Jiang Ran met Mai Dangxiong at the celebration banquet when Ran Feng moved into the new office building, and unexpectedly reached a verbal cooperation intention with him. lā

Jiang Ran attached great importance to this cooperation with Mai Dangxiong, and after determining the basic intention with Mai Dangxiong, he immediately found Gui Zecheng and Jiang Wei, who were in charge of distribution affairs with Ran Feng, and explained that they would contact them for the next cooperation with Mai Dangxiong.

After Jiang Ran handed over the specific affairs of cooperation with Mai Dangxiong to Gui Zecheng and the two, he came to a corner of the banquet hall, which was a relatively quiet corner.

Originally, in a vanity fair like the film and television industry, a banquet organized by a company like Ran Feng was a good time for everyone to socialize and build relationships, and generally no one would shrink quietly in the corner at this time.

However, no matter what the thing, there will always be exceptions. Now Jiang Ran found someone in this corner, someone he had been paying attention to since the beginning of the banquet.

Of course, please don't get me wrong, the object that Jiang Ran has been paying attention to is not a beautiful woman, on the contrary, it is a Lu man who is hiding in this corner now, and it is also a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance.

Jiang Ran took the wine glass, walked over, looked at the man in front of him who was a little decadent and barely squeezed out a smile at himself, and asked, "Brother Ke, why did you come here alone to hide from the quiet? ”

"Ah Ran, congratulations to Ranfeng for having your own new office building, and I wish you a new high in performance after relocation. After Tsui Hark saw Jiang Ran coming, he raised his glass and touched Jiang Ran, and said.

Jiang Ran took a sip of wine lightly and said with a smile: "Thank you! ”

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, the two were silent for a while, and Tsui Hark looked down at the wine glass in his hand, and there was no ** to speak at all. Jiang Ran was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

"Brother Ke, how is this time going, do you have any new plans for this year?"

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Tsui Hark glanced up at him, then looked at the people in front of him unconsciously, and said quietly: "What is the plan, I lost so much in "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" last year, and now who dares to ask me to film." ”

Jiang Ran was also silent for a while when he heard this, he had been pouring cold water on Tsui Hark when he first started preparing for this movie, and the results of this movie did make Tsui Hark suffer Waterloo, and even affected Tsui Hark's self-confidence.

"Brother Ke, in fact, although "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" failed at the box office, from the perspective of the development of the entire Hong Kong film, the significance of this movie is very important. ”

On the one hand, he opened a precedent for Hong Kong Xianxia magic movies, and played a very important role in the expansion of Hong Kong film themes. ”

"On the other hand, you used a lot of special effects in the filming process of this film, which also opened a precedent for Hong Kong films and opened up our vision for the future development of films. ”

"So, you have to pick yourself up as soon as possible and don't get old thinking about the box office problems of this movie. For us, the box office is important, but many times, the box office is not everything. ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, the look on Tsui Hark's face eased, but he still said with a wry smile: "You say that it makes a lot of sense, I did open a new theme for Hong Kong films, and I also brought movie special effects to Hong Kong movies, but it's a pity that these are all negative teaching materials." ”

When Jiang Ran heard this, his face froze, and he didn't know how to answer Tsui Hark's words. The two quieted down again, and in the end, it was Jiang Ran who broke the silence.

"Okay! Let's not talk about that movie anymore, it's all in the past, and it's useless for you to be melancholy. Besides, the biggest loss in this movie is Golden Harvest, okay? Jiang Ran picked at the back of his head and said loudly with a little annoyance.

Tsui Hark glanced up at Jiang Ran in some surprise, looking at the angry expression on his face, his heart warmed. This is a friend, a friend who can share the suffering.

The decadence on Tsui Hark's face decreased slightly, and he said gratefully: "Ah Ran, thank you for your concern! I don't have a big problem, it's just that I suddenly suffered such a big blow, and it takes time to relieve." ”

Tsui Hark said this, maybe because he was really depressed in the past few months, and now in the face of Jiang Ran's concern as a friend, when Jiang Ran was caught off guard, he suddenly turned on the nagging mode.

"Ah Ran, you also know how much effort I spent for "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", from film planning to release, it took me more than a year. I gave up on other projects in the company for this, and even got into a bit of an unpleasant fight with Princess Kim for it, which turned out to be a joke. ”

“……”

Jiang Ran kept holding a wine glass and quietly listened to Tsui Hark tell him about the efforts he made in filming "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" and the ridicule he encountered after the box office fiasco after its release.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Tsui Hark finally finished speaking and was quiet. While Jiang Ran let out a sigh of relief, he watched the depression on Tsui Hark's face disappear, and his heart was finally relieved that he would not be bombarded with such words in vain.

"Aran, I'm sorry! Tsui Hark reacted after speaking, with a hint of shame on his face, and said to Jiang Ran.

"It's okay! However, it looks like you've been suffocated for a while, and you can't stand this opening. Jiang Ran said with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Tsui Hark smiled lightly at Jiang Ran's joke, he vented Jiang Ran's general statement, the depression in his heart was gone, and he was cheerful, and he would not care about Jiang Ran's kind jokes.

"Yes, I've been really depressed for a while, thanks to your enlightenment today, otherwise I don't know how long I will be silent. Tsui Hark said with some emotion.

Jiang Ran put away the smile on his face and said: "It's good to open it if you want to, no one of us who makes movies can guarantee that we will always win and be undefeated, so we must be calm, just get up again if you fall, it's no big deal." ”

"Yes, it's still Ah Ran, you can see it, it's no wonder that your career is getting bigger and bigger now. ”

Jiang Ran saw that Tsui Hark really put down "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", and took the opportunity to ask again: "Then do you have any new plans this year?"

When Tsui Hark heard this, his face became a little ugly again. "Alas!" finally sighed and said: "I have been completely planted in "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" this time, I had a stiff falling out with Mr. Lei of Princess Jin because of this movie, and Golden Harvest accompanied me with money, and the popularity accumulated in the previous movies was lost by me. What I'm thinking about now is how to prove myself again. ”

Jiang Ran hopes that Tsui Hark can come to Ran Feng to help him, after all, Xu Laowei's ability has been tested by time, and decades later, when Hong Kong films are in decline, Tsui Hark can still call the wind and rain in the mainland market, which shows how strong his director's vitality is.

Perhaps because the relationship between the two is too familiar, Tsui Hark has never planned to open up to Jiang Ran. Since the two collaborated on "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Multi-star", Tsui Hark began to open his own company with the support of Lei Juekun, and the two have maintained a very good personal relationship, but it is precisely because of this personal relationship that Tsui Hark deliberately avoids having a relationship with Jiang Ran in work or interests many times.

In this regard, Jiang Ran was also very helpless, but he still said: "If there is anything you need my help with, just ask." ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Tsui Hark opened his mouth and looked like he wanted to say something, Jiang Ran waved his hand, and then said: "Don't feel embarrassed, I am also out of Ran Feng's own considerations, we are very short of movie sources now, helping you is equivalent to helping myself." Actually, to be honest, I would rather have you come to Ran Feng to help me. ”
