ps: The third update, ask for support!

On the afternoon of January 7, Chen Jin, Chen Zichen, and his brother flew to New York together, and Fa Ge went to China with Ang Lee and the crew because of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

When he went, he also asked Chen Jin and his brother what to pay attention to, and his brother deliberately scared him and said a number of precautions, although he later learned that most of his brother was lying, but he still couldn't help but feel worried, and complained that Chen Jin threw him down and didn't say anything, and threw him into the country to suffer.

No matter what your environment is, as long as you are poor, everyone can't help but look down on you, unlike later, a lot of Hong Kong stars went to the mainland to make money, although the mainland has not changed much, but they are just willing to go, and they are happy to do this, to say a joke, now the RMB is worth more than the Hong Kong dollar!

got on the plane, my brother read the script prepared by Chen Jin on the sofa, and also chose the role he wanted to play by the way, in this world, I am afraid that he is the only one who has this kind of treatment, and Fa Ge has been envious and jealous for a long time.

In front of him is Chen Jin's script for the first half of the year, and the second half of the year will not start until at least May and June, and there are a total of seven scripts in front of him, including "The English Patient", "Fat Professor", "101 Dalmatian", "Evaporation Order", "Clock Tower Stranger", "The Lost World" and "Prison in the Air".

"The English Patient", "Clock Tower Oddity" and "The Lost World" are all adaptations, and the others are original scripts, plus "Toy Story", which has already been produced at Pixar Animation Studios, and the upcoming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Spy of the Spy" and "Magic Apprentice", there are a total of eleven films in the first half of the year, and there will only be more in the second half of the year, no less, for the simple reason - the film market in the second half of the year is even better.

"101 Dalmatian" and "Clock Tower Weirdo" are cartoons, and will also be handed over to Pixar Animation Studios, which is also fully invested by Jinchen Group itself, in addition, it also includes "Spy in Spy" and "Magic Apprentice", "Toy Story", as for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is invested and produced by four companies including Hong Kong Island Head Office and Andy's Sky Canopy.

The rest of "The English Patient," "Fat Professor," "Evaporation," "The Lost World," and "Prison in the Sky" are divided equally between five companies: Universal Pictures, Paramount, MGM, 21st Century Fox and Columbia Pictures.

Chen Jin is actually a thief, Jin Chen Group alone has five completely independent investment movies - "KO1 Dalmatian", "Clock Tower Stranger", "Spy of the Spy" and "Magic Apprentice", "Toy Story", but if you really want to say that three of them are cartoons, which Chen Jin has not done before, the live-action films are only "Spy of the Spy" and "Magic Apprentice", as for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is produced on Hong Kong Island.

Speaking of which, this script is all adapted or original by himself, and there is nothing to be greedy about, but now that Jinchen Group's business in North America has just begun to develop, Chen Jin has always scored some benefits

Even if the company has grown to a jaw-dropping level, but, just like Jerry Brown before. Morgan's previous request for shares, like Morgan Citigroup or other very large companies, even the Rockefeller family, also share interests, this is the most basic principle of the game of interests, one person monopolized, never a good end.

Now like this, it is equivalent to sharing about thirty and a half of the benefits, because for the remaining five, he will still get seventy and a half percent of the investment, just give up the distribution rights.

My brother watched it for a long time and when it was time to have dinner on the plane, he stopped, and he didn't speak until he was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee, and then he said to Chen Jin: "You are really fast, you have made so many things at once, and it seems that they are all good." ”

"I don't know exactly what will happen!" Chen Jin shrugged, "But it should be able to make money." ..., my brother glanced at him with a smile, "Tell me, it's better for me to play that." Chen Jin also glanced at him with a smile, "What, do you think it's difficult to choose, or do you think these scripts are not satisfied, then I can try again." ”

"Isn't it?" My brother waved his hand and said with a smile: "You have everything here, I'm just a little hesitant." ”

Chen Jin nodded, ""The English Patient" is a typical art film, if it is performed well, it will naturally be the one that wins the award; "Fat Professor" is very funny, it is also a very test of acting skills, it is not easy to act well, but after acting well, it is naturally full of praise; As for "Evaporation Order" and "Prison in the Air", they are serious action movies, the former needs muscular men, you are not too suitable, and the latter can still be tried. ”

The elder brother smiled and shook his head, "I know my own shortcomings, and my height doesn't seem to fit the kind of hero image that the Yankees have in mind." Chen Jin shrugged, "Not necessarily, the character in "Prison in the Sky" is not a pure hero, you may have unexpected effects when you act, think about it, a guy who is polite and looks more like an ordinary person may be able to make the audience feel more immersed!" ”

Seeing that his brother didn't react, Chen Jin smiled slightly, "As for "The Lost World", it is a magical adventure movie like "Jurassic Park" released the year before last, obviously, this is a very interesting movie, and the box office will always be good." ”

The elder brother didn't say anything about acting, but asked him, "Since you know that "The Lost World" will have a good box office, why don't you shoot it yourself." "This kind of thing, Chen Jin naturally didn't hide it

Chen Jin chuckled, "There are too many good things, if you take it into your arms once you feel that it is valuable, sometimes, people will think that you are stingy, and you take it out, and then maybe you will make more benefits, and people will think that you are okay." ”

My brother smiled and slapped him, "I've decided, I'll shoot this one that may be the highest box office," shrugging, "I want to play "The English Patient", but this name is not suitable for me, "Fat Professor" is suitable for black people who are more humorous, and the other two action movies, I think it's better to forget it, and I think "The Lost World" is more fun at the moment. ”

The time difference is still Saturday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the headquarters of the Golden Morning Group on Wall Street, the presidents of the five major Hollywood studios are sitting around the large round table in the conference room.

There is no way, Chen Jin attended in person, now his identity is different, no one is embarrassed to send a representative, if this is the case, this guy who makes everyone envious, jealous and hateful, if he is stingy, he doesn't know if he will let them sit in this place next time.

It took half an hour for the bigwigs of Universal, Paramount, 21st Century Fox, MGM and Columbia Pictures to read all five scripts roughly, and Chen Jin had been drinking red wine and eating snacks waiting for them, but he had just gotten off the plane to negotiate with these greedy guys, and he didn't bother to say hello to them.

After they finished reading and raised their heads, Chen Jin raised the wine glass in his hand, "I want to celebrate our happy cooperation in advance." Everyone took a sip together, and then he said lightly: "Okay, since everyone has finished reading it, I will now talk about the next rules, I think everyone is not stupid, it is obvious that "The Lost World" is a big cake, I have no intention of swallowing it alone, and I have never been used to doing such things. ”

Last year, the most profitable script, "Independence Day," sold a total of almost $840 million, but it was shared with Universal, and the second-most profitable "Tornado" collected more than $520 million and was also shared with Paramount. ..., seeing that everyone had no objections, nodded, "Then, let's draw lots next, and if we draw "The Lost World", he will automatically lose the distribution rights of a film invested by my company completely independently, of course, even so, he may be the guy who gets the most benefits, but, since he draws it, it is his luck, and he didn't draw it, how to say it, maybe there are surprises in other movies, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

Mr. Edward of Universal was a little dissatisfied, "Dear King, Universal has always had the best relationship with Jinchen Group, should we have some priority or special conditions?" "Edward can't help it, this kind of thing should be said in private, but Chen Jin didn't give him a chance, he gathered everyone at once, and now if the matter is settled, it is useless for him to wait and talk about it.

In other words, among the movie box office that all the companies here participated in investing in last year, "The Extraordinary Suspect" was the lowest, only a little more than 100 million US dollars, and other people's casual is two or three billion, and Universal is even more incredible, plus investment and distribution, there are two billion US dollars.

21st Century Fox is now repentant, think about it, at the beginning, they were the second to contact Jinchen Group, if they ruthlessly snatched the distribution rights of "The Line of Fire" at that time, they were the ones who became prosperous, and now, at least easily earn an extra $500 million.

William Campbell, the president of 21st Century Fox, said in a weird manner: "Mr. Edward, you should be content, you also have to think about the big guy, you can't have to divide more than half every year, besides, you don't care about the rest, you have to think about it for King, Jinchen Group's business has now been carried out to the United States, we need closer cooperation, you want to monopolize it, how do you let King distribute it, favor is favor, but now it's business, don't you make King embarrassed?" ”。

William Campbell is really cunning, fighting and pulling, but several other companies also have the same thoughts, at this time they can't help but hate the same enemy, in other words, the share in the first half of the year is so much, and Chen Jin is really a human guy, who knows if he will have other changes, at the very least, the "Lost World", it seems to be a copy of "Jurassic Park", a little bit of good shooting, seven or eight billion dollars will be in hand.

What priority Edward said, who knows if he is just staring at this movie, wanting to get it without drawing lots, although the lottery is only a 20% chance, but after all, there is no chance, if it is snatched away like this, it will be unjustly killed, I am afraid that I will not even be able to sleep when I go back.
