The successful release of "Chainsaw" by Ranfeng Group in North America was reported by "Tiantian Daily", which attracted a larger follow-up report the next day.

Director Jiang Ran's directorial work this summer, "Chainsaw", has been well received in the North American market, and has been released in more than 500 theaters and has achieved tens of millions of dollars. ——Ming Pao

"This summer, when facing Director Jiang Ran's new movie, many people said that Director Jiang had exhausted his talents, and he could only rely on plasma to attract attention. Now the North American media and film critics have given them a hard slap in the face. —Oriental Daily News

"Saw is a model of small-budget cinema. The film has a clear and definite audience positioning, through the ups and downs of the reasonable script story, the characteristics of the bloody horror, with ultra-low cost, successfully seeking huge profits, is a successful case that all Hong Kong filmmakers are worth learning and thinking about. - Hong Kong Economic Journal

"Saw Horror" was a great success in North America, and it is estimated that Ran Feng Group will make a profit of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and Hong Kong's young rich people are creating film fortunes. ——Sing Tao Daily

Ran Feng Group's release of "Chainsaw Horror" in North America was a great success, and looking at the profits of Ran Feng Group on this movie as speculated in the newspapers, countless Hong Kong people once again looked at Ran Feng and the young Jiang Ran.

The hype of the Hong Kong media made the release of the movie "Chainsaw", which had been suspended, start again, and even in the local market, Ran Feng once again began to organize a wave of releases on a small scale. In the end, the result was actually not bad, and after more than ten days of release, it once again achieved a box office of more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Tanaka, Saw is now a success in North America, and if your company wants to buy out the distribution rights of the film in Japan, then my asking price will definitely be relatively high, which is a high-risk thing for you. That's not what I, as a partner, want to see. ”

Today, Kenhito Tanaka of Japan's Daiei came to Ranfeng Group, mainly because of the success of "Chainsaw" in North America, which allowed Daiei to see the potential of this movie.

Kenhito Tanaka came to Ran Feng today to discuss the distribution of "Chainsaw" in Japan, but because the two heads in charge of the distribution department were not in Hong Kong, Jiang Ran personally received him.

Jiang Ran sat on the sofa, leaned slightly on the armrest, and said sincerely to Kenhito Tanaka with a smile on his face: "So, I hope that this time our cooperation with Dayei can settle our profits with each other through sharing." In this way, the risk will be relatively small for both of us. I wonder what Mr. Tanaka thinks?"

Jiang Ran looked at Tanaka Kenren with confidence, waiting for his reply.

In terms of film and television, Daying acts as an agent for the distribution of all films of Ran Feng Group in Japan, and Ran Feng also acts as an agent for the distribution of Daying's films in Hong Kong. The other two companies have deep entanglements of interests in the Oriental series of clothing, and Daiei can almost be said to be the general agent of Oriental charm in Japan.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang is very confident in "Chainsaw". You must know that your company's release on "Jianghu Love" this year is not very successful. ”

Kenhito Tanaka did not object to Jiang Ran's opinion, but laughed and made a joke about Ran Feng.

In the summer of this year, "Jianghu Love" directed by John Woo was released by Jiang Wei in the form of shares, but because of the sharing ratio and the lack of sufficient regulatory means at the box office, the benefits were finally distributed to Ran Feng, and the profits from the direct buyout distribution were high, which made many people watch a joke.

Kenhito Tanaka only wanted to seek more benefits when he mentioned this now, and he didn't mean much ridicule, so Jiang Ran didn't get angry, just shook his head and said, "Business is risky. Of course, the most important thing is that I believe in the credibility of the big movie, and you will not do anything at the box office for the benefit of a movie and hurt our mutual trust. ”

The final distribution of "Chainsaw" in Japan is still in accordance with Jiang Ran's opinion, and Ranfeng Group can finally get more than 30% of the Japanese box office and nearly 4 layers slightly exceeding the international practice of sharing the proportion.

The unexpected success of "Chainsaw" in the United States, under the all-round coverage of the media, it is impossible for Ranfeng Group not to express it, so Jiang Ran is ready to celebrate the film's North American success on the 15th.

Tuesday, November 15, 1983, Ran Feng Building, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Hong Kong.

Jiang Ran placed the celebration banquet of "Chainsaw Horror" in the living area on the ninth floor of the Burning Feng Mansion today, and specially invited a chef from the hotel to prepare the food for today's celebration banquet.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ranfeng Group has not yet gotten off work, and the cinema has just entered the busiest time of the day.

Liu Liwei, general manager of Ranfeng Film and Television Company, and Zhong Chuhong, who was in charge of economic affairs of Ranfeng, were already standing outside the building, ready to welcome the guests attending the celebration banquet.

"That's Zhong Chuhong, right?"

"Is there any activity in Ran Feng today?" Zhong Chuhong seemed to be waiting for some guest. ”

……

The crowd who came to Ranfeng Cinema to consume talked about it after seeing Zhong Chuhong.

Zhong Chuhong didn't have time to pay attention to other people's discussions now, thinking that the time of the banquet was approaching, and the guests attending the banquet had begun to arrive one after another.

"Beate, I heard you're planning to go to Hollywood? I think you should be cautious. Zhong Chuhong said to Beate.

"Brother Xian, Ah Liang, welcome! On the ninth floor, there is a staff member to take you there. Li Xiuxian and Wan Ziliang also laughed together and got out of a car.

"Aren't we here a little early? I heard that Mr. Jiang is going to give out red envelopes today, so I can't wait to come early in the morning. Li Xiuxian turned his head and looked around, and Zhong Chuhong said.

……

Liu Liwei and Zhong Chuhong greeted the guests downstairs, and Jiang Ran and Le Zhiren and other senior executives of the group were also waiting in the ninth-floor living area early.

At today's celebration banquet, the signed artists of Ranfeng Group basically came, and most of them came very early, and a few even arrived just after noon.

"Wan Ziliang, they are really lucky this time. "Saw Horror" did not cause much repercussions in Hong Kong, but unexpectedly it became famous in the United States. Chow Yun-fat and Lin Zhengying and several other contracted actors of Burning Feng stood together and sighed with envy.

"I've heard that this movie is very popular among young people in North America, and it is regarded as a classic of restricted films. Ren Dahua said with envy in his eyes.

Several male actors were envious of Wan Ziliang and others, and actresses such as Dai Yue'e and Guan Zhilin also got together to discuss, but their concerns were a little different.

After I joined the company, I heard that the ninth floor of the office building is very luxuriously decorated, with a swimming pool, gym and other facilities. Guan Zhilin looked at the spacious hall around him, as well as the bedroom, kitchen, etc., "There are tens of thousands of square feet in the living area here, right?"

Dai Yue'e and Jiang Ran first met, Ran Feng's first movie was to invite her to be the heroine, and later became Zhong Chuhong's first signed actress in the company, and she is much more familiar with the company's affairs than Guan Zhilin and others.

"When the company first moved, I came to visit. I heard Director Gui introduce that the total area of this living area is more than 20,000 square feet, and the decoration is completely compared to a star-rated hotel, including various functions such as leisure, fitness and life. ”

"That's a lot of money. Mr. Jiang is really willing to spend money. Ye Tong also sighed on the side.

When Xia Wenxi heard this, he wrinkled his nose slightly, and said: "Mr. Jiang invested millions of Hong Kong dollars, and now I heard that he has made hundreds of millions of profits. With such a speed of making money, will you care about this renovation cost?"

"That's right. The girls nodded in agreement when they heard this.

"I really envy Miss Zhong. I met Mr. Jiang so early and won such an excellent golden beetle son-in-law. Guan Zhilin turned her head to look at Jiang Ran who was standing at the door, with a look of envy in her eyes.
