Chapter 193: Mandatory Conditions

Even Yang Qi couldn't help but look at Xiao Ran and stood up and asked, "Mr. Xiao, you can't do this, you know that our company's financial resources are not as good as Phantom." If the production cost is greatly increased in this way, it will definitely lead to a skyrocketing cost, and the profit margin will be much smaller at that time! ”

Zou Wenhuai looked at the audience with a sneer, he thought proudly that Xiao Ran was destroying the Great Wall, if he didn't put forward such a mandatory surname, the position of the dragon head would be the phantom. But now that this variable has appeared, he is very sure to replace Xiao Ran to control the Film Association.

What is He Guanchang thinking now? It's hard to imagine his mood, since he met Xiao Ran not long ago, he felt that Xiao Ran was not a person who was willing to lie dormant, and he was very ambitious. Sure enough, everything that followed confirmed his opinion.

However, Xiao Ran's rapid expansion since he founded the Phantom also shocked him, and at the same time, he was more admired and puzzled by Xiao Ran. admired because only Xiao Ran saw the benefits of direct control of the distribution right at the beginning, and admired Xiao Ran for being able to promote newcomers at any cost, according to his understanding, the Phantom invested at least 200 million in newcomer experiments last year.

The number of people who are willing to lose 200 million is absolutely minimal, even if Xiao Ran is worth tens of billions, but this is all money. He Guanchang knew that Xiao Ran really wanted to make movies, and his confusion came from Xiao Ran's various strategies and practices. The most typical is the computer department, when he heard the inside news, the phantom invested billions in the computer department, he was almost about to faint.

He Guanchang is not a fool, of course he knows very well that if these billions are used to invest in real estate, it may even become tens of billions after more than ten years. But Xiao Ran invested in the computer department, which made him very confused, but he thought that Xiao Ran must have his reasons for doing this, this was his intuition.

Among the four major companies, the most difficult to accept this request is Pandey. Due to the factors of the subject matter, Debao basically spent not much on the simple production cost, mainly to invite celebrities to spend more money, which is simply forcing Pan Desheng to harm his own interests.

However, the four major companies are better, and Golden Harvest will always be ahead of others if there is no Phantom in big productions. But Meiya and these smaller distribution companies can't bear it, the Phantom has made the market soar several times in the past two years, and the production cost has been seriously compressed, and now if such conditions are formulated, it will simply swallow their profits alive.

When it comes to profits, who wants to concede? It was still Li Xingguo who stood up suddenly, with an awe-inspiring expression: "Mr. Xiao, your proposal will definitely not work, after doing this, our profits will definitely be shared by the cost!" ”

Pan Desheng didn't make a sound, but stared at Xiao Ran, trying to find out what Xiao Ran was trying to do. Because he realized it at that moment, and quickly calculated the proportion of the actor's remuneration and the total production cost of "The Love of Ghosts". That's a whopping 1:8 ratio, which means that the production fee is basically spent on the production of the film.

In addition, his brain was spinning rapidly, what good would it do to Xiao Ran like this? In short, it will definitely not do you any good. In the short term, this is of course not good for them, even fools know that increased costs will inevitably reduce profits.

Xiao Ran This is also an adventure, he and Wei Dongling have talked about it beforehand, is there any need to bring it up now. Wei Dongling was easily persuaded by Xiao Ran to agree to this ratio, and even thought that it should be higher. The reason is very simple, because Wei Dongling saw the computer special effects of "Terminator 2", which had a budget of up to 30 million.

Thinking of these 30 million, Wei Dongling smiled bitterly. He thought that he really understood why Xiao Ran had to increase the production fee and personnel remuneration at the expense of profits, and why Xiao Ran gradually increased the investment figure, in order to let the market accept the advent of this new era of movies more soberly.

He even guessed that the so-called one-to-four was just a plan that Xiao Ran came up with for fear that everyone would not be able to accept it all of a sudden. However, in fact, the ratio of one to four is suitable for literary films and romance films, and it is definitely not suitable for themes such as action movies.

He still didn't know much about Xiao Ran's plans, and Xiao Ran tried to make the Phantom's maximum production fee exceed $100 million in three years. Although the advantages of Hollywood are not entirely big productions, this is definitely the biggest reason why it has become mainstream around the world.

Xiao Ran even considered that even if he was desperately losing billions of dollars every year, he would increase the production fee and fight with Hollywood to the end. This is his strategy of winning the market at a loss, and it is also one of the ways he thinks of dealing with Hollywood.

Anyway, the Phantom controls the stocks of companies such as Dell and Cisco, and if you want to talk about money, as long as Dell stock soars faster and faster in 92, he is not afraid at all, this is the biggest advantage of his choice of this strategy, I am afraid that he is the only one in this world who will do such a stupid thing.

Therefore, for Xiao Ran, time is running out. The production cost of Hong Kong-made films must soar in the short term, and the result of the high production cost is that it is well-made, and it is natural for well-made films to get to the market. He had to take the risk of making this mandatory request now, and even if the other companies didn't agree, then he would never give it a chance to get in his way and launch the Phantom Chariot to crush it.

The most important thing is that the mainland market needs such a batch of Hong Kong films to impact and lay a deep-rooted position for Hong Kong films, so that they can snipe Hollywood's advancement in the mainland. Xiao Ran's consideration of the overall strategy is quite thorough now, and all he needs is to make specific efforts.

Just when everyone was talking and making noise, Zou Wenhuai suddenly sneered, looking extremely slippery, and tried his best to mock: "I really don't know when the Phantom became a film and television department, and it interfered with the operation of major companies." Besides, even the film and television department would not dare to interfere with such actions! ”

Wei Dongling's heart suddenly contracted, and this dead old man was clearly provoking. Xiao Ran had a calm and comfortable look, as if he hadn't said anything just now, or he was already confident about the situation.

As soon as He Guanchang heard Zou Wenhuai's sneering, he knew that something was wrong, and it was too late to stop it. Especially when he saw Xiao Ran's appearance of Mount Tai pressing on the top and not moving, he felt even worse, he thought that Xiao Ran must be very sure to meet this requirement, but what is Xiao Ran's hole card?

Zou Wenhuai provoked him like this, Xiao Ran smiled slightly, but there was some hint of gloom in his smile, as if he didn't care about knocking on the table: "This is not a discussion, but a notice to you." ”

The audience suddenly calmed down, and everyone realized that they seemed to have ignored his other two identities because of Xiao Ran's kindness - the godfather of the underworld and the owner of the most influential film company in Southeast Asia!

At this moment, everyone thought of Haile's fiasco, which was a small and big victory. Xiao Ran's financial resources were far inferior to Haile at that time, and he still played Haile to a dismal end, and now if he wants to deal with them, Xiao Ran even needs only one hand to be enough.

Only Xiao Ran's habitual weird rhythm was left in the conference room, which seemed to be knocking on everyone's heart, making people can't help but break out in a cold sweat. Zou Wenhuai never expected that there would be only such a sentence, and everyone kept their mouths shut.

The heavy breathing was particularly harsh in the empty conference room, and the boss of one of the companies stood up suddenly, his thin appearance, but his temper was really not small, he glared at Xiao Ran and shouted: "Xiao Ran, don't think that the phantom is great if he is rich, you think that if you have money and background, you can control everyone, fuck you, Lao Tzu will never agree to this bullshit notice!" ”

The thin boss pushed the door and walked away with majestic steps, Xiao Ran sighed regretfully, in fact, he liked this kind of person with a surname. Unfortunately, in terms of the overall situation, he must use iron-fisted means to control the Hong Kong film industry in order to become his safe rear. So, he had to do something immoral.

"I should have said that I am not here to seek approval, but to inform you. If anyone doesn't enforce it, it's breaking my rules! Xiao Ran finally stopped the heartbeat of knocking on the table, looked around slowly and gently, and focused his gaze on Zou Wenhuai's face: "Breaking my rules is challenging me." If you want to challenge me, you have to be prepared to be driven out in advance! ”

Zou Wenhuai was furious, and Xiao Ran said this to make it clear that he was targeting him. was about to have a seizure, but was quietly stopped by He Guanchang, and stopped all his movements in shock. He Guanchang shook his head slightly at Zou Wenhuai, signaling to see what Xiao Ran said next, Zou Wenhuai realized that his Jiahe had reached this proportion many times, and he was afraid of what Xiao Ran would do.

As everyone knows, when he thinks like this, he is actually afraid of Xiao Ran. I don't know what means Guan Xin and Liang Kun used, at present, the Hong Kong underworld is being rectified obediently, although there is no evidence that Xiao Ran has anything to do with the underworld, but these two people are Xiao Ran's subordinates, this is for sure, so it is speculated that even fools guess that Xiao Ran is the real person who talks about the underworld.

If the underworld is still not on the table, then the phantom's financial resources can't help but be afraid of Zou Wenhuai. In just three years of entrepreneurship, he has become the eighty-sixth person on the world's richest list, and this financial strength is not something that Golden Harvest can resist.

Moreover, at present, because Golden Harvest does not cooperate with the market in terms of salary, a large number of artists and staff are very close to the Phantom. Although they are encouraged by the Phantom to take on other companies' films, fools know that they rely on the Phantom.

Talking about financial resources, power, and popularity, Jiahe can't be compared with the heyday three years ago. Since last year, the momentum has plummeted, let alone against the Phantom. Now of course, it is talking about the four major companies, but everyone knows that the Phantom is now a monopoly and has formed a semi-monopoly pattern.

Everyone was secretly frightened and regretted what they had just said. Unexpectedly, when he was regretting it, Wei Dongling couldn't stop laughing, and said to Xiao Ran with a side face: "Ah Ran, don't say it so terrifyingly. Don't get Ran wrong, his notice is for everyone's good! ”

This red-faced and white-faced drama is also too obvious! Zou Wenhuai thought disdainfully. Wei Dongling smiled lightly, he and Xiao Ran had never discussed any white faces and red faces, but when they saw this embarrassing atmosphere, they took the initiative to jump out and explain, and they also called Ah Ran to neutralize the atmosphere.

Li Xingguo didn't believe it, and felt that this play was sung too deliberately. But he still couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen to what Wei Dongling had to say. Wei Dongling nodded to Xiao Ran, stood up and walked around a few times, and relaxed his slightly numb legs before he smiled: "What do you think of the current salaries of actors and behind-the-scenes staff, let me know first!" ”

Li Xingguo leaned back in his chair and replied loudly: "Their remuneration is too high, which affects the profits of the film, and the production fee has to be suppressed!" ”

"That's right!" Wei Dongling snapped his fingers happily, walked to Li Xingguo's side, patted him on the shoulder and looked up and said to everyone: "The actors' remuneration is high because they are worth this price, do you think Fa Ge is worth the price of 4.5 million?" The answer is obvious. The behind-the-scenes staff is the key to the quality of the film, and they are paid enough to be able to devote themselves to the creation. ”

Li Xingqing couldn't help but nodded, he could understand these two aspects, everyone could understand it, Xiao Ran had already analyzed the stakes very clearly last time.

"Tell me, why did Shaw discontinue production?" Wei Dongling's performance was quite vivid, and he came to Pan Disheng's side and patted him on the shoulder and asked. This only made Xiao Ran smile bitterly, it turned out that he had been a villain for most of the day.

Pan Disheng suddenly wanted to know what kind of explanation Wei Dongling wanted to give them, and immediately replied without thinking about it: "The system is rigid, the creativity is low, the talent is lost, and the investment is ......."

I have to admire Xiao Ran, after acting in such a scene, I can still laugh in my heart and think about Shaw Brothers. Shaw Brothers doesn't mention the rest, and the loss of talent alone has been ridiculed by people in the industry for a long time. Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and the Xu brothers, it is no exaggeration to say that what supports Jiahe is the talent who has been looked down upon by the Shaw Brothers.

Pandey suddenly couldn't go on, because he found that he seemed to have gotten to the point. Wei Dongling had a relaxed smile on his face: "This is the key, the investment, when the major film companies have taken locations around the world, Shaw Brothers is still building sets in the studio in order to save costs......"
