Chapter 166: Overwhelming the East
"Inform the whole bank that no one will be allowed to be interviewed by Oriental Press in the future!" Xiao Ran's cold face suddenly revealed a completely unmatched smile, which made Wei Dongling creepy: "Find Fang Xiaoqiang again, and if you are not damaged, you will go all out to suppress the stocks of Oriental Newspaper!" ”
Wei Dongling breathed a sigh of relief, he also thought that Xiao Ran was going to deal with the Oriental Press with all his might, in that case it would definitely be a stupid decision. Judging from Xiao Ran's last sentence, Xiao Ran definitely did not lose his mind.
After Wei Dongling left, Xiao Ran brought Liang Kun over, staring at Liang Kun who was at a loss, Xiao Ran smiled, and smiled very indifferently: "What do you think of the Oriental News?" ”
Liang Kun suddenly had a feeling of confusion, Xiao Ran couldn't have come to him specifically to ask this question. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Xiao Ran's absolutely unsightly face and said, "They did too much!" ”
"You're right!" Xiao Ran specially strengthened the tone of this sentence, which startled Liang Kun. At this time, he smiled weirdly: "Don't do everything too much, otherwise there will be heavenly retribution, what do you think?" ”
Liang Kun was even more confused, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something while staring at Xiao Ran's strange look. When I thought about it carefully, I thought about what I was doing in the Phantom, and it suddenly dawned on me. It turned out that Xiao Ran wanted to repay Dongfang with the power of the underworld, but he didn't understand why Xiao Ran wanted to say it so secretively.
Just kidding, if you don't say it cryptically, do you still want to say in front of the whole world: I want to take revenge on the Oriental Press with the power of the underworld? Liang Kun is stupid, but Xiao Ran is definitely not stupid, of course he knows very well that some words must not be said too clearly, otherwise he will leave a handle.
He always told himself that he was a legitimate businessman. Therefore, some things that should not be known, Xiao Ran always does it very secretively. He knew that there was no such thing as an impermeable wall, so he deliberately made a wall that was so safe that people could not see him, even if it was ventilated.
He has never wanted to have anything to do with the underworld, but now it seems that sometimes this power has to be used, otherwise everyone will dare to step on his head in the future. He thought it was necessary to teach Dongfang Bao a lesson, so that they could understand that the tiger's tail was really untouchable.
However, because this matter is currently being speculated, if you find it like this, even fools will know that it was instructed by Xiao Ran. Therefore, Xiao Ran knew that he had to think of a good way, a good way that could make people completely unreminiscent of himself.
According to the information of the editor-in-chief of the Oriental Daily, he is relatively adventurous, and he also likes to gamble, and he goes to Macao once a week on average. However, these seem to be of little use to Xiao Ran, and he needs a reason and excuse for the underworld to take revenge on this editor-in-chief.
Thinking about it, Xiao Ran smiled faintly, he remembered that there was a small company when Ghost Wang Dong was still there, and that company was Liansheng, and the 10 million dark flowers at that time were given to Ghost Wang Dong through this company.
There are quite a few small companies like this. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran vaguely thought of a reason that might be true. What if a company is rumored to be laundering money? The Oriental News will definitely keep an eye on this news, and I believe it will definitely chase after it. If it is cleverly designed and only let the Oriental News get the news, it will definitely be used as an exclusive.
In this way, the conditions for the criminal underworld are met. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile, this has two benefits, it goes without saying that it is needless to teach Dongfang the newspaper, as for how to make them vaguely guess that it was their own mastermind, there is always a way. The second is to be able to temporarily divert the media's focus on Xiao Lin's love, which kills two birds with one stone.
The next day, in the office of Dongfang Bao Newspaper, a reporter hurriedly rushed into the editor-in-chief's office and excitedly shouted: "Boss, the informant told me that Ganlin Company suspects that someone is laundering money. Do you want to chase this news? ”
"Ganlin Company? Haven't heard of it! The editor-in-chief nodded absently, his current energy is mainly focused on Xiao Lin's love, this is the big news he planned: "You go for it!" ”
From spending 500,000 yuan on the real estate agent to buy those photos, to preparing and planning, he spent a lot of energy. And in the past week, the Oriental Newspaper has been sold out early in the morning every day, which is definitely a rare miracle. And these are all planned by him personally, how does he not get excited.
When this news was reported, the reporter was arrested that day, and after some torture, it was determined that the editor-in-chief nodded in agreement (nonsense, the editor-in-chief did not agree with him doing this news). On the same day, the editor-in-chief was beaten up on the way home, and the other party also threatened: "You don't need to decide whether to launder money or not!" ”
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the newspaper of the Oriental Newspaper came out of the printing house, it was burned to the ground by the gangsters with gasoline. When the police arrived, they were helpless against the raging fire.
On the third day, the story of the attack on the Oriental newspaper by the gang was published by other newspapers, and it is difficult to say whether the other newspapers were sad or gloating. In short, this news was very surprising for a while, and some readers remembered the vicious speculation of Xiao Lin's love in the Oriental News two days ago, and couldn't help but scold: "You deserve it!" ”
In the early morning of the fourth day, as soon as the sample of the Oriental Newspaper was delivered to the printing house, a group of big men immediately rushed in, beat and smashed, and almost set fire to it. This time the matter was a big one, and even Liansheng's lynx was invited to sit at the police station.
However, no one doubted Xiao Ran, this was true, and even the editor-in-chief who was beaten did not suspect that Xiao Ran was the instigator. Of course, for Xiao Ran, he felt that Liansheng did a very good job, except for the editor-in-chief and the relatively unlucky reporter, no one was injured, and the main loss was still in the Oriental Daily, which made him feel very comforted.
Subsequently, Shuxiang Media offered Oriental Press to buy Oriental Newspaper, but Oriental Newspaper certainly did not agree. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter, Shuxiang and Phantom have teamed up to suppress Oriental Press in the stock market. Now, fools know that Xiao Ran is very dissatisfied with this matter, and plans to give Dongfang a little color to see.
On this day, Xiao Ran was talking to Chen Kexin about the filming of "People and Ghosts". Don't forget, Xiao Ran is the art director, and he has to be responsible for the work. Within two minutes of talking, An Yuxuan answered the phone and came in to say that the CEO of Oriental Newspaper was calling. Xiao Ran smiled at Chen Kexin, picked up the phone and signaled to him, and then took it in.
"Mr. Xiao, let's make peace!" The boss of Oriental Newspaper obviously knew what Xiao Ran wanted, so he said very simply. He was very depressed, because the acquisition of Shuxiang could not be obtained, so he joined forces with Power Investment to suppress the stock market, but did not directly deal with Dongfang's funds.
Even fools know that it is not a way to go on like this sooner or later, after all, Xiao Ran has the money to play with him, but he doesn't have so much money to play such a game with Xiao Ran. Therefore, he knew very well that he had to make peace. Xiao Ran smiled faintly, this was already expected by him, what businessmen are asking for is money, and today, Dongfang has made enough money, and there is no need to continue playing.
"Who did the news? Who made the review? A smile appeared on Xiao Ran's face, he liked this feeling, he liked the feeling of others begging him for mercy: "You know what I mean! ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and he knew very well that this single news had almost mobilized the strength of the entire newspaper. Because every news person knows very well what kind of explosive news Xiao Lin's love is, if you really want to deal with those people, then the Oriental News will inevitably cause decay if it is re-blooded.
"Leave them a way to live, they can't be the master." The boss on the other side of the phone thought about it, and he could only make this decision: "As long as you say a word, I will immediately dispose of the person who is in charge, and I will be treated as a face!" ”
Newspapers and the entertainment industry have always taken the same path, and if they are opposed to each other, it is impossible for anyone who wants not to get their shoes wet. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran made his voice sound very sincere: "Mr. Chen, since you have said so, if I still don't agree, it will really not give you face." However, I would say that the media industry and the film industry are interactive, and we are profitable, and you can do the same, you know what I mean? ”
After talking, hung up the phone, Xiao Ran dialed Fang Xiaoqiang again and asked him to stop his work. Only then did he come over and sit in front of Chen Kexin with a smile and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, let's continue to talk about this film!" ”
"It's fine!" Of course, Chen Kexin will not have any complaints, but he admires Xiao Ran very much, they are all worth tens of billions, and they still love movies so much: "Mr. Xiao, just keep talking!" ”
Xiao Ran now seems to understand why he has always been called Mr. Xiao, perhaps because he has always been the company's art director, and now he is the creative director. Xiao Ran did not rely on memory this time, but recalled this creative version of "People and Ghosts".
The so-called creative version is that Xiao Ran only provides such an idea, and the specific script is completed by the Phantom screenwriting team. Of course, Xiao Ran's creativity is quite a lot, but he hasn't completely taken it out yet, but he needs to come step by step, otherwise others will really suspect that he is a monster.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart moved, and remembered why not add the creative column to the subtitles of the film? In fact, creativity is really very important, and the ones that are more impressive in Xiao Ran's impression are "Infernal Affairs" and "Big Event", the former's creativity is affirmed, and the latter's creativity of the policeman surrendering to the bandits on the street and triggering the plot is also very unique.
Creativity is not just a screenwriter's inspiration, but something that everyone can have. Xiao Ran has seen a lot of quite creative novels on the Internet in his dreams, and those authors are not screenwriters. If you add the creative role, it means being able to generate or attract more ideas, to put it mildly, it's called brainstorming.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and set his eyes on Chen Kexin: "Ah Xin, do you think the script creativity is important?" ”
"Script ideas?" Chen Kexin repeated it for some reason, and then he understood and replied: "It should be very important, just like Director Xiao's "God of Gamblers" and "Spy Change" you wrote are very good ideas!" ”
"A good director, a good actor and a good script can bring a film back to life, so why can't we strengthen the script and make sure it's safe?" Xiao Ran was not so much asking Chen Kexin as he was asking himself.
He feels that the position of creativity is definitely not impossible, it does not necessarily require creativity to understand the movie, nor does it necessarily need creativity to shoot with the crew, just need to hang a name on the subtitles. He thought this was necessary, called An Yuxuan in, and asked her to find someone to analyze the feasible surname.
Dealing with the things that suddenly came to mind in his whimsical head, Xiao Ran looked at Chen Kexin with a smile. In fact, the creative version (the plagiarized scripts will be called the creative version in the future) of "People and Ghosts" have been very different from the Hollywood version under the processing of the screenwriting team.
This makes the film much more interesting, and it also becomes very oriental, and I believe it can be a blockbuster in Southeast Asia. It's just that in terms of the overall direction of the film, Xiao Ran definitely doesn't want Chen Kexin to make a comedy farce, which is definitely a waste. The reason why I took a fancy to Chen Kexin was nothing more than to grasp Chen's grasp of emotional drama.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ran conceived a rough story in his mind, sketched out the roughly needed picture and atmosphere, and then said: "Don't make a farce in the film, just follow the script." As for the picture, don't be dark, be clear, and sad. You know that you are going to make a romantic romance film, the point is to be romantic, and it needs to be sensational, but don't be deliberate! ”
Chen Kexin obviously understood what Xiao Ran meant, nodded fiercely, and vowed to make this debut film well. Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, the hero and heroine of this film have not yet been decided, which is a rather bad thing.
Theoretically speaking, everyone is suitable for this film, but in Xiao Ran's understanding, this film is not so simple. In terms of the heroine, Lin Qingxia is a good choice, but the actor is a little embarrassed by Xiao Ran. Zhou Yan sent to act in this play, Xiao Ran was absolutely relieved, but the phantom should not only have Fa Ge.
At present, the actors who can match Lin Qingxia's age a little, except for Fa Ge, there is basically no such character in the phantom. After thinking about it for a while, he really hoped that Lin Qingxia would win the Academy Award once, gritted his teeth, and finally decided to let Fa Ge act.
Once the decision was made, it was a lot easier. Looking at the time, it was also time to visit Chen Baisheng. This is quite a remarkable person, who personally founded the "Film Fortnightly", and also founded Hong Kong's first professional film award, the Academy Awards, and is the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine and the chairman of the jury of the previous Academy Awards.
