Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the Lunar New Year, which is the fifth Spring Festival that Jiang Ran has experienced in Hong Kong, and in five years, Jiang Ran has changed from a gangster to a bigwig in the Hong Kong entertainment and media circle worth hundreds of millions.

"Time flies so fast!" Jiang Ran sighed alone, and then said to himself with some unconfidence: "I shouldn't have embarrassed my colleagues in the traversal class, right?"

The annual New Year is not an easy thing for Jiang Ran, whether it is the entertainment between relatives and friends, or the maintenance of various relationships, Jiang Ran has no leisure during the Spring Festival every year.

In this year's Spring Festival, Jiang Ran once again spent it busy, and he had one more thing, that is, to deal with two women at the same time during this period.

Regarding the matter of Jiang Ran and Guan Zhilin, as Jiang Ran expected, including Chow Yun-fat, everyone seemed to have forgotten about this matter after returning to Hong Kong, and there was no gossip.

Therefore, during the Spring Festival, Jiang Ran had to maneuver between the two women, which can be regarded as Jiang Ran's happiness and troubles during the Spring Festival this year.

After the Spring Festival and the start of the new year, Hong Kong's film market continues to be hot.

Among them, New Art City's "Wishing you prosperity" won 8 million Hong Kong dollars during the Spring Festival, and by the time the painting was released on March 5, a total of more than 18 million yuan for New Art City and Princess Jin were still passable box office results.

And Ranfeng Group's own "Coke Family 2" was not far behind during the Spring Festival, also winning nearly 8 million Hong Kong dollars, and finally painted with 18 million Hong Kong dollars on March 5.

Among the several movies released during the Spring Festival, if you want to talk about box office results, whether it is "Wishing you prosperity" in Xinyi City, or "Coke Family 2" of Ranfeng Group, in fact, they can only be said to be barely qualified.

On the one hand, in recent years, Hong Kong's box office performance has repeatedly reached new highs, and there are so many movies with a box office of 20 million every year, which is not uncommon now.

Not to mention the box office results of more than 10 million?

On the other hand, during this year's Spring Festival, Sammo Hung really came to a complete explosion as Jiang Ran and others expected a year ago, stealing the scenery of all the movies released during this period.

Sammo Hung continued to maintain his popularity during the Spring Festival, and once again won 11 million Hong Kong dollars during the Spring Festival, and in just over half a month, the total score accumulated to 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the end, when the film was released on March 8, it was released for nearly a month, and a total of 30 million Hong Kong dollars was cut for Golden Harvest.

"Sammo Hung has completely risen this time. Jiang Ran looked at the report in the newspaper and said to Jiang Wei and the others.

It's already early March, and more than a week has passed since the annual holiday, and today Ranfeng Group will hold a meeting to determine the film and television production and distribution plan for the new year.

Before the meeting began, Jiang Ran and others looked at the news that "Fuxing Gaozhao" broke the box office mark of 30 million yesterday, and the discussion was very hot.

After all, in Hong Kong's Benfu market, so far, the only movies with a box office exceeding the 30 million mark are "The True Color of Heroes" and "Zombies Out of the Cage" directed by Jiang Ran.

Now, the glory that belongs to the Ranfeng Group and Jiang Ran has to be shared with others, and it is no wonder that some people in the conference room are so concerned about this matter.

"Yes!" Liu Liwei shook his head with some regret, "In the future, there will be another new member in Hong Kong's 30 million box office club." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Jiang Ran's face, and saw that Jiang Ran's face was as usual, before he spoke again: "However, there is still a considerable gap between him and Mr. Jiang's achievements. ”

"That's right!" Jiang Wei also said, "This time, his "Lucky Star Gaozhao", in the last week or so, the performance is not convincing, if it weren't for the support of Jiahe, I think it would be very suspenseful to 30 million." ”

"The most important thing is that Mr. Jiang's "The True Colors of Heroes" was released two years earlier than "Lucky Stars", if you calculate the difference in ticket prices in the two years, in fact, the results of "The True Colors of Heroes" are much better than "Lucky Stars". Gui Zecheng also said.

Jiang Ran looked at the people in the conference room who kept nodding in agreement, chuckled and shook his head, a little funny about their behavior of patting horses, but he was not disgusted.

"Okay!" Jiang Ran didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, clapped his hands, and said, "It's almost time, let's start the meeting now." ”

Jiang Ran's words made the atmosphere in the conference room calm, and after everyone was quiet, Jiang Ran looked at Jiang Wei and asked, "Ah Wei, let's start with you." ”

"Yes, Mr. Jiang!" Jiang Wei saw Jiang Ran call his name, and immediately replied.

"This year, we have confirmed the distribution projects so far, starting with "Knife and Horse", which is currently being released, and then planning to bring in two films in Hollywood. ”

"In addition, McDonald's Hung has also negotiated with us to release two or three films for them throughout this year, including one hot release. There is also Dragon, Tiger and Par, which plans to release three or four films for them this year. ”

As soon as Jiang Wei's words fell, Liu Liwei frowned and said, "Mr. Jiang, isn't this a bit much." You've all planned the release of nearly ten films now, will this crowd out our own films?"

When Jiang Wei heard this, he glanced at Jiang Ran first, and then said: "Although there are many films we plan to release, they are basically scheduled to be released in the off-season. ”

"At this time, I can take advantage of our multiplex theater and release multiple films at the same time. So, this arrangement doesn't actually crowd out our own movie schedule. ”

Jiang Wei didn't give much specific explanation, after all, Jiang Ran's shadow can actually be seen in these things, many things, such as the release of Hollywood movies, such as Dragon Tiger and Leopard Company, and then McDonald Hung Company.

Liu Liwei's face was not very good-looking, but he also knew that there was Jiang Ran's meaning in this, so he looked at Jiang Ran's plain face, and finally opened his mouth and did not refute at the exit.

After Jiang Ran saw that no one was silent, he nodded and said, "This is the case for the time being." Ah Wei, what about your film and television company's plans?"

Hearing this, Liu Liwei opened the folder in front of him, and said while looking at it: "This year, the focus of our film and television company's film and television production is still in Hong Kong. ”

"Therefore, in Hong Kong, in order to maintain our group's competitiveness in several of the most important film slots, we plan to focus on creating at least six films this year to compete during the hot slots. ”

Liu Liwei said, looked at Jiang Wei, and then said: "In addition, in addition to these six films, we will slowly start to invest in some other films this year to increase our production volume." ”

Jiang Ran listened to Liu Liwei's words, nodded noncommittally, and asked, "What about the Hollywood market?"

Liu Liwei nodded and said: "In Hollywood, on the one hand, we intend to continue to promote the sequels of the two movies "Chainsaw" and "Zombie Out". ”

"In addition, Mr. Jiang, the "Field Platoon" you mentioned a few years ago is also being negotiated now, but if this movie is to be released, at least until next year. ”

Jiang Ran nodded and said, "Hollywood, I have no objection to you making a sequel movie, but I hope you don't rush too much, and use these successful series of movies as our strategic weapon to continue to maintain our influence in North America." ”

"I see, Mr. Jiang. Liu Liwei nodded when he heard this, understanding that Jiang Ran didn't agree with the sequel movie of Chainsaw and Zombie to be made immediately this year.

Jiang Ran really disagreed in his heart, after all, now is the pioneering period of the Ranfeng Group, and holding on to the sequel movie will make the group lack creativity, which is not what Jiang Ran wants to see.

On the other hand, each series of movies actually has its potential ceiling, and excessive exploration is not conducive to the long-term development of the entire series, which will make the value of the entire series depreciate rapidly.

What's more, in Jiang Ran's heart, he hopes that Ranfeng Group can now take advantage of its fame in Hollywood to develop new projects as soon as possible, and the series of movies will be used as the company's reserve resources to act when the company encounters difficulties.
