While the premiere was a success and was broadcast live across the United States via CBS and Fox television, the campaign continued non-stop, with "The Expendables" creators, including Chen Jin, flying from New York to Miami, to Chicago to Los Angeles over the course of two days over the weekend. Next, it's time for the trip abroad, including Hong Kong Island, the United Kingdom, etc.

On the last day of May, the weekend box office has come out, because of the previous premiere event, and because of everyone's hard work in the past two days, the box office of "The Expendables", which was released in 3,000 theaters at the same time, was as high as 106.21 million US dollars in the weekend and three days, and it is said that during these three days, there were almost no empty seats in the theaters.

There is no way to calculate the overseas box office yet, but it is said that the response is very good, and this very good thing comes out of the mouth of Baron William Bing.

Everything was not in vain, whether it was Chen Jin or Stallone, they were all elated, but they were happy, but some people were very unhappy, seeing that May was about to pass, and June was coming, but Chen Jin's script had not yet come out, and Jinchen Group was already preparing, and even many big names had got the script.

Although it is very certain that Chen Jin will eventually come up with the script, no one can guarantee that if Jerry Morgan at the premiere suddenly reached some cooperation with Jinchen Film Group.

Production companies such as Universal, or some of them have a slight relationship with the Morgan Group to which Jerry Morgan belongs, but it is only related, if Jerry Morgan can get more benefits. It's completely self-contained. Or, the illegitimate daughter of the playboy of the Rockefeller family and Chen Jin seem to be very affectionate, and if they can't keep it, Rockefeller and Morgan really swallowed the interests of Jinchen Film Group.

This may not be impossible, and the stakeholders behind the major film groups obviously do not want to see such an outcome, and perhaps, it is necessary to prevent such a situation from happening, because once it does happen. In the end, they seemed to have to pinch their noses and admit it.

Therefore, after the reception of "The Expendables" held at the Los Angeles Grand Theater on the evening of the 30th, Edward and the others approached Chen Jin, and this time he was not subtle, and directly said that he wanted to talk to him about the script.

Fortunately, the playboy readily agreed to their request, but because he was going to fly to Hong Kong Island tomorrow afternoon for publicity, there was only one morning, and this schedule could not be changed. Or rather, he didn't want to change.

agreed, naturally worthy of joy, but the tone was very unkind. It seems that tomorrow's negotiations will be very difficult, and I don't know what Chen Jin will have, or those ghost ideas, so that this night, the five old men had to get together and discuss until the middle of the night before going to sleep. I had to get up early in the morning, but the old guys were probably used to this kind of routine, and when they appeared in the conference room of the Hollywood Golden Morning Film Group, they were all very energetic.

On the last day of May, the playboy who had planned to lie down with a beautiful woman and not go to court early, because these old men were not interested. I had to get up from Kate Beckinsale's bed early, and now I am very unhappy to look at these old men, but the old men do not know that he is for that, and they think that something is wrong with this today--playboy is not an easy guy to get angry about.

There were three other people in the conference room, one Steven Spielberg, one Dennis Zhang, one Chen Zichen, and Steven Spielberg, everyone knew that this kid had shit luck, so many film companies protested and wanted to squeeze into this circle, but in the end, the playboy withstood all the pressure and only let DreamWorks join, which I don't know how many people were red-eyed. …,

But there is no way, there are too many people with Chen Jin's interests now, and there are many big people, how can they - let's just say that the five old guys in front of them, if someone really wants to sabotage the operation of Chen Jin's side, they also have to help, because they also have a lot of interests in it.

However, Dennis Zhang and Chen Zichen appeared at the same time, this is a bad sign, everyone knows that these two people are shrewd characters, although Chen Zichen is a woman, but everyone knows that the operation behind the Jinchen Group is operated by her, not to mention, a woman who has a good relationship with the Roosevelt family and even has a good relationship with the first lady, will it be simple.

The old guys are used to one-on-one with Chen Jin, because although the playboy is smart, he is really a good talker, polite, and generous.

Dennis was there, Chen Jin and Chen Zichen didn't move, let him come to greet him, and this attitude also made the old guys' hearts tighter, but soon, Dennis took each of them a folder, and when they saw the information on it, they forgot everything for a while, and even got excited.

Before they could finish reading, Chen Jin had already knocked on the table and interrupted them a little rudely, "Distinguished gentlemen, I have limited time today, so I will tell you my wishes directly, of course, you prefer to call him a condition. ”

"You have eighteen scripts in your hands, that is to say, each of you can get three, which is better than the treatment in the first half of the year, I am really generous!" Shrugged, but there was no smile on his face, "Of course, I can also make a promise, if any film does not have more than 100 million dollars at the box office, you can come to me!" ”

"As for which one gets which one, wait for you to draw lots to decide, or, if you have any opinions, you can also wait and put them forward," he glanced around, his eyes cold, "However, it's not too late for you to listen to my conditions before sharing the benefits." ”

That means that the conditions can't be negotiated, and the big guys are scattered, Edward first glanced at Chen Jin, and smiled, "Of course, we know that you have always been generous, and we are all very satisfied with everything today, as for your conditions, we naturally will not have an opinion." ”

This old fox is so obedient that he can speak, but I'm afraid that he will be the first to cry out for grievances in a while, but Chen Jin ignored him and continued lightly, "I'm not a greedy guy, but since everyone has shared so many benefits, then, you should also show something." ”

"Everyone, please listen, my conditions are very simple, each of you has three scripts, and I only have three left, and the distribution rights of your scripts are yours, so the three of me, plus the one that was launched before, will be distributed independently by me," Chen Jin said this, everyone was ready to move, but he hadn't finished speaking, "Also, the distribution fee for the films you have the distribution right will be reduced to four or three." ”

"What, four out of three, this is outrageous," Columbia Pictures' Frankie was the first to stand up, with an angry face, "KING, I don't care about the forty-two-percent share you signed with 20th Century Fox before, but with me, it is absolutely impossible to get less than forty-eighty percent of the distribution fee." ”

This old boy seems to be about to fight, but he has actually started to bargain, the first counteroffer is forty out of eight, and the other guy, Paramount's Baker, also snorted coldly, "And your release, KING, you don't have a perfect channel at all, so naturally you can't really complete the global distribution of the movie completely and completely, this time the reason why "The Expendables" is successful, you have to understand that we helped you a lot." ”

This one is even more shameless, if Stallone is here, he will have to slap him in the face.

After listening to the words of the two of them, Chen Jin actually smiled for the first time, and looked at Steven Spielberg with a smile, "Stephen, what about you, do you think my conditions are acceptable to your company?" Steven Spielberg seemed to have colluded with Chen Jin, almost as soon as one of them finished asking, and the other began to answer, "Of course, I think you have been very generous, for that, I am very grateful." ”

To say, Steven Spielberg and Chen Jin really did not collude, but whether it was him or the other two DreamWorks bigwigs, they knew very well what the role they were going to play.

The last time I got the right to cooperate with "Air Force One", there were different opinions outside, and some people even said that Mr. President liked Tom Hanks very much to play that movie, and then, the first lady called Chen Zichen, and Tom Hanks won such an opportunity for DreamWorks by the way.

However, Steven Spielberg knew very well that some of the news was spread by him, and the real reason was that Chen Jin gave DreamWorks a chance for Tom Hanks' sake.

And this time, Chen Jin was able to push everyone else away and let DreamWorks join alone, still giving DreamWorks a chance, this opportunity is to be an undercover agent, to be a traitor, if he can't do it, next year, even in front of him, DreamWorks will be kicked out, and the five old guys here will definitely not hesitate to help push him.

Steven Spielberg is also a genius, but the script in front of him makes him feel like he wants to suffocate, if it is a big film company to come up with so many at once, it is good to say, one person, it is too shocking, not to mention, he also said that he can guarantee that each film will exceed 100 million US dollars. No one doubts this!

Putting aside the shock, Chen Jin was able to treat him and others equally when he was able to do so, and he also gave him three scripts at a time, plus the previous one, as a dream factory that had just started, it was already a year worry-free, so in this case, how could Steven Spielberg not know the choice.

Just like before he came, Steven Spielberg joked with Tom Hanks, he was here to be a subordinate, a thug, and in the future, he would follow the boss of Chen Jin, or rather, DreamWorks would follow the boss of the Jinchen Group.

"good, Stephen, I like your straightforwardness!" Chen Jin smiled and raised the red wine glass in his hand at him, "As a thank you, I will give you the right to choose three of these eighteen scripts first." ”
