"Hey, celebrity interviews are a new show, this time, we invited Mr. Xiao Ranxiao, the richest man in the limelight recently, to ask him to talk about himself!" This wireless celebrity talk show was actually opened after suddenly seeing Xiao Ran so popular, and it was Zheng Yuling who hosted the show.

"I wish this show more and more prosperous!" Fortunately, Xiao Ran had taken the time to learn some etiquette before, otherwise, now I am afraid that I am a little restrained. Before the change, appearing on a TV show must have made him a little nervous, but it was not the first time for him, and he had experienced so many ups and downs, so he was naturally calm: "However, I still hope that everyone will call me Director Xiao, or screenwriter Xiao!" ”

"Why? Wouldn't it be nice to call you rich, it's a status symbol! "The shows hosted by Dudu are always a little funny and a little funny.

Xiao Ran looked at Dudu and chuckled: "I've always regarded myself as a filmmaker, you know, sometimes money can't bring satisfaction, unless I like to sleep with money in my hand every day." And being a director is different from being a screenwriter, it is a real sense of accomplishment, a kind of creation! ”

These words were obviously very liked by the audience, and Dudu clapped his hands and suddenly said: "No wonder I always feel good when I get paid and don't see the film I acted in when it is released in the cinema, it turns out that it is because of this." However, Mr. Xiao, everyone wants to know how you got to where you are today! ”

It's a success! Xiao Ran smiled in his stomach, and on the surface, he naturally showed a very mature manly smile: "Success is a very broadly defined word, sometimes people regard earning 100 million as success, and some regard success catching up with a lady as success." And for me, when the film I directed or wrote was recognized by the audience or the Golden Horse Awards on the screen, it was a success. ”

"You are very cunning...... Dudu saw that Xiao Ran said it funny, laughed a few words and said: "Avoid answering my questions!" ”

Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to maintain a good relationship with Wireless, and if it wasn't for the relationship with Dudu, he would basically not be on this show. After thinking about it for a while, he took a sip of water before saying, "Can it be kept secret?" However, everyone knows that I started as a screenwriter, which shows that anything and any profession has a future, and the key is whether we are willing to stick to it. ”

The audience at the scene laughed, and they suddenly liked Xiao Ran's frankness. Sister Dudu also smiled: "Then can you talk about your journey from 20 million screenwriters to the Hand of God, everyone is very interested in your experience, you are the only one who can make a fortune by making movies in two years." Except, of course, Mr. Shao. ”

"It was a hard process, and it seems boring now." Xiao Ran didn't answer this question directly, but avoided it: "Actually, I once said in the Baptist Association when I was training the screenwriting team of Phantom Company, don't stick to the rules as a screenwriter, let alone try to do the same as others. I think it's all the same as being a human being, always trying something different! So, I chose the movie, and the audience in front of the TV can choose something different. We all know that there are different needs in this world, and where there is a need, there is a market, which is eternal. ”

The program chose Xiao Ran as the guest of the first episode, which was obviously correct, and the viewership of this show was as high as 3 million, which became a record that this talk show kept until it stopped.

Out of the studio, Zheng Yuling and Xiao Ran went to the dressing room together, and when they were putting on makeup, Zheng Yuling suddenly pointed to Xiao Ran in the mirror curiously and asked: "Brother Ran, your beard is so beautiful, I want to ask you before the last show, why do you have such a beard?" ”

Xiao Ran was very depressed, although it was just a beard, it could be said to be beautiful, it was really ...... smiled cheerfully: "It's nothing, I think it's good to keep it, so I stay!" ”

Zheng Yuling glanced at Xiao Ran a few times strangely, this Xiao Ran was too different from the one she knew before, he looked like a mature man of thirty years old, steady and optimistic and cheerful, definitely a very attractive type.

Thinking of the strength of the Phantom Company, and most of the films produced are high-quality works that are qualified to win awards, Dudu couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said to Xiao Ran with a smile: "Brother Ran, when is there a play, don't forget to ask me to act." ”

Xiao Ran glanced at Dudu, Zheng Yuling was not very good for a period of time after Ninety-Seven, because she had acted in a lot of films that smeared the mainland before. In fact, it's not just her, many actors and directors who have done such stupid things have been banned for a period of time after 97. And for Xiao Ran, who admires her a lot, she is naturally reluctant to see this result.

nodded and happily agreed to her: "If there is a suitable role, I will definitely find you to audition!" ”

Now Xiao Ran is much easier than before, and after testing the ability of the new manager of the planning department, Xiao Ran has delegated some power. However, he still insisted on a boutique strategy, otherwise he would rather not shoot.

Du Qifeng and Wang Jiawei's new films have already opened, and Wei Jiahui's new films will be opened after the year. And You Hai also wrote a rather delicate script, in the case that Xiao Ran thinks that it needs to be revised, I believe that this book can be opened for You Zhi in the second half of the year.

In addition to these few, TVB's Li Lizhi also defected to the Phantom, Li Lizhi is good at comedy, but the whole world knows that this person is too dependent on Stephen Chow, and it is difficult to have a box office success without Xingzai. So Xiao Ran didn't care much about this person, but promoted some new directors from professional classes.

For a time, the Phantom Company opened seven or eight plays in the first quarter of 1988. Of course, three of these seven or eight plays are experimental works, and all of them are difficult to show in mainstream cinemas.

After Xiao Ran promoted a creative director, the right to decide whether to shoot or not to shoot was gradually decentralized. The company is gradually on the track, even if it is without Xiao Ran, it can still operate normally, which is the effect that Xiao Ran wants.

Guan Xin served as the company's honorary advisor, of course, to consult the mainland. Several martial arts masters pointed out by Guan Xin were late, but they all finally came. After being challenged several times by the local martial arts hall, more and more students were recruited, and everything went very smoothly.

Because of the pressure from Mr. Shao, Debao had to give up cooperating with the other three major cinema chains to chase Xiao Ran (because Debao's cinema line is rented). Moreover, even if they join forces, it is difficult to create too much pressure on the theater chain of the Phantom Company during the non-prime time, so the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and another film has passed 20 million smoothly.

And the work of Tian Lai has gradually stepped into the right track, and Liu Hua and Zhang Guorong have been brought under it. Xiao Ran hummed the most profound songs in his memory to the composer of Tianlai, and soon, in the rapid singing, he quickly became popular with several singers.

So, between February and April 1988, it was the easiest period since Xiao Ran started the Phantom Company. Fa Ge listened to Xiao Ran's opinion, did not have a large number of films, but was very selective, and basically did not discuss with the agent, but instead asked Xiao Ran, a discerning boss, if he would take the film.

During this time, Xiao Ran bought a yacht and often went to sea to relax. Occasionally, I go out of the country and go to Europe for a few days or something. During this time, Xiao Ran spent most of his time with Lin Qingxia, because he knew that when he was working, there was always someone behind him to support her, and now that he had time, of course he had to make up for it.

When he mentioned this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire how lucky he was, there was no paparazzi now, so few people knew about the matter between him and Lin Qingxia. If it was placed after the mid-90s, it would not have been turned out by the paparazzi for 18 generations of his ancestors.

Just a few days before the Academy Awards, even Wei Dongling took the time to go to sea together, looking at Xiao Ran's big yacht, he was stunned with hatred. Of course it's not jealousy, he hates Xiao Ran for leaving him off from work, while he and Lin Qingxia come to relax.

In order to vent this frustration, Wei Dongling blackmailed a meal from Xiao Ran. There are a lot of people who go to sea on this day, Zhang Guorong and Liu Hua, who gradually became popular in the music world because of singing the song "Secretly Fascinated", as well as Fa Ge and Zhong Chuhong are here. Zhong Chuhong is now a free body and has not signed a contract with any company. Of course, according to their friendship with Xiao Ran, it is impossible to say anything about filming for the current Xinyi City.

You must know that although few people know about the grievances between Xiao Ran and Fang Ruohai, or rather, the Fang family, the insiders still barely know a thing or two. The current situation is that Fang Ruohai has no popularity in the circle because of his sister, and he only relies on strong funds to impress people.

Xiao Ran's advantage is that his connections are now the most extensive in the circle, and he has some friendship with almost everyone. And this is extremely closely related to the fact that he is always very friendly to people with low status, as for Fang Ruohai, he is a little like Fang Ruoxin, but he looks down on him a little bit on the surface, which is a common problem for the children of the family.

However, Xiao Ran's advantage is not very large, and those who stand on his side are those who have a particularly good relationship with him and have strength. Although the others are slightly closer to the alliance because of the alliance of the four major companies, they are still somewhat unhappy.

The 7th Hong Kong Film Awards is much more star-studded than the previous one, not only because Hong Kong films have begun to appear with real superstars, but also because last year's broadcast fee was sold at a good price and got enough funds to raise it.

The Academy Awards, which gradually show authority and fairness, are what Xiao Ran wants, and this time the Phantom Company has received quite a few nominations. "God of Gamblers" received eleven nominations, while "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Prison Storm" both received seven.

With such a result, even if you don't win any awards, it is definitely an extremely brilliant achievement. You know, the other four companies combined, there are only so many nominations. In fact, Golden Harvest has always had little hope in the Academy Awards, and it is not as easy to win awards as the films made by some reading production companies that take the short and fast route.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia smiled at each other in the car driven by the sun, this time, Xiao Ran planned to no longer avoid the eyes of the media, but entered the scene with Lin Qingxia. Xiao Ran thought that if he could often appear with Lin Qingxia, it would be easier for people to agree with the news when he announced the news in the future.

After three minutes at seven o'clock, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia appeared on the red carpet, the man's masculinity was extremely strong, and the two mustaches added a bit of deep and mature meaning. The female is peerless, and her appearance is still the same as it was back then, but it has changed from pure to mature.

The appearance of them holding hands, in the eyes of reporters, is simply a seamless couple. As soon as the reporters thought of this word, they were immediately stunned. After being stunned for a moment, they all stepped forward to take pictures, Xiao Ran gave Lin Qingxia a look, let go of her hand, and went their separate ways.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Ran saw a familiar figure in front of him, and it was Mei Yanfang. Xiao Ran looked at this familiar figure, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, he couldn't imagine that he would be able to see the deceased person with his own eyes.

It's not that Xiao Ran hasn't seen Mei Yanfang, it's just that he was just a small screenwriter at that time. Later, I was busy with film work, and as a result, I pushed some parties that I didn't have to attend as much as possible, and I lost another chance to meet her.

And now it's time, Xiao Ran sighed in her heart, but she hurriedly took two steps forward to her side and chuckled and said, "Sister Fang, do you still know me?" ”

Mei Yanfang turned her head to look, and her eyes suddenly showed a ray of indescribable joy: "It turned out to be you, the famous diamond king Lao Wu, if you are photographed by a reporter friend like this, maybe they will be able to say that you are pursuing me!" ”

Xiao Ran and the reporters all laughed, Mei Yanfang is bold, this is known to everyone in the circle, but few people know that she is actually a delicate person, so this sentence narrowed the distance with Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran looked at the reporters' cameras with a smile, held her hand and said, "I think they are happy to have more news like this." ”

"It's really emotional!" took a photo, while the reporters were changing the film, Mei Yanfang looked at Xiao Ran carefully, and secretly praised Xiao Ran in her heart, but she couldn't help comparing Xiao Ran with another person: "When we met the year before last, you were still a screenwriter, and now you have become the owner of a film company, and you have become the top diamond king in Hong Kong, amazing!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, he likes to talk to such a cheerful person: "I'm a screenwriter now, if you don't believe it, the Academy Awards will definitely help me confirm it later!" ”
