Chapter 521: Boiled Frog in Warm Water (1st Update)
William. After Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone got out of the Brown Hotel and got into the car of the London branch of Jinchen Group, the former couldn't help but ask Chen Jin, "KING, I think their requirements are about three out of eight." He nodded and didn't say anything, Chen Jin smiled and nodded, "That's right, four into four is just a lion's big mouth, this is a temporary adjustment to the three into six we proposed in the first round, if we open our mouth is three into three with Joseph Monroe, their first request may be forty percent."
Stallone stared at Chen Jin, he felt that he always didn't see through this guy, but everything Chen Jin did convinced him, even this time, he never thought that Chen Jin was messing around or making stupid mistakes, just thinking about what his purpose was, he smiled and shook his head, "I thought that when I played, I planned to have a good fight with that Van Gaal, and it would probably be able to drop to three into nine." β
When I came, I said that forty percent is the possible standard, and Stallone is here to play blackface, just in that situation, Van Gaal's face was hideous, and he looked turned his face, naturally, at this time, it was Stallone's turn to fight with him, which was also what Van Gaal expected, after all, everyone just pointed at each other's noses with red faces and scolded, "Mother, the final purpose is still to let the other party spit out more benefits." As for fighting, it is impossible to drop. "I'm going to make them think I'm greedy for what Van Gaal said about a European-wide distribution, but they're still going to be confused because Van Gaal has already offered to use it as a bargaining chip, and at the very least, we can cut one percent of the profits." Chen Jin began to talk to Arnold Schwarzenegger about the two of them.
"I'm playing a game right now, a game of humanity: this is our first time working together, so we're going to be most generous, with the quality of The Expendables, and they'll be ecstatic with the distribution that Universal usually squeezes them to about 25 to 20 8 percent, regardless of our purpose."
"But, no matter how much we argue with them, the final price will not be less than 30 percent -- that is, they only get an extra 2 percent, but it is this 2 percent that makes them generous."
"Then, from the introduction of the film to the final theatrical release, all the joints that have been released in Europe have to give us the greatest help while being prepared, and not more obstruction like they will do after intense negotiations, because we are generous and sincere first, then they must also give more help accordingly."
"We're not going to let them reveal all the secrets at once, but after the first cooperation, the European distribution problem has been solved, and the second time, they will still be greedy and take over our work without hesitation." "In the process of cooperation, we gradually became familiar with the distribution of the whole Europe, and at the same time, we will continue to reduce the distribution fee here, but it is a little bit lower, and they have to agree, this is like boiling a frog in warm water, as long as it does not fall to their final psychological expectations, that is, they are at the same level as them in the world, and the people who get the benefits are absolutely not willing to give up easily."
"Even if they are willing to give up, the theaters below will not give up, this is also the old routine of producers such as Universal, not to mention, we give a lot more than Universal."
Arnold Schwarzenegger glanced at Chen Jin at this time, "In the end, the distribution of the whole of Europe is completely in our hands, and we will blackmail these old guys fiercely at that time." β
THIS GUY AND STALLONE, WHO IS ALSO HEHELE, CAME TO GIVEMEFIVE, CHEN JIN LOOKED AT IT AND SHOOK HIS HEAD, "THAT'S RIGHT, AND BECAUSE OF THE TWO PERCENT THAT WE JUST CEDED, AS LONG AS WE ARRANGE IT WELL, IT CAN BE COMPLETED IN THREE YEARS, WHICH CAN SAVE AT LEAST ONE OR TWO YEARS, AND ONE OR TWO YEARS, LET ALONE TWO PERCENT, EVEN IF WE GIVE IT ALL TO THEM, WE WILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, RIGHT?" "...,Arnold Schwarzenegger slapped Chen Jin's shoulder," "You guy is too cunning, I think, those old guys are still wondering, are you suddenly stupid or something," shrugged, "If I suddenly encounter that kind of thing, I will also feel that I have taken advantage of it and think that people are cheating on me, that kind of taste is not pleasant." "Chen Jin, hehe, Le," isn't that better, it makes them suspicious, and when the time comes, they think too much, but they will reveal more things."
Three days later, Chen Jin and they have signed a contract with the entire European theater chain for the release of "The Expendables", William Bing They are not stupid, how did they do it in the world, naturally they are afraid that Chen Jin will paint the scoop according to the gourd, and they will definitely paint the scoop according to the gourd, but since they cooperate, it is impossible to completely cover it up.
And Chen Jin and the others didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, they just signed agreements with each family very generously, and then let the people of Jinchen Film Group follow to complete all the necessary procedures as soon as possible.
Whether it is experience or contacts, they are all established in cooperation again and again, and this relaxation will accelerate the whole process of establishment, which is the real greatest benefit.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of May, and after the European distribution was resolved, the promotional offensive of "The Expendables" began to unfold rapidly throughout Europe, and as collaborators, the European theaters also gave more help, which is a completely mutually beneficial thing, the better the box office, the more they share.
At the same time, Chen Zichen also took down the distribution of the entire Asia and South America, which was familiar on the Asian side, but it was the first time on the South American side, but Chen Jin was busy, so Chen Zichen and Joseph Monroe went to do it together. According to Joseph Monroe's joke, Chen Zichen is much more powerful than Chen Jin, and the South Americans who cut Argentina, Brazil and Chile lost their armor, and the original bottom limit of three into two was cut to two into eight, of course, this is still a lot higher than the two percent they gave.
The distribution is basically done, and the early publicity is in full swing, but the release of the film will have to wait until the second half of the year, first of all, the later stage of "The Expendables" has not been completed, for the best effect, Chen Jin has spent a lot of effort, and many times Stallone feels that it is amazing, but he is still making it better.
Secondly, "Spy 1" is still in theaters and the box office is still hot, maybe there will be a six-week release, and "The Expendables" will be released too early as the same box office bomb
Of course, this is also the time when the films are piling up, "Fat Professor" starring Eddie Murphy, "Evaporation Secret" starring Jackie Chan and the animated feature film "Stranger in the Clock Tower" were all released last weekend, these are three different types of films, and they have all discussed the release of them together at this time.
As for "Prison in the Sky" starring Nicolas Cage, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" starring Fa Ge, "The Lost World" and "Magic Apprentice" and "The English Patient" starring my brother, it will be June, or even early July. In addition to movies, there is also music, just next month, Michael Jackson will debut a new album after the super hit single disc "Ambiguous", which is also what the United States and even the world are looking forward toγ»No way, Chen Jin also has to help him complete the post-stage of the last two songs, and he has to pull him to choreograph some songsγ»No way, who calls him always the king of qi, showing his unparalleled dance in front of the king, he can play with anything weird, and once again even the king of anger intends to protest with "support to death".
I arrived early in the music room dedicated to him, which includes a recording studio, a dance studio, and a special instrument room, all kinds of musical instruments, the problem is that he will use them, which is also admired by the king. β¦,
Help Michael get an album, his own album has to be stepped up, the album was originally scheduled to be released at the end of May, it may not be until the end of June, which is too busy, but the second half of the year will be much better, he only has one movie.
Chinese, Cantonese albums and Japanese and Korean single discs are very easy, easy to master, after the lyrics and songs are ready, it is no problem to record two songs a day, as for the English album, because it is the first release, Playboy's pursuit of perfection makes it all a little slower.
For the time being, he didn't do the post-production for Michael Jackson, Chen Jin was used to doing it with him, so that he could communicate better, and sit in front of the piano to find the feeling, that is, the thoughts, which not only allowed him to enter the state as quickly as possible, but also occasionally had some whimsical ideas. After a while, Michael Jackson pushed the door in, and was not surprised to see him at all, if Chen Jin was coming, he would be earlier than him every time, unless he slept here, this is also where the king admires Chen Jin very much, Chen Jin is now the popular fried chicken in North America and even the world, even if it is the king, it is a lot worse in terms of comprehensive strength, but this is all Chen Jin in exchange for hard work, only those who really work with him know that he is the hardest working guy among all.
"Hey, buddy," Michael Jackson saw Chen Jin stop playing the piano, he said hello, otherwise, he would just listen quietly, as a musician, naturally understand that you can't be disturbed at that time, especially Chen Jin, it is easy to find the kind of super inspiration that is called mysterious and mysterious in his eyes, "The song just now is very strange, have you encountered any shackles again." β
Michael Jackson found out that he could use this to make fun of Chen Jin, but Chen Jin laughed, "Man, you listen to this well," and then added another cheerful tune with the weird tune just now, and then it became a particularly joyful and warm tune, like parents and children playing in the grass, like brothers and sisters playing, and like lovers chasing each other. More than three minutes, not a long song, but it was particularly infectious, Michael Jackson immersed himself in it for a while, shrugged, "Okay, man, should I praise your piano skills, or should I say that this piece is simply amazing." β
He pursed his lips regretfully and said with a smile: "This thing is not for me, otherwise I really want to change my mind and occupy it." β
After a few jokes, Michael Jackson suddenly said to Chen Jin: "By the way, man, there is a vacant house on the thirty-third floor above No. 1 Square, I went to take a look, it's not bad there, or I'll move there." Chen Jin turned his head to look at him, smiled and shook his head, "That kind of skyscraper, which is full of business people, doesn't that pollute our music." β
In the more than half a year since Jinchen Group entered North America, with the rapid expansion of Jinchen Film Group and the accelerated development of Jinchen Investment Company, even the Jinchen Music Group, which has been silent, has more manpower and material resources because Chen Jin is about to start releasing English albums in North America
As for the current trend, Chen Jin and several of them decided to move the Jinchen Film Group to Hollywood in Los Angeles within this year, and officially set up a base there, and the music group will also move to the place where it appears, together with Chen Jin's music room, to find another place to settle down in Manhattan, New York. And now the headquarters of Jinchen Group is left with the employees of the headquarters and the employees of the investment company, or in other words, it is basically a business that invests in a piece, but Chen Zichen and other bigwigs will still work here.
Michael Jackson had moved all his things to Chen Jin's music studio because of the recording, but because of the happy cooperation this time, Michael Jackson proposed that he hope that the cooperation with Chen Jin would continue and keep a recording studio for him in the new Jin Chen Music Group. ..., there is no record contract between Michael Jackson and Sony Records (formerly Universal Music), even if it is the contract that Chen Jin is recording for him now, it is only a record in which he and Sony Records have half of the rights, and he wants to use Sony Records' publicity and distribution channels, which is very important for the record, whether it is Michael Jackson or Chen Jin.
According to Michael Jackson's meaning, he will put the recording studio in the Jinchen Music Group, just like his current cooperation with Sony, it has become a music studio, which is naturally a good news for the future Jinchen Record Group, maybe not too long, if the album response is good enough, Michael Jackson will start to cooperate with the Jinchen Record Group on the next album. "You kid, do you think you're still a musician with a pure soul like me?" Michael Jackson quipped Chen Jin, "Say, it seems that you already have an idea, where is it, I hope you don't disappoint me." β
"Remember the six-story sky-blue building on Washington Street so close to Battery Park, you said it was beautiful that day, and you could still see the bright night view of the Hudson Estuary from the sixth floor?" Chen Jin smiled and answered, watching Michael Jackson's eyes brighten and shrug, "People don't want to sell, but they are willing to rent it to us, I think, that place is good." β
"Wow, really?" Michael Jackson was indeed a little surprised, but then asked, "Does it look like the territory of a big company?" β
This guy is not familiar with this place, Chen Jin smiled and nodded, "That's right, there is a small company owned by a big man in the Roosevelt family, but it has declined in the past few years, and it just happened to move away."
As he was talking, a man and two women came in at the door, one man was very familiar, but the two women were still strangers!
