However, having said that, Wei Dongling still adopted Xiao Ran's first method. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Jiaxin is currently filming in the UK, and as a result, this kid is very crazy to throw money, proposing marriage in all newspapers and magazines in the UK, including TV, and the news came to Asia for a while, which immediately stirred up waves, and everyone praised the Phantom These guys are crazy, and they all choose crazy means to propose.

Outcome? As a result, Li Jiaxin saw the picture of Wei Dongling kneeling on the ground with a ring on TV to propose, and was immediately dumbfounded, and then flipped through the Chinese newspaper, only then did he know that Wei Dongling had rushed to the UK. Of course, she rushed to the time in the media, a large number of reporters gathered, and Wei Dongling proposed to her in front of everyone, of course, and succeeded.

Afterwards, Xiao Ran fiercely criticized Wei Dongling's crazy behavior, and Wei Dongling shot back with a sly smile: "Don't forget, this is the method you taught me!" Xiao Ran was immediately speechless.

That was the next day, of course. Now Xiao Ran was still discussing with Wei Dongling how to deal with this move, Wei Dongling restrained his laughter and muttered: "Do you want to snipe them and make them unable to succeed, just like we did before!" ”

Lin Qingxia was suddenly taken aback, this Wei Dongling was really bold enough to dare to do this! Xiao Ran smiled faintly, and went against the political axe, it was self-defeating, if it wasn't for the Hong Kong British political axe for a long time, he might not dare to challenge Britain and Patten like that.

In fact, in the past, sniping at some guys who dared to challenge the Phantom was because those people only caused chaos. And the one in front of me is far from interfering with the operation of the Hong Kong film industry, so it is naturally unnecessary. He replied without hesitation: "No, and on the contrary, except for the actors, they want people from us to give people, and we give equipment to them." Let the facts show that without the Hong Kong film industry, mainland films would not be possible. ”

Since it can't be done, there will be only one way to give in, or simply give up the idea of making a movie. Lin Qingxia knew this very well, Wei Dongling sighed again, squinting at Xiao Ran: "I knew that you were very insidious, but I didn't expect it to be so insidious." But what if they do succeed? ”

Xiao Ran sneered, only feeling that he was holding Xiao Ling'er, his hand was somewhat numb, and he quietly handed it to Lin Qingxia, signaling to send the little guy to rest. Only then did he stand up and move the meridians and said, "Occasional success is possible, but if you want to succeed in the whole world, it is absolutely impossible. Even if all of them succeed, sooner or later they will fall into a cycle of evil surnames with a single theme! ”

Wei Dongling nodded, but saw Xiao Ran sitting on the edge of the pool, his feet kicking the water, and his fingers gently flicking his thighs: "I think we have to plan for the worst, let's ignore the mainland market and take a look." In this way, based on the current investment, the loss is not much. ”

"It's just that if we want to fight Hollywood, we have to keep up with the investment numbers. Therefore, when a salary of 10 million or 20 million is very common, at that time, coupled with overseas protection policies, it is very likely that there will be a phenomenon of five to seventy percent of the film's loss! Wei Dongling quickly picked up Xiao Ran's words, and then added: "Of course, this is based on the fact that the number of the film remains at this level!" ”

"Excluding low-cost reading films, the number of local films must be maintained at least 100 to meet the needs of the local and overseas markets, and the number of major productions must account for at least 2.5 percent!" Xiao Ran leisurely played in the water, feeling that he was now very much like an ancient literati: "The rest is small and medium-sized productions, but I am worried that medium-sized productions will not be pleasing at that time, resulting in gradual extinction." At that time, everyone invested in big productions and shrunk other productions, which increased the risk! ”

What Xiao Ran mentioned is actually the tragic situation of Hong Kong films in the 21st century, and Xiao Ran has a deep memory of that cold look. He knows very well that the film is a pyramid in terms of level and production budget, with the big production being the spire, the medium production again, and finally the reading production.

The so-called reading production is a very difficult word to define, and in Xiao Ran's eyes, reading production is a number of films that wander on the edge of the mainstream. Perhaps the work of the Big Four and some small production companies outside the metropolis should not be regarded as reading productions.

Reading films are very easy to win awards, and they usually have very intense themes, marginal and literary. Not every Reading Power production is a small production, although it is usually the case, for example, "The Lord of the Rings" is the work of Reading Power Productions, but who would dare to say that it is not a big production?

"First, keep the production of films in other languages, with the ability to distribute, we can make a profit on this, and use this to make up for other losses!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, it is common to make up for losses with profits. Don't think that Hollywood scenery, in fact, when the investment is getting bigger and bigger, and the salary is getting higher and higher, the loss will be bigger and bigger, and under normal circumstances, the profit is used to make up for other holes.

"As for the number two, I think it's time to start a Hollywood takeover!" Wei Dongling immediately picked up the conversation, looked at the starry sky from afar, and suddenly felt confused. He and Xiao Ran discussed it, and they both thought that they could buy a Hollywood production company this year, and they could naturally acquire a distribution company two years later.

However, from the current point of view, it is clear that the plan may not be very smooth. Neither he nor Xiao Ran was sure whether this move was good or bad. However, they are all sure that as long as they buy Hollywood, they will definitely be able to put some pressure on the mainland. If the Phantom were to move his film career to Hollywood, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"That's it, let's talk to Sony about this deal, they have lost nearly three billion dollars in Colombia so far!" Xiao Ran squinted his eyes and recalled, if memory serves, the two idiots who made Sony's acquisition the biggest loss of capital in the United States will be swept away at the end of the year, and it is still too late to make a move.

"Sony may not want to sell ......" Wei Dongling thought about it, and quickly gave Xiao Ran an answer: "Now that Sony is trying to build an electronic entertainment empire, it is unlikely that it will give up Colombia in its hands." ”

Xiao Ran snorted lightly, bent down slightly to touch the water, and then raised his head and stared at the night sky: "Then it depends on the ability of the negotiator, Father Sheng Tian is a very stubborn old guy, he has always thought that his strategy is right, as long as the negotiator can make him realize that it is a mistake to continue to keep Sony, then it is not a big problem." Move quickly, or before the end of the year, I'm afraid someone else will replace this old guy! ”

Wei Dongling quickly organized a picture in his mind, and even picked the right person for this negotiation. However, he thinks that instead of focusing solely on Colombia, he can also consider other companies: "Maybe Universal and Paramount are good targets, Panasonic hasn't made a word on them since it bought Universal in 1991, and if we ask, he's probably happy to sell to us." Paramount is in trouble, and Naviacom is also preparing to talk to them about the acquisition! ”

Global? The symbol of the world is the glowing earth, and the symbol of Paramount is the snow-capped mountains surrounded by five-pointed stars. Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then replied with a chuckle: "Yes, however, Paramount has little hope, and still focuses on Universal and Columbia, the former has a theme park business, which is exactly what we want to expand." ”

In the following days, some exchange students who happened to be free reported and returned to the mainland. It's just that more of them have settled in Hong Kong.

Wednesday, July 16, this day is the test screening of "Jurassic Park". Xiao Ran is determined to continue the advantage of the test screening, and in Hong Kong, no underworld will dare to steal the record, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

"Jurassic Park" is a powerful blow from Xiao Ran to mainland films, and he wants to announce with this film that without the Hong Kong film industry, mainland films will never be able to rely on their own strength to make this effect.

In fact, Xiao Ran has always been extremely disdainful of the media's claim that a certain film is to find a special effects company or special effects personnel who produce the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" to make this kind of remark, and those media people don't understand the truth that different prices have different effects. If you spend 30 million on infinite special effects, it's absolutely different from 10 million effects. And it's never just one, it's a whole team, a team that is absolutely so big that we can't even imagine it.

Before the official release of "Jurassic Park", there were still several commercials, including two technology commercials. followed by a trailer, in which the Hong Kong film industry paid more and more attention to Xiao Ran's advocacy.

Xiao Ran is not stupid enough to cut a few clips and shots in the film like CCTV, and that is the trailer. For trailers, he has always liked to be elaborate, made by the director himself, and edited by professional trailer personnel.

This trailer is a trailer for Tornado, and it's a trailer that's only thirty seconds long. The first thing that appears is a plain, where there are quite a few houses and people, with the caption "What is the most fearful thing at this time?" ”

The picture quickly switched, and it was still the picturesque plain of Fangcai, but I saw that there were no people, and all the houses seemed to have just been destroyed, and the picture of collapse and chaos was terrifying. What's even more interesting is that the wind faintly sounded in the theater, suggesting "Tornado". Again, the subtitle is typed: "That's the scariest thing!" Then the title was hit.

The film officially began, but there was no word on it about Liang Jun's work. In fact, this is an unwritten rule, under normal circumstances, the parties need to be conscious, if they have box office appeal, or are good at winning awards, they can type this paragraph. Of course, there are also thick-skinned people, but this kind of person is often looked down upon by insiders. This is naturally that the connoisseur is very angry, and the consequences are serious.

As a result, there are absolutely very few people who dare to put such a personal label like Xiao Ran. This is a symbol of identity and status, Xu Keke can play, Wu Yusen can also play, and Chen Kexin, who successfully directed "People and Ghosts" and "A Tale of Two Cities", can also play. There are only actors like Cheng Long who can ignore the director and put a personal label, and Fa Ge is now the number one male star in Asia, and he doesn't dare to make such a label. With Cheng Long's return to the Phantom, he also had to obey the system of director supremacy and cancel this label.

Cheng Long dares to play such a label, in fact, there is a big reason, and it is completely logical. As we all know, the power of popular actors in Hong Kong in history is even greater than that of directors, and Cheng Long himself is the most popular of the red, plus his personal style is so strong that it is irrepressible, and the director can't show his own style at all, so the statement that Cheng Long's works is absolutely reasonable.

As a director, Xiao Ran definitely doesn't like this kind of actor. The director's needs for actors are different with different films and themes, for example, "Lonely Men and Widows" is an entertainment film, Adu chose Liu Hua, and when filming personal style works such as "Gunfire" and "PTU", Adu will adjust the actors with the style of the film.

"Gunfire" is good to say, the actor's performance is as flamboyant as Wu Zhenyu's is the best, and this film depends on the actors and directors to play. can be a very global directorial work like "PTU", Adu is absolutely unwilling to choose an actor like Liu Qingyun who is not easy to control, because in this film, the actor is just his tool, and the tool cannot have independent thoughts. This is the reason why the actors of "Gunfire" are more brilliant than the actors of "PTU".

However, Xiao Ran still doesn't appreciate Adu's attitude of treating actors as tools in his personal style works, and a good actor can save a movie, which everyone knows. Although he really admires Adu's ability to teach actors, Adu was able to make Liu Huayuan realize his dream of being an actor twice, and he was able to make Zheng Xiuwen, who had no acting skills in films such as "Lucky Dragon", be trained to be shortlisted for Best Actress with three works.

can make Huang Zhuoling and Meng Jiahui and Lin Xue, as well as Xu Shaoxiong and other tricks and even supporting actors show a very dazzling brilliance, which is already very worthy of Xiao Ran's learning. At least Xiao Ran has always believed that among directors, one of the directors who knows how to teach actors best must be Adu. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Galaxy Imaging's films are so obsessed with several people is that the performance factor is definitely quite large.

The film officially began, without a lengthy beginning like Hollywood films, and the feature of Hong Kong films is that they can quickly let the audience enter the extreme sensory stimulation. Originally, Liang Jun considered using flashbacks to explain, but Xiao Ran reminded that there were at least two sequels, so he gave up and adopted the technique of flat and direct narration.

Luckily, viewers were lucky enough to see individual dinosaurs on TV or magazines, and they were relieved to wait for the surprise. The director's name recedes, and the title appears, and then the title gets smaller and smaller, as if the camera is rapidly regressing.

Almost immediately, as if the camera was regressing, a few sharp teeth suddenly appeared, and an ugly dinosaur blood basin appeared in succession, this picture and "surprise" obviously startled the audience, and the screams were immediately heard. Soon, the screaming girl became shy, because she noticed that everyone around her was staring at her.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, only then did he realize that his influence was really not small. Of course, he refers to the director's technique, Chen Musheng was influenced by him, and Liang Jun was also influenced by him, and painstakingly made such an attractive opening.

This is a good thing, and the use of cinematic techniques is always improving. Just like when we watch the films before the New Wave of Hong Kong cinema, we always feel very dull, and that is because the directors at that time had a preference for long and still shots.

After the New Wave, the films were very different, and it was a very flexible feeling. The rapid maturity of editing techniques has given directors a habit of piecing together the desired image with shorter, as short as a few tenths of a second, which creates a sense of flexibility.

Xiao Ran still believes that in terms of the use of techniques and techniques, the use of Hong Kong films from 1987 to 1997 is still the most flexible and inspiring. Although Adu and Galaxy Imaging emerged after 97, the use of film techniques appeared in a more personal direction, but it was only individual. Most of the films that came out in the decade before that were full of genius and the thrill of free use.

When it comes to long shots, Xiao Ran can't help laughing, he plans to use quite a lot of long shots in his new work. In fact, insiders know that long shots become an extremely dangerous thing, especially when people are cutting their shots shorter and shorter.

Directors have never dared to try this extremely risky approach, based on a very simple example, if a person is on the phone, and the camera stays on that person, it must be unbearable for the audience. If you intersperse other pictures in between, you can adjust the atmosphere to create tension and the like.

The use of long shots by some directors in the West, especially in Europe, is extremely interesting, and quite a few of them have gone to extremes, and there are even many examples of the entire film being done in one shot.

Of course, Xiao Ran wouldn't be so stupid. In his impression, the most successful long shot in Hong Kong action movies is the teahouse shootout in "Hot Hand Detective", where Fa Ge jumps from jumping to flipping onto the table, and then rolls down to shoot and kill the killer. This scene is not even ten seconds, it is already a long shot, you can imagine how many times a film has to be edited.

"The Big Event" is also an extremely famous work of using long shots, and the first seven-minute scene was completed in one shot. It's hard to describe whether Adu did this out of hype at that time, but Xiao Ran is sure that that scene is really not easy to shoot, not only to coordinate the operation of every actor and machine on the scene, but also to rehearse many times, but not a single knife can be cut in the middle. It's just that the attempt of that film was not very successful after all, which is a pity.
