Chapter 273 Hot Controversy
As soon as the Cantonese album "Leave" was released, the industry unanimously received super praise and the market was super hot. At this time and here, in such a situation, no one can or will question Chen Jin's ability in music and his status in the music world. As Sister Fang said in an interview, he said that he has exceeded everyone. Generally speaking, he is already on top, really like a king, and others can only worship.
However, I don't know if it's too proud. Chen Jin took the initiative to send himself to everyone's gunpoint this time. At the moment the opening ceremony of the 60 million-million-scale film Jedi Police was notified to the reporter, the whole Hong Kong media exploded.
Such explosive news immediately attracted all the reporters. On the rooftop of the Mandarin Hotel, the space that could accommodate about 500 people was slowly squeezed out.
This place is good, high and the scenery is open. Chen Jin likes it. While waiting for all the reporters to be present, he smiled and chatted with Brother Fa, but Brother Fa's face seemed to be a little tight. "Are you crazy, 60 million, how old is Hong Kong? You will lose money for 30 million."
Sister Fang is one of the other heroines, that is, the role of the wife of the second male protagonist. By the way, Hong Kong is really an actress who failed to act. At this time, she curled her lips next to her, "I almost strangle him when I heard it, but you know that although he is obedient, he is sometimes very stubborn."
Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please, can you stop talking about this all the time? I've already said that this is going to be released overseas. I'm going to release it in cinemas in the United States, you understand!"
Seeing that Brother Fa was going to knock him, he stretched out his hand to block him, "Well, even if they don't count these places, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other places will not lose money when they are released, right? At least I have a little influence in these places at night!"
Brother Qiang poured cold water aside, "It's so easy for you to issue overseas. If it's so easy, everyone will get it. They are still waiting for you, those censorship systems, those protection systems, etc. Moreover, those overseas issuing agencies are vampires. They set the issuance fees one by one by one, and in the end How much money can you get?
This person knew very early that Chen Jin was going to make this movie, but he did not plan to invest this time. To be honest, except for Chen Jin, Chen Zichen and Lian Junying, Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin were not confident in this film in Hong Kong. Brother Qiang felt embarrassed when he invested in Farewell My Concubine last time.
Even director Wang Jing is also not confident, but since someone pays for shooting, he tries to exert his own energy to the extreme. Not to mention artificial high, he can also try how good his level is, otherwise it is not exciting to shoot those all the time. The love is speakable.
Brother Fa curled his lips again and shot Chen Jin. "I read the script. I don't think it's interesting. It's a routine with most gunfight movies. Even if you want to make a movie, it's not like this. Let's take a look at the actors you invited."
To be honest, the actors Chen Jin invited really don't have any big names. In addition to himself, Anita Mui plays the wife of the second male protagonist. Wang Zuxian still appears as the heroine in his movie. This phenomenon must be a topic. However, this is also Wang Zuxian's last movie, and there is another one next. In the TV series, she will take a break for a while. As for the future, she hasn't thought about it now.
The rest is that Zhang Weijian, a little guy, plays the second male protagonist, Chen Xinjian, a "police professional", plays the head of the restaurant, Li Zixiong plays the head of the robbery, Tian Qiwen plays the waiter of the hotel, etc. It really doesn't look like a big production.
The production of 60 million yuan, in everyone's impression, at least you have to make Brother Fa, Brother, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and other bigwigs to play together. It looks really a little unsirremeful in front of them.
Brother Fa's words made Mei Yanfang and Wang Zuxian stare at him together. Brother Fa saw something wrong and smiled, "I'm not talking about you two. You are so beautiful and beautiful. That's really the best."
At this time, Brother Qiang joked with a smile, "It doesn't matter. It's just 60 million. Let's not talk about the record in front of us, the last Japanese single album, which should have sold more than 3 million now. Calculated, King can earn no less than 50 million. So that he can make money. What's the point of spending a little more? "."
This is a crooked truth, but Chen Jin is also doing business, which is better than some stars who are extravagant, spending money with the left hand and paying with the right hand, spending money all day long.
Chen Jin curled his lips and waved his hand, "You are just too conservative to know. It's always like this. There will be no breakthrough. Don't say I didn't tell you. I'm going to make a lot of money in this film. Brother Qiang, it's not too late for you to buy shares now."
Brother Qiang smiled softly, "Okay, if you reduce the budget to six million, I'll help you share half, 60 million. My family is small, but I can't afford it."
The start-up ceremony was very simple. The next reporter's Q&A time was lively. As an investor, Chen Jin, producer, producer and leading actor were naturally the first to be bombed.
"King less, is the 60 million you said a gimmick? As far as we know, this is just an ordinary comedy action movie. Such a film, not to mention six million in Hong Kong, 10 million can be completely done." He Zidong seemed to be a little rude this time. Maybe only he knew why it was like this.
Chen Jin was not annoyed at all and shrugged his shoulders with a smile. "Comedy action movies are indeed very common, but the type of movies can't explain anything at all. It's just a classification. For example, will the production of the same type of one million and 10 million be the same? Will the effect be the same? Will the audience's perception be the same? In the end, will your comments be the same?
"So what will be different in your movie, or what makes the budget of the movie reach such a height of 60 million?" As soon as He Zidong's question came out, everyone knew that this bitch was still a trust. It was just the twists and turns that these reporters often played.
Chen Jin still shrugged his shoulders. "I think there will be great breakthroughs in clothing modeling, props, action design, stunt display, etc. I can't tell you the specific details. I think I will give you a surprise when you go to the cinema." Finally, I added, "Of course, the most wonderful thing is the plot. I don't think everyone will be disappointed."
Just like Love Hotel, Chen Jin will try to add some future fashion and popular elements to the film in the limited picture, so that the film has more praiseable connotations.
The reporter of Wen Wei Po threw the topic to Wang Jing, "Director Wang Jing, can you talk about your views on this upcoming film?"
Wang Jing smiled and said, "One word, great; two words, great; three words, invincible; in detail, this is a westernized movie, from the plot to the lines to the performance mode, and the script is excellent, the plot is compact, the dialogue is wonderful and humorous, and the action scenes are designed by A KING and played in person. In the end, the explosion, racing and other scenes are definitely Hollywood-level,"
He turned his head and looked at Chen Jin with a brighter smile. "Let me tell you a secret, 60 million is only the lowest budget, and it may be as high as 80 million or even 100 million."
60 million has been shocked, 80 million or 100 million. Everyone regards him as blowing water. One of them asked Zhang Weijian with a silk scarf on his head, "Zhang Weijian, I heard that you shaved your head to play this movie. Can you tell me why? What is your role like?"
"Why, 60 million big productions, I don't know if there is such an opportunity in my life. What is it to shave your head?" Zhang Weijian replied ghostly, "What's more, my role is actually the first male protagonist. Brother KING can't compare with that. He is very handsome, cool and stylish super policeman. As for the details, I really can't tell you, otherwise I will have to deduct the labor. I didn't collect any money because of this role. If you deduct it again, it will be gone."
A reporter suddenly asked Brother Fa below, "Brother Fa, why didn't Mr. KING ask you to play such an important movie?" Chow Yun Fat curled his lips and said, "They don't like it. It's a big production of 60 million. How can we little stars have a chance to play the role?"
The guy immediately turned to Chen Jin, "KING, why didn't the big production of 60 million use big stars to fill the scene? Moreover, you just talked about overseas distribution, so is it more suitable for people with overseas influence like Brother Fa?"
Chen Jin looked at Brother Fa with a smile, "My film is not about the face, but the plot, dialogue and various special effects. Wei Jian is the most suitable candidate for me and Director Wang Jing. He seems to be born for that role. I think you will see an amazing Zhang Weijian."
"Miss Wang Zuxian, I found that in the recent few films of KING, it seems that you are all the heroines. Is there any connection between them?" Ke Fan, a bitch, finally asked him today's question with scheme.
"It's all decided by the film company and my agency. What's more, I don't think it's too strange. After all, this circle is so big!" Wang Zuxian smiled and didn't give him a chance at all. "Maybe, some people like to see a combination like us, just like Andy Lau and Guan Zhilin."
"But Andy Lau and Guan Zhilin are said to be very close?" Ke Fan smiled and continued to ask, but Wang Zuxian giggled, "That's all you made up. We know the relationship between them best."
"What's the relationship?"
"Ordinary friends, and collaborators on the movie screen!"
