Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 476 Four Million Dollars

It's been over a week since The Fast and the Furious was released.

Over the past week, film producers in Hollywood have been in contact with Hua Ren, including New Line Film Company, which had previously talked with He Jin and Andy Lau.

Last time, New Line Cinema offered two million US dollars, but He Jin rejected it.

As the box office of Fast and Furious continues to rise in Hong Kong, and several Hollywood studios have joined the competition, the bids for this film are getting higher and higher.

Yesterday, New Line Cinema offered a price that no other company could afford.

Four million dollars.

Some people may think this price is too low.

In fact, if we take it seriously, this price is not low. It has even broken the current record of the price paid by Hollywood studios for purchasing films in Hong Kong.

In addition, someone may have said that you can play the gambling agreement and get a share.

However, although the news of "One Emperor and Four Kings" only existed for a day, many people still knew about it and even took it seriously.

Moreover, this rule is beneficial to them.

As for the reason - rules.

When Andy Lau heard that New Line Cinema planned to purchase the film for four million, he immediately became excited.

However, what puzzles all the citizens is that yesterday, "One Emperor and Four Kings" was obviously selling very well, but there was no newspaper report in just one day.

In fact, it was done, but people didn’t agree.

Yes, these foreigners will not agree to the existence of sharing and gambling agreements.

"Hong Kong has 30 million Hong Kong dollars, Taiwan has 15 million, Singapore and other places have 20 million, Japan has 30 million, and South Korea has 10 million.

When citizens who understand the entertainment industry see this situation, they naturally understand that someone is trying hard to suppress the news.

Andy Lau calculated the profit of this drama and immediately burst into joy.

To put it bluntly, it is a market monopoly. Everyone buys movies at a very low price. If someone breaks this rule, he will basically be banned by all other Hollywood film companies.

As for movies, he really doesn't have much appeal. There may be fans who go to see his movies, but it's unclear how many people go there.

They buy movies just to make money.

But his popularity is mainly reflected in the music scene.

Four million U.S. dollars converted into RMB is about 29 million.

And "Fast and Furious" is obviously not included in this list.

Look at the movies they selected, almost all of them were bought at very low prices and then made a lot of money.

So, when New Line offered to buy Fast and Furious for $4 million, he was ready to agree.

Isn’t it a good idea to just buy it out at one price and make a pure profit?

As for sharing, don't even think about it. Even if it's 1%, these Hollywood studios won't be willing to do it.

…

He Jin did not explain this.

Since he likes your film, it proves that he believes that this film will make him money.

Andy Lau looked at He Jin in confusion.

The "King of K-Song" ep was released two days ago. With four songs, "King of K-Song" topped the list, while "Heart-to-Heart", "Confidant Self", and "Blood Burning" ranked fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

Since you can make money, why would people bet against you?

Since American movies can be released in China, then "The Fast and the Furious" can naturally be released as well."

This is not a small amount of money, but with this money, "Fast and Furious" has paid back its money.

Okay, it’s great to follow you, kid!”

In the afternoon, He Jin made an appointment with Andy Lau and told him about his plan to sell "The Fast and the Furious" to New Line Cinema for US$4 million.

No one is a fool, neither Chinese nor foreigners.

But this kind of thing must be discussed with him.

When He Jin went to the company the next day, the fans who were waiting downstairs at Huaxing Records held up a sign saying "Yihuang".

Just like Ye Qianwen, in an interview yesterday, when she was asked by a reporter about "One Emperor and Four Kings", although she did not answer openly, she was mocking He Jin openly and secretly, calling him arrogant.

Therefore, when Hollywood film dealers purchase films, they purchase all North American copyrights.

Some things are subtle.

"It's you, Zi Niu. Fortunately, you didn't agree that day. If you had agreed, we would have lost two million US dollars."

Just like how passionate the fans are.

With such a strong speed on the list, the media naturally chose to report it immediately.

And people who don’t understand are naturally full of doubts.

As long as there are fans who call him this, then slowly, he will naturally become the so-called emperor.

["The King of K-Songs" has reached the top of the song charts. I can't sing well, so don't frown. How can I perform the singer's love songs with all my heart?]

Then think too much.

"I got news that American films are starting to be imported into China.

However, after all, this film was jointly invested by him and Andy Lau, even though Andy Lau said he would make the decision.

Even if your share is higher or lower than the buyout, they won't be willing.

If you have status, you are naturally qualified to negotiate with them for agreements such as sharing.

…

"You haven't counted the mainland yet."

Not only did other newspapers not report it, but even Oriental Daily News did not include this report in today’s news.

[Undoubtedly the first of the five kings, one person has released a new song, and all of them have reached the top ten on the list]

Damn it, 100 million Hong Kong dollars! If you don’t know, we can actually divide 50 million between us.

He Jin's strength naturally pushed down the songs of other Five Heavenly Kings.

Have the producers here in Hong Kong never done so-called gambling agreements?

For He Jin, this price is also suitable.

The income from other Hong Kong box offices, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea is almost pure profit.

And today, when an unreasonable reporter asked about this matter again, her words became "I don't know!"

Although he is currently very popular in North America and is one of the most popular foreigners in North America this year.

[Lin Xi posted a message claiming that he doesn’t like He Jin]

If one person breaks the rules and buys movies on a share basis, then this kind of thing will happen one after another, and then everyone will not make money.

Therefore, four million U.S. dollars is already the highest price currently offered by Hollywood studios.

In addition, VCD and other CDs are not included. If CDs are added, it will be even more.

Fans are free, others have not broken any laws, and He Jin is not a policeman, so he has no control over this.

In addition, none of the singers who originally expressed dissatisfaction with He Jin in interviews yesterday actually mentioned this matter today.

He Jin smiled.

Of course, there are exceptions. If you reach the superstar level, you will be as powerful as Jackie Chan in later generations.

Yes, that's the rule. Hollywood film studios have a default rule when purchasing films, that is, they will not give any rights to the films outside of North America.

"mainland?"

He has invested in no less than ten movies, but this is the first time he has made such a good profit.

At that time, this will not be promoted by him, but called by fans. Other companies have ideas and can't do anything about it.

Moreover, he also has the idea of ​​letting his fans indulge.

He Jin smiled.

In the past, Hong Kong movies and American movies, unless they were co-produced, could not be shown in domestic cinemas except for CDs that could be played in mainland China.

Starting this year, after the reform of the domestic film introduction system, Hong Kong films will be able to choose to be released domestically.

Of course, it needs to be reviewed.
