Chapter 350: Troubled Celestial Superstar

β€”β€”A few days ago, except for a little thing, the company will have a holiday today, and three chapters will be updatedβ€”β€”

August 20, Ran Feng Building, East Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.

Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong walked into the theater together, there are a lot more reporters and audiences here today than usual, and even the artists under the Ranfeng Group have also come.

The premiere ceremony of the film "Extralegal Affair", which was jointly produced by McDonald and Siyuan and distributed by Ranfeng Group, was held here today.

Now in the Hong Kong film industry, because of the influence of Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group, as long as it is a high-grade film company and movie, basically the premiere ceremony will be held when the film is officially released.

"Mr. Jiang and Miss Zhong, thank you for coming to cheer up. Seeing Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong coming in, Mai Dangxiong and Wu Siyuan dropped the people around them and greeted them together.

Mr. Mak was polite. Your film is one of our group's key release projects this summer, and I naturally want to give it my full support. Jiang Ran smiled and shook my Mai Dangxiong's hand.

"Director Wu, thank you very much for your trust in our Ranfeng, and for handing over "Extralegal Affairs" to us for the distribution and operation of Ranfeng. Then, Jiang Ran looked at Wu Siyuan and said politely with a smile.

Mr. Jiang was polite. I should thank Mr. Jiang for his support. Wu Siyuan shook hands with Jiang Ran unusually politely and replied.

Counting up, Wu Siyuan is a senior and bigwig in the Hong Kong film and television industry, backed by Golden Harvest Company, and has a deep network in Hong Kong.

However, in the face of Jiang Ran, a young man who has just risen to the top, he didn't dare to put the score of his predecessors at all, and put his figure very low.

In the face of Wu Siyuan's politeness, Jiang Ran was not polite, smiled and glanced around, and asked, "I see that there are a lot of reporters and viewers who came today." Be hospitable, and don't neglect them. ”

"Don't worry! Mr. Jiang. Mai Dangxiong said with a smile, "Today's premiere, we have coordinated with Mr. Jiang, and nothing will happen." ”

"Okay, go greet the other guests. Leave me alone, it's all my own. Jiang Ran nodded, smiled and waved his hand to the two of them.

"I've been reading movie reviews these days, and the reputation of this movie is very good. After the two of them left, Jiang Ran and the two sat down in their places under the leadership of the staff, Zhong Chuhong whispered in Jiang Ran's ear.

"Well, the reputation is really good. The evaluation given by our group's internal film viewing club is not low. Jiang Ran nodded in agreement, "The potential of the starring Andy Lau is good, with both appearance and acting skills." ”

"Mr. Jiang! Ah Hong!" Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong were discussing in a low voice, and Chow Yun-fat came over to greet him.

"Ah Fa, you're here!" Zhong Chuhong stood up with a smile and said.

Jiang Ran also smiled and nodded, but his eyes looked at the slightly restrained young man standing behind Chow Yun-fat, and now the slightly immature immortal king - Andy Lau.

"Ah Fa, I haven't seen you in a while. What are you busy with during this time?" Jiang Ran asked with a smile.

"This year, the company has received a lot of advertisements and endorsements for me. It just so happened that I was busy with the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" during this time, and I just had time to deal with the accumulated endorsements and advertisements. ”

"By the way, Mr. Jiang and Ah Hong, let me introduce you to you. After Chow Yun-fat finished speaking, he pointed to Andy Lau behind him and introduced: "This is Andy Lau, the leading actor of today's movie." ”

"Andy is also from TVB, so he is my junior brother. The acting skills are good and very hardworking, and he is a young man with great potential and prospects. Chow Yun-fat praised.

"Hello Mr. Jiang! Hello Sister Hong! I'm Andy Lau, please take care of me. Andy Lau stepped forward and bowed slightly to Jiang Ran and said.

Jiang Ran still had a sense of accomplishment when he saw the most representative figure in the Chinese film industry in the later generations, looking respectful in front of him, and nodded with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Liu!" I have heard a lot of people talk about the name of "Wireless Five Tiger Generals" in the past two years. Last year, you starred in "The Condor Heroes", which was popular throughout Hong Kong. ”

Jiang Ran's words made Andy Lau slightly excited, and at the same time, a trace of embarrassing wry smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Jiang, Andy was hidden by Miss Fang last year because of the contract problem with the wireless station. So I want to ask you to help me see if I can intercede with Uncle Six. Chow Yun-fat directly stated the purpose of bringing Andy Lau over.

Chow Yun-fat said something, of course Jiang Ran knew.

But he didn't reply immediately, but frowned slightly and waved his hand, and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

After the two of them sat down, Jiang Ran turned his head to look at the young king who was looking at him expectantly, and said to Chow Yun-fat: "This was originally a private matter of Uncle Six's company, and it stands to reason that even if I have some friendship with Uncle Six, it is not good to meddle in the internal affairs of other people's companies." ”

Then in the slightly discolored eyes of Chow Yun-fat, he spoke again: "However, since it is Ah Fa and you who speak, it is not easy for me to refuse." In this way, Andy, you tell me the specific situation first, don't hide it. ”

This matter is actually not a big deal for Jiang Ran, with his current status, as long as he speaks, Run Run Shaw should sell him a face.

However, on the one hand, he and Andy Lau are ruthless and unreasonable, and he has no reason to give away his favors casually.

On the other hand, even if Jiang Ran takes into account Chow Yun-fat's face and Andy Lau's future influence and development, and sells the two of them a favor, he needs to let them know the difficulty, so as to remember Jiang Ran's favor today.

Moreover, since Chow Yun-fat took Andy Lau to find him in front of him today, it means that Fang Yihua and Ben did not buy his Chow Yun-fat's face.

With Chow Yun-fat's relationship with TVB and his current status in the Hong Kong film industry, since Fang Yihua didn't even give Chow Yun-fat face, it shows that TVB is very determined in Andy Lau's affairs.

It's a matter of course that I make it difficult for myself.

"Andy, don't hide anything, tell Mr. Jiang well. Chow Yun-fat patted Andy Lau's shoulder and said.

In fact, Chow Yun-fat didn't want to bring Andy Lau over to Jiang Ran for help, after all, the favor of a character like Jiang Ran is not so good.

However, when Andy Lau asked him for help, he thought that with his own relationship in the wireless station and his current status in the Hong Kong film industry, Fang Yihua should buy his face and easily solve this matter.

Therefore, when Andy Lau, who he admired very much, asked him for help, he directly patted his chest very simply and accepted the matter, and he knew that in the end, he touched Fang Yihua's nose.

But since he had already patted his chest, he had no choice but to take Andy Lau to find Jiang Ran here.

The contradiction between Andy Lau and wireless is basically the same as what Jiang Ran heard in later generations.

On the one hand, TVB now plans to launch the Five Tigers of TVB, and vigorously support Andy Lau, Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye and Tony Leung, so that they will become the leading students of TVB for a period of time in the future.

In this case, of course, the wireless station needs to consider the risks, for example, after a few people are popular, will others pick peaches.

Therefore, while the wireless station is supporting a few people, in order to reduce the risk, it wants to re-sign a new and more stringent economic contract with several people. And with Shaw's reputation for being stingy in the circle, you can imagine how this contract is treated.

And Andy Lau himself has not been in a long time since his debut, but he has also starred in several movies, and has achieved good results in Xu Anhua's "Running to the Angry Sea".

In the entertainment industry, they are also actors, and movie actors are naturally one level higher than TV actors in terms of status, so basically actors who have pursuits want to prove themselves on the big screen.

Andy Lau obviously has this idea.

And now that Shaw Brothers has leased the cinema chain to Debao, it is obvious that it will not do much in the movie. Therefore, after signing Andy Lau, it is obvious that Wireless will fix him more on the small screen.

And this is obviously not what Andy Lau wants to see. What's more, acting in movies is now much higher than TV dramas.

"Things are a little difficult to do!" Jiang Ran said with an embarrassed face after listening to Andy Lau's introduction, "On the one hand, the TV station obviously wants to praise a few of you, so it is reasonable for them to re-sign the contract with you and reduce the risk." ”

"Otherwise, the TV station makes you popular, but you pat your ass and leave, so why should they put resources on you. You must know that as long as you have enough resources, it is actually not very difficult to become an actor popular. ”

"So, hiding you like this doesn't actually have much of a loss for the TV station, just using you as a chicken to warn the other monkeys inside the TV station. ”

"So, if there are not enough reasons and benefits, Uncle Sixth may not necessarily sell my face. After all, you've now become a target for the actors below. ”

"In this case, I rushed to intervene in it, on the one hand, the impact is not good, after all, I am a shareholder of ATV, and I can even say that I am a competitor of wireless stations. ”

"Moreover, even if I find Uncle Shao Liu, he may not necessarily buy my face. ”
