Chapter 110: Cooperate with Baohe

After Chen Jie hung up the phone, he picked up the movie script he had written, rushed out of the house, stopped a taxi, and went straight to Hong Jinbao's Baohe company.

When Chen Jie rushed to Baohe Hong Jinbao's office, he saw that Hong Jinbao had already made a pot of tea, and there were two teacups waiting for him in front of him. Hong Jinbao saw Chen Jie come in, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea into the teacup, and said

"Let's take a sip of tea and rest."

Chen Jie was not polite, sat down in front of Hong Jinbao, picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Brother Sanmao still understands me." ”

Hong Jinbao smiled, also picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Say, what is the matter with coming to me." ”

"I wrote a script, is Brother Sanmao interested in cooperating?" Chen Jie said after putting down the teacup.

Hong Jinbao heard Chen Jie say this, and suddenly became interested: "Where is the script?" Take it out and I'll take a look. ”

Chen Jie looked at Hong Jinbao, picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip of tea, but he didn't want Hong Jinbao to snatch the teacup, glared at him and said, "What kind of tea to drink, hurry up, teach me the script." ”

It's no wonder that Hong Jinbao is so excited, Chen Jie's script is now about to be conveyed outside. His first screenplay "Nightclub" broke the box office record of Hong Kong films. After "Best Partner", "Clever Scheme, Five Lucky Stars" and "Ip Man", which has not yet been offline, the box office is higher than the other. Although Hong Jinbao knows that the box office of Chen Jie's fifth script "Brave Double Cannon" is definitely not as good as "Ip Man", but the investment is only 2 million, and with Hong Jinbao's eyesight, it can still be seen that the box office of this movie is not a problem of more than 10 million. At this time, he had just scraped together money to buy Baohe's shares from Jiahe, and now he didn't have much money in his hand, and he was thinking about opening a play to make a fortune. And at this time, Chen Jie came up with another script to cooperate with him, how could Hong Jinbao not be excited, this is a good opportunity to make money.

Chen Jie looked at Hong Jinbao and smiled helplessly, handed the script he prepared to Hong Jinbao and said, "You can return the teacup to me." ”

Hong Jinbao returned the teacup to Chen Jie and smiled, picked up Chen Jie's script and read it, but as soon as he saw the title, Hong Jinbao's brows furrowed

"Applejack, why isn't it a zombie movie!" Hong Jinbao said

"What's wrong with zombie movies?" Chen Jie asked a little puzzled.

"Zombie movies are about to be filmed. In the past few years, zombie movies were popular, and everyone made zombie movies, but now zombie movies are about to be filmed. Basically, make one and accompany one. Hong Jinbao said.

Chen Jie really didn't know about it, but even if he knew, it didn't matter if Chen Jie made this movie to establish a cooperative relationship with Qiu Degen. And Chen Jie is also very confident in this movie. So he said

"Brother Sanmao, let's read the script first. Maybe you'll change your mind after reading the script! ”

Hong Jinbao listened to Chen Jie's words and began to read the script.

After a while, Hong Jinbao closed the script and said, "The script is indeed wonderful!" ”

"How about Brother Sanmao, are you interested in this movie?" Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao pondered for a while, and said that he still doesn't have much confidence in the zombie film market. However, this script is different from traditional zombie films. Hong Jinbao was also a little hesitant, the key was that he didn't have much money on hand now, and if he lost, it would be enough for him.

Chen Jie seemed to see Hong Jinbao's difficulties and said, "In this way, the total investment of this movie is expected to be about 4 million, I will pay 3 million, and Brother Sanmao will pay 1 million." We advertise an investment of 6 million yuan, how about an equal share of income! ”

"How can I do that, I'm taking advantage of it too much." Hong Jinbao said.

"I need the support of the Hong family class for this movie, so I should use the Hong family class as an investment for Brother Sanmao." Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao thought for a while and said, "Ajie, in fact, there is nothing to invest 2 million to make a movie. But I just recently bought back that half of the shares from Golden Harvest, so I don't really have any money in my hands. If you want to make another movie, I will definitely support it. But I really can't hold the zombie movie. But your script is really wonderful. Makes me want to gamble on it. Well, like you said, I invest a million and I only get 25% of the return. ”

Chen Jie listened to Hong Jinbao's words and said, "In this case, Brother Sanmao can't refuse my kindness, I used to ask Brother Sanmao for help when I encountered difficulties, and this time I will repay Brother Sanmao." ”

Hong Jinbao shirked two more sentences, but Chen Jie insisted on doing so, and had no choice but to accept Chen Jie's kindness.

"Applejack remembered this, when I owe you a favor." Hong Jinbao said.

"Brother Sanmao, where do we need to be so clear between us. If I had to calculate it so clearly, I don't know how much I owe Brother Sanmao now. Chen Jie said with a smile.

Hong Jinbao laughed out loud after listening to Chen Jie's words. After laughing, Hong Jinbao asked with some puzzlement

"Speaking of which, you kid suddenly wants to make a zombie movie, which makes me very puzzled. Tell me how you kid came up with this idea! ”

Chen Jie picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Brother Sanmao, do you know Qiu Degen? ”

Hong Jinbao listened to Chen Jie's words and said after a pause: "That Qiu Degen from Far Eastern Bank! ”

"Yes, that's him. He invited me to dinner a week ago. Told me something that surprised me. Chen Jie said,

"What's the matter?" Hong Jinbao asked curiously.

"Qiu Degen bought Li's TV station and asked me to write a script for him as his first big play after he took over." Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao was also shocked when he heard Chen Jie's answer. The news was so surprising. After picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie and said

"Ajie, you promised Qiu Degen!"

Chen Jie nodded and did not speak. Seeing this, Hong Jinbao asked again

"Then I don't understand, since you promised Qiu Degen, you should write a TV drama script! Why is it that you have written a movie script now? ”

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Hong Jinbao and smiled, and said: "This is one of my thoughts, Brother Sanmao, what effect do you think it will have if movies and TV promote each other?" ”

Hong Jinbao's eyes lit up after listening to Chen Jie's words, he shook the script in his hand, looked at Chen Jie and said, "Do you still have a zombie TV series script!" ”

Chen Jie smiled and nodded. Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie in surprise. Chen Jie's idea was to shock Hong Jinbao too much.

"And the most critical interest of this movie is not to make money, but to befriend Qiu Degen, which will be of great help to our film promotion in the future." Chen Jie said.

"What helps? Applejack, do you even want to advertise movies on TV! Hong Jinbao said curiously.

"Hehe, Brother Sanmao, you're really right." Chen Jie said with a smile.

Hong Jinzhen didn't expect Chen Jie to really think like this, but he didn't expect his game words to be really Chen Jie's thoughts, and looked at Chen Jie in a daze.

"This is one of my ideas, in the future, when we do the post-production of the film, we will cut out a promotional video of about 2 minutes, and briefly introduce our film to the audience, but it will come to an abrupt end when it comes to the excitement. This will make the audience have a feeling of wanting to stop, what to do with this feeling? There is only one way to solve it, go to the cinema and watch a movie. Although it will increase the cost of publicity, it can be found back at the box office. Even more we earn. Chen Jie explained to Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao's eyes lit up after hearing Chen Jie's idea. If Chen Jie's idea can succeed, it will be too beneficial to their film promotion. Especially if they can befriend Qiu Degen, then Qiu Degen will definitely give them some convenience, at least the advertising fee will not be outrageously expensive. In this way, it seems that Chen Jie's movie has to be made even if it doesn't make money. And Chen Jie asked him to cooperate in filming this movie at this time, undoubtedly to help himself curry favor with Qiu Degen, so that Baohe's film promotion will be very convenient in the future. After thinking about it, Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie and said solemnly

"Applejack, I'll direct the movie myself."
