Chapter 237: Promises and Concerns

On March 30, 1984, Jiang Ran accompanied Zhong Chuhong to a hotel in Kowloon, where there was a banquet today.

Just yesterday, Jiang Ran received an invitation to attend a banquet organized by a film company, and several founders of this film company have a lot of backgrounds.

Debao Film Company, this film company that Jiang Ran is familiar with in later generations, was originally founded by Sammo Hung and Shum Jianxun in 1983, and just a few days ago, Pan Disheng, who has been committed to famous brand management, suddenly invested in this film company that was not long established, and Pan Disheng also became the majority shareholder of Debao Film Company.

Because Pan Dickson has always been committed to operating famous brands, and Jiang Ran's "Oriental Charm" magazine has been a very well-known fashion magazine in Hong Kong and even Asia since its inception, so there is a lot of cooperation between the two companies.

In addition, after Ranfeng Group began to sign actors, Ranfeng Group and Disheng Company hit it off, one provides channels and actors and artists, and the other needs advertising and exposure, so that many artists in Ranfeng Group have cooperated with the brands of Disheng Company.

It is precisely because of the good cooperative relationship between the two sides that after Pan Disheng became a shareholder of Debao Film Company, he sent an invitation to Jiang Ran.

After Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong got out of the car, they could see that there were still a lot of media around, but when they thought about the actors invited by their company, as well as the influence of Pan Disheng and Sammo Hung, Jiang Ran was relieved.

Pan Disheng, accompanied by Sammo Hung and Cen Jianxun, was standing at the door of the hotel, and after seeing Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong getting out of the car, he greeted them with a smile from afar.

Looking at that enthusiastic look, people who don't know the situation will think how familiar the two are. But that's not the case. Although Ran Feng and Disheng have cooperated a lot, the bosses of the two companies have very little intersection with each other, and they have only met a few times in business.

"Mr. Jiang and Miss Zhong, welcome to this banquet organized by our Debao Film Company. "Pan Disheng is a person who looks very gentle, but his smile is very contagious and gives people a very intimate feeling.

Jiang Ran smiled and held Pan Disheng's outstretched hand, and said politely with a smile: "Our Ranfeng Group and Mr. Pan's Disheng Company have always been very good partners. ”

"Mr. Pan, Wishing you prosperity!" Zhong Chuhong, as the manager of the artist affairs department of Ranfeng Group, usually deals with Pan Disheng a lot, and the two sides are more familiar, then said with a smile.

"Haha!" Pan Disheng laughed: "Thank you Miss Zhong for your auspicious words." In the future, our Debao company will have to rely on the care of Mr. Jiang and Miss Zhong. ”

Jiang Ran knew that Debao Film Company would become a film giant in Hong Kong in the late 80s, and at this time, Pan Disheng had not yet taken over the Shaw Brothers cinema chain, so he naturally wanted to get the distribution rights of Debao Film Company.

"It's not about caring for each other, it's true that everyone cooperates with each other for a win-win situation. Jiang Ran politely said, and then directly showed the dry goods, "Our Ranfeng Cinema Line has only arranged two movies this summer, if Mr. Pan doesn't give up, in July and August, I can make the decision now and set aside a three-week schedule for your Debao." ”

Jiang Ran's conditions are very generous, you must know that in the Hong Kong film industry, although the distribution of films produced by independent film companies is relatively easy, but a good schedule is definitely the world of the film companies under the cinema company.

As far as the current situation of Debao Film Company is concerned, although Sammo Hung has the face of Sammo Hung in it, it is very easy to release it in Golden Harvest's theaters, but Golden Harvest must first consider having its own equity participation or investment in the lineage of films.

Sammo Hung was slightly unhappy after hearing Jiang Ran's words, but with his tactfulness, his face naturally would not show it, and then he thought about the schedule of Golden Harvest this summer, and shook his head secretly.

Since Jiang Ran filmed "Police Story" in advance, Jackie Chan is now making a sequel to this movie in the summer, which has become a must-have topic for Golden Harvest. And Sammo Hung 's own movie "Food Truck" has now begun filming, and it will definitely occupy a seat in Golden Harvest in the summer.

In this way, it becomes unrealistic to want to fight for a good schedule for Debao Film Company in Golden Harvest.

Pan Disheng didn't know that Sammo Hung had changed many thoughts in his heart in this very short period of time, but he was very happy with Jiang Ran's statement.

On the one hand, Debao does need this hot schedule of Ranfeng Group. On the other hand, Jiang Ran gave himself such a face in front of Sammo Hung and Cen Jianxun, which could improve his control over Debao Film Company, at least let Sammo Hung know that he also had connections in the film industry.

"Haha! It's still Mr. Jiang's refreshment, I'll thank Mr. Jiang for your care in advance. Faced with Jiang Ran's promise, Pan Disheng naturally would not refuse, and immediately thanked him with a smile.

Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern. Cen Jianxun didn't expect such a surprise at today's banquet, and said excitedly on the side.

Cen Jianxun doesn't have as much thought in his heart as Sammo Hung has, and Debao Film Company is a business that needs to be managed with heart for him, so he is sincerely happy about Jiang Ran's commitment.

After Cen Jianxun spoke, Pan Disheng realized that he hadn't introduced Jiang Ran and the others yet. Therefore, he hurriedly let Sammo Hung and the others in front of Jiang Ran.

"Mr. Jiang and Miss Zhong, these two are my partners. Mr. Sammo Hung, I think you should know each other. Pan Disheng first pointed at Sammo Hung and said.

"Director Hong, we often see each other, and we are acquaintances. Jiang Ran smiled and shook Sammo Hung hand.

"Director Hong, you're getting more and more vigorous now. The producer, director, and leading actor have all grasped it, and they are all brilliant. Now the film company has also opened one after another, how do you let us live, Director Hong. Jiang Ran then continued to joke to Sammo Hung .

Speaking of which, Sammo Hung is a strange thing in the Hong Kong film industry, from the earliest Shaw Brothers Film Company, to Golden Harvest Films, and when he was in Golden Harvest, he had a close relationship with Mai Jia's great enemy - Mai Jia of New Arts City, and others, and finally saw that Shaw Brothers was no longer good, and he mixed up a giant like Debao in the late 80s.

In Jiang Ran's opinion, only Zeng Zhiwei has the ability to be like Sammo Hung in Hong Kong, thinking about the emotional intelligence of these people, Jiang Ran is deeply admired.

Sammo Hung smiled and said politely: "Mr. Jiang is polite." I'm all a petty fight, it's a typical example of not being qualitative, wanting to touch everything, and not doing anything well. ”

Pan Disheng interrupted the politeness of the two, pointed to Cen Jianxun and introduced: "This is Cen Jianxun, who used to be mainly engaged in film planning and distribution, and now he has also begun to participate in the production of films. In the future, John will be responsible for the daily affairs of our company, and Mr. Jiang will take more care of it. ”

Jiang Ran shook Cen Jianxun's hand with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Cen! I have seen your movies, and they are all very exciting. We look forward to working together in the future. ”

After a few polite words with Pan Disheng at the door of the hotel, Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong walked into the banquet hall together, and when they looked at it, there were really many acquaintances inside.

Most of the guests invited from Pan Dickson's side are the spokespersons of his brands, and Sammo Hung has a broader relationship, from martial arts to acting stars, from martial arts to directors and producers, and there are not many film company owners and investors. It can be said that this banquet of Debao Company includes almost half of the people in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Zhong Chuhong is now managing the artist department of Ranfeng Group, and she is in contact with producers, directors and company bosses, and her vision is not bad.

"Debao Film Company is not simple, with such a connection, I am afraid it is a new art city. A trace of worry flashed in Zhong Chuhong's eyes, and he turned his head sideways and whispered in Jiang Ran's ear.

Jiang Ran shook Zhong Chuhong's hand and said, "What are you worried about, even if Debao Company is as good as Xinyicheng in terms of films, are we still afraid of him?"

"But ......" Speaking of this, Jiang Ran paused slightly, frowned and said thoughtfully: "I'm not worried about the movie, I'm more worried about Pan Disheng training actors through Debao, which will affect the endorsement and advertising contracts of our company's actors." ”

"Ah Hong, you should prepare early, try to expand the scope of endorsement and advertising cooperation of our group's artists, and don't rely too much on Disheng Company. Jiang Ran finally commanded.
