Chapter 103 Preparation
John Woo and others are doing the preliminary preparations for "The True Color of Heroes" in the company, Jiang Ran is also poaching for the actors of the movie, and the hard work pays off, after some operation, Chow Yun-fat and Lin Zhengying finally officially joined Ranfeng Films.
When Jiang Ran was busy with online actors everywhere, Ran Dong of the group was not idle, since Ran Feng got a loan from Yongan Bank, his acquisition operation was much smoother than the original with the support of sufficient funds.
By the end of November, Ran Dong had finally completed the acquisition of the five shops set by Jiang Ran, leaving only the acquisition of Jiaxin Building that had not yet been confirmed.
"Mr. Jiang, all the five stores have been taken down now, and the remaining Jiaxin Building may have to wait for a while, and Carnival Real Estate has not let go of the price stuck at 500 square feet, and this price is still far from the reserve price set by Mr. Jiang for me. ”
When Ran Dong reported his achievements for Jiang Ran during this period of time, when he talked about Jiaxin Building, he was very helpless about the reserve price set by Jiang Ran at the beginning, because now Carnival Real Estate has been refusing to make concessions on the price, which has made Ran Dong's acquisition progress almost stagnant.
Jiang Ran was not surprised by the setback of Ran Dong's acquisition of the Carnival Building, after all, the bottom line he had set was too low, but Jiang Ran still believed that the first to collapse in the end must be the Carnival Real Estate.
The reason is very simple, as a real estate company with a long history, at the moment when the real estate market is sluggish, the sale of Jiaxin Building itself has already shown that the company may have financial problems, otherwise they would not be able to sell a well-run commercial building at a low price now.
Since Carnival Real Estate sold the commercial building in order to recoup the funds, they must be more anxious than Jiang Ran, not to mention that the real estate industry in Hong Kong is still declining, and the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to Ran Feng.
"Jiaxin Building will drag it first, anyway, we are not in a hurry now. Jiang Ran said to Ran Dong with confidence.
Seeing that Jiang Ran was confident, Ran Dong didn't blame him, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Okay, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Ran nodded, and then asked, "Tell me about the situation of these five stores." ”
"Mr. Jiang, these five stores are located in Jinzhong, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon and Mong Kok, the area of the stores is basically between 20,000 square feet and 30,000 square feet, the average price is 550 square feet, and the total cost is nearly 70 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"Well, have the procedures for these properties been sorted out now?" Jiang Ran then asked.
"The first two stores to complete the acquisition have been completed, and the next few can be handed over in a week at the latest. ”
Jiang Ran nodded, "Well, I see." After I go out, let Ah Cheng come to me. ”
After Ran Dong went out, Jiang Ran silently estimated the decoration time of the theater and the opening time of the theater in his heart. Jiang Ran hopes that Ranfeng Cinema can open in time for the Spring Festival.
He calculated that if the production of "The True Color of Heroes" went well, there would not be much of a problem with the completion of the production in February of 83. When the time comes, Burning Feng Theater will open with at least two movies, "Ghost Guy" and "The True Color of Heroes".
"Bang-bang" Jiang Ran was thinking about it, and the sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded.
"Please come in!" Jiang Ran looked up at the door.
"Mr. Jiang, are you looking for me?" Gui Zecheng smiled and pushed the door and walked in.
"Well, sit down first!" Jiang Ran smiled and waved his hand at Gui Zecheng, motioning for him to sit down.
"Ah Cheng, that's right, the company has now completed the acquisition of five stores, and then we need to decorate these stores, and the construction of the theater will also be carried out simultaneously, and I will leave this matter to you to be responsible. ”
After Jiang Ran waited for Gui Zecheng to sit down, he handed over the store information that Ran Dong had handed over just now to Gui Zecheng, and then said.
Gui Zecheng had a certain amount of mental preparation for this before he came, after all, the business department he was responsible for had participated in the acquisition of these properties from beginning to end, and the design report for the future theater was also completed under his leadership, and now Jiang Ran only officially handed over the construction of the theater to him.
"No problem! Mr. Jiang, I will definitely do this job well. Gui Zecheng assured Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran pressed his hand on him and said: "Don't talk so much, I have requirements for the construction time of the theater, today is November 23, I hope you will complete all the decoration and construction work of the theater in early January next year, so the time left for you is very tight." ”
Jiang Ran said as he stared at Gui Zecheng tightly.
After Gui Zecheng heard Jiang Ran's request, he was embarrassed for a while, but when he saw Jiang Ran staring at his expression, he knew that he couldn't shirk it, gritted his teeth, and said: "Although the time is tight, it is not impossible to complete the construction of the theater on time, but there may be an overrun in terms of construction costs." ”
Jiang Ran was very satisfied with Gui Zecheng's reflection, although it was difficult, but he was at least thinking of a solution, and he didn't push back and only mention the difficulties, "Since the time is so tight, it is understandable that there is an overrun in terms of cost, but you still have to pay attention to control." ”
Jiang Ran said this, and suddenly asked: "By the way, you must pay attention to the idea I talked about the design of the small hall multi-screen theater last time, and when the design drawings of the theater come out, show it to me." ”
"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, after you said it last time, I have already consulted the design company, and now I only need to take a look at the site, and I should be able to come up with the plan soon. ”
Jiang Ran nodded affirmatively and said, "Well, that's good! You must ask General Manager Jiang Jianguo's opinion on the rental and shopping spots, after all, he is in charge of this work." ”
"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, I will definitely ask Mr. Jiang's opinion. Gui Zecheng nodded in agreement.
After Gui Zecheng went out, Jiang Ran thought about it, got up and went out of the company, and came to the editorial department of Ranfeng Film Company. It's now one of the busiest departments of the studio.
"Mr. Jiang is here!"
"Mr. Jiang, hello!"
Jiang Ran is very familiar with the editorial department, and has edited several film and television programs with these employees, and he has not been here for a while, so he has a sense of intimacy when he comes here again.
However, although Jiang Ran has a sense of intimacy with the editorial department, these employees of the editorial department are even more in awe of Jiang Ran when they think of a few colleagues who have been fired after experiencing Hu Hai's rectification.
Therefore, after seeing Jiang Ran walk into the office, several editorial groups that were still active just now immediately stopped discussing and hurriedly stood up to greet Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded and said with a smile: "You have been fortunate during this time, and when you finish the few scripts at hand, it should be relatively easy before the year." ”
Jiang Ran was about to go inside after speaking, when he saw Wu Yusen, Li Tingzhu and Lin Zhengying walking out of the conference room on the side.
"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?" Wu Yusen greeted.
"Director Wu, I'm ashamed, I'm also the director of this movie, but you have been busy alone for more than ten days, and I'm almost done with the matter at hand now, and in the future, I will mainly have to bury my head in the crew. ”
Jiang Ran said to Wu Yusen apologetically, and then turned his head and asked Lin Zhengying: "Zhengying, how is it?
Lin Zhengying will also serve as the martial arts instructor of "The True Color of Heroes" in addition to actors, so after signing with Ran Feng, he has been busy with the script and action design of the movie with John Woo.
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your concern, everything is fine, and I have learned a lot from everyone during this time. Lin Zhengying replied with a smile.
While several people returned to the conference room, Jiang Ran asked: "Director Wu, how is the script done now, I hope the movie can be released during the Spring Festival, can I catch up?"
