Chapter 125: Movie Ratings
After Jiang Ran completed Chow Yun-fat's work, Ran Feng began to consciously reduce his film workload, and instead looked for suitable endorsements and advertising contracts for him.
After the time entered April, Ran Feng's work was carried out in an orderly manner, and Jiang Ran finally had some leisure, but he didn't expect Wei Jianbang of Longhubao to find him again.
Since Wei Jianbang resigned from "Tiantian Daily" in October last year, he has been busy with the newly founded "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard" magazine most of the time, and he has very little time to come to Ranfeng to find Jiang Ran, and more often he reports to Jiang Ran by phone.
It has been nearly half a year since Wei Jianbang founded the adult magazine "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard", and in the past six months, with the help of Ranfeng's mature channels and excellent quality, the circulation of the magazine has been very good.
The magazine is published three times a month, and the total monthly sales in Hong Kong can now reach 400,000 copies, plus the small-scale sales in Southeast Asia and other places, "Dragon Tiger and Leopard" can now have a total of 7.8 million copies per month, creating a profit of nearly one million for the company.
"Jianbang, you don't come to Ranfeng very often now. Is there anything wrong with coming over so cautiously this time?" Jiang Ran was very satisfied with the development of Longhubao at present, so after seeing Wei Jianbang, he asked happily.
In just half a year, when Wei Jianbang came to Jiang Ran again, he was much more confident and calm, "Mr. Jiang, when the magazine was just founded, we planned that the future of Longhubao Company will move from adult magazines to adult film and television industry. ”
"Now that the company has developed for half a year, I think the time is ripe, so I want to ask you about this matter today, hoping to get your support. After Wei Jianbang finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Ran firmly.
When Jiang Ran heard this, he thought about it slightly, and said with a smile: "I did say this at the beginning, since you think that you now have the foundation to enter the adult film and television industry, then I will definitely support it." ”
Jiang Ran said this, glanced at Wei Jianbang, and continued: "While we are free today, let's go to the company together." I promised that if you did a good job, I would give you a total of three layers of dry shares, and today I will take this opportunity to solve this matter as well. ”
Wei Jianbang's eyes lit up, and while he was happy in his heart, he unconsciously felt a faint sense of loss in his heart, knowing that Jiang Ran was going to show favor to his subordinates and strengthen his control over Longhubao Company.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Although there was some emotion in his heart, Wei Jianbang still stood up and thanked him.
Jiang Ran didn't know Wei Jianbang's thoughts, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, he wouldn't give up the matter of kindness to his subordinates to others because of Wei Jianbang's feelings, which would make him slowly lose control of the company.
Jiang Ran called the group's lawyer to come to Longhubao Company with him, and by the time he arrived at the company, several senior management of Longhaw Par were already waiting there.
Jiang Ran unceremoniously sat down at the top of the seat, glanced at the people in the conference room with a smile, and then said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Wei found me today and reported to me the development of our company. Since its establishment half a year ago, with the efforts of all colleagues, the company has developed rapidly. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for your efforts for the company. ”
Jiang Ran took the lead in applauding as he spoke, and the other management in the conference room also slapped hard with joy, half a year's hard work in exchange for fruitful results, and the affirmation of the boss, which is indeed worth celebrating.
Jiang Ran raised his hands with a smile and pressed them down slightly, and after everyone was quiet, he said again: "My colleagues have paid so much for the company, so I can't be stingy." When Mr. Wei approached me with this project, I promised him that as long as your results satisfied me, I would reward him. ”
When Jiang Ran said this, he looked at the people below with a smile, seeing that their eyes were shining, and they all looked at him excitedly, Jiang Ran nodded, very satisfied with this effect.
"At the beginning, I said that if the company develops well, I will take out 30% of the company's dry shares as a bonus for the management, as long as you are still working in the company, then the corresponding positions and contributions will be rewarded accordingly, and today I will fulfill my promise. I also hope that everyone can work hard for the company in the future and work together to develop the Longhubao business better. ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Without Jiang Ran taking the lead, the conference room burst into applause that was more intense than just now, attracting employees outside to stretch out their heads to inquire.
After Jiang Ran determined the incentive mechanism for the management of Longhaw Leopard, he discussed with everyone the plan to enter the film and television industry before returning to Ranfeng Group under the welcome of Longhaw Leopard's management.
After Jiang Ran returned to the group, he thought that Longhabao would enter the adult film and television industry, which would inevitably make Ran Feng's cinema chain and video rental involved in these industries, and if he was not careful, it might have some negative impact on the group.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran got up and picked up the phone on the table, and called the distribution department and the studio respectively.
Half an hour later, Gui Zecheng, Ran Dong and Jiang Jianguo gathered in Jiang Ran's office.
Jiang Ran looked at the three of them and said bluntly: "Wei Jianbang came to me today, and they will march into the adult film and television industry next." At that time, we will definitely get involved in this part of the distribution business in film, television and videotape, so we need to come up with a plan to avoid affecting the company's image. ”
Among them, Jiang Jianguo was born in the mainland army, and his moral concept was the most important, so he was the first to speak: "Mr. Jiang, didn't you agree with Mr. Wei to create the "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard" magazine under Ran Feng's banner at the beginning, just to prevent pornographic magazines from affecting Ran Feng's image? Why do we still get involved now?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Jiang Jianguo, and then said: "The industry has been around for a long time since the history of mankind, and there are huge interests in this industry. ”
"In addition, although social morality belittles the industry, the so-called existence is reasonable, and we do not produce our own pornographic magazines and films, as long as we grasp the degree of it, we should be able to minimize the impact. ”
After Jiang Jianguo heard this, he knew that Jiang Ran had already paid attention, and he did not open his mouth to object.
After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Gui Zecheng asked at the right time, "What does Mr. Jiang mean?"
"I want to rate the movies that are shown in our studios and theaters. The classification system can be used to protect the healthy growth of teenagers and children, and reduce their exposure to pornographic and violent film and television works as a breakthrough, on the one hand, it promotes the company's sense of social responsibility, and on the other hand, it also provides legal support for the company's distribution, which can be described as the best of both worlds. ”
Ran Dong has been doing the work of film distribution, and he is more familiar with this aspect of things, and said with some worry after hearing this: "Mr. Jiang, our cinema chain has just been established now, and there is a lack of film sources, if all the movies released in theaters are graded, I am afraid it will affect the source of cinemas, after all, other cinema companies do not have such regulations." ”
Of course, Jiang Ran knows that in the current environment, the grading of Ranfeng's independent characteristics will affect the box office of the released films, which will virtually push some independent film companies out of the distribution system of Ranfeng, and increase the difficulty for the company to find film sources.
Moreover, this move of Ran Feng is likely to cause disgust from several other theater companies, making Ran Feng further isolated and affecting the development of the group.
Although there are many risks, Jiang Ran knows that film classification is the trend, and even if there is no Burning Feng, it will gradually be noticed by people in the next few years.
Instead of adapting to other people's rules at that time, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the industry now, and do things by yourself first, so that when the industry sets rules in the future, you can also have some advantages.
