Chapter 209: The Fire of Jealousy Burns
"Don't say it, if it really appears, then I'm embarrassed too!" Zhang Aijia couldn't help but laugh secretly, if it was really Xiao Ran who won the award, then it would be a little embarrassing for them to present the award to their boss.
Obviously, all the citizens of Hong Kong probably know Xiao Ran's strange habit, and in the company and some corresponding occasions, Xiao Ran regards himself as the boss. On the set, it's the director and screenwriter, and now maybe I have to add the job title of actor.
The audience understood what Honggu meant, and they couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it carefully, I found that Xiao Ran is really powerful, whether it is an actor or a director, or even a screenwriter, he can become the top. What's amazing is that Xiao Ran is still a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions, which undoubtedly adds an extremely strong legend to the whole character.
"Otherwise, we still hope that this award does not fall into his hands!" Zhong Chuhong unscrupulously made Xiao Ran's jokes, which made Xiao Ran in the audience very depressed for a while: "However, from the standpoint of a friend, I still hope that he will win this award." Moreover, when I watched this film, I was moved to tears several times. β
"I also shed tears, and the last scene was so poignant." Zhang Aijia is a director herself, so she can naturally see the excellence of that film, and said: "Even if Xiao Ran can't win the award, he and Lin Qingxia will definitely be able to become the most compatible screen couple in film history." β
Xiao Ran was now gently holding Lin Qingxia's hand, quietly thinking that the first time he won the award was in Lin Qingxia's hand. And Lin Qingxia's first time winning the Academy Award was also in her hands, all of which was like a fate destined by God. quietly attached his ear and teased: "You were so bold just now, you actually ...... in front of so many people"
Lin Qingxia gently pushed Xiao Ran, she did it just now when she was excited. Now, she would not have been able to do so. In any case, holding this trophy, she was very satisfied, and even considered Xiying in an instant: "Do you want me to Xiying?" β
"Shadow?" Xiao Ran was taken aback, he didn't think about it. However, he didn't want Lin Qingxia to lose herself and become a housewife, let alone affect his wife's career, and besides, Dongfang Undefeated needed her to act. Except for her, no actress in Hong Kong can play this role: "Why do you have such an idea? β
"No, I just wanted to ask you, did you ever want me to stop shadowing!" Lin Qingxia's face was hidden with wisps of wonderful blood, and she looked particularly charming: "Moreover, I thought about it, maybe I can help you!" β
Lin Qingxia refers to helping deal with the company's affairs, Xiao Ran knows that his wife has read a lot of related books for him, but he knows that this kind of work is extremely tiring, and he doesn't want Lin Qingxia to be so tired. Moreover, filming is relatively easy, and it is enough to take one or two dramas a year.
"It's better to think about it yourself!" Xiao Ran smiled slyly, pushed the question back, and then said: "It's not easy, it's very tiring, it's not as easy as filming!" β
For some actors who are not dedicated enough, it is naturally easy, and there is a lot of money to get from acting casually, so why not do it. It's a pity that that's not the actor Xiao Ran wants. An actor like Liang Chaowei is extremely painful, every time he makes a good film, he is very deep in the play, and even difficult to extricate himself, and the scandal between Liang Chaowei and individual actresses is because of this.
Lin Qingxia thought quietly for a while, she really wanted to help Xiao Ran. Every time she saw Xiao Ran, it was late at night, and she was always busy at the desk, calculating this and that, which made her feel extremely distressed. She thought that maybe she could help reduce Xiao Ran's burden.
Now that the stage has entered an extremely tense moment, Zhong Chuhong took out the post, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhang Aijia without moving. Zhang Aijia glanced at it, and a funny smile appeared on her face: "The Best Actor at the 9th Hong Kong Film Awards is ...... Be...... Xiao Ran, "The Love of People and Ghosts is Not Over"! Congratulations! β
It's yourself! Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile, he was in a very strange mood now, and there was absolutely no excitement, as if this award was destined to be won by him. Or like he has already won the award, it is difficult to make him passionate anymore. Or, he didn't put this best actor in his eyes from beginning to end, maybe he wanted the best director.
Under Lin Qingxia's gaze, Xiao Ran came to the stage, took the trophy and came to the stage. Carefully put the trophy on the stage, and then quietly glanced at the audience, and there were obviously some discordant eyes on Mo Huaien's side, which made Xiao Ran not very pleasant.
"What I want to say, someone has already said it for me." Xiao Ran was preparing his speech in his stomach, he didn't make any preparations in advance every time, he felt that he might be able to play better on the spot: "Now I have to say something else......"
The guests in the audience turned their eyes to Lin Qingxia, obviously remembering what Lin Qingxia just said that she would not be able to win the award without Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran also meant the same thing. Acting skills are originally a spark that bursts out of each other, and there needs to be enough sparks to attract people, and the spark between him and Lin Qingxia is definitely the most dazzling.
"It's a very lucky thing to win this award, but fortunately I only plan to be lucky this time, otherwise what if there will be another three-five consecutive championship?" Xiao Ran made an interesting joke, and then said: "Hong Kong has emerged many professional excellent screenwriters and directors, and countless excellent works have emerged, I want to say that all this is a professional credit, and our Hong Kong films can be more professional." β
The guests in the audience thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the same. Since the rise of the Phantom, it has won countless famous filmmakers, elevated the important surname of every position in the filmmaking process, and made each profession more and more professional. Thinking of this, they immediately applauded fiercely, they liked Xiao Ran's speech every time he won the award, and every time he could always give the film industry a little more space to think.
The best director fell into the hands of Wu Yusen, which made many people feel unworthy for Xiao Ran, so they would have to cultivate talents for Hongguo. The best picture fell to "The Ghost Love", this time the Phantom failed to stage a sweep of thousands of troops, but still won a full nine awards, including the most important four awards, which is already a victory.
Just when Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were about to leave, a fierce look flashed in Lin Qingxia's eyes and pushed Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran found out that Fa Ge and Hua Tsai were surrounding him, and he immediately frowned and thought funny, what are these people trying to do, do they still want to beat him. Of course, he naturally knew very well that this was a play.
I saw Brother Fa approaching Xiao Ran with an apologetic face and said, "Ah Ran, I'm sorry, I and they have wanted to tell you this sentence for a long time." But you have never wanted to see us, in fact, we all have bitter ......"
Xiao Ran's face was extremely ugly, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he suddenly found that Mo Huaien and Tie Long were admiring all this from a distance, especially Tie Long's sharp eyes were very weird. He suddenly took two deep breaths and coldly interrupted Fa Ge's words: "I'm sorry, I'm leaving here!" β
Fa Ge and they all silently made way for Xiao Ran, but there were strange colors flashing in Fa Ge and Hua Tsai's drooping eyes. And the moment Xiao Ran just turned to leave, there were also wisps of wonder in his eyes, and a faint smile quickly appeared at the corner of his mouth, which disappeared immediately, and was replaced by a gloomy face, and the speed of transformation was simply staggering.
"Sorry, we don't talk to people who don't have morality!" Lin Qingxia threw down this sentence and left coldly. When Xiao Ran heard this, he suddenly screamed in his stomach, as for why, he had to discuss it slowly.
Mo Huaien stared at the figure in the distance, his mood extremely complicated. He was jealous of Xiao Ran, and at this moment, his jealousy was almost about to erupt like a flame, so strong and irrepressible.
Lin Qingxia belonged to Xiao Ran, which already made him jealous. And now, this scene is even more exciting to him. He finally knew that he could buy the contracts of these filmmakers, but he could never buy their hearts.
He was unwilling to lose to Xiao Ran, whether it was in love or career, at that moment, he almost couldn't help but rush forward to compete with Xiao Ran. But he still restrained this almost crazy Yu Wang very well, and from this moment on, he vowed not only to take Lin Qingxia back, but also to take away everything that belonged to Xiao Ran, he believed that he could do it, just as Xiao Ran believed that he would be able to solve him.
In a sense, Mo Wynn was also very proud. This scene is not so much the initiative of these filmmakers, but rather the fact that he secretly promoted it. Xiao Ran had just won the Academy Awards once, and he was going to step on that kid hard. Moreover, he has always been very skeptical about how real this so-called defection is, because he has always known that some things have nothing to do with money. But seeing the scene in front of him, he believed that at least fifty percent of it was indeed because of money.
Judging from Fang Cai's Xiao Ran's face, it was definitely very stimulated, Mo Huaien was jealous on the one hand, and proud on the other. He knew that he would definitely win Xiao Ran, because he had already indulged in Xiao Ran's joy and anger.
Soon after the Academy Awards, it was the Oscars. "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" was shortlisted, but Xiao Ran didn't go, just because he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to win any awards this time, and he was destined to run empty. As Xiao Ran expected, this made him a lot more relaxed, which at least proves that the West still does not pay enough attention to Chinese-language films, and this is the time he needs to buy.
At the end of April, Power invested in the domestic Wanyan Company, controlling 51% of the equity, and when the research is completed, it will immediately get the global patent application, and never make that hellish problem again. And Xiao Ran was thinking about another deal in his stomach, Sony was researching a DVD player. When they reached a certain level of research, Xiao Ran planned to exchange karaoke shares for this laboratory, and then it would be his turn to standardize the projector.
At the same time, Xiao Ran gradually handed over power to the gradually competent CEO Wei Dongling, who planned to devote himself to real movies after solving Hongguo. That's what he wants, and the rest of the money-making business is just to finance the film business.
Karaoke has successfully developed other follow-up products with more advanced functions, and the global karaoke patent rights are still in the hands of Phantom. Everything seems to be going so smoothly and so calmly, just waiting for the summer vacation battle to arrive in July.
For Mo Wyan, this is the best chance to shake the Phantom's supremacy. For Xiao Ran, this is a battle of life and death, but it is not his life and death that is decided, but other people's.
In June, Hongguo's entrepreneurial work was finally launched, but "Beauty and the Beast", which was carefully created by the Phantom, failed miserably to the comedy directed by Tielong, and the box office was not even eight million. For a moment, the whole of Hong Kong couldn't believe this number,
Leung Jiabao even commented in the article in the new newspaper, saying that it is rare for a Phantom film to suffer such a fiasco, even if it is an animated film that has always lacked a market in Hong Kong, but with the golden sign of Phantom, this animated film with an investment of 40 million will definitely not be so low at the box office. Especially the film launched by Phantom as a major play, it is impossible to suffer such a fiasco.
This box office figure even attracted the tax office, who suspected that the phantom was using it to avoid taxes. However, any survey results show that the box office of this cartoon is really only that little. At this moment, many media in Hong Kong became excited, thinking that the phantom myth was just a flash in the pan, and it was very likely to be defeated by the rising Hongguo.
However, this is definitely not the case in the media in Southeast Asia and Europe. The box office of this film is quite good in Southeast Asia, especially in Yueben. The whole of Southeast Asia collected 400 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Europe was as high as 200 million. This makes people blame the local market for not being suitable for such childish things as cartoons.
Is it really naΓ―ve? Xiao Ran was extremely disdainful. More than ten years later, cartoons such as "The Incredibles" and "Finding Nemo" have repeatedly monopolized the summer vacation files, and won 30 or 40 million box office under the bleak film market.
During the period when "Beauty and the Beast" suffered a waterloo at the box office, keen reporters saw a little anxiety in Xiao Ran's eyes, and saw wrinkles on his forehead that were often twisted together.
Everyone thought that this defeat had alarmed Xiao Ran, and Mo Huaien, who was holding a newspaper, had the same idea. He carefully observed Xiao Ran in the picture in the newspaper, and his slightly furrowed brow seemed to foreshadow the fall of the Phantom Empire for Mo Huaien.
"Forty million for cartoons...... I really don't know if you're smart or stupid. Anyway, this time you're stupid! Ha ha! Mo Huaien couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought that he was about to be able to defeat Xiao Ran, how different this was from what he was in the past, but he didn't realize it at all.
Mo Huaien now has no doubt that he can defeat Xiao Ran, just like the hero in a fairy tale defeats the evil dragon. It's just that he also knows very well that it will definitely not be easy to completely defeat the Phantom. However, beating the Phantom's film business, that is absolutely possible.
Defeat the Phantom's film myth and use it as a basis to win distribution rights in a few small regions first, and then integrate the distribution business in Southeast Asia after the following year. All this promise was presented like a wonderful scroll before the eyes of Mo Huaien and the iron dragon.
But is it possible? Sometimes we always score clearly, what is a beautiful fairy tale, and what is cruel...... Reality!
