Chapter 291: Do You Dare to Take It All?
Chapter 291: Do you dare to take it all?
ps: Today's old rules, and I'm discounted again, now fifty-four votes, if it reaches eighty monthly passes today, I will be six more than 20,000 words, that is to say, the big guy only needs to vote for twenty-six monthly passes, don't say I'm quoting. Tempting everyone, ok, I'm leading. Tempting, but also encouraging, just twenty-six sheets, it's really like releasing water!
In other words, there are still a lot of book friends who read books, as long as the big guy is a little bit stronger, you and I have a copy, and the uproar will go up, but, don't think about what other people voted for anyway, what if you vote too much, it doesn't matter, a hundred votes today, I will directly go to the ninth watch, how, I'm cruel enough, dear, what about you?
At that time, when Chen Jin gave the book of "Jedi Men" to Mr. He Guanchang, there was a psychology to compensate him, after all, he was a little embarrassed to mess up the "City Hunter" thing.
It's a pity that he said that he would invest 40 million Hong Kong dollars made He Guanchang retreat directly, and he didn't even have the idea of contributing half of each person with Chen Jin, otherwise, as long as he contributed 20 million, even if the final use exceeded the standard, Chen Jin would naturally pay for it.
According to current estimates, it is not a big problem for the global total box office to exceed one billion Hong Kong dollars, and according to the previous VAM agreement signed with Universal, if there is one billion, it will be more than 120 million US dollars, and the final box office score will be as high as 600 million Hong Kong dollars.
The actual investment is just 50 million, but the total income is as much as 600 million Hong Kong dollars, what kind of concept is this, it can make people crazy when you think about it, to say a joke, even if you take a vote to rob the branches and head offices of HSBC in Hong Kong, it is about 600 million.
He Guanchang was the first to step forward and arched his hand first, "Congratulations, Ah King, you can be said to have won this time and raised the prestige of my Hong Kong movies," At the end, he patted Chen Jin on the shoulder, "I didn't expect it, it's really terrifying, now that I think about it, I really can't sleep well." ”
Chen Jin is also a little proud now, although he said that he copied it, but he can copy it, isn't it unique, he still wants to copy all Hollywood, but unfortunately, some of the level is not enough, and some people have already had copyrights, hehe smiled, "It's just a little meaning, Uncle He, take your time." ”
"It's a little funny!" He Guanchang smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, I didn't tell those guys on the board of directors that if I said that I had lost four or five billion Hong Kong dollars out of thin air, they would have eaten me raw." ”
Brother Qiang finally couldn't help but answer at this time, "Speaking of which, we have to blame us for not believing in this guy very much, in fact, what he did along the way is not surprising." ”
Andy Lau climbed Jacky Cheung's shoulder on the side, "It's useless to say anything now, he asked me and Xueyou to invest some money at that time, I think about it now, if I am ruthless and throw away 18 million casually, then I won't make a profit." ”
Jacky Cheung didn't give him face, "Go, you still have 18 million, even if it is 1.8 million at that time, you will feel distressed, I believe in King, but I don't want to invest." This guy is also trying to have a happy mouth, and seeing that he looks like he regrets it when he thinks about it, you know that he is also in pain now.
Chen Zichen was also there, Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin didn't lean towards Chen Jin, more than 20 people sat at the entrance of the hall, Zhang Weixiong and the two brothers stared at the door, and someone called Chen Jin and Chen Zichen to go over to say hello.
The feeling of envy and jealousy is only afraid that everyone present, and it can be seen without concealment, but that is normal, it is really Chen Jin and Jinchen Group who have made a lot of money this time, and they really can't earn it for several years or even a lifetime.
Fa Ge patted Zhang Weijian's shoulder on the other side, "Boy, you are red now, I heard that your worth has risen to the top, and you are directly on par with Hollywood." It is said that the original drama was only three or four hundred thousand, and now it has quietly risen to almost two million, which is close to Andy Lau's grade.
Zhang Weijian learned a lot from Chen Jin, slowly stabilized, and arched his hand, "Brother Fa, don't laugh at me, I rely on the opportunity given to me by Brother King, and I have learned a lot to get a little bit of success." ”
Fa Ge chuckled, patted him on the shoulder to express his appreciation, turned his head and asked Chen Jin, "Ah King, seeing that you are like this, you shouldn't be making pure Hong Kong films anymore, and besides, the film you said before should already have a script, right?" ”
Sister Fang sighed with emotion at this time, "If Ah King doesn't make Hong Kong films, it's a pity for Hong Kong movies," and asked Andy Lau on the side, "He had five of the top ten box office lists last year, right?" ”
Andy Lau counted in his heart and shook his head, "More than that, there are six in total," and then wrenched his fingers, "The Jedi Warriors just now has 66.63 million, ranking first, and then "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" 55.81 million, "The Legend of the Deer and Ding: The Battle of the Imperial City" is 53.63 million, and "The Legend of the Deer and Ding: The Divine Dragon Sect" is 50.76 million, which is the second to the fourth. ”
"Then there is Stephen Chow's "The Judge of the Dead", 49.88 million, "Happy Events" 48.99 million, followed by Ah King and Fa Ge's "Spicy Hand Detective" 48.89 million, and after that, Ah King's "The Supreme Invincible of the Casino Tycoon", 38.6 million, Stephen Chow's "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" 31.51 million, and "Truant Weilong 2" 30.63 million."
The elder brother said in surprise on the side, "Wow, doesn't this mean that the top ten box offices in Hong Kong are all accounted for by Ah King and Stephen Chow." ”
Brother Qiang nodded with a smile on the side, "But Ah Xing's stamina is insufficient, Ah King has already marched into Hollywood, and the first step is very successful." Sister Fang said very fairly, "Even so, Stephen Chow is very powerful." ”
In the original time and space, the Hong Kong entertainment industry in 92 belonged to Stephen Chow, back then, he accounted for seven places on the top ten box office lists, and the top five were also occupied by him alone, and that year, that year, was the famous Stephen Chow year.
Later, although Xing Ye was silent for a short time, he made a comeback and let everyone see his style again with blockbusters such as "Shaolin Football" and "Yangtze River No. 7", and he is also a super star in the film industry who can be on an equal footing with Jackie Chan in Hong Kong.
Chen Jin was thoughtful, but Brother Qiang patted him on the shoulder, "Ah King, I heard that you are going to shoot a big production soon, this time, I can tell you in advance, how much money will be counted as my share." ”
He Guanchang couldn't hold his breath at this time, "Come slowly, Ah King, you have already said that you want to cooperate with me once, the opportunity waits for no one, you can take my old man to heart." ”
Andy is not good at competing with these two, but he is sitting next to Chen Jin, and he has been squeezing his eyebrows, and it is obvious that this one does not want to miss such a good opportunity.
"I will not give up Hong Kong films, this is the glory of our Hong Kong." Chen Jin replied to the question and suddenly said that, and then slowly continued: "However, Hong Kong films are now going downhill, and now we have to go out, and then learn and integrate other people's good things, and then slowly grow ourselves, and finally let Hong Kong films really shine around the world." ”
This is what he really thinks, others can't agree with him or not, and they won't care, but just say it, if there are like-minded people, everyone will slowly get together and work hard, and this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
After speaking, he turned back, "The film that Brother Qiang just said was an idea I had when I started filming "Jedi Men", but I chose "Jedi Men" and put it on hold for the time being, but I didn't mean to give up. ”…,
"To some extent, this also means that in my opinion, the risk index of this movie is higher than that of "Jedi Men", although I think this movie is better than "Jedi Men", if it is recognized, our gains will be more rich For this reason, I have to make it clear to you that risks and opportunities coexist, and if I lose money, I will not bear any responsibility."
He Guanchang first asked, "You should have written the script, can you show me first," Obviously, the old man is not a person who is too impulsive, and he is still very stable in doing things.
Chen Jin nodded, "The script was completed more than a month ago, but I wasn't free at that time, and I wasn't sure about something," and then shrugged regretfully, "I didn't have the script with me, but I can tell you the general situation very quickly." ”
At the beginning, Macaulay and Chris robbed a truck full of bonds and succeeded in obtaining a multimillion-dollar bond from the arms dealer Van Zandt, but the new entrant Wynnegro killed a guard. In order to protect the safety of his group, Macaulay tries to kill Wayne Gro, but he escapes. ”
The relationship that follows is complicated: Officer Hannah, who is in charge of solving the case, is facing another marital crisis; While the police were investigating, Macaulay and others were also planning to sell the stolen bonds back to the original owner, Fan. Zant, but he fell into a pre-set trap, but he was able to escape. ”
"At the same time, Macaulay met Edie, a female designer, and fell in love at first sight, while another Macaulay's partner, Chris, was on the verge of marriage with his wife because of money;"
Later, Hannah investigated and learned that Chris was one of the robbers, and under the surveillance, he knew that their next target was a metal warehouse, but unfortunately, because of a small accident, Hannah still failed to catch Macaulay and his gang.
"However, at this time, Hannah already admired Macaulay a little, and the sympathetic situation made him go to see Macaulay, and then hoped that he would stop, and the scene between the king and the king did not end well, and both of them were stubborn guys, and they were very insistent on their actions."
After that, Macaulay began their final goal, which was to rob the bank, but because of the sudden lack of another guy who was driving, Terry Jo, they had to find another guy, and Tricho had actually coerced Van Zandt and Wayne Gro into telling the plan.
"So, although the bank robbery was successful, when they retreated, they were blocked by Hannah and them, and there was a fierce shootout between the two sides, and the driver who had just been called and another guy named Knight were killed on the spot, and Chris was also injured and escaped with the help of Macaulay."
"In the end, the failed bank robbery led Macaulay to find Terry Joe, and then knew that the whole thing was done by Van Zandt and Wayne Gro, so he found Van Zandt and killed this guy who should have died a long time ago, and then, when he was about to fly to New Zealand with Edie, he learned the whereabouts of Wayne Gro, who had been hiding, and decided to kill him, but, because of this, he went to the point of no return, and finally ended up in the hands of Hanna."
This is just a rough plot, not enough to explain anything, Chen Jin saw that everyone was listening very carefully, and continued, "There are many characters in this movie, and each of them has flesh and blood, and has an independent plot, but it is a complete collection, the transformation of the shots is very fast, but it is very compact, not boring, but evocative everywhere, and, in addition to the vivid plot and wonderful gunfights, this film also has depth, that is, the exploration and display of the inner world of the characters, which is the soul of the film, It is also the biggest source of charm, with it, this is not just a simple police action movie. ”…,
Finally, it is also the focus of investors' attention, "Because the relationship between the characters is complex, there are many scenes, although there are not too many stunts, but my rough budget is 120 million Hong Kong dollars," and shrugged, "As for the box office, I really can't give you any guarantees." ”
Then he turned to He Guanchang, "Uncle He, what do you decide, or do you wait for later?" ”
He Guanchang thought for a while, "I'll vote for forty, and besides, you have to give me the script to ponder it first." ”
He took forty percent at once, and it was not easy for others to do it, but Chen Jin still asked Brother Qiang, "Brother Qiang, what about you?" ”
Brother Qiang glanced at him, He Guanchang has already had a share, he can't also say forty percent, if that's the case, where will Chen Jin go, people have worked hard, let you take advantage of it, and play with a fart, frowned, "Look at the arrangement, I don't have any opinion." ”
He is very good at being a man, so saying this makes Chen Jin owe him a personal favor, and he can have great benefits in the future, but Chen Jin obviously doesn't want to do this, so he smiled and continued: "That's good, Brother Qiang, you can also take forty percent." ”
Then he turned his head and looked at Andy Lau, "Brother Hua, you just take the remaining two percent, it should be no problem, right?" ”
When he said this, Brother Qiang stared at him first, "Slow, such a point, what about you?" A cake is divided into ten parts, after four-four-two, it's not that nothing is left, and he smiled bitterly, "You shouldn't be so stingy and have a temper with us, you just have the final say in this matter, I really don't have anything to ask for." ”
Chen Jin smiled and shook his head, "I definitely didn't mean that, but the cake is so big, since everyone trusts me, I will take it as a thank you for your love this time, and it can be regarded as returning the previous favor." ”
However, he was generous, but people disagreed, and He Guanchang said hesitantly, "Isn't this okay?" This is meaningful, to put it bluntly, if Chen Jin does not participate, they are a little worried.
Brother Qiang and Andy Lau also looked at Chen Jin, obviously meaning the same thing, but they were afraid that saying it would make Chen Jin feel unhappy, it was obvious that they were doubting Chen Jin's character.
But character can't be eaten, and even everyone believes that Chen Jin is not that kind of person, but with a big investment of 120 million, in the end, the person who proposed it and the person in charge did not participate in the benefits, and those who participated did not mutter, that is the ghost, and Chen Jin said at the beginning that he was not sure, and it was very risky.
