Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 455 Rejection

"How much does New Line intend to bid?"

He Jin asked.

"For one million U.S. dollars, we want all the North American rights, including the right of first refusal for the subsequent installments of the series!"

Jester spoke, gesturing with one finger.

"Mr. Jester is so generous! But if it's at this price, I'm sorry."

He Jin smiled and refused directly.

New Line Cinema found them wanting to buy the rights to "The Fast and the Furious" just one day after it was released, which naturally shows that they are very optimistic about this film.

One million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is probably more than seven million, which is not a lot.

But since he knows that the other party is optimistic about this film, and He Jin is also optimistic about "Fast and Furious", He Jin will naturally not agree to sell "Fast and Furious" at this price.

"How much does Mr. He think is appropriate?"

What he said is that New Line and Warner are two departments of the same company.

This damn foreigner is sowing discord.

The reason why they are so anxious now is that they want to buy it at a low price before the Hong Kong box office has exploded.

Andy Lau smiled.

In the car, He Jin took the initiative to explain to Andy Lau the reasons for not selling the copyright to New Line.

The reason why they contacted Jackie Chan so urgently and asked him to help introduce He Jin and Andy Lau was because they wanted to win this film as soon as possible!

When he came to the Gionee Hotel, he heard that someone at the head office was interested in the film.

Even though I am unhappy, I still have to do business.

He Jin said.

In addition, you can get the most benefits by shopping around. Since New Line can come to our door, other companies will come too, so we don’t need to agree to them so quickly!”

After a pause, he continued: "Even if no one else comes to the door.

Anni's words made He Jin's eyes turn cold.

Anni's sowing discord made He Jin feel unhappy. He didn't want to stay any longer and stood up to say goodbye.

Based on the influence of the album, as long as the film is not bad, a large number of fans will pay for it.

“Let’s all reject it at first. Once the box office in Xiangjiang comes down, the price will be better negotiated.

By then, maybe our final price for this film will become a new record for Hong Kong movies being introduced to Hollywood."

"Mr. Anni, just do what I said and we can talk about it after the film is released in Hong Kong. Well, if you still want to talk about it then."

He Jin looked at An Ni, and he had already seen that An Ni was the one who made the decision between the two.

Andy Lau said directly without hesitation.

Annie spoke, and he went straight to the topic.

Toot toot………

After that, they only need more than 10 million at the Hong Kong box office to make their money back, and the remaining Asian distribution rights, plus the VCD distribution they control in Hong Kong, are all just money earned.

.

"this……"

When the time comes, we won’t have to worry about selling this film.”

Moreover, I am not a person who is greedy for money. The reason why I wanted you to agree just now is just because I yearn for Hollywood."

New Line needs to make business for Warner to support their independence, while Time Warner has always wanted to see New Line's business fail and then merge New Line into the parent company.

Although New Line is part of Time Warner, there is still competition between the two.

He Jin said.

Hearing this, Andy Lau's eyes lit up, "Which company?"

Andy Lau knows very well that although He Jin is younger than him, this guy has already entered the international community and knows more about Hollywood than he does.

"Two million US dollars, Mr. He should know that two million US dollars is already the highest bid for a Hong Kong movie. If you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Jackie Chan. His "Drunken Master 2" only cost 1.5 million US dollars.

After he became famous, Big Brother gradually disappeared, smaller phones became popular, and then, not long after, Ericsson mobile phones appeared again.

And he has a market in North America."

So, he hid the quote that came to his lips and said instead:

"Now that "The Fast and the Furious" has just been released, neither of us can accurately judge the market for this film. How about we wait until "The Fast and the Furious" is released to discuss it?"

"You don't have to explain it to me. When you approached me for investment, you told me that this film would be led by you.

"I'm sorry, what He Jin means is what I mean! He can fully represent me."

"Junichi Watanabe from Warner Records contacted my assistant and said he wanted to talk to us. It is said that people from Warner Times are interested in "Fast and Furious"."

My tour will go to Europe and the United States, and PolyGram has already started promoting this tour. As long as the tour ends, my popularity in Europe and the United States will further increase.

If Ani can really come up with a suitable price, he will still give him the North American rights.

After hearing the quote of two million US dollars, not only Jackie Chan looked at He Jin, but also Andy Lau.

"Interesting, two departments in one company!"

Although he does have the right to sell copyrights, he will not do such a thing that damages the brotherhood.

There will definitely be a market for this kind of film compared to simple Kung Fu films.

"Mr. Liu, as far as I know, you own half of the copyright of this film, and you have the right to speak."

He Jin opened his mouth and was about to make a quotation, but he suddenly thought that since New Line Cinema would come to the door, would other Hollywood companies come to the door?

If other companies discover this film and are interested in it, does that mean they can shop around?

He Jin shook his head.

If the North American distribution rights were sold to New Line Cinema now, they would be able to recoup half of their original investment immediately.

Our film is not a simple kung fu film, but a passionate and passionate commercial film.

"Feel sorry!"

After answering the call, He Jin hung up the phone, looked at Andy Lau with a smile, and shook his phone, "Hey, someone has contacted us, and it's also a Hollywood company."

He Jin smiled.

He Jin's refusal made Annie frown and look at Andy Lau.

"Brother Long, I'm sorry, I have to attend a concert tomorrow, so I won't stay any longer. I'll treat you to another day when I'm free!"

"Two million US dollars is indeed a lot, but that's for ordinary movies and other actors. You may not know that my "MyLove" may top the list of the North American Billboard next week.

Although he doesn't understand why He Jin disagrees, Andy Lau knows very well that he and He Jin are now one.

Annie looked at He Jin and said.

When I first came to Hong Kong, BB machines and Big Brother were popular at that time.

Two million US dollars, this amount is almost the highest price ever paid for a film that Hong Kong has introduced to Hollywood.

Indeed, due to investment reasons, the copyright of this film is half shared by Hua Yan and Tian Mu, and Andy Lau also has the right to speak.

Andy Lau said with a smile.

"Okay, I will leave this matter to you. If anyone comes to me, I will tell you that you are in charge of this matter."

"I'll take a call!" He Jin looked at the newly purchased Ericsson phone.

Jester suddenly looked at Annie.

Sometimes He Jin feels that communication equipment changes so quickly.

Although we didn't sign a contract, we brothers still have to keep our word.

"Understood, we brothers don't talk about this!"

The current investment amount for "Fast and Furious" is around 27 million.

Moreover, when it comes to business, he knows very well that he is not very good at it.

Therefore, he simply ignored the matter and let He Jin handle it.

"Well, I will continue to have concerts tomorrow. I will ask the people from the arrangement company to talk to them. You can bring a few leading actors here and do a few more promotions to try to increase the box office in Hong Kong.

We now have a good reputation, and as long as the local box office in Xiangjiang increases, their quotation will be higher."
