Chapter 45: Hit it off
Xiao Ran rubbed his nose, thinking that Fang Ruohai would misunderstand that he just wanted to be a director, it seemed that he would have to hint at this more in the future. However, this obviously does not fit his thinking, he wants to be his own boss, not work for others.
Lin Qingxia quietly admired the negotiation between the two on the side, Fang Ruohai's skin was very fair, and his appearance was handsome enough to attract many girls. However, this is obviously not the type that Lin Qingxia likes, since the two vigorous loves, she knows that she will not like this handsome and handsome man anymore.
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he is a different type of person. With slightly dark skin and a rather strong physique, a very surname and a very manly appearance, plus a few wisps of smile that always stay in the corners of the eyes, this is undoubtedly another type that attracts female surnames. Thinking of this, Lin Qingxia faintly felt a wonderful feeling.
Of course, neither Fang Ruohai nor Xiao Ran knew what Lin Qingxia said about them, Lin Qingxia saw that they were chatting very happily, her eyes stayed on Xiao Ran's face for a moment, and she quickly moved away as if she was a thief. Only then did he interject and persuade Xiao Ran: "Ah Ran, in fact, Ah Hai's conditions are very good, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and many big directors can only get so much!" ”
The 10,000 yuan that Lin Qingxia was referring to was the price that Fang Ruohai gave to Xiao Ran, and this price was indeed very remarkable. You must know that when Xu Ke invited Xiao Ran to join the film studio a year ago, he only planned to pay two or three thousand. Of course, the monthly salary is the price of supporting these talents, and the screenwriting fee is calculated separately.
As for each script written, Fang Ruohai's price is 100,000, not including dividends. Strictly speaking, this year is to be a director, and the salary is only more than 100,000 or 200,000, and only a few big directors are worth 300,000. Therefore, anyone who changes this price will be tempted, which also shows how much Fang Ruohai values Xiao Ran.
If Xiao Ran just wants to be a good director and screenwriter, then he must have agreed, money, who is willing to let go without harming the interests of others. You must know that this thing is the first evil in the world, but it is also the first driving force.
However, Xiao Ran still didn't agree, he wasn't stupid. He stayed and planned to make his own scripts, such as "Infernal Affairs" and the like, which is not a work that can sell well. Just kidding, just one "True Colors of Heroes" has earned at least 50 million or more for Xinyicheng and film studios, and if it is another three years, the number will only be more than less.
"Sister Lin, you don't know, it's better to be a freelance screenwriter than to be restricted, I like the feeling of freedom." Xiao Ran smiled at Lin Qingxia, then at Fang Ruohai, rubbed his nose and continued: "You know that this feeling is really great, and I don't think I'm short of money now, so I have to be very sorry to refuse Ah Hai's proposal!" ”
Just when Fang Ruohai was deeply regretful, Xiao Ran's heart moved, and he thought of a very important thing. Why not use Fang Ruohai's funds to start a business? yes, why not?
Xiao Ran had never thought of this, he originally planned to have a relationship with Yindula. In fact, it is not difficult to have a relationship with Yindula, in this era when Hong Kong people have begun to panic about Jiuqi, Xiao Ran only needs to make a film that is conducive to stability. Or make a film that shows favor to [***], and when the time comes, you may not need Xiao Ran to take the initiative to find it, and Yindu will automatically send it to the door.
And Xiao Ran's idea has always been to borrow Yindu, a fat golden rooster, to lay eggs for himself, once the opportunity and funds are available, then he can break away from Yindu and go it alone. If not, I am afraid that the accumulation of this original capital will take many years.
Now that Fang Ruohai has sent it to the door, this makes Xiao Ran think of it. In fact, he still knows very well that in this era, it is better not to get too close to Yindu, after all, the events of 1989 have scared Hong Kong people for a long time, and he is afraid that his good image will be ruined when the time comes.
Still, he was a little hesitant. There is no film company invested by Fang Ruohai in history, presumably the original history is that after Fang Ruohai invested in the person of his dreams, because he did not meet a suitable person like Xiao Ran, the result was only investment, not the establishment of a company.
Of course, history has changed, and Xiao Ran can still grasp this key. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, and finally made the decision to cooperate, he smiled and beckoned to the waiter to bring a glass of water, and then the other party Ruohai said: "Ah Hai, I have a good proposal, you might as well consider it!" ”
Just when Fang Ruohai and Lin Qingxia were wondering what tricks Xiao Ran would do, Xiao Ran smiled even brighter, took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "Since you want to invest in making movies, then I'm very curious, who do you plan to invest in?" ”
Fang Ruohai was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Xiao Ran to say this. In fact, Fang Ruohai's target is famous directors such as Wu Yusen and Xu Anhua, who have just emerged recently, but he obviously heard Xiao Ran's meaning and smiled slightly: "I was originally worrying about the selection of people, but now I don't think I need it!" ”
This time it was Xiao Ran's turn to be surprised, he didn't expect Fang Ruohai to be able to guess his intentions in his short sentence. Of course, he was just stunned for a moment, and he quickly smiled: "Do you think I can do it?" It's not easy! ”
"If you think you can do it, then I think you can!" Fang Ruohai refused to give in at all, and was stunned to confront Xiao Ran in his words, as if he was playing meditation.
"It makes sense, and faith has everything!" Xiao Ran was deliberately amazed, and then smiled: "How much money are you going to invest?" This is important! ”
Fang Ruohai is certainly not an idiot, and the Harvard diploma is obviously a proof. Therefore, he obviously had no reason to believe that Xiao Ran could make money for himself. However, don't forget that Xiao Ran's performance in front of Fang Ruohai is definitely good, at least in this regard, Fang Ruohai admires Xiao Ran.
Besides, it is only a negotiation now, and it has not yet been determined whether it will really cooperate with Xiao Ran. It is indeed a collaboration, and this combination can only be a collaboration. Fang Ruohai had countless thoughts in his mind, and he remembered his father's explanation before he left the United States.
At that time, Fang Poli said earnestly: "Ah Hai, your eldest brother is stable enough, I believe that he is here to defend the business." And you are very cautious in what you do, but you also like to take risks and challenges, so I asked you to go back to Asia to invest. Believe me, in the future, Asia, especially China, is the real investment hotspot, so it's up to you to do that. ”
So, Fang Ruohai was driven out by his old man in this way, it is said that the old man of his family did this not only to play the role that the two sons should play, but also to be afraid that the two sons would fight for the family property. If Xiao Ran knew this, he was afraid that he would admire it to death.
After thinking about it, Fang Ruohai remembered the word adventure that the old man said, and immediately felt hot all over. He naturally knows the truth that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, and he is now starting a business, and starting a business must have momentum, so a young person like him is undoubtedly very qualified.
Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision, that is, Xiao Ran, there is no need to make more choices. This is a risk for him, betting on whether Xiao Ran can become a very discerning producer. Succeed, he will be able to intervene in the film industry. If he fails, then he will lose nothing more than a little money.
After pondering for a moment, he answered Xiao Ran's question: "I think, if you want to do it, you must not be small, at least five million...... USD. I don't know much about this, so why don't you think about it for me and submit an investment statement to me. ”
Xiao Ran nodded, his mind kept thinking, but his hand tapped lightly on the table. Five million dollars must be enough, but according to Xiao Ran's own corporate structure, five million is far from enough.
After thinking about it, he didn't have a hippie smile, but said very calmly: "It's inevitable to be big, and I think this momentum needs to be as loud as possible." You know, Shaw is almost discontinued now, and it's going to be officially announced soon. I think opening a business in such an environment must be a very unusual thing, and it will definitely be popular. ”
"...... you?" Lin Qingxia gradually understood, and her face was full of surprise and showed it without concealing it. Her wonderful gaze fell on Xiao Ran, and her eyes showed a look of worry: "Ah Ran, this thing is not easy, don't be impulsive!" ”
Xiao Ran smiled lightly at Lin Qingxia: "Sister Lin, don't worry, I already have an idea about this matter, and it will definitely not be as bad as you imagined." ”
After continuing to talk, Xiao Ran and Fang Ruohai finalized the general details of the cooperation and negotiated the benefit distribution plan. Fang Ruohai contributed funds, of course, he took the lion's share. Xiao Ran worked hard, and he also had thirty percent of his income. Xiao Ran was not very satisfied with this, in his opinion, this was simply working for Fang Ruohai in vain.
However, he also had no opinion, since it was Fang Ruohai who paid for it, he already got a lot. Lei Kaitai invested in the establishment of New Art City, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian could only divide 15% equally, and the rest was divided between Mecca and Lei Kaitai.
In these figures, even fools can see that the distribution of benefits is very unfair, which is precisely the fatal reason for the collapse of Xinyi City. Xiao Ran would never make this mistake, Fang Ruohai promised him that there was only one collaborator in the film company that he would start in the future, and Xiao Ran would have the final say. Others must not go past Xiao Ran to talk to Fang Ruohai about anything about the company, and this will be written in the contract in the future.
To put it simply, Xiao Ran and Fang Ruohai's cooperation method is like Xu Ke's film studio, Xu Ke is directly responsible for Lei Kaitai, and has a direct dialogue with Lei Kaitai. Xiao Ran is the same, directly sharing interests with Fang Ruohai.
This is obviously a happy situation, but our perfect female surname Lin Qingxia doesn't like it very much. Although she and Fang Ruohai didn't have much contact, the woman's intuition made her only maintain an ordinary friend relationship with Fang Ruohai. And her intuition told her that Fang Ruohai may not be as simple as she imagined.
Of course, Lin Qingxia may be too worried about Xiao Ran's younger brother (Xiao Han is Lin's godsister, so Xiao Ran can be regarded as a godbrother), so she didn't see Xiao Ran's ability. Xiao Ran didn't know what Fang Ruohai could think, but he definitely had an idea himself.
Once everything is negotiated, all that's left is to open the champagne and celebrate. It's a pity that Xiao Ran doesn't drink, and the result is to replace wine with water to wish a happy cooperation. Of course, before setting up a film company, Fang Ruohai must have a legal company. Although Hong Kong allows individuals to invest in films, there are companies that have always made it much easier.
The next thing was simple, Xiao Ran sent Lin Qingxia home, and on the way Lin Qingxia expressed her worries. Xiao Ran just smiled slightly, comforting this suffocating Sister Lin.
