Chapter 157: Dividing the Interests
Fang Ruohai definitely didn't have Xiao Ran's idleness, he originally planned to go back to help Fang Poli take more controlling stake in Bowen Group after winning the summer vacation war. From the current point of view, it is obvious that there is no way back. However, he still has a lot of confidence in his father and brother, but the thought of the little sister who can be said to have become a victim can't help but feel a little bitter.
Xiaomei is the third victim of the Fang family, if you count her mother, it might be better to say that it is the fourth. In the early years, the two brothers of the Fang family were married because of the Fang family's continuous annexation of wealth, and because of Fang Poli's superb skills in eating big fish, the wealth of the Fang family quickly expanded rapidly in the past few years. If you can eat Wen Bowen's property this time, it will really be a big step.
But after Fang Ruohai received a call from his father that was almost equivalent to the good news of success, he was extremely depressed. Because he thinks that the greatest opponent in his life is now living a very happy life, and it seems that he can no longer move.
When it comes to the underworld, even though Fang Ruohai is unscrupulous, he still doesn't like this method. The most important thing is that he knows very well that the current underworld is Xiao Ran's world, and perhaps he should be more glad that Xiao Ran did not find someone to kill him.
In terms of film results, Haile is far from being the opponent of Phantom now, and all this is the source of his depression. What makes him even more frustrating is that because of the lack of professional distributors with advanced concepts, "Pride and Love" has not been released anywhere in Southeast Asia at all.
However, he soon knew that it was useless, especially when the secretary hurriedly sent in a document with a pale face. The document told him very clearly that Lin Guiyun unilaterally tore up the issuance contract, and in order to win this contract, Fang Ruohai made a number of concessions. Now it means that he will not be able to pursue Lin Guiyun's liquidated damages.
Just as his face turned pale, he soon learned several other news. The theaters in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India and the Philippines have invested in Tianluo Company, and Yang Qi, who should be damned and should go to hell, has taken refuge in Xiao Ran, and he is still playing this hand at this time.
But all this is far from over, and the news that Xiao Ran has successfully won the distribution rights of Yueben and South Korea and the mainland finally reached his ears, becoming the largest distribution company in Hong Kong. Fang Ruohai was almost paralyzed, his face was extremely pale, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped.
Lost! These were the two big words that were circling in Fang Ruohai's mind, and these messages smashed on his heart like a heavy hammer, almost breaking him down. Just when he thought it was all irretrievable, an accident happened.
The accident was a man, the general manager of a supermarket chain. The general manager told him very clearly and clearly that there was hope that he would be able to overshadow the Phantom at the box office. Fang Ruohai was confused, and his heart beat violently. If the local box office revenue can exceed that of "Spy Change", it will barely be able to regain a little face.
When the general manager told Fang Ruohai that if he wanted to have a high box office, he could "count". Fang Ruohai didn't quite understand this Hong Kong-flavored word, the general manager smiled mysteriously, and told him very frankly: "It's fake!" As long as you are willing to cooperate with supermarket chains, I can guarantee that your film will definitely pull back the box office in the short term! ”
What is a Tsuki? It is a means used by film companies to falsify at the box office. The whole world knows that a high-grossing movie is more appealing just because people are curious about how high the box office is. Therefore, the number of Dushu has become a means to increase the box office.
After the mid-90s, Hong Kong film companies lost control and planning, and there were many cases. For example, in the end, the box office of "Kung Fu" had already fallen, but through some other activities to give away movie tickets, etc., in this way, the box office of the film naturally went up, and finally broke the box office record. Of course, whether this is a number or not, then it is up to everyone.
The number is that the film company spends its own money to buy its own movie tickets, don't think it's not worth it, it can boost the box office. Second, just like "Kung Fu", I think it's worth it to be able to break records or something.
Fang Ruohai was moved, counterfeiting is not an uncommon thing in business, as long as it is well mastered, it will definitely be effective. However, he still hesitated, thought about it carefully, and found that he had no way out before he said, "What effect can this have?" ”
What can it do? Xiao Ran was well aware of this effect. Hong Kong's most famous incident occurred in 1992, when the three major film companies were completely out of control and in a state of chaos. As a result, there are film companies that are crazy about counting in order to praise people.
"Divine Calculation" is this film, and the film company was stunned to praise this film at the box office of 36 million, of which at least half of the water is high. All kinds of means emerge in an endless stream, but they only pity Li Ming and Xu Guanwen, the two innocent leading actors, who are affected by the stupid things done by the company.
The general manager smiled and said very happily: "As long as you are brave enough, I guarantee that you can make at least 10 million box office, as long as you are willing to take this 10 million to do it!" ”
Fang Ruohai understood that this matter was actually very beneficial to the supermarket, and the direct effect was to promote the goods. Therefore, at this time, he was eager to win, and he no longer considered anything else, gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "Okay, I will give fifteen million, and I must catch up with the phantom!" ”
Hanging up the phone call from Rong Xiaoyi, an evil smile gradually appeared on the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth, and this smile gradually spread to his face and turned into happiness. He knew that there was no problem, now that Fang Ruohai was already in his net, it was only a matter of when to close the net.
"Ah Ran, you read the morning newspaper!" Lin Qingxia asked Xiao Ran in a strange tone, Xiao Ran turned his head to look, Lin Qingxia handed over a glass of water, and her expression was not good, it was really beautiful.
Xiao Ran's heart jumped, and he suddenly remembered the gossip news in the morning, and there were several newspapers that implied that he had taken care of Li Jiaxin, and there were pictures on it as proof. I think I was photographed when I went to visit Li Jiaxin, although Xiao Ran has a clear conscience, but the affectionate appearance on the picture can't help but make him quibble.
"That's purely guessed by the media, Li Jiaxin is just a signed artist of the company now!" Xiao Ran hurriedly walked towards Lin Qingxia, wanting to hug her to show her affection: "Moreover, she has a little trouble, I'll help her solve it." ”
"I don't believe it!" Lin Qingxia's expression suddenly became very cold, looking at Xiao Ran's nervous appearance that she didn't know how to explain, she felt Xiao Ran's attention to her. Then he suddenly laughed: "Fool, I'll play with you." ”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and immediately pounced in annoyance, holding Lin Qingxia, who was screaming and fleeing, in his arms. Gently put her on the bed, Xiao Ran smiled: "I want to punish you for your distrust of me......"
Within two days, newspapers all over Hong Kong found that there was a strange situation at the box office of "Pride and Love", which was originally only 400,000 for three consecutive days, but the next day it increased sharply to 11.1 million. This upward trend did not last long, but it did not fall much.
It's obvious that the whole world knows why. Just when the whole world was waiting for the Phantom and Golden Harvest to come and administer justice, the two companies didn't say a word, as if they had completely acquiesced to such an approach. People can't help but wonder if the two major companies have come together?
Xiao Ran has indeed reached an agreement with Golden Harvest, not so much to reach an agreement with Golden Harvest, but to say that the four major companies in Hong Kong except Haile have secretly held a meeting. It happened the day before, and Xiao Ran contacted Jiahe, the only one who did not have a definite cooperative relationship, and said it to talk about it.
Zou Wenhuai replied very refreshingly, in fact, he was already very dissatisfied with Haile, and such a naked deception was simply a shame. The three major companies generally knew what Xiao Ran wanted to talk about, but they all came, which meant that everyone's opinions were similar.
In the conference room of the Phantom Company's headquarters, the heads of the three major companies had arrived, and the coffee in front of them was still steaming. Zou Wenhuai saw Xiao Ran come in, and apologized first: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, last time it was because of ......"
Xiao Ran smiled lightly and waved his hand to stop Zou Wenhuai's words, knocked on the table and said lightly: "I won't mention the past, I invite you to come today, I just want to ask everyone's opinions on Haile Group!" ”
Pan Disheng didn't speak, just shrugged his shoulders as Xiao Ran often did, indicating that he agreed to deal with Fang Ruohai. Yang Qi naturally would not object, but Xiao Ran found someone to check Yang Qi's bottom. This kid is not an ordinary person, his parents are considered rich, and they have a family fortune of tens of millions of dollars. I just don't know why this kid stayed in Hong Kong to be that little company......
Zou Wenhuai hesitated, he still had some desire for Hollywood. However, he soon made a decision, because he knew very well that Phantom Company was now the only company in Hong Kong that could be on an equal footing with Golden Harvest in terms of strength, even if Golden Harvest was aside, whatever Xiao Ran wanted to do, it would be able to succeed.
Seeing that they all expressed their positions, Xiao Ran showed a relieved smile, and it was not stupid to see that these people were not stupid: "In what industry, you have to abide by the rules, and those who don't follow the rules have only one way out." Haile Group must be out, not only that, Fang Ruohai has become a spoiler in Hong Kong, dealing with spoilers and violators, my purpose is to get rid of him! ”
The three of them still have no opinion on this. It's like this in the shopping mall, if you don't drive it out, will you still leave an opponent who has a deep hatred to drive you away? Xiao Ran smiled happily: "Now Haile Group has lost the distribution right in Southeast Asia, and only local theaters can release it." What we need to do is very simple, inform the whole bank, no one is allowed to take Haile's play, otherwise it will be blocked immediately! ”
"It doesn't seem like it will be able to drive away Haile, right?" Since Zou Wenhuai has decided to deal with Fang Ruohai, according to his business determination, he is naturally determined to kill Haile: "I need some other ......."
"I have my own way, you just need to do what I say!" Xiao Ran waved his big hand, and cut off Zou Wenhuai's words very domineeringly: "I said that I would get rid of him within three months, even God can't protect him!" ”
"As for the distribution of benefits after the collapse of Haile Group...... In this regard, Xiao Ran already had an idea, but he deliberately didn't say it immediately, he wanted to see the attitude of other people.
What does the Haile Group have? It has contracts for New Arts City and New Art Treasure, as well as contracts from Mak Dang Hung and Xu Ke Film Studios, as well as ATV and a newspaper and magazine. These are all projects for the distribution of benefits, and they are also good opportunities for expansion.
However, the three of them also know very well that with Xu Ke and Huang Baiming's friendship with Xiao Ran, Xinyicheng and Xu Ke Film Studio will definitely have no hope. The only ones they can compete for are ATV and newspapers and magazines, as well as the record label and the contract of Mak Dangxiong's studio.
Among them, the most valuable is ATV, and ATV is Xiao Ran's ambition. With this TV station, it means that the media empire he envisioned has gained an extremely important link.
Zou Wenhuai and they are very embarrassed, there is no record company and flat media under their company, while Phantom has drawn a different path for the three major companies. It's not just a way to make movies, but a diversified industry.
They really wanted to get each of them, but they knew better that Xiao Ran was the one who really talked about things. For Xiao Ran, all this is what he wants to get. But the company definitely doesn't have that much cash, so he has to give up some interests.
Zou Wenhuai likes talents, and he also "defected" because Mr. Shao wanted to divide half of his power into the TV industry, and Golden Harvest itself focused on developing films, trying to create a local film dynasty. So, he's not very interested in the TV station.
This distribution of benefits was not easy, but it was finally determined that Xiao Ran won ATV and the film library, while Golden Harvest won the contract of Mai Dangxiong's studio. Debao got the new Yibao record company, but several singers in this company had to give it to Tian Lai. Tianluo won the print media.
The only one who has objections is the Golden Princess, every company wants to take it, but everyone doesn't do it. In the end, the only way to do this is to give up collectively, and when the time comes, everyone will compete according to their ability.
At the end of this meeting, which had not yet started to divide the interests, Xiao Ran glanced at the three of them coldly, and once again fixed his gaze on Zou Wenhuai's face. said in an indifferent tone, but said very affirmatively: "From today on, the Hong Kong film industry is the world of the four of us, everyone is an opponent and a friend." If anyone doesn't see me as a friend, that's my enemy! ”
