Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, Pan Disheng sometimes felt that he was very old in front of him, such as now. Sometimes I feel very immature in front of him, such as when negotiating. In his eyes, this is definitely a difficult person to fathom.

Pan Disheng discussed some of Xiao Ran's strange actions with Yang Qi, but the computer department didn't mention them. Referring to the Starlight Project, which is gradually becoming known to the top of the industry, every year the Phantom brings out a certain number of popular stars around the core of its industry.

The other two don't know very well, but they vaguely know that it takes more than 80 million to cultivate a star who is popular all over Southeast Asia in this starlight plan. But the Phantom didn't specifically keep these actors, but only signed a few drama contracts and released them free.

Such an equation can be easily calculated by the two of them. If the Phantom is holding twenty a year, it means that more than 1.5 billion will need to be spent. And the actors acted in a few plays, and they definitely couldn't get back this loss figure. Let him be free, this is tantamount to Xiao Ran cultivating stars for the Hong Kong film industry, and he is paying out of his own pocket to train stars for other companies.

What Xiao Ran thought, Pan Disheng didn't know. However, he and Yang Qi both believe that Xiao Ran is for the Hong Kong film industry, because no one is stupid enough to throw some money into the water every year.

However, it was precisely because of this that he was even more confused, why did Xiao Ran want to increase the production fee by all means? Now that Xiao Ran was in front of him, of course he asked without hesitation: "Ah Ran, why are you beating around the bush to increase the production fee?" ”

Yang Qi was slightly stunned, and immediately deduced the process, and stared at Xiao Ran with a sly smile. Wei Dongling twisted his face away, and left the job to Xiao Ran to answer.

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, there were some things, he didn't know whether to say or not. In fact, he is not forced to achieve that ratio, for example, romance films and comedies are not needed, the key is that he hopes to guide the three major companies to start trying to do science fiction and the like when the production cost increases. Of course, before that, the Phantom must be a forerunner at least once.

In fact, almost 80% of the film investment in Hong Kong films is in the hands of the big four companies, and it is difficult to cause too much negative impact: "How do you think a film can attract audiences, I mean, what kind of films do the mainstream market like? ”

"Comedy theme, I think the key is like you said, you have to look at the script, the director and the actors!" In a sense, Yang Qi can be regarded as Xiao Ran's faithful believer.

For example, Xiao Ran thinks that movies should be refined, and his investment in average film production fees is higher than that of Golden Harvest. Because he knows that to some extent, he is a layman, and there is Xiao Ran, a successful insider, to guide the way ahead, if he still doesn't know how to learn, then he simply don't make movies.

"This is one of them......" Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, and he felt that he didn't know if the two of them could understand the following words: "The second is that the mainstream market is the mass market, what is the general psychology of the public?" You don't need a film with too much comprehension, but you need a lively or intense film. Perhaps, it is better to take an example, "Spy Change" is a standard mainstream commercial film! ”

"There is only one type of commercial film, but the subject matter is definitely not a single comedy, any theme can become a commercial film, as long as you can successfully master the commercial elements!" Xiao Ran suddenly remembered "Gunfire", if Adu is not the limit of pursuing personal style, then if this film adds commercial elements, it will definitely hope to be a big hit.

"The commercial element?" Pan Dee and Yang Qi muttered and repeated.

"Yes, the business element!" Xiao Ran nodded in agreement, which is a crucial point: "This is a foundation, you have to have elements in it that make the mainstream audience emotional, and it doesn't need to be too complicated." Therefore, every genre is one of the commercial elements, as long as it can be controlled properly. ”

"It was not a wise decision for Debao to focus on a few areas that he was good at, and it was not a wise decision for Tianluo to focus his business on police films." Xiao Ran talked eloquently like a professor: "You have to try to do other themes, and a single theme can never satisfy the audience." ”

Silence, still silence. They are also aware of this, but they don't dare to give up their own adventures, Phantom You has been praised as the number one screenwriter in Southeast Asia, and is also the most famous hand of God in the screenwriter circle. Not only indulge in their own works, but also other works can indulge in the hand of God.

"The mainstream market is not necessarily completely big-production, but big-production must be the mainstream of the mainstream market." Xiao Ran finally talked about this core issue, and even he couldn't help but relax: "The bigger the market, the higher the production cost needs to be to make the film more sophisticated, which is not only to enhance the high-quality reputation of Hong Kong films, but also to use this advantage to make Southeast Asian and European films unable to catch up with us in the short term." And when we have accumulated enough experience and talent, it is too late for them to catch up. When the time comes, the world will be a Chinese-language movie! ”

Wei Dongling, Yang Qi and Pan Disheng all stared at Xiao Ran with their mouths wide open, and the surprise in their eyes was indescribable. What surprised them was not this method, but Xiao Ran's far-sighted design of the film industry in other countries and regions in Southeast Asia.

What a horrible person! Pan Disheng felt a cold sweat on his forehead. They suddenly felt that Xiao Ran was really powerful, and when they were still thinking about how to win the Southeast Asian market, Xiao Ran was already secretly suppressing the film industry in various regions of Southeast Asia.

It's just that when they think of the Chinese-language films that Xiao Ran has repeatedly mentioned, they understand why Xiao Ran wants to suppress the film industry in other regions. Wei Dongling glared at Xiao Ran, his eyes were no different from copper bells: "Good boy, you don't even mention it to me if you have such insidious thoughts!" ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile, and shrugged his shoulders to express helplessness. In fact, there is no need to tell Wei Dongling about this, and there are some other strategies that are not said, this is just his current idea. In short, the overall change is in his hands, and it doesn't matter whether he says it or not.

"One more thing!" Anyway, I talked a lot about it today, and it doesn't matter if I say some more shocks with the surname Suo. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran said to the two with a solemn expression: "Tell your staff and filmmakers to remember to learn Mandarin, you must, even if the company pays them to learn it." As for English, if someone doesn't want to learn it, you can try to train a professional translator! ”

"Why learn these two languages? There's no need for it! Pan Di frowned loudly, wouldn't this be more trouble, Yang Qi also nodded.

"Do you think Hong Kong's small market can support local films? Or is it completely dependent on overseas markets? What should we do if overseas markets have stricter protection laws than those in Korea? Xiao Ran didn't want to mention whether he was patriotic or not, standing on this position, interests were the most able to impress businessmen.

Pan Disheng and Yang Qi were suddenly shocked to realize that because Hong Kong films have developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, they completely ignored what they were afraid of before. Now in South Korea, they can't release as unscrupulously every year as before, and only the Phantom, who controls many local movie theaters and gradually integrates into Korea's leading cinema chain with strong financial resources, can achieve maximum distribution.

If other regions do the same, this is only ...... They didn't even dare to imagine the consequences, and the word bankruptcy lingered in their minds. But is it really possible to enter the mainland? The vast majority of people are still quite skeptical about the mainland.

Wei Dongling's guy laughed twice and picked up Xiao Ran's words: "There are more than one billion people in the mainland, and it is difficult to compete with the American market in the short term because of economic problems. However, it is definitely not a problem to feed all the film companies in Hong Kong, this is our base, the real big rear! ”

Pan Disheng understands the account of "going north to Shenzhou ......" very well, but there are some political things that he really does not understand: "If the policy changes, what should I do?" You understand ......"

The "policy ......" is a headache when it comes to this, Hong Kong people have a distrustful attitude towards the mainland at all, this is no wonder, historical problems: "I just have this plan, I don't want to be trapped in Hong Kong and wait for death." On the policy side, I'm willing to take a risk. ”

"After the year, the mainland will send a group of students to Phantom, and we will also buy a piece of land in the mainland to build a movie city after the year!" Wei Dongling smiled rudely, in fact, he didn't agree with Xiao Ran telling the two of them the idea of entering the mainland, because he knew very well that the first one to enter would definitely be able to make a big profit.

"Let's think about it for a while, it's not in a hurry for the time being!" Pan Disheng and Yang Qi always had difficulty accepting such a huge change for a while, and finally rejected the proposal. It's just that they don't realize how similar this is to when they refused to take a stake in karaoke.

Xiao Ran didn't say anything about this, he always needs someone to set an example, and this example naturally belongs to him. However, now he is thinking about another thing: how to support Debao and Tianluo!

In terms of film, Xiao Ran believes that it is necessary to convey the professional concept of Phantom to Debao. And in terms of funding, this is precisely what makes Xiao Ran the most difficult. At present, the phantom assets are more than 40 billion, and Tianluo and Debao together are less than a fraction. This undoubtedly creates a huge contrast, and it is difficult for Tianluo and Debao to continue to maintain the position of the second group.

I have to admit that whether it is making movies or other industries, capital is definitely the most important link. At present, Phantom is definitely the largest film company in Asia on the surface, although this is due to karaoke, but when the wealth is big, it is bound to be angry, and it will not even take a breath when it smashes 80 million films. It's Tianluo and Debao, unless it's steady, how dare you. But the movie has never been a sure thing.

Therefore, Xiao Ran is really eager to support the two companies now, so that they can quickly follow the footsteps of the Phantom as a backup. He didn't think about this question for long, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to the two of them very frankly: "The funds of your two companies can only maintain the current situation at most, if you want to develop further, at the current rate, it will take a few years!" ”

This just hit Yang Qi and Pan Disheng's heart disease, Xiao Ran tilted his head and stared at the two: "It's better to be like this, the phantom will provide you with funds!" ”

"No way!" Yang Qi and Pan Disheng jumped out of the words almost without going through their brains, they didn't want their company to be controlled by Xiao Ran, then it would be an absolute monopoly.

Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling were stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. They all knew why the two of them reacted so strongly, Xiao Ran laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, pointed at the two and said, "You are really afraid of my monopoly, and you refused without listening to my plan!" ”

The two of them were stunned, thinking to themselves what new plan Xiao Ran had? Xiao Ran held back the feeling of laughter and said: "It's very simple, I will borrow two billion funds from each company, and you only need to take out 20% of the equity as collateral!" You can repay this money when you want, I think you won't be able to borrow so much money in the bank, and there is a great risk of bankruptcy. ”

Yang Qi and Pan Disheng couldn't believe it, how could there be such a good thing in the world. In this way, it means that Xiao Ran provides them with four billion for nothing, although there are some benefits every year. But don't forget, they're definitely competitors, even if they can't compete at the moment!

Although this is quite similar to bank loans, it is outrageous for Xiao Ran to do so when they are already competitors. Just when they opened their eyes wide and suspected that Xiao Ran was a Martian, Xiao Ran gave them another heavy blow: "Or I will buy three billion shares in your company each, as long as 20% of the equity." ”

Six billion! I'm afraid it's not a problem to buy most of the film companies in Hong Kong, not to mention Debao and Tianluo. Twenty shares, this is simply a forced to stuff the benefits into their hands.

"How?" Xiao Ran is really embarrassed, he doesn't dare to accept the benefits for them, what kind of world has this become: "This is absolutely beneficial and harmless to you, if you refuse to do so, then I have nothing to say!" ”

"Let us think about it!" Pan Disheng and Yang Qi's brains spun quickly, quickly calculating. If the funds are really obtained, the market value of the two companies will definitely rise, and the mortgage will be ...... You can't get a mortgage, otherwise Xiao Ran will withdraw his capital, and he will only end up bankrupt.

Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran glanced at each other with a wry smile, this person is really boring, do you have to say that Xiao Ran has to give it to them? In fact, it's no different from giving it away for nothing.

Yang Qi and Pan Disheng did not consider financing and loans, but the loans given by the bank were not even half of the price offered by Xiao Ran, and Tianluo itself was founded by financing, and Yang Qi only controlled 70% of the equity. However, Pan Disheng's Debao is a wholly-owned institution, but they see that the development direction of the Phantom has never raised funds from the outside world, so they feel that it may not be appropriate to do so.

But now their development has reached a bottleneck, if they don't add oil, they are afraid that there will be too many phantoms behind. If you accept it, I'm really worried that I'm being controlled by the Phantom. If you don't accept it, you're afraid you'll stay put.

"I promise you!" Yang Qi was finally more decisive, quickly weighed the benefits, gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "However, we must add other conditions to prevent you from interfering!" ”

"I promise you too!"
