Chapter 293 Resignation
Looking at the entertainment reporters swarming up, Chen Jin joked with a smile, "Your names have probably been holding back for a long time. Take your time. I will definitely make everyone satisfied this time."
This guy was in a bad heart. The name was the same as the famous prostitute. It sounded like a compliment. In fact, at the beginning, he hurt these paparazzi who were about to trouble him.
Ke Fan is obscene, but his brain is extremely smart. Looking at Chen Jin's bad smile, he knows that there is something in his words. After helping Chen Jin once last time, his treatment has also obviously increased. There is a lot of news. Except for He Zidong, he is the second one he got. Today, he doesn't care to let He Zidong ask first, or he still has a little different. The meaning of the head also asked with a smile, "Young KING, I heard that you will have another blockbuster soon. So, will Miss Wang Zuxian still be your female number one?"
Chen Zichen is here, and this man is very implicit, but Wang Zuxian took the initiative to take over this question, "I can answer you this, no, I don't have any contract now, and I plan to have a good rest, and I may say goodbye to this circle."
Because "Winter Love Song" has not yet started to be promoted, there must be some jobs at that time. Therefore, although Wang Zuxian no longer takes any job, he has not yet said that she may withdraw from the entertainment industry.
Both Ke Fan and others were shocked. Comrade Sha Ganglang, Ke Fan's good partner, reacted at the first time and then asked, "Why, Miss Wang Zuxian, you are developing very smoothly now. Everyone recognizes you very much, and you are also very young."
Wang Zuxian smiled, but shook his head, "I have been in the industry for almost ten years, especially in recent years. It's too hard. I want to take a break first."
At this time, a guy who didn't know the importance joked in front of Chen Zichen, "Miss Wang Zuxian, you won't retire and become Mrs. Chen, will you?" Although this is really a fact, his question is very reckless. He knows at a glance that he is a rookie. By the way, now everyone wants to rely on more and more rookies with Chen Jin, newspapers and magazines, which directly reduces the quality of Chen Jin's press corps.
After all, Wang Zuxian is experienced, his expression remains unchanged, and he smiles, "AKING already has a lot of Mrs. Chen, so I won't go to join in the fun." The answer was very witty, which made the tense atmosphere at the scene much better. Although many people at the scene did not believe this sentence, with Chen Zichen, it was difficult for everyone to ask anything again, so as not to make the scene fall into an uncontrollable atmosphere again.
He Zidong quickly changed the topic at this time, "King Shao, I heard that you had a plan for another movie at the same time as the shooting of "The Jedi Cop". How is the situation now?"
"Now it's under preparation," Chen Jin answered quickly. "As for the specific situation, I thought for a while that there will be more detailed information about the start-up ceremony for you. Now, what I can say is that the name of this movie is "The Line of Fire", which is also a police and gangster film, but more Wonderful."
"How much will the budget be? Will it exceed 60 million or more? Besides, is "The Wire" still Hollywood style? What are your expectations for the future box office? The other guy immediately asked.
Chen Jin is not afraid to say it. Even if it causes some sensation, just take it as a hype. "You may think I'm bragging again, but what I want to tell you is that this time the budget is 120 million Hong Kong dollars, and the investors have been found. As for what you said Style, I think it will be a combination of Hong Kong style and Hollywood. Of course, I don't deny that Hollywood is a little more beautiful. After all, I want to release it overseas.
"What are the expectations of the box office?" The guy looked at Chen Jin as if it was about to end. He quickly followed. Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I believe it should be more than 100 million dollars."
There was a sound of exclamation at the scene. Some people may not believe it, but they dare not say anything at this time. After all, with the previous example of "The Jedimen", Chen Jin has a lot of confidence. Unless "The Line of Fire" fails, it is not too late for you to mock Chen Jin.
"Will the director of the film still be Wang Jing?" Another reporter asked and looked at Wang Jing, who was sitting on the other side. "Director Wang Jing, I heard that a Hollywood production company is looking for you to shoot a film. What's your plan?"
"I don't know about this, but if it's still the same, it's really an honor." Wang Jing glanced at Chen Jin. He really didn't know about this. Chen Jin didn't say anything. "As for the Hollywood production company, I don't know where you got the news, at least I don't know now. Moreover, I dare not say that it was my credit for the film made before. To be honest, KI NG may be better than me. Although he is an assistant director, I think I am the supporting role.
"The Wire" is a very in-depth police film. There is no joke. Wang Jing's shooting is not suitable at all. Chen Jin has already had a candidate, that is, Du Qifeng, and he is already in contact. However, it is difficult for him to say at this time. In front of so many people, it will hurt Wang Jing. Face. Face.
Of course, in "The Wire", Du Qifeng is still the same role as Wang Jing, which will be agreed for a long time, and Du Qifeng is a very powerful master of police and bandit films, and is also good at digging the inner and emotional entanglements of the characters. It can be said that he is the most suitable director of "The Line of Fire". To cooperate with him, Chen Jin can also learn Another style, if you learn the characteristics of Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Du Qifeng and even director Liu Guochang well, it will also be a great asset.
At this time, a guy asked Chen Jin with a little provocative intention, "Young KING, why do you make movies so westernized? Can't Hong Kong movies succeed? You are so talented. If you go to make Western movies, won't Hong Kong movies fall?"
This guy is impulsive, and his words are not very good, so that he doesn't have much intention to slander Chen Jin. Chen Jin smiled and said, "This friend, I don't know if you have heard the sentence "Shu Yi Changji to control Yi". We can't be complazen. I'm not slandering Hong Kong movies. However, now Hong Kong movies It has begun to lag behind. In this case, we will catch up.
"But it's not okay to just shout slogans. We have to really learn from other people's things sincerely, and we learn to make Western films. I also told my brothers before that we should slowly let people accept us and recognize us, and then we can integrate into it and learn more good things. In the end, we It can feed back Hong Kong movies and promote our things. After integrating all the good things, we can catch up with them or even surpass them.
"Do you mean that you won't make Hong Kong films for a long time in the future?" A guy asked a question.
Chen Jin shook his head and said with a smile, "Although I made a western film, don't people think it's a Hong Kong film? It's just a Hong Kong film with a western style. Of course, I will also invest in some completely orthodox Hong Kong films."
Sha Ganglang found a different way and asked Zhang Weijian, "Zhang Weijian, everyone said that your performance this time was excellent, and even stole the scenery of KING Shao and became the first hero of the film. Some people said that you took the opportunity to raise your salary and play big. What is the Hollywood standard?"
This question is spicy, but Zhang Weijian listened to a lot of such questions, but looked at Chen Jin, "To be honest, I am still very grateful to Brother KING for choosing me at a glance at that time, and gave me more opportunities to learn a lot of things, and I have to thank you for grabbing the scenery. To be honest. By the way, I think it's difficult for someone to grab the scenery of Brother KING in a movie. If there is, it's the honor of that guy.
After holding Chen Jin for a while, he said, "What you said is to take the opportunity to increase the film's salary. Every actor will rise after he has a good grades. This is the rule in this circle. I don't think I have done anything wrong. As for playing big cards, the Hollywood standard is a joke. Brother KING is a big name like that. I don't It's a small card. How to play it!"
Sha Ganglang didn't intend to let him go, and then said, "But when we heard that "A Comic Breaks the World" came to you at that time, you offered a super high salary of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and also said that a Hollywood film dealer came to you. The salary was 500,000 US dollars, which was almost 5 million Hong Kong dollars. So three million is a discounted human price.
Chen Jin knew that there was really a Hollywood film dealer who had asked Zhang Weijian. He also flew to Los Angeles for an audition. Unfortunately, it was a different culture after all. Moreover, Zhang Weijian is still a little too young now. He played well before, but Chen Jin taught him little by little, and there is a fixed mode that can be set, which is naturally easier.
"A Comic Breaks the World" is Zhou Xingchi's famous work. Is this the second part? It's just to see that Zhou Xingchi is now very popular. I want to take this opportunity to play with Zhang Weijian, who is also a funny and a little famous person. You know, Zhou Xingchi's current salary is hundreds of millions, except for Hong Kong. Chen Jin is him, and he even said that the last "Happy Family" was priced at 20 million yuan.
Of course, that's a joke. Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal is about 40 million. Except for the distribution fee, the film dealer has to lose money. Chen Jin knows that Master Xing now usually makes his own films, and one of them has an average profit of about 12 million. Last time, "Happy Family" Looking for him, he was priced at 15 million, because he almost got into trouble with others because of this.
Unfortunately, Zhang Weijian also suddenly rose. The previous budget of hundreds of thousands of yuan suddenly increased to three million. The film dealer was naturally very annoyed. You know, this second film is to follow the trend. He probably wants to make more than 10 million yuan at the box office to make a little money, but if Zhang Weijian alone accounts for 3 million, he will not have it in the end. They have to make money, and even if they go to Waterloo at the box office, they will lose a lot.
