Chapter 541 Undercover, Traitor

Although the premiere was very successful and broadcast live to the United States through CBS and Fox TV, the publicity activities were still going on non-stop. Including Chen Jin, the creators of The Expendables flew from New York to Miami to Chicago for two days on the weekend. Then go to Los Angeles. Next is the trip abroad, including Hong Kong Island, the United Kingdom, etc.

On the last day of May, the weekend box office has come out. Because of the previous premiere event, and because of the hard publicity of these two days, the box office of "The Expendables", which was released in 3,000 cinemas at the same time, reached 106.21 million US dollars on the weekend. It is said that in these three days, the cinema almost There is no vacant seat.

There is no way to count the overseas box office yet, but it is said that the response is very good, and this very good comes out of the mouth of Baron William Binn.

Everything is not in vain. Whether it is Chen Jin or Stallone, they are all happy. However, they are happy, but some people are very unhappy. Seeing that May is about to pass and June is coming, Chen Jin's script has not been taken out, and Jinchen Group is already preparing, even many big names. Got the script.

Although I am very sure that Chen Jin will eventually take out the script, no one can guarantee that if Jerry Morgan at the premiere suddenly reaches some cooperation with Jinchen Film Group.

Universal and other production companies, or some of them have a close relationship with the Morgan Group to which Jerry Morgan belongs, but it's just a relationship. If Jerry Morgan can get more benefits, he can completely swallow it alone. Or, the playboy's illegitimate daughter of the Rockefeller family and Chen Jin look very With affection and unevenness, Rockefeller and Morgan really swallowed the interests of Jinchen Film Group.

This may not be without. The stakeholders behind the major film groups obviously do not want to see such a result. Perhaps, it is necessary to prevent such a situation from happening, because once it really happens, they seem to have to pinch their noses in the end.

Therefore, after the "The Expendables" reception held at the Los Angeles Grand Theatre on the evening of the 30th, Edward and the others came to Chen Jin. This time, they did not have any implication. They directly said that they wanted to talk to him about the script.

Fortunately, the playboy readily agreed to their request, but because he was going to fly to Hong Kong Island for publicity tomorrow afternoon, there was only one morning time, and this schedule could not be changed, or he didn't want to change it.

I agreed. Naturally, it was worth being happy, but the tone was very bad. It seemed that tomorrow's negotiation would be very difficult. I didn't know what Chen Jin would have, or those ghost ideas. This made the five old men have to get together that night and discuss that they didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. In the morning, they had to crawl early. Get up, but the old guys have probably been used to such a routine for a long time. When they appeared in the conference room of the Hollywood Golden Morning Film Group, they were all very energetic.

On the last day of May, I originally planned to hold the beautiful playboy in my arms, because these old men were not interesting, so I had to get up early from Kate Beckinsale's **. Now I am very unhappy when I look at these old men. However, the old men don't know what he is for, and they think it is today. God, this seems a little inappropriate - Playboy is not a guy who gets angry easily.

There are three other people in the conference room, one Stephen Spielberg, one Dennis Zhang, one Chen Zichen, and Stephen Spielberg. Everyone knows that this boy is out of shit. So many film companies protested and want to squeeze into this circle, but In the end, the playboy withstood all the pressure and only let the DreamWorks join in, which made many people blush.

But there is nothing we can do. Now there are too many people related to Chen Jin's interests, and there are many big people. What can they do? Let's say, the five old guys in front of them, if someone really wants to destroy the operation of Chen Jin's side, they also have to help, because they also have a lot of interests.

However, Dennis Zhang and Chen Zichen appeared at the same time, which is a bad signal. Everyone knows that these two people are shrewd. Although Chen Zichen is a woman, everyone knows that the operation behind Jinchen Group is her operation. What's more, she has a good relationship with the Roosevelt family, and even the same Will it be simple for a woman who is very affectionate?

The old guys are used to being single with Chen Jin, because although the playboy is smart, he is really a talkative person, polite and generous.

Dennis was there, Chen Jin and Chen Zichen did not move and asked him to say hello, and this attitude also made the old guys more nervous. However, soon, Dennis gave each of them a folder. When they saw the information above, they temporarily forgot everything and were even very excited.

Before they finished watching, Chen Jin had knocked on the table and interrupted them rudely. "Dear gentlemen, I have limited time today, so I will tell you my will directly. Of course, you prefer to call him a condition."

"You have 18 scripts in your hands, that is to say, each of you can get three, which is better than the treatment in the first half of the year. I'm really generous!" He shrugged his shoulders, but there was no smile on his face. "Of course, I can also make a promise. If the box office is not more than 100 million US dollars, you can come to me!"

"As for which one is divided into which one, wait for you to draw lots to decide, or if you have any opinions, you can also raise them later," he looked around and his eyes were cold. "However, it's not too late for you to listen to listen to my conditions and then share the benefits."

That means that the conditions can't be agreed. Edward first glanced at Chen Jin and smiled, "Of course, we know that you have always been generous. We are all very satisfied with everything today. As for your conditions, we naturally have no problem."

This old fox is obedient. I'm afraid that he will be the first one to shout injustice later, but Chen Jin ignored him and continued faintly, "I'm not a greedy guy, but since everyone has got so many benefits, you should also show something."

"Please listen, everyone. My condition is very simple. Each of you has three scripts, and I only have three left here. The distribution rights of your scripts are yours. Then my three, plus the one that was turned on before, will be issued independently by me," Chen Jin said. Everyone was ready to move, but he It's not finished yet. "Also, for the films you have distribution rights, the distribution fee will be reduced to 40%."

"What, thousinety-three, this is too outrageous," Vladimir of Columbia Pictures was the first to stand up, with an angry face. "KING, I don't care about the quad-two share you signed with 20th Century Fox before, but with me, it's absolutely impossible. Get less than quartit of the issuance fee.

This old boy seems to be about to fight, but he has actually begun to bargain. The first counter-offer was 40%, and another guy, Paramount's Baker, also snorted coldly, "And your release, KING, you don't have a perfect channel at all. Naturally, you can't be completely complete. Complete the global release of the film. The reason for the success of The Expendables this time is that we have helped you a lot.

This is even more shameless. If Stallone is here, he has to look like he.

After listening to the two of them, Chen Jin smiled for the first time and looked at Steven Spielberg with a smile, " Stephen, what about you? Do you think your company can accept my conditions?"

Stephen Spielberg seems to have colluded with Chen Jin. Almost one just finished asking, and the other began to answer, "Of course, I think you are already very generous, and I am very grateful for this."

To say, Stephen Spielberg and Chen Jin really did not collude, but both he and the other two dream factory bosses are very clear about the role they want to play.

Last time I got the right to cooperate with Air Force One, there were different opinions. Some people even said that Mr. President liked Tom Hanks in that movie very much. Then, the first lady called Chen Zichen, and Tom Hanks won such an opportunity for DreamWorks by the way.

However, Stephen Spielberg knew very well that some of the news was spread by him. The real reason was that Chen Jin gave DreamWorks a chance for Tom Hanks' sake.

And this time, Chen Jin can push everyone else away and let DreamWorks join alone. He still gives DreamWorks a chance. This opportunity is to be an undercover agent and a traitor. If he can't do it, next year, even in front of him, DreamWorks will be kicked out. The five old guys here will never hesitate to help push him. Down.

Steven Spielberg is also a genius, but the script in front of him makes him feel suffocated. If a big film company takes out so much at a time, it's okay to say that one person is really shocking. What's more, he also said that he can guarantee that each film will exceed 100 million US dollars. No one has questioned this!

Putting aside the shock, Chen Jin was able to generously treat him and others equally, and also gave him three scripts at a time. In addition to the previous one, as a dream factory that had just started, it has been worry-free for a year. In this case, Stephen Spielberg did not know the choice.

Just like before he came, Steven Spielberg joked with Tom Hanks. He came to be a subordinate and a thie. In the future, he followed Chen Jin, the boss, or DreamWorks, the boss of Jinchen Group.

"Good, Stephen, I just like your frankness!" Chen Jin raised the red wine glass in his hand to him with a smile. "As a thank you, I give you the right to choose three from these 18 scripts first."
