Chapter 256: Life is Varied
ps: Among the films nominated by Ran Feng is "The True Color of Heroes", which I forgot to write yesterday and has now changed.
In the red carpet waiting hotel of the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards, after Jiang Ran and Lin Zhengying had a few jokes, the topic naturally came to the series of movies "Zombie Taoist".
"Master Zhengying, how long will it take for you to finish the TV series now?" Jiang Ran looked at Lin Zhengying and asked.
"Hmmβ" Lin Zhengying lowered his head and pondered, "It's probably going to be a week or two." β
Jiang Ran nodded, and after thinking about it, he said seriously: "Master Zhengying, you have just finished the TV series, and you should be allowed to rest for a while, but now the TV series of "Zombie Taoist" is about to be released, and the one over there of "Tiantian Wenhui" is also being serialized. β
"So, I think if I can take advantage of this influence to make a sequel to "Zombie Dao Chief"?" Jiang Ran said and looked at Lin Zhengying, waiting for his opinion.
Lin Zhengying listened to Jiang Ran's words, shook his head disapprovingly, smiled, and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. It's too late for me to be happy to be able to start filming the sequel to "Zombie Dao Chief" right away, so what's the hard work. β
Lin Zhengying naturally has a reason for saying this, since he filmed "Zombie Taoist" last summer, Lin Zhengying's main energy has been on the production of TV series.
Lin Zhengying, as a senior old man in the entertainment industry, naturally knows what kind of embarrassment he will face in the film and television industry if he has not been able to get his hands on the works or roles for a long time.
Now that the TV series is finally about to be completed, Lin Zhengying is worried about his next step, Jiang Ran asked him to immediately make a sequel movie to "Zombie Dao Chief", and he is naturally happy.
Jiang Ran saw that Lin Zhengying had no opinion, nodded happily, and said, "Master Zhengying has no opinion." I'll talk about this matter with Mr. Liu and Shi Nansheng later, and you can start making preliminary preparations. β
Jiang Ran and Lin Zhengying were talking, but they saw Sammo Hung chubby figure walking over under a large crowd of people.
"Mr. Jiang, congratulations! Your company seems to be coming out on top again this time. Sammo Hung has a festive smile on his honest face, and those who don't know will definitely be confused by the appearance of this fat man.
Jiang Ran glanced at the people behind Sammo Hung, although he was not very familiar with them, he also knew that these people should be members of the Hong family class, and the eyes of these people who looked at Lin Zhengying were full of envy.
Jiang Ran thought about it, more than a year ago, when everyone was still messing with Sammo Hung, Lin Zhengying was not as good as those Sammo Hung brothers in the Hong family's class.
It has only been a little over a year now, and time has passed, but the circumstances and status of the two sides have been very different. These people who followed Sammo Hung did not develop much, but after Lin Zhengying defected to Ranfeng Group, Mr. became popular with "The True Color of Heroes", and later directed and starred in "Zombie Taoist", which completely established a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry and established his identity and status.
Jiang Ran just glanced at the people behind Sammo Hung, he was not very familiar with these people from the Hong family, "Sanmao, you are polite." β
With Jiang Ran's current status, he is directly called Sammo Hung Sanmao, which does not seem abrupt.
"You're not bad this time, either! "Scary" and "Five Lucky Stars" are both nominated, and there is a good chance of winning the award again. β
"Haha, thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your words. Sammo Hung said with a laugh.
"Sanmao, Master Zhengying, you talk, I'll be absent for a while. Jiang Ran looked at Sammo Hung and the others with a smile, these people obviously came to talk to Lin Zhengying, so after a few polite words, Jiang Ran nodded very sensibly to the group of people in the Hong family's class, and left.
After Jiang Ran said goodbye to Sammo Hung and others, he did not return to the circle of the crew of "The True Color of Heroes", but went around and around to the place where Tsui Hark and other "New Shu Mountain Swordsmen" crew stayed.
"Director Xu, Miss Lin, what are you talking about?" Jiang Ran asked with a smile as he looked at a few happy people who were chatting.
"Mr. Jiang, you're here. Zhang Shuping hurriedly greeted. He is now a member of the Ranfeng Group, and he still holds the position of art director in Oriental Charm Magazine, holding a lot of dry shares, and naturally has great respect for Jiang Ran, the boss.
"Mr. Jiang, hello!" Lin Qingxia greeted with a smile.
"Ah Ran, why are you here?" Tsui Hark is in a very good mood today, "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" failed at the box office, and now it is finally recognized by professionals in terms of film awards.
Jiang Ran looked at Tsui Hark like this, and he was also happy for him, but the production company of the movie "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" was Golden Harvest Company and Tsui Hark's original company, and there was nothing to do with Ranfeng Group.
Mr. Jiang Ran nodded to Zhang Shuping, then smiled at Lin Qingxia and stretched out his hand, saying, "Miss Lin, we met again, you are still so beautiful." β
Lin Qingxia stretched out her crystal clear jade hand, gently shook it with Jiang Ran's outstretched hand, and then quickly withdrew it, and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to see Mr. Jiang again, please take care of Mr. Jiang in the future." β
When Jiang Ran heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at the delicate Jiaoyan opposite and asked, "Miss Lin is planning to develop in Hong Kong?"
Lin Qingxia smiled and nodded, "So in the future, I will ask Mr. Jiang to take more care in Hong Kong." β
Jiang Ran said with a smile: "I can't say anything about care. If Miss Lin can come to our Ranfeng Group, we will have many opportunities to cooperate. β
Jiang Ran took the opportunity to extend an olive branch, although there are many actresses in the Ranfeng Group now, they are really good at it, and after Zhong Chuhong retreated behind the scenes, Dai Yue's reputation is slightly better. It's a pity that the other party's acting skills are worrying, there is not much room for plasticity, and the development has basically come to an end.
The remaining Xia Wenxi and Ye Tong, they limit their development in terms of appearance conditions, and they can become stars, but they can't stand up to the beams of Ranfeng Group.
Guan Zhilin, Li Lizhen, Ye Yuqing, and Zhou Huimin in the back can basically be regarded as newcomers, but now they all lack fame and heritage, and their acting skills still need to be honed.
It is precisely for this reason that if Lin Qingxia can be pulled into the Ranfeng Group at this stage, then the group will have a new faΓ§ade above the actress.
In the face of Jiang Ran's solicitation, Lin Qingxia was a little moved, but after thinking about the number of actresses in the Ranfeng Group introduced by Tsui Hark, she was a little hesitant.
After all, although Lin Qingxia has been famous for several years, it is in Taiwan, in the literary film market, and Lin Qingxia is still a little apprehensive about Hong Kong's commercial films.
A hesitation flashed in her eyes, and Lin Qingxia said to Jiang Ran with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your support, but I still have some affairs in Taiwan that I haven't completely handled, so I can only thank Mr. Jiang for the time being." β
Jiang Ran saw Lin Qingxia's hesitation, but didn't say anything more, and instead chatted with a few people about the Academy Awards, guessing the possible winners of the Academy Awards.
Jiang Ran didn't stay with Tsui Hark and others for long, and began to drive to the red carpet with the crew of "The True Color of Heroes" at the invitation of the staff.
Chow Yun-fat missed the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards last year because of the relationship with Ranfeng Group, and this time he was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards again, which seems to be extremely important.
Jiang Ran had been wandering around when he was in the hotel just now, and he didn't stay with the crew of "The True Colors of Heroes", this was looking at Chow Yun-fat's serious expression, he shook his head with a smile, and said: "Ah Fa, don't be so tight, you have a great chance of winning this award." β
"Yes, Ah Fa. Take it easy. Zhong Chuhong also smiled and comforted.
Chow Yun-fat took a deep breath and said, "Thank you Mr. Jiang and Ah Hong, I'm fine." β
Jiang Ran nodded and reminded: "There are a lot of reporters on the red carpet this time, try to take it easy, otherwise any flaws may be put on the front page of tomorrow by the media." β
