Chapter 384: Three Scripts
"It's okay for me to make a movie, but Applejack, you'll have to get me the script ready!" After the three of them laughed, Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie and said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I have three scripts here, I don't know if Brother Sanmao wants to shoot that, or if he has shot them all?" Chen Jie said with a smile.
Hearing Chen Jie say that there are three scripts, not only Hong Jinbao is interested, but even Xu Ke is interested! Some people said before that Chen Jie is the most prolific screenwriter in Hong Kong, which is still controversial, after all, Chen Jie's high output is far ahead of others in the total box office of the movie, not the number of scripts he wrote! And now Xu Ke feels that Chen Jie is really the most prolific screenwriter in Hong Kong! Xu Ke is now very curious about how many scripts Chen Jie has in his hands!
"Applejack and I will talk about these three scripts specifically!" Hong Jinbao said.
"Judging from the current market, these three scripts should not be lower than 20 million box office! One of them can only be filmed in cooperation with Golden Harvest, this movie has the largest investment, but it should be the one with the highest returns! The other one we had to work with New Arts City to shoot, although the box office prospects are not as impressive as the first film, but the investment is much smaller. The last part has the smallest investment, and we can make it independently. And these three movies have one thing in common, Brother Sanmao not only has to be a director, but also one of the leading actors! Chen Jie said with a smile.
"I said Applejack, what are you talking about the script specifically? Obviously it is to whet my appetite! Hong Jinbao scolded with a smile and said, "You kid is getting worse and worse now, and your appetite is all up, so don't sell it, hurry up and say something useful." ”
After Chen Jie heard Hong Jinbao's words, he knew that if he was joking, he would not be able to say that Hong Jinbao would do it. So he smiled and said
"About the film with Golden Harvest, it was my inspiration after seeing "Plan A", Brother Sanmao, you three brothers are so popular together, it's a pity to only make one movie. So I wrote another book, but if you want to shoot this script, it will cost a lot of investment, because this movie is going to Spain to shoot! It is conservatively estimated that it will cost tens of millions of investments! Brother Sanmao, you also know that Brother Long is Jiahe's trump card! So if we want to make this movie, we have to cooperate with Golden Harvest! ”
Hong Jinbao was a little excited when he heard this, the success of "Plan A" made Hong Jinbao see the market potential of this movie, although Cheng Long is now doing publicity in Japan, but so far there has been news that the box office in Japan has exceeded 200 million yen! Although the exchange rate was not very high, the ratio of the yen to the dollar at this time remained at about 200 to 1, while the ratio of the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar was almost 8 to 1. In other words, the ratio between the yen and the Hong Kong dollar is good, it is more than 20 to 1, and the box office of 200 million yen also has an income of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The most important thing is that "Plan A" has just been released! The most important thing is that this movie opened up the Japanese market for Cheng Long and Golden Harvest! The praise in Japan continues! Of course, this borrowed part of the light of "Ip Man", and no one expected that after Chen Jie beat up the people of the Extreme Jarate Club, he would be sought after by the Japanese! The movie "Ip Man" has now reached a total of 2 billion box office in Japan, and many people will still go to the cinema to watch it! This opportunity is to create a miracle in the history of Japanese cinema. It also made many Hong Kong filmmakers begin to pay attention to the Japanese market. In addition, Hong Jinbao and he enjoyed this kind of movie in which the three brothers played the leading roles, so when Chen Jie said this, Hong Jinbao was inevitably a little excited!
"As for the movie that cooperates with Xinyicheng, I told Brother Sanmao before, but I see that you and Mai Guangtou have never made any moves, it would be a pity not to make a movie with such a good theme, especially in next year's film market, "Best Partner" and "Five Lucky Stars" will meet the audience, if this movie can be filmed and meet everyone after these two movies, I think the box office will definitely not be bad!" Chen Jie said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hong Jinbao remembered a proposal made by Chen Jie when the three of them were drinking together at the beginning of the year! Let the teapot and the bald detective be partners! At that time, he and Mai Jia had ideas about this proposal, and even studied it together, and they originally planned to make such a movie! It's a pity that Hong Jinbao is too busy this year. In addition, Mai Jia did not mention this matter to him later, so he forgot about it after a long time. But I didn't expect Chen Jie to remember this incident in his mind! I have to say that if such a movie is really filmed, then next year will be the best time to release it, because "Best Partner" and "Five Lucky Stars", two popular movies, will launch sequels next year. In this way, the film will not have to do much publicity at all and will achieve a good box office.
"As for the third movie, it's a script I wrote for Brother Sanmao. In addition to Brother Sanmao, I will find you an old drama bone to play with you. For the rest, use our rookie actors! The film has the least investment. But filming is really the most time-consuming, because you not only have to be the director, but also the star, and the most important thing is that you have to bring those new people. But it's a drama of a knife and a big tree! If nothing else, it should be able to challenge the box office of 20 million! Chen Jie said.
Hong Jinbao began to ponder after listening to Chen Jie explain the situation of the three scripts in general. To be honest, none of these three movies Hong Jinbao wants to give up, but he really doesn't have much time! Before making this movie, Hong Jinbao still has two movies to make, one is "Rat Guts" starring Chen Jie and Cheng Long together! There is also a sequel to "Five Lucky Stars". After all these two movies are filmed, it is estimated that it will be the middle of the next year. Although the remaining time is enough for Hong Jinbao to shoot three movies, in this case, Baohe will be idle for another year. If you don't start work, you won't have money! If you stay idle all the time, it's not a good thing for Baohe! The reason why no one below said anything gossip this year is because the cooperation with Longteng has made Baohe's people earn a lot, after all, Longteng's habit is to give out red envelopes to the crew when the box office is a big hit. Although there are not many movies, they make no less money than usual. No one is gossiping, but next year it won't be the same if it's idle for a year! But Chen Jie's three scripts make it really difficult for Hong Jinbao to choose! He felt a little reluctant to give up on that! For the first time, Hong Jinbao felt that it was a wrong decision not to merge Baohe into Longteng in the first place! If you do this, at least you don't have to worry about managing the company's affairs, and you don't have to face the difficult multiple-choice question now! (To be continued.) )
