Xiao Ran couldn't stop laughing, glanced at Lin Qingxia next to him and asked, "Sister Hong, what is so good?" I'll take a picture of it, and I'll give it to you when the time comes! ”

"I'm going to die, I'm talking nonsense next to Qingxia!" Zhong Chuhong smiled lightly: "It's a fashion, it's not really expensive, otherwise, I guess you will definitely be reluctant to pay for it, right?" Bus Boss! ”

Xiao Ran was embarrassed, the so-called bus boss was another nickname given to him in the circle, referring to the fact that he didn't even have a car, and it was estimated that he would have to take the bus to work. However, he didn't joke with Zhong Chuhong once or twice, and he laughed easily: "Okay, then next time we look for a Qingxia and talk nonsense!" ”

Lin Qingxia glanced at Zhong Chuhong with a snicker, patted Xiao Ran gently, and signaled that the auction on the stage had begun. At that moment, he stopped laughing, but seriously appreciated the auction.

In fact, the items in this charity auction are very miscellaneous, and there is everything. From antiques to fashion, from jewelry to vases. Xiao Ran took a rough look at the introduction materials, and then focused his attention on a picture of a lady of an unknown painter in the Song Dynasty, and the fashion that Zhong Chuhong pointed to.

Xiao Ran quietly poked his head over to Fa Ge, pointed to the two items and said, "Fa Ge, you help me take this picture of a lady, and I will personally take that fashion!" ”

Fa Ge quickly understood what Xiao Ran meant, and nodded with a smile. The picture of the lady went well, and it only cost 110,000 yuan to take it. Then Fa Ge took down a piece of jewelry, which he probably planned to give to his sister-in-law.

Finally, it was the turn of that fashion, and the reserve price was only 15,000, which was equivalent to a month's income of ordinary people. However, this fashion seems to be very popular, and it has tripled in just three rounds.

When it came to the fourth round of bidding, Xiao Ran thought that it was time, and was about to open his mouth to shout, but he heard a shout not far behind him: "Forty thousand!" ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Lin Qingxia at the same time, he was a guy in his thirties, dressed with great taste, and he thought that he should be a child of a family. When that guy saw Lin Qingxia looking at him, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xiao Ran couldn't help frowning, this situation seemed to be a rival in love. Lin Qingxia saw Xiao Ran's expression, and couldn't help but smile secretly: "That's Mo Huaien, the boss of Renwei Company." ”

Rivals in love, definitely rivals in love. Xiao Ran hated Mo Huaien when he thought of the way he looked at Lin Qingxia. At the moment, he did not hesitate to shout loudly: "100,000!" ”

This price is fierce enough, and the audience was a sensation at the moment, and they all looked sideways at Xiao Ran, and when they saw Lin Qingxia beside him, most of them remembered that this was the boss of the phantom company. Xiao Ran shouted the price and glanced at Mo Huaien, and lost a look, which was a little provocative.

Mo Huaien hesitated, it was not that he had no money, but that he felt that it was not cost-effective to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a dress. However, thinking of the happiness that Lin Qingxia might have when she received the gift, his heart was hot, and he suddenly left everything behind: "110,000!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, it didn't matter if he bought this fashion or not, because he originally planned to send Zhong Chuhong to make a joke. However, now he suddenly wanted to play with this Mo Huaien: "Two hundred thousand! ”

It was a sensation again, and everyone focused their eyes on Xiao Ran, an upstart in the film industry, wondering if this kid was stimulated by something. Either he was thinking: this kid must be crazy, or he is crazy about who he wants to pursue!

Lin Qingxia grabbed Xiao Ran's arm and shook her head gently: "Don't fight, it doesn't matter if you want it anyway, besides, I don't necessarily like this dress!" ”

Mo Huaien didn't speak this time, he didn't think there was any need to spend 200,000 yuan to buy a dress, and it wasn't inlaid with diamonds, as for it? 200,000 is enough for ordinary people to squander for a full year!

As a result, under Xiao Ran's extreme depression, Wei Dongling's hehehe's strange smile, Fa Ge's shaking his head and bitter smile, and Zhong Chuhong's smug smile, this dress that was only worth 30,000 yuan at most was bought by him for 200,000 yuan. Xiao Ran couldn't wait to shout, 200,000 is enough to buy a good car.

Xiao Ran, who was in great pain, took the clothes that made him beat his chest, and without the slightest hesitation, he glanced at Lin Qingxia, and then handed the clothes to Zhong Chuhong. The audience was in an uproar, and countless people were discussing: It turned out that this kid wanted to pursue Honggu, no wonder he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy this dress.

Zhong Chuhong, who was at a loss by Xiao Ran's unexpected play, took the clothes easily, but felt extremely embarrassed in the strange eyes of everyone. glared at Xiao Ran fiercely, and then Hong Gu sat down.

Xiao Ran saw that Aunt Hong was really annoyed, and hurriedly attached it to her ear and explained with a smile: "Sister Hong, don't be angry, this dress was originally intended to be given to you, and the lady picture was given to Qingxia." Don't you want to play with the newspapers and magazines, maybe they'll make headlines tomorrow! Just help me! ”

Zhong Chuhong suddenly realized that Xiao Ran did this not all to make her happy, but to cover up his relationship with Lin Qingxia in public, so as not to have any suspicion from others. If the media associated her with Xiao Ran, it would naturally rarely mention Lin Qingxia. The most important thing is that Zhong Chuhong's age is almost the same as Xiao Ran, and with such cooperation, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia naturally look very innocent.

guessed Xiao Ran's intentions, Zhong Chuhong suddenly felt envious. If only she could have such a careful and considerate boyfriend, thinking of this, she didn't dare to think about it anymore. Xiao Ran didn't notice Zhong Chuhong's expression, and just gently said his intentions to Lin Qingxia. Lin Qingxia just smiled charmingly at Xiao Ran when she heard this, she believed Xiao Ran.

The charity dinner is over, but for Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, it is not over yet, because that Mo Huaien came up. Ignoring Xiao Ran's courtesy to Lin Qingxia, when Xiao Ran was about to have a seizure, he suddenly thought that his apparent identity was just a godbrother, and he watched all this coldly.

"Miss Lin, why don't I send you back!" Mo Huaien glanced at Xiao Ran, just now he thought that Xiao Ran was fighting with him for Lin Qingxia. Seeing that Xiao Ran gave the clothes to Zhong Chuhong, he was relieved.

"No need, I have my own car!" Lin Qingxia politely declined, it was not the first time she had dealt with such a thing, and she was always able to handle it easily: "Moreover, I want to leave with Ah Ran, and talk about something by the way!" ”

Xiao Ran found that this Mo Huaien was not bad-looking, and his appearance looked very reliable, which made it easy for women to think that he could be entrusted for life. However, Xiao Ran thought that he had touched one of Mo Huaien's fatal heels - stinginess.

It's not so much stingy as practical. This Mo Huaien is too practical, just such a scene, even if other men are for self-esteem, they will definitely try their best to take pictures of their clothes. But this Mo Huaien didn't, but stopped very sensibly.

Xiao Ran was both admiring and despissing, and if possible, he would be eager to make gestures of contempt and admiration at the same time. It's not bad to be too practical, at least Xiao Ran feels that such a person is very likely to be able to eat in the mall, if Mo Huaien understands the truth that suffering a loss is taking advantage, then this person may not be simple.

I have to ask Guan Xin to investigate this person when I go back! Xiao Ran secretly made a decision. Since he vaguely guessed Guan Xin's identity, he felt that it was most appropriate to find Guan Xin to check people's information or something. In fact, Guan Xin can always do everything well.

After sending Mo Huaien away, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but blame Xiao Ran while walking towards the car: "Ah Ran, next time you make me unprepared like this, I will kick out your secret!" ”

Oops, Zhong Chuhong collided with a man, Xiao Ran quickly supported her, frowned and asked the handsome young man: "Friend, remember to look at the road when walking!" ”

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else just now, so I didn't notice!" This very handsome young man apologized again and again very politely, and suddenly exclaimed, obviously recognizing Xiao Ran and Zhong Chuhong: "Are you Xiao Ran and Zhong Chuhong?" By the way, my name is Zhu Jiading. ”

Zhu Jiading? Where have you heard this name? Xiao Ran patted his head in distress. Zhu Jiading handed over the business card, and Xiao Ran took a closer look, and the words "Lingzhi Advertising Company" were printed on it.

Suddenly, he remembered what kind of character this guy was, and he couldn't help but feel that it was funny. However, soon he had no such thoughts, for he smelled something unusual in this young man.

Zhu Jiading himself has nothing to pay attention to Xiao Ran, the key is that his father Zhu Xuhua is the founding hero of the Shaw Brothers Film Kingdom, and he has a very good personal relationship with Old Man Shao. His eldest brother Zhu Jiaxin is remarkable, he is the chairman of Xiantao Digital Planning Group, and his wife Chen Yiling is also the former Shaw Brothers actress, that is, Chen Meiling's sister. His second brother, Zhu Jialin, seems to be studying bacteriology in the United States.

What does Xiantao Digital do? If you pay close attention to the big-budget films after the mid-90s, you can see the name of Xiantao Digital in the subtitles at the end. This is a well-known post-production company that is definitely unique in Hong Kong.

Xiantao Digital is engaged in computer special effects, including "The Heroes of the Storm" and "Chinese Heroes", as well as "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu".

Xiao Ran took a closer look at this Zhu Jiading, he is indeed a talent, he can't complain, he really can't complain. Xiao Ran, who was smiling straight, looked like a gay man, which made Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia next to him funny and angry.

gave his business card to Zhu Jiading, Xiao Ran didn't say anything, just left here with a smile. Back in the free nest, Xiao Ran began to talk to Wei Dongling about one thing, a major matter related to the development of the phantom.

After sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Ran's expression became very serious, he didn't want Wei Dongling to misunderstand that he was joking: "Adong, I think there is something we have to do." We had to start a team in the production department as soon as possible, the computer effects team! ”

"Computer special effects?" Wei Dongling asked in surprise: "Do you think it is necessary according to the scale of the company?" A few years ago, Shaw Brothers imitated "Star Wars" and made a "Blunt Interstellar Tire", but the result was so bad that it couldn't be sold at all! ”

Rhetorical question, Wei Dongling basically agreed with Xiao Ran's proposal in his heart, because Xiao Ran had never made a mistake in the company's future strategy before, and now he faintly proved how clever these were. Wei Dongling emotionally believed Xiao Ran's proposal, but reason told him that it would never work. So, he needs a reason.

The novel term computer special effects was brought about by Star Wars, but at this time, computer effects were very simple, and they were more like animation effects. It was "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park" that really made computer special effects shine with extraordinary charm, and it was the appearance of these two films that officially announced that computer special effects have become one of the most important ingredients in filmmaking.

Xiao Ran had been thinking about starting a computer special effects team for a long time, but he obviously didn't have the ability to do this at that time. However, it is different now, "Prison Storm" has so far recovered at least 60 million for the Phantom Company. Excluding investment and rewards, the whole film can make at least 50 million profits.

The money he earns at present is to expand the company, which is Xiao Ran's idea. Computer special effects must be done, and they must be bigger, and they must be comparable to Hollywood. However, in terms of technology, it is difficult for Hong Kong to reach the level of Hollywood.

Therefore, to do this, Xiao Ran must acquire a Hollywood film company in order to get real computer special effects talents. Of course, the acquisition is not something that Xiao Ran can do. However, he could have blazed a trail for computer special effects in Hong Kong. Instead of waiting for Zhu Jiaxin to come to Xiantao Digital in the 90s, it was already too late at that time.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ran knew that he had to come up with practical suggestions before he could pass, which was Wei Dongling's stubbornness, and it was also an advantage. After thinking about it, he said in the most plain tone: "Adong, you must have watched "Star Wars", tell me, what do you think of that film? ”

"Shocking shock!" Wei Dongling looked fascinated, he was still studying in the United States at that time, of course he had seen it: "I think I'm afraid it's hard to have a better science fiction movie than this!" ”

"Star Wars relies not only on the story, but also on fantastical special effects, which I think you know too!" Xiao Ran thinks that he doesn't need to continue, just add the following sentence: "Times are always advancing, since Star Wars has paved such a beautiful road for us, why don't we go along with it?" ”

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about!" Seeing that the atmosphere was silent, Guan Xin suddenly interjected: "However, I know that what you said about computer special effects is a technology, and we can't refuse new technology." Especially when making films, the technology will be eliminated when the technology is aging, just like those directors in the past. ”

I don't know how many thoughts turned in his mind, Wei Dongling finally raised his head and stared at Xiao Ran, gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "I'll believe you again, I hope you don't fail!" ”
