Liu Liwei found inspiration in it because of the successful release of "Sword and Horse", and proposed a new film project with female characters to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran himself was very interested in Liu Liwei's proposal.

On the one hand, judging from the current release of "Sword and Horse", the market is not exclusive to such female-themed films, and even to a certain extent, it has shown great enthusiasm.

Because since the release of "Dao Ma Dan" on March 5, it has brought more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars to the box office of Ranfeng Group in just five or six days, and the momentum is not inferior to several movies released during the New Year.

And more importantly, during the period of release of the movie "Dao Ma Dan", while getting a high box office, the film reviews and audience reputation were quite good.

And this obviously gives Liu Liwei a lot of confidence to make female-themed films, at least taking advantage of the success of "Sword and Horse", it will definitely attract the attention of some audiences for the new movie.

Another reason why Jiang Ran is interested in Liu Liwei's new movie is because within the Ranfeng Group, there are now many female artists who have signed contracts, and Jiang Ran naturally hopes to cultivate a few people who can carry the box office alone.

In Hong Kong now, although there are many famous female artists, when it comes to the box office, it is actually up to the male actors to carry the crown, and the role of women in the movie is more as a vase or a foil for male artists.

Tsui Hark's "Knife and Horse" has obviously changed this situation to a certain extent, and now Jiang Ran hopes that Liu Liwei's new project can further consolidate this situation.

"Mr. Jiang, when you were in 82, you collaborated with Jackie Chan on "Police Story" can be said to have created a new film theme for Hong Kong films, but because of Jackie Chan's influence in this movie, we had to hand over this very excellent series of films to Golden Harvest. ”

Liu Liwei said this, his expression was still a little unwilling, "I have always been very sad about this, but unfortunately because of the movie with this theme, it has been too affected by "Police Story", and even affected the audience's preferences. ”

"So, any film of the same genre that appears on the market will inevitably be compared to "Police Story" and then have to face a failed ending. ”

Saying that, Liu Liwei's expression became slightly excited, "However, the success of "Dao Ma Dan" this time has given me a lot of inspiration. ”

"I was thinking, why don't we make a female version of 'Police Story', so it's impossible for the audience to compare our policewomen to Jackie Chan, right?"

"Not only can we avoid Police Story and Jackie Chan's influence in this genre, but we can even use its influence to attract more audiences. ”

Jiang Ran looked at Liu Liwei's dancing appearance, and was a little stunned for a while, he wanted to ask the other party very much, "Are you also crossing the ground?"

Jiang Ran can't help but doubt it, after all, according to Liu Liwei's description, isn't this the famous series of movies of Debao in the later generations - "Royal Senior Sister"?

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" Liu Liwei asked a little nervously after he excitedly finished talking about his idea, but did not hear Jiang Ran's response.

"Oh!" Jiang Ran came back to his senses, looked at Liu Liwei's apprehensive appearance, and laughed softly, "Haha! I think your idea is very good, and I very much support you in developing this project." ”

Hearing Jiang Ran's words, Liu Liwei let out a sigh of relief, and then said with great excitement: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I will not let you down." ”

When Jiang Ran and others were discussing this year's film plan in the company, another film giant in Hong Kong, Golden Harvest Company, was already preparing to hold a celebration banquet.

During the Spring Festival this year, Zou Wenhuai was in a very good mood, on the one hand, his old rival Shaw Brothers Film Company was about to die, and he was naturally comfortable.

On the other hand, this period of time has been full of good news for Golden Harvest.

First of all, Golden Harvest's investment and distribution of "Zombie Out" has achieved an astonishing box office performance of 180 million US dollars worldwide, and is expected to bring at least 25 million US dollars to Golden Harvest.

In the local market of Hong Kong, Golden Harvest Company led the way during this year's Spring Festival, and Sammo Hung "Lucky Star" made a breakthrough at the box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, beating competitors such as New Arts City and Ranfeng Group.

It is precisely for this reason that Zou Wenhuai and other leaders of Jiahe Company decided to hold a celebration banquet in the near future. On the one hand, it can show the strength and sharpness of Jiahe Company to the world.

On the other hand, Golden Harvest also has the meaning of enveloping Sammo Hung .

A celebration banquet is used to boost Sammo Hung fame and influence, which not only deepens Sammo Hung his sense of belonging to Golden Harvest Company, but also further deepens the estrangement between Sammo Hung and Pan Disheng of Debao Company.

"Uncle Huai, no problem! I will be there on time tomorrow. Jiang Ran, as an important partner of Jiahe now, also received an invitation from Zou Wenhuai.

Of course, Jiahe invited him, in Jiang Ran's opinion, it may not be that there is no intention to demonstrate to himself and the Ranfeng Group.

However, regardless of the demonstration or the sincere invitation, Jiang Ran didn't care very much, after all, when it comes to the achievements of Ranfeng Group during the Spring Festival, it is actually more eye-catching than Jiahe.

In the global market, the huge dividends of "Zombie Out", Ranfeng Group is the most important profiteer, according to the statistics of the distribution department, the box office revenue of Ranfeng Group on this film will reach 50 million US dollars, twice that of Golden Harvest Company.

In the local market of Hong Kong, although Ranfeng Group lost to Golden Harvest's "Lucky Stars" in the direct confrontation of a single movie, Ranfeng Group's "Dao Ma Dan" is now taking over, and it still continues to maintain the popularity of the market.

It can be said that in the Hong Kong market, Ranfeng Group relies on the quantity and balanced quality of films, and it will not be much inferior to Golden Harvest at the total box office.

The next day, Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong came to the hotel where the Jiahe banquet was located together to participate in the celebration banquet of "Lucky Stars".

Although this celebration banquet is ostensibly to celebrate the box office of "Lucky Stars" exceeding 30 million Hong Kong dollars, it is actually more to celebrate the overall achievements of Golden Harvest during this period of time.

Therefore, the crew members of "Zombie Out of the Cage" also received an invitation from Golden Harvest Company and came to the celebration banquet together.

After Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong got out of the car together, they smiled and said to Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan who were standing at the door: "Director Hong, congratulations! You scared me this time." ”

"Where! Where!" Sammo Hung looked honest and smiled like a Buddha with a very affinity, "Compared to Mr. Jiang's "Zombie Out of the Cage", I am still far behind. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but show a trace of envy on his face, "I heard that Mr. Jiang's "Zombie Out" now has a global box office of more than 180 million US dollars. That's more than a billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"There is no comparison! there is no comparison!" Sammo Hung said at the end, shaking his head vigorously and sighing, not knowing how much of his exclamation was true.

Jiang Ran smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "You can't say that, the two movies have different release locations, different types, and different production costs, so they can't be compared like this." ”

Jiang Ran said, turning his head to look at Jackie Chan, who was standing on the side and looked a little silent and embarrassed, "Ah Long, congratulations!" Jiang Ran said with a polite smile.

Jackie Chan was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Ran greeting him, and then immediately responded enthusiastically: "Mr. Jiang, hello! You and Miss Zhong are inside, please, Mr. Zou is already waiting for you inside." ”

said, without waiting for Sammo Hung and the others to open their mouths, he took the initiative to walk in front of Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong, and enthusiastically led the way for the two.

Speaking of which, Jiang Ran and Jackie Chan originally cooperated because of "Police Story", but later it was also because of this movie, coupled with the intention of Golden Harvest to suppress Ran Feng at that time, Jackie Chan and Jiang Ran and Ran Feng Group began to go further and further, and finally even evolved into a contradiction.

It's just that now as the relationship between Ran Feng and Golden Harvest begins to ease, and Jiang Ran's status in the Hong Kong film and television media circle is getting higher and higher, Jackie Chan has long wanted to ease the relationship with Ran Feng.

And when he saw that Ranfeng Group was now succeeding in Hollywood one after another, and gradually pushed Chow Yun-fat and others to Hollywood, Jackie Chan even began to regret it faintly.

After all, if he can maintain his relationship with Jiang Ran all the time, he may not be able to take a ride on Ran Feng and go to Hollywood now.
