Chapter 335: Competing for favors

ps: People say that you have to be thick-skinned to ask for votes, there are woods and don't say, whether you ask for it or not is a matter of attitude, I sincerely ask for tickets, monthly tickets, recommended tickets, what is it, free evaluation votes, hehe, if you throw some money tickets for me, I will naturally be more excited! Thank you, there is wood and zhende to say, just ask for it, make a statement!

There is no doubt that "The Line of Fire" is a very good cop movie, which can be seen from the positive information and reports given by most of the media in Shijie, Danshi, but the box office did not soar as everyone thought.

Among them, the biggest reason is the length of the film for three hours, which has encountered certain difficulties not only in North America, but also around the world. In the United States, there are almost 500 theaters released in the first week, but in the second week, and even the most critical third week, there are no more than 1,000 theaters released, which is obviously a very big gap compared with the almost 1,600 theaters in the third week of the release of "The Seven Deadly Sins".

Therefore, even if the highest score of a single theater is close to 35,562 US dollars, but this still drags down the overall box office, in early September, the global release ended, and the statistical results were announced, with a total of 83.76 million US dollars in the United States, and 128.63 million US dollars in other regions, although it is not too much, but compared with "The Seven Deadly Sins", a total of 212.39 million US dollars, converted to Hong Kong dollars, it is almost 1.88 billion.

This time, the box office of Hong Kong's movies is strong, also as high as 66 million, which is basically the same as "Jedi Men", but this can only be regarded as a drop in the barrel.

66 million vs. 1.88 billion, is this good or bad, should it be sung or praised, and even, does "The Line of Fire" belong to Hong Kong-made police films, or is it a complete Hollywood police film? - "Entertainment Unlimited" Shagang wolf

1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, 1.88 billion Hong Kong dollars, every movie is a bumper harvest, and it is still improving

On the 10th, in the grand ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the celebration banquet of "The Line of Fire" was being held, Brother Qiang and Mr. He Guanchang were standing with Chen Jin, the former said with a smile: "Ah King, no matter how good the movie is next time, you can also take it easy, you are too long, the audience is happy, I can't stand it!" ”

The investment of 120 million has collected a box office of 1.88 billion, excluding the distribution fee, there are almost one billion, which is not 10 million to make 100 million, let alone 1 million to make 10 million, the larger the base, the more difficult it is to make money, almost 100 million times multiplied, that is really amazing.

Chen Jin pouted, "If you are too long, I will cut half of it for you next time, lest you get it and still be here without mercy." He Guanchang laughed, saying that this movie made more money than his group of old buddies earned in a year, which is really not an exaggeration at all, patted Chen Jin on the shoulder, "I didn't say anything, in a word, you can toss as much as you want, my only request now is that I know that many people will come to you to share some profits, but my share, no matter how much, you have to leave a little for my old man, otherwise I will be cheeky to go to your company to cheat." ”

Three movies in a row on billions, who is not impressed, this is the case in this circle, if there is a benefit, everyone has to get some together, otherwise you want to come sideways alone, it is difficult to get through. In other words, in this entertainment industry, in fact, it is still a place for the big guys outside to make money together and play with women, that is to say, it is actually a circle, even Hollywood, it was not the predators of Wall Street who got it back then, this is something that everyone knows. ..., not to mention anything else, the Shaw Brothers found Chen Zichen and Chen Jin to play the emotional card, and some people directly went to Old Lady Chen and Master Chen, and even heard that this matter made Old Lady Chen very proud.

Chen Jin also understands this truth, not to mention that he doesn't want to make money on this, there is a way, mixing in this circle, in the final analysis, it is just a way to establish image and authority, and even popularity, and slowly establish contacts. The line is the champion, since he is in this line, Chen Jin does not dislike it.

After listening to He Guanchang's words, Brother Qiang smiled and continued: "The old man is reasonable, and he doesn't dare to force it, but you have to leave us a little bit for our part." ”

Chen Jin laughed, "I also have a sentence, everyone earns money together, I haven't reached the point where I see money, this time the two movies are still the old way, one is taken out, everyone chooses, I keep one for myself, as for the future, let's talk slowly." ”

"Extreme Panic" and the movie renamed "Liar" from "Nine Queens" After Chen Jin Huilai, Yijing has been carried out in an orderly manner, and he is not afraid of no one investing at all, but there are too many suspects.

For Chen Jin's decision, Brother Qiang and He Guanchang are not good at saying anything, they still want more, or let Chen Jin reserve more equity for them in this movie, but Chen Jin doesn't say it, if he says it, he doesn't like to argue with him very much, this point, from the beginning of contact with Chen Jin, Brother Qiang understood it very deeply.

Of course, the two also believe that the share that Chen Jin left them will definitely leave them speechless, which is also Chen Jin's advantage, he misses the old love and values affection.

As soon as he was separated from the two of them, Jackie Chan came over with two glasses of wine, and took the initiative to replace the one that Chen Jin had left a little bit of wine in his hand, happy, "Now you are a busy person, it is not easy to find a chance to talk to you." It's also straightforward, "You tell me the truth, what do you think after watching the sample film, is there a problem at the box office, and how did I act?" ”

"Red Fan Zone" starring Jackie Chan will be released worldwide in two weeks, and the status that Chen Jin's current success has piled up, at least in terms of Hollywood's right to speak, Jackie Chan can only look up, and it is naturally very necessary to ask Chen Jin about his perception at this time.

Because of Chen Jin's guidance in advance, this film is obviously stronger than the "Red Fan Zone" in another time and space, although Tang Jili is a novice, but he has drunk foreign ink, and he actually has a good performance, which is better than Chen Jin imagined, "I want to say that it's hard to say, Brother Jackie Chan, you must pester me, then I'll take a big mouth, but if it's wrong, don't blame me afterwards,"

Seeing Jackie Chan nodding violently, Chen Jin smiled slightly, "In my opinion, it's very good, and you acted very well, especially the action scenes, which have a bit of the flavor of Bruce Lee's predecessors, and it's not difficult to become a hit." ”

After hearing this, Jackie Chan immediately had a smile on his face, and touched a glass with Chen Jin, "I have to thank you for my good words," and smiled embarrassedly, "Although I entered the industry earlier than you, you know this business better than me, and I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, if you have anything suitable, just say hello when the time comes, and don't care about anything else." ”

This one is worth helping, Chen Jin did not refuse, and answered with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Jackie Chan, you are in the plan for next year." At the end of the point, he winked at him and said no more.

Jackie Chan was really overjoyed, every time he was cheeky to say a word, Chen Jin gave him a surprise, drank the wine in the toast in one sip, asked the waiter to bring another glass over, and said politely to Chen Jin, "Don't say anything superfluous, I salute you, if there is anything to say in the future, if I Jackie Chan frowns, I won't have the face to see you in the future." "..., Chen Jin didn't care too much about this, of course, it was a good thing to keep this connection, and shook his head with a smile, "Brother Jackie Chan is serious, everyone is a family, don't talk about two families." ”

Tsui Hark squeezed over at this time, Jackie Chan said goodbye in a witty way, and Shi Nansheng also followed beside him, this one was more direct, "You stingy ghost, look at how much you earn, but the budget of the movie is so little, you are embarrassed." ”

Chen Jin shrugged, "You go and inquire, this movie has nothing to do with me, besides, "Extreme Panic" has a budget of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, to be honest, I saw that you gave an extra 20 million in front of you, if you don't do it, it's still too late," glanced at Shi Nansheng again, "You usually listen to your sister-in-law a little bit, and I promise that you don't have to pester me anymore." ”

The director of "Extreme Panic", Chen Jin is the man he is looking for, don't look at Tsui Hark's money, but he is like James Cameron, he can always surprise you, and he is also a truly capable and imaginative ghost director in Hong Kong.

As for 100 million Hong Kong dollars, it was deliberately pressed by Chen Jin, in his budget, between 120 million and 150 million Hong Kong dollars, but all shijie knew that this master likes to overspend, he spends money without a degree, if you don't card him first, he can spend 200 million or even 300 million for you.

Of course, 100 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely a lot, and when he changed Du Qifeng, he immediately didn't say a word, but Du Qifeng had to direct "Liar" this time, and the success of the last "The Line of Fire" made Chen Jin trust him enough.

Tsui Hark is not an easy to dismiss, Chen Jin's current identity he can't say cruel words, or, if Chen Jin asks him to make Hong Kong films, he will also be a little better, Danshi is a Hollywood production, he has to take it easy, Shi Nansheng reminded him many times before he came, Chen Jin is not a master to mess with.

"If you don't add another 20 million, you know, this scale is so big, if you make a four, I'm sorry you're not." This one started soft, but it was obviously a trick.

Chen Jin smiled and shrugged, "It's okay, if that's the case, the 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be smashed into your hands, and I will treat it as if this has never happened." ”

One ruthlessly touched the other even more ruthless, Tsui Hark glared, but gave a thumbs up, "Okay, count you ruthless, they all say that you are generous, but no xiangdao is a stingy ghost." Then he put his thumbs down with a look of contempt.

Chen Jin ignored him, winked at Shi Nansheng, saw that she understood, haha happily walked away, Shi Nansheng knew in his heart, Tsui Hark, zhende can't be too dependent on his temperament, in other words, many of the things he sometimes gets out are not used when he cuts them.
