Tanaka Kenhito left the Burning Feng Mansion with an unhappy and dignified face after meeting with Jiang Ran, and he was very annoyed by Burning Feng's behavior of sitting on the ground, because it would greatly compress the interests of Daying.

In the original cooperation between Ranfeng Group and Daying, in fact, Ranfeng Group has always been at a disadvantage, and many times, the films released by Ranfeng in Japan can get less than 30% of the share after deducting various publicity and distribution costs.

What's more, in order to maintain a stable distribution channel for its own films in Japan, Jiang Ran also handed over the agency of Oriental Charm Clothing in Japan to Daying.

Now that Ranfeng Group is no longer as obscure in Japan, and some of its directors and actors have a certain box office appeal in Japan, Jiang Ran naturally hopes to get more benefits in cooperation.

Therefore, he took the opportunity of "Zombie Out of the Cage", a number of investments, and the joint distribution with Golden Harvest and Miramax Films, to take advantage of the situation to suppress the big film, in order to change the distribution of interests between the two.

After all, some things, as long as you open an opening, it will be much easier to change them later.

It's not that Kenhito Tanaka didn't think about coercing the Ran Feng Group by interrupting the cooperation with Ran Feng, but now there is no shortage of partners in Japan, so this approach obviously does not work.

What's more, now the cooperation between Daying and Ranfeng Group is very close, even if it is only a cooperation in films, Ranfeng certainly wants Daying, a stable distribution channel.

However, why doesn't Daying need the more and more excellent film sources of Ranfeng Group. You must know that Japanese local films are actually not very prosperous after entering the 70s, and several theater companies in Japan are operating extremely difficult.

Now several series of movies owned by Ranfeng Group, whether it is "Chainsaw", "True Colors of Heroes", or "Zombies Out", have successful precedents in Japan, and for Daiei Co., Ltd., these are very high-quality film sources.

When Kenhito Tanaka came to the Ran Feng Group again, it was already two days later, and he also brought a compromise answer from Daiei.

"Mr. Tanaka, we have a good cooperation!" Jiang Ran did not come forward in person this time, Jiang Wei, as the person in charge of film distribution of Ranfeng Group, signed a distribution contract with Kenren Tanaka.

In this contract, Daiei will act as the theater chain and get a share of the box office of "Zombie Out" in Japan, and the remaining 60% will be distributed to the distributor and producer.

Among them, Daiei will also participate in the distribution of the film, and in the end, in the release of "Zombie Out", Daiei can probably get a quota of 40% of the total box office of the film in Japan.

After negotiating with Daying, the Fuwai distribution of "Zombie Out of the Cage" officially started in Asia, because of Golden Harvest's participation, the film's distribution in Southeast Asia and Taiwan was also very smooth, and basically got about 50% of the share.

Originally, Jiang Ran thought that the movie might encounter some problems in Taiwan because of Jet Li, but what he didn't expect was that with the joint efforts of Ranfeng Group, Golden Harvest Company, and Miramax Films in Hollywood, Taiwan did not set up any obstacles on this issue.

By the time the film began to be released outside Fuwai, the time had come to Christmas, and "Zombie Out" had ended its second week of release in Hong Kong.

Compared with the five days in the first week, the performance of "Zombie Out" in the second week has declined slightly, but the daily box office has basically remained at the level of more than one million. In the end, a total of 10.6 million Hong Kong dollars were won at the box office in seven days.

At the same time, Princess Jin's "Merry Christmas", a movie with Jiang Ran's clear memory, is far from seeing the glory of more than 20 million box office in history.

In fact, at the beginning of the film, because of the appeal of Xinyicheng and Mai Jia, the film's performance was still quite good, and it received more than 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, and the movie's audience reputation was quite good.

If there is no "Zombie Out of the Cage" and has maintained a high exposure rate, the final result of this movie will definitely not be too bad.

But it's a great pity that this movie ran into "Zombie Out of the Cage".

Since the first day of "Zombie Cage" broke out with a score of more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, under the rendering of Hong Kong media, the attention of Hong Kong audiences has basically been completely filled with "Zombie Cage".

In this case, on the second day of its release, the box office of "Merry Christmas" declined, and only achieved more than 800,000 results.

Although in the later period, Princess Jin and Xinyicheng adopted the strategy of bundling the promotion of "Zombie Out of the Cage", which made the box office rebound for a while.

But it is obvious that compared with "Zombie Out", which has become a trend, "Merry Christmas" has been completely reduced to cannon fodder and has become an alternative project for Hong Kong audiences.

In the end, "Merry Christmas", an unusually bright box office movie in history, only achieved a box office result of 10 million Hong Kong dollars after more than ten days of release, and it is very debatable whether it can exceed 15 million in the end.

If they only rely on Hong Kong, Golden Princess and Xinyicheng obviously have the risk of not being able to recover their costs on this movie, and they can only rely on Waifu distribution to fight for profits.

Of course, at a time when "Zombie Out" is wreaking havoc in the Asian market, they will definitely not dare to hit it head-on again.

Fanling Golf Club, New Territories, Hong Kong.

Jiang Ran, accompanied by his bodyguards, walked into the club, and today Zou Wenhuai asked him to come over to play. As an authentic grassroots, Jiang Ran has no sense of identity with golf, and for him, he only comes here for social needs.

When Jiang Ran arrived, Zou Wenhuai had already arrived, and when Jiang Ran saw him, he was wearing a sportswear, accompanied by several people, swinging wantonly.

"Ah Ran, you're here!" Zou Wenhuai saw Jiang Ran, handed the club in his hand to the people around him, wiped his hands with a towel, and greeted with a smile.

"Uncle Huai, it's rare to see you in such a state. "Zou Wenhuai, whom Jiang Ran saw on weekdays, whether he was domineering or peaceful and shrewd, was far from his current state.

"What? I can't relax yet, I can't always be at work. Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

Jiang Ran smiled and was noncommittal about this.

Zou Wenhuai is in a good mood, and now "Zombie Out" has achieved a box office of more than 28 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, while in other parts of Asia, a total of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars have been achieved within a week of release.

Among them, Japan contributed the most box office, contributing more than 1.5 billion yen to the box office in a week, which is almost 75 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the rest of Asia, Taiwan contributed more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars this week, and the rest of the region handed over a total of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

In just one week, it can basically be announced that the project jointly launched by Ranfeng Group and Golden Harvest and other companies can definitely make a lot of money, because with the current situation, the movie "Zombie Out of the Cage" can almost recover its cost in Asia.

"Ah Ran, the movie is now a big box office hit in Japan and other parts of Asia, and the word of mouth is quite good. Zou Wenhuai looked at Jiang Ran as if he was looking at a treasure, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"I said at the beginning, with your ability to control tens of millions of dollars of investment, you will never lose money. Now it seems that not only will you not lose money, but you will also make a lot of money. Haha—" Zou Wenhuai said, patted Jiang Ran's arm, and laughed.

Jiang Ran smiled reservedly and said, "Judging from the current screening situation in Asia, I am at least not worried that this movie will lose money, and it finally lives up to your trust Uncle Huai." ”

"Later, we have to see how the film was reflected in the Western market in February. Jiang Ran said, with a slight hint of confidence on his face, "I also hope that the movie can continue to sell well in the Western market, and we can all make a lot of money." ”

"Haha! You've got a point. Zou Wenhuai laughed and echoed, "According to the survey report in North America, I believe that the movie will be a big hit in the Western market." ”

"Hopefully......" Jiang Ran said leisurely.
