With the people and the money, what should we do next? Of course, it is a planning and entrepreneurship work. In this regard, Xiao Ran has already made up his mind that his entrepreneurial work can not win awards, but the box office must not be lost. And in order not to speed up the rapid arrival of Hong Kong films, you can only choose films in the next two or three years as plagiarism.

With so many constraints, what can you choose? Of course, it has to be "God of Gamblers". Although there have been gambling movies before, none of them have become a climate, and only "God of Gamblers" is a masterpiece that really created the theme of gambling films. Of course, Wang Jing, a gambling tycoon, naturally couldn't imagine that Xiao Ran plagiarized his ideas in the future.

"God of Gamblers" was originally filmed and released in 1989, and after only 30 days, the box office soared to 36 million, breaking the box office record again, and Gai Chenglong's "Miracle" became the box office champion that year. This film is definitely a classic, and many people think that Wang Jing has only made such a good movie in his life.

This is also another classic role of Zhou Runfa, although Xiao Ran wants to win this role more than anyone else and play it by himself. But after all, he knows his acting skills, and he also knows very well that except for Fa Ge in Hong Kong, no one can play this kind of king domineering. It is precisely because of this film that Fa Ge has truly established himself as a well-deserved king in the Hong Kong film industry.

With such a wonderful theme, Xiao Ran certainly has no reason to let it go. Moreover, the "God of Gamblers" after "The Saint of Gambling" can also win the popular Zhou Xingchi in one fell swoop, why not. However, his thoughts clearly do not stop there.

Soon, it was the Phantom Company's first major meeting. It's a pity that only Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling attended the meeting, and the place where the meeting was held was not in the company, but in Xiaoyaowo. They held the meeting in a casual manner, and Wei Dongling asked very simply: "Ah Ran, what are your plans for filming?" ”

"I don't think you need to be too risky in the first year!" Xiao Ran hesitated slightly, he was deeply considerate: "According to the contract, we must produce more than ten films every year, I think, it is better to set this year's shooting task to ten to twelve!" ”

Ten films a year, even if it is a large company, the number of films produced each year is only slightly more than this. However, Wei Dongling was not worried about not being able to complete the task, since the contract signed by Xiao Ran and Fang Ruohai was like this, it meant that Xiao Ran was sure.

According to the division of labor between Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, Xiao Ran is responsible for film production and concurrently serves as the boss. Wei Dongling is responsible for the operation and management of the company, simply put, Wei Dongling is the CEO of Phantom. This is the power that Xiao Ran gave Wei Dongling, the power that can be fully utilized.

In fact, the company structure of the Phantom is not formed at all, and there is not even a prototype, and it looks no different from a leather bag company. This is because Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling have reached a consensus that they will readjust the company structure after a year to form a truly large company. At the moment they have no strength, and they also have no reputation.

Money! 10 million is enough! After Xiao Ran sighed for a while, he quickly decided on this year's shooting plan: "I think so, among these ten to twelve films, two of them must be literary themes, and action themes must also account for two. And the remaining four can be set as police and bandit themes and gangster themes! The last two floating places will be left for adjustment at will. ”

Wei Dongling listened to it and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He has been in Golden Harvest for quite some time, but he has never heard of Golden Harvest having a similar annual production plan. After hesitating, he scratched his head and asked, "Why are you making it so detailed?" ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he had forgotten that such a clear annual plan was not popular in this era. That annual production plan, that's what he came to after measuring the way Hollywood.

Hollywood always makes many films every year, but all the film companies seem to have a deep tacit understanding, and always maintain a certain share of various themes in the market every year. Even if epic films are popular in a certain year, they will also maintain a situation where various themes will not be ignored.

Xiao Ran appreciates this kind of plan, and he believes that this method can deeply cultivate all kinds of talents and tap the innovation of various themes. Giving the audience enough choices, as well as cultivating the audience's rational movie-watching habits, and even the phenomenon of following the trend of Hong Kong films in the future may have certain benefits. Otherwise, if you always blindly shoot urban comedies like Hong Kong films in the 21st century, then the audience will lose their appetite.

Wei Dongling objected almost immediately: "Impossible, gangsters are so rampant now, I often hear about the crew being asked for protection money when filming in Golden Harvest." If you make a gangster movie, it won't help the abuse. ”

"You're wrong, movies can certainly affect some of the audience's thinking concepts, but many things don't mean that the movie is right." Xiao Ran smiled lightly and rubbed his nose before continuing: "Shooting and killing people in the movie does not mean that we encourage killing or committing crimes, the choice and judgment lie with the audience." ”

"But at present, there are still many audiences who go to the cinema to watch movies are students who lack sufficient judgment, so I am afraid that it will ......," Wei Dongling still expressed concern.

Suddenly, Xiao Ran understood why "The True Color of Heroes" was called a hero film in this era, not a gangster film. smiled and replied again: "The introduction of the film classification system is inevitable, and the birth of gangster movies may catalyze its birth." Moreover, don't forget that there are as many gangster members as there are gangsters in Hong Kong, and there will be as many audiences as there are gangster movies! ”

After thinking for a while, Wei Dongling agreed with Xiao Ran's meaning. Xiao Ran smiled with relief, Wei Dongling really lived up to his expectations, and could clearly see that it should be people who take the lead to promote the event, not the event that pushes people to react.

"By the way, what's going on with talent hiring now?" Xiao Ran solved Wei Dongling's problem, and asked happily: "I don't want to be unavailable when I reorganize in a year!" ”

Xiao Ran was referring to the plan he had thought about for a long time earlier, and he asked Wei Dongling to recruit talents as much as possible and give various professional surnames strong training. For example, producers, Hong Kong has never had this kind of Hollywood proven system to be extremely effective!

The key role of a producer in Hollywood is to be strict about a script, or an idea, and think there is a lot to be done. Then, he can buy the script and ideas, and then find a professional screenwriter to conceive or improve the plot, and then pull in funds, including the selection of directors and the like, it is up to him to decide.

Several classic Hollywood films have been given good opportunities because of such producers, who can deeply discover some talents and excellent themes. Hong Kong naturally has no shortage of film shooting talents, but it lacks enough reserve talents and screenwriters, and this is what Xiao Ran wants.

"It's going well, other companies don't quite understand why we have so many idlers, and we have to train them!" Wei Dongling thought for a moment and showed hesitation: "It's just that your training materials seem to be a little too professional!" And there is a lack of good enough explainers! ”

"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing can't be taught, but has to be tested and honed by practice!" Xiao Ran smiled lightly, this thing is not something that exists, and it must be analyzed only if you grasp the context of the market and the preferences of the audience.

"As for the screenwriting class, Wei Jiahui has been here to teach for a while." Wei Dongling's expression is very funny now, his nose and eyebrows are squeezed together, and he looks very funny: "However, he said that he has nothing to teach anymore." And...... And he said that the best screenwriter in Hong Kong now is not him, but ...... A guy named Xiao Ran! ”

It's also poured! Xiao Ran thought it was really interesting, but he didn't expect that the future recognized king of screenwriters in Hong Kong would give him such a high evaluation. He didn't have any thoughts about Wei Dongling's disrespectful tone, they were all friends, so he didn't have to care about this.

After thinking about it, under the coercion of Wei Dongling's pitiful appearance, Xiao Ran touched his nose helplessly and gave him a definite answer: "No problem, I'll go to a class another day!" ”

In fact, Xiao Ran didn't think that he had the need to teach screenwriters a lesson. He has always believed that film is an art of creation, whether it is photography, lighting, or even props, it is completely creation, and it is a kind of artistic collision with very thinking, passion and skill.

But art is something that can't be taught, and it's always the craftsman, not the master, who is taught. It's just that he ignores that no master becomes a master all at once, and any art needs to be accumulated through experience, and when it reaches a certain level, it will produce its own thinking art. Moreover, even if you are a genius, after getting the right guidance, you can avoid many detours.

In order for the Phantom to get enough results in the first year, Xiao Ran was calculating with all his brains. The box office is the main source of revenue for the company, and this is something that anyone is bound to pursue. The award is one of the sources of the company's reputation, and it is also a glorious capital, just like when we mention "The True Color of Heroes", we must be able to associate Xu Ke's film studio.

Therefore, the box office cannot be given up, but the awards should not be given up either. And now the Phantom is speeding up production, and it is impossible to catch up with the 6th Academy Awards, besides, even if he participates, he can only be defeated by the long-awaited "True Colors of Heroes".

Then Xiao Ran thought about it for a long time, in order to determine his goal. He is sure that if he remembers correctly, the most prominent ones at the 7th Academy Awards are "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Dragon and Tiger" and "Prison Storm", and the other two are "Final Victory" starring Tan Jiaming, Xu Ke and Zeng Zhiwei and Xu Anhua's "Book of Swords and Enmity".

"Dragon and Tiger" is too late, Lin Lingdong is currently filming. And "Prison Storm", Xiao Ran can make up his mind, but I don't know if Xinyicheng is willing to let people go. However, Xiao Ran can be sure that he has decided on "Autumn Fairy Tale".

"Autumn Fairy Tale" won Best Picture in the seventh year in one fell swoop, and this success must be enough to raise the name of the Phantom. In fact, there is another one that Xiao Ran is very concerned about, that is, "A Chinese Ghost Story", Xu Ke must not have thought of this idea yet, otherwise he would immediately find a screenwriter to do it.

However, this damn "A Chinese Ghost Story" will definitely be smashed without Xu Ke, which is 100% sure of Xiao Ran, except for Xu Laowei, no one can direct this kind of film. And Xu Ke is now the owner of the film studio, so there is no reason to ask him to direct this film, right?

Maybe it's worth giving it a try, Xiao Ran thought. Thinking of this, he smiled gloomily, because Cheng Xiaodong, one of the three major martial arts fingers in the future, had already been taken under his banner. However, as soon as he was proud for a second, he slapped himself hard.

He actually missed the Yuan family class, and when he thought of this, he immediately sweated like rain. Yuan Jiaban is one of the famous martial arts teams in the Hong Kong film industry, and there is even a Yuan Heping, who is known as the world's first martial artist. If he didn't slap himself hard, how could he get rid of the resentment in his heart.

I went back and asked what Yuan Jiaban was doing now! After thinking about this, I finally comforted myself. Next, all he had to do was to call Xu Ke immediately: "Old Xu, I have a good idea, I wonder if you are interested in coming to Phantom to be a director once?" ”
