Chapter 269: Rehearsal Divestment

readx;

When Wei Changqing was asked to direct "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Xiao Ran, as the producer, discovered this serious problem and urgently mobilized Chen Musheng to cooperate with him in directing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info otherwise where would that film get a good box office......

Since China Film found Wei Changqing to direct an action movie, it was definitely a fatal mistake, and Xiao Ran could even imagine that China Film lost a mess in the summer vacation war. However, what Xiao Ran despises the most is not this, but because since China Film is wrong enough to let a director who is only good at literary and artistic themes direct action movies, this thinking is too outrageous.

If it was done by the Phantom Planning Department, it would be absolutely impossible to commit such a mess. What kind of director is good at what kind of film, every planner can know it in his heart. Of course, the director of literary films is not unable to shoot commercial films such as action themes, but it is necessary to plan to observe and select, for example, a director's lens has a strong sense of power and sharpness, then the qualification is a little greater, because action movies also need a sharp sense of lens.

If it is like Wang Jiawei's style, let him direct a police film, it will be really a miserable death. Of course, more often than not, Phantom uses executive production guidance to allow unfamiliar directors to try their own transformation.

Moreover, there is another way - co-directing. For example, Wei Changqing and Chen Musheng co-directed "This Killer is Not Too Cold", and Liu Mei and Liang Jun co-directed "Jurassic Park" the same. This kind of cooperation requires the two sides to be able to complement each other, for example, one of the reasons for the success of "Infernal Affairs" is the complementarity and balance between Mak Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang in the overall situation and details.

At the moment, this approach is very popular, because talented directors are always in the minority. Therefore, those who are superior in some aspects will generally choose to cooperate with others to complement each other. At present, in the film industry, there are at least four fixed pairs of co-directors. To a large extent, it can make up for the regret of the lack of talent of ordinary directors, and also have the opportunity to create classics.

It's no wonder that Xiao Ran despises Zhongying's planning ability, however, Xiao Ran didn't show this emotion, but said with a smile: "This is very good, it seems that your position is above the doer!" ”

"What a doer!" Huang Qun suddenly realized that he shouldn't complain in front of Xiao Ran, and immediately restrained his bitterness, and said in a deep voice: "This time I went south, I came here in a private capacity, mainly because there are some things above that I want to ask clearly in person!" ”

Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders, if he couldn't guess Huang Qun's intention now, it would be extremely damned. Sure enough, Huang Qun's expression was very serious, staring at Xiao Ran's eyes: "The Queen's life is coming, your name is in the list of knights this time, how can you explain this!" ”

Xiao Ran stared back and said word by word: "Then what do you think I mean?" Last year, what choice do you think I have with the Hong Kong film industry? ”

"Let's talk about it specifically......" Huang Qun sighed, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to overpower Xiao Ran in terms of momentum, Xiao Ran was rolled out of the shopping mall of life and death, where did he care about such pressure.

"It's very simple, you can choose to kick out of the Hong Kong film industry, then I can also choose to transfer my career." Xiao Ran smiled indifferently, he suddenly figured it out, some things might as well be clear while no one was shaking it out now: "I think the British political axe must welcome me very much, and will definitely not jam me in the censorship!" ”

Huang Qun smiled coldly and stared at Xiao Ran: "I'm afraid you don't want to transfer to the UK, but to the United States!" Didn't you buy Universal last year in preparation for that? At the beginning, I thought that you were doing this to add glory to Chinese movies, so I didn't say anything. ”

Xiao Ran was stunned, he thought that the political axe had already seen through him and wanted to exert pressure by acquiring Universal, but now judging from Huang Qun's meaning, it seems that the top did not see through this. In this way, it is wonderful, Xiao Ran can't help but be happy in his heart, which may bring him a lot of advantages.

Trying to suppress his smile, Xiao Ran stood up, went to the wine cabinet and took a bottle of wine and a wine glass and handed it to Huang Qun, while he took a cup and poured some water. After taking a sip and letting the cool feeling spread throughout his body, he said coldly: "Then do you think I should stay in Hong Kong and wait for death?" I am Chinese, but I am also a businessman, there is no long-term interest, what do you take for me to stay! ”

"Good wine! Where is it? Huang Qun took a sip of wine, couldn't help but praise it, and continued to say calmly: "As I said above, it's not that you want to deliberately embarrass the Hong Kong film industry, but the demands you put forward involve the bottom line, and it's hard for us to agree." Moreover, we did not veto it immediately, but simply postponed this for a little while! ”

"That's the wine from the winery that Qingxia bought in France, it's not bad!" Xiao Ran smiled softly, then pondered for a moment, put down the cup, and tapped his fingers on the table: "If we want to completely enter the mainland market, censorship and opening up must be needed, otherwise it will only play Hong Kong films to death." And last year you were going to go it alone, and if you failed, you would have to turn around and come to us. What if it succeeds? I'm afraid I'm throwing Hong Kong films out of the clouds. ”

"This ......" Huang Qun was slightly embarrassed, the plan above is indeed so, that is, it is to return, and Hong Kong films are not controlled by the central political axe, it is better to support the industry under their control. But he soon had a word, and looked at Xiao Ran with a solemn expression, almost emitting a divine light: "Then you shouldn't try to transfer your career to the United States, you are now the richest man in China, do you know what kind of bad effects this will have?" ”

It's time to soften down! Xiao Ran thought about it for a moment and quickly grasped the opportunity. On the surface, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said in a slow and sincere tone: "I will not choose such a method unless it is the most dangerous situation, after all, this is the place I am familiar with." However, if you want to support the film industry, you have to pay a price, and no one can get anything without paying a price! ”

Huang Qun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and when he learned that Xiao Ran was about to become the queen's knighthood, he was immediately stunned. quickly took into account that Xiao Ran wanted to transfer his career, and perhaps he also wanted the central government to exert pressure.

If Xiao Ran transfers his career, what will be the consequences? That's where the timing comes in. If the film industry is transferred when everyone in Hong Kong knows that censorship is not open, it will inevitably have a chain reaction. This is completely conceivable, as the richest man in China, Phantom is also the most valuable company in Hong Kong, Xiao Ran's every move will have an extremely significant impact.

The simplest evidence of this is that when Siu Ran and Li Ka-shing discussed the Tak Fung and Hutchison deals, the shares of both companies rose, especially the latter. When Xiao Ran became chairman of Hutchison's board of directors, Hutchison's shares almost doubled in price.

For example, the Phantom now always gets warm invitations from other countries for every film it makes, and it also gives quite a lot of preferential policies for the surname, which saves part of the Phantom's huge production costs. Because Phantom films always attract a considerable number of Asian tourists, it is definitely a great benefit to the economy.

"And, Lao Huang, you also know that other countries are very encouraging us to go to the local area to film, and they have also given quite good preferential policies. The mainland has not given any preferential policies to Hong Kong films, but we still use the mainland as the main filming location, and the tourism boom driven by the past few years may be indispensable to the credit of Phantom! Xiao Ran didn't mock this time, but said very sincerely.

Huang Qun was speechless again, what Xiao Ran said was absolutely true, and some countries even offered a fairly high return ratio. It means that how much money the crew from Hong Kong has spent in this country can be returned according to the preferential ratio when they leave.

And what did the mainland give to the Hong Kong film industry? Except for the benefits that are already available in the joint venture, there are no discounts at all in production. It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Ran is already very benevolent and righteous, if he is not Chinese and needs to enter the Chinese market, he does not need to pay attention to so much.

"You know, some things always take time!" Huang Qun had to convince Xiao Ran, he originally wanted to persuade Xiao Ran, but he didn't expect to be persuaded by Xiao Ran: "Now that the country is in its infancy, it is inevitable that some things are not good enough, or even wrong." However, it will take time to improve. ”

Xiao Ran sighed heavily, leaned back on the sofa and said, "If I didn't know this, where would there be so much patience to wait." As you all know, business is time, time is money, and it is not easy to keep such a large business group running. ”

Seeing that Huang Qun still wanted to say something, Xiao Ran snickered and waved his arm vigorously, suddenly leaned forward and said quietly: "If you want to go it alone, then I'll give you this opportunity." However, after the summer vacation, I hope to be able to get your answers as soon as possible, otherwise ......"

Huang Qun knew that there was nothing more to say, and he thought that the only thing he could do was to report it all. I saw him stand up, hesitate for a moment, and then tell Xiao Ran: "Actually, we are already considering launching a grading system, if there is no accident, it shouldn't take too long to launch it." However, in terms of censorship, there is no way to open up to the point where you ask for it for the time being! ”

Xiao Ran's body trembled slightly, he finally won this victory, if it wasn't for Huang Qun here, he couldn't wait to scream immediately to vent the happiness in his heart. A hard-won victory, with the mainland market, Hong Kong films have their own backing.

As long as the market matures and the complete business system matures, then just like Hollywood, even if the current four giants of Hong Kong collapse, then nothing will be fatally affected. And all this is what he has been pursuing, only in this way can a solid market, a solid film market.

On the surface, Xiao Ran was still calm as usual, but he suddenly thought of something and quickly mentioned it: "Lao Huang, foreign language blockbusters have been introduced, but don't forget to introduce a national film protection policy like France." Just take a look at the global influence of Hong Kong films, and you can probably understand a thing or two. ”

Walking to the door and opening the door, the doubts that Huang Qun had always hidden in his heart finally swelled, which made him uncontrollable and turned his head and asked, "Xiao Ran, do you really think you can have a place in Hollywood?" ”

"Why not, isn't Universal a proof?" Xiao Ran smiled slightly, and a mysterious and confident smile emerged: "What I want is not just a place, but the rules of Hollywood." You can see that the rules of Hollywood in the future will be set by me! ”

In the afternoon, Xiao Ran invited Huang Qun and Wei Dongling to his home for dinner, and despite the daytime arguments, the atmosphere was still quite harmonious. During the meal, the two children kept running around the garden, and finally it was the grandmother who helped them feed them.

Before going to the test screening of "True Colors" after dinner, the three of them came to the garden to watch the children together, while Li Jiaxin happily touched his stomach and asked Lin Qingxia for experience. Now Wei Dongling is also full of happiness, he will soon be a father, isn't this something to be happy about?

Xiao Ran glanced back at Li Jiaxin, who was smiling brightly, and deliberately sighed: "Poor, pathetic, hateful, the most beautiful Hong Kong sister actually had to maintain a rather bad body shape after being pregnant so quickly!" ”

"If you are missing, Qingxia can maintain her body shape through various means, isn't Jiaxin good?" Wei Dongling glared at Xiao Ran fiercely, Lin Qingxia always had to lose weight and exercise to maintain the same figure as before after giving birth, could it be that he Wei Dongling didn't have the money to do this for his wife?

Xiao Ran smiled, these things are really something that only rich people can afford to play. Lin Qingxia alone spent at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to recover her figure after giving birth, where can ordinary people get such a sum of money.

However, Lin Qingxia is more or less a billionaire woman now, she gave the money to the World Fund a long time ago, and she has a lot of income in a few years. Moreover, many of the properties and stocks that Xiao Ran bought in various places are attributed to Lin Qingxia's personal name, and there is still a net worth of about one billion, and tens of millions are naturally a piece of cake.

A beautiful little girl was rolling on the grass in the garden with a slightly older boy, and when she saw Xiao Ran coming, she immediately rushed forward and shouted for her father. Xiao Ran somewhat understood the thoughts of the elders, because now he felt strange when he heard his son and daughter call him like this, as if he was really old.

Hugging the big and the small, Xiao Ran smiled and said: "Dad has something to do tonight, I don't have time to accompany you, are you okay with your grandparents!" ”

"There's something to do again!" Xiaoqing's voice is still very milky, which makes people feel very comfortable, and I saw this kid's eyes roll: "Not next time you ride a horse for me!" ”

Xiao Ran patted the broken grass on this little guy's body lovingly, helplessly thinking that he was a super-rich man, and he couldn't imagine that he would have to ride his son as a horse when he returned home, what a debt. But what else could he say, facing his son, of course, he could only smile and say, "No problem, go to your godfather!" ”

Wei Dongling is now Xiao Qing's godfather, in this regard, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia said very confidently: "Xiao Ling'er has several godfathers, and there is no more than you." Xiao Qing just didn't, and you won't be Xiao Ling'er's godfather in the future. Anyway, you are so good at business, you will teach him in the future. ”
