Chapter 15 Chen Jie's English name
Chen Jie's words instantly shocked the three of them, although they had all read the script and knew that "Best Partner" should be good at the box office if it was filmed. But I never thought that I could break the box office record of Hong Kong movies! You must know that the box office record of Hong Kong movies now has a box office of more than 17 million! In their opinion, "Best Partner" can be considered a success if it can reach a box office of 15 million.
"Young man, did you miscalculate! The copyright of a sequel is now estimated at 450,000 Hong Kong dollars! Mai Jia said after coming back to her senses.
"I can't help it. Actually, I still want to have a higher valuation, but I'm afraid that the valuation is too high, so you won't bet with me, so I won't lose a chance to win in vain! Chen Jie said.
"I'm saying you're overvaluing! The copyright of a sequel is not worth such a high price! Mai Jia saw Chen Jie pretending to be stupid and said angrily.
"Isn't it worth it? What if "Best Partner" was the first film in Hong Kong to break 20 million at the box office? Chen Jie said with a smile.
Chen Jie's words shocked the three of them again, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited when they thought that Hong Kong's first movie to break the box office of 20 million came from the hands of a few of them. Looking at Chen Jie, he was wondering how this young man could be so confident!
"Okay Applejack, I'll admit I'm a little excited about what you said. This bet was taken by our new art city. If you really want what you said that "Best Partner" can become the first movie with a box office of 20 million, we will not only give you a 500,000 bet you won, but also give you a big red envelope! Huang Baiming looked at Chen Jie and said.
"Then thank you Brother Ming, when will we sign the contract?" Chen Jie said with a smile.
Mai Jia asked her secretary to bring up the contract. Chen Jie looked at it and found that there was no problem, and then signed his name on it. After signing the contract, Chen Jie was polite to Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei for a while, Chen Jie said goodbye and left, and he still wanted to see Zhao Yuzhi.
"How do you feel about him?" After Chen Jie left, Zeng Zhiwei asked.
"Very arrogant young man!" Mai Jia said.
Whether it is arrogant or not, we have to see if the final box office of "Best Partner" can be as he said! If it's as he says, then this kid is amazing! Anyway, we're not ashamed! Huang Baiming said.
After Huang Baiming finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. As he said, if Chen Jie wins the bet, the honor brought to them by the first 20 million box office movie is far more important than the 500,000 lost to Chen Jie. If Chen Jie loses, they will not only save money to buy Chen Jie's script, but also get the sequel copyright of "Best Partner" for nothing. It's not worth it.
"I'm still a little younger." After laughing, Zeng Zhiwei said
"It's a little younger, but it's very talented, and it's the first time I've seen such a detailed storyboard script. Befriend this person and try to pull him down in our new art city! Huang Baiming said.
"Then we have to take care of it, if we let Sir Shao know that there is such a gold in his training class, he will not let anyone go!" Mai Jia said with a smile.
"Actually, I want to see what Sir Shao's expression will be like when he really doesn't find out and lets him go." Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile.
After listening to Zeng Zhiwei's words, the three of them couldn't help laughing.
After Chen Jie left Xinyi City, it was already more than 4 o'clock. Stopped a taxi and went directly to Zhao Yuzhi's house.
Chen Jie came to Zhao Yuzhi's door, sorted out his clothes and rang the doorbell. After a while, the old woman opened the door and looked at Chen Jie and said
"Who are you?"
"Hello aunt, is this Sister Zhi's house! I'm here to find Sister Zhi! Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Who are you? What's the matter with Ah Zhi? The old woman asked warily.
"You are Sister Zhi's mother! My name is Chen Jie, and I am the younger brother recognized by Sister Zhi. Sister Duomengzhi took care of me, and also borrowed me 2000 Hong Kong dollars for emergency, today I came to pay it off, by the way, thank you Sister Zhi! Chen Jie replied cautiously. I hope to leave a good impression on Zhao's mother.
After listening to Chen Jie's explanation, Zhao's mother let down her guard and welcomed Chen Jie into the house with a smile.
"You're Applejack, come in. Thank you, if it wasn't for saving Ah Zhi, you wouldn't have lost your memory! Mother Zhao said to Chen Jie with a smile.
"Auntie, you say that, I don't even remember that I did this, but I remember that Sister Zhi has been taking care of me since I woke up!" Chen Jie said.
Mother Zhao wanted to say something, but at this time, a little boy ran over and said, "Grandma, Yi Zai is crying again!" ”
After listening to the little boy's words, Zhao's mother said to Chen Jie, "Ajie, you are free." I'm going to see Yi Zai. ”
After Zhao's mother left, Chen Jie looked at the little boy in front of him, who was holding a toy gun and staring at him with big eyes, not to mention how cute it was! Don't think about it, this must be Zhao Yuzhi's eldest son.
"Tell my uncle what's your name? How old is it? Chen Jie squatted down and said to the little boy.
"Mommy told me not to let me talk to strangers!" The little boy Nono said.
"That's it, then you think it's good, you tell your uncle what your name is, how old is it, and your uncle will give you a gift!" Chen Jie shook the tape in his hand and said.
"What is this? Is it delicious? The little boy asked.
"It's not delicious, but you'll definitely like it, it's a video of a cartoon. Cat and Mouse! I don't know if you like it or not? Chen Jie said with a smile.
At this time, the classic anime "Cat and Mouse" is still very popular with children in Xiangjiang.
After listening to Chen Jie's words, the little boy's eyes stared at the video tape in Chen Jie's hand as if they would shine, and he said embarrassedly: "I like it, but Mommy said that you can't accept gifts from strangers casually." ”
"Of course it's not a casual acceptance, you need to tell your uncle what your name is, and how old you are in exchange!" Chen Jie smiled and said to the little boy.
The little boy thought for a moment and said, "It seems so! After that, he looked at Chen Jie cutely and said, "Uncle, my name is Huang Guanghong, and I am four years old." ”
"Hehe, in that case, this set of tapes is for you. Can I call you Hung Tsai? Chen Jie stuffed the tape into Hongzai's hand and said.
Hongzai ended up holding the tape in his arms, threw the toy gun aside, nodded and said, "Mommy usually calls me Hongzai." ”
"Does Hung Boy like Tom or Jerry?" Chen Jie teased Hongzai and said.
"Hong Tsai likes Jerry, Jerry is so smart! Tom is so stupid! Hong Tsai said with a smile.
"That's a coincidence, my uncle's English name is Jerry! And my uncle is also very smart! If you don't believe it, you can rely on your uncle! In order to please Hongzai, Chen Jie shamelessly gave himself an English name.
"Really, then I'll rely on Uncle Jerry" Hongzai asked the question that he felt was difficult and difficult without surprise, but no matter how difficult the question asked by a 4-year-old child, where could it go!
"Uncle Jerry, you're amazing!" Hongzai's eyes lit up and looked at Chen Jie. is about to idolize Chen Jie on the spot.
Chen Jie may feel that he is a little too shameless, so he said, "Hongzai is also very smart!" When Hongzai grows up, he will be smarter than his uncle! ”
"Really? Hongzai seems to be growing up quickly! Hong Tsai said excitedly.
"Of course it's true." Chen Jie touched Hongzai's head and said.
Just when Chen Jie and Xiaohong were chatting happily, Zhao's mother returned to the living room. Seeing that Hongzai was sticking to Chen Jie and talking, he reprimanded, "Hongzai, don't stick to your uncle." ”
Hongzai heard his grandmother's words, and his mouth pursed. It's obviously unhappy.
"Auntie, you misunderstood, it's not that Hongzai is sticking to me to talk, it's me who is sticking to Hongzai to talk. Hong Tsai is very smart, and chatting with Hung Tsai has given me a lot of inspiration! I'm also very happy to chat with Hongzai. Don't blame Hongzai. Chen Jie saw that Hongzai was unhappy and hurriedly helped Hongzai explain.
"Okay, it's grandma who is wrong, grandma apologizes to you! Don't be offended! After listening to Chen Jie's explanation, Mother Zhao saw that Hongzai was still sitting there with his head bowed, and couldn't help but say with some distress.
Hongzai didn't have Zhao's mother, and still sat there by himself.
"What's wrong with Hong Tsai? Grandma apologized to you, why aren't you happy! It's not like I'm still angry with my grandmother! That's not right, good boys shouldn't be like that! Chen Jie pretended to say to Hongzai.
"I'm just a little sad without Uncle Jerry!" Hongzai pouted.
"What's wrong? Tell your uncle about anything sad. Chen Jie said as he hugged Hongzai in his arms.
"Mommy and grandma used to love me. But since I had Yizai, I found that Mommy and Grandma didn't hurt me before! ”
