Chapter 111: Leaps and Bounds
"Nonsense!" Xiao Ran was gently touching the heads of the two girls, and when she heard this, she thought that she must not let them have the idea of being lazy. Immediately, his face became extremely stern: "If you want to be a star, you have to pay a price." Besides, after learning these things, you are qualified to become popular, you know! ”
Fan Xiaoya was so fierce by Xiao Ran, there is a sense that if you are fierce, I will cry to you, so Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled down and coaxed her. With a wave of his hand, Hai Lulu went to work, and Xiao Ran and the two girls chatted in the dance studio.
Xiao Ran enjoyed this feeling very much, in fact, he basically didn't need to do anything now, Wei Dongling had already taken care of the company in a very orderly manner. Therefore, he could only go around very boredly: "By the way, did those hooligans still bother you last time?" ”
"No more!" Fan Xiaoying replied to Xiao Ran in a low voice, and her tone was so gentle that everyone could love her. Fan Xiaoya was full of excitement, and shouted in the dance studio: "Those hooligans seemed to have been beaten up last time, and they came to the school gate to apologize to us after that time." However, there are still a few fierce people staring at them next to them, Brother Xiao, did you send them to teach them a lesson? ”
"This ......" Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, he felt that it was better not to tell them about things like this, so as not to tarnish their thoughts: "No, a friend of mine found out, and he just helped me teach those little guys a lesson!" ”
Fan Xiaoya smiled and grimaced at Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, you yourself are not big, and you still call others a little guy." By the way, Xiaohan really wants to be a star, or Brother Xiao, you should agree to her! ”
"She? More on that later! Xiao Ran had a headache when he mentioned Xiao Han, this little girl is indeed not as obsessed with him as before now, after all, she has grown up. But he called twice in three days to be a star, but he couldn't convince his family: "Are you happy to learn here?" Don't feel tired, these things are to be learned for a lifetime! ”
The beautiful female secretary who had been following him next to her couldn't help but smile secretly when she saw Xiao Ran talking very speculatively with the two girls. This secretary was found by Wei Dongling for Xiao Ran, in fact, he is not very beautiful, according to Wei Dongling's righteous statement: "I can't give you the opportunity to be sorry for Qingxia, otherwise I will become a sinner!" ”
Xiao Ran doesn't care if he's beautiful or not, as long as it's not so ugly that people can't stand it, he doesn't think he will make "a mistake that men make". However, what Xiao Ran felt was very troublesome was that this female secretary An Yuxuan was specially assigned to him, basically where Xiao Ran ran, this An Xuan ran with him, which made Xiao Ran always feel as if he had a tail.
Xiao Ran did not go to Lin Qingxia that night, but went back to Xiaoyaowo. As soon as he went back, Wei Dongling glanced at him with great contempt, and then he couldn't wait to compare his middle finger and said, "Alas, there are people like me who are fighting for space again, it's really unconscionable." A person with a net worth of more than a billion is ...... Actually squeezing such a kennel with me, this still doesn't let people live! ”
Guan Xinqiang suppressed his smile, Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran were not arguing about this issue for the first day, and every time it was so exciting. Xiao Ran was very depressed, thinking to himself who was in the way of me living here. It's not that he doesn't want to move out, it's just that he hasn't found a suitable house yet.
"Na Na Na!" Wei Dongling jumped up from the ground, really in the style of an action actor, I saw him glaring at Xiao Ran with disdain: "Don't say anything that you can't find a suitable one, I have already helped you contact the real estate agent today." When you go to see the house tomorrow, remember to stop by and help me take a look. ”
Xiao Ran was dumbfounded, but he couldn't imagine that Wei Dongling would do all this thing, and he really deserved to be a workaholic. Wei Dongling's expression suddenly became very tough, and he said with a smile: "This, that, the company has been established for almost a year." Many people in the company have taken big red envelopes, the only one who hasn't taken it is me, and now it's time for you to perform. ”
Xiao Ran sweated again, this is indeed the case, Wei Dongling's salary has only risen recently, and he used to give out red envelopes or something, Xiao Ran said: "You are the general manager, what kind of red envelopes do you get!" "I sent it away, and now it seems that I can't avoid it.
Seeing Xiao Ran's depressed expression, Wei Dongling couldn't help but feel happy, immediately remembered the gambling contract, and ran towards Guan Xin with a shout, his five fingers stretched and contracted in front of Guan Xin as flexibly as a pianist: "Master, you owe me a hundred yuan!" ”
Xiao Ran was stunned, and even more laughed and cried when he asked. Wei Dongling doesn't know if he was influenced by "God of Gamblers", so he likes to bet with people recently. This time it was to bet with Guan Xin whether Xiao Ran would give in, and the result was obvious, Guan Xin reluctantly let himself squeeze out a serious look on his face, and yelled at Xiao Ran: "Do two hundred push-ups tomorrow morning!" ”
As a result, this pain was transferred to Xiao Ran by Guan Xin. But when Wei Dongling was looking proudly at Xiao Ran's deliberately distorted face and snickering, Guan Xin pointed his finger at him and said, "You are the same, if you dare to win my money, this is the end!" Wei Dongling was immediately dumbfounded, and then remembered that gambling with the master was simply looking for death.
After a while, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling began to talk about business, and Wei Dongling looked at Xiao Ran with a solemn expression: "Ah Ran, I think the company must be mentally prepared to confront other companies." Now that the company is expanding, other companies must feel threatened, how to face them in the future, you have to think clearly! ”
How to cope? Xiao Ran didn't think about it. In front of him, there are two options, one is to directly suppress other companies until they are completely shrouded in the shadow of the phantom and control the Hong Kong and even Southeast Asian markets. The second is to unite with other companies to close the gap between Hollywood's rapid development as soon as possible.
It's not a very easy choice, and if you choose the first one, you have to go directly to the other three companies. Moreover, it will take the Phantom to produce countless blockbuster and award-winning films to have the potential to squeeze out the share of the three major companies.
If you choose the second option, Xinyicheng can be wooed, and Debao may also have a chance. However, it is absolutely impossible for Golden Harvest to cooperate with Xiao Ran, because the phantom also focuses on distribution. Moreover, the Shaw Brothers, which have been discontinued, will be reborn next year, and with the financial resources of the Shaw Brothers, the Phantom will not be easy to play confrontation.
Thinking of Shaw Brothers, Xiao Ran immediately remembered an extremely important thing. Shaw Brothers' film library is a treasure with great gold content, think about Disney's only few classic cartoons, only need to be sold once a year, that is a huge fortune.
In Hollywood, film libraries and real estate are assets that film companies can see and touch, especially the former, with this film library, it is no problem to take it to the bank for mortgage. Therefore, Xiao Ran thinks that it is very necessary to buy out the Shaw Brothers film library, so as long as it is taken out and released on DVD or VCD in the future, it will make people laugh.
Having made up his mind, Xiao Ran began to continue his choice, which was not easy. After thinking about it, he finally decided that it was better to adopt a compromise approach, after all, if he wanted to support Hong Kong films, he had to support other film companies, not destroy them.
1988 will be the year when Phantom will go all out to develop the Southeast Asian market, and as long as it can stand firm, Xiao Ran is sure that it will be able to beat the other three companies. Then he can have a direct dialogue with the three major companies with a strong attitude, and as long as he controls the three major companies, it will be equivalent to indirectly controlling the Hong Kong film industry, and then it will be time to enter Hollywood.
"I thought, it's better to do that!" Xiao Ran pondered for a long time, then looked at Wei Dongling, who had been waiting for an answer, and said: "Don't conflict with them in the local market, first win the agency rights of major cinema chains in Southeast Asia, and then put pressure on them, and when they can't resist, they will naturally come to us to negotiate!" ”
Wei Dongling nodded, he originally thought like this, there was no need to conflict with the three major companies, it would only provoke joint suppression. Thinking about the matter of Xinbao Cinema, Wei Dongling hesitated for a moment and asked: "Xinbao's parent company has been taken down, but this company is at a loss, should we dismantle it and sell it?" ”
This question is much easier, and Xiao Ran gave the answer without thinking: "Break it up and sell it, just leave the new treasure." It's not my goal, there's no need to stay! By the way, has the art cinema been done? ”
"Basically, there is no problem, it has been negotiated, and when the time comes, it will be acquired through Xinbao!" Wei Dongling has a headache, there are too many things in the company recently: "By the way, Tian Lai has signed some artists in the artist training department, but there is still a lack of famous singers, composers and lyricists with enough influence." ”
Xiao Ran had a headache again, he really didn't understand the matter of making music. However, he still knows that the most popular singer at the moment is something they can't get. After hesitating for a moment, thinking that the new art treasure of Xinyi City won the first battle with movie songs, Xiao Ran basically had an idea.
"I mean......" Wei Dongling saw that Xiao Ran was silent, and smiled slyly: "You are so versatile, why don't you help compose a song!" ”
Xiao Ran sweated wildly, he had to do such things, he was like a president, he was simply the most lame boss in the world. Wei Dongling was even more depressed, before Tian Lai had a general manager, he even had to take care of things there, was it easy for him!
Of course, Wei Dongling didn't expect Xiao Ran to make any music, it was just a joke. Xiao Ran pondered for a long time, and finally gave a decision: "To put it simply, I am a sentence, talent is everything, let go of the rules and dignity to accept talents." ”
"It's actually nothing, anyway, I don't plan to make it big for the time being." Wei Dongling smiled: "However, the company is a little troublesome, and some artists don't have any drama." ”
"It's okay, I have an idea!" Xiao Ran's idea is very simple, since the Phantom will be mainly released, there is no need to be too greedy in terms of production. In addition to outsourcing, there are also some production companies that can be invested in.
The next day, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia went to meet the real estate agent together, who was not very old, only in his thirties. As soon as he saw Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, he immediately took out his notebook and asked for an autograph, and even Xiao Ran didn't let it go.
Sai Kung is one of the best residential areas in Hong Kong, and after walking a few laps, Lin Qingxia played the pickiness of her female surname, which made Xiao Ran's face turn blue. Until I came to a house near the sea, this villa has two floors, and the environment near the sea, coupled with the surrounding greenery, really made Lin Qingxia like it very much.
Lin Qingxia went to the balcony, she was in a very good mood, she felt that Xiao Ran was really good to her now, although they had been together for a short time, Xiao Ran was always thinking about her. The more she thought about it, the more she was intoxicated, until Xiao Ran stepped forward and gently grabbed her hand, she woke up and took a deep breath of fresh breath: "Ah Ran, you want to be here!" ”
"You say this is here!" Xiao Ran nodded indifferently, he didn't care too much, but he still liked it very much with such an environment close to nature. It's just that they didn't notice that the agent was looking at the intimacy of the two from behind, and his eyes were confused.
Later, in the name of the company, Wei Dongling bought a house nearby, and Xiao Ran mentioned it on the way back: "Adong, this kid, has already extorted a car from me, and now he has gotten a villa, I'm so unwilling!" ”
"What's so unwilling about this, I think you're more willing than anyone else, but you're just not convinced that Ah Dong won once!" Lin Qingxia was very funny, she felt that this Xiao Ran was sometimes terrifyingly mature, and sometimes she was very childish: "Besides, I think it's just that Ah Dong doesn't want it, I'm afraid you will take the initiative to stuff it into him!" ”
Xiao Ran, who was said by Lin Qingxia, smiled embarrassedly, in fact, he was not very strict with the company, mainly because he wanted to give everyone more room to play freely. Because he knows that there are a number of talents in history who have been annihilated because they have not been able to play.
"By the way, do you want to move here?" Xiao Ran smiled, Gu Zuoyan was his trick: "I don't want you to live so far away, it's so inconvenient to talk to you when the time comes." ”
"you!" Lin Qingxia snorted Xiao Ran lightly, and said with a smile: "If you are not afraid of our relationship being exposed, then I will move over!" This is a tricky matter, Xiao Ran thought that Lin Qingxia could move in with him, and his heart was itchy, and he couldn't wait to control the Hong Kong film industry immediately.
Lan Naicai's appearance is very ordinary, and he is very modest. Xiao Ran couldn't help but look at the most outstanding special effects master in this era, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, with Lan Naicai, many themes have opportunities to shoot.
Lan Naicai was a little strange, he didn't know why the boss of this phantom company was staring at him, he was very interested in this company, after all, it was not only the owner of a film company standing in front of him, but also the only screenwriter and director in Hong Kong who was recognized as the best. He knew that Xiao Ran was talented, but he didn't know that he was still so young.
In fact, Xiao Ran looked more than twenty-four years old, and the mustache on his lips made him look a lot more mature and charming. However, the beard thing sometimes depends on the person, for example, in "The Bloody Heroes", when Fa Ge sticks a mustache to snipe at a target at sea, it is like a mature and experienced hunter.
Obviously, Xiao Ran's beard matches him very well, not only making him look more mature and sophisticated, but also has a very manly feeling. Xiao Ran sat back on the leather chair with a smile and asked, "Mr. Lan, I've always been curious, how did you make the special effects in the play "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley"?"
*****
The title of the novel - Lan Naicai
Reality name - Lan Naicai
Lan Naicai doesn't know much about him, and I know very little about him, and I have only seen a few of his directors and special effects works, such as "Old Cat" and so on. It is undeniable that in terms of directorial talent, Lan Naicai may not be good. But in terms of makeup and special effects, he is really good. In the 80s, when there was no concept of computer special effects, the effects he made with local special effects were only slightly inferior to those of Hollywood, and that was due to a lack of manpower, material and financial resources. It's a pity that after the early nineties, he has not appeared in the film industry again!
