Chapter 335 Compeing for favor

There is no doubt that The Wire is a very good police and bandit movie, which can be seen from the positive information and reports given by most of the media around the world, but the box office did not soar as everyone thought.

Among them, the biggest reason is the length of the film for three hours, which has encountered certain difficulties not only in North America, but also around the world. In the United States, there are almost 500 theaters in the first week, but in the second week, even the most critical third week, there are no more than 1,000 theaters, which is obviously very different from almost 1,600 in the third week of the release of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Therefore, even if the highest score of a single pavilion is close to 35,562 US dollars, it still drags down the overall box office. At the beginning of September, the global public release ended, and the statistical results were also announced. A total of 8,37.16 million dollars were received in the box office in the United States, and 12,863 million dollars in other regions. Although it is not too much, compared with The Seven Deadly Sins, the box office of a total of 21.2390,000 US dollars, which is almost 1.88 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This time, Hong Kong's movie box office is awesome, which is also as high as 66 million, which is basically the same as Jedi, but this can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Sixty-six million to 1.88 billion, is this good or bad, should it be bad or praise, and even whether "The Line of Fire" belongs to a Hong Kong-made police and bandit film, or a complete Hollywood police and bandit film? - "Entertainment Infinite" Sand Gang Lang 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, 1.88 billion Hong Kong dollars, each electricity The movies are all a bumper harvest, and in the process of continuous progress, I may be able to announce that Hong Kong films have officially entered the Hollywood era - "Star News One Week" half a pig knife No. 10. In the banquet hall of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the celebration banquet of "Stealing Fire" is being held in a hot way. Brother Qiang and Mr. He Guanchang are both Chen Jin. Standing together, the former said with a smile, "KING, no matter how good the movie is next time, you should take it easy. You are too long. The audience is happy. I can't stand it!"

The investment of 120 million yuan has received 1.88 billion yuan at the box office. In addition to the distribution fee, there are almost 1 billion yuan. This is not 10 million yuan to earn 100 million yuan, let alone 10 million yuan. The larger the base, the more difficult it is to make money N times, almost ten times with 100 million yuan. That's really amazing.

Chen Jin curled his lips and said, "If you think it's too long, I'll cut you in half next time, so that you won't be fine and you won't let go here." He Guanchang laughed. By the way, this movie makes more money than his group of old guys make in a year. This is really not an exaggeration at all. He patted Chen Jin's shoulder. "I didn't say anything. In a word, you can toss as much as you want. My only request now is that I know that many people will ask you to share it. A little profit, but my share, no matter how much it is, you have to keep a little for my old man, otherwise I will really go to your company to play tricks.

One billion in three movies in a row, who is not tempted? This is the case in this circle. If there are good things, we have to get some together. Otherwise, if you want to be alone, it will be difficult to make sense. By the way, in this entertainment industry, in fact, it is still the bigwigs outside who work together to make money and play with women and so on. That is to say, it is actually a circle. Even Hollywood was not made up by Wall Street's giants in those years. This is something that the whole world knows.

In other words, Shao found Chen Zichen and Chen Jin to play emotional cards, and some people directly went to Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen, and even heard that this matter made Mr. Chen very proud once.

Chen Jin also understands this truth. What's more, if he wants to make money, he doesn't do it. There are many ways to get along in this circle. In the final analysis, it's just a way to establish image and authority, and even popularity, and slowly build contacts. Since he is in this industry, Chen Jin does not dislike it.

After listening to He Guanchang's words, Brother Qiang answered with a smile, "The old man's words are reasonable. I dare not force it more or less, but you have to leave us a little."

Chen Jin laughed and said, "I also say that if we have money, we can make money together. I haven't reached the point of seeing money. The two movies this time are still the old way. One is taken out and chosen by everyone. I will keep one myself. As for the future, let's talk about it slowly."

"Extreme Panic" and the movie renamed "The Liar" from "Nine Queens" have been carried out in an orderly manner after Chen Jin came back. He is not afraid that no one invests at all, but thinks there are too many people.

For Chen Jin's decision, Brother Qiang and He Guanchang can't say anything more. They still want more, or let Chen Jin reserve more equity for them in this film. However, Chen Jin doesn't just say anything. He doesn't like to argue with him. On this point, from the beginning, from the beginning, Brother Qiang I have a deep understanding.

Of course, the two also believe that the share left by Chen Jin will definitely make them speechless. This is also the advantage of Chen Jin. He misses the past and values love.

As soon as he separated from the two of them, Jackie Chan brought two glasses of wine and took the initiative to change the only a little cup left in Chen Jin's hand. He said happily, "Now you are busy. It's not easy to find a chance to talk to you." He also said directly, "You tell me the bottom. After you watched the sample, what do you think? Is there anything wrong with the box office? And, how did I play?"

Jackie Chan's "Red Zone" will be released worldwide in two weeks. The status accumulated by Chen Jin's current success, at least in terms of Hollywood's right to speak, Jackie Chan can only look up. At this time, it is naturally necessary to ask Chen Jin's perception.

Because of Chen Jin's advance guidance, this film is obviously better than the "Red Fan District" in another time and space. Although Tang Jili is a novice, he has drunk foreign ink and actually played very well, which is better than Chen Jin's imagination. "I can't say, Brother Jackie Chan, you must pester me, that I just said it a little bit, but I was wrong. Don't blame me afterwards."

Seeing Jackie Chan nodded violently, Chen Jin smiled and said, "In my opinion, it's very good. You also acted very well, especially in the action scenes. It's a little bit like Elder Bruce Lee. Thinking about it, it's not difficult to be popular."

After listening to this, Jackie Chan immediately smiled and touched a cup with Chen Jin. "Thank you for your kind words," he smiled shyly. "Although I entered the industry earlier than you, you can understand this industry better than me, and I'm not afraid of embarrassment. If you have anything suitable, just say hello at that time. He doesn't care."

This is worth helping. Chen Jin did not refuse and said with a smile, "Brother Jackie Chan, don't worry, you will be in next year's plan." At the end, I winked at him and said nothing more.

Jackie Chan was really happy. Every time he said a bold word, Chen Jin gave him a surprise. He took a sip of the wine in the toast, asked the waiter to take another glass and politely said to Chen Jin, "I won't say anything superfluous words. I'll give you a toast. If there is anything in the future, just say hello casually. If I wrinkle one, I wrinkle. Frowning, I won't have the face to see you in the future.

Chen Jin doesn't care much about this. Of course, it's a good thing to keep this connection. He shook his head with a smile, "Brother Jackie Chan is serious. Everyone's family, don't talk about the two families."

Xu Ke squeezed over at this time, and Jackie Chan said goodbye knowingly. Shi Nansheng also followed him. This one was more directly, "You stingy guy, look at how much you have earned, but the budget of the movie is so little. You are so embarrassed."

Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Go and inquire, this movie has nothing to do with me. Besides, "Extreme Panic" has a budget of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. To be honest, I see that you have given 20 million more. If you don't do it, it's not too late now," he looked at Shi Nansheng again. "You usually listen to your sister-in-law a little. A little bit to make sure that you don't have to pester me anymore.

Chen Jin, the director of Extreme Panic, is looking for this man. Although Xu Ke spends money, he can always surprise you like James Cameron, and he is also a genius director with real ability and imagination in Hong Kong.

As for 100 million Hong Kong dollars, that's what Chen Jin deliberately pressed a little. In his budget, between 120 million and 150 million Hong Kong dollars, but the whole world knows that this man likes to overspend. He spends money to no degree. If you don't card him first, he can spend 200 million or even 300 million yuan on you.

Of course, there are definitely a lot of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. With Du Qifeng, he immediately didn't say anything, but Du Qifeng had to direct "The Liar" this time. The success of the last "The Line of Fire" has made Chen Jin trust him enough.

Xu Ke is not easy to send. He can't say harsh words about Chen Jin's current identity. Or, if Chen Jin asks him to make Hong Kong films, he will also be a little awesome, but if it is made in Hollywood, he has to take it easy. Before Shi Nan was born, he reminded him many times that Chen Jin is not easy to mess with.

"Why don't you add another 20 million? You know, this scale is so large. If you make a four-like, I'm sorry that you're not." This one was soft at first, but he obviously meant to be naughty.

Chen Jin smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn't matter. In that case, 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be smashed in your hands. I will think this has never happened."

One met the other fiercely. Xu Ke stared, but gave a thumbs up, "Ok, you're cruel. They all said you were generous, but they didn't expect you to be a stingy person." Then he thumbed down with contempt on his face.

Chen Jin ignored him and winked at Shi Nansheng to see that she understood. Haha, she walked away happily. Shi Nansheng knew that Xu Ke, really can't be too distracted by his character. By the way, many of the things he sometimes made were not needed when he was cut
