Chapter 242: Next Steps
On the first day of returning to Hong Kong, Han Jin held a press conference at the Sheraton Hotel. He reviewed his experience in Japan for more than a month, shared his joy of success with everyone, and satisfied everyone's curiosity about him.
The Hong Kong media also wanted to visit him for a long time, and he had always reprinted the reports of the Japanese media before, but now that he had finally waited for this opportunity, he couldn't help but be grateful to Han Jin for his understanding.
The press conference lasted for an hour, the media got the news they wanted, and Han Jin also got the exposure he wanted, and the cooperation was a win-win situation, and everyone was happy.
After the reception, Han Jin also prepared a sumptuous buffet for the reporters and friends who were present today to entertain everyone. Before leaving, each person also had a small bag of gifts from Japan.
The so-called taking people with short hands and eating people with soft mouths, these reporters eat and take, and after they go back, they naturally sing praises for Han Jin and waving their flags and shouting.
After the guests and hosts were happy, Han Jin rushed home again. Zeng Huaqian, Sister Mei, Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong and other beauties have not been seen for more than a month, so naturally they have to be soothed, and the rain and dew are evenly wet, otherwise they will die of thirst.
"Ah Jin, TVB wants to invite me to shoot a new drama." After a few times, Zhao Yazhi said contentedly lying on his chest.
She is now thirty years old, and her whole body exudes a charming and charming atmosphere, like a ripe peach, sweet and seductive.
The so-called thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger. Just a few times of Chenghuan, the upside down and the phoenix also made Han Jin very satisfied.
"Oh, what's the subject?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
"It's a martial arts drama, partnered by Andy Lau and Hua Tsai." Zhao Yazhi introduced. "But the villain doesn't seem to be decided yet."
"Oh?!" Han Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sat up.
"Huh?! What's wrong? Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.
"I just remembered that there were a few classmates in the training class who had nothing to do, and since the villain of that play was not settled, it was better to let them try it first." Han Jin said with a smile.
"But if you want to play a villain, I wonder if your classmates will have any concerns?" Zhao Yazhi said worriedly.
"What's the relationship with the villain, didn't I also play Huo Du in the first place?" Han Jin said with a smile.
"In that case, then I'll go back and talk to the director and ask him to consider the newcomer." Zhao Yazhi nodded.
"Don't bother you, I'll go myself." Han Jin smiled.
……
The next day, Han Jin returned to the company in good spirits to report.
"Ah Jin. Good job. It is really the pride of our Hong Kong people. Su Xiaoliang smiled happily.
"Thank you Mr. Su for the compliment~" Han Jin nodded with a smile, "But I won't be proud, and I will continue to work hard." ”
"Well said." Su Xiaoliang laughed and said, "That's right." Here are several film companies to invite them. Take a look. The salary is not low. The maximum is 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"Oh?!" Han Jin was stunned.
When he played "The Frog Prince" before, his salary was only 200,000 at first, but later because Shaw Brothers was not trustworthy. The lion opened his mouth and called for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Unexpectedly, as he became famous in Japan, his salary has risen to 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, quadrupled. In 82, Xu Guanjie filmed "Best Partner", and the salary of 2 million has broken the record, and he can't imagine that he is only one line away from the highest salary.
"This is the script they came, take a look, do you have a good idea?" Su Xiaoliang said with a smile.
Han Jin nodded, took the script, and read it seriously.
"Flower Heart Radish", "One Escape to Survive", "New Flying Fox Biography", "Mr. Your Surname" ...... is not a vulgar romantic comedy, or an old-fashioned sword and martial arts film, the plot is old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and the characters are the same, just trying to make quick money under the banner of Han Jin.
Han Jin read a copy, shook his head, and put it aside. Looking at the other one again, he shook his head again and put it aside again...... Seven or eight scripts have been given up in a moment, which makes Su Xiaoliang faintly distressed when he looks at it on the side.
The salary given by these movies is very good, such as the film "Mr. Your Surname", the salary can be as high as 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars. If Han Jinken took over this movie, then Huaxing Records would be able to take a commission of 300,000 yuan, but now he can only helplessly watch the meat in his mouth being spit out.
Han Jin saw the end, and finally saw the play "Shanghai Night" by Xu Kelai.
Seeing Xu Ke's name written on the script, Han Jin's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly opened the script and read it carefully.
Regarding Xu Ke's name, he has long been like thunder. A well-known director in Hong Kong, he has produced countless classic films, such as the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" series, "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Sword and Horse" and so on.
Han Jin has also heard of this "Shanghai Night" and knows that it is one of Xu Ke's most proud works in the 80s, and it is also the pioneering work of the film studio he founded after he came out of New Art City. It is about the tragicomedy between a down-and-out musician and two women during the Anti-Japanese War.
Han Jin looked at the script seriously, and after reading it, he let out a sigh of relief, then shook his head and vetoed the script.
"What, do you think this movie is low-paid?" Su Xiaoliang asked suspiciously.
Xu Ke's salary for this movie is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is the lowest salary among these movies, so it will be placed at the bottom by Su Xiaoliang.
But in fact, in his heart, Su Xiaoliang still hopes that Han Jin will take over the script. Because although Xu Ke gives a low salary, this person's filmmaking skills are first-class. If Han Jin can take over his movies, it will also be very beneficial to her future exhibitions in the film industry.
"It's not about the salary, it's about the role that doesn't suit me very well." Han Jin waved his hand and smiled.
In the play "Shanghai Night", the most brilliant are the two women. And Han Jin's role is just a foil, and there is no room for wielding it at all.
Therefore, although Xu Ke is a well-known director, and the opportunity to cooperate with him is very rare, Han Jin still doesn't want to wronged himself. Take on the role of such a vase.
"If so, then don't think about it. Don't worry, we'll get you hooked up. Su Xiaoliang smiled again and said, "Since you won't take on new dramas for the time being, what are your plans next, are you going to release an album?" ”
"The new album was just released last month, and the market hasn't fully digested it yet, so let's wait another two months." Han Jin waved his hand and smiled, "I want to go to Taiwan to break through, and the music market over there is also very large." I should be able to give it a try. ”
Su Xiaoliang was stunned. Then he smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's really aggressive." I'll do my best to get in touch with you and ask the record company over there to cooperate. I believe that with your current popularity. There must be a lot of record companies tempted. ”
Han Jin also smiled. "Then thank you Mr. Su for your trouble."
"Where. Where~" Su Xiaoliang waved his hand and said, "By the way, there are several record companies here that want to invite songs." The price has been opened to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. The company is not easy to block your money, whether you want to sell songs or not, you can make your own decisions. ”
Han Jin took it with a smile, and saw that there were really a lot of invitation letters, and Lin Lin was always afraid that there would be hundreds of them. "Wow, these record companies are really willing to do it, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, I guess it's already a record."
"Yes, now the works of other famous artists in Hong Kong are only 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, and you are 20 times as much as theirs." Su Xiaoliang also said with a smile, "I have never seen such a high price in this industry for so many years. ”
"But you're worth the money. Ame's "Bad Girl" album sold 350,000 copies, reached seven platinum sales, and thanks to you, it also made a name for itself in Japan. is now known as the 'sexy goddess', even more powerful than Madonna, and firmly occupies the position of a first-line female singer in Hong Kong. ”
"Warner Records' newcomer Ye Qianwen also became an instant hit in Hong Kong with the "Zero Hour and Ten Hours" you wrote, and the album also sold 200,000 copies, and now she is also a popular singer in the limelight. People say that Ah Jin's song will top the last platinum record, according to me, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is less. Su Xiaoliang said with a smile.
Han Jin couldn't help but smile when he heard it, "Okay, I'll take these invitation letters back and take a look, if I happen to have the right songs in hand, I'll try to sell some." ”
"Well, but Ah Jin has a good song, so he still has to stick to our company first." Su Xiaoliang said busily again.
Han Jin also smiled and nodded, "Got it, don't worry, Mr. Su, I'm measured." ”
……
After coming out of the company, Han Jin asked Wu Qiwei and Liu Qingyun to have tea together.
"Haha, Ah Jin, I thought you would forget about us after you became famous~" As soon as they met, Wu Qiwei said with a smile.
"Have you forgotten, I've seen you look like you're not wearing clothes~" Han Jin smiled, "Come, sit down first, how are you doing?" ”
"Well, I'm still playing tricks. Qingyun is better than me, and he has already played the leading role. Wu Qiwei shook his head and said.
"Don't listen to Ah Hua's nonsense, he's not a male protagonist at all, he's just a male lead." Liu Qingyun waved his hand and said, "I don't look handsome, how can the actor have my share." ”
"The second male lead is also very good, take your time, I didn't play a big supporting role at the beginning." Han Jin smiled and said, "By the way, let's not talk about this first, I know that TVB is going to open a martial arts drama recently, and now the important roles have not been decided." ”
"Oh?!" Liu Qingyun and Wu Qiwei couldn't help but light up their eyes.
"It's just to play the villain...... Han Jin said again, "I don't know if you're willing to sacrifice it?" ”
Liu Qingyun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, the last time he played "Drawing a Rainbow", although he was the second male lead, he was finally a positive role. Now that he is suddenly asked to play the villain, he is really a little resistant.
Because everyone knows that in TVB, actors are easy to set when filming. It's okay if you don't succeed in playing the villain, if you succeed, you will continue to act, and there is basically no hope of turning over. But who likes to be an actor who can't turn over after playing a villain all the time?
So as soon as he heard that he was going to play a villain, Liu Qingyun subconsciously resisted. But when I think about it, it's a rare opportunity. Even if you play a villain, you are still an important role, and you can become famous if you play it well.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyun just wanted to open his mouth and agree, but he heard that Wu Qiwei had already spoken, "I'm not afraid of playing a villain, Ah Jin, you can help me fight for it." ”
Seeing Wu Qiwei's fanatical appearance, Liu Qingyun had no choice but to sigh and swallow the words that came to his mouth.
"Ah Hua, aren't you really worried that you won't be able to turn over as a villain?" Han Jin asked again.
"Alas, my greatest fear is that I am too poor to turn over. What's wrong with playing a villain, it's also an important role. Wu Qiwei laughed.
"Okay then, in that case, then I'll fight for you." Han Jin smiled and said, "Okay, the business is over, let's order, I'm in for a treat today, you're welcome." ”
"Needless to say, we've wanted to eat big for a long time." Wu Qiwei said with a smile. Knowing that he had the opportunity to play an important role, he couldn't help but feel good.
Liu Qingyun also smiled, but he regretted it a little in his heart, not knowing whether his choice was right or wrong.
……
Han Jin then asked Chen Shuxuan to mention it to the top management of TVB. She was one of the top executives of TVB before, and she still has a lot of contacts within the TV station, and it is easy to help someone fight for a role to play.
Chen Shuxuan himself is also willing to sell Han Jin's favor, because he is now the darling of Huaxing Records, a cash cow, and the God of Wealth, so naturally he can't be offended lightly.
As soon as he said hello, Wu Qiwei sat on the starring role of "Demon Paradise", which is really "someone in the court is good to be an official"~ (To be continued!)
