The decoration and construction of Ranfeng Cinema was carried out in an orderly manner, and by the end of December 1982, the decoration work was basically completed, leaving only equipment installation and commissioning. At the same time, in terms of personnel, after nearly half a month of recruitment, most of the positions have been recruited, and they are training and waiting for the official opening of the theater.

When the theater was built quickly, the second film produced by Ranfeng Film Company this year, "Ghost Guy" directed by Lin Jiawen, finally completed post-production, and it will also become the opening work of Ranfeng Cinema, firing the first shot for Ranfeng Cinema during the Spring Festival.

When installing equipment in the theater, Jiang Ran and Wu Yusen's "True Colors of Heroes" crew entered the driving lane after more than half a month of running-in, and the crew was divided into two groups by Jiang Ran, with himself and Wu Yusen each taking one group to shoot separately, and it is expected that the shooting task can be completed in the last few days of 1982 for post-production.

After entering January, "The True Color of Heroes" has begun to enter the post-production stage, and Jiang Ran began to turn his attention to the opening of Ranfeng Cinema after explaining the editing work of the movie to John Woo.

In the conference room of Ranfeng Group, Jiang Ran was in the first place, and on both sides sat Le Zhiren and Gui Zecheng of the group company, Liu Liwei and Jiang Wei of the film company, and Jiang Jianguo, who was in charge of the video rental company.

"Ah Cheng, you first talk about the construction of the theater. Jiang Ran first ordered Gui Zecheng, who was in charge of the construction of the theater.

"Mr. Jiang, the theater is now in the stage of equipment installation and commissioning, and it is expected that all the work will be completed around January 10th, and the staff will be able to enter the theater on the 12th. ”

Jiang Ran nodded, then looked at Le Zhiren and asked, "How are the personnel preparations now?"

"The personnel of the theater have basically been recruited and are being trained, and Manager Jiang is in charge of the personnel in the store area such as the rental store. Le Zhiren said and looked at Jiang Jianguo.

"Mr. Jiang, the staff in the store and rental sales are also in place and are training and practicing in each store. Jiang Jianguo said on the topic of happiness.

Jiang Ran frowned and ordered: "The cinema we are building now is no longer a cinema that only has the function of film screening, he also takes into account the function of a shopping mall, which can be said to be a small cinema." Then throughout the studio, the quality of our staff's service will affect each other, which requires us to coordinate with each other. ”

Jiang Ran said this, looked at Gui Zecheng and Jiang Jianguo, and then said: "In this way, let's rearrange the division of labor, Ah Cheng and Jianguo, the two of you will be responsible for the newly built cinema in the future, Ah Cheng is mainly responsible for organizing the cinema chain and coordinating the distribution of films in various theaters, and Jianguo is responsible for the personnel and service management within the cinema." ”

"The newly recruited personnel should be trained in a unified manner before the opening, and then coordinate and arrange the positions, and you will be responsible for the founding of the country. ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, the faces of several people in the conference room changed slightly, because Jiang Ran's arrangement made Jiang Jianguo's power in the group greatly increase in the future.

The other people present were okay, because the work was not very related, but Gui Zecheng's face was a little stiff, as the person in charge of the business of the group, and this time he was the person in charge of the construction of the cinema, he had a premonition that after the cinema was built, someone would definitely need to coordinate in the middle, and he thought that this power would be received by the group company, but he didn't expect that now Jiang Ran handed over the power to Jiang Jianguo, and only handed over the distribution right to himself.

Jiang Ran didn't care about the little Jiujiu in the hearts of a few people, but turned his gaze to Jiang Wei, and then said, "Ah Wei, after the meeting, you will select some employees in the distribution department, enter the group company with you, and assist Ah Cheng in forming the distribution department of the group company, and the film company will retain a small number of personnel to maintain the publicity and market research of the film company." ”

"Okay, Mr. Jiang!" Jiang Wei has no opinion on Jiang Ran's arrangement, anyway, whether in the film company or in the group, his work content is almost the same, but there is an additional direct leader above.

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Gui Zecheng's expression was slightly better, because this arrangement meant that all the distribution of the group's film and television works in the future would be responsible for the newly established distribution department, which indirectly strengthened his power.

After making some adjustments to the company's personnel, Jiang Ran continued the topic just now, "You have to keep an eye on the affairs of Ah Cheng and Jianguo on the side of the theater." ”

Jiang Ran said this, thought for a while, looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and then: "No. 20! I want to open on the 20th, is there any problem." ”

After Gui Zecheng and Jiang Jianguo glanced at each other, they stood up together and promised, "No problem! Mr. Jiang." ”

"Okay!" Jiang Ran nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Liwei and said, "Ah Wei, you heard, the cinema opened on the 20th, and "Ghost Guy", as the opening movie of the cinema, must keep up with the publicity. ”

Liu Liwei smiled bitterly and said to Jiang Ran: "Mr. Jiang, Ah Wei has always been responsible for the promotion of the movie, but now that you have transferred Ah Wei to the group company, our manpower is a little insufficient." ”

After Jiang Ran listened to Liu Liwei's words, he patted his head and said: "In this way, this time, Awei, you will continue to be responsible for the propaganda work, and in the future, after the work is stable, you will determine the rights and responsibilities of the group and the film and television company." ”

"Yes! Mr. Jiang. ”

"Ah Cheng, you are going to start contacting theaters now, forming a theater chain, and in addition, you have to contact some film sources, this Spring Festival file only has our own two movies, which obviously cannot meet the market demand. ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's instructions, Gui Zecheng asked with some doubts: "Mr. Jiang, do you see what kind of situation we are cooperating with other theaters?" ”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Jianguo and Liu Liwei consciously remained silent, and after thinking about it for a while, the others finally said to Le Zhiren: "Mr. Jiang, I don't think it matters what form of cooperation, because we will definitely build another cinema in the future, and the most important thing is the time of cooperation." ”

Jiang Wei participated in this kind of topic involving the overall situation of the group for the first time, after listening to Le Zhiren's words, he had some different opinions, and he wanted to speak for some fear of offending Le Zhiren, and when he was hesitating, Jiang Ran looked over.

"Ah Wei, when the company has a meeting to discuss problems, if you have something to say, you don't have to worry. ”

Jiang Wei saw Jiang Ran speak, and no longer hesitated, and said: "Mr. Jiang, after the opening of our cinema, there are a total of 13 screens, distributed in the five most prosperous areas of Hong Kong, in fact, it is enough to form a small cinema chain, and now in the face of pressure from other cinema companies, the possibility of us getting excellent film sources is very small, and in this case, the risk and cost of renting other cinemas have increased exponentially." ”

Jiang Wei's words are thought-provoking, indeed, under the suppression of other theaters, it is unlikely that Ranfeng Cinema wants to get excellent film sources, so it does not need too many theaters, and the average movie has the current 13 screens enough to ensure the box office of the movie.

"What about our own films? We have to make sure that there are enough theaters for these films to compete with companies like Golden Princess in the market. Gui Zecheng asked on the side.

"We have worked with some theaters through the establishment of the Zero Time Cinema Line, and it has been very pleasant, and we can continue to work together like this now. Jiang Wei said.

Jiang Ran agreed with Jiang Wei's words, but in this situation, he was very worried about the stability of the zero-hour theater chain, in case a theater was to be released or regretted after the movie was released, it would be a very big blow to the theater chain that Ran Feng had just established.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ran said: "What Ah Wei said has a certain amount of truth, but when our theater was just established, in the face of the suppression of Princess Jin and Jiahe, we had to ensure the safety of the first shot. Therefore, Ah Cheng, you go and talk to those theater managers, sign a two-month lease contract with them during this Spring Festival, and when you need it in the future, you can still set up a zero-hour cinema line in the original way. ”

Ah Cheng saw that Jiang Ran had already made a decision, so he didn't say more, "Okay, Mr. Jiang." ”
