Chapter 312: Dark War
Jiang Ran obviously felt that his arm held by Zhong Chuhong suddenly tightened, and then looked at the slightly embarrassed and delicate atmosphere of the scene, and secretly complained in his heart.
I knew that it was not good, but my face was silent, I just hugged the hand on Zhong Chuhong's waist, and worked harder, and after glancing at Zhong Chuhong, Jiang Ran greeted with a smile: "Jiahui, you are here too." ”
Zhong Chuhong was very depressed and conflicted in her heart, judging from the expressions of everyone just now, it was obvious that something was not quite right between Guan Zhilin and Jiang Ran, although she didn't have any evidence, but with a woman's intuition, she felt that her guess might be very likely.
Although she felt like this, but on an occasion like this, she had to suppress the suspicion in her heart, stiffened her face, and continued to stand by Jiang Ran's side in silence.
After Jiang Ran said hello to Guan Zhilin, he had no interest in staying here any longer, who knows if something will happen in the middle?
After a few polite words with a few people, Jiang Ran very wisely took Zhong Chuhong to say goodbye to Chow Yun-fat and the others, and walked to other places.
Zhong Chuhong's face was not very good from just now, and after leaving Chow Yun-fat and the others, he immediately pulled out the arm holding Jiang Ran and said coldly: "You go! I want to stay alone for a while." ”
How could Jiang Ran really listen to the other party at this time, and said with a shy face: "That's not good, you are my girlfriend, the future hostess of Ranfeng Group, on such an occasion, you must be by your husband's side." ”
Zhong Chuhong listened to Jiang Ran's words, just looked at him quietly, and didn't say anything.
In the face of Zhong Chuhong's wordless confrontation, Jiang Ran didn't have much to do, which made him very distressed and irritable.
Maybe it's because the companies and assets under control are getting bigger and bigger, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to refute themselves, and there is more and more time to say anything, which makes Jiang Ran more and more impatient when facing a confrontation like Zhong Chuhong now.
However, no matter how irritable I was, thinking of my feelings for a few years, and thinking of my own losses, the guilt in my heart finally suppressed the impatience that began to surge.
"Let's go, let's go home and talk about it later, okay?" The impatience on Jiang Ran's face flashed away, and then he smiled again, "You are the future boss of our company, and you are about to take control of the economic company alone, so you will be wronged now, and then accompany me to socialize?"
Maybe Jiang Ran's faint assurance played a role, or maybe he saw a trace of impatience flashing on Jiang Ran's face, Zhong Chuhong didn't make Jiang Ran ugly on the spot after all, and reluctantly took his hand again, and came to Pan Disheng and Michelle Yeoh together.
"Mr. Pan, how is it? How is the negotiation with the Shaw Brothers going now?" Jiang Ran asked with a smile.
Now that Pan Dickson wants to accept Shaw Brothers Cinemas, it is no longer a new thing in Hong Kong.
Even companies like Golden Harvest and Golden Princess who secretly obstruct know that Debao's ownership of the cinema chain has become a foregone conclusion, and now it just depends on how high the price and cost Debao will pay in this process.
"It's almost over. Pan Disheng replied very bluntly after hearing Jiang Ran's question.
On the one hand, the reason why Pan Disheng is so straightforward is because there is no secret in Hong Kong now, and there is no need to hide it.
On the other hand, Pan Disheng is very clear that Ranfeng Group is the only cinema company in Hong Kong that does not set up additional obstacles in the process of the rise of Debao and the pursuit of cinema chains.
And this is very important for the growth of Debao in the Hong Kong film and television industry, after all, in the past period of time, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess have done a lot of damage to Debao taking over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.
Jiang Ran and Ran Feng's neutral wait-and-see attitude obviously made the situation faced by Debao much better, and at the same time gave Debao more room to maneuver in the future.
It is precisely for this reason that in order to seize the potential partner of Ran Feng, Pan Disheng instructed his subordinates to strengthen the endorsement and advertising cooperation between Ran Feng and Disheng during this period of time.
After Jiang Ran greeted Pan Disheng, he then looked at Michelle Yeoh who was standing on the side, and said with a smile: "Miss Yang, congratulations." The first film of his debut achieved a result of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which is rare in Hong Kong. ”
Michelle Yeoh made her successful debut in Hong Kong last year through Debao's "The Owl and Dumbo", compared to other Hong Kong actors, she had a 20 million Hong Kong dollar movie as soon as she debuted, which is indeed worth congratulating.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Michelle Yeoh said with a smile, apparently satisfied with the result.
"Mr. Jiang, how is the global release of "Zombie Out" going now?" Pan Disheng chimed in.
Pan Disheng was very surprised by this movie, although he was at an absolute disadvantage in the film's dividends because he had no distribution channels and resources at that time, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this movie should be regarded as the most profitable film last year.
Jiang Ran smiled confidently when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Pan, rest assured, now that the release of the film has basically come to an end, our company has begun to start box office settlement work with various theaters and distributors. ”
"It is preliminarily estimated that the first funds will begin to be withdrawn next month, and before July, it should be possible to complete all the settlements. ”
"Oh, that's good news. Pan Disheng said with a smile.
"What's the good news?" Zou Wenhuai's voice came, "I wonder if you can share it with me?"
Pan Disheng turned his head and saw Zou Wenhuai with Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, and walked over with a smile, "Mr. Zou, I'm talking to Mr. Jiang about "Zombie Out of the Cage". ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" Zou Wenhuai was obviously also interested in this topic, "Could it be that Ah Ran, you have changed your mind and plan to make a sequel now?"
Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group have no plans to make a sequel movie to "Zombie Out of the Cage" for the time being, which is very disappointing to Golden Harvest and Miramax Films, so Zou Wenhuai asked with some expectation.
It's no wonder that Zou Wenhuai is so urgent, on the movie "Zombie Out of the Cage", Ranfeng Group, Miramack Pictures and Golden Harvest Company made a lot of money because of their participation in the distribution.
Among them, Ranfeng Group took the lion's share in production, and a total of nearly $50 million was shared, while Golden Harvest and Miramax Pictures also received nearly $25 million in dividends each because of the huge profits from distribution.
Even, Debao, a company that only participates in the investment, can get a share of more than 3 million in the end.
You must know that these are US dollars, if converted into Hong Kong dollars, Golden Harvest can almost get nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars in box office dividends, such income is not comparable to Sammo Hung 's "Lucky Stars".
"No!" Jiang Ran directly denied Zou Wenhuai's speculation, "I was telling Mr. Pan about the return of funds for this film just now." ”
"Oh, I see. Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe participated in the release of the film throughout the whole process, and he knew very well about the things Jiang Ran said, so when he heard that it was not a sequel, he immediately lacked interest.
Others apparently heard it too.
"Director Hong, your "Lucky Stars" this time is a full house. Pan Disheng smiled and turned the topic to Sammo Hung .
"You are the majority shareholder of our company, when will you also open a movie like "Lucky Stars" for Debao?" said Pan Dey.
Now Pan Dickson is increasingly dissatisfied with Sammo Hung who has the second largest stake in Debao, although he has produced such excellent movies as "The Owl and Dumbo" for Debao.
However, on the issue of Golden Harvest's issuance cooperation, Sammo Hung did not show due attitude and enthusiasm, and even after Golden Harvest showed its intention to suppress Debao, Sammo Hung began to become a little ambiguous.
Pan Disheng's words made Zou Wenhuai's face sink slightly, and he said: "Mr. Pan, this is a little too harsh, and box office hits like "Lucky Star Gaozhao" are not said to exist. ”
"Sanmao's efforts are one thing, and the support of publicity is also an indispensable factor. And Sanmao's "The Owl and Dumbo" produced for you Debao last year is very good. ”
……
Jiang Ran looked at Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng's arguing words with a smile, and glanced at Sammo Hung, who was standing on the side with some embarrassment, and did not intend to speak out for both sides.
