When Jiang Ran was struggling with the problem of funds, the time had quietly come to the end of March. Jiang Ran's new film is still making slow progress in seeking investment funds, which makes Jiang Ran very frustrated.

However, when Jiang Ran's new film investment was not going well, Ranfeng Group's property acquisition plan went unusually smoothly. Even Jiang Ran didn't expect that Gui Zecheng had already completed five shops and a commercial building in just over a week.

The reason why the acquisition can be completed so quickly is because the real estate industry in Hong Kong continues to be sluggish, and the large-scale malaise and collapse of the real estate industry has caused many real estate companies to face huge losses and capital shortages, which even affects banks and other economic and financial industries.

Which real estate companies that are not strong and too aggressive have fallen early in the first wave of the collapse of the real estate industry, and those that can support it until now are basically companies that are not weak.

However, after more than two years of continuous operating losses, the continuous bleeding has made the situation of these remaining companies more and more difficult, and the real estate industry still has no hope of recovery.

So in this case, the acquisition of Ranfeng Group is relatively easy, after all, many people in Hong Kong are now in the conservative wait-and-see stage, the transaction volume of the entire real estate industry has decreased sharply, and the acquisition of Ranfeng can recover some of the urgently needed funds for these hard-working real estate companies, and reduce some of the pressure.

Of course, the smooth acquisition is accompanied by the outflow of huge amounts of funds, but fortunately, the acquisition of Ranfeng Group is not paid in full in cash.

When the real estate acquisition of Ranfeng Group was progressing exceptionally smoothly, good news finally came from Taiwan. In the context of the Taiwan government's loosening of the policy on non-governmental activities on the mainland, under the advance public relations of the Ranfeng Group, the Taiwan government finally officially lifted the ban on the Ranfeng Group.

After the ban was lifted in Taiwan, the distribution department acted very quickly and immediately followed up the distribution of the film, and movies such as "True Colors of Heroes 2" and "The Coke Family" began to appear in major theaters in Taiwan.

It was not until this time that the Hong Kong film and television industry and the media knew that Ranfeng Group had quietly solved the ban of the Taiwan government.

"Oh, the ban has finally been lifted in Taiwan, and I don't have to worry about it. After receiving the company's publicity notice, Chow Yun-fat patted his chest and said.

After he was banned by Taiwan last year, he was more worried than anyone else, after all, he is now the top brand of Ranfeng Group, who knows if the Taiwan government will see him unhappy and suddenly block him.

"Ah Ran, this kid is getting more and more powerful now, and it's only been a few months? Zou Wenhuai looked at the newspaper in front of him, shook his head and sighed.

Since communicating with Jiang Ran on Hollywood investment last year, Zou Wenhuai and Golden Harvest have become much less hostile to Ranfeng Group, and more have maintained a cooperative attitude in the face of competition.

Run Run Shaw looked at the news about Ranfeng Group in the newspaper, but he had mixed feelings in his heart, and on the one hand, he sighed at the development speed of Ranfeng Group. On the other hand, it is the current situation of the Shaw Brothers, and it is secretly sad.

After entering 1984, Shaw Brothers movies are getting weaker and weaker, and when the film market is getting more and more popular, there are more and more 10 million and 20 million movies, and none of the Shaw Brothers movies can exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office during the Spring Festival. This is a very bad signal for Shaw Brothers films, which have dominated the Hong Kong film industry for decades.

In fact, the number of Shaw Brothers films has not decreased, in terms of production costs, because of the increasing costs of actors and other aspects, the production costs of Shaw Brothers have also increased correspondingly, but at the box office, it has actually shown a downward trend.

This made Hong Kong filmmakers see the collapse of the Shaw Brothers film dynasty, and at the same time, it also greatly hurt Run Run Shaw's own enthusiasm for film, and they really began to retreat from the bottom of their hearts.

When Run Run Shaw was retiring, Lei Juekun, an upstart in the Hong Kong film industry and the behind-the-scenes boss of New Arts City and Golden Princess, is not at ease now.

Even after seeing the lifting of the ban on the Ranfeng Group in Taiwan, he only cursed in a low voice, "It's really a scourge that has been left for thousands of years, and I don't know what kind of luck the dog had, but it actually encountered the loosening of the Kuomintang's policy towards the mainland." I don't know how much money I stuffed into it this time, but there will always be a time when I get caught. ”

Although he cursed in a low voice, Lei Juekun's mind was not focused on this matter, he was still thinking about what Huang Baiming told him just now.

Just now, Huang Baiming came to Princess Jin alone, found Lei Juekun, and tentatively proposed to Lei Juekun, hoping to increase his equity in Xinyi City. Huang Baiming believes that he plays a role in the development of New Arts City no less than Mai Jia, but he only has a 9% stake, which is obviously very unfair.

Lei Juekun did not agree to Huang Baiming's request, but he did not refuse, but only experienced reassuring the other party, saying that he would consider the other party's demands, and suggested that he discuss it with Mai Jia and others.

In this regard, Huang Baiming did not say much. Obviously, Huang Baiming was just here to test Lei Juekun's reaction this time and express his dissatisfaction to him.

However, in Lei Juekun's view, this is already a very dangerous signal.

For Princess Jin and Lei Juekun, it is obviously impossible for him to take out his equity to appease Huang Baiming and others, and in his opinion, Mai Jia is unlikely to give up his interests.

Therefore, this matter is basically a dead knot, and the only solution now is to attract more talents for Xinyicheng on the one hand, so as to avoid the departure of individual people from affecting the development of the entire company. On the other hand, it is necessary to speed up the development of the new art city, increase the overall benefit cake, and make the dissatisfied people reluctant to leave the new art city.

Of course, Lei Juekun also prepared for the worst in his heart, if the situation in Xinyi City really collapsed, then he had to consider learning from Jiahe and setting up more satellite companies. After all, Princess Jin controls the theater chain and does not worry about the film company that she has no cooperation.

Thinking of this, Lei Juekun felt a little at ease, and at the same time secretly decided to find time to have a good talk with Mai Jia and others, and try his best to bridge the internal contradictions of the new art city.

Now the Hong Kong film market is at the peak of development, and the development momentum of New Arts City is just right, occupying nearly 30% of the market share in the Hong Kong film market.

Jiang Ran didn't know about the situation in Xinyi City, and he was now dealing with Guan Zhilin in the office.

"Mr. Jiang, when will the new movie start filming?" Guan Zhilin sat opposite Jiang Ran, with a pair of big watery eyes, and asked in a coquettish voice.

It's no wonder that Guan Zhilin can't wait, since she got a positive answer from Jiang Ran in November last year, she turned down all film and television performance opportunities and just waited for Jiang Ran's new movie.

However, now that nearly half a year has passed, Jiang Ran's new movie is still making preliminary preparations, and I heard that the investment has not been resolved, so I don't blame her for being in a hurry.

Jiang Ran also knew that this matter was a bit too much for Guan Zhilin, so he smiled and comforted: "Miss Guan, we have invested so much in this movie, so we have to be cautious, and it will inevitably take a long time in the preliminary preparations." ”

Guan Zhilin is very anxious now, she originally came back after the divorce, and her popularity is not ideal, in the past half a year, no work has appeared, she is very worried that she will be forgotten by the audience, so the situation in the future will be even more difficult.

"How long will it take?" Guan Zhilin frowned, "You see I haven't worked for half a year, and the company and Mr. Jiang don't support me, so I'm hungry and thin." Saying that, Guan Zhilin straightened up her upper body, which was not small.

"Is this a flirtation yourself?"

Jiang Ran thought in his heart, but his eyes involuntarily aimed at the slightly trembling peaks, and his heart trembled, opened his mouth a little dry, forced himself to look away, and just raised his head, he met Guan Zhilin's slightly smiling eyes.

"Cough!" Jiang Ran coughed a little embarrassedly, and then suggested: "Miss Guan, don't be in a hurry." If you can't wait, you can also ask your agent to give you more ads. ”
