The grand opening of Ranfeng's new cinema in Central, guests and partners from all walks of life came one after another, and at half past nine in the morning, the people who should have come were basically there, and Jiang Ran walked up to the front desk with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your support and trust from all merchants and friends, so that our cinema can open smoothly today. Thank you ......."

"Today, we have ushered in a new chapter in Ranfeng Cinema, and our cinema is committed to giving consumers the most convenient consumption experience. We hope that after entering the cinema, consumers can buy all kinds of goods they want, enjoy all kinds of flavors and delicacies, watch all kinds of film and television works, and experience all kinds of entertainment and leisure services. ”

……

Jiang Ran worked stage to promote the various services and benefits of this cinema, and after a crackling boast, in a round of applause, Ranfeng Cinema finally cut the ribbon and opened.

After the ribbon cutting, Ranfeng Cinema was officially opened to consumers, and consumers who had been impatient for a long time poured into the cinema, and the counters of various stores in the cinema were already ready to welcome the first wave of guests since its opening.

After the ribbon cutting, Jiang Ran left the scene to the cinema to do various activities and performances to attract consumers, and he himself took the guests to visit the cinema.

"This floor is mainly engaged in various video tapes, records and books and other film and television publishing-related businesses, which are not much different from our original cinemas. Jiang Ran introduced the guests around him as he walked.

"The cinema we opened this time has added a special shopping area, a supermarket dining area, and a dance hall and other entertainment and leisure areas compared to the original. In general, the scale is not very large, and now it can only be maintained at the size of one floor per functional area. ”

"The size of one floor is not small. When Qiu Degen heard this, he said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, the scale of your place is bigger than the shopping mall of our Yongan Company. Guo Yongquan said with a smile. This time, Yongan Company also rented a shop in Ranfeng Cinema to operate their clothing brand that imitates the charm of the East.

Jiang Ran only smiled at the compliments of a few people, he himself saw the scale of those large shopping malls in later generations, compared to the shopping malls rebuilt from commercial buildings like himself, others are much more professional, and the scale and area are much grander.

Simply led everyone to look in the studio, Jiang Ran's eyes unconsciously brought joy, because after only a short time of opening, he could clearly feel that the flow of people in the cinema was increasing, and some places even began to look crowded.

Seeing this situation, not only Jiang Ran was happy in his heart, but even Pan Disheng and Guo Yongquan and other people who had shops in the cinema began to get excited. After all, foot traffic represents potential consumers.

Jiang Ran and the others didn't stay in the studio for long, and after taking a cursory look around, they went directly to a nearby hotel. Jiang Ran and Ran Feng will be here, feasting the merchants staying in the cinema and the guests who are here today.

"Ah Ran, you kid isn't interesting enough. After the banquet, everyone gathered together in twos and threes, and Run Run Shaw suddenly found Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran looked at Run Shaw a little blankly, thought about it, but still didn't understand what the other party meant, so he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sixth uncle, if you have something to say, just say it." I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Run Run Shaw glanced at Jiang Ran and said, "When I said that when you were looking for a partner for that big project, did you look down on us Shaw Brothers or how did you look for me? ”

Jiang Ran smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Sixth Uncle, I told you about this matter last year, and you weren't interested at the time, so I didn't dare to trouble you again." ”

In fact, Jiang Ran didn't want to go to find Shaw Brothers, but after weighing the energy of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in Hollywood, Jiang Ran finally chose Golden Harvest.

Originally, if there was no Pan Disheng's intervention at that time, Jiang Ran might have finally found Shaw Brothers later, after all, Jiang Ran still lacked funds at that time.

Run Run Shaw actually doesn't really want to blame Jiang Ran, with Shaw's current situation, even if Jiang Ran went to him at that time, he would not necessarily invest in that big project movie.

Now the reason why Run Shaw found Jiang Ran seems to blame, but in fact, there is a little taste of jealousy in it.

Since the beginning of this year, Shaw Brothers films have been in decline, but the corresponding is the newly rising Ranfeng Group and the new art city supported by the Golden Princess, which has conquered the city in the Hong Kong film market and has unlimited scenery.

Today, after he visited the new cinema of Ranfeng Group, he looked at the surging crowd and the more comfortable and advanced theater, thinking about the current situation of Shaw Brothers films.

Compared with the current situation of Ranfeng Group, it is just like the gap between the old theater of Shaw Brothers and the new theater of Ranfeng, one is dying and old, and the other is full of vitality.

Listening to Jiang Ran's explanation and looking at the other party's young face, Run Run Shaw suddenly had no interest in asking questions again. After a long silence, Run Run Shaw let out a long sigh and said, "I intend to end the Shaw Brothers Film Company. ”

Shaw's idea actually existed a year or two ago, when some of the Shaw Brothers films would perform quite well every year, but the rigid mechanism made the Shaw Brothers produce a staggering number of films every year, and only a few of them could be profitable.

And this year, the situation of Shaw Brothers Film Company is even worse, the number of film productions has not declined, but the box office results of the film are not flattering, although overall, with Shaw Brothers' huge Southeast Asian distribution network, there is no big loss, but the benefits are inevitably getting worse and worse, if there is no big change, the loss is basically predictable.

Jiang Ran listened to Run Run Shaw's sudden words, his expression was stunned, he knew that Shaw Brothers Films would eventually go out of business, but he didn't expect Run Run Shaw to have this idea now, and he didn't expect the other party to say this to him.

Jiang Ran now wanted to say to Run Run Shaw very much: "Sixth uncle, we haven't gotten acquainted to this level, so you don't need to tell me this kind of thing." ”

Of course, this was just Jiang Ran's thoughts, but he pretended to be surprised and asked, "End Shaw Brothers Pictures?" Sixth Uncle, I heard you right, right?"

Run Run Shaw glanced sideways at Jiang Ran, who was shouting, and then nodded with a somewhat gloomy expression, and asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Ran didn't speak immediately in the face of Run Run Shaw's temptation, nodded and thought about it, and asked, "I'm very interested, but I don't know what Uncle Sixth plans to do?

For Shaw Brothers Film Company, if Run Run Shaw really plans to sell it, Jiang Ran will of course be very interested, not to mention anything else, just the cinema company under Shaw Brothers can bring great help to Ranfeng Group.

However, as far as Jiang Ran's memory goes, it seems that Run Run Shaw only rented out the theater chain in the end, and did not sell it directly.

Sure enough, Run Run Shaw's next words verified Jiang Ran's memory, "I have no intention of selling! If you are interested, I can rent the theater to you." ”

Although he was prepared in his heart, after listening to Run Run Shaw's words, Jiang Ran still couldn't help frowning, "Only rent or not sell?"

"Yes, only rent, not sell. Shaw replied firmly.

Jiang Ran frowned and glanced at Run Run Shaw, seeing that the other party's demeanor did not look like a fake, Jiang Ran immediately gave up the little thought about Shaw Brothers Cinemas that had just risen in his heart.

Run Run Shaw doesn't seem to really want to give up the film industry completely, he seems to have ended Shaw Brothers this time, but he has retained the cinema chain in his hands, and in the future, when necessary, he can completely re-establish the Shaw Brothers signboard, and when the time comes, he will push to a new company to rebuild, and there will be no more current constraints.

For Jiang Ranyan, if he can't get the ownership of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, there is no need for him to spend a lot of money to rent this unstable cinema line, and it is better to build a new cinema by himself with that fund.

After all, although Run Run Shaw did not say how much the annual rent of this cinema line is, it will not be a decimal number no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, now Ranfeng Group itself has seven theaters, more than a dozen theaters, plus some scattered theaters for long-term cooperation, which can basically meet its own needs, and the demand for theaters is not very urgent.

In addition, many locations of Shaw Brothers' cinema chain overlap with the cinemas of Ranfeng Group, coupled with the huge gap between Shaw Brothers' cinema chain and Ranfeng Group in terms of cinema hardware.

If Jiang Ran takes over, reconstruction and demolition are essential, and these need to be owned to be realized.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran shook his head and said, "If that's the case, I can only give up with regret." ”

"Mr. Shao, Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about?" Pan Disheng didn't know where he came from.

Jiang Ran glanced at Pan Disheng with some strangeness, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Debao Company can succeed in the future life, in addition to Pan Disheng's financial support, luck seems to be indispensable." Otherwise, how could it be just in time for Shaw to end Shaw?"
