"The first set of cameras is ok...... The second group is ok......"

"The pyrotechnic group can ...... Recording group ok......"

Listening to the ok of various departments, the solemnity in Xiao Ran's eyes gradually spread to his face, this shooting can definitely be called the most in the history of Hong Kong films. A total of 14 cameras were used to shoot from all angles. Not only did you have to shoot the explosion on the floor, but you also had to shoot the action of Fa Ge jumping downward, and the photographer who was hanging in the air below to catch up with the photographer who was shooting, it was simply a fate.

According to preliminary estimates, this scene alone cost a full of one million. It doesn't matter about the money, the point is that if you miss such an opportunity, it will be rare. And it takes a lot of time to prepare, so it's even less worth it, no wonder Xiao Ran, a guy who has always been cheerful, has become so dignified.

“action！” Xiao Ran's shout quickly spread from the walkie-talkie to the ears of each department, and each department operated rapidly, Xiao Ran valued them so much, they definitely didn't want Xiao Ran to be disappointed.

Fa Ge immediately jumped down, and the height of a building of more than thirty stories was really a very terrifying thing. However, Xiao Ran asked Fa Ge to stay calm during the fall, and he must not show a trace of panic.

At that moment, the firearms and pyrotechnics teams began their missions at the same time, and the floor trembled several times in the camera lens under the vibrators they had set up to show the intensity of the explosion.

Almost at the same time, flames burst out of the window like a dragon, causing panic in the hearts of the people. In an instant, the glass on the exterior of the entire floor shattered outwards as if it had been hit by the shock wave of the explosion, and they all fell to the ground.

Fa Ge tried his best to restrain the panic in his heart, and even tried his best to make his face and eyes present and project the calmness of Taishang's pressure and discoloration. The suspended photographer held a small camera and fell below Fa Ge, capturing Fa Ge's expression wholeheartedly.

At this moment, with a snort, the two fell into the net together, and were immediately pulled to the opposite building by the opposite action stunt team. Xiao Ran was overjoyed when he saw this situation, as long as Fa Ge's performance was fine, then there would only be static shooting and some make-up shots left in this scene.

After calculating that the explosion shot and the flame spray shot were enough, Xiao Ran shouted: "cut!" Hearing this sound card, almost everyone in the crew sweated profusely. This scene is so painful, they have spent far more effort on it than they have made in the past ten films.

The rest of the scenes were filmed in the mainland, and the next day, Xiao Ran immediately dragged the crew to the mainland. The dramas in the mainland are mainly some relatively warm dramas, and the progress is very fast.

It was an ordinary night, and Xiao Ran was talking to Liu Jianzhong, the deputy director of the Film Bureau, and people from China Film Company at the hotel. This is about the release of the film and cooperation, in fact, there is nothing to talk about, since it is barely a co-production, coupled with the political axe's intentional support, it is naturally not a problem to release it in the mainland.

As for the problem of piracy, Xiao Ran is not worried. At present, there is no such quick and fast means as disc piracy, so there is no need to force a time difference. The most important thing is that at present, there is no cinema system in the mainland, and it is difficult to effectively carry out screening and management at all levels.

"Mr. Xiao, our company hopes to introduce this film, you can see ...... this price" The general manager of China Film Company looked at Xiao Ran very sincerely, trying to bring the price down.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, he had expected such a situation. Therefore, he was also prepared, and handed a look to An Yuxuan next to him, and An Yuxuan took out a piece of information knowingly: "When "North and South" was released in the mainland, the number of audiences entering the cinema was at least 200 million, and according to this figure, the box office of the film was definitely not less than 80 million. "Shaolin Temple", a film a few years ago, has grossed at least 140 million in the mainland. ”

The general manager and Liu Jianzhong couldn't help but be shocked, they didn't expect Xiao Ran to be so well prepared. However, what shocked them was still behind, Xiao Ran looked at the two of them with a smile and said lightly: "There are currently about 3,000 screens in the country, and this does not include the mobile open-air projection team. Last year, the total box office for the whole year was 2.5 billion. ”

At the mention of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but secretly sigh with emotion. Now it's 2.5 billion, but more than a decade later, it's only 900 million, and prices have skyrocketed. It can be seen that in the past ten years, the mainland has lost many audiences.

These materials are not provided by Guan Xin, but are the result of surveys and statistics and calculations from the Phantom Investment Department. Long Dahai of China Film Company is obviously not a very weak negotiation object, and he quickly regrouped and cheered up and said: "Mr. Xiao, your investigation is basically correct, but please don't ignore that the total box office of these years is not created by one film!" ”

"Of course, of course I know it!" Xiao Ran sat on the sofa steadily, took a sip of the water handed by An Yuxuan, and then stared at the two and said, "So, I know better what kind of box office a film like this can get!" ”

"We have also calculated that your film is expected to box office about 50 million, and according to this figure, we can only pay you 25 million in distribution fees." Long Dahai is very stubborn and refuses to give in to anything.

"Ok, it's a very simple matter, since you think it's 50 million box office, then I'll propose another plan, guaranteed share!" Xiao Ran smiled weirdly, which made Long Dahai and Liu Jianzhong wonder if it was the right idea to deal with this capitalist: "China Film will first pay a distribution fee of 25 million, and if the box office exceeds 50 million, the rest will still be half open!" ”

In fact, Xiao Ran doesn't have any thoughts about this, now there is no cinema system in the mainland at all, and there is no computer ticketing system to correctly count the box office figures. Zhongying wants to hide the specific number, it is an easy thing. It's just that his intuition tells him that he must not give up so easily, and he may be able to win some benefits in the future.

Long Dahai thought about it for a while, glanced at Liu Jianzhong again, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he agreed. After talking about this matter, Liu Jianzhong said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, are you interested in cooperating with the mainland?" For example, co-investing in certain films and so on. ”

"Cooperation?" Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing: "I'm absolutely fine, but I want to tell you that the total investment of "Spy Change" is 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the investment will be bigger and bigger in the future." If you want to, I have absolutely no objection! ”

Long Dahai's face turned pale instantly, and Liu Jianzhong also smiled reluctantly. They don't know how much the investment in this film is, they only know that the market value of the Phantom Company is more than 3 billion, and they know that the Phantom Company made hundreds of millions of profits last year. They don't know that since the Phantom successfully acquired Leo Company, the market value has soared to nearly four billion.

Just kidding, the investment of 30 million is not something that the current China Film Company can get. However, just because you can't work together doesn't mean there's nothing to talk about. Xiao Ran smiled heartily: "It's better to go to dinner together, at the dinner table, maybe we can talk about cooperation!" ”

When he came to the prepared dinner, Xiao Ran stuffed a meatball into his mouth and smiled softly: "Director Liu, in fact, the life of the people in the mainland is very monotonous now, and movies are the spice of life." At present, Hong Kong produces more than 100 films a year and distributes them to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, but why are so few films that can enter the mainland? ”

"If it's because of political factors, I don't think every Hong Kong film has a political stance, and the movie is purely entertainment." Xiao Ran saw that the two didn't speak, but just looked at himself while making a meal, and couldn't help but smile again: "I hope that all the films in the future of the Phantom can enter the mainland, I don't know what the director thinks?" ”

Liu Jianzhong stared at Xiao Ran, and countless thoughts came to his mind, if he could make his own decisions, he would definitely veto it immediately. However, before he came, the boss had clearly told him that as long as there were no political problems and pornographic problems, he would arrange for it to be allowed to be screened in the mainland as much as possible.

"No problem!" Even the deaf are afraid that they can hear the reluctance in Liu Jianzhong's tone: "As long as you can pass the review, you should be fine." But you'll have to train some of the right people for us! ”

This is even more Xiao Ran's desire, with such a huge population in the mainland, talents abound, but the film system in the mainland is too rigid, and as a result, these talents are gradually buried. If Hong Kong films are to continue to develop, the export of talents from the mainland is indispensable.

After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't resist proposing that the Phantom Fund enter the mainland theater chain. This matter must not be rushed, and now only the films of Yindu and Phantom in Hong Kong are qualified to be released in the mainland, which is already a good start.

If you want the mainland to accept foreign funds to enter the theater chain, it will be at least a few years, and it will not be possible until after the Ninety-Seven. Xiao Ran is still very clear in this regard, although in a sense, he still hopes to help mainland films rise, but they are not competitive themselves, and he can't help.

It's a really difficult situation! Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh secretly. Now that the company is bigger, there are more and more things, which makes him, who already likes to be quiet, feel more and more annoyed.

While talking, An Yuxuan suddenly ran over in a panic and told Xiao Ran that something had happened in Hong Kong. Xiao Ran ran to answer the phone, it was Wei Dongling calling: "Ah Ran, is it you?" The trouble came, and the underworld suddenly carried out a lot of harassment activities on the company's crew, and also injured several people. ”

Mafia? Xiao Ran made a huge question mark in his mind, when did the underworld dare to make a move on the phantom? However, if you think about it, it seems that you have never done anything to the underworld, so you have a rough explanation.

After notifying Guan Xin and them, and then calling the assistant director to explain how to shoot later, Xiao Ran and Guan Xin immediately rushed back to Hong Kong. He didn't even have time to see his birth parents, even though he planned to do so after the shoot was done.

What's really going on in Hong Kong? Why did the underworld, who has always dared not touch the Phantom, suddenly attack the Phantom? Xiao Ran didn't know, so he was even more anxious to rush back. The first thing Wei Dongling said when he saw him at the airport was: "What's going on, tell me in detail!" ”

"Let's talk about getting in the car!" Wei Dongling told Sunshine and the monkey very cautiously: "Pay attention, it is said that someone bought a murderer to kill Xiao Ran!" ”

"Buying a murderer?" Xiao Ran's heart trembled slightly, it was really strange that things had developed to this point. After getting into the car, he stared at Wei Dongling and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Seeing that safety could basically be guaranteed, Wei Dongling smiled bitterly and said, "If you mean buying murder, I may know a little more." Liang Kun took the wind, and it was rumored that Wang Minggui's son Wang Yang did it! ”

"Wang Yang?" Xiao Ran took a deep breath, he never put Wang Yang in his eyes, when he heard that Wang Minggui died in the stock market crash, and Wang Yang immediately sold his family property and fled, there has been no news: "No wind and no waves!" When did he come back! ”

"I don't know!" Wei Dongling sighed, why is there so much disaster in the rise of the Phantom: "However, it is rumored that Wang Yang has hooked up with Taiwan's Bamboo Union Gang and wants to buy you for a large sum of money." ”

Sunshine and Guan Xin were both listening quietly, and when they heard Wang Yang appear, Xiao Ran glanced at Guan Xin. Guan Xin immediately nodded knowingly, picked up the big brother and made a phone call, and only said one concise sentence: "Find out the whereabouts of Wang Minggui's son Wang Yang for half a year!" ”

Xiao Ran is not rubbing his nose now, but as if he is playing with his nose, which has become a habit when he thinks. Closing his eyes slightly, he was surprised by this, with Wang Yang's surname, there was no reason to come back when no one dared to touch the phantom in black and white, but he should have fun abroad.

Wang Yang has a relationship with the Bamboo Union Gang, what does this mean? Soon Xiao Ran told himself that it was very logical. Because it was he who forced Wang Yu to death last time, it can be regarded as cutting off a hand that the Bamboo Union Gang stretched out to the Hong Kong film industry. In this regard, Xiao Ran has always wondered why the Bamboo Union Gang did not look for him to retaliate.

But what exactly is missing? Xiao Ran always felt that he had forgotten something, which was perhaps a very important thing. Unexpectedly, he could only ignore this point for the time being, thinking of the harassment of the underworld, he didn't understand it even more, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with the harassment of the underworld?" ”
