Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 609 Rejecting the invitation from "God of Gamblers III"

"Jin Zai, long time no see! If you are free recently, I have planned a new drama!!"

As soon as He Jin and the others sat down, Wang Jing, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and asked him.

"What drama?"

At this time, Anita Mui on the stage was delivering a speech, and their seats were at the front. In order not to give off a rude impression, he did not turn his head to answer, but continued to look at Anita Mui on the stage.

""God of Gamblers"! I plan to make a prequel."

Wang Jing answered in a suppressed voice.

He Jin glanced at him, "God of Gamblers..." He already knew which movie it was, but knowing that he knew it, he still asked on the surface.

"Then why don't you find Brother Fa!"

When it comes to God of Gamblers, the first person that comes to mind for anyone who has watched it is definitely Chow Yun-fat.

Therefore, instead of looking at other people’s opinions, I might as well establish a new theater chain myself, so that the company’s films can be more independent in the future.”

"You want to build a theater chain?"

Wang Jing thought for a moment and said.

Although He Jin knew that this method might not really give the newcomers a way out, but it would at least give them some opportunities.

Seeing that He Jin was still unwilling, although Wang Jing was still a little unwilling, she finally chose to give up and did not continue the invitation.

Among them, He Jin is his favorite.

"Get ready. I've contacted you about a drama. You can try it out tomorrow."

Overall, this film still made money. Its final box office seemed to be more than 19 million, making it the ninth highest-grossing film in its previous life in 1996.

This led to him still hesitating whether to become Huaren's satellite company.

His personal investment did not require his films to be released in theaters established after Huaren, which reassured Wang Jing a lot.

He Jin's words shocked Wang Jing.

Sometimes, it may be just the slightest chance that one or two newcomers can succeed.

But He Jin's personal investment is different.

Although Wang Jing is worried that cooperating with Huaren will cause his company to be suppressed by Jiahe in the future.

For small-production movies, theater chains sometimes take 70 to 80 percent of the share.

For movies with big-name stars like Stephen Chow and Jet Li, the box office split is 50-50.

As long as He Jin joins, you will definitely not lose money when the time comes.

But He Jin was not satisfied with this. He wanted to sort out the two companies and began to prepare to enter the mainland market.

The whole banquet, apart from watching the performances and chatting with acquaintances, was of no interest at all.

He Jin shook his head and refused softly.

But after coming to Xiangjiang for a while, he found that it was really not that difficult for him to get ahead.

He Jin said that he wanted to invest in his drama, not in the name of the company, but in his own name.

When saying goodbye to Wu Jing, He Jin explained to him.

Anita Mui's birthday party was boring, at least that's what He Jin thought.

After we cooperate, it will be very convenient for your company's films to be released in our company's theaters."

On the stage, Anita Mui had finished speaking, and everyone stood up and applauded.

It's already early October of 1995. Judging from the time, if Wang Jing's God of Gamblers is to be released, it should be in 1996.

It’s been a while since I came to Xiangjiang.

This is a big factor in the lack of jobs for future actors in Hong Kong.

According to He Jin's memory, the God of Gamblers in 1996 should be the "God of Gamblers 3: Young God of Gamblers" played by Liming's partner Jordan Chan.

"Now that you have left Yongsheng and the company has been established, are you interested in cooperating with us? I have already started to build a theater chain.

"If we want to cooperate, I need to think about it, but if your theater chain is really ready, I will try to distribute the movie to you."

After He Jin made up his mind to join the cinema industry, one of his measures was to reduce the share ratio in order to open up the market as soon as possible.

The appearance of well-known movie stars does ensure box office success, but it also means that newcomers in Hong Kong have no chance to stand out.

It is precisely because of the low share ratio of small-production movies and movies starring newcomers that every company will try its best to find famous movie stars as leading actors to carry the box office when making movies.

So he could only refuse.

At the banquet just now, he had a brief chat with Wang Jing about his God of Gamblers III.

"Thank you, Brother Jin. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

He didn't even want to talk about that shabby appearance.

There is no doubt that with the success of the first two movies, Chow Yun-fat has become synonymous with the God of Gamblers, Gao Jin. He is Gao Jin, and Gao Jin is him.

If He Jin is free, he wouldn't mind appearing.

Judging from his face, it is not difficult to tell that he must have approached Chow Yun-fat, but he was obviously rejected.

There were only a dozen people in the audience, and a stage was randomly set up in the big courtyard, and it was called the God of Gamblers Competition.

Chow Yun-fat has the God of Gamblers, Andy Lau has the Gambler, and Stephen Chow has the Gambler. The three box-office hits of the 1990s all have their own gambling film series.

"I probably won't be taking any roles next year. I'm really sorry."

So, after Anita Mui finished cutting the cake, He Jin said something to her and left with Little Jude and Wu Jing.

Wang Jing's expression was not very good, "He is busy working in Hollywood now, how can he have time to film!"

Now that Chow Yun-fat has refused to act, the only people who can resist the box office of God of Gamblers are the five kings.

Moreover, according to his memory, God of Gamblers III was the simplest in Wong Jing's gambling film series. The investment in the entire film was so small that even the final battle scene was simply a small stage.

This not only allows major production companies to choose movies to be released in its theaters, but also stimulates those companies to recruit new talents to make films.

"I don't like being controlled by others. You should have heard that Su San was cut off by Jiahe, which almost caused our company to lose money.

After a pause, he continued: "Don't worry, our theater chain will be open to all film and television production companies. As long as the quality of the film passes the standard, we can help distribute it. In addition, we can also give you some concessions on the share of the film. We will definitely not

It will be higher than Jiahe."

"Is there no chance at all? I can try to finish filming within a week."

He Jin shook his head, "Vivian is going to give birth next year, and I want to spend time with her. In addition, I plan to run the company well."

Unfortunately, he has already planned not to make a movie next year. He even plans to only release about one album.

…

After He Jin finished speaking, he continued: "I am very optimistic about your best partner. If you agree, you can cooperate with us, ask us to invest when shooting the movie, and then hand over the movie to us for distribution."

When he first came here, he was very ambitious and thought that he would be the next Jet Li and he would definitely become famous in the future.

Wang Jing did not give up and continued to fight to get He Jin into the crew.

But it's different for small productions or plays with second- and third-tier actors.

When He Jin saw the final battle, he was completely disappointed.

If I also have a gambling movie series, I might be able to make some good news in the future.

After getting He Jin's response, he couldn't help but ask:

"The theater industry in Xiangjiang is in a mess now, and many theaters have closed down due to losses. Are you not afraid of losing money if you join in now?"

The entire Xiangjiang crew is very exclusive. Except for Huaren Film and Television, it is really difficult for other companies to get ahead.

So he agreed to let He Jin invest one million.

In the end, Wang Jing asked Wu Jing to have a test tomorrow. Whether he succeeds or not, it will be considered as a favor to He Jin.

If this happens the first time, it will happen a second time. I don't want to encounter this kind of situation again.

The current share of revenue between Hong Kong theater chains and production companies has always been dominated by theater chains.

Since his debut, He Jin has been either filming or recording songs. Although the two companies he established have developed very well.

After He Jin invested, he recommended Wu Jing to Wang Jing, hoping that he would give him a role.

He Jin applauded and said to Wang Jing:

Wu Jing was very grateful to He Jin for personally asking him for a role.

It's not easy even for locals, let alone a mainlander like him.

That's why he was very grateful to He Jin for his support.

"It's okay, they are all from China. If we want to get ahead, we must unite. If you succeed, won't you be able to help me in the future?"

He Jin laughed, didn't say much to Wu Jing, and let Ahu drive home.
