Inviting Jackie Chan to collaborate may seem like a whim, but in fact, Bai Quinn had been thinking about it for a long time.

Among the five movies in Memento, in addition to "Bonnie and Frank" and "The Bad Guys", "Infernal Affairs" can also be filmed.

The highlight of "Infernal Affairs" is that police and criminals work undercover against each other. It can be filmed by changing the background to the United States. Wes Anderson is very interested in this script and hopes that you can make it into a crime film in the style of "Goodfellas".

That Korean zombie movie involves too much future technology. Although it can be called a science fiction movie, live broadcasts, smartphones, realistic shooting games, and instant messaging software between strangers are all the things that will make you rich in the future.

How could Bai Quinn let them be exposed? If they were deleted, the feeling of alienation between people due to technological advancement in the original film would be gone, so it would be impossible to remake it.

As for his first Memento movie, "Shinjuku Incident" starring Jack Cheng, due to the special background, even if the location is moved from RB to the United States, it still needs a large number of Chinese actors to participate. In this case, this movie will

It is not filmed for American audiences, but for the entire Chinese-speaking market. Wedmark Video cannot be released in Chinese-speaking regions.

In "Shinjuku Incident", Jack Cheng looks more than ten years older than he does now. He doesn't have many action scenes in the whole film. This makes Bai Quinn have an unknown speculation. Maybe ten years later, Jack Cheng will become a successful actor.

Not moving anymore.

This speculation made him quite uncomfortable. After all, it was his first memory fragment, and perhaps his obsession with his previous life was in it. Now the opportunity was in front of him. If possible, he wanted to fight while Jack Cheng was still alive.

, helped him make this movie.

When Jack Cheng heard Bai Quinn's words, he acted very calmly, left his contact information, and entered the screening room.

In Jack Cheng's opinion, no matter how good his Mandarin is, Bai Quinn is just an ABC banana, not even a banana. He has no obvious Chinese characteristics and is just a little foreigner.

Can a young foreigner write a script that suits him?

Yesterday, he just rejected the script provided by New Line Cinema and told them that if they continue to cooperate, he hopes that the creative positions such as director and screenwriter will still be filled by Hong Kong filmmakers, and a few foreigners will be hired as supporting actors, and the filming location will be

Just the United States.

Of course, with Jack Cheng's character, he would not directly reject Bai Quinn. If they form a good relationship, there may be the possibility of cooperation in the future.

Sitting in the screening room, Jack Cheng was still thinking that if this little foreigner really had some skills, he could play a supporting actor in a new film cooperating with New Line Cinema.

Whether he is qualified to cooperate with him remains to be seen. Watch the film with peace of mind...

…

The ninety-minute movie ended quickly. The song "It's My Life" played, the lights in the screening room came on, and the audience stood up and applauded to welcome the creative team to the stage.

Under the leadership of Chris and Wes Anderson, everyone thanked the audience. There was no interview session or fan interaction session. After thanking them, they left the venue.

To Bai Quinn's surprise, Jack Cheng strode towards the stage from the aisle, stopped in front of him, and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands and hug him.

"Congratulations, Bai Quinn, your film is wonderful. I even forgot that its production cost was only 8 million Hong Kong dollars. Sorry, it was 1 million US dollars..."

Chris had reported the production cost too high when promoting it to the public, but Quinn would not tell the truth.

Jack Cheng continued: "By the way, are you free tomorrow? Let's make an appointment to talk in detail."

Bai Quinn smiled and replied: "I'm free! I'm very much looking forward to cooperating with you, my big brother!"

Both of them spoke in Chinese, and the others were confused. It wasn't until Jack Cheng was sent away that Bai Quinn excitedly said to Chris: "Remember that script that Said particularly liked? Jack Cheng was interested.

, invite me to meet and chat with him tomorrow."

"That script..." Chris was not very interested. Several of Bai Quinn's scripts had been registered and Chris had read them all. He always thought that the script involving illegal immigrants was used by Bai Quinn to appease Sai.

Yide, who is a die-hard fan of Jack Cheng, did not expect that Jack Cheng himself would be interested.

How can there be a market for a group of illegal immigrants from China, most of whom are Chinese characters?

Chris has become accustomed to looking at movies from the perspective of a producer. Among the several scripts that Bai Quinn presented, his favorite is the story about police and gangsters planting undercover agents for each other. That is the story of their Italian mafia!

After filming "The Evil Dead," Chris must let Bai Quinn film "Infernal Affairs" first. Chris secretly made up his mind.

…

After returning home, Bai Quinn and Sara worked frantically for several hours. Although they were very tired, they still kept their eyes wide open and did not want to sleep.

Finally, the phone rang, and Sarah grabbed the receiver on the bed faster than Bai Quinn. Chris's excited shout came from inside: "The average price of a single theater is 810 US dollars, and the total national box office of the premiere is 970,000 US dollars!" Harvey said

, it will definitely exceed 10 million in the first weekend!”

Bai Quinn was still calm and immediately grabbed the microphone and asked: "Where is "First Degree of Fear"? And where is "A Thin Line of Love and Hate" by that guy Martin?"

Chris immediately replied: "The single theater of "First Degree of Fear" is not as good as ours, with only more than 700 US dollars, but they opened on nearly 2,000 screens, and the total box office may be around 1.5 million... "The Thin Line of Love and Hate" was chosen by us

It was defeated. It opened on 1,100 screens and only had a box office of 400,000. I heard from Harvey that Martin Lawrence's recent weird performance is the main factor hindering the box office."

"What other weird behavior did you have? Wasn't it just that you were severely beaten by me in the ring?"

"No, didn't you see the news today? A crew member of "A Thin Line between Love and Hate" broke the news that Martin Lawrence, who also served as the director, lost control of his emotions during the filming, abused the heroine, and even beat other actors, and was eventually sent into a mental state

For medical treatment, the crew stopped working for a week, and all these news were suppressed before..."

This is Harvey's move!

Bai Quinn finally realized the power of Hollywood bosses. Harvey, who was smiling and chatting with her tonight, was much more ruthless than a single-minded nigger!

Falling back on the bed, Bai Quinn felt a little dreamy. When he first decided to make a movie, his goal was to sell more TV stations and chain audio and video rental companies. Rental income of 10,000 yuan a month would be good.

Later, after a group of professionals joined in, the goal kept getting higher and higher, thinking that maybe we could sell the film at the Sundance Film Festival. Even a one-week tour in theaters would be considered a breakthrough.

Taking the finished product to Sundance, when Michael Buck from Sony Classics called out a quote of 1.2 million, Chris almost shouted "YES".

Until it was sold to Miramax for 3 million, Bai Quinn still felt it was unreal.

Now someone told him that the movie's first weekend box office might exceed 10 million dollars, and maybe the total box office could exceed 30 million US dollars!

No one drank too much, 30 million, maybe M-Fxxk can really become a reality!

…

The next day, Bai Quinn went to see Jack Cheng with swollen panda eyes.

It may have been someone from New Line Cinema who revealed the news. As soon as they met Jack Cheng congratulated him on the box office success, which is expected to exceed 10 million in the first weekend.

Bai Quinn quickly explained that this movie was purchased by Miramax for 3 million yuan. No matter how good the box office was, he had no share in it. Maybe Harvey could show his kindness and give him a red envelope worth tens of thousands of yuan as a reward.

Speaking of this, Jack Cheng was also filled with righteous indignation. He and Bai Quinn cursed that big Hollywood companies are not things. His "Red Zone" had a box office of 30 million in North America, but only 5 million actually fell into the hands of the producer.

In order to make this film, he almost broke his leg and it took him three or four months to recover. If it weren't for the Hong Kong box office that made him money, and if he didn't hope to gain international fame, he would never have done it.

I will work with Hollywood again.

Chatting between Chinese people is different from the straightforward chatting between Americans and Americans. Bai Quinn, who had not experienced this kind of context for a long time, hesitated for two seconds before reacting and asked: "Brother Cheng, do you want to talk to Xinxing again?"

Cooperation with Cable Film Industry?”

Jack Cheng nodded, admitting it, and continued: "But I don't like the script they provided. I plan to use our own Hong Kong people for the entire crew and leave some supporting roles for them..."
Chapter completed!
