After the press conference, Wrinkle Huai proposed that everyone have lunch together, and Chen Jie and Zhao Yuzhi did not refuse! You must know that with the status of Wrinkle Huai in Hong Kong, you can invite them to lunch, which is the envy of many colleagues in the entertainment industry!

"Applejack, what are your plans for the near future? Really don't you think about showing your face on our "New Shu Mountain Swordsman"? After a few people finished eating, Wrinkle Huai poured himself a cup of tea and said.

"No, there are still a lot of things around me! In addition to making a movie with Honggu, he also wants to set up a technology company. This tech company can only survive by doing some special effects in the short term! When the time comes, Uncle Huai will have to patronize more! Chen Jie said with a smile.

After listening to Chen Jie's words, Wrinkle Huai remembered the special effects shot in "Mr. Zombie" that surprised him! said to Chen Jie with a smile

"Of course, but you'll have to give me a little cheaper old man! Don't die like those gringos and ask for money! Wrinkle said.

"Golden Harvest's movies are all 20% off! It's all right! Chen Jie said with a smile.

Wrinkle Huai smiled and said, "Then we'll settle it!" It's a pity that you kid can't star in "New Shushan Swordsman", otherwise I would be more confident that this movie will be released in the United States! ”

Chen Jie glanced at Wrinkle Huai and pondered. Frankly speaking, Chen Jie understands this movie best! Golden Harvest almost didn't die because of this movie! invested tens of millions, and the box office was only 15 million, and tens of millions were lost in an instant! Chen Jie was wondering if he should talk to Wrinkles about it! After all, Wrinkle Huai has always taken good care of him!

"Applejack, what do you want?" Hong Jinbao saw that Chen Jie was pondering, so he asked.

After hearing Hong Jinbao's question, Chen Jie came back to his senses, glanced at Hong Jinbao, then looked at Wrinkle Huai, and said, "There is something I don't know whether to tell Uncle Huai or not, I'm afraid that saying it will make Uncle Huai unhappy!" But Uncle Huai has always taken good care of me, and I feel a little sorry for Uncle Huai! ”

Wrinkle Huai was first surprised when he heard Chen Jie's words, and then looked at Chen Jie very seriously and said

"Applejack, I've always treated you as my back, if you have anything to say, just say it! I won't blame you even if you're wrong. ”

After hearing Wrinkle Huai say this, Chen Jie looked at Wrinkle Huai and then at Hong Jinbao, and after seeing that Hong Jinbao also nodded slightly to himself, Chen Jie said

"Then I'll say it, if it's not right, Uncle Huai, you can forgive me!"

"Ajie, don't sell it, don't worry about it!" Wrinkle said.

Chen Jie took a deep breath and said to Wrinkle Huai

"Uncle Huai, I'm not optimistic about the movie "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" that you are going to make, I feel that this movie of Golden Harvest may accompany money!"

Wrinkled Huai was also shocked when he heard Chen Jie say this! You must know that the movie "Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" Golden Harvest has made great efforts. It not only brings together the most well-known movie stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan! also invited Tsui Hark to be the director! You must know that Tsui Hark is also one of the top directors in the New Wave! The most important thing is to invite Industrial Light & Magic to make special effects for this movie! And ILM has already agreed! Wrinkle Huai is still counting on this movie to allow Golden Harvest to open up the international market! Now the movie is fully prepared and will start soon! At this time, Chen Jie said that this movie may lose money, how can he not shock Wrinkles. You must know that this money is not a small amount of money if you accompany it! That's tens of millions!

"Applejack, why do you say that? You must know that our movie has gathered many of the most well-known movie stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan! We also invited Industrial Light & Magic to help us do special effects! Not to mention, the script is based on the novel of the owner of the Huanzhu Building! Why do you feel like this movie is going to lose money? Wrinkle asked.

"Uncle Huai's point of view that he should succeed is the reason for the failure in my opinion!" Chen Jie said.

"What!" Wrinkle said in surprise.

"There are too many movie stars, so the audience can't tell who is the protagonist, in other words, the theme is not prominent! And it will also increase the cost of salary, which is one of them! Chen Jie said.

Wrinkle Huai was shocked after listening to Chen Jie's words! This was something he had never imagined! But he didn't let Chen Jie stop, but said, "Ajie, you go on!" ”

"And Uncle Huai invited Industrial Light & Magic to do special effects, although it will make the movie look good! But the expenses are absolutely staggering! And I'm curious if these foreigners can understand what the concept of Xianxia novels is! If the theme of Xianxia is made into a science fiction theme, I have to say that it will lose the attention of many original readers! Chen Jie said.

This is also something that Wrinkle Huai did not expect, he only thought that ILM is now the best special effects production team in the world! At this moment, hearing Chen Jie mention this point, he couldn't help but nodded! Chen Jie nodded when he saw Wrinkle Huai and continued

"Finally, let's talk about the script! Uncle Huai knows that I also write novels, and even more so scripts. I have to say that there is still a difference between the novel and the script, but as far as the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the owner of the Pearl House is concerned, I also like to read it, and my "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the inspiration after reading this book. But I have to say that this novel really doesn't lend itself to being made into a movie! The oriental elements in this novel are so strong! If you want to look good, this novel must not only have a certain foundation for oriental culture! What's more, you also have to have a certain understanding of some myths and legends! This novel is a novel that has a certain audience even among the Chinese! I really think it's too risky for you to bring this novel to the screen! ”

After Chen Jie finished speaking, he quietly looked at Wrinkled Huai. At this time, Wrinkled Huai has fallen into deep thought! I have to say what Chen Jie said, and the wrinkles and Huai listened to it! He now felt that it was indeed them who had thought about it at the time, or it was too simple! Although Wrinkle Huai admitted that the three points Chen Jie said were reasonable, it made him even more embarrassed! He really has a feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger now, and "Xinshu Mountain Swordsman" has now reached the point where he is not afraid. Not to mention that the actors' salaries have already been given, it would be impossible to go back! Besides, even if he can really come back, Wrinkle Huai won't want it. Golden Harvest can't afford to lose that person! And the U.S. side is also in touch. It won't be long before the people of ILM are coming! What makes Wrinkles the most depressing is that he can't even change the movie. Before going to the United States, Wrinkle Huai publicly expressed with the media about "New Shu Mountain Swordsman". At that time, watching the translation of the public made him happy for a long time!

Now Golden Harvest is in a dilemma! Shoot it and you're definitely losing money! If you don't shoot it, the loss of Jiahe will be even greater, and the loss of reputation can't be bought back with money.

Wrinkles thought about it for a while. sighed and said to Chen Jie, "Ajie, I have to admit that what you said is indeed very reasonable, and it was indeed these things that I ignored at the beginning!" But now if the movie is not made, Golden Harvest will not lose money! There will be a loss of reputation and credit! So even if it's a loss of money, now we have to bear it! ”

Chen Jie didn't expect such a result, and couldn't help but blame himself and said, "It's all my fault, if I had said these words to Uncle Huai earlier, it might not have been such a result!" ”

Wrinkled Huai was quite emotional when he saw Chen Jie like this! I have to say that he has always supported Chen Jie's decision, and it is not wrong!

"Applejack, I don't blame you for this, I didn't think it through enough!" Wrinkle said.

"Uncle Huai, isn't there any remedy?" Hong Jinbao asked.

In his opinion, he still has a very close relationship with Golden Harvest, and he doesn't want Golden Harvest to lose money! And Golden Harvest does take good care of him! But as far as gratitude is concerned, Hong Jinbao doesn't want Golden Harvest to lose money!

"How can I remedy it? Not to mention anything else, it cost no less than 30 million Hong Kong dollars for the American Industrial Light & Magic to invite them over! If it is said that the movie is not filmed at this time, the reputation loss suffered by Golden Harvest will be much greater than that of this movie! Wrinkle said helplessly!

After Wrinkle Huai finished speaking, the dining table fell silent for a while! Hong Jinbao was thinking about whether there was any way to change this status quo, Wrinkle Huai was also thinking about whether he could reduce some of his losses, and Chen Jie was thinking about how to recover his losses as much as possible! Zhao Yuzhi didn't think about anything, in his opinion, there was nothing that Chen Jie couldn't do! It's not her turn to worry about these things at all! (To be continued.) )
