Reeves is now very confused, and perhaps it is better to call it difficult. He talked to Daisy in detail, and generally learned that the strength of the Phantom Company is one of the best in Asia, and he also learned that Hong Kong produces more than 120 films every year. Of course, I also learned that the current highest salary in Hong Kong is only 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and he is an actor named Shenxian Fa.

Xiaoli originally thought that this money would not be able to do anything at all, but Daisy quickly dispelled his not-so-clever speculation: "In Hong Kong, four million is enough to buy a reading villa." Moreover, according to the meaning of Mr. Xiao's words, I guess he thinks that the current salary of actors is not high enough, and there must be a lot of room for improvement in the future! ”

Daisy was just guessing, but she was right. Xiao Ran is indeed not very satisfied with the current salary level, and according to Fa Ge's current popularity, it is absolutely appropriate to get a salary of 10 million. However, Xiao Ran knows very well that these things must be done step by step, otherwise the market will collapse, and the other three major companies will inevitably join forces to deal with the Phantom.

Xiaoli thought about it, and he found that he had been wandering in Hollywood for four years, but he still achieved nothing, and he was still desperately depressed. Instead of expecting those unattainable goals, it is better to go to Hong Kong to develop, anyway, according to Daisy, Xiao Ran still attaches great importance to their group of Westerners.

It's just that he still can't let go, in the final analysis, Hollywood is the mecca of global filmmakers. The Phantom is certainly famous in Southeast Asia, but it is still unknown internationally. The only thing that is a little famous is the scandal between Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, and the romantic marriage proposal.

"Don't hesitate, there's an opportunity in front of you. If you can grasp it, the future will be different! Daisy couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw that Xiaoli had been pondering for a long time and still hadn't agreed. At this time, Xiaoli had already decided to come down.

At the same time, Sunshine and the monkey were bored wandering the streets, and today Xiao Ran gave them a day off because they were going to see Lucas. So, they wandered around in a relaxed and pleasant way, and even had the leisure to go to a movie. In the cinema, they were surprised to find that the Phantom was much stronger in many places.

After walking around the movie theater for a while, the two were about to take the car back to the hotel when they suddenly heard a muffled hum from an alley. The two of them, who were very experienced, immediately hid their bodies vigilantly, only to realize that the sound was coming from the black alley, and there were some faint voices of talking.

Sunshine glanced at the monkey and asked if he wanted to go in and take a look. The two complement each other very well, with Sunshine being the decision-maker and Monkey providing advice. Of course, on small matters, the two of them generally have no arguments.

The monkey is very excited now, he has been by Xiao Ran's side for so long, he has almost nothing to do, he only feels that his body is about to rust. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he naturally wants to try it and find out how it feels. Nodding vigorously to the sun, the monkey beckoned in.

Sunshine was slightly stunned, their identities were not very convenient...... Thinking of this, he smiled. Their names have been crossed out from the roster for convenience. Now they are just Xiao Ran's bodyguards, and they don't have any special status. Don't talk about him, it's the same as Guan Xindu.

In this way, there is no identity problem, and it may not be known whether you can get a reward for righteousness and bravery. The two of them quietly entered the alley in the dark, and in the deep alley, three people surrounded a guy and beat him wildly.

The monkey and the sun admired it silently, and then one of them asked in English who was lying on the ground who was with him. The guy on the ground shook his head very righteously, but the pain on his face was inevitable.

Then there was some drama, and one of the three men pulled out a gun and wanted to shoot the victim. The monkey and the sunshine touched each other's hands slightly, and immediately they started to move at the same time. The monkey is agile, and the man with the gun is naturally dealt with by him.

I saw two Chinese men rushing out of the darkness, startling the four of them. The monkey jumped up, kicked the gun in the hand, kicked the gun into the air, and slashed the fellow's throat with a slap of the hand, and the fingers suddenly contracted to hook the major artery in his neck, and with a slight force, the guy fainted.

Over there, the sun is much more powerful, and it can be solved with one punch and one punch. The monkey walked up to the lying fellow and helped him up, and asked in English, "Are you alright?" ”

The guy was trapped in death, and under the emotion, coupled with the fact that he was seriously injured, he immediately remembered these two concerned faces in his mind only in the faint light, and fainted like this. Sunshine and the monkey were stunned, but this guy was dizzy. They called the police and went back to the hotel, but they didn't mention it.

Xiao Ran is talking to Reeves now, and it is really difficult for him to give any specific guarantees to Xiaoli. The only thing that can be determined is that he signed a three-film contract with Xiaoli, so that Xiao Ran can finally settle down.

However, he did not stop, and soon found Apple, and bought Pixar for six times the price that Lucas paid for that year, which is 60 million dollars. After winning Pixar, Xiao Ran's mood became even happier. With this animation studio, there is hope for Chinese-language cartoons.

After meeting the staff of this studio, Xiao Ran made a promise that he would never interfere in specific work matters. This is what makes this group of Pixar people settle down, and they are quite miserable to say, first abandoned by Lucas, and then abandoned by Apple, which is simply a burden.

When Xiao Ran was leisurely, Lucas was crazy, and now he was about to be forced to Liangshan, if the United States had Liangshan. After thinking about it, in order to avoid bankruptcy, he thought that the only way for him was to sell.

Now he knew one thing, if he sold Light Fienden and Skywalker, then he would definitely be able to make 500 million dollars. Otherwise, if it is taken back by the bank, then he may not get anything. Under the torment in his heart, he had no choice but to sell all the equity in his hand to Xiao Ran.

On the seventh day, Lucas finally came to the hotel where Xiao Ran stayed, and in the café, Xiao Ran took a leisurely sip of water, and then said with a smile: "George, since you are willing to come to me, I think you must have made a decision." ”

"Xiao, tell me, did you do it?" Lucas couldn't wait to bite off a piece of Xiao Ran's flesh and chew it hard: "I think, now only you want me to go bankrupt!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled lightly, kept his eyes on the clear water, and said lightly: "George, doing business always requires some means. I'm sure you're understandable, and I know you're coming to me, and now you're not at all lost, aren't you? ”

"500 million dollars, all sold to you! On my terms, though, you must stop attacking me! Lucas faced Xiao Ran, there was no pressure like last time, but the fear in his heart was only stronger than that day.

"Of course, of course it will stop!" Xiao Ran finally raised his gaze, and his sharp eyes met it: "It's just that it's not worth 500 million now." Have you forgotten the conditions I put on you that day, 100 million or 300 million or 500 million? You didn't make the choice in time, so now you don't get 500 million! ”

This devil! Lucas gritted his teeth in his stomach and cursed, about to say something. Under Xiao Ran's eyes, An Yuxuan smiled and took out a piece of information and said to Lucas: "Mr. Lucas, now your market value of Light Demon and Skywalker is only 330 million. The Phantom has already spent $60 million to get you to sell these two companies, so there's no way you're going to get 500 million or 300 million! ”

Lucas took the document and looked at it, and couldn't help but moan in pain. He swore in his heart that he would never do business with the Orientals, especially the Chinese, in the future, they were all devils, and they had found out his current details clearly and thoroughly.

This is Lin Yongqiang's ability, and now Lin Yongqiang and Ah Biao are in charge of the collection of business intelligence, which is completely beneficial to the World Fund. Of course, Xiao Ran definitely has more than a few sources of information in his hands.

After talking about it again, Lucas completely disarmed and surrendered, 300 million US dollars, and Skywalker and Light and Fiend will belong to the Phantom Group in the future. After getting such results, Xiao Ran returned to Hong Kong very satisfied, of course, in addition to this, he also gained Xiaoli.

And the most important thing for Xiao Ran on this trip is not to win these three companies, but that he has finally formulated a future development route for the Phantom, which is in a critical period. After returning to Hong Kong, Xiao Ran quickly had a thorough conversation with Wei Dongling.

"I think the company needs to change its strategic goals!" This was the first thing Xiao Ran said when he entered Wei Dongling's office, and his expression was quite solemn: "Hollywood is indeed very powerful, and it is difficult for us to compete with them in the short term!" ”

"Isn't it?" Wei Dongling raised his head in surprise, and immediately stood up and stared at Xiao Ran: "I changed my mind after only going to the United States once?" I think the previous strategy is good and doesn't need to be changed! ”

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head, he had previously ignored that the status of Hollywood movies in the world was quite deep-rooted, and it was definitely not something that could be defeated overnight. The two sat down on the sofa, and Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh: "The West completely ignores the existence of Chinese-language films, which is certainly not conducive to our attack, but it gives us sufficient time to prepare!" ”

Is there really enough time? Xiao Ran didn't know, he knew one thing very well. 1991 was the year when computer special effects began to take off in earnest, and Hollywood began to take off in earnest, relying on the popularity accumulated over the past few decades.

There are only one to two years left, and various reasons make it difficult for Chinese films to quickly penetrate the North American market. Therefore, the company's overall development strategy must change, and the U.S. market remains unchanged.

"In three years, we shouldn't go head-to-head with Hollywood in North America." Three years, with three years, it should be enough to transfer the talents of Pixar, Skywalker and Light and Magic to Hong Kong. He stared at Wei Dongling, and in a sonorous tone, he even waved his hand to strengthen his tone.

"In these three years, what we want to do is to dominate the Asian market and occupy the European market." Speaking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside, and felt that it was very similar to his current decision: "As long as we can win these markets and squeeze out the Hollywood market, it will not be too late to concentrate on the North American market when the time comes!" ”

Wei Dongling was silent for a long time, he really didn't understand why Xiao Ran was so afraid of Hollywood, although he knew very well that the current Phantom industry was too fragmented, so it was necessary to consolidate the market. However, he believes that there is absolutely no need to be so afraid of Hollywood, and in terms of technology, the Phantom is definitely not inferior to Hollywood.

In Wei Dongling's eyes, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he didn't understand. Computer special effects, this damn thing, "Jurassic Park" was a milestone in special effects, and when it was released in Hong Kong, it completely broke the situation that Western films had no market in Hong Kong, and won more than 60 million box office, breaking all historical records. More than ten years later, even "Kung Fu" failed to break the record of this film. Not to mention that there is an insurmountable peak on the top of this film - "Titanic".

To give Xiao Ran computer special effects, he can also invest 100 million US dollars, or even invest 1 billion US dollars to make a film, he is willing. After the 90s, it is not an exaggeration to say that those who can achieve computer special effects can win the world. The vast majority of the top 25 all-time box office in the United States are directly related to computer special effects.

"Do you think the action scenes in Spy are exciting?" Xiao Ran was distressed, but he only planned to knock on the side to knock this CEO. If even Wei Dongling can't understand it, then I'm afraid there will be a mistake when executing, Xiao Ran doesn't like to fail, although he knows that it is inevitable.

"It was a great fight, a great fight, especially the explosion at the end!" Wei Dongling didn't quite understand what Xiao Ran wanted to do, but he still gestured to describe how wonderful this film was.

"Very well, let me tell you, the action and explosions in this film are nothing!" Xiao Ran stood up and looked down at Wei Dongling, and said in a step-by-step tone: "What do you think if a film blows up a building with dozens of floors?" What would you think if someone filmed a volcanic eruption or a meteorite falling? If it all turned out to be completely real, what do you think? ”

Wei Dongling was stunned, he didn't believe that someone could make such an effect, but he thought that no matter how good a movie was, there must be flaws, and it was definitely not something that could be done in the short term. He immediately shook his head and said, "It's impossible for such a scene to happen!" ”

"I mean, if it exists, do you think it's going to appeal to the audience?" Xiao Ran's expression now is as if he is dealing with a shopping mall opponent, aggressive: "Tell me, if it really exists, will you be hooked!" ”

At this moment, a person stumbled in despite Secretary Wei Dongling's obstruction, and after looking around and seeing Xiao Ran, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Mr. Xiao, we have succeeded!" ”
