Chapter 127: Zombie Dao Leader
Now in Xingyi City, the main personnel are basically complete, especially with the support of Yida Group, it will not be a problem in terms of cinema release and funding in the future.
And Xiao Ran seems to be able to only get 40% of the profits, but he doesn't need to pay a penny himself, any expenses of the entire Xingyicheng Film Company, as well as future film investment, are all responsible for Yida Group, Xiao Ran only needs to be responsible for the screenwriter and producer, and he can already get forty percent of the box office profits, which is already a very exaggerated figure.
What's more, Xiao Ran's idea is to first use the funds of Yida Group to cultivate the team in his hands, and when he has a first-class team in his hand, and after he is more famous in the industry, he will naturally have more negotiation capital, after all, it is not very competitive to rely on a few scripts at hand now.
Moreover, Xiao Ran promised Lu Yuesheng that the condition was that Xingyi City would shoot at least five movies every year, but Xiao Ran did not promise that he could not invest in other companies to start making movies.
After the box office hit of the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Struggle Film Company held a grand celebration banquet.
After the celebration banquet, Endeavor Film Company also announced at the press conference that it was cooperating with Xiao Ran's Xingyicheng Film Company to start filming two kung fu movies with the theme of Wing Chun at the same time, which also attracted headlines from countless newspapers.
After all, Xiao Ran's status is not what it used to be, it is no longer the period when Xu Guangwen wanted to buy out a script for 200,000 yuan, after a successful case of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Xiao Ran opened a new film company, and the script written by himself cooperated with Struggle Film Company, and the combination of the two is a big headline in itself!
At the press conference, in addition to Xiao Ran, Xu Guangwen and Ba Ye attracting much attention, the newly released martial arts stars under the Struggle Film Company also attracted countless reporters to take pictures.
For example, Lin Qingqing, who played the undefeated Dongfang in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", is full of heroism, so although the interpretation of this role is not as good as Xiao Ran's impression in his previous life, he has been able to reach eighty.
It can only be said that although good actors can interpret every role well, some roles seem to be really born for some people, and if they are interpreted by other actors, they will feel that they are still a little hot after all.
Of course, it may also be the reason for Xiao Ran's preconceived ideas, anyway, now after the launch of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Lin Qingqing's expression has still received the affirmation and support of many fans, which shows that this role has been successfully shaped.
In addition, the chic and drunken and uninhibited Ling Hu Chong actor Chen Zhijie is also good, he has always been distinguished by playing this kind of role, so it is also very measured to take it out.
Moreover, this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" also brought out a lot of eye-catching supporting roles, such as Xiao Ran's father Xiao Yuanshan played the domineering and unparalleled former Sun and Moon God Sect Director Wu Xing in the play, which was interpreted very well, so that in the middle and late stages of the whole play, when Ren Xing appeared, every audience was attracted.
So now many movie magazines have begun to tout that Xiao Yuanshan will definitely win this year's Golden Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actor, although the Golden Dragon Award ceremony will have to wait until April next year, and it is a bit too early to tout now, but to be able to get so many professional film magazines affirmation, it still depends on Xiao Yuanshan's performance is really good!
There are also several Xiao family class disciples who play the island country ronin and Huashan disciples, who are also very high-profile, at least there are already individual fans who can remember their names, instead of calling them the elders of the Xiao family class who have always been dominated by Xiao Ran's father and son in the past.
Xiao Ran is naturally very happy about the box office success of the whole "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but what is even happier is that this drama has made all the members of the Xiao family class start to get on the right track, and they are becoming more and more like professional actors.
For this reason, Xiao Ran also began to think about how to let these senior brothers also start to carry the banner alone, first of all, in the two Wing Chun movies "The Legend of Ryazan" and "The Legend of Ip Man" that are being filmed now, they have basically been filmed, and this time the trailers of the two movies have been announced at the press conference.
But in these two movies, Lei Xiaohu and Xiao Yuanshan have the most scenes, and the other brothers are basically supporting roles, after all, not everyone can have the opportunity and strength to play the leading role, and there is no way to do it.
For this reason, Xiao Ran is also thinking about the future way out for the other senior brothers, and the first to make him make a decision is the fifth senior brother Wu Zhengying, because he is a person who advocates superstition, so he is born to be a qualified supernatural horror film star, and this kind of role generally does not have too high requirements for appearance and figure.
So Xiao Ran made up his mind to portray Wu Zhengying as an image of a zombie Taoist and help him shoot a zombie movie, a movie that can make fans all over the world remember this image.
……
After the press conference, Xiao Ran had actually put forward this idea to Yida Group, because Yida Group is now the main investor of Xingyi City Film Company, so it is understandable to inform them of the theme and script of the movie they filmed.
Moreover, Yida Group attaches great importance to and respects Xiao Ran's decision, and Xiao Ran has received a call in less than two days.
"Hello Xiao Ran, I'm Tao Huawen."
Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Xiao Ran immediately knew that the woman who called was Lu Yuesheng's wife, the source of the name of the most famous five-star hotel in Yanjing, the Chinese Hotel, Lu Xueyan's mother, and also held an important position in Yida Group.
For Lu Xueyan's straw bag, Xiao Ran may not pay attention to and care about what she thinks, but Tao Huawen Xiao Ran naturally still appreciates and respects her very much.
"Hello Mrs. Lu."
After hearing Xiao Ran's greetings, Tao Huawen said: "Xiao Ran, I have already read the script of "Mr. Zombie" that you are going to start filming, and the initial investment budget of 30 million has also been approved, you can prepare to start filming at any time, but in private, I still have a little opinion, although your script is indeed well written, but the box office of supernatural movies has continued to decline recently, you better not put too much thought into it......"
Mrs. Lu's tone is very polite, everyone knows that Xiao Ran is now recognized as the most promising god-level screenwriter in the film industry, Mrs. Lu will not doubt his screenwriting talent, but she is still a little worried about shooting supernatural zombie movies.
