Chapter 232: Resolved
Two more to send !!!!
Jiang Ran was shocked when he thought that he might collide with Princess Jin when he proposed to start filming Happy Ghost. However, Jiang Ran then thought of the current production cycle of Hong Kong films, and called Jiang Wei from the distribution department with luck.
"Mr. Jiang, are you looking for me?" Jiang Wei came to Jiang Ran's office, and he thought that Jiang Ran was looking for him because of Tsui Hark's movie, so he asked a little weakly.
Jiang Ran looked at Jiang Wei, and then asked, "Do you have any film plans for New Art City this year?" If not, I want to take a look." ”
"Uh!" Jiang Wei was a little stunned, but fortunately he reacted quickly, "Okay, Mr. Jiang! I'll arrange for someone to inquire immediately." It should be possible to investigate it tomorrow morning. ”
Jiang Ran was lucky, in the current production plan of Princess Jin reported to Jiang Ran by Jiang Wei the next day, he did not see the project of Happy Ghost.
While Jiang Ran was rejoicing, he also figured out that this movie was originally shot by Gao Zhisen with the support of Huang Baiming, but it can be seen from the fact that the investment in the film is only one million, and the movie has not received the full support of Xinyicheng or Princess Jin. Therefore, this movie is not in the production plan of New Art City, so it makes sense.
Despite this, Jiang Ran still needed to make more preparations, and he first found Liu Liwei, Shi Nansheng, Lin Jiawen and other relevant personnel.
"Everyone, Director Jiawen's new film project is about to be approved, you should all know. This movie is mainly aimed at young students and is a campus youth movie. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Ran looked at Lin Jiawen and suggested: "Director Jiawen, in the selection of actors in this movie, my opinion is not to use professional actors, to find students who have not yet stepped out of school to act." They were originally students, they did not experience the tempering of society, they were simple, enthusiastic, and lively, and they performed in the true colors of students without any embellishment. ”
Lin Jiawen listened to Jiang Ran's opinion, lowered his head and thought about the movie setting and scene discussed with Jiang Ran and others yesterday, and then said, "I agree with Mr. Jiang's opinion. The three actresses in the film can be picked from among the students in school. ”
Jiang Ran saw that Lin Jiawen agreed with his opinion, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then looked at Liu Liwei and the two and said: "Since we have chosen students to star in this movie, it means that the leading actors of our movies cannot provide publicity help for our films." So, how do we promote this movie?"
Jiang Ran said and looked at Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "Is it possible to make a fuss from the male lead? In addition, Director Lin is now in the limelight, and it can also become our publicity entry point." ”
Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Wei's words, nodded, and then added: "Ah Wei has a certain amount of truth in what he said, but I think we can dig a little deeper. ”
"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?" Jiang Wei asked as he looked at Jiang Ran with a frown.
"First of all, on the director side of Jiawen, we can immediately hold a press conference to announce the new film plan of director Jiawen to the media. I believe that with the current fame of director Jiawen, he will definitely attract attention from the media and the audience. ”
"Second, the leading actor of our film needs to be selected among the students in school, so can we simply make this selection more sensational? I think with the signboard of our Ranfeng Group and the appeal of director Lin Jiawen, this should not be difficult, right?"
In this way, with the press conference of the new film of Ranfeng Group, the actor selection of Ranfeng Group began to be vigorously carried out in 1984 under the promotion of the Hong Kong media, and successfully attracted the attention of students in Hong Kong.
When Ranfeng Group announced the project plan of Happy Ghost, in a corner of Hong Kong, a young man looked at the newspaper report with an ugly expression.
Gao Zhisen doesn't know what mood to use to describe the feeling in his heart, he has been a scene reporter and assistant director since last year, and he is planning to seek a career as a director this year.
In this period of time after the year, he has been conceiving an idea in his heart, and now the idea in his heart has just matured, and he is planning to improve it again, and hand it over to his master Huang Baiming after a while to see if he can help him win the position of director.
However, when he saw the new film plan directed by Lin Jiawen of Ranfeng Group in the newspaper, he was very surprised to find that according to media reports, the new film directed by Lin Jiawen was actually similar to the movie he was conceiving.
Whether it is from the plot of the movie or from the type of movie, the similarity between the two is at least six or seven percent.
Gao Zhisen recalled it carefully, and didn't realize that he had told anyone what he thought in his heart, "Is this really a coincidence? Or do I have the same thing as Lin Jiawen's hero?" Gao Zhisen held the newspaper and said to himself with a wry smile on his face.
Now Gao Zhisen has a headache, and the movie he conceived is very similar to Lin Jiawen's new movie, but Lin Jiawen's film plan has begun to be hyped in the media, and the movie he conceived is only known to himself.
How can I prove to others that I have not plagiarized Lin Jiawen's ideas?
How do you go with your master Huang Baiming to invest in yourself?
How can I ensure that extremely similar movies can compete with Lin Jiawen's movies in the aggressive publicity of Ranfeng Group?
is it really necessary to risk the accusations of the public to confront Lin Jiawen's new movie?
Can you withstand the pressure of public opinion?
Myself
Gao Zhisen's mind was full of question marks, and then he had to admit that if he really made a movie according to the original idea and plan, not to mention the investment issue, he would definitely be blamed by public opinion, and in terms of film performance, he did not have the slightest confidence to confront Lin Jiawen.
Thinking that I am only in my twenties, and there are still many opportunities ahead, there is really no need to take such a big reputational risk in the first movie of my life.
"Alas! Forget it!" Gao Zhisen looked at the thick stack of manuscripts in front of him, sighed, and then threw them into the garbage basket with regret and reluctance.
Jiang Ran didn't know the impact of his decision on Gao Zhisen's first movie in his life, he couldn't control it so much, and he didn't want to care about it so much. He is now in his office listening to Gui Zecheng's report.
"Mr. Jiang, according to our contacts in the Taiwan government and the opinions of some political commentators over the past few years, it is true that Taiwan is now starting to loosen its non-governmental policy toward the mainland, as they mentioned at the General Assembly last month. ”
Gui Zecheng said to Jiang Ran with a happy face, "Judging from the policy trends we have collected during this time, I think we can take action to solve the blockade of us by the Taiwan side as soon as possible." ”
In the middle of last month, that is, on February 14, 1984, at the Second Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, it was proposed in the party affairs report that the Kuomintang would adopt the principle of not evading, not retreating, and not flinching in international non-governmental activities under the premise of non-negotiation, non-compromise, and non-contact, and would carry out its work in a roundabout, indirect, and invisible way.
It can be seen from this report that the Taiwan authorities' policy toward the mainland has begun to soften, and they are no longer as rigid as before, and there is no room for them.
At the same time, it can also be seen that the Taiwan authorities are beginning to gradually open up nongovernmental exchanges with the mainland, and in this political atmosphere, the blockade of the Ranfeng clique will no longer be as difficult as it used to be.
After all, the ban of Ranfeng Group is also closely because a program was recorded in the mainland, but it was over-interpreted, which caused the current deadlock.
Now, Ranfeng Group has taken action against the programs that caused trouble, and the Taiwan authorities have also blocked Ranfeng for a few months, plus the public relations done by Ranfeng before, as well as the current loosening of policies, it is relatively easy to unblock Ranfeng Group.
Not long after the conclusion of the Second Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee last month, Jiang Ran and the top leaders of the group began to draw people's attention to the policy trends of the Taiwan authorities, and now, after more than half a month of observation, Gui Zecheng believes that the time is ripe to solve the problem of the blockade of the Ranfeng group.
"Well, in that case, you can just do it. This is a rare opportunity and must be taken advantage of. Jiang Ran listened to Gui Zecheng's report and was also quite excited, "However, things should be low-key, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble under the eyes of the public." ”
"I see, Mr. Jiang. Gui Zecheng only said this truth, and immediately agreed.
