Chapter 87: It Was an Accident
Lin Lingdong's eyes lit up after listening to Chen Jie's words, these two people are the two funniest in the entire "Five Lucky Stars", thinking that they caught the thief really made Lin Lingdong a little interested, and couldn't help but feel that Chen Jie's grasp of the market is really good.
"What's the name of the movie?" Lin Lingdong asked with some excitement. Although Lin Lingdong is not good at making comedies, he lacks the knowledge that at this time, he should make a movie that Hong Kong audiences love to make his own fame and say anything else.
"The investment of "Brave Double Cannon" is not large, 1.5 million should be able to get it, if Dong Ge agrees to guide, I will contact the main actors and the police station in the next few days. We'll turn it on after the New Year. Chen Jie said.
"Applejack, do you have any requirements for this movie?" Lin Lingdong asked.
"Request?" Chen Jie thought for a while and said, "It's good how funny it is, it's a small-cost production anyway, don't worry about not recovering the cost, the rest is a matter of earning more and earning less." ”
When Lin Lingdong heard that Chen Jie's scale was so relaxed, he felt that joining Chen Jie's film company might really be a wise move.
After everyone chatted for a while, Wang Jing's wife came over to inform everyone that the meal was ready, so that everyone could chat while eating.
After eating at Wang Jing's house, Chen Jie originally wanted to go back. But Lin Lingdong and Du Qifeng pulled him and started chatting. Chen Jie had no choice but to stay and chat with the two for a while.
Just when a few people were chatting, Chen Jie's pager rang. Chen Jie apologized to everyone, took out the pager to see if it was a stranger, okay, picked up Wang Tianlin's phone and called the other party back.
"Hello, I'm the owner of ***, who is looking for me." Chen Jie said.
"Applejack, why don't you say anything about the New Year's Day, give me a call to say goodbye!" Jiang Xiaoyong's voice came out on the phone.
Chen Jie hurriedly said after hearing Jiang Xiaoyong's voice
"Aren't I afraid that the third brother, you will be busy during the day! I was thinking of calling you in the evening to pay my respects. How about the third brother, I've been in good spirits lately. ”
"Thanks to your kid's soothing tea, I've been in a lot better lately." Jiang Xiaoyong said on the phone.
"That's good, I haven't given you a New Year's greeting yet. I wish the third brother a wide range of financial resources and all the best. Chen Jie said.
"Hehe, I haven't seen the noodles and there are no red envelopes for you kid, but I think of something better than red envelopes." Jiang Xiaoyong said.
"What's that?" Chen Jie asked.
"I heard that your kid has registered a film company by himself, and in the future, how about I give you a fifty-fifty dividend when your movie is released in Taiwan!" Jiang Xiaoyong said.
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard Jiang Xiaoyong say this. Asked in disbelief
"Third brother, did you really form a theater by yourself!"
"Well, I've done a survey, what you kid said is right that the total box office of Hong Kong movies is growing every year, especially last year's total box office increased by 30%, this cake is really big. And I found a partner who still has some opinions on movies, and I gave him 20% of the shares, so that I don't have to worry too much about letting him manage it. Jiang Xiaoyong said.
"Who?" Chen Jie asked curiously.
"A guy named Cai Songlin has just set up a company, and I bought his company. and acquired two cinema chains under the name of the Taiwanese government. I'm now the largest cinema operator in Taiwan. Jiang Xiaoyong said.
"Since the third brother is so generous and gives our company such a big discount, I can't help but do nothing, these two people I will help you contact the people of Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng, and strive to establish a long-term cooperative relationship between the two sides." Chen Jie said.
"Then I'm going to thank you, Applejack." Jiang Xiaoyong said.
"We don't need to be so polite between us." Chen Jie said.
"That's right, when you come to Taiwan, I'll take you around Taiwan, and I heard that you're going to have a solo concert. Taiwan has a lot of fans. When are you coming to Taiwan for a concert? Jiang Xiaoyong said.
"I guess it will take a while, I'm too busy now, and I have to start filming a new movie after the concert, but there are only two people in our company now. I'm going to die of sorrow now. Chen Jie said.
"In this case, do you want me to help you find a few talents in Taiwan? You must know that there are many people in Taiwan who want to go to Hong Kong for development. Jiang Xiaoyong said.
Chen Jie's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Xiaoyong say this, and Jiang Xiaoyong's words reminded Chen Jie that there are many talents in Taiwan. Many people are famous in Hong Kong.
"Third brother, when you say this, I really think of a few talents, you can help me ask them if they want to come to Hong Kong for development!" Chen Jie said
"Tell me who you kid has a crush on?" Jiang Xiaoyong asked.
"One is Ke Shouliang, his flying skills are definitely a dozen highlights. The other one is the photographer of last year's "A Day at Sea", if I remember correctly, it should be called Christopher Doyle. If the two of them have any good friends and want to come to Hong Kong for development, they can also come together. I can arrange a place for them to live. Chen Jie said.
"No problem, this little thing is on your third brother, what else do you need to tell me." Jiang Xiaoyong said.
"When I think about it, I will definitely not be polite to you, third brother." Chen Jie said.
The two chatted on the phone for a while, but Wang Jing and the others listened to it with their hearts pounding.
In Chen Jie's words, they can confirm one news, that is, the "third brother" in Chen Jie's mouth has formed a theater chain by himself. It was a shock to them.
Chen Jie chatted with Jiang Xiaoyong for a while and hung up the phone.
"Applejack, who were you talking to on the phone?" Wang Jing asked.
"A friend." Chen Jie said.
Chen Jie's answer made Wang Jing really want to strangle him, so he resisted his impulse and asked
"I listened to you just now, this friend of yours has formed a cinema chain by himself!" Wang Jing asked in surprise.
"yes, what's wrong!" Chen Jie knew what Wang Jing wanted to ask, but he still deliberately teased and said.
"What's wrong, do you know what that means? The cinema chain that your friend has set up is not big, how many movie theaters are there, and where are they located. Wang Jing asked anxiously.
"I heard him say it should be quite big, but I don't know exactly where there are many houses." Chen Jie said nonchalantly.
"You, you" Wang Jing was speechless for a while by Chen Jie.
"Okay, I won't tease you, his theater chain is not in Hong Kong, but in Taiwan." Chen Jie said.
Hearing Chen Jie say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Hong Kong really has a new cinema chain, it will definitely reshuffle the film industry again.
"Damn, I'm excited, I thought it would be of some help to our company." Wang Jing complained.
"Hehe, it's quite helpful. He promised me that in the future, our company's films would be released in Taiwan and the box office would be divided fifty-fifty. Chen Jie said.
"What." Wang Jing and the others shouted in unison.
You must know that the highest share that Hong Kong films can get in Taiwan is only 3.5:6.5, and film companies can only get 3.5 shares, which is still very rare, and most movies are only between 2.5 and 3. Chen Jie's friend directly gave a fifty-fifty percent, which is unprecedented in Hong Kong.
"Isn't it shocking?" Chen Jie said.
The three of them were indeed taken aback by Chen Jie's friend. In contrast, Lin Lingdong was very happy in his heart, and he now felt that he was too wise to agree to join Chen Jie's film company. couldn't help but cast a grateful look at his mentor Wang Tianlin.
Wang Tianlin was much calmer than Du Qifeng and the three of them, looking at Chen Jie and asking
"Applejack, can you tell me who this friend of yours is? Not everyone in Taiwan can casually pull up a cinema line. ”
Chen Jie glanced at Wang Tianlin and said, "Uncle Tianlin, my friend is very special, I can only tell you that his surname is Jiang." Third at home. ”
Lin Lingdong and the others didn't react to who Chen Jie was talking about, but Wang Tianlin reacted, looked at Chen Jie in surprise and said
"How did you get involved with him!"
Chen Jie said with a smile
"It was actually an accident."
