When Jiang Ran faced the actors, directors and producers who took the initiative to rush in front of him from time to time, he finally sorted out the cause and effect relationship, it turned out that in today's occasion, he was the object that others needed to talk to.

And these people, for Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group, obviously don't be of much help at present. After figuring it out, although Jiang Ranjiang still had a smile on his face, he had completely lost the enthusiasm and impulse he had started.

"Man is really a lowly creature, and he must ask others to have enthusiasm and motivation. Jiang Ran finally got rid of the entanglement of these enthusiastic filmmakers, sat down alone in a quiet corner, shook his head gently, and thought with a wry smile.

"At the end of the day, I'm still like Hollywood! Jiang Ran thought in his heart, "But in fact, for most Hollywood filmmakers, my current achievements are superior to others." ”

"Jiang, why are you staying here alone?" Jiang Ran was thinking about his own thoughts in his heart, and a voice sounded in his ears again.

Jiang Ran looked back when he heard this, it turned out to be Robert Redford, he glanced at the other party with some strange looks in his heart, stood up with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Redford!"

Jiang Ran and the other party are actually not very familiar with each other, they have only met once today, and now Robert Redford has found himself, obviously not accidentally.

Robert Redford did come to find Jiang Ran, and after a few polite words, he did not hesitate and asked directly: "Jiang, I heard Harvey say that you and your company have their own cinema chain and distribution channels in Asia?"

Jiang Ran nodded and said: "My company has its own cinema chain in Hong Kong, and now it is actively building a cinema network in Southeast Asia, maybe next year, maybe the year after that, my company will have a complete cinema network in the whole of Asia." ”

"Well, Jiang. Have you ever thought about bringing some good movies from Hollywood and bringing them to Asia?" asked Robert Redford, looking at Jiang Ran.

"Mr. Redford, I'm afraid it's not my turn to distribute Hollywood movies overseas!" Jiang Ran was noncommittal to Robert Redford's proposal, "Warner and other film companies have almost monopolized the overseas distribution of Hollywood films, and I don't have the strength to compete with them." ”

Jiang Ran is talking about the current situation of Hollywood, which is actually not as strong as later generations, film special effects and other technologies have not yet matured, and Hollywood's advantages in the film industry have not yet been fully brought into play.

In this case, Hollywood's current films want to be distributed overseas, in fact, they basically rely on the eight major companies to complete, after all, they are the only ones who have such a perfect overseas distribution system.

As for the other distributors, at a time when Hollywood's independent films have not yet developed greatly, and the Big Eight companies control the vast majority of Hollywood's film sources, these distributors obviously won't easily offend the Big Eight.

Robert Redford shook his head when he heard this, and then explained: "Jiang, I'm talking about those excellent independent films with unique vision. You don't have to worry about competition from the Big 8 companies. ”

"I think these excellent and unique movies will definitely provide your theater chain with more source options, enrich your film library, attract more audiences, and bring good remuneration to your company. ”

Robert Redford's words made Jiang Ran understand a lot of things in an instant, and the other party's enthusiasm for Jiang Ran, and some of the promotional resources that "Zombie Out" got at the film festival were explained.

On the one hand, his "Zombie Out" participated in the film festival, as a film with a large amount of foreign investment, which can greatly improve the popularity of the film festival in Hollywood and overseas.

In this regard, it is clear that Jiang Ran and Ran Feng's actions have played a role in increasing the influence of the St. Denis Film Festival, and Robert Redford, as the most important person in charge of the festival, will naturally give feedback on this time.

On the other hand, it is clear that Robert Redford attaches great importance to the distribution channels of his Ranfeng Group in Asia, and if he can use the channels of Jiang Ran and Ranfeng to open the distribution channel in Asia for these independent films participating in the festival, then it will definitely attract more independent filmmakers to participate in the Saint-Denis Film Festival, which will bring great development and promotion to this nascent film festival.

Jiang Ran did not immediately respond to Robert Redford's proposal, although the other party's words sounded reasonable.

But in the current era, although Hollywood movies have a tendency to dominate the world's films, if it is specific to the Asian market, the audience's first choice for watching movies now will definitely not be Hollywood movies.

In this case, Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group rashly introduced independent films that do not occupy the mainstream in Hollywood, and the risk is not small.

On the other hand, Jiang Ran, the base camp and foundation of Ranfeng Group, is in Hong Kong and Asia, even if he knows very well that it is only a matter of time before Hollywood contributes to the entire Asian market, but Jiang Ran also hopes that this time can be as late as possible, and he very much does not want to be a person who lures wolves.

Jiang Ran didn't want Hollywood movies to enter the Asian market from the bottom of his heart, but he knew that it was inevitable, so although he was a little resistant in his heart, he didn't intend to refuse directly.

On the one hand, as Jiang Ran said, in the next year or two, Ranfeng Group will improve its cinema network throughout Asia, and the demand and variety of film sources will be increasing, and English films are obviously among them.

On the other hand, the agency distribution of Hollywood movies can obviously bring greater influence and voice to Ranfeng Group in Hollywood, which is very helpful to Ranfeng Group's foothold in Hollywood.

Finally, if Jiang Ranfeng's Ranfeng Group can cooperate with the St. Denis Film Festival to provide distribution business for the films participating in the festival, then it will definitely enhance the relationship between Ranfeng and the St. Denis Institute, and can also increase the voice of Ranfeng Group in this film festival. And these intangible things, at some point, can definitely bring unexpected gains to Ran Feng.

Tapping his fingers on the armrests of the sofa again and again, Jiang Ran quietly considered the other party's proposal, weighing the gains and losses, hoping to find a more beneficial way of cooperation for him.

"Mr. Redford, I am personally very interested in your opinion, but it is a very important question of how to cooperate. Jiang Ran thought for a moment, looked up at Robert Redford and said.

"Jiang, this is the most beautiful news I have heard today. After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Robert Redford said with a happy face.

"I don't know if you have any opinions on the way to cooperate?" asked Robert Redford, "of course, I hope that our festival can play a positive role in this." He finally emphasized.

Of course, Jiang Ran understood what the other party meant, and it was impossible for others to give benefits without a purpose.

"Of course. Jiang Ran nodded, "The film festival and your institute can recommend films to us, and we will focus on these films according to the actual situation." ”

Jiang Ran gave the other party's assurance, and then continued: "Of course, we are actually taking a big risk when we release these movies in Asia. ”

After all, the cultural differences between Asia and the West can be a huge barrier to viewership, and this is especially true in many independent films. ”

"You're right!" Robert Redford nodded in agreement, "Jiang, how do you want to solve this problem?"

Jiang Ran glanced at the other party and said: "It's very simple, in the production of the movie, we should introduce our oriental actors as much as possible, and in the logical advancement of the plot, we should also selectively consider the oriental thinking and culture." ”

"Of course, if these films can be made with our investment in the production process, then I think these problems will be easier to solve. ”

Jiang Ran hopes to increase the oriental elements in these films through investment, scripts, actors and other multi-faceted interventions as much as possible.

On the one hand, this can be more advantageous to protect and control the risk of Ran Feng's introduction of these films, and on the other hand, when more and more oriental elements appear in Hollywood films, it can actually bring great benefits to the distribution of Ran Feng's own films in Hollywood.
