The release of the box office also shocked too many people, and the title of miracle director that the media had previously given Chen Tian seemed to be more solid all of a sudden.

And the "Hollywood Reporter" commented in the newspaper: "After 30 years of anticipation, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was released, and it once again made us nostalgic for the 74th edition, and its remake is like the most ironic funny."

Of course, it can still bring many people into the theater, but definitely not because it is good, but because we have too many people who remember him 30 years ago.

The $60 million investment in "Runaway Jury" is like a miracle for director Justin Chen, which is actually a good film, but so good that it is mediocre.

Out of the storm "Fruit Hard Candy" is still obsessive, seemingly bland but sees through human nature, Justin Chen is still rich in our reputation at a small cost. ”

With the increase of Chen Tian's exposure in the newspaper, he was not taken seriously by reporters, and he was occasionally watched by the paparazzi.

Chen Tian was about to go to Wen Ziren's "Chainsaw" crew, and seven or eight reporters surrounded him just after leaving the house.

"Justin, can you tell us about you and Jessica Alba, is it just a partnership?"

"Justin, what are your expectations for the big hit of "Hard Candy" below?"

"Jessica Alba said she's going to star in your new movie, can you tell me what the movie is, the one with Fox?"

"Is Scarlett Johansson mad at this? Are you really not related to Jessica Alba?"

……

The sudden appearance of the reporters caught Chen Tian a little off guard, and this was the first time he felt the enthusiasm of reporters after the New York Film Festival.

"Justin. You and Scarlett have been separated. Is it because your feelings don't match? Why don't you build a love nest together?"

"What is your relationship with Anne Hathaway? Is it also a collaboration?"

Seeing that Chen Tian didn't speak, several reporters approached step by step.

Chen Tian waved his hand helplessly, the number of times he dealt with reporters was really limited, but he also knew what to say and what not to say, and what should be slightly revealed for reporters to associate.

"I've only met Jessica once, but I think she's the right fit to star in my film, and I'm not going to reveal which one it is.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed, and my love life is stable and I don't have any problems. Chen Tian waved his hand. Walk past a couple of reporters.

"Justin, which movie is it!"

"Did you and Jessica really see each other?"

Letting the reporters behind him shout, Chen Tian got in the car and drove away directly.

When Chen Tian came to the crew of "Chainsaw", Wen Ziren was sitting behind the monitor, and the crew was resting.

"Justin, you're here! "Hard Fruit Candy" is a big hit at the box office, congratulations!" Wen Ziren said with a smile.

Wen Ziren was greeting Chen Tian, and David Ellison also came to the crew.

Compared with the crew of "Hard Candy", he obviously prefers the crew of "Chainsaw".

Although the Chainsaw crew is far bloodier than "Hard Candy", the thought of being tricked by her sister Meghan into seeing Jennifer Lawrence castrate Joe Hamm in the first place. David Ellison felt a chill on his lower body.

Moreover, all the killing props of the chainsaw crew have become more refined and real with a wave of David Ellison's hand, which is even more terrifying than the killing props in the original chainsaw that Chen Tian has seen.

"Justin. Thank you for your excellent director. "David Ellison is in a good mood.

Originally, he didn't pay attention to "Hard Fruit Candy" at all, and the small cost didn't have the plane he liked.

When he was released three days last week and saw that the cost of 1 million was exchanged for a box office of 30 million, a huge sense of accomplishment enveloped him from bottom to top.

This made him feel extremely proud, especially when he was praised by his father, which made him more confident in the film and television industry.

He waited for the box office this morning, like everyone else, and although he had a dedicated assistant to report back to him, the previous box office results made him change his mind.

is like a die-hard movie fan who pays attention to the box office, and when he sees that the box office clearly shows 15.65 million.

David Ellison's first thought was that he had made a mistake, and then after carefully confirming it, he jumped excitedly, and the sense of accomplishment was even more complete than it was a week ago.

So he was in a very good mood today, and he felt even more cordial when he saw Chen Tian.

"If you're smiling so happily, you're in a good mood. Chen Tian said with a smile.

"It's not good, it's very good, Justin, and going to you is the right decision for me. ”

A black line appeared on Wen Ziren's head on the side, and at the same time he couldn't help but quip: "David, are you confessing to Justin? Justin won't accept you." ”

David Ellison glared at Wen Ziren, "Justin, I heard that you and Jessica Alba, you?"

Jessica Alba is also the beauty of David Ellison's heart, and he naturally knows a lot about Hollywood if he wants to enter Hollywood.

Although Chen Tian is married, there are too many such situations in Hollywood.

After seeing the report in the newspaper, he couldn't help but gossip a little, but when he said it, he felt that it was inappropriate, after all, this was Chen Tian's privacy.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. David Ellison immediately apologized.

Chen Tian was amused by the contrast between David Ellison: "David, what's not to do, just like the newspaper said Jessica Alba will be the heroine."

It's the one we agreed with Fox, and I've signed a contract with her. ”

In fact, there is no money for the 100 million yuan production agreed to so far.

It's just a script that hasn't been thoroughly perfected, and the script hasn't been registered with the Screenwriters Guild.

David Ellison was actually very anxious about this matter, but he was embarrassed to urge Chen Tian, and now he was relieved to hear Chen Tian say it himself.

"You've signed a contract with her, do you already have a script, is there a ......?"

"Airplane!" Wen Ziren interjected with a smile.

David Ellison seems to have gotten used to being teased, and he doesn't shy away from it, looking at Chen Tian to get an answer.

"Yes. But only helicopters. There is no fighter you want!"

Hear Chen Tian's answer. David Ellison was still a little frustrated: "Helicopters are airplanes.

Justin, what do you need to tell me directly, today or tomorrow I'll get you the money.

As long as our movies can not lose to them, 120 million is not a problem. ”

Thinking of Jessica Alba as the heroine, David Ellison feels that it should not be too bad, of course, he is only judged by his appearance and figure.

During this time, Chen Tian also temporarily forgot about the investment, and after the end of "Buried Alive", Chen Tian got a total of 70 million from sponsorship and Lionsgate.

A few days ago, Chen Tian just spent 15 million with the help of the Ellison brothers and sisters, and then bought a car by himself. Next, it will cost almost 5 million, and there will be 50 million in the hand.

"Super Burger King" and "Hard Fruit Candy" are still early, and Chen Tian's "This Man is from Earth" is ready to be filmed in advance.

However, the cost of this film is not high, so the cost is only $500,000 at most.

Although he has a good relationship with David Ellison, Chen Tian still knows when to distinguish clearly, such as investing now.

For this 100 million yuan work, Chen Tian does not want to fail.

If the Ellison brothers and sisters are allowed to invest in full, then even if Chen Tian fails, Chen Tian will not be under much pressure, and he will still be able to get a lot of money, but Chen Tian does not plan to do this.

Of course, it is not realistic for Chen Tian to want to be a sole proprietorship. If that's the case, Chen Tian will be eliminated from Hollywood sooner or later.

It's impossible for a person to play Hollywood, even if he might come up with about that much money by this time next year.

The chainsaw restarted shooting. Wen Ziren returned to the monitor.

Chen Tian glanced at Wen Ziren and looked at David Ellison: "David, you don't have to rush to give me money.

My specific budget still needs to be decided according to the script, and the script is not yet complete.

In addition, like "Hard Candy", I won't let you take the risk of David's film alone. ”

How could David Ellison not understand what Chen Tian meant, he also knew that Chen Tian made a lot of money with a "Buried Alive".

However, a few days ago, he spent a huge amount of money with Chen Tian, and forty or fifty million may not be enough for publicity in front of a real big production.

If he is allowed to be wholly owned by himself, he is also worried about losing it all.

If it is lost to more than 100 million, it is not a small amount, and now Chen Tianneng can say this, obviously confident in his film.

This also gives David Ellison a little more confidence in this 100 million yuan film that may not be released for a year.

"Of course I understand this, Justin, I'll make up for how much you need, the specific sharing agreement is still in accordance with the rules of "Fruit Hard Candy", and on this basis, Justin, you will take another 10 million director fees. ”

Although the 10 million director fee cannot be compared with a super director, it is also counted among Hollywood directors.

David Ellison naturally knows this price when he enters Hollywood, according to Chen Tian's current worth, the director's fee of 5 million is already the highest level.

Although Chen Tian was branded as a miracle director by the media, Chen Tian did not guide successful cases of commercial blockbusters after all.

The sharing proposal of "Hard Candy" is that Chen Tian, as the screenwriter and director, will take a total of 4% of the film's income after deducting 15% of the distribution fee, and then take away a fixed director fee of 2 million.

In addition to this foundation, he and Chen Tian share according to the specific proportion of investment.

Although this sharing ratio is not top-notch, it is already a first-line level.

I have to say that David Ellison is very good at being a man under the influence of his father Larry Ellison, and Chen Tian has no objection to this.

Chen Tian looked at David Ellison: "David, I, you and then add MGM, although I didn't make an accurate budget.

But according to my current script, we should not be less than 80 million in terms of distribution and publicity costs.

I can come up with almost 40 million, up to 50 million, and then MGM is only responsible for the publicity and distribution costs.

The cost of this part will be almost more than 30 million, so I should have a gap of at least 30 million just to invest in shooting.

If nothing else, David you need to come up with almost 50 million!"

David Ellison shrugged: "No problem, I'll send you money tomorrow." ”

Chen Tian smiled: "I don't have time tomorrow, this matter is not in a hurry, I need to go to Harvard tomorrow." ”

"To Harvard?"

"Yes, looking for actors. ”

The next day, Chen Tian left for the Los Angeles airport early in the morning.

His destination is Harvard University, one of the world's most famous universities, where he will be looking for the actor he needs to play the professor in "This Man Is from Earth".

Christopher Waltz had also been notified by Chen Tian the night before, and he had flown from New York to Boston early in the morning. (To be continued......)
