Chen Qiming didn't know what was happening here with his best partner.

At this time, he had returned to the villa and was receiving guests.

This year, Pacific Film and Television's achievements in film and television are as good as ever.

produced such good films as "Fengyun 2", "Lone Agent 2" and "Resident Evil".

Among them, Resident Evil successfully opened a new series for the Pacific Ocean again.

What is certain is that in the next few years, this series will probably be one of the important projects of Pacific Film and Television.

In fact, the global box office of "Resident Evil" is not high.

The film invested about $30 million, and only earned more than $70 million at the global box office.

According to the law that the box office is three times the investment, and the investment company can make money, the box office of this film did not even allow Pacific to recoup its costs.

If it didn't make money, why did Pacific make this project a key project?

This is entirely because "Resident Evil" exploded in the disc market.

A few months ago, when "Resident Evil" lost money at the box office, all the Pacific executives, including Chen Qiming, actually meant to seal the project.

But who would have thought that after this film was released in theaters, it quickly ushered in a big explosion in the disc market in Europe and the United States.

In just three months, the film earned $110 million in North America.

Although the Pacific Ocean only received a small portion of the revenue from these discs, it was enough to make up for the show's losses and make the show profitable.

Well, it's not a small profit, after calculation, the disc share of all regions of the world in this drama is combined, plus the box office share, Pacific Film and Television will make a profit of 20 million US dollars on this film.

With a budget of 20 million US dollars, there are not many films in the world that can achieve such high profitability every year.

Therefore, after consulting with the rest of the company, Chen Qiming decided to start the production of "Resident Evil 2" immediately.

For this reason, he also called Theron specifically and asked her to come to Hong Kong, and Chen Qiming planned to sign a follow-up contract with her for multiple "Resident Evil" films at one time.

Chen Qiming's move is necessary.

Although Theron's ability to star in "Resident Evil" is entirely dependent on his connections.

But there's no denying that Theron did a great job in this play.

With her outstanding performance in this play, she has successfully attracted the attention of many Hollywood film and television companies.

At present, many companies are planning to invite her to make films.

In order to prevent Theron's salary from rising sharply in the future, "Resident Evil" can't afford to hire her, and in order to prevent the situation of Iron Man, Chen Qiming must prepare in advance and sign a contract with her for a whole series before Theron is really popular.

The so-called Iron Man situation is actually Robert Downey Jr.

In future memory, Marvel brought Downey in the trough and let him star in "Iron Man".

As a result, the result was that Donnie was on fire because of it.

And Marvel's contract with Downey is not too strict, which leads to the fact that after the filming of many consecutive Marvel movies, Downey's salary has risen to an astonishing hundreds of millions of dollars.

Marvel has to accept this, because Downey is already recognized as the Iron Man.

Replacing him will cause strong dissatisfaction among fans.

In the end, Marvel had to accept the amazing salary offer from Downey.

In the same way, "Resident Evil" is the same.

The script written by Chen Qiming is based on the later "Resident Evil" movie.

In a series, the main character will always be Alice.

Now, Theron has starred in Alice.

If you don't want to ask for a salary increase on the grounds that only she can play this role in the future when Theron becomes popular, Chen Qiming must take some precautions now.

Don't say anything about Cylon being his Chen Qiming woman.

Chen Qiming didn't believe this kind of thing the most.

He simply hasn't seen too many plots of falling in love and killing each other.

For the sake of money, brothers, and sons have all gone to court, and it has happened a lot in recent years.

Of course, Chen Qiming did all this just as a precaution.

It's not that he really thinks Theron would do that.

If he really didn't believe her, he had every chance of replacing her now.

Anyway, it's only one, and although replacing her will have an impact, it won't be particularly big.

In the villa, a group of people were eating barbecue, in addition to Chen Qiming himself, several of his friends were also there, Andy Lau, Zhang Yusheng, Jay Chou and Anita Mui who came with Andy Lau.

And then there's Charlize Theron.

Oh! and his little sister Chen Qirui.

This year, Chen Qirui went to university, because Chen Qiming's career focus is mainly on Hong Kong, so she applied for the University of Hong Kong and is now studying here.

As for Mom.

She didn't want to come.

In fact, Chen Qiming probably understands why.

The older generation basically has a strong homesickness plot.

No matter how developed they are, they tend to stay where they grew up.

Therefore, she did not come to Hong Kong, but continued to stay in Taipei.

"Brother, you're so amazing! I found a foreign girl as a girlfriend. ”

There was only a foreigner in the audience, and Charlize was still beautiful, which attracted Chen Qirui to look at her frequently.

After watching it for a while, he ran to Chen Qiming's side and muttered quietly.

"Little kids, what do you know, go away."

Chen Qiming's face was flat.

"I'm not a kid anymore, I'm in college."

Hearing Chen Qiming say that she was a child, Chen Qirui was suddenly unhappy, made a grimace at Chen Qiming, and then turned around and ran to Andy Lau.

"Brother Hua, you can remember what my mother told you before, you have to take care of my brother.

Look at him, the foreign girls are all brought home. ”

"Hahaha......"

Her words caused everyone to laugh, and Zhang Yusheng couldn't help but smile and asked, "What?" You don't like your brother socializing with foreigners? ”

"I don't like it!" Chen Qirui did not hesitate to say that she didn't like Chen Qiming to find a foreigner as a sister-in-law.

Chen Qiming didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Qirui, chatted with Charlize who seemed very lonely in English, and then walked to Anita Mui with a barbecue.

"Sister Mei, we shouldn't have drunk together for a long time!"

"Two years? Three years? I can't remember. Anita Mui smiled.

"Maybe two years! The last time was at your birthday party. Chen Qi recalled.

"It should be!" Anita Mui nodded.

Then the two fell silent.

Speaking of which, Chen Qiming and Anita Mui have dealt a lot, but the two have always only nodded their heads.

If it weren't for Andy Lau, Anita Mui probably wouldn't have appeared in Chen Qiming's villa today.

is also because they are not particularly familiar, so the two of them can't find a topic to talk about for a while.

"Actually, I came here today mainly to ask for your help." Anita Mui was silent for a while and took the initiative to speak.

"You say!"

"I'm preparing a new album here, but the title song has been dissatisfied, I want to ask you to write me one, I wonder if you can help here?"
