At this moment, everyone looked at Xiao Ran in amazement, as if Xiao Ran had just done something great: "How do you know that what we are going to talk about has something to do with Ah Rong?" ”

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. Huang Baiming waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's the case, Ah Ran, the filmmaker hopes that we can make a sequel." And judging from the reaction of the friends of New Arts City, they all hope to see a sequel again. We all think it's a good idea to make a sequel, so, we're still the original team, and we still have to find you to do it! ”

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, in fact, he had written the prequel and sequel, and the reason why he had to consider it was nothing more than Zhang Guorong's problem. Zhang Guorong's position in the sequel is easy to place, but the prequel is difficult. Since it is a prequel, the time background will inevitably be moved backwards, so if it goes on for a long time, then Zhang Guorong will definitely not be able to play the young Ajie.

If the time does not go by long enough, and it cannot highlight the sentence in "The True Color of Heroes", the times have changed, in short, it depends on the opinions of several giants. However, before he had time to speak, Xu Ke was anxious: "Ah Ran, we haven't treated you badly, this time we will give you an aggravated cost." In short, I can guarantee that the script fee you get this time is the highest in the circle at the moment! ”

"No, Lao Xu, you misunderstood." Xiao Ran hurriedly distinguished, he didn't want to give Xu Ke such a bad impression: "The script is fine, I was thinking about Ah Rong's role just now!" ”

He talked about this trouble in the script, and everyone thought for a while, obviously having a certain difficulty with this choice. This is naturally difficult, according to the laws of Hollywood sequels that Xiao Ran understands, this sequel or prequel or something, it is best to have the original team, and the investment must be higher than before.

Looking at Zhang Guorong, who was a little embarrassed, Xiao Ran smiled slightly, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and coughed lightly to wake everyone up before saying, "Actually, this problem is easy to solve." I think that through the shooting technology and superb makeup skills, Ah Rong's age can be made to look a few years younger. At that time, I will only need to push back the time of the script by about five or six years! ”

Everyone thought about it and nodded fiercely. Xiao Ran smiled slightly, looked at Xu Ke confidently and said, "I have a bold idea, why don't we make this into a trilogy?" I mean, make a prequel to it and end the story with a sequel! ”

Xu Ke really deserves to be the most flexible and treacherous director in the Chinese film industry, and immediately realized what Xiao Ran meant, and nodded in agreement: "I agree very much, you can't make too many sequels for a theme and story." Moreover, the method proposed by Ah Ran is the most moderate, the prequel plus the main sequel, and there is a sequel, which is a great combination. ”

Shi Nansheng naturally supported her husband, but she still thought about it before agreeing. In her opinion, Xiao Ran's trilogy plan is a means that can make perfect use of resources. Otherwise, if you shoot too much, the audience will be bored, and if you shoot less, you won't be able to use resources enough.

Wu Yusen has no opinion, after this success, he regards Xiao Ran as the best partner screenwriter. At the same time, he is also a confidant, and only Xiao Ran can write what Wu Yusen wants to say.

Only Huang Baiming is hesitating, he is actually a very good filmmaker. It's just that I gradually got lost in the great success of Xinyi City, and I no longer went in as wholeheartedly as I did when I started my business, but only knew how to tap the previous resources to use. is the Oriental Film Company he founded in the future, but if it weren't for Zhou Xingchi, who is like Zhongtian, to join that time, the "97 Happy Events" may not be able to do well.

Xiao Ran naturally understood what Huang Baiming was thinking, just because he was so clear about what Huang Baiming would do in the future. Therefore, in order to explain this talented senior, Xiao Ran smiled slightly, rubbed his nose gently, and said lightly a screenwriting dogma that was later regarded as a golden rule by screenwriters all over the world: "Whether you write a script or do anything, the most taboo is repetition, no one wants to watch the same story and the same plot forever." ”

Huang Baiming and Xu Ke, who are also screenwriters, were stunned, and this sentence caused no small waves in their hearts. Xu Ke doesn't care, he understands this truth, but he doesn't understand it as clearly as Xiao Ran. Huang Baiming really fell into deep thought, Xiao Ran thought that he might have a chance to save this person.

"It's the same with filmmaking, if you repeat it too much, the audience will be annoyed. Gradually changed from annoyance to uninterested, and when most people start to feel annoyed, more than just a movie is lost! Xiao Ran, who looked solemn, opened his mouth for the first time to reveal the fate of future Hong Kong films: "It's the entire film market." ”

"We thought we were gods, and we controlled the joys and sorrows of the audience with the joys and sorrows on the screen." Xiao Ran suddenly thought of the incomparably degraded Hong Kong films in the 21st century, and he was even more emotional, and the words that had been brewing in his heart for a long time finally came out: "Actually, we are just poor worms, and the audience is God." As long as they don't like comedy, we don't dare to make comedy, and if they don't like tragedy, we don't dare to make tragedy. In fact, it is they who indulge and control us. ”

At this moment, even Zhang Guorong began to think deeply. In stark contrast to the bustle of the rest of the venue, there was complete silence in this corner. Everyone was thinking about and digesting Xiao Ran's words, although this was only a small chance that Xiao Ran revealed, but this more advanced creative idea undoubtedly shocked them. You know, from now until 1994, it was an absolute seller's market.

While they were all thinking, Xiao Ran was also thinking. The question he was thinking about was very simple, and Fang Cai Xu agreed with his opinion. But in history, the third part of "The True Color of Heroes" was directed by Xu Ke himself after Xu Ke and Wu Yusen turned their faces. The result is a very different story, a fiasco.

Since the current Xu Ke understands the truth that you can't be greedy, why did Xu Ke in history make such a mistake? Now Xiao Ran doesn't know. It wasn't until much later, when he founded his own film company, that he realized that Xu Ke must have sold the film in advance, and then he had no choice but to make it out under the constraints of the contract.

"I think I get it!" A smile appeared on Huang Baiming's face: "This matter has been decided like this, we have to work together to start this trilogy!" ”

"However, Ah Ran, I really admire that you can see through the basic factors of film creation at such a young age!" Huang Baiming's words turned and pointed directly at Xiao Ran, praising him so dizzy. Seeing Xiao Ran's deliberately pretended to be intoxicated, everyone burst into laughter.

The box office of "The True Color of Heroes" continues to climb, everyone involved in the production is smiling, the film is a blockbuster, and their faces are just as bright. Xiao Ran's filming work is gradually coming to an end. He really wanted to work on it, but the general rules of filmmaking in this era made it difficult for him to have a spare budget and film to carve it.

On this day, Lin Qingxia asked him out, saying that someone wanted to see him. When I came to a high-end restaurant, there were many ghosts and a few wealthy businessmen who were often seen in financial magazines.

After a week of inspection, I saw Lin Qingxia chatting happily with a handsome son. Without Xiao Ran noticing, his complexion changed slightly, and his teeth gently bit his lower lip. He walked forward slowly, Lin Qingxia looked up and saw him, so she smiled and introduced: "This is Fang Ruohai Fang Gongzi, he is ......"

"Sister Lin, you don't need to be introduced, I met Fang Gongzi at your housewarming party!" Xiao Ran smiled indifferently, showing an indescribable tranquility.

After that party, Xiao Ran inquired that this Fang Ruohai was Fang Ruoxin's elder brother, and his father Fang Poli went to the United States a few years ago. This Fang Poli is a great character, it is said that when he went to the United States, he was deceived to the fullest, and as a result, he changed his name to Po Li, which means to break and then stand. After that, this party worked hard and gradually became one of the richest Chinese businessmen in the United States.

Fang Poli has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Fang Ruoshan and this Fang Ruohai are very remarkable, graduated from Oxford and Harvard respectively. Fang Ruoshan is now in the United States to help Fang Poli take care of the American business, and why Fang Ruohai came to Hong Kong in front of him is something that Xiao Ran doesn't know.

Fang Ruohai smiled heartily and nodded to Lin Qingxia and Xiao Ran: "That's right, I had the opportunity to meet last time, but unfortunately my sister didn't know what screenwriter Xiao's name meant, so she left out you, the big screenwriter!" I've always regretted it! ”

Xiao Ran was slightly surprised, this guy in front of him really knew how to speak, not only quietly held Xiao Ran, but also made Lin Qingxia feel happy. Since he is a powerful person, it is useless to offend him, and besides, he is still her brother, and he must not be offended.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly at such an idea, first greeted for a while, and then got to the point. It turned out that Fang Ruohai just wanted Xiao Ran to write a script, which was not a big deal.

Still, even so, he was stunned. But seeing Fang Ruohai take a sip of water, he stared at Xiao Ran and said with a smile: "Last time Ah Xin told me that I had seen you, I regretted it. I know you have a good relationship with Sister Xia, so I asked her to come to you! ”

Are you kidding! Xiao Ran cursed in his heart. The last time I saw this kid, Xiao Ran's reputation was not very big at all, and people in this circle didn't know that Fang Ruohai's words were nonsense at all.

In fact, Xiao Ran really guessed wrong this time, Fang Ruohai really admired him, after all, he grew up in the United States, and he knew that for a movie, screenwriting is the most basic link. Last time, Fang Ruohai did give a few words of harsh reprimand to Fang Ruoxin's attitude towards Xiao Ran, which made the baby girl aggrieved for a while.

Fang Ruohai came to Hong Kong mainly to invest, but when he saw that the film industry was quite prosperous, he came up with the idea of investing in films. As a result, he invested in the film "Dream Man" in the name of the company, and the box office was not very good, but with Lin Qingxia's appeal to sell, he still made a lot of money.

So, this kid suddenly felt that investing in the film industry might not be a very bad idea, so he planned to inject a lot of money. Of course, he attaches great importance to screenwriters, coincidentally he watched all three films that Xiao Ran wrote and released at that time, and thought that Xiao Ran was very talented, so he planned to find Xiao Ran to write them.

Unfortunately, after they missed, Fang Ruohai was recalled to the United States. He didn't come back until some time ago, and this time he saw that "The True Color of Heroes", which was hotter than the volcano, was still written by Xiao Ran, and the previous films "Happy Ghosts and Ghosts" were all box office hits, so he couldn't help but be shocked.

If Fang Ruohai just hoped that Xiao Ran would help him write a script before, then now he hopes to recruit Xiao Ran. This is the reason why he came to see Xiao Ran in person, otherwise, a rich financier like him would not need to come to Xiao Ran in person to talk about this kind of thing.

After understanding Fang Ruohai's general thoughts, Xiao Ran didn't have any superfluous thoughts, but just admired Fang Ruohai's vision. In the next six or seven years, the Hong Kong film industry will definitely be more gold than a gold mine.

Talking and talking, Fang Ruohai and Xiao Ran both admired each other, and they both unconsciously called each other very affectionate, but they didn't let people notice that there was anything wrong with it. Seeing Xiao Ran's hesitation, Fang Ruohai hurriedly smiled and said, "Ah Ran, I know you want to be a director." I can guarantee this, as long as you have enough ability, it is no problem to be a director! ”
