Chapter 274: Appeasement and Wooing
Jiang Ran is very clear about Weinstein's thoughts, but he doesn't want to reply to the other party now, whether he refuses or continues to cooperate, Jiang Ran has to see the other party's methods in the movie "Zombie Out of the Cage" first.
Jiang Ran is not afraid of hanging Harvey like this and offending the other party, after all, Jiang Ran now has such an attractive gold mine as "Chainsaw" in his hands, and it can be said that he has a foundation for gaining a foothold in the North American market.
After explaining the follow-up to the announcement of "Zombie Out of the Cage" to Stephen and Zhou Rui, Jiang Ran flew back to Hong Kong again on Tuesday.
At this time, the two contracts that Jiang Ran had negotiated before leaving had all been completed, and Jet Li and Lin Qingxia also joined Ranfeng Group.
As soon as Jiang Ran returned to the company, Zhong Chuhong brought the two of them to Jiang Ran as soon as possible, "Ah Ran, the contract between Miss Lin and Ah Jie has been signed, I will bring them to meet you." ”
Jiang Ran stood up from behind the desk with a smile and said, "Everyone is an old acquaintance, I won't say much about the rest, first of all, welcome the two of you to join our big family of Ranfeng Group, I hope we will cooperate happily in the future!"
Jiang Ran said and stretched out his hand to the two.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you this time!" Jet Li's words were very sincere.
This time, he made up his mind to come to Hong Kong to develop, but he did not expect that after the showdown with the unit, it would cause so much trouble, and during that time, he and even his parents were facing great pressure from all sides.
In Jet Li's view, it is not easy for Ranfeng Group to be able to do this step when he has not brought actual benefits to Ranfeng Group.
What's more, at the end of the matter, Ranfeng Group also came forward to help him solve all the troubles. Although he had to shoot five films for the original unit and the Yindu organization at a very low price for this reason.
However, on the other hand, Ran Feng's approach is not to exchange the interests of the company that signed his own economic contract for the perfect solution of the matter.
Now, although he Jet Li is completely free and no longer has to dedicate all his interests to the unit and the collective as before, he knows the sacrifices and concessions made by the Ranfeng Group for this.
Therefore, Jet Li is now very grateful to Ranfeng Group, and even more grateful to Jiang Ran, who led this matter.
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this, patted the other party's shoulder gently, and said, "Since you look up to our Ranfeng Group, our group will naturally support you behind you." ”
"Mr. Jiang, I will take refuge in you in the future, Mr. Jiang needs to take care of me. After Lin Qingxia and the others finished greetings, she also said with a smile.
Lin Qingxia actually doesn't really want to join Ranfeng Group and other film companies in Hong Kong, because this always gives her a feeling of being controlled by others.
However, when Lin Qingxia really arrived in Hong Kong, she found that although she was already somewhat famous in Taiwan and Asia, in the circle of Hong Kong, there was no company behind her as a backer, and there was no broad network, so it was not easy for an outsider to gain a foothold.
It turned out that when the people in the circle saw her, they were polite and very enthusiastic, but by the time she asked for it, they had changed their faces.
Either the actor is predetermined, and outsiders like her can't intervene at all, or the producer and director will implicitly ask her for some extraneous requirements.
After going through it a few times, Lin Qingxia finally understood that although she is somewhat famous, she does not have too stable and reliable contacts in Hong Kong, and if she wants to gain a foothold, she must either exchange or find a circle that accepts her.
Therefore, when looking for Tsui Hark to seek a starring opportunity, when Tsui Hark told her about Ran Feng Jiangran's conditions, Lin Qingxia did not hesitate for long, and directly agreed.
On the one hand, Ranfeng Group is now a film giant in Hong Kong, and its resources are relatively rich, on the other hand, Tsui Hark has a lot of energy in Ranfeng Group and can provide her with some help.
Jiang Ran smiled and gently shook Lin Qingxia's soft wattle, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is polite. It is the luck of our group that you can join our Ranfeng Group. ”
Saying that, Jiang Ran looked at the two of them and assured very firmly: "Since the two of you have joined our Ranfeng Group, our group will naturally ensure that your interests are maximized and solve all troubles for you, whether it is work or personal problems." ”
"Since you have joined the company, then the company is your absolute dependence. So, if you have any questions in the future, remember to contact the broker and the company as soon as possible. Because, from now on, your interests are linked to the interests of the company. ”
Jiang Ran returned to Hong Kong from North America, and met Jet Li and Lin Qingxia, who had recently signed a contract with Ranfeng Group, for the first time.
After the time enters November, when Jiang Ran is stepping up the production of "Zombie Out of the Cage", the 21st Taiwan Golden Horse Awards will also be held this month.
However, this year, Ranfeng Group no longer has the nomination momentum of last year's "True Colors of Heroes", this year, Ranfeng Group has produced a total of six films, and this time it did not get any nominations at the Golden Horse Awards.
Although it is a pity that Ranfeng Group is declining at the Golden Horse Awards this year, Jiang Ran doesn't care too much, in the final analysis, the current Golden Horse Awards are still more biased towards local Taiwanese films, and they are not as famous as later generations.
Compared with the decline of Ranfeng Group at the Golden Horse Awards, Mak Dangxiong, who has a close relationship with the group in recent years, was nominated for the Best Director and Best Film Awards for the first time as a director, which surprised Hong Kong's film peers.
Mai Dangxiong received such an important nomination, and Ranfeng Group, the most important partner of Mai Dangxiong Film Company, naturally could not fail without a reaction.
Jiang Ran personally came forward to arrange for the media under Ran Feng to build momentum for Mai Dangxiong, and at the same time, he also personally went to congratulate Mai Dangxiong.
"Mr. Mai, if you don't make a splash this time, it's just a blockbuster. Jiang Ran smiled and said to Mai Dangxiong, who was sitting opposite.
"Haha! Mr. Jiang, you're polite! It's all luck, luck!" Mai Dangxiong sat there, smiling very confidently.
At present, Mai Dangxiong Film Company has become the most important stable source provider of Ranfeng Group in addition to its own production, and its role in the Ranfeng system is increasing, which is also the main reason why Jiang Ran personally came forward this time.
At present, with the continuous expansion of Ranfeng Cinema in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia this year, it is no longer possible to meet the business needs of the cinema chain by relying only on the production volume of Ranfeng Group itself.
For this reason, Jiang Ran is even considering allocating some resources for a company like Mai Dangxiong that can stably provide film sources for theaters during the hot time of the year.
Jiang Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Mai, you are too modest. It's the first time you've been in charge of the camera in person, and you've achieved a double harvest at the box office, and if it's just luck, it's too much of a blow to the self-esteem of us directors. ”
"Mr. Jiang, you are polite! This time, I would like to thank Ran Feng for building momentum for me in the media. Although Mai Dangxiong is conceited, he also knows what to do, so he took the opportunity to thank Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran just smiled when he heard this, Ran Feng did this just as a favor, he didn't want to leave an image of Mai Dangxiong's gratitude.
Mai Dangxiong saw that Jiang Ran didn't answer, and he didn't say anything more on this topic, everyone understands people, and naturally knows the truth that there is a reward for paying.
In front of Jiang Ran, Mai Dangxiong slightly restrained his usual arrogance, looked at Jiang Ran and continued: "Besides, my achievements are far worse than Mr. Jiang's. I heard that Mr. Jiang, your Ranfeng Group's "Chainsaw 2" has exploded in North America again. ”
Speaking of this, Mai Dangxiong's eyes inevitably showed a look of envy.
