Chapter 322 Ambiguity? Seducing? Encounter?
August 13th, Friday, this is the so-called Black Friday in the eyes of Westerners (the same day as Friday is the so-called Black Friday), which represents super unlucky. Westerners believe this very much. Moreover, in the history of Westerners, Black Friday is really There have been many catastrophe.
Of course, in Chen Jin's eyes, these are all bullshit. The history is so long that nothing bad happens in one day's history. Religion is just a lie.
On such a dark day, Chen Jin boarded the plane to Los Angeles with these handsome men and beautiful women of The Wire. When Brother Fa stepped on the last step, he shouted exaggeratedly, "Ah, God bless you. If you blame the dead boy, he chose such a "good day."
Chen Jin did not mean to choose this day to show his disbelief, but on Saturday, U.S. time, "The Wire of Fire" will be premiered. At that time, there will be a grand premiere, and all the creators will be present.
Everyone is usually busy. It's hard to squeeze out for a few days. It's definitely not good if it's early. Well, today is better. The time difference between Hong Kong and Los Angeles is 16 hours, and the time of the plane in the air is 14 hours. That is to say, they flew for most of the day, and the final arrival time in Los Angeles is still Friday, even early. Two hours, then they can rest in Los Angeles for a night with jet lag, and the next day, they can start socializing and having fun energetically.
Chen Jin put his knees on Brother Fa's fat buttocks and said with a smile, "I'll still bring you down from the sky when I get into the air, so that you don't think too much."
After all, Sister Fang is a woman. Women are always more emotional. That is to say, they often pay more attention to religious superstitions or believe in them, scolding, "You two, stop it."
Come up and sit down. Brother Fa is unwilling to be lonely and shout at Chen Jin. "I told you last time, don't put it in the bank when you make money. That thing is not safe. Tell me, let's not talk about anything else. How can Miss Chen not take a special plane with such a delicate body? You are too cruel and ruthless."
Chen Jin curled his lips and said, "You still have the face to say this. Your sister-in-law has been with you for many years. Why didn't you buy it?" He hugged Chen Zichen and kissed her and looked at her shy appearance. "I'm not like you. Our Sky No. 1 is already under construction and can get it next year."
If you have money, you often go out, especially if the United States is done, you will have to fly here and there in the future, and you don't care about the money. Chen Jin and Chen Zichen are really already investigating, but they have not officially signed the order to buy goods.
My brother smiled and said, "I'm suddenly a little nervous. I'm thinking that if I get to that place and meet those big stars, how can I greet and chat with them," he glanced at Chen Jin again. "These seem to be your best. You can be familiar with old friends in three words when you meet anyone."
Maggie Cheung joked, "That's with a woman. This guy's mouth is very sweet, and he will be happy if he coaxes others casually." Suddenly, he felt that there was Chen Zichen in it. He stuck out his tongue, snched at Chen Jin's teeth, and quickly turned around.
Chen Jin was so embarrassed. It seemed that Chen Zichen had planned to use Jiuyin's white bone claws, but Hua Zai answered conspicuously, "Are you all right? My English is not very good. If I meet those stars I like, I have to rely on translation to say hello to them. What's the suff?"
There are many people who are not good at English here. In addition to Chen Zichen and Chen Jin, their brother and Maggie Cheung's English can easily pass the test. Secondly, whether it is Brother Fa, Zhang Xueyou, Lin Qingxia and Sister Fang, their English is very weak.
Chen Jin took the opportunity to glance at Brother Fa with a smile, and the guy immediately lost his temper, "What are you looking at? My English is very poor. I can speak three grams of oil. I heard that I can pass through the United States with this sentence."
"No, I'm thinking that at the premiere, we always have to send someone to say something." Brother Fa's English has indeed improved a lot in more than five months, and he already has a little foundation. Chen Jin joked, "You are the eldest brother, and now your English is so good. You think it should be no problem for you to go up at that time."
Brother Fa gave me a little life and didn't say anything for the time being, but when I told Andy Lau, everyone else was a little worried. Lin Qingxia frowned, "If I had known, I wouldn't have gone. Anyway, I didn't have thought about going there to develop in my life."
Chen Jin shook his head with a smile at this time, "I don't agree with your idea. Only when you think about it and then work hard can you achieve the goal. If you don't even have the courage to think about it, it's too sad."
Lin Qingxia curled her lips and said, "You guys have a big tone." Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "It's not that I have a big tone, but that I have my goal. Just like Brother Fa, he is also working hard. He has courage and perseverance. Whether he succeeds or not, he is already very great."
"Oh, I finally heard your boy praise me once. It's really amazing," Brother Fa said, "But King is right. Now the opportunity is in front of us. It's not the same as before. Everyone's eyes are smeared. I don't know which direction Hollywood is. In this case, try to try. It's not bad."
At this time, Andy Lau came to Chen Jin, "King, tell me, how much will our box office be this time?" Zhang Xueyou is obviously also very interested in this. "Yes, do you think it is possible to exceed 300 million? Look, your first "The Jedi" has 130 million, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" has 250 million."
By the way, there should be no one who doesn't care about the box office of The Wire. You know, these people only got a small amount of remuneration, and then divided the remaining 30% of the equity of The Wire The Wire in Chen Jin's hand, especially Andy Lau, who just asked. His Tianmu Film Company has another 10%, not to mention more. If it's 200 million US dollars at the box office, and then converted into Hong Kong dollars, it's enough for him to wake up laughing at home with his sister in his arms.
If it had been before, everyone might still be worried, but with the super-high box office of more than 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in "The Seven Deadly Sins", how can these people not not think about it? By the way, they will certainly not think that "The Line of Fire" is worse than "The Seven Deadly Sins".
"How do I know this," the success of the first two movies still makes Chen Jin very confident, but there are some words that can't be too full now. "Maybe, 100 million dollars should be no problem."
"100 million, only 100 million US dollars," Brother Fa shouted, "You crow's mouth, at least 200 million US dollars, otherwise I won't finish with you." By the way, if it is 100 million US dollars, the budget is 120 million Hong Kong dollars, and after the issuance fee is removed, the profit of 78,000 will be about four times.
Although four times the profit has been able to make people laugh, but before, Chen Jin made such a crazy profit, and Brother Fa had 6% of the shares. If he didn't want more, there would be a ghost. My brother also had 5%, but he laughed, "I'm satisfied. If it's 100 million US dollars, I have at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars. It takes me to make at least five movies to make money.
Brother Fa was unwilling and asked Chen Jin with a shy face, "Tay honestly to my brother, how much do you think it is, and you will never be responsible even if you make a mistake."
This kind of comforting thought made Chen Jin smile softly, "I mean 300 million is useless," he turned around again. "150 million should be no problem. However, if you want to think more, everyone has to work hard this time. Only when we perform well at the premiere, the media's publicity will be more powerful, and the box office is It's all right."
The plane at 3:00 p.m. Hong Kong time on the 13th flew in the air for 14 hours. When it arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, it was still the 13th, but it was US time, and the time returned to one point. This is one of the mysteries of the universe.
In order to show solemnity, James personally picked up the plane and settled everyone in the Roosevelt Hotel, which is very close to Hollywood. Not only is it more convenient to go in tomorrow night, but if Chen Jin and others want to visit, this place is obviously better.
It's not two o'clock, and I've been flying in the air for more than ten hours. Except for Chen Jin, everyone else is a little tired. However, if you want to reverse jet lag, the best way is to hold on now and sleep when you are tired to death at night. Then, congratulations, wake up early tomorrow morning and be full of energy. There is basically no trouble caused by jet lag.
This time is the time for afternoon tea in Hong Kong. My brother first said, "Let's go. Let's go around the neighborhood, and then find a place to sit down and have a rest."
Chen Jin is really the first time to come to Los Angeles and Hollywood. He is not afraid of being ashamed. "Let's go and see the Avenue of Stars. There are other Chinese theaters on Sunset Street. If Paramount Pictures welcomes us, I can also be honored to visit."
When asked, no one has really been to this place. There are many people who have been to the United States, but they are usually in New York, Las Vegas and Hawaii. It's very simple. Those three places are either shopping, entertainment, or travel. It's unnecessary to really go to see stars.
The first time I came here, I didn't have to be afraid of being disturbed. Everyone was a little excited. After a little cleaning up, a large group of people came out and brought a tour guide by the way. This guy is He Wei, the deputy director of The Seven Deadly Sins. He lived here for a long time before returning to Hong Kong and was familiar with this place.
I just went out and thought that no one knew it. What's more, there was no one in this place at this time. I didn't want to. As soon as I arrived at the door of the hotel, I met five young Americans, all of whom were still women, and one of the little beautiful women's eyes lit up and recognized Chen. Jin said hello excitedly, "Hey, KING, is it really you?"
Since she recognized it, she seemed to be the first female fan in the United States. Chen Jin also responded enthusiastically, "Hey, you really know me!"
Chen Jin was so polite that the five girls immediately gathered around. By the way, in summer, she was dressed very sexy and had American characteristics. She was big, deep, white, and her eyes were very cool. Just now, the little beauty was equally great on her chest and said with a smile, "Of course, I know you. We have heard that If you want to come here to watch the premiere of your film,"
Introduced myself again, "My name is Catherine." Then he introduced the other four people to Chen Jin and praised them, "KING, you are much more handsome than in the movie. Can we take a picture together? I think the guys in our school will envy us to death.
Chen Zichen was a little tasty. These girls were not finished as soon as they came up. Of course, who called Chen Jin to be too enthusiastic? She whispered, "Are you going to stay here?"
How dare Chen Jin? It's almost done. She quickly said goodbye. Unexpectedly, Catherine ignored Chen Zichen. Although she couldn't keep Chen Jin, she winked at him, which was very ambiguous. "KING, we also live in this hotel, in Room 1088."
