"Get out? Decades in jail? At that time, I was old enough to die, so why bother myself! Mo Huaien's expression at the moment was a little free, which made Xiao Ran say a little respectful, those who can face death head-on are all brave people. Mo Huaien waved his hand at them, and reluctantly lay on the ground and fumbled for the gun: "Let's go!" ”

"By the way, Xiao Ran, do you love her?" Mo Wynn had an irrepressible urge to ask the question, and as soon as he did, he knew he was asking stupidly.

Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia glanced at each other, and tenderness was revealed in each other's eyes, as if they were the only ones left in the world. They laughed lightly at the same time, Xiao Ran only replied and walked out with Lin Qingxia: "What do you say?" ”

Seeing the back of the Xiao couple leaving, Mo Huaien sighed heavily, he really envied Xiao Ran. Now, however, he could not accept anything other than death. Xiao Ran's back doesn't look tall, but it is such a match for Lin Qingxia.

If you become a king or lose, you will have to die. In the realm of the winner, there is no room for the loser. Mo Huaien not only failed in Xiao Ran's realm, but also lost everything, and the only thing left may be self-esteem, and it was this self-esteem that made him choose to face death.

When he finally touched the gun, he pressed his head heavily on the muzzle, and the whole person lay on the ground panting heavily. I don't know if he regrets it or ...... now In any case, he knew that Xiao Ran had won, and by the way, he had expanded the Phantom's strength and become the well-deserved number one in Asia.

He thought that he might not be very miserable, at least according to his own thoughts, he was a very romantic and chivalrous loser. Although he lost his mind after losing, in the end he still got the dignity and romance that Xiao Ran gave him. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and pulled the trigger with all his strength......

Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia walked out of the house, and quickly a number of policemen rushed up to cover their departure. If it weren't for the sunshine and the monkey being vigilant, explaining to the police that Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were negotiating peacefully with Mo Huaien, I was afraid that the police would have rushed in a long time ago.

Xiao Ran was sent to the ambulance, he grabbed Lin Qingxia's soft hand and smiled softly: "I didn't expect you to be so strong and calm today, it's good to see you change like this." ”

Lin Qingxia also showed a smile for the rest of her life, since she became Mrs. Xiao, she knew that she must take some responsibility. For her, she has to learn to be strong in order to be able to help Xiao Ran, isn't she?

"It's finally over, I'm so tired, can you stay with me?" Xiao Ran's face showed a tired look, for all this, he spent a lot of brain power to get his current success. Once a person relaxes, he will break out with the tiredness that has been accumulating all his time.

Lin Qingxia smiled between her eyebrows, her delicate hand held Xiao Ran's hand tightly, and patted it gently: "Isn't it natural for a wife to accompany her husband?" ”

In their eyes, they have long ignored the crazy photos of countless reporters, and in their eyes there is only each other. Even if they knew, they wouldn't care about the journalists. There are some feelings that you don't need to be afraid of being known, don't you?

In any case, Xiao Ran won again. Strategically, he still didn't go wrong. However, in terms of specific work, he almost killed Lin Qingxia. Fortunately, it was only a close miss, and this allowed Xiao Ran to always protect Lin Qingxia very well in the future, so as not to become a victim in the future struggle.

This time the victory was not easy, and it took a lot of twists and turns. Not to mention the strategic level, the attack on Guoli's directors of their own enterprises alone has made Tang Yan and Wei Dongling, who participated in the plan, very distressed. Either way, Xiao Ran won, the Phantom also won, and he won the position of the leading Asian film, even though it all came so thrillingly.

However, this war is still not over, and Xiao Ran is still angry about the British political axe in Hong Kong. This time, he still won't sit still, although he still can't figure out why Hong Kong Yingzheng Axe plays him like this, but he still does it.

It's just that while putting pressure on Hong Kong Ying's political axe, he tested his tone and found that the other party had no movement, as if this matter had nothing to do with them. The next day, when the exaggerated details of the kidnapping were published in the newspapers, the news first ran the news that three film companies were suspected of money laundering.

In the next three days, more than a dozen film companies registered by the underworld successively broke out suspected money laundering. All of a sudden, the newspapers in Hong Kong were amazed, and they even hyped up the news and the kidnapping case very popularly.

On the fourth day, people from all walks of life in the film industry expressed their opinions one after another, and the underworld will never be allowed to tarnish the clean film industry again. On the fifth day, the director of film and television found all the four giants, and glanced at the four people with cold expressions: "Four bosses, the boss doesn't want this situation to continue, you better come out and suppress the scene!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, but didn't say anything, just took a sip of water. Pan Disheng looked at the director of film and television indifferently and said: "Director, you should know that we are not opposed to other companies entering the industry. However, they resolutely resist the gangsters. Now that the results of your registration restrictions are out, we can't help you! ”

The director of film and television smiled bitterly, it was really not easy to do in his position. The Hong Kong Directors Guild and the Screenwriters Guild have all said that if this problem is not solved within three days, it will be a street demonstration, and then it will be another big scandal.

"Four bosses, don't embarrass me, you also know that I can't be the master!" The director of film and television can't wait to let out a long howl to vent the depression in his heart, all he can do in this position is some small things, Xiao Ran is the one who decides everything.

Xiao Ran stared at the director slowly, "Since you know that you can't be the master, why do you come to talk to us and waste our time?" Report it and ask the Governor or Financial Secretary to talk to us! ”

Xiao Ran's tone was very stern, and the director smiled bitterly, and he just wanted to test him through him, but he was caught in the middle and found it difficult to be a man. Xiao Ran smiled faintly at this time: "Director, it's not that we don't give you face, at this time, if Hong Kong Yingzheng doesn't give us an explanation, it will be unjustifiable no matter what!" But don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you! ”

Lord Wilson was restlessly staring at the Director of Film and Television and Director McGoller, who was sitting not far away. Wilson is the current Governor of Hong Kong, while Michael McGaulle is the Financial Secretary. It is believed that the Governor of Wai Hong Kong is a good man, and the Lantau Airport is the plan he proposed, at least much stronger than that of his successor, Chris Patten.

Chris Patten did too much back then, not only repeatedly raising the salaries of civil servants, but also overturning the price of real estate, so that the economy of Hong Kong was dragged down by the residual poison of this bastard. What's even funnier is that this guy even had to take away the cutting board when he evacuated, and all the items such as computers were smashed by the British, saying that they would not leave anything to the mainland.

This also shows how drastic the British wanted to make money, and the Governor of Hong Kong could not avoid it. He did what the boss wanted, trying to create chaos in various industries and bring down Hong Kong's economy. However, at present, Britain still has some hope for Hong Kong, and it does not dare to do too much.

Before Governor Wei Gangdu stretched out his black hand to the film industry, he didn't consider Xiao Ran's power. Not to mention the rampant gangsters, it's just that Xiao Ran's huge influence is something he can't bear. He even believed that Xiao Ran was the only person in Hong Kong history who could mobilize nearly 20,000 film practitioners in Hong Kong in one day, but he still did it, and some things were done even if he knew he couldn't do them.

Hong Kong Yingzheng does not suspect that Xiao Ran is related to the mainland, after all, Xiao Ran's resume is very clear and the foundation is very clean. However, Xiao Ran's monopoly on the film industry is by no means something they are happy to see, and they don't want to leave this powerful tool of public opinion to the mainland.

Governor Wei didn't expect Xiao Ran's reaction to appear until now, and now he understands a little, but he doesn't fully understand. It's just that he can still see the current intention of Xiao Ran, which is to put pressure on the Hong Kong British political axe and force him to pay for what he has done.

What could he do? Standing in such a situation, as long as he dares to say no to Xiao Ran, I believe that this incident will definitely appear in the media of Southeast Asia and even a British newspaper that was acquired by the Phantom in three days. At that time, Xiao Ran didn't put pressure on him, but directly gave him a look.

Of course, he seems to have forgotten that Xiao Ran is still the godfather of gangsters in Hong Kong. Xiao Ran considered letting the gangsters cooperate to do things and put more pressure on the Governor of Weigang, but considering that it was easy to damage the economy, he didn't implement it.

"Meccal, why don't you go for me, you know I have a very important meeting tomorrow!" The Governor of the Harbor only thought about it for a moment, and soon found a substitute for the dead. He was different from the previous governors, who were diplomats and were only familiar with Hong Kong affairs.

Mecca shuddered, and her face was bitter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It's very simple, but it's not easy. Xiao Ran meant to make it clear that he forced Hong Kong to admit defeat on this matter, of course the governor of Hong Kong was unwilling to lose face, and the Financial Secretary happened to be the top boss of the film and television department, so he shouldn't go.

The next day, in the financial secretary's office, McCarlet smiled reluctantly and looked at Xiao Ran. The other three didn't come, in fact, this matter was provoked by Xiao Ran at all, it doesn't matter if they come or not, both sides know it.

"Chief Mai, did you invite me just so that I could enjoy the tea here?" Xiao Ran leisurely cocked his feet and waited for the foreigner to speak: "But although the tea here is good, I still like my office!" ”

"Mr. Xiao, that's right, the Governor of Hong Kong unfortunately has an important meeting today, so I can't come to see you in person. He has entrusted me with greeting you and giving me full authority to discuss the whole thing! Mecca hurriedly put down his arrogant expression and squeezed out a smile on his face: "You know that the political axe has always been very supportive of the film industry, so ......"

Xiao Ran smiled lightly, if he could be fooled so easily, then there was no need to play so hard: "Support is not a superficial thing, I think Director Mai is also very clear." This time, we in the film industry just want to figure out, why is the political axe open registration restrictions, don't you know that this is luring wolves into the house? ”

"Look at Mo Wynne, what a dangerous character!" Xiao Ran secretly shouted in his stomach not to be surprised, and then continued: "I am afraid that the money laundering case a few days ago has also confirmed this, and what I don't understand the most is that the Hong Kong political axe has always boasted of not interfering in the economy?" Why wasn't the Phantom allowed to increase actors' salaries in the first place? ”

Mackar Le suddenly said that the political axe does not interfere in the economy, which is one of the reasons why Hong Kong's economy has taken off. But a few months ago, they did intervene, and they complained that Xiao Ran was deliberately trying to force them: "That was the wrong decision of the top management at the beginning, and we are thinking about correcting this, and the price of the industry should be determined by the market, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Ran stared at Mai Jiale with a smile, but didn't say anything, only stared at Maijiale and said in his heart: "Mr. Xiao, I hope you and the film industry can understand our difficulties, and we must let this turmoil subside!" ”

"Me?" Xiao Ran smiled easily, he was really laughing now, not pretending. He admired the British very much, he didn't pay anything, and he actually wanted to convince him like this, which was amazing: "I can't, I'm just a nobody, I can't do anything!" ”

Mecca gave this a stubble, and I don't know how many words I cursed in my heart. I saw his eyes roll and smile slyly: "Why don't we each give in a step, what do you think?" ”

"Concessions? Why should I concede? Xiao Ran stared at Mejiale with a strange expression, if it weren't for everyone knowing the details of the other party, he would really take this as true: "I negotiate with people, and I have never liked to bargain. ”

Mejiale was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was time to take out the hole cards: "Mr. Xiao, you might as well talk about your conditions, no, it's your requirements." We'll try to think about it, after all, you're a person with status! ”

Xiao Ran didn't know how many times he laughed in his stomach, and the British may not lose to the Chinese in terms of face. It's just that on the surface, he still sat quietly with a smile and said: "Since someone has done something wrong, then you have to take responsibility, I think the political axe should show courage." What do you think? In terms of films, the political axe must safeguard the interests of the film industry and issue relevant detailed laws. Of course, the registration conditions I am allowed to open! ”

Xiao Ran really didn't need to obstruct the opening of the registration, he was just angry that the Hong Kong British government attacked him with a black hand, so he exerted pressure. Registration is actually a matter of time before it opens, anyway, the underworld is firmly controlled by him, and there is no need to worry about this aspect at all, and blindly restricting it is definitely not a good thing for the market.

Xiao Ran's focus is not on the registration restrictions, he just wants to teach Hong Kong Yingzheng Axe a lesson through this, and tell Hong Kong Ying that the Phantom of Hong Kong Yingzheng Axe is not at the mercy of others. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to be overly attached.

Two days later, Hong Kong's political axe agreed to amend another law to make certain adjustments to the gangster's invasion of the film industry. Half a month later, the director of the Bureau of Consultation took the initiative to resign, which was regarded as giving Xiao Ran an explanation.

"Mechanical Warrior" was released with an irresistible momentum under the joint efforts of the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong, with the box office exceeding 4.5 million in the first day, exceeding 10 million in three days, and finally being released in 40 days, with a total local box office of 51 million, becoming the third box office in Hong Kong film history. So far, the top four of the top ten box office in Hong Kong film history are all the works of Phantoms, and no one can resist the myth of Phantoms.

In Asia, the film broke the record set by "Spy", and the box office reached more than a billion. In Europe, this film is not as good as "The Love of Ghosts and Ghosts", but it has surpassed it in North America. In the end, the global box office accumulated to 2.6 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing Asian film, second only to "Ghost Love".

"Bloody Street", which played against Taiwan at the same time, suffered a bit worse, and the box office only reached 20 million. It doesn't matter, though. Because of the release of Phantom and the staggered release time, the overseas box office is still quite good. The Phantom successfully ate Hongguo's contract and film, and those who should come back are all back. Individual actors and filmmakers who betrayed the Phantom were also forgiven and returned to the Phantom.

At this time, the reporters understood what Xiao Ran meant that day, and they were shocked that Xiao Ran was far-sighted and wrote this matter in the newspaper. The Shaw Clan didn't dare to cross the thunder pool in the slightest, for fear of attracting a fierce attack from the phantom, or even more afraid that Xiao Ran would come to a similar conspiracy.

No one in Asia has dared to challenge the Phantom Group, and the Phantom has strengthened itself in one challenge after another after several unknown cruel tests and challenges. This time, the most important link in Xiao Ran's strategic vision has finally been completed, dominating Asian films.

And the largest European publishing company and South Korea's Xijie were also acquired by the Phantom because Guoli and Hongguo were acquired by the Phantom, and the Phantom controlled the absolute controlling stake. For Phantom, the benefit of all this is that it controls not only the local distribution network in South Korea, but also the largest distribution network in Europe. The Phantom said that the films after the Phantom can continue to conquer the European market, and this line is absolutely great.

On the other hand, after the Phantom acquired Guoli, in addition to retaining the technology patents, the others were spun off and sold after the performance improved. And two years later, when Guoli was split and sold, it was sold for a total of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the purchase price of the Phantom was only 4 billion, which can be said to be a big profit on it.

In the same year, Phantom won the rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, cooperated with Warner, and finally earned $100 million in North America like Golden Harvest in history. At the same time, Shuxiang is vigorously developing comics, and uses many of the ideas given by Xiao Ran to make comics, trying to get a share of the comics industry.

In the cartoon, the Phantom special effects team and the animation team were officially separated in the second half of the year, after receiving some outstanding talents from Pixar. An animation production company named Fantasy was established, and an extreme special effects company was also established.

After the Fantasy spin-off, a large number of high-level staff members were continuously installed in the domestic network, and many investment contracts from ATV were accepted. Started to produce feature-length cartoons, as well as movie cartoons and the like, and advertising was also part of its business.

Extreme special effects are no longer exclusively for phantoms, and since "Robo Warrior" became famous in one fell swoop, almost all special effects production in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia has found its head. It's just that special effects production is not a simple thing, it takes time and patience, so there is not much work to be done.

Of course, for Xiao Ran, everything is just the beginning. When he rested enough and the Phantom recuperated, it was time to start challenging Hollywood. And these are some strategies for the future, so let's go back to the passionate years before.

Don't forget that Xiao Ran's purpose is just a movie, he didn't think about becoming the richest man in the world, and he didn't think about how much money he wanted. For him, who has experienced another life and death, all this is just a numbers game.

It's just that he knows that only after this number game is played wonderfully and successfully, he can make movies with peace of mind. So, he spent a lot of energy to play, and when all this came to the current level, he didn't need to worry too much about this game, it was enough to have Wei Dongling play for him. Movies, that's what he wants, isn't it?

In the second half of the year, Phantom Shadow has carefully selected acquisition targets from Bank of China Loan around the world, including newspapers, magazines and television stations, to establish the prototype of a multinational media group. On the contrary, it did not make too many acquisitions in the film sector, but focused on the media industry.

In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of September, and Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia returned from traveling. After coming back, Xiao Ran has been thinking about how to develop the mainland market, which is extremely crucial, if there is no mainland market, he will definitely not be able to compete with Hollywood.

The sequels to "Spy Change" and "God of Gamblers" are time to start filming, and he has thought about it for a long time, but he still can't think of any suitable person to direct these two films. Himself? No kidding. With the popularity of these two films, it is inevitable that they will sell out, which can take the opportunity to promote newcomers, and it is not necessarily necessary for Xiao Ran to direct it himself.

The Phantom now has at least five signature dishes, and "Three Heroes of the East" has finally been accepted by the market after Xiao Ran subtly guided the market and the audience. The gloomy style of fantasy is fortunately not too strong, and the box office results are quite good.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Hong Kong and even Southeast Asian markets are showing a variety of themes. The situation of following the trend has been well controlled because Xiao Ran has been well controlled under the coordination of the Film Association, and everything is developing in a good direction.

However, how long can the overseas market last? Xiao Ran didn't know that in some parts of Southeast Asia, Hong Kong-made films overwhelmed Hollywood films and occupied a considerable market share. The problem is that no one knows when cultural protection policies will be introduced in these regions. At that time, once these policies are introduced, Hong Kong films will be bleak.

This is particularly important to develop the mainland market. In fact, there are not a few Phantom films released in the mainland, about thirteen or fourteen films were released in the first half of the year alone, and the box office is the best in China. However, if you want to enter the mainland in a big way, I don't know when it will take.

At the beginning of this year, Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen got married, and at the beginning of the year, Brother B finally became a father, and Zhang Manyu also broke up with Er Dongsheng. And the robbery of Liu Jialing, which Xiao Ran had feared, did not happen, so it can be seen that history is not necessarily the same as what he is familiar with.

Now the burden on Xiao Ran's shoulders is much lighter, because the main work has been handed over to Wei Dongling. He is now basically only responsible for the company's major strategies and directions, and his usual job is to continue to make his own films.

What is your own movie? Xiao Ran thought it might be like "Gunfire" to Adu. My own film is to make the movie in my mind, not a commercial film. It's just that he obviously hasn't figured out what his movie will look like yet.

In desperation, he had no choice but to continue to make commercial films. In the racing series, Xiao Ran only wrote the first two parts, and the rest were handed over to the screenwriter team to work. In a sense, racing films are acceptable in both the East and the West.

In fact, there will be similarities. Whether it's love or action movies, there is always something in common. The key is not to stuff a lot of Eastern culture into the West, once such a situation occurs in the film, it is always difficult to have a better ending in the West.

Hong Kong car god Chen Jiafeng is a very flamboyant guy, even when he sees Xiao Ran, he is also very flamboyant, and his eyebrows are raised. However, he does have a lot of crazy capital, and legend has it that he is the number one driver in Hong Kong, and even the professional drivers are not fast enough for him.

In addition to Chen Jiafeng, there is also a retired driver Guo Dong who came to the Phantom Company. Interestingly, Guo Dong has been glaring angrily after seeing Chen Jiafeng. Xiao Ran was curious: "You knew each other before?" ”

"Meet ......" Guo Dong held back for a long time, and the depression on his face disappeared: "He won me before!" However, he forced me to race! And there is no decent track here in Hong Kong. ”

"Whatever the method, you lose, don't you?" Chen Jiafeng raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "Guo Dong, don't talk about any track, you have to admit it if you lose!" ”

"Alright, stop!" Xiao Ran stood up and looked at the two of them who were bickering, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, he suddenly realized a problem, and hurriedly asked: "You say that there is no decent track in Hong Kong, is this true?" ”

Guo Dong nodded, Hong Kong is a big place, where is there a suitable track? In normal times, their racing cars are also raced in places such as Clear Water Bay, where there is relatively no difficulty, no great corners, and can only be said to be simply fighting fast.

That's true! Xiao Ran was a little depressed, wouldn't this mean that he had to revise the script? Just when he was distressed, Chen Jiafeng sneered: "Who said that there is no suitable track in Hong Kong? I'm just afraid that your skills won't be able to pass the test! ”
