Chapter 126: Approval
When Long, Hubao was about to enter the adult film and television industry, Jiang Ran decided to try out the grading and distribution system of film and television works within Ranfeng Cinema, because there was a certain risk in this matter, Jiang Ran did not ask the cinema to implement it immediately before a comprehensive plan.
After Jiang Ran briefed Gui Zecheng on several relevant responsible persons, he instructed them to brainstorm and strive to come up with a feasible strategy as soon as possible, while Jiang Ran himself was also carefully pondering this matter in his heart.
The time has come to mid-April, and Jiang Ran still hasn't considered the plan for the classification and distribution of the film.
On this day, when Jiang Ran came to the film and television company to discuss with Lin Zhengying about "Zombie Taoist", he and Liu Liwei inadvertently talked about the Academy Awards, and suddenly asked: "Ah Wei, when will this year's Hong Kong Film Awards start?"
"I don't know if I can do it. Last year's awards ceremony, as you know, was very unprofessional, and few people in the film and television industry really took this matter seriously. Liu Liwei said with a little disdain.
Jiang Ran was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the Hong Kong Film Awards to be so difficult to operate at the beginning.
Although last year's awards ceremony was unsatisfactory, as our own Hong Kong film awards, it was finally off to a good start, and this year it was so miserable. ”
Liu Liwei can be seen that his boss is supportive of the Academy Awards, and it's right to think about it, last year, when everyone didn't pay attention to it, Jiang Ran and a few other Hong Kong filmmakers were cautious and well-dressed, and then they also spoke out in the media to support the film biweekly.
Chen Baisen and others did not give up, I heard that they are still soliciting sponsorship everywhere, but I heard that there are not many people who are really interested. Liu Liwei said.
After Jiang Ran listened to Liu Liwei's words, he didn't speak again, but just kept this matter in his heart. When he returned to the group company, Jiang Ran found Gui Zecheng.
"Ah Cheng, I heard that this year's Hong Kong Film Awards can't be held as scheduled because of sponsorship, you can arrange someone to find out the situation. ”
Gui Zecheng glanced at Jiang Ran with some curiosity, but didn't ask much, "Okay, Mr. Jiang!"
After Jiang Ran arranged the Academy Awards to Gui Zecheng, he didn't worry about it anymore, but focused on company management and film production.
At present, the two movies released by Ran Feng in the New Year have begun to be released in the Waifu market, among which "The True Color of Heroes" has set off a frenzy of movie-watching in Southeast Asia, so that the fame of Chow Yun-fat and others has begun to really go out of Hong Kong and spread throughout Asia.
After the release of this movie in South Korea, due to the continuous production of high-quality movies in the past few years, Ran Feng has accumulated considerable popularity, making the number of viewers exceed 200,000 times, which is still a long way from Jackie Chan's achievements, but it also made Chow Yun-fat and Ran Feng really open up the market in South Korea.
In terms of RB, because of the close cooperation between Ran Feng and Daying, Daying worked very the release of this movie. This also made the box office of the movie catch up with the results of "Police Story" last summer a month after its release on RB, reaching 2 billion yen, which completely opened up the situation for Ran Feng in RB.
"The True Color of Heroes" was a big hit in the Waifu market, which made Chow Yun-fat's fame begin to spread throughout Asia, and at the same time, it also made Ran Feng Film Company once again start its popularity in the Asian Waifu market after last year's "Police Story", and consolidate its position and credibility in these places.
When Jiang Ran was concerned about the production and distribution of Ran Feng's film, Gui Zecheng's movements were fast, and after a few days of investigation, he had basically figured out the situation of Chen Baisen and others.
"Mr. Jiang, Chen Baisen and others were able to hold the Academy Awards last year, thanks to the sponsorship of Radio Television Hong Kong, but because the cooperation between the two sides was not very pleasant, this year Radio Television Hong Kong canceled the sponsorship of the Academy Awards, forcing "Film Fortnightly" to find a new partner. ”
However, because the response to last year's award ceremony was not satisfactory and the influence was not great, Chen Baisen and his colleagues have not found a suitable sponsor until now, so it has been delayed until now, and the situation is very difficult. Gui Zecheng briefly introduced the investigation to Jiang Ran.
After listening to Gui Zecheng's introduction, Jiang Ran thought about it, raised his head and asked, "You said I came to sponsor them, how about it?"
Gui Zecheng looked at Jiang Ran with some hesitation, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, with all due respect, judging from last year's awards ceremony and this year's preparations, the experience and ability of "Film Fortnightly" in this regard are very debatable. ”
"Even if they get your sponsorship, they may not be able to do a good job, and in doing so, I don't see our interests in Ranfeng. ”
After listening to Gui Zecheng's words calmly, Jiang Ran thought for a while and explained: "Film Fortnight does not have a good experience in organizing film awards, but we can give them some help in this regard. ”
"As for the benefits of sponsoring this award to Ran Feng, it has little influence now, of course I can't see it, but what about when its influence expands? Think about Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards. ”
After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Gui Zecheng suddenly realized: "Mr. Jiang still thinks long-term, this is laying out for the future." ”
After Jiang Ran heard this, he looked at Gui Zecheng funny, pointed at him and scolded him with a smile: "You kid don't make sycophants, go and contact Chen Baisen, I want to talk to him." ”
After Chen Baisen received a call from Ran Feng, he convened several heads of the weekly magazine and the preparatory committee to discuss the invitation to Ran Feng.
"Everyone, Gui Zecheng of Ranfeng Group just called me and said that Jiang Ran wanted to see me and talk to me about the Film Awards. What do you think?"
"Jiang Ran is indeed one of the few people in the Hong Kong film industry who is very supportive of our film awards, and he spoke for us in the media last year. Wang Zhonghan said.
"Of course I know this, what I want to say is that Ran Feng is a film company, and our award is a film award, will it affect the fairness of the award if they are involved in the preparation of the award?" Chen Baisen explained after glancing at Wang Zhonghan.
"That's a problem. ”
"Actually, Ran Feng wants to sponsor the film awards, I don't think it's okay to promise him, as long as we keep the bottom line of not letting them interfere in the awards. Hong Zuxing said on the side.
Chen Baisen shook his head and said: "That being said, as long as Ran Feng enters the game, it will be very difficult for us to gain the trust of other filmmakers and audiences, and as a new film award, when the fairness is questioned, then death is not far away." ”
Chen Baisen also did not say that as long as Ran Feng intervenes in the Academy Awards, even if he promises not to directly interfere in the awards, with the influence of his sponsors, it will definitely have an impact on the awards.
"This is a problem, even if our awards are fair, but as long as Ran Feng sponsors the Academy Awards and finally wins the award, we can't tell it clearly. ”
"But that's the case now. With the exception of Ran Feng, we couldn't find any sponsors interested in the Academy Awards. ”
Chen Baisen very much wanted to directly refuse Ran Feng's sponsorship, but the reality is that they can't find a sponsor now, so they have to postpone the Academy Awards indefinitely.
Accepting Ran Feng's sponsorship will affect the fairness of the film awards, which is equivalent to a pair of chronic poison. The refusal of Ran Feng may directly lead to the failure of the Academy Awards this year, which will make this film award die directly.
"I'll go meet Jiang Ran first and see what he has to say. Chen Bosen finally said helplessly.
"It's good to be prescient, as long as Ranfeng can solve the fairness of the award, it's not impossible for them to sponsor, but our bottom line can't change, and we must not let Ranfeng interfere in the award. ”
