Chapter 75 Copyright
After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Kenhito Tanaka knew that this should already be Jiang Ran's bottom line, it was impossible for Ran Feng to take all the risks on himself while giving away his benefits, considering the quality of Ran Feng's film source, even if there was no big release, it should not be difficult to distribute it in RB.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Tanaka Kenhito said to Jiang Ran: "Then does Mr. Jiang have any specific considerations about the number of issues we issue each year?"
Jiang Ran knew that Tanaka Jianren had accepted his proposal, so after hearing his words, he said with a happy smile: "Mr. Tanaka, this data will definitely be determined after consultation between the two of us, how much is the specific, and then I will let Minister Jiang Wei be responsible for discussing it with you, what do you think?"
When Tanaka Jianren heard Jiang Ran hand over the specific matter to Jiang Wei, he knew that there would basically be no major problems for Daying to seek cooperation with Ran Feng, and there would be some competition for specific interests later.
Kenhito Tanaka raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Jiang Ran, "No problem! Mr. Jiang." I wish us a happy cooperation between Dayei and Ran Feng!"
Jiang Ran took a sip of wine slowly, and then said to Tanaka Jianren: "Mr. Tanaka, in fact, our cooperation space is not only for movies, but also for our Ranfeng Group to have many other businesses, I wonder if Daying is interested?"
Of course, Kenhito Tanaka knows that Ranfeng Group has other businesses, but he is only responsible for the purchase of films in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he has no in-depth understanding of Ranfeng's business other than movies. Now Jiang Ran's words aroused his interest.
"Oh, I don't know much about Ran Feng's other businesses, if Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, can you introduce me to it?"
After listening to Tanaka's words, Jiang Ran sorted out his thoughts and said: "We have a "Oriental Charm" magazine and the corresponding clothing brand under Ranfeng, and now we have built channels in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. ”
"Last month, the magazine's circulation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan reached 700,000 copies, and with the circulation in Hong Kong, the magazine's monthly circulation has exceeded 1 million. ”
The corresponding clothing brand has more than 20 stores in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with monthly sales of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"Another brick-and-mortar distribution company under the Ranfeng Group, we have 15 video and book rental chains in Hong Kong, covering most of Hong Kong, and are the largest video and book rental stores in Hong Kong. ”
Jiang Ran said this, glanced at Tanaka Jianren, and then continued: "Whether it is magazines or clothing, these industries are aimed at us Orientals, and RB is of course no exception. Mr. Tanaka If interested, we can cooperate to bring them to RB. ”
"In addition, the rental and sales channels of our DVD and book rental chain stores can be opened to Tai Ying, and various books, periodicals, DVDs and records can be sold by Tai Ying as an agent, so as to introduce RB's excellent works to Hong Kong people. ”
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he glanced at the pensive Tanaka Kenhito, did not disturb him, and quietly waited for him to consider his suggestion.
Kenhito Tanaka seriously considered Jiang Ran's words, although he didn't know much about the industry other than films, but he also felt that Jiang Ran's proposal could bring benefits to the screening.
After all, Daiei Co., Ltd., as a large film and television company in the past of RB, was involved in media distribution, and although it is not in a good situation now, it is still easy to run a magazine and a clothing brand.
As for the film and television books that rely on Ran Feng to distribute the big movie in Hong Kong, although the circulation may not be large, after all, the market in Hong Kong is so big, but for the current big movie, no matter how small the fly is, they will not dislike the lack of meat.
After thinking about it clearly, Tanaka Kenhito raised his head and said to Jiang Ran: "I am very interested in Mr. Jiang's proposal, but I am not in charge of this aspect of the work, so I need to ask the headquarters for the final result." ”
After Jiang Ran heard Tanaka Jianren's words, he pointed at Gui Zecheng and said with a smile: "I understand Mr. Tanaka's difficulty, this is Gui Zecheng, the director of our group who is in charge of business, and Mr. Tanaka can contact him if he has any questions about Ranfeng's business in the future." ”
After introducing Gui Zecheng, the two sides have basically reached an intention to cooperate, Jiang Ran did not talk about the company's cooperation with Tanaka Jianren, and the atmosphere at the table was relaxed.
The day after Jiang Ran finished meeting with Kenhito Tanaka, Daiei negotiated with Ran Feng about the release of "Police Story" on RB, because both parties had plans for long-term cooperation, so this time the negotiations went smoothly.
On the same day, the distribution rights of "Police Story" in RB were confirmed, and Ran Feng sold the distribution rights of "Police Story" in RB to Daying Company for 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
While busy with the distribution of "Police Story", Jiang Ran faintly got the news that Golden Harvest had plans to let Jackie Chan start another and make a movie similar to "Police Story".
This made Jiang Ran have to face a very real problem, that is, Jackie Chan is needed to make a sequel to the movie "Police Story", but Jackie Chan is a person from Golden Harvest Company, once Golden Harvest does not let go or starts anew, it will have a very big impact on the sequel of "Police Story", what will Ran Feng do then?
In the movie "Police Story", Jackie Chan originally played a very important role in it. Now the audience has also recognized the role of Jackie Chan, which further strengthens the importance of Jackie Chan in the movie.
And as Jackie Chan's influence in this movie increases, it will cause Ran Feng to make the sequel to "Police Story", first of all, Jackie Chan's requirements for remuneration and treatment will increase significantly, and Jackie Chan may even ask to take the lead in the production of the film.
On the other hand, Golden Harvest may not agree to Jackie Chan starring in "Police Story" again, after all, in this movie, they do not have much interest, and Golden Harvest can completely leave Ran Feng to make it himself in order to occupy more profits.
Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, it will be difficult for Burning Feng Films to rely on Jackie Chan to produce a sequel to "Police Story" in the future, and it will not take the initiative.
As for replacing Jackie Chan and finding another actor, Jiang Ran also considered it. Don't say whether the audience accepts it or not, even if the audience accepts it, what is the difference between this and remaking a police film, it's too wasteful of the signboard of "Police Story".
Therefore, Jiang Ran is considering whether it is possible to sell the copyright of "Police Story" to Golden Harvest, and he only retains the adaptation right, leaving room for making movies of the same type in the future.
After thinking about it, Jiang Ran convened the company's management and discussed it together, and finally decided to sell the copyright of "Police Story".
"Ah Long, I'm Jiang Ran. Let me ask you something, our group is now developing the Southeast Asian and Taiwan markets, and the funds are a little tight, I want to sell the copyright of "Police Story", and I would like to ask your opinion. ”
Jiang Ran called Jackie Chan, of course, he didn't really need to ask Jackie Chan's opinion, he just wanted to test Zou Wenhuai through Jackie Chan's mouth.
After Jackie Chan heard Jiang Ran's words on the phone, he was a little confused, the results of "Police Story" were so good, he didn't know why Jiang Ran wanted to give up this gold mine.
"Director Jiang, you make a lot of money on "Police Story", right? Why are you still short of funds?" Speaking of this, Jackie Chan asked with some emotion: "Who are you going to sell the copyright to?"
Jiang Ran didn't know that Jackie Chan was interested in copyright, and after hearing his words, he said: "There are only a few companies in Hong Kong that have the ability to buy copyrights, as for the price, I won't buy it if it's less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, of course, it will depend on who has a higher price." ”
"However, as the soul of this movie, if Aaron has any opinions, you can also put them forward, and in the case of a small price difference, I will consider your opinions. ”
After Jackie Chan heard Jiang Ran's lowest offer of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, the trace of ambition that had just risen in his heart was immediately ruthlessly extinguished.
"Oh, I don't have any opinions, Mr. Jiang, you can just watch it. Jackie Chan said disheartenedly.
However, after ending the call with Jiang Ran, Jackie Chan realized a problem, if "Police Story" was sold by Princess Jin and Shaw Brothers, then this movie would probably have nothing to do with him Jackie Chan anymore, this is not what he wants to see.
Thinking of this, Jackie Chan immediately drove to Jiahe Company and found Zou Wenhuai. Jackie Chan hopes that Golden Harvest can win "Police Story" so that his interests in this movie are guaranteed.
"Mr. Zou, I just got the news that Ran Feng is short of funds and plans to sell the copyright of "Police Story". ”
