"Saw 2" has been in theaters in Hong Kong for more than a week, and speaking of which, the "Saw 2" series of movies has earned countless money and reputation for Ran Feng Group in North America and other markets outside Fuzhou.

But in Hong Kong, the base camp, this movie has not achieved any good results, the first part has been released twice, with a total score of less than 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

This sequel movie, judging from the current situation, is not very optimistic. It has a more bloody visual look than the first one, and most people can't agree with such a movie, except for a small number of audiences with heavier tastes.

As a well-known movie in Hong Kong, "Saw 2" only achieved 500,000 Hong Kong dollars on the first day of release.

This kind of singing and declining voice continued until the box office results of the first three days in North America and the world were published by the "Daily Daily", and then completely reversed.

It was only at this time that Hong Kong filmmakers and media seemed to remember that since the first part of the "Chainsaw" series of movies, the majority of its box office has always been in Western markets such as North America.

These filmmakers and media in Hong Kong didn't think of this problem before, but they subconsciously ignored it. After all, it is not easy for Hong Kong films to succeed in the Western market, let alone two successes in a row.

Of course, there may be the media industry, as well as these Hong Kong film industry peers, who may not necessarily say that the restlessness and unconventional silent curse of Ranfeng Group.

When "Chainsaw 2" was published in "Tian Tian Daily" and achieved more than 19 million US dollars in North America in three days, the entire Hong Kong film industry can be described as boiling.

You must know that this is only three days, and it is only the North American market, according to this opening trend, the final results of "Chainsaw 2" will greatly surpass the first part, which is already predictable.

Seeing that Ranfeng Group may once again make tens of millions of dollars in profits on the "Chainsaw" series of movies, both the Hong Kong film industry and the media circle are in turmoil.

You must know that even if the Hong Kong film market is in its golden stage now, the total box office in Hong Kong this year is only 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the movie "Saw 2", in the first three days of the week, has achieved more than 32 million dollars worldwide. When converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is almost 250 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to half of the total box office of Hong Kong films this year.

And that's just three days.

In the face of such a big box office performance, some media in Hong Kong now estimate that Ranfeng Group can already compare with the total profits of several other major cinema companies in Hong Kong just by relying on the profits of "Chainsaw 2" this year.

Jiang Ran scoffed at such a statement, and now the profits of several cinema companies in Hong Kong are not limited to Hong Kong, it can be said that the whole of Asia is the world of these film companies, and they occupy at least more than 30% of the market share of the entire Asian film market except Japan.

Moreover, these film companies are supported by a fairly complete cinema system, with established companies like Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest even having their own cinema chains in Southeast Asia.

And the newly rising Golden Princess, in recent years, has also actively set up its own cinema chain in Taiwan and other places, even Ranfeng Group has begun to build its own cinema in Southeast Asia this year.

Therefore, the profits of these cinema line companies in Hong Kong are actually only a part of their overall profits.

Of course, Xinyicheng must not be compared with companies such as Ranfeng, after all, their distribution relies on the support of Princess Jin's cinema chain and financial resources, so most of the profits of Xinyicheng are actually secretly controlled by Princess Jin.

No matter what the actual situation is, under the encouragement of the media, Jiang Ran still received many people's inquiries and congratulations during this time, either envious or jealous.

Therefore, Jiang Ran has seen a lot of envy for Mai Dangxiong in the past few days, and he didn't think so, he just smiled indifferently and said: "This movie is really good in the Fuwai market now. ”

After speaking, Jiang Ran didn't say much on this topic, after all, he was already jealous, and if he took it out to talk about it, it would be completely showing off.

"I think this time, Mr. Mai, your "Provincial and Hong Kong Cavalry" has a great future at the Golden Horse Awards. Jiang Ran once again turned the topic to the Golden Horse Awards.

Mai Dangxiong smiled a little reservedly and said: "It's not good to say now, after all, on the territory of Taiwan, our Hong Kong movies are really hard to say." ”

Mai Dangxiong's words seem to be modest, but there is a sense of arrogance and self-confidence in and out of his words, as if he is really sure that after excluding the home advantage of Taiwanese films.

Jiang Ran smiled slightly and suggested: "No matter what, this time is a good opportunity for you and this movie." I think it's better for you to go to Taiwan in advance and visit the local landlords. ”

Mai Dangxiong nodded at Jiang Ran's suggestion and did not answer.

Jiang Ran smiled when he saw this, and said: ""The Cavalry of Province and Hong Kong" has achieved a good response both at the box office and in the art awards, does Mr. Mai have any plans to make this movie a sequel?"

Although within the Ranfeng Group, Jiang Ran constantly asked Liu Liwei and other departments in charge of film production to be brave in innovation and not just rely on movie sequels to survive.

But for film companies like Mai Dangxiong that cooperate with Ranfeng Group, he hopes that they will make more sequel movies, after all, sequel movies are much less risky at the box office.

And Burning Feng Cinemas desperately needs these movies that are relatively stable at the box office, but may not achieve too high results, to fill the gap in the movie off-season.

In the face of Jiang Ran's suggestion to make a sequel film to "The Cavalry of Province and Hong Kong", Mai Dangxiong did not reject it, after all, an independent film company like theirs wants to live a nourishing life, reduce risks and continue to make profits.

And making a sequel to a successful movie is a very good way to do it.

At the beginning, when McDonald Hung Film Company was newly established, after the success of "Pretty Girl", Mai Dangxiong followed the production of the sister chapter of this movie.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your proposal, our company actually has this idea, and now I can get Mr. Jiang's support, then I am more sure. Mai Dangxiong said with a smile.

Jiang Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "If Mr. Mai says something, I'll just say it casually." Your company is now the most important partner of our Ranfeng Group, and our group will strongly support all the films you produce. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran emphasized it meaningfully, "Even if it is a hot summer or Spring Festival, as long as you need it, you can discuss it with Jiang Wei in advance." ”

Jiang Ran's words made Mai Dangxiong stunned at first, and then turned into ecstasy, you must know that the independent production companies in Hong Kong now, although they are much more convenient in terms of film distribution than in previous years.

However, in terms of specific schedules, it is difficult for independent film companies to compare with several large film companies, and it is basically impossible for independent film companies to have a foothold in hot schedules such as summer and Spring Festival.

Of course, this summer, Ranfeng Group has arranged for McDonald's Hung Film Company and Debao Film Company's schedule.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Mai Dangxiong stood up, picked up the wine glass, slowly poured a whole glass of wine, brought it to Jiang Ran, and said very respectfully: "I won't say much else, I'll give you a glass of Mr. Jiang first." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Jiang Ran to speak, he directly drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said again: "In the future, if Mr. Jiang and Ranfeng Group need me Mai Dangxiong, I will never say anything, and I will take Ranfeng Group as the leader." ”
