Chapter 35: A Smile in the Sea

Fang Ruoxin didn't seem to feel Xiao Ran's meaning at all, and stood up with a smile in an extremely polite manner: "Sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Xiao Ran and Yishu were both stunned for a moment, and at the same time they both realized something. Yishu's gaze was projected on Xiao Ran's face, and she couldn't help but shake her head slightly. Of course, Xiao Ran didn't know that this sentence was really a good excuse, and he felt a little bitter in his heart as he watched that Miaoman's figure drift away.

Suddenly, I lost all interest, and after looking for a while, I saw Yang Wei and Xiao Han on a sofa. There was also a middle-aged man next to him who was talking, and this man seemed to be very humorous, making the two girls laugh non-stop.

For some reason, Xiao Ran was suddenly very unhappy, strode forward and sat next to Yang Wei, hugged his shoulders affectionately, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a certain provocative look!

As soon as he calmed down and saw the man in front of him, Xiao Ran's head buzzed like playing cotton. The one who is teasing these two girls is the famous godfather Huang Zhan, who is the Huang Zhan who laughs and swells on both sides of the strait!

This huge contrast made Xiao Ran embarrassed to death in an instant, but Uncle Zhan laughed very disapprerovingly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Ran and said, "You are Xiao Ran?" Just now I was talking to your girlfriend and your sister about you, and they all praised you for being talented, I don't know if you are more talented or I am a little more! Ha ha! ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva hard, Xiao Ran smiled and scratched the back of his head: "Uncle Zhan, don't be joking!" How can I compare to you, you and Sister Yanni are real talented and beautiful women. ”

Huang Zhan obviously didn't wonder why Xiao Ran knew him, you must know that this old boy has acted in many films, and the most proud of them are those tertiary films of the unwritten series. Coupled with the shocking talent of the "No Anthology", as long as you are a Hong Kong person, it is simply impossible not to know his old man.

"Good, good, no kidding!" Huang Zhan let out a hearty laugh, and Xiao Ran suddenly thought that maybe only such a truly bold person could create a laugh in the sea. As soon as he thought about it, Huang Zhan stretched out his finger and praised: "You kid is good, the script you write is very good, I like you very much!" ”

"Ah Zhan, let's go!" Lin Yanni's voice was calling Huang Zhan, Huang Zhan reluctantly stood up, drew a gesture to Xiao Ranbi, left a phone number for him, and drifted away.

Staring at the faintly heroic back, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a sense of pride. He cheered himself up, thinking: It's just a woman, if I waste the opportunity given to me by God on a woman, even I will look down on myself. is in the same era as the world-class heroes in the Hong Kong film industry, if you don't do something, how can you be worthy of yourself, and how to be worthy of the Hong Kong films you have loved since childhood.

After staying for a while, Xiao Han went to play on his own. Not long after she went, Huang Baiming sat on the sofa opposite Xiao Ran, and muttered for a moment before saying, "Ah Ran, I have taken a general look at your book, and the story is very good." Just ......"

"It's just that I haven't been a director before, so you can't be at ease?" Xiao Ran smiled with relief, he knew that Huang Baiming would be so cautious: "The president of the United States is not born to be a good president!" ”

"Your analogy is really ......" Huang Baiming couldn't help laughing, and even Yang Wei covered his mouth and snickered. Stopping laughing, Huang Baiming's expression softened a lot: "Actually, we all want to see you as a director, but you also know that none of the movies the company has invested in over the years have lost money." If you don't do well, you're probably ......."

To put it simply, the risks outweigh the benefits. Xiao Ran secretly summed it up in one sentence, in fact, he was just a new screenwriter who had been in the industry for a year, let alone a director. If he were to become another screenwriter who had been a screenwriter for four or five years, Huang Baiming would have agreed. can be invested in Xiao Ran, and the risk is indeed very large.

Of course, Xiao Ran understands, but he knows better that there is a producer system, and Xinyicheng is not afraid of bad movies at all. Therefore, he smiled brightly: "Lao Huang, don't play me, I don't believe you don't want this book, I'm very optimistic." ”

"You've seen through it!" Huang Baiming chuckled, waved his hand unconsciously, and said: "You all know that there is a certain risk in this matter, so the company's decision is that if this film is not successful, then you have to write five blockbuster scripts for the company in the next three years, and those that don't sell will not count!" ”

Gently touching the little beard on his chin, Xiao Ran thought about it, it would not be difficult for him to write five blockbuster scripts in three years. The difficulty is that he plans to keep many good scripts to do by himself. However, is it possible that "Eight Star Annunciation" will not be successful? Then this condition is basically equivalent to non-existence.

But he didn't plan to do it like this, since Huang Baiming put forward such a condition, there was no reason why he shouldn't take advantage of it. So, he bargained meaningfully: "No problem, but I have to choose the actors, and the budget can't be too low!" ”

"No problem!" Huang Baiming lowered his head and thought about it, in fact, under normal circumstances, the actors are indeed decided by the director, and this casting problem is not big. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I will find you an experienced assistant director, and you will have no worries about everything!" You will come to the company tomorrow to talk about specific things! ”

Xiao Ran didn't stay long, so he called Yang Wei and Xiao Han to leave. Before leaving, Lin Qingxia just told Xiao Ran to bring Xiao Han here to play more, Xiao Ran laughed and made a joke: "It's not good if this disturbs the happy life of you and Brother Han!" ”

As a result, Xiao Ran hugged his head in Lin Qingxia's beautiful anger, which naturally caused Xiao Han to laugh at this brother unscrupulously, but Yang smiled very reservedly, and he was full of everyone's beautiful appearance.

When sending Yang Wei to the door of the house, Yang Wei took out the key and was about to open the door, when he suddenly turned around, stared at Xiao Ran with a bit of resentment for three seconds, and then opened the door and entered the house. Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, sighed softly and left.

"Sister Wei seems to like you, isn't it?" In the car, Xiao Han was no longer alive, but was silent for a long time before he seemed to have made a very difficult decision: "Brother, if you like Sister Weiwei, then pursue her." I...... I won't bother you in the future! ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly, gently touched Xiao Han's head and said, "Xiao Han is so cute, how can my brother be annoyed by you." Besides, Yang Wei doesn't necessarily like me, some things are really hard to say! ”

Xiao Ran told Wei Dongling the news that he was going to be a director, and this rough guy was also excited about Xiao Ran. Just asked about this guy's career, and he was immediately frustrated. He is not doing a good job at Golden Harvest now, and he wants to change jobs, but he finds that he is gradually falling in love with movies.

If nothing else, history is changing. Xiao Ran quickly came to the judgment that Wei Dongling in history should have been in the United States now, but now he is still in Hong Kong, which is enough to prove everything.

Xiao Ran didn't write the prequel to "The True Color of Heroes" this night, just because he was so excited that his hands were trembling. The opportunity is right in front of him, as long as he can seize this opportunity and spend another year or two to be a good director, then the film company will have no problem.

The next day, in Huang Baiming's office of the New Art City Company, Xiao Ran was studying the crew members with Huang Baiming. Of course, Xiao Ran decided the casting, and Huang Baiming decided the behind-the-scenes staff.

When Xiao Ran handed his list of actors to Huang Baiming, this guy was startled when he saw it: "Zhou Yanfa, Zhong Chuhong, Zheng Yuling, Zhang Xueyou, Yuan Jieying, Feng Baobao...... Your roster is too big! ”

"It's not too big!" Xiao Ran smiled, he was the original team, grabbed his hair and took the paper to add a name: "I forgot, there is still a key person missing!" ”

Huang Baiming looked at the name added, and immediately fainted. Because Xiao Ran added Huang Baiming's name, Xiao Ran didn't pay attention to Huang Baiming's action of rolling his eyes at all, and said to himself: "The role of the eldest brother belongs to you, this time you just want to be lazy!" ”

Xiao Ran was sure that Huang Baiming would agree, it was hard for him to imagine that these bosses of Xinyi City would actually put down their bodies to act. However, when he paid attention to the subtitles in the movie, he realized that there was nothing impossible. A bunch of giants in this new art city are very money-saving, and it is common for them to make a cameo appearance or simply star, for example, the "Happy Ghost" series is starring Huang Baiming.

"In that case, I'll contact them later!" Huang Baiming smiled bitterly and agreed, thought about it and continued: "Let's come up with a budget plan below, make a shooting schedule, and wait for my news!" ”

After leaving the New Art City, Xiao Ran was in a very happy mood, and suddenly thought that Liu Hua was now hidden by wireless snow, and I was afraid that he was very depressed. Thinking of Zhou Xingchi again, my heart was happy for a while, so I called and asked the two of them over.

Originally, he planned to call Liang Jiahui, but unfortunately Liang Jiahui had an announcement today and couldn't get out. Liang Jiahui had already won the opportunity to make a film as early as the beginning of this year, and the first film he made when he made a comeback was called "Fire Dragon", and Xiao Ran even remembered that this film was shortlisted for the next Academy Awards.

When Liang Jiahui made a comeback, he was very happy to sigh to Xiao Ran: "It's really unpredictable, blocked by Taiwan, but supported by mainland funds!" ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart was a little stronger, and he vaguely felt that he had grasped an extremely critical point. He thought hard as he walked, until he came to the agreed restaurant, and as soon as his ass landed on the chair, the idea that he couldn't grasp just now came out.

That's right! He finally knew what he remembered! The Hong Kong film industry has always had mainland capital investment, including the Great Wall Company in the early days, and the current Yindu institutions, all of which are from the mainland. Xiao Ran thinks that if he remembers correctly, it seems that there are several companies that are relatively much smaller and are mainland funds, as if New Kunlun is one of them.

According to Xiao Ran's understanding, these companies are not doing well and can only rely on financial resources to maintain them. Only Yindu can survive on its own, and it is still active even in the 21st century.

However, the strange thing is that the origin of Yindu's funds is very mysterious. No one knows where the money comes from, but the accounts are very clean, which means that it is not black money or anything like that.

Why did you think of this? Xiao Ran asked himself hard in his heart. He couldn't understand why he was so excited at the thought of this, as if he had picked gold. However, at this moment, he knew the answer, because his subconscious told him that this silver capital was really a target that could be used!

(I'm sweating!) Halo one more. Who told you that Fang Ruoxin is the heroine, and who said that Xiao Ran must like her if she is so infatuated? The reason why it is described in an exaggerated way in everyone's eyes is because it is definitely the need of the plot. To put it simply, Xiao Ran has little to do with Fang Ruoxin, and Lin JJ is his final choice)

(Also, persuading Liang Jiahui to go out of the mountain is not for him to act, because at that time, the protagonist did not have the strength to handle the ban from Taiwan.) Therefore, what Xiao Ran asked Liang Jiahui to do was to assist him in writing a script or something! )

(Finally, I firmly oppose any personal attack, and I hope you can do it)
