The next day, Xiao Ran led the team to triumph and met the "warm reception" of the reporters at the airport, which was naturally not mentioned. www.biquge.info This time, it is indeed a very successful one, and several films invested by the Phantom have been won in Cannes, if it is said that it belongs to the Phantom's session, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

The Phantom's Gate of Glory and Wall of Glory have added a few heavy strokes, and it may not be known whether it will still be able to win at the Academy Awards next year. At least, no one dares to deny that Phantom is one of the most famous and influential film companies in the world.

It's just that this time, the reporters finally stopped hiding the questions in their hearts, and asked the world through the pen in the newspaper: "Can the Phantom challenge the seven major Hollywood companies, and can Hong Kong films challenge Hollywood ......?"

"True Colors" is about to start a test screening this night, but Xiao Ran doesn't have the energy to think about this. He is now browsing the project decision-making report submitted by the planning department, on which there are many videos. For example, one of them is a war theme, which is about the War of Resistance against Japan, and there are as many as two science fiction films in it.

What makes Xiao Ran happy is that this time "Midnight Murder" finally found a suitable person to be the director - Zheng Baorui. This is a very talented young director, and he has a special set of horror themes and thriller themes. The very stylized "Big-headed Monster Baby" is his work, without any horror pictures, but it gives people a terrifying feeling, and the director is very strong in creating an atmosphere.

There are not many directors in Hong Kong who are good at horror and ghost films, and the Pang brothers are outstanding talents, while Zheng Baorui is better at creating fear of reason and thinking. In addition to these two people, Ye Weixin, who is currently working as an assistant director, is barely one, such as his early work "Turning the Dead Corpse" is quite good. However, Ye Weixin is better at using various themes to write love. For example, the theme of "Five Scary Boys" is family affection, and the part that is like a roller coaster is very creative.

Xiao Ran looked at Zheng Baorui's name on it, and suddenly remembered one thing, he vaguely remembered that he had admired this guy directing an extremely experimental film. There was no content at all in that film, only a few things were shaking.

Zheng Baorui is actually not only good at thriller themes, but also very good at social ethics and the like, such as his early "Glowing Stone", which fascinated Xiao Ran for a while. However, in order to set an example for thrillers, Xiao Ran had no choice but to choose Zheng Baorui to do it. Next are two cartoons, one is "The Lion King 2", and the other is "Mulan", Xiao Ran of course approved it without hesitation.

Finally dealt with these things, Xiao Ran had time to think about other things. The mainland and Hollywood, the mainland is now stuck in the censorship system, Xiao Ran does not dare to expect to be able to attack his country's political axe like Hollywood, but he only wants to be able to launch a grading system, and with the grading system, the censorship level can be solved to the greatest extent, and the reason why the mainland political axe has always refused to do the grading system in history is nothing more than this reason.

Xiao Ran came to the window, staring out of the window as always, he always felt that such a broad vision could be beneficial to his thinking. I saw him clasping his hands, his fingers flicking, and his mind was thinking quickly.

On the mainland side...... Xiao Ran thought quietly, he knew very well that whether in practice or in theory, China's political axe needs an influential film like Hong Kong films. This means that the better Hong Kong behaves locally, the more eager China's political axe becomes.

Xiao Ran knows very well the Chinese tradition of good face, and they can lose everything, that is, they can't lose face. Movies are a face, and don't forget that movies are also one of the means of promoting culture. Therefore, there is no reason for China's political axe to reject the Hong Kong film industry.

In fact, it is obvious what kind of benefits Hong Kong films can bring to China with such a huge influence, and it is impossible to refuse. Therefore, Xiao Ran believes that China's political axe cannot be rejected as it has been in history because of some variables in the Hong Kong film industry.

The question is, how much time it takes to accept. Xiao Ran couldn't wait indefinitely, he had already determined that before 1995, the political axe did not give a definite answer. Then he will personally preside over the transformation of the Hong Kong film industry, increasing the number of foreign-language films produced to about one-third, and then the Hong Kong film industry will be able to transform into a "United Nations" with mainly local films.

There is no doubt that the Hong Kong film industry currently has a perfect film circulation system, and Phantom also has one of the largest distribution networks in the world, with the largest talent outside of Hollywood. In this way, Hong Kong films can not only lose the mainland market, but also use talents and funds, as well as equipment and technology to invest in the production of films in other languages.

This is the only way to make the Hong Kong film industry continue to rise, at least after losing the mainland market. However, Xiao Ran has only made preparations and has not yet started to execute. In his mind, censorship definitely has a good chance of opening up.

The only link that is lacking now is the censorship system, whether it is distribution or production, Hong Kong films have successfully entered the market. As long as it is returned, it will be able to become wholly Hong Kong-funded.

Is it time to put pressure on you? Xiao Ran thought quietly, this is obviously not an easy thing to grasp. If it is not controlled enough, it is easy to give people a bad feeling, which is definitely unbearable.

Xiao Ran didn't think about this, on the contrary, the reason why he chose to enter Hollywood at that time last year was because it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and secondly, because he needed to use it to show a gesture to China's political axe. He wants to use this to tell the political axe that after the Phantom acquires Universal, it can attack and retreat, and it may not necessarily develop the mainland market.

Now it's hard to tell if it's the fingers that jump to the rhythm of the mind, or if the mind jumps with the fingers. Xiao Ran closed his eyes slightly and sighed, he couldn't imagine that it would be such a difficult thing to enter his own country.

Pinch your fingers and calculate, the time for the Queen of England to confer the knighthood is almost time, and I believe that the Chinese political axe will be able to see its name in it. What kind of thrill would that be? Xiao Ran quietly stood in the position of the political axe and thought. He thought that the political axe should know that the purpose of his doing this was to exert pressure, but he had to admit that it was indeed quite an exciting thing.

If Xiao Ran is willing to play bigger, he can even threaten that the tens of billions of funds of the Phantom of the Political Axe will be gradually withdrawn from the mainland within three or five years, which may be able to achieve the goal. However, threatening China's political axe? Don't say whether Xiao Ran dares or not, he himself is absolutely unwilling to show such an ugly appearance to foreigners.

Therefore, this matter must be agreed on in private, and it must not be exposed. Perhaps, perhaps, there is also a political capital that can be used, kinetic energy to control the Russian oil fields. Not to mention the sale to petrochemicals, it's just that Phantom invests in oil pipelines to get oil to China, which is definitely a huge capital.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's fingers suddenly stopped flicking, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He thought that if there were no accidents, the grading system could be solved this year, which would depend on his means and ambush.

When it was Hollywood's turn to think, Xiao Ran felt that the most difficult problem was still in the mainland. As long as he gains access to the mainland market, his task will basically be over. Still, he plans to give Hollywood a try.

The key is, what does Xiao Ran think, does he want to completely crush Hollywood and monopolize the global film market like his original unrealistic ideal? This is a consideration, even though it seems like an impossible task.

The second is to let Chinese films have a considerable market in North America, beating the seven, no, the six King Kongs in a real sense. Secondly, Hong Kong and Hollywood are ruled by the ocean, each occupying a hill to rule the eastern and western hemispheres.

Defeat and defeat are very different, the former is only defeated in strength, and the latter is to make it completely down, losing the ability to fight back. The planning department once gave Xiao Ran a report, believing that even if all seven major Hollywood companies collapsed, American movies collapsed for some reason. That one can operate, and the same can run maturely, because they have a complete and mature film business system.

Therefore, it is absolutely an unrealistic fantasy to completely defeat Hollywood, and it is impossible to achieve it unless the economy and finance of the United States itself completely collapses! When Xiao Ran thought of this, he suddenly felt that attacking the US economy was not a bad thing. It's just that the Phantom has absolutely no such reality, unless the Phantom can mobilize a trillion dollars in the shortest possible time, it will not be able to plunge the US economy into chaos, even Fang Xiaoqiang, who is known as Asia's number one player.

As for being the king of Hollywood, that is also Xiao Ran's unwilling choice. If that's all he wants, then he can get out of the way now and live the life he likes, and he doesn't need to plot all day long. This can only be a plan that has to be taken after the lack of the mainland market or the phantom has a big problem, and it is also Xiao Ran's bottom line.

Among the three plans given by Xiao Ran, the most appropriate one is to defeat this plan. In fact, this is relatively speaking, but the surname is very strong. What the Phantom needs to do is simply defeat the big six companies, take a portion of their distribution rights, and snipe Hollywood films around the world. And Universal, as the ghost flag planted in Hollywood, will play a role in determining the surname.

As long as it can beat the big six companies, it will take the opportunity to take over their distribution network, and coupled with the strong production capacity of Hong Kong films, it can seize Hollywood's overseas market in the short term. In this way, the final victory in Xiao Ran's strategic concept can be formed.

Murdoch is also a troublesome character, and Xiao Ran couldn't help frowning. Murdoch's News Corp. grew rapidly in the mid-to-late 90s and was bound to become a formidable rival to Scholar Media. And, don't forget, this old guy also controls Fox, and being able to deal with him is equivalent to solving Fox.

It's not easy to deal with this old guy, but it's definitely not without a chance. Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling discussed how to exterminate News Corp last year, and both believed that News Corp. would develop rapidly in recent years. The sequelae of rapid development is a shortage of funds, and this is a place that can be exploited.

News Corp belongs to Murdoch, so it's definitely good to say that this old guy is a reader. In this way, there is a downside, as long as it can put News Corp in trouble, then Murdoch must be dismal.

There is also a problem, which is Soros. This damn guy is tricky, Hong Kong's decades of rapid development have highlighted a lot of problems by now, and the financial turmoil will come sooner or later. That being the case, then why not let it go ahead of time, and solve it in a situation that you can control. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran preliminarily determined the time to lure Soros to attack - 1997. If his plan hadn't gone fatally, in 1997 he would have been able to solve all the problems and get out of the way.

Just thinking about building his own plan, Han Yun's voice came from the phone: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Huang from Yanjing wants to see you!" ”

Huang Qun? The first thought that flashed through Xiao Ran's mind was like this, the visitor was indeed Huang Qun. Huang Qun is much thinner than when they met last year, but he is becoming more and more capable. After shaking his hand enthusiastically and sitting down, Xiao Ran smiled and teased: "Lao Huang, you look a lot thinner!" ”

"Can you not be skinny? For the sake of returning students, the communication with the film studio, and the problems of the film are about to break their legs! Huang Qun smiled bitterly, in front of Xiao Ran, he could still express some of his true emotions.

Xiao Ran smiled leisurely, he already knew about such a situation. After the incident of returning students last year, there was an extremely funny thing, a film studio actually refused to return students, on the grounds that the returning students were indulged in Hong Kong and were not easy to manage in the factory.

Among those who were rejected was Wei Changqing, a young director who is quite famous both in Hong Kong and internationally, and Xiao Ran was dumbfounded when he received the news. I don't want a filmmaker like Wei Changqing, what can I say besides bureaucracy? What else can you expect from mainland movies?
