Chapter 196: The Rules of the Game

"If Xiao Ran wants to rule the film industry, he must walk over my corpse!"

In the office of Jiahe headquarters, Zou Wenhuai was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table and knocked over the tea on it. He Guanchang listened quietly, Zou Wenhuai is the chairman of the board of directors of Golden Harvest Group after all, although He Guanchang is one of the directors, but he still has to obey him.

"I really didn't expect that a hairy boy four years ago would be able to get to where he is today, I don't believe that his luck can continue forever!" Zou Wenhuai's old ginger is still full of spicy, and he is both disdainful and jealous of Xiao Ran.

"It's hard for us to beat him, this person is ambitious and strong, and he is more scheming, just look at the three things he put out today to win the Film Association in one fell swoop!" He Guanchang sighed, in his opinion, there was no point in making enemies with Xiao Ran: "And he is still very young, and he has a future." We are old, and we can't compare to him after all, so let's concentrate on our business! ”

"No way, I will never allow anyone to interfere in my domain!" Zou Wenhuai's hatred gradually grew, and he looked at He Guanchang coldly: "Ah Chang, the purpose of our founding of Jiahe more than ten years ago was not to witness the fall of Jiahe, the Shaw Brothers were all defeated by us, and this time the Phantom still can't beat us!" ”

Is there really a fight? He Guanchang sighed in his heart, according to Jiahe's current strength, what can he do to fight the phantom. If you can follow the road paved by Xiao Ran, you can also get some support and help like Debao and Tianluo, and then hit the market again, which is a good way.

If you have to fight the Phantom to the death...... He Guanchang smiled bitterly when he thought of this, what else is there to fight for? Golden Harvest's momentum has dropped significantly, Tianluo and Debao have already implied to replace them, and the hearts of actors and filmmakers are towards the phantom, what to fight?

Maybe it's really time to retire! He Guanchang let out a long sigh, he thought that if he still wanted to live happily in the rest of his life, he might as well withdraw as soon as possible! Just as he was thinking, the secretary suddenly pushed the door and entered, followed by three guys with oriental faces.

The guy at the head smiled when he saw the two of them, and said something in a chirping voice, and a translator behind him explained: "Chairman Zou, Mr. He, it's a pleasure to meet you." This time, I came at the request of Chairman Zou to talk about investment......"

He Guanchang's heart was suddenly shocked, when did Zou Wenhuai talk to him about financing? He didn't even know it! He only felt a burst of disappointment and powerlessness in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Zou Wenhuai couldn't even believe him, an old courtier who single-handedly founded Jiahe......

And three days later, the boss who had brushed his sleeves away at the film association meeting was in a daze, full of bitterness and anger. Standing in front of him was one of the representatives of the Philippine cinema chain, who told him in very dry Chinese: "Terminate all contracts!" ”

This thin boss was very angry, he knew that Xiao Ran would come up with a trick, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless, and he actually cut off his distribution network all of a sudden. It's not big, but it's all there is to this company. You know, he had heard the same sentence on the phone three times before, which meant that his company had completely lost its distribution business.

Fifteen minutes later, Yonggao Cinema called and informed him that he would no longer appear in films produced by his company in the future. But the nightmare was not over, and in less than half an hour, the boss of the investment sent a representative to express his position in a simple sentence: "We withdraw our investment!" ”

Wu Yaohan and Feng Quefan and several other actors, these actors are filming a film for his company, but now they have also come to him. Feng Qufan scratched his head and said to the thin boss apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, we have decided to withdraw from the performance of this play, I hope this will not make you feel very difficult to do!" ”

"Just wait to pick up my lawyer's letter!" The thin boss's name is Huang Yinglong, in fact, he is not very old, but he has tasted all the hardships since he was a child, so he looks older. I saw him yelling at these actors with a flushed face of anger: "You untrustworthy bastards! ”

Several people smiled helplessly, in fact, they didn't want to do this, after all, they had all cooperated a few times. It's just that now the whole bank knows that Huang Yinglong offended Xiao Ran three days ago, and it is lucky not to fall into the same despair as Fang Ruohai.

Moreover, half an hour ago, the whole bank received a notice that Xiao Ran wanted the company to close down within three hours. All the staff didn't have to worry about the contract, so they didn't have a choice to side with the Phantom.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over!" Huang Yinglong muttered expressionlessly, but there was despair in his eyes, and his face was gray. He never expected Xiao Ran to be so ruthless, and he had to kill him completely.

Now the big boss's funds have withdrawn, the distribution line has been cut off, and even the local film cannot be released. Huang Yinglong knew that if there was no divestment, or no other means, he could still talk to Golden Harvest about the release. But now that the funds are withdrawn, his company is saddled with a bank loan, what will he pay back?

He could even guess that it wouldn't take half an hour for the seizure officers and money collectors sent by the bank to arrive. Because he believed that since Xiao Ran had done so ruthlessly and calculated all aspects so thoroughly, there was really no reason to let go of this last method that could drive him to a dead end.

Instead of sitting still, he stumbled onto the rooftop. Originally his face was full of dead gray, he suddenly saw that his face was red, as if he had drunk a pound and two pots, but the despair in his eyes still did not retreat.

Dididi, big brother rang. It was the secretary who called, and he was told that the bank had sent a seizure officer. Huang Yinglong smiled miserably, walked slowly to the edge of the rooftop, and stared at the cars like toy cars and pedestrians the size of ants below. He knew that he would be completely free as long as he jumped, but what about his wife and children?

Isn't it interesting to carry a lot of debt for the rest of your life? Huang Yinglong suddenly laughed, laughing so desolate and terrifying. He regrets it now, if he hadn't worked against Xiao Ran three days ago because of his stubborn surname, he was afraid that he would still stay in the office relaxed and happy to enjoy the air conditioning.

In fact, the next day, he knew that he was wrong, and he was very wrong, because the proposal made by Xiao Ran may not have damaged their interests. Because Xiao Ran promised that as long as the film was released to the Phantom, the Phantom was willing to take less commission within a year to make up for the increase in production costs.

Hate! Forget it! Huang Yinglong closed his eyes and was about to take a step, but he felt that he was suddenly grabbed by his arms. When he opened his eyes, he was the tallest of the two personal bodyguards who always followed Xiao Ran.

At the same time, Xiao Ran is in his president's office admiring Shuxiang's newly founded Red magazine, which has replaced Influence as a weekly magazine distributed within the industry. Originally, the original route of "Influence" was to take the internal distribution, but later found that the magazine was very popular among ordinary citizens, so it simply made it aimed at all readers.

And "Red" is the real industry-oriented magazine, which usually has what role a certain company needs, or what talent a certain record company needs, etc. With a huge amount of internal information about the industry, the inaugural issue sold a full 11,000 copies.

Xiao Ran founded this magazine with two intentions, one is to use this magazine to expand the influence of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, just like Hollywood's "Variety" and "Hollywood" report, two internal publications, and the second is to use this to discover buried talents.

Whether you can make money or not, that's secondary. However, Xiao Ran believes that he can make money, and there are currently as many as 18,000 film practitioners in Hong Kong alone. And such an internal magazine, in general, is one per person, so the sales are not terrible.

After flipping through the magazines and nodding with satisfaction, he opened the complete roster that he had been researching for a long time. Of course, it is not the roster of the Red Flower Society in "Fang Shiyu", but the roster of Hong Kong film practitioners.

Xiao Ran tried to find some talents who had been missed by himself before, but unfortunately, there were not many people he really remembered. Many of the names are just familiar, and the list may not be complete.

According to the beginning of the letter, I found the page H, and after looking through it for a long time, I couldn't find the names of Huang Yinghua and Huang Jiaqian. Huang Yinghua's strong work on the soundtrack can be said to be extremely rare in the Chinese film industry, he used "Breaking General Order", "Sichuan General Order", "Ambush on All Sides", "East China Sea Fishing Song", "Little Knife Club Suite", "Heroes Defeated the Dadu River" and other folk music, but it can be very exquisitely integrated, and it makes people feel that the atmosphere is excellent, absolutely rare.

Xiao Ran vaguely remembered that Huang Yinghua had won the 14th Academy Awards in history, and suddenly, he remembered that it seemed that Huang Yinghua had only returned to Hong Kong in 1994 to join the film industry. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a lot of regret.

As for Huang Jiaqian, Xiao Ran actually doesn't value it as much as he imagined, because he has very few works, and he only has "The Birth of a Word" and "The Story of the Boss", as well as "Big Branch". However, this may be regarded as a relatively aura musician.

It's a pity that Xiao Ran's favorite top soundtrack master is still not in this ranks. Xiao Ran's depression is naturally not to be mentioned, if he can get Zhong Zhirong, it will really be like a tiger on the soundtrack.

It's just that after flipping through it, he actually saw a familiar name on it - Zheng Zhaoqiang! Xiao Ran's heart beat suddenly, if it was really the Zheng Zhaoqiang in his memory, then he really picked up a treasure.

only glanced at the film and position that Zheng Zhaoqiang participated in producing, and Xiao Ran determined that this was the top master he wanted. Don't ask where there are so many top masters, Xiao Ran can say without exaggeration that more than ten years later, Galaxy Imaging has gathered the highest level of production talents in Hong Kong.

Zheng Zhaoqiang was Adu's royal photographer in history, and Xiao Ran's impression of "PTU" was photographed by him. This guy's use of the camera and his understanding of light is simply otherworldly, especially when it comes to capturing the balance between motion and stillness.

Without Zheng Zhaoqiang's indulgence in photography, it would be difficult for Adu to express emotions and themes through the picture, and even Zheng Zhaoqiang's later disciple Tao Hongwu was a rather sharp photographer. However, to Xiao Ran's surprise, it turned out that Brother Zheng had also been the photographer of "Truant Dragon".

In this way, he can barely be regarded as a phantom person. Xiao Ran found a red pen and drew a circle on it, and commented on it with the words "sign". The signing is equivalent to raising Zheng Zhaoqiang to a similar position to Huang Yongheng, because there are not many photographers signed by Phantom at present, but they are all top masters.

was sifting through the strong people in his memory, An Yuxuan's voice floated out of the phone: "Mr. Xiao, Sunshine and Mr. Huang are here!" ”

"Let him in!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, his eyes still on the roster. Emotionally speaking, he admires Wong Ying-long, but unfortunately now is the period when he must use iron-fisted means to dominate the Hong Kong film industry, and anyone who dares to challenge the phantom must be eliminated.

Huang Yinglong, whose face was still gray, came in, and Huang Yinglong saw Xiao Ran doing things at his desk at a glance. He didn't understand very much, since Xiao Ran had destroyed his company, why did he still see him, was it to humiliate him?

"Coming? Sit! Xiao Ran looked at the list quietly, drew a circle on it again, and then raised his head to stare at Huang Yinglong, who didn't look good, and then chuckled: "Mr. Huang, sit down and let's talk slowly!" ”

"Do you think there's anything else you can talk about?" Huang Yinglong was desperate now, and if he could, he was even willing to pounce on him and strangle Xiao Ran.

"Mr. Huang, I think you must want to kill me now!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, such a thought would definitely have him: "However, don't forget the rules I have set." If you break the rules of the game, you must be punished! ”

"Why do you make the rules? Why do you want everyone to listen to you! Huang Yinglong opened his mouth and came, he didn't even think about it, and as soon as he said this, he knew that he was very wrong.

"Why? Why, you ask? Hahaha! Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and suddenly stopped laughing and looked into Huang Yinglong's eyes: "Just because I am Xiao Ran, now do you think I am qualified to make rules?" ”
