Chapter 176: Love in the Dead of Night

Jiang Ran didn't pay attention to the audience's reaction later, and walked out of the theater in a bit of a daze, thinking about the sparse audience in the theater and the people who left halfway, Jiang Ran was a little dumbfounded.

Jiang Wei had been following Jiang Ran's side, and naturally saw that his mental state was a little abnormal, and the whole person exuded an aura of decadence and confusion.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the first show, and it is at noon, and the number of viewers is small, which is normal. I believe that the situation will improve in the evenings and on weekends. Jiang Wei whispered relief beside Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran didn't reply, just glanced at him, a very plain and emotionless look, and then returned to his previous state.

Jiang Wei was a little panicked by Jiang Ran's glance, not intimidated by Jiang Ran's emotions, on the contrary, Jiang Ran's eyes without any emotion were the source of Jiang Wei's panic.

Through this short look, Jiang Wei could see a lot of things from it, Jiang Ran's self-confidence seemed to have been hit a lot, which was not a good thing for the Ranfeng Group.

Think about it normally, Jiang Ran is only in his twenties, since his debut and entrepreneurship, he has been smooth sailing, and has not experienced any big storms, this time in the face of the opposition of most of the group, he insisted on coming to the United States to promote and distribute "Chainsaw", the self-confidence can be imagined, from extreme self-confidence to extreme loss, the gap in the heart is very easy to make people confused and self-doubting.

Although Jiang Wei believes that Jiang Ran will definitely be able to adjust in a short time, the current release of the movie is not optimistic, and if there is any accident in the middle, which further causes Jiang Ran's sense of loss, it will be troublesome.

"Gotta figure figure out. Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Ran, who was walking in front, and thought to himself. He now hopes that "Saw Horror" can succeed in North America like never before, even if it costs more money, money is not very important at this time compared to the boss's self-confidence.

Back at the hotel, Jiang Ran briefly told Jiang Wei and the staff below a few words, and then returned to the room alone.

"Minister Jiang, the boss's mood doesn't seem to be high. ”

"It's not nonsense, I came with a high spirit, and on the first day of today's release, the results were so dismal, and I was definitely in a bad mood. ”

"Bang!" Jiang Wei was thinking about how to restore Jiang Ran's spirit, listening to the discussion of the following employees, his face turned pale, and he slammed the table.

"Aren't you very idle? Looking at the results of the movie, aren't you fucking ashamed? You still have the mind to gossip, don't you want to do it?"

The faces of the employees who were talking just now changed drastically, and they all lowered their heads to sort out the affairs in their hands, lest they be burned by their bosses.

Jiang Wei glared at several employees fiercely, "Give me a positive attitude, don't wait for things to do." Now we have a lot of pressure to publicize, and we have this time for small talk, do our job well, and think about how to solve the dilemma we are encountering. ”

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room, came to a quiet corner, thought about it, and then pulled out a number.

"Hey, who's that?" asked a languid, slightly impatient voice.

"Miss Zhong, I'm Jiang Wei. Sorry to bother you so late. Jiang Wei said to the phone.

"Jiang Wei, Minister Jiang?" Zhong Chuhong was slightly confused for a while before confirming.

"Aren't you in the United States?Is there something wrong?How is Ah Ran?" Zhong Chuhong thought of the late night now, Jiang Wei suddenly called him, thinking that Jiang Ran had an accident, and asked a little eagerly.

"Miss Zhong, don't be excited, I called mainly to ask Miss Zhong to comfort and comfort Mr. Jiang. "Chainsaw" is filmed today, the results are very unsatisfactory, Mr. Jiang's mood is a little wrong, I don't have much to do but call you. ”

Jiang Ran didn't know that Jiang Wei was calling Zhong Chuhong, he was now lying on his back on the large bed in the hotel, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes.

This film was regarded as a classic in the past, but now it is not popular, and it has been criticized by all film critics in Hong Kong. ”

"Is there really a problem with my film? Or is it because the limitations of the times have caused the audience's tastes to be different? Will I succeed in making other films in the future? Will this drag down the Ranfeng Group?"

"Ring-ring" Jiang Ran was thinking about it when a phone ringing interrupted his thoughts.

Lazily moved to the phone, "Hey, something's wrong?" Jiang Ran's tone was not very good.

"Ah Ran, it's me. Although you are busy with movie distribution, as the boss of a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars, you can leave the specific matters to Jiang Wei and them, so you don't need to worry about it yourself. Zhong Chuhong's voice came out of the phone, meaning something.

Jiang Ran was slightly stunned before he reflected that his thinking was a little dull today.

"Ah Hong, I'm fine. Why are you calling at this time? It's late at night in Hong Kong. Jiang Ran asked with a strong spirit.

"Isn't your movie scheduled to be released today? I'll call and ask?" Zhong Chuhong asked as if unintentionally.

Jiang Ran's expression darkened slightly when he heard this, and he didn't want to speak very much, but when he thought that Zhong Chuhong came to care about his movie results so late, he was extremely moved.

"Hey, judging from the current situation, the results are not ideal. After Jiang Ran sighed, he said a little dejectedly.

"Ah Ran, is this the reason why you are listless? As a company with no roots in North America, as an outsider, isn't it normal for us to have bad grades at the beginning? ”

"I don't say whether the results are good or not, but as long as you attract attention in the North American film market, won't the purpose of your trip to the United States have already been achieved? I think that as long as the follow-up publicity is done properly, with the bloody level of "Chainsaw", it will definitely attract people's attention. ”

"But with so few people coming into theaters today, and so many people leaving the theater in the middle of the screening, I'm a little skeptical that I made the film right in the first place. Jiang Ran was very lonely and confided in Zhong Chuhong.

"As a foreign film, it is a common phenomenon that it cannot attract audiences in North America. You can only take your time, don't you want to change this pattern when you go to North America to explore the market?"

"As for the people who watched the movie quitting halfway? Isn't this the characteristic of "Chainsaw"? The main focus of this movie is bloody thriller, and some viewers quit halfway, doesn't it also explain the characteristics of the movie? Why do you get entangled in this question?"

Zhong Chuhong analyzed slowly, and she found that Jiang Ran seemed to have drilled the tip of the horns, "Didn't you also say that when you filmed "Chainsaw", this movie has distinctive characteristics, and the box office results are not necessarily good, but it will definitely be impressive, suitable for opening up the market and making a name for yourself, why are you starting to worry about box office results now? Then you might as well release the version with a low level of blood, so maybe the results will be better, at least there will be fewer people who will quit." ”

Jiang Ran obviously couldn't explain to Zhong Chuhong the achievements of "Chainsaw" in his previous life, which was the key point of his confidence and loss, but now after communicating with Zhong Chuhong for a while, the depression in his heart has indeed calmed down a bit.

"Ah Ran, I think you're thinking a little too much. You are the boss of Ranfeng Group, and the gains and losses of a movie have no impact on you and the company at all. Why are you so concerned about the results of "Chainsaw"? We are now developing the market, okay?" Zhong Chuhong then persuaded.

"Yes, I'm the boss of Ran Feng. Film directing is just one of my professional interests that will be convenient for me to replicate the successful films of later generations. I've been arranging for the company to train other filmmakers for a long time, and in the past two years, isn't Lin Jiawen, a director who is not famous in later generations, successfully cultivated by me? Without my films, Ran Feng would still be a big company in Hong Kong. ”

After Jiang Ran listened to Zhong Chuhong's words, he suddenly figured it out in his heart.

"Ah Hong, thank you! It's still late at night over there, go to bed early, and I'm going to discuss the promotion of the movie with Jiang Wei again. ”

"Well, if you figure it out, you can go and get busy. ”

"Well, that's it. Ah Hong, I love you! Good night!" Jiang Ran said a rare love word to Zhong Chuhong.
