"Brought, of course. Chen Kexin immediately took out a script and handed it over, there is no doubt that it is naturally a Chinese script, even if he has a heart, it is impossible to put out a Korean script in such a short time.

"Let me take a look, "Casting a Name"? It sounds like a war and bandit play. Jin Zhongming took the script, sat in the corner and read it alone, even if the rest of the people didn't know the situation, but when they saw that the script was taken out, they also understood that things were already inseparable, so they relaxed and chatted through the translator.

As for Jin Zhongming, he read for more than an hour, and finally, when the café was already full of reporters, Jin Zhongming had no choice but to stop.

"How is it, Mr. Jin, is the script quite satisfactory?" Chen Kexin asked impatiently.

"Very satisfied. Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "But isn't this the stabbing horse case of the Four Strange Cases of the late Qing Dynasty?

"Haha, I'm even more satisfied with Mr. Jin, your Chinese culture is really not covered. Chen Kexin was indeed overjoyed. "This is because our famous Hong Kong director Zhang Che has already made a movie called "Stinging Horse" before, and if you still use this name, it will look like a remake, and I think you can understand this book, we pay more attention to the thing of brotherhood, so I borrowed the saying about the name in the Water Margin. ”

"Brotherhood?" Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment. "There's no truth in this, is there?"

"I'm more satisfied with you!" Chen Kexin was completely excited. "I just want to show that the so-called brotherhood is something built by interests and **, and that's why I'm so anxious to find you, I watched your "Lao Qian". I am fascinated by the struggle and generosity you show in the face of interests and **!"

"I see!" Jin Zhongming nodded. "I didn't have any problems with the script on my side. And I'm also very much looking forward to working with Director Chen, Jet Li, and Andy Lau. At the same time, the whole year of next year is currently empty, and the schedule is naturally no problem. After all, there are so many reporters out there, and we have to give them something to explain. ”

"Still need to explain to reporters?" Although Chen Kexin was overwhelmed by Takeshi Kaneshiro, he also wanted to finalize this matter as soon as possible, but he really didn't expect to give reporters any explanation.

"Director Chan is from Hong Kong, and he probably doesn't understand the situation here in South Korea. Jin Zhongming waved his hand and explained to the other party. "Journalists in Hong Kong inherit British culture, and there are paparazzi everywhere, and they will do everything to take pictures of them. But Korea is very particular here. Candid photography will only appear on fans and their idols, reporters are very reasonable, and correspondingly, we also need to be reasonable with reporters. ”

"I see!" Chen Kexin knew this kind of thing for the first time, after all, he was blind to South Korea. "That's actually no problem, I'm here for you, since you're okay, let's talk about the last thing, and after the negotiation, you will let the agent go back to Hong Kong with me to sign a contract, and start the film as soon as the Chinese New Year next year." That way, you'll be able to explain to the reporters when you get out. ”

"Good!" Jin Zhongming smiled slightly.

The last thing is actually quite simple. But it's absolutely important, and that's the salary. For this kind of commercial blockbuster released together with half Asia. Moreover, the party Jin Zhongming is still transnational cooperation, and this number is absolutely indispensable.

"Let me talk about my thoughts first!" Chen Kexin was about to speak, and Jin Zhongming made a gesture to grab people. "First of all, I want to state that I am not short of money, but I am short of face. This movie is Jet Li, Mr. Andy Lau's film, it's your film, I know it well, and I didn't expect to compete with these two for face, so my salary difference is a lot acceptable for these two. However, it must not be too bad!"

Chen Kexin was embarrassed.

"Director Chen, what's going on? Is what I said unreasonable? Or is my statement insincere?" Jin Zhongming was very dissatisfied when he saw the other party's attitude, and I opened my mouth to make my little brother's position clear when I opened my mouth for a commercial movie, are you still embarrassed?

"Mr. Kim, that's not the case. Chen Ke smiled bitterly. "There is no problem with your statement at all, the problem is that you compare Jet Li and Andy Lau. ”

After being silent for a while, Jin Zhongming spoke again: "What is the difference in value between these two? Isn't this movie produced in Hong Kong and shot in Chinese mainland? You won't give Jet Li's predecessor a Hollywood price, right?"

"I won't hide it from you, I did give Jet Li the price of Hollywood, but I hope Mr. Jin can understand that Mr. Jet Li is indeed a first-class Hollywood top action star now, which is also the source of confidence for us to dare to make a blockbuster with a production cost of 40 million US dollars. Chen Kexin was a little helpless, he had spent a lot of saliva to comfort Andy Lau on this issue, but he didn't expect the third leading actor to care about this issue too.

"How much? I'm one of the three leading actors, at least I'm qualified to know the salaries of a few leading actors, right?" asked Jin Zhongming with a frown.

"100 million!" Chen Kexin didn't want An Shengji next to him to know, even if An Shengji had already sat aside with interest, the salary of more starring commercial movies was a big secret, and under normal circumstances, it would only be known to the producer, director, and several leading actors.

"RMB?" Jin Zhongming was stunned.

"That's right!" Chen Kexin nodded awkwardly.

"What about Andy Lau's predecessors?"

"Sixteen million!" Chen Kexin was even more embarrassed, Jet Li alone took more than one-third of the entire investment, which is really terrifying, but who makes the family a big Hollywood star?

"I guess, 10 million yuan is a threshold, I am very young, I have not won the best actor, even if the director is very optimistic about me, but he will not give me this threshold. So the number you gave me was either six million or eight million, and you can't give a figure like seven million, right?" Jin Zhongming asked coldly.

"Hey, I've got eight million to prepare. Chen Kexin sighed, but still nodded and spread out the cards.

"This is a matter of face, if Mr. Jet Li and Mr. Andy Lau were both 30 million, I would be able to accept 6 million, but now? He is 100 million, I am 8 million!" Jin Zhongming's tone was obviously not good.

"How much does Mr. Jin want? I can accept a certain fluctuation, but I have to give an explanation to the investor. Although Chen Kexin felt a headache, he still did not lose his position, after all, he is a big director, and he still has a basic scene.

"How did Andy Lau's predecessors accept this number?" Jin Zhongming did not offer a direct offer, but asked another question.

"Andy and I have been friends for decades," Chen Kexin explained helplessly.

"Ten million!" Jin Zhongming made a price. "Since the price of Andy Lau's predecessor is 16 million, plus he is my introducer, I can accept 10 million yuan. ”

"10 million~" Chen Kexin actually thinks it is acceptable, but he knows that this is not how the negotiation comes, and the necessary intimidation and refusal are the conventional means.

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to take a stand, Kim Jongming spoke again: "Just when I am a quasi-actor, I have already confirmed two nominations for the actor at the South Korean Blue Dragon Awards in December this year." ”

"I think it's okay!" A man in a suit beside Chen Kexin suddenly spoke, and his tone should be that of an investor. "After all, it is a commercial film, and all aspects of the effect must be considered, if Mr. Kim can really be shortlisted for the Korean actor, then it is no problem to give a value of 10 million. We'll check it out, though. ”

"What to verify? Write it directly in the contract, by the end of this movie next year, the three major film awards will be over, and the shortlisted actor will be 10 million, if you are not shortlisted, you will be 8 million, and if you win the award, you will give me 12 million directly!" Jin Zhongming sneered. "Isn't that okay? Didn't you choose me because I could meet the needs of my performances and take care of the Korean market at the same time?"

"Yes!" the man in the suit nodded, but Chen Kexin next to him had an ugly face.

"Who are you?" Jin Zhongming glanced at the helpless Chen Kexin, turned his head and asked the man in the suit.

This is Mr. Zhang of China Film Group, and he is also the investor consultant of China Film Group in charge of this film. Chen Kexin said helplessly.

"Zhongying. Jin Zhongming nodded with emotion, he understood Chen Kexin's helplessness very well, the investor talking and managing things indiscriminately is the most troublesome for a director, but the director can't afford to offend, and at the same time, as an investor, even if he knows that his management is a negative role, he has to stand up and maintain a sense of existence. However, the other party's attitude seemed to be beneficial to himself, so he didn't care about it, but could only help the other party put pressure on Chen Kexin.

"I, I think it's okay. Chen Kexin was looked at by the consultant surnamed Zhang of China Film and Jin Zhongming, and signing the contract like this did not exceed his psychological expectations, if Jin Zhongming really won an actor before the movie was released, the publicity halo of the three major actors would be worth 12 million.

"Then it's decided!" Kim stood up and shook hands.

"It's decided!" Chen Kexin also adjusted his mood and smiled.

"Mr. Zhang, happy cooperation!" Jin Zhongming stretched out his hand and shook hands with the Chinese film person surnamed Zhang.

"Then let's go out and talk to the reporters?" everything was settled, including contacting the lawyer to follow Zhang Enhe to sign the contract, and explaining carefully to An Shengji, at this time Jin Zhongming was ready to take Chen Kexin out to brag to the reporters.

Jin Zhongming's little abacus is very simple, his cooperation partners are Chen Kexin, Jet Li, and Andy Lau, so this matter will only give him extra points and not subtract points. At the same time, he also poured cold water on the 'Jindong Duel' that was getting hotter and louder to cool down, and of course, it would be better if he could take the opportunity to warn those who almost all looked down on him.

"Okay!" "Okay!" Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Chen Kexin is also mixed, of course he knows what the other party's words mean, the other party as an actor can't run out to blow by himself, I am acting with whomever and whom, and it is his obligation as a director to go out and play actors.
