Jiang Ran and Chen Baisen met at a club in Central, "Mr. Chen, long time no see!" Jiang Ran said politely after meeting.

Chen Baisen stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Ran with a slight loss, and said with a humble smile: "Mr. Jiang, hello!"

Jiang Ran waited for Chen Baisen to sit down, said a few polite words, and said directly: "Mr. Chen, I am a cheerful person. I've heard that this year's Academy Awards have had some difficulties, and as a member of the Hong Kong film community, I've been very supportive of you in hosting our own Hong Kong Film Awards. ”

"So now I want to ask, do you have anything you need my help with, I don't want a film award that has been around in Hong Kong for a long time to be suspended because of funding issues. ”

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he looked at Chen Baisen so calmly, waiting for his reply.

Chen Baisen faced Jiang Ran's calm eyes, lowered his eyelids with some weakness, swallowed his saliva slightly, calmed down his mood, and then said: "If Mr. Jiang can support us, then of course time is a very good thing." ”

Although Jiang Ran hopes to sponsor the Academy Awards, with the current situation and influence of the Academy Awards, the Academy Awards is not his only goal.

Therefore, after Jiang Ran listened to Chen Baisen's words, he was not in a hurry to answer, but stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.

Seeing that Jiang Ran didn't answer, Chen Baisen thought about it, and still planned to spread out the matter.

"Mr. Jiang, I am very grateful for your support of the Academy Awards. And the members of our organizing committee also support Mr. Jiang's sponsorship of the Academy Awards. ”

"But now there is a question, Mr. Jiang's Ranfeng Company is a film company, after you sponsor the Academy Awards, can you guarantee that you will not interfere in the selection of the awards, after all, our award has just been created, and there must be no problems in fairness. ”

In addition, there is another problem, that is, after Mr. Jiang intervenes in the film awards, how to eliminate the concerns of other film companies and audiences about the fairness of the film awards, after all, as long as Ran Feng's film wins the award, it will definitely make people suspicious. ”

Jiang Ran quietly listened to Chen Baisen's concerns, and probably understood the bottom line of the film biweekly. However, when Jiang Ran planned to sponsor the Academy Awards, he had no intention of interfering in the awards, because he knew that if he wanted the Academy Awards to increase its influence, it was necessary to ensure its fairness, at least in general.

As for whether Ran Feng's film can get preferential treatment in the awards, Jiang Ran is not worried at all, as long as the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards agrees to Ran Feng's sponsorship, some things will naturally fall into place.

"Mr. Chan, please rest assured that I am only sponsoring the Academy Awards to keep Hong Kong's own film awards, and I can assure you that we will not directly interfere in the selection of the awards. ”

Jiang Ran calmly assured Chen Baisen that of course he would not intervene directly, and there should be no problem with indirect influence.

Jiang Ran's voice changed as he spoke, "Of course, I also hope to get Mr. Chen's assurance that your organizing committee will not give special treatment to our Ran Feng's movies because of my sponsorship and in order to avoid suspicion." ”

Jiang Ran said this, staring at Chen Baisen with dead eyes.

Chen Baisen was a little uncomfortable by Jiang Ran, and immediately assured: "Mr. Jiang rest assured, our Academy Awards treat all films equally, and there will never be different selection criteria for a certain company or someone's films." ”

After listening to Chen Baisen's words, Jiang Ran nodded with satisfaction and said seriously: "Okay! I hope that we can work together happily in the future so that today's commitments can be implemented in future actions. ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Chen Baisen was noncommittal, "Mr. Jiang, there is still a question of how to allay the public's doubts, this is a big problem. ”

Jiang Ran smiled slightly at Chen Baisen's question, and then said, "This is very easy to do. As you know, we have cooperation with ATV, and I am the majority shareholder of ATV, so I went to talk to ATV, and ATV will exclusively sponsor the Academy Awards, and your organizing committee needs to hand over the copyright and other commercial operations of the Academy Awards to ATV. ”

Chen Baisen was already excited when he heard Jiang Ran say that ATV sponsored the Academy Awards, this is an opportunity to increase the influence of the Academy Awards, as for the commercial benefits of ATV winning the Academy Awards, Chen Baisen does not care too much, after all, the Academy Awards are poor and white, and there is no commercial profit at all.

After Jiang Ran and Chen Baisen reached a consensus on the matter of the Film Awards, Jiang Ran went to Qiu Degen in person, and on the condition of the uniqueness of the Academy Awards and Ran Feng's secret support, Qiu Degen agreed to be sponsored by ATV.

After roughly settling the matter of the Academy Awards, Jiang Ran's thinking returned to how to smoothly promote the film sharing system of Ranfeng Cinema with as little risk as possible.

On this day, Jiang Ran was handling the company's daily affairs in the group office, and Jiang Wei from the distribution department came over.

"Ah Wei, is there something wrong?" Jiang Ran asked after seeing Jiang Wei come in, his face was not very good.

"Mr. Jiang, we were approached by a distributor in North America, hoping to buy the North American rights to "True Colors of Heroes". Jiang Wei's interest was not very high.

"Oh, isn't it a good thing to have a North American distributor buy a film? I see how unhappy you are. After listening to Jiang Wei's words, Jiang Ran asked strangely.

Jiang Wei listened to Jiang Ran's words, his eyes were a little angry, and he quickly complained excitedly: "These Yankees are too much. "The True Color of Heroes" grossed more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and he offered me $50,000 for full copyright, and his arrogant appearance seemed to be giving us charity. ”

Jiang Ran's face was not very good-looking when he heard this, as far as the box office of the movie "The True Color of Heroes" in North America was, Jiang Ran did not dare to guarantee it, after all, there were few successful Chinese films in North America. But according to Jiang Ran's estimate, the videotape of this movie should not be too bad, after all, the market of this movie among the Chinese is still worth looking forward to.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Ran let out a long sigh, and then said: "Hey, we have no precedent for success in the English-speaking market except for Bruce Lee, and the price is acceptable, so we should cultivate the market, but you have to emphasize the influence of our films among the Chinese, and strive to let them arrange a more suitable schedule for the movie, if necessary, we can help for free." ”

After Jiang Ran sent Jiang Wei away, he sighed helplessly, he was very powerless about the embarrassing situation of Ran Feng Company in North America.

"Isn't it possible to try to make a movie, try the water of North American films?" Jiang Ran thought to himself.

Jiang Ran thought of the North American market, and then thought about the movie classification that had been bothering him for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he smiled and said to himself: "Is it okay to do this?"

The more Jiang Ran thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very manipulative, and he would do it when he thought of it, which was Jiang Ran's consistent style.

When young Adam gradually awoke from his coma, he found himself locked in a dilapidated basement, and not far from him, another overwhelmed man, Dr. Lawrence, was locked up. ……’

The office slowly became quiet, only Jiang Ran was lying on the table, concentrating on the sound of the paper with a pen. He just thought of a movie, a thriller horror film that many people hold up as a classic.

This movie can make the classification system of Burning Feng Theater not seem abrupt, because its scale is too large, which will make quite a few people feel unwell, and it is natural for Burning Feng to propose viewing restrictions for the sake of the audience's physical and mental health.

In addition, this film does not have a cultural conflict between the East and the West, and relies more on visual impact to attract audiences, which is very suitable as a film for Burning Feng to explore the North American market.
