"Jiang Ran, it's really good! "Golden Princess Film Company, in the chairman's office, Lei Juekun's roar came from afar.

In the office, in addition to the general manager Li Maowen, there are also Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, directors of Princess Jin, and everyone has some empathy for Lei Juekun's anger.

You must know that last year, Jiang Ran and his Ran Feng were able to produce and distribute several blockbuster movies one after another with the support of Princess Jin, and Princess Jin even gave up the right to distribute the film in cooperation with Ran Feng.

And what did Jiang Ran say to Lei Juekun and others at that time, his annual film production volume of Ran Feng would only maintain about two or three films, and he kept telling Princess Jin and others openly and secretly that he Jiang Ran would not enter the theater market.

Lei Juekun and others were faced with the dilemma of Princess Jin's lack of high-quality film sources at that time, and there was competition and suppression from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, even if they were wary of Jiang Ran, they had to win over Jiang Ran.

After the rapid development of Xinyicheng this year, Princess Jin adjusted her strategy for Ran Feng, but even in the face of the cooperation between Jiang Ran and Jiahe at the beginning of the year, Lei Juekun and others only targeted Ran Feng, but did not go all out to suppress Ran Feng.

But now Jiang Ran's Ranfeng company is a little bit aggressive, looking at the theater manager recruitment information published in the newspaper, fools know what this means.

Lei Juekun was so angry, on the one hand, Jiang Ran's promise last year was especially in his ears, but now it has only been a year, and his hexagram has changed too quickly, giving people a feeling of betrayal.

On the other hand, for Jiang Ran and his Ran Feng Company, when Princess Jin was discussing its threat, Lei Juekun thought that Princess Jin's main threat was Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, and Ran Feng would not pose a threat to Princess Jin in the short term.

It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, and now Jiang Ran is directing the movie himself, aiming at "Best Partner" in Xinyicheng, on the other hand, Ran Feng began to build his own theater and began to compete with the Golden Princess in the distribution channel, which has essentially begun to threaten the core business of the Golden Princess.

Li Maowen and the others were silent and waited for Lei Juekun to vent for a while before they raised their heads and said, "Now it has become a foregone conclusion that Ran Feng will enter the theater market. Some time ago, Jiang Ran's high-profile boasting of the movie "The True Color of Heroes" is understandable. He is building momentum for the opening of the theater. ”

Chen Meimei said at this time: "Now in this situation, what should we do? Now that Jiang Ran is backed by ATV, he still has a newspaper in his hands, and he has set up his own cinema company, and if he wants to suppress him, let's not talk about the effect, I'm afraid that under his counterattack, we won't feel good." ”

Chen Meimei's words made the office quiet, not to mention that it was okay, and when Jiang Ran's strength was really put on the table now, they found that Jiang Ran had already basically formed the management of his own forces.

In terms of manpower, there are Ran Feng Film Company and ATV TV, and in terms of publicity, the print media "Tian Tian Daily" and "Oriental Charm" magazine, plus the support of Asia Television, but in terms of publicity, Ran Feng is now only slightly worse than Shaw Brothers.

In terms of channels, Ran Feng has always insisted on the film distribution channels established by himself to distribute movies, coupled with the theaters he has established himself, as well as the largest chain video rental store in Hong Kong, it can be said that Ran Feng's current distribution channels are not much worse than that of Princess Jin.

After being silent for a while, Li Maowen said: "Ran Feng is no worse than us in all aspects now, and the only shortcoming is the high-quality film source, in this matter, they want to make up for it in a short time, which is unrealistic." ”

Lei Juekun listened to Li Maowen's explanation, and then asked with some concern: "Is it possible for Jiang Ran to cooperate with Jiahe or Shaw Brothers?" You must know that since the Spring Festival last year, in addition to Jiang Ran's movies, we have been suppressing the two theater chains in several major schedules, and even forced Shao Lao Liu and Zou Wenhuai to start cooperating.

Lei Juekun's worries are justified, after all, since this year, Princess Jin has put too much pressure on the two cinema companies, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

After listening to Lei Juekun's doubts, Li Maowen thought about it seriously, and then said: "There is such a possibility, but I don't think it is very likely, after all, the plate of the Hong Kong film market is so big, and Ran Feng's entry also means that the market share of the original three theaters will be thinned, which is what everyone does not want to see, and now it is just right to take advantage of Ran Feng's unstable foothold to suppress them." ”

Speaking of this, Li Maowen glanced at Lei Juekun, and then said with a smile: "In addition, the old forces have a natural aversion to the new forces that have disturbed the situation, just like the Shaw Brothers and Jiahe suppressed our Golden Princess together. ”

"Ha-ha!" Lei Juekun and the others heard Li Maowen's point of view, glanced at each other, and laughed tacitly.

"Ah Wen, arrange someone to investigate the number and scale of Ran Feng's new theaters, and then say hello to the film companies that have cooperated with us, increase the distribution of the company's films, and add obstacles to Ran Feng's organization of film sources. In addition, it is also necessary to put some pressure on which scattered theaters will increase the cost of Ranfeng's organization of theaters. ”

After laughing for a while, Lei Juekun arranged Li Maowen's follow-up work for Ranfeng Group.

After Ran Feng posted the recruitment information for the theater manager, it was obviously not only the Golden Princess Cinema Company that noticed this matter, on the same day, Golden Harvest also made similar instructions to the Golden Princess, obviously they all wanted to set up more obstacles for Ran Feng in terms of film sources, theater organization and manpower.

Among the three major cinema companies, only Shaw Brothers Films has not had any new actions, which is not to say that Run Run Shaw's response is slow, but because Uncle Shao Liushu has roughly guessed Jiang Ran's motives when Jiang Ran was hyping up "The True Color of Heroes".

It's just that in the past two years, Shaw Brothers Film Company is not as good as before, and it is basically at a disadvantage in the melee of the three major theater chains.

For the three major film companies in Hong Kong, Ranfeng's entry into the cinema market may be regarded as a predator and be suppressed, but for most Hong Kong film companies, the formation of Ranfeng Cinema Line means an opportunity.

On the one hand, these independent film companies have an extra choice when it comes to the release of their films, and on the other hand, it is a good opportunity to become a second new art city if it can be grasped.

However, although these independent film companies are secretly happy about Ran Feng's entry into the theater market, the overt or covert pressure on Golden Harvest and Golden Princess that followed made the company that was still excited and ready to show favor to Ran Feng immediately hide their thoughts in the bottom of their hearts.

After all, in the current situation where the form is still unclear, rashly cooperating with Ran Feng may be caught as a typical example by other cinema companies, and then kill the chickens and monkeys.

Under the pressure of the two major cinema companies, after the release of Ran Feng's recruitment information, it caused a ripple in the Hong Kong film circle, and immediately calmed down, and everyone was waiting for the follow-up actions of Ran Feng's company and its performance in the Spring Festival.

Jiang Ran was not surprised by the suppression of Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, he had already foreseen the difficulties when he decided to build his own theater, and he was even very surprised that the Shaw Brothers did not make a move against Ran Feng.

If Ran Feng wants to set up his own cinema chain, he will inevitably face competition from the three major cinema companies and face the pressure of these three giants in the Hong Kong film industry. Only by surviving this kind of suppression can Ran Feng be born under heavy pressure, shine, truly gain a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry, and determine its right to speak.
