Chapter 242: Tsui Hark who is back on the road

Under Jiang Ran's arrangement, "Happy Ghost" completed the start-up worship ceremony very quickly and smoothly, but it was slightly different from the original arrangement that the reporter interview activities after the start-up were arranged outside the school.

"Please forgive me all journalists!" Shi Nansheng said to all reporters with a smile before the reporter asked questions.

"Because the school is still in normal class time today, in order to avoid affecting the normal learning of students, we have to invite you here, and please understand. ”

Shi Nansheng said to all the reporters, bowed slightly, then got up and continued: "In the future, if you need to know about the shooting of the movie, please wait here." The main members of the crew will come here every day to be interviewed by everyone, and we will also arrange a special person to receive you here. ”

Shi Nansheng said that he had actually communicated with these reporters before, so everyone was not surprised by this, and began to hand the microphone to Jiang Ran and several film creators.

"Mr. Jiang, I heard that this movie is your brainchild, what are your expectations for its box office?"

"Hehe! I don't think it's accurate to say that this movie is my own creation, because in the whole process of improving the script of the movie, I only occasionally came up with some ideas, and it was director Lin Jiawen and our company's screenwriters who really contributed to the film. ”

Regarding the reporter's question, Jiang Ran did not take credit, and smiled and pushed the credit to Lin Jiawen and others.

"As for the expectations for the film at the box office, I naturally hope that the more the better, and I am full of confidence in that. This is the fourth film directed by director Lin Jiawen independently, and I believe very much in director Lin Jiawen's directing ability, which only needs to look at the past achievements of director Lin Jiawen, everyone will know the source of my confidence. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and pointed to Li Lizhen and the three of them, who were sitting quietly on the side, "In addition, I have to talk about the three heroines of our movie, they are all the best and most potential newcomers selected from countless peers in Hong Kong after layers of screening. ”

"With an excellent and experienced director like Lin Jiawen in control, and an excellent and potential newcomer like Li Lizhen to join, there is no reason why our "Happy Ghost" should not be successful, and I think the audience will be blessed this summer. ”

Under the guidance of Jiang Ran, the reporter set his eyes on Lin Jiawen and several actors, and asked some questions about the casting of the movie, the roles of the actors, and so on.

Not a few days after the start of "Happy Ghost", Jiang Ran once again participated in the opening ceremony of the movie, and "Saw 2", which was produced by Tsui Hark and directed by Yu Yunkang, was finally launched on April 8.

"Director Yu, this movie will be fortunate to you in the future. After the start-up ceremony, Jiang Ran held Yu Yunkang's hand and said encouragingly. "If you have any problems during the shoot, you can contact me directly. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your trust. I won't let you down. Yu Yunkang assured with great encouragement.

Jiang Ran smiled and patted Yu Yunkang on the shoulder, and left the crew accompanied by Tsui Hark.

"Ah Ran, I'm ......" Before getting into the car, Tsui Hark suddenly stopped Jiang Ran, and opened his mouth with a somewhat evasive look.

Jiang Ran stopped walking towards the car, turned his head and glanced at Xu Hark strangely, frowned and said, "Brother Ke, if you have something, just say it." The friendship between the two of us is not a day or two, so there is no need to worry. ”

Tsui Hark only had a layer of estrangement with Jiang Ran from the last time Jiang Ran asked him to temporarily stop filming movies and switch to supervising "Chainsaw 2", which made Jiang Ran regret it from time to time.

Tsui Hark hesitated slightly, and finally spoke: "Ah Ran, I recently have a new idea and want to shoot it. After saying a word, Tsui Hark looked at Jiang Ran with a little apprehension and expectation.

Since Tsui Hark talked to Jiang Ran that time, although he couldn't see any change on the surface, the loss in his heart was real, and even his self-confidence was affected, so this was when Jiang Ran made this request, he would seem a little lacking in confidence.

Jiang Ran listened to Tsui Hark's words, looked at his expression again, and sighed in his heart, "I did something wrong last time." When he thought like this in his heart, Jiang Ran's face showed a smile of surprise.

"Oh, Brother Ke, do you have a new idea?" Jiang Ran had a happy look on his face, "Is there a script?" ”

Tsui Hark looked at Jiang Ran's surprised expression, and finally had a trace of warmth in his heart, "It turns out that Ah Ran really didn't mean to blame me." ”

After Jiang Ran asked him to take a break and turned to the production of "Saw 2", Tsui Hark always thought that it was because of the unsatisfactory results of the movie that Jiang Ran deliberately punished him, so while his confidence was hit, he unconsciously began to alienate his relationship with Jiang Ran.

Now, when he saw Jiang Ran's expression, he knew that he was thinking too much, and the haze in his heart was finally slightly brushed away, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, and even his eyes began to become vivid.

"I still plan to make another comedy movie first, which is more secure, at least it shouldn't lose money. Tsui Hark said this, with a wry smile on his face, "I have figured it out now, treat myself as a newcomer, and first ensure that I don't lose the company's money." ”

When Jiang Ran heard Tsui Hark's words, he sighed slightly in his heart, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, "That's fine! There are no too high expectations, there is not too much pressure, and after completely relaxing, maybe you can really shoot the previous state." ”

As for the reason for the unsatisfactory results of Tsui Hark's previous movies, Jiang then also thought about it, maybe it was because his mind was no longer on comedy movies at that time, but he just wanted to make "New Shushan Swordsman".

After that, after arriving at Ranfeng Group, he has been facing the shadow of the failure of "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", and with the pressure of Lin Jiawen, who can be regarded as a rookie director for him. As you can imagine, under heavy pressure, it is not so easy to make a cheerful comedy movie.

"Oh, comedy movies?" Jiang Ran glanced at Tsui Hark strangely, but he knew that the other party didn't have much enthusiasm for comedy movies.

"Brother Ke, you don't have to make comedy movies, as long as there is no problem with the script review, we Ran Feng will support you directors to shoot other types of movies. ”

Jiang Ran didn't want to limit Tsui Hark to comedy movies, the reason why he knew Tsui Hark in later generations was not through comedy movies, but through his whimsical martial arts movies.

Tsui Hark listened to Jiang Ran's words and was happy, but he still shook his head and said very firmly: "What I hope most now is to achieve some results in the next movie." And what I am most familiar with in the past few years is comedy, and now in the Hong Kong film market, the easiest to produce results is also comedy movies. ”

Jiang Ran saw that Tsui Hark insisted, and he didn't say anything more, he knew that with Tsui Hark's unbridled mind, as long as the new movie was successful, Jiang Ran didn't need to remind him, and the other party would definitely follow the old path of his previous life.

Then Jiang Ran asked Tsui Hark what he thought, and after he finished speaking, Jiang Ran's heart became more stable, because he knew about this movie in his previous life.

Under Tsui Hark's description, Jiang Ran is very sure that this movie should be Tsui Hark's previous work - "The Working Emperor", although he can't remember the box office results of the movie now, but since Jiang Ran knew this movie in his previous life, it means that this movie was pirated to the mainland, so its results should not be too bad.

After confirming that this movie was "The Emperor of Workers", Jiang Ran said very simply: "Brother Ke, since you now have the idea of a new movie, I naturally support it." ”

Jiang Ran said, pondering slightly and then saying, "In this way, you first discuss your idea with the editorial department and the production department to improve it." As for the crew of "Saw 2", you can't lose it, I'll ask the company to send another producer to assist you!"

Tsui Hark was happy to see that Jiang Ran agreed to his new film plan, and he had no opinion on continuing to work as the producer of "Saw 2".

"No problem! Tsui Hark patted his chest in agreement and promised, "My main energy in the early stage will definitely be on the chainsaw crew, and in the later stage, I will be busy with new movies after the new producers are familiar." ”

Jiang Ran nodded, then seemed to think of something, frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ke, the production of the movie has been decided like this, and there is absolutely no problem." However, there is a small issue that needs to be discussed with you. ”
