Chapter 128: Threats

Jiang Ran thought of the intervention point to solve the classification of Ran Feng's films, that is, to shoot the thriller horror film "Chainsaw". The film is extremely bloody, and it is very suitable as an entry point for Burning Maple Cinemas to implement the film classification system.

At the same time, this movie may not be too good at the box office in Hong Kong, but it is very suitable as a weapon for Ranfeng to test the waters of the North American and RB markets, even if it is only a niche movie, but its characteristics are clear, which will leave a deep impression on the audience and is conducive to the popularity of Ranfeng Film and Television.

After Jiang Ran decided to make "Chainsaw", he began to focus on this film. At the same time, Burning Maple Film and Television started filming two movies of Lin Jiawen and John Woo at the same time in April.

These two films, one is a traditional comedy film, directed by Lin Jiawen. The other is a shootout movie directed by John Woo.

At the same time as the filming of John Woo's film started, Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Taoist" also basically completed the editing of the script. Now he is discussing the filming plan of this film with Jiang Ran.

"Mr. Jiang, please see if there are any additional changes to this shooting plan, if not, I would like to set the start time of the film on May 10. โ€

Jiang Ran did not answer Lin Zhengying's words immediately, but looked at the film shooting plan that Lin Zhengying brought seriously, in fact, he knew these things very well, after all, he was personally involved in the formulation and improvement of the film script to the design of the sub-shot and the shooting plan.

Jiang Ran carefully looked at the shooting plan again, and after thinking about it again and again in his heart, and found no major problems, he raised his head and said to Lin Zhengying with a smile: "Well! The shooting plan seems to be no problem for the time being, if there is a problem in the shooting, we will discuss it later." โ€

Then Jiang Ran paused, then looked at Lin Zhengying, and said: "As for the start of the movie, as long as you coordinate with the distribution department and the production department, there is no problem on my side." โ€

When Jiang Ran and Lin Zhengying discussed the start-up of "Zombie Dao Chief" in the film and television company, he didn't know that there were some people in Hong Kong who were very dissatisfied with Ran Feng.

In March, Jiang Ran decided to improve the quality of Chow Yun-fat's films and reduce the number of films, which caused a very big obstacle to many film companies and individuals in Hong Kong who wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "The True Color of Heroes" and make a lot of money.

Although the film companies without background were dissatisfied with Ran Feng's refusal, the situation was stronger than others, so they could only find other actors to star.

But there are also a group of people who have a deep background and have not given up the pursuit of Chow Yun-fat. It's just that because of Jiang Ran's identity as a billionaire and the relationship between Ran Feng and the Hong Kong Police Force, he has never taken drastic measures.

It's a pity that Ran Feng has not agreed to these persistent invitations, and in the face of huge benefits, some people finally have no patience.

In Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, in a lavishly decorated nightclub, a man in a suit in his thirties was saying with a disgruntled face: "Brother Qiang, Ran Feng is so fucking ignorant, I have called them seven or eight times, but there is still no progress in Chow Yun-fat's matter." โ€

In front of the man in the suit, behind a large desk, the subject of his reportโ€”a sturdy middle-aged manโ€”Brother Qiang was sitting in the boss's chair, with a cigarette in his mouth, his legs on the table, squinting slightly and listening to the man's complaints.

After listening to the man in the suit, Brother Qiang opened his eyes, lowered his legs, stared at the man in the suit, and said in a deep voice: "This is what you have made in the past month or so?"

When Brother Qiang said this, he picked up an aluminum ashtray on his desk and smashed it hard. In the painful expression of the man in the suit, he then roared in a deep voice: "You fucking just do this for me? Didn't you make it clear to Ran Feng that the film company is Brother Qiang's industry?"

After the man in the suit was hit by the ashtray, he touched the smashed place with one hand, forcibly endured the grievances in his heart, and explained in a low voice: "Brother Qiang, when I communicated with Ran Feng a few times later, I mentioned the names of Brother Qiang and the club to them, but they said that now Chow Yun-fat's schedule is full. โ€

After listening to the man in the suit's explanation, Brother Qiang's expression eased slightly, "Ran Feng knows that you are my person, and you still don't give face? It seems that we were too gentle before." โ€

When Brother Qiang said this, he thought about it again and finally looked at the man in the suit, and ordered: "You call Ran Feng again, tell Ran Feng that they hope they can give me a face, let Chow Yun-fat make a movie for me, I will admit their affection, and ensure the safety of Ran Feng's industry on our and Anle's territory in the future." โ€

The man in the suit originally thought that Brother Qiang would directly take action to get Ran Feng, but he didn't expect him to let himself communicate with Ran Feng again.

Although the man in the suit had some doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, picked up the phone on the table, and called Ran Feng.

"Hello, this is the Burning Feng Artist Agency Department, I'm Zhong Chuhong, can I help you?" a woman's voice came from the phone.

"Hello Miss Zhong, I'm Zhu Rongsheng from Anle Pictures, and we've been in touch before. Zhu Rongsheng, the man in the suit, said.

"Oh, hello Mr. Zhu, do you have anything to do today?"

Zhong Chuhong remembered Anle Pictures, and contacted her a few times before, all to find Chow Yun-fat to act in a movie, but under the tone set by Jiang Ran, she never agreed, and I don't know if it will be another incident today.

Thinking of Chow Yun-fat, Zhong Chuhong is very helpless, since "The True Color of Heroes", Chow Yun-fat's film appointments have been continuous, under the tone set by Jiang Ran, most companies have given up contacting Chow Yun-fat after being rejected by Ran Feng several times, but there are also some film companies such as Anle Pictures, which persevered and continued to contact Ran Feng, which made Zhong Chuhong annoyed.

"Miss Zhong, I contacted you today for Mr. Chow Yun-fat's business, I don't know if Mr. Chow has a schedule now. Our Brother Qiang showed twelve points of sincerity, as long as Ran Feng promised Mr. Zhou to make a film for us, our Brother Qiang can guarantee the safety of Ran Feng on our territory and An Le's territory in the future. โ€

After Zhong Chuhong listened to Zhu Rongsheng's words, her heart sank, although Zhu Rongsheng had mentioned the matter of peace and happiness to her a few times before, but it did not have a clear threat like today.

Zhong Chuhong knew that Jiang Ran had a close relationship with Li Junxia of the police force, but in Hong Kong, only the relationship with the police force could not guarantee safety, thinking of this, she panicked slightly, and said into the phone: "Mr. Zhu, the film contract about Ah Fa was set by Mr. Jiang himself, and I have no right to make the decision." Do you think this will work, I'll go and ask Mr. Jiang again, and then I'll call you back?"

When Zhu Rongsheng heard this, he covered the microphone and looked at Brother Qiang, "Brother Qiang, she needs to ask Jiang Ran and then call me back." โ€

After hearing this, Brother Qiang nodded and said, "I want Jiang Ran to call me back today." โ€

Zhu Rongsheng nodded, and said into the microphone: "Miss Zhong, then please ask Mr. Jiang earlier, our brother Qiang is still waiting for my reply today." โ€

Zhong Chuhong put down the phone, let out a long breath, calmed down, and then picked up the phone again and called Jiang Ran.

"Ah Hong, is there something wrong?" Jiang Ran's voice followed the microphone and entered Zhong Chuhong's ears.

Hearing Jiang Ran's voice, the heart that had been uneasy just now because of the matter with An Le seemed to have something to rely on, "Ah Ran, Brother Qiang, who was with An Le just now, asked Ah Fa to act in a movie for him. โ€

When Jiang Ran heard this, he was slightly silent for a while, and then asked, "He Anle, Brother Qiang, do they have a script?"

"Nope. Just now they said on the phone that if we let Brother Fa go to act in a movie for them, they can guarantee the safety of Ran Feng's industry in He'an Le in the future. Zhong Chuhong reminded.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not to ensure the safety of my industry, but to threaten the safety of my industry. Jiang Ran chuckled softly on the phone.

"Ah Ran, will there be something wrong? They want us to give them an answer today, what do you think?" Zhong Chuhong asked a little nervously.
