Chapter 196 Game Rules
"If Xiao Ran wants to rule the film industry, he must walk over my corpse!"
In the Jiahe headquarters office, Zou Wenhuai was so angry that he slapped the table with his palm, knocking over all the tea on it. He Guanchang listened quietly. After all, Zou Wenhuai was the chairman of the board of directors of Jiahe Group, and He Guanchang was certainly one of the directors.
One, but you still have to obey his orders.
"I really didn't expect that a young boy four years ago would be able to make it today. I don't believe that his luck can last forever!" Zou Wenhuai, an old ginger, is still full of spiciness, and he is both disdainful and fearful of Xiao Ran.
"It's hard for us to defeat him. This man is ambitious, powerful, and scheming. Just watch him do three things today and win the Film Association in one fell swoop!" He Guanchang sighed. In his opinion,
, there is no point in being an enemy of Xiao Ran: "Besides, he is still very young and has a lot of future. We are getting older, and after all, we cannot be as good as him in attacking cities and fortresses, so we should concentrate on our career!"
"Impossible, I will never allow anyone to interfere in my field!" Zou Wenhuai grew increasingly resentful and looked at He Guanchang coldly: "Achang, the purpose of our founding Jiahe more than ten years ago was not to witness the fall of Jiahe.
The Shaw Brothers were defeated by us, and it is impossible for the Phantom to beat us this time!"
Is it really possible to fight? He Guanchang sighed in his heart, with Jiahe's current strength, how can he fight against the phantom? If he can follow the path paved by Xiao Ran, he can also get some support like Debao and Tianluo.
and help, and then impact the market again, it is still a way.
If we have to fight to the death with the Phantom... He Guanchang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. What else is there to fight for? Jiahe's popularity has dropped significantly, and Tianluo and Debao have implicitly replaced it. The hearts of actors and filmmakers
They are all moving towards the phantom, so what are they fighting against?
Maybe it’s really time to retire! He Guanchang let out a long sigh. He thought that if he still wanted to live a happier life for the rest of his life, he’d better get out as soon as possible! Just as he was thinking about it, the secretary suddenly opened the door and came in, followed closely by three Dongfang
Guy with human face.
The guy in the lead smiled when he saw the two of them. He spoke some Japanese, and a translator behind him explained: "Chairman Zou, Mr. He, I'm glad to see you. This time, I am Ying Zou.
I came here to discuss investment matters at the request of the chairman..."
He Guanchang was suddenly shocked. When did Zou Wenhuai discuss financing with the Japanese? He didn't even know! He only felt disappointed and helpless in his heart. He didn't expect that Zou Wenhuai couldn't even trust him, an old minister who founded Jiahe...
…
And three days later, the boss who had walked away from the Film Association meeting was in a daze, full of bitterness and anger. Standing in front of him was one of the representatives of the Philippine theater chain, who spoke with a very dry expression.
Chinese told him: "Terminate all contracts!"
The thin boss was very angry. He knew that Xiao Ran would resort to tricks, but he didn't expect that he would be so ruthless and cut off his distribution network all at once. Although it was not big, it was already the whole company.
You know, he has heard the same words three times on the phone before, which means that his company has completely lost its distribution business.
Fifteen minutes later, Yonggao Cinemas called and informed him that it would no longer show films produced by his company. But the nightmare was not over yet. In less than half an hour, the investment boss sent a representative to express his concern in a simple sentence.
Own position: "We divest!"
Wu Yaohan, Feng Suifan and other actors were filming a movie for his company, but now they also came in front of him. Feng Suifan scratched his head and said apologetically to the thin boss: "I'm sorry, Huang
Anyway, we have decided to withdraw from the show, and I hope this won’t be too hard for you!”
"Just wait to receive my lawyer's letter!" The thin boss's name is Huang Yinglong. In fact, he is not very old, but he has suffered a lot since he was a child, which makes him look older. I saw his face flushed with anger and he asked
The actors yelled: "You bunch of dishonest bastards!"
Several people smiled helplessly. In fact, they didn't want to do this. After all, they had cooperated several times. However, now the whole industry knew that Huang Yinglong offended Xiao Ran three days ago. It would be lucky not to end up in the same situation as Fang Ruohai.
Yes.
Moreover, half an hour ago, the entire bank was notified that Xiao Ran wanted the company to close down within three hours. All staff did not have to worry about contract issues, so they all sided with Phantom without any choice.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over!" Huang Yinglong murmured to himself expressionlessly, but his eyes showed despair and his face was ashen. He never expected that Xiao Ran would be so cruel and insisted on driving him away and killing him.
.
Now that the big boss's funds have been withdrawn, the distribution line has also been cut off, and it can't even be released locally. Huang Yinglong knows that if there is no withdrawal of funds, or there are no other means, he can still negotiate with Jiahe for release. But now that the funds have been withdrawn, his company
I have a bank loan, what should I use to repay it?
He could even guess that in less than half an hour, the seizure officers and debt collectors sent by the bank would come. Because he believed that since Xiao Ran had done so ruthlessly and calculated every aspect so carefully, there was really no reason to let him go.
This last method can drive him to a dead end.
He did not sit still and waited, but stumbled up to the rooftop. His face, which was originally a deathly gray color, suddenly turned red, as if he had drank a pound of Erguotou, but the despair in his eyes still did not retreat.
Didi, didi, Big Brother rang. It was the secretary calling, telling him that the bank had sent a seizure officer. Huang Yinglong smiled miserably, walked slowly to the edge of the rooftop, and stared at the toy-car-like cars and ant-sized pedestrians below.
. He knew that he would be free if he jumped down, but what about his wife and children?
Is it interesting to carry a lot of debt in this life? Huang Yinglong suddenly laughed, his smile was so sad and terrifying. He regretted it now. If he had not confronted Xiao Ran three days ago because of his stubborn personality, he would have
I am still relaxed and happy staying in the office and enjoying the air conditioning.
In fact, he knew he was wrong the next day, very wrong, because the proposal made by Xiao Ran did not necessarily harm their interests. Because Xiao Ran promised that as long as the film was given to Phantom for distribution, Phantom was willing to take less money within a year.
Commission is used to make up for the increase in production costs.
Hate it! Let’s forget it! Huang Yinglong closed his eyes and was about to take a step forward, but felt that his arms were suddenly grabbed by someone. When he opened his eyes and saw that the person grabbing him was always
The taller one of the two bodyguards following Xiao Ran.
At the same time, Xiao Ran was admiring Shuxiang's newly founded "Red" magazine in his CEO's office. This replaced "Influence" as a weekly magazine published within the industry. Originally, "Influence" was originally published internally.
, but later I discovered that the magazine was very popular among ordinary citizens, so I simply made it aimed at all readers.
"Red" is a magazine that is truly industry-oriented. It usually contains information about what roles a certain company needs, or what talents a certain record company needs. It has quite a lot of internal information about the industry. This first issue
A total of eleven thousand copies were sold.
Xiao Ran had two intentions in founding this magazine. First, he wanted to use this magazine to expand the influence of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, just like Hollywood's "Variety" and "Hollywood" reported on these two internal publications. Second, he wanted to use this magazine to expand the influence of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Come discover buried talents.
Whether he can make money is another matter. However, Xiao Ran believes that he can make money. Currently, there are as many as 18,000 people working in the film industry in Hong Kong. And such internal magazines are generally available to everyone.
, calculated in this way, the sales volume is not terribly bad.
After briefly flipping through the magazine and nodding with satisfaction, he opened the complete roster that he had obtained after a long investigation. Of course, it was not the roster of the Red Flower Club in "Fang Shiyu", but the roster of Hong Kong film practitioners.
Xiao Ran tried to find some talents among them that he had missed before, but unfortunately, there were not many talents that he really remembered. Many of the names were just familiar, and this list may not be complete.
According to the beginning of the letter, I found the H page. After browsing for a long time, I still couldn't find the names of two outstanding people, Huang Yinghua and Huang Jiaqian. Huang Yinghua's ability to control the soundtrack is extremely rare in the Chinese film industry.
, he adopted the "
Folk music such as "The Order of the General", "The Order of the Sichuan General", "Ambush from Flying Daggers", "East China Sea Fishermen's Song", "Small Knife Club Suite", "Heroes Defeat the Dadu River", etc., can be integrated very delicately, and
It makes people feel that the atmosphere is excellent, which is absolutely rare.
Xiao Ran vaguely remembered that Huang Yinghua had won the 14th Academy Awards in history. Suddenly, he remembered that Huang Yinghua had only returned to Hong Kong in 1994 to join the film industry. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
As for Huang Jiaqian, Xiao Ran actually doesn't value it as much as he thought, because he has very few works. The only ones in his impression are "The Birth of a Prefix", "The Story of the Boss", and "Big Brother". However, these may be considered.
A relatively talented musician.
It's a pity that Xiao Ran's favorite top scorer is still not among this group. Needless to say, Xiao Ran's depression is needless to say. If he can get Zhong Zhirong, he will really be even more powerful in the movie soundtrack.
However, after flipping through it, he actually saw a familiar name on it - Zheng Zhaoqiang! Xiao Ran's heart beat suddenly. If it was really the Zheng Zhaoqiang in his memory, then he had really found a treasure.
After just glancing at the films and positions that Zheng Zhaoqiang participated in, Xiao Ran was sure that this was the top master he wanted. Don't ask where so many top masters come from, Xiao Ran can say without exaggeration that for more than ten years
Later, Galaxy Image gathered the talents with the highest production standards in Hong Kong.
Zheng Zhaoqiang was Adu's official photographer in history, and the "PTU" in Xiao Ran's impression was shot by him. This guy's use of cameras and understanding of light have simply reached an otherworldly level, especially when capturing motion.
The balance between the feeling and the sense of stillness can be said to have reached a peak.
Without Zheng Zhaoqiang’s manipulation of photography, it would be difficult for Adu to express emotions and themes through pictures. Even Zheng Zhaoqiang’s later disciple Tao Hongwu was a very sharp photographer. However, what surprised Xiao Ran was that Brother Zheng was still
Photographer who worked on "Play Back to School".
Calculated in this way, he can barely be regarded as a Phantom. Xiao Ran found a red pen and drew a circle on it, and wrote "sign" on it. Signing was equivalent to elevating Zheng Zhaoqiang to a position similar to Huang Yongheng.
Because currently there are not many photographers signed by Phantom, but they are all top-notch photographers.
While sifting through the strong men in his memory, An Yuxuan's voice floated out from the phone: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Yangguang and Mr. Huang are here!"
"Invite him in!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, his eyes still staying on the roster. Personally speaking, he admired Huang Yinglong, but it was a pity that now was the period when he had to use iron fist to rule the Hong Kong film industry. Anyone who dared to
Anyone who challenges the Phantom must be eliminated.
Huang Yinglong, whose face was still gray, came in. Huang Yinglong saw Xiao Ran working at his desk at a glance. He didn't understand why Xiao Ran wanted to see him since he had destroyed his company. Was it to humiliate him?
"Here you are? Sit down!" Xiao Ran looked at the list quietly and drew a circle on it again. Then he raised his head and stared at Huang Yinglong, who looked not very good. Then he chuckled and said: "Mr. Huang, sit down and let's slow down."
Chat slowly!”
"Do you think there is anything else we can talk about?" Huang Yinglong was desperate now. If he could, he would even pounce on Xiao Ran and strangle him to death.
"Mr. Huang, I think you must want to kill me now!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly. He would definitely have such thoughts: "However, don't forget the rules I set. If you break the rules of the game, you must do it.
Accept the punishment!"
"Why do you make the rules? Why do you want everyone to listen to you!" Huang Yinglong opened his mouth without even thinking about it. As soon as he said this, he knew that he was terribly wrong.
"Why? Why do you ask me? Hahaha!" Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing loudly, and suddenly stopped laughing and looked into Huang Yinglong's eyes: "Just because I am Xiao Ran, now do you think I am qualified to make rules?
Chapter completed!
