Jiang Ran noticed Jiang Wei's movements, Jiang Wei, as the person in charge of film and television publicity and distribution within Ranfeng Group, was obviously the person who was the most proficient in film and television publicity among all the people.

"Ah Wei, do you have any opinions?" Jiang Ran asked with a little expectation.

Jiang Wei's face was calm, and he didn't care about the other people who looked at him, but just said to Jiang Ran: "Mr. Jiang, before I give my opinion, I want to be sure of one thing. ”

"Oh, what's the matter? Jiang Ran encouragedly stretched out his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"I want to know what Mr. Jiang's position is for "Chainsaw"? Horror films are a niche theme in the film market after all, and I read the introduction in the script, this movie is extremely bloody, and even causes some viewers to feel sick and uncomfortable. ”

Jiang Ran's new movie has completed the filming work, but the post-editing work has not yet been completed, so although everyone has heard that this movie is very bloody, but what it is, everyone has no specific concept.

"Well, Saw is a very special movie, and I originally shot him because I wanted to advance the film rating system at Burning Maple Theaters. The film is aimed at young people and is mainly aimed at the North American and Japanese markets, so the box office of the film in Hong Kong may be very low. ”

For the first time, Jiang Ran mentioned the production concept of "Chainsaw" to everyone within the group, as well as his expectations for the film's achievements.

As Jiang Ran's words fell, there was a strange moment of silence in the conference room. Obviously, everyone did not expect that as a director of a film, at the beginning of the film's production, he had no hope for the film's box office performance in Hong Kong.

Who is Jiang Ran?

In the past two years, Hong Kong's most brilliant film director, the holder of Hong Kong's best box office record, has produced films that have broken the threshold of 20 million and 30 million in Hong Kong for the first time, and his films are now almost equivalent to high box office in Hong Kong.

After Jiang Ran opened a new film, Ran Feng's film and distribution department were all excited, waiting for Ran Feng to take the lead again in this year's summer movie hit, but now Jiang Ran himself poured cold water on everyone.

Of course, among these people, there are also some people who are somewhat mentally prepared, such as Jiang Wei. As he said, horror movies are relatively niche movies after all, and he has had a conservative opinion about the box office of this movie since he knew that Jiang Ran's movie was a horror film.

Of course, with the addition of Jiang Ran's past achievements, Jiang Wei did not have the luxury of hoping that "Chainsaw" could create a miracle again, and now Jiang Ran has personally broken this extravagance, although he is a little disappointed, but he is finally a little mentally prepared.

Jiang Wei sighed slightly in his heart, and then said: "Since Mr. Jiang's "Chainsaw" doesn't have much intention at the box office in Hong Kong, can we release other movies with "Chainsaw"?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Wei looked at Gui Zecheng and the others, who were a little hesitant, and then explained: "We have joined forces with independent cinemas this time, and the entire cinema chain has twenty-seven screens, and in our Ranfeng Cinema, each point basically has more than two screens. ”

"We can show two films at the same time, both in Burning Maple Studios and in independent theaters in the same area. In this way, on the one hand, we can reduce the audience diversion of our cinema chain. On the other hand, it can also enrich the types of movies released in our theaters, increase the audience's viewing choices, and strengthen the competitiveness of Ranfeng Cinema in the film market. ”

Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Wei's words and nodded secretly in his heart, this was exactly the thought he had always wanted to convey. If Ranfeng Cinema shows a movie on several screens, why build so many screens in the first place, it is better to build a hall directly, which will save more money.

"However, reducing the number of screens and screenings of the film will affect the final result of the film. Moreover, if we do this, it will also form a competition between our own films, and it will not be conducive to our competition with other theaters. ”

Jiang Ran was thinking about it when he heard Liu Liwei ask.

When Jiang Ran heard this, he was slightly disappointed with Liu Liwei, but after thinking about it, Liu Liwei has been focusing on film and television production, and he is not familiar with distribution, so it is not a big deal.

After listening to Liu Liwei's words, Jiang Wei explained with a smile: "Although we have reduced the number of screenings and screens of the movie, the coverage area of the movie has not decreased. Reducing the number of screens in the same area will inevitably increase the attendance of the film. In addition, we can also flexibly adjust the number of screenings according to the attendance rate of the movie. ”

"As for the competition between the films that are released, there will definitely be some impact on that. But we can minimize this negative impact by adjusting the mix of movie genres, and even have a positive effect. ”

"For example, we can screen Mr. Jiang's "Chainsaw" and the comedy "Summer Ghosts" directed by Lin Jiawen at the same time. After experiencing the horror and gore of "Saw Horror", do you need to relieve the discomfort in your heart and relax your mood? Don't you think "Summer Ghosts" is a good choice?"

Listening to Jiang Wei's words, the people in the conference room showed thoughtful expressions.

Jiang Ran couldn't be more satisfied with Jiang Wei now, smiled and drummed the drummer, and then said to Jiang Wei: "Very good idea." I think this summer, we will arrange the film according to Ah Wei's ideas. ”

"Okay, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Ran felt that it was feasible, and of course other people would not stand up and speak against it without interest. Besides, Jiang Wei's opinion is very pertinent and sounds very good.

Jiang Ran waited for everyone to be quiet here, then put away the smile on his face, and continued to say: "The tone of the film has been set, how will the film be arranged next?"

As soon as Jiang Ran's words fell, everyone looked at Jiang Wei for the first time, Jiang Wei was so brilliant today.

Jiang Wei saw that everyone was looking at him, and he didn't postpone it, this was originally his job.

"The 23rd of next month is the Midyear Festival of the lunar calendar, so I want to put Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Taoist" in the middle and late of this month. ”

Jiang Wei said this, glanced at Jiang Ran, and then continued: "On the 7th of this month, Golden Harvest's Sammo Hung's "Five Lucky Stars" will be released, and it is expected that the sequel to Jackie Chan's "Police Story" will be released in early August, these are all movies that can be a big hit. ”

"So, in order to avoid too fierce competition at that time, I think we should put the gunfight film "Jianghu Love" directed by John Woo in July, and the comedy "Summer Ghosts" in late July to early August. ”

Mr. Jiang's "Chainsaw" can be screened from the end of July to the beginning of August, depending on the painting of "Jianghu Love". As for Mai Dangxiong's "Ghost Out", it can take over "Chainsaw". ”

Of course, this movie may have a certain conflict with "Zombie Dao Chief" in the future, but as long as we mediate the first week schedule of the two films, the impact should be controllable. ”

After Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Wei's general arrangement, he thought about it slightly, felt that there was nothing wrong, nodded secretly, then looked at the others again, and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Gui Zecheng looked at Jiang Ran at this time, and then said: "There is another thing, Mr. Wei of Longhubao called me some time ago and asked about the schedule of the movie they filmed. ”

Jiang Ran also received a call from Wei Jianbang some time ago, after several months of hard work, he found a director, found actors, and formed a crew, and by mid-June, the first film produced by Long, Tiger and Leopard - a modern ***, finally came out.

Jiang Ran wanted to consider the film classification of Ranfeng Cinema, so he asked Wei Jianbang to slow down at that time, but now after listening to Gui Zecheng's words, it seems that Wei Jianbang has also looked for him.

Jiang Ran thought for a while, and then said: "My "Chainsaw" was made to promote the film classification of Ran Feng, so during the release of "Chainsaw" this time, your distribution department, Ran Feng Cinema and Tian Tian must work together to promote the process of this matter." ”

Then after "Chainsaw" was drawn, it was logical to roll out the movie classification and release system in Ranfeng Cinemas, and when the time came, Dragon, Tiger and Leopard's movies could also be released. ”

"Oh, then I will inform Mr. Wei that there should be no problem in arranging their movie to be released in September. Gui Zecheng agreed, and said.

In the scorching summer, before the storm of the Academy Awards has passed, the Hong Kong film market has made waves again. 8)
