Chapter 194: Rolls-Royce
It seemed that there was no need to say any more, Li Xingguo suddenly realized that he had made such a big detour, just to tell them that the production fee could not be saved. At this time, Wei Dongling walked to Xiao Ran's side with a smile again, and said while sitting in his position: "The actor's salary is the main expense, if it does not reach a certain proportion with the production fee, it means that it occupies the space of the production fee, and there will be a situation like Shaw Brothers at that time." ”
To put it so clearly, if other people don't understand the meaning of this, they simply shouldn't live. It's just that Yang Qi still asked with doubts: "Why is it a ratio of one to four?" Doing so will cost us our profits! ”
Xiao Ran's gaze met Yang Qi and smiled lightly: "Do you think movies must be a profiteering industry?" This is because we don't have competitors yet, so if we don't reduce our profits in advance to improve ourselves, why should we fight with Hollywood? Don't forget, Hollywood big productions have hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, can we take them? ”
"One to four is a ratio that is more in line with the current environment after our survey." Wei Dongling's grinning look was really hateful, Xiao Ran even wanted to put a mark on his face: "If you like it, you might as well raise it to one to five, we definitely don't care!" ”
"I accept!" Pan Desheng gritted his teeth, because he was an ally of the Phantom, so he was not worried about the pressure from Xiao Ran. It's just that as soon as he remembered the 80 million announced by Wei Dongling just now, he felt that the aftershocks were not over. If Debao doesn't catch up, there will only be a phantom market in the future.
"We all accept it!" Li Xingguo and the bosses of the other companies all nodded in agreement, after all, those who can sit here are not simple-minded: "Mr. Xiao, you just say it!" ”
Yang Qi shrugged his shoulders at Xiao Ran, and then spread out his hand to express his helplessness, this action of learning Xiao Ran made Xiao Ran can't help but laugh. Yang Qi's reason is the same as Pan Disheng, but last year he had already tasted the sweetness of making movies for the first time, and he was even more determined to do a good job in Tianluo Company.
Only Zou Wenhuai didn't say anything, and Xiao Ran didn't look at him, just waited for ten seconds, and saw that Zou Wenhuai still didn't speak. Xiao Ran couldn't help frowning, does this Jiahe have to do it with him?
If this is the case, the plan that Xiao Ran formulated earlier would be useful. The land on the set of Axe Hill Road in the hands of Golden Harvest actually did not belong to Golden Harvest, but was leased by the Hong Kong British Political Axe.
The amount of money spent on this piece of land is by no means a small amount of rent per year. Golden Harvest has also raised a lot of money from banks and Mitsubishi Corporation, as well as a listed company. Although the debt is not high, it is not particularly difficult to bring it down.
It's just that Xiao Ran doesn't want to strangle a company that is originally very potential, but if Jiahe really wants to test his patience. He thinks that he will never be stingy with his iron fist, yes, it is an iron fist, this is Xiao Ran's strategy to rule the Hong Kong film industry, only by using iron fist means to subdue various companies and let the entire industry taste the sweetness, and then he will unswervingly follow the pace of the Phantom.
After waiting for a few more seconds, seeing that Zou Wenhuai closed his eyes and didn't say anything, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling glanced at each other, and they both showed interesting smiles. For others, this is obviously quite frightening, and Golden Harvest is good to say, the phantom can't afford to be offended.
Nodding to Wu Siyuan, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling stood up at the same time, announcing for Wu Siyuan, the chairman: "This is the end of today's meeting, everyone can go back." As for a few things that we talked about today, I'll send the people below to talk about them! ”
Zou Wenhuai suddenly opened his eyes, staring hatefully at the backs of Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, and even announced the dissolution of the meeting as if he did not exist, which was a humiliation at all. He Guanchang sighed secretly, this was originally resentful of Xiao Ran, Mr. Zou himself didn't give Xiao Ran face, how could people give him a good face.
Everyone in the circle knows that Xiao Ran is the kind of person who respects him and pays you back. In this way, Golden Harvest will have to face the phantom sooner or later. It's just that what the result of this pair will be, He Guanchang can't imagine anymore.
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling did not leave immediately, but waited for Pan Disheng and Yang Qi at the door. After inviting the two of them into Wei Dongling's extended Rolls-Royce, Xiao Ran took out a wine glass and a bottle of wine in the wine cabinet with a smile and poured them on, and said with emotion: "Until today, the Film Association has really played a little role!" ”
"Is there a mistake in treating me as if I don't exist!" Wei Dongling complained that he went to get a wine glass and poured some wine, leisurely crossing his legs to enjoy it, he liked this feeling.
But Xiao Ran didn't like this feeling, although this car was given by Lin Qingxia, but it really made him bleed profusely. Yang Qi glanced at it in surprise, and sighed: "Adong, when did you buy such an expensive RV?" Sure enough, he is a highly-ranked big man on the top five diamond kings. ”
Xiao Ran snorted coldly, poured himself a glass of water before complaining indignantly: "Archie, you don't know, you are not sitting in a car now, but sitting on banknotes, a lot of banknotes!" ”
Xiao Ran's resentful woman-like expression was really funny, and both of them couldn't help laughing. Wei Dongling ordered the driver to drive, and then he pretended to be surprised and said, "Don't you know that the banknotes are used to sit?" I've never seen a rich man like you who is stingy with yourself, and you only have one car! ”
Speechless! Xiao Ran was speechless. Theoretically, Lin Qingxia has three cars, and his BMW is not one in total. But the one he bought with his own money was obviously like that, no wonder he was repeatedly ridiculed by Wei Dongling, who loves cars.
Pan Dey smiled lightly, he always felt that Xiao Ran was a very strange person, sometimes cheerful and unbelievable, sometimes terrifying. In terms of corporate affairs, they do their own thing, and their personal relationship is really good, which is the rules of the game in the shopping mall.
and Wei Dongling laughed and scolded, Xiao Ran suddenly burst out with a smile: "Have you ever thought about defeating Jiahe!" ”
Yang Qi and Pan Desheng were both stunned, and then secretly became vigilant. If Xiao Ran planned to use them to drive away Jiahe, then it would definitely be easy to deal with them later. Xiao Ran smiled lightly, and let his sincere gaze project into the eyes of the two: "The existence of Golden Harvest has indirectly dragged down the pace of development of Hong Kong films, and if we want to make a difference in the Western market in the future, the existence of Golden Harvest must be a threat." ”
Yang Qi and Pan Di were silent, no matter how stupid they were, from Zou Wenhuai's performance today, they could understand that Golden Harvest's dissatisfaction with the phantom was now boiling. If this continues, it is really likely to drag down the development of Hong Kong films. It's just that they don't want Xiao Ran to monopolize the Hong Kong film market.
"Tianluo Company currently has a market value of 1.2 billion, and Debao currently has a market value of 1.4 billion." Xiao Ran glanced at Wei Dongling, who was listening intently beside him, and then said lightly: "When do you want to be able to gain the strength to enter overseas?" ”
Yang Qi and Pan Disheng both looked slightly dark, and their net worth of more than one billion yuan was great anywhere. But in the film industry, he is destined not to do much. At this rate, it will be very difficult to expand overseas in three to five years.
"I'm not trying to drive out Golden Harvest, but I want it to be unable to drag us back from now on, and I don't want anything to go wrong internally at that time." Xiao Ran's gaze was suddenly as sharp as a blade: "If you want to gain access to overseas markets, you must take certain risks. ”
Does Xiao Ran need these two helpers to deal with Jiahe? Of course not. It's just that the two are his allies and friends, and if he does it without greeting him in advance, he is afraid that it will damage the future cooperative relationship. Besides, Xiao Ran didn't plan to really do anything to Jiahe, first, that Jiahe was in decline now, second, that he didn't have any good excuses, and third, he didn't want to have any conflicts with Cheng Long and them because of this.
Yang Qi and Pan Disheng were obviously aware of this, and soon smiled bitterly. What does Xiao Ran do, do you still need to tell them? However, the shadow of the Phantom's monopoly on the market still looms over their hearts, after all, the Phantom is too powerful at the moment.
"I know you don't worry about Phantoms, but you should know that my ambition is not to monopolize, but to make Chinese films rule the world." Xiao Ran sighed softly, why did no one believe him when he told the truth!
"What Ah Ran said is that with the Phantom's current strength and no debts, a semi-monopoly pattern will inevitably appear!" Wei Dongling explained for Xiao Ran: "It's just that the Phantom is definitely the first group, and we all hope that Debao and Tianluo can become the second group." This requires the formation of a ladder state of relay, in order to be able to firmly control the transition of the film industry to the direction we need! ”
"Actually......" Yang Qi couldn't help but shake his head, he agreed with Wei Dongling's statement, it was indeed difficult for them to surpass the Phantom, just the Phantom's liquidity was more than their company's market value, where could this compare. Moreover, the Phantom has neither financing nor paid off the loan, so it is not afraid of being attacked by someone at all, to put it simply, it is extremely difficult to hurt the Phantom's foundation.
Because of the fragmentation of the Phantom industry, it is extremely difficult to defeat the core business based on film and investment. Besides, Phantom doesn't even have a listed company, so it's difficult to acquire it. Strictly speaking, even if Li Chaoren comes to deal with this kind of turtle-like enterprise in person, it may not be able to hurt its vitality.
"Actually, the Phantom's family business is too big now, you all know. It's hard to put our minds at ease! Yang Qi can be regarded as an open and honest announcement, and he expressed his worries very frankly: "You all know very well that as long as you are willing, it is not difficult to force us out!" ”
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling were stunned for a moment, in fact, they did have such a plan. Of course, it's just a plan. Xiao Ran once investigated the strength of the whole Hong Kong film company, and then gave a plan for the surname. In order to prevent chaos when the time comes, Debao and Tianluo are no exception.
This is also the reason why Xiao Ran thinks that Golden Harvest is vulnerable, because the Phantom is ready to accept battle at any moment. Although Yang Qi didn't know about this plan, just saying it like this, Xiao and Wei couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, pointed at Yang Qi and said, "You all know that it's easy for the phantom to force you out, so now you're still fine, this may prove that I have no ill will towards you!" ”
Pan Disheng's heart moved, and it is indeed true, if Xiao Ran has the intention to monopolize Hong Kong, then he can do it last year, and there is no need to let them go at all. It's just that Yang Qi is suspicious, and he doesn't care and says: "Who knows what you want to do, maybe you don't know what benefits you want to get from us!" ”
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling immediately felt like they couldn't cry or laugh, and subconsciously shrugged their shoulders and spread their hands: "I said, I have global ambitions, if you don't believe me, then I can't help it!" ”
Really can't help it? That's crap. If Yang Qi and Pan Disheng really want to drag their feet behind him, he will definitely get rid of the two companies as soon as possible and support other companies instead. Don't think that Xiao Ran has no plan, Meiya is a company worth supporting.
"Having said so much, it's hard for you." Yang Qi suddenly smiled slyly and shook the wine in the glass: "Why don't I believe you, Lao Pan, why don't you believe him?" ”
Xiao Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Qi and Pan Disheng are still very good at business, otherwise where would they be today's family business. If he ruined two powerful allies with his own hands like this, Xiao Ran would definitely feel regretful.
Pandey smiled, he had always been wary and cooperative about the Phantom. Of course, for Xiao Ran, it is to be a friend. However, he figured out the real purpose of Xiao Ran's forced surname to make the salary and production fee of industry actors reach that ratio, that is, to indirectly increase the average production cost of the industry!
This is what he thought of when he contacted the rising salary. Based on a very simple truth, the actor's salary will definitely not be able to be suppressed, coupled with Xiao Ran's compulsory conditions, this means that the average production cost of a film in the next year will be as high as more than 10 million to 20 million.
At the same time, the phantom is refreshing the remuneration market in the industry all the time, and now the most valuable director is as high as 1.2 million, once again refreshing the previous record. This means that Siu Ran controls the level of production and investment in Hong Kong. Coupled with the cast and crew of the Phantom, I have to admit that the Phantom already has all the conditions for a monopoly.
