Chapter 100: Wakami Returns
There are definitely a lot of people who can do a good job, but they lack such an opportunity. Xiao Ran is providing such an opportunity, he is only an artist at present, and when his strength is enough, he will start to train filmmakers.
What's especially unusual is that Phantom's artist training is very specialized. Either choose to be a singer, choose to be an actor, or choose to be a model, there is no other choice. Of course, artists can choose to learn all of them together, but this is definitely very hard.
Xiao Ran wants to be professional, whether it is an actor or a singer, he needs to devote himself wholeheartedly to his own industry. There are absolutely very few people in this world who can achieve in film, television and songs like Liu Hua, and only if they are professional enough to win in the future.
The training course is divided into beginner class and advanced class, and the so-called beginner class is the second selection, which selects the most potential artists. The advanced class is only divided into professional classes, and only those who can pass here are eligible to sign a contract with the Phantom. When the contract is signed, the agent will conduct very name-specific training, and that's when a star comes out.
Xiao Ran was not worried that these artists would switch to other companies, and at the beginning, he may have been worried about making wedding dresses for others, but as long as the Phantom grows to a certain scale, this is what he is looking forward to. Therefore, in terms of signing contracts with artists, he was very loose.
Seeing Hai Lulu, Xiao Ran asked her to directly get the sisters to be trained in the advanced class, and after passing the course, she found the best agent for them and formulated the most suitable route for them. When the time comes, they will train secretly for a period of time, and then Xiao Ran will shoot a big-budget film to make them popular. This is the thrill of creating a god, although it has not yet succeeded, Xiao Ran can still experience this joy of being a god.
A few days later, "A Chinese Ghost Story" officially started filming, then "Ghost Mission" started filming, and then "The Saint of Gambling" started filming. The simultaneous start of filming of three films in a row surprised the media, and the three major companies were even more shocked, especially when they learned that Phantom Company had started filming without financing at all.
He Guanchang didn't understand it very much, and he didn't understand it all along, why did Xiao Ran have so much confidence that the film would sell well? "God of Gamblers" and "Prison Storm" didn't have financing, and Fang Ruohai's funds were all foreign funds at that time.
However, what he couldn't figure out was that this time the Phantom opened three plays in a row, and they were all plays with an average production cost of up to 6 million, but he didn't raise money, but just went around to contact advertising, which made him not understand.
Of course, Golden Harvest does not finance every film, for example, Cheng Long's works are guaranteed to make money, so they are all invested by Reading Power. But compared to others, it is not as easy to do as imagined. He Guanchang naturally understands, but he still can't understand Xiao Ran, he has neither financing nor selling flowers, so he Xiao Ran is so confident?
Xiao Ran didn't know that he didn't care about the opinions of other companies, and the time gradually moved to August, and "Autumn Fairy Tale" successfully registered at the 44th Venice Film Festival. He is now focusing on this matter, if he can win the award, it will no longer be difficult to break through the blockade of Golden Harvest and open up the European and American markets.
In fact, it is completely possible to send this film to the Montreal International Film Festival in Canada to participate in the competition, but the regulations do not allow it, so Xiao Ran can only choose Venice. During this period, Wei Dongling finally matched Xiao Ran with a beautiful female secretary.
It's not that Xiao Ran is not interested in Venice, but he really doesn't have time, and there is no need to go in person. The Venice Film Festival is a paradise for art films, but Xiao Ran knows very well that "Autumn Fairy Tale" will basically not do anything this year, because it was this year that a peak gay movie "Maurice's Lover" was born.
He had other things to do, this time Zhong Chuhong and Fa Ge were mainly in the past. Next year is the time for Xiao Ran to exert his strength, and it is a pity that the mainland market is not possible to open up now, otherwise, he must look north to China.
In addition to the main creators of this trip, Xiao Ran also sent the director of the distribution department to talk about the transaction with the intended distribution company by the way. This is logical, in the post-production, Xiao Ran did not hesitate to spend money to hire very good translators to translate the subtitles as authentically as possible.
Then again, translation has always been one of the weaknesses of Hong Kong films, because of the short production cycle and small investment, it is often sent to an inconspicuous subtitle studio for translation. The result was naturally extremely miserable, not the translation into English, but the fact that there were several problems with the conversion of Cantonese into Mandarin.
In fact, some of the Hong Kong films with Chinese pronunciation that Xiao Ran watched when he was a child were smuggled from Taiwan, because the Taiwan side hired its own voice actors, so all the ones that appeared in the mainland were pronounced in Mandarin.
Xiao Ran didn't want to make such a mistake, so he attached great importance to every aspect of film production, and paid attention to the fact that the production cost that originally only cost 4 million increased to 6 million. Although the cost has increased, the effect and quality of the film have also increased, which is the long-term benefit.
It was one day in early September, Xiao Ran put down all the work at hand and glanced at Guan Xin, who was watching TV boringly. He was thinking about whether to tell Guan Xin about this matter, but if he thought about Guan Xin's identity carefully, I was afraid that this matter would not be hidden.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ran finally sat down next to Guan Xin, watched the TV quietly before saying, "Master, take you somewhere, but keep it a secret!" ”
Guan Xin nodded, the boss had already sent someone to investigate Xiao Ran, and it was very clear what Xiao Ran had done during this time. Guan Xin, who had read the investigation report, naturally knew what Xiao Ran wanted to do with such a mysterious appearance.
The two went out very mysteriously, and came to an ordinary house, Xiao Ran looked at the three people inside, and eagerly hugged his shoulders, and then introduced: "This is my personal bodyguard, these three, this is Lin Yongqiang, this is Rong Xiaoyi!" ”
With Xiao Ran, it is not just the two die-hard friends who are strong and petty, as for the other listless guy who looks thinner than Ah Qiang, he looks blank. Xiao Ran's expression when he introduced it was very ordinary: "This is Fang Xiaoqiang, a securities trader, and he is a master of heavy money and courtesy." ”
Why did Rong Xiaoyi and Gu Jingqiang appear here? A long time ago, Xiao Ran was preparing for this stock market crash. A few months ago, Xiao Ran, who had been suffering from not having enough manpower, finally remembered two dead friends.
He took a sum of money out of the phantom to make a fund for Xiaoyi and Ah Qiang, in order to prepare for this stock market crash. After months of preparation, it is now about to come in handy. Of course, the reason why Xiao Ran didn't dare to come forward in person was undoubtedly because he was worried that his image would be ruined because of fishing in troubled waters in the stock market crash.
That's why I chose these two spokespersons, but I didn't expect Xiaoyi and Ah Qiang to be well organized. As for the handicap, he is really remarkable, and has historically played the role of a sniper dealer in the stock market crash at the end of the year.
However, this is not the time when Fang Xiaoqiang is really famous, he can't do anything because of the panic of the stock market crash for political reasons, and no one can do anything at that time. But when it came to the mini-stock market crash in the Gulf War in 90, he ruthlessly used his vision to make a lot of money, and he became the number one in Hong Kong.
But this is still not the reason why Fang Xiaoqiang is so valued by Xiao Ran, the most important thing is that during the Asian financial crisis in 98, Fang Xiaoqiang actively contacted several wealthy people to join forces to snipe Soros, and even pasted all his own money into it.
Such behavior is undoubtedly worthy of respect, but unfortunately, Fang Xiaoqiang still did not defeat Soros. Before the money of China's central government was allocated, he lost nearly 8 billion yuan of several wealthy people, and he even lost no money of his own. He didn't wait for the money from the political axe to be allocated, and jumped to his death under the trust of several rich people who felt deeply sorry, and he was really a legendary tragic figure.
Wei Jiahui's "Big Era" was inspired by Fang Xiaoqiang's call for wind and rain in the stock market, however, this Fang Xiaoqiang is very indifferent to fame and fortune, that is, after becoming famous, he lived in a shallow way, Xiao Ran took a long time to find Fang Xiaoqiang, who is still suffering countless wins and losses in the securities market.
Guan Xin's expression did not move, obviously knowing about this matter a long time ago. Xiao Ran smiled slightly, this is a war, if he wins it, he will have enough funds to expand. Lost, he still has a chance to come back.
They all sat down, and Xiao Ran drank a glass of water before asking, "What do you think of the situation?" ”
Rong Xiaoyi and Ah Qiang both shook their heads, they knew what Xiao Ran was asking, but they really couldn't see anything wrong with the stock market. Xiao Ran moved his gaze to Fang Xiaoqiang, Fang Xiaoqiang's eyes, which had not had the slightest brilliance, immediately lit up, and he sat up straight with infinite energy: "It's possible, it's definitely possible!" Recently, the market has risen sharply, and I have investigated it, and I believe that there is a large amount of money entering the market! However, I haven't found out where the other party came from. ”
"Very good, is 80 million enough for you?" Xiao Ran forced Fang Xiaoqiang to look at him, this matter must not be lost, otherwise it will take another three years for him to make a comeback.
Fang Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up again: "80 million is a little less, but we just want to get a vote here, so we don't need to fight against the dealer!" It's easy to make a good buck. ”
On the way back, Guan Xin suddenly said something that made Xiao Ran frown slightly: "If you do this, you are harming the interests of Hong Kong citizens, is it really worth it?" ”
"It's not worth it!" Xiao Ran showed a faint mocking smile: "If you want the Phantom to expand rapidly, you must have money, and this stock market crash is a good opportunity." I don't have a choice, if I have to take my time, I don't have that much time. ”
Guan Xin has nothing to say, anyway, he doesn't know much about stocks. Xiao Ran also didn't know about securities, so he handed over all the power to Fang Xiaoqiang in this war. As long as he wins, he doesn't care what means Fang Xiaoqiang used.
"I want to warn you of one thing, though!" Guan Xin remembered the decision made by his superiors, and he was very depressed and was sent to perform a task beside Xiao Ran. Some time ago, he got some information, information related to Phantom and Xiao Ran: "Fang Ruohai is back!" ”
"What?" Xiao Ran's mouth opened wide, and his eyes showed shock. Soon he calmed down and looked at Guan Xin, who was driving the car: "When did it happen?" ”
"Very early, the first time we found his sights was in June, when you were in Taiwan." Guan Xin smiled faintly, he thought that this must be useful to Xiao Ran: "Fang Ruohai went to see Wang Minggui, and later met Wang Yu!" I think you know what he's going to do! ”
couldn't help but shake his head, Xiao Ran suddenly felt that everything was not as easy as he imagined. What is Fang Ruohai doing when he comes back? Of course, it is to find justice. But what exactly does Fang Ruohai want to do? Xiao Ran didn't know.
It is definitely very dangerous to have such an enemy in the shadows, especially since this enemy is still very sober and rich. Xiao Ran had worked with Fang Ruohai and knew that this was not a simple character, the key was that he didn't even know what Fang Ruohai wanted to do
"One more thing, you might be interested!" Guan Xin glanced at Xiao Ran, who was thinking, and threw out the second bomb: "The company has an internal annihilation sent by Fang Ruohai, which belongs to the distribution department!" I think you should know how to use this pawn. ”
Xiao Ran was not surprised this time, according to Fang Ruohai's habit of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, the company didn't have an internal annihilation. Thinking of the humiliation he was subjected to when he pursued Fang Ruoxin like Lin Qingxia, Xiao Ran sneered, if he wants to come, let him come, this battle may not be lost. Fang Ruohai can hide in the dark, and Xiao Ran can force him out.
"Force Fang Ruohai to fight it out in the stock market!" This brilliant idea suddenly flashed through Xiao Ran's mind. That's right, the stock market is his biggest advantage at present, as long as he can force Fang Ruohai to go to the stock market, this battle will be won.
He is now in Lin Qingxia's boudoir, and he always needs a friend who listens to his heart. For Xiao Ran, Lin Qingxia is not only an object of deep love, but also a respected friend. Therefore, it has become a habit for Xiao Ran to find Lin Qingxia when he encounters a problem.
Lin Qingxia leaned on Xiao Ran and asked suspiciously: "Although I don't know about securities, I still know that in the securities market, whoever has more money wins." The Fang family has a net worth of nearly one billion US dollars, how can they fight? ”
How to force? Of course, it is the use of internal annihilation. After closing his eyes and meditating for a long time, Xiao Ran calculated. This can't give Fang Ruohai too much time, he must be forced to rush to the field, and when the time comes, he will take advantage of the dealer's east wind to defeat Fang Ruohai, who has strong financial resources.
"It's okay, I have a way!" Xiao Ran hurriedly soothed Lin Qingxia, and then analyzed to himself: "Although Fang Ruohai likes to take risks, he is also very cautious, and he will definitely not do such a thing when he enters the scene in a hurry." What to do? ”
"There it is!" Xiao Ran was overjoyed, hugged Lin Qingxia fiercely and kissed her, and then shouted excitedly: "As long as I can make him think that I have invested all my funds in the stock market, then he will be very happy to take advantage of this once-in-a-century opportunity to clean me up at once!" ”
"How can such an illusion be created?" Lin Qingxia was very happy for Xiao Ran, although she really didn't know much about stocks: "I have long felt that Fang Ruohai is not simple, he is a businessman, and he probably won't fall for such a scheme!" ”
"There's a way!" Xiao Ran had a way in a blink of an eye, he was apprehensive for a moment, gritted his teeth and decided: "Take the phantom as a mortgage, as long as I fail in the stock market, I will definitely not be able to repay the money, and I will definitely go bankrupt at that time, so I am afraid that he will be able to achieve the end he wants!" ”
Lin Qingxia almost jumped up, she had never seen such a ruthless businessman put herself in a dangerous situation in order to attract the enemy's scheme. However, Xiao Ran didn't think so, after all, he was very sure.
After solving this problem, Xiao Ran hugged Lin Qingxia, who had a soft body, and gently blew in her ear: "If I fail and go bankrupt this time, are you still willing to be with me?" Maybe I'll have to eat soft rice then! ”
Lin Qingxia obediently put her head on Xiao Ran's forehead, letting the sincerity in her eyes project into Xiao Ran's eyes: "As long as you don't leave me, I won't leave you, my hand of God!" ”
