Chapter 198 Ambition
On October 28, "Dancing with the Dragon" was officially released, and the scene was still very grand, but the next box office was not as good as "The Legend of 500 Million Detective Raylo". Although it is a happy comedy movie, the script is not bad, but now this kind of film is very popular. Everyone plays so much. There are too many of the same type in a year, and like The biographical film "The Biography of 500 Million Detective Raylo" has just emerged.
Twenty days after its release, it received more than 3,8 million yuan at the box office. Although it is not much compared with the previous one, it is still an eye-catching number and enough to get a place in this year's top ten box office.
Such a dazzling achievement almost made Chen Jin sit in the position guaranteed at the box office in an instant, not directly approaching "double Monday", but already sitting in the same position as them, at least, in the current situation.
Or, on the other hand, it is enough to explain the problem. Chen Jin's salary in "The Biography of 500 Million Detective Lei Luo" is 11 million, and "Dance with the Dragon" is also a competitive remuneration signed, but this time it was discussed by Chen Zichen. The specific details are not clear, but the result is that Chen Jin's book has an additional 6 million.
Moreover, because of the success of Chen Jin's competitive film remuneration, this has now become a trend. Some actors have also begun to talk about relevant contracts with film companies. As for film companies, they are also willing to discuss on this basis. After all, not everyone is likely to guarantee a big sale. It is naturally good to sell well. Give more. It doesn't matter. If the box office is poor, the loss can also be reduced.
However, this kind of competitive film remuneration is only implemented among those super celebrities, such as Brother Fa, Master Xing, and Hua Zai. Of course, Brother Jackie Chan and Master Xing often pay for their own films now, and they have a box office guarantee, so they make more money. As for the others, the usual remuneration is originally small, and the film company is too lazy to talk to you.
The film sold well again. The film contract was unexpectedly full of Chen Zichen's desk, but Chen Jin was rushing with the production of Cantonese records. Fortunately, by the beginning of November, the film "The Legend of the New Brother of the Casino Tycoon" was finally over and entered the post-production, but this kind of film was also fast. Unlike some blockbuster post-production, which takes several months or even half a year, this film will be released at the end of the year or early next year.
During this period, Chen Jin also made a film, but it was a complete guest appearance, that is, the famous movie Night Banquet of a Rich Family, which was a public welfare film for the flood in East China in June this year. In addition, when the East China flood occurred, Chen Jin also donated 10 million of the largest number of Hong Kong artists.
In addition to movies, the production of Cantonese records is also very smooth. It will be able to come out in the second half of the month, and the rehearsal of the year-end concert is also very successful. Now it has basically taken shape. The rest is perfection and contact, thanks to the help of my brother and sister Fang.
When he saw that the days could start to be idle again, two movies came to him at the same time, and it was two acquaintances who came to him. The first one was the famous Brother Fa.
Brother Fa took the initiative to find the record company. Chen Jin was in the post-production of the song at that time. He was a little absorbed. Although he knew that someone came behind him, he didn't plan to pay attention to it. It was not until he finished a song that he turned his head and found that Brother Fa was looking at him with a smile.
Stand up and touch my nose with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'm more likely to be distracted!"
Brother Fa patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "That's good, otherwise how can a good work come out for everyone," he added, "I just came here too. I hope I didn't disturb you."
The two of them don't need too much politeness. Let Zhang Weixiong make a good cup of tea for Brother Fa. Chen Jin looked at the large file bag in his hand and guessed something. He laughed and said, "You have to go there in person. If you have anything, just call me."
Brother Fa smiled and said, "Don't you know you've been busy recently? I heard that you are so busy that you don't even have time to sleep. I'm just free, so I came to see you!" Chen Jin was busy, but he was busy for half a month when he came back. That was because there was too much work squeezed before, and everything was crowded together.
I laughed, turned to the topic, and handed the large file bag in my hand to Chen Jin. "I heard that you haven't picked up the movie appointment recently. Look at this. Let's work together if it's appropriate."
He didn't say it was inappropriate. Since he came to the door, he naturally planned to cooperate with Chen Jin, so it was a little hypocritical. Brother Fa and Chen Jin had a good relationship, and there was no need to say those superfluous words.
Chen Jin casually glanced at the words "Spicy Hand Detective". He is very familiar with this movie, but the protagonist of this movie is Brother Fa. Then, the role he wants to play is probably the one played by Liang Chaowei before.
How to put it, the whole film can be regarded as Brother Fa's one-man show, and it is also the best interpretation of director Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics. As for the role Chen Jin wants to take over, it is not too outstanding.
However, it is a good experience to be able to cooperate with Brother Fa once, and also cooperate with Wu Yusen, an international director, to learn his shooting skills and experience in violent aesthetics. Nod and don't have to read the script. "OK, Brother Fa, your recommendation should not be bad, what? Just let me know when it's time."
Brother Fa was stunned, but he also understood what he meant. He smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Actually, there was already someone in this role before, but I think you are better. I also want to cooperate with you once. For this reason, we also changed the script and added some drama for you," he blinked at Chen Jin and smiled. He said, "I also want to see if the effect of our cooperation can be more surprising."
Chen Jin understands the meaning of this. Not to mention Brother Fa, Chen Jin's guarantee of the box office now is absolutely horrible. The purpose of adding the role is naturally to make the performance of both of them to the extreme, so that the effect will make fans sell accounts. Otherwise, Brother Fa will be happy alone. Chen Jin's fans may not be very happy. .
With a smile, Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his hand and said a sincere sentence, "I'm looking forward to cooperating with you. I'm sure it will be great." Brother Fa also smiled and said, "Well, you don't have to audition for your acting skills. We will start in five days, and someone will inform you then."
In less than ten minutes, Brother Fa left. Sometimes things are so simple. Everyone has a good friendship and are busy with each other. They don't need those empty things. After saying that, they leave. They are busy with each other. When it's time to play, just have fun together.
Brother Fa left not long ago. At noon, Chen Jinzheng planned to go to dinner with Chen Zichen. Yuan Kui suddenly called him and said that he would be invited to lunch. There was a martial arts movie to discuss with him.
Chen Jin didn't think much about it. He cooperated happily before. The other party was a senior. It was a little inappropriate for Yuan Kui to invite him, so he asked Yuan Kui and found that he and the other two were here, so he invited them to go to Linhaiyuan next to him for dinner.
The other two are Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Bin. Both of them are Wu Zhisheng. In the process, Xiaodong is more famous. Especially after he followed Xu Ke, he grew up rapidly. Now he is also a leading director and martial arts finger in Hong Kong.
In addition to Yuan Kui and Chen Jin, the other two and Chen Jin only met once at the last Golden Statue Award ceremony. After a few greetings and ordering, Yuan Kui said, "AKING, we have a good ancient costume martial arts movie here is about to start shooting. I think you should It will be better."
Then Cheng Xiaodong took out a script from his briefcase and handed it to Chen Jin, "I heard Brother Yuan say that KING's skills are very high, and the movements are also very elegant. I want to try to cooperate with you. You can read the script first. If there is any problem, we can discuss it in detail."
"Smiling Proud Jianghu: Invincible in the East", Chen Jin took a look at the title of the film and didn't expect it to be this film. This is really famous. However, this is still a film with a very strong personal color. It can be said that this is a landmark film that has achieved Lin Qingxia. As a result, Lin Qingxia really She stepped into the ranks of super red stars. Before, it was not that Qingxia was not popular, but absolutely not so red that she was purple.
This can be seen from the quantity and quality of her previous plays in Hong Kong.
Those who have seen this movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Invincible in the East". To be honest, most people only remember Lin Qingxia, who played the Invincible East. I'm afraid there are not many impressions about Jet Li, who plays Linghu Chong.
What Chen Jin lacks now is experience. An authentic ancient costume martial arts drama is still quite powerful for Chen Jin. Martial arts dramas are different from real fighting. The subtle keys and differences need to be well experienced by Chen Jin, and the styles of Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Bin are just different, even diametrically. Different styles, in this regard, this is also a very attractive condition.
After turning over the book a little, Chen Jin smiled at the director Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Bin, "Please ask Director Cheng and Director Yuan for more advice, but I just received a book before, and I may need to communicate more about the arrangement of the itinerary."
Cheng Xiaodong smiled and said, "This is a small problem. I didn't expect you to agree so happily. Before I came here, I thought about a lot of reasons and thought about how to impress you." Chen Jin's book is also famous now. Basically, ninety-nine out of a hundred were beaten back. Moreover, it seems that there is a backer behind him, and no one dares to force him.
The most important point is that people really have the strength to choose books. Look at the movies they play, not to mention their acting skills, the box office is enough for all film companies to praise him as God. By the way, there is a film company that doesn't make movies to make money!
Chen Jin didn't take Cheng Xiaodong's jokes to heart. With him, more factors should still be considered at the box office. Otherwise, it is completely unnecessary for Yuan Kui to be an intermediary, because there are obvious traces of human feelings in it.
The two sides are not familiar with each other, but the topic is still easy to find. Except for Chen Zichen, Chen Jin and the four of them are all knowledgeable martial arts. Although some of them are just ostentatious and talkative, Chen Jin can still communicate with them, because it contains the experience and technology of martial arts finger, and Cheng Xiaodong and others also saw something from Chen Jin. It's called real kung fu. When it comes to the rise, Chen Jin's casual play is enough for them to be stunned. That's a real martial arts stunt!
This meal was very happy, and everyone's relationship was closer. Even some of Cheng Xiaodong's worries before he came were completely gone. What was left was excitement. The so-called hearing is believing. After seeing Chen Jin's kung fu, he felt that he had finally found a martial arts that could make him elegant and gorgeous. The idea is to be the best action actor, or Chen Jin is the prototype.
After dinner, Chen Jin and Chen Zichen went to the company's office for a short lunch break. The two of them lay on the spacious sofa. Chen Zichen squeezed into Chen Jin's arms, with a pleasant face and said lazily, "I just didn't have time to tell you that the Kanto TV station finally admitted defeat. Although it was still a settlement outside the court, the conditions were all It was done according to your request, and the statement of apology was officially broadcast on major TV stations in the morning.
He giggled again and rubbed into his arms, like a cute kitten. "This time he got 50 million yuan. You guys seem to be really a lucky star. It's so easy to make money."
It is impossible for Kanto TV to really wait for the court's ruling. Under the extremely unfavorable circumstances of the first trial, although it was delayed to the next time, on the day when the court session was about to open, they finally conceded defeat. Some of the 1 billion yen of compensation were from the lawyer's, and Chen Jin once again made a large amount of money.
Of course, money is actually a small matter. The matter ended with this result, which not only made Chen Jin raise his eyebrows, but also made him rise again. In addition to stimulating the record, there was a small big sale. No matter what media, he was a little a little awe of Chen Jin, and this, from Hong Kong to Taiwan, and now to Japan.
I whispered, you and me, Chen Zichen grabbed Chen Jin's unyalty hands, gasped slightly, his pink face was colorful, her eyes were flowing, and her charm was rippling, but she suddenly said, "Honey, why don't we open a film company? Anyway, we have made so much money now."
Jin Chen is really rich now, and he can even say angrily that his company makes more money than many big companies. Although Chen Jin is a singer, Chen Jin earns 100 million yuan a year. Jin Chen naturally earns more.
Of course, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that this company is Chen Zichen's. She now has everything for Chen Jin's sake. Chen Jin wants to act, but he is picky, but there are only a few books in Hong Kong, and most of the good scripts are performed by her own company, and few of them are taken out.
In this case, the best way is to invest in a film company and find your favorite script and director. Chen Jin is not only rich, but also has a box office guarantee. There is no problem at all, and he can count it in one fell swoop.
