Chapter 239: Gathering by the Sea

"Forget it, don't talk about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Ran only felt a burst of melancholy, he was dedicated to thinking about Hong Kong and the mainland, but he didn't expect the mainland to be stuck in the censorship system, which was simply forcing Hong Kong films to die: "Actually, you know that Chinese films need Hong Kong films, otherwise they will definitely not be able to fight Hollywood in a few decades." And I can tell you without exaggeration that if there is no Hong Kong film to confront Hollywood, American movies will already dominate the world now! ”

Huang Qun let go of Fang Cai's thoughts, and after deciding to put this report up, he immediately frowned and said: "Xiao Ran, it's not as serious as you said, I know that Hong Kong films have a certain market in the world, but they definitely haven't reached this market ratio." ”

Xiao Ran smiled faintly, isn't it that serious? He was a man from the past, and he knew far from it that it was much more serious than he thought. If he hadn't used his advantages to preemptively win every link needed for film creation, he would have lost today.

Not to mention the special effects, Dolby Laboratories' AC-3 has replaced the AC-2. If it weren't for the fact that the Phantom achieved absolute control and used Dolby to train a lot of talents, it might not be able to compete with North American recording in terms of recording. When the time comes, there will be special effects, but no sound effects, and it will still be invincible.

In terms of special effects, if Xiao Ran hadn't tried all his tricks to set up a game that lasted for more than a year, he wouldn't have been able to get the world's top model artists and makeup artists. Without models, the special effects are just a ridiculous light and shadow effect, and without makeup artists, the monsters in the Alien series and the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park would never be very realistic.

With those top talents, plus the students specially selected by Xiao Ran to study, there will be another two or three years. This can make the talent system of Chinese films initially established, otherwise what was Xiao Ran doing in the past few years? He's not just preparing for domination in Asia, he's also preparing for the future battle of Hollywood.

And all of this was hard earned when Xiao Ran was familiar with and proficient in movies, and he also had an unmatched advantage. Don't think that he has a certain net worth, he doesn't care about those at all, doing other industries is the inevitable path for the development of enterprises, and secondly, these industries are needed to provide funds for films, with sufficient capital and technical strength, all of which form a perfect circle of film production and technology provision.

"Sunshine, drive!" Xiao Ran commanded the sunshine, and then slowly turned his head to look at Huang Qun and said: "All this is far more dangerous than you imagined, once you are led by Hollywood, it will be difficult for us to have the technical strength and talent to catch up again." Now only Hong Kong films in the world have this technology and talent to confront them, and if Chinese films want to rise, Hong Kong films must be indispensable as banners. ”

Huang Qun's heart was very confused, emotionally, he had received a very important promotion because of Xiao Ran's reminder, so he was able to be promoted to the vice minister of culture so quickly. And now that he is Xiao Ling'er's godfather, emotionally, he is definitely inclined to Xiao Ran. Intellectually, however, he also knew that the political axe was unlikely to give in. It looks like this could be a lose-lose situation......

Huang Qun left, and it was difficult to describe Xiao Ran's mood. He fully understands that the central government has made considerable openness for the sake of film and culture, especially in the area of anti-piracy legal support, which is actually enough to prove it. But that's not enough, is it?

During this time, Xiao Ran abandoned everything and focused on the later stages of "Jurassic Park". This film is the focus of the Phantom distribution throughout the year, and no one dares to take it lightly. Infinity Vision also drew the top experts to do this special effect, and Zhong Zhixing and another special effects director of Infinity Vision participated in the production.

In terms of sound effects, Xiao Ran is as strict as ever, and this time it is Xiang Bao who does the sound design, but his subordinates are extremely large. Because Xiao Ran demanded realism or realism in everything, they had to capture all kinds of sound effects that could be collected.

In fact, Xiao Ran is not a director, so there is no need to meddle at all. It's just that he couldn't rest assured, and finally came to guide him personally, but he didn't interfere with the director's train of thought. This is the rule set by the Phantom, and the director is the biggest on the set. At the same time, Wei Dongling is busy with work, and the mainland is also busy discussing Xiao Ran's conditions in order to introduce the draft as soon as possible.

On the first day of July, this is a very important day in the mainland, but Xiao Ran and they didn't care about these at all, and after enjoying the hairy film, they invited a group of friends in the circle to go to the beach for a barbecue. On the beach, Xiao Ran beckoned to Fa Ge, who was catching crabs on the beach: "Fa Ge, aren't you idle and bored, you have nothing to catch crabs, what crabs can you catch now." ”

Fa Ge smiled and washed his hands, then pulled his wife to Xiao Ran and walked over to them, taking a deep breath of fresh sea breeze: "I like this kind of life more and more, make films for a year or two every year, and then there is a lot of time to relax!" ”

Xingzi and the others looked at Fa Ge with envy, and sighed even more: "Fa Ge, we can't compare with you, we have to take on two or three dramas a year, otherwise the income will be low!" ”

Before Xiao Ran could speak, Lin Qingxia laughed and scolded: "Xingzai, aren't you talking nonsense?" How much did you charge for the last advertisement, at least five million, and you can receive at least two ads a year, which is less? ”

Lin Qingxia is right, no matter what point you look at, in fact, these stars do not suffer. There are few films, but the salary is much higher, and the advertising fee is also a lot higher. This is what only insiders know, under normal circumstances, celebrities are always willing to actually charge less money at some times, and the external advertising fee is declared higher, so that the price can be reached when receiving advertisements in the future.

Take Fa Ge as an example, Fa Ge's current advertising value is at least 15 million, and under normal circumstances, it is more than 20 million. And if he wants to increase the price, he can only collect 15 million in private, and declare it to be more than 20 million, and then the next price will rise logically. Therefore, the advertising income of these first-line stars is not a big problem of tens of millions of dollars per year.

Liu Hua deliberately sniffed the chicken wings, and then looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity that I am about the same age as Brother Ran, why is there so much difference in net worth and fame!" However, I think if Brother Ran comes out to act in another play, it will definitely be a big hit! ”

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, handed a roasted chicken wing to Lin Qingxia, and then smiled: "If I act again, then Asia's number one male star will not be Fa Ge." However, I know that I am not acting material, and I am very satisfied if I can win an actor! Don't dare to expect a triple crown like Fa Ge! ”

"Brother Ran, when will you start a play for me, I really want to be an actor!" Liu Hua looked at Xiao Ran with blank eyes, and couldn't wait for Xiao Ran to immediately nod and agree. Xingzi and they all looked at Xiao Ran with blank eyes, obviously eager to get an actor.

Xiao Ran suddenly laughed, sometimes he felt that he and Lin Qingxia were really lucky enough to be able to win the Best Actor and Actress Award at the Academy Awards at the same time. And except for Fa Ge and Zhang Guorong and Su Renyao, none of the guys in front of them have won the Best Actor, but Wu Zhenyu has won a supporting actor with "The Legend of the Car God".

Lin Qingxia couldn't help laughing, Xiao Ran smiled funny: "This has nothing to do with whether you can start a drama or not, you all seem to often accept literary and artistic dramas, why can't you win awards?" The first is that the strong are like clouds, and the second is that the acting skills are not good enough, and you have to find the reason in yourself! ”

Even Liang Chaowei, a lazy person, couldn't help but complain to Xiao Ran: "Then our acting may not necessarily be worse than others, why can't we win the award?" ”

"Luck, it's a matter of luck!" Xiao Ran smiled weirdly, in fact, Liang Chaowei almost won the award the year before last, but later it was Xiao Ran who used his influence to affect the result.

In fact, many of the judges of the Hong Kong Film Awards are insiders, and they all have to deal with insiders to a greater or lesser extent, so if you have acquaintances, it is naturally much easier to pull up tickets. On the other hand, if it is not popular, such as Du Qifeng, who has always had Du Cannons in history, he offended many people because of his words, resulting in his failure to win awards, and even affected the people of Galaxy Image.

Later, if it weren't for the incompetence of Hong Kong films, which led to Adu's dominance, and he and Galaxy Imaging were needed to support the film industry, "Gunfire" and "PTU" might not have won the award. Therefore, as long as the market is good, Adu has no hope of winning the award.

It is not difficult for a giant like the Phantom to indirectly influence the outcome of the Academy Awards. And Xiao Ran didn't want Liang Chaowei to lose the goal of chasing so quickly, so he deliberately affected the result in that session.

In fact, after ATV's unremitting promotion, the current momentum of the Academy Awards can definitely be described as the biggest film award in Asia. The Hong Kong Film Festival also started running smoothly under the sponsorship of Phantom's industry, and it showed considerable strength in the first year.

Xiao Ran didn't dare to guarantee that the actors and Korean and Western actors were eager to win this award, but he was completely sure that as long as they were Chinese actors, they were very eager to win this award. Because every year to be able to get this award is a proof of strength, winning this award, the value will definitely increase a lot. Later, many unknown actors relied on the success of the Golden Hope Award and then became first-line stars.

Liu Hua is eager to win the award, which Xiao Ran has long expected, this young man always hopes that he can do his best. Moreover, I have to admit that he is always trying, and the Tianmu Film Company he founded in history collapsed due to repeated failed investments in literary films.

Later, Tianmu was founded again, and Liu Hua still insisted on investing in literary films, and "Made in Hong Kong" was Tianmu's work. Moreover, Xiao Ran has the impression that Liu Hua promoted newcomers, and once invested in six dramas in 2005, all of which were directed by newcomers, "Sister-in-law" is a film invested by Liu Hua, and he even invested in the fat brother in "Shaolin Football" as the director.

Liu Hua's desire to win the award is known to the whole world, and Zhou Xingchi is the same. What Xiao Ran remembers most clearly is "Ouchi's Secret Agent", in that film, Xingzai deliberately made an award plot. It's not so much a ridicule of the Academy Awards, but a kind of self-pity and self-deprecation, and the desire to win the award is also faintly revealed.

Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu didn't want to win the award, especially the latter, who was shortlisted twice in the most peak state, but they were both defeated by Liu Hua, so it is needless to say that there was some unhappiness. Liu Qingyun is even more tragic, one of the three heroes whose acting skills have been affirmed by everyone, he has been shortlisted six times, and the result is ......

Of course, if you mention it, the most tragic one is Cheng Long. In Xiao Ran's impression, Cheng Long has been shortlisted twelve or three times, but he still hasn't won it once, which is not only tragic, but also a ruthless teasing. The only good thing is that "Dragon's Heart" found a little face for Cheng Long at the Golden Horse Awards.

That's all historical, and Cheng Long will never be shortlisted so many times now. Just kidding, is it easy to be shortlisted for the current Academy Awards? Lu Liangwei acted so well in "Lame Hao" that he was not shortlisted for the 12th Academy Awards.

Glancing at everyone with a smile, Xiao Ran suddenly burst out: "I may have a new film to start, which of you is willing to act!" Let me start by saying that this is a very small production. ”

Everyone was shocked, if you can play Xiao Ran's film, it can be regarded as embarking on a road to popularity. Don't mention the previous ones, "The Legend of the Car God" made Wu Zhenyu quickly climb to the top of the first-line powerful actors, and Jin Chengwu and Xiao Han were even more red.

However, Xiao Ran has not had a new film for a long time, and after "The Legend of the Car God", he has been busy taking care of his wife, and is busy balancing the phantom between expansion and stability. Now even Lin Qingxia was shocked: "You want to start a play?" How did I not know? ”

Xiao Ran smiled and waved his hand and said, "The idea I just came up with recently has been submitted to the planning department." If they approve of it, then they can always get ready to start filming! ”

Don't think that Xiao Ran doesn't need to follow the procedure because he is the boss, Xiao Ran has to go through the planning department to determine whether it is worth opening when he starts a play. If Xiao Ran submits a script, then it needs to be reviewed or revised, and if it is creative, then it needs to be done by a screenwriter.

If it can be approved, the planning department will immediately send the producer to communicate with the director about the idea, determine what concepts are needed for the preliminary preparation, and determine the list of cast and crew. And this list of cast and crew still needs to be approved by the planning department. After all, the planning department wants to ensure that this film can sell well or win awards, and the matching of cast and crew is very important.

"What I need, though, is not a starring role, but a supporting role." Xiao Ran smiled weirdly, there is no male protagonist in his new work: "You have to think about it carefully!" ”

Everyone laughed, Liu Qingyun was even more out of breath, and Zhang Manyu also let out that familiar laugh. Xiao Ran was puzzled for a while, and soon realized that he had said something stupid. doesn't mention his identity, just talks about personal relationships, it's not a problem for him to want more than a dozen first-line actors to make cameos, and it's still a supporting role.

The actors Xiao Ran wants are not Liu Hua and Liang Chaowei, they have looks there, and there are basically no problems. He wants Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun to be the two supporting roles in the film, the reason is very simple, he wants to cultivate powerful actors who have both box office appeal and recognized strength. The box office appeal, the two of them do have it, but they have not yet shown it in terms of strength.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Sunshine's hand rang, and he took it and handed it to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran took it for some reason, and Wei Dongling's frustrated voice came from inside......
