Jiang Ran unexpectedly received a questioning call from Liao Yiyuan of Yindu in the company, and his mind was clouded, and he didn't know the origin of the other party's questioning at all.

Jiang Ran hadn't been questioned so unceremoniously for a long time, and he was slightly unhappy, but thinking of the other party's background, Jiang Ran forcibly pressed the displeasure in his heart and asked:

"Old Liao, you brainless, you completely confused me. What is it that makes you have such a big opinion about me and our Ranfeng Group? ”

Liao Yiyuan listened to Jiang Ran's words on the phone, his tone softened slightly, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, our two families have always cooperated well, right? In the first half of this year, your movie wanted to invite Li Lianzhuo to act, and found me here, but I didn't say a word, let go of my old face, and asked friends in the mainland to help dredge up the relationship, and finally let the mainland let Jet Li go." ”

Speaking of this, Liao Yiyuan's anger came up again, "I, Liao Yiyuan, did my best to you Mr. Jiang and Ranfeng Group, right? But what did you do? Slap me in the face and dig into the wall!"

Jiang Ran listened to Liao Yiyuan's words, and basically knew what was going on in his heart.

Speaking of which, Jet Li was able to come to Hong Kong to star in "Zombie Out of the Cage" at that time, and he was indeed fortunate to Liao Yiyuan's help, otherwise other mainland departments would not have released people at all.

You must know that in this era, the mainland is full of a tide of going abroad, and many people take advantage of opportunities such as overseas inspections to never return.

Therefore, when Ranfeng Group invited Jet Li to Hong Kong to act in a movie, Jet Li's mainland unit didn't think about it, so he directly rejected Ranfeng Group's request.

It wasn't until Jiang Ran came forward to ask Liao Yiyuan to help communicate that the other party readily agreed to Ran Feng's invitation.

However, when Jet Li came to Hong Kong and saw the remuneration of the extras in the crew and the remuneration offered to him by Ranfeng Group, he had a clearer understanding of the difference in salary between Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as his own worth.

You must know that when Jet Li and others filmed "Shaolin Kid" last year, they were still paid a fixed monthly salary, and now how much is the monthly salary in the mainland?

Dozens of yuan!

With such a huge difference in income, no matter how great a person is, there will be a gap in his heart. Therefore, after completing the filming task of "Zombie Out of the Cage", Jet Li was inevitably shaken in the face of the olive branches that Ranfeng Group continued to reach.

It is precisely for this reason that after returning to the mainland after finishing his work in Hong Kong, after discussing with his family, Jet Li directly had a showdown with his unit, making it clear that he wanted to develop in Hong Kong.

In the face of Jet Li's sudden request, of course, the relevant parties in the mainland are unwilling, not to mention anything else, just the income from Jet Li's previous movies, as well as the salary from appearing in Hong Kong this time, can bring millions of income to the unit every year.

At that time, under the consumption level of the mainland, this was already a very big benefit.

Under the domination of such large interests, Jet Li's unit, and even many related film companies in the mainland, have come forward to obstruct Jet Li's trip to Hong Kong.

In this case, Ranfeng Group is naturally resented by these mainland counterparts, and it is the Yindu organization that endorsed Jet Li's filming of "Zombie Out of the Cage" in Hong Kong that was also affected, and Liao Yiyuan received calls from many mainland friends.

The complaints and accusations in and out of his words are not concealed at all.

Liao Yiyuan, as a bigwig in the Hong Kong film industry, although his influence in Hong Kong is not as good as that of Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, but as the leftist representative of the Hong Kong film and television industry, the chairman of Yindu Organization, his influence and power are naturally not to be underestimated.

Inexplicably being questioned by friends in the mainland, Liao Yiyuan held back his anger, and after learning what happened, he became even more angry.

Because the actions of Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group not only damaged the interests of mainland film companies, but also greatly damaged the interests of Yindu institutions.

In public and private, Liao Yiyuan couldn't bear this breath, so he directly called Jiang Ran, and unceremoniously vented the evil fire in his heart to Jiang Ran.

After Jiang Ran understood the reason, he did not shirk, but said directly: "Old Liao, I do have our problems in this matter, and it is my fault that I did not communicate with you in advance. ”

"Old Liao, do you think it's not like this, when are you free, I will personally pour you tea and apologize?"

Jiang Ran admitted his mistake to Liao Yiyuan very simply, his own approach to this matter was indeed not authentic, and it indirectly damaged the interests of the other party, so Jiang Ran admitted his mistake very simply.

Liao Yiyuan and Yindu institutions have a lot of interests in Jet Li, you must know that Jet Li's first two movies, whether it is "Shaolin Temple" or "Shaolin Kid", Yindu institutions can participate in investment and distribution.

It is precisely because the Yindu Organization has a lot of interests in Jet Li's body that Liao Yiyuan's anger is so great, otherwise, with Jiang Ran's current status in Hong Kong, Liao Yiyuan would not have questioned Jiang Ran so simply under the blame of the mainland.

Although Jiang Ran admitted his mistake very simply, the meaning of his words did not mean to stop, which made Liao Yiyuan extremely annoyed.

"Mr. Jiang, we don't talk darkly. Let's not talk about the rights and wrongs of your approach, but your actions have really damaged the interests of our Yindu institutions. I only hope now that in the matter of Jet Li, you Ranfeng Group can stop in moderation and stop there. ”

When Liao Yiyuan said this, he probably felt that the strength of his words was not enough, paused, and said again: "Jet Li's matter has not only seriously affected the interests of our Yindu organization, but also caused a very bad impact in the mainland, and many state-owned film production companies are extremely angry because of this, and even I have been implicated. ”

"Mr. Jiang, if you and your Ranfeng Group still don't stop, our Yindu Organization and I, Liao, are not the targets of bullying. ”

"In addition, I would also like to remind you, Mr. Jiang, that your counterparts in the mainland now have a lot of opinions about your Ranfeng Group, and are planning to collectively petition the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television to intervene in this matter through administrative means. ”

In Liao Yiyuan's words, the warning is very strong.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly when he heard this, although Ranfeng Group hopes to sign Jet Li, but if he offends Yindu Agency and Liao Yiyuan, even a large number of mainland film companies, it is not what Jiang Ran wants to see.

On the one hand, Yindu has a huge influence in Hong Kong and Asia, both in the film and television circles and in the media circle.

On the other hand, those mainland film companies are not easy to mess with, they are all state-owned units, and they are inextricably linked to the government.

For a person like Jiang Ran who knows the future direction of history, although the mainland government cannot control itself at present, he does not have much interest in the mainland.

However, Jiang Ran knew that Hong Kong in the future would eventually be taken back by the mainland, and Hong Kong would inevitably rely on the mainland in the future, both economically and politically. The Hong Kong film and television industry will not be able to do without the support of the mainland market in the future.

It is precisely for this reason that although Jiang Ran has always emphasized the political neutrality of Ranfeng Group, deep down, Jiang Ran has been preparing for the future entry into the mainland market from the beginning.

Therefore, Jiang Ran is very reluctant to offend these film colleagues in the mainland, after all, Jiang Ran doesn't want to be careless now, and suddenly find out in the future that a certain high-ranking official of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau is someone who has accidentally offended.

You must know that all film companies that want to enter the mainland market will have a big pair of scissors hanging over their heads in the future, and all the people in this circle will have to live in the shadow of this scissors.

"Old Liao, look at what you said, is that such an exaggeration?" Jiang Ran said tentatively: "It's just an actor's contract, you don't have to make such a big scene, right?"

Liao Yiyuan obviously didn't want to really get into trouble with Jiang Ran in his heart, after all, now Ranfeng Group has a huge influence in the Hong Kong film and television circle and the media circle, and it is not an easy target to deal with.

At present, it is in a critical period of Sino-British negotiations, and the relationship with Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group is deadlocked, and it is not beneficial for Liao Yiyuan to be public or private.

"Hehe! little actor?" Liao Yiyuan scoffed at Jiang Ran's words, "Jet Li's interests are related to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan, is this a matter of young actors?"

Regarding Liao Yiyuan's statement, Jiang Ran thought about it, and it was really like this. Jet Li's first two movies have indeed driven hundreds of millions of consumption and profits.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran knew that if he wanted to sign Jet Li and solve the trouble this time, it seemed that it would not work without paying the price.
