Chapter 281 Departing for Europe

Jiahe thought that He Jin's overseas copyright of "Yin Yang Road" was still in their hands, so they called specifically to ask him not to act rashly for the time being.

What does it mean not to act rashly?

In fact, it means that everyone is on the same front. Taiwanese film producers are all paper tigers, and the inventory in their hands can only last for three months.

As long as all our producers in Hong Kong do not agree to sell the Taiwanese copyright at a low price, they will definitely come to us and beg us in three months.

When the time comes, we, the producers, can naturally continue to enjoy the spicy food.

The Taiwan market has always been the main export destination for Hong Kong films.

Let’s put it this way! In recent years, except for a few movies in Hong Kong.

For many other movies, regardless of the local box office, Taiwanese film studios will purchase the rights at a very high price.

It can be said that many film producers can basically make their money back by selling copyrights in Taiwan.

Now, Taiwan has to set a maximum price.

How could Xiangjiang agree to such a thing?

Because in He Jin's expectation, this MV needed to use some explosion scenes, so he specially found Chen Xunqi and borrowed a few people from his flying dragon stunts.

Although there were many people, there were only five people who actually belonged to the filming crew.

The next day after returning to Xiangjiang, He Jin contacted several directors he knew to see if they were available.

He invested a total of four million in this movie. As a result, up to now, without counting the share of the video market, he only sold the overseas copyright, plus the box office share, he has received more than one million.

In terms of net profit, including the video, he expects that this movie will earn him about 20 million.

…

Just when He Jin thought it was impossible and asked Chen Jinhui to help with the shooting, a director actually came to the door.

But knowing that He Jin planned to invest a lot of money in filming, and that he couldn't find a job at the moment, he could only try his luck.

Therefore, he specially found ten people who knew how to play with weapons. When he arrived in Africa, he would equip them with weapons just in case.

The director has solved it, and then comes the MV screenwriter and other various team members.

I think our MV can completely recreate the scene at that time and directly restore and film the plot at that time, which should be able to achieve the effect you mentioned!"

The initial plan for his three music videos is to shoot them in the UK and Africa.

But He Jin didn’t want to find the actor from Xiangjiang.

And Johnnie To, in just one month, went from a well-known director in Hong Kong to a person with nothing to film.

"I checked the news in March about the IRA bombing.

It is said that several companies that had signed contracts with him to make films have kicked him out one after another.

And here in Hong Kong, many production companies are also hostile to Johnnie To because his "Ji Gong" has caused such big trouble.

Although Johnnie To is very dissatisfied with the MV.

After everything was ready, on the 25th, He Jin and a group of more than 20 people boarded a plane to London, England.

That kind of gap makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, until the afternoon, I contacted five or six people I knew, and basically all of them rejected his invitation to shoot the MV.

As the director of the movie "Ji Gong", although Johnnie To's movie actually made money for Yong Sheng.

Then, a friend told him about He Jin inviting people to shoot the MV.

It is also the trigger, Stephen Chow is still the gold that major companies covet.

To be honest, if the copyright of "Yin Yang Road" had not been issued, then He Jin might not have joined this camp.

Johnnie To has fully integrated himself into the role of He Jin's MV director, and has begun to worry about the difficulties of filming.

After all, we are going to Africa this time for filming. Although we are not going to fight, the place is in a mess, with all kinds of burning, killing and looting happening all the time. If there is no one to protect me, He Jin really wouldn't dare to go there.

Unfortunately, the overseas rights to his "Yin Yang Road Part Two" were sold two weeks in advance, just before the movie was about to be released.

Now, he has no film at all, so of course he doesn't need to get involved.

After all these are resolved, the only thing left behind is the actors.

If Johnnie To was a director in the past, he would definitely get a share, but now...

Speaking of "Yin Yang Road 2", He Jin feels more and more that it is so exciting to be his own boss.

Since the filming takes place in these two places, the actors cannot be Asian faces, but must use local faces.

The other ten people were He Jin's bodyguards.

"This should be no problem. I have asked Zheng Donghan to contact their PolyGram headquarters. PolyGram will then find a way to help us solve this problem!"

As for the screenwriter, He Jin's idea is dispensable. If there is a story that suits his songs, he will naturally accept it.

Therefore, all the producers in Hong Kong have chosen not to provide films to Taiwan for the time being.

Therefore, He Jin finally paid him 500,000 yuan to direct and help He Jin shoot the MV.

He Jin replied.

Therefore, he didn't care about Johnnie To and signed a contract with him soon after he came to visit him.

But it was uncomfortable. As a director and screenwriter, he had to find a new job.

In Taiwan, many film producers regard him as a director who cannot make money. Whether his films are accepted or not is one thing.

Therefore, He Jin is not worried about filming in London at all.

As the world's largest record company, with its headquarters in London, if it can't even handle this kind of thing, then PolyGram should give way.

But as the main culprit that caused Taiwanese film producers to collectively lower prices, Johnnie To was having a really hard time during this period.

In addition, since this is a MV for He Jin, we can’t give him a share of the record!

For He Jin, whether Johnnie To can make a blockbuster movie has nothing to do with him.

This person is none other than Johnnie To, the director of the movie "Ji Gong" that led to Taiwanese film producers jointly lowering prices for Hong Kong films.

All he needs is a director with strong shooting skills and experience in shooting various large-scale scenes.

If not, the worst he can do is make one up.

On the plane, Johnnie To and He Jin were discussing the MV for the song "Zombie".

However, these guys are either filming, or they are involved in the Taiwanese film studio's price reduction and cannot leave.

"Also, I wonder if filming is allowed in Warrington Center? If we want to restore it, we will definitely have to blast it. It is one of the most prosperous places in London. It should be very difficult to shoot blasts there!"

Now he is more concerned about the shooting of the next two MVs.

Africa, this place...
