During the May Day prime period, in the end, only two movies "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition" and "The Emperor of Shanghai" were left to compete for the title, and the other movies had no power to compete at all.

It is undeniable that both films are rare epic films in recent years, and even the poor-grossing "The Emperor of Shanghai" itself is a very high-quality movie.

In about half a month, the box office of "The Emperor of Shanghai" broke 200 million, plus the last episode that has accumulated 600 million box office, the Shanghai Emperor series has accumulated more than 800 million box office, which is already the best box office film series in the past ten years.

As for "Once Upon a Time", it is even more exaggerated, in just half a month, the box office has broken through the 560 million mark, and now the attendance rate of the two movies has not dropped much, and it still remains above 70%!

Because the dependence on Xiao Ran is getting stronger and stronger, Yida is also paying more and more attention to Xiao Ran, in the previous movies, the global box office of "Mr. Zombie" has accumulated more than 350 million box office, and the global box office of "The Legend of Ip Man" and "The Legend of Ryazan" has exceeded 500 million, which is a milestone for Chinese kung fu movies.

As for the two episodes of "Journey to the West", it got an astonishing box office of 2.3 billion, although the box office performance in Europe and the United States was not good, but it still impressed many audiences in Asia, even "The Best Friend" and "Law Enforcement Pioneer" have accumulated good box office results of 300 million and 600 million respectively, especially "Law Enforcement Pioneer" is a big hit in Europe and the United States, directly entering the ninth place in the annual box office!

In order to stabilize Xiao Ran, the money was quickly settled into Xiao Ran's new company's account.

And those numbers come down. has already reached Xiao Ran's hands with an income of more than one billion, and the speed of accumulating money is amazing. Coupled with the sales share of "Minbao", the novel income of the origin Chinese network. and the huge share of six-star singers and six-star creators on the Ethereal website, in just one year, Xiao Ran has earned more than 2 billion fortunes, and the speed of collecting money is a must!

……

Shaw Films.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Director Xie Wenxuan, I believe you have already seen him in the Golden Dragon Awards, he has now officially joined our Xiao Clan, and I am ready to set up an independent film studio for him."

In the office of the film company Xiao Ran, they gathered together at this time. Almost all the core figures in the company were on the scene, and at this time, Xiao Ran also took the opportunity to introduce Xie Wenxuan, who he had just recruited.

Because Xie Wenxuan's "Don't Accept Your Fate" has won many nominations at the Golden Dragon Awards, and it is the first time he has made a movie, he basically mastered the shooting of the entire movie by himself, and also won a high box office of more than 80 million, which can be regarded as a young talent who can be compared with Xiao Ran.

So now people in the film industry basically know Xie Wenxuan, and as soon as they heard that Xiao Ran recruited him into the company, they immediately began to applaud one by one.

Xie Wenxuan shook hands with the people of the Xiao family class very politely and politely, which can be regarded as a good beginning of understanding.

At this time, Xiao Ran continued to announce: "Now that we have established three film companies, Zhengying Film Company, I plan to always specialize in supernatural films. So for the time being, the fifth senior brother is still in charge, and the Journey to the West series of movies produced by Zhengdong Film Company is now very good, so the fourth senior brother Liu Kui will continue to be in charge of this company, of course, the most important film shooting will still be carried out in Xiao Film Company. And as long as you feel that you are hot enough to master the shooting of a movie, you can continue to open an independent film studio on the Shaw side at any time! ”

In addition to Xiao Ran's words to the seven senior brothers, he also included Wang Wei, who had been recruited before.

"Whether it's the other two studios. Or an independent studio owned by Shaw Films, I will treat them equally. As long as the movie is worth investing in, I will invest in it. So you don't have to worry about me taking sides."

Xiao Ran's words immediately convinced everyone, and then a bunch of people sat around the conference table, Xiao Ran took out three scripts and said: "Now the box office performance of "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition" is very good, and this movie also uses the name of our Xiao Film Company, which is the first shot, and then I hope to continue to make new movies, here are three scripts, I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Fifth Senior Brother, you are responsible for this script."

Xiao Ran handed Wu Zhengying the script of "Mr. Zombie 2", and this movie was naturally handed over to Wu Zhengying to be responsible, and the new "Mr. Zombie 2" Xiao Ran used the plot of "New Mr. Zombie" in his previous life, but in addition to removing some superfluous shots, some new elements were added, and the rhythm of this movie finally became more compact.

In fact, even if it was the original movie in the previous life, it was very interesting, and what Xiao Ran valued most was that under the plot arrangement of this movie, the characters of "Mr. Zombie" could be completely used, mainly with the trio of Uncle Nine and two apprentices not being modified, and then the funny role of Uncle Nine and his sister Aunt Su was added!

This role is naturally handed over to Lu Xueyan to play, and now many viewers like her mean and money-hungry sycophant role in "Best Friend", so Lu Xueyan's position as a funny actress has become more and more solid.

After taking over the script, Wu Zhengying quickly flipped through it, in fact, it has been a few months since the first part of "Mr. Zombie" was drawn, and many viewers are looking forward to the reappearance of the zombie Taoist played by Wu Zhengying, so the appearance of this script is just right.

Xiao Ran summarized that the problem of the poor box office of this movie in his previous life was mainly due to the lack of budget for shooting, and it can be seen that many shots were received very casually, and the action design was not classic, so Xiao Ran repackaged it again.

The problem is that when this movie was launched in its previous life, it was already several years after the box office success of "Mr. Zombie", and there were countless zombie movies in the entire film industry, and the audience was already tired of watching zombie movies, so they naturally didn't bother to watch them anymore.

"In terms of actors, the role of Ah Wei, the security captain of the second senior brother, has been changed to that of the warlord handsome, no problem."

When Wu Zhengying put down the script, he replied when he heard Xiao Ran's question: "Your script is so perfect, of course there is no problem." ”

Xiao Ran said with a smile: "Then the issue of actors' salaries and director's fees, we will calculate the highest salary given by outsiders, of course, if you can trust the quality of this movie, you can also choose to settle it with future box office dividends, and all future movie shootings will be like this." ”

Regarding the treatment of actors' remuneration and director's fees, Xiao Ran still follows the normal form, but gives everyone the highest price and a relatively fairer form of dividends as a choice.

Because these two numbers will change with the rise of fame, Xiao Ran is also following the pace of the market.

Just like Xiao Ran himself, before he entered the film industry, if he was an actor, with the popularity he had accumulated on The Voice of China, he could get a salary of millions for at least one play, which is equivalent to the price of Xiao Ran now to invite popular singers to act, not necessarily coveting their acting skills, but it has an impact of fame.

But if it is Xiao Ran who has won the actor now, the price will be much more expensive, and now if Xiao Ran offers five million for a play, it is estimated that a lot of people are rushing to invite him, and the same is true for other senior brothers, including Xie Wenxuan, after receiving a number of nominations for the Golden Dragon Awards, his worth will naturally rise.

"Wen Xuan, you can see if this script is not suitable for you to do."

When recruiting Xie Wenxuan, Xiao Ran had already thought about which aspect of the movie he was responsible for, so now he directly came up with a new script.

"The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea?"

After taking Xiao Ran's script, Xie Wenxuan took a look at it and was a little surprised by the name of this movie.

"That's right, this movie is mainly about the legendary life of a generation of Cantonese opera screenwriters Nanhai Thirteen Lang Jiang Yubi, he is arrogant, a genius, one person can write several scripts at the same time, but he is arrogant and arrogant, and his script cannot be changed by outsiders...... Just when his screenwriting career was in full swing, it coincided with a national disaster, and then suffered a blow to love and career, coupled with the persecution of his father Jiang Taishi Gong, and finally went insane......"

There is no doubt that "The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" is a literary film, but it is not an ordinary literary film, so Xiao Ran will think it is suitable for Xie Wenxuan to shoot.

"As for the actors here, Jiang Yubiao I think Wenxuan can play it by yourself, and Tang Disheng's role will be handed over to Yaoyang, of course, the other roles will be decided by you, and it is more difficult to direct and act by yourself, so I arranged for Wang Wei to be your assistant director, no problem, right?"

Because it is an independent film studio, Xiao Ran does not want to completely deprive Xie Wenxuan of his dominance, so he still gives him great freedom.

"No problem, I personally like this script very much."

After hearing Xie Wenxuan's answer, Xiao Ran said to Wang Wei: "Then Wang Wei will work hard for you, if this "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" is filmed successfully, I will have another movie that I can hand over to you to completely control." ”

Since Xiao Ran dug Wang Wei into his own company, because he was afraid of his style of making movies and not taking the budget seriously, Xiao Ran didn't dare to give him power, although Wang Wei did have a set of movies, but he had been arranged by Xiao Ran to be an assistant director under other people, which had already made Wang Wei feel a little overkill, but now hearing Xiao Ran's words, Wang Wei finally said extremely excitedly: "Got it, Mr. Xiao!" I will try to do my best. ”

The last script, Xiao Ran handed it to Yuan Biao, but said to him: "Sixth Senior Brother, this new script is written completely according to your temperament, the global box office of "Law Enforcement Pioneer" is good, I will help you set up an independent studio in Xiao's, but this "Police. Cha Story" for the time being, let the fourth senior brother help you shoot together. (To be continued......)
