Chapter 90: Planning "Double Cannon"

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and "Five Lucky Stars" has been released for ten days, and the box office has exceeded 12 million. Now everyone thinks of what Chen Jie said at the premiere of the movie. This is the second Hong Kong film to break 20 million at the box office. Now everyone is more concerned about whether "Five Lucky Stars" can break the box office record of 22 million for "Best Partner".

Chen Jie took the script he had written and handed it to Lin Lingdong on this day. After the two discussed the filming of the script, Chen Jie and Lin Lingdong came to a coffee house together. He and Wu Yaohan and Cen Jianxun are better to meet today. The two had just arrived at the coffee house and found that Wu Yaohan and Cen Jianxun had arrived.

"Brother Khan, Brother Xun, you came so early." Chen Jie stepped forward and said.

"It's not okay if you don't do it sooner, I heard Sanmao say that you wrote a script for the two of us!" Wu Yaohan said with a smile.

"Yes, I came today to invite two of you to star in this movie." After Chen Jie finished speaking, he pointed at Lin Lingdong and said, "This is our company's first director, Lin Lingdong." has just returned from further study in Canada, and the film of the two is directed by him. ”

Wu Yaohan and Cen Jianxun shook hands with Lin Lingdong and said hello.

"Applejack, can you show me the script? You must know that now the film company in Xiangjiang has offered a high price to ask for your script! Shum Jianxun said.

"No problem." Chen Jie handed the script to the two and said.

Cen Jianxun took the script and began to read it, but Wu Yaohan didn't read it.

"Brother Khan, don't you read the script first?" Chen Jie asked curiously.

"No, I believe in your screenwriting skills." Wu Yaohan said.

Not long after, Shum Jianxun closed the script and said, "It's a very funny movie, I agreed to star in it." ”

After Wu Yaohan and Cen Jianxun agreed to act, Chen Jie came to Baohe with Lin Lingdong and selected a few actors in Hong's class. After finishing the work, the time had come to one o'clock in the afternoon, and the two had not yet eaten lunch, so they found a restaurant to eat together.

"Applejack, haven't asked you where our company is yet?" Lin Lingdong asked while eating.

"Wherever there is an address, I rented a house. It can be said that there is no one in our company except for you and me now. The device is even more nothing. Chen Jie said.

When Lin Lingdong heard Chen Jie say this, he almost didn't squirt out the food in his mouth.

Chen Jie smiled bitterly when he saw Lin Lingdong's expression and said

"However, our company still has some intangible assets. The registered capital is 10 million, but it took more than 2 million to shoot "Ip Man", and now only more than 7 million remain. The other is the copyright, the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" and the copyright of "Best Partner" are all in my hands, "Best Partner 2" has been started, and I only made a symbolic investment of 550,000. Finally, there is the support of the theater chain. The wrinkled boss of Golden Harvest promised that our movie could be taken to Golden Harvest for release, and the box office was a fifty-fifty dividend. In addition, we can also distribute the distribution channel in Taiwan independently. ”

After listening to Chen Jie's words, Lin Lingdong pondered for a while and said

"Applejack, there are two main things for our company now, one is to quickly build our own team, at least have a complete shooting crew and post-processing team. After that, it's all about finding an office location. In this way, as long as our company's reputation is out, people will naturally come to our company. It's best to hire a professional to manage it, so that there won't be any mess. ”

After listening to Lin Lingdong's words, Chen Jie said, "Then let's find out if there is a suitable place recently." If Brother Dong has any friends who are proficient in the film industry, pull them into the company. ”

"That's fine, but we need to get the fame out first." Lin Lingdong said.

The two chatted while eating, and after eating, the two separated. Chen Jie asked Lin Lingdong to prepare for the crew of "Brave Double Cannon". And he came to Polygram, and after seeing Yang Tianyou, Chen Jie handed over his new song to Yang Tianyou. Some of the songs need to be sung, and these need to be done by Yang Tianyou.

Yang Tianyou saw Chen Jie's sad face, so he asked, "Ajie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, I found a problem today." Chen Jie said.

"What's the problem? Maybe I can help you figure it out! Yang Tianyou said.

"I needed to find a better office for my studio. In addition, I need to find someone who is proficient in management to help me manage the company. That way I can have more energy to do something else. Chen Jie said.

"That's it, I thought it was. Although I can't help you with the management of the film company. But I do know one of a good place to work. But the rent is not cheap. Yang Tianyou said.

"There?" Chen Jie asked.

"Kowloon Commercial Building. It has just been newly built not long ago, but unfortunately the real estate industry is sluggish. So it's still empty. Yang Tianyou said.

Chen Jie became interested after listening to Yang Tianyou's words, and was about to take a look, "Brother Yang, take me to see it." ”

"I said what are you doing in such a hurry, the mansion won't run anywhere." Yang Tianyou said.

Chen Jie hurriedly pulled Yang Tianyou to the Kowloon Commercial Building, and after coming here, Chen Jie found that although the location here was a little biased, the area was definitely large enough. The most important thing is that it is not far from Hong Jinbao's Baohe company, and it is very convenient for Baohe to find someone to help.

Satisfied, Chen Jie directly pulled Yang Tianyou to find the manager of the building, and asked for one of the floors to be used as his company's office address.

With the help of Yang Tianyou, Chen Jie rented the right to use the 11th and 12th floors of the building at a price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars for five years. The contract was signed on the spot.

The next day, Chen Jie found Lin Lingdong and brought Lin Lingdong here. Lin Lingdong was very surprised, he didn't expect that he had just told Chen Jie about the office location yesterday, and today Chen Jie found such a place.

Chen Jie came to Lin Lingdong to ask Lin Lingdong if he had any good decoration opinions, but unfortunately Lin Lingdong was not good at these. Chen Jie is also very helpless, and the memory in his mind is really not about decoration.

If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, Chen Jie directly found the decoration company, told the decoration company according to the model of Baohe Company, and then asked them to help design the decoration.

This busy time was three days, and Chen Jie's concert was getting closer and closer, Chen Jie entrusted all the company's decoration matters to the decoration company, and he didn't worry about it, and put all his thoughts on the concert.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to February 8th, which is very special, it is the Lantern Festival. On this day, the box office of "Five Lucky Stars" exceeded 20 million in 20 days after its release, reaching an astonishing result of 20.84 million. It became the second film in the history of Hong Kong films to exceed 20 million at the box office, and there is only a gap of less than 2 million with "Best Partner" at the top of the list. This day is also the day of Chen Jie's first solo concert.

Chen Jie fulfilled his promise and bought thousands of concert tickets out of his own pocket to give to the fans who helped him shoot "Ip Man". And Chen Jie's good friends also came to cheer for Chen Jie on this day. In addition to Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui, it was difficult for them to come forward to publicly cheer for their friends for special reasons, but they also called Chen Jie to express their blessings. Hong Jinbao took a few people from Wufuxing and several of his brothers and sisters to the scene early to cheer for Chen Jie. Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Yanfa also rushed over, and Wang Jing was even more rare to bring his wife to cheer for Chen Jie. Ren Dahua even came to the scene with his brother to cheer for Chen Jie. Even Mai Jia, Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Baiming and other people who were friends with Chen Jie in the new art city also came to the scene to support Chen Jie.

It was not easy for these people to get together, and they chatted in groups. Only Ren Darong and them have nothing in common, but Hong Jinbao knows Ren Darong's identity and chats with him. Ren Dahua and Zhou Yunfa were originally classmates in the wireless artist training class, and they collaborated in "Ip Man". chatted happily with Zhong Chuhong together. As the director of Shaw Brothers, Wang Jing is idle at home, but he knows several people and joins their chat. Mai Jia and the others also chatted with Wufuxing and a few people.
