The day after he greeted Wang Jing, according to rumors, Zhang Xu, the boss of the Raptors Gang, exposed the horseman below this day, arrested him at a lover in the countryside, and reported him to his subordinates and the public. He collected dozens of charges, and the big and small sums together, and he directly gave him a death penalty.

When we were cutting films with Wang Jing at night, both of us were still feeling that these officials were much more cruel than them and their methods were much more harsh. This was what it meant to be a real blow and leave no room for anything.

Therefore, Chen Jin was very careful next time. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid of if he was not afraid of it. He still had the ability to protect himself, but Joey Wong and Li Jiaxin were weak women. If they were foolish, he would not have time to regret it.

Fortunately, Mayor Hou may not be so stingy. Of course, it is more likely that he has found out Chen Jin's identity and endured this for the sake of future.

In early December, the filming in Qingdao finally ended, and the rest were some scenes in Hong Kong. Chen Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. "The Jedi Men" also completed all the post-production, ready to take it out for a walk, see if it was a mule or a horse, and conduct the final identification.

To be honest, Chen Jin felt that the film he shot was much better than the original one, such as costumes and props photography, especially the kung fu fight scenes, and the various racing stunts also performed more sharply. Perhaps the only thing to be tested is the funny skills of him and Jacky Cheung, and whether their dialogues can be accepted by the American and overseas audiences.

As early as early November, when the filming was just completed, the first trailer was already on TV commercials across Hong Kong and outdoors. The moment before it was finally produced, December 1st, the second edition, that is, the ultimate trailer, began to be played on TV media.

Without seeing the whole picture, the media across Hong Kong could not make too many comments. However, from the trailer that lasted more than two minutes, you can always see something, and it is always not a big deal to write something.

Is it inappropriate or take a different approach to bring you an unexpected surprise? I watched the short film very well and I am very happy. I hope it is the latter! - "Hot Topics of the Week"

King Chen's level seemed to have improved again. He began to move closer to Hollywood. In just over two minutes, he showed us enough highlights, such as dialogue, acting skills, and racing. They are all so exciting and humorous. At this moment, I can't wait - He Zidong, "Oriental Daily".

Well, I admit that a 60 million investment can at least get a box office of 50 million, but what about the others. To be honest, King Chen showed his figure and charm coquettishly in the movie, especially when his fancy shirt reveals his perfect upper body running, it will definitely attract those women and some men, but that's 60 million, my goodness! What should I say! - "Entertainment Infinite" Sha Ganglang

It must be said that this is a drama of two men. The first time, women are actually dispensable. Although King Chen still puts all his beloved women in the movie, it is just a proof of his love and has nothing to do with the movie. I really want to say that what he wants to shoot is a Western film. Is there any exciting scene in it? Looking forward to it - Ke Fan of "Entertainment Weekly"

Although I can't see too much content, the two trailers are exciting and eye-catching enough, slowly shifting the audience's attention to "The Jedi Men". When it is actually released, a trend will appear.

The film will be released soon, but Chen Jin's first thing now is to accompany Chen Guobao to watch the final edited video with James, the senior vice president of Universal Pictures, and his group. Of course, Wang Jing and Chen Zichen are also there.

After nearly two hours of movies were played, Chen Jin was really satisfied. He felt that he was doing well, even Chen Guobao and others were all happy, but Mr. James and others were calm and could not tell how much emotion they were.

When he came out to the small conference room outside, James still shook hands with Chen Jin and the others calmly, and said a few good things. However, his expression made people feel that it was more polite and perfunctory.

Wang Jing and the others were thrusting their hearts at first, but when Chen Jin turned around, his evil six senses suddenly made him see a hint of joy in the eyes of the vice president, although it was hidden very well. After discovering, looking at his followers, there were some clues, especially after Chen Jin's careful observation, it could not be hidden at all.

Next is talking about the details of the release. James looked embarrassed, as if he had reluctantly agreed to the overseas release because of the relationship between Jinchen Group and Universal Records. However, he asked the distribution fee to be 60% of the film's revenue.

Nana is really too damning. The North American film distribution system only charges 50% of the publisher, and in Hong Kong, the highest is 53%. Even if it is 55%, Chen Jin thought that this was the first time and was an old friend of Global again, and he wanted to grit his teeth and agree.

Unexpectedly, these guys were so greedy. Since that’s the case, Chen Jin also took the initiative to reciprocate. "Mr. James, if you think this video is difficult to release, then we can find Twenty-first Century Fox. Their business in Asia is very good, and we also have an investment film called "Farewell My Concubine" that is negotiating with them."

Seeing James's changing face, Chen Jin sneered in his heart, and it was still faint on the surface, "Mr. James, I think I have to make a statement, because this film was invested by my company, and because the cooperation with your company's record is very pleasant, I will try to carry out our first cooperation in films, rather than no one can cooperate, nor is it praying for anything. I think our relationship is equal."

James calmed down and smiled, "king, I understand what you mean, it's not that it's difficult to release. We Global still have the ability to do this, but you should know that if the final box office of the film is very poor, Global said in the early publicity that the distribution fee will be difficult to recover, and even lose all of it. I hope you can understand this."

This is indeed a very legitimate reason. It was forced to be released, but the final box office was not ideal. It was not uncommon for Chen Jin to lose his pants at all. He was even less anxious. He smiled and Chen Zichen knew that the bad guy had bad intentions again. "Okay, Mr. James, then we will make a very simple agreement. With the standard of 40 million US dollars, if the box office revenue in the United States is between 40 million and 50 million US dollars, then 60% is the issuance fee. If it exceeds 50 million, you can only charge 50%, and if it reaches 60 million US dollars, it is 40%. Of course, if it is less than 40 million, I am willing to pay you 70% of the issuance fee. What do you think of this idea..."

When everyone thought he was crazy, he continued: "Or, based on the global box office, the center line is 100 million US dollars, 100 million US dollars, 70% of them, 110 million, 50% of them, 120 million, 40% of them, and finally 40% of them as the final point, how about it?"

This is equivalent to a very simple commercial betting agreement and a competitive box office share ratio. For unknowns, this is quite risky. Of course, if you win, the benefits will naturally be jealous.

Chen Jin was actually not sure about anything, but he didn't care. He just needed to do his best to carry out the distribution work. Is the result? He has tried his best, and it will be discussed whether it is better.

James was very surprised. He actually liked the movie "The Jedi Men". It was very good, whether it was the lines that were singular, various fighting scenes, racing stunts, or even explosion scenes.

The script is of course also very good, but what James appreciates the most is that this is not a Hong Kong movie that imitates Hollywood and then becomes unconventional. He already has the essence of Hollywood movies and can even make the audience forget in the compact plot that this is a movie starring a yellow-skinned Asian.

However, no matter how much you appreciate it, no matter how much you like it, it is still a Hong Kong movie. With this skin outside, a lot of audiences will be lost. This is determined by the Americans' potential heart. They have a prejudice in their bones. They only like to watch what they make. Other movies are really hard to recognize.

The box office of the United States is 50 million US dollars, and the global is 110 million US dollars, and the issuance fee is 50%. Otherwise, there will be a high issuance fee of 60% or even 70%.

When James heard this condition, he had already agreed. This was also determined by his American heart. It was difficult for him to believe the super high box office results Chen Jin said. You must know that even an authentic Hollywood movie would be difficult to get.

However, he remained calm and just smiled faintly, "king, have you really thought it through? Although I admire your adventurous spirit and your confidence, I have to remind you that sometimes it is better to be cautious." Of course, he was not kind-hearted, but just provoking. He understood the arrogant mentality of young people today.

Sure enough, Chen Jin was obviously "successful" and shook his head with a smile, "Mr. James, what I need now is your answer. I think the days around Christmas should be a very good time."

James didn't say much at this time, stood up, shook hands with Chen Jin with a smile, "Ok, king, let me think about it for a day, and contact the headquarters, see you tomorrow."
