Chapter 110: Technical Adjustments
Everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't expect Xiao Ran to pay so much attention to talents, and they all had the idea of being honored. Speaking of this, Xiao Ran nodded to Wei Dongling, and sat down himself. Wei Dongling coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention before saying: "Because the company is currently rich in funds, it is now necessary to add three new departments, one is the audio and video department, which is responsible for the production and distribution of video tapes and related products. ”
"One is the marketing department, which is responsible for advertising. There is also the investment department, which will be responsible for investigating the business environment and making investigation suggestions to me and Boss Xiao! The new manager is called Tang Yan! Wei Dongling pointed to one of them.
Speaking of this, the only unusual young foreigner in the conference room stood up and greeted everyone in Chinese with a smile. This is a friend Wei Dongling met when he was studying in the United States, and according to Wei Dongling, this Tang Yan has a great investment vision. Originally, Wei Dongling was an excellent candidate for the investment department, but unfortunately he was the general manager.
After saying hello, Tang Yan put forward his first investment proposal to Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling very resolutely: "I have roughly investigated, and the current land price in Hong Kong has fallen by as much as 30%, and all kinds of information show that this is already a limit. So, I think in the coming year, the company's investment target should be real estate! ”
Real estate is certainly worth investing in, but Xiao Ran values stocks more. Stocks in the local market in Hong Kong, as well as shares in Microsoft on the U.S. stock market. Although Xiao Ran does not know the specific history of Microsoft, he still knows that Microsoft is now in the development period.
Again, he knows better that Microsoft will always appreciate in value in the future, so no matter how high the current Microsoft stock price is, it is definitely worth buying. Besides, he has inquired that Microsoft was only listed last year, and it is only a year, and there is still a lot of room to buy.
The most critical thing is that Xiao Ran found Paul, one of the founders of Microsoft; Ellen has now left Microsoft and is selling off her stock. And Xiao Ran still has a very sharp handicap Fang Xiaoqiang to send, and it is definitely not a problem to get Microsoft's stock.
Coincidentally, Fang Xiaoqiang has just completed the acquisition of Xinbao's parent company in the past few days, and it only took 60 million yuan to get it through the stock market crash. paid 200 million yuan to Fang Xiaoqiang to go to the United States to get back Microsoft's shares, of course, this was acquired in Xiao Ran's personal name.
After being busy with everything in this short period of time, Xiao Ran finally relaxed a lot. It's just that after sitting in this position, Xiao Ran seems to be idle. After just being busy for a while, I started to write the script.
His next target is "Dark Flower", this film Xiao Ran's memory is so deep that he can't change it if he wants to. After a few days, the script was completed, and Xiao Ran found You Hai and You Zhi, who had been following Wei Jiahui, and called their master.
In Xiao Ran's office, Wei Jiahui was very confused and brought two apprentices in, and after each sat down. Xiao Ran smiled and handed them the water: "Xiaobao, how did Ah You and Ah Zhi learn?" ”
"Almost, I've taught everything I can teach, and now it's just a chance to practice!" Wei Jiahui looked at Xiao Ran with a hippie smile helplessly, glanced at Shuangyou, who was a little restrained, and said, "Are you going to use them?" ”
"Yes, it's time to use them!" Xiao Ran said with a solemn expression: "People, they always make progress in practice. Now that the company has given a lot of opportunities to newcomers, it's time for you to give it a try. ”
Wei Jiahui and Shuangyou suddenly looked happy, they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Ever since they learned a few days ago that the company had just acquired an art theater chain with only four or five theaters as an experimental base for new artists and new works, they began to crave it.
Xiao Ran didn't say more, and threw the script of "Dark Flower" and the script of "Dark War" to the three of them respectively, and then told them: "You go back and look at these two books, and tell me what these two books have in common, where are the strengths and weaknesses!" ”
Xiao Ran of "Dark War" has not planned to start filming, but he will not be a director when filming starts. His current goal is "Dark Flower", call Yu Jiayu, a producer who has shown considerable ability, and Xiao Ran will give him the script again and ask him to find the people behind the scenes.
However, as for the starring role, Xiao Ran has his own ideas in his heart. This film naturally has to be Fa Ge, and as for the other actor, it is really not easy to find. At present, there are definitely a handful of actors who can play with Fa Ge, Xiao Ran really wants to star by himself, but he doesn't think his acting skills are so good.
Yu Jiayu saw Xiao Ran's sad appearance, and asked tentatively: "Boss, are you thinking about the choice of the leading actor?" I propose that Wan Ziliang play the role of a bald head, what do you think? ”
Xiao Ran shook his head slightly, Wan Ziliang is indeed suitable, but he prefers to be starred by the company's contracted artists. In fact, Liu Qingyun is a good candidate, but he is still young now, and there is no way to match Fa Ge.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ran depressedly instructed Yu Jiayu to do things first: "The two leading actors, I will think about it myself, you go and find the behind-the-scenes team." Remember, I only want the best. ”
Depressed, Xiao Ran went straight to Lin Qingxia, Lin Qingxia was even more depressed than him, because she hadn't played for a long time. mentioned this, Xiao Ran was even more depressed, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is good, "Dragon Gate Inn" is good, but these films are all directed by Xu Ke.
Now Xu Keken is already very face-saving to help him shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story", if he wants to continue to do this, it will be difficult. Unless, unless you can bring down the film studio and get Xu Ke in your hands.
If Xiao Ran had 10 billion in his hands, he would definitely buy Lei Kaitai's listed company shares at any cost, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the film studio, Xinyi City, and the Golden Princess Cinema Line. However, at present, with his financial resources, it is obviously impossible to do so.
In fact, Xiao Ran knows very well that he doesn't need to recruit every outstanding filmmaker. However, he knew better that the company did not have a real strongman, which was a very difficult thing. The most important thing is that Xiao Ran only hopes to recruit the most powerful directors now and in the future, and leave the rest to other companies.
Next, he went to the artist training department and met Hailulu. The first batch of entertainers has already graduated, there are only eight singers, and there are fifteen actors. The singer will soon have a place to settle, and Xiao Ran invested 100 million to start a record company, called Tian Lai. However, this company is the Phantom's first subsidiary.
Hai Lulu gave Xiao Ran the information of the fifteen actors, and Xiao Ran browsed it and didn't find anything needed. The only thing that interested him was the two actors, a man and a woman, the man was definitely not handsome, but he had a very surname, and his stage name was Su Renyao.
The woman's name is Feng Fei'er, and she looks a little bit of national beauty, but in Xiao Ran's eyes, what makes him even more curious is that this woman's temperament is outstanding. This man and woman are obviously quite good, Xiao Ran nodded to Hai Lulu: "Are they here?" ”
Hai Lulu frowned and shook her head and said, "I arranged for their batch of graduates to go to a few crews to practice acting, but they are not here!" ”
Xiao Ran nodded, this is correct. Only with enough acting experience can you hone in on a superb enough performance. Just like Zhang Manyu, if there were no bad films in the early days, it would definitely not be possible to be polished into diamonds in the future.
Just thinking of this, Xiao Ran was very depressed. TV dramas are actually a place that can train actors, and countless real acting schools in the Hong Kong film industry started from making TV dramas. I just hate that he doesn't dare to touch the TV industry at all now, otherwise Wireless will definitely turn his face immediately.
With the super strength of wireless, it was able to suppress ATV for more than 20 years, and Jiayi was even forced to go out of business. Later, wireless and even cable TV stations began to crack down. Xiao Ran can't imagine how strong the hope of wireless in the monopoly of the industry is, if the station is still standing firm and going against wireless, it is inevitable to be sad.
"It's okay, go get their graduation tape!" Xiao Ran thinks that these two people are very good, they already look very tasteful in the photos, and if they are on the screen, they will definitely have more achievements.
The graduation video is the exam that the Phantom does when the artists graduate, but the Phantom recorded these so that he can keep them for later inspection of the artists. Taking the video tape and taking a look, Xiao Ran gradually smiled, this Su Renyao is a very man's type, and this Feng Fei'er is a very female type, the contrast is very strong, very huge.
"Okay, it's them, they will definitely be popular!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly, as long as there are two students in each batch who can really have the ability to become popular, it is enough.
In fact, in addition to other factors, there is another reason for the collapse of Hong Kong films - salary. The salaries of the stars remain high, and even the foreign market is gone, and it is still the same price, no wonder there is no price in the market.
And there are also many reasons why Hong Kong movies can't last, one of which is that there are too few really good actors, and it's those actors who turn it over, which is not a good imagination. In order to successfully entrench in the Southeast Asian market, the quantity and quality of actors and stars are extremely high.
Therefore, to solve the above two problems, Xiao Ran must cultivate a large number of stars and actors, even if it can't be used by him, it is worth it. And when there are more stars, there will naturally be more choices, and before any star wants to raise the price, he will consider whether the drama will not work without him, which is one of the good ways to restrict the crazy growth of the salary.
Of course, Xiao Ran will not deliberately press the salary, the key to the question is whether this star is worth the price. It seems that Fa Ge and Lin Qingxia have a market in the entire Southeast Asia, so the salary will naturally be high. If the market in other places is not large, the salary will be low.
Hai Lulu has no opinion on Xiao Ran's choice, but she thinks that Su Renyao doesn't seem to be worthy of praise. Originally, in her opinion, Su Renyao was far from being a handsome guy, and his body was not very strong, so the value of this could be used was not much.
Xiao Ran saw Hai Lulu's expression, smiled slightly and told her: "The company wants not only stars, but also actors, actors with acting skills." Acting skills are actually very easy to fascinate people, and an actor with a surname like this is definitely promising. ”
Acting is indeed a very fascinating thing, especially for fans, it is better not to watch the plot, as long as there is acting appreciation. At least Xiao Ran likes the acting skills of Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun and others, which is a very interesting thing.
"It doesn't matter if you're ugly, you will always need supporting roles in movies." Xiao Ran saw that Hai Lulu still couldn't understand, shook his head and sighed: "As long as the performance is good enough and distinctive enough, it is also very attractive!" Isn't there always a harlequin comedian! ”
Hai Lulu understood what Xiao Ran meant now, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh, acting is really ethereal. However, thinking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly had an idea, why not use Su Renyao to play Yaodong in "Dark Flower".
Strictly speaking, in fact, Xiao Ran is very eager for Fa Ge to play such a ruthless role as Yaodong. It's a pity that Fa Ge has no reason to shave his head in order to film this drama. Thinking of this, he thought of the sisters, and went to a dance studio with Hailulu, and he saw that the two little sisters were struggling to dance a very strange dance.
Seeing Xiao Ran's eyes, Hai Lulu explained with a smile: "This is a Scottish dance, since the president plans to make them popular, he must learn enough things." Without these things, you can't be qualified to become popular. ”
Xiao Ran secretly sighed, people are really simple now, after 20 years, don't say that she is a girl like a flower, even a can be popular, as long as you have money to smash it. However, it also made him decide that he must maintain this good tradition no matter what.
The two sisters danced under the guidance of the dance teacher, although they saw Xiao Ran, and they wanted to make love with this powerful big brother in the past, but they knew that if something went wrong, the dance teacher's punishment was very strict.
Xiao Ran looked at the two girls with a smile and finished their dance, and suddenly saw that both of them were running over here. Fan Xiaoya looked at Xiao Ran aggrievedly: "Brother Xiao, it's very hard to learn these things, I'm about to get tired!" ”
