After Jiang Ran greeted John Woo, Ran Feng Group officially determined the project "The True Color of Heroes", and after Jiang Ran made the story outline of the film, he handed over most of the work to John Woo and the editorial department.

After Jiang Ran handed over the improvement of the script to the editorial department, it does not mean that he can be relaxed himself, and the signing of the soul of Chow Yun-fat in this movie still needs to be operated by Jiang Ran himself.

Jiang Ran had reached a consensus with Chow Yun-fat on signing the contract before the project was established in the movie "The True Color of Heroes", and now what he needs to do is to convince Run Run Shaw that he can let go of Chow Yun-fat's contract.

"Ah Fa, you haven't taken on other film and television works for a while, right? Our company has a new project, and I left the protagonist to you. Before Jiang Ran Ran contacted Shaw, he first told Chow Yun-fat about the movie "The True Color of Heroes".

Chow Yun-fat is actually a little uneasy in the past few days, after Jiang Ran talked to him about signing a contract with Ranfeng Company a few days ago, he didn't see Jiang Ran do anything in the next few days, he thought that something had happened and was about to contact Jiang Ran.

Now that I heard Jiang Ran say that Ran Feng had set up a new project, and the protagonist was ready to use himself, Chow Yun-fat's heart was finally steady.

"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I've been waiting for your good news, and I haven't picked up other movies. Chow Yun-fat thought that he might work under Ran Feng in the future, so he was more polite when he spoke.

Jiang Ran heard Chow Yun-fat's change in his title, but he just smiled knowingly, and did not correct him, after all, he may be his own employee in the future, even if the relationship between the two is good, they need to be respectful and humble when working.

After informing Chow Yun-fat, Jiang Ran immediately made an appointment with Run Run Shaw, saying that after Jiang Ran became a shareholder of ATV, his relationship with Run Run Shaw became more delicate.

This is a time-honored tea restaurant, I heard that Run Run Shaw frequented here, and it was in this environment that Jiang Ran Ran once again met Run Run Shaw, one of Hong Kong's top film and television tycoons. When he saw Jiang Then, his face did not show other emotions, and he still greeted Jiang Ran warmly as before.

"Ah Ran, I haven't seen you for a while, and you're getting worse and worse now. ”

Jiang Ran always maintained due respect for Run Run Shaw, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Sixth Uncle praised it, but it's you, Sixth Uncle, now your spirit is getting better and better, and the TV station is becoming more and more prosperous." ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Run Run Shaw first made a haha, and then said as if it were true or false: "You are embarrassed to mention the matter of the TV station, you said that you have a stake in ATV, and now you are running to produce TV programs, because you can't get along with me, right?"

Jiang Ran had a wronged expression on his face, and then said: "Sixth uncle, you also think too highly of me, with my little ability, dare to go against you? ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran continued: "As for the one or two TV programs that we Ran Feng trial-produces for ATV every year, can you be said to be embarrassed by TVB? Sixth uncle, you are too stingy." Your TV station has already controlled most of Hong Kong's TV market, and you are still squeezing me like this, is it really not leaving any soup for other TV stations?"

"Haha, you kid, you're getting more and more slippery now, and you don't lose anything. After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Run Run Shaw pointed at him and laughed.

Jiang Ran's words not only expressed that he was no threat to Run Run Shaw in terms of TV, but also quietly praised Run Run Run Shaw and TVB, and also pointed out that unless Run Run Run Shaw can dominate the Hong Kong TV market, even if there is no Jiang Ran, there are other people who can cause trouble for TVB.

Jiang Ran and Run Run Shaw are also old acquaintances, and after some politeness and temptation after meeting, Jiang Ran directly put forward today's purpose.

"Sixth uncle, I'm ashamed to say that when I came to you today, I actually wanted your help with something. ”

The old god Run Run Shaw took a sip of tea and said as if he had expected it: "You kid has always been a person who has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say what?"

Jiang Ran looked serious, and then said, "Uncle Six, I want to sign Chow Yun-fat's movie contract." ”

Seeing that Run Run Shaw's face was a little gloomy, Jiang Ran hurriedly explained: "Sixth uncle, don't be in a hurry to refuse first, listen to me." ”

"You say, I'm listening!"

"Sixth uncle, now Chow Yun-fat has experienced last year's popularity in movies, and after several movies have failed at the box office this year, his popularity in movies has been hit quite hard, and it can even be said that his popularity on TV has been affected to a certain extent. ”

Jiang Ran glanced at Run Run Shaw and saw that he had no objection, and then said: "Now your Shaw Brothers movies are mainly focused on martial arts, comedies and Fengyue movies in production, but with all due respect, Chow Yun-fat's image is not suitable for these movies, he continues to stay in Shaw Brothers, the situation will only get worse and worse, and even affect the TVB TV series he starred in." ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Run Run Shaw did not refute Jiang Ran's opinion, because what Jiang Ran said was true, Chow Yun-fat's performance in movies this year was indeed very disappointing, and it also showed that he really did not have much potential to tap in comedy movies.

After being silent for a while, Run Run Shaw asked with a little sarcasm: "Our Shaw Brothers can't hold him, can you hold him up when you Ran Feng comes?"

Jiang Ran straightened his chest and said confidently: "Sixth uncle, although our Ranfeng is a small company compared to the Shaw Brothers, we have also produced several popular movies in the past two years and made several actors popular. If Uncle Sixth agrees that Ah Fa will change our Ran Feng, I will personally customize the character for him, I think I am afraid that the Shaw Brothers will not be able to do this. ”

Shaw did not say anything, acquiescing to this fact, "But what good is it for me?"

After listening to Run Run Shaw's words, Jiang Ran knew that the time was almost up.

"First of all, if Ah Fa makes achievements in the movie, it will definitely promote the ratings of the TV series he starred in. In addition, I can spend money to buy out Ah Fa's contract so as not to embarrass Uncle Six. In the end, Ah Fa himself should also hope to go further in his career, the sixth uncle will not do much good to the Shaw Brothers if he continues to keep his contract, but will make everyone angry. ”

Run Run Shaw finally agreed to give Chow Yun-fat's contract to Ran Feng, just like Jiang Ran said, in the case of Chow Yun-fat's own intention, forcing him to keep him is not beneficial to Shaw Brothers, but may affect the cooperation of the TV station.

Of course, the most important thing is that Shaw Brothers Film Company itself did not make others popular, but made people's careers worse and worse, and even affected the TV station.

Jiang Ran did not stop poaching after getting Chow Yun-fat's signing, and this time the person he wanted to poach was the famous zombie Taoist in his previous life, and now Lin Zhengying of the Hong family class.

Lin Zhengying entered the film industry very early, as early as 1971, he began to be a martial arts instructor, and later he was valued by Bruce Lee, and it can even be said that he is Bruce Lee's royal martial arts instructor.

It's a pity that Lin Zhengying's face looks old and has never become famous, and after Bruce Lee's death, he can only eat with people like Sammo Hung who were not as good as him.

The reason why Jiang Ran wants to sign Lin Zhengying now is because in his previous life, Lin Zhengying almost dominated and represented the type of zombie fantasy movie. On the other hand, it is because "The True Color of Heroes" also needs the role of a big brother, and Jiang Ran thinks that Lin Zhengying is old and upright, which is enough to play the role of a big brother in the movie.

can not only solve the actor problem for the movie "The True Color of Heroes", but also reserve talents for the company's future films, so it is natural for Jiang Ran to poach Lin Zhengying from the Hong family class.

Lin Zhengying's signing is relatively much simpler than Chow Yun-fat's, on the one hand, Sammo Hung is too late to praise his junior and younger brothers, and Lin Zhengying is not strong in the Hong family class, so in the face of Jiang Ran's commitment to praise him as the protagonist in the future, Lin Zhengying himself agreed quite happily.

On the other hand, the Hong family class is now full of talents, Lin Zhengying is not an indispensable figure, and Sammo Hung is very tactful, in the face of Jiang Ran's request, he does not want to affect the relationship between them because of this matter, so after knowing Lin Zhengying's own wishes, he very happily agreed to let Lin Zhengying sign a contract with Ran Feng.
