Golden Harvest Film Company has also been preparing to produce a thriller and horror film to test the overseas market. It's just that they, like other Hong Kong film companies, have eaten closed doors on Yu Yunkang and other more important characters in the "Chainsaw" crew.

It is precisely because of this that Zou Wenhuai is not too confident in the prospects of the films that his company will produce, so he hopes to participate in the "Chainsaw" series of Ranfeng Group.

Listening to Zou Wenhuai's words, Jiang Ran's brows furrowed slightly, and finally understood the reason why Zou Wenhuai was so enthusiastic today, it was obvious that the other party hoped to get the right to invest in the "Chainsaw" series of movies.

For Jiang Ran, too many people have approached him directly or tactfully in recent times and want to participate in the investment of "Chainsaw".

In fact, it's not just Hong Kong film companies and investors who want to invest in the "Saw Horror" film series.

As early as shortly after "Saw 2" was released in North America and other places, Ran Feng Group received many cooperation invitations from Hollywood studios. The list of invitations for these collaborations even includes Hollywood's eight major studios.

Not to mention Miramax Films, Harvey Weinstein has been testing Jiang Ran since the first weekend of the film's release.

This made Jiang Ran very proud and tired at the same time.

So far, Jiang Ran has not decided how to make "Chainsaw" next, whether it will be completed independently by Ranfeng Group, or whether it will introduce collaborators again.

However, it is clear that no matter which way Jiang Ran chooses to produce, Hong Kong's local film companies and investors will definitely not be in Jiang Ran's consideration.

After all, the "Chainsaw" series of movies is almost destined to make money, and Ran Feng took it out to seek collaborators, which must be to open up markets and channels.

Obviously, there is no one company in the current Hong Kong film company that meets the needs of Ran Feng.

"Uncle Huai, the next production plan of "Chainsaw", our company has no specific plan for the time being. Jiang Ran smiled and declined Zou Wenhuai.

Jiang Ran's words obviously did not dispel Zou Wenhuai's thoughts, and he stared at Jiang Ran with a smile for a long time before continuing to speak: "Ah Ran, your Ranfeng Group has been developing the North American market for a while now, and you should also understand the energy of our Golden Harvest in the North American market. ”

Jiang Ran didn't want to talk about this topic at all, so seeing that Zou Wenhuai still wanted to continue lobbying, he had to interject and interrupt: "Uncle Huai, I am naturally very aware of your strength in Jiahe, otherwise I would not have found you for cooperation in "Zombie Out of the Cage". ”

Saying that, Jiang Ran didn't wait for Zou Wenhuai to speak again, and directly talked about the purpose of his coming over this time, "Speaking of "Zombie Out of the Cage", Uncle Huai, this time the release of the movie, you Golden Harvest can't stand by and watch." ”

Zou Wenhuai listened to Jiang Ran's words, knew that the other party had no intention of cooperating, put away the smile on his face, frowned slightly, glanced at Jiang Ran deeply again, and said lightly: "Oh? Haven't you and Harvey Weinstein of Miramax discussed the release of this movie a long time ago?

On the issue of the distribution of "Zombie Out of the Cage", Jiang Ran did something wrong at the beginning, he first discussed with Harvey about the promotion and distribution of the movie, and then notified Golden Harvest Film Company, which made Golden Harvest's decision-making power very suppressed and completely became the executor.

It's just that at that time, Zou Wenhuai saw that there was no big problem with the publicity plan formulated by Jiang Ran, and in the process of publicity, Jiahe would participate in the whole process, so his profits did not decrease in the slightest, so Zou Wenhuai did not care.

After all, he only saw that Jiang Ran had a successful experience when he invested in this movie, and he participated with the mentality of testing the waters, and he didn't want to grasp the initiative of the movie from the beginning.

It turned out that although he didn't care about it, it didn't prevent Zou Wenhuai from taking out this matter now to express his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Ran naturally heard Zou Wenhuai's dissatisfaction, but he still smiled and said: "Uncle Huai, what are you talking about, this movie is jointly invested and produced by all of us, and Jiahe also participates in the distribution, how can you lack your support Uncle Huai?"

"You should also know that we used the videotape release of "Saw 2" to promote this movie, and now the news from North America shows that the effect is very good. ”

Jiang Ran's words made Zou Wenhuai's eyes light up, as a senior filmmaker, he naturally knew the meaning of Jiang Ran's words, which means that the success of "Zombie Out of the Cage" has been greatly improved.

Seeing Zou Wenhuai's expression, Jiang Ran smiled in his heart, he never worried that Zou Wenhuai would pull his own hind legs in the announcement of "Zombie Out of the Cage" because of his refusal just now, after all, no one would joke about a large investment.

Jiang Ran is now trying hard to lobby Zou Wenhuai, just to give the other party a step.

"Since the publicity effect is good, what are you worried about?" Zou Wenhuai looked at Jiang Ran with some doubts, and his expression was no longer as cold as just now, as if there were two people just now.

"Uncle Huai, I came to you today mainly to discuss with you the distribution of this film in Hong Kong and Asia. Jiang Ran said straight to the point.

"Didn't we discuss this question a long time ago?

"Uncle Huai, I've been thinking about it for a while, the schedule in February is too crowded, even though I'm very confident in the movie, but our Hong Kong market is so big, too fierce competition will eventually have some impact on the box office. ”

"So, I'm thinking about whether I can move this movie to December, I know that you Golden Harvest has no works released this month, I think the two of us can jointly release "Zombie Out of the Cage" and make the box office the highest. ”

Jiang Ran's words made Zou Wenhuai frown slightly, they Golden Harvest did not have their own works released in December, but they have already confirmed that they will act as an agent for the distribution of Debao Film Company's "The Owl and Dumbo".

For Debao Film Company, the first film was distributed by Ranfeng Group in the summer and achieved good results, coupled with the good cooperative relationship between Pan Disheng and Jiang Ran, it stands to reason that their follow-up films should continue to be distributed by Ranfeng.

However, because of Sammo Hung relationship, they finally chose to cooperate with Golden Harvest, which is obviously what Golden Harvest is very willing to see.

Zou Wenhuai is a little conflicted now, on the one hand, he hopes to continue to win over Debao Film Company. On the other hand, "Zombie Out of the Cage" is obviously more practical for Golden Harvest.

"Ah Ran, next month we have reached an agreement with Debao to release a film to them. Zou Wenhuai said with some embarrassment, "I can't break my word." ”

Jiang Ran looked at Zou Wenhuai, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then replied: "Uncle Huai, I heard that Uncle Shao is now planning to launch the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and many people in Hong Kong are very interested in this, and Mr. Pan Disheng has also had contact with the Shaw Brothers." ”

Jiang Ran actually didn't know if Pan Disheng had contact with Shaw Brothers, although Pan Dickson finally took over the Shaw Brothers Cinemas in his previous life, but now because of the emergence of Ranfeng Group, Debao's first film has been well resourced in terms of distribution, and Pan Dickson's urgency for the cinema chain is definitely not as strong as in his previous life.

However, Jiang Ran is very sure that with Pan Disheng's character and financial resources, since he has already intervened in the film industry, he will definitely not be controlled by others in terms of distribution channels for a long time.

Jiang Ran's words made Zou Wenhuai's eyes shrink slightly, now the competition in the Hong Kong film industry is becoming more and more fierce with the rise of New Arts City and Ran Feng, seeing that the old rival of Shaw Brothers is about to fall behind, if a powerful Debao Film Company emerges again, it is obviously what Zou Wenhuai does not want to see.

However, Turvo Film does have the potential to go big.

On the one hand, Debao Film Company has the financial support of Pan Disheng, a wealthy man, and there are no financial shackles. On the other hand, the other two shareholders of Debao, whether it is Sammo Hung or Shum Jianxun, have very good abilities in film production and connections.

What's more, if Debao develops smoothly, who knows if it will affect the cooperation between Sammo Hung and Golden Harvest?

Originally, Debao Film Company had no theaters and distribution channels, and Zou Wenhuai was not too worried, but now listening to Jiang Ran, Pan Disheng is obviously not a person who is willing to be lonely.

If Pan Disheng takes over the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, then Debao can completely replace the current position of Shaw Brothers and threaten the interests of Golden Harvest.
