Chapter 82: Calming the Heart
His eyes swept around, staying on Liu Qingyun, Xiao Ran nodded to him: "Qingyun, there will be a play for you in a while, male protagonist, are you interested?" β
"Really?" Liu Qingyun swept the depression in his chest, he has been coming to the Phantom for a while, but he has never played it, and it is not as good as running around in wireless. However, then again, most of Xiao Ran's artists are wireless people. Fortunately, it didn't matter at all, Xiao Ran only asked that their contract be terminated immediately after it arrived, and they would no longer sign with Wireless.
"Of course it's true, otherwise I can't make a joke about you?" Xiao Ran smiled easily, it was actually very interesting to be able to see such a young Qingyun. However, what is more interesting is that Liu Qingyun was really not very good at wireless, and he actually played "Ruhua" in the Liang version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
Xiao Ran thought about it again, at least he had to take out the script. Hurriedly raised his head to find Wei Jiahui, and then beckoned to him, and when he came over and sat down, Xiao Ran asked: "Xiaobao, I have an idea for a ghost movie now, you go back to work tomorrow and find a screenwriter to make this, it must be good!" β
"Ghost School" was originally starring Xu Guanjie's brother Xu Guanying and Zhang Xueyou, directed by Liu Zhenwei, and it seems that Wang Jiawei wrote the screenplay for this film. Both of them also played cameo roles as police officers in the film, which is definitely a rare opportunity for the future king of sunglasses.
However, now that Zhang Xueyou is from Xinyi City, Xiao Ran has no reason to praise him, so it is very suitable to praise Liu Qingyun. told Wei Jiahui the general plot, but he still couldn't trust the current screenwriter, and couldn't help but advise: "The idea is roughly like this, but the plot and details must be done well, I don't want rough works!" β
"Alright, don't worry!" Wei Jiahui smiled: "Don't you still believe the screenwriters you have taught, I bet they are already very good in this regard." Of course, it's still not as good as you! β
"you, by the way, how have you been?" Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, wondering if to open a play for Wei Jiahui: "Do you want to start a play, just speak!" β
"I still don't want to, I think I need to accumulate some experience, just do the review here for now!" Wei Jiahui looked at Xiao Ran calmly and said: "Besides, I am still in wireless and have not terminated the contract, and I still want to share your money with them, I am not happy!" β
It is not surprising that this rule of wireless is well known throughout Hong Kong. Xiao Ran thought of Lucy Zheng, a great actress, and felt a pity. After talking about it again, he turned his attention to Zhou Xingchi, who had always been eager to act: "Xingzai, there is likely to be a drama that will find you to be the leading actor in the second half of the year, and after giving you the script when the time comes, you must figure it out." If you want to be a blockbuster, if you want to tell others that your study of acting skills is useful, do a good job, I am optimistic about you, you will definitely be popular! β
The future Xing Ye was so excited that he couldn't even say half a word, he just moved his lips, and he wanted to say a few words of thanks to Xiao Ran, but he didn't say anything. When Xiao Ran saw it, he was full of emotion in his heart, and comforted him again and again: "Xingzai, don't say anything thank you, I just hope you will be popular in the future, just don't forget the company!" β
Looking at the other actors who were staring at Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran suddenly became depressed, and they all seemed to be eager to have a play to play. Only Wu Junru couldn't help but speak, and sure enough, it was quite similar to the image on the screen: "Boss, when will you give me a role?" β
"I want to see it......" Xiao Ran only thought about it for a moment, and then smiled, didn't "The Saint of Gambling" happen to be her participating in the performance: "In this way, in the play I just said, Zhang Min is the female number one, and you will be the female number two, don't worry, there will be a drama for you to play in the future!" β
After appeasing a group of actors, Xiao Ran came to Lin Qingxia's side and said with a smile: "Qingxia, do you think the company's logo is well done?" β
"It's good, I didn't expect to be able to do this, I guess the company's logo is the best!" Lin Qingxia couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat when she saw Xiao Ran sitting beside her, and then there was a burst of pain, she had tasted the bitterness of her feelings twice, but she didn't expect to fall into another trap so quickly: "You seem to be very busy, you always talk here and there!" β
"I'm not too busy, but I don't have much time to spend with you, it's true, I'm sorry!" Xiao Ran is sincerely sorry, maybe only he doesn't know what he is thinking about Lin Qingxia now: "I decided to make this logo the permanent logo of the company, do you think this is good?" β
"It's okay, the company has to pay me for the use anyway!" When Lin Qingxia said this, she couldn't help but touch her lips and chuckle: "Also, I haven't started a play for a long time, are you giving me a play?" β
"This ......" Xiao Ran was stunned, he seemed to be particularly easy to ignore Lin Qingxia all along, but he seemed to be particularly easy to care about her: "If you really want to, then I guess it should be fine!" β
Xiao Ran has been conceiving a romance film since Fang Ruoxin was going to play the leading role, which is by no means plagiarized from any film, but completely belongs to his personal work. The content of the story is a love triangle, a story about hurt
The story is that a man has a very beautiful and noble godsister, and this godsister falls in love with this man, but this man falls in love with another woman who is somewhat like this godsister. When the male protagonist got married, he found out that he didn't love this woman, but this godsister. It's just that he was afraid of the moral condemnation of society and was afraid of tarnishing the perfect female surname in his mind, so he subconsciously hid this thought and deceived himself.
The stories are simple, even clichΓ©, but the love stories that can move people are often old-fashioned and ordinary. It's a story about hurt in which a bad choice left all three of them hurting each other. Xiao Ran thinks that this story is good, at least it is completely original to him.
Seeing Xiao Ran's thinking, Lin Qingxia thought that Xiao Ran was very embarrassed, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, in fact, it's not in a hurry!" β
"Nope!" Xiao Ran rubbed his nose in embarrassment and explained, and then told Lin Qingxia the general story: "Actually, I think this story is promising, but it is not yet a bad ending, and I haven't found a suitable actor...... Ah, what's wrong with you? β
Lin Qingxia listened to Xiao Ran's story without an ending, and was immediately stunned, all this looks so familiar, isn't that godsister her? Could it be that Xiao Ran is...... Her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of moisture, maybe all this really came too easily, so easy that she couldn't believe it.
Staring carefully at Xiao Ran's concerned eyes, she gradually felt a sense of confusion, is this story true or false? She suddenly felt that reality and cinema had converged at this moment. After cleaning up her mood, she finally asked, "Why doesn't this story have an ending?" β
"The end?" Xiao Ran shook his head, he originally wanted to write a tragedy, but there was always an impulse that drove him to write the result of a happy reunion, but this was not what he wanted, so he didn't write the ending: "I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't know how to end this story." β
Lin Qingxia's heart trembled slightly, and the look on her face was so distressing. Biting her lower lip and thinking about it, she really didn't know what she should do, but suddenly heard Xiao Ran muttering: "Why don't you find someone to write this ending with me?" β
That's right! Why don't you work together to write the ending, sometimes you may need to fight for it yourself. Thinking of this, the confusion in Lin Qingxia's eyes gradually disappeared, and she said softly: "Why don't you let me write this ending with you!" β
Xiao Ran was stunned! However, no one knows how the story will end, not even Xiao Ran. He suddenly felt that he would be faced with many choices, and each choice would change the outcome of the story.
After the banquet, Liang Jiabao asked Xiao Ran to do an interview, and the two talked slowly in the hotel room. Liang Jiabao is Xiao Ran's most familiar reporter in the media circle, and he is not polite when he speaks: "Ah Ran, why did you think of gambling as the theme? Aren't you afraid that this will teach the audience badly? Do you bet or not? β
Xiao Ran smiled, he rubbed his nose and smiled: "Actually, I don't bet, I have always followed the principles of screenwriting, and try to choose new themes as much as possible." As a result, I thought about gambling, and I wondered why gambling couldn't be expressed in a movie. If so, how? β
"Finally, it occurred to me that why not write about gambling as something very specific, just like the profession of journalists, why can't there be professional gamblers?" Xiao Ran admired himself very much, and made it up as if it were real: "So, I checked the information and found that there are actually professional gamblers." This became the center of this film, and I wanted to create a legendary character and make gambling an art in his hands, so I made this film! β
"As for whether it will teach the audience badly, I don't think there is anything to worry about." Xiao Ran smiled even brighter: "The vast majority of the audience who entered the venue have self-control and self-thinking ability, and they have enough ability to judge what is real. And if there are murder scenes and plots in a film, it doesn't mean that we are encouraging the audience to kill people. β
"You're amazing!" Liang Jiabao didn't know whether to admire Xiao Ran's screenwriting ability, or to admire his typhoon when facing reporters: "However, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask, why can you write so many blockbuster films?" And none of them are low-grossing at the box office! β
Xiao Ran suddenly chuckled in his heart, this question had to be dealt with properly, and he thought about it before answering: "Actually, the script has always been the most important part of film production, and I just made this a little better." I'll try to make the subject interesting and make them feel like it's worth it. Of course, the most important thing is that I work with very good directors and filmmakers, so that such a good script can be played. β
"How did you feel when you were writing the script?" Liang Jiabao's sudden question was very strange.
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, there are not many scripts that really belong to him, only the prequel of "The True Color of Heroes". It's hard for him to describe the feeling of writing a screenplay, but when he thinks of the applause and accolades he received in the cinema, he knows the answer: "I think it's a kind of indulgence, as if at that moment, you are the god of this world, you use your hands to create it all, to make people feel joy and sorrow in your creativity!" β
"The Hand of God" -- this is the word of praise that Liang Jiabao used to describe Xiao Ran in his Ming Pao article on the third day. In the article, he mentioned the last paragraph that Xiao Ran said, and praised Xiao Ran in any way with this very exaggerated word.
The Hand of God soon defeated Xiao Ran's original title of 20 million screenwriters and spread widely among the people. Even the circle gradually called Xiao Ran the Hand of God, of course, that was just a nickname. However, Xiao Ran likes this nickname very much, and this feeling is indeed very much like God.
The next day, Xiao Ran asked Wei Dongling to send red envelopes to the whole company and the members who participated in the production of "God of Gamblers", and then went to the restaurant to meet the filmmaker. In fact, the filmmakers tried to talk to Xiao Ran about buying this film a week ago, but Xiao Ran wanted the gang to be nervous, and after talking about it for a while, they deliberately delayed it until now.
In fact, it's definitely good to drag it down like this, and anyone has seen the box office numbers that are still skyrocketing. This time, what he wanted to meet was a few filmmakers selected by Wei Dongling after finding out the details of the other party, which basically decided the cooperation idea.
Lin Guiyun is a Taiwanese film company, another is the general agent of Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore, and the other is South Korea. After arriving, I said hello to the filmmakers, sat down and ordered a drink, and then slowly and methodically inspected for a week and said: "The Phantom Company has just started, thanks to everyone's appreciation, I also want to cooperate with you very sincerely!" β
Lin Guiyun is a scheming guy after all, seeing Xiao Ran say a completely nonsense opening, his eyes flashed, but he remained silent. The Filipino film dealer impatiently asked Xiao Ran through the translator (I won't mention the translation later, everyone cares): "Boss Xiao, let's talk about buying films!" β
What is Lao Cheng? Xiao Ran felt that his current appearance was too old to be good, and he thought that maybe sometimes he should dress up younger. After pondering for a while, he said to everyone: "Several of them are famous local film companies, and I invite everyone to come together this time because I want to talk about the purchase of this film." What do you think of your plan......?"
*****
The public version may have to adjust the speed next, and this period will not last long, so I hope to get everyone's understanding and support.
