The actions of Ranfeng Group and ATV, fueled by the media, were quickly widely known. Everyone knows that these actions are helpless under the pressure of the Taiwan government, and in combination with the fact that the Ranfeng Group was blocked in Taiwan, Ranfeng has won the sympathy of a considerable part of the Hong Kong people.

Just when everyone is still sorry for Ranfeng Group, Ranfeng Group's actions have not been broken, Liu Liwei, Gui Zecheng and Yong Yiyi and other high-level executives of Ranfeng continue to travel back and forth between Taiwan and Hong Kong, and launched a public relations action that does not move outside, but has a huge momentum inside.

They started from Taiwan's economic department, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other departments at the same time, and in a short period of four or five days, they spent several million Hong Kong dollars, and finally obtained the understanding of some key figures.

However, Jiang Ran believes that although he can't see the effect of spending money for the time being, when the time comes, he believes that the lifting of the ban on Ran Feng in Taiwan must be a matter of course, and it is not impossible to even go to the next level.

No matter what kind of preparation and operation is behind it, for most people in Hong Kong, it is an indisputable fact that Ranfeng Group suffered Waterloo in late November this year.

On November 20, Oriental Charm's store in Taiwan was closed, and Ranfeng Group's films were censored and banned by the Taiwanese authorities.

On November 23, Ranfeng Group couldn't resist the pressure and transferred a very profitable variety show like "A Bite of Xiangjiang" to Asia TV for free.

Immediately afterwards, on Friday, November 25, the day before the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Ranfeng Group once again announced that the group gave up control of its subsidiary, Oriental Charm Company, and transferred full authority to Bluestar Investment.

The company that suddenly appeared in Bluestar Investment is ostensibly controlled by the American-Peter Johnson, but in fact, the real person in charge of this company is Ran Dong, who withdrew from the Ranfeng Group.

Under the hype of the media, ordinary people think that Jiang Ran's Ranfeng Group must have suffered heavy losses this time, on the one hand, in terms of film and television, losing Taiwan, a very important foreign market.

On the other hand, under pressure, the loss of Oriental charm, a very potential high-quality industry, has greatly weakened the strength and influence of Ranfeng Group.

However, Ranfeng's bad luck did not end, and at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony on Saturday on the 26th, Ranfeng Group suffered another heavy blow.

At the 20th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Ranfeng Group received a total of eight nominations for the outstanding performance of "The True Color of Heroes", and was the favorite to win this year's Golden Horse Awards.

It's a pity that before the start of the Golden Horse Awards, Ranfeng Group offended the Taiwan government because of political problems, and even banned the whole of Taiwan.

Before the Golden Horse Awards, in fact, a considerable number of media were predicting that this time Ranfeng Group and the crew of "True Colors of Heroes" might be snubbed by the organizing committee.

However, it is clear that everyone is underestimating the influence of politics on this year's Golden Horse Awards.

As a popular crew, many people think that they will be left out in the cold, but the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee should give the crew one or two inconsequential small awards, so that everyone looks good.

But the fact is that Ranfeng Group did not receive anything at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards this time.

Jiang Ran himself had long expected that he would not gain anything in the best director, whether in terms of qualifications or politics, so he was absent from the award ceremony from the beginning on the grounds that the company was busy.

However, the nominees of the other crews, although they were worried that the award would be affected by the affairs of the Ranfeng Group, had extravagant expectations after all, but unfortunately, when the results came out, they were still disappointed.

The blockade of the Taiwan authorities, the comprehensive failure at the Golden Horse Awards, and the transfer of high-quality industries have all made Ranfeng Group look stormy.

When Ranfeng Group is in turmoil, the Hong Kong media will naturally not let go of such a good topic. Although Jiang Ran and other senior executives of Ranfeng Group want to use their influence in the media to reduce the pressure of public opinion on the group, when the so-called wall falls down and everyone pushes it, and people are in trouble, there will always be more people who fall into the stone than those who send charcoal in the snow.

"Ranfeng Group lost money at the Golden Horse Awards, and the lifting of the ban on movies is still shaky. —Oriental Daily News

"The high-level decision-making of Ranfeng Group has caused successive setbacks in the development of the group, and the good situation has come to naught. - Hong Kong Economic Journal

"Jiang Ran's magic is no longer there, he made a wrong decision and suffered heavy losses. ——"Industrial and Commercial Daily"

"Taiwan continues to exert pressure, and Ranfeng Group survives, how long can it last?" - "Sing Tao Daily"

……

When the Hong Kong media was disturbed, everyone's eyes were focused on the plight of Ranfeng Group, but no one noticed that on the same day as the Golden Horse Awards, Oriental Charm Company quietly reopened again after being shut down in Taiwan for a week.

In Hong Kong, it is not that no one can see the operation methods of Ranfeng Group in Oriental Charm Company, and even some people in the media want to expose this matter, but Ranfeng himself has to suppress this matter.

The matter of Oriental Charm Company has not been exposed, but the failure of the next Golden Horse Awards, coupled with the continued ban of Ranfeng in Taiwan, has caused the reputation and influence of Ranfeng Group in the Hong Kong film and television industry to decline sharply.

Although the Hong Kong media sang about the decline of the Ranfeng Group and gained some sympathy points for the group and Jiang Ran, it also caused the group's external influence to decline, and at the same time, the internal people began to panic.

And such a situation is not the result of other film and television theater companies behind the scenes, even if Uncle Shao Liu, who has a good personal relationship with Jiang Ran, I am afraid he will not mind falling into the well when necessary, after all, it is always a good thing to have one less opponent.

In the public opinion environment of the overall singing and declining Ranfeng Group, as the signed artists of Ranfeng, they are panicked and uneasy, it is inevitable that they will be affected, and everyone is worried about their future.

John Woo is filming the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes" during this period of time, and the shadow of losing the Golden Horse Awards a few days ago is still affecting the crew, and even himself is full of loss and worry.

On this day, John Woo had just finished work when he received a long-lost phone call.

"Asen, I haven't been in touch for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?" asked a hearty voice on the phone.

After Wu Yusen confirmed that he had heard correctly, he hesitated slightly and said, "Mr. Mai, hello! What can I be busy with? ”

"Asen, are you free? Get together together?" the call was made by Mai Jia from Xinyi City.

John Woo pondered Mai Jia's invitation, they worked together when Princess Jin was first established, when John Woo used the pseudonym Wu Shangfei to help them shoot "Funny Times".

It's just that after Wu Yusen left Golden Harvest, he joined the Ranfeng Group, and because of the relationship between Ranfeng and Princess Jin, the connection between them has been interrupted for a long time.

After a long period of no contact, Mai Jia suddenly invited himself to get together, and then thinking about the situation of Ranfeng Group during this time, Wu Yusen probably understood in his heart.

After thinking clearly, John Woo was about to reject Mai Jia, but his heart suddenly moved, now that Ranfeng Group has lost the Taiwan market, the appeal of independent film companies has declined, which also means that its influence in the Hong Kong film and television industry has declined, and its prospects have begun to become a little uncertain.

And Mai Jia's new art city, backed by the Golden Princess Cinema Line, is now in the limelight in Hong Kong, and it is also a good thing to go and leave a way back for yourself by the way.

After Wu Yusen promised Mai Jia, he did not delay, and went straight to the agreed hotel after finishing work and entered the box set by Mai Jia.

After pushing the door in, Wu Yusen saw that there were already four or five people sitting inside, in addition to Mai Jia and several shareholders of Xinyicheng, there were also Lei Juekun and Li Maowen.

"Asen, you're here! Come in and sit down, I'll be waiting for you. After seeing Wu Yusen come in, Mai Jia got up first and greeted.

Wu Yusen's face was a little stiff, he didn't expect Lei Juekun to be there, he originally thought that it was just a few people in Xinyi City, they had a friendship with each other, and everyone gathered together, and no one could say that he was not.

But Princess Jin, the big boss of one of the four major cinema companies in Hong Kong, Lei Juekun, appeared at the party, if someone saw him, then he Wu Yusen would be a little unclear, after all, it is a difficult time for Ranfeng Group now.

"Mr. Mai, Bai Ming, Ah Tian, long time no see. Wu Yusen squeezed out a smile on his face and greeted, and then turned to Lei Juekun and the two, "Mr. Lei, Mr. Li, you are also here." ”

"Director Wu, sit down!" Lei Juekun greeted very warmly.

After Wu Yusen sat down, Lei Juekun spoke again: "Mr. Wu filmed "Funny Times" for us at the beginning of the opening of our Golden Princess, and made great contributions to the foundation of our new art city and Golden Princess. ”

Saying that, Lei Juekun shook his head with regret, "I've always wanted to cooperate with you again, but it's a pity that Jiang Ran's actions are too fast, and I haven't even reflected yet, you have already joined the Ranfeng Group." ”

When Wu Yusen heard this, he laughed dryly, and then said: "Mr. Lei praised it falsely! Xinyicheng and Princess Jin can succeed, that is the ability of Mr. Mai and Mr. Lei, I don't dare to take credit." ”

"What movie is Director Wu busy with this time?" Li Maowen saw that Wu Yusen was uncomfortable, and interjected in time to change the topic.

John Woo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm filming a sequel to "The True Color of Heroes". ”

"Oh? Then we're probably going to face each other for the Spring Festival this year. Mai Jia raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said with a hippie smile.

"Hehe! It depends on how the company schedules the film at that time. John Woo said with a smile.

"Speaking of "The True Color of Heroes", it's a pity that you are at the Golden Horse Awards this time, Director Wu has a lot of hope that he can make a difference, although you are co-directed with Jiang Ran. It's a pity that you were implicated by Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group. Li Maowen said.

Wu Yusen was noncommittal about Li Maowen's words, shook his head with a smile, and did not answer.
