Chapter 629: Forget Jet Lag
"So much!" Chen Jie said in surprise after listening to Li Zhipeng's words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Speaking of which, at this time, the movie theaters owned by the largest theater chain in the United States have just exceeded the number of 1,000. If Li Zhipeng really made six or seven hundred movie theaters. Even if the Chinatown Cinema Line is not the top cinema company, it is definitely the first-class pure among the cinema operators. This number is a number that none of Hollywood's eight major studios can ignore.
"I knew you kid would be absolutely surprised, and it was really unexpected for me to achieve such an effect. But to tie these people together, your kid's movie played a very important role, and many people were hesitant after listening to my proposal. But the release of "Rat Guts" during this time made them all change their attention. So to be able to promote cooperation so quickly, you kid is a great contributor to this movie! Li Zhipeng said with a smile.
When Chen Jie heard this, he couldn't help but want to thank little Alain Ryder. Speaking of which, after Alain Ryder Jr. reversed the release times of "Rat's Courage" and "The Terminator", Chen Jie still had some opinions in his heart. On the one hand, I'm afraid it will affect James Cameron, which is a cash cow. Chen Jie doesn't want any surprises to happen to James Cameron. But he didn't expect to help Chen Jie so much.
"Now we're one movie away from making our Chinatown theater famous. In my opinion, even if we will cooperate with the eight major studios in the future, the first film should be a film of our own Chinese. That's why I came to you with Haojie。 While telling you this good news, I also want to ask you if there are any suitable movies on the side of Longteng Pictures in Hong Kong? Li Zhipeng looked at Chen Jie and said.
After listening to Li Zhipeng's words, Chen Jie fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a long time, Chen Jie found that there were really two movies in Longteng Pictures' film library that were very suitable as the opening drama of Chinatown theaters. One is "Baby Zhiduoxing", and the other is "The King of Killers". With the current momentum of "Die Hard", it will definitely be a very good choice to release the movie "King of Killers". After all, both movies are starring Chen Jie, and the fights in "The King of Killers" are indeed more enjoyable than "Mouse Guts". And "Baby Wisdom and Stars" is not to mention. Speaking of which, this movie is a money-grabbing movie. In Chen Jie's memory, there is a global box office of five or six billion US dollars. However, this movie was changed by Chen Jie to a semi-Chinese movie, which may have a certain impact on the box office of the movie, but even if it is discounted, there will be a box office of two or three hundred million!
It's a pity that these two movies also have certain drawbacks, and Chen Jie originally planned to make another American version of "Baby Wisdom and Stars" after a while. In this way, we can maximize the benefits. But if "The King of Killers" is the opening drama of Chinatown theaters, Chen Jie also has to consider the 20th Century Fox side. Whether it is "The Terminator" or "The Love of People and Ghosts", Chen Jie is counting on 20th Century Fox to help distribute these two films to Europe! Although there is now the support of Chinatown Cinemas, there is still no channel for Chen Jie in Europe.
In addition to these two movies, although there are also several wonderful movies in Hong Kong Longteng's film library, it is obviously unrealistic to want to be famous. So Chen Jie had no choice but to choose one of these two movies as the opening drama of Chinatown Cinema. After some careful consideration, Chen Jie finally made up his mind.
"We have a very good movie, and it is not much to use it as the opening drama of Chinatown theaters. However, our scale is still a bit small, so I hope Brother Jie can help contact some other theaters, so as to ensure the income of our movie! Chen Jie said.
"There's no problem with this, if our movie is wonderful, then even if we don't contact other theaters, other theater companies will find them!" Situ Haojie looked at Chen Jie and said。
"Well, in that case, I'll call the Hong Kong side in a moment and ask them to send a copy of the movie as soon as possible. The rest will be left to Brother Jie. After all, it's a brother company, and the cost of issuance is a little discounted. But we can't afford to lose! How to do it, Brother Jie, you can make up your own mind. I just asked," Chen Jie said with a smile, "This is also the first time that our Longteng Pictures has set foot in the distribution industry, and I hope we can become an instant hit." In this way, the follow-up issuance fee alone is enough for us to earn! ”
"Applejack, can you tell us more about the movie?" Li Zhipeng looked at Chen Jie and asked.
"You must be familiar with the movie I am talking about, Brother Zhipeng, it is the "Baby Zhiduoxing" you watched when I first arrived in the United States this time. Even people like Lin Lao, who usually don't watch movies again, can laugh. I'm sure this movie won't disappoint us either! Chen Jie said with a smile.
"That's the movie." Li Zhipeng and Situ Haojie suddenly realized。
Speaking of this movie,Whether it is Li Zhipeng or Situ Haojie, they are very impressed by the movie "Baby Zhiduoxing". Especially Situ Haojie watched this movie at the time, but he was almost out of breath when he laughed。 Although there are no celebrities in this movie, the plot is novel and funny, and the theme is warm. There shouldn't be any problems with the opening drama used to make the Chinatown cinema chain.
After the three chatted together for a while,Li Zhipeng and Situ Haojie left Chen Jie's home。 The two went their separate ways. After the two left, Chen Jie picked up the phone and dialed Chen Baixiang's phone, and after waiting for a long time, Chen Baixiang's angry voice came out of the phone.
"Who is so immoral, and you don't let people sleep in the middle of the night!"
Chen Jie was stunned for a moment after listening to Chen Baixiang's words, and then remembered that he had forgotten about the problem of jet lag, and it should be early in the morning in Hong Kong now. No wonder Chen Baixiang has such a big grievance.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about jet lag. Disturb your rest. Otherwise, I'll hang up first, and I'll call you later! Chen Jie said on the phone.
"Applejack, why did you think to call me?" Chen Baixiang said on the phone after hearing that it was Chen Jie: "It can't be that you kid is deliberately playing a prank." ”
"How can I have that leisure, I really have something to tell you, but I forgot about the jet lag. Why don't you go to sleep first? I'll be calling you in a few hours! ”
