Jiang Ran has high hopes for John Woo, and when he heard Liu Liwei say that he has not yet found a suitable script, his first reaction is to make the script of the movie "The True Color of Heroes".

However, considering that Wu Yusen has just signed Ran Feng and has not yet completely run in with the company, Jiang Ran asked Liu Liwei to look for ideas in the editorial department first, and if it really doesn't work, Jiang Ran will take out "The True Colors of Heroes".

Thinking of "The True Colors of Heroes", Jiang Ran naturally thought of Chow Yun-fat, Chow Yun-fat really made a name for himself in movies after starring in Ran Feng's "Nightclub" last year, but in the current Hong Kong film market where comedy films are dominant, Chow Yun-fat's development in recent years is not ideal.

After experiencing the popularity of "Nightclub", in the following year, Chow Yun-fat has participated in three movies, but the box office is average, and by the end of this year, the popularity he accumulated through "Nightclub" last year has basically been exhausted.

Ran Feng Company has now signed with John Woo, so in the near future, the movie "The True Color of Heroes" will definitely be put on the screen by Jiang Ran, and Chow Yun-fat is the soul of this movie.

Now Ran Feng is planning to set up his own theater chain, so it will be inevitable to enter the film market on a large scale at the same time, in this case, Ran Feng Company definitely needs its own team, and a large number of signed artists will be inevitable.

Therefore, Jiang Ran will definitely pay more and more attention to the training of actors in his own company in the future film and television production process, like those roles that are destined to be popular, Jiang Ran will definitely not hand them over to people from other companies to play as before.

In this case, signing a potential stock like Chow Yun-fat is imperative in Jiang Ran's view.

"Ah Fa, I'm Jiang Ran. When you have time, let's get together and discuss something with you. After Jiang Ran made up his mind to sign Chow Yun-fat, he immediately took action.

"Ah Ran, I have time at any time, you can arrange it as you like. Chow Yun-fat and Jiang Ran are very familiar with each other, last year's cooperation was on the one hand, on the other hand, his relationship with Zhong Chuhong was very good, so the relationship with Jiang Ran began to become close.

"Okay, let's do it tonight!" Jiang Ran set the time.

In the evening, after Jiang Ran got off work, he picked up Zhong Chuhong and went to the hotel together.

"Do you have anything to do with Ah Fa today?" Zhong Chuhong had just finished filming "Ghost Guy", and was resting for a while, knowing that Jiang Ran was looking for Chow Yun-fat for dinner, he asked thoughtfully.

Jiang Ran gently hugged Zhong Chuhong, glanced down at her, and explained softly: "The company is now acquiring properties and planning to set up its own theater chain, so we need to start signing actors now." ”

When Zhong Chuhong heard this, he stood up from Jiang Ran's arms and asked in surprise: "Our Ranfeng Company wants to set up its own cinema chain? This is a big deal, aren't you afraid that several other companies will suppress you?"

Jiang Ran shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "What is the way, the company wants to develop further, and it is inevitable to set up a cinema chain, and it is precisely in consideration of the possible reactions of other cinema companies that I want to increase the signing of actors." ”

Zhong Chuhong looked at Jiang Ran in a daze, seeing that he was understating the pressure of several movie giants, his eyes were full of brilliance, and then he said softly: "Ah Fa is probably not so easy to sign, he still has a TV contract in TVB, and signing a movie contract may have an impact on this." ”

Of course, Jiang Ran knew that it was not easy to sign Chow Yun-fat, whether it was the TV contract involved, or Chow Yun-fat's own connections in TVB, it was impossible for him to break with Shaw Brothers. The only hope is to obtain Shaw's understanding and terminate the treaty peacefully.

But now the relationship between Jiang Ran and Run Run Shaw is not as harmonious as before, on the one hand, Ranfeng Film Company has caused huge pressure on Shaw Brothers in the film market. On the other hand, Jiang Ran joined ATV, and even participated in ATV's program production, and fought against TVB, so it is strange that Run Run Shaw will give Jiang Ran a good face.

"Hehe! The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, try Ah Fa's meaning first. Jiang Ran doted on Zhong Chuhong's pretty face and said softly.

When Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong arrived, Chow Yun-fat had been waiting for a while, and Chen Yulian also accompanied him.

"Ah Fa, have you waited for a while?" Jiang Ran greeted apologetically.

"Anyway, I'm free for a while, so I came early. Chow Yun-fat waved his hand, and then hurriedly beckoned Zhong Chuhong to sit down.

"What's the matter? I haven't taken on a movie during this time?" Jiang Ran asked curiously, although he knew that Chow Yun-fat's life had not been easy recently, but he really didn't know the specific situation.

Chow Yun-fat smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "Since last year's "Nightclub", I am now acting in a movie, losing one at the box office, and I have participated in a total of three movies this year, whether it is the box office or word of mouth, it is extremely bad, who else dares to come to me." ”

Jiang Ran naturally knew what the problem was found by Zhou Run, although his acting skills were not as brilliant as those in later generations, he was also one of the best in Hong Kong. Because of the TV series and handsome appearance, its popularity among the audience is still very high.

But Chow Yun-fat is really not suitable for acting in comedy movies, although "Nightclub" was also a comedy last year, Chow Yun-fat mainly made jokes through selling silly and language, and he was not the male number one in the movie.

Because in this movie, Chow Yun-fat's image change in it is not beyond the audience's tolerance, but will bring the audience a cute and silly comedy feeling.

But after that, Chow Yun-fat participated in several movies, which were basically authentic Hong Kong-style pretending to be crazy and stupid, neurotic exaggerated and angry, such an image has completely exceeded the audience's acceptance, so the movies he participated in are worse than the other, which is also predictable.

Jiang Ran said comfortingly: "Ah Fa, I have watched a few movies you have acted in recently, you are really not suitable for acting in comedy movies, and the audience is not very accepting of your image." ”

Chow Yun-fat glanced at Jiang Ran a little strangely and asked, "Isn't "Nightclub" a comedy movie?"

"Hehe!" Jiang Ran laughed, and then explained: ""Nightclub" is different from traditional Hong Kong-style comedy, his scale is smaller, and it is more like a humorous sketch. ”

Chow Yun-fat sighed in understanding, and then said: "Now that Shaw Brothers is basically about comedy, martial arts and Fengyue movies, what if I don't make comedies?"

Jiang Ran looked serious, and then asked: "Ah Fa, I actually want to discuss one thing with you today, we are short of actors in Ran Feng now, I want to invite you to join Ran Feng, I don't know if you have any intentions." ”

Chow Yun-fat was not surprised by Jiang Ran's invitation, because Jiang Ran had mentioned it to him a few times, but it was all tentatively mentioned before, and it was the first time that it was as formal and direct as today.

Chow Yun-fat looked at Jiang Ran's serious face, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, it turns out that the company's conditions for signing actors are still lacking, so I don't force you, now that the time is ripe, the company will start to increase the training of actors, so I officially invite you. ”

Chow Yun-fat was silent, he was not disgusted with joining Ran Feng, and even had some expectations, on the one hand, Ran Feng's ability to make movies is always known, Chow Yun-fat himself also benefited from Ran Feng's movies, and if he joined Ran Feng, it was possible to solve his current predicament.

On the other hand, Jiang Ran said that he would increase the training of actors, indicating that Ran Feng would increase the amount of film production in the future, and with Ran Feng backed by ATV, he may usher in a take-off in the future, and joining at this time will inevitably help the development of his career.

But Chow Yun-fat has to face a reality, he was born in TVB, and most of his connections are also dependent on this, and he has a TV contract in TVB, if he leaves Shaw Brothers now and joins Ran Feng, it will definitely have a certain impact on his reputation and career.

Jiang Ran saw Chow Yun-fat's hesitation, and then said: "Ah Fa, we Ran Feng will definitely increase investment in film and television in the future, and the company's current contracted actor is Ah Hong, after you join, you will definitely be a male artist supported by the company, and even tailor-made roles for you is not impossible." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran continued to increase, "Of course, I also know that you still have a contract in TVB, and I can go to Run Shaw to coordinate this matter, as long as you agree." ”
