Winning Xijie and building the most solid and perfect distribution network in Asia, Xiao Ran believes that Hollywood will not be able to stop him in Asia at that time. told Wei Dongling about this goal, and Xiao Ran explained the actor's problem.

On the surface, if they leave the Phantom, it will definitely be harmful and useless, why would Xiao Ran do such a stupid thing? Xiao Ran is in charge of the film business, of course, he knows very well, because there are too many stars filming with Phantom, and the members of this year's Starlight Project have not been able to make a drama so far!

If you push some celebrities to Mo Huaien, you can take the opportunity to give newcomers a chance. Of course, this is not to say that the big stars are suppressing the newcomers, but that their very existence has hindered the rise of the newcomers, just like the coach's choice of football players.

I can't fail to mention the Phantom's Starlight Project here, which is basically a five-year period, and then in the five years, some people must be popular and some people will decline. When the time comes, you will choose one of the ten, so as to make the elite of the elite and praise them as superstars.

So, the Starlight Project can't be stopped. Now push Fa Ge and them to Mo Huaien, he believes that he will be able to get it back within half a year, and this means that they also have income, and newcomers also have a chance to get ahead, and there are other benefits, which can be described as killing a bird with one stone.

Wei Dongling nodded in agreement. He doesn't know much about the specific things about the movie, but since Xiao Ran said this, there is a certain amount of truth. However, he still had a question: "Is there any way you can make sure that you will be able to get them back?" ”

"It's easy!" Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously: "As long as the Hongguo is brought down, then if we want to buy it, absolutely no one will dare to fight with us." The contract will be ours then. The key to beating them is the ...... of funding"

Wei Dongling suddenly realized that sending filmmakers is definitely beneficial and harmless. With actors and behind-the-scenes workers, Mo Huaien will definitely start playing, and the cycle of a play has generally been increased to half a year. This means that as long as Hongguo and the two companies behind the scenes are knocked down, it is equivalent to Mo Huaien helping the phantom pay for the film, and indirectly helping Xiao Ran achieve the goal of increasing the salary.

On this day, Xiao Ran talked a lot and made a lot of phone calls. It's just that we can actually speculate about what they are doing......

That night, the heads of the three major companies joined forces to meet Xiao Ran. At Xiao Ran's house, Xiao Ran was leisurely watching ATV's show with his wife, and the timing of Pan Disheng's arrival was obviously not very appropriate, which ruined the atmosphere between the two couples.

Pan Disheng was secretly surprised when he saw this situation, the situation was so bad that Xiao Ran could still watch TV so leisurely, he really couldn't help but admire. Yang Qi knew this friend and knew that Xiao Ran just liked to enjoy it, so he didn't feel surprised.

"Here, just sit in your own home!" Xiao Ran is now appreciating the award gate, don't think that Zeng Zhiwei can't control the scene when he is young, but because he is young and vibrant, this show becomes more interesting.

Lin Qingxia stood up with a smile and invited them to sit down on the sofa. Xiao Ran reluctantly turned his gaze away from the TV and turned to the three CEOs: "What, three bosses, what do you need to do in person?" ”

Lin Qingxia couldn't wait to laugh out loud on the side, she found that her husband was still very good at acting. Pan Disheng smiled bitterly and glanced at Xiao Ran, who was smiling, and said, "Ah Ran, don't play with us, you know our intentions very well!" ”

When the Filipino maid brought the tea, Xiao Ran held Lin Qingxia's hand and smiled meaningfully: "It's going to rain, and the mother wants to get married, let it go, it can't make any big waves!" ”

Lei Kaitai thought that he knew Xiao Ran very well, but he couldn't understand Xiao Ran's mind, and asked tentatively: "What do you mean, let it be laid out like this, so you will break the rules!" ”

"Actually, what we mean is that it's better for you to take the lead ......" Yang Qi also picked up the conversation and said: "Jointly suppress it, and no one is allowed to take over its film, what do you mean?" ”

"There's no need to do this, I'm here as a businessman!" Xiao Ran's body was straight, and he suddenly looked awe-inspiring and upright. Just when the three of them were snickering, Xiao Ran's next sentence inevitably exposed his thoughts: "However, don't do this, people enter the market according to the regular way......"

"Do you know who the person in charge of Hongguo is? Tielong is the one who was poached by Jiahe in the first place! Although Lei Kaitai is scheming, it can be seen that Xiao Ran is so leisurely as if he is on vacation, but he still can't help but be anxious: "It turns out that several people in Jiahe's industry are here in Hongguo, and Mo Huaien's kid has been planning for a long time!" ”

"Planned for a long time?" Xiao Ran tilted his head and looked at Lin Qingxia's crystal like jade hand, he hadn't noticed the existence of the iron dragon, now that he thinks back, when he was rectifying Jiahe, he really didn't see this person's name. If it is said that it has been planned for a long time, there is definitely a reason: "What is there to worry about, now he has not broken the rules, if he breaks the rules, there will naturally be rules to deal with him!" ”

What kind of rules are the rules you make! The three of them couldn't help but smile bitterly in their stomachs, but they suddenly realized something, and looked up at Xiao Ran together. Xiao Ran always just smiled at each other and refused to reveal anything.

In Xiao Ran's place, they got nothing but a stomach full of suspicion. And Xiao Ran felt very funny, it was he who helped Tianluo at the beginning, so that Tianluo was able to stand in the circle, but now he didn't expect Yang Qi to become one of the defenders of the rules, and the change of people's identities is really interesting.

The next day, Hongguo acquired a controlling stake of Carson, Europe's largest publishing company, and announced that it had won the right to act as a theatrical agent in South Korea. Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling roughly calculated and determined that Hongguo had spent at least 30 to 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars on this, and when they came to this conclusion, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling glanced at each other, but there was an unpredictable look in their eyes.

On the fourth day, when Xiao Ran was doing things in the office, Chen Musheng suddenly called him and told him that Hongguo was trying to poach him! Xiao Ran immediately frowned, went to Wei Dongling's office, and when he talked about it, Wei Dongling also frowned, this matter is quite serious.

was thinking about countermeasures, and in less than a few minutes, Han Long from the planning department knocked on the door and came in, and said to Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling with a heavy face: "Several artists under the company have defected to Hongguo ......"

Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling glanced at each other and forced themselves to suppress their smiles, in fact, they both wanted to test the loyalty of those artists to the company. The clever thing about Hongguo is that it only poachs film practitioners and actors, and does not use the Phantom's administrators at all. In fact, Mo Huaien didn't try it later, but he only got two inconspicuous small roles.

He glanced at Wei Dongling and immediately made a decision: "Inform the whole bank to increase the salary by 20% on the original basis!" ”

However, on the third day, Hongguo increased his salary by a full fifty percent. In this way, it has attracted many artists to go straight to Hongguo, and even big stars such as Liu Hua and Liang Chaowei have passed. It is no exaggeration to say that about sixty percent of the big stars and first-line artists under the Phantom have gone.

Don't think that there are very few artists in Phantoms, on the contrary, there are still a lot. There are about thirteen or fourteen that can be called box office appeal, and this time, except for Su Renyao and Fa Ge, most of the others are basically gone.

The conditions given by Hongguo are extremely rich, as long as you are willing to live Hongguo, you can sign a film contract for three films in two years. And behind this big contract is a pile of money, and every contract is money. The most typical is Liu Hua, Liu Hua is currently worth two million, and the price offered by Hongguo is three million, plus the increase in salary, if the three dramas are contracted, it is 11 million.

And these dozen or so first-line stars, one of them is worth about this price. In this way, it means that Hongguo must pay 100 million to 200 million for this paper contract, and if you add the artists of Debao and Tianluo, it will be more than that.

But it didn't stop there. It didn't take long for Xiao Ran to receive a report from the star company: Fa Ge and Wu Yusen have both jumped to Hongguo! Xiao Ran laughed all of a sudden, because all this seemed to have pushed Phantom's film business to a dead end.

That had happened not long ago, and Mo Wynn and Tie Long were waiting leisurely in a fine dining room. Mo Huaien didn't have any confidence in being able to dig up Fa Ge, just because he more or less knew that Fa Ge and Xiao Ran had a good personal relationship, for example, Zhong Chuhong refused to come.

"Zhou Yunfa and Wu Yusen, will they really come? And it is said that they have a good personal relationship with Xiao Ran. Mo Huaien stared at Tielong suspiciously, it was natural for professional things to be carried out by professionals. Therefore, Tielong is obviously extremely professional.

"Mr. Mo, it's not easy to say, but if they come, they will have to discuss!" Tielong smiled easily: "Personal friendship is just personal relationship, work is another thing, this is how the industry is red and white!" ”

Mo Huaien straightened his face slightly, he originally didn't plan to look for Brother Dig and Wu Yusen, this is because he thinks that he will definitely not be able to dig up. Moreover, he hadn't thought about poaching like this before founding this Hongguo company, because the Phantom's financial resources were far stronger than his.

However, not long before the company was founded, Mo Wynn was reliably assured. So, he chose this option. In fact, this is not a person who digs the Phantom, although most of the famous stars are currently signed to the star agency under the Phantom, but they have no contractual relationship with the Phantom Head Office.

This means that those celebrities belong to the Phantom Company from the perspective of the agent. However, from the point of view of his filmmaking, it was simply a free body, after all, the Phantom did not sign any film contracts with them.

However, some actors such as Liu Hua also signed the next film with Phantom, and Mo Huaien had to pay liquidated damages for them. He knows that Xiao Ran doesn't care about this money, and he himself doesn't care about this money, the key is people, and being able to get talents is the most critical.

With such a "poaching", it is naturally difficult for the phantom to say anything. Because they didn't sign several film contracts with the stars in a row, Xiao Ran didn't like this kind of film contract very much, and it was easy for the actors to play films that were not suitable for them. Just like Liu Qingyun more than ten years later, because he signed several drama contracts with Chinese stars at one time, he had to act in countless vulgar comedies.

This is just being preempted by Hongguo, and it is really resentful of Hongguo in terms of reason. It's just that even the blind can see that this is a large-scale poaching operation, and it is also a shame that Mo Huaien has so much money to do it!

He really wanted to get Zhou Runfa and Wu Yusen, but unfortunately Xu Ke refused at the first time. However, he had to admit that if Wu Yusen was willing to join, he was absolutely willing to help him pay liquidated damages. Wu Yusen is one of the contracted directors of Phantom, and if it is a passing Hongguo, it will definitely be a breach of contract in law.

It's just that Mo Huaien was still surprised by his rich results, or rather, he felt a deep conspiracy, and asked cautiously: "Tielong, I still feel strange. The Phantom's strength is much stronger than Hongguo's, and the stars have no reason to defect to us! Moreover, it is said that Xiao Ran is the godfather of the underworld, aren't they afraid? ”

Tielong suddenly laughed, the boss in front of him was really ridiculous. When people came, his old man was not happy, and he had to suspect that they had any intentions. He couldn't wait to shout a few words in Mo Huaien's ear: "That's money!" It's a pity that the other party is his boss, if he doesn't want to lose his job, let's explain honestly.

"It's very simple, Xiao Ran didn't care about the stars he cultivated in the past and did things with other families, but now I believe it is the same." Tie Long explained carefully, he felt like a nanny: "Moreover, Xiao Ran used to rely on popularity and financial resources to start his business, and celebrities are what he needs at any time, so celebrities are not afraid of him at this point!" Besides, now that most of them have signed contracts with us, what is there to worry about? ”

Speaking of this, Tie Long smiled slyly: "Besides, no matter how strong Xiao Ran's financial resources are, he dug them back." That will definitely have an impact on the market, and it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the other three companies, and when the time comes, won't we have three allies! I don't know the relationship between Xiao Ran and the underworld, but if he moves out of the underworld, he will be shooting himself in the foot and ruining his previous reputation. ”

Mo Huaien smiled with relief, he is not a professional after all, and he does not know the rules in the entertainment industry. With Tielong's explanation, he woke up, it is unlikely that there is any conspiracy in this, most of the stars have signed contracts for more than two years, and the amount of liquidated damages is quite large.

Even if the phantom digs it back, he must pay a considerable price, and he will still have to earn it when the time comes. Anyway, it wasn't his original intention to make a movie, it's just that Guoli plans to get a vote. When the time comes, it will be easy for him to get out of the way.

As he was talking, Fa Ge and Wu Yusen came. After sitting down separately, Mo Huaien glanced at the two of them, and thought about the possibility in his heart. He really hopes to get these two people, especially Fa Ge, who is definitely the number one male star in Southeast Asia now, and getting him means that the box office is guaranteed.

"Brother Fa, I wonder if you are interested in going to Hongguo to do it?" In Hong Kong, a place with a large projectile, Tielong and Zhou Yanfa still had a few one-sided encounters, but he didn't hesitate to ask directly: "In a word, Hongguo has 25 million!" ”

Fa Ge and Wu Yusen glanced at each other, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and they hesitated for a moment before saying: "This is not good, you know the relationship between me and Xiao Ran, if it is ......"

"No, these artists we signed are just leaking between the Phantom's teeth." Tie Long smiled: "As the so-called fair competition, it's not good to form a monopoly!" In this way, 30 million, three dramas in two years, the price that Xiao Ran offered you is definitely not as good as this! ”

Fa Ge and Wu Yusen glanced at each other, and the light in their eyes flashed again. Fa Ge hesitated again, his eyes showed joy, and he nodded fiercely: "I promise you, but you are not allowed to use my play against the Phantom's play!" ”

It's hard to say that Mo Huaien really feels very strange, Fa Ge is well-known in the industry, which is well known. From Fa Ge's standpoint, there is absolutely no reason to abandon the Phantom to join Hongguo, and it is so easy. He definitely has reason to suspect that there is some conspiracy in this, but Fa Ge and Wu Yusen have signed contracts under his money offensive, so what else is there to worry about on the surface?

Besides, Fa Ge made it clear that he was not allowed to use his play against the Phantom, which seems to have explained his affection. Thinking of this, Mo Huaien comforted himself with these two reasons that seemed to have no flaws, and the matter had come to this point, even if he wanted to, he was reluctant to change. The most important thing is that he doesn't have a choice, if he wants to start a play, he has to use people, whether there is a conspiracy or not, he has to use it.

Even if it was Xiao Ran's conspiracy, he was not afraid at all. Mo Huaien secretly thought: Now dig up all the people you can use, and see what else you can do!

At least more than seventy percent of the stars have been lost, and a few have also lost a few in terms of film practitioners, such as Wu Yusen and Du Qifeng, plus Wang Jiawei and so on. Interestingly, except for the screenwriters, the other behind-the-scenes workers have left some one after another.

Xiao Ran sighed, it's a pity that Wang Jiawei, a talented man who can drag the film company to death, if he is given a year, he will definitely be able to play his role. It's a pity that Hongguo is difficult to live for half a year. The director of film and television was startled as soon as he entered the room, and Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling were staring at him with gloomy faces.

"Excuse me?" It's not good, it's definitely not good, even the blind can see that it's not good, the director didn't know the opportunity, and immediately said what he wanted to convey: "In order to maintain the stable development of the film industry, none of your companies are allowed to raise prices anymore, and they are not allowed to use unfair competition methods, this is our latest resolution!" ”

"Really?" Xiao Ran's face changed slightly, and he instantly became more gloomy and terrifying, forcing him to take a step forward and said: "If you allow it to raise the price of Hongguo, you will not allow me to raise the price of the phantom!" It's wonderful, wonderful! ”

The words are wonderful, but Xiao Ran's expression completely makes people realize that this is a counterword. Facing Xiao Ran's gloomy face, the director couldn't help but take a step back, secretly complaining, thinking: Damn, I have become a substitute for the British.

It's just that he didn't dare to say these things after all, so he had to endure the fear in his heart, squeezed the muscles on his face and said: "If any company dares to violate, it will be fined at least and rectified at worst." If there is a repeat offender, the only way to do so is to be ordered to close down. ”

Wei Dongling was stunned, and Xiao Ran was even more stunned. What the fuck is this bullshit decree, it's basically aimed at the Phantom, and the Hong Kong British political axe really tried to suppress the Phantom!

Wei Dong's spirit trembled with anger, his face turned red, and he was furious when he saw it. Seeing that the situation was not good, the director immediately turned around and went out of the door. Less than three seconds after he left, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling couldn't help but smile and sat down in their chairs relaxedly.

What to do? The fastest way to make a fortune in business is to get in touch with the political axe, but the most feared thing is to get in touch with the political axe. Xiao Ran understood this sentence thoroughly, and knew why Mo Huaien dared to mess around. With the support of the political axe, it is no problem to cover the sky with one hand.

Do you have to play the trump card of the political axe in the mainland? Xiao Ran didn't want to rely on the mainland's political axe, in that case, there might not be more trouble in the future. Only when it is relatively neutral in its political stance can the Phantom become a film empire that spans the world, and sometimes politics is always inevitable to become a containment.

What are the benefits of doing this? Wei Dongling didn't understand, but Xiao Ran knew it. Britain does not intend to leave an international financial center to the mainland, and is eager to find a nuclear bomb to destroy Hong Kong and then hand it over to China's political axe.

Nuclear bombs, of course, are not possible, but they can create a mess economically and otherwise. In fact, if it were not for the deliberate actions of the British political axe in Hong Kong, the subsequent financial crisis might not have occurred.

Originally, it was unlikely that the film industry would encounter such a black hand, but the British government in Hong Kong has always known that the mainland has ambitions for the Hong Kong film industry. Decades ago, the Hong Kong film industry had several companies with funds from the mainland, namely Phoenix, etc., which were later merged into Yindu. In the fifties and sixties, the struggle between the left and the right was even more intense.

It was only later in the sixties and seventies that the left had to be overshadowed by the right and the liberal filmmakers. However, the emergence of Yindu still means that the mainland political axe has not given up this widely influential artistic means, and in the 80s, liberal filmmakers completely prevailed, but because of market relations, they approached Taiwan, and even organized filmmakers to celebrate the birthday of Taiwan's Chiang family.

Such a situation is obviously seen by the British political axe in Hong Kong, which is also the reason why Yindu participated in the Film Association, but almost did not participate in the film association meeting. The rise of the Phantom seems to be nothing on the surface, and the last time the mainland political axe actually only expressed a little opinion on the rampant gangs in Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong British political axe still suspects that the phantom has a certain connection with the mainland.

Moreover, in addition to Yindu, Phantom is the second film company that can directly start filming in the mainland without script review, including the film company that distributes it. The only difference with Yindu is that Phantom's films still need to be reviewed after they are filmed, while Yindu does not need them, and enjoys more high-end treatment than domestic films. From this treatment of Yindu, it can be imagined that the mainland attaches great importance to the Hong Kong film industry.

In fact, the Hong Kong British political axe did not doubt the political position of the phantom, after all, Xiao Ran, the boss, had not even been to the mainland in the first 20 years, so he couldn't talk about any bullshit position. just thinks that Xiao Ran has made certain compromises with the mainland in some aspects, and judging from the training of filmmakers for the mainland, it is obvious that this is used as a quid pro quo.

Strictly speaking, the Hong Kong British political axe is not entirely aimed at the phantom, but at the entire film industry. For them, it is better to be able to make this as messy as possible, anyway, this is a Chinese movie, what does it matter to them, they just need to be profitable.

Now Xiao Ran even doubts that it was the acquiescence of the Hong Kong British political axe that made the underworld make trouble in the film industry with an extremely rampant attitude. The most typical thing is that in the 90s, Xiang Qiang's Yongsheng and other film companies with black backgrounds frantically increased their salaries, raising the salaries of Zhou Xingchi and others to 8 million or even 10 million, resulting in a sharp reduction in production costs, and since then they have become rough Hong Kong films.

The peak period of Hong Kong films in history was 93 years, and in that year, the average production cost was only about 12 million. And the stars will be divided in half, which may not even have a one-to-two ratio.

Now that everything is planned, all it is necessary to wait to lure Mowyn and his collaborators into the trap, as the hunter seems to do when he catches his prey......
