Chapter 214: Making Up for Regrets (Asking for Subscription)
ps: The update is not stopped, the monthly pass is not interested, dear, please support more!
Jin Chen Film Company has just been established, and its main business at the beginning is still investing in films, and with the resources behind Chen Zichen, he naturally knows some of the dynamics of Hong Kong's film industry very well.
The investor of the movie "Farewell My Concubine" is mainly Tang Bao Film Company in Hong Kong, but inevitably, he has the participation of a Chinese film co-production company, and the filming is carried out in the mainland, and the director is a mainlander, and even the actors and participants in the entire production process are mostly mainlanders.
In addition, the political orientation of Tang Bao Film Company is too vague, he is always Taiwanese, but the company is in Hong Kong, and the company has launched a number of close cooperation with the mainland government since 92, which can be described as a fish in water.
In this way, the problem arises, both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards refuse to use him as a competition unit to participate in the competition for film awards, and the Hong Kong Film Awards have a more sufficient reason, saying that "Farewell My Concubine" does not meet the restrictions of two of the three conditions of "Hong Kong film" mentioned by the jury, and cannot participate in the award competition.
However, the Golden Horse Awards do not have such a qualification, and one of his entry conditions is very eye-catching, that is, "films with Chinese as the main pronunciation." "This includes Chinese, Cantonese, Hokkien and so on.
According to this reasoning, "Farewell My Concubine" was fully qualified to be selected, and at that time, the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland was considered to have made considerable progress after the "92 Consensus".
However, it is a pity that in the end, the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards rejected "Farewell My Concubine" on the bad excuse that he only accepted films from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao and other places to participate, while mainland films could not open the competition unit for the time being due to procedural problems.
Or, Tang Bao Film Company and others are just regretful, and my brother didn't complain at the time, and he didn't even say anything inappropriate, but who knows, this will become a lifelong wound for him!
It's still too late to say anything, Chen Jin remembers that "Farewell My Concubine" will start filming in April and May next year, and his brother received an invitation from director Chen Kaige around January, and he will go north to learn Mandarin in February after the New Year, although he didn't use Mandarin much later, leaving only a few scenes with his original voice.
It is now the beginning of December, and at this time, Tang Bao Film Company has completed the preliminary work, and it should be in the so-called "team" period, and director Chen Kaige should also take over, but none of this is important.
To make a film investment, you can join in before the movie starts, and even, it is not impossible to join in the middle or late stage, to put it bluntly, before the movie is released, no one is a god, and you know that the movie will definitely be a big hit.
Unless it's a sequel to a movie that's already been a big hit, under normal circumstances, it's normal for studios to cooperate with each other in the film industry.
Chen Jin remembered that the global box office of Farewell My Concubine reached an astonishing 30 million US dollars, which at this moment means 250 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a super amazing number. In this case, pulling Brother Qiang in can be regarded as returning him a big favor.
When he heard Chen Jin say that he wanted to invest in this movie, Chen Zichen was still a little stunned, I don't know why he suddenly cared about this kind of thing, Chen Jin is indeed working hard, but he is very lazy in some aspects, and he will not do it if he can, especially the company's affairs, he has always handed it over to her to deal with, except for the sweet mouth to make her happy every time, he doesn't pay attention to specific things at all.
Hearing Chen Jin say that this is a good script, of course she didn't believe it, and pouted, "Don't be sloppy in front of me." Then he raised his little fist and tried to punch him.
Chen Jin shrugged, "It's really a good script, and besides, this is a truly pure domestic film shot in the mainland." When Chen Zichen heard this, he thought he understood, and continued, "It turns out that you are doing it for this reason, but have you ever heard that you can't be emotional when making investments?" ”
Chen Jin heard that she misunderstood, but simply pushed the boat down the river and spread his hands, "People have feelings, and it's okay to be presumptuous once in a while, what's more, this is really a good book, isn't it?" ”
Seeing Chen Zichen shaking his head helplessly, holding her waist, bowing his head and kissing her smooth forehead, he smiled slightly, "This time, I'll help you run errands, and I'll take care of everything." ”
When he said this, Chen Zichen was a little suspicious again, patted his dishonest hand, and said coquettishly: "Say, do you have any thoughts?" ”
"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Chen Jin raised his hand as if he was about to swear, but Chen Zichen grabbed his hand and pulled it down and beat him, which made him happy, "Even if you have a heart, it's for the company, of course, there is a little secret, but it's definitely not me, but I'll tell you when it's a certain time, okay?" ”
To say, after the matter of Chen Jin and Chen Zichen came out, the two of them were actually invisibly closer again, at this time, Chen Zichen just glared at him, wrinkled his nose, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked "vicious", "If you mess up, see if I don't clean you up." ”
This girl didn't dare to bite him to death, lest she make fun of the villain again, and she couldn't help but think of the shameful scenes when she did bad things.
first made an appointment with Tang Feng of Tang Bao Film Company, Chen Jin called Brother Qiang again, and he was still busy with his own affairs, and the most nervous thing was that the shooting of the two movies was not counted, and the concert that started in twenty days was the most important.
This is a New Year's Eve concert, and it is eighteen in a row, so you have to put some thought, of course, the concert guest Chen Jin also shyly invited the most familiar people such as Brother Xueyou, Andy, Aaron Kwok, Sister Fang, Uncle Zhan, Gu Jiahui, Lu Fang, Li Keqin, etc., and even, even Fa Ge was invited, this old brother has also played tickets, and it is natural to sing occasionally.
Up to now, people in the circle also know why Chen Jin was able to get the New Year's Eve concert, and it was eighteen schedules, and Brother Xueyou joked about him, saying that he was a kid who actually snatched his schedule, and said that he hid a big beautiful princess behind him for so long and didn't say it, if he didn't invite him to dinner, he would never be a guest at the concert.
Busy until five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jin went to Brother Qiang's office in Causeway Bay, and before meeting Tang Feng, the two of them also had to meet.
Brother Qiang waited early in the morning, and when he saw Chen Jin, he got up from the chair in his office with a smile and greeted Chen Jin, grabbed his hand, and patted his arm, "It's still under the guise of me, so I don't have the heart to do things all afternoon, let's talk about it, what's so mysterious." ”
Chen Jin didn't answer in a hurry, waited for Brother Dong to bring over the coffee, took a leisurely sip, and then said lightly, "Thank you, Brother Qiang, for helping A-Ying solve the matter last time." Seeing that Brother Qiang was about to speak, he smiled and waved his hand, "I'm here today to find Brother Qiang to make some small money together to see if Brother Qiang is interested." ”
Looking for Brother Qiang to participate in the investment of "Farewell My Concubine", not only can he return the favor, but also the participation of one more Hong Kong film company, plus Jin Chen, there will be three Hong Kong film companies.
After listening to Chen Jin's words, Brother Qiang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Yes, this kind of good thing is really unaffordable for you to run in person." ”
Chen Jin glanced at him with a smile, "Come back with me, I'm afraid I'll trick you, or I won't say it." Seeing Brother Qiang shaking his head with a smile, he didn't wait for him to speak and said his meaning directly: "I don't know if you have heard of "Farewell My Concubine" that Tang Bao is investing in now, it is a very good book, I am very optimistic, and I plan to ask you to talk about cooperation with Tang Bao's Tang Feng." ”
"I've heard of it, I heard that the director is a famous director in the mainland, but it's a literary film, and you know that the box office of this kind of film has always been not very good!" Brother Qiang nodded, but he hesitated, and finally asked the question he was most concerned about, "Are you planning to act?" ”
He understands it more clearly, Chen Jin shook his head with a smile, "No, I don't have such a plan, but I'm still optimistic about his box office, and he is a really good movie, and the mainland will also release it, there are so many mainlanders, it's just a lot of money." ”
As soon as Brother Qiang heard that Chen Jin didn't plan to act, his brows furrowed, the box office of literary films has always been average, no matter how good Chen Jin said, but he is not guaranteed to be at the box office, it is difficult for Brother Qiang to believe anything.
What's more, Chen Jin doesn't seem to know much about what he looks like, even if he knows it very well, no one can predict how it will be filmed and what it will be after it is released.
Chen Jin didn't bother to say much, there was no need to say much about this kind of thing, with a smile, shrugged, "That's it, Brother Qiang, I don't mean anything else, let's one yard to one yard, this is business, I just think it's good, so I said, if you don't want to, I won't force it, but I want to borrow the name of your company, the money will be paid by me, and when the time comes, we can also share this share." ”
Chen Jin can go to Andy's canopy, but the canopy is too tender and has no strength in Hong Kong, Chen Jin plans to borrow the strength behind Brother Qiang, three companies with strong backgrounds, it is possible to really completely change the fate of "Farewell My Concubine", in short, it is best to be stable.
Hearing Chen Jin insist so much, Brother Qiang's curiosity came up, and he smiled slightly, "If you say that, you'll slap me in the face, you're all here, can I still not believe you, even if it's a pair of legs, I'll pull it down and gamble on it." ”
