Throughout September, although Xiao Ran had already passed the quarterfinals of The Voice of China, and there was still a month of preparation time before the next semi-finals, he was very busy!

The songs that need to be sung in the battle of the top four, Xiao Ran has already thought about and prepared them, and even for the original works for Xiao Xiao and Tang Yun, Xiao Ran has already composed the music and written the lyrics and sent them to their personal mailbox.

In terms of novels, Xiao Ran on the side of the origin Chinese network has already finished writing the plot of "Tomb of God", and even "Breaking the Sky" has written nearly two million words, and there are many manuscripts on hand, and updating is not a problem for him at all.

As for the novel column of "Minbao", it had already been written half of the new book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that was about to be taken over when "Dragon Babu" was not finished, but he was still very busy!

Because of the new two scripts, Xiao Ran has already written, and the casting has also been mentioned to the two big directors, the production companies of these two films are led by Xingyi City Film Company, and although the logo of Struggle Film Company will also appear in the film, it will be ranked after Xingyi City.

As for profits, Xiao Ran also gave dividends to Yuan Ba and Xu Guangwen to help, because at this stage, there is no director in Xingyi City who can use it, as for the new director Wang Wei recruited by Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, who is relatively tight for the time being, does not dare to let him go casually.

Although Xiao Ran has accumulated more than 20 million income through the music sharing of Tiana.com, and several novels on "Minbao" and the origin Chinese network can also bring tens of millions of income!

After all, in addition to the "Minbao" receiving all the manuscript fees for "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", as well as the high dividends that have not yet been serialized in "Tianlong Babu", the books on the online literature have just been put on the shelves, and the electronic income is very small, and the income is basically based on the rewards of more than 1,000 alliance leaders and several big alliances, and there is also the copyright fee of "Tomb of God" sold for millions of dollars.

In addition, it is the 50 million dividend given by Lu Yuesheng, which is not only the script share of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but also as a thank you for the miraculous effect of the promotional MV of "Tai Chi".

is so full of calculations, Xiao Ran can barely be called a net worth of nearly 100 million, but if this money is used to invest in movies, it will not make a splash if it is smashed!

Not to mention other movies, the investment in "Tai Chi" alone is more than 40 million, and the investment and publicity cost of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is close to 60 million!

So Xiao Ran's little money to invest in one movie may be enough, but it is a bit reluctant to invest in two at the same time.

Because Yida Group has already spoken, if Wang Wei, the pit director, is enabled, then the company will not invest in the new film, and Xiao Ran can invest and operate the whole movie independently, but the loss is also Xiao Ran's personal ......

So Xiao Ran hasn't reached the realm of not taking tens of millions of things seriously at this time, so Wang Wei, this guy, let's abandon it for the time being!

The choice of Yuan Ba and Xu Guangwen as directors is also to ensure the quality of the film, after all, they are all teams that have cooperated, and they are all subsidiaries of Yida Group.

After the script and actors were in place, the two films also began to shoot at the same time.

Because Xiao Ran also wrote the storyboard scripts for the two movies, it was not difficult to shoot, and the main cast members are basically familiar members of the Xiao family, plus these people have already signed a contract with Struggle Film Company, so the problem of schedule no longer exists.

However, for the sake of box office appeal, Yida Group still arranged for several well-known movie superstars to join in and play some supporting roles in the movie.

Of course, when it comes to publicity, the audience will definitely still see the names of these movie superstars printed on various promotional magazines and movie posters, which is also for the sake of the box office.

After all, the current leading actors are all new actors who are less famous and have no masterpieces, even if the screenwriter is Xiao Ran and the directors are Xu Guangwen and Yuan Ba, not necessarily every audience will buy it.

In addition to arranging the script and serving as the producer of the two plays, Xiao Ran also has to do his best to select suitable talents from the professional filmmakers who came to Chengcheng.

Although he is very famous now, there are not a few film talents who are willing to join Xingyi City, but Xiao Ran's selection criteria are that one of them needs to be able to match the type of movie he is going to shoot later, and the other also needs the kind of talent who is not too famous, not too short-tempered, and most importantly, not too characterful!

Because of the future development model of Xingyi City, Xiao Ran hopes that he will provide the script and then supervise the whole process, while Yida Group is responsible for the investment of funds and the arrangement of the theater chain, as for the positions such as producer, director and assistant director, Xiao Ran hopes that they will become tools to serve the film, rather than artists!

Xiao Ran has absolute confidence in his next scripts and movies, so he doesn't need that kind of artist who is too thoughtful, he just needs to be a professional film talent, and it is enough to be able to coordinate and make a good movie according to his command!

When Xiao Ran was still watching various types of movies in Xingyi City, hoping to find the film talents he needed, his private number rang.

After participating in The Voice of China before, Xiao Ran's mobile phone number and home number were once exposed, and the director's phone calls were never answered, which had a great impact on his life, so he could only abandon all the numbers he used before.

Now it is a new number, only a few people know, and Xiao Ran also made notes to these people, so Xiao Ran still feels a little strange about a strange call, but in his heart it is estimated that it is some advertising or insurance calls.

Unexpectedly, after picking up the phone, the other party was a relatively low male voice: "Mr. Xiao, Boss Lu has something to talk to you about." ”

Although this voice was not loud, Xiao Ran could hear it at once, it should be the voice of Wang Baogang, Lu Yuesheng's bodyguard and secretary.

Wang Baogang is also one of the few people who has Xiao Ran's private number, so as soon as he heard Wang Baogang's voice, Xiao Ran said: "I'm here in Xingyi City Company." ”

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Wang Baogang said politely: "Then I'll send someone to pick you up!" ”

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran continued his work, and less than half an hour later, he received a text message on his mobile phone: "Mr. Xiao, I am already waiting for you at the door, can you come out conveniently?" ”

Xiao Ran didn't reply to the message, but walked out of the company directly, and did see a Bentley RV at the gate, the person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, although he was much older than Xiao Ran, but when he saw Xiao Ran, he said very politely: "Hello Mr. Xiao, I'm here to pick you up." ”
