Chapter 151: Co-production between China and India? (3/4)
Shen Changlin can't give in anymore. If he gives in again... let's just change him!
Fortunately, Jackie Chan spoke up and stopped Tang Jili from continuing the conversation...
The three of them chatted about other things.
"How much does Xiao Shen think our movie can earn at the box office?"
Shen Changlin thought for a moment: "It's hard to say, but most of the revenue from such pure action movies comes from DVD rentals! But with the popularity of Big Brother, I think it's not a big problem if it exceeds 100 million US dollars in North America and 300 million US dollars globally!"
"box office?"
"certainly!"
Tang Jili interjected: "Actually, when we were working on "Hurricane Rescue", we wanted to make "Chinese" but we never had time..."
Jackie Chan nodded: "There are too many projects in the past few years!"
""Heavenly Generals" is a proposition composition and must be filmed!"
The theme of peace and unity along the ancient Silk Road complements the concept of “One Belt, One Road”...
"The theme is to turn enemies into friends and maintain peaceful coexistence!"
"...It's pretty good, actually...forget it, big brother, "The Expendables", why didn't you participate?"
Shen Changlin originally wanted to say that the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty was created, but it's boring to talk about this, so let's talk about something else...
"No agreement!"
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Jackie Chan has made so many movies over the years. There is no one where he did not bring a group of brothers to shoot. If you hire Jackie Chan, it means you have to hire a family class. Most of the martial arts and stunt work will be done by Jackie Chan. Contracted.
"Hollywood movies have stereotypes about Asians."
Jackie Chan talked a lot about the projects that invited him back then: "I have a very good relationship with Stallone, and Stallone mentioned that I should play a repentant drug dealer in a film who eventually turns to good deeds. I didn't want to. I didn't want to. Play a drug dealer on screen, even a converted drug dealer.
Later, he invited me to star in another film called "Wreck-It Ralph," in which Sandra Bullock also played a role. He wanted me to play a super criminal, and he played a super policeman who hunted down I, I wasn't comfortable with the character, which ended up being played by Wesley Snipes..."
"Do you want to work with Stallone?"
“There’s the idea…but it needs the right script!”
Shen Changlin did not shrug: "This is simple..."
"Both sides need to have a positive image!"
"No problem, you can set up a Chinese oil refinery in Iraq that was attacked. You are a security contractor and are ordered to disperse the workers in a critical situation. Then you find out that they have been held hostage by terrorists. Then the former U.S. Marine played by Stallone members...the two teamed up to thwart their plot."
Tang Jili's eyes lit up: "This setting is okay!"
Shen Changlin was a little surprised...
Is this thing also called okay?
This setting is too cliche...
In the original time and space, this movie was called "The Furious Sandstorm", and then something happened to Yaolai, Fan Xiaopang's brother Xiao Qi declared bankruptcy, and the billion-dollar mansion was auctioned by the court!
With no choice, the crew even sold advertisements on Pearl River Channel to attract investment...
Later, I attracted new traffic Gong Jun, and I don’t know what happened next.
"...If you are interested, I can ask the company's screenwriters to come up with a complete set of scripts!"
"You won't do it?"
"I have seven or eight projects on hand now, and I don't have the energy to do new ones!"
…
"China-India co-production? How to film this?"
"This is the big proposition given by the above!"
Guradi
Well, when the boss visited India, he said that China is willing to work with India to formulate a China-India cultural exchange plan and expand exchanges and cooperation in the fields of culture, education, tourism, religion, film and television, media, human resources and other fields.
Mentioned film and television cooperation...
How to cooperate?
China and India co-produce!
As the Chinese star that Indians are most familiar with, Jackie Chan is responsible for carrying the banner!
“China-India co-production is really difficult!”
"What do Chang Lin think?"
Shen Changlin joked: "How about we make Pang Guoxing's autobiography? It would be considered a Sino-Indian co-production!"
Jackie Chan was very interested: "Who is Pang Guoxing?"
"In 1962, four young heroes of the self-defense counterattack got separated from the main force. They simply formed a group of four. Pang Guoxing was the group leader. He led the small group all the way into the enemy's hinterland and killed 7 The Indian officers seized cars, binoculars, howitzers and other supplies, and also led a large force to seize an artillery position, leaving the small team members unscathed."
"He also wrote in his diary that 'the enemy not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back at me!'"
Tang Jili looked at Jackie Chan who had a shocked face, and then suppressed a smile and said: "...I'm afraid this is not in line with the big proposition of China-India co-production..."
"I know, I just said it casually."
After a pause, he said: "There is no exchange between China and India. They either take pictures of Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures, or they take pictures of...yoga!"
"Yoga?"
Jackie Chan interjected: "...Is what you just said about Pang Guoxing true?"
"Of course...you can look at historical documentaries..."
"Ahem..." Tang Jili said: "We are discussing Sino-Indian co-production!"
Shen Changlin looked at him, and then said: "If it doesn't work, just make a sequel to "Myth"!"
"The sequel to "Myth"?"
"I really like "The Myth". A hero with superior martial arts, dedication to duty, and charisma falls in love with someone he shouldn't like. There is a conflict between loyalty and love, reason and emotion. It's very interesting..."
"How can I continue this story...I've already finished it."
"...I just mentioned it casually."
Shen Changlin didn't really want to get involved in this...
It's not his project, so why are you so enthusiastic about making suggestions?
He is not Qi Jianhong, he needs to build a brand around the IP of Jackie Chan...
Around Jackie Chan, Qi Jianhong established Yaolai Film and Television, and also established a relationship with the Huayi Department...
In 2012, BJ Junlian Jiarui was established with old shareholders of the Huayi Group including Pants, Zhang Guoli, and Huang Jiaozhu as shareholders.
Later, Yaolai Film and Television and Legend Jiarui jointly implemented a backdoor listing through a company called "Songliao Automobile", and soon changed their name to Cultural Investment Holdings.
Qi Jianhong started out as a luxury goods agent and had a lot of luxury goods agency rights. Therefore, after Wu Xian returned to China, it was logical that he became a spokesperson for a lot of luxury goods...
By the way, Qi Jianhong's daughter Qi Meihe appeared on the CCTV stage when she was 10 years old and sang "Country" with Jackie Chan...
Sino-Indian co-production...it should be Fan Xiaopang's brother Xiao Qi who helps make suggestions!
——"I'm Not Pan Jinlian" won the Best Actress Award at the St. Bastian International Film Festival. She specifically mentioned Qi Jianhong in a series of thank you lists, "Thank you, Brother Xiao Qi."
Jackie Chan heard that Shen Changlin was not interested in this project, so he changed the subject: "Who are you going to find as the foreign actor for "The Vengeful Man"?"
Shen Changlin didn't understand: "This should be the job of producer Matthew Tomazzi, right?"
"So, you have no objection?"
Chapter completed!
