After Zou Wenhuai listened to Jiang Ran's words, he didn't open his mouth immediately, but just lowered his head and pondered. Jiang Ran was not in a hurry about this, picked up the teacup in front of him, and tasted it.

In Zou Wenhuai's office, only the sound of Jiang Ran drinking tea from time to time was left for a while. Zou Wenhuai glanced up at Jiang Ran, and saw that he was not in a hurry and confident, and he was a little uncertain about Jiang Ran's plan.

Although Zou Wenhuai wanted to suppress Jiang Ran's Ran Feng, as Jiang Ran said, Princess Jin began to exert her strength this year, and so far, her release results have comprehensively suppressed Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.

And Golden Harvest wants to recover its decline in the summer film market, and this "Police Story" starring Jackie Chan is indeed a good choice, which can defend Golden Harvest summer file together with "Qimen Dunjia".

Of course, although "Police Story" is a movie starring Jackie Chan, Golden Harvest has no interests in this movie, which is why Golden Harvest rejected Ran Feng.

Zou Wenhuai originally planned to follow suit and delay the release of the movie "Police Story" for a few months after seeing other theater companies delay Ran Feng's release requirements. He believed that in this way, it would be a big blow to Burning Feng's impact.

But now, Jiang Ran directly found him, mentioned the previous appointment, and even took Jackie Chan and Princess Jin out to talk about it. If this movie is really very important to Jackie Chan as Jiang Ran said, then Zou Wenhuai has to take Jackie Chan's factor into account.

In addition, today Jiang Ran came directly to him and mentioned the previous agreement, so Zou Wenhuai had to consider whether rejecting Ran Feng again would make Jiang Ran angry, give up some of his interests, and switch to other companies.

Zou Wenhuai thought about it for a while, and he already had a plan to change his mind and provide a theater for Ran Feng to release "Police Story". But he didn't want to directly agree to Jiang Ran, he wanted to see if he could force Jiang Ran to give up some of his interests.

Zou Wenhuai raised his head and said tentatively to Jiang Ran with a look of embarrassment: "Ah Ran, I very much hope that "Police Story" will be screened at Golden Harvest, after all, this is a movie starring Ah Long. But we're basically full now, so I can't do it right now, why don't you wait?"

Jiang Ran looked at Zou Wenhuai's face full of embarrassment, and asked with a chuckle, "Uncle Huai, of course I understand your difficulties. It's okay to wait, but you'll have to give me a specific time. ”

After pondering for a while, Zou Wenhuai said helplessly: "You also know that there is a global consideration in this movie schedule, and now our schedule has been arranged for August." Why don't you put "Police Story" in September, Ah Ran, what do you think?"

After Jiang Ran listened to Zou Wenhuai's words, his face was very ugly, and he said: "In September, Uncle Huai, my film is in cooperation with the police force, and the film has more than a dozen sponsors. ”

Jiang Ran said this, and no longer talked nonsense with Zou Wenhuai, and said directly in a showdown: "Uncle Huai, if Jiahe's will not have a schedule until September, then I can only regret that I missed this cooperation with Jiahe, and then think of other ways." ”

Zou Wenhuai looked at Jiang Ran with a seemingly flat face, and said casually tentatively: "Oh?

Jiang Ran looked at Zou Wenhuai and said with some sarcasm: "My movie has been in communication with Uncle Huai's Jiahe before it is produced, and even then there is no schedule, I think the schedules of other theaters are not easy to handle." ”

"However, I have already had several successful collaborations with Princess Jin, and now I can only be cheeky to go to Boss Lei to see if I can pay for the loss and temporarily transfer the schedule to "Police Story". ”

"Uncle Huai, the movie starring Ah Long will not have a bad impact on Princess Jin, right?

asked Zou Wenhuai, and without waiting for him to reply, Jiang Ran spread his hands and said helplessly: "If Princess Jin can't adjust the schedule, then I can only contact the scattered line myself." ”

"But fortunately, I cooperated with Shuangnan Cinema Line on "Shaolin Temple" during the Chinese New Year, and I believe that they will look at the face of the Hong Kong Police Force and will give the release of "Police Story" a certain convenience. ”

Jiang Ran said this, glanced at Zou Wenhuai, shook his head with some regret, and said: "It's a pity, whether it is released in Princess Jin or my own contact with the scattered line, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents during the release of the movie." And if it is released in Shuangnan, it may make the movie unable to be released in Taiwan. Uncle Huai, this shouldn't affect Ah Long, right?"

Zou Wenhuai's face is very ugly now, after Jiang Ran's call, all Zou Wenhuai heard was a threat that seemed to be soft and hard, how many years had he Zou Wenhuai not been threatened.

In addition, it can be seen that because of the cooperative relationship with Shuangnan Cinema Line, coupled with the ten scattered cinemas he has cooperated with for a long time, Jiang Ran already has the strength, and after leaving the support of the three major cinema chains, he can still organize theaters to carry out large-scale film distribution immediately, although this may affect the film results.

Although Zou Wenhuai was very angry at Jiang Ran's words, thinking about the several possibilities that Jiang Ran said, those were not the results that he and Jiahe were willing to see.

First of all, Jiang Ran took "Police Story" to Princess Jin for screening, not to mention the final box office results of this movie, let's just say that as the starring actor, action director, and co-director of the movie, Jackie Chan can be said to be the most important member of this movie besides Jiang Ran, but such a movie was released in the opponent Princess Jin, what do people within Golden Harvest and the film industry think.

Secondly, Jiang Ran contacted the theater himself and distributed it independently. First of all, it will definitely affect the release of Jackie Chan's movie in Taiwan, although Zou Wenhuai believes that Golden Harvest can handle this matter, but because of the relationship between Ran Feng, let Golden Harvest pay for it, is it wrong?

And Ran Feng contacted the theater alone this time to release the movie, no matter what the final result of the movie box office is, for Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai did not see the benefits, but it would have a bad impact on Golden Harvest.

On the one hand, the release of Ran Feng, if the box office of the movie is not good, will of course bring a huge blow to Ran Feng's influence. However, such a result will also bring negative consequences to Jackie Chan, which also indirectly loses the interests of Golden Harvest. Of course, other cinema companies will be very happy.

On the other hand, if Ran Feng released "Police Story" alone and the box office performance is good, then the behavior of the three major cinema companies to suppress Ran Feng will become a joke, and Ran Feng will rise strongly. Moreover, after this incident, Jackie Chan may have a grudge against Golden Harvest.

Zou Wenhuai thought about it, and finally found that to ensure that the interests of Golden Harvest were not lost, and cooperating with Ran Feng to arrange the release of "Police Story" has become the first choice among all options.

Of course, although Zou Wenhuai already has plans to cooperate with Ran Feng, he still has to ask Jackie Chan if this movie is really as exciting as Jiang Ran said, and whether it is really so important to Jackie Chan's acting career.

Zou Wenhuai made up his mind, although his face was still not good, he still said to Jiang Ran: "Ah Ran, don't be in a hurry to make a decision first, I always think that Ah Long's movie is the best to distribute in Golden Harvest." In this case, you go back first, and I will discuss with the theater chain here to see if I can move some theaters out. ”

Jiang Ran saw that Zou Wenhuai was relieved, and also went downhill, and said with a grateful face: "Then trouble Uncle Huai, I'll go back and wait for your good news." ”

After Jiang Ran left Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai immediately contacted Jackie Chan. In the afternoon of the same day, Jackie Chan said hello to Jiang Ran early in the morning, left the editing room early and came to Golden Harvest Company.

Jackie Chan walked into Zou Wenhuai's office and saw that He Guanchang was also there, and immediately greeted: "Hello Uncle Huai!

Zou Wenhuai smiled and nodded with Jackie Chan, motioning for He Guanchang to speak. He Guanchang put away the smile on his face and asked Jackie Chan seriously.

"Aaron, Jiang Ran came to the company this morning to talk about the release of "Police Story", our Golden Harvest is now relatively full, and I hope Jiang Ran will postpone the release, but Jiang Ran rejected this proposal. ”

He Guanchang said this, stared at Jackie Chan, and asked: "Ah Long, you are the star of this movie, and you also participated in the editing of the movie in the later stage, what do you think of this movie? Jiang Ran said that this movie is very important for expanding your acting career, is it true?"

After Jackie Chan heard He Guanchang's words, he was a little unsure of what he meant. These two came to me today, whether they really wanted to consult their own opinions, or whether they had other plans.

Jackie Chan knew that Golden Harvest now had the idea of suppressing Ran Feng, and He Guanchang came to ask him about "Police Story" at this time, and Jackie Chan was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, I knew that things would come to this, and I shouldn't have agreed to participate in the movie "Police Story" in the first place. Jackie Chan thought depressedly in his heart.

Jackie Chan couldn't figure out what Zou Wenhuai was thinking, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to tell the truth.

"Uncle Huai, I participated in the production of the movie "Police Story" throughout the whole process, the quality of the movie is absolutely top-notch, and the movie is very good both in terms of action scenes and plot advancement. Especially in a few chase scenes, it was very exciting. I think this movie has a very good chance of success. ”

"This drama is indeed as Director Jiang said, it has greatly expanded my acting path, and it can be regarded as a transformation work for me. In this play, I think my acting has its own unique style, and the film is full of my imprint, and if this film is successful, it will be a huge help to my acting career. ”

After Jackie Chan finished his thoughts in one breath, he no longer expressed his opinion. He has already said everything he wants to say, as for how Jiahe decides in the end, it is not up to him to influence.

Zou Wenhuai watched Jackie Chan walk out of the office, and after being silent for a while, he said to He Guanchang: "Inform Ran Feng tomorrow, and let them discuss the release of "Police Story". ”
