Chapter 288: Do you dare to play with me?

ps: Now there are forty-one monthly passes, and today to seventy will be more than six chapters and 20,000 words!

The day after Wang Jing was washed, according to rumors, Zhang Xi, the boss of the Raptors Gang, exposed the following Ma Zai on this day, arrested him at a lover in the countryside, and then reported it to his subordinates and the public, and collected a total of dozens of charges, large and small, and directly gave a death sentence.

When cutting with Wang Jing at night, both of them were still feeling that the hearts of these officials were much more ruthless than them, and their methods were much more spicy, which was called a real fatal blow, leaving no room for anything.

Therefore, Chen Jin is very careful next, he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens, he still has the ability to protect himself, but Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin are weak women, if people play yin, he will regret it too late.

Fortunately, Mayor Hou may not be so stingy, of course, it is more likely that he found out Chen Jin's identity and endured this matter for the sake of his future.

At the beginning of December, the filming in Qingdao finally ended, and all that was left was some scenes in Hong Kong, Chen Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and "Jedi Men" also completed all the post-production, ready to pull out for a walk, see if it was a mule or a horse, and make the final identification.

To be honest, Chen Jin thinks that the one he filmed himself is much better than the original, costumes, props, photography, etc., especially the kung fu fight scenes are more than twice as exciting, and the stunts of various drag racing cars have also been sharper, perhaps, the only thing to be tested is the funny skills of him and Zhang Weijian, whether the dialogues between the two of them can be accepted by American and overseas audiences.

As early as early November, when filming was just completed, the first edited trailer was already placed on TV and outdoor TV commercials in Hong Kong, and just before it was finally produced, the second version, the final trailer, began to be broadcast on TV media on December 1.

I didn't see the whole picture, and the media in Hong Kong couldn't make too many comments, but from the trailer of more than two minutes, I can always see something, and it is always not difficult to write something.

It's nondescript, or find another way, bring you an unexpected surprise, I watched the short film very fascinated, and I was very happy, I hope it's the latter! - "Hot Topics of the Week"

King Chen's level seems to have improved again, he began to move closer to Hollywood, in just over two minutes of essence, he showed us enough highlights, racing dialogue, soaring acting, and drag racing, all of which are so wonderful and witty, at this moment, I can't wait - He Zidong of "Oriental Daily".

Well, I admit that an investment of 60 million can at least get a box office of 50 million, but what about the rest. Truth be told, King Chan shows off his figure and charm in the movie, especially when he runs with his whistle shirt open to show his perfect upper body, which is sure to attract those women and some men, but that's 60 million, oh my God! What should I say? - "Entertainment Unlimited" Shagang wolf

It must be said that this is a drama of two men, for the first time, women are actually dispensable, although King Chen still puts his most beloved women in the movie, but that is only a proof of his love, and has nothing to do with the movie. I really want to say that he is going to shoot a Western film, whether there are very exciting scenes in it, I am looking forward to it - "Entertainment Weekly" Ke Fan

Although I can't see much content, the two trailers are exciting and eye-catching enough, and slowly shift the audience's attention to "Jedi Men", and when it is actually released, there will be a trend.

The film will be released soon, and the first thing Chen Jin does now is to accompany Chen Guobao, accompanied by James, the global senior vice president of Universal Pictures, and others to watch the final edited film, of course, Wang Jing and Chen Zichen are also there. …,

After nearly two hours of the movie, Chen Jin really felt very satisfied, he felt that he had done a good job, even Chen Guobao and they were all happy, but only Mr. James and the others had a calm face, and they couldn't see much emotion.

Coming out into the small conference room outside, James still shook hands with Chen Jin and the others very calmly, and said a few good words, but his expression made people feel that it was more polite and perfunctory.

Wang Jing and their hearts tightened first, but when Chen Jin turned around, his demonic six senses made him suddenly see a hint of joy in the eyes of this vice president, although it was well hidden. With the discovery, and looking at several of his entourage, there are some clues, especially under Chen Jin's careful observation, they can't hide it at all.

The next thing is to talk about the details of the distribution, James looked embarrassed, as if he reluctantly agreed to the overseas distribution because of the relationship between Jinchen Group and Universal Music, but he asked for a distribution fee of 60% of the film's revenue.

Nana's, it's really too deceitful, the film distribution system in North America, the distributor only charges 50%, and in Hong Kong, the highest is 53%, even if it is 55%, Chen Jin thought that this was the first time, and it was an old friend of Universal, so he wanted to grit his teeth and agree.

Unexpectedly, these guys are so greedy, since this is the case, the courtesy is still exchanged, and Chen Jin is also open, "Mr. James, if you think that the distribution of this film is difficult, then we can find 21st Century Fox, their business in Asia is doing very well, and we also have an investment film "Farewell My Concubine" is negotiating with them. ”

Looking at James's changed face, Chen Jin sneered in his heart, still faint on the surface, "Mr. James, I think, I have to state one thing, because this film is independently invested by my company, and because the cooperation with your company is very pleasant, I will try to carry out our first cooperation in film, not that no one can cooperate, nor is it praying for anything, I think our relationship is equal." ”

James took a deep breath and smiled, "King, I understand what you mean, it's not that it's difficult to distribute, we still have the ability to do this, but you should know that if the final box office of the film is very poor, Universal said in the early publicity that it will be difficult to recover the cost of distribution, or even lose all of it, I hope you can understand." ”

This is indeed a very legitimate reason, forcibly released, but the final box office is not ideal, and it is not uncommon to lose no pants, but Chen Jin is not in a hurry, hehe smiled, Chen Zichen knew at a glance that this villain had bad intentions again, "Okay, Mr. James, then we will make a very simple agreement, with 40 million US dollars as the standard, if the box office revenue in the United States is between 40 million and 50 million, then, the distribution fee is calculated at 60 percent, if it exceeds 50 million, you can only charge 50 percent, And if it's 60 million dollars, that's 40 percent, and of course, if it's less than 40 million, I'm willing to pay you 70 percent of the issuance fee, what do you think of that idea? ”

When everyone thought he was crazy, he continued: "Or, based on the global box office, the middle line is 100 million US dollars, 100 million US dollars, 70 percent, 110 million, 50 percent, 120 million, 40 percent, and finally 40 percent, how about the final point?" ”

This is equivalent to a very simple commercial gambling agreement, and it is also equivalent to a competitive box office share ratio, which is quite risky for the unknown, and of course, if it wins, the benefits are naturally just as eye-catching.

Chen Jin is actually not sure of anything, but he doesn't care, he just needs Universal to do his best to carry out the distribution work, as a result, he has done his best, whether it is good or not. ..., James was very surprised, he actually liked the movie "Jedi Men" very much, it was very good, whether it was the soaring lines or various fight scenes, drag racing stunts, and even explosion scenes.

Of course, the script is also very good, but what James appreciates most is that this is not a Hong Kong movie that imitates Hollywood and then makes it nondescript, he already has the essence of a Hollywood movie, and can even make the audience forget that this is a movie starring yellow-skinned Asians in a tight plot.

However, appreciate and appreciate, like and like, this is still a Hong Kong movie, with this layer of skin outside, it will lose a lot of audiences, which is determined by the underlying heart of the Yankees, they have a prejudice in their bones, they only like to watch things made by their own people, and other people's movies are really difficult to be recognized.

The box office of $50 million in the United States and $110 million worldwide has a distribution fee of 50 percent, and if not, there is a high distribution fee of 60 percent or even 70 percent.

When James heard this condition, he had actually agreed, which was also determined by his kind of Yankee's heart, and it was hard for him to believe the super high box office results that Chen Jin said, you know, the box office is difficult to obtain even if it is an authentic Hollywood movie.

However, he remained silent, just smiled faintly, "King, have you really thought it through, although I appreciate your adventurous spirit and your self-confidence, but I also have to remind you that sometimes, it's better to be cautious." Of course, he is not kind, but he is just agitating, and he understands very well the unbeatable mentality of today's young people.

Sure enough, Chen Jin obviously "fell for it", smiled and shook his head, "Mr. James, what I need now is your answer, I think, the days around Christmas should be a good time." ”

James didn't say much at this time, stood up, shook hands with Chen Jin with a smile, "Okay, King, let me think about it for a day, and contact the headquarters, we'll see you tomorrow." ”
