After the annual film and television plan of Ran Feng Film and Television Company was determined, all the work began to revolve around these plans, and Lin Jiawen's comedy, John Woo also found his own direction after last year's "True Colors of Heroes", preparing to make a shootout movie.

At the same time, Lin Zhengying came to Jiang Ran, rubbed his hands slightly, and looked at Jiang Ran with some expectation, "Mr. Jiang, I heard that you are looking for me?"

"A-Ying is here, sit down!" Jiang Ran got up and beckoned.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Lin Zhengying sat down on the sofa after bowing to thank him, looking at Jiang Ran expectantly.

Jiang Ran looked at Lin Zhengying, smiled slightly, and then asked, "A-Ying, I asked Ah Hong to push your recent movie invitation, will it have a big impact on your income?"

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Zhong told me about this matter, and I agreed. I also know which invitations, most of the films are not of good quality, and it is not good for me to receive more. ”

Jiang Ran nodded and smiled in agreement, and then said, "It's right that you can think so." Many actors take on a large number of movies of the same type after a certain movie is a hit, but they don't know that when the audience is faced with a movie or even a person, when these movies and people repeatedly appear in the field of vision in a similar way, they will get tired of it after a long time. ”

"If we want to avoid being bored by the audience, we should take advantage of the popularity to actively explore new directions and try to take as few movies of the same genre as possible, so that the audience will look forward to you again next time. ”

Therefore, after an actor has played a brilliant role, he should cherish the film and take this kind of role as his own heritage, so as to continue his popularity for a long time, and even become the capital to turn over when his development is frustrated. ”

Lin Zhengying didn't expect Jiang Ran to tell such a truth, but when he thought about it, it was indeed the truth. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your teachings, I know. ”

Jiang Ran saw that Lin Zhengying's expression didn't look like a fake, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The topic is far away. I came to you this time mainly because I have a project that I hope you will complete. ”

Jiang Ran said, handed the story outline of "Zombie Dao Chief" that had been prepared long ago to Lin Zhengying, and then continued: "I don't know how to direct this movie myself, Ah Ying, you are also an old qualified martial artist, and you have experience as a director, so I will hand over this movie to you, and you will also play the starring role, I will serve as the producer of the movie, you can come to me at any time if you have any questions." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang! Thank you, Mr. Jiang! I will not let you down. After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Lin Zhengying stood up excitedly and kept thanking Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran later discussed the script and filming of "Zombie Dao Chief" with Lin Zhengying, and when they were talking, a knock on the door interrupted the communication between the two.

"Please come in!" Jiang Ran looked up at the door and said.

The door of the office was pushed open, and Zhong Chuhong stood at the door pretty. followed by Chow Yun-fat, who looked a little embarrassed, and his secretary stood on the side and looked at him with some uneasiness.

Jiang Ran waved his hand, and after sending the secretary away, he smiled and beckoned the remaining two to come in, "Ah Hong, why are you and Ah Fa here?"

"Mr. Jiang, excuse me. Chow Yun-fat greeted politely

"Miss Zhong!" Lin Zhengying stood up and beckoned.

"Uncle Ying, you're here too!"

"Uncle Ying, I didn't bother you to talk to Ah Ran. ”

Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong greeted Lin Zhengying.

After Jiang Ran beckoned the two to sit down, Lin Zhengying got up and said, "Mr. Jiang, you have something to do here, you are busy first, I will go to the editorial department to discuss the script with Minister Hu." ”

"It's okay, after you get it over there, bring me the script. ”

After Lin Zhengying went out, Jiang Ran turned to look at the two of them and asked, "Why did you come here together today, is there anything wrong?"

When Chow Yun-fat heard this, he opened his mouth again and again, and finally Zhong Chuhong said: "Ah Ran, Ah Fa mainly wants to ask you about reducing the number of films. ”

Originally, Jiang Ran asked Zhong Chuhong to deal with this matter, but she only considered that Chow Yun-fat took on too many movies similar to "The True Color of Heroes", which would affect Ran Feng's sequel movie, and after talking to Chow Yun-fat, she realized that this would damage the interests of the actors.

In this regard, Zhong Chuhong is in a dilemma, on the one hand, if he continues to take movies for Chow Yun-fat, it will damage the interests of Ranfeng Company, and on the other hand, reducing Chow Yun-fat's movies will prevent Ah Fa from making money.

Jiang Ran listened to Zhong Chuhong's words, turned his head to look at the puzzled Chow Yun-fat, and said with a faint smile: "Ah Fa, I also mentioned this matter to Ah Ying just now. ”

"From the perspective of you actors, frequent filming of the same type of film will speed up the consumption of the audience's enthusiasm and expectations for actors, so for actors who have already become famous, my opinion is to reduce the number of films and focus on the quality of the film. ”

In this way, the audience's expectations for the actors can be accumulated and continued, and the chances of success of the actors' filming can be increased. Of course, reducing the number of films means that the income of the actor will be relatively reduced, so we need to increase the income of the actor from other aspects to balance the interests. ”

Speaking of which, seeing Zhong Chuhong and Chow Yun-fat thoughtful, the corners of Jiang Ran's mouth curled slightly, and he continued to Zhong Chuhong: "Ah Hong, increasing the income of actors outside of movies is your agent's job." ”

"The agent in your department should not only plan the artist's acting career, plan a suitable development path for them, and find a suitable film and television role for them, but also plan the image of the artist, promote and package them, and finally selectively find advertising and endorsement contracts for the artist according to the artist's image. ”

"Therefore, in the future, Ah Hong, the work of your artist agency department has a long way to go, we sign artists and share their income, so it is not a simple matter of finding jobs for them and providing display channels, it is just a very low-end economic work, and anyone who has been in the film and television industry for a period of time can do it. ”

After Jiang Ran talked about the company's economic affairs for a while, he ignored Zhong Chuhong, who was still thinking on the side, and looked at Chow Yun-fat again.

"Ah Fa, your problem now is that the outstanding performance of "The True Color of Heroes" has made many viewers recognize the role of Xiao Ma very much, and the market will look forward to you starring in similar movies again. ”

"But you yourself should know that most of these movies are made by following the trend of money, if you frequently appear in such movies, do you think about whether the audience will be disappointed and tired, you must know that most of them are going to watch movies for you, so will this boredom be transferred to you?"

Seeing Chow Yun-fat bow his head and ponder, Jiang Ran continued: "So, there are two choices for you now, whether you want to risk sacrificing your acting career to win short-term benefits, or give up some of your immediate interests, so as to ensure a healthier and long-term acting career." ”

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip gently, and quietly glanced at the pensive two, letting Chow Yun-fat consider the gains and losses by himself.

The office was quiet, only the sound of Jiang Ran leisurely tasting tea, Zhong Chuhong thought about it for a while, and was the first to come back to his senses, looked at Chow Yun-fat, and looked at Jiang Ran with inquiring eyes.

Jiang Ran smiled gently at Zhong Chuhong, then shook his head, signaling her not to disturb Chow Yun-fat.

After a while, Chow Yun-fat raised his head, looked at Jiang Ran with clear eyes, and then said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for solving my doubts, I think I understand." I follow the company's arrangement. - Ah Hong, you have to pick a good script for me in the future. ”

Chow Yun-fat said to the end, turned his head and joked to Zhong Chuhong.

Jiang Ran is very satisfied with Chow Yun-fat's choice, although he handed over the power of choice to Chow Yun-fat just now, but if Chow Yun-fat chooses to continue to shoot outside movies, Jiang Ran will definitely not vigorously praise him in the future, but will take advantage of the current popularity of "The True Color of Heroes" to squeeze his surplus value as much as possible.
