Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, two Hong Kong cinema bigwigs, also watched Jiang Ran from the audience. Looking at the young people on the stage who were full of spirits and the lively atmosphere of the scene, the two shook their heads in unison.

On the one hand, they were amazed by the vitality of Ran Feng and Jiang Ran, as well as the speed of development. On the other hand, they apparently do not agree with Jiang Ran's management philosophy.

Although I have long heard that Jiang Ran is generous to the people below, at the end of each year, a certain amount of bonuses will be given to employees. After the success of the movie, it would be reasonable to say that only bonuses would be given to important personnel in the crew. But like now, the matter of giving red envelopes to all the crew members seems a bit excessive.

After all, as a large film and television company, there are so many productions every year, and you come to give out red envelopes after every movie is successful, so how can you calculate the loss of a failed movie? It is impossible to deduct the salaries of crew members, right? And this kind of behavior will nourish the appetite of some people.

Of course, Jiang Ran did not plan to give red envelopes to the crews of all successful movies, every movie led by the company, the crew members have formal contracts, and the salary is also negotiated in advance, it is impossible for him to give extra rewards generously every time, which is not conducive to the company's future management.

The reason why Jiang Ran did this this time was because this time it did bring huge profits to Ran Feng. The salary given by the crew at that time was relatively low, in order to balance the mentality of the crew and enhance his reputation, he would be so high-profile and generous. After all, the sequel will also use some of the current crew.

On the other hand, Jiang Ran gave out red envelopes this time because the film opened up the North American market for the company. Jiang Ran hopes that through this high-profile, more Hong Kong filmmakers can pay attention to the North American film market.

Finally, because the film was a big hit in North America, it was able to distinguish it from the rest of the company's films, and to minimize the jealousy of the rest of the company's crew, after all, Hollywood always feels high, and the dollar is more valuable.

After Jiang Ran announced the distribution of red envelopes on stage, he put down the microphone and walked down, leaving Liu Liwei to preside over the distribution of red envelopes later.

"Mr. Jiang, congratulations on the box office hit!"

"Mr. Jiang, you are so generous!"

……

After Jiang Ran came down from the stage, people who didn't know him came over to greet him.

"Thank you for cheering!" Jiang Ran raised his wine glass and responded with a smile.

"Ah Ran, are you free?" When Jiang Ran was greeting a few kind-faced peers, Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to come over. "It's been a long time since we've seen you, and I want to talk to you. ”

When Jiang Ran heard this, he smiled and nodded to the few people in front of him, "I'm sorry! ”

"Mr. Jiang, you're busy. ”

Jiang Ran took Zou Wenhuai to find a quiet room together, and after pushing the door in, it was a small reception room. "Uncle Huai, sit!"

Zou Wenhuai obviously didn't expect that there was also a reception room here, and after looking around, he smiled at Jiang Ran and said, "Ah Ran, your office environment is too luxurious." ”

As he spoke, Zou Wenhuai pointed outside, "There is no shortage of swimming pools, gyms, kitchens and bedrooms, and the area is larger than most single-family villas." ”

Jiang Ran smiled slightly, "It was all made by the people below when I was decorating, and when I first came to see it, I also thought it was too extravagant, but it has already been done, so I can only use it." ”

Sitting down on the single sofa opposite Zou Wenhuai, Jiang Ran continued: "Now it seems that it is not without benefits. For a banquet like today, I don't have to rent a venue in a hotel. ”

The two then chatted for a while before Zou Wenhuai opened his mouth to talk about his purpose of looking for Jiang Ran today.

"Ah Ran, I watched the release process of your right this time. The upfront investment cost is not small, do you want to open the North American market?"

Zou Wenhuai leaned forward slightly, staring at Jiang Ran with blazing eyes, although he was asking, but the gaze behind the glasses revealed a sure look.

Jiang Ran is not surprised by this, as long as he has carefully watched the process of Jiang Ran and Ran Feng's release in North America this time, he will know how big Jiang Ran's early investment, how high the risk, and how firm his determination is.

Under such a high-risk situation, Jiang Ran still resolutely continued to promote the release of the film, which shows Ran Feng, or Jiang Ran's determination to open the North American market.

"Yes! I hope to be able to make a difference in English-speaking film regions such as North America. Jiang Ran nodded and confirmed Zou Wenhuai's words.

Zou Wenhuai's eyes flashed, and then his thin face slowly filled with a smile of approval, "Ah Ran, I knew that you would not be satisfied with the Hong Kong market, and sure enough, as soon as you gained a foothold in Hong Kong, you can't wait to drill into Hollywood." ”

Jiang Ran smiled slightly, leaned back, spread his hands, and said, "Who said that the dollar is valuable? Moreover, the North American market is not the Hong Kong film market, its value is much greater. ”

"Haha......" Zou Wenhuai laughed and nodded at Jiang Ran with his hand, "Ah Ran, what you said makes sense, and I have always thought so." ”

"I originally learned from Uncle Huai, but you are a representative of our Hong Kong film industry to earn dollars. Jiang Ran said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"When we Ran Feng were in the United States this time, when we recommended movies to those big companies, when we talked about Hong Kong film companies, people immediately asked, 'Are you Golden Harvest Film Company?' 'Aren't you?' 'Then we're very busy now, please go out!'"

Jiang Ran continued with a slight self-deprecation and a little sigh.

"Haha! You kid make fun of me. After Zou Wenhuai heard Jiang Ran's words, he laughed a little smugly, and after laughing, looking at Jiang Ran's slightly flat expression, Zou Wenhuai then sighed: "North America is the territory of Caucasians, and people of color like us, coupled with cultural differences, it is really difficult to achieve something there." ”

Zou Wenhuai said this, paused slightly, and continued with a look of memory and sigh: "Our Golden Harvest can have some fame over there, and it is completely supported by the fame that Bruce Lee played back then, otherwise, who cares about your Hong Kong film company in Hollywood?"

"Ah Ran, in the future, in North America, we should have more contact and support each other to keep warm. Zou Wenhuai then looked at Jiang Ran and said.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly when he heard this, "Naturally, we are both Hong Kong film companies, and it is a matter of course to take care of each other." Then he complimented: "But Uncle Huai, you are too humble." Even if you Golden Harvest don't have Bruce Lee now, haven't you been making a lot of noise in North America in the past few years?"

Golden Harvest has indeed focused most of its energy on North America in recent years, perhaps because the money there is more lucrative, or perhaps because the development of Hong Kong has reached a bottleneck.

"So, Uncle Huai, in the future, in North America, Ran Feng and I will mainly take care of your old man. Jiang Ran smiled and hugged his fists and said to Zou Wenhuai.

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "I have really worked hard to achieve something in North America in the past few years, but I have invested a lot, but I have not gained much. ”

Saying that, Zou Wenhuai looked at Jiang Ran, "It's not like you, I've earned a lot this time!"

Jiang Ran smiled slightly, noncommittal to Zou Wenhuai's words, but talked about the difficulties of distribution in North America.

"We were able to launch it in North America this time, and there was a lot of luck. Jiang Ran said with some emotion, "I have no way over there at all, and in the early stage, without any guarantee, I invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in publicity and shadowing." As a result, not many people went to the movies at the beginning. ”

Jiang Ran shook his head and slowly told Zou Wenhuai about the release process in North America little by little.

Although it has been reported in the media, Zou Wenhuai is still amazed when he listens to Jiang Ran's detailed account of the twists and turns and events that occurred in the announcement.

On the one hand, Zou Wenhuai was amazed by Jiang Ran's determination, and on the other hand, he was also amazed by the ability and means of Jiang Ran and others in publicity, whether it was renting a theater, or point-to-point publicity, or even creating gimmicks out of nothing, Zou Wenhuai had a new understanding of the promotion and distribution of movies.

Jiang Ran and Zou Wenhuai have a lot of common topics in the North American distribution and production of the film, and the more they talk with each other, the more they agree, and the topics are interspersed with future cooperation in North America, and they are even closer to each other than when they cooperated a year ago.

Jiang Ran and the two chatted about the deed, laughing from time to time, and the laughter spread through the door of the reception room that was not closed, but it attracted another person.
