After entering late November, "Zombie Out" produced by Ranfeng Group began to warm up around the world, and the European and American markets gradually began to be known with the influence of the Hawaii Film Festival and the release of the videotape of "Chainsaw 2".

In Hong Kong, this film has been highly concerned as early as the beginning of Jiang Ran's project. On the one hand, the film's investment is unprecedented in Hong Kong. On the other hand, Jiang Ran's influence in Hong Kong and Asia is huge, and any film he directs is bound to be noticed and expected.

Just when the warm-up promotion of "Zombie Out of the Cage" was in full swing, there were some small problems in the film distribution work of Ranfeng Group.

The day after Jiang Wei returned to Hong Kong, he had to come to Jiang Ran again.

"Mr. Jiang, after I came back yesterday, Director Lin Zhengying came to communicate with me, hoping to put the release date of "Zombie Dao Chang 2" in the New Year. ”

Jiang Wei's expression was a little cautious, because the schedules of these movies were all scheduled early in the morning, and any change would cause a series of problems.

What's more, in this movie scheduling plan, there is also "Zombie Out of the Cage" directed by Jiang Ran.

When Jiang Ran heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have understood, mainly because Director Lin is not satisfied with some of the edited shots now, and he needs to make reshoot adjustments to some of the shots. However, the schedule is relatively tight, and if the schedule is not changed, Director Lin is worried that the rush will be too tight and affect the quality of the film, so I hope that our distribution company can give coordination. ”

Because Ranfeng Group has followed a strict filming process and plan from the beginning, it has been very good in terms of planning and completion compared with other film companies in Hong Kong.

However, after all, film shooting is different from ordinary industrial assembly lines, he needs the on-the-spot performance of crew members and actors, and also relies heavily on the director's on-site recreation on the shooting site.

Therefore, although Ranfeng Group has a very strict plan review before the filming of a movie, in the specific operation process, as long as the director obtains the consent of the producer, he can change the plan within a certain scope.

Because of this, generally speaking, when making a film and distributing a plan, the director will leave ample time for filming and production, so as not to affect the final publicity and distribution of the film.

Obviously, this time Ranfeng Group has a problem with the production and distribution of "Zombie Dao Chang 2".

Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Wei's explanation, and did not blame Lin Zhengying, but asked: "Liu Liwei, what's the matter with them? There was a problem with the film production plan, why did they communicate with you at this time?"

When Jiang Wei heard this, he hurriedly explained: "The film and television company communicated with me in advance about this issue, but because we had not started the promotion of the film at that time. I was hoping that they could do their work and try not to affect the original plan, so I didn't report it to you. ”

"However, yesterday director Lin Zhengying came to talk to me, and he thought that the release according to the original plan was a bit too hasty, so I hope that it can be rescheduled. ”

Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Wei's explanation, and although he was still not very happy in his heart, he did not dwell on this issue anymore, but asked: "Then what are the plans of your issuing company? Does such a change have any impact on the overall distribution of our group." ”

Jiang Wei glanced at Jiang Ran, and then said tentatively: "Mr. Jiang, look, can you move "Zombie Out of the Cage" to next month's release." ”

The release plan of "Zombie Out of the Cage" was set by Jiang Ran himself, so now to change the release time of this movie, Jiang Wei had to carefully seek Jiang Ran's opinion.

Jiang Ran silently thought about the group's production plan for the second half of this year, and found that in addition to his "Zombie Out of the Cage", several other movies really couldn't be released in time for next month.

"In this case, will it affect the overseas distribution of the film? You know, our plan early on was to release it globally simultaneously, in the hope of further increasing the influence of the film. Jiang Ran asked after being silent for a while.

Jiang Wei is obviously prepared for this question, "Mr. Jiang, I think that the early release of the film in Hong Kong will not affect the publicity and distribution of the film in other places. ”

"On the one hand, the impact of film promotion in Hong Kong and even in Asia on Western film markets such as North America and Europe is almost equal to zero. ”

"On the other hand, I think that we have an early release in Hong Kong, and with the influence of Mr. Jiang, we have a great deal of confidence that we will achieve excellent results, and this can have a positive impact on the overseas promotion of the film. ”

Jiang Ran finally agreed to Jiang Wei's plan.

Of course, although Jiang Wei agreed to Jiang Wei's plan, Jiang Ran still had to convince Harvey Weinstein and Zou Wenhuai, after all, the film was jointly distributed by the three companies.

"Jiang, I don't think there's any problem with what you're doing at all. Early release in Hong Kong may or may not surprise us. ”

For Jiang Ran's request, Harvey Weinstein agreed without any hesitation, and he was much easier to talk than he imagined.

Maybe it's because of the huge success of "Saw 2", or maybe it's because of the excellent effect of Jiang Ran's promotional opinions on the tape.

After convincing Harvey Weinstein, Jiang Ran immediately set off to Golden Harvest Company, ready to communicate with Zou Wenhuai in person, of course, Jiang Ran also wanted to talk to Golden Harvest about joint issuance by the way.

As soon as Jiang Ran walked into Jiahe Company, he saw that Zou Wenhuai had already greeted him with a smile, "Ah Ran, you are a rare guest." ”

Zou Wenhuai's enthusiasm made Jiang Ran a little stunned, it turned out that although Jiang Ran had a huge influence in the Hong Kong film and television media industry, he could compete with Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw and others.

However, although a big man like Zou Wenhuai is cordial on the surface and looks like an equal dialogue, in his bones, he always reveals a sense of superiority and seniority.

To be honest, Jiang Ran has never felt it in a few bigwigs in Hong Kong, and such enthusiasm made Jiang Ran a little confused for a while.

"Uncle Huai, what kind of trouble are you making here?" Jiang Ran looked at Zou Wenhuai with a smile with a wry smile, "You are so polite, but you praise me too much, I am a little unbearable." ”

After Zou Wenhuai heard Jiang Ran's words, he looked at his expression again, smiled happily and took Jiang Ran's hand, laughed and said, "You are now the pride and boss of our Hong Kong film industry." ”

"A "Chainsaw" series earns as much money as all our Hong Kong film companies combined, and it has completely let the world know our Hong Kong films, and in the history of Hong Kong films, only Bruce Lee was able to do it back then. ”

"Isn't it normal for me to greet you with such an achievement?" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai said this with enthusiasm, but in Jiang Ran's ears, there was some meaning.

"Is this jealousy of yourself, or warning yourself, or both?"

Jiang Ran turned his mind around, and the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, "Uncle Huai, you are killing me! What media reports can also be taken seriously?"

Zou Wenhuai didn't answer Jiang Ran's words, but waited until he came to the office before he looked at Jiang Ran and said, "Ah Ran, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, do you have anything to do with coming over today?"

Speaking, without waiting for Jiang Ran to speak, Zou Wenhuai continued: "However, I put my words in front today, even if you are dead-skinned, you must point out your Uncle Huai and take me to make a little money in the North American film market." ”

Jiang Ran was a little helpless about Zou Wenhuai's words, spread his hands with a wry smile, and said: "Uncle Huai, movies like the "Chainsaw" series are completely an irreproducible special case, and the luck component accounts for a large proportion. What I hope more now is that our Zombies Out of the Cage can be a big success, and that's our future. ”

Zou Wenhuai listened to Jiang Ran's words, stretched out his hand and pointed at the other party, and said with a smile: "With you out of the horse, I am very confident in "Zombie Out of the Cage". ”

Speaking of this, Zou Wenhuai looked at Jiang Ran's words and changed his words, "Ah Ran, I heard that in "Chainsaw 2", you have a cooperation with Miramax Films? ”

"It's not me who brags, in North America and Europe, although my achievements over the years are not very outstanding, but in terms of distribution channels and resources, I will definitely not be worse than Miramax Films. ”

Zou Wenhuai's fox tail was finally revealed.
