Chapter 458 The easiest way to make money
PS: It's the end of the month. Let's support two more monthly tickets! Thank you!
Dufrange was miserable. His whole body was in pain, and he almost didn't bleed. He kicked Chen Jin far away, sat on the ground, grinned, looked at Stallone and other scoundrels, and immediately shouted away, "Xett, I won't play anymore. You are obviously colluding to bully me. Man, Nanai, I'll go to court tomorrow to sue you for intentional injury.
It's good to have a little pain. That's just a delay in the transmission of nerves in the brain. He doesn't bother to rub it. He just suffered and has to find someone to vent. Moreover, although this paragraph has not been filmed yet, the rest is just lines, so he is not afraid of Chen Jin. "You are not righteous. I told you to be gentle. Hey, good guy, you really regard me as an enemy. Wait for me. I must take revenge."
Everyone was very happy. Dufranger naturally joked. Chen Jin also smiled and said, "No problem, I'll wait for you at any time. However, it seems that we still have a few good scenes at the end of the film. I think we should be closer. What do you think, old man?"
Duff Lange suddenly looked bitter and arched his hand at Chen Jin, "Okay, man, I admit defeat. You are the boss, and I will listen to you. Okay, you can you even teach me a lesson by pressing Stallone on the ground now."
This guy began to provoke. Unfortunately, Stallone posed, "Come on, old man, I'm going to teach you a lesson."
Laughing, the makeup artist and the costume designer have cleaned up Duvrange and Chen Jin again. Chen Jin hardly needed to change anything, and Duvrange's face was stained with several blood stains, and his clothes were a little messy and dirty.
After finishing the makeup, immediately followed the following scene. The day in front of him was a little white, which was a sign of dawn - after Chen Jin kicked Dufranger two or three meters away, before Dufranger got up again, the knife in his hand flashed next to his neck, looking at Dufranger's face, who was still ferocious and unwilling. I still said something faintly, but there was a strong disdain, "Ignorant guy, you look like a joke!"
"Next time!" The knife in his hand flashed, and there was already a handful of hair on the knife, but this was a prop, "I will let it drink enough blood!"
At this time, the camera turned to Stallone, and he also said coldly to Dufranger, "Kid, don't mess with him, do you understand? Otherwise, you will regret being born in this world.
With a blank CUT, Chen Jin and Stallone went to the camera to confirm it, and then happily came to givemefive, which means that today is an overfulfilled task.
Originally, it would take at least three nights, but I didn't expect everything to be smooth beyond imagination. Stallone knew that Chen Jin's contribution was really not small. Not to mention that the following scenes were basically passed once, even in the front, Chen Jin also clearly controlled the overall situation, so that everything was carried out in an orderly manner. There are no mistakes.
He is like a sophisticated instrument, taking everything into account and being well prepared. This is hard to imagine. After all, this is a large crew, with almost 100 actors and staff. Everyone does different work, but they need to cooperate very tacitly.
But Chen Jin was able to arrange all this very well, so that everyone could complete the current work naturally but smoothly. At this moment, Stallone had to admit that Chen Jin was not comparable to him. Whether it was acting, directing, script or other, this young man had After being fully mature, he has become a real super man.
After finishing the work, when everything was put away, it was very coincidental that the sun slowly emerged from the side of the endless sea. Chen Jin was an early riser. Whether he was on Hong Kong Island or New York, he basically lived by the sea. There were many opportunities to see the sunrise when he got up in the morning.
Stallone stretched out and looked at it for a while. "I haven't seen such a beautiful sunrise for many years. The day was really perfect." Not only was it beautiful in front of me, but the shooting went smoothly. He patted Chen Jin's shoulder and greeted others. "Let's go, old guys, let's have a British breakfast. OK. Okay, relax."
I'm all used to this kind of life. I didn't sleep. Although I was a little tired, it didn't bother me. I just finished filming and chatted. It's much better to talk about my feelings than to sleep apart. After filming, I left. It seemed very strange. Let's play the previous play together, and it's about friendship.
Of course, no one knows what Chen Jin's main mind is. His goal is actually Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is the future governor of California, combined with his actor status. In terms, he can also be regarded as a figure in the United States.
The group returned to the hotel where they stayed, and Stallone also greeted each other. This guy was eye-catching and knew his status. He shook his head and refused. In fact, there was really nothing delicious for breakfast. The British things were bacon, fried eggs, fried mushrooms, fried tomatoes, fried sausages, black pudding, or French fries and soybeans with eggplant sauce, of course. There is also coffee or tea, plus the most common staple food - fried bread.
In Chen Jin's opinion, these things should be used as a midnight snack. It's really too fierce for breakfast. Stallone and others ate it with relish. Arnold Schwarzenegger bit half of the fried sausage into his mouth and asked Chen Jin by the way, "Man, how much do you think this movie should be at the box office?"
The investment budget of the film is as high as 120 million US dollars. It is worth mentioning that the main expenditure of the film is the remuneration of the big names. Normally, Chen Jin's remuneration can make the film unable to be filmed. However, this time, he, Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger only took 1,800 yuan. Millions of dollars, combined with others, the salary is close to 90 million US dollars, that is to say, the shooting budget is only a little more than 30 million US dollars.
In this way, it does not include Harrison Ford, who replaced the original Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nicholas Cage, who replaced the original Bruce Willis, and other guest appearances include the middleman played by Sean Connelly, that is, the old man who loves beautiful women, etc. These people are really completely human, not just Chen. King's energy, as well as Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others to help.
Usually, Stallone and others are paid 20 million US dollars plus dividends. This time, the salary is reduced, and then the profit is completely based on dividends. Therefore, the box office is the most important thing for everyone.
Although Chen Jin only took 18 million, the production fee is the film company under Jinchen Group, that is to say, he has actually occupied an extra share. More importantly, the copyright of the film belongs to him and Jinchen Group. No one will object to this, which is very fair.
Arnol Schwarzenegger may not be worried about the remuneration, but since he asked this, everyone was also very concerned about it. Chen Jin did not hesitate to say anything. He stretched out his four fingers, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Actually, I really want to stretch out one more finger, but I'm a cautious person."
Whether it's Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone, or others, they are still at the peak. The plot has changed a lot, which is obviously plump and wonderful. Of course, I have to mention that his appearance of Chen Jin is a big selling point, so he thinks that 500 million is not a problem. His ambition is more than 600 million. He not only wants to make money, but also has to make this thing and the "KING" series, as well as "The Impossible", "Magic Apprentice" and so on into a money tree one after another, making him more and more powerful, beyond people's reach, only admiration!
Chen Jin said that he is a very cautious person, and no one will object to it. In a movie, the main creator is asked the most questions, and the box office must be one of them. As a popular figure in Hollywood and a representative of super-selling movies, every work of his work will be asked N times.
But he only answered three times. The first time was "Golden Eye". He said 300 million, and finally 480 million, and the other was the same 300 million, that is, "Mr. Sweetheart" at the end of last year, but the last box office was more than 470 million. The third time, the most famous one, caused the most controversial. Once, when it was released on Independence Day, he said that there would be 600 million at the box office.
Good boy, even the president of Edward of Universal, the director and the actors feel that he is bragging. You can imagine how the media are cynicical. However, when the four-week box office came out and then extended for two weeks, and finally got the box office of 480 million US dollars, the media collectively lost their voice, and they gave Chen Jin cruelly. He slapped me in the face.
Therefore, just now he said that he wanted to add a finger. Several people present did not hesitate to feel that what he was actually said was the box office of 500 million, and even more. Think about it, the box office of 500 million US dollars, except for the publisher, production cost and other small items, 200 million US dollars is basically no problem, which is, the higher the box office, the more profitable The more truths there are.
Then, like Stallone and others, the remuneration of 18 million US dollars can finally get at least 30 million US dollars according to the proportion of investment. This number has exceeded their usual film remuneration. Even if they add dividends, they will not exceed 25 million.
Five million dollars more out of thin air. Look at the plot in the movie. For five million yuan, you can face the bloody storm, and you can go to the blog desperately. The salary of Hollywood superstars is high, but how much they earn in a year.
Look at Tom Cruise's top with an annual income of 75 million US dollars in 2012, and the second-ranked Leonardo DiCaprio, who ranked second, knew that the money was not so easy to earn. Five million US dollars is still a huge number.
Money is easy for guys like Chen Jin. For people who really live by acting, it's really hard, especially like Shang Yunton. He is not as popular as later. The film is only four million dollars. This time, because of the role, he only took three. The salary is one million dollars, but the final reward is more than five million dollars.
That's more than a quarter, and it's really fun. Everyone is relaxed and doesn't have to fight too much at all.
