Yindu Institution was formed in 1982 by the merger of Great Wall, Phoenix and Xinlian, and is a company that is really trying to invest in filmmaking. However, the Hong Kong film industry theoretically knows the background of Yindu, but Xiao Ran has never heard of it.

"There must be something to use, there must be a ......" Xiao Ran even forgot to drink, just patted his head vigorously.

He was thinking that Yindu's funds came from the mainland, and this was undoubted. Twenty years later, there was an uncertain rumor circulating that the merger of the Great Wall, the Phoenix and the New Union was facilitated by the top political axes in the mainland.

It's about control, no, it's not control, it's just about balancing the unfair atmosphere in Hong Kong towards the mainland, and trying to get something that everyone knows. To put it simply, the initial establishment of Yindu may have been largely due to political factors.

Although it is likely that the silver capital existed because of political factors, it was definitely financially strong, and there is no doubt about it. Because in Xiao Ran's impression, there are many politically related films and literary films invested and produced by this silver capital, and the box office is not very good.

And it is in this environment that the company has been able to support the 21st century unscathed, producing hundreds of films in the past two decades, and this financial strength is evident. If you can get the support of this company...... Xiao Ran snickered when he thought of this.

Of course, dreaming is not Xiao Ran's doing, since he has a good goal, then he has to decide what to do. Just as he was thinking about it, a hand slapped him on the shoulder, and he almost jumped straight in fright.

Looking back, it was Zhou Xingchi, and next to him was Liang Chaowei. Xiao Ran hurriedly stood up and asked the two to sit down, and then looked at the two with puzzled eyes, Liang Chaowei was really an empathetic master, and immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant, and explained: "Mr. Xiao, Xingzai said just now that you had a treat, then I have admired it for a while, and I didn't have time to meet at the last Academy Awards, so I came uninvited this time!" ”

I see! Xiao Ran nodded secretly, knowing Liang Chaowei is not a bad thing. So, he smiled slightly: "I can't ask for it, I also want to meet your friend for a long time!" Suddenly, Xiao Ran thought that his smile was especially like Liang Chaowei's calm smile twenty years later, could it be plagiarism again?

Liang Chaowei didn't realize that Xiao Ran was actually a "despicable smiling plagiarist", and he also laughed, showing his white teeth and about to speak, but his eyes looked out of the door but he was stunned. Xiao Ran followed this gaze and looked over, and it was Liu Hua who appeared outside the door.

Liu Hua seemed to be very unhappy, and hesitated for a long time before coming in. Just sat down, Liang Chaowei was suddenly a little embarrassed, Liu Hua's face was also very bad, although it was not to say that he had met the enemy, but he was also quite cold.

This atmosphere is obviously not very good, Xiao Ran doesn't know what Liu Hua and Liang Chaowei have now. However, he found the person, and if this embarrassment continues, it will be boring. Suddenly, he remembered what had happened between the two of them.

This contradiction started from the wireless contract, and the five wireless tigers originally agreed to refuse to sign the contract together, but unexpectedly, only Liang Chaowei temporarily "defected", and naturally became the object of complaint from the other four tigers. Especially Liu Hua himself was hidden in the snow, which is undoubtedly even more annoying in comparison.

Now that he understands the cause, Xiao Ran doesn't believe that there is no way to untie this knot, in fact, he also knows that Zeng Zhiwei invested in the filming of "Five Tigers Break Apart" a year or two later, and he got the wireless Five Tigers done. After raising a lot of money in his stomach, he finally said to Liu Hua: "Andy, in fact, you don't need to worry, as long as you can survive this difficult period, you will definitely be popular, I see it!" ”

Without waiting for Liu Hua to react, Xiao Ran smiled and faced Liang Chaowei: "Wei Zai, in fact, it is also a wise decision for you to stay in wireless!" You both have your own paths, and you don't need to all follow the same path. ”

Liu Hua and Liang Chaowei were confused by Xiao Ran's words, and they didn't understand what Xiao Ran wanted to say. Seeing their expressions, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle secretly: "Andy, Wei Zai, I don't know what you think." However, I think a friend is a friend, even if you can't understand what you do for a while, but it's still a friend, what do you think? ”

The two gradually understood, and Zhou Xingchi also understood something on the side, staring at Xiao Ran with interest. Xiao Ran smiled and waved his hand, showing his bearing: "Hong Kong is such a big place with big fleas, do you want to be so embarrassed and speechless every time you meet?" Or do you want to be enemies for life? ”

Liang Chaowei's mouth moved, and he faintly wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it. Xiao Ran guessed that this must be impossible to pull down, and couldn't help laughing: "I really can't do anything about the two of you, isn't it just a trivial matter, as for making it to the point of hatred for each other today?" Wei Zai, although we have just met, I think it should not be difficult to say sorry. ”

Liang Chaowei puffed up his eyes and stared at Xiao Ran, and the meaning of that expression seemed to be "you come and talk about it". Xiao Ran ignored him, looked at Liu Hua and said with a smile: "Everyone has their own way, just like if you choose not to sign, Wei Zai can also choose to sign." Since you're his friend, you should understand that. If you said something drastic, it's time to apologize. ”

"I'm sorry!" Liu Hua and Liang Chaowei looked embarrassed and slowly stretched out their hands to each other, seeing that the other party's movements were the same as their own, they couldn't help laughing, and a small misunderstanding in the past was quickly eliminated.

In fact, these two people have long had the idea of reconciliation, but they are all young and always have a stubborn temper, and they can't pull it down. Xiao Ran was so verbose for a while, and he took advantage of the situation to step down. Xiao Ran naturally didn't know what they thought, and proudly thought it was his own credit.

Seeing that the two were reconciled as before, Xiao Ran was in a very happy mood, and couldn't help but spit out heroic words for a while: "Let's make a career together!" ”

This move naturally attracted the three of them to cater to it, and then Xiao Ran said that he wanted to be a director. The three of them had different expressions, Liu Hua had a thoughtful look, and Liang Chaowei was surprised. The eyes on Zhou Xingchi's face and eyes were full of envy, which surprised Xiao Ran, he didn't expect Zhou Xingchi to have the idea of being a director now.

Next, the congratulations continued, chatted for a while, and then ate, Xiao Ran comforted Liu Hua, and then left. Only Zhou Xingchi asked Xiao Ran if he could give him a role in the film before leaving, and Xiao Ran only gave him an answer: "Xingzai, what you have to do now is to wait for an opportunity, a chance to become an instant hit, instead of waiting for such a small role." You have to hone your acting skills and be sure that you have the ability to win the award, so that can open the way for you. I'll let you choose by yourself, either give you a role and waste your chance to compete for the Best Newcomer Award, or you can bear with it, and if your career still doesn't improve after a year, it's okay for you to do whatever you want me to do! ”

Next, the bored Xiao Ran went to the cinema to enjoy a film called "Zombie Rebirth", which was not very well made, which made him sigh for a while. It's just that he still has nothing, and he can't do anything to help Hong Kong films.

A few days later, Huang Baiming informed Xiao Ran to go to the company. Xiao Ran was overjoyed, and when he arrived at the company, he saw Huang Baiming, but saw that there were two other people he didn't know in his office. Huang Baiming introduced it, and Xiao Ran knew that the middle-aged man Bi Jingsheng would be the producer of "Eight Star Annunciation", and another much younger woman named Lu Jiazhen would be the film planner.

"Mr. Xiao, we calculated, the budget for this film is like this!" Bi Jingsheng was very responsible and told Xiao Ran the general situation of the budget: "The total salary of the leading actor is 1.3 million, and the remuneration of the actors and supporting roles must be added 300,000. The honorariums for the main behind-the-scenes staff are $500,000 and the other crews are $300,000, depending on the pace of your filming. ”

"The total budget is 4.8 million, excluding the honorarium of 2.4 million, and half of it is used for actual filming and pre- and post-production, which I believe should be enough." This Bi Jingsheng's speech is like making a report, which is extremely old-fashioned, and it is very suitable to be a producer: "Of course, if the film is shot beyond the budget, the company has the right to replace you or stop shooting." ”

"As for the equipment, you can ask Miss Lu, she is in charge of the preliminary preparations!" After saying this, Bi Jingsheng walked to the chair next to him and sat down.

This Miss Lu is not as "cold" as Bi Jingsheng, nodded to Xiao Ran with a smile, and then picked up the information and introduced to Xiao Ran: "Originally, under normal circumstances, the ratio of film should not exceed five to one, but Director Xiao, you are the first time, so we can give you an extra 10,000 feet of film, which is already a big concession." Of course, you can't make a movie without a camera, and we've got six cameras for you, and I'm sure that's enough. As for the mobile car, the track and other filming equipment are ready for you to shoot! ”

Xiao Ran sweats wildly! Five-to-one film ratio! He had heard that Hong Kong filmmakers had a very high utilization rate of film, but he didn't expect it to be so high. In Hollywood, the proportion of film would never be lower than that, or even as high as a dozen to one. Five-to-one means that 50,000 feet of film must be shot with 10,000 feet of usable film, and the scrap rate is quite low.

As if she remembered something, Miss Lu screamed softly, and added with embarrassment: "Also, the script was only about ninety minutes long after it was filmed seriously, so I asked someone to add some more plots, I hope you don't mind." ”

Xiao Ran nodded and said it didn't matter, this was already expected by him, and even the budget figures were not much different from what he had calculated before. Of course, Xiao Ran doesn't think that he can still have 2.4 million yuan in his hands to indulge, don't forget, 60,000 feet of film also costs money. There is also the same cost of renting equipment, which means that there is basically not much money to use before filming starts.

However, Xiao Ran doesn't think that it takes too much money to make this film, it's just a family comedy, and the demand and consumption in all aspects are not too big. The budget is mainly spent on salary, and this is the advantage of comedy. Therefore, when Hong Kong films are in decline, we can see a film company that seems to be brain dead and a shoddy comedy.

Huang Baiming clapped his hands and raised his chin with a smile: "Ah Ran, you are still satisfied with all this, I have done my best as a friend." Don't mess up, or I won't be able to explain it to Boss Lei! ”

Xiao Ran thought that he had taken five blockbuster scripts as a bet in exchange for the opportunity, but he was never grateful or indebted. However, he really couldn't help but thank Huang Baiming for everything he had prepared for him, with these preparations, what he needed to do was much simpler.

"As for the actors, Fa Zai's schedule is okay, but Zhong Chuhong's schedule can not be adjusted much. However, she said that this is your first time as a director, and she has to find time anyway! Huang Baiming's face was clearly envious, but this was not envious. Xiao Ran's appearance is already likable, and his healthy black skin gives him a sense of reliability and honesty, which can naturally win the sincere love of all stars.

(I'm roaring wow, wow, wow, wow, Lin JJ is definitely with the protagonist, as for whether there are others, I'm not sure at the moment.) The only thing that is certain is that there is absolutely no Fang Ruoxin, understand? Don't you torture me anymore, haven't I just done something wrong? Can't I change it? 55555…… Also, because the content of the novel is too large, it is inevitable that there will be omissions and errors, so please be sure to point them out. I'll definitely follow up on everyone's criticism)

(Finally, I am rushing to the top of the list, clicking, recommending, and collecting, none of which is missing.) Help, help)
