He Guanchang was stunned, Yang Qi was also stunned, and even Pan Disheng was stunned. They seemed to understand the meaning of Wei Dongling's words, but they didn't seem to understand. Seeing that everyone looked like they didn't understand, Wei Dongling glanced at everyone with a stern expression, and his voice suddenly became very cold: "Do you know that when Mr. Xiao used to write scripts, he rarely wrote scripts with the same theme?" Because he is avoiding repetition, which is taboo in any artistic creation! ”

"This year's zombie movies are hot, and every company is following the trend until the shooting is rotten. Romance films will be popular next year, and then continue to follow the trend. Xiao Ran walked to the table in Wei Dongling's cold tone and said, slapping the table suddenly: "Ten years later, all the themes have been smashed by you, what else are you shooting?" ”

This palm seemed to slap everyone's heart, and they finally understood what Xiao Ran meant. In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't know the damage of following the trend, it's just that Xiao Ran can't see through it, and everyone is rushing to shoot, if you don't shoot yourself, it will be tantamount to a loss. Under all kinds of peculiar psychology, following the trend is naturally formed.

"No one came out to plan the market before, and now the Phantom has stepped forward to promote this!" Xiao Ran looked at everyone present, everyone looked at him, and the feeling of ruling everything was wonderful.

"Now, I'd like to know what everyone means!" Xiao Ran swept his sharp gaze towards everyone's eyes with a smile, and then slowly lowered his eyes and said softly, "Who is in favor?" Who is against! ”

Oh my God, it feels amazing! Xiao Ran now finally knows the domineering attitude of Liang Jiahui when he said this sentence in "Black Gold". is indeed domineering, of course, Xiao Ran is not referring to his own domineering. is Liang Jiahui in "Black Gold", that is the real gangster brother, but it is only on the screen.

No one knows Xiao Ran's funny psychology now, even Wei Dongling doesn't know. Yang Qi and Pan Disheng each have their own calculations, although Yang Qi and Xiao Ran are friends, but this business is still clearly good.

Yang Qi and Pan Disheng soon saw an opportunity in it, and the intensification of Hong Kong films following the trend was a major reason why they were not hopeful about the future. And now Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling's proposal can obviously stop this kind of following, as long as a certain proportion is set for various themes every year, so that they are not afraid to follow the trend.

Even if they don't understand that the coordination of the subject matter means that a hundred flowers bloom, it means balance, and it means that various themes can maintain a certain degree of freshness and creativity to the greatest extent, so that the audience can distract from a certain theme. However, they can know that this is beneficial to the film market.

For Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, they were only surprised, because no one had thought of this coordination method before. Moreover, even if they wanted to, the gangsters would not agree to this so-called gangster. It is only possible to succeed when the gangsters have gradually disappeared from the entertainment industry, which is one of the main reasons why Hong Kong films have been unable to suppress their followers.

Although they knew that this would be tantamount to letting Xiao Ran control the Film Association, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang both knew that this proposal was something they could not refuse. After all, they are film merchants, and profit is the most important thing. Moreover, the Phantom's strength is well deserved.

There was silence in the large conference room for a full two minutes, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling were still observing everyone's expressions, and they wanted to judge from them which ones could be kept and which ones could not be kept. is harmful to the development of Hong Kong films, Xiao Ran will definitely kick it out immediately. For example, Jiahe, if Jiahe doesn't agree this time, then Xiao Ran will immediately make a move to Jiahe when he turns around. At this point, he could no longer allow anything to go wrong with the rear base.

"I agree!" The first to speak was Yang Qi, the young man's head is good, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh secretly, but forgot that he was younger than Yang Qi. Yang Qi gently blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and then said quietly: "This is definitely beneficial to the long-term coordination of the market!" ”

"We all agree!" Zou Wenhuai and the others all nodded and agreed, but Zou Wenhuai was very depressed and took the lead again. It's just that he didn't intend to hand over this power to Xiao Ran, and opposed Xiao Ran's leadership in disguise: "However, I think this matter can be handed over to Chairman Wu, and they will set the annual ratio!" ”

"Really?" Wei Dongling smiled coldly, for Jiahe, he had wanted to move away for a long time, but Xiao Ran had a good heart and always wanted to leave a way to live for Jiahe. He beckoned to An Yuxuan, took a few documents and threw them on the table: "Does Mr. Zou think that Chairman Wu can know more about what the annual ratio should be than us film companies?" ”

Among the materials thrown out by Wei Dongling, there were more than a dozen investigations, all of which involved the proportion of the proportion. This surprised Yang Qi and the others, only then did they know that Xiao Ran had been planning this matter for a long time, otherwise how could he come up with these investigation reports so quickly.

Comedies, cops, gangsters, disasters, wars, science fiction, literary films, horror films, and other genre films, these investigations are all very clearly written. It is no exaggeration to say that you don't even need to study it, because the report has already given three weighting options to choose from.

Pan Desheng was immediately dumbfounded when he saw the detailed classification above. His Debao is good at comedy and action movies with female surnames, that is, police and gangster films, plus literary films, and rarely involves other aspects at all. In this way, it means that he has to coordinate this ratio with other companies, or simply shoot other subjects.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but question: "Hong Kong can't afford war films, disaster films and science fiction films at all, why give this ratio?" ”

Xiao Ran had already sat down at this time, and when he saw Pan Dey asking, he said slowly: "Who said that Hong Kong can't afford to make these three kinds of films?" If you want to hit Hollywood, you must have these three films, otherwise everyone will wait to be occupied by Hollywood! ”

"I forgot to tell you something...... Wei Dongling's rough voice actually let out a silver bell-like laugh, which made Xiao Ran almost kick him: "A science fiction film with a production cost of 80 million invested by Phantom has started filming!" ”

Eighty million! Hiss! The conference room suddenly fell silent, if they could hear their hearts, then Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling would definitely be able to hear everyone gasping in their stomachs. Everyone is thinking, Xiao Ran must be crazy, can he recoup the cost by investing 80 million? Moreover, I have never heard that the Phantom has any financing partners, which means that the Phantom is invested by Reading Power, so it is really scary!

Eighty million! It's a crazy number, 80 million is definitely a super investment in more than a decade, let alone now. However, when I thought about it, the liquidity that the Phantom stayed to invest in filming was as high as one billion, and everyone was relieved, and only the Phantom dared to invest so much.

For Yang Qi and Pan Dee, the two young entrepreneurs were even more shocked. It's not because of this number that shocks, it's because Xiao Ran has always been ahead of everyone. When they were still making films with an investment of several million, Xiao Ran was already making twenty or thirty million. When they started making 10 million films, Xiao Ran started making 80 million films. If they continue like this, they can't keep up with Xiao Ran's pace at all.

They also know that everything needs to be done in order to get the most benefit. Now Xiao Ran is walking in front of everyone, whether it is the quality of the film, the box office, or even the development of overseas markets. What should they do to keep up with or even catch up with the Phantom? This will be what they will consider.

"If you're curious, then I think that film will be released in the summer, so if you're interested, you might as well enjoy it!" Xiao Ran smiled with satisfaction, this is what he wants. He wants to stimulate other film companies with lucrative profits and stimulate them to improve their competitiveness.

"But here's what I'm trying to say!" Xiao Ran swept across the week, making everyone shrink their necks: "Every industry has its own rules, if anyone dares to violate the rules, I will definitely kick him out!" ”

Just looking at the looks of other people, He Guanchang knew that the general trend of Jiahe had gone, and there was absolutely no chance of recovery. Now Golden Harvest has fallen to the downfall of the Shaw Brothers a few years ago under the competition of the Phantom, if it weren't for the support of a group of old courtiers such as Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, I am afraid that the Golden Harvest Empire would collapse at any time.

Thinking of this, He Guanchang sighed deeply, now that the Film Association is also indirectly controlled by Xiao Ran, the subtext in Xiao Ran's words is: The industry rules I have formulated, if anyone dares to violate them, they will definitely be out!

At this moment, he couldn't help but have the idea of retreating. At that time, they were the old courtiers of the Shaw Brothers, and they were all extremely important high-level officials, and finally defected from the Shaw Brothers en masse. At that time, they were young and energetic, and with their supreme vitality and vision, they forced their old club Shaw Brothers to announce the suspension of production, ending Shaw Brothers' hegemony of dominating Hong Kong films for decades.

And now, the appearance of the phantom is like the Golden Harvest back then. No, it should be more ferocious than the Golden Harvest back then, it only took three years to smash Golden Harvest from the peak to the trough, Golden Harvest is now aging, not enough aggressiveness and ambition, just want to keep the business, and the result is destined to withdraw from the stage of the Hong Kong film industry like Shaw Brothers.

No one can fight with the Phantom, and the Phantom got more than 70% of the film distribution in the Hong Kong film market last year. And that's just Southeast Asia, not the mainland and Europe. If it's Europe, it's 100 percent, because the films released in Europe last year were all released by Phantom.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling glanced at each other and showed a relaxed smile. In this way, if he controls the Hong Kong film industry, until now, the Phantom is the real leader in the Hong Kong film industry. As long as he controls the film industry, Xiao Ran can rest assured that he can guide other companies in the right direction.

However, there are still some miscellaneous insects that are interfering with all this. Xiao Ran hesitated whether to give Jiahe a pot away, but this old company fell into his hands like this, which was too regrettable, and He Guanchang was really a good person, Xiao Ran was a little unbearable to do this.

"The second thing I want to do today is to coordinate with you about the release of the film!" Xiao Ran inspected again for a week, in fact, there are still many problems in the Hong Kong film industry, but they need to be solved step by step: "Everyone knows that the box office of films is one of the main revenues of various companies......"

Where is one of the main incomes, it is simply the main income! No other company can make such a huge profit in the distribution of video tapes, and besides, Sihai does not know how much money it makes from the video tapes smuggled into the mainland. Video tapes are an absolute profiteering industry, with profits as high as seven or eight hundred, and excluding all kinds of expenses, they can earn more than four or five hundred percent. It's just that the current circulation of the video tapes is still small, so it is not as good as the box office (including overseas distribution) revenue.

"However, in the film market, there are often scenes of two families fighting." Xiao Ran stared at He Guanchang, although this sentence did not specifically refer to Jiahe, but he definitely did not run: "Is this profitable?" Or do you think it's funny to be a self-slaughter? ”

Xiao Ran pointed out an important point, the films released at the same time may have a box office impact on the opponent, which is undeniable, otherwise everyone does not need to come up with the best films for the summer vacation and Spring Festival!

This kind of shopping is inevitable, and even the Phantom sometimes has to fight for losses, and let a film that originally had box office potential fall into the picture, just because a new film is coming again. What's even more exaggerated is that the phantom has not appeared to fight himself.

The most typical ones are "People and Ghosts" and "New Dragon Gate Inn" last summer, if it weren't for the huge momentum effect caused by "People" before, and in order to create box office records, they insisted on letting some theaters continue to be released. Then, it is not difficult for "New" to exceed 40 million at the box office.

This is somewhat similar to the former grabbing the latter's legs, while other common cases are to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall. The simple understanding is that a box office that is expected to exceed 20 million at the box office has to give way to another film that is expected to get 30 or 40 million because of the schedule, that is, to take the box office of the former to the latter.

Don't think that the box office is nothing, in fact, for the vast majority of audiences, the box office is the key to measuring the quality of a film. When a film has a high box office, it will naturally attract curious audiences. And the box office is high, another advantage is that whether it is a video tape or an overseas release, the price can be sold a little higher, and the benefits are obvious.

Even the Phantom's own films are prone to shopping, not to mention the films of other companies. This problem is obviously something that everyone wants to solve, they may not all like to fight like Xiao Ran and Haile, do business, and seek wealth in harmony, not necessarily to bring down each other.

Li Xingguo stood up again and said excitedly: "Mr. Xiao, do you have a way to solve this kind of problem?" ”

Li Xingguo's Meiya International Group is still not good at distribution, and production is also an important part of its business, for example, Xiao Ran's impression is very deep that Tianxia Film Company is one of its companies. Therefore, there is definitely a reason why Li Xingguo cares about this.

Everyone is also focusing on Xiao Ran, if this can really be solved, everyone's profit will definitely be higher every year. Xiao Ran smiled, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looked at Yang Qi leisurely and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to do it. We all know that comedy and action movies target different audiences, so the impact on each other is minimal. And we can coordinate the release schedule of the film to miss the release time of similar films of various companies to avoid losses! ”

Li Xingguo thought that Xiao Ran had some good ideas, and when he saw Xiao Ran give such an answer, he couldn't help but be disappointed. In fact, it is not impossible to do this, and the companies with good relationships are already doing it. It's just that what Xiao Ran wants is not a small hill composed of a few companies, but the coordination of the entire film market, and everyone's focus is different.

"Each cinema chain in the summer vacation and Spring Festival stalls can accommodate the staggered release of at least two films, and there are four cinemas in Hong Kong, which means that there can be as many as 16 films that can be released in these two prime times!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, in fact, there are sixty or seventy theaters in the film theater, not to mention two, even if there are four at the same time, the problem is not very big.

It's just that those four films are just for other companies. For the Phantom, this number is just a coincidence, because the films released in prime time are all large-budget commercial films carefully concocted by the Phantom, and they all have a strong ability to sell well.

Take last year as an example, last year's top ten box office lists, the starting point of the list was as high as 30 million. And Phantom has seven films on the list, and the other three companies each have one film on the list, and Cheng Long has been squeezed out of the top ten lists for the first time. It is no exaggeration to say that last year the Phantom appeared almost as a monopolist.

In this way, everyone is in good spirits, and everyone wants the prime file. However, small companies other than the Big Four know that prime time is generally reserved for themselves, and it is difficult for small companies to get it.

"As long as it can be staggered, any schedule can avoid shopping to the greatest extent!" Xiao Ran looked around, everyone was thinking. In fact, this is definitely not impossible, but it requires everyone to be willing to give in! Of course, if you don't want to give in, you can fight, Xiao Ran doesn't care about these. "Try to stagger the time of the same type of film, so that you can make as much profit as possible!"

This was settled, and it was quickly agreed. Next, what Xiao Ran wants to mention is a very important matter, as far as he is concerned, the importance of this matter is definitely not inferior to the theme coordination: "The third thing is that I require all companies to maintain the ratio of actors' salaries to production fees at least one to four!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar immediately, what a joke, one to four! It's not that he doesn't know how high the salary of celebrities is now, the salary of stars in a film is generally more than two million, plus the cost of extras and supporting actors, which is simply forcing other companies to raise the production fee to at least 10 million or more.
