Chapter 289 Hollywood's reaction

James's consideration is just an excuse. It's an arbitrary plan. He doesn't want to be too eager. That's what a young man does. Unfortunately, this ghost doesn't understand. Chen Jin is as determined as he is. Of course, this kind of certainty is not because he is sure of the box office, but because he doesn't care.

When James left, Wang Jing first glanced at Chen Jin and shook her head with a wry smile, but he didn't say anything, because it was not easy to say anything at this time. She looked at Chen Zichen again and said goodbye first.

Chen Jin just smiled and didn't say anything, let alone keep him. Instead, after he went out, he looked at Chen Zichen and spread out his hands, "You can scold, baby. Of course, it's okay to fight!"

Chen Zichen grabbed his hand and bit it fiercely, leaving a row of neat tooth marks, and then said coquettishly, "Say it, give me a reason. Anything is fine, but there must be."

"Kiss my wife, you seem to have become stupid!" Chen Jin grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, bowed his head and sniffed on her body. The fragrance was intoxicating. He muttered, "Anyway, even if it is less than 40 million US dollars, calculated at 10 million US dollars, 30%, we also have an income of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to the box office in Hong Kong, the balance of income and expenditure is It's almost done. If you earn more, you will earn more. In fact, you don't care if you earn more or less. If it's less than 10 million, it doesn't make much sense to us.

"We need to understand a premise that we don't make money through this film, but through this opportunity to understand, judge and confirm something. Therefore, we also need to let the world see the hope of making a lot of money."

"Global did not refuse, which actually shows a certain attitude. At this time, it is time to lead him to the bait. Then, think again, after 40 million US dollars, 50 million US dollars, 60 million US dollars, how to calculate it? With the sharp decline of the percentage, the benefits he actually got are not much worse, except It has to reach 70 million US dollars, so if it costs 40 million, he may work harder.

"Of course, he is likely not to choose this plan, but choose a global plan to ensure that he will get more benefits, but it doesn't matter. He fell into my plan at the beginning. As long as he accepts this gambling agreement, he will naturally work hard to promote the film, whether in the United States or the world. The purpose of promoting this film has been achieved. If it is as high as 70 million or more than 120 million, or less than 40 million or 100 million US dollars, what about giving him more benefits? Anyway, what we want is different from them, isn't we?

Chen Zichen curled her lips and recognized him in her heart, but she didn't let him go. She held up his head and didn't let him bite and bite on his neck, which made her have no idea. Moreover, when she bit out the mark, she had to change her clothes again. "It's a lie. This is what you just thought of, otherwise why didn't you tell me before?"

Chen Jin did not deny it. He bit her mouth reluctantly. "Yes, I'm really going to grit my teeth and promise him to divide it by 33% or even 55%, but I didn't expect him to be more greedy than I thought. In that case, let's make it more exciting. If you think about it Get more and take greater risks. This is the principle of business investment, isn't it, baby!"

Sure enough, as Chen Jin thought, James chose the global box office share plan, and under the constraints of the contract, he immediately began global publicity. According to the requirements, the country with the slowest overseas release cannot be later than the day before Christmas.

On December 6, the third day of Chen Jin's return to Hong Kong, "The Jedi Cop" finally met everyone after more than five months of brewing. It is said that the investment has reached a staggering 60 million Hong Kong dollars, aiming at overseas super blockbusters. Because of Chen Jin's participation, the continuous publicity and various At the first time of the film's release, all the tickets were sold out in the last three days.

The premiere was very lively. There were a lot of people coming, and they were all big names. He had enough face. However, when Chen Jin answered the entertainment reporters's tireless questions about movie evaluation, movie box office, overseas distribution and so on, he said a simple sentence, "Wait after watching the movie, and then wait for half a month. He answered everyone's questions perfunctorily and didn't want to talk more.

At the beginning, the tickets were pre-sold for three days, which is the box office of up to 15 million Hong Kong dollars. This is already a super high record. If it continues to be fierce in the future, there will be no problem with 60 to 70 million yuan. That is to say, this is a good start, even exceeding expectations.

The quality of the box office depends on the media's reports, which is the biggest factor affecting and guiding the public to the cinema. At the beginning, you only saw the trailer and couldn't make too many judgments. Now, after seeing the full version of the movie first, you can finally vent.

After watching the movie, the first thing I thought of was the word 60 million. Obviously, this is a good film. However, I don't think he is much different from other Hong Kong films, except for the Westernized witty dialogue. Therefore, I doubt whether Chen Jin's investment of 60 million will shrink in the end - Film Weekly

Although whether it is publicity or positioning, the first protagonist is Chen Jin, I think the more outstanding one is Zhang Weijian. His eye-catching performance makes us see his unimaginable performance, and it is also because of him that this film is more interesting - "Movie Eye"

I think he is the first young man to truly understand the essence of Hollywood. I'm really happy to see this. No matter from the scene, dialogue, all kinds of behaviors and so on, of course, I have to praise him. He has made the best use of his efforts, so that the whole film has a clear Hong Kong mark. But it's not too abrupt. I'm looking forward to his next movie - Uncle Qi is still not a director, but he is actually the soul of the film. From the script to the final editing, it is actually his final decision. I don't want to say too much praise. The only question is whether King Chen really plans to enter Hollywood? If it's true, then will we lose him after this success? - He Zidong of the Oriental Daily has 60 million yuan. Although it is a three-day pre-sale ticket, he has actually got 15 million yuan. The world is really crazy. Is it true that he plays off his body after opening his shirt? Is it so charming? Well, I have to admit that I was drooling when I watched it, but I have to appeal, ladies, calm down, that can only be watched, and can't relieve my glut - "Entertainment Infinity" Sha Gang Wolf, which I have been looking forward to for a long time, didn't even have a little, and Wang Zuxian showed a pair of beautiful legs. The scene is the most exciting. Can this also be called a western film? Disdainking King Chen, you deceived my feelings - Entertainment Weekly Ke Fan's media on the second day was full of different views. However, it didn't say that it was not a good film. The only thing I disagreed was that he didn't think he was worth 60 million Hong Kong dollars. However, the audience didn't care about this in almost all the cinemas. In random interviews, 90% of people said that the movie was great and would be recommended to family or friends.

A week after its release in Hong Kong, under Chen Jin's expectation, Universal Pictures began to release the film worldwide, the earliest in North America. However, on the first weekend, the film was only released in less than 150 theaters.

However, the next wonderful thing happened. Although it is unknown, the global publicity is very powerful, but the time is too short and has not produced much effect. But that's it is it. Only less than 150 cinemas have been released, but the box office has a revenue of more than 42 million US dollars.

That is to say, the score of the single hall is as high as more than 28,000 US dollars. Good boy, this is amazing. It barely squeezed into the top 20 of the single hall results in North American cinemas. You know, this is a Hong Kong movie. The most important thing is that now that the Christmas schedule is coming, and a lot of films are crowded together.

With such achievements, Universal suddenly became full of confidence. At the beginning of the second week, the number of theaters was 722. By the weekend of the second week, the box office of this week had accumulated more than 20.33 million US dollars.

The weekly box office was 20.33 million US dollars. In the week before Christmas, it made a breakthrough in the top ten of the North American box office list and ranked ninth. At this time, the Hong Kong-produced film "The Jedi Men" finally attracted the attention of North American film critics and audiences.

Wonderful witty dialogue, compact plot, and even their expressions and actions have a strong American flavor. If you don't tell me, I really suspect that this is a Hong Kong movie from the far east. By the way, their action design is wonderful, which is probably their own feature - Hollywood Report

A movie like "Booster", but the rhythm is faster and the dialogue is more wonderful. This is really a miracle in the East - "America Today"

Injecting new elements into partner police and gangster films, it rejuvenates. At the same time, he also boldly explores the moral theme of cinematography and the limits of hot temperature - The Chicago Sun

The counterattack of Hong Kong movies, two guys with completely different styles, one is handsome and jealous, and then plays with his **; the other is so witty, and he also shows his greatest characteristics. I have to say that these two guys did a good job, which is also worth going to the cinema. Two-hour Asian film - Rolling Stone magazine.

The plot is watertight, the action design is at its peak, and with the wonderful dialogue and the last super scene, this is really an excellent Hong Kong movie. Therefore, I have more expectations for Hong Kong movies - "Entertainment Focus"
