Chapter 291 Hollywood Film Project South Korean Film Project Hong Kong Film Project
Chapter 291 Hollywood movie project, South Korean movie project, Hong Kong movie project...
After the Qinglong Film Festival, Chen Fei and CJ's people sat at the negotiating table again.
The fish has bitten the hook and can be pulled up!
In view of the huge sales of "New World" and its social influence in South Korea, CJ's president in charge of film and television came to the conference room in person to negotiate with Chen Fei.
"Director Chen, you can tell from previous cooperation that CJ is definitely your most loyal partner. We very much look forward to cooperating with you again."
Chen Fei smiled, what he said was true.
The box office share and copyright share were immediately transferred to Feiyue Film and Television’s account, and various subsequent shares are also arriving one after another.
The reasonable distribution of interests will always be the basis for subsequent cooperation between both parties!
"President Pu, there will be no problem with subsequent cooperation. I also trust your ability very much, but the success of "New World" also proves the quality of my script, right?"
"Yes, do you have any requirements?" The other party also focused on efficiency.
Chen Fei didn't talk nonsense to him, and went straight to the point: "The share given to me by ShowBox is 40%, plus 5% investment share, so what kind of sincerity can CJ give me?"
Assi!
After hearing Chen Fei's words, many people in the conference room began to curse in their hearts.
Give so many shares?
ShowBox is all bad, right?
Can you still make money by riding a horse?
However, they could only complain a few words in their hearts.
The competition in the South Korean film and television industry is already very fierce. In order to win over Chen Fei, it is not abnormal for ShowBox to give such a high share allocation.
It’s nothing more than making less money.
Taking a deep breath, President Pu of CJ said bluntly: "On this basis, we are willing to increase the investment share to 10%!"
All in all, Chen Fei has received 50% of the top share, which is already a 50-50 split.
He only needs to provide the script and 10% of the investment share, and he can get half of the final box office share, which is equivalent to CJ working for him.
This deal was done well!
Of course, although CJ lost a lot of profits, it also gained gains in terms of "fame".
A popular movie can not only increase the company's stock price, but also increase CJ's voice in the South Korean film and television industry.
Overall, this is a win-win cooperation, with Chen Fei gaining "profit" and Xijie gaining "fame".
But because the opportunity to win the title was given to them by Chen Fei, CJ looked like an otaku looking at a goddess, and they all wanted to lick Chen Fei like a dog.
"Then I wish us happy cooperation."
Chen Fei stood up and handed a script to the other party with a smile.
A group of people craned their necks to look around and saw three big words written on the cover of the script.
"defender"
…
On the 25th, CJ held a media conference.
Park Seo-han, as the representative, announced at the meeting that he had reached a cooperation with Chen Fei on the new script "The Defender".
Although the investment shares of both parties were not disclosed, it can be seen from the bright smile on Chen Fei's face that this wave is definitely profitable.
When it was Chen Fei's turn to speak, he said with a smile: "I will serve as the producer of this film and provide appropriate assistance for the filming..."
This sentence is naturally a "face project".
After the meeting, the news quickly spread throughout South Korea's major portals and print media.
ShowBox received the news immediately.
"Axi! CJ got the better of us again!"
Park Bucheng was furious, especially when he thought about being deceived by a "female liar" recently, he felt even more resentful.
"Continue to allocate appropriate resources to Lin Yuner and contact reporters in China. I want to anonymously expose the misdeeds of that female liar."
"Okay, I understand."
A clerk turned around and left.
Jiang Yiyan had done many stupid things in the name of Chen Fei before, but what she didn't know was that all the things she did were used as leverage by CJ's people.
South Korea has a very high talent for "candid photography"!
That is to say, Chen Fei is more cautious. Every time he comes to stay in a hotel, he will check every corner of the room very rigorously to ensure that he will not let the other party get the most private information.
What happened to Yang Mi later made him take warning at all times!
As for his relationship with Li Zhien and Lin Yuner, it actually doesn't matter at all.
He is considered half a chaebol after all, so what does sleeping with two female idols mean?
Let alone two, according to the "traditional customs" here in South Korea, it would not be a problem for him to cultivate a girl group by himself.
The term "harem" is already common in South Korea.
…
No. 27, Hong Kong Island International Airport.
After landing in Hong Kong, Chen Fei met Huo Qigang who came to pick him up.
As soon as he got in the car, he joked: "Why are you alone today? Where is my sister-in-law?"
"I haven't seen her for several months during the national team training."
Huo Qigang sighed, his eyes full of sadness, like a pig's head being thrown away by a swallow.
"It's a good thing that someone wants to participate in the Olympics and win glory for the country. Why are you acting like the national team has taken away your wife? Is that necessary?"
Chen Fei was speechless. This love-brained man was hopeless.
"I hope the Olympics can be successfully held, and I hope Guo Jingjing can win the championship. Then we can get married."
"You are quite affectionate!"
"What about you? Do you need me to introduce you to a girlfriend?"
"No, I'm still young, and there are a lot of good times waiting to be enjoyed. I don't want to step into the grave of marriage so early."
"How good is marriage? How can it be a grave?"
"..."
Chen Fei chose to shut up directly. He was ready to wait and see when this guy would be scolded by Guo Jingjing after marriage.
Originally, he was going to go back to the capital directly, but it happened that "October Besieged City" was going to hold a wrap-up party.
This was the first work after the acquisition of Golden Harvest. As a major shareholder, he naturally had to come to support it. In addition, Yinghuan and Media Asia had invited him several times, so he could just come and sit with them.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go directly to the banquet. It's about to start. Many friends are waiting for you."
"The Besieged City" has an all-star cast, and the actors selected cover the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, especially in Hong Kong, where many actors are participating.
This wrap-up banquet is also an opportunity to build relationships. Huo Qigang sent invitations to all film and television agencies in Hong Kong except Yongsheng and China Star Group.
Since the Xiang family began to enter the Japanese market, they have been completely abandoned by Golden Harvest.
Although Huo Qigang looks smiling all day and looks easy to get along with, his temper and methods are no worse than Chen Fei!
I don't know when it started, but Chen Fei felt that his appearance seemed to be getting bigger and bigger...
For example, today, when he and Huo Qigang rushed to the wrap-up banquet together, they saw a group of people coming to greet them before they had time to get off the car.
Yang Shouchen, Huo Wenxi, Zhuang Cheng, Shi Nansheng and others were in the first echelon, followed by a group of film and television company bosses, artists, etc.
"Director Chen, haha, welcome to Hong Kong again."
Yang Shouchen was the oldest and had the highest status among those present, so he was the first representative to shake hands with Chen Fei.
"Director Yang, long time no see."
Chen Fei responded with a smile.
Many people were greeting him around, and there were a bunch of reporters outside. The flash lights directly raised the brightness of the scene by several levels.
"Shall we go in first?" Chen Fei was not used to being surrounded by so many people.
"Okay, let's go."
A group of people surrounded him and walked into the venue.
Because the banquet had not officially started yet, Chen Fei could see that celebrities were still rushing to the door while chatting with Yang Shouchen, Shi Nansheng and others.
The four kings were all present. When Liu Dehua saw Chen Fei, his eyes lit up and he hurried up to greet him.
This person also had a different acting contract. After the end of "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon", he heard that he took on another "Dragon and Phoenix" and partnered with Shu Qi.
"Brother Hua? Is there a chance for us to work together?"
After finally coming here, Chen Fei is not going to come in vain. He has already selected several scripts and will continue his relationship with several partners after today's wrap-up banquet.
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say this."
Liu Dehua was very excited. Although his popularity is high, he always feels that he can't carry the box office. Now he urgently needs a high-grossing work to prove himself.
"What about me? Don't leave me behind. I'm idle recently."
There was a shout from the side. Chen Fei turned his head and saw Chen Long coming over happily, also shouting for cooperation.
"The Forbidden Kingdom" has been completed, but the release date is set in 2008.
"Rush Hour 3" has won a box office of 258 million US dollars since its global release in August, which is really disappointing compared to the previous two.
The investment of up to 120 million US dollars made New Line Entertainment bleed a lot, but unfortunately it failed to save the glory of this series in the end.
Most fans who have seen the film say that the plot of the third part is boring and clichéd, and it is suspected of wasting the acting skills of the two protagonists. They also think that it is the worst of the many Hollywood trilogy sequels in this summer.
Obviously, this series is completely over.
Like Liu Dehua, Chen Long is currently looking for a new breakthrough to reproduce his glory in Hollywood!
Chen Fei looked at Chen Long with a smile and said, "Are you free tomorrow? Let's meet. I just wrote a script recently. I think it is suitable for you."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Chen Long was surprised: "Is there really a script?"
He just said a joke.
"Yes, it really is."
Chen Fei responded very affirmatively.
"Okay, then I will go to you tomorrow."
The two of them set the schedule for tomorrow in a few words, which made the people around them a little envious.
But on second thought, their eyes lit up again!
That's not right?
This gentleman flew here from South Korea on purpose. Isn't he preparing a big wave?
For a moment, many people thought of the "1.5 billion US dollar movie plan" a few days ago.
"Ip Man 2" and "Overheard 2" were both great successes, and "October Besieged" was officially announced to be completed. Doesn't it have to start the journey all over again?
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became excited as if they had discovered a new world.
As time passed, the sky darkened, all the invited guests arrived, and the dinner officially began.
The waiter carried a tray with red wine glasses and shuttled through the crowd. There were also various pastries on the side, which felt like a buffet.
"Director Chen, let me introduce you to these two, who are the recent main combination of Yinghuan, Gillian and Asa."
Huo Wenxi led the two girls and introduced them to Chen Fei in detail.
"In addition to being singers, they have also studied acting. Gillian even participated in "Mei Lanfang" directed by Brother Chen Kai, playing the young Mei Lanfang..."
"Well, they look pretty good. You can consider acting in idol dramas."
Chen Fei gave a fair evaluation.
"If there is a suitable role, I hope Director Chen can give us a chance."
"Let's practice Mandarin first."
"Okay..."
The two girls looked a little embarrassed. Huo Wenxi also smiled a little embarrassedly and added hurriedly: "We Yinghuan have been following up on this aspect and will definitely arrange for the artists to practice Mandarin hard."
"Yeah."
Chen Fei responded and didn't continue to answer.
As an actor, using dubbing is actually a very embarrassing behavior.
What he wants are actors like Zhou Xun and Wang Zhiwen. If their acting skills are not good, they can be adjusted, but whether an actor's line skills are good enough depends entirely on whether they work hard in normal times!
Liu Yifei is an example. Although this girl has not been to school much, she is hardworking enough, otherwise she would not have been able to get the role of "Mulan".
Just then, Yang Shouchen suddenly walked up to Chen Fei with a girl.
"Director Chen, this is Bai Bing, a newly signed artist under Yinghuan Entertainment. She is currently playing the role of Xue Baochai in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions."
Yo?
Looking at the round-faced girl in front of him, Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Ice and snow are slightly sweet"... It seems that this person is the "ice" in the four major groups.
"Hello."
"Hello, Director Chen, I often heard Jing Tian mention you before, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet you."
"Oh? Do you know Jing Tian?"
"Yes, we are both from the northwest, and we are all fellow villagers."
The word "fellow villager" is very powerful in the entertainment industry, because it means complicated interpersonal relationships, and it is very likely that you have become relatives with a certain director.
Yang Shouchen helped by saying: "Director Chen, if there is a role suitable for her, you can contact me and I will arrange for her to audition."
"Okay."
Being able to be personally introduced by Yang Shouchen, this person's starting point is already very high.
Perhaps in the future, there will be another example of "bringing money into the group".
At this time, Chen Fei suddenly thought of someone again: "By the way, Mr. Yang, the He Yunshi I told you about last time..."
"It has been handled. She promises not to appear in any program related to Yinghuan in the future."
"Okay, thank you."
After the Golden Eagle Awards last year, He Yunshi had a conflict with Liu Yifei. After returning to Hong Kong, she found many media to deliberately discredit her.
After knowing this, Chen Fei directly called Yinghuan and Media Asia and asked them to help deal with it.
A year has passed. If he hadn't come to Hong Kong, Chen Fei would have almost forgotten the woman who was called "Anita Mui's disciple".
…
After the wrap-up banquet, Chen Fei rejected the invitation of Yang Shouchen, Zhuang Cheng and others, and followed Huo Qigang back to his residence in Hong Kong.
"October Besieged City" officially entered post-production, and the next step was to start a new plan. He had to discuss it with the second largest shareholder first.
The next day, Chen Long came to Golden Harvest first.
Chen Fei didn't hesitate to take out the script of "The Chinese Zodiac".
"Here, take a look at this script first."
After taking the script from Chen Fei, Chen Long first glanced at the title, and then immersed himself in the story of the script.
At the same time, Chen Fei and Huo Qigang got up and left the office and came to another meeting room.
The people of Yinghuan were already waiting here.
"Director Yang, I have already told Director Huo last time that the "Ip Man" series can be stopped for a while. You can take a look at this script."
While speaking, Chen Fei took out a script from his bag and handed it to Yang Shouchen.
"Drug eradication?"
Huo Wenxi whispered to herself, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"You guys take a look first, I have something to do over there, we'll see you later."
After saying hello, Chen Fei and Huo Qigang turned around and went to another meeting room.
Zhuang Cheng and Shi Nansheng of Media Asia were already waiting here.
"The "Overheard 3" series can continue. At present, the box office of this series of movies is still quite good."
While speaking, Chen Fei took out two scripts from his bag.
Holding the script of Overheard 3 in his hand, Zhuang Cheng looked at the cover of another script with some curiosity.
"Fighting?"
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded, smiling: "I hope these two movies can appear in 2008 and 2009 respectively."
There is no need for Chen Fei to come forward for the subsequent negotiations. In this regard, Huo Qigang and the Golden Harvest team are the most professional.
"Zodiac", "Drug War", "Overheard 3", "Fighting", these four movies are prepared by him to win over more partners.
As for Golden Harvest, which has just finished "October Besieged City", it will launch the "Cold War" series next.
While these old actors in Hong Kong can still act, we must get them moving.
Otherwise, when they get older, they really can't do it anymore!
For example, Chen Long's physical fitness in "Rush Hour 3" is obviously declining rapidly, and it is obvious that he can no longer withstand the high-intensity action scenes.
While he can still make a difference in the furniture market, coupled with the recent popularity of Mr. He buying the "Horse Head", it is just right to launch this "The Chinese Zodiac".
The negotiations went very smoothly.
On the last day of November, Golden Harvest, Yinghuan, Media Asia, and Chen Long International Film Co., Ltd. held a press conference and announced the next film plan.
When Huo Qigang read out the five film plans of "The Chinese Zodiac", "Drug War", "Overheard 3", "Fight", and "Cold War", the flash lights in the audience were directly connected!
Chen Fei was invited to speak on the stage.
"You don't need to go looking for any gossip. These five movies are all written by me, and I will participate in the filming of the movies as a producer. Please wait and see."
"Click, click, click!"
Instantly, the shutter sounds became one after another!
The news spread back to the mainland, causing an uproar again!
Sina.com even posted a bold and enlarged headline:
[Hollywood movie plan, South Korean movie plan, Hong Kong movie plan, the name of "script midas touch" is unquestionable! ]
