Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 553 A good beginning

In the next few days, He Jin and other actors from the original "Fast and Furious" crew began a small-scale promotional tour in the United States.

Among them, He Jin is the busiest.

As one of the male protagonists of the film, he is also the most famous member of the crew in North America.

Naturally, he shouldered the main responsibility for publicity.

He was promoted separately from the rest of the cast.

Andy Lau, Little Jude and others attended various live events together under the arrangement of New Line Cinema.

And He Jin travels between major TV programs and radio stations.

New Line Cinema has not hidden their desire to capitalize on the recent popularity of He Jin.

In a previous negotiation with the top management of New Line Cinema, the supervisor named Jellison told He Jin their thoughts without hesitation.

So, TV interviews about movies, music radio about music.

As a condition of riding on this wave of popularity, they allowed He Jin to actively promote his records in various TV interviews arranged by them.

According to the contract between He Jin and New Line, New Line has priority in purchasing "Fast and Furious 2".

Until He Jin suddenly gained momentum in the United States, and in just a few weeks, countless Americans knew about him.

Similarly, when He Jin promotes the album during interviews, he will not deviate from the theme of promoting the movie.

In addition, VCD is now starting to rise, and the sales figures of discs will only be higher.

Ani, who bought "The Fast and the Furious" from New Line Cinema, told He Jin.

The net box office has exceeded 10 million, so the profit from the video will be even higher.

It's a win-win situation.

He also promised that if the box office of this film can really exceed 10 million, he will receive a very considerable bonus. In addition, he may be promoted based on the success of purchasing this film.

Of course, both parties know when enough is enough.

He contacted He Jin again and expressed great interest in the follow-up film of "Fast and Furious", hoping that He Jin could consider selling them the North American rights of the follow-up film at a suitable price.

Therefore, if Ani now wants to negotiate this project, He Jin will naturally not agree.

But the New Line side was very happy.

Originally, according to New Line's original plan, the film would eventually be made into a video tape and released to the market.

The conclusion drawn from the statistics is.

If the box office in North America really exceeds tens of millions, then for this second film, even if He Jin offers a price of seven to eight million, there should be people who are willing to buy it.

New Line Cinema can capitalize on the popularity of Ho Jin Records to attract attention.

Because of the commitment from the top management, Anni was very high-spirited.

As long as they want to buy it and offer an amount that matches other film producers, this second film will have to be sold to them.

Throughout the United States, since the 1980s, dozens or dozens of films have been imported from Hong Kong, Europe, Japan and other places every year.

It was precisely because of He Jin's sudden popularity that New Line made the temporary decision to let the film go to theaters.

However, although it was decided to release the film in theaters, New Line executives and Time Warner behind it actually did not have much confidence.

This statistical data may not be the best in the entire United States, but it is still in an upper-middle position.

The same goes for "The Fast and the Furious".

However, all this must be done under the premise that no one buys it, or other film producers cannot match the price.

Similarly, He Jin can also use it to promote his album while promoting his movie.

They want to use He Jin's popularity to increase the attention of the film.

As we all know, these days, the biggest profit for a movie is not the box office, but the video tape.

The remaining twenty people said it depends on their mood.

For a company like New Line Cinema that started by introducing foreign language films.

Judging from the current situation, the price of the second part may have to go up a bit.

On the 17th, New Line Cinema specially sent people to conduct statistics at the entrances of major theaters.

Making a small profit at the box office is already something worth celebrating for them.

Five million dollars to buy a movie with a box office of ten million dollars should be considered a small profit for them.

All American film studios place their money-making position on foreign-language films on video tapes.

Many foreigners know why the Chinese singer is going to make a movie.

Naturally, He Jin would not be unwilling to do this.

Moreover, the type of this movie is similar to "Speed".

In response to this, He Jin just smiled and politely said that he did not want the other party to suffer a loss and would wait until the North American box office of the first film was released before making a decision.

Several days of publicity, plus New Line's publicity on posters and various other publicity channels.

If someone offers a price that exceeds theirs, then sorry, He Jin and Xinxian are not wearing a pair of pants.

As long as the movie is not a big bad movie, the final box office may be in the tens of millions.

When Warner, the company behind New Line, arranges TV interviews, they will steer the conversation towards He Jin's records.

By the 17th, the name "Fast and Furious" actually caused a small sensation in the United States.

With a box office of over 10 million US dollars in North America, if it has an impact, the profit from the video will definitely be over 10 million dollars.

For New Line, four million U.S. dollars, plus publicity expenses of less than one million, the total is only about five million.

As for the box office, they are almost not looking forward to it.

Because based on past data, although this statistic cannot 100% predict the box office, it can still roughly estimate the audience's expectations for this film.

New Line executives currently approve of his purchase of the "Fast and Furious" movie.

He Jin ran more than a dozen radio stations, large and small, in two or three days.

He Jin didn't care much about this statistic.

Most of these films are almost always released on video tapes.

Therefore, if the box office of the first part of "The Fast and the Furious" exceeds 10 million, then there will definitely be people rushing to buy the second part, even if He Jin quotes 8 million.

It wasn't until today's statistics that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, out of these sixty people, about forty people expressed interest in the movie. If possible, they said they would go to the cinema to watch the film.

Out of a hundred people, about 60 people have an impression of the movie Fast and Furious and know He Jin.

But they know how to behave and won't say anything they shouldn't.

After all, their main expectations for these foreign language films are on video tapes.

Moreover, if possible, He Jin would like to try to break the monopoly and participate in the North American release of subsequent films on a share basis.

Of course, the premise of all this is that "Fast and Furious" must be powerful.

If there is no effort, then everything is just talk.

Even if this movie fails, it will probably be very difficult for the Hong Kong movie starring He Jin to enter the North American market.
