Chapter 519: The One Who Sings Black Face and Sings White Face (Second Update)

Rafal thinks too much, just like Kelly Anne Parsons before, Chen Jin didn't talk to him much at all, but simply told him and Jessica Alba the result - Jessica Alba got the role of Alice.

Happiness may not be too sudden, but it always feels a little too empty, a day of waiting, and finally just a few simple words, the playboy turned around and left, Rafal only then found that in fact, things were very simple, the playboy was not familiar with his relationship with him, did he still leave for dinner, and then talk about the old - naturally, it is the most normal to leave after saying the result, Jessica Alba has his agent in all things, and he is familiar with all the roles obtained, Or all the work that needs to be done to join a movie.

What he didn't know, of course, was that one of the reasons Playboy was so simple was because he was hungry, and he was a freak who couldn't go hungry.

Alice's casting was over, but the playboy had a lot of work, and the next morning, he went to the UK on a private jet with Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, this time, for the release of "The Expendables 1" in Europe.

For the release of "The Expendables" in North America, Chen Jin has already had a tacit understanding with Joseph Monroe, and even for the release of South America, Joseph Monroe will also connect him, and in Asia, Chen Jin is not worried at all, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his territory.

The next priority is naturally the distribution of the whole of Europe, the European countries are small, but the film market is large enough, especially in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and the Netherlands, etc., usually these five countries account for half of the entire European film market, and in the global box office, it is generally one-fifth, or even a quarter in high cases - this is when the overseas box office is much higher than the domestic box office in the United States.

Chen Jin and they are also looking for relationships in the east and relationships in the west to contact the bigwigs of the cinema alliances in these countries, especially Germany, France and France were only contacted through relations when Chen Jin was promoting "Spy in Spy" a few days ago, and France among them is Arnold Schwarzenegger's relationship.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is not just a brainless person with only muscles, from a bodybuilding champion to a superstar and then to the governor of California, the transformation is not so simple, don't look at his usual happiness, but his mind is not rough at all.

Flying from New York to London, less than eight hours, the morning plane, plus the time difference, arrived at noon, the three of them sat on the small bar of the plane drinking and chatting, Stallone asked Chen Jin, "King, I'm a little puzzled, why didn't you plan to use the script to negotiate terms with the old guy this time, let them help us complete the release in Europe, that would be much simpler, and besides, we are also very tight this time, and we can only talk about part of it this time." ”

If it were someone else, Stallone would not ask, but question such a decision, after all, the movie is everyone's share, and it is also related to his interests, but the more he understands Chen Jin, the more convinced, at this time Chen Jin smiled and shook his head, "That's too cheap for them, I still want more benefits, besides, even if they are forced to agree, they won't let us participate in it, and later, in addition to taking some more money, things still don't understand, do we ask these people every time?" ”

Arnold Schwarzenegger picked up his wine glass, comprehended, and clinked glasses with Chen Jin, "If you don't talk, it's not too late to come back and blackmail their vampires." ”

Chen Jin nodded, "This is an opportunity, after talking to the five of them first, the whole of Europe can take advantage of the opportunity, it is a matter of smooth sailing, or a matter of course," and turned his head to look at Stallone, "But this time, we may need to hemorrhage and give more benefits." ”…,

Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger nodded without hesitation, there are too many shady scenes, Chen Jin called the two of them, that is a manifestation of sincerity, and it can be regarded as a witness, they naturally have no opinion, but Chen Jin smiled again, "However, over there in South America, I heard that it is very loose over there, and I heard that Edward's vampires have extorted a two-for-two share, then, we should also be able to get more compensation from there." ”

After speaking, the three of them hehele, picked up the wine glass and touched it, the weak eat the strong, this is the rule of this world, Chen Jin didn't think about being more merciful.

At noon, I arrived in London, had lunch, took a little rest, and in the afternoon I talked about the next cooperation in the dark, old, but a little luxurious reception room of the very famous Brown Hotel in the United Kingdom.

The old guys loved it, but it is said that true aristocrats and gentlemen were willing to go here, and most famously, Queen Elizabeth sometimes preferred to sleep here instead of Buckingham Palace, which is just two blocks away.

The rough cut of the sample has been shown to these old guys first, and it is enough to see all the essence of the movie from such a film, and the next thing is just more detailed processing, which is more of an artistic effect, and basically has little to do with the excitement of the film.

Five old fellows, only William of England. Bin Chenjin had met twice, it was an old man in his sixties, he looked very old-fashioned, and he was also dressed in an orthodox British aristocratic attire, as if he was afraid that others would not know his identity - this guy was a baron, the lowest rank among the princes and uncles, but this was a lifelong system, compared to the kind of honorary titles that could be smashed casually on the street, this was already very honorable.

Polite greetings, but also when they get to know each other, in addition to William Bing, there are France's Renault, Germany's Van Gaal, the Netherlands' Gullit, Russia's Peteyev, Renault and Arnold Schwarzenegger's relationship is obviously very good, the two hugged each other and said a lot of things, I don't know, I thought the two of them were doing it.

And when the negotiations began, there were also the two of them, Arnold Schwarzenegger first said to Renault: "Mr. Renault, we are here this time in the hope of getting your help, you must have seen the sample, I don't know what your opinion is?" ”

Renault first glanced at Chen Jin, who was light-hearted, before saying to Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I also want to work with you, but the distribution of your American films throughout Europe is strictly controlled, and this is largely due to the pressure given to us by the big American studios." ”

A good relationship is a good relationship, brothers can turn their faces for money, Renault is not polite, he talked about the difficulties at the beginning, not the quality of the movie that Arnold Schwarzenegger said, of course, this is very normal, Arnold Schwarzenegger said the movie at the beginning, in fact, he was talking about the advantages of his side, and it is obvious that everyone is still very confident in the quality of "The Expendables".

"I understand that," Arnold Schwarzenegger nodded with a smile, "but we have signed an agreement with Mr. Joseph Monroe of North America for distribution, and then South America and the whole of Asia have agreed to the terms of our cooperation, which means that this is a special case of cooperation, and the final binding force will not affect you in any way." ”

William Bin finally spoke at this time, slowly and methodically, and glanced at Chen Jin, "Chan, can you tell me about the conditions on your side first?" "Naturally, he won't be called Chen Jinking.

Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, "Sir Bing thinks that any conditions we should give are what we should strive to accomplish, and this is a sign of respect for you. ”

As soon as he came up, William Bin finally smiled, although it was very light, but the title still changed, "Okay, dear Chan, we are all the empress's people, from this point of view, we are our own people, I will not make it difficult for you." ”…,

The old fox is the old fox, no matter how nice it sounds, it is still to let Chen Jin put forward the conditions first, they have to take the initiative, Chen Jin shrugged, "Okay, I think, everyone should know, the condition set by me and Mr. Monroe is to divide three into six, then, I think, I shouldn't ask for anything more." ”

He was talking nonsense, but he knew that Joseph Monroe would never tell any outsiders about this true percentage, because there were too many things involved, and the simplest point was tax evasion.

He and Chen Jin talked about this ratio, but the contract signed was a secret contract, and the one used to make the company's income and expenditure accounts and pay taxes was another document, where both of them would easily obtain more than 20% tax avoidance from profits through various means, which was millions of dollars.

When William Bin heard this ratio, his smile immediately fell, thinking that he had never smiled, his face was cold, and he lightly spit out a number, "Four into four, this is the best treatment." ”

At this time, Chen Jin stopped talking, and Stallone began to sing blackface on the side, "Forty into four, Sir Bing, I think you have seen how great the film is, we will only pay each other a four-for-two share to any large distributor in the United States," sneered, "I heard that you bullied those guys miserably, and every time you give them the lowest price, do you plan to take revenge on us this time." ”

Stallone's previous words are nonsense, but the back is not, the whole of Europe is so big, but it is divided into so many countries, like Universal and 21st Century Fox and other big producers and distributors, at the beginning they were honest, but later after all the joints were opened, these theaters were miserable - as long as the film passed the censorship and was introduced, Universal and other big distributors could directly bypass them and cooperate with the theaters below, east to west, one by one, in the end, there are few who do not give in, and, Once or twice is fine, but over time, now is the time when American movies are rampant around the world, and if you don't let it go, then you just wait to go out of business.

That's where the big studios and distributors are strong, and that's the case in the U.S. where there is only one alliance, let alone in Europe.

Stallone's unceremonious words made the faces of William Bin and the others change, but for the sake of profit, they didn't immediately brush their sleeves away, and Arnold Schwarzenegger also began to sing white faces in due time, "Mr. Renault, and dear gentlemen, I think there will definitely be more of our next cooperation, and besides, you also know the energy of king, dozens of movies a year, if we have a good start, and then the cooperation takes shape, you can at least increase your profits by more than eight percent per year, right?" ”
