King of Gossip

Chapter 288 Do you dare to play with me

On the second day after Wang Jing washes the dust, according to rumors, Zhang Yu, the boss of the Raptor Gang, exposed the horse below on this day and arrested him at a lover in the countryside, and then reported it to his men and the public. A total of dozens of crimes were collected, large and small, and a death penalty was directly given. .

When cutting the film with Wang Jing at night, both of them were still sighing that the hearts of these officials were much fiercer than theirs, and the means were much hotter. This is called a real fatal blow, leaving no room.

Therefore, Chen Jin was very careful next. He was not afraid of ten thousand. He still had the ability to protect himself, but Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin were weak women. If they played with yin, he would regret it too late.

Fortunately, Mayor Hou may not be so stingy. Of course, it is more likely to find out Chen Jin's identity and put up with it for the sake of his future.

At the beginning of December, the shooting in Qingdao finally ended, and the rest was some scenes in Hong Kong. Chen Jin was finally relieved, and "Jedera" also completed all the later stages. He was ready to take a walk out to see if it was a mule or a horse, and carried out the final identification.

To be honest, Chen Jin felt that the one he shot was much better than the original one, such as clothing and prop photography, especially the kung fu fighting scene, which was more than twice as wonderful, and all kinds of drag racing stunts also had a sharper performance. Perhaps the only thing to be tested was his and Zhang Weijian's funny skills. They Whether those dialogues can be accepted by the American and overseas audiences.

As early as the beginning of November, when the shooting was just completed, the first edited trailer had been released on Hong Kong TV stations and outdoor TV advertisements. At the moment before it was finally made, the second edition, the ultimate trailer, began to be broadcast on TV media on December 1.

I haven't seen the whole picture, and the media in Hong Kong can't make too many comments. However, from the trailer of more than two minutes, I can always see something, and it's not difficult to write something.

It's nondescript, or is it a different way to bring you an unexpected surprise. I watched the short film very fascinated and very happy. I hope it's the latter! - "Hot Spot of the Week"

King Chen's level seems to have improved again. He began to move closer to Hollywood. In just over two minutes, he showed us enough highlights, such as dialogue, acting skills, and drag racing. They are all so wonderful and witty. At this moment, I can't wait - He Zidong of the Oriental Daily.

Well, I admit that the investment of 60 million yuan can get at least 50 million yuan at the box office, but what about the rest? To be honest, King Chen showed his figure and charm in the movie, especially when he opened his fancy shirt to show his perfect upper body, which could definitely attract those women and some men, but that's 60 million, my God! What should I say! - "Entertainment Infinite" Sha Ganglang must say that this is a play of two men. For the first time, women are actually dispensable. Although King Chen still put his most beloved women in the movie, it is only a proof of his love and has nothing to do with the movie. I really want to say that he is going to shoot a Western film. Is there any exciting scene in it? I'm looking forward to it - although Ke Fan can't see too much content in Entertainment Weekly, the two trailers are wonderful and eye-catching enough to slowly shift the audience's attention to the Jedi Cop. When it is really released, There will be a trend.

The film will be released soon. Chen Jin's first thing now is to accompany Chen Guobao, accompanied by James, the global senior vice president of Universal Pictures, and others to watch the final edited film. Of course, Wang Jing and Chen Zichen are also there.

After nearly two hours of the movie, Chen Jin was really satisfied. He felt that he had done a good job. Even Chen Guobao and others were all happy. However, only Mr. James and others were calm and could not see much emotion.

When he came out to the small conference room outside, James still shook hands with Chen Jin and others calmly and said a few good words, but his expression made people feel more polite and perfunctory.

Wang Jing and others tightened first, but Chen Jin turned around. His evil six knowledge made him suddenly see a trace of joy in the eyes of the vice president, although it was well hidden. With the discovery, looking at his followers, there are some clues, especially under Chen Jin's careful observation, which can't be hidden at all.

Next is to talk about the details of the release. James looked embarrassed. It seemed that he reluctantly agreed to release overseas because of the relationship between Jinchen Group and Universal Records. However, he asked for 60% of the film's revenue.

Nana's, it's really too bullying. In the North American film distribution system, distributors only charge 50%. In Hong Kong, the highest is 33%, even if it is 55%. Chen Jin thinks that this is the first time, and it is an old friend of Universal, and he wants to grit his teeth and agree.

I didn't expect these guys to be so greedy. In this case, Chen Jin also risked, "Mr. James, if you think it is difficult to release this film, we can find 21st Century Fox. Their business in Asia is very good, and we also have an investment film. Farewell My Concubine is negotiating with them.

Looking at James' changed face, Chen Jin sneered in his heart, and the surface was still faint. "Mr. James, I think I have to make a statement, because this film was independently invested by our company, and because the cooperation with your company's record was very pleasant, I tried to cooperate with our film for the first time. It's not that no one can cooperate or pray for anything. I think our relationship is equal.

James was calm and smiled, "KING, I understand what you mean. It's not that it's difficult to release. We at Universal are still capable of this, but you should know that if the final box office of the film is very poor, it will be difficult for Universal to recover the cost of the distribution fee in the early publicity, and even I hope you can understand that it's all lost.

This is indeed a very legitimate reason. It was forcibly released, but the final box office was not ideal. It was not uncommon to see that there were no trousers, but Chen Jin was even more not in a hurry. With a smile, Chen Zichen knew at a glance that the bad guy had a bad idea again, "OK, Mr. James, then let's have a very simple one. It has been agreed that on the standard of 40 million US dollars, if the box office revenue in the United States is between 40 million and 50 million, then the distribution fee is calculated as 60%. If it exceeds 50 million, you can only charge 50%, and if it reaches 60 million US dollars, it is 40%. Of course, if it is less than 40 million, I I'm willing to pay you 70% of the issuance fee. What do you think of this idea?

When everyone thought he was crazy, he said, "Or, based on the global box office, the middle line is 100 million US dollars, 100 million US dollars, 70%, 110 million, 50 percent, 120 million, 40%, and finally 4%. Ten is the final point, how about it?

This is equivalent to a very simple commercial gambling agreement, and it is also equivalent to a competitive box office share. For the unknown, this is a considerable risk. Of course, if you win, the benefits will naturally be eye-catching.

Chen Jin is actually not sure about anything, but he doesn't care. He just needs to do his best to carry out the distribution work around the world. As a result, he has tried his best. Let's talk about it.

James was very surprised. He actually likes the movie "The Jedi" very much, which is very good, whether it is soaring lines or all kinds of fighting scenes, racing stunts, even blasting scenes and so on.

Of course, the script is also very good, but what James appreciates most is that this is not a Hong Kong movie that imitates Hollywood and then makes it nondescript. He already has the essence of Hollywood movies, and can even make the audience forget that this is a film starring a yellow-skinned Asian in a compact plot.

However, this is still a Hong Kong movie. With this layer of skin outside, a lot of audience will be lost. This is the potential decision of the Yankees. There is a prejudice in their bones. They only like to watch what they make. Other people's movies are really It's hard to recognize.

The box office of 50 million US dollars in the United States and 110 million US dollars worldwide, the distribution fee is 50%. Otherwise, there will be a high distribution fee of 60% or even 70%.

When James heard this condition, he actually agreed, which was also the decision of his Yankee. It was difficult for him to believe the super high box office performance Chen Jin said. You know, it is difficult to get even if it is an authentic Hollywood movie.

However, he remained calm and just smiled faintly, "KING, have you really considered it? Although I appreciate your adventurous spirit and your self-confidence, I have to remind you that sometimes it's better to be cautious." Of course, he is not kind-hearted, but excited. He knows very well the unbeatable mentality of young people nowadays.

Sure enough, Chen Jin was obviously "in the middle" and shook his head with a smile. "Mr. James, what I need now is your answer. I think the days before and after Christmas should be a very good time."

James stopped talking at this time. He stood up and shook hands with Chen Jin with a smile. "OK, KING, let me think about it for a day and contact the headquarters. See you tomorrow."
