Chapter 186: Poaching Turmoil
For the time being, Xiao Ran has only written these three scripts, not that his creative speed is too slow, in fact, Xiao Ran has firmly remembered every detail in these scripts.
If you really want to write, Xiao Ran can write ten or eight in a day, but it's useless to have more.
Because Xiao Ran doesn't have so many people to shoot too many movies now, for example, after the three scripts on hand are sent out, there will definitely be conflicts in the schedules of some personnel, and they can only coordinate by themselves.
This is why Xiao Ran wants to open an independent film studio for them, that is, I hope that they can help them share some of it, and they don't have to wait for Xiao Ran to make decisions about the big and small affairs of every movie.
The three movies were quickly started and put into filming, and now Xiao Ran, who is already not short of money, has also given a lot of budget.
The budget of almost all three movies is more than 50 million, which shows Xiao Ran's generosity.
And the next day, in the office of Xiao Film, which was also Xiao Ran, received another news.
"Xiao Ran, Jiayi is beginning to prepare to invest in the production of a large-scale kung fu movie!"
When his father Xiao Yuanshan brought the news, Xiao Ran felt very strange, although there are a lot of theaters on the side of Jiayi Cinema Line, they are basically small-scale theaters, so even if Jiayi starts shooting new movies, it is basically based on small-scale movies, how can he have the courage to start a large-scale kung fu movie this time?
"Doesn't make sense? Even if Jiayi is a box office hit in the Shanghai Emperor series of the Encyclopedia, there are many eyes and ears of Yuan Xiaojun. Surely you can also find out that these two movies are the scripts I gave? ”
In fact, since Xiao Ran cooperated with Encyclopedia and sold a script, he was not prepared to hide this matter. is not afraid that Lu Yuesheng will know, because what he does is to hope that Lu Yuesheng will not make small moves behind his back!
And Jiayi's side should naturally be clear, but after the Shanghai Emperor series was sold, Jiayi's Yuan Xiaojun did not send anyone to contact Xiao Ran, but now it is rumored that a large-scale Zuò kung fu movie is being filmed, so where did the script and director come from?
In the case of the satellite companies that have been making small production zuò on Jiayi's side, they are not capable of making large-scale zuò movies at all!
"I heard that Director Xu was poached!"
"Xu Guangwen?"
This result shocked Xiao Ran very much. At the recently concluded Huaxia Film Golden Dragon Awards, Xu Guangwen won the award for Best Director, which can be regarded as a regret for many years. Thus doubling his worth.
At this time, if Jiayi poachs, it is indeed the best time.
Because on Yida's side, Xu Guangwen only occupies 15% of the shares of Struggle Film Company, even if he has made several very profitable movies. But the money that fell into Xu Guangwen's pocket was not much.
For example, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is independently produced by Struggle Film Company. With hundreds of millions of global box office after deducting the theater share and cost budget, there are only one or two million left in Xu Guangwen's hands, even if the situation of "The Legend of Ip Man" and "Tai Chi" is similar.
Compared with Zhengdong Film Company, which Xiao Ran invested and controlled independently, a Journey to the West series has shared nearly one billion in revenue, which really makes Xu Guangwen red-eyed.
In fact, Xu Guangwen's directing ability is very strong, especially when there is no one to be loved by Yida Cinemas, his ability is even more apparent. Among the three musketeers of Yida, Yuan Baye is good at martial arts. But literary drama is not good, and Chen Guoxin is good at making literary films, but he often commits the second disease and makes some movies that only he can understand......
Only Xu Guangwen is the one who plays the most stable, but since Xiao Ran joined Yida, he gradually took away Xu Guangwen's gold resources, and Xu Guangwen began to be reluctant to stay under Yida.
So this time, when he got the best director and his value doubled, Jiayi seized this good opportunity to poach, as long as he promised that after Jiayi, he could get the same status as Xiao Ran in Yida, then Xu Guangwen would naturally be moved.
And Jiayi at the moment not only lacks a good script, but also lacks good talents, so the two sides naturally hit it off.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing and said: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, it is not an accident that Director Xu made such a decision, it should be Lu Yuesheng who should really have a headache, not us!" ”
In fact, as Xiao Ran said, it should be Lu Yuesheng who is really poached and has a headache, because now that there is one less pillar, he can only move all his resources to Xiao Ran's team.
In fact, Xu Guangwen was poached, but it was a good thing for Xiao Ran.
Now in addition to Xiao Ran's nature, Wang Wei and Xie Wenxuan, Wu Zhengying and Liu Kui are all directors who can take charge of themselves, plus their father and Lei brothers, as well as Sanmao and Yaoyang, are all first-class actor resources, which are firmly in Xiao Ran's hands, so even if Yida Group wants to have a stable film source in the future, it can only rely more and more on Xiao Ran......
For Xiao Ran, his biggest advantage is that in the team in his hand, except for Wang Wei and Xie Wenxuan, the others are all his own people!
In other words, no matter who wants to poach people from him, it is not so easy, not to mention that the business model of Xiao Ran's three film companies is that Xiao Ran takes out the script and invests, and then the rest of the people are responsible for implementation.
In other words, Xiao Ran is the backbone of these people, and at the same time, Xiao Ran is also the most powerful trump card in the entire film industry at this time, the quality assurance of the movie in the eyes of the audience, and the box office guarantee in the eyes of the theater party......
……
Yanjing Lu family.
"Born to be a boneless, unfamiliar guy!"
Lu Xueyan, who had just returned home from filming "Mr. Zombie 2", suddenly heard a loud noise, it turned out that her father heard the news that Xu Guangwen was poached when he was eating, and he was so angry that he even smashed the bowl.
Lu Xueyan doesn't know much about the operation of Yida Group, but she has liked watching movies very much since she was a child, and it is precisely because of this that she agreed to follow Xiao Ran to film and enjoy it.
And Lu Xueyan also heard that Xu Guangwen was originally poached from other film companies during the rapid development of Yida Cinema Line, so the boss of that film company directly made Lu Yuesheng completely unable to mix in the film industry.
But Xu Guangwen, who has been dug up now, has been poached by Jiayi, which makes Lu Yuesheng, who has spent a lot of effort at the beginning, inevitably so angry.
And although Xu Guangwen is not as good as Xiao Ran, at least there are very few movies shot by Xu Guangwen that lose money, and he can be regarded as a general under Yida, and now he will poach it, so Lu Yuesheng will have no one available except for Xiao Ran.
Of course, Yuan Baye, who just won the best action design, can be regarded as an absolute film talent, but the ability to control a scene alone is not enough.
Lu Xueyan, who had never seen her father lose her temper so much, was still staying at the scene at the moment, and just wanted to leave immediately, but just when she was sneaky and wanted to escape, she was stopped by Lu Yuesheng: "Come here, I have something to ask you." ”
Lu Xueyan has been not afraid of heaven and earth all her life, but when she saw her own Lao Tzu, she was a little timid, so she could only walk over at this time, only to hear Lu Yuesheng ask: "Which drama are you filming now?" ”
"Mr. Zombie Part 2."
After Lu Xueyan answered truthfully, Lu Yuesheng continued: "The box office of the previous part was good, and this sequel should not be too bad, do you have many scenes?" ”
Lu Xueyan continued to answer: "There are quite a lot, this time I play the younger sister of the protagonist Uncle Jiu." ”
"Then how is your relationship with Xiao Ran?"
"What's the relationship?"
What Lu Xueyan is most afraid of is that her father asks this question, in fact, she has already thought of Lu Yuesheng's purpose for letting her join Xiao Ran's team, so when filming "The Best Friend". Lu Xueyan chose to boycott, but the result did not threaten Xiao Ran at all.
Now although Lu Xueyan's attitude towards Xiao Ran has changed a lot, she still likes women more, so let her take the initiative to pursue Xiao Ran, how can it be?
But Lu Yuesheng still didn't give up: "If it's okay, just get in touch with Xiao Ran more, maybe there will be a spark in a while, and now Xu Guangwen's anti-bone boy has also been poached, and the problem of the source of Yida Cinemas is mainly solved by Xiao Ran." ”
While speaking, Lu Yuesheng's mobile phone suddenly rang, and as soon as he answered the phone, Lu Yuesheng asked, "Is there any news from the nail we arranged at Jiayi?" No? What do you eat...... I don't care what method you use, I want to know as much as possible what type of movie the traitor surnamed Xu collaborated with Jiayi? Who else is the main cast? And when will the filming start? Did there any conflict occur during the detailed filming process? When will it be released? You have to find out everything for me, and then report it all to me......"
called to report that it was Hu Wei, the general manager of Yida's cinema line, and after hearing Lu Yuesheng's words, Hu Wei hurriedly responded: "Okay, Mr. Lu!" ”
Things had already happened, and Lu Yuesheng felt that regaining anger could not solve the problem, so he quickly calmed down: "What happened to the box office of our two prime-time movies with Encyclopedia now?" ”
Hu Wei, as the general manager of the theater chain, has always been staring at the box office, so he immediately replied: "Encyclopedia's "Shanghai Emperor: The Hero of the World" has been released for 27 days, with a cumulative total box office of 350 million, and our "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition" has been released for 25 days now, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 900 million! ”
"Good!"
This number finally reassured Lu Yuesheng: "Do you know which movies Xiao Ran is preparing to shoot next?" ”
Hu Wei has always arranged for someone to be in Xiao Ran's film company, so he knew as soon as he asked: "Now the east side is filming the modern police film "Police. Check the story", and Zhengying is filming "Mr. Zombie 2", and there is also a literary film "The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" shot by Xie Wenxuan, an independent director who was newly dug by Xiao Ran.
