Chapter 269 Let you drop your teeth and swallow them into your stomach
Most smart people don't believe what Chen Jin said. If he wants to make a film, the script can be sent at the door from Kowloon to Central. City Hunter is a good cartoon, and there are many Hong Kong stars who want to shoot, but that's definitely not to make Chen Jin like this. This is not an era of rare scripts, and super celebrities are rare. What's more, that kind of theme is really not too rare and how good it is.
In addition, there are a lot of nonsense in Chen Jin's words. He still wants to conduct an investigation when he is invited. He is not sure to reply to Yun Yun. If there is such a thing, it's strange for Chen Jin to know. The investigation means distrust. In this case, why does Chen Jin use a hot face to stick his cold buttocks?
Of course, the key is that Chen Jin's character is really not to find Jiahe's trouble for such a small thing. More importantly, with his status today, how can Jiahe be so unreasonable? If so, Jiahe's bosses either burn their brains or think that their lives have been too much recently. Comfortable.
There are many smart people, but there are also many people who are not smart and don't know the situation. What's more, this is still a deliberate thing. Naturally, some people stir up trouble. Therefore, the world immediately became angry again, saying how the kindness and hatred of Chen Jin and Jiahe are. Anyway, it's really done, and both families have a foundation. Presumably A thrilling war is inevitable.
When the matter came here, it was really big. Jiahe immediately stood up and shouted injustice. He simply said the matter, but he did not mention the reason why the Shuying Society refused Chen Jin. It was just that one of the conditions authorized by the Shuying Society to Jiahe was to appoint Jackie Chan as the hero.
After Jiahe kicked the incident, he cleaned himself up. Now, the focus of the contradiction is on Jiyingshe.
Therefore, under the manipulation of intentional people, the comic fans of "City Hunter" and Chen Jin's fans began to attack the Shuying Club, saying that Chen Jin is the most suitable character for the protagonist in the comics. Chenglong is obviously not suitable. Since he wants to make a movie, he has to respect the spirit of the original work, otherwise he will be hurt and irresponsible to the comic fans. Ren.
At the same time, some people also accuse the hegemony clause of Shueisha, saying that it is unreasonable and shameless to appoint actors with money.
However, the Shueisha, which is at the forefront of the storm, is very calm. When a reporter interviewed, he presidizes about the results obtained after careful consideration by the company, and then no matter how you make trouble, he doesn't bother to pay attention to you, as if he is sure about you.
Such a domineering and shameless behavior finally angered a large number of people. They united and launched the act of boycotting the comics published by Shueisha. At the beginning, Shueisha still ignored it with the intention of watching the bustle, and the boycott initiated in Japan was indeed ineffective.
Chen Jin did not come forward to incite anything, but in Hong Kong, the event was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. A week later, the Hong Kong branch of the Shueisha sent a report back to the headquarters, saying that the sales of the new issue of many comics were almost stagnant, and because there were people coming to the Hong Kong company every day to protest, the company's employees could not do anything about it. Working normally, and even some people have been threatened to resign.
For a company, what is most important is naturally the interest. However, this time, under the fact that the incident was obviously manipulated by someone, the Shueisha gritted its teeth and threw out the last trump card.
The so-called killer weapon is naturally the competition between Chen Jin and Beichen Daochang in January. The competition made many people with a big Japanese nation ashamed, and there are many people with this kind of complex in Japan.
However, it's good to quarrel about this kind of thing in Japan. In this kind of storm, what do Hong Kong people think after hearing such a reason? This matter is too easy to involve the different views of people in the two regions on this incident. Then, naturally, it is easy to involve the contradictions between regions and regions, rising to At the level of government.
As the center of the focus, Chen Jin was the first to stand up and say that he was the victim himself. Ironically, what he won would be used as an excuse now. This kind of narrow nationalist was a shame in itself. For a company like Jiying, he resolutely resisted it, and decided not to do it again. He starred in a film adapted from City Hunter.
Half a year has passed since the incident. Shueisha has come up with such a reason. The public in Hong Kong has gone out of anger. You know, in the minds of Hong Kong people, it is for them. Therefore, the Hong Kong branch of Shuying has become a garbage house that night, and the employees of the branch have also been warned. At that time, all the comics sold by Shueisha were taken away and destroyed by others, and even a large number of comic fans took out the comics at home and opened a burning comic PARTY.
The public in Hong Kong is like this. The Japanese public also feels that the practice of Shueisha is a little too much. After all, Chen Jin really didn't have much to be criticized except for winning. Even the incident was provoked by the people of Beichen Daochang. Moreover, although many people don't like Chinese people, Chen Jin is now the public. Idol, his frequent appearance in front of the TV always makes people feel different, not to mention that he has a large number of fans.
When someone went to the Japanese Embassy in Hong Kong to protest in Hong Kong, the people of the Shueisha knew that their move this time was a little thoughtless. They could take it out at any time, even in Japan, but it was a mistake in this case.
In this regard, the Shueisha, which suffered a lot of losses, could only drop their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and officially issued a statement, claiming that they did not mean to target Chen Jin, but a kind of love for Chen Jin, but their approach was a little inappropriate, and they did not communicate well with Chen Jin. For this reason, they suffered from Chen Jinhe. The injured person solemnly apologized and invited Chen Jin to be the hero of City Hunter.
Naturally, there is no way to convince people for such reasons, but Chen Jin stood up again at this time. He accepted the apology of Shueisha. As a public figure, he naturally could not be aggressive. This is also for future development in Japan. At the same time, he resolutely refused Shuying to be the leading actor of City Hunter. Please, this is a promise to keep what he said before.
Almost on the same day, Jiahe also stood up and announced that he would stop the cooperation with Jiyingshe, and Jiahe would also solve the losses of Jiahe Company due to the behavior of Jiyingshe through legal means.
By the way, the reason why Jiahe cut off the cooperation with Jiying Society so happily is not entirely for Chen Jin's face. They are asking for a living and taking the lead in interests. However, this time, Jiying Society provoked public anger, and it is not appropriate to cooperate again.
What's more, Chen Jin also took a script to He Guanchang at this time.
As early as after the incident, when Chen Jin and Chen Zichen discussed it, considering the development of the matter, since the Shuying Society used his martial arts competition as an excuse, it was completely possible to say it to hit his popularity. Therefore, Chen Jin had the intention of not to play the film at that time.
Besides, the movie "City Hunter" is really good. If it weren't for Jiahe, he wouldn't have much interest in acting. It's just a play, and there are not too many highlights.
I won't act anymore, but Chen Jin plans to make a better notebook by himself. I still don't like you. I can have a stronger fighting mentality than you when I play casually, and he does have a lot of such things in his head.
Several classic movies flashed in his mind, and the final decision was the movie "PlayerUnknown's Battle".
"Jade Cop" is a super cool action movie that combines funny and fighting, racing and other elements. Although it lacks depth, it is attractive enough. Moreover, this thing is most suitable for director Wang Jing. Chen Jin can do the action well and learn the director's homework more deeply.
Michael Bei was not a rookie who had never made a movie. Wang Jing was not necessarily better than him, but with Chen Jin's guidance and establishing the style of the film, the effect was absolutely not bad.
This is originally a group of super rookies from production, to director, to actors (Wil Smith was also a super rookie at that time), but the popularity on the box office list of various countries proved that they did a good job, and even became popular. Michael Bay became a famous director and Will Smith became a good actor. The dock is a first-class star, and Bruckheimer has become a gold medal producer.
Decide to do it. At least Chen Jin has made his debut for almost two years. He has learned so much from movies and other things. He doesn't believe that he will do worse than Michael Bei. After all, he already knows all the directions. As the saying goes, he can't copy, so he doesn't have to muddle along.
He still has to release this film all over the world, especially in North America. He will only make this film better, whether it is clothing or various action effects, or even racing stunts. As long as you have a direction and work hard, it is not high-tech, there is always a way to solve it.
The plot of "The Jedi" does not have too many geographical restrictions. It only needs to be changed a little. At the same time, except for some complete black dialogues that need to be changed, Chen Jin is going to keep all the rest. He hopes to have more American styles. There is nothing he can do. Only in this way can he eat all over the world. Secondly, he also wants to take this opportunity to see if he has a chance to enter Hollywood.
Although it is still early, if an opportunity is created, Chen Jin is still willing to seize the carp to jump the dragon gate.
To be honest, Hong Kong is quite suitable for this film. The script is also very distinctive. The dialogue is very humorous and wonderful. The action and racing scenes have very dazzling effects. Once it is filmed, it must be wrong. He Guanchang and Wang Jing nodded after watching it.
However, what Chen Jin said next shocked both of them, because he said that the budget for the film was 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
Chen Jin's idea is very simple. Since he wants to do it, he must do his best, and he also knows that this film has the strength of overseas distribution. At that time, he can easily make a lot of money by collecting US dollars, pounds and so on.
Wang Jing doesn't matter. The more money, the better. His director can also play something sharper. By the way, there is almost no director who will think that the film has invested too much. The only possibility is that the director is the investor.
But He Guanchang quit. At the beginning, Chen Jin said that he wrote the script and wanted to be a producer and producer. This is a non-different request. Because of Chen Jin's status and character, He Guanchang readily agreed. Anyway, he was a box office guarantee, and the script was also good, and it was not much worse.
But 40 million is a joke. Nowadays, movies with an investment of more than 10 million are all big productions. Why doesn't Brother Qiang invest in movies like Farewell My Concubine? More than 20 million. Just kidding, if it weren't for Chen Jin, he could have destroyed people with a gun.
It's right that the movie market is booming now, but several movies can have more than 20 million box office. 30 million is basically the top ten movies of the year, and 40 million, my mother, can't even slap in a year.
It is also because of this that Chen Jin, the "40 million gentleman" is so respected. Even if others want to say it, there is no excuse or strength. But today's 40 million is just an investment. At that time, even if it receives 50 million yuan, it will not make money back. Even if Jiahe itself has a cinema line, it can reduce the share of some issuers.
This thing is not a gamble, nor is it a joke. It is a real thing to pay for money. If this film can receive 50 million yuan, He Guanchang will reluctantly believe it. However, if this film wants to reach the profit standard line of about 70 million yuan, He Guanchang is really not confident, no matter who comes.
Seeing that He Guanchang didn't say anything, Chen Jin knew what he meant. That was to give him face, otherwise he would have been embarrassed. He stood up with a smile, paced slowly, and said slowly, "Uncle He, have you ever thought about overseas distribution? Look at the script again. I'm very Westernized."
Finally, he said, "Well, I'll take this script back and do it myself. I messed up this time. If there is any movie next time, please tell me, and I'll give you a 50% discount."
Two sentences, two choices, and polite enough. He Guanchang, who didn't say anything at first, still didn't say anything. He picked up the script again and looked at it for a while. When he was almost finished reading it, Chen Jin said a proposal again, "Why don't you wait for this movie to be made to see how it works, and then I'll write a book. It's up to you to invest, or if you don't worry, we can invest together.
"Why don't you plan to cooperate and invest with me this time?" He Guanchang frowned and asked.
Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "There is no standard to evaluate this risk at all. You think you will lose money no matter how much money you pay. Why should I pull you up and owe you a big favor at that time? Moreover, if you pay a human price of 1.8 million yuan, it really makes me laugh and cry."
"I think you are very confident!" He Guanchang glanced at Chen Jin and still frowned, "To be honest, if the overseas distribution you mentioned is feasible, the film may still be good. However, do you know the difficulties of overseas distribution?"
"It doesn't matter!" Chen Jin said, "Sometimes since you want to do it, don't worry too much, and then believe in yourself. This is my always principle."
