After determining that Chen Qiming's English theme song was very suitable for the movie, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili immediately called Golden Harvest Company and notified them to pay money.

As the most popular in the Chinese music scene at present, even the four kings of Hong Kong have to temporarily avoid the existence of the edge, and the songs created by Chen Qiming are not something that can be obtained casually.

In order to invite Chen Qiming to compose the theme song and serve as the singer himself, Golden Harvest directly bid 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

Moreover, the million Hong Kong dollars obtained only the right to use the song, and the copyright of the song still belongs to Chen Qiming himself.

It can be said that it is not so simple to ask Chen Qiming to write songs and sing them.

That is, the budget of the movie "Red Fan Zone" is enough.

With a total investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, Golden Harvest has invested the most in Jackie Chan so far.

It is precisely because of the large investment and high expectations that Golden Harvest is willing to spend so much money to invite Chen Qiming to compose the theme song and sing it.

After receiving the phone call from Jackie Chan and Tang Jili, Golden Harvest transferred all the expenses to Chen Qiming's account that afternoon, and then arranged for someone to come over and take away the master tape of the song, just waiting for the film to be filmed and put into the movie after the production was completed.

And Chen Qiming's side, after Jiahe's people took away the recorded songs, they followed Jackie Chan and Tang Jili out together.

Today's Jackie Chan is very enthusiastic and has been waiting in the recording studio for several hours, just to invite Chen Qiming to dine with him after he has completely finished the song.

Although he originally planned to continue recording songs in the evening, Chen Qiming did not refuse.

Because Jackie Chan said that his godfather He Guanchang would be there.

Zou Wenhuai is also coming.

This made Chen Qiming feel that this was not a simple gathering of ordinary friends, but a gathering related to some business affairs, so after he finished the recording work in the afternoon, he rushed to the hotel where the dinner was located with Jackie Chan and Tang Jili.

There were not many people at the dinner, except for Jackie Chan and Zou Wenhuai, only He Guanchang, general manager of Golden Harvest, plus Chen Qiming and Tang Jili, a total of five people.

At the beginning of the dinner, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were very polite, praising Chen Qiming as the most promising superstar with huge global influence like Bruce Lee in recent years.

Facing the two bigwigs in the film industry, who are also seniors, Chen Qi was obviously very polite, and the two sides talked very happily, from movies to soundtracks, from Hong Kong and Taiwan to Europe and the United States.

It wasn't until the end of the dinner that Zou Wenhuai, an existence comparable to Run Run Shaw in the Hong Kong film industry, said his purpose.

"Xiao Chen, I heard that you have reached a contract with Time Warner to cooperate in films?"

As soon as he heard Zou Wenhuai's words, the doubts that Chen Qiming had kept in his heart all night were finally solved.

At first, Chen Qiming thought that Zou Wenhuai personally attended the dinner, probably to invite him to appear in a movie produced by Golden Harvest's company.

When he arrived at the dinner, he found that the other party didn't say a word about it, and he understood that this was not the reason.

Now, the truth is out.

It turned out to be a collaboration for Time Warner.

Just a few days ago, Chen Qiming's privately owned film production company Qiming Film and Television officially reached a cooperation with Time Warner, a subsidiary of Time Warner Group.

In the next three years, three projects will be jointly developed and invested.

Because Warner values Chen's potential in the international music scene, they are willing to give up the lead of the three projects in exchange.

Well, that is, in terms of investment, they are willing to invest in the big head or the small head, but the leading power is handed over to Qiming Film and Television, they are responsible for auxiliary production, and are responsible for the distribution of Europe and the United States.

Don't underestimate the production dominance of a movie.

The dominance of a movie is in the hands of different companies or different people, and the effect of shooting is completely different.

Look at Golden Harvest.

As the first and most important company in Hong Kong to the European and American markets.

They work with European and American film companies almost every few years to make films.

That's what Jackie Chan's movies are.

But without exception, except for the original Bruce Lee movie, Golden Harvest's cooperation with European and American film companies has basically been taken away by European and American companies.

Let's talk about Jackie Chan's "Detective Dragon".

The investment of this film Golden Harvest occupies the lion's majority, but because it is a cooperation with Hollywood film companies, most of the production teams are from Europe and the United States.

This led to Jackie Chan's idea of martial arts instruction being directly abandoned and replaced with Hollywood's three-legged cat action design.

Even because of this, Jackie Chan almost walked out.

And if this drama is led by Golden Harvest, assisted by Hollywood, and with Jackie Chan's talent for action design, this movie may not necessarily hit the streets in Europe and the United States.

It is precisely because of the importance of film dominance that Golden Harvest has been hoping to occupy a dominant position in cooperation with European and American companies in recent years, so that the company's generals can fully realize their potential.

It's a pity that for many years in a row, even with companies like New Line, they can't dominate, let alone Warner.

Therefore, after knowing that Chen Qiming has gained the dominance of the cooperation with Warner Pictures, it is strange that Golden Harvest will not move.

It's not just Golden Harvest.

According to Chen Qiming's estimate, I am afraid that it will not be long before large film and television companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan will come to the door and want to get a piece of the pie from him.

"There is such a thing, but Warner, although it is willing to give up the dominance of the film.

But in terms of investment and personnel help, I'm afraid it won't help much! ”

Time Warner is one of the seven largest in the United States, and it cannot be a charity.

Chen Qiming's record contract is indeed what they desperately need, but again, they can't give up too much profit because of it.

There is such an article in their agreement with Qiming Film and Television.

"Warner's investment and personnel help, and even the scale of distribution, will depend on the quality of the films that Qiming Film and Television produces."

Well, that is to say, if you want to get high investment and large-scale distribution and publicity, it depends on whether the movie script that Chen Qiming came up with can impress them.

If the movie script isn't compelling enough, Warner doesn't think it's profitable.

They will also invest money, but definitely not much, and will also reduce the allocation of other resources a lot.

In the same way, if the movie script is attractive, they will naturally increase the amount of investment and various resources such as publicity and promotion.

All in all, it's a collaboration that Warner isn't willing to take too many risks.

In this kind of cooperation, there will be many accidents, so many that Chen Qiming can not predict it.

"We know, so, are you willing to share the risk a little, bring Golden Harvest, and we will take the risk together!"

He Guanchang, who was next to him, helped his glasses and said.

After a pause, he continued: "Ming Tsai, you should know our company's production capabilities, and with us, the success of these three projects will only be higher!" ”

said, he also pointed to Jackie Chan, "Although Ah Long is not too famous in Hollywood, he still has a certain popularity with the video market in recent years."

When the time comes, he, or any actor under Golden Harvest, you can choose at will! ”
