Chapter 37 Reporting

At the celebration banquet of the movie "Nightclub" on November 20, when Jiang Ran told the bosses of the three major theater chains that Ran Feng would control the output of the movie, Jiang Ran could obviously see that Run Run Shaw, Zou Wenhuai and others were collectively relieved.

It's no wonder that several theater companies are wary of Jiang Ran's Ran Feng, it's really Jiang Ran who is too outstanding in this year's film market, and the pressure that Ran Feng has brought to other film companies in Hong Kong this year is too great.

As a newly established film company, it has only produced two films, but it has won the first and third places in the annual box office list, and it can be said that it has surpassed the three major theater companies in terms of the performance of a single movie.

Such a 100% success rate of film production, coupled with Jiang Ran's ability to plan and publicize the film, as well as Jiang Ran's own financial resources, have made the three major cinema companies have scruples about Jiang Ran and his Ranfeng Film Company.

Now Jiang Ran said in front of them that Ran Feng will control the output of films, which at least shows that Jiang Ran has no plans to enter the film market on a large scale now, and it will not have an impact on the fundamental interests of the three major cinema companies at this stage.

Although the movie celebration banquet is over, the impact of the movie "Nightclub" is far from over. The next day, all major media in Hong Kong reported on the celebration banquet held by Ranfeng Film Company. After all, this celebration banquet can be said to include more than half of the Hong Kong filmmakers, and the bosses of the three major cinema companies attended in person, which added influence to this banquet.

Yesterday, the movie "Nightclub" held a celebration banquet at the Peninsula Hotel, which was attended by most of the filmmakers in Hong Kong, including Mr. Run Run Shaw of Shaw Brothers, Mr. Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest and Mr. Lui Juekwan of Golden Princess. ”

"Ming Pao" adhered to its consistent position and reported on the banquet more objectively.

"Will another film giant rise in Hong Kong? Jiang Ran, a young man in his twenties, has become another powerful figure in Hong Kong films?"

The Oriental Daily newspaper included pictures of Jiang Ran talking to Run Run Shaw, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and others, and a more frightening headline.

In the article, "Oriental Daily" introduced the two films that Jiang Ran participated in the production and the role he played in the production of the films, and believed that Jiang Ran played a leading role in the success of these two films. In addition, the films produced by Ranfeng Film Company are all in their own hands, so the article predicts that Jiang Ran may become a new film giant in Hong Kong.

Jiang Ran was a little unhappy after seeing the report of "Oriental Daily" in the company. I just explained the doubts of the three major cinema chain companies yesterday, and I reported it like this today, isn't it asking myself for trouble.

Jiang Ran immediately called Zhao Hongjun of Tiantian, "Mr. Zhao, I'm Jiang Ran, have you seen today's report in the Oriental Daily? Their report is too exaggerated, and this will have a bad impact on the development of the film company. ”

"No problem, Mr. Jiang! We will refute their arguments in tomorrow's report. Zhao Hongjun replied on the phone.

"We don't need to refute them directly, you should report more in the report, such as the role of director Tsui Hark in the film, in the issue of film schedules, and the film company has not signed actors behind the scenes, there is no development potential, etc., so as to weaken the persuasiveness of the term 'new film giant' and give the public some new food for thought." I don't want this to be a hot topic and remain in the public eye for a long time. ”

After Jiang Ran listened to Zhao Hongjun's words, he hurriedly corrected.

"I understand, Mr. Jiang, you want to refute "Oriental Daily" from the side, and at the same time downplay this topic!" After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Zhao Hongjun finally understood what Jiang Ran meant.

After Jiang Ran notified Tiantian, he successively instructed Ah Cheng of the group and Jiang Wei of the film company to ask them to contact familiar media to guide public opinion. It's just that Jiang Ran may not know that when he instructed his subordinates to control and guide public opinion, someone was already eyeing him.

Founded in 1973 by Lam Hang-chee, Hong Kong Economic Journal is the first professional financial newspaper in Hong Kong.

After Lin Xingzhi came to the newspaper office today, he saw the report on "Oriental Daily" about Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Film Company, which made him interested in Jiang Ran.

According to the Oriental Daily, Jiang Ran's Ran Feng Film Company produced two films this year, which grossed more than 13 million and 21 million respectively in Hong Kong.

These two movies are all distributed by Ranfeng Film Company itself, so Jiang Ran can get nearly 20 million profits just in the Hong Kong box office of these two films, and if you add the profits of the market outside SH, Lin Xingzhi expects that Jiang Ran can make about 30 or 40 million profits in these two movies alone, and Jiang Ran is only 20 years old this year.

Lin Xingzhi keenly discovered the news value contained in Jiang Ran. Therefore, he immediately called a few editors of the newspaper, and after a few people came in, Lin Xingzhi put the copy of "Oriental Daily" in his hand in front of a few people, and then said: "Everyone take a look at this report first, I don't know if you know Jiang Ran?"

"Mr. Lin, are you talking about the director of the recently released movie "Nightclub"? This person has been in the limelight in the Hong Kong entertainment industry recently. An editor who often follows the entertainment industry said.

"Yes, that's him. How much do you know about him, do you know his background?" asked Lin Xingzhi, the editor.

"Jiang Ran, I remember, it seems that the report says that he owns a company called Ran Feng, and invested in the production of two films, both of which brought a movie-going frenzy in Hong Kong, and the rest is not too clear?" replied the editor.

At this time, several editors had already finished reading the news about Jiang Ran, and Lin Xingzhi said to a few people: "Everyone, I don't know if you have found out from this news, Jiang Ran is only 20 years old, and he will produce and release two movies this year, and I expect these two movies to bring Jiang Ran a profit of 30 to 40 million, what does this mean? A 20-year-old young man can make a net profit of 30 or 40 million yuan in a year from movies, I think this is a wealth myth. ”

In the 80s, 30 or 40 million was a very large small number, and billionaires in that era were not as common as later generations, and each billionaire had a very large influence. Jiang Ran's net earning rate of 30 to 40 million a year is stronger than that of many people with assets of hundreds of millions.

Therefore, when the few editors here heard this, they already understood it, knowing the topicality and news value of this, Lin Xingzhi saw that several editors reflected it, and directly ordered: "Everyone, I need all the information about this Jiang Ran, including his identity and background, as well as his wealth experience, all of them, the more detailed the better." ”

Jiang Ran's information is not difficult to check, in the afternoon, Lin Xingzhi got detailed information about Jiang Ran, and Lin Xingzhi slowly looked at the information.

Jiang Ran was born in an ordinary family, and his family has a small restaurant, and in April last year, he relied on his father's support to open an audio-visual rental store called Ran Feng. Then the law was out of control, and now Ran Feng is a chain audio-visual book entity distribution company with 15 branches, which can cover almost the whole of Hong Kong, and it is initially estimated that it can make millions of profits per month.

Then Jiang Ran set up the "Oriental Charm" magazine in May this year, which now has a circulation of 300,000 copies, and this magazine is now also involved in the clothing market, with an overall monthly profit of two or three million.

After that, Jiang Ran bought the newspaper for 25 million yuan in July, and now has a circulation of 100,000 copies.

The more Lin Xingzhi looked at it, the more surprised he became, he originally thought that Jiang Ran had a deep background, so he could easily succeed in the film market, how did he know that Jiang Ran was completely self-made, and in addition to movies, he also created so many industries, and they all made good profits.

But because of this, Jiang Ran's news value will increase exponentially. Lin Xingzhi immediately decided to reformat the newspaper that would be issued the next day, and he wanted to put Jiang Ran's news in the headlines.

On the same day, under the instructions of Lin Xingzhi, the "Hong Kong Economic Daily" worked overtime to rearrange the newspaper, and Jiang Ran's news was also placed on the front page of November 22.

On the 22nd, when Jiang Ran came to the company, he always felt that everyone's expressions were a little different, until he saw his bust photo and the terrifying headline on the front page of the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" when he was running the company-20-year-old billionaire, another wealth myth in Hong Kong.
