Chapter 363: Chen Jie's request
After Chen Jie, Xu Ke and Hong Jinbao had lunch together, Xu Ke and Hong Jinbao did not leave as they did every day, and asked for a pot of tea and began to drink. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info After seeing this, Chen Jie also knew that Xu Ke must have something to say, so he was not in a hurry, drinking tea leisurely, waiting for Xu Ke to speak.
After Xu Ke saw Chen Jie's leisurely appearance, he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he looked at Hong Jinbao. Although there were a lot of conflicts between the two during filming, the relationship between the two was still good in private, and Xu Ke had already told Hong Jinbao about his plans. At this time, Hong Jinbao saw Xu Ke looking at him, and knew that Xu Ke wanted to let him help him tell him about it, after all, there are few people in Hong Kong who don't know about his relationship with Chen Jie. Even if Chen Jie disagrees, for the sake of Hong Jinbao's face, he will not let the relationship between them stiffen.
"Applejack is like this, Xu Lao Wei wants to shoot your "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!" Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie and said.
After Xu Ke heard Hong Jinbao say this sentence for himself, he looked at Chen Jie with anticipation, in fact, he didn't just fall in love with Chen Jie's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Traces of the Sky" and "Zhu Xian" Xu Ke also wanted to shoot, but Xu Ke knew that if Chen Jie wanted so many novel copyrights, Chen Jie would definitely not agree, so after weighing it, Xu Ke thought that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was easier to shoot, after all, there was no big scene! As long as he can make this movie well, Xu Ke is confident that he will win the film copyright of "Traces of Heaven" or "Zhu Xian" in Chen Jie's hands!
After Chen Jie listened to Hong Jinbao's words, he looked at Xu Ke and began to ponder! In his memory, this Xu Ke is indeed very talented, and there is one thing that Chen Jie admires him very much, Xu Ke is very obsessed with making mythological or martial arts movies! even created a new school of martial arts movies. This kind of persistence makes Chen Jie appreciate it very much, but this person's temper is really not good. Especially when making movies, Chen Jie remembered that Xu Ke and Wu Yusen were originally very good friends, but the relationship broke down because of the cooperation between the two in making movies! Wu Yusen has not been in contact with Chen Jie yet, but Xu Ke and Chen Jie have heard Hong Jinbao say that he is simply a tyrant when he is making movies!
"I can give the copyright of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to Director Xu, but I have one request!" Chen Jie pondered for a while and said.
"What requirements?" Xu Ke asked excitedly.
"You can't shoot for 10 years!" Chen Jie said.
"What!" Xu Ke looked at Chen Jie in surprise and asked. Not only Xu Ke, but even Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie with surprise on his face after hearing Chen Jie's request. I don't understand why Chen Jie made such a request since he had already agreed to give the copyright to Xu Ke.
"You can't shoot this movie or TV series for 10 years!" Chen Jie said.
Xu Ke felt a little angry when he heard Chen Jie's words, and he felt that Chen Jie was playing with him. After Hong Jinbao saw Xu Ke's changes on the side, he sent this Xu Lao Wei to get angry, in order not to make the relationship between the two stiff, so Hong Jinbao hurriedly asked, "Ajie, I don't understand why." ”
After Xu Ke listened to Hong Jinbao's words, he forcibly suppressed his anger, he wanted to hear why Chen Jie made such a request, if there was really no reason, he would not give Hong Jinbao face. Chen Jie naturally noticed Xu Ke's changes, but Chen Jie didn't pay much attention to it, and after listening to Hong Jinbao's question, Chen Jie took a sip and said
"Actually, I did it for two reasons! First of all, there is the technical issue! You might think I've made good effects. However, for the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the effect is still much worse! Although I already have some ideas, there is a technical disconnect, and it is impossible to implement it now! The novels I hope will make film and television works that are all classics! It is unsurpassable! At this point, I believe in Director Xu's ability! However, the technical imperfection will drag down the film. So I won't start making these movies until the technology is perfect! ”
After Xu Ke heard Chen Jie say this, the anger in his heart was much less, but he still looked at Chen Jie and said, "Can you perfect the technique you said in ten years?" ”
"All I can say is hope! However, it will definitely be much more perfect than the current technology, and we Huatian Technology also want to invest in some scientific and technological research and development! Chen Jie said.
"Applejack, you said there are two reasons, but what's the second one?" Hong Jinbao asked.
"Benefits, if you shoot "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" now, you won't be able to maximize your benefits!" Chen Jie said, "After all, although the book "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very popular, the limitations are too small, if I have a choice, I will first make comics, and then publish animations and games, and after all these are promoted, it will take a few years, we want to increase the influence of this novel, so that no matter whether we make a movie or a TV series, it will be more expected." And that's when the time to make this film is the most profitable. It's too risky to shoot now! And I, as the author of this book, I don't risk my own work! ”
Xu Ke was in a better mood when he heard Chen Jie say this! In fact, what Chen Jie said is similar to the theory of losing money in "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" expounded by Wrinkle Huai. Although Xu Ke was very unconvinced, he had thought about this aspect behind his back, and to be honest, he himself was not confident that this movie would not lose money, after all, the investment was too big. It's just that he is a little stubborn when he is arrogant. The more difficult it is, the more he wants to try it, which is one of the reasons why he wants to shoot "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Xu Ke wants to prove that his point is right. After hearing Chen Jie say this at this time, although he was still stubborn in his heart, he didn't understand the truth.
"Actually, if Director Xu wants to cooperate with me, I can write a book specifically for Director Xu! And it's definitely a book that can shock the film industry! Chen Jie said with a smile!
"Oh!" Xu Ke looked at Chen Jie with a bright eye and said, "Tell me what you think?" ”
"A literary film!" Chen Jie said with a smile: "A literary film that broke the box office record of Hong Kong literary films!" Hong Kong's first literary film that is expected to hit the box office of 20 million! ”
Xu Ke and Hong Jinbao were shocked when they heard Chen Jie's words, the current Hong Kong literary films are really not very profitable, and most of them are losing money and making money. Even the highest-grossing literary film has a box office of only four or five million. Not to mention hitting the 20 million box office, as long as it can exceed 10 million box office, it will shake the Hong Kong film industry!
"Applejack, you're really not kidding?" Xu Ke looked at Chen Jie and asked.
"Of course, I originally planned to make this movie by myself next year, but suddenly I felt that this movie was more in line with Director Xu's style. If Director Xu agrees, we will hire you to make this movie for us next year! Chen Jie said. (To be continued.) )
