Chapter 304: No Idleness

Jiang Ran has been in the United States for more than ten days, so after the results of the second week of "Zombie Out" came out, and after seeing that the situation in North America had basically stabilized, he planned to leave the United States and return to Hong Kong.

After all, in a day, two or two days, the Chinese Lunar New Year is coming, and Jiang Ran and Chow Yun-fat and other movie stars will always go home for the New Year.

Before Jiang Ran returned to Hong Kong, Harvey Weinstein proposed to hold a movie celebration banquet in the United States, after all, according to the current box office trend of the movie, the box office of "Zombie Out" is indeed amazing.

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, the residence of Harvey Weinstein, is constantly being visited by luxury cars today.

Jiang Ran and Zou Wenhuai and other main cast and crew members of "Zombie Out of the Cage" came to the manor early in the morning to greet all kinds of Hollywood stars dressed up with Harvey, as well as some behind-the-scenes Hollywood power figures.

Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group's films have been successful in the North American market one after another, and while they are eye-catching, they have also begun to enter the eyes of some Hollywood people. While continuing to pay attention, he continued to pay more attention to Ran Feng, a Hong Kong company, and Jiang Ran, a Hong Kong director and investor.

Therefore, after Miramax Film released the news that it was going to hold a celebration banquet for "Zombie Out", what was thought to be a small celebration banquet unexpectedly attracted the interest of many Hollywood filmmakers in the end.

This makes Harvey's villa look so lively today. Although there are not a few real Hollywood power figures, there are many second-tier Hollywood figures among the people who come.

"Jiang, congratulations! Your movie has once again surprised people. Robert Redford stood in front of Jiang Ran and exclaimed with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment! Mr. Redford. Jiang Ran responded with a smile.

……

"Jiang, let me introduce you. Harvey very enthusiastically pointed to the middle-aged white man next to him and introduced to Jiang Ran, "This is Joe Sivor, one of the best producers in Hollywood at the moment. ”

……

"Aran, this is directed by Robert Clos. Zou Wenhuai introduced to Jiang Ran with a smile, "A few years ago, our company's "Killer Trench" was produced in cooperation with director Robert. ”

……

After the banquet began, Jiang Ran, one of the protagonists today, was naturally not easy, and under the introduction of Harvey, Zou Wenhuai and others, he kept circling among these celebrities in Hollywood.

When Jiang Ran finally coped with it in a circle, and after sitting down in a corner, several people came over.

"Mr. Jiang, congratulations! "Zombie Out of the Cage" is really a wonderful work, isn't it?" said Joey Sibai with a hint of compliment, standing in front of Jiang Ran with two strange men and smiling.

"Don't mind if we sit down and talk?" Then he pointed to the sofa beside Jiang Ran and asked with a smile.

Jiang Ran and Joe Issibai are actually not very familiar with each other, and they only met once last time at the St. Denis Film Festival.

"You may be seated!" Director Joy. Jiang Ran shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

"Mr. Jiang, this is Shange Winton!" said Joe Siber, pointing to the tall and handsome man.

Hearing this, Jiang Ran carefully glanced at the future action superstar in front of him, he really didn't recognize it just now.

"Hello, Mr. Winton. Jiang Ran took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "It's nice to meet you." ”

After Jiang Ran and Shange Yunton finished greetings, Joe Sibo pointed to another middle-aged man and continued: "This is Mr. Alan Debervois, the producer of "Breakdance". ”

"Mr. Allen, it's an honor to meet you. Although Jiang Ran didn't know the middle-aged man opposite, since he could mix a movie producer in Hollywood, he naturally had unusual means and energy.

For such a person, Jiang Ran is very willing to get to know. After all, in an environment like Hollywood, where producers are paramount, it is definitely more useful to know a few more producers than to know those actors and directors.

"Jiang, I have watched several movies such as your "Zombie Out of the Cage" more than once. I have to say, you bring us a different kind of wonderful work in Hollywood. Alan opened his mouth to compliment Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran listened to the other party's compliment, and was naturally happy in his heart. Although I know that the few people on the other side must have their purpose to find themselves, who doesn't like to listen to compliments.

After a few polite words, after getting acquainted with each other a little, the other party talked about the purpose of this time, "Mr. Jiang, I don't know if you have paid attention to the movie "Breakdancing" that we released last year?"

When Jiang Ran heard this, he finally understood the other party's purpose, and it was obvious that the other party wanted him to release the movie "Break Dance".

Although Jiang Ran heard Robert Redford talk about a movie last time, he hadn't actually seen it. Of course, he didn't directly reject the other party.

"I'm very sorry!" Jiang Ran shook his head, "I've heard Robert talk about this movie, and I heard that it's a good work. However, I haven't seen this work in Hong Kong. ”

Jiang Ran's words made several people on the other side slightly disappointed, in fact, they found Jiang Ran, and they were also affected by the beautiful results of "Zombie Out of the Cage" in Asia.

After understanding and knowing the influence of Jiang Ran and Ran Feng Group in the Asian film market, they had the idea of letting Ran Feng distribute "Break Dance" as an agent.

After all, for a low-budget production like "Breakdance," it is unlikely that it would normally be released on a large scale in Asia and achieve impressive results.

However, if you can use the influence and channels of Ran Feng, it is possible to achieve good results in Asia, and for a small-budget film like "Breakdance", any little income is precious.

What's more, if the film really does well in Asia, then the influence of "Breakdancing" on copyright will be completely different, and even making a sequel movie is not impossible.

"Mr. Jiang, it doesn't matter. Allen's mood changed quickly, "If you don't mind, I'll immediately send a videotape or copy of the movie to your company for you to watch." ”

said, perhaps because he was worried about rejection, and without waiting for Jiang Ran to speak, he continued: "I have learned about the film market in Hong Kong and Asia, and there is basically no song and dance film in the market that is very attractive to teenagers. And our "Breakdancing" can make up for this demand in the market. ”

Jiang Ran was noncommittal to the other party's words, but he did not object, and said directly: "Mr. Allen, I will go back to Hong Kong tomorrow." But you can reach out to our Los Angeles office and if they agree on the potential of your film for distribution in Asia, then I'd love to work with you. ”

After Allen and Shange Winton left, Jiang Ran was not clean, and another director he met at the St. Denis Film Festival found Jiang Ran.

"'Zombie Out' is so exciting. Oliver Stone grabbed the gap after Allen left, walked in front of Jiang Ran in a few steps, and said politely with a smile.

Jiang Ran smiled politely, "Hello Director Stone, thank you for coming to this banquet." ”

"Of course, of course I'm here for your celebration. "You know I've been editing and directing horror thrillers. Of course, I haven't achieved as much success in this area as you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment! Jiang Ran said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, I am preparing a new film project now, I don't know if you are interested. Oliver Stone was very crisp, and after a polite sentence or two, he got straight to the point.

The reason why Oliver Stone found Jiang Ran was because he knew that Jiang Ran had the strength in this area, and Ranfeng Group also had this business.

On the other hand, it was because he got a hint from Robert Redford and knew that Ran Feng had plans to invest in Hollywood movies, so he took advantage of Jiang Ran's time in the United States to interview Jiang Ran in person.

Jiang Ran originally planned to invest in Hollywood films, which was a prelude to Ranfeng Group's further involvement in the Hollywood and North American markets.

"Oh, what kind of project is it?" Jiang Ran asked with interest, "Is it a thriller horror movie?"
