Chapter 109 - Commencement of Business (1)
At the same time, Gui Zecheng has also signed short-term lease contracts with more than 10 theaters, and is integrating under the leadership of the distribution department to prepare for the opening of the theater.
On January 18th, after Jiang Ran went to work on this day, he first went to the editing room to take a look at the editing work of "The True Color of Heroes", and then accompanied by Jiang Jianguo and the person in charge of Jinzhong Cinema, he went to Ranfeng Cinema City in Jinzhong.
"Hello Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang is good!" As soon as they walked into the studio, two employees dressed in uniform bowed to Jiang Ran and the others.
Jiang Ran's eyes stayed on the two employees for a moment, looked at the warm smiles on their faces, and the polite greetings, and nodded, "Well, you guys have worked hard!"
"Mr. Jiang, this is the ticket office and service desk of the cinema, and there are usually two staff members in charge. Jiang Jianguo accompanied Jiang Ran next to him and introduced sideways.
Jiang Ran listened to Jiang Jianguo's introduction while looking around, this was Jiang Ran's first time to check the scene after the construction of the cinema was completed and the employees arrived at their posts.
After turning the entrance hall, you can see that it is divided into several areas, among which there are rows of shelves with various video tapes, records, books, etc.
When Jiang Ran and the others entered, the employees inside were busy sorting out the shelves in and out, "Mr. Jiang, this is the store area of the cinema, and our video tape rentals, peripherals and other goods are rented and sold here. ”
Jiang Ran looked around and reminded: "The crowd of moviegoers and shoppers meet here, you must do a good job of on-site service in the future, we have added the concept of shopping to the cinema, in order to better serve the audience and consumers, all the problems that may be encountered must be considered in advance." ”
"Yes, Mr. Jiang! Jiang Jianguo and the studio manager responded together.
"Let's go to the theater. ”
"Mr. Jiang, please come here!" The studio manager listened to Jiang Ran's instructions and led the way in front of the diagonal direction.
This is a mini hall, Jiang Ran took a look at it, there should be less than 200 seats inside, the overall appearance is relatively spacious, there is no sense of depression, and the seats are relatively spacious, compared with the current Hong Kong cinemas, the environment is better than more than one grade.
"Mr. Jiang, this small hall can accommodate 150 audiences, and there are two theaters upstairs, which can accommodate 300 and 500 people respectively. ”
While Jiang Ran was watching around, Jiang Jianguo explained to Jiang Ran on the side.
"Well, the environment is not bad, now in terms of hardware, the group has laid a good foundation for you, after the opening of the theater to pay more attention to the health and other aspects of the service work, to make our service match or even beyond such hardware." ”
Jiang Ran and Jiang Jianguo went to inspect several other cinemas later, and Jiang Ran was basically satisfied with the preparations for the cinemas, but he also noticed some problems.
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, after the establishment of our cinema, because of the relationship with the combination of the store, the daily flow of people must be more, you have been in Hong Kong for a few years, and you should also understand the security of Hong Kong, so you should pay special attention to the security of the cinema. ”
Jiang Ran said this, glanced at Jiang Jianguo, and then said: "After the opening of the cinema, you have to take the managers of each cinema to visit the police leaders in the area in turn, and we must also fulfill the etiquette for the hall on the road." In addition, I will also arrange for the group's security personnel to be on duty in each cinema. ”
Jiang Jianguo has been in Hong Kong for more than two years, from a clerk to the general manager of Ranfeng Leasing Company, and has a very clear understanding of Hong Kong's public security issues, whether it is with people from the police force or with people on the road, he has dealt with it, so for the security of the cinema, even if Jiang Ran does not say hello, he will include it in the focus of attention.
"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I will take care of the land. ”
Jiang Ran patted Jiang Jianguo's shoulder, and then said, "Well, I'm relieved if you know it in your heart." ”
After Jiang Ran walked around the studio, as soon as he returned to the company, Le Zhiren rushed to find his office.
"Mr. Jiang, this is our guest list for the opening day of the cinema. Le Zhiren handed over a list in his hand.
Jiang Ran looked at the list handed over by Le Zhiren, and said with some sarcasm: "Well, Jiahe and Princess Jin are really stingy, if they don't come, they actually put pressure on the film companies below, are they so unconfident in themselves?"
Le Zhiren ignored Jiang Ran's ridicule of the two cinema companies, but said with some concern: "The problem now is that after these two companies do this, I am worried that the scene will not look good when it opens the day after tomorrow." ”
After Jiang Ran heard what Le Zhiren said, he put away the relaxation on his face, thought about it, and then said: "Now only Ah Hong and Ah Fa in our company can support the fame, and I will find ATV to pull some people over for other stars." ”
Speaking of this, looking at Jackie Chan's name on the list that he was not sure to come, Jiang Ran felt very dazzling, although Jackie Chan was a person who was highly supported by Jiahe, it was understandable to carry out Jiahe's orders.
But think about Jackie Chan only cooperating with Jiang Ran this summer, and it can be said that Jiang Ran and Ran Feng put Jackie Chan on the road of Hong Kong super kung fu actors, broadening his acting path for him, and Jiang Ran really spared no effort to tout him in the media at that time.
Now Jackie Chan is facing Ran Feng's invitation and gives an uncertain answer, the meaning of which is self-evident, this is to dissociate himself from Ran Feng.
In fact, with Jackie Chan's current reputation in the Hong Kong film industry, if he really wants to attend the opening ceremony of Ran Feng, Zou Wenhuai and others may be unhappy, but they will definitely not stop him strongly, and repaying Jiang Ran's praise is a good reason.
After sending Le Zhiren away, Jiang Ran picked up the phone and called Qiu Degen.
"Hello, Mr. Qiu! I'm Jiang Ran. ”
"Oh, Ah Ran, what's the matter?"
Qiu Degen's slightly muffled voice came from the microphone in his hand, and Jiang Ran replied: "Mr. Qiu, we have built five new cinemas in Ranfeng, which will open on the morning of the 20th, and I hope that this Rongxin can invite you to participate." ”
"I've heard for a long time that you Ranfeng are forming your own theater chain, but I didn't expect it to open so soon. Ah Ran, your pen is getting bigger and bigger. Qiu Degen said with some sighs on the phone.
"Hehe! Mr. Qiu, you have won the award, compared to Mr. Qiu's more than ten theaters, I can only be regarded as a small fight. Jiang Ran said modestly with a smile on the phone.
"Ha-ha" Qiu Degen laughed on the other end of the phone, and then said: "Ah Ran, you are becoming more and more able to talk now, don't worry, I will be on time on the day you open." ”
After Jiang Ran ended the phone call with Qiu Degen, he then said hello to Xu Xiaoming and asked him to help invite some TV stars to cheer on the day of Ranfeng's opening.
Xu Xiaoming agreed very happily to Jiang Ran's request, on the one hand, this request is not difficult for him, it is just a favor, on the other hand, which stars on the TV station may wish they could have a good relationship with Ran Feng and lay a good foundation for playing roles in Ran Feng's movies in the future.
In the list of people personally invited by Jiang Ran, in addition to the people from the ATV department, Jiang Ran will also personally invite Run Run Shaw, who has not expressed his position on the establishment of the theater in Ranfeng, whether he comes or not is one thing, after all, the cooperation between the two companies is quite pleasant, and now he has not seen through his face, so Jiang Ran feels that the basic etiquette must be reached.
