Andy Lau's eyes, which were originally full of expectation, instantly lost their color with Jiang Ran's words. After hearing Jiang Ran's words, Chow Yun-fat's heart moved, and he said: "Mr. Jiang, what if Andy puts the brokerage contract in our company?

Chow Yun-fat's words made Andy Lau's eyes light up, and then he showed a trace of hesitation, after all, according to his heart, he didn't want to sign a specific company, such a constraint was too great.

This kind of thinking is very common among Hong Kong artists in this era, on the one hand, in Hong Kong now, economic companies are very extensive in the economic management of artists, and they basically just stay at the level of fighting for film and television jobs for one person.

As for other things such as career planning, overall packaging, media and public relations, etc., in this day and age, economic companies basically have no formal management.

Therefore, many artists in the circle do not pay attention to economic people, after all, the work that agents can do, they or their families can do.

In that case, why should we give our own share to others?

Therefore, in this era, most artists are basically in a state of fighting alone, and signing contracts with companies is basically based on signing a contract with the head of the work department, and making money is basically based on film and television remuneration.

At present, in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, the only company with the best economic management of artists is Ranfeng Group, at least under Jiang Ran's suggestion, Ranfeng Group has begun to carry out formal and systematic management of economic companies and artist brokers.

Jiang Ran listened to Chow Yun-fat's words, glanced at Andy Lau, who was obviously a little hesitant, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Sign up with our company? ”

Although Jiang Ran has the idea of signing Andy Lau, the future superstar, at present, Andy Lau is just a well-known newcomer, and it is not enough to sign.

Even if it later became popular all over Asia with the reputation of the Four Heavenly Kings, in fact, this was more of a packaging and publicity success, and the Four Heavenly Kings initially represented more of Hong Kong's four idol singers.

On the one hand, they were able to quickly become popular all over Asia, which reflected the lack of high-quality idols in the entertainment industry at that time, the need of fans and idol culture, and the success of publicity and packaging methods.

On the other hand, their success, apart from a hint of chance, has to mention the overall situation of the Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time. At that time, the development of the Hong Kong film and television industry had actually begun to encounter bottlenecks and was in danger of going downhill.

The Hong Kong film and television industry needs to continue to maintain its influence and status in the whole of Asia, and the emergence of four idols with great influence obviously meets the needs of the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time.

Therefore, Andy Lau and others formed the Four Heavenly Kings, so that after being recognized by the people in Hong Kong, they were quickly promoted to the whole of Asia as representatives of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and finally became Asia's top superstars who can compete with Jackie Chan and others.

However, as long as you take a look at the four of them rationally and objectively, except for Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung, who have a certain amount of work support and accumulation, the other two basically just stay at the level of handsome appearance and idol star, and they didn't have any works at that time.

In fact, in the early days, that is, two thousand years ago, even Andy Lau was more regarded as a high-quality idol in people's senses.

It is precisely because of this that when Jiang Ran saw the other party's hesitation, he immediately put out his plan to sign Andy Lau. On the one hand, the twisted melon is not sweet.

On the other hand, it can be seen from the fact that Andy Lau would rather be hidden by wireless than sign a contract with wireless, this is a person with his own opinions and plans, and his ambitions are not small.

With such a person, even if Jiang Ran signs him, the possibility of the other party running away and flying solo in the end will be very high. Rather than this, it is better to simply give the other party a favor now.

"However, no matter what, since Ah Fa has found me, then I will definitely greet the sixth uncle and solve this matter as much as possible. However, I will do my best to say things before, but I can't guarantee what the final result will be. ”

Jiang Ran's meaning is very clear, the reason why he helps is mainly for Chow Yun-fat's face, and there is no guarantee that things can be done.

Chow Yun-fat obviously saw the hesitation on Andy Lau's face at this time, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, and after listening to Jiang Ran's words, he immediately said: "Then trouble Mr. Jiang." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Andy Lau hurriedly thanked him when he heard this.

After the two left, Zhong Chuhong frowned slightly and said, "This Andy is a little unscrupulous!"

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "It's okay, it's mainly to sell Ah Fa to save face." ”

The subsequent premiere was a great success and the audience responded very well to the film.

"Mr. Mai, Director Wu, very wonderful film. After the premiere, Jiang Ran said with a smile to Mai Dangxiong and Wu Siyuan.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for the compliment. Hopefully we can get a good result. Mai Dangxiong said with a happy face.

"As long as the quality of publicity is guaranteed in the later stage, I believe that with the quality of this work, the box office results will not disappoint us. Jiang Ran said with great certainty.

"Then thank you Mr. Jiang for your kind words. Wu Siyuan replied with a smile.

After leaving the theater, Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong walked to the office together, and met Chow Yun-fat with an embarrassed expression on the way.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry! Andy was a little confused just now. ”

Jiang Ran patted Chow Yun-fat's shoulder with a smile and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, these are all small things, don't take it to heart." Andy's performance in "Extralegal Affairs" is good, you tell him not to worry, wait until the influence of the movie comes out, I will go to Uncle Six, things will be easier. ”

"I see, Mr. Jiang. Thank you so much this time. Chow Yun-fat said gratefully.

"Alright, Ah Fa. You don't have to be polite, Ah Ran is just a matter of saying hello to Uncle Shao Liu. Zhong Chuhong and Chow Yun-fat have always had a good relationship, and when he saw Chow Yun-fat's appearance, he interrupted with some impatience.

After attending the premiere ceremony of "Extralegal Affair", Jiang Ran once again focused on his own movie, and the performance of "Extralegal Affair" in the box office market was indeed eye-catching.

From the official release on the 20th to August 25, in just six days in the first week of release, more than 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars were reported.

Seeing that the box office results of the movie are getting better and better, and even appearing in the media more and more frequently with Andy Lau, Jiang Ran has also fulfilled his promise to Chow Yun-fat.

"Uncle Six, what have you been busy with lately?" Jiang Ran made a phone call to Run Run Shaw after the results of the first week of "Extralegal Affairs" came out.

"What can I do? If the movie is not good, I can only be busy with the TV station. There was some sourness in Shaw's words, but there was also a hint of loss and self-deprecation.

Jiang Ran was a little short of words when he heard this, and only after half a sound did he comfort: "Where did the sixth uncle say, your wireless station is now the bull's ear in the Hong Kong TV circle." ”

"Hehe!" Run Run Shaw smiled when he heard this, and then asked, "Tell me, what are you looking for me today? You have always been a person who has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

Jiang Ran smiled a little embarrassedly, and then simply told Andy Lau about it.

"Ah Ran, I said that you are digging me so often, is it a bit excessive. Run Run Shaw was obviously a little unhappy, he obviously thought that Jiang Ran had taken a fancy to Andy Lau and wanted to poach people from him.

Run Run Shaw's words made Jiang Ran a little embarrassed, it is true that many of the artists under the Ranfeng Group are actually from wireless and Shaw Brothers.

For example, Chow Yun-fat, Zhong Chuhong, Dai Yuengor, Ren Dahua and others among the artists, and Wang Jing and To Qifeng and others behind the scenes, are basically people from wireless or Shaw Brothers.

"Sixth uncle, you misunderstood. Jiang Ran explained with some embarrassment, "I didn't mean to sign Andy Lau, the main reason was that Ah Fa found me, so I wanted to ask Uncle Sixth to see if I could find a plan acceptable to both parties." ”

"After all, now Andy Lau's "Extralegal Affair" starring is performing well, Andy has basically opened up the situation in the film industry, and it will not be beneficial for either of you to continue to stalemate like this. ”

Indeed, as Jiang Ran said, although Andy Lau could not receive any announcements from the TV station, but now with the success of "Extralegal Affairs", he has opened up the situation in the film industry.

And now with the loan of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Shaw Brothers has basically stopped production, and Shaw's influence in the film industry has also been greatly reduced, so after Andy Lau opens up the situation in the film industry, Shaw may not be able to completely ban Andy Lau.

Therefore, it is a win-win option for both parties to sit down and renegotiate.

Run Run Shaw obviously understood the truth, and after being silent for a while, he said: "I'll buy you Ah Ran a face, and you let Andy go directly to Yihua." ”
