Tapping lightly on the table, there were whispers from the customers around him, and in such a quiet environment, he quickly made a decision. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info rather than using Hollywood companies to expand the influence of Hong Kong films, it is better to rely on their own strength. Moreover, I believe that within ten years, Hollywood will be on the verge of collapse under Xiao Ran's strategy, and Hong Kong films will be able to achieve better results at that time.

After a moment's silence, everyone else stopped eating and stared at Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran's eyes opened slightly, and a wonderful look flashed in his eyes: "Since everyone doesn't want it to enter the market, let's force it to withdraw within half a year." ”

Yang Qi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, they were still afraid that Xiao Ran would really nod and agree, and it would be a big trouble. Xiao Ran gave a countermeasure without thinking: "Since this is the case, then let out the rumors, don't take Warner's play, don't give it any breakthrough point, it must only quit after half a year!" ”

Before it got dark, people in the industry in Hong Kong were aware of the ban on the Big Four. On the contrary, some filmmakers from this book and Western origins were attracted, but unfortunately, there were no Chinese actors to star, although this film was made into a Chinese film, but after all, it could not be released in the name of Hong Kong films. Half a year later, as Xiao Ran expected, Warner retreated.

Xiao Ran won because the four major companies controlled the theater chain and controlled the distribution. Even though Warner controls one of the largest distribution networks in the world, as an American company, it is obvious that no one will think that the films it distributes are purely Hong Kong films, and coupled with the cold attitude of the filmmakers, the exit becomes conceivable.

Xiao Ran just secretly screamed in his stomach that it was a pity, he originally planned to use Warner a few more times, and finally knock it down in one fell swoop. For this reason, he even secretly contacted Mr. Shao and asked Metropolis to be a gold medal undercover agent. Everyone thought that he and Old Man Shao had a holiday, but no one knew that under the mediation of the central political axe, they had completely reconciled.

With Metropolis as an undercover agent, the benefits you can get are definitely greater than now. It's just that after careful consideration, Xiao Ran finally stopped the plan, after all, it looks more dangerous now.

In April, "True Colors" won only Best Picture at the Academy Awards, and although it was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it was ultimately defeated. This made Xiao Ran determined to order Hong Kong films not to send the Oscars, and to develop the Academy Awards with all their might, so that it could replace the Oscars.

In 1995, Phantom contacted Cameron to start preparing for "Titanic", which was filmed by Universal Investment, and "Life and Death", which took a year, was released in the summer. The film, which was more popular than the original, quickly became a hit at the box office, and its overseas distribution was handed over to Phantom, with a global box office of $500 million.

And Phantom's fantasy animation finally created "Toy Story", which was released in the summer and grossed $450 million worldwide. In the same year, a series of adventure films produced by Phantom Images, "The Golden Story of the Dragon", became a dark box office of the year, plundering $470 million worldwide during non-prime times. And another big dark horse is the basic film love drama "Paradise Love", which has a global box office of more than 300 million.

The war film "Don't Bow Your Head" invested by Phantom was well received, grossing $230 million worldwide. And the most dazzling of the year is "God of Gamblers 3", with a global box office of 640 million. Excluding Universal, Phantom has six films on the top 10 global box office lists, and three of them are on the North American list, and "God of Gamblers 3" won the championship.

And this year, "Schindler's List" finally came out, and American Jews enjoyed the film almost with tears in their eyes, and they were full of affection for the Phantom. Another film depicting the brutality of the Japanese army was released around the world, causing shock. And this year, driven by the Phantom, Universal raised the maximum salary to 20 million.

In April 1995, shortly after the release of "Schindler's List", in the towering Phantom Building, in Xiao Ran's office, he was talking with Guan Xin about a very important matter, something he had to do from the position of the richest Chinese man today.

With Guan Xin, the master, Xiao Ran has never liked to go around in circles, because he knows that Guan Xin doesn't like to go around in circles either: "Master, are things in Indonesia well prepared?" That's important, as much as we can do, then we must do as much as we can! ”

"No problem, even though I don't understand why you're doing this!" Guan Xin shrugged his shoulders, he wasn't brainless, he was just too lazy to think about it so much, and he was not suitable for playing such a conspiracy method. But after going through everything, of course he knew very well that since Xiao Ran was going to do something, it was definitely not for nothing.

Xiao Ran sighed softly, how could he ignore such a thing as Tu Hua in Indonesia. If he didn't have this ability to help, it would be fine, but if he had this appeal and ability, then he must do something.

Guan Xin saw that Xiao Ran didn't continue to say anything, so he said without moving: "We can't find the corruption evidence of the Indonesian president, will it have an impact on your plan!" ”

"It's okay, it's just the icing on the cake." Xiao Ran stayed for a long time, if you can have it, that's the best, and if you don't have that, it doesn't have a big impact.

After Guan Xin left on his own, Wei Dongling and Bai Pengfei, the CEO of Scholar Media, came. It was Xiao Ran who asked them to come, since there is a plan and steps, of course it must be done better: "Adong, in my name, you have sent an invitation to the representatives of Indonesian Chinese tycoons, inviting them to come to Hong Kong, and I want to talk to them about a very important matter!" ”

"Pengfei, there is likely to be a riot in Indonesia after a while, and Shuxiang Media must mobilize all resources to report in the shortest possible time." Xiao Ran stared at Bai Pengfei, who was a little dazed, and said: "Moreover, I guess that incident will be very serious, and the lives of the reporters will be in danger, and all the participants will be treated as war correspondents and their insurance will be increased." ”

Thinking about that turmoil, Xiao Ran knew very well that if his plan could succeed, it was likely to avoid the one in 98. Moreover, it is definitely not without interest to himself, as long as he succeeds, then he will definitely be able to have considerable appeal on a global scale and establish power and prestige in front of the political axes of various countries.

"During that time, you can mobilize any resources from the seven flagship companies to do this!" Xiao Ran stared at Bai Pengfei, suddenly turned around, and left a sentence: "In short, using all possible means, I want the whole world to see all the pictures!" ”

Bai Pengfei couldn't help but be shocked, it was really rare for Xiao Ran to attach so much importance to one thing, and he was allowed to mobilize all the resources of the seven flagship companies, which showed Xiao Ran's attention. But what is it? Only Wei Dongling vaguely understands a thing or two.

After Bai Pengfei left, Wei Dongling finally couldn't help but question: "Could your judgment be wrong, if it doesn't happen, then our losses will be great!" ”

"If it happens, then the loss of the Indonesian Chinese is really too big!" Xiao Ran said in a resolute tone that he would rather not have this happen, but now he is not completely relying on historical knowledge to judge, but relying on his own vision of the strategic situation: "As long as that incident happens, I want Indonesia to never be reincarnated in the world!" ”

Xiao Ran, the richest Chinese man, still has a very strong appeal, and the representatives of the Indonesian Chinese billionaires who were invited basically came. For this reason, Xiao Ran held a banquet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel to wash their dust. After the banquet, after carefully checking that there were no bugs and monitors, Xiao Ran invited these people to a very large hall.

Coming to the temporary stage, Xiao Ran looked at everyone in the audience with a very serious expression: "Everyone, I want to tell you one thing when I invite you to come this time." The situation in Indonesia has been unstable recently, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, you should evacuate Indonesia as soon as possible! ”

There was an uproar in the audience, what does it mean that the political situation is unstable and we must evacuate Indonesia quickly? The famous banker Li Wenzheng questioned Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, if even we don't know that the local political situation is going to be shaken, then how do you know?" ”

"This is the result of my speculation, and you can not believe it." Xiao Ran smiled lightly and said: "However, I reminded you because everyone is a compatriot, no matter what, I hope that if something happens at that time, everyone can save the local Chinese!" ”

"Mr. Xiao, don't you want to occupy the Indonesian market while we are evacuating!" One of the relatively young guys shouted to Xiao Ran dissatisfied, this guy's name is Huang Jiawen, and he is a rich man who inherits the family property.

Xiao Ran frowned slightly, why is this Huang Jiawen so brainless, even a blind person can see that the core industry of the Phantom is basically high-tech and entertainment media. What market does he want in Indonesia, to make rubber?

In any case, this negotiation was a complete failure. Xiao Ran is not without appeal in the world, but he has never done anything particularly big in the world, which makes it difficult for him to gain prestige.

On May 7, 1995, as Xiao Ran analyzed the situation, a large-scale anti-Chinese incident broke out in Indonesia, and many Chinese were slaughtered overnight. The reporters of Shuxiang Media have been waiting for a long time, and they have done their best to record all this. Of course, some use candid photography.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ran received the news, and he thought quietly for a moment. In fact, his previous arrangements were already very proper, and he didn't even need to come forward in person to settle it.

It was on this day that all the media controlled by Scholar Media except North America reported on it as a priority, and in North America it was reported by the television network integrated into Universal. Seeing the bloody and brutal images on the TV screen, the world shook.

It was on this morning that Xiao Ran received a call from Yanjing, hoping that he could come forward instead of the political axe and use his influence to save more people. Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, what can he do with such a thing? He is only the chairman of the seven flagships, not the president of the country.

However, under the arrangement, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ran held a press conference. There were reporters from all over the world, and even Indonesian reporters, and Xiao Ran almost kicked the Indonesian out of the venue at first sight. If it weren't for the use value, and it was a live broadcast, then he would have done it.

Looking at the full crowd of reporters and cameras, Xiao Ran still hadn't prepared any speeches, he had always liked to improvise. However, to the surprise of all the reporters, some of them were all dressed in black and white.

However, what made them even more surprised was that Xiao Ran's Phantom people were also dressed in black and white. Glancing at the sixty or seventy reporters in the audience, Xiao Ran stood up with a sad expression and said slowly: "First of all, I am very sad and angry to announce one thing to you, Indonesia broke out yesterday in a large-scale anti-Chinese action, and the local people have committed countless atrocities against us Chinese, burning, killing, looting and doing everything. From yesterday evening to an hour ago, according to incomplete statistics, the number of local Chinese casualties is at least as high as 300! ”

The journalists were not surprised, the news they had already seen on TV. Xiao Ran said in an extremely sad tone: "As the chairman of the board of directors of Scholar Media, I am here to announce that because of the atrocities in Indonesia, a female reporter surnamed Scholar sent by Scholar Media was kidnapped and killed!" ”

Here, Xiao Ran, who had almost reached the peak of anger in his heart, reluctantly picked up a bag of information on the table. When it was opened, it was shown to everyone a very brutal photograph of the death, in addition to the information of the female journalist.

This picture immediately became the focus of attention of all the reporters in the audience, but when Liang Jiabao and them looked at it, they suddenly felt so disgusted that they wanted to vomit. Their eyes turned red, and every reporter trembled, eager to scold Indonesia half to death immediately.

At this time, Xiao Ran stepped aside, picked up the two middle-aged men and women who were crying suddenly, and turned his face to the reporters and said: "These two are the parents of the female reporter who was brutally killed, here, in the name of the chairman of the board of directors of Shuxiang Media, I would like to express my deepest apologies to them, because of the negligence of the group, their daughter lost her precious life in the Indonesian riots!" ”

"She is a very, very good journalist, and losing her is a loss for Scholar Media!" Xiao Ran closed his eyes slightly, and the sadness in his heart was indescribable. If he hadn't sent someone, if the bodyguards had been better protected, the female journalist wouldn't have had an accident: "She went, and we were saddened. However, we will never lose our work ethic, and we have the right to report all the truth to the world! This is the professional duty of our media, and neither one person nor one country can stop us. ”

All the reporters at the scene fell silent and took off their hats. Now they know why Liang Jiabao is dressed in black, but this only makes them feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead. If it were them, would they have suffered such a fate, and if it had been somewhere else, would this happen! They don't know, but they know they can do something.
