Hu Jinquan, along with Li Hanxiang and Zhang Qi, were also master directors of Hong Kong cinema in the 70s, and Li Hanxiang was good at court drama and drama drama. Zhang Chi, on the other hand, is a very hard-core action film director, a director with a bloody and ruthless style, and several directors in Hong Kong have been influenced by him, and countless stars have been promoted. It's like in history, Li Xiuxian and Wu Yusen and other big stars and directors gathered together to make a film to congratulate Master Zhang Qi on his birthday.

And Hu Jinquan is another master, the master of martial arts themes, it is he who single-handedly made Zheng Peipei, who was praised as the queen of martial arts. Master Hu's classics are as many as ever, which makes martial arts glow with extremely dazzling brilliance, such as "Chivalrous Girl" is a classic, in which the scene of the Battle of the Bamboo Forest has been imitated by many descendants.

With Hu Jin as the producer, and director Xu Ke, Xiao Ran is very relieved about "Smiling Proud Jianghu". It should be mentioned here that in Phantom Company, the director is the center, the producer is only responsible for directing some direction and strategic issues, and the producer is responsible for chores. On the set, the director is the biggest, and this is done to give the director more passion and inspiration when directing.

Xiao Ran knows very well that if he does things according to Hollywood's producer center, then the director is actually just a salaryman, and he simply lets the producer command like a puppet. While not being assertive, he didn't even have the right to edit the final editing, which completely strangled the directors' creative hopes.

That's why some very talented filmmakers come to Hollywood and then get nowhere. Hollywood uses money and technology to lure film talents from all over the world to join, and Xiao Ran is currently unable to do both, only to open up the creative space and give real talent an attraction.

In Phantom, the situation is very peculiar. Under normal circumstances, as long as they are not from a professional background, most of them have to go through the position of producer. Let the future director taste the hard work and fatigue of production first, and follow the crew to learn and feel the shooting of the film.

Don't underestimate the position of producer, as said in "Buying a Murderer", pre-preparation is definitely one of the most important links. Although the producer may not know anything about the film, Xiao Ran requires the producer to have at least a certain amount of self-awareness about the shooting and conception of the film.

Because when the production itself is preparing for the early stage, it is necessary to outline the general shooting process of the whole film with the director. The producer needs to have a certain understanding of the film in order to be able to accurately complete all the preparations required by the director.

At Phantom, filmmaking is a ladder for those who are not graduates of film school, but aspire to become directors. Even though Xiao Ran has promoted many cutting-edge directors in the past two or three years because of the need for a large number of talents, most of them still need to go through such a training period. So, now in three years, the first batch of producers have been successfully promoted to directors.

In Phantom, the director is central, but not absolute. The producer is selected by the art director to supervise the filming of the film, but the producer is responsible for the money and schedule, while the producer gives the director advice and reference on the style of the film.

Those who can be producers are all big directors, such as Xiao Ran himself, or Xu Ke and Wu Yusen. For example, "Peace Hotel" is produced by Wu Yusen, and most of the big directors who can be assigned to these big directors are potential new directors, or some important films.

Of course, Xiao Ran doesn't care about the trained directors filming for other companies, anyway, his goal is not a phantom monopoly, but a Hong Kong film monopoly. This requires a certain degree of talent, but there are still quite a few directors signed by Phantom Company, such as Xu Ke and Wu Yusen. The really top talents are still controlled by the phantom, and this is the control that Xiao Ran has always longed for.

Seeing Xiao Ran in a daze, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but walk over to him and sit down, patting him gently: "What's wrong?" You haven't finished that script yet? ”

"Difficult! It's really hard! Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, "New Dragon Gate Inn" was an almost complete failure in Europe, if it weren't for the Chinese and some locals to cheer for it, maybe it wouldn't even have a box office of 40 million.

"Forget it if you can't think of it, you have so many ideas anyway that you haven't used them yet!" Lin Qingxia sometimes doesn't understand this husband very well, she obviously has some ideas in her hands, but she is unwilling to shoot or write it herself. Speaking of this, she gently leaned on Xiao Ran's shoulder and said softly: "Don't exhaust yourself!" ”

"It's okay, how can such a trivial thing stop me!" Xiao Ran stared into Lin Qingxia's eyes, and in this look, he saw concern. couldn't help but smile and said his problem: "You may not know my purpose, I want to use this film to make Westerners accept martial arts!" ”

"Actually, I have asked the planning team to investigate the various habits of Westerners before......" Xiao Ran thought of the investigation report, in fact, he is very aware of some habits of Westerners, but this report is just to remind the rest of the company to follow these habits to enter the Western market: "Westerners advocate rational thinking, and their ideas are always very logical, that is, everything pays attention to scientific surnames!" ”

Lin Qingxia quietly looked at Xiao Ran talking eloquently, she liked Xiao Ran's appearance. Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh again, chivalry is easy to explain, the problem is that martial arts is very difficult to explain scientifically.

Suddenly, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he couldn't help but shout: "Yes, you can join the role of a Westerner." It is more convincing to explain it through this Westerner role. ”

Lin Qingxia saw that Xiao Ran was so happy, and she immediately showed joy. Xiao Ran looked at her excitedly and explained: "They want science, we will give him science!" Take the matter of internal strength as an example, we can make it a little more substantial, let's just say that because of the cultivation of martial arts, people's genes have been changed. In addition to that, we can express this kind of stuff in other ways! ”

Lin Qingxia was stunned, she understood what Xiao Ran said, but she didn't understand it very well. Xiao Ran didn't notice his wife's expression when he was excited, but he was just proud. In fact, of course he knows that martial arts can't be linked to genes or anything, but since Westerners want a reasonable explanation, then give him a reasonable explanation.

Martial arts change the genes of the human body, and because this change requires very precise cooperation from all sides, there are cases where the failure of the change causes the cultivator to be paralyzed (go mad). Moreover, the physique of the cultivator must be qualified, as well as all aspects, so that it should be able to be accepted by those Westerners who pay attention to the scientific spirit in everything.

Solving this most difficult problem, Xiao Ran finally explained what he wanted to say, and Lin Qingxia suddenly realized. However, she quickly propped her hands on the desk in confusion and asked, "Is that really martial arts?" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, whether there was or not, it didn't matter at all. Because what he wants to express is a relatively exaggerated martial arts story with fantasy colors. In addition to this, he even imagined what his next solo work would look like.

In the next part, he wanted to shoot Taoism, and since he got this inspiration, it suddenly opened his mind. He thought that he could use the abilities understood in the West to explain the Dao arts, for example, the charm could be understood as the Tao magic instilled its own abilities on this piece of paper, and then used those words to suppress the energy on it, or enhance it.

Now Xiao Ran is almost crazy with excitement, as long as he can write these two scripts, he can be regarded as a real screenwriter, not the screenwriter who only relied on plagiarism before. This is exactly the reason why Xiao Ran has a number of classic films in his hands, but he himself doesn't write them, or even don't want to direct them. He wants a reputation that is entirely his own, not something he has earned through plagiarism.

Seeing Xiao Ran jumping in the room for a long time like crazy, Lin Qingxia opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it, her face full of surprise. Of course, I was not surprised by Xiao Ran's screenwriting talent, but surprised that Xiao Ran was so happy that he could figure out such a question.

Seeing Xiao Ran's expression, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but catch him funny. Xiao Ran smiled, hugged her and fell on the bed, and was about to kiss that delicate face, but was blocked by a hand, Lin Qingxia said with a straight face: "Dad, have you solved that matter?" ”

"Not yet!" Xiao Ran smiled lightly, he was not worried about this matter at all. If he can't even deal with Mo Huaien, then he should simply quit the game, anyway, there must be more poisonous tricks in Hollywood later: "Mo Huaien did it, I don't want to touch him for the time being!" ”

"Mo Wynne?" Lin Qingxia thought about it in confusion before remembering that it was the guy who had pursued her for a long time, and wondered if it was for herself, her face changed slightly: "What does he want to do, he is too practical and not easy to deal with!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled faintly, in his concept, there is no opponent who is easy to deal with, and if it is easy to deal with, then it is not called an opponent. Because Mo Huaien is too practical, he is definitely very profit-oriented in doing business, which is to have shortcomings, and if there are shortcomings, there will be fatal injuries. Xiao Ran's own fatal injury lies in Lin Qingxia and his film career, and whoever can seize these two points will have a chance to defeat him.

However, he never understood what drove a pragmatist like Mowyn to act indirectly against him. Naturally, there is only one answer, interests, great interests. But what exactly is the benefit, and who gives him the benefit? This is still in Xiao Ran's suspicions.

What made him very confused was that Ming Xuan was only in debt of hundreds of millions, as long as the phantom became the owner, he could resist this debt at any time, why did Mo Huaien take that piece of land at that time? He gently let his fingers dance on his lap as he thought quietly. Unless, unless Mo Huai'en Zhi is not in that land? Otherwise, it would be impossible to take it in the hands of the Phantom.

The four major companies of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, Songzhu, Dongbao, Yuehe, and Toei, as well as the two major distribution companies of South Korea, Xijie and Corson, all need to be dealt with by Xiao Ran. At the very least, if he wants to dominate the Asian market, these studios will inevitably be an obstacle.

In fact, in South Korea, Xiao Ran already feels very lucky. Because in 1991, South Korea's Samsung, Hyundai and Daewoo and other large companies will enter the film industry one after another due to certain policy changes, and control the vast majority of South Korea's movie theaters with financial resources.

It's just that it's not easy to deal with so many opponents. Xiao Ran can be said to have a deep headache about this, but this is definitely not out of the question, isn't it? I saw that his eyes lit up and he smiled weirdly!

"Heavenly Love" was released around Christmas, and the box office also reached 40 million, and "Bloody Heroes" was temporarily put in the film library for the time being. Because he suddenly realized that it might be necessary to keep two trump cards in his hands at all times to deal with the attacks of his peers. However, "Bloody Heroes" is not very suitable for release during the Spring Festival, and it can be released in May.

As for this year's summer vacation, Xiao Ran has moved his position to "Terminator 2" and another campus youth film "Truant Dragon". He dares to guarantee that the Phantom will fill the cinema with all kinds of blockbusters every year, so that everyone willingly puts in their pockets.

And in this current Spring Festival file, Xiao Ran plans to focus on two Chinese New Year films. One of them is "The Gambler" starring Liu Hua and Wang Zuxian, but this "Gambler" is completely different from the original version, only borrowing this signboard, and the other is "Die Hard" directed by Chen Jiashang, who has just taken the position, and starring Li Lianjie.

Of course, don't think that the Phantom of the Spring Festival schedule only has these two films released, but it is mainly based on these two films. There are also two or three other films released at the same time, but there are not so many screening halls, and the art theater is also showing two literary films. This is the benefit of controlling the cinema chain, which can be adjusted as you like.

Other companies are not able to launch two major plays for the Chinese New Year, one is that there are fewer theaters, and the other is because they do not have the production capacity as strong as Phantom. This time, Golden Harvest released the film "Miracle", and Debao is a comedy romance film that Xiao Ran has no impression of at all, the director is also just debuted, the title is "Heavenly Love", and Tianluo Company is based on a realistic action film produced by Mai Dangxiong.

Seeing that the Spring Festival was not far away, at Xiao Ran's request, the Film Association held a meeting. It's still dominated by the big four companies, and in fact, it's not interesting for other companies to come, because they can't talk at all. However, this time, in addition to the big four, there are several other small distribution companies involved.

Wu Siyuan still stayed in the position of chairman at the top, and the others all sat down in order according to their respective strengths. Wu Siyuan cleared his throat and said to everyone present: "Actually, this time the meeting was requested by Mr. Xiao, why don't we listen to his opinions!" ”

Xiao Ran stood up, smiling and walking slowly around the conference room, letting the other people's puzzled glances at him. It's not that Xiao Ran is pretending, but he is thinking about expressing his meaning in such a tone. It's not impossible to be harsh, but it won't be too public.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran smiled lightly, glanced at the bosses who were staring at him, and said lightly: "Last year, the bosses must have earned a lot." ”

"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this?" Zou Wenhuai stared at Xiao Ran dissatisfied, he was not as idle as Xiao Ran and had nothing to do. It is enough to have a meeting like this, so why invite him too: "Everyone is busy, if you have anything to say, you just say it!" ”
