Chapter 132: Fighting the Golden Statue Again
He laughed and talked for a while, and a Rolls-Royce stopped at the end of the red carpet. Xiao Ran didn't need to look at it to know that it was Fa Ge's car, Fa Ge liked this brand of car very much, and there were even four or five cars at home. However, Xiao Ran still kept his eyes on that side, because he wanted to see what effect he had deliberately created.
Fa Ge came out, but he ran to the other side to open the door for a person, and what came out was a woman with softness and strength. This woman is Feng Fei'er, not so much a woman, but a girl, and she is still a little youthful in the end.
The reporters were even more amused when they saw Fa Ge being so pretentious, and after thinking for a long time, they remembered that this was the woman on the poster of "Dark Flower", so they quickly picked up the camera and took pictures. Feng Fei'er was a little flustered at first, she had never experienced such a battle, but she quickly calmed down.
"She's the Phantom's person, right? Very typhoon, promising! Mei Yanfang looked at Xiao Ran's smile with some meaning in it, and guessed that this scene was designed by Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded, it was true. Feng Fei'er and Su Renyao are the stars that the Phantom Company wants to support, and now this opportunity is undoubtedly very suitable for use. Originally, he planned to come by himself, but after thinking about it, he gave up, he was worried that the reporters would guess the relationship between him and Feng Fei'er.
"No matter how red you are, you can't be red!" Xiao Ran joked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's a pity, it's because you're so popular, so Tian Lai doesn't dare to dig you at all, it's a pity." I've always wanted to work with you once! ”
Mei Yanfang's eyes flashed with a strange light, disappeared in an instant, laughed cheerfully and left, and threw a sentence to Xiao Ran: "If you don't try, how do you know that I refuse to pass the gear?" ”
Xiao Ran looked at the lonely back of Mei Yanfang entering the scene, and couldn't help but feel slightly sad, this is a very strong woman, she has a career but loses love, and her fate is not very good. Just recalling Mei Yanfang's words, Xiao Ran suddenly felt happy, being able to get her will definitely make Tian Lai Company take another step in his career.
Why did Mei Yanfang leave this sentence, there is a lot of relationship between it! The whole circle of people knows that Mei Yanfang likes Liu Hua, but the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, and they are not in love. In the history that Xiao Ran knows, Mei Yanfang once put the famous big record company and did not stay, but went to the record company that signed Liu Hua to confront Zhang Guorong, who was also a friend, and the meaning of this is naturally self-evident.
Now it seems that Mei Yanfang obviously has some thoughts about Tian Lai Company, otherwise she would not have thrown this sentence so simply. After a while, he suddenly felt that someone was patting his shoulder, Xiao Ran turned his face to see that it was Hong Jinbao.
If you are someone else, when the four major companies are against Xiao Ran, you may not dare to be so intimate with Xiao Ran. But Hong Jinbao's surname is straightforward and hard, and few people dare to stop what he wants to do. Before Xiao Ran could cry out in pain, Hong Jinbao laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ah Ran, you are really good, you have been shortlisted for so many awards this time." ”
Xiao Ran secretly praised, Hong Jinbao's heart is very careful, this sentence is just talking about Xiao Ran's own achievements, not expanding to the Phantom Company. This meant that he was talking to Xiao Ran with a personal relationship and avoided gossip within the alliance.
"Where, if there was no promotion from Brother Hong, I might not be able to have today!" Standing in today's position, Xiao Ran has absolutely no reason to slap Hong Jinbao's sycophants from any angle, but he just said so.
Hong Jinbao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, he didn't think that Xiao Ran was slapping the horse, with Xiao Ran's identity, there was no need to slap anyone's ass at all. The most important thing is that he knows very well that Xiao Ran has a lot of respect for his predecessors in the circle, which is the reason why he has won popularity and reputation. I saw him pat Xiao Ran again and said, "I'll go in first, and I'll go out and have fun together when I have time!" ”
This time, no one else came to disturb Xiao Ran again, Lin Qingxia had already come over, and the two entered the arena with a smile. Coming to the somewhat noisy venue, Xiao Ran frowned slightly, glanced around and walked over to the two brothers.
Don't think that Mai Dangxiong's works are very realistic and cruel, and his people are very cruel. In fact, the two brothers are very strong and stable people, and when the two saw Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia coming over together, they hurriedly stood up with a smile and said hello to Xiao Ran.
Mai Dangxiong's work is the only one that can be compared with Xu Ke's studio in this era, and it is also the most balanced in strength. And Mai Dangxiong's "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" became the second in the selection of the 100 best Hong Kong films in the past 100 years, which shows how classic this film is.
What Mak Dangxiong is best at is the gangster theme, or rather, he is the best at gangster movies. Don't look at his directorial works only "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" and its sequel, but almost all the films he supervised can be called his works. It's like "New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are not directed by Xu Ke, but the whole world knows that they are Xu Ke's works.
The production system that is now in vogue in Hong Kong was pioneered by Mak Dang-hung, and he and Siu Ruo-yan have produced many classics. In the early 90s, the addition of Pan Wenjie made this group a very famous Golden Triangle, and classic films such as "Lame Hao" and "The Emperor of Shanghai" and "The Emperor of Shanghai" were all created by this extremely famous Iron Triangle.
It's a pity that I didn't make movies later, but went to Shandong Province in the mainland to become a member of the CPPCC! Xiao Ran sighed secretly, but his eyes were seriously looking at Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan. Xiao is a little weaker, and as for Mai Dangjie, who has ordinary ability, Xiao Ran almost completely ignored it.
It's not the first time they've met, the big circle of the Hong Kong film industry just doesn't know each other, at least they've all met each other. Xiao Ran shook hands with Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan, and said, "I've always wanted to get to know Mr. Xiao, and now I've finally met you, it's an honor!" ”
"Where, your surname Xiao has done a lot better than me!" Xiao Ruoyuan couldn't help but be a little flattered that Xiao Ran valued him so much.
"In that case, would you be interested in doing it with the Phantom?" Xiao Ran's eyes swept over the faces of the two, and he smiled faintly: "You all know that Phantoms have always wanted the best, and you are the best!" ”
Mai Dangxiong smiled very sophisticatedly, and politely refused: "Thank you Mr. Xiao for your face, but we have a contract with Haile Group, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!" ”
Xiao Ran smiled faintly, this result had already been expected by him. Fang Ruohai, this guy is very wise, and he has recruited the two major film studios in the film industry at one time, of course, there is no reason to let it go. However, it was unlikely that Xu Ke would continue to work with Fang Ruohai, because Xiao Ran promised him to invest in the establishment of a production company for him, with only 60% of the shares.
Don't think that Xiao Ran was stupid to offer such wonderful conditions to Xu Ke, now the phantom is transforming into a distribution company. To do distribution is to get enough distribution agency rights, so as to be able to make money. On this basis, investing in Xu Ke to start a production company, and the distribution is done by Phantom, which is actually like the relationship between Warner and its new line.
After talking to Mai Dangxiong and them, pulling a friendship and laying a good foundation for the future, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia went to their positions, and suddenly bumped into Liang Chaowei halfway, and said hello and invited him to sit together. Liang Chaowei just thought about it, and then agreed with a smile.
By the way, I said hello to Wang Jing, Zeng Zhiwei and other interesting guys in the circle, and they came to their seats. The organizing committee of the Academy Awards is obviously vaguely aware of the grievances between the alliance and the phantom, and this time the seats are even clearer.
There are basically no big-name stars in the Xinyi City system, although Fang Ruohai paid a high price, no one was willing to get close to him, but sat in a relatively neutral position. However, Golden Harvest and Debao were very annoyed that Fang Ruohai arbitrarily raised the price of the actor, because it was likely to cause another round of increase in the actor's asking price.
Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the big four companies have no intention of giving up their current allies. However, it is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction among them, which is exactly what Xiao Ran expected, but he didn't expect that before he could do it, the alliance would start to fight.
Everyone is in the same industry, there must be conflicts in business development, Xiao Ran didn't take this alliance in his eyes at all before, because he knew very well that as long as he retreated a few steps to come out, then the alliance would definitely crack in order to compete for interests.
Glancing at his right side, there was Debao's seat, looking over there, Xiao Ran smiled faintly. Pan Disheng lost a lot last time in the Lunar New Year stalls, and if the theaters were not allowed to join forces, it would be very easy for "Rich and Powerful" to have a box office of more than 20 million. However, it was far from the figure Pan Disheng expected, and if the box office of this film was transferred to Golden Harvest, this naturally caused his dissatisfaction.
Glancing at Fang Ruohai who was sitting far away, Xiao Ran had deduced from Wei Dongling before that by this time, Haile was estimated to have been rectified. I'm afraid that's why I couldn't spare my hand to deal with the Phantom before, and now that I've pulled out my hand, it's ......
This year's Academy Awards were hosted by Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Yuling, but I have to admit that these two are very old and spicy hosts, and they can always properly mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, attracting laughter, but there is a bit of Oscar flavor.
The first award was for Best Music (i.e., the Film Score Award), and the Phantom Company's three major dramas were all shortlisted in this category, and the winner was "God of Gamblers" Lin Daoyun. Lin Daoyun immediately showed ecstasy when he heard it, this was the first film he made a soundtrack, but he didn't expect it to get off to a good start. It's a pity that Lu Guanting was shortlisted for two films of Phantom, but he didn't win the award.
Next is the best newcomer, nominated by Mei Yanfang's current boyfriend Lin Guobin, as well as Huang Guangliang in "Prison Storm", Chen Songling in "Ghost Horse Campus", and Wu Zhenyu in "God of Gamblers".
In this regard, Xiao Ran is still quite optimistic about Wu Zhenyu, although his current performance is still quite orthodox, but he plays the villain very badly and is very sure. After the guests shouted: "Wu Zhenyu, God of Gamblers", Wu Zhenyu immediately jumped up and whispered to Xiao Ran, who was not far in front of him: "Brother Ran, thank you!" ”
Xiao Ran smiled congratulatorily, Wu Zhenyu made sense to say this, if it wasn't for his guidance, Wu Zhenyu, who had never starred in a movie, would not have won the award. Next up was the Best Movie Song, and among them, the Phantom was the only one with Lu Guanting from "Prison Storm". Originally, Huang Zhan of "A Chinese Ghost Story" won this award, but unfortunately this film has not been released yet, so naturally he is not eligible to win the award in this year.
The best art director was won by Zhang Shuping, and he is finally about to start the award-winning process of this super cow. Fa Ge, who was beside Xiao Ran, couldn't stop laughing, and then suddenly asked, "Ah Ran, do you think the company can win?" ”
"What do you think?" Xiao Ran smiled, it's hard to say whether he can win or not, but he can be sure that Fa Ge has won it this time. Because Fa Ge won four nominations for the first time this time, "Dragon and Tiger", "Prison Storm", "Autumn Fairy Tale", and "God of Gamblers", which are absolutely unprecedented.
Every time Xiao Ran thought of this, he felt extremely proud, because now Fa Ge was about to be held on the altar by him. In fact, Fa Ge is now firmly the number one actor in Hong Kong, and the Golden Horse and Golden Statue take turns to win it, and he won the actor at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. But Xiao Ran felt that it was not enough, he wanted to hold Fa Ge to a position that mortals could not touch.
Lin Qingxia heard the question and answer between the two, and couldn't help but interject: "I think I can definitely win, and I guess it must be "God of Gamblers" who won the most!" If you only look at the affection for Xiao Ran between her eyebrows, of course Fa Ge immediately knew that Lin Qingxia was completely trusting Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran is not nervous, not nervous at all, this is a very strange feeling. Soon he found the reason, because of his identity, it was difficult for him to be excited and nervous about such a thing anymore. Unless, the award presented is nominated by him.
It is said that Cao Ying, Cao Ying. As soon as Xiao Ran thought about it, he heard Zeng Zhiwei on the stage squeezing his eyebrows at Xiao Ran, Zheng Yuling simply looked at Xiao Ran here, and now even fools know that the next award is the best screenwriter.
*****
My new book "The Legend of the God of Gamblers" will be officially released on December 1st, and I hope to get everyone's support at that time!
