Jiang Ran took a few people around the studio, and then transferred to the Peninsula Hotel together, where Ran Feng prepared a reception banquet, and where there would also be a press conference.

Fang Yihua sat in the car with Run Run Shaw together, looking at him leaning on the seat and closing his eyes in contemplation, he asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong with you, since you entered the theater just now, you have been looking preoccupied." ”

Run Run Shaw opened his eyes, looked at her with blazing eyes, and asked: "You also felt it in Ran Feng's theater just now, do you think that under the same conditions, the audience will go to Shaw Brothers to watch the movie or go to Ran Feng to watch the movie." ”

Fang Yihua frowned, and then said: "If a movie is shown at the same time, of course, it is more comfortable to watch the movie in the environment of Burning Feng, but not to mention whether there will be a situation where the two of us will release a movie at the same time, even if it happens, the seats in the Burning Feng Theater are too few after all, and the threat is not great." ”

Although Fang Yihua finally emphasized the capacity of Ranfeng Cinema, she herself could not believe such a reason, because if the audience chose to watch the movie in other theaters because of the capacity of Ranfeng, then it means that Ranfeng has an absolute advantage in the competition for the audience, and other cinemas can only pick up Ranfeng and eat the rest of the market, which is obviously not in everyone's interests.

After Fang Yihua finished speaking, he looked at Run Run Shaw's gaze and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you want to renovate our Shaw Brothers Cinema according to Ran Feng's model?" This project is a bit large. ”

Fang Yihua is not very interested in Shaw Brothers movies now, in recent years, Shaw Brothers movies have given people a lifeless feeling, the company's phenomenon of ranking people according to seniority is obvious, and the old employees lack passion for the production of films, but they are stubbornly occupying resources, and even Run Run Shaw does not have much to do.

After seeing Run Run Shaw's reflection, Fang Yihua was a little worried that he would really invest a lot of money to renovate the Shaw Brothers Cinema, so he then persuaded: "Don't be impulsive, you also know what the current situation of Shaw Brothers movies is in production, in the final analysis, the success of the theater chain is mainly due to the quality of the film, and we can't guarantee the quality of the movie now." ”

After listening to Fang Yihua's words, Run Run Shaw's eyes darkened, and he was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't say anything about the renovation of the theater in advance, what do you think about the construction of a small theater by Ran Feng?"

"Small cinema hall? Ran Feng is now short of film sources, and the hall can't attract so many audiences, so he has to build a small hall. Fang Yihua said with some uncertainty.

Shaw's eyes lit up when he heard this, he slapped his thigh, and suddenly said: "Yes! I see! Small theaters don't need so many audiences, so the quality requirements for film sources are not so big, and the design of multiple theaters can support Ran Feng to release multiple movies at the same time, which can not only reduce the difficulty of independent film companies scheduling, but also increase the audience's viewing choices, which indirectly makes up for the lack of hot films in theaters." ”

Run Run Shaw said this, completely clarified his thoughts, gently tapped his thighs with his fingers, and said with some sighs: "Jiang Ran is really a good plan, the small hall has multiple screens, a comfortable viewing environment, and more viewing options, plus the advantages that are more conducive to the scheduling of independent film companies, and their own production capabilities." ”

Run Run Shaw turned his head to look at Fang Yihua, who was sitting on the side, and asked, "Do you understand Jiang Ran's plan now?" Ran Feng's cinema design is completely ahead of the existing cinema companies in Hong Kong, and if other companies do not follow suit and renovate their own cinemas, they will be very passive and suffer losses in the future competition. ”

Fang Yihua also wanted to understand the advantages of the multi-screen design of the small hall of Ranfeng Cinema at this time, and opened his mouth, a little unbelievable that Jiang Ran kid actually had such deep considerations.

"Then do we want to renovate our Shaw Brothers theater chain?" Fang Yihua asked after a long silence.

Shaw's eyes flickered a little, and he hesitated for a while, thinking of the current production situation of Shaw Brothers, he finally closed his eyes a little unwillingly, leaned back in his chair and said, "Let's watch again." ”

There was silence in the car for a while, Fang Yihua looked at Run Run Shaw's thin face, and felt sad for no reason, that is, the old man next to him, but also Shaw Brothers Film Company.

After arriving at the Peninsula Hotel, as soon as Run Run Shaw got out of the car, a reporter surrounded him, "Sir Shao, what is the reason why you came to attend the opening ceremony of this competitor of Burning Maple Cinema today?"

Run Run Shaw suppressed the sadness on the car because of the decline of Shaw Brothers, a smile appeared on his face, he stood still, and then said: "We Shaw Brothers and Ran Feng have always been very good partners, we are in the same industry, competition is inevitable, but in addition to competition, we can also have cooperation, win-win cooperation is the principle that I have always adhered to." ”

"As a senior and pioneer in the industry, I think we should give more space to outstanding latecomers in the industry, instead of blindly suppressing them, which will make the industry lack vitality and is not conducive to the development of the Hong Kong film industry. ”

After Shaw finished speaking, he ignored the stunned reporters around him, and walked into the hotel under the escort of his bodyguards.

It wasn't until Run Shaw left that the reporters reacted and exploded.

"Uncle Shao was just talking about cooperation with Ran Feng?"

"Is there any mistake? Run Run Shaw actually said that he wanted to give enough space to the latecomers in his peers, was it my illusion that Shaw Brothers suppressed Golden Harvest and Princess Jin in the first place?"

"Uncle Shao is referring to Sang scolding Huai, accusing Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun of suppressing backwards, can you be jealous?"

Although Run Shaw only said a few words in front of reporters, the content contained in it was quite large, and Jiang Ran, who was preparing for the press conference inside, also heard Run Run Shaw's words at this time, and while praising it in his heart, he was thinking about how to deal with this aspect of the reporter in his heart.

"Friends from the media, welcome to the opening ceremony of Ranfeng Cinema under Ranfeng Group today, our company has prepared lunch for you in the hotel, and I hope you will enjoy it after the press conference. Jiang Ran sat on the stage and looked at the dense reporters sitting below, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, I noticed that in Jinzhong's cinema, there are not many seats in the cinema hall, but there are three cinema halls, how many screens does your company's cinema chain have in total when it opens this time? Why don't you build a large cinema hall. A man in his thirties asked.

"We have a total of 13 screens in Ranfeng Cinema, most of which are small hall theaters with two or three hundred seats, you may have noticed that the design of our Ranfeng Cinema is different from other cinemas in Hong Kong, in order to bring the best viewing experience to the audience, we designed a space of two square meters for each seat, so we did not build a larger cinema hall in our cinema, because it would affect the viewing experience of the audience in the back row. ”

"As for the cinema chain established by Ran Feng this time, in addition to our own thirteen theaters, we also have ten cooperative theaters, and a total of 23 theaters can shoot films at the same time. ”

"We welcome film companies in Hong Kong and other places with distribution needs to come to Ranfeng for consultation, we have a lower threshold for the release of films than other cinema companies in Hong Kong, we will arrange different theaters according to the quality of the film and audience feedback, and increase the screening screen according to the actual situation during the screening process. ”

While answering questions, Jiang Ran did not forget to advertise his own cinema, promote comfortable viewing to the audience, and promote low-threshold screenings to film companies.

"Mr. Jiang, I saw that at your company's opening ceremony today, Jackie Chan did not appear, but this summer you have hyped Jackie Chan in the media, and there is news that Golden Harvest and Princess Jin are now banning Ran Feng in the Hong Kong film industry, I don't know what you think of these two things?"

"First of all, about Mr. Jackie Chan, our company gave him an invitation, but for some other reasons, he couldn't be there, and I regret it. ”

"As for what you said about Jiahe and Princess Jin blocking our Ran Feng, I don't know much about this, I can only say that we Ran Feng didn't feel that anyone blocked us, so, for the specific situation, you need to go to these two companies to determine. ”

"However, we have always cooperated with the two companies, I don't think they will do this, after all, the Hong Kong film industry is not big or small, and everyone is more about cooperation. Besides, the Hong Kong film market is not something that one or a few companies can control, I think no one should have such a big tone to issue a ban on Ran Feng. ”

Jiang Ran opened his eyes with a smile and said nonsense, and at the same time responded with implicit sarcasm.

"Mr. Jiang, just now Mr. Run Run Shaw said that there is cooperation between Ran Feng and Shaw Brothers, what is the cooperation?"
