detail in the "dream" one by one, which made this student feel very new for a while. At the end of the day, Xiao Ran made a summary: "Basically, in my opinion, script creation can never be separated from the following four words: new, strange, refined, and ingenious!" ”

"That's all for today, I hope these words of mine can be beneficial to everyone!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly, glanced around the circle below and said, "If you think that your ability is enough, you might as well come to work in the Phantom Company after graduation, I think I am very welcome!" ”

The applause soon rang out in the classroom, like thunder, and when I saw the students eager to slap their hands, I knew how successful Xiao Ran's lecture was. In the final analysis, Xiao Ran is talking about the essence and experience of a number of strongmen studying the decline of Hong Kong films twenty years later, to say that it is not amazing in this era, it is too modest.

With dozens of students huddled outside the classroom to give way, Xiao Ran and they walked all the way. It's just that when leaving, Xiao Ran was afraid that Lin Qingxia would be bumped into, so he took her hand. Unexpectedly, these students suddenly bowed to his speech and politely gave way to their group.

Walking among the students who were surrounded by admiring eyes, Xiao Ran suddenly felt that everything he had done was not in vain. Moreover, he now has a very wonderful feeling, he feels that the whole world is in his hands, that it is a realm far higher than the emotion of pride, a kind of strong self-confidence that comes from the surroundings.

From this moment on, he believes that he can turn the tide and save Hong Kong films, and he is no longer afraid of it. Because he knows that he can handle anything, and he can overcome any difficulty. No more hesitation......

After leaving the Baptist Church and seeing that the company's screenwriters were leaving, Wei Jiahui looked at the speeding cars on the road from afar, and sighed lightly: "Ah Ran, I really didn't think of the question you said today, I always thought that making movies was very popular, but now it seems that it may not be ......."

Lin Qingxia looked at Xiao Ran with a very different look, and her expression seemed to be looking at a genius, although Xiao Ran knew that she was just a fake genius. In the face of Wei Jiahui's indirect praise, Xiao Ran couldn't help but rub his nose to hide his emotions: "In fact, in the final analysis, it is the system of local film companies that has a problem. If you can form a formal system comparable to Hollywood, you will naturally not have much to worry about! ”

Xiao Ran knew, and so did Wei Jiahui. However, this is not so easy, at least eighty percent of film companies are short-term investments to grab money. Only Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers can be regarded as the most dedicated in the industry, but both of them also have some problems in the system.

Before 1987, there was not much short-term investment in the film industry, but in a few years, the whole of Hong Kong will invest money in movies as if they are going crazy, and that is the real madness. Even from Xiao Ran's point of view, at present, the most powerful Xinyicheng and Debao are suspected of doing short-term in addition to Jiahe.

Both Xinyicheng and Debao were suddenly discontinued at the peak of the period, which is a huge mystery in the Hong Kong film industry, and the former is understandable because of the interests of the high-level. Kedebao takes the boutique route, and every year the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards can be shortlisted for the best film, which is not unpopular. But at the most glorious moment, Pan Disheng, the big boss who invested in Debao, suddenly announced the cessation of all film business, and whether there is any secret behind this is really unknown.

And the suspension of production in the near future of the new art city is also suspicious, at the time of the suspension of production, the new art city is still holding a film contract with Zhou Runfa. You must know that at that time, with Fa Ge's box office appeal, the film was definitely a big hit. But Lei Kaitai didn't seem to even want to earn the last money, and ended the new art city in a hurry, which is really strange.

Wei Jiahui paused, his face showed a resolute look, looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Ah Ran, if you don't dislike it, I want to join your company." ”

Xiao Ran didn't even show a look of surprise, just after the lecture, he knew that he had changed in some aspects. Of course, he doesn't want Wei Jiahui, and besides, Wei Jiahui still has such a genius as Shuangyou.

Before the change, he must have been ecstatic. But now his thinking is extremely clear, and he knows that geniuses are not born geniuses, but can only be created by a certain environment. And Xiao Ran knows very well that Wei Jiahui's genius ability was cultivated in wireless, and if he gets Wei Jiahui now, he is afraid that the genius will die.

It's just that he knows better that he can't afford to wait, he doesn't have much time. The ** of Hong Kong films will come in a few years, Xiao Ran must accumulate all his strength to save everything, and Wei Jiahui is undoubtedly a very good chess piece. Thinking of this, his heart moved, why can't he cultivate it himself?

According to the original history, it would take Wei Jiahui to come out of the mountain in 1994, although Xiao Ran has the surname Nai, but he will never be stupid enough to wait until then. Thinking about all this, he nodded heavily to Wei Jiahui: "Xiaobao, I welcome you on behalf of the company, as well as Ah Hai and Ah Zhi!" By the way, Xiaobao, if you think there are any other talents, you might as well bring them to me! ”

Seeing that Wei Jiahui and they were all leaving, Lin Qingxia beckoned Xiao Ran to get into the car. But she didn't start the car immediately, but turned her face to look at Xiao Ran: "Ah Ran, to be honest, do you want to sign me?" ”

"That's right, Sister Lin, you know that there are few important actors in the Phantom Company now, and the Phantom Company needs you!" He stared at Lin Qingxia sincerely and confessed everything.

Lin Qingxia turned her face away and looked out of the car window, faintly Xiao Ran seemed to hear her say, "Why don't you need me". Under the shock, he looked at Lin Qingxia carefully, but he didn't find any traces of what he had said. He could only comfort himself that this was an auditory hallucination, but could he really forget this sentence in his heart?

On the same day, Xiao Ran sent someone to Lin Qingxia's agent. The Phantom's successful signing of a long-term contract with Lin Qingxia soon became the entertainment headlines of major newspapers and magazines on the third day, although everyone knew that Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia had a very good relationship, but they didn't expect it to be so good that Lin Qingxia would become its artist in one sentence.

At the same time, Xiao Ran took advantage of this to announce that Phantom's entrepreneurial work was about to start filming. Three days later, the phantom grabbed Chen Kexin in the palm of his hand. One day later, Yu Jiayu handed over the list of the team in front of and behind the scenes of "God of Gamblers" to Xiao Ran. And Xu Ke called and promised to read the script first and then decide whether to direct "A Chinese Ghost Story"

A week later, Wang Zuxian, Zhang Min and Wu Junru signed a long-term contract with the Phantom Company, but regretted that Hui Yinghong refused to sign anything, preferring to be a free body. Also a week later, Zhang Wanyao and Luo Qirui promised to give the phantom director "Autumn Fairy Tale". After a few more days, Xiao Ran successfully borrowed Lin Lingdong and his brother Nanyan from Xinyi City to produce "Prison Storm".

The Phantom Company is currently very small and not much different from ordinary small companies. However, its filmmakers are definitely full of talents, and Xiao Ran has tried his best to get them in his hands on the talents he can recruit.

On this day, Xiao Ran, as a guy who is also the production manager, received a budget report from his producer. The budget for "God of Gamblers" was already drawn up a few days ago, and it was only 4.2 million. And "Autumn Fairy Tale" is still in preparation, but there are no specific numbers yet. As for "Prison Storm", the budget also did not exceed five million.

After carefully studying the budget report in his hand, Xiao Ran smiled slightly, the cause is about to start, and it is inevitable that it will be a hit. After thinking about it, Xiao Ran got the current funding situation in the finance department, but in fact, the phantom didn't spend much money at present, but it cost millions to sign artists.

It is impossible not to mention here that the Phantom's contract with the filmmaker is currently mainly of two types. The first is to sign it directly, and the company pays a certain salary every month as a guarantee, and the remuneration is paid, which can be described as a drought and flood guarantee. It's just that there are very few people who can get this kind of contract, and the top talents in each industry are signed.

For example, the director has only signed Du Qifeng, Liu Zhenwei and Chen Musheng, while the cinematographer has signed Huang Yongheng and Du Kefeng, and the art director has only signed Zhang Shuping. The action director signed Cheng Xiaodong, but unfortunately he still owes some, such as the editor and costume stylist, as well as the dubbing and sounding artist, which obviously made Xiao Ran feel very depressed.

The second is the most common contract method in the film industry, which is divided into long and short contracts, the long is to make several films in two or three years, and the short is to make a film in a short period of time. In short, whatever Xiao Ran asks for by name, except for the first kind of drought and flood protection, is the long-term contract signed. Short-term appointments can be found anytime and anywhere, so there's no hurry.

Among all the behind-the-scenes staff, the only difference in value is the screenwriter. Only screenwriters who enjoy the same treatment as artists can sign a formal contract with the Phantom. Of course, in terms of treatment, it is definitely not bad. In this era, the general value of screenwriters only fluctuates below 60,000, and only a gold medal screenwriter like Xiao Ran can get a salary of more than 100,000 yuan.

In Phantom, the screenwriters not only have a basic salary to get every month, but also an amazing enough salary. And this salary is also linked to winning awards and box office, and the basic salary is at least 60,000 yuan. Of course, this award is naturally not a very watery award such as the Hundred Flowers Award in the mainland.

Of course, Xiao Ran is not stupid, you must know that a profession like this to create surnames cannot cultivate the lazy surnames of the parties. Therefore, in order to target this, Xiao Ran took great pains to make restrictions. The contract stipulates that if a screenwriter does not even complete a script within a certain period of time, it is naturally unforgiving.

Xiao Ran also knows that this can easily cause screenwriters to act alone. And he deeply yearns for the round-table collective cooperation like Xinyicheng, but he is not worried about this, because each script needs to be brought to Wei Jiahui, a special script reviewer. If some plots and sections of the script can't be passed, then the review needs to organize other screenwriters to revise the script. Naturally, there is money to be made for such modifications, and this money is naturally made by the original screenwriter.

But Xiao Ran didn't want Wei Jiahui to be tied by such a trivial matter, so he asked Wei Jiahui to quickly cultivate a few reviews with professional vision, and then free up his hands to help him. In fact, with the baby Wei Jiahui, Xiao Ran really wanted to enter the TV industry, but according to what he knew, wireless's suppression of opponents was not something he could resist, so he had to give up.

The producer of "Prison Storm" is a newcomer named Mo Tianxin. Xiao Ran laughed heartily when he saw this name, because he remembered that there was an actress in Taiwan with a very strong surname called Tianxin. However, smiling and smiling, he was really very relieved of this Mo Tianxin's ability.

Mo Tianxin is a very old-fashioned guy, to exaggerate it, Xiao Ran even wondered if he didn't know how to laugh. But when Xiao Ran saw Mo Tianxin get the script of "Prison Storm" from his own hand, he asked Nan Yan to make a certain degree of revision (Xiao Ran's current scripts often deliberately leave some loopholes so that his company's screenwriters can get ahead.) Moreover, the script he wrote was only enough to shoot for 90 minutes, so it was natural that other screenwriters needed some revisions), and then he found the team, came up with the budget, and arranged the process in the filming process properly, and he knew that he had picked a treasure.
