Chapter 289: Hollywood's Reaction

ps: Now there are still twenty-one monthly passes to seventy, and the blood is still not cold. Love burns, this point, as long as everyone works together, it can be easily reached, come on, move forward together!

James's consideration was just an excuse, it was a ploy to get away with it, he didn't want to be too eager, that was something that only hairy lads would do. It's a pity that this ghost guy doesn't understand, Chen Jin, like him, is very determined, of course, this determination is not because he has any confidence in the box office, but because he doesn't care.

Waiting for James to leave, Wang Jing first glanced at Chen Jin, shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't say anything, because it was not easy to say anything at this time, and then looked at Chen Zichen, and first said goodbye with interest.

Chen Jin just smiled, didn't say anything, and didn't keep him, but waited for him to go out, and looked at Chen Zichen with his hands, "You can scold, baby, of course, you can also fight!" ”

Chen Zichen grabbed his hand and bit it hard, leaving a neat row of tooth marks, before he said coquettishly: "Say, give me a reason, anything is fine, but there must be." ”

"Kiss your wife, you seem to have become stupid!" Chen Jin grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and sniffed at her, the fragrance was intoxicating, and muttered: "No matter what, even if it is less than 40 million US dollars, calculated at 10 million US dollars, 30 percent, we also have more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in income, plus the box office in Hong Kong, the break-even is almost the same, more is earned, and I don't care if I earn more or less, and if it is less than 10 million, it actually doesn't mean much to us." ”

"We need to understand the premise that we are not making money through this film, but through this opportunity to understand, judge and confirm something, so we also need to let the world see the hope of making a lot of money."

"Universal didn't refuse, in fact, it shows a certain attitude, at this time, it's time to lure him into the bait, and then, if you think about it, after 40 million US dollars, to 50 million US dollars, 60 million US dollars, how to calculate, with the sharp decrease in percentage, he actually gets much more benefits, unless it goes up to 70 million US dollars, therefore, 40 million, he may work harder."

"Of course, he probably didn't choose this plan, but chose the global plan to ensure that he would get more benefits, but it doesn't matter, he fell for my plan from the beginning, as long as he accepted this gambling agreement, he will naturally work hard to promote this movie, whether it is in the United States or the world, so that the purpose of our desire to promote this movie has been achieved, if it is as high as 70 million or more than 120 million, or less than 40 million or 100 million dollars, how about giving him more benefits, Anyway, we don't want the same as them, do we? ”

Chen Zichen pursed her lips, she had already approved it in her heart, but she didn't spare him, held his head up, and didn't let him bite on his neck, so that she didn't have any thoughts, and when she bit out the mark, she had to change her clothes again, "Liar, this is what you just thought of, otherwise why didn't you tell me before." ”

Chen Jin didn't deny it, and reluctantly bit her mouth, "That's right, I'm really going to grit my teeth and promise him an excessive share of 53% or even 55%, but I didn't expect him to be more greedy than I thought, since that's the case, then it's better to get more exciting, if you want to get more, you have to bear more risks, this is the principle of business investment, right, baby!" ”

Sure enough, as Chen Jin thought, James's side chose the plan of global box office sharing, and under the constraints of the contract, he immediately started global publicity, according to the requirements, the slowest overseas release country cannot be later than the day before Christmas. ..., December 6th, the third day of Chen Jin's return to Hong Kong, "Jedi Men" after more than five months of brewing, finally met with everyone, this is said to have an investment of an astonishing 60 million Hong Kong dollars, aimed at overseas super blockbusters, because of Chen Jin's participation, this more than a month of continuous publicity, and all kinds of gimmicks, in the first time the movie was released, all the tickets in the last three days were sold out.

The premiere was very lively, there were a lot of people coming, and all of them were big names, and the face was enough, but when Chen Jin answered the entertainment reporters' tireless questions about movie evaluation, movie box office, overseas distribution, etc., he used a simple sentence "Wait until you finish watching the movie, and then wait for half a month," He answered everyone's questions perfunctorily, and he didn't want to say more.

At the beginning, the tickets were pre-sold for three days, which is a box office of up to 15 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already a super high record, if the follow-up continues to be vigorous, then 60 or 70 million is no problem, that is to say, this head is not bad, even beyond expectations.

The quality of the box office, a large part of which depends on the media reports, which is the biggest factor that affects and guides the public to go to the cinema to watch the movie.

After watching the movie, the first thing that came to my mind was the word 60 million, obviously, this is a good film, however, I don't think he is much different from other Hong Kong films, except for the Westernized witty dialogue, so I doubt that Chen Jin's 60 million investment will shrink in the end - "Film Weekly"

Although whether it is publicity or positioning, the first protagonist is Chen Jin, but I think it is Zhang Weijian who is more brilliant, his eye-catching performance allows us to see his unimaginable acting skills, and because of him, this movie will be more interesting - "Movie Eye"

I think he is the first young man to really understand the essence of Hollywood, and I am really happy to see this, whether it is from the scenes, dialogues, various behaviors, etc., of course, I have to praise him, he has taken his kung fu to the extreme, and therefore makes the whole movie have an obvious Hong Kong imprint, but it is not too abrupt, and I am looking forward to his next movie - Uncle Zhan

He is still not a director, but he is actually the soul of this movie, from the script to the final editing, in fact, he made the final decision, I don't want to say too much praise language, the only question is, does King Chen really plan to enter Hollywood, if it is true, then, after this success, will we lose him? ——He Zidong, Oriental Daily

60 million, although it is a three-day pre-sale ticket, but he has actually got 15 million in his hands, the world is really crazy, is it really so charming for him to show off his body after opening his shirt, okay, I have to admit it, I drooled when I watched it, but, I have to appeal, ladies, calm down, that can only be watched, not satisfied - "Entertainment Unlimited" Shagang wolf

The bed scene I've been looking forward to for a long time, there is not even a little bit, and the scene where Wang Zuxian shows a pair of beautiful legs is the most exciting, can this also be called a Western film? Despise King Chen, you deceived my feelings - Entertainment Weekly Ke Fan

The next day's media was filled with different opinions, however, it did not say that it was not a good film, the only thing I disagreed with was that I thought it was not worth 60 million Hong Kong dollars, but the audience didn't care about this, in almost all random interviews with viewers who went out of the cinema, 90% of them said that the movie was great and would recommend it to family or friends. …,

A week after its release in Hong Kong, in anticipation of Mr. Chen, Universal Pictures began distributing the film worldwide, the first in North America, but on its first weekend, the film was released in fewer than 150 theaters.

However, the next wonderful thing happened, although the name was not well known, and the global promotion was very powerful, but the time was too short to produce much effect, but that's it, less than 150 theaters were released, but the box office earned more than 4.22 million US dollars.

In other words, the results of a single theater are as high as more than 28,000 US dollars, good guys, this is amazing, and it has barely squeezed into the top 20 of the single theater results in North America, you know, this is a Hong Kong movie, and the most important thing is that now the Christmas schedule is coming, and a lot of films are crowded together.

With such results, Universal was immediately full of confidence, and at the beginning of the second week, the number of theaters released reached 722, and by the weekend of the second week, the box office of the week had accumulated more than $20.33 million.

The weekly box office was 20.33 million US dollars, which broke into the top 10 of the North American box office list in the week before Christmas, ranking ninth, and by this time, the Hong Kong-made film "Jedi Men" finally gained the attention of North American film critics and audiences.

Wonderful and witty dialogue, tight plot, even their expressions and movements have a strong American flavor, if you don't tell me, I really doubt that this is a Hong Kong movie from the Far East, by the way, their action design is wonderful, this is probably their own characteristic - "Hollywood Chronicle"

A movie like "Boom", but with a faster pace and more exciting dialogue, this is really an oriental miracle - "USA Today"

Bringing a new element to the cop genre and rejuvenating it, he boldly explores the moral themes of cinematography and the limits of heat and temperature—The Chicago Sun-Times

The counterattack of Hong Kong movies, two guys with completely different styles, one handsome and jealous, and then he plays with his coquettishness to his heart's content; The other one is so witty, and he also shows his best characteristic, I have to say, these two guys did a good job, and this is also an Asian movie worth spending two hours in the cinema - "Rolling Stone" magazine.

The plot is not leaky, the action design is at its peak, and with the wonderful dialogue and the super big scene with the final finishing touch, this is really a good enough Hong Kong movie, so I have more expectations for Hong Kong movies - "Entertainment Focus"
