"I'm okay with that!" Xiao Ran showed a weird smile and said lightly: "Several bosses, I know what you are thinking. There is no restriction on the classification system, which will definitely make many films more box office. However, because of the same scale, we can more accurately grasp the audience we need to target. The most important thing is that the opinions from the people are definitely not ignored! ”

"I agree!" Lei Kaitai smiled and shook the ashes of his cigarette before saying, "Ah Ran is right, I have only reached this point today step by step." I know the thoughts of the people relatively well, if I ignore their voices, I'm afraid there will be trouble! ”

Pan Disheng smiled at Xiao Ran, and then said to the director in a deep voice: "I agree, the scale is very important, if there is no such restriction, the impact will be great, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time." ”

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, the director of film and television can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, except for Xiao Ran, who is not a rich and powerful boss in front of him, and who also has a good influence in the political circles: "Since everyone agrees, then I will send someone to send the draft to you tomorrow!" ”

"Wait!" Xiao Ran glanced at Wei Dongling leisurely, and then said, "I want to know, if after classification, will the third-level film be filmed without any restrictions?" ”

Xiao Ran's question is reasonable, according to his understanding, after Hong Kong implemented the grading system, the number of third-level films was stuck by the political axe. Every year, each production company needs to pay a certain amount of money to buy a certain quota, and if you want a little more, you have to start a satellite company to get more quota.

There is no problem with this, but the point is that this quota can be purchased, which means that the opportunities for strong companies are much greater, which indirectly creates unfairness. In fact, Xiao Ran has always thought that the political axe does not need to interfere in the specific operation of the film industry at all. For example, how to determine the number and proportion of this tertiary film, Xiao Ran thinks that it should be decided by the Film Association.

The director of the film and television department was taken aback, and glanced at Xiao Ran in surprise, he didn't expect Xiao Ran to be able to see through the tricks behind this at a glance. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, there is indeed a limit to the number of tertiary tablets per year. But it doesn't matter, it's a quota that can be purchased for money! ”

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, not knowing whether to talk to himself or what he wanted to do: "Yes, this way the income of the political axe will increase a lot." Good idea, sell quotas, maybe it can be auctioned, what will we make when the time comes? ”

The director of film and television didn't know what to say, and he could see that Hong Kong Yingzheng was planning to make money on it. But he couldn't be the master after all, so he had to glance at the others helplessly. Pan Desheng and Lei Kaitai's expressions changed slightly, so that the political axe was planning to take the money in their pockets.

Xiao Ran smiled, and his tone was even more unpolite: "I don't know if I want to restrict other types of films in the future, and then sell the quota the same?" If that's the case, I think it's better to sell fish balls on the street and maybe make more money! ”

Lei Kaitai laughed loudly, even Pan Disheng couldn't help twitching his face, and the director of film and television was even more embarrassed. Xiao Ran is really out of the limelight at this moment. However, this is exactly the effect he needs, and he wants to use this to tell the three major companies that the Phantom is definitely not a fish belly. Of course, the main reason is that they want to unite the three major companies to fight against this quota system.

Lei Kaitai waved his hand, showing the courage of the big boss: "Don't talk about it, don't solve this quota system, don't expect us to agree!" ”

After saying that, everyone stood up and dispersed. The remaining director of film and television was embarrassed to death, Xiao Ran nodded to Wei Dongling, and motioned for him to get close to this director. He leaned forward and patted the director on the shoulder: "Director, it's okay." I didn't take any money before, but now that we're reaching out to the film industry, of course we don't agree. I just plan to test it, not to do it! ”

The director of film and television glanced at Xiao Ran, who made him hate and love, hated Xiao Ran for kicking out the purpose behind the whole thing in a situation like just now, love is love Xiao Ran didn't treat him as a puppet like everyone else.

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran motioned to Wei Dongling and asked him to take over. Xiao Ran turned around and left, and just after walking a few steps, He Guanchang greeted him with a smile: "Ah Ran, let's talk about it?" ”

Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and found a place to sit down, He Guanchang handed Xiao Ran a glass of water and said: "That's the case, you know that Golden Harvest has the responsibility of acting as an agent in Southeast Asia, so we couldn't get your "God of Gamblers" last time, and now we regret it." ”

Speaking of this, He Guanchang put on a sad look: "However, this time we don't plan to let go of your cornucopia." Give us "Prison Storm", it's easy to say in terms of price! ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Golden Harvest must be very depressed now, "God of Gamblers", which was released in Southeast Asia the month ago, knocked down the box office of "Oriental Condor". This "Oriental Condor" was originally a big-budget film of Golden Harvest, gathering a large number of stars and action stars who were in order at that time. Yuan Hua became popular because he played a very distinctive villain in this film, but he didn't expect to be indirectly sniped by the phantom in Southeast Asia.

Speaking of which, we can't fail to mention the business scope of Golden Harvest. In the 70s, Golden Harvest was inferior to Shaw Brothers in all aspects, and in the 80s, Golden Harvest with Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Xu Guanwen developed extremely rapidly, and soon expanded its business in all aspects to a fairly large size.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that Xinyicheng and Debao can compete with Golden Harvest in terms of production, but they are not as good as in terms of distribution and post-production. Especially for distribution, Golden Harvest is the general agent of some cinema chains across Southeast Asia, and it will pay to buy certain films from a certain company and then release them in Southeast Asia. This is the reason why a number of films have been marked with Golden Harvest titles twenty years later, and it is not that Golden Harvest has made so many films.

Xinyicheng and Debao didn't think about interfering as agents, but they were always no match for Jiahe, so they could only hold on to their own film sources. Of course, the production company does not have the option to sell to Golden Harvest, but Golden Harvest is not only an agent in five places such as Taiwan, but also an agent in Thailand and other places. In this way, you will get a little more money anyway.

However, not every film company is willing to sell the distribution rights in Southeast Asia to Golden Harvest, such as Phantom. Xiao Ran knows very well that if you want to rectify the Hong Kong film market, you must fight against Golden Harvest.

In a sense, Xinyicheng is a reliable ally, while Debao is far from becoming a dominant company and cannot pose a threat. Therefore, if Xiao Ran has any opponents in the Hong Kong film industry, it must be Golden Harvest. Under such circumstances, there is no reason for him to let Golden Harvest seize the lifeblood of his Southeast Asian distribution.

However, in the face of He Guanchang, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little moved. Golden Harvest has European and American markets, which is far from being reached by other companies, and it is also very eager for it. If it can be handed over to Golden Harvest to be responsible for the distribution in Europe and the United States, in a sense, it will undoubtedly be able to open up the European and American markets.

It's just that after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ran immediately denied this idea. He has a way to open up Europe and the United States, and he must not let Golden Harvest get involved in this. So, he smiled slightly and rejected this very tempting offer: "No, Uncle Chang, you know that the phantom has signed a one-year contract with Lin Guiyun and them!" ”

He Guanchang shrugged his shoulders slightly, he thought that Xiao Ran was a very ambitious person, and it was impossible to agree. Instead of being frustrated, he smiled and said, "There's something I want to tell you, but don't be angry, you really don't!" ”

"Of course not, Uncle Chang, if you say this, you can't help but look down on me a little!" Xiao Ran was a little curious, what made He Guanchang laugh like this to hide his embarrassment?

He Guanchang smiled and said a few words to the waiter, and soon a person walked here from the back hall. Xiao Ran vaguely recognized that person was Tie Long, and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking: Why is he here?

Tie Long came to He Guanchang and sat down, and greeted Xiao Ran in a low voice: "Boss Xiao, hello!" ”

Xiao Ran was even more confused, why did this iron dragon walk with He Guanchang? He Guanchang smiled awkwardly: "Ah Ran, that's the case, Tielong took a notebook to us a few days ago." However, he told me that this book was originally what you wanted! But he didn't think the price was too high, so he gave it to us! ”

Of course, the truth is not only this, the fact is that Tie Long said that he saw Xiao Ran's comments on the back cover of the book: Good idea, the script and the author are available. As a result, when he thought the price was low, he remembered that the first screenwriter's comment was definitely very valuable.

So, this guy took the script and went directly to Golden Harvest, and was almost not thrown out. But it was not thrown out, and it was seen by a director, but when he saw Xiao Ran's evaluation, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, but handed the book to He Guanchang.

If there is no comment from Xiao Ran on the back cover, He Guanchang is probably disdainful of this book. But when he saw the comment, he immediately changed his mind, and asked Tielong to understand the situation of meeting Xiao Ran that day, and immediately decided to give 80,000 yuan for the script, and also recruited him into Golden Harvest.

It's just that everyone is in the film industry, and the mountains don't turn around, and Golden Harvest has always had a good relationship with Phantoms. This time is simply equivalent to directly prying the corner of the phantom, He Guanchang thought of this Xiao Ran, who had become big in just two years, and was even more chilled, always feeling that if he didn't explain this matter to Xiao Ran first, he was afraid that there would be endless troubles in the future.

So, there was the scene just now. Of course, Xiao Ran didn't know that He Guanchang was favored by Tielong because of his evaluation, otherwise, he would probably have scribbled comments every time. It's just that when he learned the truth later, he slapped the table fiercely.

Therefore, at this time, he only felt a little regretful, and smiled indifferently: "Uncle Chang, this is not a big deal, you don't need to tell me in person!" Tielong is willing to go to Jiahe, that is your strength! ”

Seeing Xiao Ran so good-looking, He Guanchang was a little ashamed, and he was a little skeptical that his opinion of Xiao Ran was correct: "In any case, it's good to talk to you, so as not to be embarrassed to meet in the future!" Ah Long, come over with tea and accompany Boss Xiao. ”

Tielong reluctantly came to Xiao Ran, and since there was no tea, he had to take a cup of water instead of tea and hand it forward. Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, and smiled at He Guanchang: "Uncle Chang, do you need to be so grand!" ”

"Ah Ran, you just hurry up, Ah Long's hands are trembling!" He Guanchang's heart was very empty, he was going to finalize the matter all at once. Where can the screenwriter who can be favored by Xiao Ran be bad, He Guanchang doesn't care about helping with this.

Tielong was very resentful, and the phantom only sold 50,000 books for 80,000 in Golden Harvest, and promised that a new book would be given priority in the future. And now that he has an identity and status, he actually wants to pour tea with Xiao Ran and admit his mistake, which is simply a humiliation in his opinion.

It's just that Tielong seems to have ignored it, if it weren't for Xiao Ran's affirmation, why could he be valued by Jiahe? If it wasn't for Xiao Ran's willingness to pay 50,000, why would Golden Harvest pay 80,000? Moreover, he didn't even know that the screenwriters of the Phantom Company were not interested in the screenwriting fee, but more rewards after box office success or awards.

However, there is always a kind of person in this world who is always used to being self-centered, as if the earth should revolve around him. Tielong is undoubtedly such a person, a person who does not know how to repay.

Xiao Ran didn't notice the eyes and expressions of the little character Tielong, because someone was already announcing the start of the charity auction. He Guanchang nodded, and he went to find Lin Qingxia and Wei Dongling.

He Guanchang looked at Xiao Ran's back, and the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense. He always thought that Xiao Ran was very scheming to start a film company, but now it seems that Xiao Ran is not like that kind of ambitious person. Of course, he also didn't notice that the iron dragon next to him looked at him with strange eyes.

Lin Qingxia was impatiently dealing with a son-in-law, and finally saw Xiao Ran coming, so she hurriedly walked over to Xiao Ran. Fa Ge and the others had already found a seat and sat down, and Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia both came up. Zhong Chuhong looked at Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "There is a good thing to auction today, if Ah Ran you buy it and give it to Qingxia, she will definitely like it!" ”
