Zhao Hongjun, as the person in charge of public opinion control of Ranfeng Group, did not take this matter to heart when Jiang Ran instructed him to target Wu Yusen, in his opinion, Wu Yusen is just a small director, and with the influence of Ranfeng Group, it is not difficult to target such a small director.

But today, when John Woo held a press conference with the support of Princess Jin, Zhao Hongjun finally realized that he had made things a little simpler.

Although the Ranfeng Group is only targeting Wu Yusen this time, because it also involves Princess Jin and Lei Juekun, because of Princess Jin's support, things are not so simple.

Although there has only been this sign just now, it can already be seen that the wrestling between the Ranfeng Group and the Golden Princess in terms of public opinion influence. At this time, in fact, Wu Yusen's own gains and losses are no longer important, he is just a chess piece with a little weight.

Now that the opponent has slowly turned into a golden princess, the importance of Zhao Hongjun is obviously different from before.

"Mr. Liu, you should immediately inform the artists under the company that the crew of "The True Color of Heroes" is best to contact some artists that we can influence. I will arrange for reporters to interview these people on John Woo's words this afternoon, and I need rebuttals and evidence. To make Wu Yusen's words question most of them at the beginning. ”

When Zhao Hongjun said this, he smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Wu Yusen and Princess Jin did something wrong today, they shouldn't deny Mr. Jiang's achievements and talk about "The True Colors of Heroes". ”

When Liu Liwei heard this, the expression on his face eased slightly, nodded, and then said: "Yes! Mr. Jiang's achievements in the past few years are no longer simply slanderous and can be denied. ”

Then Liu Liwei's face turned straight, and he said: "I will go to say hello to artists other than Ran Feng, I have arranged the crew of "The True Color of Heroes" yesterday, Chow Yun-fat and other stars, I will communicate with them." ”

Jiang Ran didn't ask about the specific handling of this matter, he still believed in Zhao Hongjun's ability very much, and he could grow the "Tiantian Daily" in a few years, and his ability in the media was beyond doubt.

The matter was arranged without Jiang Ran's knowledge. Even Jiang Ran only learned about John Woo's speech at the press conference through the reporter's mouth when the reporter went to the crew for an interview.

"Mr. Jiang, Director John Woo said at a press conference held at noon today that he was deliberately smeared and suppressed by you and Ranfeng Group, do you have anything to say about this?"

Jiang Ran glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and then replied lightly: "I don't have anything to say, Hong Kong is a society of free speech, and I and our Ranfeng Group do not have the ability to influence the will of most of the media in Hong Kong." ”

Jiang Ran said this, looked up at the reporters gathered in front of him, and asked with a smile: "You are also media workers, will your work be affected by me and our Ranfeng Group?"

"How so?"

"Haha! Mr. Jiang is really joking. ”

“……”

Hearing Jiang Ran's rhetorical question, all the reporters laughed unconsciously, this question is very obvious, no one will admit that their previous report was influenced by the Ranfeng Group, which will make their newspaper face credibility problems.

Jiang Ran listened to the negative answers of these reporters, shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "You see, things are as simple as that. Obviously, Mr. John Woo's groundless accusations against me and our Ranfeng Group are only to clear their name. This act of his is shameful, unwarranted and irresponsible, and in my opinion, it is an unreasonable and shameless act. ”

In the end, Jiang Ran's face was full of anger, and then he said: "We must believe in the professional ethics of our Hong Kong media people, and the eyes of the masses are clear." Since most people think that John Woo's behavior is biased, it is clear that the most important thing he should do now is to find problems from himself, rather than gratuitously denying and accusing like a shrew. ”

Jiang Ran said, pointing to his chest, "I think it's best for him to touch his conscience before he speaks and does things." ”

"Mr. Jiang, at the press conference, Wu Yusen thought that you have average ability in directing, you are a person who sells your reputation and reputation, and all your achievements come from the resource support of Ranfeng Group, what do you think of this problem? In addition, he accused you of stealing his creativity and credit for "The True Color of Heroes", is this true?"

Jiang Ran was really angry this time, he obviously didn't expect Wu Yusen to be so shameless. But at the same time, Jiang Ran was a little embarrassed, after all, if from the perspective of time and space in the past and present lives, Wu Yusen's statement was not wrong, and he did steal his creativity—the creativity of another time and space.

But if you just put things in the current time and space, Wu Yusen is a little shameless, and of course, Jiang Ran has no face to accuse Wu Yusen from this aspect.

"On this issue, I still say what I just said, and ask him to speak with his conscience. In addition, I think that this question, whether I say it or not, still needs to be commented on by the crew members who participated in the movie at the time, and their words will be more fair. ”

Jiang Ran didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, he believed that justice was in the hearts of the people.

"Mr. Jiang, director John Woo denied the remarks of using "True Colors of Heroes 2" to blackmail the Ranfeng Group, and said that he wanted to continue to complete this project, I wonder if you will give him this opportunity?"

"Hehe! He now belongs to the director of Princess Jin, and I have no hope for his character. So, do you think I dare to hand over to him the series of movies that involve tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the Ranfeng Group?"

Jiang Ran shook his head when he said this, and then said with a smile: "Even if he touches his conscience and assures me, I won't dare." ”

After Jiang Ran was interviewed, many other cast and crew members of the crew were interviewed, and without exception, all the interviews were either neutral or unfavorable to John Woo.

While the crew was being interviewed, in other places in Hong Kong, whether it was Chow Yun-fat, Lin Zhengying, Lin Jiawen and others who signed a contract with Ran Feng, or Chen Baixiang, Lin Zixiang, Tsui Hark and even Jackie Chan, who had cooperated with Jiang Ran and Ran Feng, they did not escape the harassment of reporters.

Needless to say, under Liu Liwei's hint, everyone understands that all interviews will definitely be biased towards Jiang Ran and the company. And other Chen Baixiang and others, even Jackie Chan, who did not deal with Jiang Ran after "Police Story", did not dare to stand up and deny Jiang Ran's ability to direct at this time.

"Mr. Kong's achievements as a director are unquestionable, and all of his films are in the tens of millions, even "Chainsaw", which has been the worst in Hong Kong, has proved its worth in other regions. Not to mention, Mr. Jiang is also a breakthrough in Hong Kong's 20 million and 30 million box office, so do you need to say more about these things?" - Chow Yun-fat

"As far as I know, the movie "The True Color of Heroes" was completed under the leadership of Mr. Jiang from the idea to the creation, I don't know why Director Wu said that, but the truth is obviously different from what he said. Mr. Jiang doesn't need to take credit from others, just like my "Zombie Taoist", which is Mr. Jiang's idea, but he doesn't care about this reputation. —Lin Zhengying

"Under the system of Ranfeng Group, the freedom of our directors on the set is indeed partially restricted, but this does not mean that directors have no creative space. If you have an idea, you can gather the producers and editors to argue together. Maybe it's a little troublesome, but, as far as the movie itself is concerned, the wisdom of many people will definitely be better than the thoughts of one person. —Lin Jiawen

"Ah Ran doesn't need to occupy the resources of other directors, and his focus is not on directing movies, you can see that he only directed one "Chainsaw" this year. If you pay attention, you can find that the films he directed are either groundbreaking films or films that fit in with the development of the Ranfeng Group. —Tsui Hark

"John Woo's accusation of Ah Ran is obviously just to clear his name and change the topic, I don't want to say much about his character, from the time he was in Golden Harvest, he used to be the director of "Funny Times" under the pseudonym of New Art City. Chen Baixiang, as Jiang Ran's earliest friend, did not enter the Ranfeng Group, but he did not hesitate to support Jiang Ran.

"Mr. Jiang is very humble, very talented as a director, and very hard-working, when I worked with him on "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Multi-star", he was the most fortunate and hard-working person in the crew, I think when talent and diligence are combined, success is inevitable. Lin Zixiang said very tactfully.

"Mr. Jiang has a lot of directing skills, and we had a great time working together in Police Story. Jackie Chan said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang is very talented as a director, and I envy him very much in this regard. Li Xiuxian, as a person who had just worked with Jiang Ran, was inevitably questioned by reporters.
