Chapter 184: Arrangement
Jiang Ran returned to the Ranfeng Group, which had been away for more than ten days, and as soon as he arrived at the company, he had not yet sat down in the company, so Le Zhiren came over.
"Mr. Jiang, congratulations on the success of your trip to North America. As soon as Le Zhiren entered the office, he began to congratulate Jiang Ran with a smile.
Jiang Ran stood up with a smile, and after inviting Le Zhiren to sit down with him in the reception area, he said, "I finally have some achievements in North America this time." Speaking of this, Jiang Ran shook his head again, "When I first started going over there, I was still a little too optimistic, and I almost returned in vain." Fortunately, now I have finally opened a hole over there and made a good start. ”
Le Zhiren sat opposite Jiang Ran, smiling and listening to his exclamation, "Although there are some difficulties encountered in the middle, the most overall results prove Mr. Jiang's foresight. ”
"At the beginning, the group, including myself, was not optimistic about Mr. Jiang's proposed trip to North America, but now it has been proved that we are indeed much worse than your strategic vision. Le Zhiren finally sighed.
Jiang Ran was noncommittal to Le Zhiren's compliment, smiled slightly, and then asked, "How are things going in Shenzhen now?"
Le Zhiren Zhengse said: "Now all kinds of procedures in Shenzhen have been almost completed, land planning and so on are very smooth, the advance funds have also arrived, the mainland government is also very supportive of our work, the infrastructure has begun to start, and Secretary Liang of Shenzhen was present in person." ”
"Well, Ah Cheng, their efficiency is not bad. Is there a good recruitment of personnel on your side? It is impossible for Ah Cheng and Ran Dong to stay in the mainland for a long time, and there are still many things that the group needs them to do. Jiang Ran praised Gui Zecheng and the two of them, and then asked.
"Two senior executives have been recruited, one from Hong Kong and one from the mainland, do you want to meet them? In addition, I suggest that Ren Xin be transferred to the mainland to take charge of our production base. On the one hand, it can lead the balance between the two new recruits, and on the other hand, it can also avoid internal conflicts in the Oriental company. Le Zhiren said to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran didn't answer Le Zhiren's question immediately, squinted his eyes slightly, and thought slowly for a while before he spoke: "I will not see the two newly recruited colleagues for the time being, and I will see them again after their inspection is over." ”
"In addition, now that the executives of the mainland factory are basically in place, it is necessary to formalize its organizational relationship. Well, it's better to be directly controlled by the group company. As for Ren Xin's transfer, you talk to her and let her not be emotional. In addition, after she left the company, she asked her to nominate a candidate for the director of operations. ”
Le Zhiren listened to Jiang Ran's words, was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "It's still Mr. Jiang's thoughtfulness, I'll go down and do it." ”
Le Zhiren was about to get up and leave as he spoke, but Jiang Ran waved his hand, signaling that he still had something to do.
"This time in North America, our "Chainsaw" did well at the box office, plus the income from the follow-up videotapes and other things, there should be a profit of 10 million dollars, and the European release, before I came back, already had eyebrows, so we have a lot of free money in the United States. ”
"I was thinking that if this money was transferred back to Hong Kong, the trouble would be on the one hand, the key was that the tax would be a lot of expenses, and considering that the income from videotapes and other income is long-term, I have plans to open a few new companies in the United States. ”
After listening to Jiang Ran's North American profit estimate of "Chainsaw", Le Zhiren was no less surprised than Zhong Chuhong, but his concentration was better and he didn't show it on his face.
"Then what are Mr. Jiang's specific considerations?"
Jiang Ran picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip lightly, and then said slowly: "I want to start our old business in the United States, and we also have experience in the video tape rental business." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Ran showed regret on his face, "It's a pity that production and distribution companies in the United States can't touch theaters and theaters, otherwise we can move our cinema model over." ”
After sighing, Jiang Ran continued: "In addition, in order to distribute the film in North America in the future, as well as to facilitate cooperation with Hollywood companies, we also need to register a film and television company in Los Angeles. ”
Le Zhiren silently pondered Jiang Ran's words in his heart, straightened out his thoughts, and then said: "I agree with Mr. Jiang's opinion, since we want to develop the North American market, it is really convenient to have a film and television company over there." The establishment of a videotape business in North America will also help us promote Hong Kong films and enhance the overall influence of the Hong Kong film industry. ”
Jiang Ran nodded and said to Le Zhiren: "After you go down, communicate with the relevant companies and personnel, not only to ensure efficiency, but also to ignore the monitoring of the newly opened company." ”
"I see, Mr. Jiang. Le Zhiren can see from Jiang Ran's recommendation of Ren Xin, the candidate for the operation director of Dongfang Company, that his boss attaches great importance to the company's control.
Le Zhiren went out and didn't fight for a while, and Liu Liwei of Ranfeng Film and Television Company found Jiang Ran again. As soon as he entered the door, Liu Liwei happily congratulated Jiang Ran.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard that "Saw Horror" was a great success in the United States. Mr. Jiang deserves to be Mr. Jiang, and earlier there were Hong Kong media who said that Mr. Jiang suffered Waterloo on this movie, but they didn't know that Mr. Jiang, your eyes are no longer limited to Hong Kong. ”
Jiang Ran shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Okay! Ah Wei, it's good if the sycophants are almost patted." ”
"I'm telling the truth, since Bruce Lee, there is one in the whole of Hong Kong, except for Mr. Jiang, who else can achieve such results in North America?" I see ......," Liu Liwei said vigorously.
"Alright! Alright! Don't talk about that. How is the company's production going now?" Jiang Ran waved his hand, interrupted Liu Liwei's words, and asked about the production of the film and television company.
Liu Liwei saw that he was talking about business, his face was straight, and then he reported: "As for the movie, now Director Jiawen and Director John Woo each have a film in their hands, and in addition, there is a film directed by Tsui Hark invested by Mr. Jiang and produced by the company. These movies have all been watched and filmed, and they are going well. ”
Jiang Ran nodded when he heard this, and asked with some curiosity, "What about Director Zhengying?"
"I was about to talk to Mr. Jiang about this. Liu Liwei glanced at Jiang Ran, "ATV wants to adapt "Zombie Dao Chang" into a TV series, and Director Lin is also quite interested in this proposal, but this kind of psychedelic TV series, if it is filmed well, the cost will be relatively high, and the risk of return on investment is a bit large, so I want to ask you." ”
Jiang Ran knew in his previous life that it seemed that Lin Zhengying's zombie film had indeed been adapted into a TV series, but he didn't know what the final result was.
After thinking about it slightly, Jiang Ran said to Liu Liwei: "The cost of making TV series is indeed high, but this interactive operation mode of TV and movies is really worth exploring." ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "We can even expand this model from film and television to publications, so as to form an all-round development from text to film and television vision, and increase the profitability of the entire project while expanding the influence of the project." ”
Liu Liwei obviously didn't expect Jiang Ran to have such an idea, but looking back and thinking about the overall layout of Ran Feng, he said that Jiang Ran had been doing this work for a long time.
Liu Liwei glanced up at Jiang Ran, and then said, "Then I'll start setting up this project here?"
"You also want the editorial department to start adapting the film and television scripts at the same time. You have to discuss this issue with Mr. Zhao, in addition, although we want to make a TV series, "Zombie Dao Chang" is an important series of movies for our company, and we must not influence the filming of movies because of TV dramas. Jiang Ran finally reminded.
"I'll pay attention, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Ran nodded slightly. "Well, our company has made a great breakthrough in economic affairs this year, since we have signed an artist, we must pay attention to the cultivation of artists, the company's film and television works, if conditions permit, try to use the company's people. ”
"Please rest assured Mr. Jiang, we have always done this. Liu Liwei replied with a smile.
Jiang Ran said this, and suddenly remembered something, "Hey, Ah Wei, is the shooting of the tip of the tongue in Shenzhen going well?"
"It went very well, and the TV station over there was also very cooperative, and these two episodes were broadcast at the end of this month. ”
"Guangdong TV has negotiated the introduction of the tip of the tongue now, and when will they broadcast it?" Jiang Ran then asked.
"It's basically agreed, and they will wait for our broadcast of the last two episodes of this season in Hong Kong to arrange a specific broadcast time. Liu Liwei replied with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Jiang Ran naturally knew the reason why Liu Liwei was unhappy, obviously such an arrangement by the mainland was a distrust of Ran Feng.
