Early the next morning, Chen Jie's pager rang very early, and Chen Jie called back to find that it was Wang Jing, and the fat man was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Applejack, our movie is about to break the record!" Wang Jing said excitedly.
"Brother Xiang calmed down." Chen Jie said.
"Calm down, I can't calm down, there is only a few hundred thousand gaps between our movies and box office records, you hurry up and find a way to stimulate the box office." Wang Jing said excitedly.
"What can I do, I can't force the audience to go to the movies!" Chen Jie said.
"I don't care, you kid must have a way to have a lot of ideas." Wang Jing said.
"I'm dizzy, Brother Xiang, you treat me as a fairy!" Chen Jie complained.
"Although you are not a god, the box office of hundreds of thousands will definitely not be difficult for you." Wang Jing said.
Chen Jie pondered for a while and said, "There is a way, but whether it can be achieved depends on how you operate." Because if this matter is to be exposed, I will definitely hide for a few days. ”
"What's the solution?" Wang Jing asked eagerly.
"You can tell reporters that the total investment in this drama is less than 250,000. Think about it, isn't it a gimmick that a movie with an investment of less than 250,000 Hong Kong dollars is about to break the Hong Kong box office record! Chen Jie said.
The investment in "Nightclub" has always been kept secret from the media, after all, the investment of 250,000 yuan is too small, and a considerable number of people will not spend money to buy tickets to watch this movie if they see such a small investment. But at this time, the box office of "Nightclub" is already very high, and the box office record is only a few hundred thousand. If the exposure cost is obvious hype at this time, even some people who have not seen it will be curious how the cost of 250,000 yuan can create such a high box office. What to do if you're curious? Pay for a ticket to see it.
"That's a good idea, I'll get the news out now." Wang Jing said excitedly.
After speaking, Wang Jing hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Jie to speak, and when Chen Jie called again, the line was busy.
Chen Jie did not continue to call Wang Jingda, but turned on his computer and began to get busy, until the door of Chen Jie's house was opened at noon, and Zhao Yuzhi asked Chen Jie to go over to have lunch together. Seeing Chen Jie sitting in front of the computer and busily asked
"Applejack, what are you up to?"
"I'm writing a script, is Sister Zhi interested in starring me as the heroine of this movie?" Chen Jie said.
"You know my situation, where am I in the mood to take on the show now?" Zhao Yuzhi said.
"Then this script will be filmed after a while, although the heroine does not have many scenes, I feel that no one can play it except Sister Zhi." Chen Jie said.
Chen Jie's words made Zhao Yuzhi a little interested, but she was afraid that she couldn't help but want to take this drama after asking. For a while, I was very conflicted.
Chen Jie saw Zhao Yuzhi's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, Sister Zhi, I'll keep this drama for you, and when you have time, you will act it." ”
Zhao Yuzhi was choked by Chen Jie's words, looked at Chen Jie affectionately and said, "Ajie, thank you." ”
Chen Jie saw Zhao Yuzhi's expression, and the restless feeling in his heart came again, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat first." ”
After speaking, he took Zhao Yuzhi's hand and left his house together.
When the two and Hongzai were having lunch, they happened to see Wang Jing being interviewed on TV, saying that the cost of "Nightclub" was only less than 250,000 Hong Kong dollars. Chen Jie couldn't help but sigh that Wang Jing's movements were really fast.
Early the next morning, major newspapers reported that the cost of "Nightclub" was only 250,000. And this incident caused a sensation in the Hong Kong film industry, and then said that the box office of "Nightclub" yesterday has reached 16.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that the movie "Nightclub" has created more than 60 times the revenue. This is unprecedented in the history of Hong Kong films, and as the screenwriter, star and producer of the film, Chen Jie has once again become the focus of the media. was so frightened that Chen Jie didn't dare to leave the house at all. Nest at home every day.
It wasn't until three days later, two days before the nightclub was painted, that "Nightclub" finally broke the box office record of 17.1 million for "Modern Bodyguard", reaching 17.43 million. Chen Jiecai participated in the finale of "The Loser" at the invitation of Hong Jinbao.
"Ajie, congratulations, your kid's movie broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies, when is there a celebration banquet?" Hong Jinbao said after seeing Chen Jie.
"It's just a fluke, if it weren't for the impact of the public opinion war, it's hard to say whether it would be 10 million." Chen Jie said.
"10 million is not a lot, and your investment in that movie is only 250,000 Hong Kong dollars. Ten million also creates a 40-fold gain. Hong Jinbao said.
"I also want to invest a few million, but I really don't have the money. Don't hide it from Brother Sanmao, the celebration banquet will not be able to invite until Jiahe settles and shares it for me. Chen Jie said.
"Hehe, don't cry poor here with me. I don't know you kid yet, your records are about to sell a million copies, and the movie is also the highest box office now, I dare not say that your kid is worth tens of millions. Hong Jinbao said.
"Although Brother Sanmao is right, I really don't have any money in my hands now, and neither side has given me dividends!" Chen Jie said.
"Would you like to get some emergency from me first?" Hong Jinbao said.
"No, I don't have much money to spend right now. I will definitely not be polite to you when I need to. I haven't wished my eldest brother a big hit. Chen Jie said.
"I'd be happy if you said that, but today I'm really not happy!" Hong Jinbao said.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jie asked.
"You don't know yet, Xinyicheng's "Best Partner" was completed the day before yesterday, and post-production has begun, if you don't know it, my "Loser" may fight with "Best Partner", except for the actors' accidents, the production funds, behind-the-scenes, scripts, and publicity are not comparable. How do you make me happy. Hong Jinbao said.
After listening to Sammo Hung 's words, Chen Jie frowned and said, "Can't you split it?" ”
Hong Jinbao shook his head and said, "It's basically impossible, the only ones that Golden Harvest can take in the summer are "The Loser" and Ah Long's "Senior Brother Out", but Ah Long's side has not finished filming yet. Hong Jinbao said.
"If you can't avoid it, let's face the challenge. I believe that even if Brother Sanmao's drama does not win the new art city, it is definitely not a problem to make money. Chen Jie said.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, when are you going to come and help me? I'm going to set up a crew. Hong Jinbao asked.
"Brother Sanmao is going to start filming "Five Lucky Stars"!" Chen Jie asked.
"Well, Uncle Huai is willing to lend me 3 million first, and then pay it back after the box office statistics of "The Loser" come out. I have a little more here, and it should be about the same! Hong Jinbao said.
"In that case, then I'll learn how to make movies with Brother Sanmao." Chen Jie said.
"That's what you're waiting for." Hong Jinbao said with a smile.
"But there is one thing I want to make clear to Brother Sanmao first." Chen Jie said.
"What's the matter?" Hong Jinbao asked.
"I can work hard with Brother Sanmao, but I don't plan to join Baohe." Chen Jie said.
"Does it make a difference?" Hong Jinbao asked with a frown.
"The difference is that half of Baohe's shares are in the hands of Golden Harvest. I have no problem cooperating with Golden Harvest, but I won't work for Golden Harvest. Chen Jie said.
"Applejack, I don't understand what you mean." Hong Jinbao said.
"Let's put it this way, I have the heart to open my own film company, but I haven't decided when I should open it. If Brother Sanmao is interested, he can participate in a share. Chen Jie said.
Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie in surprise and said, "Ajie, why do you have such an idea?" ”
"Actually, this is the last time Mr. Wrinkle reminded me, after all, I still have a lot of friends on the wireless side, in case they are really blocked by wireless, I have to leave a way for them." Chen Jie said.
"Then why did you refuse last time Uncle Huai offered to support you to start a company?" Hong Jinbao asked.
"Of course I will refuse, I don't want to be a wage earner of Golden Harvest. Besides, I don't know much about filmmaking, so I'll have to talk about it when I can direct the film myself. That's why I want to learn to shoot with Brother Sanmao. How about Brother Sanmao, is he interested? Chen Jie said with a smile.
Hong Jinbao pondered for a while and said, "I'll think about it." ”
