Xiao Ran chuckled, if all this was not his plan, then all this would definitely be quite a fatal blow. If he is a sane studio owner who has analyzed all of this and does not have enough power, then his best option is to leave Hong Kong immediately and go to Hollywood to make a movie.

However, he is not, even if he does not count the underworld, he is one of the most influential rich people in Hong Kong. It is impossible for Chinese films to be made in Taiwan, let alone in the mainland, and the current mainland does not belong to him at all, and it does not belong to him at all. Hong Kong is definitely a blessed city, not only in terms of finance, but also in terms of film.

How to cut off the mastermind behind the British political axe in Hong Kong? This is what Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling are considering. After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Ran finally gritted his teeth and decided: "The whole thing is treated cold, just treat it as if it never happened!" "It's not that he doesn't move, but he needs the surname Nai, and what Xiao Ran doesn't lack is the surname Nai, he was able to endure Fang Ruohai for half a year, and now he can do better.

Liu Hua, Liang Chaowei, Feng Feier, Wang Zuxian, etc., these are all things that Phantom has worked hard to manage, and it took time and effort and a lot of money to pick them up. It fell into Mo Huaien's hands like this, but what should have been happy made him think about it, and his hair was a few gray. This absolutely unreasonable thing happened, but he didn't guess that Xiao Ran had any conspiracy - the filmmaker's contract was in Mo Huaien's hands, even if Fa Ge and they were all undercover, it was meaningless.

Just as he was talking to Wei Dongling about how to do it, a phone call came from the United States, and it was the person in charge of Light and Magic, who told Xiao Ran a rather unfortunate news - half of Light and Magic's technicians had resigned, and at the same time, Lucas had founded another computer special effects company called Vision.

It's finally here! This was Xiao Ran's only thought, and he sighed softly. The treatment he gave to the technicians was already excellent, but in the end, he couldn't match the charm of Lucas, the former boss.

Lucas, Lucas! Xiao Ran told Wei Dongling the news, and Wei Dongling was immediately stunned. It's hard to describe what kind of mood Wei Dongling is, at least he has seen the level of computer special effects that is absolutely ahead of the world, and he really thinks that there is a lot to be done.

Originally, he was still wondering why Xiao Ran wanted to buy Light and Magic and Pixar, after all, the Phantom already had a special effects team and an animation team. However, when he saw that Xiao Ran gradually brought the talents that Light and Demon were willing to come to Hong Kong, he realized that these were also top masters, and some were even better than the original technicians of the Phantom.

The reason why Phantom was able to make a liquid metal man first was not that it completely surpassed Light and Magic in technology, but that Xiao Ran gave a correct and specific technical research direction. Light and Magic didn't, so at this point it was left behind.

But this does not mean that the technology of the light and magic is worse than that of the phantom, and before the phantom has not gotten the person of the light and demon, the technology is indeed a little worse. After all, Light & Magic has accumulated many years of experience, and the Phantom's special effects team laboratory is certainly the world's top master in the network, but in the end it is a little younger.

It's just that after getting some of the personnel of the Light and Demon, this team quickly ran into one. The Light Fiend originally thought that they were the best in the world, but when they saw the liquid metal man made by the Phantom, they had to admire it. Knowing that the Phantom has invested billions in this in just two or three years, and it still maintains a high level of income for technicians, it feels that this is an excellent working environment, which is why those talents are left.

Don't take the light and magic as a myth, the light and magic before making the liquid metal man in 91 years were very poor, and the market value was not as high as Skywalker's market value at all. Of course, it is difficult to spend much money on special effects, this is the advantage of the Phantom, you can invest tens of billions of dollars in special effects in two or three years, and Lucas can't keep up with this point. Got the experience of light and magic, so that the current special effects team can completely compete with light and magic, whether it is strength or other aspects.

The world knows Lucas's fascination with film technology, and Xiao Ran is certainly no exception. As early as when he bought the Light Devil, he thought about killing Lucas so that the Light Devil's people would not be pulled away, because he knew very well that Lucas had taken the 300 million dollars, which was enough to make a comeback.

It's a pity that he is still not vicious enough, and Lucas happily took 300 million dollars to try something else. Now that I'm done trying, and then turn around and come back to do special effects, it's Xiao Ran's turn to have a headache. It seems that sometimes winning and losing are not superficial things.

It's all all crammed together, what the hell! Xiao Ran didn't have anything to explain, but just told the person in charge that he must invite Lucas to Hong Kong, and he wanted to see Lu. Having temporarily dealt with this matter, which is likely to cause the two heroes of special effects to stand together in the future, Xiao Ran continued to think about how to solve the current situation.

With the support of Hong Kong's British political axe, Hongguo will definitely be able to stand on its feet. It's too brainless to talk about what to drive Hongguo to death now. At the moment, it seems that the only way is to dry up, just like the dry consumption with Haile before the decisive battle, which makes Mo Huaien suspicious.

Unless Xiao Ran is willing to buy Honglian at a high price, then Mo Huaien will definitely agree. Just kidding, he was there to make money, why didn't he agree. Besides, if it is sold to Xiao Ran, they can use the money to make a bigger film company, wouldn't it be better.

Of course, neither Xiao Ran nor Wei Dongling would be so stupid. Or follow the previous method of dealing with Toei and acquire Guoli, which seems to be a good way on the surface. The market value of Guoli's various industries is only about 10 billion, which is enough with Phantom's huge cash reserves.

But isn't that the same as giving money to someone? If the national interests are gone, there can be a country and Thailand and the like, and it will still be invested, and it will not be able to move at all. Unlike the previous treatment of Jiahe, it was worth it to directly let Zou Wenhuai lose in that battle, and Xiao Ran also got Toei. Besides, Xiao Ran wants to make money on national interests, not lose money.

As a result, Xiao Ran and Phantom were forced to a road where there was only one choice, and they had to face off head-on with Honglian. At least, on the surface, it looks like Hongguo already has the strength to compete with the Phantom in the local market. If you can suppress the Phantom's films throughout the year, it will not be a problem to enter Southeast Asia.

But is it possible? How can such a layman who entered the market in a hurry be able to master the key points of both artistic and commercial surnames as proficient as Xiao Ran! The consequences of rushing into the scene are to make money in a hurry, and make quick money in a hurry, which Xiao Ran absolutely does not want to see, and he never wants the Hong Kong film empire he has worked so hard to build collapse.

The real good news is that Hongkook is now more like a production company than a distribution company, and its distribution agent only controls one place, South Korea, and it is difficult to make more profits. And the production companies and distribution companies in Hong Kong are completely on the side of the Phantom, to put it simply, if Hongguo wants to distribute its own films, it must either go through foreign film companies, or only through the other four giants.

However, perhaps you and I have sensed why Xiao Ran did not accept the proposal of the three major companies and join forces to expel Hongguo, which is definitely feasible. Xiao Ran has only one seemingly valid answer to this: Hongguo has the support of Hong Kong's British political axe!

At noon, Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong both came in a hurry to have lunch in a restaurant. Lin Qingxia didn't want to eat anything now, just gently poked the knife and fork on the steak, and looked at Xiao Ran worriedly: "Hua Tsai and Wei Tsai have gone to Hongguo, are you not angry at all?" ”

Zhong Chuhong couldn't eat, the reason why she came in a hurry was nothing more than that after hearing the news, she was afraid that Xiao Ran would be uncomfortable. Speaking of this, Xiao Ran didn't say anything, Wei Dongling raised his hand and wanted to shoot it, remembering that it was in the restaurant, so he suddenly stopped the car, and anger surged up: "These guys, they don't want to think about how much money the company spent to make them popular." Xiao Ran couldn't stop laughing, he found that Wei Dongling might have to be an actor.

Wei Dongling's sentence Zhong Chuhong understood very well, and she was more aware of the Phantom's starlight plan. Don't mention filming and the like, Phantom still has a certain return, but it is almost completely invested in advertising, and the star agent company even posted money to advertise this year in order to cooperate with the head office to praise Miao Liyun who played "Terminator 2".

Therefore, Andy, Wei Zai and Feng Fei'er defected from the Phantom, which made Wei Dongling so angry that his neck was half red, which is obviously explainable. The strange thing is that Xiao Ran is as if nothing happened, as if this incident did not happen at all, or it has no effect on the phantom at all.

"There's nothing to be angry about, people go to high places, and water flows to low places!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, looking relaxed and bland.

Lin Qingxia glanced at Xiao Ran in confusion, she understood Xiao Ran. If it is in front of outsiders, it is definitely not a problem for Xiao Ran to act relaxed. But in front of these close people, if Xiao Ran has something uncomfortable in his heart, it is always difficult to hide, and his surname is like this.

Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Ran had such a look in front of her, it would prove that there was really nothing wrong. However, Lin Qingxia never believed that this large-scale signing of Hongguo really had no impact on Xiao Ran at all, and she felt that there seemed to be something between Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling that was hiding from her.

While she was thinking, Xiao Ran's hand under the platform held her hand and squeezed it gently, but she didn't say anything. Lin Qingxia was stunned for a moment, and then determined that Xiao Ran definitely had something to hide from her. At this time, Zhong Chuhong stared at Xiao Ran's slightly dark face, and her eyes showed worry: "But in this way, there will be no one in the company!" ”

"What's the point? There are still a large number of newcomers in the star company to try! Xiao Ran pretended to smile reluctantly, this was indeed the only choice he could choose: "Don't worry, this is not difficult for us!" By the way, when did you and Jiading get married? ”

"Married?" Zhong Chuhong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I don't have this plan yet, besides, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about!" ”

"Of course in a hurry, I have prepared a villa for you as a wedding gift!" Xiao Ran made a joke, although this joke seemed so reluctant to Aunt Hong: "If I don't give it to you when the property price is rising, I will lose a lot at that time!" ”

Seeing Zhong Chuhong leave, the happy looks on Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling's faces gradually disappeared, and were replaced by heavy colors. Back in the office, Lin Qingxia hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Is there something you're hiding from me? ”

"It's really fine!" Xiao Ran gave a look, and Wei Dongling immediately quietly pushed the door out, and then closed the door smoothly. Xiao Ran gently half-hugged his wife and came to the window and stared down quietly: "There are some things that you still don't want to know!" ”

Lin Qingxia was slightly stunned, she seemed to understand what Xiao Ran wanted to do, sighed softly, and leaned on Xiao Ran's shoulder: "Hongguo is so fierce, can you really handle it?" What the hell was Mo Wynn thinking, wasn't he in real estate? ”

"He, I think he's here for you, he's very infatuated with you, it's said that he is not married in his thirties, he just wants to marry you." Xiao Ran smiled lightly, thinking that women are still easy to deal with, and immediately cleverly changed the topic: "It's a pity that I was the first to get there!" ”

"Don't be kidding, you said that Mo Wynne is a very realistic and cautious person, what are you going to do?" Lin Qingxia patted Xiao Ran's dishonest hand and asked softly.

"This ......" Xiao Ran pondered for a long time, the most important talent and funds for the movie, and Hongguo has both, which seems to be not easy to do: "Let it go there first, when I have my hands free, then take care of it." ”

What kind of solution is this? Lin Qingxia thought about it, although the business center of the Phantom is in the movie, but if the film business is really in trouble, the impact on the Phantom is not particularly great. Thinking of this, I feel a little relieved, this is one of the benefits of industrial decentralization.

The next day, the artists who defected to Hongguo planned to come to see Xiao Ran in person, hoping to explain to Xiao Ran. However, Xiao Ran did not see these "traitors". On the third day, Lucas came, sent someone to pick him up, and arranged for him to stay in a hotel, and then Xiao Ran met him in the office.

Lucas is a little fatter than when they first met, presumably because he was very happy to have hundreds of millions of dollars in his arms during this time. He was deeply puzzled by Xiao Ran's invitation to him, and what bothered him even more was uneasiness and some fear. When he heard that Xiao Ran wanted to see him, he almost subconsciously refused, and then realized how afraid he was of this oriental devil.

After thinking about it carefully, he still came, and he didn't even have a reason for it. However, he thought that Xiao Ran would not let him run in vain, this oriental devil would give him the best enjoyment materially, but meeting Xiao Ran was a kind of psychological and spiritual torture.

He looked at the devil in his mind, this devil looked a little thinner than last time, but he was still very energetic, especially the smile in his eyes made people feel kind. It's just that Lu is still quite afraid of this.

"George, I heard you're planning to start a new computer effects company?" Xiao Ran did not adopt a strong position this time, any attitude is useful, the key is to use it skillfully enough: "Are there any difficulties?" ”

"Mr. Xiao, I think with 300 million US dollars, there will be no difficulties in this world!" In the face of such a smile, Lucas's vigilance relaxed a lot, and he was even able to sneer at each other: "And now that you have a net worth of billions of dollars, I'm afraid you want to buy all the earth!" ”
