Chapter 96 The Grading System
Xiao Ran went home in the evening, and sure enough, when it came to Xiao Han as an actor, he was immediately vetoed by Liang Shaohao. made Xiao Han coquettish with Xiao Ran all night, which made him depressed and enjoyable.
The next day, Xiao Ran went to Lin Qingxia, and as soon as she announced to her that she had obtained a driver's license, she smiled and said, "Ah Ran, for your driver's license, I have prepared a gift for you!" ”
Xiao Ran was slightly stunned, and came to the garage with her, and suddenly found a sky blue BMW, and it was obviously new. Xiao Ran was surprised, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but was unexpectedly seen by Lin Qingxia and asked, "What, you don't like it?" ”
"I love nothing!" Xiao Ran was very depressed, he had always felt that he should take care of Lin Qingxia by himself, not the other way around. Although he is not a machismo, Lin Qingxia gave him such an expensive car, which made him a little unacceptable.
Lin Qingxia is a smart woman, and she knows what Xiao Ran is thinking with a turn of her eyes. The look of joy gradually faded, and she said in a low voice: "It turns out that you don't like me to give you things, is it actually that important?" As long as we're together, no one cares about that! ”
Listening to the strong affection in his tone, the string in Xiao Ran's heart was touched, and he immediately felt that all this didn't matter. looked at Lin Qingxia's eyes sincerely and said, "No, I may have been a little unhappy just now, but now I'm very happy, really!" ”
"By the way, how do you know I like BMW?" In fact, Xiao Ran had an idea when he was very young that if he wanted to buy a car when he grew up in the future, he would definitely buy a Chinese-made Hongqi. However, as I grew older, this idea gradually changed. However, he really likes BMW, and every time he sees someone else's BMW, he will eagerly look at it for a while.
"That ......" Lin Qingxia twisted before saying, "I asked Brother Xin and Adong, and they told me!" ”
Xiao Ran gently pinched Lin Qingxia's hand, and he suddenly felt that he was lucky to be able to get Lin Qingxia's favor. Perhaps in addition to supporting Hong Kong films, this is his biggest gain since coming to this era.
"Adong, when are you going to find a girlfriend, otherwise I won't dare to let you come to such a scene next time!"
Xiao Ran teased Wei Dongling, and Lin Qingxia next to him covered her mouth and snickered. This is a charity dinner, and there are a lot of messy banquets, but Xiao Ran doesn't need to attend everything because of his growing status.
However, tonight's charity dinner was a little different, with not only some celebrities and wealthy people present, but also important officials from Hong Kong and the British government. For example, the Deputy Secretary for Finance and the Director of the Film and Television Division have both arrived.
The film industry was not invited much, the heads of the three major film companies came, and several of the most famous actors such as Zhong Chuhong and Fa Ge also came. Except for the three major companies, the Phantom was the only one invited, and even Xiao Ran felt a little flattered when he received it.
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia greeted each other all the way, and they saw Fa Ge and Zhong Chuhong, the best couple on the screen, talking to people. Xiao Ran glared at Wei Dongling, glanced at several heads of the three major companies who were talking on the other side, and motioned for him to go over and contact the relationship.
Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia walked over to Fa Ge and them holding hands like a couple, Fa Ge and they obviously saw Xiao Ran, and after greeting those two people, they walked towards them. Sitting down with a smile, before Xiao Ran could speak, Fa Ge told him very anxiously: "There is a conflict between Wu Yusen and Xu Ke!" ”
Lin Qingxia was slightly surprised, Xiao Ran was not at all surprised, with Xu Ke's arbitrariness on the set, Wu Yusen must not allow himself to be controlled by others. So, conflict is a matter of time.
After a long time, Xiao Ran realized that Wu Yusen and Xu Ke had already had a disagreement when they were filming "The True Colors of Heroes 2". Recently, "True Colors of Heroes 3" has not started filming, and the two have had a serious conflict over the creative concept. Wu Yusen doesn't like Xu Ke to interfere too much in the shooting, but Xu Ke is in the name of a producer, but he likes to exercise the duties of a director, which naturally makes a fuss.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "It's okay, as long as they don't work together, it's okay!" He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, this is not a matter of history, but Xu Ke's surname is determining that things will inevitably happen.
However, the conflict between Wu Yusen and Xu Ke in history caused the two to have a bad relationship since then, and they were unwilling to have anything to do with each other for more than ten years. Xiao Ran never wanted this, Wu Yusen was his target, and Xu Ke was the same he hoped to recruit. And in the long run, it is more advantageous for these two master directors to be a little more harmonious.
"This time, when they heard that the invited guests had each other's names, they didn't even want to come!" Fa Ge smiled bitterly, Wu Yusen was a like-minded friend with him, and Xu Ke was a director he admired, which really made him in a dilemma.
In Fa Ge's opinion, the only person who can speak between Xu Ke and Wu Yusen is Xiao Ran. Fa Ge knew that Wu Yusen, like himself, was grateful to Xiao Ran, and he felt the same as a bosom friend. As for Xu Ke, he is the one who brought Xiao Ran into the film industry, and the relationship is naturally very good.
"Trust me, they'll be fine!" Xiao Ran smiled, after this conflict, Wu Yusen will become a person from the Phantom Company, not Xinyicheng, let alone be taken away by Lei Kaitai's appreciation.
"Fa Zai, Aunt Hong, when did you come?" A deep voice sounded, but it was Wan Ziliang, the first brother of ATV, who had never had the chance to meet, only to see him show an unusually familiar smile and said: "Hey, I didn't expect the hand of God to be here, but I always wanted to see you!" ”
"Brother Liang, I've always wanted to visit you, but I don't have a chance or a reason!" Xiao Ran said with a smile, he really wanted to see Wan Ziliang all along. It's a pity that he has a pretty good relationship with wireless, and it's not appropriate to get close to ATV, so he really hasn't had the opportunity to meet ATV.
Looking at Wan Ziliang's face, Xiao Ran always felt that in addition to Fa Ge, the most suitable person for a big brother is Wan Ziliang now. However, there have been few opportunities for cooperation. Last time, there was, and the book of "Jianghu Love" that Wang Yu took last time was starring Wan Ziliang. However, Xiao Ran didn't need to go to the set in person, and besides, he didn't sign his name in the notebook at all.
What makes Xiao Ran feel interesting is that when he first met these big stars and directors before, he was always excited. But now his mood is not shocked, he doesn't know if this is considered aesthetic weakness.
"Can't say that!" Wan Ziliang smiled mysteriously, and there was a hint of cunning in his expression: "The new film that was just released a few days ago, we can be regarded as working together once!" ”
When it comes to cooperation, Xiao Ran thinks of Zhang Guorong and Wang Jing. If his memory is fine, then it is really surprising that these two have hardly worked with each other since their debut. There seem to be one or two indirect cooperations, for example, in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Jing vaguely played the role of an official in it.
Xiao Ran smiled, but it was just a sneer. Wang Yu took out his power to coerce him, and he gave in after giving Wang Yu a deep impression at that time. However, that doesn't mean he's really done. Just kidding, if it's so easy to forget it, then it's not Xiao Ran.
The book of "Jianghu Love" is indeed not bad, but what Xiao Ran gave to Wang Yu is not necessarily complete. offends the screenwriter, and the film will die neatly. Xiao Ran deleted a lot of details, and then modified the rest, and waited until the shooting came out, if the editing level was slightly poor, the final effect would give people a taste of not following the words.
Q: In today's world, who can have a higher understanding of artistic conception than Xiao Ran? Don't forget that in the post-97 era, Xiao Ran is most obsessed with the works of the Milky Way, and the works of the Milky Way pay attention to the artistic conception. He wants to play Wang Yu on this point, unless the director is smart enough, no one can change this fact.
This is obviously not enough to push "Jianghu Love" down the abyss, so Xiao Ran arranged for "Prison Storm" and "Jianghu Love" to be released at the same time. In terms of playing against the table, in 1987, there were few works at the box office that defeated "Prison Storm", the runner-up at the box office of the year.
Although it is not yet time to decide the final winner, after only ten days of release, the box office of "Prison Storm" is as high as 15 million. And "Jianghu Love", which was released at the same time, is only five million so far, and it can basically be determined whether it wins or loses.
"Still, I admire you!" Wan Ziliang didn't seem to care about the box office of "Jianghu Love" at all, but said with a smile: "You can actually estimate that the box office of this film is not good, and you simply don't sign your name, and I even doubt whether you are premeditated."
Xiao Ran was slightly surprised, he really did this too obviously. Playing against Wang Yu's play, comparing this box office, Wang Yu contacted Xiao Ran's reluctance to sign his name, and there was no reason to speculate that Xiao Ran was doing it on purpose. Besides, Wan Ziliang guessed it.
secretly scolded himself for being a little abrupt, and warned himself not to be too obvious next time, he denied it with a smile: "There is nothing, besides, this film is not written by me." Otherwise, the box office is definitely more than that. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's okay, anyway, now Wang Yu is a little anxious!" Wan Ziliang laughed ill-intentionedly, Zhou Yanfa and Zhong Chuhong also nodded, they didn't have a good impression of Wang Yu: "If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't be too lazy to take over this film." It's all right now, I'm afraid he won't come to me next time! ”
Xiao Ran was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Wang Yu was powerful, but he didn't have any popularity. Thinking of this, he seriously warned himself that popularity must be done well. However, he is too worried, and he is definitely one of the few good people in the film industry in terms of popularity.
After talking about it, as soon as he and Wan Ziliang finalized the next cooperation, Xiao Ran was invited by the director of the Film and Television Department. Xiao Ran secretly guessed what was going on, and when he went to a corner, he was slightly taken aback.
It was not only the director who was present, but also Lei Kaitai and Pan Disheng, as well as He Guanchang, the number one leader in the management of Golden Harvest, and Wei Dongling also came. Xiao Ran and the others both smiled and nodded, and sat down beside Wei Dongling.
Seeing that they were all coming, the director smiled: "This time, the political axe decided to strengthen the management of the film industry, so some time ago, many companies were closed down, and in view of the current number of violent movies and pornographic movies, a decision was made from above. While everyone is here now, let's exchange opinions with a few people first! ”
Movie Classification System? The first thought that flashed through Xiao Ran's mind was this. He thinks that it is indeed time for a classification system to appear, otherwise it will be difficult to regulate the pornographic and violent scenes in movies.
He was happy that he was now among them, which was certainly a matter of luck, but it also proved that the industry was gradually recognizing the potential of Phantom. I don't dare to say that I have the strength to compete with the three giants, but I definitely have this potential.
This is one thing that Xiao Ran is very happy about, it is not difficult to make a good film, but it is difficult to get the recognition of the industry. is like Wang Yu, although he is a force, but he can't get everyone's recognition, and he is killed when he makes a film.
Xiao Ran is arrogant, he himself is currently recognized as the hand of God in Hong Kong, and with his own script as the backing, no one dares to ignore the potential of the Phantom Company. And Zhou Runfa and Wu Yusen, as well as Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong and other celebrities have a good relationship with Xiao Ran, which is also well known, otherwise they would not have come to Phantom to film at the same time as signing the contract of the mayor of Xinyi City.
The most important thing is that the first film from the Phantom Company broke the box office record in Hong Kong's history, and the second film is also an excellent work both at the box office and in word of mouth. It's just that there are still people who suspect the phantom, but I'm afraid that there are not many. Xinyicheng started a business with a "Funny Times" that was not particularly outstanding at the box office, and then quickly became one of the three giants.
"We plan to make a grading system, and I believe it will be officially launched in a month at most!" The director made a week of inspections, and finally stopped his eyes on the three giants: "I don't know what everyone's opinion is?" ”
The meaning of the words is to solicit opinions, but the tone is unquestionable, and it is clear that the Hong Kong British political axe believes that the introduction of this classification system is imperative. Pan Dey still had an indifferent expression, while Lei Kaitai smoked a big cigar and didn't say anything, but He Guanchang was deep thinking.
*****
The title of the novel - Lei Kaitai
Actual name - unknown
In Huang Baiming's memoirs of the myth of Xinyicheng, we can clearly see that the boss behind the scenes is surnamed Lei. However, it is strange that in other sources, it seems that the boss behind the scenes seems to be someone else. Speculated for a while and came up with the answer. Longxiang Film Company is Taiwanese, and this company has a good relationship with companies such as Xinyicheng and Debao, and often participates in investment, and I think one of the so-called behind-the-scenes bosses probably refers to Longxiang's boss. The owner of the new art city should be surnamed Lei, and it is said that this person is rich and powerful, and he is the chairman of the Hong Kong Kowloon or Hong Kong Transportation Association. This Boss Lei has two sets, and the filmmakers who invest in him can make a lot of money for him, but I don't know that maybe he emigrated later, so he stopped the film business in a hurry.
