Chapter 291 Do you dare to take it all?
At that time, when Chen Jin gave the book of Jedi Men to Mr. He Guanchang, there was a psychology to compensate him. After all, he messed up the matter of City Hunter, and he was also a little embarrassed.
Unfortunately, he said that his proposal to invest 40 million Hong Kong dollars made He Guanchang withdraw directly. He didn't even have the idea of paying half of each of Chen Jin. Otherwise, as long as he paid 20 million yuan, even if the final use exceeded the standard, Chen Jin would naturally pay.
According to current estimates, the world's final total box office of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars is not a big problem, and according to the previous gambling agreement signed with Universal, if there is 1 billion yuan, it will exceed 120 million US dollars, and the final box office score is as high as 600 million Hong Kong dollars.
The actual investment is only 50 million, but the total income is as much as 600 million Hong Kong dollars. What kind of concept is this? It can make people crazy and make a joke. Even if you take a ticket to grab the branches of HSBC in Hong Kong and the head office together, it is about 600 million yuan.
He Guanchang was the first to come forward and arch his hand first. "Congratulations, King, you have won this time and raised the prestige of my Hong Kong movies." Finally, he patted Chen Jin's shoulder. "I didn't expect it. It's really terrible. Now that I think about it, I can't even sleep well."
Chen Jin is also a little proud now. Although he is copied, can he go to him? Isn't it unique to be able to copy? He also wants to copy all of Hollywood. Unfortunately, some of them are not good enough, and some of them have copyrights for a long time. He smiled, "It's just a small matter. Uncle He, take your time."
"It's not a big deal!" He Guanchang smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, I didn't tell the guys on the board of directors that if I said that I lost 400 to 500 million Hong Kong dollars out of thin air, they could eat me raw."
At this time, Brother Qiang finally couldn't help saying, "Speaking of which, it's our fault that we don't trust this guy very much. In fact, what he did all the way is not surprising."
Andy Lau leaned on Jacky Cheung's shoulder. "It's useless to say anything now. At that time, he asked me to invest some money with Xueyou at that time. Now I think that if I was cruel and lost thousands of dollars casually, I wouldn't have made a lot of money."
Zhang Xueyou didn't give him face, "Go, you still have eight million. At that time, even if it was one hundred and eighty thousand, you were distressed. I believed in KING, but I just didn't want to invest." This guy is also trying to have a happy mouth. Seeing that he regrets to death when he thinks about it, he knows that he is also in pain now.
Chen Zichen was also there. Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin did not lean in front of Chen Jin. More than 20 people sat at the entrance of the hall. Zhang Weixiong and two brothers stared at the door. When someone came, they asked Chen Jin and Chen Zichen to greet them.
I'm afraid that there are all kinds of jealousy in the presence, and I can see it without covering it up, but that's normal. It's really true that Chen Jin and Jinchen Group have made a lot of money this time. It's really that they can't make money for several years or even a lifetime.
Brother Fa patted Zhang Weijian on the other side of the shoulder, "Kid, you are so red now. I heard that your value has risen to the top, and you are directly in line with Hollywood."
Because of this film, Zhang Weijian is really red and purple, which is related to his excellent performance. It is said that the original play was only three or four hundred thousand, but now it has quietly risen to nearly two million, which is almost close to the level of Andy Lau.
Zhang Weijian learned a lot from Chen Jin and slowly became steady. He arched his hand and said, "Brother Fa, don't laugh at me. I rely on the opportunity given to me by Brother KING. It taught me a lot before I got some results."
Brother Fa smiled, patted him on the shoulder to express his appreciation, turned his head and asked Chen Jin, "A KING, look at you are like this now, you should not make a pure Hong Kong film again. Also, the film you mentioned before should already have a script, right?"
At this time, Sister Fang sighed, "If KING didn't make a Hong Kong film, it would be a pity for Hong Kong movies," asked Andy Lau beside him, "He had five of the top ten box office lists last year, right?"
Andy Lau counted in his heart and shook his head, "More than that, there are six of them," and then he pulled up his finger. "The Jedi Cop just now has 66.63 million, ranking first, and then "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Invincible in the East" 55.51 million, "Deer Tripod of the Imperial City Hegemony" 53.63 million, "Deer Tripod" The Dragon Sect is 50.76 million, which is the second to fourth.
"Then there is Zhou Xingchi's "Death judge", 49.88 million, "Happy Family" 48.99 million, followed by A KING and Fa Ge's "Spicy Hand Detective" 48.89 million, followed by A KING's "The Supreme Invincible of the Casino Tycoon", 38.6 million, Zhou Xingchi's "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi" "Children" 31.51 million, "Falling from School Weilong 2" 30.63 million.
My brother said in surprise, "Wow, that doesn't mean that King and Stephen Chow occupy the top ten box office in Hong Kong."
Brother Qiang nodded with a smile, "But A Xing's stamina is not enough. A KING has marched to Hollywood, and the first step is very successful." Sister Fang said very fairly, "Even so, Zhou Xingchi is very powerful."
In the original time and space, the Hong Kong entertainment industry in 1992 belonged to Stephen Chow. In that year, he occupied seven places in the top ten box office lists, and he also won the top five by himself, and that year was the famous Stephen Chow.
Later, although Master Xing was silent for a while, he made a comeback with blockbusters such as Shaolin Football and Yangtze River No. 7 to let everyone see his demeanor again. He was also a superstar in the film industry who was able to sit on an equal footing with Jackie Chan in Hong Kong. This was returned to Hong Kong the year after next. At that time, it was shown in the form of him riding a sedan chair and Jackie Chan riding into the horse racing track in Hong Kong.
Chen Jinruo thought about it, but Brother Qiang patted him on the shoulder. "KING, I heard that you are going to shoot a big production again soon. This time, I can tell you in advance that I will pay a share of the money."
He Guanchang couldn't calm down at this time. "Slow down, KING. You have already agreed to cooperate with me once. Opportunities don't wait for anyone. You can take my old man seriously."
It's not easy for Hua Zai to compete with these two, but he sat next to Chen Jin and kept squeezing his eyebrows. Obviously, he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
"I won't give up Hong Kong films. This is our honor in Hong Kong." Chen Jinfei suddenly said such a sentence in response to the question, and then slowly said, "However, Hong Kong films are now on the decline. Now we have to go out, then learn to integrate other people's good things, and then slowly strengthen ourselves, and finally let Hong Kong films really shine around the world."
This is his real idea. There is nothing else to do whether others agree with him or not, and they won't care. It's just to say that if there are like-minded people, everyone will slowly gather together and work hard, and this has nothing to do with the topic in front of them.
After saying that, he turned back and said, "The film Brother Qiang just talked about was the idea that I had when I started shooting Jedi, but later I chose JediMen and put it aside for the time being, but I didn't mean to give up."
"To some extent, this also means that in my opinion, the risk index of this film is higher than that of the Jedi Police. Although, I think this film is better than that of the Jedi Police. If it is recognized, our harvest will be more fruitful. For this reason, I have to make it clear to you that the wind Insurance and opportunity coexist. If I lose, I won't bear any responsibility.
He Guanchang first asked, "You should have written the script. Can you show me first?" Obviously, the old man is not too impulsive, and he still does things steadily.
Chen Jin nodded, "The script was completed more than a month ago, but I was not free at that time, and I was not sure about something," and then shrugged his shoulders regretfully. "I didn't bring the script with me, but I can simply tell you about the general situation."
"At the beginning, McCauley and Chris robbed a truck full of bonds and successfully got a million-dollar bond from the previously planned goal, the arms dealer Van Zant. However, at this time, the new Wayne Gro killed a guard. In order to protect the safety of his group of people, McCauley tried to kill Wayne Gro, but he narrowly escaped.
"The next relationship is very complicated: Officer Hanna, who is responsible for solving the case, is facing another marriage crisis; during the police investigation, McCauley and others are also planning to sell the stolen bonds to the original owner Fan. Zante, but he was trapped in his pre-set trap, but he was still able to get out.
"At the same time, McCauley met the female designer Edie and fell in love at first sight, while another McCauley's partner Chris and his wife were on the verge of marriage because of money;"
"After that, Hanna learned through investigation that Chris was one of the robbers. Under secret surveillance, he knew that their next target was a metal warehouse. Unfortunately, because of a small accident, Hanna still didn't catch McCauley's group."
"However, at this time, Hanna already appreciated McCauley. The pity for each other made him meet McCauley, and then hoped that he would stop. The scene of the king against the king did not get a good result. Both of them were stubborn guys and insisted on their actions."
"After that, McCauley began their last goal, robbing the bank, but because of the sudden lack of another driver, Trijo, they had to find another guy, and Trijo had actually coerced Van Zant and Wayne Gro to tell the plan."
"Therefore, although the bank robbery was successful, Hanna and others were blocked when they retreating. There was a fierce gun battle between the two sides. The driver who had just been called and another guy named Knight were killed on the spot. Chris was also injured and escaped with the help of McCauley."
"In the end, the failure of the bank robbery made McCauley find Tricho, and then knew that the whole thing was done by Van Zant and Wayne Gro, so he found Van Zant and killed the already damn guy, and then when he was going to fly to New West with Edie. At Lan's time, he knew the whereabouts of Wayne Gro, who had been hiding, and decided to kill him. However, as a result, he embarked on the road of no return, and finally it was in Hanna's hands.
This is just a general plot, which is not enough to explain anything. Chen Jin saw that everyone was listening very carefully and continued, "There are many characters in this movie, and each of them has flesh and blood, and there is an independent plot, but it is a complete collection. The change of the camera is very fast, but it is very compact and not boring. It is boring, but it is memorable everywhere. Moreover, in addition to the vivid plot and wonderful gunfight, this film also has depth, that is, the exploration and display of the inner world of the characters. This is the soul of the film and the greatest source of charm. With it, this is not just a simple police and gangster action film. "
Finally, it is also the focus of investors' most attention. "Because of the complex relationship between the characters, there are many scenes. Although there are not too many stunts, my rough budget is 120 million Hong Kong dollars," he shrugged his shoulders and said, "As for the box office, I really can't give you any guarantee."
Then turn to He Guanchang, "Uncle He, what do you decide, or wait until later?"
He Guanchang thought for a moment, "I'll vote 40%, and you have to give me the script to think about it first."
He took 40% at once, and the others were not easy to do, but Chen Jin still asked Brother Qiang, "Brother Qiang, how about you?"
Brother Qiang took a look at him. He Guanchang had a share for a long time. He couldn't also say 40%. In that case, where did Chen Jin go? He worked hard and let you take it. He also played farts and frowned. "Look at the arrangement. I have no problem."
He is very good at being a man. This makes Chen Jin owe him a favor, and he can have great benefits in the future, but Chen Jin obviously doesn't want to do this. He smiled and said, "Well, Brother Qiang, you can also take 40%."
Then he turned his head and looked at Andy Lau, "Brother Hua, you just take the remaining 20%. Shouldn't it be okay?"
When he said this, Brother Qiang stared at him first, "Slow, so much, what about you?" A cake is divided into ten parts. After four, four or two, it's not that there is nothing left, and he smiled bitterly, "You shouldn't be so stingy to lose your temper with us. It's up to you. I really have nothing to ask for."
Chen Jin smiled and shook his head, "I absolutely don't mean that, but the cake is so big. Since everyone trusts me, I will take it as thanking everyone for your love this time, which is also a return to the previous kindness."
However, he was generous, but he disagreed. He Guanchang said hesitantly, "Isn't that good?" This is meaningful. To put it bluntly, if Chen Jin doesn't participate, they will be a little worried.
Brother Qiang and Andy Lau also looked at Chen Jin. Obviously, they meant the same thing, but they were afraid to say it, which made Chen Jin unhappy. Obviously, they were doubting Chen Jin's character.
But character can't be eaten as a meal. Everyone even believes that Chen Jin is not such a person. However, with a big investment of 120 million, in the end, the proposed person and the person in charge do not participate in the benefits. Those who participate do not mutter that it is a ghost. Moreover, Chen Jinyi At first, I was not sure, and the risk was very high.
