Chapter 55: Champion of the Year

After coming to this era, as he went deeper into the film industry, the more Xiao Ran knew more. Those who have the ability in the film industry may not be able to get ahead, and chance and relationship are the most important. For example, Xiao Ran heard Lin Lingdong complain that a certain guy hastily wrote an ordinary script because he had some kinship with the senior management of a certain film company, which was quickly approved and entered the film industry.

Even the positions that pay great attention to technical surnames such as photography and art director also rely on relationships to come in, and Xiao Ran naturally scoffs at this. If you are really capable, it is not a big deal to rely on relationships, but it is very ordinary, which is not interesting.

Looking back at the films of the ** decade, Xiao Ran found that many films at that time were really ordinary in terms of art and photography. He once thought it was because the production time was too rushed, but now it seems that there are many mediocre people, and these people who come in by connections are not blocking the way for other capable people to advance.

This situation is undoubtedly very deformed, for example, why was Huang Lotai and Duke Feng able to win four or five photography awards each in just 20 or so years? The reason is very simple, just because there are too few photographers in Hong Kong who have the style and ability to do it. Without a choice, as long as they want to make a good movie, they come to them, and naturally they are the only ones who win the award.

After the Phantom opened, it advertised all kinds of film talents, production, photography, art direction and action direction. As long as they come with their work, pass the interview, and get a good evaluation, they have a good chance of signing with the Phantom. Therefore, there are really a few filmmakers signed by Phantom that Xiao Ran doesn't know.

Let's continue to talk about Mo Tianxin, this Mo Tianxin is very interesting, and he actually picked Xiao Ran, the boss, when choosing the second male lead. Mo Tianxin's reasons are very sufficient, and they are also very reasonable: "Boss, your image is very suitable, and you have experience in acting, but the salary is not high, it is precisely for budget considerations that you are so casting." ”

Xiao Ran was lucky not to vomit blood, because he found that his resistance was much stronger than before. However, he still secretly complained that it was not easy to deal with such a meticulous person. He is so busy now that he doesn't even have time to find Fang Ruoxin, and he still goes to be an actor, just kidding!

Considering that he was still filming "God of Gamblers", Xiao Ran refused to star. Mo Tianxin didn't insist anymore, but with a stroke of the pen, he immediately replaced Liang Jiahui, on the grounds that Liang played such a polite role as it was quite suitable. Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire Mo Tianxin's vision, because he knew that "Prison Storm" was indeed played by Fa Ge and Liang Jiahui, and it also aroused the spark of acting skills.

Thinking of Fa Ge, Xiao Ran smiled. Fa Ge is very affectionate, and Xinyicheng made him popular, so he only filmed for Xinyicheng before the production of Xinyicheng. However, fortunately, with his relationship with Xinyicheng and Fa Ge, he successfully borrowed him this time. Fa Ge even promised this confidant who directly made him popular that as long as his contract with Xinyicheng ended, he would join the Phantom.

There are still two films to be filmed on the contract between Xinyicheng and Fa Ge, which are the prequel and sequel to "The True Color of Heroes". As long as you get Fa Ge and Lin Qingxia, the phantom will have a pillar, and it can barely compete with Xinyicheng.

However, this is clearly still early. Xiao Ran now has to face the problem of funding, the audience needs visual stimulation, and at present, except for Golden Harvest, no one will spend a lot of money to buy the most advanced equipment in the United States. Even Xinyicheng and Debao only use relatively good equipment to save costs.

Xiao Ran remembered this when he recalled the old days when it was still a video tape era, if it was a film made by Golden Harvest itself, the picture and film quality were often better than the works of other companies. This is the advantage, the courage that really belongs to a large company.

Xiao Ran is eager to have such top-notch equipment, and no audience will want to watch a film with blurry pictures. Even if it is an action movie, it needs clear pictures and good audio-visual effects to make the audience feel excited. But he didn't have any money, so he decided to talk to Fang Ruohai about this issue.

Fang Ruohai, this kid really knows how to enjoy life, and every day he stays in the hotel, he has sunshine and beauty. However, if Xiao Ran wanted to talk to Fang Ruohai about money, he could have finalized it on the phone. As for what he has in mind, I don't know for the time being.

When he came to the Regent Hotel, Xiao Ran made a phone call to Fang Ruohai in the lobby, and soon knew that the kid was now basking in the sun by the pool with his sister. Xiao Ran was overjoyed and hurriedly hurried, and saw Fang Ruohai lying lazily on the chair from afar, putting on a comfortable posture of arriving home.

But what Xiao Ran paid attention to was not Fang Ruohai, but the woman beside him, Fang Ruoxin, who had an outstanding figure and better appearance. hurriedly came over to say hello to the two, and Fang Ruohai asked his sister to give up the chair to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran took off his clothes and lay down, feeling really great.

"If you have time, you should have more fun, it's boring to work all day!" Fang Ruohai waved his right hand, as if to introduce how beautiful all this was: "What's the matter this time?" ”

Perhaps it was an illusion at work, Xiao Ran faintly smelled a strange virgin fragrance, glanced back at Fang Ruoxin on the chair next to him, and then turned around and said: "In a word, the phantom is short of money now, and you have to make another payment to the account now." ”

"Spent 10 million in just one month?" Fang Ruohai was not surprised, he just took the opportunity to tease Xiao Ran: "You are much bigger than me, by the way, have you read today's newspaper?" The top 10 box office lists are out. ”

Before the words fell, Fang Ruohai smiled and handed a newspaper to Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran flipped through it and found the entertainment page. The top ten box office in 1986 did come out, and the champion was "The True Color of Heroes", and four films on the list were written by him.

"Look at Ming Pao Weekly again, they analyzed the results of this time and praised you fiercely!" Fang Ruohai admired his vision a little, and was able to search for Xiao Ran, a screenwriter baby, among some filmmakers in Hong Kong. He thought, no matter how bad the phantom is, as long as there is Xiao Ran, a gold medal screenwriter, there will be money to be made.

Xiao Ran browsed it and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Another article in Ming Pao Weekly published a draft of Liang Jiabao's last interview, and I think they had planned it a long time ago. In this article, Liang Jiabao even thinks that Xiao Ran is the first screenwriter in Hong Kong, and the only regret is that he has not won the award, otherwise the name of the first screenwriter is definitely deserved.

What Xiao Ran noticed was that "North and South Shaolin" entered the top ten box office lists, and Li Lianjie fell silent after this film until the explosion of "Huang Feihong". He thought that it was time to win over Li Lianjie, otherwise if he missed this treasure in the future, it would be called a loss.

"It's all luck!" Xiao Ran knows that in the Chinese world, humility is more important than everything. Even if he saves the world, it can only be said to be a trivial matter at best.

"There is something that I may need your consent and help with, but I don't think it's a big deal." Fang Ruohai looked at Fang Ruoxin when she said this, and the love in her eyes moved Xiao Ran slightly: "You know, Ah Xin is very playful, today she saw the news, and she suddenly wanted to be an actor and act in a movie." I guess you won't say no, right? ”

She? Xiao Ran suddenly felt extremely stunned, and couldn't help but turn his face to look at the face and delicate body that fascinated him deeply, but it was still so cold and so cool, as if they were not talking about her.

Of course, if she wants to be an actress, of course, no one can resist this charm. The question is...... Xiao Ran couldn't help but still spoke to Fang Ruoxin: "Ah Xin, you have to tell me, do you do it because it's fun, or do you want to keep doing it?" This is important. ”

Fang Ruoxin turned her head slightly and glanced at Xiao Ran, this moving color almost made Xiao Ran's soul fly away: "Play first, and talk about it later!" ”

It's cold, it's cool! Xiao Ran only has such thoughts now, this woman's temperament is undoubtedly excellent, and because of her good background, she is not even inferior to Lin Qingxia. And what moved him the most was nothing more than this.

Fortunately, after Xiao Ran got acquainted with Fang Ruohai, he often saw Fang Ruoxin, and he was a little used to the current feeling of this beauty, otherwise he would not have been fascinated by this look. Calming down slightly, he pondered for a moment, so that he couldn't sign a long-term contract with Fang Ruoxin, as far as the phantom was concerned, it was not a cost-effective approach.

However, for the sake of the person of your dreams, it doesn't matter if you do it once. Moreover, Xiao Ran thought that if she could act with this Fang Ruoxin, she was afraid that she would be able to deepen their relationship, so that she would have the opportunity to pursue her.

"No problem, Ah Xin, wait a minute, you and I will go back to the company to sign a short contract!" Xiao Ran quickly made a choice, looking at Fang Ruoxin's eyes gradually blurred, as Fang Ruoxin turned his head indifferently, he came to his senses and said to Fang Ruohai: "Ah Hai, at present, the Phantom plans to start filming three films at the same time, and it's time for your funds to arrive." There are also the terms in the contract, and you can pay 10 million to the account now! ”

He handed the budget report to Fang Ruohai, Fang Ruohai browsed it, then nodded and agreed: "No problem, I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow!" ”

Xiao Ran doesn't like this feeling, really big companies, such as Golden Harvest, have enough money to invest in making movies. And this way of pulling investment is really not as pleasant as imagined, but they have a contract first, and it seems that it is not impossible to execute.

asked Shang Ruoxin to rush back to the company together, and along the way, Xiao Ran didn't know how many jokes from the future he told Fang Ruoxin, but he never succeeded in achieving his goal, which made him depressed to death. Could it be that this Fang Ruoxin is a person who is indifferent by nature? Xiao Ran doesn't believe in this evil.

At present, there is no extra heroine for Fang Ruoxin, and after thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ran can only give up the role of Wang Zuxian in "God of Gamblers". As for Wang Zuxian, Xiao Ran decided to sell a big favor. Letting Fang Ruoxin sit in the office like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, Xiao Ran called Wang Guxian and told her that the role was canceled. However, the company decided to let her star in another big-budget new film.

Wang Zuxian has no regrets about losing this role, but is very happy. After all this, Xiao Ran called Yu Jiayu to sign a short-term contract with Fang Ruoxin, which was the end. It's just that when he said that he wanted to send Fang Ruoxin back, he was indifferently refused.

Wei Dongling walked into the office with a sad face and complained to Xiao Ran: "Ah Ran, I really can't do this job of yours, and the company's personnel are in chaos." I don't know what you thought at the beginning, but you have to wait until a year later to reorganize! ”

Xiao Ran was silent, he was not good at management, and the plan before the establishment of the company was only his general direction. However, I didn't expect this first step to be wrong, and it seems that this life is really full of variables.

"Do you know that the outside world is laughing at our company for not knowing how to manage at all!" Wei Dongling was very indignant, but Xiao Ran understood that with Adong, the top master of management, there was still such chaos, it was really ......

After listening to Wei Dongling's description, he pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "Reshuffle!" ”
