Chapter 208: Good News

John Woo's contact with Ran Feng's artists went very poorly, and everyone refused to meet him for various reasons.

Think about it and understand, look at Ran Feng's actions towards Wu Yusen, and Wu Yusen's current situation, you can imagine what kind of risk there will be if you betray Ran Feng at this time.

The next day, Wu Yusen's justification in front of reporters, and even the force behind Princess Jin, did not play a big role, and the entire public opinion orientation, as well as ordinary people, were more willing to believe Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group.

In this case, it was obviously unrealistic for John Woo to find someone to speak for him, and as a result, in the following days, he became less and less vocal in public, and his reputation among Hong Kong citizens became worse and worse, and this bad reputation was bound to affect his film performance.

Kowloon, Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, a thin middle-aged man came this day, he had a pair of large-framed eyes, his face was a little gray, his eyes were dull, and he looked a little trance.

John Woo walked into the airport in a daze, he has not yet recovered from the successive blows, and now his reputation in Hong Kong has completely stinted.

He still remembered the meeting with Lei Juekun yesterday, Lei Juekun's face did not have the enthusiasm he used to have, but he just told him about his current situation.

"Director Wu, you have also seen the current situation. You can't pull anyone to prove to you in Ranfeng, and we are all at a disadvantage in the entire public opinion orientation, and I can't force others to stand up and speak for you. ”

"Now the whole public opinion in Hong Kong is not good for you, and staying in Hong Kong any longer will not help your development, and it just so happens that we also need people in Taiwan, so you can go there for the time being to avoid the limelight. After a while, after the limelight has passed, I will find a chance to arrange for you to come back. ”

In this way, Wu Yusen, who was ambitious and wanted to leave the Ranfeng Group, create a career, and become a powerful figure in the Hong Kong film and television industry, boarded the plane to Taiwan in a cold and lonely manner in the face of the cruel reality, silently waiting for the opportunity Lei Juekun told him.

Princess Jin's Lei Juekun's poaching of the Ranfeng Group finally ended with John Woo being exiled to Taiwan and temporarily refrigerated. In this matter, Lei Juekun and his golden princess were slow at the beginning when dealing with the problem, and the so-called slow step, slow step, is also the same in terms of public opinion, and the preconceived concept is very terrible.

No one pays attention to the back of John Woo's lonely departure, and the focus of people's attention is no longer on John Woo, the newly rising gunfight hero director has faded out of the Hong Kong film and television circle in a short period of time, it has become a foregone conclusion, and the loser will be forgotten, which is the eternal law of history.

The Ranfeng Group continued to exert influence on Wu Yusen's affairs, and waited until Wu Yusen was exiled before he began to shift the focus of his work to other things.

Monday, December 12, 1983.

Today, the "Daily Daily" controlled by Ranfeng Group finally lost the news of Wu Yusen, and instead published the news that Tsui Hark had joined Ranfeng.

Recently, the famous Hong Kong director Tsui Hark signed a contract with Ranfeng Group and officially joined Ranfeng Group, and once again joined Director Jiang Ran to compete in the Hong Kong film market. ”

The joining of Tsui Hark made the director team of Ranfeng Group, which began to weaken after John Woo left, grow again.

Before Tsui Hark joined, although Ranfeng Group showed its muscles to everyone through the Wu Yusen incident, its internal strength was reduced, and the narrowing of external distribution channels was an objective problem.

After Tsui Hark joined, Ranfeng Group announced the global distribution of "Chainsaw" through the "Daily Daily".

As of the 20th of this month, "Chainsaw" began to be drawn in most parts of the world, and finally grossed $17.8 million in North America, more than $140,000 in Europe and Australia, more than $12 million in Japan and other Asian regions, and a total global box office of $45 million. - "Daily Daily"

"Daily Daily" mainly reported on the global distribution of "Chainsaw", and did not report in detail on the film's profit income.

However, it is obvious that this is difficult for those interested reporters in Hong Kong, of course, this is under the deliberate indulgence of Jiang Ran and the Ranfeng Group.

On the second day after the global box office of "Chainsaw" was released every day, a number of media in Hong Kong began to analyze and report on the revenue of Ranfeng Group in this film and the operation of Ranfeng Group.

According to insiders of Ranfeng Group, Ranfeng Group's income on the movie "Chainsaw" is amazing, and a total of nearly 20 million US dollars in box office sharing, totaling more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Ran Feng Group's profit in film production this year is amazing, and it is expected that the box office revenue alone will exceed 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the best among several film companies in Hong Kong. ”

"The film and television section of Ranfeng Group has an amazing ability to absorb gold, with an annual income of two or three billion Hong Kong dollars, and it has enough confidence not to be afraid of Taiwan's blockade. ”

"After the divestment of Oriental Charm Company, Ranfeng Group is still strong, and its income from film production and distribution is not afraid of the loss of Oriental Charm Divestment. ”

……

The media's analysis of Ran Feng's work on "Chainsaw" and the film's production and distribution caused an uproar in Hong Kong.

You know, this is in the 80s, not the era when the future generations will shine tens of billions of dollars at every turn, and 100 million Hong Kong dollars at this time is a very staggering number, and the wealth accumulated by many Hong Kong tycoons for generations is like this.

"Movies make so much money now?" said a skinny young man in a villa in Repulse Bay, looking at a newspaper report and muttering to himself.

Some time ago, the media was still saying that Ranfeng Group was in turmoil, and it turned out that others were making a fortune. Some people who felt pity for Jiang Ran and Ran Feng's plight some time ago said.

"A movie has a box office income of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and it seems that if you want to make money, you still have to make a difference in the North American market. TVB, Run Run Shaw stared at the newspaper in front of him and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"It's just that the box office revenue is so high, and according to the copyright situation in North America and other regions, I'm afraid that other subsequent revenues will not be much less than the box office revenue. Jiahe Company, Zou Wenhuai looked at the newspaper and said enviously.

"Jiang Ran, this decrepit boy, is really out of shit luck. Princess Jin's Lei Juekun looked at the newspaper with waiting eyes, and thought resentfully.

……

The media's analysis and reporting of "Chainsaw" and the revenue of Ranfeng Group has an amazing impact on Ranfeng's situation.

On the one hand, in terms of the external environment, through the Wu Yusen incident and the current amazing profitability, the position of Ranfeng Group in the Hong Kong film and television industry has been strengthened, and at the same time, the influence of Ranfeng Group in Hong Kong's finance and media has been strengthened, and the external environment has begun to improve rapidly.

On the other hand, within the Ranfeng Group, especially the contracted artists of the Ranfeng Group, they have become more confident in the company again, and they are no longer as worried about the future as they were some time ago.

In the next few days, Ran Feng successively revealed the production plan of "Chainsaw 2", as well as the development of American companies and businesses, which made the outside world optimistic about the future of Ran Feng Group - even if it has been banned in Taiwan for a long time.
