Jiang Ran is in a very good mood, Yu Yunkang's joining has greatly increased the strength of the director team of Ranfeng Group again, at least in the future, Ranfeng Group will not have any more problems with directors in genre films such as horror and thriller.

After the big intention was confirmed, Jiang Ran was very happy to personally bring Yu Yunkang to Zhong Chuhong, "Ah Hong, this is Director Yu Yunkang." He has a deep knowledge of horror thrillers, and he will join our group in the future, and you can arrange for someone to sign a contract. ”

"Welcome Director Yu Yunkang to join you. Zhong Chuhong is already very handy in dealing with these things now, and after listening to Jiang Ran's words, he greeted warmly.

After Jiang Ran handed over Yu Yunkang's matter to Zhong Chuhong, he left first, did not go back to the office, nor did he go to the editing room, but came to a large conference room upstairs, where a small meeting was about to be held.

When Jiang Ran came to the conference room, he found that the relevant personnel of the distribution company and the film and television company had already arrived, but in fact, there were few people, mainly Jiang Wei, who was in charge of the distribution work, Liu Liwei, who was in charge of the film and television company, and Shi Nansheng, who was in charge of the production department.

Seeing Jiang Ran coming in, several people inside stood up together and greeted him, "Mr. Jiang, you're here!"

Jiang Ran glanced at the conference room, waved his hand, and greeted with a smile: "Everyone sit down first!"

After everyone sat down, Jiang Ran spoke again: "Since everyone has arrived, let's start." ”

Jiang Ran first looked at Jiang Wei and said, "Ah Wei, let's start with you." Let's talk about the release arrangements of "The Emperor of Jobs" and "Saw 2". ”

"Yes, Mr. Jiang. Jiang Wei nodded calmly, "First of all, we plan to arrange the release of "The Working Emperor" directed by Tsui Hark this month. ”

"And then "Saw 2", considering the possible piracy problems, we plan to release it directly with North America, so in terms of release time, it mainly depends on the arrangement in North America. ”

"Our main box office market in Asia is in Japan, and I've already contacted Kenhito Tanaka from Daiei, and they will release it in line with our promotion. ”

Jiang Ran nodded, turned his head to look at Liu Liwei, and asked, "Is there any problem on your side, and when the time comes, you must cooperate with the distribution company in terms of publicity." ”

"There is no problem on our side, and we must cooperate with the distribution company's distribution publicity. Liu Liwei nodded and said.

Jiang Ran nodded and said, "Since there is no problem, then this matter is settled." On the issue of the distribution of "Saw 2", you must keep in good contact with Zhou Rui and Miramax Pictures of the American company, and strive to be released simultaneously around the world at that time to create a greater sensation. ”

Jiang Ran couldn't help it in the end, and told a few people again.

"We will, Mr. Jiang. ”

Jiang Ran nodded, "Okay, that's all for the release of "The Working Emperor" and "Saw 2", let's discuss the group's film production and distribution in the second half of the year, and prepare for the end of the year and the Spring Festival." ”

Why did Jiang Ran convene a few people for a meeting just after the summer season, in the final analysis, it was to avoid the embarrassment of only one movie being released like this summer.

"Mr. Jiang, in the second half of this year, we are already working on two films, "Zombie Out of the Cage" and "Zombie Taoist" directed by Lin Zhengying. ”

"In addition, we also plan to make "The Coke Family" directed by Lin Jiawen into a series of New Year movies, and produce one every Spring Festival. In addition, we also plan to produce "True Colors of Heroes 3", which should also be able to catch the last train of the Spring Festival stalls. ”

When Jiang Ran heard this, he frowned slightly, and said: "The movie "The True Color of Heroes" will be temporarily sealed this year! The sequel we produced last year, the market and word-of-mouth response have declined significantly, let it go for a while, and then consider making a sequel after the negative impact dissipates." ”

"If that's the case, we'll only have three films to choose from in the second half of the year. After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Liu Liwei nodded and said.

Jiang Ran was not very satisfied with Liu Liwei's words, and said: "Except for the sequel movie, don't you prepare any other movies? Director Tsui Hark's schedule for the second half of the year is empty, right? And then you don't have any other new directors worth cultivating and wooing?"

Jiang Ran now has some opinions about the work of Ranfeng Film and Television Company, because Ranfeng Group has been going around, and it has always been those directors, and there is no awareness and enthusiasm for cultivating newcomers at all.

"Mr. Liu, Manager Shi, your film and television company needs to be more proactive in film production, take the initiative to launch good ideas, find suitable directors for these projects, and produce them. ”

"It's not like now, with only eyes on existing projects and a few of our contracted directors. You have to learn from other people's new art cities, you see how many movies they produce every year, and how many new directors they launch. ”

Jiang Ran's words made Liu Liwei's face red and white for a while, extremely ugly, originally because of the release of "Happy Ghost" some time ago, Jiang Ran was a little dissatisfied with him, and now in the company's film production and talent training, Jiang Ran was dissatisfied again, and Liu Liwei suddenly felt that his position was a little dangerous.

While his heart was full of a sense of crisis, Liu Liwei also felt extremely aggrieved, as the head of a company, when considering the issue of film investment, he must first consider the issue of investment risk and return, and then he can talk about cultivating new talents.

After all, in the film and television production industry, it is risky to cultivate new talents, and if you lose too much money on film investment, who will be responsible is obviously the general manager of his film and television company.

Although he was depressed and aggrieved, in the face of Jiang Ran, the boss, Liu Liwei obviously had no room to complain, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistakes.

"Yes! Mr. Jiang said yes. Liu Liwei did not hesitate at all, and directly got up to admit his mistake, "We are indeed a little conservative in film production, and we must increase investment in the training of new projects and new directors in accordance with Mr. Jiang's requirements." ”

Jiang Ran saw Liu Liwei's attitude, his expression softened slightly, thinking about the other party's business strategy, on the whole, there are no big mistakes, don't you see the big Hollywood companies in later generations, and they are more fond of sequels and adaptations?

Why is this so?

The main purpose is to reduce risks and increase the success rate of investment. Even if Jiang Ran just asked Liu Liwei to learn from the new art city, their investment principles are also like this.

As long as you pay attention to the film production of New Arts City, you will find that their investment is mainly focused on comedy films, and they are very conservative in other types of film investment, and the reason for this is actually to make the return on film investment more stable.

Therefore, from the perspective of company operation and investment risk control, the approach of Liu Liwei and other film and television company management is not wrong, after all, not everyone has the ability to see through time and space like Jiang Ran.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran eased his tone slightly, and said: "Mr. Liu, your business direction is generally not wrong, and you can control the company's film investment risk very well." ”

"However, our company cannot be satisfied with this, we need to develop overseas markets, and for this we need more fresh blood to increase the number and variety of talents in our group to meet greater challenges. ”

Jiang Ran's words made Liu Liwei breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and understood that Jiang Ran did not blame himself, "I understand, Mr. Jiang." ”

Jiang Ran nodded, and then after a little consideration, he said: "In this way, after you go down, you will discuss and discuss, and in the future of the company's film investment, a certain amount of funds will be dedicated to investing and supporting new directors and new types of films every year." Of course, the investment risk of such a film is very high, so it is necessary to give greater control and assistance in terms of the investment amount of each film and the management of production. ”

"Yes! Mr. Jiang. Liu Liwei and Shi Nansheng replied respectfully.

Jiang Ran nodded and said: "There are only three movies in the second half of the year for the time being, but in the face of the Christmas file at the end of the year and the New Year's file at the beginning of the year, such a production volume is obviously not enough." ”

"Mr. Liu, you have a good discussion with Director Tsui Hark, and strive to open another movie for him in the second half of the year. After thinking about it, Jiang Ran said to Liu Liwei.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang. I will communicate with Director Xu here. Liu Liwei nodded and replied.

"Ah Wei, you should also actively contact other independent film companies, especially the film companies that we work with, to see if you can find a suitable source in this regard. Jiang Ran then instructed Jiang Wei again.

"Understood, Mr. Jiang. ”

Jiang Ran nodded, finally looked at a few people in the conference room, and said cautiously: "Your distribution company and production company must communicate well, I don't want something like "Happy Ghost" to happen again in the summer." ”
