Chapter 177: The Unity of Man and Play
Zhu Guangli smiled, of course this is for sure. It's just that his laughter doesn't come from this, but because of some of the following. Xiao Ran continued to browse, and when he saw the guests to be invited on the day of the show, he was immediately stunned.
The guests they planned to invite were Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and immediately couldn't help laughing: "You guys are really bold, you actually hit me with the idea." ”
Zhu Guangli couldn't stop laughing, he had worked in the company for a while, and he knew that Xiao Ran was not the kind of person who had a fight, and he knew that Xiao Ran always liked to treat other people as friends under normal circumstances. If it were someone else, how dare they have such an idea.
Xiao Ran thought about it calmly, there were also Fa Ge and Liu Hua on the first batch of guest lists for the show, and after thinking about it slightly, he knew that this could achieve an eyeball effect. It's a pity that Xiao Ran doesn't want to be played by others, and of course Lin Qingxia can't. So, he shook his head slightly: "Qingxia and I won't participate, change two people!" ”
Zhu Guangli immediately felt a pity, if Xiao Lincoln participated, then the ratings of this issue would definitely be super strong. In any case, he is full of confidence in the show, and of course, this confidence is also backed by the Phantom.
As for my guess, it is the same to find the future Wu Tianwang who developed in Taiwan. Anyway, ATV launched a Mandarin channel, and such a host is very needed. As for artists, Xiao Ran has long set the rules for artists to learn Mandarin. Those who don't understand Mandarin are basically excluded from the list of popular people.
Most of the other shows are fine, the key is the TV series. Xiao Ran has long thought about what kind of grand occasion it would be if all the film actors in Hong Kong were gathered to act in a TV series or movie. I'm afraid that no matter how bad that film is, it will be regarded as a classic.
It's not an easy task, though. First, the cost is definitely not small, Xiao Ran even bets that as long as the first-line actors in Hong Kong are gathered, the production cost of this TV series can exceed 100 million. Second, many times, the schedule is not staggered.
If such a film is really filmed, "Dragon Babu", or "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is definitely a very good theme. Thinking of Datang, Xiao Ran had an idea. It's better to start training a few actors who are very suitable for this drama from now on, shoot a little a year, and finish filming within ten years.
It's just that this is a little absurd, Xiao Ransha is funny. However, this idea can be used in movies, such as "Infernal Affairs". Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart moved, if Liu Hua and Liang Chaowei are used to play the scenes of his youth now, then he will film "Infernal Affairs" ten years later, so that he will have a particularly real sense of vicissitudes.
Wei Jiahui was waiting slowly outside the office now, he didn't quite understand why Xiao Ran had brought him here. The level of his "Peace Hotel" is sufficient, with the cooperation of the marketing department, the box office is not bad, more than 20 million, after all, this is the peak of Fa Ge's popularity, and any film has a good box office.
He was a little skeptical that Xiao Ran was planning to let him come back to make TV, to be honest, he wasn't uninterested in making TV. It's just that after making a movie, I go to TV, which is inevitably a bit degenerate. Just thinking about it, Zhu Guangli opened the door and beckoned to him.
Seeing Wei Jiahui come in, Xiao Ran got up from Zhu Guangli's chair and came to the sofa to stare quietly at Wei Jiahui, the gold medal producer. Now his mind is full of confusion, he is really reluctant to give Wei Jiahui to ATV, but if ATV does not have Wei Jiahui, it will definitely be difficult to beat wireless in terms of dramas.
How can we convince Wei Jiahui? It's a real headache. At this moment, Wei Jiahui, who has always been keen, seemed to see through Xiao Ran's intentions, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Ran, you want me to come to ATV to do dramas, right?" ”
Xiao Ran exhaled, for half of his master, he was unwilling to push down the fire pit with his own hands, although ATV was really not a fire pit: "You know, it's a trouble to be with wireless now." So, in terms of episodes, I'm sure you'll be able to do a great job for ATV! ”
"No problem, but I'll only stay for three years at most, you see!" Wei Jiahui smiled secretly, in fact, he felt that he was a little powerless when directing "Peace Hotel". He thought it was necessary for him to hone it again, otherwise why would he take the initiative to make this request.
"Now that you are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, you can take the salary of the phantom, and the artificial photos here will be added!" Xiao Ran relaxed, wanted to solve a problem, and joked happily: "You may not know that Ali is willing to pay a high price to get you!" ”
"It's okay, the candidate recommended by Hong Kong's No. 1 screenwriter, what am I against!" Li Guangli deliberately said with a bitter face and frustration. Xiao Ran and Wei Jiahui were happy.
ATV's results are quite good, Zeng Zhiwei, who was coaxed and deceived by Xiao Ran, performed well, and the ratings immediately became the top in Hong Kong after the super invincible award gate was launched. However, this is mainly due to the effective publicity, and the second is also because the actors of Fa Ge are all big stars that everyone knows, and the charm of stars. And the winners have always had quite good ratings, and it is easy to invite some stars close to the Phantom.
For a while, the whole day was full of things about this prize gatekeeper. However, some variety shows such as I guess that were broadcast later have achieved good results, especially those programs broadcast on Mandarin channels, which have quite a certain audience in Southeast Asia.
And Wei Jiahui also lived up to Xiao Ran's trust, and the success of dramas such as "Intolerable" quickly promoted him as one of the famous gold medal producers in Hong Kong. Under Xiao Ran's "creativity", Wei Jiahui quickly brought out several talented apprentices in ATV, and all of them became the pillars of ATV.
By mid-June, the scenes of "The Love of People and Ghosts" were all filmed, and only the last scene where the hero and heroine finally met was completed. The difficulty lies precisely in the last scene, Chen Kexin discussed with the art director for a while, and then found a special effects team to exchange ideas and concepts with the members of the crew. He then instructed the action director on the height and angle of the tightrope in the final scene, and the director of photography also discussed with Chen Kexin for a long time before deciding what kind of lens to use.
Xiao Ran was also studying with Lin Qingxia how to shoot the last scene, and discussed for a long time, and both agreed to interpret this scene with the method of overlapping roles. With the shout of the assistant director, Xiao Ran looked at Lin Qingxia who was shrouded in a pillar of light in front of him, every inch of skin was so tender and white under the pillar of light, it was thrillingly beautiful, and it seemed to have a sacred taste in it.
Xiao Ran was completely stunned, looking at Lin Qingxia's perfect figure, he only felt as if his heart was cracked, and he completely forgot that he was acting at this moment. He didn't dare to imagine that if Lin Qingxia left him, then he would still have the courage to live.
The feeling of the heart cracking gradually spread to the whole body, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia did not speak, and Luo Lan on the side did not speak. Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia looked at each other like this, as if there was only one other left in the world, and there was only her or his existence in their eyes.
Xiao Ran slowly walked towards Lin Qingxia, who was bathed in white light, and the expressions of the two were equally sad and inexplicable. Eyes were communicating, and Xiao Ran approached Lin Qingxia step by step as if no one was around, just a stone's throw away.
"What are they doing?" The photographer was confused, but Chen Kexin, who was so excited, yelled: "Look at the camera, don't look around, what I want is this effect!" ”
That's right! Chen Kexin felt that his blood was about to boil, this was what he wanted, and it was definitely the kind of picture he wanted but couldn't get. Just when he was excited, Lin Qingxia had been hoisted higher and higher by the tightrope, Xiao Ran only felt that his heart was gradually sinking, and his angel left him like this.
Lin Qingxia saw Xiao Ran's loveless eyes in the air, if she realized that this was acting, she was afraid that she would immediately break free from the tightrope and jump down. It's a pity that she has completely forgotten that she is acting now, and sometimes under the overlapping mood, the actor's performance can often be radiant, which is one of the reasons why many inexperienced young actors can shine.
With Chen Kexin's almost roaring cut, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia still couldn't break free from the play, but still looked down or looked up at each other in a daze. There is no half a sentence, but every continuous look is always communicating, just like a sad text in front of people.
It wasn't until the martial artists let go of their hands and put Lin Qingxia down that the two suddenly remembered that they were acting, as if they were afraid that the other party would disappear in front of their eyes, and hugged each other tightly. Xiao Ran closed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but feel the urge to cry.
And the impact in Lin Qingxia's heart was even more powerful, and it was already irrepressible to let tears flow on Xiao Ran's shoulders. Xiao Ran took a few deep breaths of air, expelling the completely grief-stricken emotion in his heart, and then he barely suppressed the urge to cry and gently soothed: "We will never be separated, no one can force us to separate, even Shangyanjing can't!" ”
As he got closer and closer to that day, Xiao Ran became more and more nervous. This matter is definitely not trivial, if it is not handled well, the time for the Phantom to advance to the mainland will only be delayed by several years. He worked hard to get the right to interview, and sent a team of reporters to record the truth. That moment finally came, nothing had changed, what should have happened happened.
Luckily, it didn't happen, especially the most horrific scene. To put it simply, those few days have become relatively sharp events, but some of the things that can make Western countries create public opinion have disappeared. (Don't dare to write more, this is the end of the matter, don't ask why it has changed, don't dare to write.) )
In short, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, the worst case scenario did not happen after all. Hong Kong is only slightly in turmoil, there has been no outflow of assets of the last scale, and even the volatility of the stock market is very small.
At this time, "Mom Loves Me Again" was released in the mainland, and the box office was a mess. is considered a performance, which obviously gave Xiao Ran a revelation, what doesn't work in some places may not work if you change places.
In July, the preparations for the Phantom Rookie Contest hosted by Ethereal and Star and co-organized by ATV were completed, and they began in the middle of the year. The sales work of this rookie contest is still not bad, and there are not many people who sign up for it, but according to ATV's calculations, the ratings are still quite good.
The preliminary round and the semi-final are not broadcast live, and those who can enter the finals are not on stage until they are finally able to enter the finals. In this way, everyone will find out that the original image of so-and-so is not very good in the future! The influence of the first session is not great, and the harvest is not much, but Xiao Ran doesn't care about this, the key is that the follow-up force can be guaranteed.
Also in July, Xiao Ran personally received Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi's radiant appearance now really made him a few years younger, took the card coffee handed by An Yuxuan, and saw him out of the room, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, thanks to your reminder, I was asked to greet you and express my gratitude." ”
"It's nothing, it's all Chinese, it doesn't matter if you thank you or not!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, his stomach was full of bitterness, Jiang Zhi obviously came here to ask him how he guessed this, which made him answer: "Now that it has stabilized, it can't be better!" ”
"We're all curious, though, how did you guess?" Jiang Zhi's smile receded, leaving his sparkling eyes staring at Xiao Ran: "Don't tell me that you dreamed of it!" ”
Xiao Ran was not surprised at all by what Jiang Zhi knew he had said to Guan Xin, and his mind was spinning rapidly. This reason, or rather an excuse, he had already thought of it, but he believed that it was really unconvincing: "It's very simple, after I watched "Choice", I found that the situation was similar, and you didn't make any moves, so I was worried that if the situation was bad, it would affect my business!" ”
Jiang Zhicai was really relieved, because of Xiao Ran's last deliberate sentence. In short, this is not easy to do, Jiang Zhi knows very well that he has not thought of getting any explanation, but he just wants to figure out this Xiao Ran, who originally thought he was very clear, but in fact it seems that there are still many secrets.
Looking at it now, Xiao Ran obviously has no ambitions, at least he should have no ambitions for politics, just a businessman. Quickly came to this conclusion, Jiang Zhi was in a happy mood: "Why can it affect your business?" ”
"That's the secret of business!" Xiao Ran deliberately smiled mysteriously, in fact, he didn't want to mention this matter again. Suddenly, he thought of something and said quietly: "Last time, the mainland planned to send someone to study, but now I think it's time!" ”
It was indeed time, since that incident had not happened, Xiao Ran did not have to worry that this group of students would be able to make the outside world suspect that the phantom was very close to the mainland. Jiang Zhi obviously knew about this, and he stood up and waved his hand after a moment of silence: "You all know that the boss originally planned to make Hong Kong a base for Chinese-language films, especially in recent years, Hong Kong films have been so prosperous!" ”
"So, I don't think it's a big problem, as long as you can take as much as the Phantom can take, I'll give you as much as I want!" Jiang Zhi's face was full of red light, and his mood was also very happy. If Hong Kong can become a base for Chinese-language films, then the silver capital will definitely rise.
After talking to Jiang Zhi about the movie again, Jiang Zhi left, but before leaving, he suddenly smiled and said to Xiao Ran: "Huang Qun asked me to tell you, he thanked you!" ”
