"Nightclub" was finally drawn, and the final box office was locked at 18.2 million Hong Kong dollars, which shook the entire Xiangjiang film industry. A low-budget film of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars created more than 70 times the box office revenue, and not only that, but also broke the box office record of Hong Kong films. Chen Jie and Wang Jing suddenly became the hottest characters in the Hong Kong film industry.
On the day the movie was drawn, Wang Jing decisively submitted his resignation to Shaw Brothers. It's a pity that it wasn't approved. I don't know if I discovered Wang Jing's talent or in order not to be ridiculed by public opinion. In short, the Shaw family did not let Wang Jing leave. Even if Wang Jing stays at home every day now, he doesn't go to work at all, and he doesn't dismiss Wang Jing.
On the second day of painting "Nightclub", Fu Wenhuai gave the Hong Kong box office dividends to Chen Jie. On the day Chen Jie got the money, he originally wanted to have a celebration banquet. But after calling Liu Dehua and a few people, he knew that it was not easy for them to come forward now, so he had to dispel this idea. In the end, only Chen Jie and Wang Jing came to the night bar for the so-called celebration banquet.
"Brother Xiang heard that you have been so idle lately!" Chen Jie said jokingly.
"There's no way, I didn't approve my resignation, so I had to slack off and hope they fired me." Wang Jing said with a smile.
"Brother Xiang, why do you suddenly want to resign?" Chen Jie asked.
"Didn't you say it last time, I thought about it, as your good brother, how can I watch you alone and have no chance, so I resigned to help you!" Wang Jing said solemnly.
Chen Jie looked at Wang Jing's appearance, and couldn't help laughing after thinking of what he heard: "Brother Xiang, I can't see that my acting skills have risen a lot in a few days, I was almost deceived by you." ”
"What I said is true." Wang Jing said.
"Yes, how did I hear that Shaw Brothers gave you 250,000 yuan to make a movie, and also required that the box office must exceed 10 million before you resigned?" Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Who slandered me so much, let me know that I am not finished with him. I'm really afraid that you will struggle alone and be lonely, so I will resign to accompany you. Wang Jing said.
"Really?" Chen Jie looked at Wang Jing with a wicked smile, Wang Jing was a little hairy by him and said, "Really, but there are also reasons for that." ”
"What kind of reason?" Chen Jie looked at Wang Jing with a wicked smile and said.
"That's what you said." Wang Jing said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, Brother Xiang won't tease you, this is for you." As he spoke, Chen Jie took out a check from his arms and handed it to Wang Jing.
Wang Jing took it, looked at the numbers on it, and couldn't help exclaiming, "200,000." ”
"It's not too little." Chen Jie said.
"No, no, no." Wang Jing hurriedly put the check into his pocket and said.
At this time, the remuneration ratio of directors of Hong Kong films was not high, and Wang Jing knew that the box office of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" was more than 5 million, so he gave him a reward of about 10,000 yuan. This also has something to do with Shaw's stinginess.
"Applejack, you're so generous." Wang Jing said.
"Actually, it's not much, Brother Xiang, you are both the director and the starring, everyone didn't ask for a salary at the time, and now that the movie is a big hit, I can't lose everyone." Chen Jie said.
"It's still Ajie, you're righteous." Wang Jing said, carrying a check of 200,000 yuan in his pocket, Wang Jing was very happy at this time.
"Hehe, what makes you so happy?" At this time, Li Feng walked over and said.
"Of course, our movie is a big hit, Brother Feng, you won't know it. Our film has broken the box office record in Hong Kong. Wang Jing said.
Because of Chen Jie's relationship, Wang Jing often comes to the night bar, and he has long been familiar with Li Feng.
"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated Applejack yet!" Li Feng said.
"Brother Feng is polite, what do we have to do with it. No need to be so polite. Chen Jie said.
Li Feng sat down and chatted with the two for a while, and then said, "Ajie Wireless, you don't have to go there, do you have any plans recently?" ”
"Brother Feng, don't you know, Ajie wants to open a film company and be her own boss." Wang Jing said.
After listening to Wang Jing's words, Li Feng looked at Chen Jie in surprise and asked, "Really?" ”
"Well, I'll register tomorrow, but the film company won't do anything in a short time!" Chen Jie said.
"Why?" Wang Jing asked puzzled.
"We don't have anything, so what is making a movie? Not to mention that your contract with Shaw Brothers has not been terminated, even if our company is terminated, now as long as you and me, if you want to make a movie, you must at least have your own crew! Chen Jie said.
After listening to Chen Jie's words, Wang Jing said a little depressedly, "Then we might as well not register first, there must be an office location for registration, and in our current situation, there is no need to give rent to others in vain." ”
Chen Jie also pondered after listening to Wang Jing's words.
"I have a solution." Li Feng said. Chen Jie and Wang Jing looked at Li Feng in surprise.
"Although it is stipulated that each registered company must have its own office location, there is no requirement that it must be an office building. You can rent a private house as an office space. Not to mention that it is cheap, it will be convenient for the company to move in the future. Li Feng said.
Chen Jie thought about it for a while and found that there were clear regulations on the office location of the registered company. So he thought gratefully, Li Feng thanked him, "Brother Feng, thank you so much." ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that you didn't react for a while." Li Feng said.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Wang Jing was probably happier because he got the dividend today, and he was going to be happy with Chen Jie and Li Feng. Chen Jie looked at Wang Jing's smiling appearance and knew that he was not going to a good place. found an excuse to throw Wang Jing to Li Feng, and ran away first.
The next day, Chen Jie worked hard for a day, and finally registered the film company. For the next period of time, Chen Jie has been thinking about what movie he should make, and he has written three or four scripts, but he finds that he can't make anything with his current situation. This made Chen Jie depressed.
Chen Jie, who has been staying at home for almost a week, finally went out today, because today is the premiere of "The Loser". Chen Jie had already agreed to Hong Jinbao to participate in the premiere of "The Loser".
After Chen Jie stopped a taxi and came to the theater, he saw Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao greeting guests, Chen Jie wanted to go up and say hello and sneak into the screening hall. was caught by Hong Jinbao and took him aside.
"Brother Sanmao, what are you doing here? You don't greet guests anymore. Chen Jie asked.
"There's Ah Zhen here, don't worry about me, I'll introduce you to a few people." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Jie to a small group of people.
Chen Jie looked at these people, not to mention that he really knew them all.
"I'll introduce you to the shout, this is the screenwriter of our movie, I'm sure everyone will be familiar with him. This kid has been a regular on the newspaper news lately. Hong Jinbao said to a few people.
"Just call me Applejack." Chen Jie said.
"Ajie, I'll introduce them to you, this is this" Hong Jinbao was about to introduce him, but was interrupted by Chen Jie. Pushed Hong Jinbao into the middle of those people, and said with a smile: "Just make up the Five Lucky Stars." ”
After several people saw Chen Jie's actions, they couldn't help laughing. Hong Jinbao smiled even more happily. Thinking that Chen Jie feels the same as himself, he can't help but be more confident in this play.
"Let me introduce you well, this is Wu Yaohan, who plays the exhaust pipe in the play, this is Qin Xianglin who plays Vaseline in the play, this is Feng Zufan who plays Lanx, and this is my good partner Cen Jianxun who plays curly. Plus I play the teapot myself. Hong Jinbao said confidently.
"And what about the curly-haired sister?" Chen Jie asked.
"Curly-haired sister, I plan to find Zhong Chuhong, but she is still in Taiwan now, and she will not be back in a few days." Hong Jinbao said.
"When is Brother Sanmao going to turn on?" Chen Jie asked.
"Five days from now, don't forget it then!" Hong Jinbao said.
"Don't worry! I won't. Chen Jie said.
After chatting with a few people for a while, Chen Jie found that these people were not only in the movie, but also funny in reality.
The premiere of "The Loser" was a success. After the premiere, Chen Jie was dragged by Hong Jinbao to celebrate with them, and then Chen Jie found out how good these people could drink, and Chen Jie, who drank in the end, didn't even go home, and he got up in the hotel room the next day.
