Jiang Ran was warned by Peter of Standard Chartered Bank on Asia TV, although he was very annoyed, but he couldn't seriously consider the impact of this incident, and he was secretly vigilant about his future behavior and that of Ranfeng Group.

After all, the fundamental interests of Jiang Ran and his Ranfeng clique are in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong will still be under the rule of the British government in Hong Kong for a long time. It can be seen from the warning of Peter, Standard Chartered, that at least some of the British people are very sensitive to mainland issues.

Jiang Ran didn't know that Peter's behavior was self-inflicted, he was in a heavy mood now, and he was going to leave directly to return to the company, but unconsciously turned to Qiu Degen's office.

"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Jiang Ran wants to see you. Qiu Degen's secretary whispered.

"Please come in, Mr. Jiang!" Qiu Degen said.

Jiang Ran walked into Qiu Degen's office with a heavy heart, "Mr. Qiu, didn't bother you, did you?"

After Qiu Degen stood up and invited Jiang Ran to sit down, he said with a smile: "Ah Ran, didn't you say that Ran Feng was in trouble? ”

Jiang Ran looked at Qiu Degen, and from his face, he couldn't tell the unhappiness on the board just now.

"At the board meeting just now, Standard Chartered Bank's attitude is fine, right? It won't affect Mr. Qiu and the TV station, right?" Jiang Ran did not mention the matter of being warned by Peter, but talked about the matter of the board of directors.

Qiu Degen's face darkened, and then he said in a deep voice: "Don't pay attention to Peter, he is not valued in the Standard Chartered system, and he doesn't have much right to speak, otherwise he wouldn't have become a director of ATV." And even if Standard Chartered really has a problem with our Asia Television, the senior management of their consortium will communicate with me privately. ”

Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, in the final analysis, his own background was too poor, otherwise, he would have the confidence to directly talk to the other party's high-level like Qiu Degen, and he would not be frightened by Peter.

"Oh, it's okay! I'm worried, after all, this matter is a trouble caused by my side, and if it causes trouble to Mr. Qiu, it will be too undeserved. Jiang Ran patted his chest and said with a smile.

"Haha!" Qiu Degen laughed when he saw Jiang Ran's appearance, "Ah Ran, are you also afraid?"

After returning to the company from Asia Television, Jiang Ran came to the group's distribution department. In the past few days, Jiang Ran has paid less attention to the Spring Festival activities, and Jiang Ran has paid less attention to the release of the movie.

In the distribution department of the group, in Jiang Wei's office, Jiang Ran sat in Jiang Wei's position unceremoniously, listening to Jiang Ran report to him on the recent movie releases.

"Mr. Jiang, our group's "Coke Family" was officially launched yesterday, with a total of 23 days of screening, and a total of 20.7 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. ”

Jiang Wei's words were full of excitement, and he also had reasons to be excited, after all, this movie was the first film to box office more than 20 million in 1984, and it really made a good start for Ranfeng Group.

Jiang Ran smiled and nodded, in fact, the entire Hong Kong film industry had already expected this, and even Lin Jiawen and Dai Yue'e also got new contracts from Ranfeng Group.

"Very good!What about "True Colors of Heroes 2"? What is the situation now?" Jiang Ran asked with concern.

After listening to Jiang Ran's question, Jiang Wei's face showed a rare trace of solemnity, "Mr. Jiang, although our "True Colors of Heroes 2" has a good foundation laid by the first part last year, because John Woo was stinked by the Hong Kong media, it has affected the results of the movie somewhat. ”

In addition, this Spring Festival Golden Princess's "Best Partner", Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki" and "Shaolin Kid" released by Yindu, these movies have a very good foundation and response among the audience. Therefore, "True Colors of Heroes 2" is still a certain distance from our expected results. ”

When Jiang Wei said this, he carefully looked at Jiang Ran's face.

Jiang Ran's face is really not good-looking now, because, in the final analysis, Wu Yusen is the one who made a stink with the Ranfeng Group, but now it has caused the loss of the economic interests of the Ranfeng Group, which makes Jiang Ran feel like he is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

"What are the respective results of these movies, and what is the audience's reputation?" Jiang Ran asked in a deep voice with a dark face.

"The Best Partner Queen's Secret Order" has the best results and reputation, with 7 million Hong Kong dollars in four days, and the reputation of this movie is very good. ”

Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Ran, and then said: "The other two movies, "Shaolin Kid" continued the reputation of the previous "Shaolin Temple", but because there were few screening theaters in Yindu, it only reported a box office of three million Hong Kong dollars in four days. ”

And Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki" also achieved a box office of nearly 5 million in four days, and with Xu Guanwen's appeal among the audience, the box office potential of this movie is very impressive. ”

Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Wei's report silently, with no expression on his face, "What about our "True Colors of Heroes 2"?"

Jiang Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Jiang Ran's expression carefully, and then said: "Our "True Colors of Heroes 2" was released for three days, and only achieved a result of 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and the audience's reputation for the movie is a little different from the first one, and many viewers think that the movie is not as exciting as the first one. ”

Jiang Ran is of course not satisfied with this result, which is at least one million Hong Kong dollars less than the internal expectation of Ranfeng Group, although sequel movies can rarely surpass their predecessors.

But with the current results and reputation, the final result of this sequel movie of "The True Color of Heroes" can exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars, Jiang Ran is a little uncertain in his heart.

You must know that the ticket prices of Hong Kong movies this year have risen a lot compared with last year, in this case, if there is a gap of tens of millions in movie performance, then it can basically be said that this movie is a failure, and even a big blow to the entire series of movies.

Jiang Ran had a calm face, propped one hand on the desk, raised his eyes slightly to look at Jiang Wei, and then asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Jiang Wei's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he glanced at Jiang Ran worriedly, and then said: "In terms of movie reputation, on the one hand, we plan to increase investment in the media and make every effort to create a relatively good word-of-mouth atmosphere, in order to affect the audience's perception." ”

"On the other hand, we want to make a fuss about the high expectations of the sequel of the movie, and strive to pull the audience's expectations of the movie to a rational level. Then there is to let Ah Fa and the others be more fortunate and run more theaters. ”

Jiang Ran was noncommittal about Jiang Wei's plan, sitting on the office chair, his fingers tapping on the desktop again and again, thinking about it slightly, Jiang Ran looked up at Jiang Wei and said:

"I don't care how you promote this film, but I want you to understand that this film is a very important film series for the group, and you have to ensure that the reputation of the whole series is maintained, and you can't affect the whole series because of one movie. ”

"I understand, Mr. Jiang!" Jiang Wei raised his hand to check the sweat on his forehead, and a trace of happiness flashed in his heart, he really didn't have a concept of the entire series of movie management, if Jiang Ran didn't specifically tell him today, no one knew if he would do something wrong in the future.

Jiang Ran glanced at him, and then said in a deep voice: "What do you think about John Woo's negative impact on the movie?"

Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Ran and said: "Our current strategy is to clear the relationship between John Woo and the movie to reduce the audience's subjective disgust, but in the current situation, the effect is not ideal. ”

Jiang Ran nodded and said, "Of course, no matter how you sort it out, it is an indisputable fact that John Woo led the filming of the movie." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran paused slightly, glanced at Jiang Wei, and then spoke again: "You can consider thinking from a different angle." The movie was poorly made, and it was all John Woo's fault. This can guarantee the reputation of our Burning Maple and the entire film series to a certain extent. ”

"In addition, since the audience is so disgusted with John Woo, can we push behind it? Let the audience vent all the dissatisfaction in the movie on John Woo, remove Ah Fa and these actors, and even make the audience sympathize with them and our Ranfeng Group. Moreover, don't you think that so many things happened during the filming of this movie, which is not a small topic in itself?"

"Think about it! Good and bad are relative, and all you have to do is channel the negative and turn it into the positive. Jiang Ran stood up as he spoke, patting Jiang Wei on the shoulder, "Organize people to make a new propaganda plan!"
