A seven-seater business car drove steadily on the way to the airport. Lighting a cigarette for Jing Jian, Zhang Wulang smiled with a hint of sadness: "Jing Shao, we have learned a lot from coming to Hollywood this time, and thank you for your trust in us." Oh, and thank you for the red envelope. ”

After the finale, Zhang Wulang chose to return to Hong Kong with several martial arts fingers. And when they left, Jing Jian gave a check for $100,000 in advance. Although these people have made a fortune in Jing Jian, they are still the middle and bottom of the Hong Kong film industry. Even if there is a premiere of the movie in the future, they will probably not have time to come to the United States.

Jing Jian comforted: "Fifth brother, there is no feast in the world. Later, I'll go to Hong Kong, let's have another drink. But what are your plans for when you go back?"

"We're looking for investment, and there's a lot of inspiration this time, and I want to take the look myself. In life, there must always be some pursuits. Zhang Wulang replied with a smile, "Actually, I originally wanted to stay in Hollywood and study for a few more years, but I couldn't find someone willing to use our crew." In other respects, Hong Kong has lagged behind. ”

Jing Jian smiled slightly, it is indeed difficult for Zhang Wulang and others to gain a foothold in Hollywood, unless Jing Jian's movies are blockbusters. But before it was released, no one knew the bottom of their hearts. Investing in movies is like this, and even those veterans in the film industry often look away.

"Fifth brother, do you want to be in charge of the camera?" Thinking that the cooperation with Zhang Wulang was quite pleasant, Jing Jian didn't mind helping him, "When you go back to Hong Kong, give me a call, and I will send someone to send 2 million Hong Kong dollars." Is it enough?"

Zhang Wulang was immediately overjoyed: "Enough, Jing Shao, plus our own, it's enough." After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Wulang asked, "Jing Shao, are you interested in investing in Hong Kong films? It's not a compliment, but I think it's going to be a big hit. I believe in your vision. ”

Jing Jian gave a "thank you" look back, understanding Zhang Wulang's thoughts. But he still smiled and declined: "Fifth brother, you should be able to see that I am playing tickets in Hollywood, and I will not put much energy in the future." And I don't have a good relationship with Boss Zou, if it's a joint venture, it will have an impact on you. Later...... Let's see the opportunity!"

"Wow!" the ball boy in the back seat shouted exaggeratedly, "Jing Shao, you are so sharp in playing tickets, if you play really, how can we live?"

"Hahaha!"

......

The airport was full of cars, and when I came back, there were only two left. Ding Sheng decided to stay, and Jing Jian arranged him in Seed Pictures. Although Jing Jian is not ready to develop in the film industry after playing the ticket, he will start filming "Parkour Youth", and there may be some commercials for White Lotus and MTV of seed music in the future, so there is always someone who needs to be responsible.

Glancing at Ding Sheng with a smile, Jing Jian casually tentatively said: "Ah Sheng, you are also an old man in the Hong Kong film industry, do you have any ideas to start filming one yourself?" I can also give you 2 million." ”

Ding Sheng shook his head with a smile, very resolute: "The fifth brother returned to Hong Kong to pursue his dream, and I stayed by Jing Shao's side because I was optimistic about the future." ”

"Oh? Jing Jian suddenly became a little interested in this very diligent and exquisite scene reporter. I don't know what he thinks.

"Jing Shao, it's no wonder I said something wrong. Ding Sheng said, "Actually, there is a sentence I haven't said, Jing Shao, you seem to be too pessimistic." Although the investment in this film is large, it wasted millions before, and when it was filmed, it was ...... Jing Shao, I'll be honest here, what you're pursuing is a brand new kind of action movie, which is really good, but there are too many repeated shots, and time and money are inevitably wasted. I know the reason, it's not your fault, but the preparation is a little too hasty, if you pay attention, you can at least save millions. ”

"Uh-huh. Jing Jian knows what the problem is, just because there is one less good producer. To be honest, Jing Jian, who is also a producer, is very unqualified.

Secretly glanced at Jing Jian's expression and found that he was not angry, Ding Sheng's heart was a lot more settled, and continued: "If it is a mature crew, it can control the cost within 15 million, counting 20% of the publicity and distribution costs of 3 million, it is 18 million." If the North American box office is 40 million, the investment can be recovered, and the overseas box office is generally not less than the North American box office, and the share can get about 10 million. So this movie will not only be a blockbuster, but it will definitely be a big hit!"

"Uh-huh. Jing Jian understood what Ding Sheng meant, that is, the profit from the big sale had been wasted by the overrun of the shooting.

Ding Sheng smiled: "Judging from the books, it may not be more than that, but those people in Hollywood will definitely figure it out." Not to mention anything else, if we make the second part of the series, or if we don't shoot it, use the script as an investment, and find a major studio to cooperate in shooting, CAA doesn't need to shoot it at all. There is also the "Parkour Youth", which I think is also promising. If it's good, I can also be a series. So ......"

"Hahaha!" Jing Jian interrupted with a laugh, "What if the box office fiasco? ”

Ding Sheng is confident: "With the reputation of a Hollywood film company, I will return to Hong Kong and be a cross-river dragon." I judge that in the next few years, the Hong Kong film industry will become more and more prosperous. In fact, the fifth brother is anxious, he should wait for the film to be released. That's when it's time to go back. ”

Ding Sheng's words made Jing Jian look at it with a kind of impress, and his judgment was quite accurate, from the late 80s to the early 90s, Hong Kong movies were really red and purple. Maybe Ding Sheng had already made a lot of preparations for the performance just now, so Jing Jian continued to take the exam: "You are talking about the next few years, so what about the future?"

"Jing Shao, what I said just now was a small fight. It doesn't take much investment from you to make what you have now bring you a steady stream of income. However, the reason why I am optimistic about Hong Kong movies in recent years is mainly because of the film markets in Dongying and Baodao. I'm not very optimistic, the Hong Kong market is too small to control overseas cinema chains. In addition, the reason why Zou Sheng was able to fight with the sixth uncle was also because he had a theater line in his hand. But the cinema chain is in the hands of others? If you want to make a lot of money, you must master your own theater chain. Jing Shao, you have the funds and the mainland background, you can think of a way in this regard. For example, if you can master a pivotal cinema chain in the East, will CAA dare to do this to you?"

Gently patting the steering wheel, Jing Jian smiled happily: "I'm not afraid of my subordinates wanting to come out, and I also like people who are prepared." How big can you be, I'll hold you up to the end!"

"Thank you, Jing Shao!
