Chapter 172 Jackie Chan (make up for yesterday)

Shen Changlin hugged Yang Fan, let go, and then said contemptuously: "What have you been doing lately?"

"What's wrong... Our heroine in "Happy Death Day" is Emma Roberts!"

"Emma Roberts? Three million dollars to touch her?"

"...it seems like the split is pretty high..."

"Okay, Emma, ​​just Emma," Shen Changlin suddenly realized something: "Holy shit, have you got her?"

"...No, I've recently...been very close to Sandra Bullock and Renee Zellweger...it's a bit overwhelming!"

Shen Changlin swallowed, not envious, but frightened!

Of course these two are great beauties...

Twenty years ago!

Nowadays, they are all old people who are over fifty years old...

As he gets older, he becomes stronger, as hard as his wrists, but as soft as his lower body. He has broken through the frontier of the evolutionary chain and is at the top of the food chain. According to legend, he is like a wolf and a tiger, sitting on the ground and sucking dirt, and leaning against the wall to suck bricks!

Shen Changlin stood in awe and said with sincere admiration: "You are awesome!"

"...It's good. They won't pester me, let alone covet my resources...I won't talk to you about this anymore. Who is this?"

"Zhang Han, editor-in-chief of People magazine."

"Hello!"

Zhang Han's expression was similar to that of Shen Changlin, and he shook hands enthusiastically: "Hello, warrior!"

"...What a warrior, don't talk nonsense."

Yang Fan waved his hand, as if these were not worth mentioning to him...

Shen Changlin was about to say a few flirty words when he suddenly saw an acquaintance and changed his words: "You two talk slowly... They are coming to pick me up!"

"...The people from New Line came with me. They knew you were going to collaborate with Jackie Chan on a new film, and they were very enthusiastic..."

Zhang Han was surprised: "What about Colombia?"

Yang Fan explained: "Colombia was kicked out... After all, we have a series of cooperation with New Line, but we only have a relationship with Columbia for a few movies, and Jackie Chan himself prefers to cooperate with New Line!"

"You two talk..."

Shen Changlin greeted him, then got in the car and headed to the hotel...



Jackie Chan has a good relationship with New Line, and "Red Line" was released by New Line.

Good results.

Well, it took in US$32.39 million in North America, setting a North American box office record for a foreign language film!

Later, Miramax bought some of Jackie Chan's old movies and released them, such as "Police Story 3: Super Cop", "Police Story 4: Simple Mission", "A Good Man", "Double Dragon Club", "Drunken Master", "Drunken Master" "Fist 2", "Eagle Project" and so on.

Yes, it’s an old work!

Jackie Chan, who has not yet filmed "Rush Hour", has already begun to have box office appeal. Those Hong Kong films, except "Double Dragon Club", have all exceeded 10 million US dollars in North American box office.

Moreover, "Double Dragon Club" and "Drunken Master 2" "seem" the theater box office is not too high, but in terms of audio and video products, they are quite amazing.

The North American DVD rental revenue of "Double Dragon Club" was US$20.2 million, and the video tape (VHS) rental revenue was US$7.68 million. The North American DVD rental revenue of "Drunken Master 2" was US$26.7 million, and the video tape (VHS) rental revenue was US$15.47 million.

Originally, "Who Am I" could also be scheduled to be released in North American theaters, but as a result, Golden Harvest's boss, Zou Wenhuai, encountered the Asian financial crisis due to real estate speculation, and owed a lot of debt, so he sold a batch of more than 160 Golden Harvest-produced films to Warner Bros. in the United States. company.

But it's not entirely without merit. Before "Rush Hour" was released, "Who Am I" was broadcast three times in two weeks on American television, which played a very effective publicity role. Therefore, "Who Am I" did not enter North American theaters, not because of Jackie Chan , but Jiahe’s pot.

Then, the box office of "Rush Hour" exceeded 33 million US dollars in the first three days of the week. It won the North American box office weekly championship for two consecutive weeks and had strong stamina. The final box office reached 141 million US dollars, ranking seventh in the North American box office that year.

Everyone is familiar with what happened after that. "Shanghai Noon" was invested and distributed by Bowei International. By the way, Bowei International is the general name of a large entertainment media company, which includes Touchstone, Miramax, Dimension and... Disney!

That’s why Disney paid a high salary of US$20 million to hire Jackie Chan to film “Around the World in 80 Days”…

Jackie Chan is still a brand!

You must know that after "Around the World in 80 Days" failed at the box office, "Kung Fu Dream" invited him to star and offered him $10 million + a global 7% dividend!

Then "Kung Fu Dream" sold US$359 million worldwide, and Jackie Chan received US$40 million in dividends!

Let's talk about "The King of England", which is Jackie Chan's comeback to foreign language films after a break from Hollywood for nearly 7 years. He is the producer and director Martin Campbell, and has already filmed "GoldenEye" and "Casino Royale". I flew all the way to bj for an interview and won the director position!

Let's put it this way, Jackie Chan is a peak, an era, like a legend, you can only look up to him, no one can match him!

However, when Shen Changlin and Jackie Chan meet, they often talk not about movies, but about many jokes...

Jackie Chan was particularly aggrieved, complaining about the Hong Kong media spreading rumors. For example, what he said back then was "mistakes made by many men" and was packaged as "mistakes made by men all over the world"...

Uncle Long is really miserable. If he holds hands with girls or boys, the marketing accounts are overwhelming. If he donates to a school, the mainstream media will report it, or no one will report it...

He is a traditional man with an explosion of machismo. He regards matters related to loyalty and feelings of family and country as extremely important.

As for feelings? Just deal with it.

After all, he is still an uncle who has not caught up with the mainstream concept...

This kind of person is perfect for boxing!

It's a benchmark.

Moreover, he said back then that 'too much freedom would lead to chaos, and then 'we Chinese people need to be controlled', and then said 'China will continue to get better and better in ten years', which directly tore apart the concept of "liberal democracy" The glamorous coat was lifted, and it coincided with the popularity of public knowledge in the mainland, so he was criticized and ridiculed miserably.

The beginning and end were cut off, leaving only the words "Chinese people need to be controlled"...



Having dinner together in the evening, Shen Changlin looked at the action coaching team this time: Han Guanhua.

Very satisfied…

Han Guanhua is considered to be an excellent action director in the family group at this stage. He was the main action director of "Twelve Zodiac Signs", "Army of Heaven" and the subsequent "English Showdown".

Jackie Chan suddenly asked: "Um... where is Nazha?"

"Oh," Shen Changlin put down his knife and fork and explained: "Na Zha will come over tomorrow...she still has one day of scenes in her TV series!"

"…TV drama?"

"She was filmed in movies and TV series..."

“Why not focus on movies?”

"There are too few good movies...and she makes more money from TV series. She can earn up to 5 million for a movie now, but she can earn at least 18 million for a TV series..."

"...Is it so profitable to make a TV series now?"

"Yeah," Shen Changlin nodded: "The major video platforms give more money, and the copyright is easier to sell. The profit has increased two or three times compared with before, so the cost can go up..."

Jackie Chan thought about it for a while and then asked: "Can you arrange for my son to film a TV series?"

"Prince Fang?"

"It's hard to get ahead in a movie with a small house!"

Shen Changlin really wanted to say, 'Your son is taking drugs!', but he had no evidence...

After thinking for a while, he said: "It depends on the situation. If there is a suitable script, I will contact him."

"Well, thank you..."

Shen Changlin continued to eat, and suddenly thought of something: "Brother, I have something to ask you!"

"you say!"

"I want to add an easter egg and treat it as a preview of the sequel..."

"Sequel trailer?"

"Your old friend called you and said that he has been looking for you. You invited him to come together, and then the two of you will deal with the opponents in the sequel. Who do you think is suitable?"

Jackie Chan thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a good candidate, so he simply asked: "What do you think?"

"How is Teacher Yuan Biao?"
