Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mediating Conflicts

"There's one more thing!" Xiao Ran rubbed his nose, obviously what he wanted to say was not necessarily a good thing: "That, how much money does the company have now?" I'm going to use some of it for something else. ”

"Except for the 10 million you took some time ago, there are about 60 million!" Wei Dongling's expression was very confused, in fact, the company's finances Xiao Ran was clear, and every major expenditure had to be signed by Xiao Ran himself: "How much do you want, what do you use it for?" ”

Xiao Ran was very depressed, what could he do with only 60 million? If it's 600 million, then you can make a lot of money. The stock market crash, Xiao Ran is just like a black-hearted businessman hoarding grain, looking forward to the stock market crash: "How much money does the company need to leave for turnover?" ”

Wei Dongling began to feel bad, didn't such a question make it clear that Xiao Ran wanted to withdraw all the money? After calculating it in his mind, he soon stared at Xiao Ran and gave an answer: "Thirty million, "A Chinese Ghost Story" and other films are about to start filming, if you are not willing to go to financing, then the risk will be borne by ourselves!" ”

Xiao Ran was stunned, only 30 million, what can he do in the stock market crash? However, in the second half of the year, the Phantom Company did open a lot of dramas, such as "The Saint of Gambling" and "The Ghost Inn" and so on. If you don't want others to share the risk, you must not raise money.

Silent! Xiao Ran thought under the stares of Guan Xin and Wei Dongling, he originally planned to take "Autumn Fairy Tale" to the Venice Film Festival to participate in the competition, which is likely to help open up the European and American markets. It's just that the money prepared for the stock market crash is not enough now, and he is wondering whether to let the film be released in advance, and make enough money first.

It is really a dilemma, the interests of the stock market crash are not something that Xiao Ran can give up, but the European and American markets are more important to him. After thinking about it for a while, he gritted his teeth with hatred and decided that it was appropriate to stay at the exhibition, which would be in line with the long-term interests.

It's not that Xiao Ran doesn't want to release "Autumn Fairy Tale" first, and then take it to the film festival competition, which can achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone. But he knows better that for film festivals with a little more influence, the rule of the game is that the films in competition must not have been officially released.

Money! Money is the priority. But where can Xiao Ran get money? This is not an easy task. A loan was a good idea, but he didn't think the bank would lend him money to speculate in stocks. It seems that this is destined to become the source of Xiao Ran's headache in the short term.

The next day, he didn't have time to take care of this matter, because he invited Xu Ke and Wu Yusen out to help them negotiate peacefully. Of course, Wu Yusen must get his hands on it, and "Bloody Heroes" still needs him to be the director.

To be honest, Xiao Ran admires the current director very much, not only can direct, but also can edit. Whether it is Xu Ke or Wu Yusen, they are all very versatile masters of this kind. It's just that some things are destined to become more and more professional. It's like photography in 20 years there will be physical shooting, and there will be virtual shooting.

Wu Yusen and Xu Ke both put one hand on the table, although there was no scene where they were angry at each other as soon as they met, but they were absolutely incompatible. Xiao Ran thought it was funny, it was really a bit nonsense that such a young guy would come to persuade these two directors who were definitely big names to reconcile.

"Would you like something to eat? I've heard that the cured meat here is great! Xiao Ran and they are now in a lap-mei shop, and his tone is very teasing: "Don't? That's a real pity, give me some! The last sentence was addressed to the waiter.

"Ah Ran, say whatever you want!" Wu Yusen said to Xiao Ran with an unkind expression: "If you want to talk about the matter between me and him, then there is no need. Now that I've decided to join the Phantom, it has nothing to do with him! ”

"I'm sorry, Xinyicheng doesn't need a director who doesn't listen to the producer's command!" Unexpectedly, Xu Ke was very powerful when he sneered at him: "Especially a director like you who doesn't shoot according to the script!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, he felt that Wu Yusen didn't understand Xu Ke very well, and Xu Ke didn't understand Wu Yusen very well, which caused the current incompatibility. Originally, after Wu Yusen entered Hollywood, he knew what restriction was.

In Hollywood, he didn't even have the right to make the final cut, and the resulting film was not what he wanted at all. Even his work "Spy in Spy 2", which became popular in Hollywood, also has no editing rights, and is restricted by producers in Hong Kong and even more restricted by producers in Hollywood. At that time, he gradually understood Xu Ke.

Wu Yusen is easy to do, the trouble is Xu Ke, Xu Ke has always been a stubborn kind of person, but it is not easy to deal with. When filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he had a quarrel with senior director Hu Jinquan so much that even Lei Kaitai came out to intervene, but Xu Ke still insisted on going his own way, which is a proof.

"People, the higher you climb, the fewer you have friends!" Xiao Ran is sincerely emotional, most of the friends who used to call him Ah Ran have changed their titles: "You two are the most powerful directors in the local area, do you really want the height to be cold?" ”

"I think there's a communication problem with you!" Xiao Ran smiled, Xu Ke is not good at words, this is something that everyone knows better, Wu Yusen is obviously not very good at the kind of person who knows how to speak beautifully: "Otherwise, there is no reason to suddenly become an enemy from a good friend, how much hatred does this need!" However, there is no reason to cooperate on one or two films to become an enemy. ”

Wu Yusen and Xu Ke were suddenly anxious, and the former hurriedly said to Xiao Ran: "No, Ah Ran, you don't know who he is, I'm the director, of course it's up to me to decide how to shoot!" However, he actually intervened and said that it should not be filmed like this here, and it should not be filmed like that there, you say, what would you do if it was changed? ”

Xu Ke was not silent, and also glared at Wu Yusen and said to Xiao Ran: "Ah Ran, the matter is very simple, his shooting method is wrong, as a producer, there is no reason not to point it out!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, and sure enough, as he expected, there was indeed a problem with communication. After thinking about it, Xiao Ran hit the nail on the head: "Your question is, should the producer interfere in the director's duties?" If you can't solve this, you can't reconcile, right? ”

The two nodded at the same time, glaring at each other. Xiao Ran laughed even more, and stretched out his finger to point at the two of them: "What's so difficult to solve here?" Brother Sen, when you joined Xinyicheng, you knew that there was a producer system, and in order to ensure commercial success, you must restrain the director's free play! Didn't Liang Puzhi be removed from his position as a director in the first place? ”

"But it's different!" Wu Yusen saw Xiao Ran helping Xu Ke speak, and suddenly became anxious: "I filmed completely according to your script, but he still wants to interfere, what do you say I should do?" Quarrel or fight? ”

Xiao Ran nodded and looked at Xu Ke with an unhappy face: "Old Xu, do you think it's tricky?" It's not easy to make a sequel, not only to ensure commercial success, but also to ensure that it can be at the level of the first two parts? Under the suffering of gains and losses, so he has made a great constraint on Brother Sen? However, I think you may have forgotten that this film was successful because of Asen's play and passion, and if he deliberately restrained his creation, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”

Sequels are indeed not easy to make, especially those of classics. It is definitely a very difficult thing to ensure the interests and ensure that you are not scolded for being a dog's tail and mink, and the difficulty is that it invisibly creates a layer of pressure on the creator's mentality. Xiao Ran believes that if Wu Yusen and Xu Ke are not working together on this sequel one after another, it is likely that there will be no conflict.

The two of them analyzed Xiao Ran, and only then did they find that it seemed that it was not easy for both sides. Xu Ke is the boss, and he must guarantee his interests. And Wu Yusen is a creator, and he also needs to play freely. Just when they were speechless, Xiao Ran sighed, shook his head and said, "I think if the identities of the two of you are reversed, you will know each other's difficulties." Now it seems like it's going to be hard to reconcile, and I don't even bother to say anything more! ”

"But do you have to put things off in your work and your lives?" Looking at the two master directors, Xiao Ran smiled bitterly: "Life is not annoying enough? Is it true that if there is a contradiction in work, you will not be friends in life? I really don't understand you anymore, you just don't have to cooperate anymore when you get older! ”

Wu Yusen and Xu Ke quickly glanced at each other, and they were both quite moved by Xiao Ran's words. That's right, just because there are conflicts at work doesn't mean you can't continue to be friends in life. The two of them were originally resolute people, and when no one could mediate, they naturally died as if their necks were smeared with Indian divine oil.

But now that Xiao Ran has found a reason for them to reconcile, then it seems that there is no need for them to confront each other like this. However, it may still be a little awkward to shake hands like this. Therefore, the two of them said to Xiao Ran at the same time: "Let's talk about this later!" ”

Seeing each other's actions, both of them laughed at the same time. This smile was like the sun that dispelled the clouds, so that Xiao Ran quickly saw the sunshine and became happy. is even more proud, proud that he was able to reconcile the two masters more than ten years in advance.

Next, Xiao Ran called Lin Qingxia to find the parents of the twins. The matter was actually very easy to solve, but the parents were convinced, and it was quickly resolved.

However, Xiao Ran didn't know that something had happened in the company. When Wei Dongling was working in the office, Wang Yu and two of his subordinates rushed in arrogantly, looking left and right and not seeing Xiao Ran, Wang Yu glared at Wei Dongling hatefully: "Where is Xiao Ran?" ”

"He's out on an errand, do you have something to look for him? It's all the same with me! Of course Wei Dongling recognized Wang Yu, and Xiao Ran also mentioned to him about framing this kid. I couldn't help but think: The incident happened, and people came to the door.

Absence? Wang Yu is very unhappy now, his film has been forcibly asked to be painted by the film company, because the box office is too poor. He is not stupid, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that the whole thing was done by Xiao Ran on purpose, otherwise why would there be a fierce movie like "Prison Storm" to fight against the stage.

Seven million! Wang Yu was extremely distressed, the total box office was only 7 million, and he didn't even return to his book. Some money was sold in other cities, but the money added up was just barely recouping. But this one is removed from taxes, and he is really at a loss.

He didn't care about the lost money, he just hated Xiao Ran and secretly struck him. It's just that he didn't remember that it was originally a script written by Xiao Ran himself, and how many people in the circle didn't hate him? Maybe it's just the half-martial arts and half-underworld guys under him.

"You tell Xiao Ran to walk carefully in the future, don't let anything happen!" Wang Yu viciously threw down this sentence and walked away with his subordinates, leaving only Wei Dongling secretly sighing that as long as such a person's interests were harmed, he would show a hideous face.

But things may not be as Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling understood, Wang Yu was blocked by an expensive RV when he left the building. Just when this guy was about to vent his anger, a head poked out of the car window and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, our boss wants to talk to you!" ”

Wang Yu lowered his head and looked into the car window, looking at the vaguely familiar face, he remembered one thing, a scandal that caused a sensation in Southeast Asia. His brain was not bad, and he quickly thought of what the other party was looking for him, nodded and politely got into the car......

In the past few days, the Miss Hong Kong election is very fierce, and the popular Qiu Shuzhen was kicked by her old classmates and abstained from leaving. Xiao Ran thinks that Qiu Shuzhen is a very tasteful one of Hong Kong actresses, but unfortunately, he has little interest in her.

Perhaps it is better to say that Xiao Ran is now more focused on cultivating his own strength. This weekend, he took the two sisters to meet the head of the artist training department, Hai Lulu, who is a very charming woman.

The Phantom Company has only temporarily rented a house as a training ground, and does not have a space entirely of its own. However, this seems to be difficult for Hylulu, a capable woman, and the Phantom Company spends a lot of money on the artist training department every month.

Xiao Ran did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire real etiquette, acting and dance masters to come to the training, each session lasted for half a year, which shows how much he attaches importance to this. Every artist who is confirmed to be able to sign a contract must sign a three-year contract with Phantom Company.

In fact, three years is a very normal time, and the conditions here are undoubtedly much more favorable than wireless. The only drawback is that, due to strength, all this does not seem as secure as imagined.

There are not many artist training courses in Phantom, but they are definitely very professional, such as actors' courses that include etiquette and psychology. Xiao Ran knew very well how important it was to reserve strength.

There was once an actor in Hollywood who won the Oscar and praised the teacher who taught him to act, but the teacher just pointed to the passerby walking hurriedly outside the window and said: "Every actor walking outside can play as well as you, but you are lucky, so you won this award!" ”
